Wei Ba stood with his hands in his hands, not moving at all, but Zhao Tong was scared into a cold sweat, and without saying a word, he slapped a palm on Sun Luban's wrist, wrapped his arms around her waist, and dragged her out of a safe distance.

The sword fell to the ground with a "dang".

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Sun Luban struggled and shouted, "I'm going to kill him!" ”

Wei Ba didn't even look at her, turned his head to look at Sun Deng, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Prince Sun, which one are you playing, if you can't beat it on the battlefield, you can play assassination, and let a woman assassinate?" ”

Sun Deng's face turned pale suddenly, he shook his hand again and again, took two steps back, and his face was panicked.

Zhuge Ke, who had been standing aside, took a step forward, blocked the door in front of Sun Deng, and coughed: "General, you misunderstood, this has nothing to do with the prince." ”

"What does that have to do with you?" Wei Ba's gaze turned to Zhuge Ke's face, and suddenly realized: "I understand." Killing me here can not only eliminate a strong opponent for Wu Guo, but also a rival for the prime minister, and also blame my master's family, killing three birds with one stone, killing three birds with one stone. ”

Zhuge Ke was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "General, this joke is not funny at all. ”

"Jokes?" Wei Ba turned around and looked at Sun Luban, who was still angry: "Princess, are you joking with me?" ”

"Whoever is joking with you, I'm going to kill you." Sun Luban grabbed Zhao Tong's fingers vigorously, gritted his teeth and scolded: "You treacherous thing, when you need our Dawu, you can say all the good things, and when you run out, you will turn your face immediately, you ...... You shameless! ”

"That's right, I'm shameless." Wei Ba nodded sympathetically: "Between countries." What do you want to do with your face? Isn't your father also a vassal to Cao Wei for a while, and a good alliance with my Han Dynasty for a while? Does he want face? ”

Sun Luban was speechless, her pretty face was flushed, she was scolding again, Pan Ziyu shouted: "Have you made enough trouble?" Ziyu came to the door, the senior brother hasn't said a word yet, you got into trouble first, even if you don't care about the identity of the princess, can you save some face for the Zhao family? ”

Sun Luban was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. stared at Pan Ziyu and was about to make a biao. Pan Ziyu glanced at her, stepped in front of Sun Luban in two steps, turned his back to Wei Ba, and shouted in a low voice: "You want him to kill his husband and your brother first in a fit of anger." Will you destroy the state of Wu again? ”

Sun Luban was stunned. That's when I felt scared. She turned her face to look at Wei Ba, who was still smiling, but the smile looked a little more sinister. Zhuge Ke stood across from him. looked helpless, and his brother Sun Deng hid behind Zhuge Ke, his face was pale and panicked.

"Rubbish!" Sun Luban stomped his foot in frustration, pushed Zhao Tong away, and ran away.

"Okay, okay, don't stand stupidly, why don't you accompany Ziyu to sit in the hall?" Pan Ziyu pushed Zhao Tong, smiling like a flower, and his demeanor was calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Zhao Tong stepped forward and stretched out his hand to invite with an embarrassed expression. Wei Ba shrugged his shoulders and followed him to the hall, smiling as he walked: "Senior brother, now you understand my hard work, right?" Look at it, the sister-in-law of the Pan family is what makes everyone feel good, that tigress will only dismantle the stage, and will not be in charge. ”

Zhao Tong nodded awkwardly. Pan Ziyu glanced at Wei Ba and said angrily: "You know who she is, and you still make fun of her, is it interesting?" ”

Wei Ba haha smiled, sat down in the hall, and beckoned to Sun Deng and Zhuge Ke, who were still standing in the court: "Prince Sun, Brother Yuan Xun, come up and sit, do you want me to invite?" ”

Sun Deng was in a dilemma, but Zhuge Ke laughed, bowed and saluted freely: "Prince, it's rare to have a chance to talk to General Zhennan, go up and sit." ”

Sun Deng nodded embarrassedly and walked to the hall. However, the most distinguished guest seat is not his turn now, Wei Ba occupies it, and he can only sit at the bottom.

Zhao Tong rubbed his hands, not knowing how to break the embarrassment in front of him. Zhuge Ke preemptively said: "I heard that the general came back this time and brought a Jihua who went on an expedition to Liaodong, I don't know if you can reveal one or two?" ”

Wei Ba squinted at Zhuge Ke: "Your news is well-informed." ”

Zhuge Ke was calm: "Han is strong and Wu is weak, if you are not vigilant, how can you survive." ”

"That makes sense." Wei Ba's eyes were a little more appreciative: "Zhuge Yi's family, how talented, it is really enviable." Originally, it was scattered in all directions, each serving its master, and it was difficult to match, but now it is really worrying to gather my big man. ”

Zhuge Ke's face was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled again: "The general is eloquent, even if Zhuge goes all out, he is not the general's opponent." Among his fathers, his uncle is the most talented, and isn't he also losing in front of the general? As for my uncle who is on public leave, he is now a general under the general's command, but the general's orders are obeyed, so why should the general worry. ”

"That's right. Zhuge Gong retired and abandoned Wei to Han, and your father, son and brother followed Wu into Han, and they all served for the Han Dynasty in the future. ”

Sun Deng breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Zhuge Ke gratefully. A few tentative words between him and Wei Ba seem to be just kind words, but there are traps and murderous intentions implied in them, and if they don't say it properly, they may be caught by the other party. If you change a person, you really may not have the courage to go head-to-head with Wei Ba without falling behind.

No wonder his father wanted to pull him out of the battlefield and rush to Chengdu to help him.

"There is indeed a Jihua who went on an expedition to Liaodong." Wei Ba returned to the topic: "From a certain point of view, this jihua is also for the sake of Wu Guo. ”

Hearing that it was related to the national fortune of Wu Guo, Sun Deng immediately raised his spirit and arched his hand: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"The prince must also know that there is an opinion in the court at present, saying that the king with a different surname is inconsistent with the old system of the Han Dynasty, and he wants to reduce the vassal and demote the king of Wu. To be honest, I don't think it's appropriate. That's right, the Han Dynasty has an old system, and a different surname cannot be called a king. However, King Wu has just abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and there is no fault yet, and he rashly cut the domain, I am afraid that it is the pain of the relatives and the speed of the enemy, and it is not the right thing for the wise to do. ”

Sun Deng nodded again and again, but Zhuge Ke remained silent.

"I proposed an expedition to Liaodong to give King Wu a chance to prove his loyalty. Liaodong Wanli, whether it is from Jiaozhou or Jingzhou, it is very inconvenient. If King Wu sends out his army to assist, our army will be based in Wu County and Guangling, and the journey will be shortened by nearly half, and the difficulty of supplying the army can be greatly alleviated. King Wu made such a contribution, if there are still people who doubt King Wu's loyalty, it will be intolerable. Prince, do you think that's the truth? ”

Sun Deng didn't say anything for a long time. He may not be ruthless enough, but he's not stupid. He heard the sinister intentions in Wei Ba's words. If you want to go on an expedition to Liaodong, you must use Wu County and Guangling as a base, and the baggage and supplies of the army are likely to be collected from Wu County, Guangling and other places, at least the burden on the people there is much heavier. This is a disguised attempt to absorb the financial and material resources of the Wu State and make the Wu State even weaker. If King Wu disagrees with this decision, it will be even more troublesome, which confirms that King Wu is unwilling to lie in wait and has a rebellious heart, and gives factual support to the opinions of those who cut down the domain.

Whether or not Liaodong can be conquered or not, Wu Guo will definitely not be able to escape.

And behind this, there is actually a deeper meaning. Wei Ba was not in favor of cutting the domain, but it was not for the sake of Wu State, but for his own sake. He supported the continued existence of the state of Wu, which was to refute the old system of not being allowed to be the king with a different surname, and to pave the way for himself to be the king.

In other words, Wu Guo was nothing more than a dog, a sacrifice thrown by Wei Ba to fulfill his ambitions.

However, Wu Guo had no room for resistance, so he could only be at the mercy of others.

Sun Deng felt that Sun Luban's scolding was not bad at all, he was a waste, and in the face of an arrogant opponent like Wei Ba, he had no courage to resist at all. Not only does he not have the strength, but he also has no courage. It was probably because he had seen through this a long time ago that Mrs. Sun refused to support him, hoping that he would resign himself to his fate and not make unnecessary resistance, so as not to cause the disaster of killing and destroying the country.

Even if Sun Deng's cultivation is good, at this moment, he feels very depressed.

Zhuge Ke opened his mouth, but he stopped talking. It's not that he has nothing to say, but he also knows now that he must have strength to speak, and if he doesn't have strength, it's better not to say it, otherwise he will only bring humiliation on himself.

It was an embarrassing time in the hall when Zhao Yun came back. He just glanced at the hall, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed. Zhao Tong and Wei Ba stood up in unison, walked down the hall quickly, walked in front of him, and bowed.

"Father."

"Master."

Sun Deng, Zhuge Ke and Pan Zhu also hurriedly got up and went down to the hall to greet him: "General." ”

Zhao Yun returned the salute to Sun Deng, said a few words, and then glanced at Wei Ba: "Ziyu, you come with me, I have a few words I want to ask you." ”

"Whoa." Wei Ba bowed down and agreed, and after greeting Sun Deng and the others, he followed Zhao Yun to the backyard. At this moment, he is a well-behaved and obedient junior, and the arrogant and unreasonable general Zhennan just now is like two people, and the change is so big that it is enough to make Sun Deng and Zhuge Ke shocked and inexplicable.

"This ......" Sun Deng glared and pointed in the direction where Wei Ba left, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be surprised, the prince, General Zhennan has always been like this." Zhao Tong finally regained his composure and smiled faintly: "Only in front of the enemy, he is a fierce beast, and in front of relatives and friends, he is definitely a person who can be relied on." So...... It is best not to be an enemy of him unless absolutely necessary. ”

Sun Deng smiled bitterly, and said in his heart Who wants to be his enemy, it is he who regards Wu Guo as an enemy. Look at his promotion along the way, which time he did not step on the humiliation of Wu State. Wu Guo is really downcast with blood mold, and he has somehow become such an unborn enemy. It seems that it can only be said that it is the will of God, otherwise there is really no way to explain it.

Sun Deng suddenly thought of the jade seal of the country, the jade seal that represented the world had stayed in the hands of the Sun family for a short time, and then it was snatched away, could it be that it implied that the king of the world was just a short spring dream for the Wu country, although it was beautiful, it was not a fact after all...... (To be continued......)
