Chen Wu still vaguely remembers that when he was in Pengcheng, Chen Zhi was praised by several elders of Pengcheng, and his family looked surprised. He also remembered that he admired Chen Zhi for this and even returned to his heart completely.uuk.la

"How long has it been? The master no longer needs the valuation of the venerable to enhance his prestige. Instead, he can make an equal argument with these venerables. No, looking at the appearance of the elders, I'm afraid he still wants to flatter the master!"

This feeling is not made of nothing, because Chen Wu also has a similar taste in the attitudes of several servants around him towards him.

At this moment, in front of Chen Wu, a servant from the Tang family was looking at him with a flattering smile, saying, "Our grandfather was quite serious in the past, and he was still slightly ill recently, but looking at his smile today, it is a symbol of health. It can be seen how happy the words of the prefect Chen made my old lady happy."

"Brother Chen, you have followed the prefect for so long and must have known a lot of his deeds. Why not tell us?"

"Yes, and I see your words and deeds, your words and deeds are also appropriate, and you deserve to be influenced by the prefect."

Chen Wu was praised and was also pleased with his master. In addition, the faint flattery of others made him feel more and more comfortable and he quickly got along with everyone.

At the same time, the wine and food came up at this time, and the main masters stopped talking, Chen Zhi persuaded him to drink happily.

Several elders looked at it with a smile and stopped talking. The others finally had time to talk to Chen Zhi, climb onto their friendship, or say a few words to Wu Jie, and talk to Tuoba Yulu about the scenery outside the border.

In such an atmosphere, whether it was Tuoba Yulu from the Xianbei, the Wujie who followed Wang Jun's order, or other clan leaders of the Daijun family who had various thoughts, they were able to enjoy it.

Before the dinner started, several elders from the big family had a lot of words and were extremely purposeful. But when the luncheon officially began, they stopped mentioning these things and gave the stage to others.

For people from aristocratic families, today's lunch is an occasion to make friends, so they speak nicely.

In this way, the meal was harmonious, and no one proposed any sharp or sensitive things at this time. After three rounds of wine, he urged him to drink again, and someone suggested reciting poems and writing a couple.

Originally, Chen Zhi had a reputation, so it was logical that he should have made him stand out, but today Chen Zhi had the highest status on the court. He didn't take the initiative to speak, and it was hard for others to suggest it. After all, you drink with your leader and don't let the leader sing to cheer him up.

Moreover, the banquet started at noon and occupied the afternoon office hours, which violated the regulations. It was because Wu Jie and Tuoba Yulu were present, so an exception was made. After all, this one was sent by superiors, and the other was a friendly army. He had just experienced the battle formation, so there could be an exception. But if there were any poems in the banquet, it would be bad to spread it.

Chen Zhi was just a first-timer, and no one dared to instigate him in this matter.

So, after everyone was involved in reciting poetry and music, Chen Zhi saw that the temperature was almost the same, so he left with several elders. This was also a matter of particularity. As soon as these people left, the people below suddenly lost their pressure and concerns, and their interest became a little higher.

Chen Zhi and a few old people came out, and said a few more words of politeness, then said goodbye to them. The book boy Chen Wu also followed him at this time and asked, "Master, are we going back to the yamen now?"

Chen Zhitou said, "Yes, I'll go back to the yamen, but you stay here. After lunch, I will send a message to Tuoba Jun for me, saying that I have something to say to him in the evening, and that his intentions can be expressed. I will give him advice. This is not a personal relationship, but a matter of justice. I also know that the tribe's existence is higher than personal friendship, so he will not have any thoughts."

Chen Wu was slightly stunned, but he still responded, then asked a few more questions, knew the details, and then returned to the restaurant.

As soon as Chen Wu left, Chen Zhi turned around and walked forward. Soon three people approached. The person in charge was not old, and it was Ran Zhan who is now protecting Chen Zhi in close proximity.

Chen Zhi called Ran Zhan's words and ordered: "Hongwu, you send two people...you should wait here in person. After the Wu rank comes out, you should pay attention to his whereabouts and don't let him discover it. If it is difficult to hide, then you don't have to keep up."

Ran Zhan was stunned and said, "If I leave, who will protect the gentleman?" There was also a sense of confusion in his words.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "The current Dian County is quite peaceful. There is no threat. It is enough to have them follow me. It is really useless to let you keep an eye on it. But there is no suitable spy at the moment. Others are not good at it. It is easy to be discovered if you keep up. Only you have a good martial arts skill, keep your breath and take care of yourself, and do whatever you want. That's why you have to be wronged and stare at him."

Chen Zhi understood, and Ran Zhan immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, gentleman, let me leave this matter to me and complete the task."

"Don't rush to make a promise," Chen Zhi added: "This time you are not trying to follow someone's name. You just need to see where the Wu rank has gone, who have met again, and have contact with those aspects, but whether he has seen anyone or not, you will be back tonight."

"No!" After getting the order, Ran Zhan found a corner and stood there, staring at the restaurant with wide eyes.

Chen Zhi smiled and was escorted by two guards to the yamen.

On the other hand, during the banquet, Wu Jie and Tuoba Yulu did not leave. After seeing Chen Zhi leave, Wu Jie became more active, walked slowly back and forth, greeting, talking, quoting scriptures, or speaking in a good manner, which made others admire him.

After a cup of tea, the congregation members couldn't help but praise him.

Wu Jie seemed to ask for the torture in his heart, his expression was as usual, he was free and his spirit was even more prosperous. This was when he had a purpose in his heart and a direction for struggle, so he returned to normal.

"Chen Zhi would never have thought that I would contact other families so soon, let alone that I would have taken action against his allies!"

As he walked and said, Wu Jie went around a big circle and returned to the ground, but did not return to his seat, but stopped beside Tuoba Yulu.

The Xianbei general was now being surrounded by leaders of major clans such as Tang Dian and others, laughing from time to time, looking harmonious. When he noticed the arrival of Wu Jie, Tang Dian and others immediately saluted politely. After saying a few words, they understood it and took the initiative to give in and went to other places.

As soon as Tang Dian and others left, Wu Jie smiled at Tuoba Yulu and said, "Tuoba Jun, I listen to you and Tang Jun and others, I am really familiar with my etiquette in the Central Plains. Even compared to some famous scholars in the world, I don't give in."

Tuoba Yu Luze said: "Where, I have studied in Luoyang in the past, and did Chen Hou say that there is any saying of etiquette in the Central Plains? This etiquette method is suitable for all directions, not limited to the Central Plains. We, the Xianbei people, respect etiquette, are also etiquette people."

Wu Jie was slightly stunned and smiled randomly: "Yes, what Tuoba Jun said makes sense. I am obsessed with the appearance. You can see clearly. Speaking of which, you came to Zhongyuan to present a gift to the prefect. Then the prefect should have a good understanding of it. Will you help me in the future?"

When Tuoba Yulu heard this, he smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Wu Jie and said, "Mr. Wu, you don't need to test it. Mr. Chen is a good friend. This time I will help him and myself. The Huns are in Bingzhou and have a great threat to my Tuoba tribe. Just before I went south, I just led the army to fight against the Huns on the grassland, and each had their own victory or defeat. I believe that the news will soon reach General Wang's mansion. No, with the power of the General's mansion, the movements on the grassland must not be hidden from him. I am afraid that the general will know about the battle just now, and even when there are only a slight sign, the general will already know it? Mr. Wu, don't you?"

Wu Jie smiled but said nothing.

Tuoba Yulu didn't expect the other party to respond, so he continued, "Mr. Wu, do you know why this battle started? The reason is that a tribe that originally defected to the Huns was exploited because of resentment. He turned to our tribe and wanted to join us. The changes between the tribes were normal. Our ancestors were good, and even now they lived by water and plants. The change of the sect was temporarily changed, and at most they were punished. However, the Huns were extremely domineering and sent troops directly to kill the tribe, and even built a group of troops into Jingguan."

Wu Jie put away his smile and made a statement of listening.

Tuoba Yulu's words also turned heavy and continued: "In the end, the tribe was still destroyed, and only a few tribes escaped. They also had blood relationships with our tribe. Therefore, my uncle took them in, which is also a very common thing. Tribes, warriors, cattle and sheep, and women are the foundation for gaining a foothold in the grassland. Without these, everything has been lost, but even so, the Huns are unwilling to stop."

"The Huns are powerful, and they need their own sphere of influence," Wu Jie said, "They cannot expand their power even in the south, because this is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and their ideal goal is the grassland in the north. Countless small tribes are the first choice vassals, a betrayed clan, and a target to come to their door. They have done a lot of things like killing chickens and scaring monkeys."

Tuoba Yulu agreed, "Mr. Wu is wise. I think this is the idea that the Huns fought, but they are now ambitious and cannot tolerate someone disobeying them, so they sent someone directly to ask my uncle to hand over it. Otherwise, they would be responsible for the consequences. How could our troops agree to such an irresponsible request? After the Huns were rejected, they brazenly raised their troops. But they looked down on themselves and thought they were really the only one who spoke, and they didn't know that the soldiers who were unrighteous were repelled by our troops!" Later, his voice rose a little, showing excitement.

Wu Jie praised him from the side, but he didn't agree. He knew very well that if the Tuoba Xianbei was a small tribe, then when the Huns wanted people, they would not have to say anything and immediately sent people out. It was just that the tribe was bigger and the population was too large, so they were less obedient. In the past, the Tuoba Xianbei was not without examples of submission.

Moreover, he also knew about the situation on the grassland that the Tuoba people and the Huns were not hostile for a day or two, otherwise why would the top leaders of the small clan defect to them? As long as these people are in hand, the Tuoba Xianbei will have the opportunity to call on the small clan again and annex the small clan in the future.

As for the statement of the unrighteous soldier, it was even more bizarre. In Wu Jie's opinion, it was deliberately told to him.

Besides, these are not what Wu Jie cares about, his real idea is to win over Tuoba Yulu.

But before this thought was expressed, Tuoba Yulu suddenly changed his tone: "Mr. Wu is looking for me, is he trying to let Tuoba Xianbei surrender to General Wang?"

The thought in his heart was so straightforward and said it directly. Wu Jie couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately laughed in a low voice: "What Tuoba Jun said is a bit strange. The nobles dominate the grassland and are not small in strength. They have won and lost each other with the Huns for many years. How can we seek refuge with our general? Besides, our general is also the deployment of the court, and your subordinate is a vassal of the court and is a colleague of the general, so this should be cooperation, mutual assistance, not seek refuge."
