Although he was hit by Tai Shici, Ge Zhen did not change his original intention in the end, and planned to defect to Shang Ji after participating in the world's first martial arts conference, even if he didn't win the championship, it was much better to get the top ten than to go directly to the current abrupt one.

Tai Shici was not reluctant, and continued to fight with him, and later even developed to introduce Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others to him, and everyone competed with each other.

Shang Ji also received the news, saying that Tai Shi Ci had a childhood friend, and his strength was recognized by several top generals, and he planned to defect after the world's first martial arts conference.

For this kind of thing, Shang Ji is naturally happy to see it happen. A top martial artist who has won a brilliant ranking in the martial arts conference is in public, and the influence and demonstration brought by it are far greater than that of a top military general himself.

Shang Ji even signaled to arrange the best treatment for Ge Zhen and settle in the Martial God Pavilion, with unlimited access to the Chiyou Cave, and three times the supply of spiritual rice according to normal specifications.

At the same time that Tai Shici helped Ge Zhen plan a good ranking, time passed quietly. The day of Shangji's wedding is getting closer and closer, and the city of Xiangping is beginning to be filled with a festive atmosphere.

The people's hearts in Pingzhou, especially in Liaodong, are still very good. Since he took office, he has attacked the people from outside and helped the people from within, and the life of the people of Liaodong has suddenly been much better. The reputation of the Liu family in Xiangping is even higher than that of Shangji, and she manages the Tzu Chi Hospital, Nursery Home and other charities in the city, and often provides free medical treatment in the city in her spare time. And because of her status as a woman, she is naturally closer to the people than a martial artist like Shang Ji.

As the wedding date of the two gradually approached, many people spontaneously celebrated and blessed the two. Of course, the official is even more fanfare, looking forward to the big wedding as an opportunity to show a brand-new, energetic, and potential Pingzhou in front of the world. In order to change the bad impression of the bitter cold land and barren land in Liaodong, and attract more talents!

"Brother Xuande, you see that this Xiangping is really good, much better than I expected!"

A short man with a little black fat and a man with surprisingly large ears rode on a horse, and the two walked side by side, and the black short and fat man whispered.

There are more than a dozen people behind each of them, and there are also some generals who know their extraordinary strength by looking at their appearances.

"Brother Meng De's words are good, Xiangping is indeed far better than in the past under the governance of General Shang, the people in this city are ruddy and energetic, far beyond the mainland!"

These two people are none other than Liu Bei, the county guard of Taishan, and Cao Cao, the guard of Chen Liujun!

Both of them served in Yanzhou, but there was no border, and it was not a period of great chaos for the princes to annex the world, so the relationship between Cao and Liu was not bad.

Both of them received invitations from Shang Ji, and Liu Bei's first appearance was under Shang Ji, strictly speaking, he was still Shang Ji's old subordinates. The relationship has always been good before, and I have to congratulate myself in person.

In addition, Guan Zhang's second general is also very interested in the world's first martial arts conference, so the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang are all here this time!

And Cao Cao didn't know what to think, and he came to Liaodong to congratulate him in person, accompanied not only by the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, but also by Xu Zhu, a top military general under Cao Cao's command!

Hearing that the two were discussing Pingzhou, the Pingzhou official in charge of answering the question looked proud, and arched his hand and said: "The two princes don't know, since the independent duke settled in Liaodong, none of the Hulu have just crossed the border, and the people live in peace. At the same time, the illegal rectification of officials was investigated, and the grievances of the people were revealed. He also loved the people like children, repeatedly reduced taxes, and vigorously built medical centers, private schools and other facilities, and hundreds of millions of people in Pingzhou were favored by him. Now that the lord is married, the people are rejoicing, and the city is celebrating to repay the lord's grace! ”

Liu Bei and Cao Cao glanced at each other, and then looked at the happy people of Xiangping on both sides, their faces were a little gloomy.

Liu Bei lifted his spirits and said to the officials who greeted him: "Brother Meng De and I have been tired of traveling and horses, and I want to rest early, so I will help guide the way!" ”

"Oh! It is negligence, and please forgive the two of you, and please come with the little officials, Xiangping has prepared a first-class guest room to entertain your guests! ”

The little official pleaded guilty again and again, and took Cao Liu and dozens of guards to the State Guest House in the inner city.

Of course, Cao and Liu couldn't just take a few dozen guards and run away to Xiangping. The two men each brought two thousand guards. However, of course, these guards could not be placed in Xiangping City, and they were still temporarily stationed outside Xiangping City. Only a few personal guards and high-ranking generals entered the city with the two.

At the door of the guest house, a man dressed as a scribe stood there expressionlessly, and behind him was a man dressed as a military general, but the man's slightly hunched waist looked more like a servant.

The most amazing thing is that standing at the front of the two is a little girl who is only about four years old.

At this time, the little girl was holding a rattle in her left hand and a string of sugar gourds in her right hand, and she was still chewing in her mouth.

Opposite the little girl was a staff member of the State Guest House, who was looking at the scribe with a smile on his face.

"This gentleman, if you dare to have a big name, you can have an invitation"

This slightly strange combination attracted the attention of many passers-by, who probed to see how things were unfolding.

When the scribe heard what the little official said, his face suddenly darkened again, and his eyes were slightly staggered, avoiding looking at the little official.

However, the military general behind him stepped forward and arched his hand to the little official: "The noble official misunderstood, which noble girl in front of the guest is, and we are ...... It is an accompaniment! ”

The general's face was also a little strange when he spoke, and he even bared his teeth unconsciously.

The little official looked at the two of them in surprise, and finally shifted his gaze to the little girl eating sugar gourd.

After hesitating for a moment, the little official still bowed deeply and said: "Dare to ask the noble girl, there is an invitation"

"Ahh......h

"Rong Luoluo!"

The scribe let out a low roar with black lines on his face, which frightened the little girl's hands and the sugar gourd with two hawthorns left fell to the ground.

The little girl looked at the sugar gourd on the ground with infinite regret, turned around aggrievedly, and looked at the scribe fixedly, with mist gathering in her big eyes.

The scribe took a breath with a headache, looked at the crowd that was accumulating more and more, and said with a twitching face: "Wait, I'll buy you five strings of sugar gourds!" ”

The little official smiled secretly in his heart, and arched his hand to the little girl who was not yet high in the crooked legs: "Don't worry, your noble, there is no limit to the supply of sugar gourds in the guest house!" ”

The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she took out the pocket of her flower coat again and again, and then took out an invitation card from Zou Baba.

"Now, an invitation from Uncle Luoluo!"

After speaking, the little girl asked very seriously: "There are really endless sugar gourds."

"Yes! There are many things that are better than sugar gourds! ”

The little official couldn't bear to laugh, gritted his teeth and said. At the same time, he bent down and accepted the invitation that appeared to be waste paper.

The moment he opened the invitation, the little official was taken aback, and it was written:

"Respectfully presented to my best friend, Yu has been lonely for nearly 30 years, and I am fortunate to meet the best match for Liu's .................."

The little official didn't have time to read the content, so he jumped directly to the end, only to see that the word Shang Ji was simply written at the checkout office, and there was also Shang Ji's private seal.

Shang Ji got married, and a total of more than 2,000 invitations were issued. The list of invitations was jointly determined by Deng Yan and Xun Yu, and none of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in China, domestic celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and hermits were spared. Of course, more than 90 percent of them don't know or even hear of them.

However, Shang Ji's marriage has become a political event, so naturally it can't be caused by his temperament.

Most of the more than 2,000 invitations were written by Pingzhou's officials, and only more than 50 heavyweight guests, such as Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Ding Yuan, etc., were written by Deng Yan and others.

Finally, there are more than a dozen invitations written by Shang Ji himself, mainly princes who have a close relationship with Shang Ji, such as Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Lu Zhi, etc.

The status of these three grades of guests is naturally different, and for Pingzhou people, the third category is obviously the most noble. And the weird combination in front of him is holding a handwritten invitation from Shang Ji.

Carefully put away Zou Baba's invitation, the little official's attitude was even kinder, and he made a gesture of invitation to Rong Luoluo, and said loudly: "There is a distinguished guest!" ”

Rong Luoluo did not follow the little official in, but turned to look at the scribe, his little hand pulled his sleeve, looked at him pitifully, and said in a milky voice: "Sir, sugar gourd!" ”

The scribe shook his head helplessly and touched the little girl's brain. He arched his hand to the little official again, and then entered the guest house with the military general behind him.

This scene happened to be seen by Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who had just arrived, Cao Cao looked at the backs of the three with some surprise, and asked Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, you have always been close to the merchant envoy, you know what the identity of those three people is"

Liu Bei shook his head: "I don't know, seeing that the officials of Pingzhou are very respectful to them, presumably the identity must be extraordinary, but I have never heard of such a noble girl, it is not the blood of the emperor."

"Huh." Cao Cao sneered: "Duke Xuande, do you think that Dong thief will let the noble daughter of the Heavenly Family leave Beijing, and that little girl's words and deeds have no royal noble posture, but she is no different from an ordinary peasant girl." ”

The two were discussing Rong Luoluo, but they saw several people walking out of the welcome pavilion, the leader of whom was like a crown of jade, dressed in a brocade robe, stepping on clouds, wearing a ring of jade on his waist, and his temperament was elegant and outstanding.

"Hahaha, Meng De, it's been half a year since Yangcheng was parted, Brother Meng De is fine!"

"Brother Benchu, you're here too!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and walked two steps quickly to meet Yuan Shao.

"It's not just me, the highway is also here, Jiangdong Sun Wentai, Wuyuan Lu Fengxian, Yuyang Gongsun Bogui, Xiliang Ma Shoucheng, and Beihai Kong Wenju are all here. Although Lu Gong, Dong Zhuo, Ding Jianyang, and Jizhou Hanwen Festival did not come in person, they also sent confidants and important ministers to watch the ceremony. ”

"By the way, this one next to him is the famous Liu Xuande, hahaha, counting Xuande Gong and Meng De, most of the heroes in the world gather in Xiangping! The demeanor of the merchant envoy, I can't wait for it! ”

Before Yuan Shao's words fell, a few more people came out of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and just when they heard Yuan Shao's last words, everyone's faces suddenly changed.
