Chapter 130: Paradoxical
Contrary to Wei Ba's expectations, Princess Qinghe did not covet his hue, but rewarded him with five beauties. However, this trick can be used a little poisonously: these beauties are all Xiahou Mao's beautiful concubines.
It is not uncommon for concubines to have no formal status, and concubines who have not given birth to children can give them as gifts at any time. The problem is that Wei Ba knows that these women were all collected by Xiahou Mao with great effort, and now Princess Qinghe has given them to herself as a gift in order to clear up internal troubles, so how will Xiahou Mao react?
Xiahou Mao didn't dare to have any disagreement with Princess Qinghe, but what about himself? But Princess Qinghe was still fair, and she didn't even dare to refuse, otherwise she would anger Princess Qinghe, who knows what the consequences would be.
Wei Ba excused himself, but Zuihou still accepted these beauties with each other. He has always had a hobby of looking at beautiful women, but now someone gave him five beauties, but he didn't even dare to look at them, he only dared to walk in front, looking at his nose and nose, his nose and his heart, and his eyes did not squint.
Xiahou Mao had already received the inside information, and watching Wei Ba lead five delicate little beauties out, his face turned white, this heart, pull out the cold.
Wei Ba saw that there was no one behind Princess Qinghe to follow, walked quickly to Xiahou Mao, and said anxiously: "Please rest assured, the general, his subordinates will definitely protect a few ladies thoroughly, and they dare not offend in the slightest." Wait for the cold house to be rectified and stopped, and wait for the general to come and guide at any time. ”
When Xiahou Mao heard this, his face looked a little better, but he also knew that Wei Ba might not dare to touch these women, but if he wanted to go to Wei Ba's house for a tryst, it would be a very difficult task. Princess Qinghe wouldn't be so careless and give him a chance to steal. If he is caught by Princess Qinghe and says that he has fornicated with the daughters of his subordinates, then the matter will be a big trouble.
"Go, go, and don't let them suffer." Xiahou Mao turned around sadly, not daring to look at those little beauties with tears rippling in his eyes.
Wei Ba led the five beauties away, and there was a car parked outside the side door. There were the clothes of these beauties on them, and Princess Qinghe almost cleaned them out of the house. Xiahou Mao rewarded Wei Ba with a lot of money before, and Wei Ba was happy at that time. I didn't expect that now I have to raise a little wife for Xiahou, this matter is ...... What a hassle.
Money is still a small thing, and bigger troubles are yet to come. Just now, Princess Qinghe said with a smile, Wei Ba, you are alone and abandon the darkness to the light. If you don't spread your heirs widely, how can you glorify the Wei family in the future? You're still young, and you're a general. It is estimated that it will be a little difficult to marry a wife for a while, so I will give these young women to you, so I can give birth to a few children for you first, and continue the bloodline of the Wei family.
Princess Qinghe said it beautifully, but Wei Ba was shocked when she heard it. If he touched these women, Xiahou Mao would definitely not spare him, he would not touch them. That Princess Qinghe would not spare him. He is the old farmer who picks dung, and he is (dead) before and after. He can't say to Princess Qinghe, I am undefeated in the East, and I can't give birth to children.
Wei Ba returned to the new mansion, and Peng Xiaoyu was directing the servants to be busy. Seeing that Wei Ba brought five beauties back, he couldn't help but be startled. Wei Ba hurriedly told what had happened, and Peng Xiaoyu immediately understood, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
"You can still laugh? Can't you see how dangerous your young master is right now? Wei Ba glared at her with some annoyance.
"Okay, okay, I know that the rats in the young master's bellows are angry at both ends. General Xiahou, Princess Qinghe, you can't afford to mess with either of these couples. Seeing that Wei Ba was annoyed, Peng Xiaoyu hurriedly smiled and pushed him into the room: "Okay, you go and do your business, and leave this matter to me first." Princess Qinghe didn't say that she wanted you to get them pregnant within a few days, and she still had time to think of countermeasures. ”
Wei Ba nodded stupidly, turned around and went into Peng Xiaoyu's study to prepare for him, closed the door, and turned around in the room.
He wasn't worried about these women. He was worried about the southeast. There is something going on in the southeast, Zhuge Liang's actions will be launched soon, and there is not much time left for him. Compared to this incident, the matter of those beauties is not worth mentioning at all.
It's not hard to get the information out. The problem is that he has just heard a little rumor now, and he doesn't know the specific situation, so if he rashly passes it on to Zhuge Liang, will it cause a misjudgment? He couldn't be more aware of the risk of Meridian Valley Jihua, and if there was a mistake, it would be a catastrophe. Needless to say, the Wei family, who specifically executed the Meridian Valley jihua, is likely to withdraw from the stage of history a few years early.
Wei Ba circled back and forth in the room, carefully weighing the pros and cons and analyzing the possibilities. Before I knew it, it was noon. In the past, when he was under house arrest in the post house, he ate two meals a day and had to meditate at noon, but now that he is a general, he has changed it to three meals a day, and there is no time to meditate at noon, but he has to eat.
"Young master, it's time for lunch." Peng Xiaoyu walked in with brisk steps, and when she saw Wei Ba frowning and thinking, she laughed: "Are you still worried about those women?" ”
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Yes, what good can you do?" ”
"I've said it all, these things are not in a hurry, and there is time to solve them." Peng Xiaoyu pushed Wei Ba out: "Let's go, I'll let Dong Chef prepare a table of wine, Tian Duwei and Xu Duwei are waiting for you." ”
Wei Ba responded, pushed Peng Xiaoyu's back with one hand, pushed her out of the door, and closed the door with the other. Peng Xiaoyu's eyes shrank, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and his expression was a little lost in an instant. She could see from Wei Ba's actions that even if it was her in the future, she couldn't enter this room casually. When she was in Hanzhong, Wei Ba even asked her to read some official documents, asking her to help come up with ideas and analyze the meaning of the literal, but now, she can't even enter the door of Wei Ba's study.
"What's wrong with you?" Wei Ba noticed that Peng Xiaoyu's face was a little wrong, and asked casually. He had something in his heart, and he didn't expect that a casual action he had just made Peng Xiaoyu think of something.
"Nothing." Peng Xiaoyu patted her forehead in disguise: "Maybe I'm hungry, I suddenly felt a little dizzy just now." ”
"Hee-hee, it can't be your relatives coming, anemic, right?"
Peng Xiaoyu blushed, lowered her head and said, "No, it may be that I ate too little in the morning." ”
"Thank you. But from today onwards, the young master is rich, and he doesn't need to save in the future, so he can pick some haode to eat. Wei Ba's face immediately darkened: "It's a pity that the young master wants to cultivate now, and he can't enjoy the food you made like before." ”
yes, it can't be the same anymore. Peng Xiaoyu sighed in her heart, and suddenly felt empty in her heart.
Wei Ba was at the table, and while eating with Tian Fu and Xu Ran, he discussed the matter of patrolling the surrounding area. Tian Fu and the others had already received Xiahou Mao's order, but they didn't say anything, they came up with some ideas and drew up a route. Zuihou Tian Fu said: "How is the general's riding skills? If it was ok, we went on horseback and could save a lot of time. ”
Wei Ba said: "My riding skills can't be compared with yours, but it's no problem to ride instead." ”
"That's great, I'll send a good horse to the general to ride." Tian Fugong arched his hand and smiled: "I would like to make a greeting gift, and please ask the general to smile." ”
Wei Ba knew that Tian Fu couldn't be so kind, this was just a convention in officialdom, and he also smiled and accepted it. Xu Ran also gave a gift, and Wei Ba accepted them one by one.
……
The next day, Wei Ba left Peng Xiaoyu to look after the house, took Dunwu, accompanied by Tian Fu and Xu Ran, and left Chang'an City to begin his work of inspecting the surrounding passes. The first stop is the Meridian Pass at the northern end of the Meridian Valley, located in the southwest of Chang'an. The last time Wei Ba escaped from Hanzhong, he passed through here. Since the opening of the Bao Slope Road, the Meridian Valley has not been passed by a large army for many years, and the Meridian Valley has also been idle, except for a few veterans, only some remnants of the rafters and broken tiles remain, and there is really nothing to see.
However, Wei Ba looked very carefully, and he even walked five or six miles along the plank road, until he encountered a place where the wood was damaged and impassable. Tian Fu and the others are good at riding horses, and they are very unsuitable for walking on the plank road halfway up the mountain, and the war horses are very nervous, so that they are in danger of falling off the cliff at any time. They were very incomprehensible to Wei Ba's request to move forward.
"General, don't say goodbye ahead, don't you have to go any more?"
"I'm not leaving." Wei Ba pointed to a large section of the cliff in front of him where only a row of stone eyes remained, and suddenly laughed: "Do you know, the reason why I was forced to escape from Hanzhong has something to do with Meridian Valley. ”
"Really?" Tian Fu knew that Wei Ba had escaped, but he didn't know the inside story, and when he saw Wei Ba take the initiative to mention it, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Well, my father and son proposed a Meridian Valley Jihua to Zhuge Liang, and used 10,000 people to pass through the Meridian Valley and attack Chang'an. He disagreed, so ...... Fell out. ”
"Through the Meridian Valley?" Tian Fu was stunned for a moment, couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed: "General, you really dare to think about this." ”
"You mean I'm whimsical, right?"
"Don't dare." Tian Fu closed his mouth in embarrassment, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"Actually, it's just whimsical." Wei Ba carefully turned the horse in front of him: "At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I thought that this was a good plan to win by surprise. Zhuge Liang was not allowed, so I repeatedly admonished him, bent on convincing him. It wasn't until I escaped to Guanzhong through the Meridian Valley and walked the plank road myself that I realized how ridiculous I was. ”
Tian Fu didn't speak, but it was clear in his eyes that he very much agreed with Wei Ba's conclusion. Sending troops from Meridian Valley? It's ridiculous too. Not to mention anything else, if you want to pass this road, you must first repair the plank road, as long as you repair the plank road, this soldier will not be surprised. Although the Meridian Pass is dilapidated, there will be people who will take a look at it every few days, unless you can repair this plank road overnight, Chang'an will have enough time to react.
However, Tian Fu didn't know that this plank road was not naturally damaged at all, and when Wei Ba fled, although this plank road was dilapidated, he could barely walk. The reason why I can't even see a single piece of wood now is that Zhuge Liang arranged for someone to clean it up, in order to repair it again, of course. Wei Ba brought Tian Fu and the others here to see, that is, to make them believe that the Meridian Valley was impassable at all, and completely relaxed their vigilance.
"Yes, but the stone in the Meridian Pass can still be used." Wei Ba pointed to the wood under his feet again: "These woods can also be removed and used to strengthen the city wall, or used as firewood, boiling gold juice, and used as a tool to defend the city." ”
Tian Fu nodded again and again: "This is a good reason, the general is high." ”
