Xia Houhui and his two maids got out of the car smoothly. Peng Xiaoyu bowed at the door to greet her. Just as she was about to kneel down, Xia Houhui supported her and chuckled: "Okay, although you and I are very different in status, we are
There is no relationship between master and servant. I also know that General Wei does not treat you as an ordinary maid, so you don't need to pay such a big courtesy."
Peng Xiaoyu bowed, and while leading Xia Houhui into the house, he said: "I wonder if you have any advice for me, miss? My master went to Xiwu with the general, and there are some irregularities in the house. Please give me some advice."
Girl, don’t laugh."
Xia Houhui looked around and followed Peng Xiaoyu forward. "I'm here. It's not a big deal. It's just that the princess rewarded your general with a few beautiful concubines. Those beautiful concubines were originally my uncle's concubines.
After all, they are not others. I came here today to see how well they are doing at General Wei's place."
Peng Xiaoyu's eyebrows trembled, and then she shook her head with a wry smile and said nothing. Xia Houhui came to the hall and sat down. Peng Xiaoyu, as half the hostess, accompanied him, and ordered the three beauties left in the house to come up and wait.
Even if they are Xiahou Mao's darlings, they are still slaves in front of Xiahou Hui.
Xia Houhui just glanced at it and then laughed: "It seems that General Wei only has eyes for my uncle."
Peng Xiaoyu bowed and said: "Miss Xiahou, my master doesn't know how to deal with it, so I would like to ask the girl for advice."
Xia Houhui glanced at Peng Xiaoyu and pursed his lips: "Miss Peng, are you testing me?"
"I don't dare. I really don't know how to deal with it, so I have to ask the girl for advice."
Xia Houhui was silent for a moment and sighed: "Let me tell you the truth, I don't know how to deal with it. I don't like these women who entertain others with sex, but as a woman, I also know that they are actually forced by others.
, not because I want to."
Peng Xiaoyu smiled and said nothing. She heard from Wei Ba that the reason why Xiahou Hui's father, Xia Houshang, died early was because of a concubine. Xia Houshang liked that concubine very much, but his first wife - that is,
Xia Houhui's mother was the wife of General Cao Zhen, so Emperor Wen Cao Pi issued an edict to kill the concubine. The concubine was dead, but Xia Houhui's mother could not win back her husband's heart. Xia Houshang actually died because of love.
He was injured and soon died of illness.
This is definitely a result that no one expected. It can be seen that Xia Houshang and the concubine really have feelings for each other. If such a story happened to others, it would be enough to make people sigh. For example, Peng Xiaoyu burst into tears at that time.
Yes, but when it comes to the parties involved, such as Xia Houhui, her feelings are not that simple. After all, her parents were both victims in this incident.
It was precisely because she knew this secret that Peng Xiaoyu responded in this way. She believed that after experiencing such a thing, Xia Houhui could not be as cruel as Princess Qinghe and wanted to execute these poor women immediately.
"Why are there only three and two more?"
"The general asked them to go back to visit relatives." Peng Xiaoyu said calmly: "It will probably take several months before they can come back."
Xia Houhui responded lightly and immediately changed the topic: "I heard that General Wei invented a game. I am very curious. Can you teach me?"
Peng Xiaoyu immediately agreed, and asked the three beauties to bring mahjong and teach Xia Houhui how to play. Xiahou Hui was a smart man with an IQ no less than Peng Xiaoyu. He quickly understood the truth and played a few games.
Pushing it away with one hand, he sighed: "Your general is really a math genius. Even the games he invented are related to math. This game has many changes. I think it will be very popular in the future."
Peng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "My master would be very proud if he could hear the girl's praise with his own ears."
"Is General Wei a person who gets proud easily?" Xia Houhui blinked: "I don't think he is a person who will get proud just because of a compliment from me."
"Others' praise may not matter, but he will definitely be very proud of the girl's praise." Peng Xiaoyu concealed it without leaving any trace. She could tell that Xia Houhui came today not only to see the affairs of those women.
"Miss Peng, you are flattered." Xia Houhui stood up and said, "Although you are a maid in name, I know that General Wei has never treated you as a maid. For you, he even had a conflict with your brother. It can be seen that in his
In my heart, your status is very extraordinary."
"My master is kind to his servants, but not just to me."
"Really?" Xia Houhui took Peng Xiaoyu's hand and chuckled: "No wonder the personal guard named Dunwu next to him is so loyal to him that he never leaves him even when he flees."
"Dunwu is his personal guard, so he will naturally do anything for him."
The corners of Xia Houhui's mouth raised, and her eyes became a little colder. She looked around, and then said: "General Wei is kind to others, but unfortunately, you are not very kind to Miss Peng."
Peng Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows warily, then regained her composure: "Where did you start talking about this, girl?"
"It's very simple." Xia Houhui stood up and looked around. The smile on his face disappeared. "He deliberately purchased family property and pretended that he wanted to live in Chang'an for a long time, but in fact he was just covering up people's eyes and ears and making a living for himself.
Prepare to escape Chang'an. Just like these furniture purchased with a lot of money, you, this unique maid, are just a token for him to win people's trust."
Although Peng Xiaoyu tried her best to stay calm, she still showed panic and uneasiness under Xia Houhui's close gaze. She was a smart woman and had enough scheming, but in front of her was a man with high status both in scheming and status.
As for her opponent, Xia Houhui had doubts about Wei Ba as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, but Wei Ba was cautious and never showed any flaws. Peng Xiaoyu came later, and she had no idea what Wei Ba had said or done.
What? At this point, Peng Xiaoyu knew Wei Ba far less well than Xia Houhui did.
More importantly, she also had the same suspicion in her heart. Wei Ba was hiding something from her. She thought about it and came up with a possibility: Wei Ba was pretending to surrender, so she didn't want her, who was a Wei man to act as the leader's brother, to know the inside story.
He kept her by his side not because he forgave her betrayal, but because he wanted to use her as bait. As Xia Houhui said, a token that blinded people so that he could have a chance to escape.
Originally it was just a guess in her mind without any definite evidence, but now that Xia Houhui said this result in front of her, she suddenly collapsed. The guess that she didn't even want to believe became a fact.
She hoped that she was strong enough to face this result calmly, but unfortunately, she was far from being as strong as she thought. She lost consciousness for just a moment and was tightly grasped by Xia Houhui.
Xia Houhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was far less confident than Peng Xiaoyu thought. Before entering, she didn't even have any conclusive evidence. Otherwise, she would have faced Wei Ba directly, and there was no need to take advantage of Wei Ba.
She came to deceive Peng Xiaoyu when she was away. But now, she was sure that her guess was correct. From the flaws revealed by Peng Xiaoyu, she could be sure that Wei Ba was pretending to surrender, and his purpose was to get close to Xiahou Mao.
This result can explain everything.
After reaching this conclusion, Xia Houhui did not feel proud at all. On the contrary, she became very nervous. Wei Ba was by Xiahou Mao's side at the moment. If he wanted to harm Xiahou Mao, Xiahou Mao would be in danger at any time. Once Xiahou Mao died,
, or if Guanzhong is lost, the Xiahou clan's power in the entire army will suffer another heavy blow, and everyone's lives, including hers, may be in danger.
Xia Houhui sneered, turned around and walked out the door.
Peng Xiaoyu slowly sat down, her face turned pale.
Not long after, a group of soldiers surrounded the house, and everyone including Peng Xiaoyu was arrested and thrown into the dungeon of the Governor's Mansion. Early the next morning, Xia Houhui rushed out under the protection of twenty knights.
From Chang'an City, go straight to Xiwu.
…
As soon as the news of recruiting people to help defend the city came out, it immediately aroused a huge response. Those people who participated in repairing the city originally expected to go home to harvest in the autumn, but now they have to defend the city. The food they have worked hard for a year cannot be harvested, and their livelihoods are at risk.
Without their whereabouts, how would they live the rest of their lives? They all disobeyed Xiahou Mao in various names, and one after another people came to petition Xiahou Mao, making Xiahou Mao extremely annoyed.
Among them was an acquaintance of Wei Ba: Zhao Su.
After Zhao Su yelled angrily in front of Xia Houmao, he withdrew and winked at Wei Ba who was standing in the corridor. Wei Ba nodded, excused himself to show respect, and turned to the side yard. He had just entered the latrine,
Then he saw Zhao Su squatting in the pit. Seeing him, Zhao Su turned his head and motioned for him to squat in the pit next to him. Wei Ba was a little embarrassed, so he had to take off his belt and squat down. Zhao Su didn't do anything either.
He was polite and complained straight to the point: "I'm talking about Wei Ziyu, what on earth are you doing? The Prime Minister has been sending troops for so long, and you still don't contact me?"
Wei Ba laughed: "Gongpu, don't be impatient, just listen to me slowly. Although something unexpected happened, what is before us is an extremely good opportunity. It depends on whether you have it or not."
This is so courageous.”
Zhao Su rolled his eyes and shook the belt hanging around his neck: "Sir, Mr. Wei, I have my head tied to my belt now. Is there anything else I dare not gamble on?"
…
After a long talk with Wei Ba in the hut, Zhao Su, who was relieved of his doubts, felt his legs were a little numb. He limped out of the shed, but his mind was extremely relaxed. He had just got on the bullock cart,
A group of knights galloped from a distance, making a mad rush and rushing towards the city gate. The rapid horse hooves kicked up the billowing smoke and dust, roaring like a giant dragon. Zhao Su had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately covered it with his sleeves.
Mouth and nose. Zhang Wen's reaction was slower, and he was choked and coughed.
"Where did you come from, a reckless man, running for a funeral?" Zhang Wen coughed and cursed in a lowered voice.
Zhao Su chuckled: "Indeed, they are not far from death."
Zhang Wen glanced at him and immediately became energetic, with a strange red light on his face: "How?"
"How?" Zhao Su patted Zhang Wen on the shoulder and gave Zhang Wen a proud look: "You and I, the two salted fishes, have the chance to transform into dragons. Let's see if we can jump over the dragon gate."
