Wei Ba had just gone to bed, and before he could close his eyes, he received the news that Xiahou Mao was willing to surrender. However, something happened unexpectedly, Xiahou Mao could surrender, but Jianzhang Palace was still in the hands of Jingzhao Taishou Yan Fei, so Wei Ba just got Weiyang Palace.

Facing the nervous gaze of the envoy sent by Xiahou Mao, Wei Ba groaned slightly, and then replied affirmatively: Yes.

Early the next morning, in order to ensure that Xiahou Mao would not temporarily change his hexagram, Zhao Yun led 2,000 soldiers to stay to help Wei Ba in the field when the army had already moved towards Feng Yi. When Xiahou Mao and Princess Qinghe walked out of the gate of Weiyang Palace under the protection of more than 500 soldiers, Zhao Yun accepted the surrender as the general of Shu Han Zhendong and immediately sent people to control Weiyang Palace.

After entering the big tent, Wei Ba came out and bowed down to Xiahou Mao: "Dudu, princess, don't come unharmed?" ”

Xiahou Mao glanced at Wei Ba and lowered his head, he hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any hostility at this moment. Princess Qinghe looked at Wei Ba viciously: "Shaft, you can't die well." ”

Wei Ba smiled disapplausively: "Princess, whether you die well or not, you and I are going to die, and besides, I can guarantee that if you hear it again that makes me unhappy, you will not die well immediately." ”

Princess Qinghe's face turned pale, she closed her mouth tightly, and didn't dare to say another word.

"Send the princess to rest." Wei Ba waved his hand and unceremoniously issued an order to evict the guest: "In addition, please invite Miss Xiahou to come, I have something to discuss with her." ”

Two guards stepped forward and sent Princess Qinghe and her personal maid out.

Wei Ba invited Xiahou Mao to take a seat, and Xiahou Mao sat down tremblingly, hesitating in his actions, like an old man in his last years. Wei Ba looked at him, his mood indescribably complicated. Xiahou Mao is actually not a bad person, if you abandon the relationship between friend and foe. This person is actually quite good, gentle to others, except for some lust and greed for money. There are not too many evil deeds, and he is a bad and good person who is afraid of his wife. It's just that providence makes people, and it is precisely because of his character that he has become the target of his father and son, Meridian Valley Jihua.

Ultimately. If it weren't for Xiahou Mao's incompetence, Meridian Valley Jihua would have no reason to exist, and he would have changed to anyone who was a little vigilant. will not be so careless, and will not easily surrender and give up Chang'an. If you can't quickly conquer Chang'an and capture Guanzhong, it will become an unrealistic empty talk.

It didn't take long for Xiahou Hui to come and see Xiahou Mao's appearance. She sighed silently and sat down silently.

Wei Ba looked at the two of them, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "I once promised Miss Xiahou that as long as they all abandon the city. Whether you are willing to surrender or not, I welcome it. If the governor wants to return to Luoyang, I will send the carriage and horses to ensure that the general is safe. ”

Xiahou Mao nodded blankly, but Xiahou Hui became vigilant: "Then now you want to change your mind when you join the army?" ”

Wei Ba smiled: "It's not that I want to change the hexagram, I just want to make a little compensation to the governor." He said sincerely: "I believe that the governor also understands that if the governor leaves Chang'an and returns to Luoyang now, what will you face." ”

Xiahou Mao shuddered, and his face turned even paler. Xiahou Hui frowned slightly: "What do you want to do if you join the army?" ”

"I didn't think about it, I just suggested that the governor wait in Chang'an, and when I thwarted the counterattack of your Cao Wei army and made them helpless, then the governor would come forward and bring my sincerity. In this way, the governor may be able to take some credit and make up for the mistakes in the loss of the pass. ”

Before Xiahou Mao could react, Xiahou Hui stood up: "You want to be treacherous and detain us?" ”

"Nope." Wei Ba categorically vetoed: "I just suggest that if the governor wants to leave now, I can prepare a carriage and horses for you now." ”

Xiahou Hui looked at Wei Ba puzzled, she was a little confused. Judging from Wei Ba's expression, he didn't seem to have the intention of forcing them to stay, and asked Xiahou Mao to wait for a while before leaving, and when Cao Wei's army couldn't attack for a long time and fell into a stalemate, Xiahou Mao went to Luoyang as a liaison person, which was indeed much better than now. It's just that there is a premise for doing this, that is, Wei Ba can hold Guanzhong and make the army sent by Luoyang helpless.

Where did he get this confidence?

"Joining the army seems too self-righteous, right?"

"Am I self-righteous, I think if the girl stays, she will have a chance to see it. I think of a piece of good intentions for the sake of the governor, also out of the bottom of my heart, the girl is a smart person, I think you don't need me to say more, you can understand the difference between going now and going later. Hello haode, if you still decide to leave now, I will arrange the carriage and horses immediately. ”

Wei Ba said as he stood up: "Now, I'm in a bit of a hurry to do. I wonder if the girl can lead the way? ”

"Where to go?"

"Go to the place where you held Peng Xiaoyu."

Xiahou Hui was silent for a moment: "Okay." ”

……

Peng Xiaoyu lay motionless in the dirty haystack, a dozen flies fluttering around her, making a "buzzing" sound, sucking the blood from her wounds. Her clothes had become strips of rags, revealing blood-stained flesh. Her loose hair was also covered with blood, and it was knotted one by one, and it was scattered over her face, blocking her countenance.

Looking at Peng Xiaoyu, who was only half a breath more than a dead corpse, Wei Ba stood there, not knowing what to do for a while. He had long expected that Peng Xiaoyu would be miserable, but he didn't expect Peng Xiaoyu to die. He hesitated for a moment, squatted down, knelt beside Peng Xiaoyu on one leg, and reached out to brush the hair covering Peng Xiaoyu's face.

The blue spot on Peng Xiaoyu's face was exposed, and it was not as eye-catching as usual against the backdrop of blood.

Wei Ba covered his mouth with one hand and lowered his head, feeling guilty.

Xiahou Hui stood outside the cell door, looked at Peng Xiaoyu inside, remembered his miserable time in the dungeon of Hewu, and couldn't help but feel a burst of shock. She knew that compared to Peng Xiaoyu's situation, she was actually much luckier, at least Wei Ba didn't beat her, but Peng Xiaoyu was beaten half to death, and she was the one who ordered the execution. However, she didn't know Weishenme, but she was now a little jealous of Peng Xiaoyu.

She looked at Wei Ba, who was half-kneeling on the ground, although she couldn't see his expression, but from his body posture, she could see that he was very uncomfortable now.

Xiahou Hui pursed his lips. She felt that Wei Ba's grief for a servant, even an unusual handmaiden, was not what a manly husband should do, just as her father, Xiahou Shang, died of grief for a concubine. Laugh at people. But she couldn't help but envy Peng Xiaoyu and the concubine who took away her father, because someone was sad for them.

"You don't have to feel guilty. She also hurt you, and she reported it back. Xiahou Hui suddenly said: "What's more, she also hurt you twice." ”

Wei Ba didn't speak. He untied the big scarf on his body, carefully wrapped it around Peng Xiaoyu's body, picked her up, and hurriedly walked out. As he walked, he said to Dunwu: "Call the healer, call the most haode healer, let them all come!" ”

Xiahou Hui looked at Wei Ba, who was rushing away with Peng Xiaoyu in his arms. Stunned, unaware that she had suddenly become an unguarded free man. There was contempt and shock in her heart, and there was even more indescribable anger, and a little bit of loss.

Wei Ba hugged Peng Xiaoyu and ran all the way back to the camp, carefully putting Peng Xiaoyu on the couch. Peng Xiaoyu shrunk into a ball, her eyebrows frowning tightly. It seems to be enduring great pain. Wei Ba hesitated, gritted his teeth, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and carefully cut her clothes. The clothes were in tatters, and blood had been stained on the wounds in many places. With a slight pull, Peng Xiaoyu groaned in pain. It took Wei Ba a lot of effort to cut all the clothes on her back.

Looking at the criss-crossed, inflamed and purulent wounds, as well as the maggots moving inside, Wei Ba gasped. The doctors who had just arrived couldn't help but be stunned, looking at each other, beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"Can it still be saved?" Wei Ba said in a dry voice.

"We ...... Exert oneself. The doctors' voices were also a little hoarse.

"You must do your best." Wei Ba patted the healer's shoulder: "I beg you." ”

"Join the army, we ...... We'll do our best. The healer was about to burst into tears, and his voice trembled. He didn't know if Wei Ba would kill Peng Xiaoyu if he died.

"Please." Wei Baqiang laughed, walked out of the big tent, sat on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and closed his eyes.

Xiahou Hui walked over slowly, stood aside, and looked at Wei Ba at a loss, as if looking at a stranger. It has been half a year since she first saw Wei Ba at the gate of Chang'an City, and it has been the first time she has seen Wei Ba so helpless. In her eyes, Wei Ba has always been a cautious tiger, always vigilant against everything around her, seemingly gentle, but actually very dangerous. After Hewu, he was less vigilant, more confident, more calm, and more general-like, but now he was full of fear and worry.

Xiahou Hui even felt that if she pulled out her knife and stabbed Wei Ba now, there was a fifty percent chance of succeeding. But strangely, she didn't even have the slightest idea of assassination.

"She's not going to die." Xiahou Hui lowered his head and twisted his clothes. "She is like a weed, although it is trampled to rot, as long as the roots are still there, she will not die."

Wei Ba slowly let go of his hand, revealing a pair of slightly reddened eyes, looking at Xiahou Hui fixedly. After a few moments, he whispered, "Xiexie! ”

"Thank me for what?" Xiahou Huiqiang smiled: "She was so seriously injured because of me." ”

"Xiexie, you comfort me." Wei Ba sniffed, paused, and said, "You still want to lie about you." If you hadn't said she betrayed me, I wouldn't have known she was so strong, as strong as a little grass. ”

Xiahou Hui frowned: "She doesn't know about your deception?" ”

"Since she's just a shell I use to deceive people, how can I know the truth." Wei Ba smiled gloomily: "I never told her, but you said that she recruited me, then there is only one possibility, either you lie, or she lies." Now seeing her injuries so badly, I think you must be lying. ”

Xiahou Hui was silent for a moment, stopped talking, and pursed his lips a little weakly.
