Wei Ba's heart is very empty, he doesn't have the pride and pride of a traverser, and even feels that he is a shame for the traverser. On martial arts, he is also the height of his genetic father, and his real strength is estimated to be bullying a scholar like Yang Yi - he has to take advantage of his inattention, if he really wants to be right with his peers, he will definitely lose ugly. dissertation, he was even more panicked, maybe he could steal a few Tang poems and make a fu? Oh my God, I don't know a word, if I talk about the scriptures, I'll take it, I'll kill myself, save me embarrassment to my father, and come back and be beaten up.

"This ...... I've been a little busy lately, and I don't know if I can walk away. Well, I'll ask my father to see if I can ......."

"I've already asked General Wei for instructions." Zhuge Qiao smiled brightly, and there was some wilting, as if he had long thought that Wei Ba would shirk it. He lowered his voice and leaned into Wei Ba's ear. "I won't tell you anything, the prime minister intends to select some young people with potential to enter the house, this time it is said to be a party, but it is actually an exam, but it is not said publicly, I will only tell you one person."

Wei Ba scratched his head. Shu Han said that he had a son of heaven, but in the eyes of most people, he only had the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he could enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if he was an ordinary clerk, his career in the future would be much higher than others. Dad must have been moved when he heard this, so he agreed, but he didn't know that the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion was high, and it was proud to be able to climb in, but it was very embarrassing to not be able to climb in, not to mention that now your son is actually a fake, not an opponent at all.

"That'...... I'll have to ask for advice, too. Wei Ba said cheekily, even he felt a little unbearable on his face. At the very least, we should hand over the matter at hand, so as not to delay the business. ”

Zhuge Qiao blinked, and seemed to be a little helpless, he exchanged a look with Zhao Guang: "Since this is the case, then Brother Wei will go, I believe that General Wei is a reasonable person and will not stop him." ”

Wei Ba thinks the same way, but his father is not reasonable, but he is desperate, and he doesn't care if his son can afford to save this face. You have to ask for the face you can want, and you have to ask for the face you can't want, you have to find a way to ask for it, it's really hard to die.

Sending Zhuge Qiao and Zhao Guang away, Wei Ba trotted to find his father. Wei Yan was training, and after listening to Wei Ba's words, he said impatiently: "I know, Zhuge Qiao has already told me just now, isn't it just that young people are learning from each other, what is there to worry about." Go, I still don't believe it, my Wei Yan's son will be inferior to them? ”

Wei Ba said in his heart, Dad, alas, if you say something that hits you, your son is really inferior to them. However, he thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to say it, for fear that his father would turn his face on the spot and beat him in front of thousands of soldiers, then he would really not be able to live.

On the next day, Wei Ba was a little restless in doing things, and he felt a flurry at the thought of being embarrassed tomorrow. But he doesn't have a good way, and it seems that it's too late to practice martial arts now, study? It's too late.

At night, he was holding his cheeks in the tent and sighing, Peng Xiaoyu came in with the carpenter uncle, the carpenter uncle happily held the newly made foot bath, and sent it to Wei Ba like a treasure, intentionally or unintentionally showing the side of a carved tiger in front of Wei Ba. It's a pity that his flattering eyes were all white, Wei Ba was annoyed, and he didn't have the heart to look at his works at all, so he waved his hand: "Put it there." ”

The carpenter uncle was very disappointed and depressed, glanced at the fruits of his day's labor, and walked out with his head drooped. When Peng Xiaoyu saw it, he rushed outside the tent, stopped the carpenter uncle, and took out a handful of five baht coins from his arms: "Wait, this is the young general's reward for you, take it to buy some wine to drink." ”

Uncle Carpenter suddenly smiled, holding the money, and was about to enter the account to Wei Ba to thank him, Peng Xiaoyu stopped him and said in a low voice: "The young general is busy, so don't go in." ”

"Alas, okay, if the major general has anything to do in the future, go directly to me Wang Wu." Uncle carpenter took the money into his arms, hummed a little song, took a big stride, and walked away happily.

When Wei Ba heard their words in the tent, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and a little proud. This foot bath is a private job, and it stands to reason that you should give a tip, and you forgot about it, and you have to be reminded by Peng Xiaoyu, otherwise you will have a bad reputation of being stingy. Dad has always been bold to his subordinates, and he can't spoil the family style.

When Peng Xiaoyu entered the account, Wei Ba said very sincerely: "Xiaoyu, xiexie." ”

Peng Xiaoyu was a little surprised, and a touch of shame flew on her face. "It's nothing, the young general has to do big things, and these little things to check and make up for the omissions are what the servant should do. Major General, this foot bath is ready, I also went to find the medicinal herbs you said, wash it immediately, or wait a while? ”

Wei Ba threw the official document aside, and said with some frustration: "I'm not in the mood to read it, you go and prepare water, I'll wash it early and go to bed." ”

Peng Xiaoyu pursed his lips and smiled, turned around to get it done, it didn't take long, a steaming bucket of water was ready, and all kinds of prepared medicinal herbs were also put in, and a faint medicinal fragrance spread in the tent, refreshing people's hearts. Peng Xiaoyu rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his white arms, tested the water temperature, then picked up Wei Ba's feet and rested them on his laps, took off his socks, and put them in the basin, and then sat opposite Wei Ba with his legs in his arms, resting his chin on his knees, and staring intently at the hot air coming out of the foot bath bucket.

Wei Ba was thoughtful, and he didn't notice that Peng Xiaoyu's expression was abnormal, he picked up the official document on the case and wanted to read it, but after reading two lines, he felt that he couldn't stand it, so he threw it back. After repeating it two or three times, Peng Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Major General, are you worried about tomorrow's party?" ”

Wei Ba glanced at him: "How do you know?" ”

Peng Xiaoyu said slowly: "This matter has spread throughout the camp, of course I know." ”

"The whole camp has spread?" Wei Ba was taken aback, this is too exaggerated, right?

Peng Xiaoyu raised her eyelids, glanced at him, and saw Wei Ba's nervous expression, so she couldn't help but chuckle: "Young General, you're thinking too much." It's not just for you. She paused, and then said, "Of course, the major general must be a more important candidate." ”

"More important? Weishenme said so? Wei Ba touched his chin, "I think I'm ordinary." ”

"The major general may be very ordinary, but General Wei is not ordinary." Peng Xiaoyu retracted her straight calves and sat up straighter, her two good-looking Danfeng eyes sparkled, and Wei Ba's heart trembled, and then she was reminded by her blue spot, and sighed again.

"What's so unusual about the general?" Wei Ba lowered his eyelids and said lightly.

"Before the prime minister came to Hanzhong, General Zhenbei was the highest military position in Hanzhong, but after the prime minister came, how to deal with General Zhenbei's military power is a matter of caution for the prime minister." Peng Xiaoyu glanced at Wei Ba, paused for a moment, and then continued: "If General Zhenbei still retains the military power in his hands, then General Zhenbei's Mansion is another independent shili outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. But rashly depriving General Zhenbei of the military power, who knew that General Zhenbei would not have an idea? ”

Wei Ba's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The prime minister wants the Northern Expedition and wants to monopolize power, so he must remove General Zhenbei from military power and turn General Zhenbei into a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but considering General Zhenbei's prestige and strength, he is worried about arousing General Zhenbei's disgust, so he can't do it hastily. Therefore, Huairou became the best choice to eliminate General Zhenbei's defensive mentality, and at the same time test General Zhenbei's bottom line step by step. ”

Wei Ba looked at Peng Xiaoyu and was secretly surprised in his heart. Did this little girl really grow up in a baggage camp since she was a child, how could she guess people's hearts so accurately. Although Dad has great respect for Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, if military power is indeed the foundation of his life, he has been training uninterrupted these days, not so much to prepare for the Northern Expedition, but to show others his control over these horses. And what Zhuge Liang has done in the past few days, of course, can also be seen to be gentle and wooing the Wei family's father and son. Otherwise, General Zhenbei committed the following crimes, hijacked the Hou General, and made a big fuss about the baggage camp, how could it be so easy to solve.

Peng Xiaoyu noticed Wei Ba's strange eyes, pursed her lips, and laughed silently, a little bitter. "My mother's surname is Li, and she is the sister of the Li family of Guanghan, and she died of exhaustion in the baggage camp last year."

"Guanghan Li's three dragons?" Wei Ba was confused, he had never heard of this statement. He only knew the eight dragons of the Yingchuan Xun clan, and he had never heard of the three dragons of the Guanghan Li clan.

"There are four brothers in the Li family of Guanghan County, except for Li Hannan (Li Miao), who is crazy and upright, and is not praised, and has talent, and is called the three dragons of the Li family. The young dragon Li Jinan died early, and the second dragon Li Weinan made the book of the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, followed the first emperor to the east, and died in Yong'an. Dalong Li Yongnan ......" Peng Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and sniffed, "The year before last, he accompanied the prime minister to the south and died in the army. Now there is only one open-mouthed Li Hannan left, and he doesn't know when he will die because of his mouth. ”

Lee Han-nam ...... Where are you now? ”

"Just in the army, he joined the army for the prime minister, and he came to see me two days ago."

"Then you don't ask him to save you?"

"I don't want anything to do with him." Peng Xiaoyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "My mother said that he, like my father, is talented, but his temperament is too arrogant, and he will inevitably die in the future." I beg that he may be able to escape from slavery for a while, but there is no guarantee that he will not be implicated again in the future. She said embarrassedly, "Some of the things I just said were told to me." ”

Wei Ba asked cautiously, "Your father...... Is it because he said the wrong thing that he was sinned? ”

Peng Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, my Peng family suffered this catastrophe just because he said that the first emperor was absurd." ”
