Huo Quzhi turned his head to see that there was a white-clothed immortal suspended in the mist outside the window, who was his biological father who taught him to march and fight six years ago and guided him on the road to the horse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He doesn't have much affection for this biological father, on the contrary, he still has some incense for his nominal father Huo Zhongru, once he passed through Pingyang County, visited Huo Zhongru, and brought Huo Zhongru's son Huo Guang back to Chang'an to cultivate, this feeling may come from the lack of father's love, maybe it is resentment towards his mother and biological father, in short, no one knows the proud heart of the genius boy.

Liu Yanzhi was not surprised by Huo Quai's death with a horizontal sword, and he did not stop it, but jumped indoors, sat down cross-legged in a big way, and took off a pair of hiking shoes that did not match the times and put them aside.

"Put down the thing in your hand, let's drink two cups and chat."

In this world, there are only two people who can speak to Huo Quzhi in this tone, one is the current emperor Liu Che, and the other is the one in front of him.

Huo Quzhi threw down his long sword, sat directly opposite Liu Yan, and said after a while: "Why did you only come today?" ”

"I'll only show up when you need me." Liu Yan said bluntly, "If I didn't show up just now, you would be lying on the ground now, you are like a murderer, you must know what the effect of cutting the carotid artery is, blood will be sprinkled all over the room like a fountain, you will slowly lose your strength, your body will become cold, you will be confused, and then you will die." ”

Huo Quzhi didn't speak, his eyes were still dull, and he didn't have the domineering and sharp spirit that he had fought and killed for many years, but he looked like a person with deep depression who jumped off the building without saying a word.

Liu Yanzhi sighed secretly: "What, Lao Tzu came from afar, are you going to invite me to a glass of wine?" ”

After a full minute, Huo Quzhi slowly got up and knocked the bronze bell under the corridor, this is a tool to call the subordinates, Da Sima needs to be quiet, the subordinates live far away, there are still people on duty at dawn, after hearing the bell, there was a rush of footsteps, and three attendants wearing high gauze hats came downstairs to kneel down to listen to the order.

"Prepare the wine." Huo Quzhi said two words concisely.

The attendants trotted through the courtyard to the kitchen to order the purchase of wine and food, Huo Qu died of illness in September, it was the mid-autumn season, the back garden of the Great Sima Mansion was a little bleak, and the fog gradually dissipated, revealing the tall and majestic Weiyang Palace in the distance.

Huo Quzhi was still silent, and had no desire to talk, Liu Yanzhi had no choice but to talk to himself: "Let me guess the reason why you don't want to live, first of all, you feel bored, the Huns can't help but fight, you are only twenty-four years old when you seal the wolf Juxu, sweeping the south and north of the desert, victory is no longer attractive to you, it can't stimulate your nerves, your threshold of being fast has been raised too much too fast, and the reality can't keep up." ”

Speaking of this, Huo Quzhi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yanzhi, showing a little agreement

"But your biggest enemy is not the Huns, but the closest people around you, their strength, even with the great Sima Hussar general champion Hou you can't fight, you live a very hard life, you are proud in your bones, you like the feeling of the stars holding the moon, you like to be admired by all the people, appreciated by the emperor, loved by the soldiers, but these you have gained, but you have lost them all."

Huo Quzhi sat up straight, his eyes gradually became bright, no one dared to say these words to him, only the immortal in front of him.

"You joined the army at the age of seventeen, you were out of control, and your achievements were impressive, chasing Wei Qing, that is, your mother's younger brother, your own uncle Wei Qing, it is undeniable that Wei Qing is very good at fighting, but you are more warlike than him, and you are younger, having such two generals who can fight is the blessing of the Han Dynasty, but not the blessing of the emperor."

Ordinary people may not understand this, but people who are old in the power struggle will understand it as soon as they hear it, the merit is high, not to mention the two generals who are in charge of almost the entire army of the Han Dynasty, the current emperor Liu Che has lived in the whirlpool of power struggle since he was a child, he understands the truth too well, Wei Qing is Huo Quai's people are all members of the Wei family, and his queen Wei Zifu gave birth to a son, his relatives are involved in politics, and the future troubles are endless, and the strength of the Wei family has expanded too rapidly, so that it threatens the imperial power, so Huo Quai's existence, It is a blessing for the country, but it is not a blessing for the royal family.

Liu Yan said directly: "So the emperor deliberately vigorously supported you, using your young personality to compete with Wei Qing everywhere, and supported you to become another force in order to compete with the Wei clan." ”

Huo Quzhi finally spoke, and he smiled sadly: "What Wei clan is, it's just a group of slaves in Princess Pingyang's mansion. ”

This is true, the Wei family is all the slaves of Princess Pingyang, Huo Quai's mother Wei Shao'er is a maid, Wei Qing is a riding slave, and the current queen Wei Zifu is a dance girl deliberately cultivated by the princess to be sent to the palace to please the emperor, but I didn't expect that the investment has achieved a huge return, Wei Zifu actually became the queen, Wei Zifu's son is very likely to become the prince, and the people of the Wei family are also very competitive, Wei Young Ji gently led the army to expedition to Monan, and even fought success, and now there is a more capable Huo Quai, the Wei family is no longer a slave, The strength of the Wei clan has actually surpassed that of Princess Pingyang.

Liu Yan said straightly: "The Wei family is just a title, in the final analysis, it is an interest group, Princess Pingyang is also an important person in this group, they are both prosperous and lossy, and in two years, when this horse dies, Princess Pingyang will marry your uncle Wei Qing, if you die now, you will not be able to eat their happy wine." ”

"The princess is married to a former riding slave?" Huo Quzhi sneered in disbelief, but his smile became more and more stiff, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could definitely be done with Princess Pingyang's temper.

"The emperor wants to use you to divide and balance the power of the Wei family, but unfortunately he is wrong about you, you are a military general, not good at political struggle, but this is not up to you, the generals under Wei Qing have taken refuge in your account, because it is easier to fight with you, and the emperor also favors you more, and slowly you have the possibility of replacing Wei Qing, so the Wei family regards you as an enemy, although in fact they are your relatives, you feel this hostility, the first thing you think of is to try your best to please them, so you risk your life to the emperor and ask for the princes to be separated, so that Wei Zifu's son can inherit the throne smoothly, this incident made the emperor very disappointed, and he no longer trusts you. ”

Huo Qu's illness is like sitting on pins and needles, just the attendants went upstairs to send wine and food, the time was in a hurry, the kitchen only bought cold dishes, the raw cut fish stewed on the gold plate, the knife work is very good, the raw fish meat is cut into thin strips, it looks like white vermicelli as crystal clear, plus tempeh, rice vinegar, clear sauce, coriander, garlic, shallots, the mixture is delicious, the wine is a low-degree rice wine, packed with copper jue, sweet and refreshing.

The Han Dynasty implemented a food sharing system, each person set a small table in front of them, each eating their own, not interfering with each other, the attendants were waiting on the side, helping to pour wine or something, Huo Quzhi waved them back, and continued the topic just now.

Liu Yan took a chopstick and tasted the shredded fish, nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"Go on." Huo Qu said sickly, he didn't move his chopsticks, and he had no appetite.

"The Wei interest group actually attacked you a long time ago, but you don't know it, do you remember killing Li Kang?"

Huo Quzhi's face was gloomy, of course he remembered this, Li Dang was Li Guang's son, because Li Guang committed suicide and complained about Wei Qing, so that he killed and injured Wei Qing, he didn't know about this until a hunting in Ganquan Palace, someone secretly told himself, Huo Quai's young hero, he didn't rub sand in his eyes, his temper was extremely short-tempered, and his feelings for his uncle Wei Qing were very good, he immediately had a murderous intention, and shot Li Kang in front of everyone without hesitation, how can you say that you will kill, although this matter was later suppressed by the emperor, it had a fatal blow to Huo Quzhi's reputation.

"Others only know your glamorous appearance, don't know your inner suffering, you are a general, but you are not a soldier, your subordinates are all Hun generals, only recognize gold and silver and do not recognize people, you are a great Sima, but there are no allies in the court, only enemies, they will not give you advice, they will only dig traps for you, you are the son of the Wei family, but you are treated as an enemy by them, you have been a child without a father since you were a child, your mother remarried, she did not take enough care of you, you lack family affection, so that you treat the Huo family as a relative, you once won the trust of the emperor, but he is suspicious, you are only twenty-four years old, you should not go through these troubles. ”

Liu Yan said straightly, raised his glass and drank it all, and looked at the sword: "So you plan to commit suicide, your death will satisfy everyone." ”

Huo Quzhi didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Die, after you die, Liu Che will send a national Xuanjia soldier to give you a funeral, and build your mausoleum as majestic as Qilian Mountain, you will leave your name in the annals of history and become the most warlike general in history, but are you willing?"

"What can it be?" Huo Quzhi smiled bitterly in despair.

"If I take you to a place, it's not very peaceful, the Huns have occupied the Central Plains, the smoke is everywhere, the heroes are chasing the deer, no one knows you there, there is no emperor, there is no Wei family, everything has to start from scratch, every step from a pawn to a general has to rely on yourself, are you willing?"

"I do!" Huo Quzhi stood up excitedly and kicked over the table.

"Alright, you come with me." Liu Yan straightened up and pulled Huo Quzhi's arm, kicked the sword up with a hook of his toes, held it in his hand, flew out of the window, and rose, and several waiters downstairs with roast mutton raised their heads in shock, witnessing Da Sima being taken by the immortals to soar in the day.

In September of the sixth year of Yuanzhen, the news of Huo Qu's death came out, and the entire court was relieved, as Liu Yanzhi said, Huo Qu's death would satisfy everyone, and no one investigated the cause of his death, including his mother Wei Shao'er, and the whole Chang'an was happily arranging the funeral of the hussar general.

At this time, Huo Qubing had not yet left the Han Dynasty, he and his father observed their funeral in the air, and the emperor dispatched the Xuanjia Army of the Five Counties, arranged from the long to Maoling, the specifications were grand, and the momentum was huge, so that he couldn't help but sigh at the distortion of human nature, if they were really reluctant, why should they force themselves to death.
