Xiahou Hui naturally knew that the false way to destroy Guo came from Zuozhuan. Although Xiahou Mao was not familiar with the art of war, he was also very clear about this allusion. When Wei Ba said these four words, Xiahou Hui was stunned for a moment, but Xiahou Mao
Something suddenly occurred to him, and his face turned cold. Xia Houhui also reacted quickly and couldn't help but sneered: "Wei Ba, if you want to falsely accuse me and defend yourself, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
The corner of Wei Ba's mouth quirked: "As soon as I said it, the girl understood. Is the girl too smart, or has she already figured out that she can't hide it from everyone?"
Xia Houhui snorted: "The Qing Dynasty will be Qing Dynasty. I advise you not to have any whims. My surname is Xia Hou. No one can deny this. You should confess your crime as soon as possible. My uncle is generous and may be able to let you go."
A way out. If you want to continue to hide it and deceive us like fools, you are just bringing trouble upon yourself."
"Girl, if you want to inflict a crime, why bother? If you really want to get rid of me and bring trouble to the General Hussar and his son, why bother to go through so much trouble? Just because I disobeyed the princess's order and didn't execute those five
Poor woman, you can use the princess's command to chop off my head, wouldn't it be easier than now?"
As soon as Wei Ba said the words "Destroy Guo by false means", Xia Houhui knew what he was going to say. Now that she heard the words "General Hussar and his son", she knew Wei Ba's "sinister intentions" even more clearly. However,
Some things are not something you can explain clearly just because you know it yourself, just like she wanted Wei Ba to admit that he was faking his surrender. She also knew that there was a very high possibility that Wei Ba was faking his surrender, but she had no definite proof.
To nip it in the bud, even if Wei Ba cannot be proven guilty, he must be driven away from Xiahou Mao and placed under house arrest without giving him a chance to develop. She also hopes that Wei Ba will defend himself. As long as he defends, he will
More flaws may be exposed.
It's a pity that Wei Ba didn't defend herself at all, but pointed out that she had ulterior motives. She had also prepared for this, but the final decision-making power was not with her, but with Xiahou Mao. It was up to her to see whether Xiahou Mao believed her or Wei Ba.
It seems that no matter how stupid Xiahou Mao is, he will not doubt her.
But she soon discovered that things were not as simple as she expected. Xiahou Mao obviously believed in Wei Ba more. She suddenly realized that when Wei Ba mentioned the princess and the five concubines just now, he did not just say it casually, but
It was a real ulterior motive. It was these two points that hit Xiahou Mao's weakness.
"Yuanrong, what did you do to them?"
Xiahou Hui was unable to speak, so Peng Xiaoyu and the others were taken to prison and naturally suffered a lot. As for Xiahou Mao's three beautiful concubines, they were beheaded directly on the order of Princess Qinghe.
"They are dead?" Xia Houmao saw the clue in Xia Houhui's eyes, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.
"They... they live with Wei Ba..." Xia Houhui hesitated, not knowing how to answer Xia Houmao.
"Girl, even if I really pretended to surrender, how could I tell them such a big thing?" Wei Ba blocked Xia Houhui's mouth without giving her a chance to argue. He could see that Xia Houhui was smart, but
She is far from experienced enough to deal with such occasions that require eloquence. What's more, Princess Qinghe's desire to kill those beauties cannot be concealed at all. Even if she can speak like a lotus flower, Xiahou Mao will not believe her.
"Uncle, Wei Ba is pretending to surrender. He approached my uncle because he wanted to harm him." Xia Houhui realized that if she continued to struggle with this issue, she would be even more disadvantaged, so she simply put aside the issue and went straight to the core. She interrupted Xia Houhui
Mao's words pointed out the real problem he faced: "If you lose Guanzhong, or even lose your life, how can those beauties be owned by you even if they are alive? Will they fall into the hands of some people in the end?"
Xia Houmao was stunned for a moment, hesitated, turned to Wei Ba and said, "Are you... really pretending to surrender?"
Wei Ba shook his head in disappointment: "General, please think carefully, have I done anything detrimental to you so far?"
Xia Houmao thought for a while and shook his head. So far, Wei Ba has indeed not done anything detrimental to him.
"Yuanrong, did you make a mistake?"
"Uncle, you have to be careful when dealing with people who surrender..." Before Xiahou Hui could finish her sentence, Wei Ba sneered and interrupted her: "Miss Xiahou, next, are you going to say that you would rather believe it than not?"
Do you believe it? You would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go?"
Xia Houhui was stunned and speechless. She really wanted to persuade Xia Houmao like this, but when these words came out of Wei Ba's mouth, the murderous intent was a bit stronger, and the taste changed a bit. At least she didn't think about killing Wei Ba.
, at most, he would advise Xia Houmao to be vigilant and not regard Wei Ba as his true confidant, so as not to fall into his trap. As long as Wei Ba is placed under house arrest and prevented from reaching the core, even if he feigns surrender, he will not be able to cause much danger.
.
But now that Wei Ba has taken away her lines, no matter how she defends herself, it seems to be a problem.
"General, my decision to stay in Chang'an was a mistake. I should still go to Luoyang. No matter who I go to, it is better than staying with the general. Obviously, some people don't want me to stay with the general."
As Wei Ba spoke, he glanced at Xia Houhui and sighed: "The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. As a descendant, I should keep my power obscure and be wise and protect myself. I should not make suggestions for the general. Now I die unexpectedly, just like
What Miss Xiahou said is bringing the blame upon yourself."
Seeing Xia Houmao's face getting more and more ugly, Xia Houhui couldn't help but lament. She also sighed: "Wei Ba, you have a good pair of lips, which can confuse right and wrong and confuse the public. But if you think you can play tricks on the people of the world,
I'm afraid I'm too self-righteous."
"I'm in prison, and I'm about to lose my head. How can I say that I can control the world at my fingertips? But this girl, with a specious charge, has eliminated a strong enemy for her future husband, and her methods are real.
That's clever." Wei Ba looked up to the sky and laughed, laughed twice, and then suddenly stopped: "Young lady is really a role model for women. She is already married to her husband before she gets married. Master Sima married you. It is the luck of the Sima family. It's a pity.
The fact that you were born to the Xiahou family is not a blessing to the Xiahou family."
Xiahou Hui's face turned red. Wei Ba not only insisted that she had ulterior motives, but also suspected that she would not hesitate to damage her mother's family's interests for the sake of her future husband's family. This charge was much more vicious than Wei Ba's charge of false surrender. You must know that Xiahou's family is not just them.
One family, the Xiahou family is succeeded by the royal family Cao. The Sima family is not as simple as the Sima family. They are also a powerful minister, a powerful minister who is jealous of the emperor.
Sure enough, it was a thief who bit him, and it penetrated three parts of his body. Wei Ba's light words were a crime she could not bear.
"You...you are such a mouthful." As wise as Xia Houhui, she could not keep her cool in the face of Wei Ba's vicious counterattack. She blushed, pointed her halberd at Wei Ba, and shouted sternly: "You are so clever and sycophantic.
You are lustful, and you are trying so hard to get close to my uncle, aren’t you trying to do harm to my uncle?”
Wei Ba looked at the trembling finger in front of him and suddenly felt an evil impulse in his heart. He coughed and smiled faintly: "I think General Xiahou has made his own decision on this, so I don't need to say more."
"Yes, although I am not as scheming and decisive as the Hussar General and his son, I can still tell whether a person is good or bad to me." Xia Houmao said coldly, "Yuanrong, it is exactly that.
Wei Ziyu reminded me that Zhuge Liang may send troops to Longyou, otherwise, I would not be stationed in Guanzhong and build cities. Now facing Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops in the Northern Expedition, I cannot support it now."
"uncle……"
"Stop talking." Xiahou Mao sighed and turned to look at the little beauty sitting in the corner crying: "I, Xiahou Mao, have given birth to the princess, so I shouldn't be greedy for beauty anymore. The princess wants to kill them, so I have no choice.
You can say that. But Wei Ba can help me make great achievements. I think even if the princess comes in person, she will not object to me doing this. Yuanrong, if you must kill Wei Ba, I dare not stop you. I just hope you can wait for a few days.
, how about I wait for this period of time to pass and wait until the general or the hussar general rushes to Guanzhong to support me?"
Xiahou Hui was speechless. General Cao Zhen was her uncle, and Cavalry General Sima Yi was the father of her future husband-in-law. The mention of these two people by Xiahou Mao showed that he was very angry.
Xia Houhui was very aggrieved. She worked tirelessly for Xiahou Mao's safety and traveled here from Chang'an as a woman. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Mao was persuaded by Wei Ba's words and in turn suspected her of ulterior motives. She wanted to turn around and leave.
She didn't care whether Xia Houmao lived or died. But after all, she was a woman with general knowledge. She knew that there was no point in fighting Xia Houmao at this time and would only bring greater harm.
Holding back her tears, she bowed and said: "Uncle, please listen to me. It is always dangerous to surrender people. Back then, Emperor Wen of the People's Republic of China resisted all opinions and favored Meng Da. Not long ago, there was the disaster of Fangling.
.The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and the Yinjian is not far away. Please think twice, uncle, and don't fall into the trap of a traitor."
"Thank you Yuanrong for the reminder." Xiahou Mao waved his hand: "You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest." He turned around and looked at Wei Ba again: "Ziyu, although I believe you, but in this emergency, I
You can't be careless. Please bear with me if I offend you."
Xia Houhui breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Wei Ba, just in time to meet Wei Ba's eyes. Wei Ba shook his head gently: "General, you are a great kindness by not taking my life. How dare I
No complaints. I have no other hope. I only hope that after the general defeats Zhuge Liang, he will let me go east."
Xia Houmao felt a little disappointed after hearing this. Wei Ba was obviously disappointed with him and didn't want to work for him anymore, so he asked to let him go. Thinking of Wei Ba's help to him, especially looking at the little beauty in the corner, he also
I felt that I was a little weak and could not resist the pressure of the princess. Not only could I not keep my beautiful concubine, but I could not even keep the talents that I liked. For a moment, I felt a little depressed, and my ambition to make great achievements was also a little bit weaker.
"Ziyu, you have not let me down, it is I who have let you down." Xiahou Mao sighed, waved his hand, and asked people to take Wei Ba down. He was treated well, and other than not allowing him to move freely, he was not allowed to suffer any ill treatment.
Wei Ba thanked Xia Houmao and bowed to Xiahou Hui: "Girl, you are satisfied now. However, girl, you are not inferior to men, I still hope that you can stay in Xiwu and help the general. Although Zhuge Liang is also a Scholar, but he has an army of 100,000, and it will not be easy for the general to hold on until reinforcements arrive." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Xia Houhui was stunned on the spot. She didn't know whether she had won or failed. If it was said that she had failed, Wei Ba was put under house arrest by Xiahou Mao as she wished. But if she said she had won, why did she feel But there is no joy at all, but an indescribable sense of frustration?
