Cai Mao waved his hand and ordered: "Cai Chi, come forward."

After the words came, a gentle and pale boy walked out. The boy was dressed in gorgeous clothes and black boots. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, his eyes were calm and steady, and his behavior was polite.

Wang Lei looked at the boy in front of him and couldn't help but nod and praise him.

He is worthy of being a disciple of a large clan and has an extraordinary demeanor. At the age of eleven or twelve, he should have become lively, and Cai Chi in front of him is like an adult. Even though his cheeks are so nasty and his mind is not mature yet, it is not easy for the Cai family to teach him like this.

Of course, Wang Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If you want to be what you see, this child had no childhood when he was a child, he would definitely deal with poetry, books, classics and meanings. Especially Cai Chi's face was pale, lack of qi and blood, and his steps were weak, which was obviously because of lack of exercise.

If you exercise more, you won’t be like this.

Cai Mao glanced coldly at Cai Chi, his eyes turned to Wang Lei, and introduced: "Chi'er is my eldest son, and he won't be successful in martial arts. Master Wang is very skilled in martial arts, proficient in calligraphy and poetry, and is better at marching and fighting. If Chi'er is lucky enough to follow Master Wang and learn a little bit of a claw, it will be enough to enjoy the rest of his life. Please accept this incompetent disciple and let him learn something."

"Disciple, please pay homage to the teacher!"

With a plop, Cai Chi knelt in front of Wang Lei.

Wang Lei could see clearly that when Cai Chi knelt down, crystal tears were clearly flashing in his eyes. However, Cai Chi had already knelt on the ground, and it was difficult to confirm again.

Wang Lei glanced at Cai Mao and his mouth twitched.

During the day, he went to Lumen Mountain to visit Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan, which made the three of them feel a short hand when they were eating people's mouths. In a blink of an eye, this matter fell on him again.

It is not so easy to refuse after taking the Cai family's Longyuan Sword.

Once you refuse, you will inevitably offend the Cai family.

Moreover, the Cai family took the initiative to show their favor, and Wang Lei could not offend the Cai family out of thin air.

Wang Lei roughly understands the Cai family's thoughts.

The Cai family chose to rely on Liu Biao in Jingzhou. For a certain period of time, the Cai family's status was as stable as Mount Tai, but no one could explain the future. The Cai family threw Cai Chi to Wang Lei and had contact with Wang Lei. If there was a problem with the Cai family in Jingzhou in the future, Cai Chi, who was following Wang Lei, would be another branch of the Cai family, ensuring that the Cai family was immortal.

This is true for the big family.

Historically, the Cai family was loyal to Liu Biao, but the Cai family had long been in contact with Cao Cao. When Cai Mao was young, he was even more good friends with Cao Cao.

"The Records of Elders in Xiangyang" records: Cai Mao, whose courtesy name is De, was from Xiangyang, and his personality was arrogant and proud, and he was close to Cao Cao at a young age.

After Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou, he came to Cai’s mansion and went straight to the backyard to look for Cai Mao. After seeing him, he remembered the past situation, which showed that the relationship between the two parties was extraordinary.

When a big family is standing in the world, it must have a complicated relationship to ensure that the family stands firm.

"Disciple, please pay homage to the teacher!"

Cai Chi was afraid that Wang Lei would refuse and kowtowed again.

Wang Lei took a deep breath and waved his hand and said, "Get up, you can follow me."

"Disciple obeys the order!"

Cai Chi was delighted, stepped down respectfully, and sat down at the last seat of the hall.

After solving Cai Chi's affairs, Cai Mao was happy and talked with Wang Lei even more enthusiastic. Next, Cai Feng ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and wine, meat and dishes were served and placed on the desk in front of him.

After the banquet, Wang Lei offered to say goodbye.

Cai Mao personally sent Wang Lei away, and Cai Chi followed Wang Lei and brought clothes and other items.

Wang Lei did not object to this.

When I returned to the inn, it was already late at night. Wang Lei arranged Cai Chi's residence, washed up, and changed into clean and refreshing clothes before someone called Cai Chi.

In the room, Cai Chi bowed and knelt down and said, "Disciple, pay homage to the teacher!"

Wang Lei said softly, "Don't be restrained in front of me. I promise to be your teacher and I will not let go. As long as you are willing to study, I will do my best to make you successful in your studies."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Cai Chi suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

Wang Lei said, "Sit up straight, don't be restrained." After a pause, Wang Lei said, "When you kneel down to me today, tears clearly flashed in your eyes. Could it be that you are reluctant to worship me as your teacher?" Wang Lei remembered clearly in the situation in the Cai Mansion. Although it was a moment, Wang Lei remembered it in his heart.

Cai Chi straightened his body and lowered his head and said, "Report to the teacher, the disciple is not reluctant, but excited."

Wang Lei asked: "What does this mean?"

Cai Chi replied: "Report to the teacher, my disciple's mother is the maid in the mansion. Once my father got drunk, my mother became pregnant with me. Although I am my father's eldest son, I am not a legitimate son. Even if I have the care of my grandfather, I am not taken seriously. I am insulted by my legitimate mother, and even laughed at by my brothers and sisters in the mansion. Today, when I met the teacher, my disciple was taken out of the cage and was excited."

When he spoke, a hint of hatred appeared in Cai Chi's eyes, which was his anger towards Cai Mao and his hatred towards the Cai family.

Wang Lei sighed lightly, this is the big family!

I thought Cai Chi was weak and was negligent in training, but now it seems that it is not that simple. Wang Lei thought about it and said, since the person in front of him was his first disciple, he could not be treated casually, and said, "You are under my disciple. Your business is mine. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to Cai's mansion to take your mother over, live with you, and then leave with me."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Cai Chi lowered his head, choked in a low voice, with deep gratitude in his eyes.

Wang Lei frowned and scolded, "A real man, shed blood but not tears. Put away your tears. What happened in the Cai Mansion has become the past. In the future, you must study hard and live up to your parents' expectations."

Cai Chi said again: "Thank you, teacher..." At this point, Cai Chi pursed her lips and said intermittently: "My mother has passed away, so it is impossible to leave with me."

Wang Lei sighed lightly, walked to Cai Chi and patted Cai Chi on the shoulder.

After Cai Chi calmed down, Wang Lei ordered: "Xiangyang and his party are over. I will set off for Qua early tomorrow morning. Let's go and rest, and leave with me tomorrow."

"yes!"

Cai Chi stood up respectfully and left the room.

The door closed, and Wang Lei shook his head and chuckled.

Cai Mao sent a son who was not valued. Is it the right way? Or is it wrong? Perhaps, Cai Mao just wanted to get in touch with Wang Lei and gave a concubine who was not favored.

...

The next morning, it was just dawn and Wang Lei had finished his morning exercise.

After washing up, after breakfast, Wang Lei went to the provincial governor's office to visit Liu Biao and bid farewell to Liu Biao. Wang Lei's purpose of coming to Xiangyang has been achieved, and it is impossible to delay any further time.

Liu Biao brought the officials to see him off in person.

After seeing Wang Lei away, Liu Biao brought his men back to the city.

In the carriage that the Kuai brothers were riding, Kuai Yue sat upright and said with a serious expression: "Brother, Cai Mao sent his eldest son Cai Chi to Wang Lei and took Wang Lei as his teacher. This move is amazing."

Kuai Liang nodded and said, "The Cai family took out the Longyuan Sword. This is not a small trick, we can't compare to it."

Kuai Yue said: "No matter what, the Cai family has the advantage."

Kuai Liang smiled and said disdainfully: "Who said he had the advantage? It's still a long time, and we have opportunities. After Wang Lei's bride is over, he will go north to Xiangyang. It will not be too late to make friends with Wang Lei."

Kuai Yue sighed lightly: "That's all!"

The carriage returned to calm again, leaving only the sound of wheels rotating.
