Wei Ba was silent for a long time, and then said: "...... say that" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was startled. I don't know when, his voice also became hoarse and dry, and it was extremely ugly. He swallowed and moistened his throat, which made his voice more normal.

"So, I don't think I have a way to prove my innocence?"

"That's true." Ma Tan walked out from behind the tent, he glanced at Zhuge Liang, and his gaze fell on Wei Ba's somewhat pale face. "Whether it is human evidence or physical evidence, it is undoubtedly clear that the murderer is you."

Wei Ba's body shook for a moment, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and he didn't care about Zhuge Liang in front of him, he sat on a case next to him with one butt, stroking the case with one hand and stroking his forehead with the other, and he was in a cold sweat. He doesn't know if this is the retribution that changed history, he just thwarted Sima Yi, so that history did not repeat itself in the original direction, and now he is caught in a murder case, no matter how you look at it, it seems that history does not want him to make trouble again, and he must try his best to get rid of him as a troublemaker and return to the existing track.

I'm the praying mantis who can't help myself. Self-righteous want to go against the sky, is the sky so easy to go against the sky?

Ma Tan walked up to Wei Ba, stretched out his hand to support his shoulder, lowered his head, approached Wei Ba, and said softly: "However, even if everyone doesn't believe it, the prime minister believes you." ”

“weishenme？” Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "Why does the prime minister believe me?" ”

"Because I can't think of any reason for you to kill Acho." Zhuge Liang also walked over, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, took Wei Ba's hand, put the jade pendant in his palm, and slowly rolled up his fingers. Holding the jade pendant with the prime minister's body temperature, Wei Ba suddenly calmed down, and his mind became much clearer.

Yes, I have no motive to kill. How did I forget about this stubble? Killing Zhuge Qiao will only do me harm, but it will not do me any good. Is it just because Zhuge Qiao scolded me a few words that I killed people in anger? This reason sounded reasonable, because according to the temper of his father, Wei Yan, it was likely to be done. But those who are familiar with him Wei Ba know that this is simply impossible.

His temper seems to be very similar to his father's, but in fact, it is very different. Zhuge Cheng knew this very well, otherwise he would not have promoted him and made him the youngest member of the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army.

"This matter, it seems to be aimed at you, but in fact, you are just a tool that has been used, and their real targets are me and your father, General Zhenbei." Zhuge Liang exhaled a long breath, "I am the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand, and the usage is profound, and the people who offend do not know the geometry." And your father has been guarding Hanzhong for many years, and he has thousands of elite troops under him, and he is currently the strongest of the generals in Hanzhong. If this can cause a conflict between me and your father, no matter who wins or loses, some people with bad intentions will be very satisfied. ”

Wei Ba nodded. If Zhuge Liang is a comprehensive representative of the Jingxiang people and the roof of a big house, then the Wei family is a pillar that supports this big house, and it is a relatively thick pillar. If the Wei family falls, it will not be a good thing for the Jingxiang system, at least it will be internal friction, and those who are not Jingxiang will have more opportunities, such as the Dongzhou system and the Bashu family.

Wei Ba raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, his heart full of admiration. Under the blow of the pain of losing his son, he can still maintain such calm, I have to say, this person is really a bit demonic, calm and almost cold-blooded.

"If my guess is correct, your maidservant surnamed Peng must be missing." Zhuge Liang seemed to understand Wei Ba's heart, and the corners of his mouth were picked, revealing a bitter smile.

Wei Ba nodded: "I just went back from the mountain, and I didn't see her." ”

"Do you know who she is?"

"I know that she is Peng Yi's daughter."

"What else?"

Wei Ba was stunned, and only after a while did he ask, "What else?" ”

"Do you know his relationship with Li Miao?"

Wei Ba suddenly realized: "It seems that Li Miao should be her uncle." But she has never been in contact with Li Miao. ”

"It seems that you know a lot, but unfortunately, you still don't pay enough attention to it." Ma Tan pursed his lips: "Three days ago, Li Miao sent someone to your Wei family's camp to look for her, and she followed her to Li Miao's camp. This morning, after you left the camp and came to attend the meeting, Peng Xiaoyu went to see Li Miao again, supposedly with a burden in his hand. If my guess is correct, this piece of jade of yours is in the baggage. ”

Wei Ba was stunned, Peng Xiaoyu had seen Li Miao three days ago? She didn't say a word. In the past, he asked Peng Xiaoyu to meet Li Miao, no matter what, he was his own relative, but Peng Xiaoyu never wanted to go, for fear of getting into a relationship with Li Miao and being implicated by Li Miao in the future. Why did he take the initiative to see him again this time, and he went one after another, and even brought his own jade over?

Could it be that Peng Xiaoyu is really the one who framed herself? Could it be that she stayed by his side in the first place just for this day?

Wei Ba's heart was in a mess, with mixed flavors, and he didn't know what it tasted like. Although he didn't like the blue spot on Peng Xiaoyu's face very much, he often said that he wanted to find a beautiful girl to be a maidservant, and he could warm the bed in the future. But he never actually regarded Peng Xiaoyu as a servant girl - well, part-time nursing at most - to some extent, he even regarded Peng Xiaoyu as a cronie, and he had to discuss everything with her. Unexpectedly, Peng Xiaoyu was deceiving him from beginning to end, and Zuihou also cheated him fiercely.

It's a very bad feeling. Is bullying Lao Tzu a good-natured young man?

Wei Ba was so angry that his eyes became sharp, his snort was a little heavier, his fists were pinched when he didn't know what to do, and his joints gurgled and he could almost crush the jade pendant in his hand.

"Come and don't be rude, I will deal with Li Miao's matter. Now, though, I have something more important to discuss with you. Zhuge Liang gently patted the back of Wei Ba's hand, waking Wei Ba up from disappointment and anger. Wei Ba hurriedly stood up straight: "Please give orders from the prime minister, Wei Ba will never give up." ”

"It's not about death, but it's also very dangerous." Zhuge Liang slowly walked back to his seat, took out an official document and handed it to Wei Ba: "This is a plan formulated according to your suggestion in Tuntian in Hanzhong last time, I have a solution to most of the problems, only one of them, I hope you can complete it, probably only you can complete it." ”

Wei Ba read the document in confusion, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. What was surprising was that Zhuge Liang wanted to arrange the task for him was to go to Chang'an to surrender, break into the Wei army, and find out more detailed arrangements for Cao Wei. The good thing is that this jihua is premised on the implementation of the meridian valley jihua, in other words, although the meridian valley jihua has not been finalized, it has entered Zhuge Liang's consideration.

He immediately understood what Zhuge Liang meant. Zhuge Liang wanted to take advantage of the Bashu people's framing of him this time, and let him go to Chang'an to deceive and surrender, and prepare for Jihua in the Meridian Valley. However, it is very dangerous to be a spy by fraud, and if the other party finds out, there is no way to live. Even if it is martial arts, the other party can easily take your life if they are surrounded by thousands of people and fire arrows in unison. And the other party is not a fool, he will nominally treat those who surrender very favorably, but in fact he is very vigilant, and will not let you have any chance of accessing secrets at all. Some people have surrendered for decades, but they have not been able to be reused, and they have been outside the power layer.

Such people are not uncommon, such as Huang Quan. Yiting was defeated, and he was forced to surrender to Cao Wei, and now it has been five or six years, and he is still idle. Before him, there was also Zhang Lu, who originally occupied Hanzhong, although he worshiped General Zhennan and was named the Marquis of Wanhu, he was actually under house arrest in Luoyang.

Is spying easy to do? It's definitely a high-risk, low-reward job. Zhuge Liang wants him to go, he does trust him and reuse him, but this can't hide the danger.

Could it be that for the trust of the prime minister, I should not hesitate to give my life? Wei Ba didn't think he was so noble. In essence, in his previous life, he had a natural distrust of those in power, and he had long exceeded this kind of hot-blooded age of going to the soup for a word, but he often saw the people of a certain country crying with tears of excitement for the words of a great leader, and reported unreserved contempt.

"Prime Minister, what if I don't go?" Wei Ba calmed down and slowly put down the official document in his hand.

"Wei Ba, you are bold!" Ma Tan's face changed, and he shouted loudly.

Zhuge Liang raised his hand, interrupted Ma Yan's words, and frowned slightly. He pondered for a moment: "You don't want to go? ”

Wei Ba said: "This is too dangerous, and the success rate is too low, I can't guarantee the completion of the task." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded: "You're right, it's really hard to determine." When I arrived in Chang'an, everything could not help it, it was difficult to say whether I could save my life, and who could guarantee the completion of the task. ”

Wei Ba was silent, staring at Zhuge Liang intently. He has already expressed his refusal, so next, will Zhuge Liang let him go, or will he use this murder to force him? After all, this initiative is all in Zhuge Liang's hands, if Zhuge Liang insists that he killed Zhuge Qiao, he will have no chance to refute at all. The motive for the killing? Please, the unjust cases of the 21st century are piled up, the son of the dignified prime minister has been killed, and there is all the human and material evidence, who will talk to you about the motive for the killing.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, and Zuihou sighed: "If you don't want to go, then you have to do it, this jihua, I'll think about it again." Ziyu, you can go back, and in the future, you should be careful about the people around you, and don't be too laissez-faire. ”

"Prime Minister!" Ma Yan was anxious: "Apart from him, who else can be up to this task?" If you can't figure out the situation in Chang'an, how can you implement Meridian Valley Jihua? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Young Chang, this kind of thing is too dangerous, you can be tempted, but you can't coerce." Otherwise, if he is reluctant, how can he be attentive, and if he is not careful, how can there be a trace of possibility of completing the task? "—————— ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
