Chapter 996: The Enemy Meets

After Guo Xiu left the post house, he went straight to Wei Ba's residence, asked to see Wei Ba, and was soon brought to Wei Ba.

Guo Xiu and Wei Ba have been getting along for more than half a year, and they are already familiar with each other. Especially the last time Guo Xiu took the initiative to enter Linzi City, persuaded Wang Ling and Tian Yu away, and let Wei Ba take Linzi lightly, avoiding heavy casualties and costs, Wei Ba was very satisfied with him.

"There is a special situation to be reported to the general."

Wei Ba looked at Guo Xiu with a smile: "What kind of news is there that deserves Guo Jun's caution?" ”

"News related to the life and death of the general."

Wei Ba raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and waved his hand. The subordinates who were reporting on the side retreated one after another, but Dunwu and another soldier did not move, holding on to their knives and paying vigilant attention to Guo Xiu. No matter how close Guo Xiu and Wei Ba were, he was the envoy of Wei after all.

The heart of defense is indispensable, this is the iron law of military soldiers. Anyone who tries to get close to Wei Ba is suspicious.

Guo Xiu hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, and stretched his right hand into his left sleeve. His action aroused Dunwu's vigilance, and Dunwu immediately took a half-step forward, pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand, and was ready to draw the knife at any time. Although the knife had not yet been unsheathed, the murderous aura came out vigorously, Guo Xiu was startled, and his hair suddenly shrugged, and he looked at Dunwu in surprise.

"Your Excellency is so murderous!"

Wei Ba smiled, stretched out his hand to signal Dun Wu to retreat, and said to Guo Xiu: "He is a killer, you don't have to pay attention to him." ”

"Whoa." Guo Xiu slowed down, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, carefully handed it to Wei Ba, and then unfolded it.

This is a portrait. The person in the portrait has thick eyebrows and big eyes, murderous spirit, and sharp eyes.

"It's ......"

"Killer Yang Xiong!" Guo Xiu nodded with his finger: "Xiping people, who have traveled to Qiang for more than ten years, it is said that he once cultivated in Tangshu Mountain, and he is extremely powerful, and he can crack tigers and leopards. ”

"Is there such a person?" Wei Ba was very surprised, his hands were torn apart, how much strength was this. Although he has also practiced martial arts, there is no shortage of masters like Dunwu and Han Zhenying around him. I haven't heard of anyone with that much strength.

"No surprises. King Ren Chengwei has such a ability. Guo Xiu explained. Tang Shu is a Qiang language, which means ghost. Tangshu Mountain is also a big mountain in the Qiang land, there is heavy snow to cover the mountain all year round, and it is inaccessible. There are many foreign bodies. The Qiang people thought it was a ghost. That's why it's called Tangshu Mountain. Some people are afraid of ghosts. Some people want to become immortals, and many people dig holes in Tangshu Mountain to practice, and those holes are called Tangshu Caves. That is the meaning of ghost cave. The reason why it is so called is because some people who occasionally enter the mountain see that these holes are above the cliffs, and there is no way to enter and exit at all, and people seem to have to fly up and walk like ghosts. In fact, there are indeed people who have attained unimaginable strength after cultivating in the cave.

This Yang Xiong is one of them. After his debut, he killed countless warriors and rangers, and his name was very famous. It's just that he rarely shows up, if it weren't for the fact that he had contributed to the Guo family, Guo Xiu had seen him once, and he wouldn't have recognized him.

Wei Ba didn't say anything more. He had heard of Cao Zhang's prestige, and knew that Cao Zhang was a fierce man, not referring to the fierce battle, but to the high value of personal force. In this era, the strength and speed often determine a person's force value, and if a person's strength can really fight with the tiger and leopard, then he basically has no opponent.

"Where is this man?"

"Just beside the messenger of the edict, looking at his clothes, he should be a lang official. I didn't expect such a master to be mixed into the ranks of Lang officials, it seems that someone has paid a lot of money, and it is worth treating it so carefully, probably only the general. ”

Wei Ba understood. When the envoy of the Son of Heaven delivers the edict, there will be Lang officials by his side, one is to protect the safety of the envoy, and the other is the royal prestige. The number of people may not be too large, but they can usually carry weapons. If there is such a master in it, and he suddenly makes a move, even with his skills, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure that it is safe. Once captured, the other party may of course be killed, and then you can arrange a random charge, and you can't think about it. A dead person cannot be resurrected, and a dead person cannot defend himself.

Could it be that Zhuge Liang's confidence is here?

Although Wei Ba was a little disdainful, he was still very grateful to Guo Xiu. If Guo Xiu hadn't known that person and rushed to report it, even if he was prepared, he would not have been prepared enough. After all, this fierce man who can split tigers and leopards is a rare animal.

"Thank you Guo Jun, I will report after the love."

"If the general can broker negotiations as soon as possible so that I can complete the task, I will be inexplicably grateful." Guo Xiu said with a smile.

"Definitely." Wei Ba laughed: "Then again, why don't you cooperate with Jiang Wei, you are all from Liangzhou." ”

Guo Xiu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, Jiang Wei can't be the master." Even if Prime Minister Zhuge dies, I'm afraid it won't be his turn to take over. Moreover, this person's reputation in Xizhou was not as good as the general imagined. When he abandoned his mother and returned to Han, he was really despised. ”

Wei Ba Ha Lu Ha smiled, got up and walked to Guo Xiu's hand, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Sure enough, I think so too." How can a rebel who doesn't even want his wife be a loyal minister. The hero sees the same thing, Guo Jun, we will be closer in the future. ”

Guo Xiu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "If you can get close to the general, you can also cultivate what you want." ”

Wei Ba smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, I still have to make some arrangements, so I won't greet Guo Jun." Guo Jun lives in a simple house these days, so he doesn't want to be seen as flawed. See how I arranged a trap to catch this tiger. ”

Guo Xiu bowed and asked to retreat.

As soon as he went out, the smile on Wei Ba's face disappeared. He was silent for a moment, and shouted, "Give me Wang Shuang and Yinbo." ”

……

As soon as Guo Xiu left, Liu Min's deputy envoy came to the door.

Wei Ba looked at the deputy envoy and didn't speak for a long time.

This is an acquaintance, the jade-faced man Liu Yu who once broke a leg by him.

The injury on Liu Yu's leg has healed, but the injury in his heart is obviously not healed. When he saw Wei Ba, there was a faint murderous aura in his eyes, his thin lips were bitten tightly, and if he listened carefully, he could hear the gurgling sound of teeth rubbing. In his mind, he was probably chewing on Wei Ba's bones.

Wei Ba suddenly laughed: "Chengdu is goodbye, it's been seven or eight years, right?" ”

Liu Yu suppressed his anger and bowed: "Thanks to the general's concern, Yu is grateful and remembered." ”

"Hahaha......" Wei Ba waved his hand: "You're welcome." I also know that your father and our father and son are inseparable from each other, and there is no hope of reconciliation. Now, the two of them are fighting below, and the two of us are fighting on top, which can be regarded as a chess and drum. Say, how do you want to fight? ”

"The general misunderstood." Liu Yu's face was calm, almost cold, but his words were not bad. I have to say that even when he was fighting with the Wei family's father and son, Liu Yan was not very out of shape back then, in addition to that handsome face, doing good work on the surface was also one of the important factors for him to be favored. It was only when they encountered such an unreasonable and rough person as the Wei family's father and son that they were repeatedly frustrated. Liu Yu was a little dumbfounded back then, but now he is very decent.

It seems that several years of near-confinement have taught him a lot of good things.

"Yu was edicted by His Majesty this time, and served as an envoy with General Liu, and came to coronate the general, but also to witness a grand event." Liu Yu bowed his hand again, and his tone became more and more calm: "Yu Bucai, for General Liu, come to discuss related matters with the general." After all, this is not an ordinary edict, and it is better to be grand. ”

"Really?" Wei Bayu smiled sarcastically, and said in his heart, do you want to witness me become king, or do you want to witness me lose my head?

"Of course." Liu Yu's words became more and more calm: "I don't know when the general is going to take the edict?" ”

"It's better to pick up the day than to hit the sun, please Liu Jun go back to the post house for a while, I will prepare, choose an auspicious time, and send someone to notify you."

"Very good. In this way, Yu retired and waited for good news in the post house. After Liu Yu finished speaking, he bowed and retired.

Wei Ba didn't say anything. He had no intention of attacking Liu Yu. For now, he is a well-deserved winner, so there is no need to deal with Liu Yu again. Trouble with him not only loses his identity, but also makes it easier to provoke criticism. The prime minister sent Liu Yu as his deputy envoy, and if he didn't get it right, it would be a foreshadowing. There was a conflict, and it is not impossible to put the blame on Liu Yu in the future, and it is said to be a personal vendetta. Although everyone doesn't say it, everyone knows that Liu Yan died at the hands of Wei Ba, and it is natural for Liu Yu to avenge his father. And if he himself risked his life, he would take advantage of Wei Ba's edict and there were no guards around him, which would be reasonable and reasonable.

Liu Yu himself probably knew what Lu Dao meant, but he still came. It can be seen that he also guessed that the prime minister was planning to attack Wei Ba, so he knew that there was no return this time, so he also came.

There is revenge and no revenge, and there is no shame to stand in the world. Liu Yu must have been very aggrieved in Chengdu in recent years. Suffering may temper people, and today's Liu Yu is no longer the frivolous and prodigal son of the past, he was refined into a poisonous knife by hatred.

Could he be another knife prepared by the Prime Minister? Wei Ba looked at the back of Liu Yu leaving, and a thought rose in his heart. He hadn't seen with his own eyes the master that Guo Xiu had said that he had cultivated in Tang Shu Mountain, but judging from his face, this person was easy to identify, and no one who saw him would take it lightly. The only difference is that you may not have imagined that he would be so powerful. And Liu Yu is different, he used to be a gentleman, but now his body is not strong, and no one will care too much about him at the moment of life and death. But such a person, as long as he has a sharp weapon in his hand, can also kill with one blow.

What's more, Wei Ba felt that he was deliberately hiding something between walking, and his movements were not very natural.

"Do you think Liu Yu knows martial arts?" Wei Ba asked.

"It's hard to say." Dunwu shook his head, he had been with Wei Ba for too long, even if Wei Ba's words were a little abrupt, he still grasped Wei Ba's meaning. "His steps are frivolous, he is not calm enough, and he doesn't look like he has martial arts. However, I heard Zhenying say that there is a kind of Yu step in the Dao Gate, which is very similar to the step he took just now. If it's true, then he's at least a little tricky. ”

"Yubu?" Wei Ba frowned...... (To be continued......)
