Han Shimou

"Brother Zhao, you are so open-minded. If you feel unwell, send someone into the palace. Brother will invite the imperial physician to treat you."

When Sima Zhao heard this, his heart trembled, and a warm current flooded his whole body.Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?Wenshun treats each other sincerely and regards Sima Zhao as a brother and sister. How can Sima Zhao not be moved by the sincerity of this affection?Sima Zhao's expression changed for a while, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and suppressed the emotion.Seeing this, Wen Shun thought that Sima Zhao's illness was attacking, so he stretched out his hand to grab Sima Zhao's hand, and felt a chill from his skin, his complexion changed drastically, and he asked eagerly.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you!?

Sima Zhao took a deep breath, withdrew his hand deftly, and bowed with a smile on his face.

"Elder brother is worrying too much. Younger brother is just feeling tired, just rest for a while and he will be fine."

"Well. If that's the case, you should take a good rest. Brother, I will go back to the palace now."

Wen Shun got up when he heard the words.After the two said goodbye, Wen Shun left the wing room.It just so happened that the torrential rain came suddenly and went quickly.As soon as Wenshun came out of the building, the rain stopped, the sun shone, and there was a rainbow in the sky, spanning the entire city of Chang'an from east to west.Many children on the street looked at the rainbow, laughed loudly, and jumped up and down.After the heavy rain, the sky and the earth seem to be moistened, the air is refreshing and the climate is pleasant.Wen Shun took a deep breath, feeling good, and hurried back to the palace.

In the next few days, the important ministers and generals who rushed back from various places returned to Chang'an City one after another.Even Lu Xun, Quan Cong, Zhuge Ke and others were invited.Among them are Liu Chan, the former King of Shu, Fazheng, Ma Liang and others.Of course, the generals guarding the frontier from all over the country sent their confidants to guard the pass, and they returned only after the arrangements were made.

So in the past few days, the Chang'an Palace was full of traffic, and all the civil and military men of the Western Tang Dynasty brought gifts to each other.It is rare for Wen Han to gather with all his courtiers, and he is very happy.Meanwhile, Wen Han met Lu Xun and other generals of Eastern Wu, and talked about it in depth, but he didn't know what to talk about.Then Wen Han also called Liu Chan to see him. Liu Chan was weak and could only flatter and laugh. On the contrary, Ma Liang and Fa Zheng were quite upright and showed no attitude of yielding.Wen Han knew that the two were still loyal to the Shu Han, but they had no fear. After all, Liu Chan had no intention of restoring the country.Wen Han heard that he was in Hanzhong, and he only knew how to indulge in lust day and night, and he often expressed gratitude to Hanzhong officials, saying that today's wealth and honor are all the gifts of the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, and he is willing to repay the kindness for cattle and horses.But Fazheng, Ma Liang, and Wen Hannian are all talented people, one is the master of Hanzhong, and the other is the Sima of Hanzhong.However, Fei Yuan was secretly sent to monitor his every move.Fazheng and Ma Liang are also people who love the people, and they govern Hanzhong in full swing.Wen Han was also delighted when he learned about it, and promised in private with Fazheng and Ma Liang that if he can conquer the emperor's career and unify the world in the future, he can donate Hanzhong to Liu Chan and make him the king of Hanzhong.After Fazheng and Ma Liang heard about it, their faces changed for a while, they bowed their hands and promised, thanked them and left.Although Wen Han didn't know what the two of them were thinking, it was difficult for these former ministers of the Shu Han to cause much trouble, and they had no intentions.Recently, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals stationed in various places have come to report the recruitment of recruits.Recruit teams in Hedong, Hejian, Shuzhong, Wunan, and Jiaozhou have all been formed.Thirty thousand people were confiscated in central Shu, and more than [-] people were confiscated in southern Wu and Jiaozhou.The nationwide conscription is on track.Wen Han is very happy, and it's easy to reward one by one.

At the same time, in the Drunken Immortal Building in Chang'an City.Sima Zhao and Ma Guang are in a wing room.Seeing Sima Zhao's complexion darkened, he asked Ma Guang.

"Those Feiyuan dead soldiers are still watching nearby? How many people are there?"

"Reporting to the second master. Wen Zixi's wedding is imminent. Recently, officers, officers and officials from all over the world have been coming and going. Many of them are newcomers. Perhaps because of this, the manpower of Fei Yuan's dead has been greatly reduced. Nearby, There were only about seven or eight people watching."

Ma Guang fixed his eyes and replied respectfully.When Sima Zhao heard this, his face was calm, as if he was thinking about a plan.At this time, Ma Guang's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice.

"It seems that Wen Zixi is just a hypocrite with a decent face. Mingli and the second master are called brothers and brothers, but they secretly send someone to monitor the second master!"

Sima Zhao frowned, stood up slowly, stood with his hands behind his back, and sighed.

"No. If elder brother was suspicious of me, why would he reveal the secrets of the thunder cannon to me? The king of the Western Tang Dynasty has always kept things very secret. I think that when elder brother took the thunder cannon, he must first inform his father. Now, it was the king of Xitang who became suspicious of me, so he taught Feiyuan to monitor my every move. Now I am under surveillance, and I can't move an inch. Fortunately, my elder brother was not on guard against me. The report said that even the thunder cannon was shown to me. I already know a thing or two about the military equipment of Xitang, so it is time to leave."

Sima Zhao seemed to have sincere friendship with Wen Han, but he still called Wen Shun his eldest brother.After hearing this, Ma Guang's heart tightened, and he said worriedly.

"But now the limelight is getting tighter. If there is any movement from the second master, I am afraid that those Feiyuan dead men will not let it go. If the second master is unfortunately captured, what should I do?"

When Sima Zhao heard the words, he smiled lightly and said slowly.

"You don't have to worry about this, Uncle Guang. Just now, I have already made a divination. Although the hexagram is dangerous, it can turn danger into good luck in the end. Tomorrow is the wedding day of elder brother, and now the city of Chang'an is overcrowded. Great joy is imminent. With a cautious temperament, you must keep your defenses tight in case someone makes trouble. This way, it is a good time for me to leave. Tomorrow, when the wedding banquet begins, I will go out of the city in full disguise!"

"Second Master has already made up his mind, so the villain will not ask any more questions. If Second Master has any orders, feel free to ask the villain."

"Okay! Tomorrow's affairs will be more cumbersome, so Uncle Ma, go and rest first."

Sima Zhao said hello, and Ma Guang left after paying his respects.

Overnight.Finally, the day came for Wenshun and Wang Yuanji to get married.I saw lanterns and colorful lights on the streets of Chang'an, a large expanse of red and festive colors, and dense crowds of people coming and going everywhere.Among the people passing by, many of them were civilians disguised as dead soldiers Feiyuan, monitoring every move in the city.With the beating of gongs and drums, a welcoming team like a long red dragon came out of the palace, looking at the imperial servant's mansion.The people were overjoyed, and they rushed to visit one after another. They were packed everywhere, and they all rushed to the welcoming team.

At this moment, downstairs in Zuixian, let's say that today is the grand wedding of the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty, all walks of life are closed to rest, and Zuixianlou is no exception.Yang Ku led Wen Shun's order and came here to invite him. Seeing that the Zuixian Building was closed, he knocked on the door of the shop.After a while, the store door opened, and a man dressed as a junior came out.Yangku bowed his hands and asked where Ma Zhao was.The little second replied that his young master had already gone out to attend His Royal Highness's wedding banquet.Hearing this, Yang Ku groaned inwardly, he didn't expect Ma Zhao to leave so fast, the city is full of people, trying to find him is like looking for a needle in a haystack.However, Yangku has always been strict in his actions, he would never give up until he finished his task, so he led three or four soldiers to retreat and leave.

At this time, around the gate of Chang'an, there were still people from all counties and counties who came to watch the wedding banquet.But Sima Zhao didn't rush to attend Wenshun's wedding banquet, and now he was disguised as an old man, took a few servants, mixed into the crowd, and rushed out of the city.Among them were two Feiyuan dead soldiers. He was waiting for a group of people to go out of the city. At the moment, almost all of them were entering the city. However, this group of people rushed out of the city, acting suspiciously.The two flying kite soldiers secretly made gestures, one left and the other followed.Sima Zhao shuttled through the crowd, just outside the city gate, someone came from behind him.Sima Zhao frowned, and heard someone call to stop, and leaving with Sima Zhao, there were two men and one woman, both from the Sima family.All three were startled, ready to attack.Sima Zhao cast a dark look, signaling not to act rashly, and turned back one after another.I saw a man who was eight feet tall and wearing a scarlet robe approaching. This man was one of Feiyuan's dead men.

"Today is His Royal Highness's grand wedding. The king held a grand banquet in the city, entertaining people from all over the place. I don't know why the old man didn't go to the banquet, but went out of the city instead?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Zhao replied.

"Cough cough... Grandpa doesn't know something... I came to Chang'an with these two children and my wife a few days ago... Cough cough... I wanted to attend the wedding banquet of the son, but I didn't know that the old man had an old illness yesterday, and it was extremely uncomfortable... If I died of illness This place...cough cough...then...that's bad luck.... I'm afraid I'll offend the king...cough cough...and hurt my family, so I'll go back quickly."

Sima Zhao was weak, his face was pale, and he coughed continuously.The two men and one woman next to them are also cooperating, each with nervous expressions, begging.After hearing this, Fei Yuan's dead man's expression darkened, and he looked at the old man's face coldly.When the surrounding people heard about it, they also came to persuade them.At this moment, people at the city gate suddenly exclaimed, shouting to catch the thief.About seven or eight men fled to various cities.Hearing the turmoil, the dead man Feiyuan thought someone was causing trouble, and asked the old man's family to wait for a while, and the old man agreed.He hurried to the troubled place.The Feiyuan soldier was cunning, not long after he left, he suddenly turned around and shot back with his carbine.Unexpectedly, the old man's family was obedient and did not leave, just chatting with the people everywhere.Seeing the dead soldier Feiyuan, he felt relieved and walked like flying, swimming around in the crowd like a nimble fish.Sima Zhao's expression changed when he saw that the flying kite man had gone away.Soon there were bursts of shouts in the city, and the people were all attracted.So Sima Zhao took advantage of the chaos and left.

Let's say that Yang Ku was looking for Ma Zhao when he heard a commotion and hurried away.Seeing a person rushing around, he rushed over in a panic.Yang Ku's expression froze, he shouted loudly, like a tiger roaring, or like a tiger rushing to eat, he rushed to the man in an instant, and grabbed him on the ground.Soon, three or four Feiyuan dead soldiers came.Yangku asked what was the matter, and one of the dead soldiers, Feiyuan, replied that many people were stealing from Ximen.Yang Ku frowned when he heard this, feeling very suspicious.These thieves were so bold that they dared to steal on the day of Wang Shizi's wedding. Moreover, the country was rich and all walks of life were prosperous. As long as they were willing to do things, they would not go hungry.At the same time, the laws of the country are strict.Over the years, there has been almost no theft in Chang'an City.After Yang Ku thought about it, he probably guessed that these people were probably secret agents, so he ordered Fei Yuan's dead soldiers to torture them severely and must find out the truth.After Yang Ku's order was finished, he led people to Wang Ximen and hurried away.When Yangku arrived, he saw seven or eight flying kites rushing out of the west gate.Yang Ku frowned, and hurriedly rushed out of the city, seeing Fei Yuan's dead soldiers gathered in front of him, asking for news from the people.Yang Rong strode towards him, a dead soldier named Fei Yuan recognized Yang Rong and bowed his hands.Yang Ku slightly nodded and asked what was the matter.Another dead man named Feiyuan knew that Yang Ku was Wenshun's confidant, so he didn't neglect him, so he casually replied that there was a family of four people, who behaved suspiciously, and he was asking about it, when suddenly there was a burglary in the city, waiting for him to rush back However, the four members of that family disappeared suddenly, and the people everywhere didn't notice it.

"There are many clues in this, and the arrangement is very meticulous. That family must be the master of Wei!"

Yangkuhu stared, and said in a concentrated voice.The seven or eight Feiyuan dead men agreed, and after discussing for a while, they searched everywhere outside the city.Yang Kui led three or four soldiers to look towards a small path in the northwest.Besides, Sima Zhao and his party took advantage of the chaos and fled.On the way, Sima Zhao made a divination, although he didn't know what the hexagram would look like, but his expression suddenly became solemn, and he repeatedly urged his followers to quicken their pace.Suddenly, the forest on the right ahead shook.As Sima Zhao's three servants suddenly changed their expressions, they were ready to fight to the death with their weapons.Sima Zhao's face was shocked, and he waved his hands and shouted.

"Wait a minute, that's Uncle Guang."

Sure enough, Sima Zhao just finished speaking.Seven or eight groups of men and women disguised as civilians rushed out.The leader is Ma Guang.It turned out that Ma Guang and others had already made an appointment with Sima Zhao. When Sima Zhao left from the west gate, Ma Guang and others also sneaked out from the north gate.Sima Zhao asked intently.

"Uncle Guang, did you attract Fei Yuan's attention?"

Ma Guang's complexion darkened, and he hurriedly replied.

"Those flying kites who died were really unusual. The villains and others were almost discovered. Fortunately, the second master had already made arrangements and escaped while taking advantage of the chaos."

It turned out that Ma Guang and Sima Zhao were in almost the same situation.
