Chapter 1025 The Three Kingdoms Return to Jin (The Finale)
Ma Di rushed to Chang'an after a long journey and walked straight into the mansion of Tingwei where the interrogation was taking place. He shook his riding whip, glanced at Li Yan who was blowing his beard and staring, and smiled: "General, it's hard work."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw Ma Su, and then shook his head: "Youchang came so quickly."
"It won't work if you don't hurry up." Ma Su smiled meaningfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has captured Luoyang, and you haven't investigated the cases in the Prime Minister's Mansion clearly yet? When will the military merits of His Highness the King of Jin start to be discussed? There are hundreds of thousands of troops.
, I consume countless amounts of money and food every day, and if you delay for one day, you are just adding to my burden for another day."
Li Yan knew clearly that his mission was over, and it was time for Ma Di and others to appear next.
"Youchang, I'm really not good at these things, so you should take over."
"No, since the general is in charge, of course the general is still in charge. I want to see a few people."
Ma Su's words were incomprehensible, but Li Yan understood. He waved his hand, indicating that Ma Su could help himself.
Ma Di first came to Yang Yi's cell.
Yang Yi was leaning against the wall and sitting in the corner. He had no injuries on his body, but his face was very bad and his eyes were weak. Yang Wei was lying on the side, motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Hearing Ma Su's footsteps, Yang Yi rolled his eyes twice and suddenly became energetic. He rolled and crawled to Ma Su's side. Before he could speak, tears welled up: "You Chang, save me!"
"I can save you, but you must save yourself first!" Someone took a small bed, Ma Di sat down and looked at Yang Yi: "You are responsible for the current accounts of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You have an extraordinary memory. A few years ago
I can remember all the accounts clearly. I don’t believe you don’t have any evidence in your hand.”
Yang Yi hesitated for a moment: "There is some evidence, but it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister."
"It's okay. If you give me the evidence, I will understand if it is related to the Prime Minister." Ma Di smiled: "You don't have some evidence, but I do. Comparing the two, things that were originally unclear will become very clear.
Already."
Yang Wei in the corner suddenly moved: "Can you guarantee the lives of our father and son?"
"Aren't you just worried about the little conflict between your father and son and the Wei family's father and son?" Ma Di said bluntly: "Do you think the King of Jin will lower himself and argue with you over this little thing? If there is any grudge, the Prime Minister and I were
To design and let their father and son serve as bait, this crime is much greater than yours."
Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and sat up: "I also have some evidence related to the Prime Minister's leaked technology."
"That's great." Ma Su clapped his hands and laughed: "In this way, not only can you save your lives, but you may also be able to become a county magistrate or something."
Yang Yi sighed and lowered her head in frustration.
"Okay, Mr. Wei, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting it. It is better to recognize the situation clearly. With your ability, if you persist for a few more years, you may be able to serve as a prefect. This is also an acceptable result for the Yang family."
Yang Yi said nothing more. Ma Di turned around and went to Gu Tan's cell. Although Gu Tan was wearing prison uniform, he was neatly dressed and his hair was combed meticulously. He was sitting upright and kneeling in the middle of the cell when he heard Ma Di's words.
The sound of footsteps. He opened his eyes and smiled.
"You're finally here."
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Of course." Gu Tan nodded: "Although I respect the Prime Minister's personality, I don't agree with the way he does things." He paused and then said: "Although my brother has been placed in important positions by His Highness the King of Jin, this is not the case.
It means I should die."
Ma Su glanced at Gu Tan and nodded. They are all very smart people, so they don't need to speak so clearly, they can just explain it in one point.
Ma Di quickly walked out of the cell and said to Li Yan: "General, you can start the trial. After you are done, you can have a peaceful sleep."
Li Yan shrugged helplessly and ordered another trial.
Two days later, the results of the interrogation came out. It was proved from all aspects that Jiang Wei raised dead soldiers. With the cooperation of Zhuge Liang, he replaced Hu Benlang with dead soldiers. In the name of escorting the envoy of the imperial edict, he went to Qingzhou with the intention of assassinating Jin King Wei Ba.
The evidence is conclusive and unmistakable. It is also clear that Zhuge Dan, Ma Zhong, Zhuge Ke and others accepted the Prime Minister's instructions, cooperated with the Prime Minister's actions, and prepared to seize military power and eradicate their dissidents.
Immediately afterwards, someone else submitted a letter, suspecting that the Prime Minister's office had unclear public and private accounts. Two major items were unclear. One was his military expenditures when he was in Guanzhong. The difference between the income and expenditure was tens of thousands of gold, and he had to recover the arrears from the Nanyang family.
Corresponding to the money incident, it can be concluded that there are financial violations in the Prime Minister's Office. Secondly, when Jiang Wei was the prefect of Dunhuang and Jincheng, almost no commercial tax revenue came in, and it was not used for official affairs in Dunhuang. Most of it was
All became the cost of raising private soldiers. Using the country's wealth to raise private soldiers is suspected of treason.
Soon, someone else wrote a letter saying that when Guan Yu fought in Xiangyang, the Prime Minister had dissuaded the late emperor from sending troops to aid on the grounds that Guan Yu had an arrogant character, was arrogant in taking credit, and would be difficult to control as a young master in the future. He was responsible for Guan Yu's defeat in Maicheng and the loss of Jingxiang.
When there was a conflict between Liu Feng and Meng Da, the prime minister advised the late emperor to consider the future and take the opportunity to remove Liu Feng. When Meng Da was in trouble, he deliberately leaked the news and tried to use Sima Yi to remove Meng Da. The late emperor died and the emperor ascended the throne.
, the Prime Minister deliberately appointed Liao Li as the captain of Changshui School to anger Liao Li, and demoted him to a commoner to eliminate dissidents.
Then, the charges were listed one after another, many of which were far-fetched. But overall, what Zhuge Liang did not only exceeded the authority of a minister, but also the methods used to attack political opponents and eliminate dissidents were too vicious.
, wielding power to an appalling degree.
A few days later, the emperor issued an edict to seize Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's title, regain all his honors, confiscate his family property, and make his family members no longer official slaves. Since Zhuge Liang himself was dead and had governed the country for many years, he was considered a meritorious figure, and he would no longer be held accountable.
Jiang Wei misappropriated public funds, raised dead soldiers, and intended to assassinate important ministers of the country. He also supported his own troops and humiliated the country by losing his troops. He committed a heinous crime. The Yi tribe.
Zhuge Jun, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Dan, Ma Zhong and others participated in the murder of King Wei Ba of Jin and attempted to launch a mutiny. The crimes were unpardonable and they were all sentenced to death. The Yi tribe.
Shangshu ordered Jiang Wan and Prime Minister Chang Shi Zhang Yi to conspire with the Prime Minister. Liu Min and Liu Yu personally participated in the operation and executed them.
Guang Luxun Dong Yun, Deputy Prime Minister Yang Yi, Gu Tan, who joined the army, and others also conspired with the Prime Minister, but no secrets were involved, and the reports were meritorious, so they were demoted to common people.
…
…
With the arrival of Ma Su, a case that had been delayed for more than half a year was solved quickly, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was uprooted. Except for Jiang Wei, whose life and death were unknown due to his capture, none of the people Zhuge Liang trusted back then were
They could not escape. The punishment they received was also related to the degree of trust they received. The more trusted Zhuge Liang was, the heavier the punishment they received. After the purge, there was no one in the court who could speak for Zhuge Liang anymore.
When the storm had not completely passed, Ma Di came to the palace of the hussar general Wu Yi.
Wu Yi frowned. He knew that Ma Di was just a crow and would not bring any good news. He suddenly came from Chengdu, of course, not to serve the emperor, but to speak for Wei Ba. From his ruthless purge of the prime minister
You can tell from the government that this person can do anything now.
"The hussar general despises me a bit." Ma Su said with a smile.
Wu Yi smiled slightly: "Ma Jun is vigorous and vigorous. He is bold and bold. How can Yi dare to despise Ma Jun?"
"That's true." Ma Su did his duty and sighed: "I can't do it if I don't hurry up. General Hussars, the opportunity is fleeting, like a white horse passing by. If we don't seize it, not only will our lives and wealth be guaranteed, but Chang'an may suffer another disaster.
A military disaster."
Wu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why do you see it?"
"The King of Jin took Luoyang in a battle. Naturally, the reason was that Luoyang was divided into separate areas and could not work together. However, even if they wanted to defend it, could they hold it? The King of Jin was not a famous general, but he handed over the command of the army.
Lu Xun. Don’t General Hussars feel jealous of this trust and respect?”
Wu Yi stroked his beard and was silent.
"The world is so big, King Jin has four out of five, and the situation is already very clear. Even if the Hussars General wants to fight with all his strength, he may not be able to turn the tide. Not to mention the 100,000 troops under the King of Jin, even the men and horses in Sima Yi's hands.
You can't resist it, right?"
Wu Yi's face became even more ugly.
Wei Ba captured Luoyang, and Xiahou Ba and others surrendered. Now only Sima Yi of Jinyang and Wang Ling of Hedong were left in Wei. Wei Ba did not launch an attack, and they did not express their intention to surrender. They seemed to have forgotten each other.
However, everyone understands that when Wei has surrendered, neither Sima Yi nor Wang Ling has any other way out except surrender.
Not surrendering just because not surrendering is more useful.
For example, attack Guanzhong.
Wu Yi now has more than 20,000 people, but the most he can really control is 10,000 people. The rest of the people are hard to understand. Moreover, Guanzhong is dominated by followers of Tianshi Dao. Wei Ba destroyed Wei State, but retained
A Wei king was born, Cao Yu, the former King of Lu. Cao Yu’s wife was the daughter of Tianshi Zhang Lu, and his admiration for Tianshi Tao had been fully demonstrated. In this case, the followers of Tianshi Tao would fight for Liu Chan
Is it the right thing to do with Wei Ba?
"I also heard that the King of Jin not only got the imperial seal, but also found the queen of Emperor Xiaoxian." Ma Di continued: "The queen of Emperor Xiaoxian is named Cao. No matter how strong she is, for the benefit of the Cao family, she
I’m afraid I won’t be so determined anymore. General, do you want to wait until the King of Jin declares that the Chang’an court is against the orthodoxy before taking action?”
Wu Yi took a breath of air.
Wei Ba captured Luoyang, and four out of five people in the world did not come to Chang'an. Why? He was waiting for Liu Chan to take the initiative to abdicate. If Liu Chan refused to abdicate, it didn't matter to him. He held the imperial seal in his hand, so he could
Move out the deposed Empress Xian of the Han Dynasty and directly inherit the tradition of the Han Dynasty. At that point, the Chang'an court will have nothing.
What's even more troublesome is that if Wei Ba wants to do that, he will definitely have to borrow the power of the aristocratic families in Luoyang, including his original power and the newly conquered Wei power, and these people in Chang'an will lose their opportunity, and even
He might become Wei Ba's enemy. If that happened, wouldn't those people hate those who were qualified to persuade Liu Chan to abdicate? If he still refused to take action, someone would soon jump out to take the credit.
He looked at Ma Su, slowly stood up, and bowed to Ma Su respectfully: "Youchang, it's better for you to be aware of the subtleties and make a decisive decision. Otherwise, I will really be a sinner for the ages."
Ma Su smiled and returned the salute: "General, you fought alongside His Royal Highness the King of Jin back then, so you should know him best. I'm just showing off."
…
Jiang Wei blocked his forehead with his hand to block the dazzling sunlight. He had stayed in the dark dungeon for countless years. When he suddenly left the dungeon, he felt that it was too bright outside. The sunlight was like a needle, stinging his eyes and hurting his heart.
Not appropriate.
Not long ago, he was woken up from his sleep, pushed into a pond, and ordered to wash himself off. His tone was so bad that he wanted to drown himself in the pond. However, he still restrained himself.
own impulse.
Just because of one sentence: King Jin wants to see you.
He survived the defeat. He endured so much pain and humiliation just for this day. He wanted to ask Wei Ba a few words before he could die with peace of mind and follow in the footsteps of the prime minister under the Nine Springs.
The shackles rattled, their wrists were abraded, and their ankles were sore. Their flesh and blood were already mutilated. Jiang Wei used all his strength to hold on to the iron chain, but sadly found that he could not even lift it. It took several months.
Imprisonment has caused the strong body he was once proud of to disappear without a trace.
Jiang Wei sighed and slowly moved forward.
"Wait!" a jailer shouted, walked over, opened his shackles, and then shouted impatiently: "Let's go."
Jiang Wei was a little surprised, but after the heavy shackles were removed, he felt much more relaxed. He couldn't help but thank the jailer. Then he followed the waiting soldiers and strode towards the city wall.
Climbing the city wall, Jiang Wei discovered that he was in Chang'an. This was the Jianzhang Palace in Chang'an. Standing in front of him was the Baichilan, Zhuge Liang's favorite place to climb when he was alive. He couldn't help but froze for a moment, remembering that night
.If he hadn’t planned to assassinate Wei Ba that night, maybe he wouldn’t be where he is today.
Alas, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in regretting it. Jiang Wei sighed secretly and stepped onto the stairs.
The soldier stood at the door and had no intention of watching him go up. Jiang Wei didn't care, holding on to the stairs, and walked up step by step. Baichilan is very high, and there are many stairs, so many that it makes people dizzy, and Jiang Wei is overwhelmed by the number of stairs.
He doubted whether he could reach the top. When he finally saw Wei Ba standing in front of the railing, he was panting so hard that his lungs were about to explode. He had no strength at all and wanted to sit down on the ground.
He held on to the pillar and gasped for air, his breathing sound like the wind passing through a hundred feet.
"Have you seen those people?" Wei Ba did not look back and pointed to the distance: "That is the third group of envoys sent by His Majesty."
Jiang Wei subconsciously looked forward along Wei Ba's arm. In the distance, between the shades of trees, a group of people was meandering forward. From the clothes of these people, Jiang Wei could tell that they were the emperor's messengers.
.
The messenger of the emperor was of course the one delivering the edict. Jiang Wei thought for a moment and thought about what kind of edict he should deliver.
"The Emperor wanted to meditate on me. According to the rules, I gave in three times. This is the third time." Wei Ba put down his arm and patted the railing: "So, I still talk to you as the King of Jin. In a few more days
In time, I will be the emperor of the Jin Dynasty."
Jiang Wei held his breath and his scalp felt numb.
"Things are simpler than I thought." Wei Ba continued: "First, the emperor was very happy. Someone wrote a letter to persuade him to abdicate, and he immediately agreed. I think what he meant was that this emperor has long been boring, so it is better to do it earlier
He gave in and was at ease. Don't you think it's strange? In fact, it's not strange at all. Although he has been sitting on that throne, he actually knows that he can't actually make any decisions, and the prime minister is doing everything. The prime minister died.
Yes, there are people like you who want to inherit the Prime Minister's power without overestimating his own capabilities and let him continue to be a decoration."
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "He ruled from the top down. Unfortunately, it was not voluntary, but forced. Because of you, the throne has become a burden, a burden that you can't wait to throw away immediately. I believe that he is sincere in his Zen position now."
Yes, so I want to thank you."
Jiang Wei's face turned very white, so white that there was no trace of blood.
"Secondly, the ministers are very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that I didn't expect it. People from Chang'an and Luoyang sent letters one after another to persuade people to study, and their words were so flattering that even I found it ridiculous. Do you know who was the first person to persuade people to study?
This old guy is really smart. As soon as he heard that a letter of abdication had arrived in Chang'an, he surrendered immediately. He even offered an auspicious omen, saying that a yellow dragon appeared in Jinyang. Wow, it's a shame he could think of it.
"
"I can't help but give him face for him to be so amused. It is indispensable for him to become a marquis and a general. It's just that he is old and has only a few years to live. He is working so hard not because of his lame son." Wei Ba glanced at him.
He glanced at Jiang Wei and said, "Don't blame yourself. In fact, it's the same with or without you."
Wei Ba laughed again and said with unspeakable ridicule: "You always talk about the people's support. I don't know if I have won the people's support due to the current situation. But I know that you are definitely not as righteous as you think."
Wei Ba waved his hand, and a soldier took a dossier and placed it in front of Jiang Wei.
"This is a file about the assassination case. It contains the charges against each of you. You can see which one is made out of nothing." Wei Ba chuckled and said, "The Prime Minister rules the country by law. I very much agree with this and will do the same."
Keep at it. But he himself failed to start well and end well. Not only did he often say things he didn't mean, but the final strategy of assassination was really a big mistake. I think if it weren't for you Jiang Wei, he probably wouldn't have made such a stupid move.
.Jiang Wei, the prime minister’s reputation both before and after his death was ruined by your hands.”
Wei Ba said. He turned around and walked towards the stairs. Just as Jiang Wei was about to call him, Wei Ba turned around again, looked at Jiang Wei, and blinked: "There is something I almost forgot to tell you. You were supposed to be a member of the Yi tribe.
Yes, but your mother said that since the first Northern Expedition and you refused to go home, she no longer has a son like you, so she should not be implicated now. I think it makes sense, so I didn’t kill her."
Jiang Wei's throat seemed to be blocked by something, but tears burst out.
I don't know when. Wei Ba has left. Jiang Wei sat blankly on the hundred-foot railing, motionless. The file was placed in front of him. He didn't turn it over. He knew what he had done. Since Wei Ba
If Ba wants to find out his crimes and crucify him on the pillar of shame, then he will do it perfectly. Wei Ba doesn't need to find out the crimes at all, as long as he finds the evidence, he can do it perfectly.
Even if Wei Ba really made something out of nothing, he would not dwell on such details. If you lose, you will lose. If the crime is big or small, there is no difference.
What he cared about were Wei Ba's words.
The emperor has long felt bored. Because of you, the throne has become a burden.
The prime minister's reputation during his lifetime and after his death were ruined by your hands.
Your mother said she no longer had a son like you.
Jiang Wei's heart ached, and all his defenses were shattered by these words, leaving him scratched to pieces.
At night, when the grand Zen ceremony was held in the newly renovated Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, Jiang Wei straightened his clothes, bowed three times to the west, hugged the thick volume, and jumped down the hundred-foot barrier.
The loud "bang" sound was the last sigh he left to the world.
In a tent more than 1,000 miles away from Chang'an and more than 1,000 miles west of Dawan, Qiaoyue was covered in sweat and dying, but her expression was a little excited. She looked at the man in her arms who still had blood on his face and was crying loudly.
The child showed a tired smile. A Qiang woman came in, looked at Qiaoyue, and said with a smile: "Madam, he is a very strong boy. Hearing this cry, you know that he will be a great hero in the future."
"I don't want him to be a hero, I just want him to live a peaceful life."
The Qiang woman was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Give him a name."
Qiao Yue thought for a while: "Let's call her Jiang Kui. The general said that with Kui's help, the Jiang family won't be the last to have any descendants, and I'll have an idea."
Outside the door, a strong Qiang man was holding a machete, paying careful attention to everything around him.
…
In the 16th year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Chanchan, the later lord, succeeded Wei Ba, the king of Jin Dynasty. In October of Gengwu, Wei Ba ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Taiping in Jin Dynasty.

, Chen Jiwei will be a great craftsman.

…
In Jiaxu, the Jin Emperor worshiped the ancestral temple. He posthumously named his father Wei Yan the Emperor Gao, his mistress Zhang the Empress Dowager Yongle, and his biological mother Deng the Empress Dowager Yong'an.
In Yihai, Guan Feng was granted the title of Queen, and Xia Houhui, Peng Xiaoyu, and Yang Huiyu were nobles, but the rest had nothing to gain.
Bingzi granted Wei Feng the title of King of Chu, with Du Linhao. Wei Wu became the acting king, with the title of Du Dai, and was in charge of the army. His younger sister Wei Yinglan was made the princess of Guangling. The other ten brothers were made princes. None of them were in charge of the army.
…
Autumn, Yangping Mountain.
Ma Wenshan, the Marquis of Anping's wife, stood on the mountain, looking at the familiar scenery in front of her, and suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Ma Cheng asked in confusion. The brother and sister had just finished paying homage to their father, Ma Chao, and were walking casually. They didn't know how they ended up here. There were mountains and rivers, and the scenery was beautiful. They were all in a good mood, but
I know why Ma Wenshan sighed.
"The first time I met His Majesty, it was here." Ma Wenshan pointed to the hillside: "At that time, he was talking about Guanhou and Zhanghou with the king."
Ma Cheng glanced at the hillside that Ma Wenshan pointed to and couldn't help but be silent. He knew that Wei Ba once liked Ma Wenshan very much, and he was attracted to her intentionally or unintentionally. Later, there was no result due to a combination of circumstances. Ma Wenshan was arranged by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.
He married Liu Li, while Wei Ba was struggling to survive under the pressure of the prime minister, and was in danger of dying at any time. But who would have thought that ten years later, Wei Ba, who was in his thirties, would become the world leader.
The line of prime ministers was neglected, and only one honorary Tinghou remained.
If Ma Wenshan had married Wei Ba, given the strength of the Ma family, even if she cannot compare with Guan Feng now, at least she would not be worse than Xia Houhui.
Unfortunately, nothing can be assumed.
Ma Cheng felt inexplicably regretful. He looked towards Dingjun Mountain in the distance and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "There are so many people, could it be that someone came to pay homage to the Prime Minister?"
"Who dares to come to pay homage to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in such a big way?" Ma Wenshan also noticed. With so many people accompanying him, he obviously had no intention of covering up people's ears. But who was so bold that he dared to come to pay homage to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in such a big way. Although Zhuge Liang was not punished in the end
The owl was dragged out of the coffin and his head was displayed to the public, but his crimes were very clear. It was only in the end that the emperor believed that his merits and demerits were balanced and gave him a lighter sentence, so that he did not suffer humiliation.
"Let's go take a look."
"It's better not to read it." Ma said with care: "Don't make yourself angry."
Ma Wenshan sneered, jumped on his horse, and ran towards the distance with a dozen followers. Ma Cheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "You are almost thirty, and you are still as willful as a child. There is really nothing you can do."
He called his entourage, packed his things, and followed him.
…
In front of Zhuge Liang's tomb, Wei Ba, dressed in regular clothes, respectfully offered incense and sacrifices. Then he raised his wine glass, bowed his head to the sky and the earth, and sprinkled the last glass of wine in front of the tomb.
Huang Yueying stood aside quietly, and Zhuge Zhan, who was already twelve years old, returned the gift seriously.
After the ceremony, Wei Ba bowed to Huang Yueying and saluted: "My condolences, madam!"
Huang Yueying returned the courtesy and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. My late husband has been buried here for several months. Apart from some common people and distinguished nobles, Your Majesty is the first one."
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Don't take it to heart, madam. Although I didn't have the opportunity to list Mr. Li's family, I have read his books and learned from his teachings, and I have always regarded him in my heart."
It’s just for the teacher.” He paused and said with a self-deprecating smile, “It’s just that he never regarded me as his disciple.”
Huang Yueying shook her head: "I know my husband's thoughts best. Although he does not regard your majesty as his disciple, he always thinks that your majesty is the person who understands his knowledge most profoundly. In many places, your majesty is already better than his master."
She pulled Zhuge Zhan to her side and stroked Zhuge Zhan's head: "Your Majesty can take care of the old relationship and leave some blood for him. We and I are very grateful. God helps the benevolent. Your Majesty has a kind heart, and you will definitely be blessed in the future."
Wei Ba laughed. He looked at Zhuge Zhan and said: "I never expect any good fortune, nor am I afraid of any bad retribution. Because I know that in the world, it does not mean that you will get melons if you sow melons, and you will get melons if you sow beans.
I will definitely get the beans. All I can do is to make myself stronger and stronger than any enemy. Only in this way can the initiative be in my hands."
He smiled and said solemnly to Zhuge Zhan: "Siyuan, your father taught me this, and I will teach it to you today. I told Zhuge Pan at the beginning that if you want revenge, I will wait for you. Today
, I still say this, if you want revenge, I will be waiting for you at any time. Your father is gone, and I am very lonely. If you wait until that day, I am already old, it doesn’t matter, my son will accept your challenge. "
Zhuge Zhan was a little nervous and didn't know how to answer Wei Ba. However, Wei Ba did not explain anymore. He saluted Huang Yueying and turned to leave.
After descending the mountain, he was about to mount his horse when he suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.
In the distance, a graceful and vigorous figure galloped over on horseback.
Wei Ba raised his hand and stopped Tang Qianyu who was about to order someone to intercept him. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure who was getting closer and closer.
In a daze, he seemed to be back to that morning when the dew wet the grass eleven years ago.
