Chapter 658: The Monument of Merit (4000)(2/2)
Wu Liang had seen well before. This "Taiyi Temple" was indeed renovated not long ago, about five or six years ago.
But... wait!
Seeing this date, Wu Liang immediately noticed a problem.
Isn’t this the time when Ding Yuan was stationed in Wen County, Hanoi?
It was also at that time that Lu Bu suddenly transformed from an unknown "register" to a "flying general" with both civil and military skills, and has since become Ding Yuan's adopted son...
This is somewhat of a coincidence.
Wu Liang thought intently.
The tombs of the Sima family must have been moved in recent years. In addition, taking the lead in repairing the "Taiyi Temple", it may be the same time period as Lu Bu became a "Flying General" for no reason.
this……
Is there any unknown connection between these matters of the Sima family and Lu Bu?
…
We have visited Zishui, Mushui, and Taiyi Temple in sequence.
Naturally, Wu Liang no longer had the need to stay in the mountain, so he led everyone down the mountain and returned to the place where the carriage stopped.
Now he is about to face another problem where he has to make a choice:
Do you accept the Sima Family's invitation?
Now the Hu army lives in Wen County, and the Sima family has deep roots in Wen County. Now that he has noticed them and sent out an invitation inexplicably, in fact, whether he accepts the invitation or not, he must have come into the sight of the Sima family.
Although this may not necessarily be dangerous, any of their actions in the future may not be able to avoid the surveillance of the Sima Family, which will inevitably affect their actions.
The most important thing is that Wu Liang is still not sure whether there is any unknown connection between the Sima family and Lu Bu.
If it is true.
That's another story...
I don’t know if the result was a coincidence or someone from the Sima family did it deliberately.
Wu Liang and others returned the same way, and when they reached the fork in the road leading to the ancestral graves of the Sima family, they happened to meet the Sima family who had returned from worshiping their ancestors sooner or later.
"Let them go first."
Wu Liang knew that he would definitely not be able to escape by hiding, but he did not want to be too proactive, so he softly stopped the people accompanying him, stood there and took the initiative to avoid it, waiting for the people from the Sima family to pass by first.
Just when Wu Liang and others stopped, a servant came over from the opposite side and saluted Wu Liang and others: "You are polite. Are you Mr. Wu and his party from Leling, Pingyuan?"
"Exactly."
Wu Liang returned the salute.
Seeing Wu Liang recognized his identity, another young man of the same age as Wu Liang immediately came out from the Sima family, walked straight to Wu Liang, held his hands in front of Wu Liang with a smile on his face and said: "Master Wu, I'm here to greet you.
Sima Lang, the eldest son of Sima Sima in Naiwen County, just now my father intends to invite Mr. Wu to go to the house to talk about it. The servant must have informed Mr. Wu about this, but I don’t know what Mr. Wu’s intention is yet."
This is the etiquette and upbringing of the Sima family.
First, a servant was ordered to come and inquire about Wu Liang's identity. After learning Wu Liang's identity, his equal eldest son immediately came to invite him in person. This would not only make Wu Liang feel slighted, but also show the Sima family's reputation.
Sincerity.
But at the same time.
This is also putting pressure on Wu Liang.
If a mere servant comes to invite him, Wu Liang does not need to take him seriously, but if it is the eldest son of the Sima family, he will need to consider whether to offend the other party's face...
"I have met the eldest son, how can I be so virtuous as to receive such courtesy?"
Wu Liang knew that this matter would be difficult to avoid if he didn't want to fall out, so he no longer hesitated and returned the courtesy in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "The hospitality of the Sima family in Wen County is indeed well-deserved. I really can't refuse the hospitality, so I have no choice but to bother you."
In fact, Wu Liang also knew something about this Sima Lang.
After Boss Cao took over the power, he was also recruited as an official, and he directly served as Boss Cao's deputy, until he rose to become the governor of Yanzhou.
Moreover, Sima Lang is also an extremely rare good official.
During his tenure, he was an honest and frugal official, and he was also considerate of the people. He implemented many policies to benefit the people in Yanzhou and was deeply loved by the people.
