    Qin'er checked into the post house, while Zhao and his party stayed at Xiangyun Tower, the most magnificent building in Xiangyang.  Five warriors in yellow were crowded into two rooms, but Zhang Wei was treated at a higher level. Like Manager Zhao, he had a separate room, and every meal was served with wine and meat. This was really different from the previous situation.  Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh, no matter what era, people can never change such snobbish habits. Maybe this is human nature, or maybe it is the result of natural selection of survival of the fittest. In any case, only a few people will trouble themselves to find this  The answer to the question.  As the unitary hour was approaching, Zhao Yudan slowly boarded a sedan and set off for Cai Mao's Mansion. Naturally, Manager Zhao and the warriors in yellow were accompanying him this time. Zhang Wei, as an invited guest, rode with Zhao Yudan.  The inn is very close to Cai Mansion, and it only took a stick of incense to walk. When everyone arrived, they were a quarter of an hour away from Youshi.  When the steward at the door saw Zhang Wei coming, the waiter ran over and quickly put down his hand, took Zhang Wei's horse aside, and helped Zhang Wei dismount. He was very attentive.  Since Zhang Wei traveled to ancient times, this was the first time he had enjoyed such VIP treatment, and he couldn't help but feel excited.  Under the guidance of steward Cai Fu, Zhang Wei walked into the banquet hall and sat on the third seat on the right. The main seat was vacant. Cai Hao was sitting on the first seat on the right. Seeing Zhang Wei coming, he got up and left.  He came over and said, "It's really a great honor for me that Zhang Yingxiong can come to the banquet!" Zhang Wei quickly resigned and said, "General Cai's name is well known to me. It's really an honor for me to be able to sit at the same table and drink with the general today!"  " Cai Mao said with a smile: "Easy to talk about! It has been a few days since the last hasty farewell at Zhao's camp. These days, Cai Mou always thinks of Zhang Yingxiong's heroic appearance in defeating Kuai Shao, which always makes me unable to sleep at night, just hoping that he can  We are lucky enough to meet such a hero. Now that we are here together, we will definitely not get drunk tonight." Everyone saw Cai Mao bending over to chat with a strange young man, and treating him like a distinguished guest. They couldn't help but wonder where this young man came from.  How could he have such a great reputation that the arrogant Cai Hao could treat him with all his heart.  Zhang Wei saw that Cai Mao had a high position but no pretensions. He couldn't help but feel good about him and said, "General Cai is so polite. I really don't dare to be a hero. If you don't give up, you can just call me Zhang Wei!" Cai Mao said!  : "He is indeed a good man, and he talks quickly. From now on, you and I will be like brothers. I'll call you Brother Zhang Xian, and you will call me Brother Cai. How about that?"  Cai Mao said with a smile: "Good brother! When Mr. Zhou Mu comes, I will definitely find an official position for the hero so that the hero can be useful. Haha!" Zhang Wei has no intention of serving as an official in Jingzhou, but just now  We got along very well while chatting with Cai Mao, but he couldn't bear to reject this kind offer, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I'll help you, brother!" The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, but these words were heard by Zhao Yudan who was standing beside him.  , a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.  While everyone was chatting, the steward shouted: "Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao is here!" Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him. Liu Biao, dressed in light green clothes, slowly walked into the lobby and said with a smile: "No need to be formal, everyone."  "This is a banquet hosted by General Cai, I'm just here to have some wine!" These words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and lively.  After everyone was seated, a group of servants and maids came in from outside the lobby. Each of them held a variety of wine and food in their hands and placed them in front of everyone's tables. The maid behind Zhang Wei hurriedly came over to pour wine for Zhang Wei. It can be seen that Cai Mansion  The servants above and below are well trained.  Cai Mao clapped his hands gently and said: "Today's banquet for me, Mr. Cai, is mainly to clean up the dust for the wealthy businessman of the Zhao family. There is no need to be formal. There is enough wine and meat. I would like to toast you all to this glass of wine!" Everyone hurriedly picked up the wine cups and took a sip.  And done.  Zhang Wei smelled the aroma of the wine, and when he drank it, the smell lingered in his mouth, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh at the good wine.  Suddenly the drums and harp sounded, and a group of singers dressed in costumes, like fairies descending to earth, danced in the field.  The oiran in the field is wearing a translucent pink gauze dress. Her beautiful figure is looming as she dances. Her appearance is also outstanding, especially her red lips. She dances and sings at the same time, making people can't help but imagine the feeling of a kiss.  .  Zhang Wei looked at the dance of the oiran and unknowingly thought of Ling Long dancing the sword, Yun'er who had no news, and Qin'er with outstanding temperament. He was upset.  Seeing that Zhang Wei was fascinated, Cai Hao hurriedly called Cai Fu to whisper, then raised his wine glass and toasted Zhang Wei frequently. After the dance, Zhang Wei was already drunk, and he was too busy to drink, so he only drank a few glasses of wine.  I felt my face was hot and my head was a little dizzy.  Cai Mao drank a lot. He raised his glass again and said to Liu Biao: "General, I'd like to toast Zhou Mu!" Liu Biao said: "General Cai has already toasted many times just now. I don't know what to say about the toast at this time?" Cai Mao said: "  This glass of wine is not for me, but for Lord Jingzhou Mu to get a talented general, and it is a coincidence that the general will get to know him!?Hero Zhang Wei, this man is unparalleled in bravery and can be a great general!  Liu Biao mused: "It's rare to see General Cai praise someone. The person who can attract General Cai must not be a common man!"  There is still a vacancy for the position of school guard in Dongcheng, why not let him take this position first!  "Being a city gate captain is a lucrative job. Not only does he have real power, but he can easily get a lot of benefits. Especially Xiangyang City is a transportation hub and a must-stop place for caravans traveling south to north. Liu Biao can  This position was given to someone he had never met, which showed that Cai Hao had been given enough face. Everyone was about to congratulate him, but Cai Hao smiled and said, "If Mr. Zhou Mu gives this position to someone recommended by the last general,  I'm afraid it's overkill and burying talents. I hope you will think twice!  "As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned. Cai Mao actually openly rejected Liu Biao. Some people couldn't help but sweat, and even more people were watching the excitement and just wanted to see how the two of them would end up. Liu Biao's displeasure flashed  He passed away and said flatly: "Does General Cai have a suitable position in mind? Why not tell him!  " Cai Mao said word for word: "The general thinks that with this person's ability, he should be appointed as the guard of Xiangyang City!  "As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Zhao Yudan was even more shocked. Even Zhang Wei was surprised - although he and Cai Mao got along very well, Cai Mao actually recommended him to be the city guard.  Such an important position made Zhang Wei, who had never worked in ancient times, feel at a loss. Liu Biao said: "General Cai is indeed a good suggestion, but it needs to be prestigious as a city guard. Although the person recommended by General Cai.  He has great qualities, but his qualifications are still low, so he may not be able to convince the public. If I choose a day to invite the emperor to report him and be canonized by the emperor, he will definitely shine on the family lintel, and at the same time, it will also make the little people dare not make false claims!  how?  "He didn't wait for Cai Mao's answer and continued: "The artists in General Cai's house really opened my eyes. I wonder if there will be more exciting performances in a while?  " Cai Mao knew that Liu Biao didn't want to talk anymore, so he didn't dare to push too hard. He took advantage of the situation and said, "Of course there is, come and ask the oiran to dance again!  " Everyone was eager to see the appearance of the oiran again, and couldn't help but cheer, and the atmosphere at the scene became lively again. The oiran danced gracefully in the field, dancing to the left seat and then to the right seat, like a butterfly fairy,  It was so dizzying that some people were so stunned that they didn't even notice that the wine in the wine cup in their hands was spilled on the table. When the dance ended, the oiran just danced to Zhang Wei's table and took a seat.  Standing next to Zhang Wei, he said in a cooing voice: "I'm so thirsty from dancing, I hope you can give me a glass of wine!"  Zhang Wei hurriedly picked up the wine cup and said to the oiran: "Girl, please drink!"  "The oiran held the wine cup as Zhang Wei did, drank it all in one gulp along the position where he was drinking, then returned the wine cup with his own lip marks to Zhang Wei, smiled brightly, and left the scene. "This scene,  It only made the other wealthy children in the field both envious and jealous, and Zhang Wei was the candidate for the city guard, but they didn't dare to offend him. At this time, Zhao Yudan was really conflicted when he saw everyone's dejected look, and said calmly: "Cai.  I was really flattered by the general's acceptance of the Zhao family. Now there are so many wonderful performances, which really opened my eyes. I also prepared some superficial performances. I also hope that Mr. Zhou Mu, General Cai and everyone present  Comments from all the talented people!  "Having said that, he raised his beautiful hand and the two pretty girls walked up to the stage in unison. Everyone couldn't help but admire them. These two women couldn't help but have beautiful looks and good figures. What's even more rare is that they are so open.  They are exactly the same, even the beauty mark on the corner of the mouth is the same, just like they walked out of the mirror. The two of them bowed down to say hello, and then one played the piano and the other played the flute. The melody was like the sound of nature, which made people yearn for it.  , as if I saw the blue sky and white clouds, the horses galloping on the grassland, and the warriors fighting for their lives on the battlefield. The sound of the piano and flute suddenly interrupted in the excitement, and I saw the two women pulling out the swords from their waists and leaping forward suddenly.  One step forward!
