Wei Ba clasped his hands together and lay on the desk, his father's frowning eyebrows constantly swaying in front of his eyes.
After listening to his father's complaints, he asked him: What are you going to do?
In the end, his father replied: What else can I do? Can I still disobey orders and act without authorization?
This answer surprised Wei Ba. Looking at his father who was about to go berserk, he thought he was going to make a desperate move. Unexpectedly, he just got angry behind his back and chose to obey the order and swallow his anger.
Wei Ba doesn't believe that this is the nature of a soldier, and he doesn't talk about it these days. He would rather believe that it is his father's respect for Prime Minister Zhuge, or that it also contains trust in the late Emperor Liu Bei. After all, Prime Minister Zhuge is the former Emperor's entrustment.
Minister, maybe there are people from Jingxiang helping each other, and safeguarding the overall interests of the people in Jingxiang can be more beneficial to the interests of the Wei family.
However, Wei Ba remembered that it was the Jingxiang people who finally wiped out the Wei family. The reason may have been to safeguard the overall interests of the Jingxiang people, although the real mastermind was never clear.
Wei Ba couldn't figure out what his father was thinking, but he had his own ideas. If this was allowed to develop, the fate of the Wei family would inevitably come. Wei Yan, his father, was not his master Zhao Yun. He could bow to Zhuge Liang, but he would not bow to Zhuge Liang.
Others bow their heads. He may accept orders, but he can't control his mouth. Regardless of history or novels, it is said that Wei Yan often complained that Zhuge Liang could not use his talents to the best of his ability. It can be seen that the father also had a knot in his heart while accepting orders.
, he has always been worried about this, and will talk about it at every turn.
Wei Ba is not sure whether this has triggered other people's fears and led to murderous intentions, but he believes that this is definitely not a good sign. If he cannot get rid of this character flaw, it will be difficult for him to die well in the future.
But he is already in his early forties, how can he change it? A country can be changed easily, but a temperament cannot be changed. Wei Ba does not have such confidence. He can persuade his father to restrain himself with his sharp tongue.
Now, Prime Minister Zhuge has great trust in his father, and his father also knows Prime Minister Zhuge well. If he says that the Prime Minister will kill you, I guarantee that his father will give him a slap in the face.
What to do? You can't count on your father. Wei Ba can only find a way by himself. After all, his life can only be controlled in his own hands.
As soon as the tent door was opened, Peng Xiaoyu walked in with difficulty carrying the foot bath bucket, placed it in front of Wei Ba, raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Major General, it's time to wash your feet."
Wei Ba was thinking about something and just glanced at her but didn't move.
"What's wrong with you?" Peng Xiaoyu looked at him in surprise, stretched out a hand and waved it in front of him. Only then did Wei Ba come back to his senses and saw the steaming foot bath bucket exuding a medicinal fragrance.
He glanced outside the tent again and asked in surprise: "What time is it?"
"It's the beginning of Haishi." Peng Xiaoyu laughed, knelt down in front of Wei Ba, held up his stretched out foot, and pulled off his combat boots. The strong smell of smelly feet followed by a breath of sweat.
It rose. Peng Xiaoyu leaned back as much as possible, held her breath, and put Wei Ba's feet in the foot bath bucket as quickly as possible. Then she stood up, patted her apron, and fanned her nose with her hands.
"Major General, your feet are getting more and more sweaty."
"You don't like the smell? Well, I'll take you back to your hometown." Wei Ba laughed evilly and sniffed, feeling a little suffocated. "Hurry up and open the tent door. It's really smelly.
It’s all a bit too much.”
Peng Xiaoyu's face darkened, she stood up and opened the tent door, then sat there silently, without speaking for a long time. When Wei Ba saw it, he was a little surprised: "What's the matter? You really can't bear it, do you want to go back?"
Peng Xiaoyu raised her head, biting her lip, her eyes gleaming with water. Wei Ba was a little embarrassed, and the smile on his face became a little unnatural.
Peng Xiaoyu said loudly: "Major General, is a woman's appearance really that important? Are ugly people not qualified to be a maid? Then why does the book say that the four virtues of women are mentioned in the book, and virtue is good for work?
, Rong is only in third place.”
Wei Ba laughed twice and was too embarrassed to answer. If it were another woman, he might have made fun of her, but facing such a poor person, he really couldn't say anything too harsh.
"Xiaoyu stayed by the Major General's side. She never had any greed. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and have a peaceful meal. The Major General will marry a beautiful wife and concubine. Xiaoyu is also happy for the Major General. Why do you have to keep talking about it?
Are you going to drive me away again?" As soon as Peng Xiaoyu opened her mouth, she couldn't hold back her tears. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she began to cry with sobs.
Wei Ba was even more embarrassed. Although he was used to Peng Xiaoyu serving him meals, clothes, and even washing her feet, he did not really treat her as a maid in his heart. At most, he regarded her as a waiter in his previous life. There was nothing wrong with teasing her.
He really couldn't do it if he didn't treat his maid as a human being like others.
Listening to Peng Xiaoyu's grievance cry, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt a little emotional. Peng Xiaoyu wanted to have a happy life, but how many more years can the Wei family have to live a happy life? I'm afraid she is doomed to be disappointed. Instead of doing this, it is better to take action early
Cruelly, he drove her away and went back to marry an ordinary citizen. Although the hardship was a little bit harder, he could still survive to a certain extent, and he would not suffer the same fate as the Wei family. In the end, he became an official slave again, and even got his head chopped off.
Thinking of this, Wei Ba put away his smile, lay on his feet, looked at the medicinal materials floating in the bucket, and said quietly: "Xiaoyu, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. However, I have something to say.
, these are very serious words, I hope you can listen."
"Major General, please speak." Peng Xiaoyu wiped her tears with her arm and suddenly became stubborn: "Even if the Major General really wants to drive me away, I will leave. I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"To be honest, I want you to leave." Wei Ba said word for word: "But it's not because you are not good-looking, but...but..." He smacked his lips, not knowing what to say.
He went down. This didn’t happen. Will Peng Xiaoyu believe him?
Peng Xiaoyu frowned slightly. Seeing that he hesitated to speak, she thought he didn't want to say anything too hurtful. She smiled miserably: "Young General, you don't have to say it. I am self-aware. I will ask the Major General to issue a road biography for me tomorrow."
, I’ll just leave.”
"That's not what I meant." Wei Ba looked at Peng Xiaoyu's desperate expression, and suddenly his heart softened. He sighed longly: "Let me tell you the truth, I have a bad feeling."
"What's the bad feeling?" Peng Xiaoyu frowned and glared at Wei Ba angrily. Since she couldn't be a maid, she no longer had to be a slave and could talk to Wei Ba openly.
"I always feel that our Wei family may follow in the footsteps of your Peng family." Wei Ba did not pay attention to Peng Xiaoyu's expression. He was immersed in his own imagination and felt inexplicably depressed. "Your Majesty is talented, but because of his lack of words,
He died because of obstruction. My father is also talented, but he seems to have no control over his words. What's more dangerous is that he still has military power. Tell me, is our Wei family better than your Peng family..."
He raised his head and suddenly found that Peng Xiaoyu's eyes were wrong, and said in surprise: "Xiaoyu, what are you..."
Peng Xiaoyu originally thought that Wei Ba disliked her for being ugly - Wei Ba did make fun of her appearance from time to time - so she always felt that Wei Ba drove her away because of her appearance.
Appearance. She really didn't pay much attention to people who judge people by their appearance. But after listening to Wei Ba's words just now, she realized that Wei Ba wanted to drive her away not because of her appearance, but because of her appearance.
I'm worried about the future of the Wei family and don't want to implicate her.
From Wei Ba's expression and tone when he spoke, she could tell that Wei Ba was not fooling her, but that he really thought of some bad possibilities. Thinking of Wei Ba's almost indulgent love for her, she quickly judged
It turns out that Wei Ba really wanted to drive her away because of her, not because of her appearance.
This sudden change made Peng Xiaoyu surprised and happy. Her tear-stained face showed a light of joy and her whole body became full of energy. Seeing Wei Ba staring straight at her, she suddenly realized something and hurriedly
He covered his face and lowered his head.
Wei Ba was confused and didn't react for a while. He thought Peng Xiaoyu was sad, so he quickly advised: "Of course, this is just my guess. It shouldn't be possible in a short time. You can..."
"Major General, I believe your guess." Peng Xiaoyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Ba with bright eyes. There was a faint blush on his fair face. Unfortunately, the blue spot was too unsightly and ruined everything.
The beauty. Wei Ba lowered his head with a guilty conscience, cursing in his heart that he was really lustful rather than virtuous. No matter how much he practiced, he couldn't become a saint like Prime Minister Zhuge, and he couldn't marry an ugly wife.
"What do you believe?" Wei Ba said perfunctorily.
"I believe your speculation about the fate of the Wei family." Peng Xiaoyu's voice was still nasal, but extremely firm. "It is not the character of General Zhenbei to swallow his anger and accept humiliation. If this continues, the outcome of the Wei family will indeed not be good.
Much better than my Peng family."
Wei Ba raised his head in surprise: "You think so too?" He thought so, in fact, it was not just a prediction, but because he knew the results in history. Peng Xiaoyu thought so, but it was a real prediction, and his tone was so firm,
It was actually a bit beyond his expectation.
"Everyone has his own destiny. What is destiny? Nature is destiny." Peng Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and her originally small eyes became more slender, like a fox, and her chin seemed to have become pointed.
He stood up and his eyes became much more seductive. However, Wei Ba was not in the mood to pay attention to this at this time. He listened carefully to Peng Xiaoyu's words. He was older than Peng Xiaoyu, but in terms of guessing people's hearts, Peng Xiaoyu was good enough for him.
teacher.
"There is luck besides fate. What is luck? Luck is the environment in which he lives, including people and place, especially the people around him. General Zhenbei is what he is today because of the promotion of the late emperor. The late emperor has passed away and is now in charge.
It is the Prime Minister who wants General Zhenbei. What will happen to General Zhenbei in the future depends on his relationship with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has extraordinary talents, and he can tolerate General Zhenbei, but what about the people around the Prime Minister? How can those rats tolerate Zhenbei?
General Bei’s pride?”
Wei Ba was dumbfounded and felt ashamed. What is an expert? This is the real expert. Compared with this ugly girl, he is just a cheater, pretending to be a great person.
God is fair. When a door closes, a window will inevitably open.——Third update, please recommend and collect!
