When the Lin Mansion received the news that Wei Liao had died of illness, Lin Ze couldn't help being shocked, but then he regained his composure. He had already guessed the general outcome when Hu Hai told him that Wei Liao had been unwell recently.
Now, except for the Supreme Being, I am afraid that no one can do this "let nature take its course". As for whether he can silence everyone in Youyou, that is not something Lin Ze needs to worry about. He is currently analyzing Shuzhong
This situation made preparations for Hu Hai to take control of Shuzhong.
Including asking Lu Pheasant to arrange for people to open the trade route between Shuzhong and Chang'an, and asking Chen Ping to arrange people to build a Jinyiwei stronghold in the middle of Shu to collect information for future needs.
As soon as Lin Ze finished explaining the matter, a waiter came in and reported: "To the military advisor, someone just sent an invitation to invite you to the mansion for a banquet tomorrow."
Who would invite me to the banquet? Lin Ze expressed doubts, took the invitation and opened it, and the signature on it was: Wang Jian, Marquis of Wucheng.
Lin Ze was even more confused now. Why was Wang Jian looking for him for no reason? If he had some grievances with Wang Li before, but after so long, it made no sense for him to get angry now!
Or maybe he knows that his time is short and wants to eliminate a disaster for his descendants? That's not right. So far, he has not shown too much cruelty. There is no need for Wang Jian to let the Wang family offend Hu Hai because of himself.
Just as Lin Ze's thoughts were wandering, the waiter added: "I almost forgot to tell the military advisor that the person who sent the invitation called himself Wang Li and said he was an old friend of the military advisor. I hope the military advisor will come to the banquet."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ze's first reaction was that Wang Li had falsely conveyed his grandfather's "instructions" in order to trick him into framing him. After all, he had learned from this experience before.
After much thought, Lin Ze couldn't decide whether it was true or not, so he thought of a little plan and said to the waiter: "You reply a greeting note for me and say that my military advisor will definitely go to the banquet tomorrow and be sure to send the greeting note to Wu."
In the hands of Marquis Cheng."
If it is true that Wang Li sent the invitation without telling Wang Jian, then Wang Jian will definitely send someone to verify the matter when he sees his reply. In this way, it will be clear at a glance whether it is true or false.
The waiter bowed and replied: "I will take care of it now."
…
Half an hour later, the waiter came back and reported back to Lin Ze: "Marquis Wu Cheng received the reply and asked his subordinates to tell the military advisor not to be suspicious and just go to the banquet with peace of mind."
Lin Ze nodded to show that he already knew, waved his hand to ask the waiter to leave, and couldn't help but wonder, what was the purpose of Wang Jian's move?
For people like Wang Jian, Lin Ze's impression was still stuck on words such as "God of War" and "Evil". A few years ago, he had a little contact with it, but he only had the impression of an old fox. After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Ze also
I didn't want to figure it out, so I just made a simple plan and planned to meet face to face tomorrow to see what happened.
…
Lin Ze got up early the next morning, finished his morning classes, washed up briefly, and put on a formal black robe. At a glance, he could tell that he was from an official family.
Before going out, Lin Ze specially said hello to Hu Hai and told him to go to Wang Jian's banquet. If he didn't come back, remember to take someone to Wuchenghou Mansion to rescue others.
Finally, he took the carriage and went to Wuchenghou Mansion.
When he arrived at the gate of Wuchenghou Mansion, a waiter handed Lin Ze an invitation, indicating that he was here for a banquet.
When the door of Marquis Wucheng's mansion was opened, he saw that they were the guests at the banquet hosted by his Marquis. He did not dare to neglect them, so he asked Lin Ze to wait while he went to inform the master of the mansion.
It was not because the disciples refused to open the door for Lin Ze and left him alone at the door, but because the Marquis was a guest at a banquet and he was not qualified to welcome him into the house.
Soon a heroic young man came out of Marquis Wucheng's house. While calling for someone to open the side door, he made an invitation gesture and said to Lin Ze: "Brother Lin, please come in. My grandfather is inconvenient, so Brother Yu will greet you. Please don't ask, Brother Lin."
Sorry."
Hearing this, Lin Ze laughed and said: "Brother Wang Li flatters me too much. With my status, how dare I bother the Marquis to come and greet me? Even if Brother Wang Li comes to greet me, I am flattered and some don't dare to accept it."
Wang Li smiled calmly: "Brother Lin is a hero among people, and he is valued by his grandfather. He is worthy of being welcomed by Brother Yu. Brother Lin, please go in first. Don't keep my grandfather waiting too long. Please."
Lin Ze clearly felt that Wang Li's attitude was very different from before, and he was more sure that Wang Jian was the one who invited him to the banquet, so he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Wang Li, please."
Wang Li was not polite and walked in front to lead the way, leading Lin Ze all the way to the central hall.
A silver-haired and energetic Wang Jian was seen standing at the door, smiling as he watched Lin Ze walk over.
Lin Ze hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed deeply and saluted: "My dear Lin Ze, I pay my respects to Lord Wu Chenghou."
Wang Jian laughed loudly and said in a loud voice: "Young man, please don't be too polite. Just follow me and take a seat."
Lin Ze didn't insist, straightened up, followed Wang Jian into the living room, and sat down in order.
Upon seeing this, Wang Li wisely ordered his servants to bring fruits, snacks and tea.
After Lin Ze sat down, Wang Jian looked Lin Ze carefully up and down, and couldn't help but admired: "When your father entered Chang'an, everyone said that he had unparalleled qualifications and was expected to be a master. Even the Wu'an Lord's Mansion was interested.
Marry your noble daughter. When I saw you today, I suddenly realized that your qualifications are even more monstrous in comparison."
Lin Ze just smiled indifferently: "My lord, I have given you the reward. I am just a person who has accumulated a lot of resources. Compared with the geniuses in the world, it is not worth mentioning."
Wang Jian followed with a chuckle: "Young man is too modest. I am not blind yet. I need to use more resources. But from the aura emanating from your body, I can infer that the foundation of martial arts is extremely strong. If the world
A warrior can reach your level by relying on resources alone, but a mid-level warrior will not be so valuable."
Lin Ze just smiled very reservedly: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, I'm just lucky." No matter how much you praise, you can't be proud and passionate.
Wang Jian just smiled and stopped talking. With his status, it was very rare for him to praise a young man twice. No matter how talented Lin Ze was, he was just a junior to him. Will he be able to advance in the future?
It's hard to say that he is a Grandmaster, not to mention that he himself is an eighth-grade Divine Soul Realm master. Even if he is in the Grandmaster Realm, he may not be able to jump too much in front of him.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into stagnation.
As a junior and a guest, Lin Ze naturally couldn't be too rude, so he took the initiative and said: "I wonder why the Marquis called this boy here this time?"
Wang Jian waved his hand and dismissed the servants, leaving only Wang Li present. He slowly said, "I want to entrust the Wang family to your care. What do you think?"
