"You know where I'm there?" Zhao Yun looked at Wei Ba, his eyes were calm, but with an indescribable warmth.

"I can roughly guess what the prime minister can do." Wei Ba said very sincerely: "If my guess is right, my father and the general are probably also there." ”

"Well, there's also Da Honglu Du Qiong." Zhao Yun stroked his snow-white beard, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. "If it weren't for Uncle Chen's absence in Chengdu, I think he should also be on the list."

"That's it." Wei Ba laughed silently, with a faint sneer: "The prime minister must feel very sad, none of the I he can use to deal with now is his own henchman." ”

"But you still won't give him this chance." Zhao Yun forced Wei Ba's eyes: "Weishenme? ”

Wei Ba met Zhao Yun's gaze, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled. "Master, I remember that you taught me that when fighting the enemy, the most taboo thing is to fight on the battlefield chosen by the opponent, and to do everything possible to meet the enemy on the battlefield chosen by the enemy. If you want to defeat the enemy, you can't help but fight for the situation, and sometimes you have to pay a certain price for the sake of the situation. ”

Zhao Yun looked at Wei Ba quietly, without saying a word, and when Wei Ba finished speaking, he continued: "Do you know what the prime minister wants to say to you?" ”

Wei Ba exhaled a little depressedly, Zhao Yun was determined that Qingshan would not relax, no matter how he messed up, he must ask that sentence.

"I don't know, but I can roughly guess."

"And how are you going to answer?"

"If the prime minister asked, I didn't plan to answer him. I will make him suspicious and suffocate him. Wei Ba straightened up and looked directly at Zhao Yun: "However, since Master wants to ask, I can give you a clear answer." ”

Zhao Yun's eyes tightened, and he involuntarily took a breath. He raised his head and motioned for Wei Ba to wait. Wei Ba nodded, without saying a word, waiting for Zhao Yun to be mentally prepared.

Zhao Yun is old after all, no matter how good his psychological quality is. Don't dare to take it lightly. With his lifelong experience of serving Liu Bei's father and son. It was impossible for him to accept that his disciple would become a usurper and rebel, but he knew very well that the disciple in front of him was definitely not a pure minister, in his eyes. Wei Ba not only has the possibility of usurping the throne. And the possibilities are very high.

He had always wanted to know the answer. But when the answer actually appeared in front of him, he found that he was not ready. If Wei Ba admits that he has the intention of usurping, then what can he do? Gather the spearmen in your home. Kill Wei Ba in the hall?

When he entered the door, he saw that Wei Ba's personal guards left outside were not numerous, and if he wanted to kill Wei Ba, he should be six or seven percent sure. However, should he really kill Wei Ba? He wasn't sure. He knew very well that Wei Ba had come to this point, not entirely his own responsibility, to some extent, he was forced to this step by Zhuge Liang. At the beginning, Wei Ba had no ambition at all, otherwise he would not have accepted him as a disciple and taught him the way of using soldiers and martial arts.

After a long while, Zhao Yun said slowly: "Ziyu, say it." ”

"Master, are you sure?" The corners of Wei Ba's mouth were slightly raised, a little more naughty. When Zhao Yun saw it, his heart was inexplicably relieved, and he couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, although I am old, I can still afford it." ”

"That's good, I'm afraid of scaring Master." Wei Ba pretended to pat his chest. "Master, I don't dare to say that it's far away, I can only say that so far, I have little interest in that position. However, I can only guarantee that no one can guarantee what will happen so far and in the future. I don't think you would believe it, even if I promised it. ”

Zhao Yun's pale eyebrows trembled slightly. Wei Ba's answer was not what he expected. In his opinion, Wei Ba's answer has two possibilities, either yes or no, even if Wei Ba admits to his face that he has a disobedient heart, he will only feel disappointed, not surprised. Maybe Wei Ba denied it, but he would suspect that Wei Ba was sincere.

But Wei Ba gave him such an answer.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and had to admit that although Wei Ba's answer did not satisfy him, it was sincere enough. If Wei Ba wanted to lie to him, he could have said it more beautifully, and there was no need to leave such a painless aftermath.

"Do you want to be king, then?"

"Yes." Wei Ba nodded without thinking.

Zhao Yun looked at Wei Ba and waited for Wei Ba to give him an explanation.

"Master, judging from the current situation, do you think it is appropriate to cut the domain?"

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"According to the master's opinion, it is easier to force Cao Rui to go to the emperor on the condition of recognizing the prince of Cao Wei, or is it easier to kill Cao Wei completely?"

Zhao Yun stroked his beard and muttered for a long time: "If you have to compare, it should be easier to retain the title of King of Wei." ”

"In that case, then I can't be king?" Wei Ba spread his hands: "King Wu can keep Wu County as a fief, King Wei can keep Wei County or Qian County as a fief, I Weishenme can't ask for a desert island as a fief?" If I am the king, it will only reassure Sun Quan and Cao Rui, and I can speed up the unification of the world, why not? ”

"However, as soon as this case is opened, I am afraid that it will ......"

"I'm afraid that I will lose out on righteousness?" Wei Ba sneered: "Master, do you really believe in those so-called righteousness? Do you believe it or not, if one day I really have the strength to usurp the throne on behalf of the Han, there will be countless people who will take the initiative to make up a prophecy for me and contribute to auspiciousness? ”

"This ......" Zhao Yun was speechless.

Wei Ba's calmness was certainly his trust in him and respect for him, but it also pushed him to a desperate situation. It's not like he doesn't know what's going on. As Wei Ba said, if there is a day, the so-called morality is simply a lie that deceives oneself and others. How Liu Bei established himself as the king of Hanzhong, how he called himself the emperor, and how many auspicious rui appeared before Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, are all living examples. Living to his age, although he still hopes that there is morality in the world, but if he really believes that morality is invincible, then his seventy years can be regarded as in vain.

Righteousness and profit have always been an indescribable proposition, no matter how righteous and strict the words are, but when they are implemented in reality, in the face of real benefits, righteousness is always so powerless, ethereal, and vulnerable.

Zhao Yun sighed and waved his hand: "Ziyu, I'm old and weak. However, I really don't want to see the fire of the great man extinguished in front of my eyes, and I hope you don't dash my hope. When I close my eyes and what the destiny is, I won't be able to care so much. ”

Wei Ba smiled slightly: "Master, I can guarantee this." He smiled and said, "I hope you can live to be 100 years old and see the unification of the world and the peace of the country and the people." ”

Zhao Yun laughed dumbly and shook his head again and again. "Life is rare for seventy years, I am already in my seventies, I am satisfied, and I dare not expect too much. Being old and not dying is a thief, and I don't want to be an old thief. ”

"How can Master be an old thief, Master is Renrui."

Zhao Yun laughed for a while, and sighed again: "So, the war in Liaodong is inevitable?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Ba also became serious and nodded: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in chaos for fifty years, and it will be the year of Jiazi again, I hope to end the war before this, return the world to peace, let the people live in peace first, and turn the sentence 'The year is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious' into reality." I don't have the ability to eradicate the power and profit in the court, I just hope that these things can be controlled in the court and not affect the lives of ordinary people. They have not benefited from it and should not be implicated. ”

Hearing the eight words "years in Jiazi, the world is auspicious", Zhao Yun was gloomy and sighed inexplicably.

……

Zhuge Manor, Zhuge Liang was carried into the gate by a soft chariot, through the courtyard, all the way to the backyard.

Huang Yueying commanded the servants, helped Zhuge Liang to lie down on the bed, waved his hand to rebuke the servants, sat on the side of Zhuge Liang's sickbed, held Zhuge Liang's dry hand in the palm of his hand, and silently looked at the exhausted Zhuge Liang, motionless.

Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Pan stood aside, tears on their little faces.

"Madame, I'm really old." Zhuge Liang slowly opened his eyes and sighed faintly: "Not only is the body old, but the mind is also old." ”

"You've done your best." Huang Yueying patted Zhuge Liang's hand: "Don't think too much, recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"But my business...... It's not done yet. ”

"Then you should recuperate with peace of mind." Huang Yueying said reproachfully: "With you now, what else can you do?" ”

"Madam......" Zhuge Liang turned his head and looked at Huang Yueying expectantly: "I want to see Wei Ba, I want him to promise me personally." ”

"You want to see him, but he doesn't necessarily want to see you." Huang Yueying's eyebrows frowned slightly, "You moved back from the palace, wouldn't it be just to see him?" Do you really think that if he promises you, everything will be fine? ”

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but his eyes had already revealed his thoughts. Wei Ba's performance today was beyond his expectations, and the sense of foreboding in his heart became stronger and stronger. When Zhao Yun and the others left, he was almost disheartened. It wasn't until Wei Yan knelt in front of him that he realized that there was still a glimmer of hope for Zuihou.

He is like a drowning man clinging to a straw, knowing that it will be useless and refuses to give up easily, knowing that words are like the wind, and oaths are lies, he still hopes to hear Wei Ba's promise.

Now even this unreliable promise seems so slim, Wei Ba refused to see him at all, and finally met easily, but Wei Ba didn't give him a chance to speak, and with a mess of punches, he made a mess of his carefully planned game.

However, the more this is the case, the stronger his desire to meet Wei Ba and convince Wei Ba. Wei Ba's mental scheming is incomparable to Jiang Wei, if he can be persuaded to give up those ideas that he shouldn't have, his ability is enough to support the sky of the Han Dynasty, and Li Yan and his ilk are not worth worrying about at all. And if he is allowed to develop like this, the extinguishing of the fire of the Han Dynasty will be inevitable.

He wants to stop this catastrophe from happening, at all costs...... (To be continued......)
