As soon as Xiahou Ba arrived in Chengdu, he was summoned by the Emperor of Han Dynasty. Emperor Liu Chan pointed to the son beside him in front of the officials and said, this is also Xiahou's nephew.
The ministers all agreed, and compared to other new possessors, everyone looked at Xiahou Ba a little differently.
Not long after, General Fei Yi held a banquet at his residence to entertain Xiahou Ba and other scholars who had defected to Wei. He also invited many officials in Chengdu. Guo Xun and even Sima Shi were naturally included in the banquet. Several people from Wei
I happened to be familiar with the environment and know more about the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty.
Xiahou Bayou met Master Sima at a banquet. The two met again in Chengdu, Han Dynasty. It was really awkward and they had nothing to say at first.
After a few rounds of drinking, the sound of drums, chatter and laughter filled the banquet, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer. Master Sima then took the initiative to come forward to chat.
The noise was a bit loud, and Master Sima could only get closer to talk, but it seemed that the two people from Wei State were a bit close. Those among the guests who didn't know the inside story might have thought that these people would stick together.
Master Sima said: "There were indeed many things wrong with what Cao Zhaobo did in the past, which only caused the dissatisfaction of the ministers in the court. My late father had no choice but to do it." After he finished speaking, he sighed, "Who knew that the battle in Luoyang would be called another family?"
Even if the fisherman makes a profit, it will all be in vain.”
Xia Houba couldn't help but said: "Let's just say that General Cao Zhaobo has something wrong. It makes sense that the Sima family wants to seize power. But you promised Cao Zhaobo that as long as he surrenders, he will not kill everyone. For this reason, Sima Gong pointed out that Luo
Water swears!"
Master Sima said: "That's because Cao Zhaobo was not found guilty of treason before, and only later did someone accuse him of treason. How can the serious crime of treason be forgiven?"
Xiahou Ba suddenly sneered.
Master Sima then said with a gloomy expression: "Cao Zhaobo is not alone. As long as he is still alive, the situation may be repeated. However, this matter is limited to Cao Zhaobo's family and his party members. I cannot agree to attack the Xiahou family.
We are in-laws."
Speaking of in-laws, Xiahou Ba remembered what happened at the beginning of last year.
At that time, troops were raised in Yangzhou, and the letter sent by Qin Liang pointed out that Xia Houhui was poisoned by Master Sima! According to Xia Houxuan's opinion, he believed this statement. Xia Houxuan also said that he really wanted to ask Master Sima face to face!
Xia Houba immediately wanted to ask Xia Houxuan, Master Sima, did you poison your wife?
But Xiahou Ba was not drunk yet, so he weighed it secretly and finally held back for the time being.
The topic of killing Cao Shuang's family was brought up just now. Even though it is unpleasant to talk about, it is a matter known to the world, and deliberately avoiding it is just a cover-up. There is nothing that cannot be said.
However, the killing of Xiahou Hui is still uncertain, and it is directly related to the hatred between the Xiahou family and the Sima family. Once it is mentioned, it will almost be a breakup attitude.
Xiahou Ba thought that he had just arrived, but Sima Shi had come to Han last year. Today, Sima Shi was also going to the banquet with General Jiang Wei, so he refrained from mentioning Xiahou Hui for the time being.
Since Master Sima took the initiative to come to talk, it was because he wanted to ease the relationship, even if the relationship between them was only on the surface, and they were harmonious on the surface but not in the heart; but Xiahou Ba believed that it was a necessary choice to stabilize for a while for now.
Moreover, I couldn’t get an answer even after asking Master Sima. It was completely foreseeable that Master Sima would deny it outright, and it was impossible for him to admit it!
The two of them talked from time to time, drank wine, and wasted their time during the dinner.
At this moment, something unexpected happened! Suddenly, a cry of pain came from the superior.
Guo Xun, a native of Xizhou, took out a short sword at some point and quickly stabbed General Fei Yi twice in the chest!
Everyone was shocked, and the conversation and laughter at the table almost stopped abruptly. Xiahou Ba also froze on his seat with a look of surprise on his face, completely confused as to what was going on.
Finally, there was someone next to Fei Yi who reacted quickly. In an instant, he jumped up and tackled Guo Xun, knocking him to the ground. Only then did people react and rush to the top.
"General! General!" someone's voice shouted.
In an instant, two people approached Fei Yi who was in a pool of blood. One of them hugged Fei Yi from behind, and the other hurriedly covered Fei Yi's wound: "General! Let's call the doctor over immediately."
Angrily and cursed voices came from the crowd: "Guo Xun, I call you your mother!" "How has the general treated you? You are an animal that repays kindness with enmity..."
Fei Wenwei always led people with generosity. Whether they were local Shuxi people, Dongzhou people, or Jingzhou scholars, they obviously respected this general. For a time, people in the banquet hall were excited.
In the chaos, suddenly there was another scream. The angry official picked up the dagger used by Zhu to kill Fei Yi, took advantage of the chaos and stabbed Guo Xun randomly, stabbing Guo Xun all over Guo Xun's body crazily, causing Guo Xun to scream in pain.
They screamed and screamed. There were more than one person punching and kicking them. People were furious.
Someone finally woke up and shouted: "Stop! Don't kill him in a hurry!"
But it was already too late. After the people surrounding Guo Xun dispersed, they saw him lying sprawled on the ground, with blood coming out from many places all over his body, and his limbs twitching like a mild epilepsy. Even his neck was covered in blood.
After receiving a blow from the sword, his blood-red flesh was turned out. He looked upward with his eyes wide open, and he was constantly vomiting blood in his mouth. He was losing more air than coming in. It was impossible to save him.
Fei Yi was not that miserable, but not much better.
Although the conditions in Chengdu were the best in the Han Dynasty, famous local doctors and royal doctors were quickly invited, but people still failed to save Fei Yi. Fei Yi's chest was penetrated by a sword, and he died a few days later.
A white cloth was hung up in Fei Mansion, and people came to express their condolences in an endless stream.
At this time, a couple came to the house, claiming to be Taoist priests. When they learned that Fei Yi had been assassinated, they had to come to the mourning hall to worship. Fei's family did not know the two Taoist priests, but as long as someone came to express their condolences when doing white things, the host would
Generally they don't chase people away.
After the Taoist priest and his wife paid homage, they wandered in the courtyard of the mourning hall, still unwilling to leave, and seemed a little at a loss.
Fei Yi's eldest daughter, Fei Shi, noticed the two of them. After a while, she came to the courtyard and asked them what their relationship was with her late father and what else they were doing.
Fei was only about twelve or thirteen years old, but she looked a bit like her father. She had a childish face at a young age, but she was tall. The two Taoist priests saw the standard of her mourning clothes and the respect of the people around her, and they already believed in Fei.
identity of.
The two introduced themselves, the male Taoist's surname was Zhang, and the female Taoist's surname was Yuan, and they took out Fei Yi's token. When Fei recognized her father's things, she immediately covered her face and cried again, and then took the two Taoist priests with her.
We went to the side room to talk.
It turned out that the two Taoist priests had taken refuge in Fei Yi's work. Their leader was Lu Ning, who was still in Luoyang, Wei State. Lu Ning sent them back to report to the general. But unexpectedly, the general Fei Yi had died.
They didn't know who to call back to, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Fei heard that they were the work of her late father, almost equivalent to dead soldiers, and had nothing to do with anyone else in the court...otherwise they wouldn't be wandering around here, not knowing where to go.
So Fei couldn't help but tell them her secret: "The assassin Guo Xun may have been instigated by General Jiang Wei."
Taoist Zhang and his wife looked at each other, not knowing how to respond, so they could only remain silent.
Fei then gritted her teeth and said, "I just heard from the ministers who came to express condolences that Guo Xun only pretended to surrender at first. He was also captured by Jiang Boyue. He must have something to do with the murder of his late father!"
Seeing that Fei lost his father at a young age, Taoist Zhang looked very pitiful while talking and crying, so he sighed: "My servant has no contact with the officials in the court, what can I do for the general?"
Fei choked with sobs and continued: "My late father and Jiang Boyue were both highly regarded by Prime Minister Zhuge, so the ministers were unwilling to investigate further to avoid making this scandal public. It happened that Guo Xun was dead and no real evidence could be found.
Can you think of a way to find out the credentials?"
Taoist Zhang was also surprised that at such a young age, he could explain things in an orderly manner. He thought for a while and said: "The person who used to take orders directly from the general was the Yuan family's ancestor. After the death of the ancestor, he accepted the order from the general in person.
The person responsible for the mission is Mrs. Lu. We are really Taoist priests, and we are just responsible for delivering messages to Mrs. Yuan."
He paused for a moment and then said: "I have no choice but to return to the Kingdom of Wei and tell my wife about the general and the girl, and let my wife decide the rest. The former master is the one who voted for the general, and the master's wife is the wife of the former master.
She should be willing to contribute to the general's affairs."
The female Taoist priest Yuan said kindly and comforted her: "Perhaps the unfortunate incident is really only related to Guo Xun. General Jiang Boyue of the Wei Dynasty has just captured Guo Xun. The relationship between the two should not be deep. I heard that Guo Xun
He has been beheaded and his great revenge has been avenged. My condolences to you, please do not be overly sad."
Fei shook his head and said: "Jiang Boyue and his late father have always been at odds with each other. Their opinions are completely contradictory. It was Jiang Boyue who benefited from his father's death. This matter is not that simple. If you want to know the truth, you need experience.
The people went to investigate secretly."
She looked at Taoist Zhang and said, "But since you said so, I can't force it, so I'll tell Mrs. Lu first."
After hearing this, the two Taoist priests bowed their heads and left.
Their mission to return to the Han Kingdom was not completed. After some discussion, they had to go back to the Wei Kingdom to meet Mrs. Lu. The travel expenses on the road were not small, and it was not useless to get to know the eldest daughter of the general. It was just the right time before leaving.
Asking the girl to finance this kind of expenses should have been paid by the general himself. So two days later, Taoist Zhang and his wife went to the general's mansion again and met the girl Fei.
Fei Yi's family seems to be relatively poor and has no extra wealth, but Fei Wenwei is a general of the Han Dynasty after all, and still has much more financial resources than the Taoist priests.
The Taoist priests who served as messengers only stayed in Chengdu for a few days before embarking on their journey again. Fortunately, they were used to running around. This chapter has been completed!
