Chapter 140: The Difference

Although Wei Ba was under house arrest, he did not have a trace of depression, on the contrary, he seemed very relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and there was a little more smile on his face.

This smile made the frustration in Xiahou Hui's heart even stronger.

After galloping for a day, and having a battle with Wei Ba, Xiahou Hui was very tired, and wanted to take a bath and eat something, so he went to bed early. But when she wore a light silk robe after bathing, pushed open the window, and heard Wei Ba's hearty laughter, she involuntarily put on a coat and walked out of the door.

The place where Wei Ba was under house arrest was very close to where she lived, with only a few rooms in between. Wei Ba was sitting on the empty high platform, ignoring the more than ten armor soldiers watching him next to him, leisurely tasting wine and admiring the moon. There are a lot of melons and fruits on the case in front of him, and there is a big ice basin, it can be imagined that although Xiahou Mao is under house arrest, he still values him and gives him extremely high treatment.

Wei Ba also saw Xiahou Hui, he raised his wine glass, gestured at Xiahou Hui, and laughed loudly: "Miss Xiahou, now I am an idler, and there is no threat to the girl." Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, the shadow becomes a trio, how lonely, can the girl come and have a drink? ”

Xiahou Hui hesitated for a moment. Although there is no rule that men and women cannot sit together in this era, she is a girl who has not left the cabinet after all, and it seems a little inappropriate to drink with a young man, and she has just fought with each other. But she felt a little unwilling, and she really wanted to take the opportunity to compete with Wei Ba again, there was a good opportunity in front of her, and she was reluctant to let it go. And in the few words that Wei Ba just said, the ten words "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio" seems ordinary, but it has its own meaning, and it also makes her a little moved.

"Wei Jun, please allow me to change my clothes, and I will come to drink with Wei Ba later."

"Probably not. Girl, please take care of yourself, I have time. Wei Ba said, while motioning for people not to move a desk outside. After a while. Xiahou Hui changed into a set of regular clothes, walked out of the room, sat down on the haode banquet prepared by Wei Ba, picked up the melons and fruits in the ice basin and took a bite. A chill suddenly drove away the heat in my heart, and my originally flustered heart slowly calmed down.

"Wei Jun, please!" She raised her glass and invited: "There is no need to invite Mingyue now." ”

Wei Ba daxiao. Raise your glass and drink it all. "The girl has a delicate heart."

Xiahou Hui took a shallow sip, put down the cup, picked up another piece of melon and fruit, took a small bite, and chewed slowly. She looked at Wei Ba, who was at ease, and suddenly smiled: "I let Wei Jun lose his freedom." Doesn't Wei Jun hate me? ”

Wei Ba glanced at her and shook his head: "I don't hate." You are a little reckless in doing so, but you are understandable. If it were me, I would do the same. Of course. I may be a little more violent than you. Instead of raising the soup to stop the boiling, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. The girl didn't let the general kill me, and I'm already grateful. ”

Xiahou Hui sighed secretly, she didn't want Xiahou Mao to arrest Wei Ba and torture him, and ask the truth, instead of being under house arrest like this. It's a pity that Xiahou Mao doesn't believe her at all now.

"But, after all, I made Wei Jun lose the opportunity to make contributions."

"Not really." Wei Ba pretended not to understand the other meaning of Xiahou Hui's words, and waved his sleeves in a chic manner. "I never thought about being rich and noble, let alone being an enemy of my master, and the reason why I made suggestions for the general was just because of the general's love. Now the girl's words have freed me from the dilemma of having to fight against my master, and I am actually very grateful to the girl. ”

"Wei Jun is really a benevolent person, no wonder he will not blame Miss Peng for harming you."

Hearing Peng Xiaoyu's name, Wei Ba frowned slightly and was silent for a long time. "Is Xiaoyu's injury serious? Is there a danger to life? ”

Xiahou Hui didn't answer immediately, in order to get an answer from Peng Xiaoyu's mouth, she ordered a big punishment, Peng Xiaoyu only had half a life left now, but she didn't say a word that was unfavorable to Wei Ba. It's just that she didn't want Wei Ba to know, so she pouted: "Miss Peng is really lucky, she betrayed you twice, but you still care about her life and death." ”

"No, she didn't betray me." Wei Ba interrupted Xiahou Hui's words: "That time in Hanzhong, she didn't know what Jihua her brother had, it was her brother who said that my piece of jade was her family treasure, so she took the jade to him. As for this time, I'm sure that even if she said something, it would be a trick. ”

He sighed: "I wanted to protect her, but now it seems that I have harmed her, I knew that this was the case, it is better to let her go to Wancheng with his brother." ”

Xiahou Hui raised his eyebrows: "Are you so sure?" ”

Wei Ba smiled gloomily: "I'm sure." Because I am not a fraud, how can she betray me? You think you've got the real news, but it's just a lie. I can understand that if I am beaten, I will also talk nonsense, and I will say whatever you want to hear. This is not new, it happens almost every day. ”

He raised his head and looked straight at Xiahou Hui, with anger looming in his eyes: "Miss Xiahou, you are hurting an innocent person for your own selfishness, and you will be punished for it." ”

Xiahou Hui was speechless. She didn't know whether to feel Wei Ba's trust and concern for Peng Xiaoyu, or to be ashamed of what she had done. She could see from Wei Ba's expression that Wei Ba did not have any resentment towards Peng Xiaoyu, but only pity. But she didn't know that the reason why Wei Ba was so sure was because he knew that Peng Xiaoyu didn't know about his deception, and only Dunwu knew about this matter, and he never mentioned a word to Peng Xiaoyu. The more Xiahou Hui said it was for sure, the more it showed that there was fraud in it.

If he knew that Peng Xiaoyu had already guessed something, he probably wouldn't be so sure.

"Don't think you've won." Xiahou Hui lowered his head, not wanting Wei Ba to see his moist eyes. She paused to regain her composure before continuing: "I still believe that you are a fraud, although my uncle does not believe it, but if you are put under house arrest, I believe that your jihua will not be able to carry it out." ”

Wei Ba pouted: "I want to hear the girl's opinion." If I surrender by fraud, then how can I respond to the Shu army? ”

Xiahou Mao's brows furrowed slightly, she had always suspected that Wei Ba was a fraud, but it was just a feeling, she didn't have any evidence, and sometimes she couldn't tell whether her suspicion of Wei Ba was out of instinct or jealousyβ€”just as Wei Ba said. I want to vent a bad breath for Sima Shi.

But she never thought that if Wei Ba really surrendered, in addition to getting close to Xiahou Mao. What other specific means are there. Now that Wei Ba asked, she had to calm down and carefully figure out Wei Ba's possible plan. After all, approaching Xiahou Mao, it doesn't make much sense to use the assassination of Xiahou Mao as a means of deception. It only makes sense for zuihou to be implemented in military action.

She pondered for a long time: "I think, you should be the main force out of Longyou, and the other departments are out of the customs." Capture Chang'an and capture Tongguan to block reinforcements. ”

"Who's going to do it?" Wei Ba asked quietly, saying this now is actually hindsight, with Xiahou Hui's cleverness, it is not surprising that he can guess this. He just wanted to know. Would Xiahou Hui think of that strange army in Meridian Valley?

"Zhuge Liang's main force is in Longyou, and the suspicious soldiers in the Baochuan Road should be 10,000 or 20,000, and another 10,000 or 20,000 people will be left to guard Hanzhong, and the strength seems to have been exhausted." Xiahou Hui said unhurriedly, while saying. While looking at Wei Ba's expression. The corners of Wei Ba's mouth were slightly raised, and she seemed to be a little disdainful, which made her a little angry, feeling that Wei Ba was despising her, and she thought more and more devoted. "Since you are a deceit, then your father ......"

Xiahou Hui shuddered suddenly, her eyes became sharp, she subconsciously straightened up, and blurted out: "Your father led a strange army out of the Meridian Valley and went straight to Chang'an?" ”

Wei Ba shook her head and sighed lightly, but the more Xiahou Hui thought about it, the more frightened she became, she almost stood up and rushed out to tell Xiahou Mao about this very dangerous possibility. But seeing Wei Ba's contemptuous look, she was not confident again, and let herself sit firmly.

"Girl, you're called a suspect stealing an axe." Wei Ba raised his glass and gestured at Xiahou Hui. "You have this idea because you believe that I surrendered by fraud, but I am not a fraud, and my father naturally will not lead any strange soldiers, and he was also left out in Hanzhong by Zhuge Liang and lost his military power. Well, even if you guessed it right, my father led a surprise army out of the Meridian Valley, so you go and ask the general, can the Meridian Valley go? ”

Xiahou Hui was suddenly a little surprised. Meridian Valley has been in disrepair for many years and has been unable to pass through the army, which has been confirmed by many people. Jin Dongliu said so, the fine work sent out by Xiahou Mao said so, and Tian Fu and Xu Ran, who followed Wei Ba to the Meridian Pass, also said it. In this way, Meridian Valley is not suitable for marching at all, and the most important part of her conjecture has become whimsical. That doesn't make sense, and all other conjectures come crashing down.

This is probably the reason why Wei Ba is not nervous at all, because this is impossible at all, it is just her cranky speculation.

Or, will Wei Yan go another way? Out of Xiangyang, Benwan City? Xiahou Hui pondered and couldn't figure it out.

Wei Ba sneered and was silent, like Jiang Taigong who was fishing.

……

At the same time, five miles west of the meridian gate, the abundant water was rattling, flowing out of Nanshan, running to Weishui, and running to Chang'an.

Wei Yan wore his armor and carried a bag of dry food on his back, but he walked like a fly, jumping off the small boat, and he couldn't see that he had been walking on the Meridian Valley for more than ten days. Behind him, countless soldiers disembarked from the boat, each of them fully armed and carrying food bags cross-body. The line was very long, like a long dragon poking its head out of the mountain, and I didn't know how long it would be.

Chen Xiang saw Wei Yan's tall figure, and hurriedly rushed up and bowed down to greet him.

Wei Yan glanced at him by the light of the torch, and asked anxiously, "Xingrui, where is Ziyu, is he safe?" ”

Chen Xiang bowed and said: "The young master army is very safe, but others are in Yiwu, and they want to help General Zhao get out of the valley." Chen Xiang roughly explained the situation, and Zuihou said: "The defenders of Tongguan have been transferred, and the young master hopes that the general can immediately seize Tongguan, and then use the prepared haode materials to strengthen the city defense and prepare for the fortification." Once Cao Wei learned that our troops were out of the pass, they would soon send heavy troops to seize the pass, and whether Tongguan could be held or not was related to the entire battle situation. ”

"Do you still need to say this?" Wei Yan was disdainful, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Chen Xiang, "Can you still see Ziyu?" ”

"Yes! General, do you want to see the young master? ”

"No, I want you to inform him to leave Yiwu and pick up General Zhao's departure from the valley, and I'll do it. Since Tongguan has become an empty city, I will first go to Yiwu to defeat the 5,000 Wei army, pick up the old general Zhao out of the valley, and then rush to Tongguan, more than enough time. Wei Yan waved his hand: "However, before that, I want Ziyu to be safe and sound." Can you do it? ”
