Chapter 137: The Contest of Two Women

Xiahou Hui took two maids and got out of the car. Peng Xiaoyu bowed down at the door to greet her, and was about to kneel, but Xiahou Hui held her up and laughed softly: "Okay, although you and I have a huge disparity in status, we don't have the righteousness of master and servant." I also know that General Wei didn't treat you as an ordinary servant, so you don't have to make such a big salute. ”

Peng Xiaoyu bowed, and while taking Xiahou Hui into the house, she said, "I don't know if the girl came here today, what advice do you have?" My master went to Yiwu with the general, and there were some unruly rules at home, so I asked the girl not to laugh. ”

Xiahou Hui looked around as he 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 outsiders, I came to see today, they are doing well here in General Wei."

Peng Xiaoyu's eyebrows twitched, then he shook his head with a wry smile and did not speak. Xiahou Hui came to the hall and sat down, Peng Xiaoyu, as half of the hostess, accompanied her in the lower seat, and ordered the three little beauties who stayed in the mansion to come up and wait. Even if they are Xiahou Mao's sweethearts, in front of Xiahou Hui, they are still slaves.

Xiahou Hui just glanced at it, and then laughed: "It seems that General Wei only has my uncle in his eyes." ”

Peng Xiaoyu bowed down and said, "Miss Xiahou, my master doesn't know how to deal with it, so I ask the girl for advice." ”

Xiahou Hui 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."

Xiahou Hui was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I'll be honest with you, I don't know how to deal with it." I don't like these women who entertain people, but as a woman, I also know that they are actually forced by others. Not willingly. ”

Peng Xiaoyu smiled and did not speak. She had heard from Wei Ba that Xiahou Hui's father, Xiahou Shang, died early. It was caused by a concubine. Xiahou Shang liked the concubine very much, but his wife, that is, Xiahou Hui's mother, was the wife of the general Cao Zhen, so Emperor Wen Cao Pi issued an edict to kill the concubine. The concubine died, but Xiahou Hui's mother failed to win back her husband's heart. Xiahou Shang was actually injured by love and died soon after.

This is definitely a result that no one expected, as you can see. Xiahou Shang and that concubine really have feelings. If such a story happened to someone else, it was enough to make people sigh, for example, Peng Xiaoyu cried a lot at the time, but when it fell on the person concerned, such as Xiahou Hui, her feelings were not so simple. After all, her parents were victims in this incident.

It is precisely because I know this secret. Peng Xiaoyu will deal with it like this, she believes that after such a thing, Xiahou Hui cannot be as ruthless as Princess Qinghe, and she can't wait to execute these poor women immediately.

"Why are there only three and two more?"

"The general told them to go back to visit their relatives." Peng Xiaoyu said quietly: "It is estimated that it will take a month to come back." ”

Xiahou Hui replied lightly. Immediately changed the subject: "I heard that General Wei invented a game, I am very curious, maybe teach me?" ”

Peng Xiaoyu immediately agreed, and asked the three little beauties to bring mahjong and teach Xiahou Hui how to play. Xiahou Hui is a smart person with an IQ no less than Peng Xiaoyu, and he quickly understood the truth, played a few games, pushed it away with one hand, and sighed: "Your general is really a genius in arithmetic, and even the games he invented are related to arithmetic." This game has a lot of variety, and I think it's going to be a big hit in the future. ”

Peng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "If my master can hear the girl's praise with his own ears, he will be very proud." ”

"Is General Wei a person who is easily complacent?" Xiahou Hui blinked: "I don't think he's a person who will be proud of me with a compliment." ”

"It may not matter if someone else praises them, but he will be very proud of the girl's praise." Peng Xiaoyu said without a trace. She could hear that Xiahou Hui came today not just to see the affairs of those women.

"Miss Peng, you've won the prize." Xiahou Hui got up and said, "Although you are nominally a handmaid, I know that General Wei has never treated you as a handmaiden. For you, he also had a conflict with your brother, which shows that in his heart, your status is very unusual. ”

"My master is kind to others, not to me alone."

"Really?" Xiahou Hui took Peng Xiaoyu's hand and laughed softly: "No wonder the guard named Dunwu next to him is loyal to him, and even he will not leave him when he flees." ”

"Atsubu is his personal guard, so he will naturally do anything for him."

The corners of Xiahou Hui's mouth were raised, and there was a little more coldness in his eyes. She looked around, and then continued: "General Wei is kind to others, but unfortunately, you are not very kind to Miss Peng. ”

Peng Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows vigilantly, and then regained her composure: "Girl, where did you start?" ”

"It's simple." Xiahou Hui stood up and looked around, the smile on his face disappeared. He deliberately bought his family business and made it look like he wanted to live in Chang'an for a long time, but in fact, he was just covering people's eyes and ears to prepare for his escape from Chang'an. Like these expensive furniture, you, a different handmaiden, are just a token of his trust. ”

Although Peng Xiaoyu tried her best to stay calm, she still showed panic and uneasiness under Xiahou Hui's forced gaze. She is a smart woman and has enough scheming, but in front of her is an opponent who is higher than her in terms of scheming and status. As soon as Wei Ba arrived in Chang'an, Xiahou Hui was suspicious of him, but Wei Ba was cautious and never showed his flaws. Peng Xiaoyu came late, she didn't know what Wei Ba had said or done. At this point, Peng Xiaoyu was far less aware of Wei Ba than Xiahou Hui.

What's more, she had the same guess in her mind. Wei Ba had something to hide from her, she thought about it and thought of a possibility: Wei Ba was a fraud, so he didn't want her to know the inside story of a Wei person who was the leader of the brother, and he kept her by his side, not because he forgave her for her betrayal, but because he wanted to use her as a bait. As Xiahou Hui said, a token that covers people's eyes so that he has a chance to escape.

Originally, it was just a guess in her own heart, and there was no definite evidence, but now that Xiahou Hui said this result in front of her, she collapsed all of a sudden. The conjecture she didn't want to believe herself had come true.

She hoped that she was very strong and could face this result calmly, but unfortunately, she was far from being as strong as she thought, and she was just distracted for a moment, and she was tightly grasped by Xiahou Hui.

Xiahou Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was far less sure than Peng Xiaoyu thought, and before entering the door, she didn't even have a little conclusive evidence, otherwise she would have faced Wei Ba directly, and she wouldn't have to take advantage of Wei Ba's absence to deceive Peng Xiaoyu. But now, she was sure that her conjecture was correct, and from the flaws revealed by Peng Xiaoyu, she could be sure that Wei Ba was a fraud, and his purpose was to get close to Xiahou Mao.

This result can explain all things.

Getting this conclusion, Xiahou Hui did not feel any pride, on the contrary, she became very nervous. Wei Ba was by Xiahou Mao's side at the moment, if he wanted to be unfavorable to Xiahou Mao, then Xiahou Mao would be in danger at any time. Once Xiahou Mao dies, or loses Guanzhong, then the Shili of the Xiahou clan in the entire army will suffer another heavy blow, including her, her life may be in danger.

Xiahou Hui sneered, turned around and walked out the door.

Peng Xiaoyu sat down slowly, her face pale.

After a short time, a team of armor soldiers surrounded the mansion, and everyone, including Peng Xiaoyu, was arrested and thrown into the dungeon of the Governor's Mansion. In the early morning of the next day, Xiahou Hui, escorted by twenty knights, rushed out of Chang'an City and went straight to Yiwu.

……

As soon as the news of the recruitment of the people to help defend the city was issued, it immediately provoked a great reaction. Those people who participated in the renovation of the city originally hoped to go home for the autumn harvest, but now they have to come to defend the city, and the food that has been hard for a year cannot be harvested, and the livelihood is gone, how will the next days be lived? They disobeyed orders in various names, and the people who came to Xiahou Mao to petition one after another, which made Xiahou Mao very annoyed.

Among them is an acquaintance of Wei Ba: Zhao Su.

After shouting indignantly in front of Xiahou Mao, Zhao Su retreated and gave Wei Ba a look who was standing under the corridor. Wei Ba nodded, excused himself, and turned to the side courtyard. As soon as he entered the thatched house, he saw Zhao Su squatting on the pit, and when he saw him, Zhao Su turned his head and motioned for him to squat on the pit next to him. Wei Ba was a little embarrassed, so he had to untie his belt and squat down. Zhao Su was not polite, and complained straight to the point: "I said Wei Ziyu, what the hell are you doing?" The prime minister has been sending troops for so long, and you won't contact me? ”

Wei Ba laughed: "Gongpu, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Although there was a bit of an accident, what is in front of us is a chance that is too good to be haode, it depends on whether you have the courage or not. ”

Zhao Su rolled his eyes and shook the belt of his trousers hanging around his neck: "I said Lord Wei, I have my head tied to the belt of my trousers now, what else dare not bet." ”

……

After a long talk with Wei Ba in the thatched house, Zhao Su, who had solved his doubts, was a little numb in both legs, and he limped out of the dock, but his mind was extremely relaxed. He had just sat in the ox cart when a group of knights came galloping from afar, swept up in a wild gallop, and rushed towards the city gates. The horse's hurried hooves kicked up billowing smoke and dust, roaring like a dragon. Zhao Su's eyes were quick, and he immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve. Zhang Wen reacted more slowly and was choked and coughed.

"Where did you come from, is it a reckless man?" Zhang Wen coughed and scolded in a low voice.

Zhao Su smiled: "Indeed, they are not far from death." ”

Zhang Wen glanced at him, and suddenly came to his senses, and his face flashed with a strange red light: "How?" ”

"How?" Zhao Su patted Zhang Wen on the shoulder and gave Zhang Wen a smug look: "You and me, the two salted fish, the opportunity to turn into a dragon has arrived, it depends on whether we can jump over that dragon gate." ”
