    "Brother Zhao, you are so open-minded. If you feel unwell, send someone to the palace. My eldest brother will ask the imperial doctor to treat you."

    When Sima Zhao heard this, his heart trembled, and a warm current filled his whole body.  Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?  Wen Shun treated Sima Zhao sincerely and regarded Sima Zhao as his flesh and blood brother. How could Sima Zhao not be moved by this sincere love?  Sima Zhao's expression suddenly changed, his eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth and suppressed his emotion.  Seeing this, Wen Shun thought that Sima Zhao was suffering from an illness. He reached out and grabbed Sima Zhao's hand. He felt a cold sensation coming from his skin. His face suddenly changed and he asked eagerly.

    ¡°Brother Zhao, what¡¯s wrong with you!?

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

    "Brother is worrying too much. I'm just tired. I'll be fine after taking a rest."

    "Yes. If that's the case, you should have a good rest. Brother, I will return to the palace."

    When Wen Shun heard this, he stood up.  After the two said goodbye, Wen Shun left the wing.  It just so happened that the torrential rain came suddenly and went away quickly.  As soon as Wen Shun walked out of the building, the rain stopped, the sun shone brightly, 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 a heavy rain, the world feels moisturized, the air is fresh and the climate is pleasant.  Wen Shun took a deep breath and hurried back to the palace in a good mood.

    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 were Liu Chan, the former King of Shu, Fazheng, Ma Liang and others.  Of course, the generals who guarded the frontiers in various places sent their trusted soldiers to guard the passes and only returned after the arrangements were made.

    So in the past few days, the Chang'an Palace was busy with traffic again, and the civil and military officials of the Western Tang Dynasty brought gifts to each other.  It was a rare occasion for Wenhan to get together with his ministers, and he was very happy.  During this time, Wenhan met Lu Xun and other generals who had surrendered from Soochow, and had a deep talk. As for what they were talking about, he didn't know.  Then Wen Han also summoned Liu Chan to see him. Liu Chan had a weak temperament and could only flatter and make jokes. On the contrary, Ma Liang and Fazheng had great integrity and showed no signs of surrender.  Wen Han knew that the two of them were still loyal to Shu Han, but they had no scruples. After all, Liu Chan had no intention of restoring the country.  Wenhan heard that in Hanzhong, he only indulged in sexual pleasures day and night, and often expressed gratitude to the officials in Hanzhong. He said that today's wealth and honor were all a gift from the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, and he was willing to repay his kindness to cows and horses.  Fazheng, Ma Liang, and Wen Hannian were all talented people. One was the Lord of Hanzhong, and the other was the Sima of Hanzhong.  However, they secretly sent flying kites to monitor their every move.  Fa Zheng and Ma Liang were also people who loved the people and governed Hanzhong with great vigor.  When Wenhan learned about it, he was also delighted. He privately promised Fazheng and Ma Liang that if he could become an emperor in the future and unify the world, he could give Hanzhong to Liu Chan and make him the King of Hanzhong.  When Fazheng and Ma Liang heard this, their expressions changed for a while, they handed over their hands and made a promise, thanked them and left.  Although Wenhan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, it was hard for these old Shu Han officials to stir up much trouble, and they had no ambition.  Recently, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and other generals stationed in various places have come to report the recruitment of new soldiers.  Recruitment teams from Hedong, Hejian, Shuzhong, Wunan, and Jiaozhou have all been formed.  Thirty thousand people were levied in Shuzhong, and more than 30,000 people were also levied in Wunan and Jiaozhou.  The nationwide military recruitment is on track.  Wen Han was very happy and rewarded each one, which was no big deal.

    At the same time, in the Zuixian Tower in Chang'an City.  Sima Zhao and Ma Guangzheng were in a wing room.  Sima Zhao's face turned dark and he asked Ma Guang.

    "Are those Feiyuan soldiers still watching nearby? How many manpower are there?"

    "Reporting back to the Second Master. Wen Zixi's wedding is about to take place, and there has been a constant flow of officers and officers from all over the country in recent days. Many of them are newly surrendered soldiers. Perhaps because of this, the number of Feiyuan dead soldiers has been greatly reduced. Around here,  There were only about seven or eight people watching.¡±

    Ma Guang¡¯s eyes narrowed and he replied respectfully.  When Sima Zhao heard this, his face was calm, as if he was thinking about a strategy.  At this time, Ma Guang's face turned cold and he said coldly.

    "It seems that Wen Zixi is just a sanctimonious hypocrite. He and the second master openly call themselves brothers, but secretly he sends someone to spy on the second master!"

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

    "No. If the eldest brother was suspicious of me, how could he reveal the secrets of the Thunder Cannon to me? The King of the Western Tang Dynasty has always attached great importance to keeping secrets. He thought that when the eldest brother obtained the Thunder Cannon, he would tell his father first.  Now, it was the King of the Western Tang Dynasty who became suspicious of me, so he asked Fei Yuan to monitor my every move. Now I am under surveillance and cannot move. Fortunately, my elder brother was not on guard against me. Not only did he use the four Tang swords one by one earlier.  Tell me, even the thunder cannons have been shown to me. I already know a thing or two about the weapons and equipment of the Western Tang Dynasty, and it's time to leave."

    Sima Zhao seemed to have a sincere friendship with Wen Han, and even called Wen Shun his eldest brother.  After Ma Guang heard this, his heart tightened and he said with great concern.

    "But now it's out of the limelight."Tight.  If there is any movement from the second master, I am afraid that those Feiyuan soldiers will not give up.  If the second master is unfortunately captured, what can he do?  "

    Hearing this, Sima Zhao smiled calmly and said slowly.

    "Uncle Guang doesn't have to worry about this. I've already divined a divination just now. Although the divination is dangerous, it can turn bad luck into good luck in the end. Tomorrow is my eldest brother's wedding, and the city of Chang'an is overcrowded. Great joy is coming, and with the king of the Western Tang Dynasty,  With a cautious temper, I must be on guard to prevent anyone from causing trouble. This is a good time for me to leave. I will leave the city in detail when the wedding banquet starts!"

    "The second master has actually made up his mind, so the little man won't interfere anymore. If the second master has any instructions, feel free to ask the little man."

    "Okay! Things will be more complicated tomorrow, so Uncle Ma, please go and rest first."

    Sima Zhao said hello, and Ma Guang bowed and left.

    The night passed.  Finally, the day came for Wen Shun and Wang Yuanji to get married.  I saw lanterns and festoons on the streets of Chang'an, large areas of red and festive colors, and dense crowds of people everywhere.  Among the people passing by, many were civilians disguised as Feiyuan Death Soldiers, monitoring every move in the city.  With the sound of gongs and drums, a procession of welcoming brides came out of the palace like a long red dragon, heading towards the palace of the servant.  The people were overjoyed and rushed to visit one after another. They were crowded everywhere and rushed to the welcoming procession.

    At this moment, under Zuixian Tower, today is the wedding of the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty. All walks of life are closed and rest, and Zuixian Tower is no exception.  Yang Ku was ordered by Wen Shun to come to invite him. Seeing that Zuixian Tower was closed, he knocked on the door.  After a while, the store door opened, and a man dressed as a waiter came out.  Yang Ku bowed his hands in salute and asked where Ma Zhao was.  The waiter replied that his son had left early to attend the wedding banquet of His Royal Highness.  Hearing this, Yang Ku groaned secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that Ma Zhao would leave so quickly. There were a sea of ??people everywhere in the city, and trying to find him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.  However, Yang Ku always acted rigorously and would not give up until the task was completed, so he led three or four soldiers to retreat and leave.

    At this time, around the city gate of Chang'an, people from various counties were coming to watch the wedding banquet.  However, Sima Zhao did not rush to attend Wen Shun's wedding banquet. He was now disguised as an old man, leading a few followers, blending into the crowd, and heading out of the city.  Among them were two Feiyuan Death Soldiers. They saw that they were waiting for a group of people to leave the city. At present, almost everyone was entering the city, but this group of people was rushing out of the city, acting suspiciously.  The two flying kite warriors made secret gestures, one left and the other followed.  Sima Zhao was weaving in and out of the crowd, and when he arrived outside the city gate, someone suddenly came from behind.  Sima Zhao frowned and heard someone calling him to stop. There were two men and a woman leaving with Sima Zhao, both of whom were members of the Sima family.  All three of them were startled and ready to explode.  Sima Zhao secretly winked, indicating not to act rashly, and turned back one after another.  I saw a man eight feet tall and wearing a red robe walking over. This man was one of Fei Yuan's dead soldiers.

    "Today is the wedding of His Royal Highness. The king is holding a banquet in the city and entertaining people from all over the country. I wonder why the old man didn't go to the banquet and went out of the city instead?"

    Sima Zhao replied as soon as he heard this.

    "Ahem I don't know what I know I came to Chang'an with these two children and my wife a few days ago Ahem, I wanted to attend the prince's wedding banquet, but I didn't know that I had an old illness yesterday and was extremely uncomfortable If I die here  Ahemthat would beunluckyI just want to anger the kingahemand implicate the whole family, so I just go back quickly."

    Sima Zhao was weak, his face was pale, and he kept coughing.  The two men and one woman next to him were also cooperating, each looking nervous and begging.  After hearing this, the Feiyuan Death Soldier's expression darkened, and he looked at the old man's face coldly.  When the people around heard about it, they also came to persuade him.  At this moment, people at the city gate suddenly exclaimed and shouted to catch the thief.  About seven or eight men fled to various cities.  The dead soldier Feiyuan heard the commotion and thought someone was causing trouble. He asked the old man and his family to wait for a while, and the old man agreed.  He hurriedly looked at the commotion and hurried away.  The Feiyuan Death Soldier was cunning. Not long after he left, he suddenly turned around and shot back.  Unexpectedly, the old man's family was obedient and did not leave. They just chatted with the people everywhere.  When the dead warrior Fei Yuan saw him, he was relieved and walked as fast as flying, like a flexible fish, swimming around in the crowd.  Sima Zhao's expression changed when he saw that the dead warrior Fei Yuan had gone away.  Soon there were shouts and screams in the city, and the people were attracted.  So Sima Zhao took advantage of the chaos and left.

    By the way, Yang Ku was looking for Ma Zhao when he suddenly heard a commotion and hurried over.  Just when I saw someone rushing around, he rushed over in a panic.  Yang Ku's face hardened and he shouted loudly, like a tiger roaring or a tiger pouncing on food. He rushed to the man in an instant and captured him on the ground.  Soon, three or four flying kite warriors arrived.  Yang Ku asked what was going on, and one of the Fei Yuan dead men replied that there were many people stealing at the west gate.  sheepKu frowned after hearing this, feeling suspicious.  These thieves are so bold that they dare to steal on the prince's wedding day. Moreover, the country is rich and all walks of life are prosperous. As long as they are willing to do things, they will not starve.  The national laws are also strict.  For many years, there has been almost no theft in Chang'an City.  After Yang Ku thought about it, he roughly guessed that these people were probably doing it carefully. He ordered Feiyuan to die in a stern voice and tortured him severely. He must find out the truth.  Yang Ku had finished his instructions, so he led the people to Ximen and rushed away.  When Yang Ku arrived, he saw seven or eight flying kites darting out of the west gate.  Yang Ku frowned and hurriedly drove out of the city. He saw Fei Yuan's dead soldiers gathering in front of them, inquiring about the news from the people.  Yang Ku stepped forward and a flying kite dead man recognized Yang Ku and bowed his hands.  Yang Ku nodded slightly and asked what was going on.  Another Feiyuan dead man knew that Yang Ku was Wen Shun's confidant, so he did not hesitate and answered casually. Just now, there was a family of four people, old and young, acting suspiciously. As he was asking, suddenly a theft occurred in the city. Waiting for him to rush back.  , the four members of that family disappeared suddenly, and no one around them noticed.

    "There are a lot of clues in this, and the arrangements are very careful. That family must be the master of Wei Dynasty!"

    The sheep and the tiger stared, and said in a condensed voice.  The seven or eight flying kite warriors all agreed. After discussing for a while, they started searching everywhere outside the city.  Yang Ku led three or four soldiers and rushed towards a path in the northwest.  Let's say that Sima Zhao and his party took advantage of the chaos to escape.  On the way, Sima Zhao divined a hexagram. Although he didn't know what the hexagram revealed, his expression suddenly became solemn and he repeatedly urged his followers to speed up their pace.  Suddenly, the woods on the right ahead shook.  The expressions of Sima Zhao's three servants immediately changed drastically, and they all prepared to take out their weapons and fight to the death.  Sima Zhao's face was shocked, he waved his hand and shouted.

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

    Sure enough, Sima Zhao had just finished speaking.  Seven or eight men and women dressed as common people hurried out.  The person leading the group was none other than Ma Guang.  It turned out that Ma Guang and others had made an appointment with Sima Zhao, and 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 face darkened and he answered hastily.

    "Those Feiyuan dead soldiers are really extraordinary. The villain and the others were almost discovered. Fortunately, the second master had made arrangements and took advantage of the chaos to escape."

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