Chapter 396: Confusing
After Fei Yi left, Wei Ba sat alone for a long time, and although the secret order had been burned, every word still hovered in his mind. He weighed the pros and cons repeatedly, guessing how much was true and how much was false, but this kind of thing was obviously more difficult to guess than the Big Bang.
What's the hardest thing in the world to guess? Popularity.
Wei Ba couldn't guess that a few of what Fei Yi said were true, he instinctively divided Fei Yi and Zhuge Liang into a circle, and he was a little suspicious of the people in that circle.
During the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang used to treat him as an outcast, but this time, the smell of conspiracy was even stronger.
Zhao Tong was outside the door and saw Fei Yi leaving, so he walked in. While he was still in the hallway, he spoke loudly to Atsumo, and standing in the doorway, he coughed again and knocked on the door.
Wei Ba raised his head and beckoned: "Senior brother, it's just in time, I have something to discuss with you." ”
Zhao Tong quietly stepped into the door and closed the door. As soon as the military guard at the door saw this jiashi, he didn't need to command, he immediately blocked the gate, and at the same time passed the order out silently, and the entire courtyard entered a state of martial law.
"What's so stressful?" Zhao Tong sat down, took the kettle, poured himself a glass of water in his hand, and asked unhurriedly.
"The Prime Minister gave me a secret order." Wei Ba knew that it was impossible for anyone outside to eavesdrop, but he still habitually lowered his voice, said the content of the secret order, and then looked at Zhao Tong with burning eyes.
Zhao Tong's face has always been very calm, except for his eyelids jumping twice, he has no other expression.
"Senior brother. What do you think I should do? ”
Zhao Tong glanced at him. "You mean you shouldn't trust the prime minister, right?"
Wei Ba nodded, a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter if you believe him or not." Zhao Tong held the water cup, took a sip, smacked his lips, and then said slowly: "If you are sure that you can complete it, even if it is a pit, you should move forward bravely, whoever stands in your way, you will kill whoever stands in your way." If you feel unsure. Even if there is a mountain of gold ahead. You can't take a step lightly. Do you think that's the truth? ”
Wei Ba pondered for a long time and nodded: "Senior brother, I understand." This task is too dangerous, so I'd better live in peace. I'll go back to Fei Yi tomorrow. Resolutely do not enter the Wu realm one step. ”
Zhao Tong's jaw head agreed. "Officialdom is like a battlefield. It's better not to make a wrong step, so it's better to be careful. Greed is the deadliest bait. ”
Zhao Tong chatted a few more words. Get up and leave. Wei Ba sat under the lamp, but he couldn't sleep for a long time. Although he decided to reject the temptation out of caution, he also knew that it was not something he could refuse if he wanted to. If the Eastern Wu side insists on him to enter Wu to welcome his relatives, if he does not go, the crime of not being able to get along with him will fall on his head. Zhuge Liang couldn't kill him because of this, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't let him sit on the cold bench because of this. And Guan Feng and the others obviously don't want to see this scene, not everyone is as cautious as the Zhao family's father and son, and has enough patience.
"Tuk Tuk!" Two short knocks sounded on the door, Wei Ba was startled, calmed down, and shouted, "Come in." ”
The door was pushed open a crack, and the starlight outside came in, and Wei Ba noticed that the hour was not early. Two figures squeezed in through the crack in the door, one was Atsubu, the other was wearing a cloak, and his whole face was hidden in the darkness. After entering the door and closing the door, he slowly walked in front of Wei Ba, lifted the cloak, slowly pulled out a long sword from his waist, lifted the tip of the sword upside down, and slowly put it on the case in front of Wei Ba.
Dunwu held the knife and stood aside without saying a word.
Wei Ba glanced at the long sword, slowly raised his head, looked at the visitor, and suddenly said, "Are you a woman who is easy to hairpin?" ”
The man smiled. She smiled, suddenly blooming like a flower, but still with three points of coldness. With a goose egg face, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, she is a beauty with delicate facial features. She was tall, and even wearing a long and large cloak could not hide her delicate figure.
"Han Zhenying, a subordinate of Shushan, has seen Wei Shizhong."
Wei Ba leaned back, his arms outstretched, hanging casually at his sides. But his fingers were no more than two inches from the short knife in his crotch, and his legs were bent, seemingly slow, ready to strike back. Especially the left leg, with one kick out, you can kick the case in front of you and the long sword on the case away, and you can attack with the wooden case.
He had to be careful, these four words under the Shushan Gate meant danger. Peng Xiaoyu sent back the news that when he was in Chang'anyi, the young man next to Peng Heng who was cut off by Dunwu was a disciple of Shushan, reminding him to be careful, these rangers and other characters pay the most attention to revenge.
"It seems that the servant also knows that the one who died at the hands of Dunjun is my junior brother." Han Zhenying couldn't help but smile when she saw Wei Ba on guard: "That's right, I came this time for a purpose to fight him, see his skull-breaking knife technique, and see how amazing it is." ”
"I advise you not to try." Wei Ba said with a smile: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, when is the time to repay the grievances?" ”
"Scared?"
"What am I afraid of?" Wei Ba disagreed: "My Wei family has thousands of soldiers, it really annoys me, unless you can go to heaven and earth, I want to exterminate you, isn't it an easy thing?" What's more, I am still the head of the Heavenly Master Dao Guan Zhongzhi, and it is not difficult to invite a few kendo masters from Qingcheng Mountain. ”
"The servant really refuses to be wronged." Han Zhenying smiled and took out a bag from her arms: "I came this time, in addition to competing with him, there is one more thing, that is, I am entrusted by someone to bring this thing to you." ”
Han Zhenying carried the bag, but did not step forward, just looked at Wei Ba. Wei Ba looked at him motionlessly, Dun Wu stepped forward, took the bag, retreated to Wei Ba's side, and handed it to Wei Ba. Wei Ba took it in his hand and slowly opened the bag, which was a neatly folded silk book, crisscrossed with many ink lines, which looked like a map.
Wei Ba was a little surprised, and spread the silk book on the table, and sure enough, it was a map, a very detailed map. In addition to the ink lines, there are some blood stains on the map. It's just that the map is not complete, and it has been cut out of it, and there are still some rough edges. In addition to the map, there is also a sign that looks a little old in the bag, the texture is not visible, it is not too big, but it is very heavy, and there are some incomprehensible patterns engraved on it, like words, and like totems.
Wei Ba glanced at the map. "Who are you entrusted with?"
"I can't tell you right now, but if you decide to accept the mission, I have a secret letter to you, and you will understand when the time comes. If you don't want to accept it, then I'll take it all back. ”
Wei Ba was puzzled, who was this, not only did he have such a detailed map, but also such a strange request. But since he knew about the secret mission, it should be one of those people.
"May I think about it?"
"Of course, but you'll have to give me an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest." Han Zhenying turned her gaze to Dunwu: "For such a long time, we must be able to meet each other, right?" ”
Dunwu snorted disappruptively.
Wei Ba waved his hand, signaling that they could go out. Han Zhenying re-covered her cloak and went out first with her long legs, Dun Wu stayed for a moment and whispered a few words in Wei Ba's ear. Wei Ba raised his head in surprise: "Really? ”
"Hmm." Dunwu nodded solemnly: "Although he didn't admit it personally, I can see his swordsmanship." ”
Wei Ba smiled: "Since that's the case, then I'm much more relieved." Go ahead, clean up this little girl's skin, subdue her, and take her as a wife. You're getting old, it's time to start a family. ”
Dun Wu's face was flushed suddenly, and he stammered, "Young master, ......"
"There's nothing embarrassing about men getting married and women getting married." Wei Ba smiled evilly: "Moreover, don't think that I can't see it, you two have already seen each other." I was still worried about enmity, and since there is no such thing, what is there to hesitate about. Go ahead and get her! ”
Dunwu went out with a red face. Wei Ba looked at the map under the lamp, thinking about those hidden in the shadows, and couldn't help but laugh. These days are really people's hearts, no one can guess it. All of them are smart people, and the eight immortals have crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. Later generations can only know one skin from the history books, who can know how many stories are hidden under this skin?
Wei Ba turned on the light and carefully studied the half of the map under the lamp. In his mind, a dense jungle slowly appeared, a jungle full of blood and fighting, a dusty past, a tragic and poignant past.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Wei Ba got up, finished his morning class, and came to Fei Yi's room.
"Fei Jun, I have decided to accept the task."
Fei Yi seemed to be prepared, and he patted Wei Ba's shoulder with satisfaction: "The prime minister didn't misunderstand you, we didn't misunderstand you, you are a responsible young man, and your future is limitless." Come, this is the detailed jihua drawn up by the prime minister. Again, it's not named, you can only see it for yourself, and you must not leak it out. ”
Wei Ba took the thick bag and smiled slightly: "If I don't accept it, then what are you going to do?" ”
Fei Yi glanced at him and asked, "What do you think we will do?" ”
Wei Ba rubbed his nose and gave up the idea of arguing with Fei Yi. This man looks very arrogant, but in fact his mouth is tighter than anyone else's, and he often goes back and forth between the two countries, and this eloquence is not known how many times better than him.
Wei Ba said goodbye to Fei Yi and returned to his room, where Dunwu and Han Zhenying greeted him side by side. Wei Ba glanced at Han Zhenying, and said with a smile: "Miss Han, Dunwu is good, right?" ”
Han Zhenying lowered her head in embarrassment and kicked her toes. Dun Wu smiled innocently, and his always cool face showed a rare shyness. Wei Ba looked amused and coughed. "I said, it's better to settle the grievance, let's just pass this matter, I handed over the murderer to you, in the future, if you want to kill or chop or hurt or love, I don't care, just don't be distracted when you're on duty."
Dun Wu hurriedly said: "Young master, don't worry, I won't delay the business." ”
Wei Ba hahadaxiao. (To be continued......)
