Zhuge Liang was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and wearing an old fur. He sat in a wheelchair, pushed by Dong Yun, and walked slowly in front of the side hall... The winter sun shone on his pale face, and he could almost see it.

The blood vessels under the skin, large and small brown spots scattered on his exposed skin, like dead leaves scattered on the snow.

His thin hair was combed meticulously, but his hat looked a little big and almost pressed against his eyebrows. In a few days, his hair turned white, and even his eyebrows were mostly white. In the sun, he was like the snow in Liupan Mountain.

White, just as dazzling.

Wei Ba has been back in Chengdu for a few days, but has not come to see him. He has reported his duties at the General's Mansion these two days and discussed the war plan for the expedition to Liaodong with Li Yan. So far, Zhuge Liang does not know the content of this plan.

What is it, but judging from the fact that Li Yan convened his confidants to discuss matters for several days in succession, this plan should be very attractive.

The more this happens, the more uneasy Zhuge Liang is. If the plan to expedition to Liaodong is really successful, Guanzhong will become an insignificant place, and the court's wealth and attention will be attracted by this plan. Guanzhong can only focus on guarding.

, and a greater possibility is to become a sub-determination of Cao Wei and provide war horses for the expeditionary army.

In other words, Wei Ba's plan will further squeeze the living space in Guanzhong.

What made Zhuge Liang even more uneasy was that since Wei Ba came back, there was no news about Wei Yan. He neither reported Wei Ba's movements to him nor asked him **. He just remained silent and had no feedback sent back.

This result is even more terrifying than Wei Yan rushing to him and making a fuss. Because this does not fit Wei Yan's surname. His actions can only explain one problem. Now the decision of the Wei family has been handed over to Wei Ba, and Wei Yan doesn't care.

This is the matter.

"Prime Minister, it's windy outside, go back and rest."

"Wait a little longer." Zhuge Liang whispered: "The General's Mansion has discussed for so many days, and there should be news coming out. After the report of his work, Wei Ba will definitely come to the palace to see him."

Dong Yun sighed silently. He knew that Zhuge Liang was carrying his sick body outside, not only to bask in the sun, but also to relax. After so many days, although Wei Ba did not come to see him, Zhuge Liang had been caring for him.

trends.

"Prime Minister, if he comes into the palace, I will notify the Prime Minister." Dong Yun tightened the old fur on Zhuge Liang's body, tucked the corners of his clothes, and almost begged to persuade him: "It's not good to get cold outside.

”

Zhuge Liang responded tiredly. Lian Yuelai's thoughts did make him feel exhausted. The fire of life is like Mars in the wind, which may be blown out at any time.

...

On the palace gate tower, Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang who was in a bored manner and sighed with relief. He turned around and walked towards the harem, shaking his sleeves while walking, humming an unknown little song in his mouth. He could only leave the Prime Minister's sight.

He can be so relaxed. But the ease is temporary. The Prime Minister lives in the palace and checks his studies every day, just like a mountain, pressing on his heart all the time.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister had a lot of worries in the past two days and was not in good health, so he relaxed a little. Only then could he take a break from his busy schedule to come to the harem to find Queen Zhang and Zhang Xingcai, who had just returned from Jiaozhou. Zhang Xingcai became a marriage and married her

After giving Wei Wu, he still did not lose his true nature as a female spy. He often told Liu Chan some strange stories and some ridiculous things that Wei Ba did. Liu Chan's interest in these things far exceeded his interest in academic work, and he was free

So he summoned Zhang Xingcai into the palace. Fortunately, the Zhang family was outside the palace gate, with only a palace wall, which was convenient to enter and exit.

Liu Chan arrived at the Jiaofang Hall and just sat down. Before he could ask Queen Zhang or Zhang Xingcai was there, Huang Hao trotted in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Wei Ba of Zhennan asked for a visit."

Liu Chanteng stood up: "Who?"

"General Wei Ba, Zhennan, is outside the palace gate, waiting to see His Majesty."

"Hurry, let him in." Liu Chan didn't bother to say hello to Queen Zhang and ran away. Queen Zhang was stunned and shook her head and smiled after a while.

Wei Ba entered the palace, finished the salute, and just as he was about to start reporting his duties, Liu Chan ran to him and waved his sleeves: "I'll have time to say to you later. Let me tell me what's fun in Jiaozhou."

Wei Ba was stunned: "Your Majesty, I am here to report my duties today, not..."

"I know, I know." Liu Chan said hurriedly: "You can report your job anytime, but those fun things cannot be heard by others, so you can only say them to me alone. Otherwise, the censors will have to ** you again

Let me tell you, do those barbarians like to carve all kinds of things on their bodies?”

Wei Ba was speechless. Is Your Majesty Liu Chan so bored? He is so gossipy? Looking at his face as he scratched his ears and smiled, he didn't look like a dignified emperor, but he was simply an immature young man.

Having said that, he seems to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old this year, and he likes to be crazy. He is expected to be bored in this city every day, and his mental abnormality is also expected.

"This... my brother's wife Xingcai didn't report to His Majesty? Isn't she a little gold medal spy?"

"I've said it, I just want to hear you say again. She is a woman. I'm embarrassed to ask some things." Liu Chan said with a wink: "I heard that those barbarians like to wear..." He put his hands on himself

He gestured on his legs: "A very short skirt can even see it?"

Wei Ba was completely stunned. It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor liked this. The women in the palace were not satisfied with just watching it casually, but do you like to look at the barbarians?

"This... Your Majesty, this is what it is. Most of the Baiyue in Jiaozhou are barbarians. It is recorded in ancient books that Baiyue tattoos are vertebral buns. This tattoo refers to the carving of patterns on the body, and most of them are totems they worship.

, Your Majesty, do you know what it means?"

"I understand, I understand, it's just that bird and beast." Liu Chan nodded repeatedly: "Then you say that our Liu family is from the Huanlong family. Should we tattoo dragon tattoos on our body? It's not right, the dragon is raised by our family.

That's not our totem, so... let's get a circle?"

I have to say that Liu Chan is not stupid at all, but just a little unreasonable. When it comes to serious things, he is always a little dull, but when he is gossiping, his mind is very fast and his thinking is jumping, which makes Wei Ba a little follower.

The feeling of not getting to it.

Fortunately, Wei Ba is also a knowledgeable and versatile person. He is more than enough to deal with such a person with a noble status but very limited knowledge. He threw the report on his job and talked with Liu Chan in a close relationship.

God started to talk.

...

When Wei Ba was playing with Liu Chan, the palace had already entered a very nervous situation.

As soon as Wei Ba entered the palace gate, Dong Yun knew about it and immediately reported to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had just lying down in the ** and heard that Wei Ba was coming, so he quickly got up and put on his clothes, and issued a series of orders, and then

Sitting upright in the hall, waiting quietly, brewing what I was about to say in my heart.

Outside the palace, dozens of waiters rushed out of the palace gate and ran to all directions with the Prime Minister's order. Wei Ba came too suddenly and didn't even call him in advance. Zhuge Liang did not expect this situation at all. It would be a short time.

It was indeed a bit rushed to prepare for the time.

Fortunately, Wei Ba was chatting with Liu Chan in the palace and probably couldn't come for a while, so he still had some time to prepare.

...

The Weiwei Officer, Zhao Yun was looking through the records of entering and leaving the palace. He saw a name at first sight and couldn't help but be stunned. He walked out of the official party and came to the place where famous books were hung beside the palace gate. He raised his head and saw General Zhennan.

Wei Ba’s famous book.

"Have Wei Ba, General Zhennan, entered the palace?"

"Yes, I just went in for a while." A doctor with a halberd responded.

Zhao Yun's eyes tightened: "Look at the palace gate, I have something to do to enter the palace."

"Here."

Zhao Yun turned around and returned to the official hall, the sword on the ** was hung on the wall, and checked his appearance again, then went out and walked towards the palace. As soon as he reached the door, a waiter walked out quickly,

He bowed and said, "Mr. Zhao, Prime Minister is invited."

Zhao Yun nodded and walked towards the side hall.

...

Wei Family Manor, Wei Yan was standing in front of the courtyard with a shiny sword in his hand. A martial soldier rushed in, followed by a breathless waiter. The waiter walked straight to Wei Yan and said anxiously: "General, Prime Minister, please invite him.

.”

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and shone with a cold light: "Have my son entered the palace?"

"Yes, when the villain left the palace, General Zhennan had just entered the palace to see the emperor."

Wei Yan gasped for a while, pondered for a while, stomped his feet, threw the knife to the martial servant beside him, and rushed out of the door with the waiter.

...

The Great Honglu Du Qiong put down the book and looked at the waiter pushing the door and was surprised.

"Mr. Du, Prime Minister is invited."

Du Qiong said oh, quickly got up, and followed the waiter out.

...

In the General's Mansion, Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back. Looking at the waiter who was rushing in, he smiled silently, his eyes full of sarcasm. Before the waiter could speak, he said, "Have Wei Ba entered the palace?

””

The waiter was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly and said, "That's right, the Prime Minister invites the General."

"I'm ready long ago." Li Yan opened his sleeves, showed off his official uniform, and walked out.

...

In Yongle Palace, the Empress Dowager Wu, after hearing the attendant's words, he waved his sleeves: "I understand, you can repay the Prime Minister, I will come later."

The waiter responded, turned around and went out, but did not leave. Wu stood up and turned around and entered. After a while, she put on a gorgeous dress and accompanied by several female officials, she walked towards the side hall where Zhuge Liang lived.

go.

...

In the main hall, Liu Chan and Wei Ba were dancing with joy. Dong Yun walked in and stood silently. When Liu Chan saw it, his eyes suddenly became dark, he coughed, sat up straight, waved his sleeves majestic, and said seriously:

"Wei Aiqing, I'm a little tired, so let's get here today."

Wei Ba turned his head, looked at Dong Yun, and bowed to accept the order: "I will leave."

Liu Chan nodded and looked at Wei Ba with sympathy, but did not dare to do any extra moves. Wei Ba stood up, bowed, and left the hall. Under Dong Yun's gaze, he put on his shoes.

Take off his sword from Lan Qi next to him, turn around and leave.

"General, please wait." Dong Yun was prepared, and he stopped Wei Ba in front of him as soon as he took a step, and said with a serious expression: "Prime Minister, please."
