Of course, Xiahou Hui didn't run away, he was carried into the bath bucket by Wei Ba and took a fragrant mandarin duck bath. Maybe it was because he was said to be in his mind, and he was a little weak-hearted, Wei Ba worked harder and harder, until Xiahou Hui's body was soft as crisp, panting like crying, and then the clouds dispersed and the rain fell.

But it's strange to say, Wei Ba still didn't feel sleepy, he wanted to pull Xiahou Hui to talk, but Xiahou Hui really couldn't resist the sleepiness like a mountain, and waved his arms weakly and said: "The concubine is not good, husband, you go to find the bell and let her wait for you." ”

Wei Ba was so angry that he laughed: "You think I'm a stallion?" I want to discuss today's matter with you, I always feel that the prime minister ......" He said halfway, Xiahou Hui had already closed his eyes, and he didn't know if he was really asleep or too sleepy to open his eyes. Wei Ba opened his mouth, but still gave up, put the thin quilt on her smooth back, got up and got out of bed, gently pushed the door open, and the bright moonlight sneaked in, illuminating the water trails on the ground.

"Husband......" Xiahou Hui called out vaguely: "People's hearts are unpredictable, people's words are untrustworthy, if you want to judge them, you must first watch their deeds." Words and deeds are consistent, Fang is a gentleman, duplicitous, and a villain. ”

Wei Ba thoughtfully, glanced at Xiahou Hui curled up in the thin quilt, and gently closed the door. He walked out into the courtyard, stretched out his arms, let out a long breath, and played two more cloud hands, and then slowly calmed down from the aftermath of passion.

The clear moonlight shines through the sparse bamboo shadow and sprinkles on the smooth bluestone slab, creating a layer of clear light like water. The early summer nights are cool, and the thinness of several green bamboos adds a bit of a cool atmosphere. Wei Ba sat down under the porch, looking at the green bamboos in the corner. I was a little distracted for a while.

The bamboo is newly moved, green and thin, but the thickness of a finger, each bamboo leaf is full of fresh green, gently swaying in the night wind, like whispering, like murmuring. It's not as high as the wall, but every twig points to the sky, looking forward to seeing the wider shijie over the wall. Accept the baptism of wind and rain.

Wei Ba sat on the railing. Looking at that clump of Hsinchu, I had a lot of thoughts for a while. Today's scene in the Prime Minister's Mansion was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he didn't know what kind of means Zhuge Liang used to make Ma Tan change his mind. Ma Jian replaced Yang Yi. It has become the long history of the Prime Minister's Mansion. actually took over Xiang Lang's position. When Xiang Lang was in the long history. It is in name only, and Ma Yan's long history immediately came into contact with the most core secret, and this long history is a real long history. The weight of the weight is not the same.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in charge of Jiang Wan and Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi is the chief of the palace, but the real Jiang Wan is not a long history, but a member of the army. Now that Zhuge Liang is back, he naturally wants to return to the position of joining the army, and Ma Jian is the chief historian, and he has become the second person below Zhuge Liang, which is more important than Jiang Wan's identity.

Ma Tan was not killed as in history, he proved his ability with his military exploits, proved his worth, won the position of long history, and consolidated his position in Zhuge Liang's mind. I'm afraid it's not all, he may have become the next prime minister in Zhuge Liang's mind, if it weren't for that, Ma Jian wouldn't have changed his mind so quickly.

Ma Tan's ability is stronger than Jiang Wan, and he is four or five years older, with Zhuge Liang's physical condition, if he dies within ten years, Ma Jian is in the prime of life, and he happens to take over and replace Jiang Wan to become the second prime minister of Shu Han. From Shu Han's point of view, it is not yet known whether it is a blessing or a curse, but Wei Ba knows that it should be good news for the Wei family.

However, it is only good, and it is definitely not good news. Whether it is good or bad depends on the mood of Ma Jian himself. Fate being in the hands of others is certainly not something to be happy about. And from the point of view of absolute liliang, Ma Jian was originally Zhuge Liang's confidant and strategist, and it took so much effort to separate them, and now they are back together, and Ma Jian has become stronger, which is obviously not a good thing.

What worries Wei Ba even more is Zhuge Liang.

Since returning to Chengdu yesterday, Zhuge Liang has shown great sincerity, traveling in the same car, and holding a banquet to catch the wind, showing his importance to his young junior everywhere. There was only one person who enjoyed such an honor before, and that was Fei Yi. When Zhuge Liang triumphed in the south, many ministers went to greet him, and Fei Yi was just a Huangmen squire at that time, and he was not worth mentioning in the crowd of greetings, but Zhuge Liang only invited Fei Yi to ride with him, which suddenly made Fei Yi famous. Fei Yi came to Yizhou because his clan father Boren was the nephew of Liu Zhang's mother, so he was branded with the Dongzhou department, and his career was not smooth.

If he wanted to, it was entirely possible for him to become Fei Yi's second, or even more proud than Fei Yi. Fei Yi just rode with Cheng, and he not only rode with Cheng, but also enjoyed the treatment of being sent home by the prime minister in a special car, which was an honor that no one had ever enjoyed.

If he is willing to bow to Zhuge Liang and accept Zhuge Liang's arrangement, he should have a smoother career than Fei Yi.

However, all this is based on Zhuge Liang's sincerity, if this is not the case at all, then it is the opposite, the heavier Zhuge Liang's courtesy, the greater the danger it contains.

Liao Li, who has been deposed, and Li Yan, who has not yet been deposed, are both precedents. Before Liao Li was deposed, Zhuge Liang once stood with Pang Tong and praised him as a good talent of Chu. And Meng Da also revealed that Zhuge Liang praised Li Yan in his letters, saying that he was "partially like a stream, taking advantage of the stagnation", these two people were also courteous to Zhuge Liang, but the result was very unexpected.

What kind of person will I be? Is it Fei Yi, or Liao Li and Li Yan?

Wei Ba hesitated. People's hearts are as deep as the sea, and the thoughts of a master like Zhuge Liang are even more complex and difficult to guess. Wei Ba does not have such self-confidence, and he can grasp Zhuge Liang's psychology in place. If Zhuge Liang is sincere, and he guesses wrong, it is a great opportunity to lose. And if Zhuge Liang is just an expedient measure, but he takes it as true, then Liao Li and Li Yan are his role models.

Gain and loss, honor and disgrace, rise and fall, are all between this thought, how can you not be cautious?

Wei Ba looked at the slender bamboo branches swaying in the night breeze and was silent.

……

Zhuge Fuzhong. Zhuge Liang suddenly sat up, sitting in the dark, gasping for breath.

Huang Yueying was awakened, and she also sat up, and her hand touched Zhuge Liang's back, and she couldn't help but be surprised. Her palm not only touched Zhuge Liang's ribs, but also touched a cold sweat.

"Husband, have a nightmare?"

"I didn't dream, but somehow, I suddenly had a palpitation."

Huang Yueying sighed silently. Reaching out and caressing Zhuge Liang's chest. Zhuge Liang lowered his head. Holding Madame's hand, feeling the calluses on her hands, turning her head to look at Huang Yueying's old face, a wave of guilt welled up in her heart.

"A-Ying. Follow me. You're tired. The dignified wife of the Prime Minister. But like peasant women, they have to pick mulberry and raise silkworms, reel silk and weave cloth. ”

"It's my own choice, what's the burden." Huang Yueying smiled gently. "I'm just physically hard, but you're physically and mentally exhausted, much more tired than me. I'm really worried about you. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and covered Huang Yueying's hand in the palm of his hand: "I'm fine, the situation has been tense recently, and there are more affairs." Now that Youchang is back, he can help me a lot, and I will be able to relax in the future and have time to spend more time with you and Zhan. ”

"What about Wei Ba?" Huang Yueying said lightly: "Can he comprehend your hard work like Ma Tan and help you share it?" ”

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Today's talks are not going well, he is willing to give up his false name, but he is not willing to go to Dongwu Daoqian." I think he means that he is afraid that he will be unkind to his future career. ”

"So, he still doesn't believe you and is worried that you will not be good for him?"

"Well, that's how I feel. I don't know Weishenme, he is young, but there is a high wall in his heart, and he refuses to trust me easily. ”

"Well, it's really a self-righteous person who doesn't know how to lift." Huang Yueying snorted angrily.

"No, this may ...... He can't be blamed. Zhuge Liang said faintly: "Being young is not a thing to be happy about." We were younger, too. ”

"Can't blame him, can I blame you?" Huang Yueying was angry and funny, and glanced at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was a little distracted for a while, as if he saw Huang Yueying, the elf and ghost when he was young, and just wanted to say something, but when he saw the wrinkles at the corners of Huang Yueying's eyes, he came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.

"Ah Ying, weren't we the same back then, our eyes were above the top, and we thought that we were heroes in the world, as long as there was a chance, it would be easy to stabilize the country? But if you look at the present, the state affairs are difficult, and we have tried our best, but we are still struggling, and we no longer have the spirit of the past. ”

"You're really, really old, and you actually boasted about your opponent."

"He's not an opponent." Zhuge Liang shook his head: "He should be a very haode assistant, a good assistant who combines the strengths of Youchang, Gongyan and others." ”

Huang Yueyingqi said: "You think so, is it a bit exaggerated?" ”

"No, Youchang and Gongyan are both talents, but they all have a fatal shortcoming, heavy on power and scheming, and light on skills. Young often used to talk about nothing, so there is the defeat of Longright, after this catastrophe, the heart is determined, and there is a reborn appearance, and the future will enter the phase, not a problem. However, compared with Wei Ba, he still lacks an understanding in terms of skills. In the battle of Xiangyang, our army was able to defeat the strong with the weak and control the heavy with light, relying not only on good strategy, but also on skillful skills. Without the warships built by Wei Ba, we would not have been able to do this. In this regard, the juvenile is often too far behind. As for Gong Yan, he is not even as good as a child, how can he be compared with Wei Ba. ”

"No matter how good Wei Ba's qualifications are, if you don't know the general situation, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you, but will become a young opponent." Huang Yueying's eyebrows were shrouded in a faint layer of worry: "I heard him and Youchang roaring inside today, and I can see that he doesn't even have any respect for Youchang." Even for you, there isn't much reverence to speak of. Such an arrogant offspring, even if you have a hard heart, he is unwilling to accept it, what can you do? ”

Zhuge Liang sighed and frowned. He looked at the silhouettes of the old bamboos on the edge of the window, and Zhuge Qiao's young and docile face appeared in front of him, and suddenly turned into Wei Ba, who seemed to be humble but was actually full of doubts, and the two appeared alternately, and his heart couldn't help but be full of desolation and speechless for a long time.

The moonlight is like frost, and the night is cold. (To be continued......)
