Chapter 249: Exquisite Heart
Xiahou Mao slowly crossed his fists in the courtyard, a pair of snow-white sleeves like two white auspicious clouds, slowly dancing in front of his eyes, his expression was elegant, like a fairy.
Princess Qinghe held on to the railing and looked at Xiahou Mao, who was immersed in it, and was a little distracted for a while. After the most difficult days passed, Xiahou Mao, who was accustomed to the life of a captive, has now calmly accepted this state, without the responsibilities of the general of Zhengxi and the governor of Guanzhong, and without the opportunity to make money, and without the temptation of those enchanting and beautiful maids, Xiahou Mao settled down, practiced boxing every day, played chess, read books, and enjoyed the scenery of Shanglin Yuan, quiet and comfortable, in Chang'an, and his heart was in the mountains and forests.
After a few months of recuperation, his face became ruddy, he walked with a sense of wind, his voice was bright, and his temper was much better. Occasionally, when Princess Qinghe was in a bad mood, he could still persuade her calmly. Unconsciously, the relationship between husband and wife, who were somewhat rusty, also became intimate.
Xiahou Mao was practicing boxing wholeheartedly, Princess Qinghe looked at Xiahou Mao, Xiahou Hui looked at Princess Qinghe, covered his mouth and smiled.
Princess Qinghe shook the Xiahou emblem with the handkerchief in her hand, and said angrily: "It's going to be the New Year in the prisoner camp, are you still in the mood to laugh?" ”
Xiahou Hui said with a smile: "Princess, don't be impatient, this day may come to an end soon." ”
Princess Qinghe didn't smile, but sighed softly, and looked at Xiahou Mao's eyes with a little more worry. Cao Rui personally sat in Wancheng, and the general Cao Zhen and the hussar general Sima Yi attacked Tongguan and Wuguan at the same time, but they have not been able to enter Guanzhong. In this battle, the Wei State has been difficult to ride a tiger, and the loss of Guanzhong is almost a foregone conclusion, and the culprit is the comfortable governor of Guanzhong.
When he returns to Luoyang in the future, how will Xiahou Mao deal with himself? This is a problem that Princess Qinghe has always been worried about. With such a big shame on his back, it will be difficult for him to have another chance to be a leader. That was the end of his career.
At this time, Princess Qinghe suddenly began to miss Wei Balai. Wei Ba once said that as long as Xiahou Mao was willing to stay. There will be a chance to return to Luoyang with dignity. Now, her only hope falls on Wei Ba, and the scenery is beautiful. She didn't think that as long as she could make Xiahou Mao not so miserable, she would be satisfied.
Just thought of Wei Ba. Xiahou Hui suddenly tugged at Princess Qinghe's sleeve and pointed into the distance. Princess Qinghe followed her finger and saw a young man in a brocade robe riding a majestic white horse, escorted by several fierce warriors, galloping from a distance like a gust of wind. Running to the door, they reined in the war horses in unison, and the war horse people stood up. The two front hooves kicked twice in the air, and the young man on horseback had already flown off the horse, threw the reins of the horse to the guards, and walked in in the shape of a dragon and a tiger.
Comer. It was the Wei Ba who made her hate and miss it.
Princess Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uneasy: "The war in Longyou is over?" ”
Xiahou Hui stopped laughing, nodded silently, and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid the ending is not good for my Great Wei." ”
Princess Qinghe snorted and became nervous.
Wei Ba strode into the door, and when he saw Xiahou Mao practicing boxing, he couldn't help but praise: "The general is really a fairy, and the hope is overwhelming." ”
Xiahou Mao glanced at him, slowly collected his hand, rubbed his hands, and said unhurriedly: "Joining the army is busy with military affairs, otherwise, you can also consult with me." ”
Wei Bahaha smiled, raised his head, looked at Princess Qinghe and Xiahou Hui, and shouted loudly: "Princess, Miss Xiahou, don't come unharmed?" ”
Princess Qinghe snorted and turned back to her room. Xiahou Hui paused, and hurriedly followed, closing the door with his hand, but standing outside the door, listening attentively.
"If you want to see him, just go out and see him, why be so sneaky?" Princess Qinghe scolded dissatisfiedly.
"Princess, where do you want to go?" Xiahou Hui blushed, stomped his feet and said: "Wei Ba returned from Longyou, and he looked for his uncle as soon as he came, obviously there was something important. If I don't listen, how can I guess the clue? ”
Princess Qinghe was speechless, but she still muttered two sentences unconvinced. Xiahou Hui didn't care about her, pricked up his ears, and listened to Xiahou Mao and Wei Ba talking outside.
"General, I just returned from Longyou." Wei Ba slapped his palms with a horsewhip and said lightly.
"Then joining the army must be invincible, and all of them will be right?"
"Is that really what the general wants?"
Xiahou Mao kept silent, of course he didn't want to, he was sarcastic about Wei Ba. However, looking at Wei Ba's expression, the war in Longyou must be unfavorable to Wei.
"In fact, the battle situation in Longyou is not very good for us, except that Shangqi is still in our hands, Zhang He has recovered the entire Longyou." Wei Ba smiled silently: "Of course, this is only temporary, it is only a matter of time before the land in Longyou falls into our hands." ”
Xiahou Mao rubbed his hands and remained silent. Xiahou Hui behind the door listened, but he touched his chest with his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When Princess Qinghe saw it, she hurriedly came over, lowered her voice and asked, "We won?" ”
Xiahou Hui replied softly: "General Zhang has recovered Longyou, and only Shangqi is still in the hands of Reverse Shu." However......" her eyes darkened, "it is not a good thing for the battle situation in Guanzhong. ”
Princess Qinghe was puzzled, and was about to ask, when Wei Ba's voice sounded outside again.
"My prime minister has led an army of 50,000 into Guanzhong, except for leaving 20,000 people to guard the western front, the others will be used to strengthen the eastern defense line." Wei Ba laughed: "General, I think, you will be able to go home soon." ”
Princess Qinghe was stunned, she understood where Xiahou Hui's worries came from. Zhuge Liang's 50,000 main forces entered Guanzhong and strengthened the defense of Tongguan and Wuguan, so it was even more impossible for Wei to enter Guanzhong. Wei Ba said that Xiahou Mao could go home soon, and naturally it was for this reason.
Princess Qinghe and Xiahou Hui exchanged a look, and they both saw frustration in each other's eyes.
The same was true of Xiahou Mao outside the door, he raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, speechless for a long time.
Wei Ba knew that Xiahou Mao was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't bother him, turned around and went upstairs, stood still in front of the door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. Xiahou Mao behind the door was startled when he heard his footsteps coming up, and when he heard the knock on the door, his face turned a little white, and he looked at Princess Qinghe nervously.
Princess Qinghe was also a little nervous, but after all, she was older, and she was used to being a prisoner for a few months, and the brute force that was not afraid of heaven and earth was still there. She waved her hand and shouted: "Open the door, where are you afraid of him?" ”
The maid stepped forward and opened the door, revealing Wei Ba's grinning face.
"Wei joins the army, what are you doing?" Princess Qinghe said coldly, stopping in front of Xiahou Hui, like a hen guarding her chicks.
Wei Ba couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw them looking like they were facing a great enemy. He was stunned for a moment, touched his nose with self-deprecation, and said with a smile: "I...... Is it so scary? ”
Xiahou Hui also calmed down, walked out from behind Princess Qinghe, and bowed: "I don't know what to tell to join the army?" ”
"Oh, I can't talk about the order, I just have some questions, and I want to ask Miss Xiahou for advice."
"Questions?" Xiahou Hui asked puzzledly: "Joining the army is very shrewd, and his subordinates can come out in large numbers, what kind of problems do you need my help?" ”
Wei Ba smiled awkwardly. He is shrewd, but his shrewdness is to figure out people's hearts, to make machinery, and in learning, he is very white. There are also some people around him who read a lot, but he just wanted to ask Xiahou Hui, in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Xiahou Hui. After fighting for several months, it is really annoying to watch some big men every day. Gossiping with pretty girls can help ease your mood. Daily reflection has allowed him to get rid of a lot of bad problems, but he still hasn't changed the problem of liking beautiful girls.
Seeing that Wei Ba didn't speak, Xiahou Hui also understood a little, two crimson flowers flew on his face, and he turned sideways: "Please join the army, please come in." ”
Wei Ba answered and stepped into the door. Although Princess Qinghe's identity is noble, but now she is a captive, here, Wei Ba is a well-deserved master, so Wei Ba sat down as the chairman, Princess Qinghe refused to condescend, and retreated into the back room, only Xiahou Hui and Xiahou Mao, who came in later, accompanied by her.
"Dare to ask Miss Xiahou, are you familiar with Yanzi's deeds?"
Wei Ba was thinking about Xiang Lang's mystery all the way, and he couldn't guess what Xiang Lang wanted to say to him, so he just used it to ask Xiahou Hui for advice. It doesn't matter if Xiahou Hui can answer it or not, he is just an excuse.
"Yanzi?" Xiahou Hui's eyes flashed: "He is the famous minister of the Qi country, although he is short, but he is very smart, and the most famous allusion is that the two peaches kill the three soldiers." ”
Wei Ba nodded: "Can you ask the girl to tell me about his deeds?" ”
Xiahou Hui did not shirk, so he roughly told Yan Zi's deeds. There are many deeds of Yanzi, and there is "Yanzi Spring and Autumn" handed down, which records a lot of deeds about Yanzi, and it takes a long time to talk about it. Wei Ba couldn't tell Xiahou Hui about Xiang Lang, so he could only listen to Xiahou Hui tell the story and think about it one by one. Xiahou Hui didn't know what he wanted to know, so he could only tell what he knew. This back and forth is really like chatting about nothing, and after a long time, neither side knows what the other party knows.
Wei Ba felt that this was not the way to do it after all, he thought about it for a while, and said to Xiahou Hui: "Xiahou girl, what do you think Yan Zi is a famous person, what is the secret of his success?" ”
"Name?" Xiahou Hui's eyes flashed, as if he had caught something. She pondered for a long time and said with a light smile: "If you want to talk about the secret, of course, he has the trust of Qi Jinggong. He was a loyal servant, but not pedantic. He is still wise but not strong, and he values reality rather than emptiness. Speaking of which, it is somewhat similar to Wei's participation in the army. ”
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself: "The girl has won the award, how dare I compare with Yan Zi." ”
"Otherwise, Yan Zi is also a human being, and joining the army is also a human being." Xiahou Hui slowed down his speech and said word by word: "As long as you are a human being, you have advantages and disadvantages. Take its strengths and attack its shortcomings, but do you know that today's people can't beat the ancients? ”
Wei Ba's eyelids jumped, he glanced at Xiahou Hui, just met Xiahou Hui's smiling gaze, and suddenly felt a feeling of not wearing clothes, so he hurriedly let go.
Xiahou Hui lowered his head and laughed silently.
