With a smile on his face, Xia Houmao carefully welcomed Princess Qinghe into the door. In Chang'an, he was General Anxi and Governor of Guanzhong. He was undoubtedly the first in command, but as soon as Princess Qinghe came, he was automatically demoted to the second in command.
This princess of Qinghe is no ordinary woman. If she gets angry, the city of Chang'an will tremble, and even the city of Luoyang will feel the earthquake. What's more, Xiahou Mao knows very well why his husband is here.
, if you wait carelessly, the consequences will be serious.
"Princess, please." Xia Houmao said with a smile: "I knew that the princess had arrived outside the city, and I should have gone out to greet her. Unfortunately, when I was about to go out, an intruder came, claiming to be a subordinate of General Hussars. He was captured by Shu in Fangling.
The army captured him alive, and he almost had the sacrificial flag cut off by the soldiers. Fortunately, he was rescued and escaped all the way to Chang'an. As the general of Anxi and the governor of Guanzhong, I had to ask questions first, so I am delayed. Please forgive me, princess."
Princess Qinghe walked in with her head high and her chest high, while saying sarcastically: "Although I am a princess, I am a woman who has entered the family. I know that General Anxi is busy with military affairs, how dare I ask you to greet me? I have come all the way here,
I just hope that there is still room for me to gain a foothold in this mansion, and I don’t dare to expect too much.”
Xia Houmao laughed awkwardly: "Princess, you see what you said, now that you are here, who else is more noble than you in this mansion, how can there be no place for you? I just dare to ask the princess to show mercy and give
I'll leave some..." He patted his powdered old face and begged: "Leave some room for me, I'd be very grateful."
Princess Qinghe sneered: "So, as long as I save face for you, everything else will be decided by me?"
Xiahou Mao groaned and didn't dare to answer. He had known for a long time that Princess Qinghe was coming with bad intentions and had already been careful with her. However, it was obvious that he underestimated Princess Qinghe's anger level. The murderous intent in the princess's words was quite serious.
He had no doubt that as long as he nodded, the dozen or so beautiful concubines he had worked so hard to collect would fall into place immediately.
It shouldn't, it shouldn't, it shouldn't. Xiahou Mao was very distressed, his face was as painful as constipation, and it was a very serious kind.
Seeing Xia Houmao's embarrassment, the girl sighed secretly and spoke to help him: "Uncle, how could a subordinate of General Hussar come to Chang'an? Even if he escaped, he should go to Wancheng.
"
Xia Houmao glanced at the girl gratefully and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence. When he was imprisoned in Mianyang, he happened to be imprisoned with a Shu people. When the craftsmen rescued him, they also rescued the Shu people.
He came out. And that person from Shu was a relative of Wei Yan. He obtained several road biographies and then came all the way to Chang'an."
"Wei Yan's relatives?" the girl asked curiously, "How could Wei Yan's relatives help us, the Great Wei, enter the country?"
"This matter is so bizarre to mention." Xiahou Mao was worried that there was no other topic to interrupt him. Seeing that the girl was so knowledgeable, he immediately became energetic, pretended to be very excited, and talked loudly. He talked about Wei
The words compiled by Ba and Jin Dongliu were told again with added details. The story was still the same, but it was more twists and turns, and it gripped the heartstrings. It turned out to be an extremely thrilling legend when written down.
Princess Qinghe was originally very angry. As soon as she entered the house, she wanted to start an attack. She dragged out those charming women who made her very unhappy and chopped off their charming heads. The girl interrupted. She was not happy at first, but for the girl.
For the sake of her favorite junior, she immediately interrupted them, but as soon as Xiahou Mao started telling the story, she was attracted, and for a moment she forgot to investigate Xiahou Mao's affair with Hongxing.
Xiahou Mao secretly looked at Princess Qinghe and saw that her attention had been successfully diverted. He was overjoyed and even more so when he said it. Unfortunately, this story could not be told indefinitely. When they came to
Chang'an, he had no choice but to end this brilliant speech with endless regrets. Then, before Princess Qinghe came to her senses, he immediately invited her into the inner room and told her to arrange a reception banquet, thus escaping from the princess's aura.
After controlling the range, he let out a long breath.
Seeing the room that had been deliberately tidied up but still filled with the smell of other women, Princess Qinghe's anger level skyrocketed again. She glared at the girl unhappily: "Yuanrong, you also helped him deal with me, but I am so painful.
You? Is it because your surname is Xiahou and my surname is Cao?"
The girl smiled sweetly and said: "Princess, I am not helping him, but I am helping the princess."
"How do you say this?" Princess Qinghe knew that the girl was lying to her, but her expression softened.
"Princess, can't you hear it?" The girl obediently leaned next to the princess, lowered her voice, and pretended to be very mysterious. "The story of the general named Jin Dongliu who escaped from Hanzhong is a bit strange.
.I think there may be a conspiracy here. At this time, how can we distract General Anxi and affect national affairs because of a trivial matter in the boudoir?"
"Qiqiao?" Princess Qinghe raised her eyebrows. She was not happy with Xiahou Mao's hiding of the beauty in the golden house, but the matter was related to the situation in Guanzhong and her husband's future, so she could still distinguish the seriousness. After hearing what the girl said was so serious,
She also became a little nervous, and quickly asked the girl to sit next to her, and hurriedly urged: "Yuanrong, hurry up and tell me."
The girl originally just wanted to figure out Princess He's heart, but seeing how serious she was, she had to be careful. She rolled her eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered the man she saw at the gate of the city. Although his clothes were in tatters, his expression was unusual.
The young man who entered the room couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
Seeing that the girl was deep in thought, Princess Qinghe did not dare to disturb her and waited anxiously. Her face turned red with anxiety and her breathing became short. The girl woke up with a start. Seeing her look like this, she knew that she was...
Xia Houmao was anxious and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
"Princess, think about it, this Jin Dongliu is going to sacrifice the flag when he sends out troops. What an important thing he is. How could Shu not keep a close guard on him? But why did Shu treat him as an insignificant person like the Wei family?
Locked together?”
"Is it insignificant?" Princess Qinghe recalled the story Xiahou Mao told and was puzzled: "That Shu infiltrator is related to Wei Ba's assassination of Zhuge Qiao. It should be very important, right?"
"No, if it's important, who is more important than Wei Ba, who killed Zhuge Qiao? If he is important, he should be imprisoned with Wei Ba, not just someone related to this matter." Xia Houhui said indifferently.
She was unhappy, but her mind was moving very fast. She seemed to have found something unreasonable, but she didn't know what the problem was at the moment. She could only think about it while talking.
... Wei Ba in the post house didn't know that the plan carefully planned by him and Zhuge Liang was inadvertently discovered by a young talented girl. If Xiahou Mao hadn't unintentionally embellished it, making the facts even more confusing.
, I am afraid that the development of things will surprise him.
Wei Ba, who was under house arrest in the post house, felt that life passed very slowly and very fast. The reason why it was so slow was because he was bored. Yaoyao looked at Fang Yao and was not allowed to leave the post house even half a step. Every day, he looked forward to the sun going down early.
He could go to bed and rest, but the sun seemed to be frozen, and it took him a while to move just a little bit. It was so fast because the time Zhuge Liang gave him was limited. If he couldn't complete the task within the stipulated time, then the Ziwu Valley Plan would be forgotten.
If he gives up completely, Zhuge Liang will re-implement his Longyou plan.
Wei Ba can understand Zhuge Liang's mood at this moment. As Zhuge Liang, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, his pressure is actually very great, which is unimaginable for ordinary people. Wei Ba is working so hard because he just wants to reverse the future of the Wei family.
But Zhuge Liang was under greater pressure. Not only did he have to fulfill the last wish of the late emperor Liu Bei and be a trustworthy minister, but he also had to seek benefits for the Jing Xiang people who followed him. These people left and came to Yizhou.
Isn't it just for glory and wealth? If we can't give them glory and wealth, maybe overnight, these people will disperse like birds and beasts and return to their hometowns. With their family background and talents, which country will they not have a chance in? It's just an opportunity.
It's just a big or small difference.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang cannot afford to delay. He must win as soon as possible and consolidate his position. Only by consolidating his position can he ensure Jing Xiang's interests and gather these people around him. In turn, only by gathering these people around him can he
, only then can he consolidate his position and fulfill the late emperor's last wish.
He couldn't afford to delay and had to win before others lost their patience.
Wei Ba also couldn't afford to delay. It was the best opportunity he could get to get Zhuge Liang to relent and officially put the Ziwu Valley project on the agenda. By seizing this opportunity, he might not only change the fate of the Wei family, but also
It may change history. If he loses this opportunity, no matter how hard he tries, it will be difficult to turn the wheel of history.
History has its own inertia. If you are not standing at that turning point, no matter how hard you try, failure will still be waiting for you in the end. If you call out from a high place and respond at a young age, it can only be a dreamlike fantasy.
You can listen to the story, but if you really do this, you will definitely die miserably. Brothers Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo are all living examples, and the lessons are not far away.
He was fortunate enough to stand at this turning point, and had the support of Zhuge Liang, and had the qualifications to reverse history. Whether he could complete the task was closely related, and he did not dare to take anything lightly.
Before that, Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang had many discussions, and he also anticipated many difficulties in his mind, but he never thought that just when he wanted to turn the wheel of history, a talented girl would come to Chang'an.
, just to resolve the conflict between Xiahou Mao and Princess Qinghe, but unexpectedly touched a corner of the truth and pushed him into unexpected danger.
Perhaps, this is the revenge of history, the revenge of someone who tried to disrupt the situation.
