The slanting sun is like blood, and the sky is full of light. The fiery clouds covered the western sky, like a brilliant and colorful watercolor painting.

Huo Changqing was boxing in the courtyard, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, as if he was wearing a golden armor.

After a set of punches, Huo Changqing's forehead was full of beads of sweat, and his clothes were soaked. Looking at Xu Wu, Huo Changqing asked, "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he walked towards the house.

Xu Wu said: "The prince has a letter to his father-in-law. ”

After entering the house, Huo Changqing wiped his hands dry before receiving the letter. After reading it, Huo Changqing's face was a little complicated.

Xu Wu hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, what's wrong?" "The prince shouldn't say anything difficult to his father-in-law.

Huo Changqing put the letter on the table next to him and said, "Yunqing wants outsiders to think that Black Widow is my daughter. "The Black Widow was saved by him, and he cultivated it with his own hands. However, the nickname Black Widow was chosen by herself, and no one knows the reason.

Xu Wu sighed, and said with a puzzled expression: "Why did the prince do this? "Good manners, let the father-in-law recognize what the black widow did for his daughter.

Huo Changqing is an old man, how can he not see Yun Qing's intentions: "You should also know that Han Yuxi ordered that not a single grain of grain should flow out, otherwise it will be killed." Now that she wants to ransom people with two million stone grains, without a good reason, Han's prestige will be greatly damaged. But if it is my daughter who is ransomed, then this matter has nothing to do with the Han family. After speaking, Huo Changqing couldn't help laughing: "For the sake of the Han family, Yunqing really took great pains. ”

Xu Wu weakly defended Yunqing: "Father-in-law, the prince is also for the overall situation. After all, the princess's prestige is damaged, which is not conducive to the stability of the overall situation. ”

Huo Changqing turned his head to look at Xu Wu and asked, "Do you mean that you also want me to recognize this daughter?" ”

Xu Wu was also entangled: "Father-in-law, if you don't discuss with the princess, let's find a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "Where in this world is there a way to get the best of both worlds. If there were, Yunqing wouldn't have hit me with the idea. ”

After a pause, Huo Changqing said helplessly: "Forget it, it should be for Ah Hao and jujubes!" ”

Yuxi was reviewing and wrinkling in the room, and when he heard the guard say that Huo Changqing was out asking to see him, he hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet people.

Entering the study, Huo Changqing said: "Do a full set of plays, I want to pick up the black widow in person." ”

Yuxi was a little puzzled: "What is a full set of plays?" What kind of play? Because Yunqing didn't get Huo Changqing's answer, he didn't tell Yuxi about it.

It is said that he has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother, although he is not Yunqing's mother, but he also trained Yunqing by hand. Now for Han Yuxi, Yun Qing came to pit him, Huo Changqing really didn't feel good in his heart: "Yun Qing said two million stone grain to redeem the black widow, outsiders don't know why it will damage your prestige, so he came up with a bad idea, saying that the black widow is my daughter." In this way, the matter has nothing to do with you. ”

Yuxi's eyes widened, seeing that Huo Changqing didn't seem to be joking, and said helplessly: "Uncle Huo, I don't know about this. If not, I'll stop him. Yuxi knew what would happen to the ransom of food, so she was prepared.

Hearing this, Huo Changqing felt a little more relieved, and said, "Although Yunqing has the heart to protect you, this method can indeed avoid future troubles. ”

Seeing that Yuxi was about to speak, Huo Changqing waved his hand and said, "I'll go to Yingzhou tomorrow to pick up people." Since he said that it was his daughter, he naturally had to pick it up in person.

Yuxi's mind was spinning rapidly, and Huo Changqing's appearance was beneficial and harmless to her. Moreover, Huo Changqing is most familiar with the Black Widow, and he is not afraid of Yan Wushuang giving a fake if he goes. Weighing the pros and cons, Yuxi said: "Uncle Huo's trip to Yingzhou this time must be kept secret and not let people know. Otherwise, I'm worried that Yan Wushuang will gain an inch. "If Yan Wushuang gets the news, he will definitely put forward conditions.

Huo Changqing did not refuse, and said, "Then I will go to Yingzhou in disguise." "I haven't been out for a long time, so I should be relaxed when I go to Yingzhou this time.

Yuxi said with a look of shame: "Uncle Huo should be old enough to take care of his life, but now he still has you to work, it's me and Yunqing." ”

Huo Changqing looked at Yuxi and said, "As long as your husband and wife can always be harmonious and beautiful, I will be happy to work hard." "Some time ago, the husband and wife had a conflict, which made him worry about a lot of his age.

Yuxi's old face flushed and said, "Not in the future." ”

Huo Changqing hummed and said, "I believe this." "Just look at Yunqing's pit for the Han family now, I know that the husband and wife will not have any more conflicts.

Yuxi quickly recovered his expression and said, "Uncle Huo, do you want to adopt a child to inherit the Huo family's incense?" "As for Huo Changqing's life experience, not to mention that Yuxi is Yunqing, it is not very clear.

Huo Changqing waved his hand and said, "No." "People die like lights go out, and Huo Changqing doesn't attach importance to the inheritance of incense.

is also grateful to Huo Changqing for coming out this time, otherwise Yuxi would not care about this kind of nosy. Seeing Huo Changqing's refusal, Yuxi didn't say anything more.

At dinner, Liu Er looked at Yuxi's happy appearance and couldn't help asking, "Mother, is it that Dad has won a big battle?" "Otherwise, why would her mother be so happy.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." "A few days ago, there was a defeat in Guangxi. As for Yunnan, because Yunqing has just arrived, it will take a few days to go to war.

Brother Rui said his guess: "That's the eldest sister who has been promoted again?" ”

Yuxi still smiled and shook his head and said, "No. "Yuxi has already written to Du Zheng and asked him to press the jujube, don't let that girl rise too fast. Now the main reason for letting her out is to exercise, and to make military merits and be promoted, these will be opportunities in the future.

Brother Hao hurriedly said: "Mother, what is that good thing? Speaking out, let's be happy and happy. ”

Yuxi shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't say." "It's also not good to tell the child about this, and it can't be said that Yunqing dragged Huo Changqing into the water in order to protect her.

Brother You'er suddenly understood: "Mother, this won't be your secret with your father again, right?" "Anyway, there are a lot of secrets between my father and my mother, and it's not bad like this.

Yuxi said with a smile on his face: "This time I said it right. This is a secret I have with your father, and I can't tell you. After saying this, he said to the five people, "It's time to eat." ”

Yuxi's smiling appearance, not to mention the five sisters and brothers, even the whole grandmother was a little curious: "Princess, what kind of happy event is it?" After following Yuxi for so many years, it was the first time she was so happy to see Yuxi.

There was nothing to hide from Mama Quan, and Yuxi told Yunqing what he had done. After finishing speaking, Yuxi smiled: "He Rui really surprised me this time. Although she is not afraid of everyone's criticism, Yunqing's maintenance this time makes Yuxi feel sweet.

When Mama Quan heard this, she sighed with emotion: "The prince finally knows that it is indeed worth being happy to think about you and take the initiative to share it for you." This shows that Yunqing really takes Yuxi to heart.

Yuxi said with a smile: "Although I came a little late, I finally waited." ”

In order to avoid people's eyes, Huo Changqing set off the next night, and said to the outside world that he was going to Zhuangzi to escape the summer.

Xu Wu sent Huo Changqing away and went back to his home, washed up and went to see Xu Chengze first, and then went back to the main courtyard, making his youngest son Chenghong cry before stopping.

Ling was funny and angry, and only after coaxing the child did he say to Xu Wu: "You are really good enough to be a father, and you have to make Hong'er cry every time you come back." ”

Xu Wu smiled and asked the nurse to hold the child down, and then told the Ling family about something: "The princess said that she would choose a companion for the second young master next year, and asked me which young master I wanted Cheng Ze to follow." "Only a few people know about choosing a companion for Brother Rui's triplets. That's the same, Xu Wu will tell the Ling clan about this until now.

Regarding his son's future, how could the Ling family not care: "Master, then who do you want Ze'er to follow?" "It is best to follow the future of the prince, but the son is much younger than the prince and has lost the opportunity. As for the three young masters below, the Ling clan didn't know their details, so in the end, Xu Wu had to make up his mind.

Xu Wu has been struggling with this matter these days: "The second young master is good at martial arts, and his ambition is to become a general; The third young master is a good writer, and his ambition is to become a university scholar. As for the fourth young master, it hasn't been determined yet......"

Ling asked, "Does the old man want Ze'er to follow the second young master?" "After many years of husband and wife, the Ling family also knows something about Xu Wu. In Xu Wu's mind, he also wanted his son to join the martial arts.

Xu Wu said: "The smartest among the triplets is the fourth young master, but the fourth young master is not inferior, and it is uncertain what future he will have in the future." "Brother Xuan is the first to rule it out, Xu Wuke will not let his son follow the text, so he is entangled in whether to let his son follow Brother Rui or Brother You.

Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then the second young master or the fourth young master, which of them is closer to the prince of the world?" ”

Xu Wu understood the meaning of Ling's words, and shook his head: "The prince treats triplets equally, and they are very close. "It is equivalent to saying that the brotherly relationship is very good.

Ling didn't know how to make a choice now: "Anyway, there is still more than half a year, let's think about it slowly." ”

Xu Wu hummed and said, "That's it." ”

Han Jianming sent the raised grain to Xiayi. Such a large amount of grain was sent to Xiayi, and the whereabouts could not be hidden at all, and everyone who got the news was speculating whether they were preparing to attack Shandong.

The general who guarded Xiayi was Lu Fei, and he got Yunqing's letter to know the purpose of this batch of grain. Therefore, when the first batch of grain arrived in Xiayi, he did not put it into storage, but found a large civilian granary to store it.

Zhao Buwei knew about this situation and asked Lu Fei: "General, why didn't you put the grain into the military warehouse?" He felt that the purpose of this batch of grain was not like preparing for the attack on Shandong.

Lu Fei glanced at Zhao Buwei and said, "This is not something you should ask. "Before the transaction, he didn't dare to reveal the purpose of this batch of grain.

Zhao Buwei is not stupid, he knew that there was a problem when he heard this: "The grain was sent to Xiayi, and it was not to prepare for the attack on Shandong?" Is this batch of grain ready to be sent to the capital? ”

Lu Fei said with a displeased face: "I said, this is not something you should ask. ”

Zhao Buwei endured his anger and said: "General, if this grain is really given to the imperial court, it is equivalent to weakening his own strength and strong enemy." General, you must stop. ”

When Lu Fei heard this, he said with a cold face: "Zhao Buwei, what the prince wants to do is not your turn and I will peck it." I didn't punish you for committing a crime last time, if you dare to be impulsive and bad again this time, don't blame me for not remembering the love of the past. ”

Seeing that Zhao Buwei was still going to speak, Lu Fei said coldly: "Get out." "Although Zhao Buwei is a fierce general, it is also a headache to make a bull spirit.

Even if Zhao Buwei was unwilling, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Lu Fei who was angry. The others are not as impulsive as Zhao Buwei, and they are still waiting. After all, the grain is still in Xiayi and has not been sent out of the country.

At the beginning of July, Huo Changqing arrived in Xiayi. However, he did not show up, but hid in a private house. A few days later, the black widow was also escorted by Yan Shaoqiu and arrived in Yingzhou.

It was Lu Fei who came forward to trade, there was no way, this was ordered by Yunqing, and he didn't want to come forward.

It was also when the two sides were trading that Huo Changqing appeared. The first is to verify the identity of Yan Wushuang and not let Yan Wushuang fake, and the second is to let everyone know the identity of the black widow.

Although it was Yan Wushuang who offered to exchange the Black Widow for food, it was impossible for him to hand over a whole person back. Black Widow is now not only scarred all over her body, but also has broken tendons and tendons, if it weren't for Black Widow's strong vitality, she would have died a long time ago.

Huo Changqing stretched out his hand and touched the black widow's forehead, and said softly, "Yan'er, you have suffered. ”

The black widow, who only had half a life left, looked like a ghost when she heard Huo Changqing's words. Every time I saw Huo Changqing before, I looked like I was cold and didn't want to enter, when had I ever been so warm. Also, what the hell is Yan'er? However, the black widow's brain turned quickly, and she didn't ask the question in her heart, but just said with a guilty look: "My suffering is nothing, but it has affected the princess." "In exchange for two million stone grains for her, I think the princess will be under a lot of pressure.

Seeing this, Lu Fei asked in a low voice, "Old lady, are you right?" He didn't know the identity of the black widow, and Huo Changqing didn't say it clearly. Some things are better for people to guess than to say them directly.

The Black Widow was trained by Huo Changqing, and he could recognize it at a glance if it was true or not. Huo Changqing nodded and said, "That's right, it's Yan'er." ”

500,000 stone grain has been sent, and now that the person is confirmed, the remaining 1 million stone grain will be sent out in the next few days.

Yan Shaoqiu looked at Huo Changqing not far away, and asked Huang An, the general guarding Yingzhou: "Do you know this old man?" Although Huo Changqing is very famous, he lives in a simple place, and not many people have seen him. There are very few people on Yan Wushuang's side who know him.

Huang An shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." This man must have come from Pickaxe City. "Seeing that Lu Fei is so respectful to that old man, this person's status must not be low. If he was in Xiayi, he couldn't have known it.

Yan Shaoqiu said with some uneasiness in his heart: "Send someone to find out the identity of this old man." ”
