Chapter 36
In the prime minister's central army tent, with the departure of the father and son of the Wei family, the peaceful atmosphere of chatting and laughing was wiped out. Liu Yan was scolded by Zhuge Liang, left in shame, and prepared to return to Chengdu. However, Yang Yi was left with a gray face. Although the tears on his face were washed away, his eyes were still red and swollen, like a freshly ripe peach.
Zhuge Liang sat behind the case and remained silent. Ma Su stood up and said sternly: "Duke Wei, what's wrong with you? Why are you going to tease Wei Yan again? Liu Yan was confused, and you also committed the crime? Fu Zu died in battle for the country and was a loyal martyr. You saw his son beaten like this by Liu Yan. Not only did he not report to the Prime Minister, he immediately treated him, but he also helped Liu Yan to oppose Wei Yan? Go and listen to what the battalions outside were saying. They were talking about you, but in fact they were accusing the Prime Minister."
Yang Yi drooped his head. He knew that things had come to this point, and nothing else was useless. Everyone was snatched away by Wei Yan. In order to calm Wei Yan's anger, Zhuge Liang also lost a set of armor. As the supervisor in charge of the baggage, he knew the significance of this set of armor to Zhuge Liang, but now he gave it to Wei Yan because of his negligence.
When he thought of this, he became even more frustrated and his eyes couldn't help but turn red again. He could see clearly that Yang Meng did not want to assassinate Wei Yan. He did not have the courage. If he really had this courage, he was afraid that Wei Yan and his son would have been lying in the baggage camp. The father and son of the Wei family were really shameless. They were framed so sinister. If Prime Minister Zhuge had not come forward, not only would Yang Meng not be able to escape death, but he was afraid that he would have been severely punished.
Ma Su was furious. Yang Yi was a big clan in Xiangyang. Most people were embarrassed to talk about him or were not qualified to talk about him. He was not afraid. The power of the Ma family in Xiangyang was much stronger than that of the Yang family. If you want to say that the person who was qualified to teach Yang Yi a lesson, except Zhuge Liang, it was Ma Su. Some things Zhuge Liang was not easy to say by himself, and his confidant would have to be the prime minister and say it for him.
For example, now I will teach Yang Yi a lesson.
Fei Yi stood up and smoothed out, "Young Chang, Duke Wei was also angry for a moment. Don't look at Wei Yan and his son's words, we all know the truth. Duke Wei was also wronged in this matter. I believe he has regretted it himself, so you don't have to say it anymore."
Ma Su snorted, and did not accuse Yang Yi again, and followed Fei Yi's topic. "Wen Wei's words were reasonable. This matter must have been not the case. It was just that Wei Yan and his son took the lead. Duke Wei could not defend himself at that time. Even though he knew he had been bullied by them, he had to swallow his anger. Furthermore, although Wei Yan was a martial artist, he was also a person from Jingxiang. The Prime Minister wanted to fight the Northern Expedition and he was able to take responsibility for his minions. If the quarrel was too strong, it would make people feel that I was not incompatible with the people of Jingxiang, wouldn't it be harmful to the great cause? Wei Yan is a rough man and rebellious. Could it be that your Duke Yang Wei doesn't even understand this truth?"
Yang Yi didn't dare to speak back, lowered her head and said nothing.
Fei Yi smiled, stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and then said, "Prime Minister, Wei Yan is indeed brave, but if he is allowed to continue so arrogant, what if he doesn't listen to the Prime Minister's order in the future?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, and he raised his hand.
He rubbed his eyebrows gently and said for a while: "Wenwei is too worried. I see that although Wei Yan is rude, he still knows the right way. He has an occasional quarrel, but it is related to the overall situation. I believe he still knows the importance of this matter. I misread this in Liu Yan, and Mr. Wei is also a little arrogant. Although Wei Yan and his son are a little arrogant, there is nothing wrong with him. Alas, Mr. Wei, you are also a scholar, why can't you get along well with Wei Yan? You are all my good helpers with literary talent and bravery."
Yang Yi sniffed and apologized.
"Okay, things have come to this point, it's useless to say more. You are tired, so go back and have a good rest first. Wenwei, please send him some."
"Here." Yang Yi responded, got up and wanted to leave, remembered something, walked to Zhuge Liang and said softly. Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, then laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I understand."
Yang Yi was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he turned around and left. Fei Qi followed him out of the tent. As soon as they left, Ma Su immediately turned to Zhuge Liang, picked up the cold wine, took a sip, and said, "Prime Minister, I think Wei Yan and his son are very threatening, especially his second son Wei Ba, who is not old, is a little scheming. Wei Yan's reckless man was originally insignificant, but with his help..."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and chuckled softly: "Although Wei Ba is a little scheming, how can he be compared with Youchang?"
Ma Su smiled slightly: "Prime Minister, I'm just reminding the Prime Minister to pay attention. Since the Prime Minister already knows it, there is no need for me to say more."
"I hate this matter because Wei Gong is ignorant of the importance of it. He threatened Wei Yan with Fu Xing's safety, but was restrained. If he didn't deal with him, he would be afraid that he would not calm down the anger. I asked Wen Wei to send him off, and there was this meaning in it. Wen Wei was smart and would definitely handle it very well. As for Wei Yan, I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. Youchang, do you have any suggestions?"
Ma Su laughed: "Prime Minister, since you have a candidate in your heart, why bother to say such things?"
Zhuge Liang laughed: "Those who know me are always young."
Ma Su raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass. He picked up the wine spoon and scooped two spoons of wine from the jar. He first filled Zhuge Liang and then continued to say, "I will go to talk to Wei Yan and his son in detail tomorrow. I hope to persuade them to fully support the prime minister's great cause with a perfect tongue."
"I have no worries when I have young children." Zhuge Liang smiled, raised his wine glass and touched Ma Su, and said to Zhuge Qiao: "Bosong, we should take young children as an example, work hard to make progress, and share our worries for our father."
Zhuge Qiao raised his wine glass with both hands, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Father, I will go to visit the Wei family father and son tomorrow with Uncle Youchang. When he talks about Wei Yan, I will go to meet this Wei Ba."
...
Wei Ba and his son returned to the camp. Because Fu Xing was seriously injured, the banquet was naturally not talked about. Wei Feng immediately arranged someone to heal Fu Xing's wounds. After working for a while, he finally treated Fu Xing's wounds properly. Liu Yan was so cruel that he not only broke Fu Xing's legs, but also broke several ribs. If he was placed in the baggage camp without treatment, at most, he would be seriously injured and die tomorrow.
Sitting beside Fu Xing, who was wrapped in a palm, Wei Ba was both grateful and ashamed. "I didn't expect that Liu Yan was so cruel and vicious. At that time, I should have asked you to go to the camp for a lecture."
Fu Xing smiled faintly: "You can't blame you for this. If you want to blame, you can only blame me for being careless. I should have thought that he was a stupid person who was stupid and should be careful. It was just that he had to implicate his father and son, and he was really sorry."
"Oh, I can't say that. This incident happened because of me." Wei Ba said solemnly: "Don't worry, just take care of our injuries in our camp. My father and son will deal with other matters. By the way, it's this... the girl named Peng Xiaoyu came to inform us that she is your real savior. If you want to thank me, thank her. Miss Peng..."
Peng Xiaoyu hurried over: "What are the instructions of the Major General?"
"Well, since you have nowhere to go, you will be in our camp these two days. You have been in the baggage camp for a few years. I believe that nursing the wounded is also an expert. Brother Fu is seriously injured, so I have to ask you to worry."
Peng Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, Major General, I will take good care of Wei Duwei Fu. In the years of my life in the logistics camp, I have the best ability to care for the wounded. Without me, the doctors in the logistics camp will definitely feel a pity."
Thinking of Yang Yi's hesitant expression just now, Wei Ba was relieved and couldn't help but smile and shook his head. It turned out that although this girl was ugly, she was a technical talent. No wonder Yang Yi was reluctant.
"No matter what, thanks to you today. I will never thank you for your kindness. When I have the chance, I will send someone to send the girl back to my hometown and reunite with my family."
"Thank you, Major General."
As they were talking, Wei Wu walked in with a large bowl of mutton. As soon as he entered the tent, the rich aroma of mutton diluted the medicine all over the tent. Wei Wu puffed his cheeks and feasted, holding a thick lamb leg bone in one hand. He took a look and walked to Fu Xing: "Brother Fu, I treat you to mutton. The mutton is very nourishing, which is suitable for healing injuries."
Fu Xing smiled and said, "Thank you little brother."
Peng Xiaoyu quickly took the mutton, carefully picked up a piece, blew it, and sent it to Fu Xing's mouth. Fu Xing opened his mouth and picked it up, chewing it slowly.
"Hehe, I'm not young anymore." Wei Wu raised his chest and pounded it with his greasy hands twice, making a thud: "In another year, I will be fifteen. Then I can go to fight with my father and brother to kill the enemy. Brother Fu, let's fight?"
Wei Ba tugged him: "You're so embarrassed. You want to compete with a wounded person for martial arts. If you want to compete, go find your elder brother, or you can find your father."
"Hehe, what I mean is that when Brother Fu's injury is healed, he will compete before healing. Not now." Wei Wu glared at him and said arrogantly: "Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others' danger?"
"Okay, okay, no, you are a great hero." Wei Ba was not in the mood to fight him.
"It's almost the same." Wei Wu left with satisfaction. As soon as he walked to the door, he turned back and pulled Wei Ba's sleeve with a pleasing look: "Next time there is such a fun thing, you must think of me. Oh, I just heard my father and elder brother say so happily, but I regret it. If I had known it was so fun, I would have followed you."
Wei Ba's face turned dark and thought to himself that you are really not looking at the place. Fu Xing was so hurt, so you knew it was fun? "Get out!" Wei Ba kicked Wei Wu out of the tent.
Seeing the Wei brothers quarrel and looking at Wei Ba’s embarrassed look, Fu Xing smiled: “Your brotherly love is so envious.”
"Ahem, your brothers are not bad either." Wei Ba said politely. He knew that Fu Xing had another brother named Fu Qian, who was currently the Left General and stationed in Jiangzhou with Li Yan. However, as his brother, Fu Qian was responsible for the heavy responsibility of the family and might not have much time to get close to Fu Xing. Seeing their brothers playing and joking, Fu Xing was a little envious.
