Wei Mansion.

Wei Min sat high on the three-step platform, holding a piece of intelligence he had just received in his hand.

His brows gradually furrowed, and he mumbled an angry word in his mouth. He looked up at the clear sky outside the door, his eyes were filled with fire, and he was extremely angry.

"Second brother, why is this happening?"

Wei Yan looked worried and warned: "Second sister-in-law is also interested in getting closer to my Wei family. She just wants to give Cheng'er a concubine. If she can get the support of many aristocratic families in Jiujiang County, why not?"

Wei Min shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as you think. I know this woman better than anyone else. She only cares about her little brother who can't help her. She has never considered the life and death of other aristocratic families."

Wei Yan frowned. He had also been disdainful of what his second sister-in-law had done. However, now that the second sister-in-law came to Hedong in person with the sincerity of several major families in Jiujiang, the second brother was so motivated. Why?

Is good?

Wei Yan didn't believe it when he said that Wei Min was not affected by the affair between the couple.

When a true man acts, public is public and private is private. If he acts with personal feelings, how can he achieve great things?

As the head of the Goodwill Hall, Wei Wei is the person who communicates with other aristocratic families in the Wei family. He will never allow his second brother Wei Min to displease the favor of the Jiujiang aristocratic family. It seems that he still needs to tell Cheng'er about this matter.

OK.

Wei Min seemed to have seen through his thoughts, turned to look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Wu, some things are not as simple as you think. It would be a simple marriage, but this Jiujiang is where Sun Jian has lived for a long time.

The relationship between the earth and the earth is intricate and complex, and unless you can see it clearly, don’t let the small things lead to the loss of the big things.”

Wei Wei was startled when he heard the words, then nodded and replied: "Second brother, don't worry, the Goodwill Hall has its own rules for doing things, and there will be no opportunities for interested people to take advantage of."

Wei Min glanced at his fifth half-brother meaningfully, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to retreat first.

Wei Yan bowed his hands, glanced at Wei Min, and exited the meeting hall.

After Wei Min watched him leave, he suddenly said: "Send someone to Jiujiang. I want to know everything that happened in the past three months, including why she was able to convince these many aristocratic families to act together."

"..."

No one answered, but Wei Min's expression remained unchanged. He picked up the information on the table and read it carefully again.

After Wei Wei left the meeting hall, he went straight to the Goodwill Hall located in the southwest corner of the Wei Mansion.

As the head of the Goodwill Hall, Wei Yan was mainly responsible for communicating with the nobles of various aristocratic families in the Han Dynasty, and was equivalent to the diplomat of the Wei family.

As soon as Wei Yan walked into the courtyard gate, he saw a graceful figure standing under the peach tree in the courtyard, gently picking up a peach branch with his bare hands, slightly tapping his toes and smelling the fragrance of April flowers.

Wei Yan didn't dare to neglect, took a few steps forward, bowed his hands and saluted, "Why does your highness have time to come to my thatched cottage today?"

The woman turned around and showed off her face. She stood tall and graceful. Even though she was wearing a mask with gold fringes, she could still see her beauty from between her eyebrows.

"Wei Yilang, long time no see."

Wei Wei bowed and saluted. He once served in Taichang and was the official in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple. He once taught the young princes and princesses the rituals of sacrifice at the annual festivals.

"Yes, after Your Highness went to Chang'an, Wei also resigned. Think about it, it will be six or seven years ago."

When Wei Zhuo talked about his resignation, Liu He's starry eyes moved, as if he were reminiscing, and filled with water, which made people feel pity.

"After my father left, the palace was filled with chaos. I, Mrs. Liu, couldn't stand you, and I made many people feel cold."

"Your Highness, it has been so long. Wei has already forgotten about it. Why does Your Highness need to mention it again... I wonder what happened when Your Highness came to my Goodwill Hall today?" Wei Yan did not want to discuss the rights and wrongs of the royal family, so as not to make too many mistakes.

Liu He frowned slightly, looked at the busy Wei family disciples in the Goodwill Hall, and said with emotion: "Originally, I did have something to ask for, but only later did I realize that some things cannot be helped by outsiders. The prosperity of the Wei family is

It makes sense, the decline of the Liu family can be traced, but I am in trouble."

Wei Yan also raised his eyes to look at the busy nephews and brothers, and then recalled the ridiculous actions of the princes he had seen in the palace. Comparing the two, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and sighed for the Han family.

and helplessness.

Liu He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, silently walking towards the courtyard gate.

When Wei Yan looked back, she had already reached the door.

Suddenly his footsteps stopped, and Liu He asked without looking back: "Wei Yilang, do you think my Liu family can be saved?"

Wei Yan's expression changed and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer such a simple question.

After a moment of silence, Liu He seemed to chuckle, and then walked away. However, compared with the peerless elegance just now, her back at this time was even more lonely and lonely.

Xuzhou, Langya County.

Taikang County.

Huang Zhong was training archery on a daily basis, and several young people nearby gathered to bet.

Zhang Fei opened a rotten straw mat and revealed the straw target inside. There were three arrows stuck in the fatal part of the 'heart'.

Hua Cun was overjoyed when he saw this, "Hahaha, I won. Here's the wine, bring it."

Zhang Fei looked at Huang Xu and Tai Shici angrily, and said angrily: "Why are you two so unsatisfactory?"

Huang Xu curled his lips and said angrily: "If you were trying to live up to your expectations, you wouldn't ask the two of us to compete with the old man in a bow and horse competition."

Taishi Ci looked annoyed, looking at Huang Zhong who was still shooting arrows not far away, and said with envy: "Uncle Han's arm strength is really strong, three hundred steps is just ordinary for him, I am not as good as me."

Zhang Fei glared at him angrily, reluctantly took off the wine bottle from his belt on his back, reluctantly handed it to Hua Cun, and said: "We will compete in wrestling tomorrow, do you dare?"

Hua Cun took the wine bottle, unscrewed the cap and took a sip. He patted his chest in high spirits, "Why don't you dare? Let's compete."

Zhang Fei made a cold 'cut' sound, looked back at Huang Zhong, and shouted: "Uncle Han, it's almost done, we still have a mission tonight."

Let's have fun and make fun, and don't delay the business at all.

Huang Zhong shot an arrow and hit the target. He tightened the reins of his horse, moved his shoulder bones, and responded loudly: "In that case, go back and make preparations. There are still more than two hours before Wu Shi. Let the brothers eat and drink enough."

Don’t let down your guard.”

Several people looked at each other and smiled, their expressions relaxed.

At this moment, a man from the city guard ran over quickly.

"General Zhang, General Hua, General Huang, and the military advisor are here to invite you."

Zhang Fei, Hua Cun and Huang Zhong looked at each other with solemn expressions, mounted their horses and hurried towards the military camp.

After a while, the three of them arrived at Xun's tent.

Before they even entered, they saw a man from the secret guard coming out. He cupped his fists and saluted the three of them before leaving.

Zhang Fei and the other two people frowned. The secret guard suddenly sent information. It seemed that things were not simple.

When the three of them entered the tent, Xun Or was already standing next to the map to measure the distance. When he heard the footsteps of the three of them, he turned around and pointed to the futon beside him, motioning for the three of them to sit down and talk.

"As you have just seen, the secret guards sent news that there was a group of soldiers and horses from Xuzhou disguised as a caravan, transporting a large amount of grain and grass into Yangguan. The leader of this army... is him."

Xun You picked up a portrait from the shelf nearby, with basic information about the character written underneath the portrait.

What made Zhang Fei and the others frown was that this man was not one of Cao Cao's generals, but one of Tao Qian's generals.

"What a good old man Tao Qian, we came to help him kill the enemy, but he actually allowed his subordinates to collaborate with the enemy!" Zhang Fei was furious.

Huang Xu, on the other hand, looked at the man's portrait and frowned: "This man is a bandit, and may not be directly related to Tao Qian. As far as I know, although Tao Qian has many soldiers and food, these soldiers are not very obedient."

.”

"good."

Xun You looked at Huang Xu, nodded and said: "I also feel that this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Tao, and even he was kept in the dark. This Chang Xi is a capricious person, and it is not an accident to behave like this."

Things."

"However, we were ordered to defend the enemy here, but he sold grain and grass to Cao Jun so blatantly. It's really unreasonable. What do you think? Do you want to give it first..."

"Ahem, cough, cough." Huang Zhong coughed lightly before Xunhe finished speaking.

When Xun Hui came back to his senses, he saw everyone smiling at him, and he also responded.

He bowed apologetically, cupped his hands and said, "Well, please trouble the brothers of Long Xiwei to go there. I don't care about anything else. It's just that this Chang Xi must be captured and sent to Tao Gong Haosheng, so that he can find a way to restrain him."

My subordinates, so as not to break the rules."

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Military advisor, rest assured, this matter is easy."

Xuzhou, Donghai County.

Several fishermen in single clothes were carrying heavy fishing nets on the beach.

This fishing net is made of vines. It is not used for fishing, but for cultivating kelp and seaweed.

Chen Deng held a booklet and flipped through it curiously. After a long time he said: "Yes, the next step is to wrap the seedlings around and then fix them in the shallow sea next to the reef area."

Zang Ba looked at the vine nets curiously and asked, "Is this possible for mass production of seaweed?"

Chen Deng was also puzzled, but after looking at the brochure, he nodded and said, "If this is the case, Commander Wei will never fool us, so what good will this do to him?"

Zang Ba shook his head, pointed at the endless sea, and said: "If this is the case, this area is still full of wealth. For two cents per catty, this seaweed can grow hundreds of thousands of stones in a few months. Don't wait until then."

If we can’t eat it, aren’t we white anymore?”

Chen Deng didn't take it seriously, but laughed and said: "Just relax, let alone hundreds of thousands of stones, even ten times more, the Wei family can eat it. According to Wei Shijun's method, ten times more
