"Brother Zhao, you are so open-mouthed. If you are unwell, send someone into the palace. The eldest brother will ask the imperial doctor to heal you. ”

When Sima Zhao heard this, his heart trembled, and a warm current filled his body. How can people be ruthless? Wen Shun treats each other sincerely, and regards Sima Zhao as a flesh and blood, how can Sima Zhao not be moved by the sincerity of this love? Sima Zhao's expression changed for a while, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth to suppress that emotion. Seeing this, Wen Shun thought that Sima Zhao's illness had attacked, so he reached out and grabbed Sima Zhao's hand, feeling a burst of coldness, coming from his skin, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, and he asked eagerly.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you!?

Sima Zhao took a breath, deftly withdrew his hand, and said with a smile.

"Big brother is worried. The younger brother was just tired, so he could rest for a while. ”

"Hmm. So you rest. Big brother, I'll go back to the palace now. ”

When Wen Shun heard this, he got up. After the two said goodbye, Wen Shun left the wing. Coincidentally, this torrential rain came suddenly and went quickly. As soon as Wen Shun came out of the building, the rain stopped, the sun shone, and there was a rainbow in the sky, from east to west, across the entire Chang'an City. Many children in the streets, looking at the rainbow, laughed and jumped and jumped. After heavy rains, the heavens and the earth are moistened, the air is crisp, and the climate is pleasant. Wen Shun took a deep breath, was in a good mood, and rushed back to the palace.

In the next few days, the important ministers and generals who rushed back from all over the country returned to Chang'an City one after another. Even Lu Xun, Quan Cong, Zhuge Ke and others were invited. Among them, there are Liu Chan, the former king of Shu, as well as Fa Zheng, Ma Liang and others. Of course, the generals who guarded the frontier in various places sent their henchmen to guard the passes, and only returned after the arrangements were made.

So in the past few days, there was a lot of traffic in the Chang'an Palace, and the Western Tang Dynasty civil and military forces brought gifts to each other. Wen Han rarely got together with all the courtiers and was very happy. And here, Wen Han especially met Lu Xun and other generals of Eastern Wu, and talked deeply, but as for what to talk about, he didn't know. Then Wen Han also summoned Liu Chan to meet, Liu Chan was weak and would only blindly flatter and laugh, but Ma Liang and Fa Zheng were quite dignified and did not give in. Wen Han knew that the two were still loyal to Shu Han, but they were unscrupulous, after all, Liu Chan had no intention of recovering the country. Wen Han heard that he was in Hanzhong, day and night only knew how to indulge in sexual pleasures, and often had words of gratitude with the officials in Hanzhong, saying that today's wealth is all due to the gift of the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, and he is willing to repay the kindness of cattle and horses. And Fa Zheng, Ma Liang, and Wen Hannian are all talented people, one is the master of Hanzhong, and the other is Sima of Hanzhong. However, secretly they all sent flying kites to monitor their every move. Fa Zheng and Ma Liang are also people who love the people, and they govern Hanzhong impressively. When Wen Han learned about it, he was also overjoyed, and privately promised Fa Zheng and Ma Liang that if he could become an emperor in the future and unify the world, he could give Hanzhong to Liu Chan and make him the king of Hanzhong. When Fa Zheng and Ma Liang heard this, their faces changed for a while, and they gave up their promises, thanked them and retreated. Although Wen Han didn't know what the two of them thought, it was difficult for these old ministers of Shu Han to stir up much of a storm, and they didn't care. Recently, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals who are stationed in various places have come to report on the recruitment of new soldiers. The recruits in Hedong, Hejian, Shuzhong, Wunan, and Jiaozhou were all formed. Shuzhong levied 30,000 people, and Wunan and Jiaozhou also levied more than 30,000 people. The national conscription is on track. Wen Han was very happy, and he rewarded them one by one.

At the same time, in the drunken immortal building of Chang'an City. Sima Zhao and Ma Guang are in a wing room. I saw Sima Zhao's face dark, and Ma Guang asked.

"Those flying kites are still watching? How manpower? ”

"Returning to the second master. Wen Zixi's wedding is imminent, and the generals and non-commissioned officers from all over the country have been coming and going endlessly recently. Many of them are newcomers. Or because of this, the number of dead kites has been greatly reduced. Around here, there are only about seven or eight people watching. ”

Ma Guang's eyes froze, and he replied respectfully. When Sima Zhao heard this, his face was calm, as if he was thinking about a strategy. At this time, Ma Guang's face turned cold and said in a cold voice.

"It seems that Wen Zixi is just a sanctimonious hypocrite. Mingli and the second master are brothers, and secretly send people to spy on the second master! ”

Sima Zhao frowned, slowly stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and sighed.

"Definitely. If my eldest brother is suspicious of me, how can he show me such a secret as a thunder cannon? The king of the Western Tang Dynasty has always attached great importance to secrecy, and when he wanted to get the thunder cannon from the eldest brother, he must first reveal his father. At this time, it was the king of the Western Tang Dynasty who became suspicious of me, so he taught the flying kite to monitor my every move. Now that I have been watched, it is difficult to move an inch, but fortunately, my eldest brother has no guard against me, and not only told me about the four-style Tang knife one by one, but even the thunder cannon was also shown to me. I already know a thing or two about the equipment of the western **, and it is time to leave. ”

Sima Zhao seems to have a sincere relationship with Wen Han, and he still calls Wen Shun his eldest brother. Ma Guang listened, his heart tightened, and he said with great concern.

"But the limelight is tight. If there is any movement from the second master, I am afraid that those flying kite dead soldiers will not give up. If the second master is unfortunately captured, what can he do? ”

When Sima Zhao heard this, he smiled indifferently and said slowly.

"Uncle Guang doesn't have to worry about this. I have already divined a hexagram, although the hexagram is dangerous, but in the end, it can still turn evil into good fortune. Tomorrow is the wedding date of the eldest brother, and now Chang'an City is overcrowded. Great joy is imminent, and the cautious nature of the king of Tang in the west must be closely guarded, in case someone makes trouble from it. In this case, it was a good time for me to leave. Tomorrow when the wedding banquet begins, I will dress up and go out of the city! ”

The second master had already made up his mind, so the villain didn't ask anymore. What does the second master command, although he proposed it with the villain. ”

"Good! Tomorrow's things will be more cumbersome, Uncle Ma, you can go and rest first. ”

Sima Zhao responded with a hello, and after Ma Guang finished saluting, he retreated.

The night passed. Finally, it was the day when Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji got married. I saw that on the streets of Chang'an, the lanterns were hung with colors, and a large area of red and festive colors was densely packed everywhere, and people came and went. In the shuttling flow of people, many of them were people disguised as flying kites, monitoring every move in the city. With the sound of gongs and drums, a welcoming procession like a red dragon came out of the palace and was looking at the palace servant's mansion. The people were overjoyed, and they rushed to see them, and they all rushed to the place where they were greeting.

At this time, under the Zuixian Building, and it is said that today is the wedding of the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty, and all walks of life are closed to rest, and the Zuixian Building is naturally no exception. Yang Ku received Wen Shun's order, and came to invite, seeing that the drunken immortal building was closed, he knocked on the door of the store. After a while, the door of the store opened, and out came a man dressed as a little two. The sheep withered and bowed his hand, and asked Ma Zhao where he was. The little second replied that his son-in-law had gone out early to attend the wedding banquet of His Royal Highness the Prince. When Yang Ku heard this, he secretly complained in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this Ma Zhao would move so quickly, and there were crowds of people everywhere in the city, and he wanted to find him, like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, Yang Ku has always acted rigorously, and he refused to give up until he completed the task, so he led three or four soldiers to retreat and say goodbye.

At this time, around the gate of Chang'an, there were still people from various counties and counties who kept coming to watch the wedding banquet. And Sima Zhao didn't rush to attend Wen Shun's wedding banquet, but now he was disguised as an old man, with a few servants, mixed into the crowd, and rushed outside the city. Among them, there were two dead flying kites, and when they saw him and the others going out of the city, almost all of them were crowds of people entering the city, but this group of people was looking out of the city and hurrying towards them, and their appearance was suspicious. The two dead kites secretly made gestures, one left, and the other followed. Sima Zhao shuttled through the flow of people, and just arrived outside the city gate, suddenly someone came behind him. Sima Zhao frowned, and heard someone stop in his ears, and there were two men and a woman who left with Sima Zhao, both of whom were members of the Sima family. All three were startled and ready to attack. Sima Zhao secretly cast his eyes, signaling not to act rashly, and turned back one after another. I saw a man eight feet tall and wearing a red robe walking over, and this person was one of the dead soldiers of the flying kite.

"Today is the wedding of His Royal Highness, and the king is feasting in the city, and feasting all the people of the land. I don't know why the old man didn't go to the banquet, but went out of the city? ”

When Sima Zhao heard this, he replied.

"Ahem... Uncle doesn't know... The old man came to Chang'an with these two children and his daughter-in-law a few days ago... Ahem.. I wanted to attend the wedding banquet of the son, but yesterday the old husband had an old illness, and it was extremely uncomfortable... If you die of illness here... Ahem... That's... I'm sorry.... I'm afraid that I will anger the king....cough... Even if the family is young, he will go back quickly. ”

Sima Zhao was weak, pale, and coughed incessantly. The two men and a woman next to them were also cooperating, each looking nervous and pleading. When the dead man heard this, his expression sank, and he looked at the old man's face coldly. When the people around heard about it, they also came to persuade them. At this moment, people at the city gate suddenly shouted in surprise, shouting to catch the thief. About seven or eight men fled into the city. The dead man heard the turmoil, thought that someone was doing something, and asked the old man's family to wait for a while, and the old man agreed. He hurried to the place where there was turmoil. The flying kite dead man was cunning, and not long after leaving, he suddenly turned around and killed a horse pistol. I don't know that the old man's family is obedient, and he didn't leave, just chatting with the people around. When the dead man saw it, he was relieved, and he walked like a nimble fish, swimming around in the crowd. Sima Zhao saw that the dead man had already gone away, and his expression changed. Soon there was a burst of shouts in the city, and the people were drawn to it. So, Sima Zhao took advantage of the chaos to leave.

Let's say that Yang Ku was looking for Ma Zhao, and suddenly heard a commotion and hurried there. Seeing a person rushing around, he rushed over with a panicked expression. The sheep's withered face froze, and he shouted, like a tiger roaring, and like a fierce tiger pounced on food, he rushed to the man in an instant and grabbed him to the ground. Soon, three or four dead kites arrived. When the sheep withered and asked what was the matter, one of the dead kites replied that there were many people at the west gate who were stealing. Yang Ku frowned when he heard this, and felt suspicious. These thieves are bold enough to steal on the day of the prince's wedding, and the country is rich and all walks of life are prosperous, as long as they are willing to do things, they will not starve. At the same time, the law of the country is severe. Over the years, there have been few thefts in Chang'an. After thinking about it, Yang Ku had guessed that eighty percent of these people were meticulous, and he ordered the flying kite to die and torture him, and he must ask what happened. When the sheep had finished his command, he hurried with the men to Simon. When the sheep arrived, I saw seven or eight flying kites rushing out of the west gate. Yang Ku frowned, and hurriedly drove out of the city, just as he saw that the dead soldiers of flying kites were gathering in a place in front of him, and were asking the people for news. Yang Ku strode forward, and a dead man recognized Yang Ku and bowed his hand. The sheep bowed slightly, and asked what was the matter. Another flying kite dead soldier knew that Yang Ku was Wen Shun's henchman, and he did not slack off, and replied casually that there was a family of four people, suspicious in appearance, and he was asking, and suddenly there was a theft in the city, and when he rushed back, the old and young four people suddenly disappeared, and the people everywhere did not notice.

"There's a lot of evidence in this, and it's very well arranged. That family must be a big Wei meticulous work! ”

The sheep withered tiger was stunned and said in a condensed voice. The seven or eight dead kites all agreed, and after deliberating for a while, they looked all over the city. The sheep withered and led three or four soldiers to a path to the northwest. Let's say, Sima Zhao and his entourage took advantage of the chaos to escape. On the way, Sima Zhao took a hexagram, although he didn't know what the hexagram was, but his face suddenly became solemn, and he urged the servants to speed up their pace. Suddenly, the trees on the right side of the front shook for a while. As Sima Zhao's three subordinates changed their faces drastically, they were ready to take out their blades and fight to the death. Sima Zhao's face was shocked, and he waved his hand and shouted.

"Wait, that's Uncle Guang."

Sure enough, Sima Zhao's voice just fell. Seven or eight groups dressed as civilians, men and women, hurried out. The person at the head is none other than Ma Guang. It turned out that Ma Guang and the others had already made an appointment with Sima Zhao, and when Sima Zhao left from the West Gate, Ma Guang and the others also sneaked out of the North Gate. Sima Zhao asked intently.

"Uncle Guang, have you caught the attention of the flying kite?"

Ma Guang's face sank and replied hurriedly.

"Those flying kites are unusual. The villain and others were almost discovered, but fortunately, the second master had already made arrangements and escaped while the chaos was made. ”

It turned out that Ma Guang and Sima Zhao were in almost the same situation.
