"General, why bother?" Wei Ba glanced at the armorers who rushed up, and those armorers involuntarily stopped. "Wei betrayed his relatives and left, and he owed the only death. The reason why I was willing to return to Chang'an was just to see if General Anxi had any courtesy. If you want to humiliate me, what's the big deal if you fight to the death? ”

Xiahou Mao was even more annoyed, especially when he saw that those soldiers didn't dare to step forward as if they were stupid, and he felt even more embarrassed. He raised his hand and was scolding, Xiahou Hui whispered behind the screen: "Uncle, just say that you should be polite to the soldiers, and you should be cautious when you treat people, but you still have to be cautious, do you know that you are not a fraud and an assassin?" ”

When Xiahou Mao heard this, he hurriedly put down his raised arm lightly and studied it seriously.

Wei Ba shook his head, a little regretful: "General, if I want to deceive and assassinate the general, why should I leave Chang'an, ten days ago, I could have identified myself to the general." ”

Xiahou Mao was speechless and listened attentively.

Xiahou Hui reminded: "I don't know if you don't want to stretch and bend first, and wait for the time to move." ”

Xiahou Mao nodded vigorously: "I don't know if you want to stretch and bend first, and move when the time comes." ”

Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "General, I'm tired and thirsty now, I really don't have the energy to talk to the general like this." If the general doesn't believe me, he might as well have someone kill me. If you believe me, drive these idlers out, and bring me some food and drink, and I will give the general a satisfactory explanation. He paused, and then said, "I can't go back to my home now, and I can't return to my country." There are at least hundreds of armor soldiers in General Anxi's mansion, and if I kill the general, can I rush out? General, you are too cautious. ”

Xiahou Mao was a little embarrassed, Wei Ba knew that there were people behind his screen, especially his subordinates in front of him, and he felt that his face was gloomy. However, security has to be considered. In case Wei Ba wants to hold him hostage, it will be a big loss. He thought for a moment and asked people to take Dunwu down first. He left a few brave cronies and guards aside, and drove out Tian Fu and other "idle people". Tian Fu was very depressed, but he didn't dare to insist, so he had to glare at Wei Ba fiercely. Stride away.

Xiahou Mao asked people to bring wine and food again, Wei Ba sat down cross-legged in the hall, and Xiahou Mao's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Ba raised his hand: "General, you don't speak, if you have anything to say, please wait for me to finish eating." ”

Xiahou Mao was a little surprised, but he didn't speak, and looked at Wei Ba curiously. Xiahou Hui behind the screen couldn't see all this in front. Seeing that Xiahou Mao was so abnormal, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Wei Ba ate slowly. Although he was already hungry, in order to be able to carry out Jihua smoothly, he still had to pretend to be calm and elegant, as if he was not a captive now. Instead, he came to the Anzai General's Mansion for a banquet.

The food in General Anxi's mansion was good, and Wei Ba was also very hungry now, but he still only ate a little before stopping. rinsed his mouth unhurriedly, washed his face and hands, and then bowed to Xiahou Mao: "General, I can't hide it, I am Wei Ba, the son of Wei Yan, the general of Shuhan Zhenbei." ”

Xiahou Mao originally saw Wei Ba sitting cross-legged, eating very carefully, and only ate a little before stopping, behaving quite like a person in the Taoist sect, his interest has increased greatly, and he was waiting for Wei Ba to finish eating, so as to ask him if he was a cultivator, so as to satisfy his interests and hobbies of cultivating immortals, he never thought that as soon as Wei Ba opened his mouth, he threw out a bombshell, which knocked him out at once.

"Are you Wei Yan's son Wei Ba?" Xiahou Mao's voice trembled. Not only him, but even Xiahou Hui behind the screen couldn't help but hold his breath.

Wei Ba nodded ashamedly: "Yes, I am Wei Ba, and I am really forced to flee to Guanzhong." I also asked the general to keep it a secret on my behalf, so as not to affect my family, so as to be filial to me. ”

Xiahou Mao was ecstatic, and he didn't hear Wei Ba's words at all. Wei Yanzhen has been guarding the pass for more than ten years, and has always been the enemy he cares about the most, and his attention is even higher than Zhuge Liang. Wei Yan's son defected, and it fell into his hands, which was definitely a big deal. Regardless of whether this matter was planned by him or not, as long as Wei Ba was sent to Luoyang, he would be a great achievement.

Secrecy? What are you kidding, such haode news must be hyped up.

Wei Ba didn't say a word, only an occasional sigh, the sigh was full of helplessness and hesitation, full of a sense of helplessness of treason and leaving home, like a lonely wanderer who couldn't see any future, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, but thinking of his next step was nowhere to go. Xiahou Mao in front of the screen was in no mood to care about these details, but Xiahou Hui behind the screen was aroused by his sigh, and suddenly felt a trace of inexplicable sympathy.

After a long while, Xiahou Mao recovered from his ecstasy and asked excitedly, "Since you are Wei Yan's son, why did you come to Guanzhong?" ”

"I ...... Killed. ”

"Killed whom?" Xiahou Mao asked anxiously.

"Zhuge Qiao." Wei Ba was stunned, and then continued: "Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Qiao. ”

Xiahou Mao nodded again and again. killed Zhuge Liang's son, that's okay, no wonder he wants to flee.

Xiahou Hui was moved in his heart, and asked involuntarily: "Since you saved Jin Dongliu, Weishenme will not go to the hussar general." With Jin Dongliu's recommendation, why can't you be an official under the hussar general? ”

Suddenly hearing someone talking behind the screen, and it was a woman's voice, Wei Ba looked at Xiahou Mao in surprise: "General, this is ......"

Xiahou Mao smiled, "This is my junior, it's inconvenient to meet you, so I sit behind the screen." ”

Wei Bacheng was terrified, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Meet the girl, please forgive me for the abruptness." He said, but he was a little surprised. Xiahou Mao can let her sit behind him, which can be seen to be very intimate, and it can be seen from his look that he values this woman very much, but he is only talking about the junior, so it can be seen that it is not his daughter. Who would that be?

Xiahou Hui was anxious for a while, irritable and a little embarrassed. It's just that there is no point in covering it up at this time, so I had to say a little shyly: "It's because I'm curious, I want to come and see, what does it have to do with Wei Jun." Wei Jun, why didn't you go to Wancheng with Jin Dongliu, and when you arrived in Chang'an, you refused to come to see General Anxi, did you want to go to Luoyang? ”

Wei Ba sighed: "The girl is right, I just want to go to Luoyang." As for Wancheng, I don't want to go. Because Zhuge Qiao was actually not killed by me, I was framed, and it was Sima Yi's subordinates who framed me. They pretended to be me and killed Zhuge Qiao, but they planted the blame on me. I couldn't argue, so I had to take advantage of the opportunity of those people to save Jin Dongliu and escape. Now that it is difficult to return to a home and a country, I just want to find a place to make a living. Please also ask General Anzai to fulfill it. ”

Xiahou Mao nodded again and again. Although it is not yet certain whether what Wei Ba said is true, at least this reason may be valid and can withstand scrutiny.

"Since you want to find a place to live, why don't you come to my Anzai General's Mansion. Could it be that you look down on me Xiahou Mao? ”

"How dare you." Wei Ba sighed again: "Although I was forced to escape from Hanzhong, I didn't want to be my father's enemy. The general is guarding Guanzhong, and Zhuge Liang is about to send troops, and his father, as a general in Zhenbei, will naturally come to Guanzhong. If you come to vote for General Anzai, won't you have to fight against your father at that time? Treason is already unfaithful, how can I fight against my father again and be an unfilial person? is disloyal and unfilial, what face does it have to live in the world. ”

Xiahou Mao agreed.

Wei Ba said again: "Moreover, if I defect to the general, it will be a little unfavorable to the general in the future. Taking these aspects into consideration, I decided to go to Luoyang, but I didn't expect to be recognized by the general's discernment and return to Chang'an, which can be regarded as providence. ”

Xiahou Mao was a little deceived by Wei Ba's untraceable praise, and couldn't help but stroke his beard. Xiahou Hui behind the screen did not relax her vigilance, she continued to ask: "Then who do you want to go to when you go to Luoyang?" ”

"When I went to Luoyang, I had two ideas. First, he wanted to defect to the mansion of Xiahou Yuan, the general of the late expedition to the west. I knew Zhang Shao, the son of Zhang Hou, and I once heard him say that his mother was the daughter of General Zhengxi, and that he might be able to find a place to live there. If it doesn't work, I want to go to General Zhennan and Zhang Tianshi, Marquis of Langzhong. ”

As soon as he heard the word Zhang Tianshi, Xiahou Mao immediately remembered the question just now, and hurriedly asked: "You know Zhang Tianshi, no, you are so young, you shouldn't have any dealings with Zhang Tianshi?" ”

Wei Ba smiled: "General Mingjian, I really don't know Zhang Tianshi. However, I have some experience in the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Law, and it should not be difficult to use this as a step to enter the body. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiahou Mao became excited and slapped his thigh. "Seeing you sitting cross-legged just now, I thought that you might know the Tao, but I didn't expect to be guessed by me. Tell me quickly, what kind of Taoism do you know? ”

Wei Ba asked in surprise: "General...... Also interested in Taoism? ”

Xiahou Mao hahadaxiao, the smug color was overflowing.

Xiahou Hui behind the screen frowned, and a trace of uneasiness passed through his heart. As soon as Wei Ba entered the door, he didn't look like a surrenderer. In Xiahou Hui's opinion, he was too calm and seemed to come prepared. When she heard about the Dao Fa, she became even more suspicious. Wei Yan has been guarding Hanzhong for many years, and it has not been a year or two since Xiahou Mao arrived in Guanzhong, how could Wei Yan not know about his preference for health preservation Taoism? From this point of view, Wei Ba is proficient in Taoism, and he is the appetite of Xiahou Mao. He came to vote for Xiahou Mao, and he would definitely be reused, so why bother to rush to Chang'an to defect to Zhang Lu, the titular general of Zhennan and the Marquis of Langzhong?

Is it really because he doesn't want to fight against his father Wei Yan in the next war? How did he know that Xiahou Mao would make him a general and lead his troops into battle?
