The Prime Minister's army tent was very spacious, and it would not become cramped because of these few people. However, Liu Yan's miserable cries that could almost tear the tent apart completely washed away the original solemn atmosphere, and there was no trace of it left.
Due dignity.
Zhuge Liang coughed lightly. This sound was not loud, but it had an amazing effect on other people's ears. Especially Liu Yan, who was crying like a shrew. After hearing this cough, he immediately closed his eyes tightly.
Even if he was sweating from the pain, he didn't dare to shout again. He bit his lips tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked at Zhuge Liang pitifully, slowly bent his knees, and knelt down with a plop.
He fell to the ground and cried: "Prime Minister, this man is arrogant and rude. I have offended the following, please Prime Minister to seek justice."
Zhuge Liang glanced at him and waved his hand: "Get up and stand aside until I ask what the situation is."
"Here..." Liu Yan covered her hands, struggled to wipe away her tears with her arms, and stood aside aggrievedly, sobbing softly. The big tent became quiet, and there was a heavyness that made people breathless.
Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhuge Qiao and Fu Xing at the entrance of the tent and waved. Zhuge Qiao rushed forward, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, my subordinate just left the camp and happened to meet Fu Xing. He was there at the time, so my subordinate
Bring him here."
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Fu Xing, how did Liu Yu conflict with Wei Ba, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Fu Xing stepped forward to salute and said in a deep voice: "Exactly."
"Okay, tell it truthfully."
"Here." Fu Xing looked at Wei Ba, then at Liu Yan, hesitated for a moment, and began to describe the situation. Wei Ba stood aside without saying a word, looking at Fu Xing with a half-smile. What would Fu Xing say?
He didn't know it clearly, but he didn't place his hopes on Fu Xing. Since Fu Xing and Liu Yu would be together, of course the relationship between them must be close to a fellow countryman they had never met. If Fu Xing went astray and distorted the facts,
, he can also understand.
However, to his surprise, Fu Xing did not do this. He told the story of the conflict after entering the camp exactly as it was. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that when they entered the camp on horseback, Liu Yan
His eyes became very unkind and he glared at Fu Xing fiercely. If he hadn't been in front of Zhuge Liang, maybe he would have pounced on Fu Xing and beaten him up.
When Fu Xing told how Wei Ba repeatedly called Liu Yu a beauty, Liu Yu became so angry that he had someone beat Wei Ba, and when it got to the point where he drew his sword to kill Wei Ba, Liu Yan could no longer bear it.
He rushed forward, raised his hand and slapped him: "Zhuzi, how dare you slander anyone? I understand, you are also from Yiyang, and he is also from Yiyang, so I want you to help him, right?"
Fu Xing's face was burning. He took a step back and bowed: "Reporting to the general, I just told the truth. There was nothing to hide, and there was no favoritism because we were both from Yiyang. If the general doesn't believe it,
You can go check it out in the camp and you will understand."
"Nonsense, you are clearly favoring him!" Liu Yan roared angrily: "Even if Yu'er did anything wrong, it was you people, especially you who led her astray..."
Wei Ba watched coldly, very satisfied with Liu Yan's unreasonableness and stupidity. Zhuge Liang sighed and waved his hand: "Come here, help the general down to rest. Wei Ba, I already know what happened.
The problem is not yours. However, you broke off General Hou's finger and slapped him in public, which is suspected of committing the following crimes. Since he insulted your father first, I will not argue with you about this matter. But young man
The warning is fighting. In the future, you must be more calm in your actions and never be so reckless again. Do you remember this?"
Wei Ba bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your teaching. Wei Ba will definitely remember it in my heart."
"Okay, you go back first. Leave your account book here, and I will hand it over to Yang Canjun."
"Thank you, Prime Minister. I'll take my leave." Wei Ba glanced at the pale Liu Yan, and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly saw Fu Xing standing aside with his head lowered. He couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He had a good impression of Fu Xing, of course not.
He hoped that he would be killed by Liu Yan because of this. But at this moment, it was impossible for him to threaten Liu Yan in front of Zhuge Liang, and of course Liu Yan would not listen to him. He thought for a while, turned around and walked to Fu Xing
, bowed and saluted. Fu Xing was startled and quickly returned the salute.
"Thank you Brother Fu for speaking up, otherwise I would not be able to cleanse myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River today."
"Brother Wei, what you said is wrong. Even if I don't tell the truth, with the knowledge of the Prime Minister, how can I make Brother Wei feel wronged?" Fu Xing was obviously much more mature. He quickly gave Wei Ba a wink to signal him not to say anything wrong.
I failed to thank the wrong person.
Wei Ba knew it well, but deliberately said: "The Prime Minister has so many things to do, how can he have time to care about such a small matter? Even if I can figure it out in the future, I will always have to suffer the temporary grievance. I will keep Brother Fu's great kindness in my heart and report it to my father."
After that, I will visit you again to say thank you."
"Thank you very much." Fu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. With a military commander like Wei Yan interceding for him, even if Liu Yan couldn't tolerate him, Zhuge Liang would not make it difficult for him. He would definitely not be able to survive under Liu Yan.
Wei Yan may have a better future on this road.
Wei Ba thanked him again and then came out of the tent. As soon as he came out of the tent, he saw a terrifying scene. Wei Feng and Wei Wu came with a dozen guards with unkind expressions, and a
They were brightly armored and fully armed, as if they were going to war. Although there were not many guards, they were walking in a charging formation, with a posture of snatching people if they disagreed. The guards in the Chinese army camp were like this
Facing a powerful enemy, they couldn't react too fiercely. After all, the opponent only had about ten people. Only the guards in front of the big tent didn't dare to be careless and put up a defensive formation intentionally or unintentionally. The other guards were just more vigilant, but they didn't
Their natural expressions revealed their nervousness and alertness at the moment.
"Brother, what are you..."
Wei Feng rushed to Wei Ba, winked, then held Wei Ba's shoulders with both hands, looked up and down in an exaggerated manner, and said nervously: "Aba, you are not injured anywhere, are you?"
Are people bullying you?"
Wei Ba suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "Brother, where did you go with your words? With the Prime Minister here, who can bully me? I am very good and nothing has happened to me."
"That's good, that's good." Wei Feng waved his hand, and the guards rushed over, surrounding Wei Ba in the middle, and protecting him tightly. Wei Feng said softly: "Wait for me a moment, I will
Go into the tent, say a few words to the Prime Minister, and then come out."
Wei Ba nodded repeatedly, grabbed Wei Feng and told him what happened in the account just now, mentioning Fu Xing in particular. Wei Feng raised his eyebrows: "He helped. That would be easier, don't worry.
He has helped you, and he is a friend of my Wei family. If anyone dares to touch him, our Wei family will not sit idly by."
After saying that, Wei Ba walked to the door of the tent, changed his respectful posture, and signed up to come in. Not long after, Zhuge Liang sent an order for him to enter the tent. Wei Feng lowered his head, entered the tent, and knelt down in front of Zhuge Liang with a plop.
: "Prime Minister, I am guilty, please Prime Minister punish me."
Zhuge Liang looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
Wei Feng squeezed his eyes hard and sniffed again, making his voice sound more crying. "Prime Minister, I was practicing with my father. I heard a report from my subordinates that someone was attacking me in the Prime Minister's camp.
My younger brother Wei Ba and the cavalry were worried about my younger brother's safety, so they rushed over with the soldiers who were practicing. Things happened in a hurry, and they didn't have time to disarm, and they walked in a hurry, violating the Prime Minister's military order."
Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly and said: "Are you worried that I won't be able to treat things fairly and embarrass your brother?"
Wei Feng kowtowed repeatedly. "The Prime Minister has misunderstood. The Prime Minister rules the country by law and is well-known for fairness. How can I have anything to worry about? It's just that my brother was ill not long ago and has not yet recovered. Sometimes his mind is not very clear and he is prone to confusion.
I was worried that he might have offended someone due to his careless words, or that he had violated the Prime Minister's military order and brought himself to blame, so I was anxious. Fortunately, I just went to the camp to ask, saw a few bystanders, and learned that he
There was no fault at all, and only then did I realize that I was reckless. Prime Minister, I have already asked those people to go outside the account. If the Prime Minister wants to ask about the situation at that time, he can do so now."
"No need to ask, I just heard Fu Xing say it. I believe he will not lie and insult General Fu's legacy." Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "Okay, you don't need to apologize. Take Wei Ba and your
Please leave, so as not to arouse suspicion among others."
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Wei Feng stood up and was about to leave when he remembered something again and turned to Zhuge Liang and said, "Prime Minister, I have one more request."
Zhuge Liang frowned. He already understood what he meant, but refused to say it. "You tell me."
"I just heard from my brother that it was Fu Xing who spoke uprightly and cleared his grievances. I would like to invite him to a banquet later to express my gratitude and ask the Prime Minister for permission."
Zhuge Liang nodded: "This is what it should be, I understand."
Wei Feng then smiled brightly and raised his hands to Fu Xing: "Brother Fu, I wonder if you are free tonight? Please come to my camp and let me and my son prepare some wine to thank Brother Fu for his great kindness."
Fu Xing said with a smile: "Brother Wei said something serious, I will definitely go there to make trouble."
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal."
Wei Feng smiled slightly, turned around and left the tent, taking Wei Ba and Wei Feng away surrounded by his guards. After leaving the camp, Wei Feng excitedly patted Wei Ba on the shoulder: "Good boy, your
The method is really effective, just two drops of tears settled everything."
"This is called retreating in lieu of advancing, and defending in lieu of attacking." Wei Ba smiled proudly: "How can we get an advantage in a head-on confrontation with the Prime Minister? Since we have already obtained the benefits, we must give the Prime Minister a step down."
Wei Feng nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense. Aba, you have made another contribution this time. Not only did you gain face for my father, but you also helped the Wei family win a friend."
Wei Ba disagreed. "You won't be so happy to have one more friend, not to mention that Fu Xing is just a small captain, not a major general who is in charge of one party."
"You don't understand this. If he really is a powerful general, I wouldn't dare to treat him as a friend." Wei Feng looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, then he patted Wei Ba hard on the shoulder and said with emotion.
: "What you don't understand even more is that for our Wei family, having one more enemy is very common, but having one more friend is very, very, very rare. Alas, in fact, it should be said that our Wei family has almost no friends." -
