In Chang'an City, there are eight streets and nine mo, among which Xiangshu Street is the most prosperous.

Tea houses, restaurants, wine shops, theaters, song and dance workshops, brothels, everything, is a place to have fun, so the dignitaries, celebrities and sons gather.

Han Zhen also often wandered around Xiangshu Street, and then easily scooped up some oil and water from these big men of Chang'an City.

Han Zhen did a lot of work during the day, and originally planned to rest for a few days, but he didn't expect that when he escaped from the Drunken Immortal Residence, he accidentally lost the money bag and broke his foot again, which really cost his wife and soldiers. Unfortunately, a younger brother he often helped was sick again and urgently needed money to grab medicine, so Han Zhen had to come to Xiangshu Street again at night.

Tonight's Xiangmuro Street seems to be more lively than usual, with brilliant lights and rubbing shoulders.

Han Zhen got his hands a few times, and was about to call it a day, when he suddenly saw a young man in brocade walking slowly in front of him, and he only felt that his demeanor was extraordinary from behind, so he expected that this was a little fat sheep. When I got closer, I saw a Liuyun Pei hanging from the waist of the brocade-clothed boy, which was worth a lot of money at a glance, so I made up my mind to get this Liuyun Pei in my hand and then go home.

Han Zhen walked a few steps briskly, and only slowed down when he was two or three steps away from the brocade-clothed boy.

After walking for a while, he found that the brocade-clothed boy was a little unsteady in his steps, thinking that he had drunk wine, Han Zhen was secretly happy in his heart, and became more and more sure that this time was foolproof, so he caught up with him in broken steps and made a quick move.

"Ahh Pain, pain, pain! Han Zhen screamed miserably, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Son, spare your life!" Childe spares his life! My hand is going to break, woo woo woo ......"

The brocade-clothed boy effortlessly clamped his wrist and sneered: "Bold thief, I actually stole from the master, open your eyes wide, and see who I am!" ”

Han Zhen grinned in pain, opened his eyes, and found that the person who was holding his wrist at the moment was actually Huo Quai, who attracted countless onlookers during the day!

Han Zhen knelt down in fright, hugged Huo Quai's leg with the remaining hand, and cried and said, "Young Master Huo! It's the little one who is blinded by lard, it's the little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, Huo Gongzi, you adults have a lot, just let the small one go, the small one doesn't dare anymore. ”

The street of the incense room was already bustling, and his crying attracted a lot of attention, and some people recognized Huo Quzhi at a glance, and shouted casually, attracting many onlookers, and in a moment, Huo Qubing and Han Zhen were circled, and they looked lively from ear to ear.

Han Zhen fought with this idea. A rich son like Huo Quzhi pays the most attention to face, and being looked at by so many people, it is not easy for him to be embarrassed by himself anymore.

Sure enough, Huo Quzhi was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said, "You...... What are you doing here? What does a manly man look like when he cries, get up and speak! ”

Han Zhen kept crying: "Huo Gongzi, you can pity me, I have a fifty old mother, a child to be fed, and a younger brother who is sick in bed, and I have to have evil thoughts as a last resort, and I hope that Gongzi will have mercy and let us poor people have a way to live!" ”

Huo Quzhi knew that his fifty mother was waiting to feed her children, and it could be seen that he was crying and crying, and there were onlookers pointing at him, so he really couldn't do anything to him, so he had to let go of his hand and shouted: "Go quickly!" Don't let the master meet you again! ”

"Yes, yes, Xie Huo Gongzi is very kind!" Han Zhen hurriedly let go of Huo Quai's leg and ran away.

Huo Quzhi received a reward in the palace today, and after the next court, he was dragged by a group of "friends" to drink and celebrate on this incense room street.

What he is most unaccustomed to on weekdays is that these sons and buddies in Chang'an City are looking for fun in the pile of fat powder, and the most annoying thing is to be false and wronged at the banquet. But my uncle said that if you want to gain a foothold in officialdom, you need to do some superficial work occasionally, and you must not stagger, and you must not act on the spot. Therefore, although he was extremely tired of it, he still forced himself to come.

After the feast, because he ate a few more glasses of wine, Huo Qu was sick and dismissed the house slaves, wanting to walk in this long-lost Chang'an City, dissipating the wine on his body and the stuffiness in his heart. Who knew that he hadn't walked a few steps, but he was made more and more depressed by Han Zhen's appearance.

Huo Quzhi exhaled a breath of turbidity, shook off his underwear that was stained with a lot of snot and tears, and was about to walk, when he suddenly found that the Liuyun Pei on his waist had disappeared without knowing when.

Huo Quzhi was suddenly very angry, it was a sixteenth birthday gift from his uncle, but in the end it was stolen by the thief.

Turning around, the little thief had long since disappeared, Huo Qu said sickly: If I can't catch you, I won't be surnamed Huo!

***

Han Zhen ran from Xiangshu Street to Xiyin Street in one breath before he dared to hide in the dark alley to catch his breath.

He was sweating profusely, soaking wet, and his right foot, which was already broken, was getting more and more painful, but when he took the Liuyun Pei in front of his eyes and looked at it, he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

Hmph, although he Huo Qubing is invincible on the battlefield, but on the streets of this market, he is by no means his opponent Han Zhen.

Han Zhen took a breath and took Liuyun Pei into his arms, and then walked out of the dark alley and limped home.

Han Zhen's home is in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, where all the people living there are ordinary people from poor families, who have three religions and nine streams, and do everything.

Han Zhen first sent the money he stole tonight to the sick little brother, and told him that he must go to the doctor tomorrow to get medicine, and then went home.

Han Zhen took off his robe, threw it aside, and threw himself on the bed again, never wanting to move again.

He was really tired and desperately needed a good night's sleep to refresh himself.

Before falling asleep, Han Zhen still thought that he would take the Liuyun Pei tomorrow, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

On the second day, Han Zhen deliberately found a pawnshop far away from home.

The pawnshop guy took the Liuyun Pei in his hand and took a good look, and then called the shopkeeper to whisper for a long time, and then he came to greet Han Zhen with kind words.

Han Zhen didn't want to fight with him, so he said bluntly: "Don't talk nonsense, you just say how much it's worth, right?" ”

The guy smiled and said: "This jade pendant is really valuable, the strength of the small shop is limited, and the shopkeeper really likes it, and he doesn't want to give it up, so he personally goes to raise the silver tael, and the guest officer sits for a while, and the shopkeeper will return in a moment." ”

Han Zhen secretly praised himself for his good vision, this Liuyun Pei is really worth a lot, and after changing the money for a while, he bought some delicious food for his younger brothers, so that they could satisfy their hunger, and then go to buy a house, take them all over, and live together.

Han Zhen was imagining a bright future when a group of officers and soldiers suddenly poured in from the pawnshop and immediately surrounded him.

Han Zhen immediately realized that he had fallen for this guy, and the shopkeeper did not go to raise any silver taels, but to move troops.

His mind turned sharply, and he suddenly realized that it must be the master of Liuyun Pei - Huo Quai's ghost. He thought he was moving fast enough, but he didn't expect Huo Quzhi's movements to be faster, and he was really not an ordinary person.

At this point, he had become a turtle in an urn, and there was no way to escape, so he had to be captured, and was tied up and taken away by the officers and soldiers.

As he expected, the officers and soldiers took him to Huo Quai's house.

Han Zhen knelt on the ground and looked at Huo Quai, who was sitting in the hall, only to see that he was playing with the Liuyun Pei, his face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he wanted.

Han Zhen secretly thought: He won't kill me just for a jade pendant, right? This is not for sure, he has been on the battlefield, killing people without blinking, killing him a nameless thief is not as simple as stepping on an ant. What to do? Beg? I used it yesterday, so it's useless to redo it. God, I'm not really going to die young, am I? I'm not even eighteen years old, and I haven't married a daughter-in-law or a father, so I don't want to die so early!

Just as Han Zhen's inner drama was in full swing, Huo Quzhi suddenly said, "What are you thinking?" ”

Han Zhen hurriedly stopped his mind and said flatteringly: "I was thinking, I didn't see it clearly when the sky was dark last night, but when I saw it today, I realized that the son had a unique appearance, and he was actually the most beautiful man in the Han Dynasty." Not only that, Gongzi has great talents and strategies at such a young age, and the reputation of the god of war has long spread throughout Chang'an. Childe, you are the idol worshiped by countless young boys, the dream lover of countless young girls, and the ......"

"That's enough." Huo Quzhi said coldly: "It is a skill to be able to say flattery so empty and exaggerated." I only ask you, how are you going to explain the theft of my jade pendant? ”

If it doesn't work, Han Zhen can only continue to sell miserably.

"Huo Gongzi, how can a man like you, who is tall and handsome and has a lot of money, understand how difficult it is for a short, ugly and poor person like me to live? As soon as I was born, my mother died, and when I was three years old, my father also died, and I was sent to my uncle. My aunt thought I was ugly, and beat and scolded me and refused to give me food. Pity me for my young age, and I have nowhere to go, although I have been bullied, I have to send someone to the fence. When I was 10 years old, I couldn't stand my aunt's abuse anymore and ran away from home. Huo Gongzi, how do you say that I am a helpless ten-year-old child? What else can I do other than petty theft? Huo Gongzi, for the sake of me being so miserable, you have a lot of adults, treat me as a fart, right? I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your great kindness, woo, please......"

Listening to him talk about how miserable his life experience was and how pitiful his fate was, Huo Quzhi inexplicably felt that this little thief was a little cute, and faintly wanted to laugh.

But he held back, and now was not the time to laugh.

Huo Quzhi coughed and said, "But I remember you said yesterday that you have a fifty-year-old mother, a child to be fed, and a younger brother who is sick in bed." ”

Han Zhen wiped his tears and said: "If the brothers on the road are caught, they will say this, I just have the same example, and I definitely don't mean to deceive my son." ”

"Really?" Huo Quzhi stood up, paced in front of Han Zhen, and said, "Since you are begging like this, if I still hold on to you, it will seem that I have a small belly and no pity." ”

When Han Zhen heard that there was a play, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it too obviously, and he couldn't bear it really hard.

I only heard Huo Quai's illness and said: "You just said, if I let you go, how will you repay me?" ”

What did Fang Cai say? Han Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your great kindness!" ”

Huo Quzhi hooked his lips and smiled, unspeakably arrogant, and said, "Don't wait for the next life, just this life." ”
