"Master Wu, please."

Seeing that Wu Liang agreed, Sima Lang's smile became even brighter and he immediately made an invitation gesture, inviting him to go with the Sima family.

"Please, eldest son."

Wu Liang also made a gesture of invitation, and then walked side by side with Sima Lang.

The rest of the Hu army and Cao Chun and others followed behind them silently.

Especially Cao Chun, who was walking almost close to Wu Liang's side and behind him, with one hand secretly holding the weapon.

To prevent the Sima family from any conspiracy.

He is indeed worthy of being a qualified guard, at least as dedicated as Dian Wei.

However, Wu Liang also knew that he was actually just carrying out Boss Cao's orders. Even if he had a little disagreement with Wu Liang before, he would still insist on completing his tasks without being affected by personal emotional factors at all.

In this way, we came to the side of the Sima family.

Wu Liang had noticed the middle-aged man who was the leader in the crowd early in the morning. He knew the identity of this man without having to guess.

He must be Sima Fang, the current head of the Sima family.

And behind Sima Fang.

Then there are seven young men standing in the position of stars holding the moon.

The big one looks similar to Sima Lang who just went to invite Wu Liang in person.

The younger one is probably only about ten years old and should be classified as a child.

But even those children who seemed to be still young looked submissive at the moment, not at all as carefree as ordinary children.

This is the tutor of the Sima family.

This matter has been recorded in history books. Sima Fang's discipline of these heirs was even so strict that even after they reached adulthood, they still had to "Don't dare to enter if you don't have orders, don't dare to sit if you don't have orders, don't point out."

The level of "I don't dare to say anything when I ask" has a bit of a militarized family management feel.

At this moment, I saw Wu Liang and others coming.

In addition to the seven young men who were all looking at Wu Liang, Sima Fang also took the initiative to show a smile on his majestic face with deep legal patterns to express his welcome to him.

"I have met Senior Sima. When I passed through Wen County, I was not only impressed by the reputation of the Sima clan, but also often heard people talking about Senior's fairness and uprightness. It's a pity that I knew my status was low and didn't dare to go to visit him. I didn't expect that I would be harassed by Senior now.

So favored,

This younger generation is really flattered."

Wu Liang didn't hesitate. As soon as he got closer, he took the initiative and gave Sima Fangduan a formal junior salute, bowing his eyebrows and bowing politely.

"Where are you talking? Now we are in troubled times. It is very difficult to protect one's body. There is no prestige. The Sima family has only not been greatly implicated for the time being. I don't know what it will be like tomorrow.

.”

Sima Fang smiled, waved his hand modestly, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Wu came from Leling, Pingyuan, but what happened to his family?"

"Not really..."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang suddenly looked like he was hesitant to speak, and finally lowered his voice and said, "...Senior, I don't know something, just because Leling is located at the intersection of Yanzhou and Jizhou, and the closer

At that time, the alliance leader Yuan of Jizhou and the governor Cao of Yanzhou were at war with each other. If the two sides started to attack, Leling would be the first to bear the brunt.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the younger generation had to choose to leave their hometown."

"Well... I have heard a little bit about this.

I also saw the message issued by Alliance Leader Yuan a few days ago."

Sima Fang nodded slightly, as if he had accepted Wu Liang's words.

"That's it. There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overthrown. If the war between Leader Yuan and Governor Cao really begins, the younger generation will definitely be affected if they stay in Leling, so the best option is to take action."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.

"Master Wu is also a handsome man who is good at judging the situation."

Sima Fang smiled calmly, and then said, "This is not the place to talk. If Mr. Wu doesn't mind, he will follow me back home first. I will order someone to prepare a meal and drink to wash away the dust of Mr. Wu and his party. Then I can speak freely."

"Originally, the etiquette of visiting a house is indispensable. Unfortunately, I am out of town now, and there is really no gift I can give to repay the kindness of my senior. Please don't take it to heart if you are so rude. I have already suffered from my senior.

Hospitality, this kindness will be remembered in my heart, and it will be repaid in the future."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said politely.

"No need to be polite, please."

Sima Fang also smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and temporarily stopped the conversation.

"Thank you, senior..."

It was hard for Wu Liang to say anything.

Originally, he wanted to extract some useful information from Sima Fang here, especially Sima Fang's intention to invite him to his house this time.

It's a pity that Sima Fang always kept his words secret and didn't give him any chance at all.

In this case, naturally we can only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, with Cao Chun and Hubao Cavalry guarding him, and Yanshi and Boss Cao's army suppressing the formation, he felt somewhat confident and was not too worried about the Sima family doing anything bad to him.

Walking like this behind the Sima family.

Wu Liang was still secretly observing them, especially Sima Fang's eight sons.

He wanted to identify "Sima Yi" among these eight sons in advance, but unfortunately, besides Sima Lang, who had just spoken to him, there were three other people who seemed to be about the same age, and the difference in appearance was not too big.

It's really hard to tell the difference.

in addition.

The people of the Sima family, especially the men, have another common characteristic, that is, they are tall.

Sima Fang himself was nearly 1.8 meters tall. This was definitely considered a tall man in this era, and he felt quite oppressive when standing in front of ordinary people.

As for his eight sons, except for the young children, the remaining ones are adults or close to adulthood. Each one of them is also tall and strong. Compared with Boss Cao's family, their genes are indeed better.

After all, Boss Cao himself is not very tall.

And his eldest son Cao Ang is only 1.65 meters tall now. He will probably not grow any longer at this age. He will definitely lower his head when standing in front of the Sima family.

But in fact, this is not considered short. At least in the late Han Dynasty, this height was actually above the average standard.

at the same time.

Wu Liang once again felt the rules of the Sima family.

Among the Sima family, in addition to "Sima Bada", there were also some female relatives who were traveling with them, followed by the guards and domestic servants.

As these people walked, no one whispered to each other, and every step they took seemed to have to pay attention to their identity and position. From high to low, from big to small, from male to female, no one changed easily.

Position, even if someone accidentally walks a little faster, they will immediately slow down and wait.

Looking back at the people of the Hu army, they are much more casual than them. It can even be said that there are no rules at all. There is no distinction between high and low, senior and young. They can go wherever they want...

…

This went all the way to Sima Mansion.

Wu Liang never identified who Sima Yilai was, but based on the historical information he knew, he locked him in a range of only three people.

Just like that, we entered the house.

Guli

Wu Liang and others were taken to the living room first, while the Sima family only left Sima Lang to accompany them in the living room, and the rest went to their own places. It seemed that they were all preparing to entertain Wu Liang.

certainly.

Not everyone in Wu Liang's group was brought into the living room together.

That is to say, the backbone of the Hu army and the guard Cao Chun, who were suspected to be members of Wu Liang's family, stayed. The remaining soldiers of the Hu army and the tiger and leopard cavalry were apparently Wu Liang's servants. Even the Sima family would definitely entertain them.

They, they are not qualified to participate in the upcoming family banquet.

"Mr. Wu, everyone, please moisten your throat with some tea first. On the way back just now, I sent someone back to prepare food and drinks. I'm going to see how the preparations are going. I'll be back later."

After inviting Wu Liang and others to take their seats, Sima Lang raised his hands to Wu Liang and said.

"Easy to say, please."

Wu Liang was eager to let him go, so he returned the favor with a smile.

"Then I'll go."

Sima Lang smiled, turned and left.

At this moment, everyone in the Hu army felt a little more comfortable. Then Zhuge Liang stood up and walked to Wu Liang. He whispered with some confusion: "Brother Youcai, I don't know what the Sima family's purpose is in inviting us to their house."

, but they have been so polite and kind before, which makes me wonder if they have something to ask of you."

"But no one in the Sima family has ever met the young master before, let alone what his abilities are. It would be difficult to establish a request for something, right?"

Yang Wanli asked confused.
