Chapter 22 22

The night goes on; The dawn has not yet come; The afflicted are still struggling with sin; The miserable still climb in purgatory; Those who seek the light are still looking forward to climbing out of the abyss and grasping for the light for salvation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of the night, the nightingale outside the hospital cried, not as happy as usual, but mourning kept making the listener sad and the listener weeping. For whom to cry, for whom to lament, and for whom to be unwilling to regret. The living water in the pavilion flows and makes a small sound. Like the passing years, it is to take away whose love, to sigh whose youth, or to take away the hidden love that has never been known.

The night is the beginning of sin; It is also a burial of the past. Countless joys and sorrows, the end of the world begins here and ends at dawn. Night is a relic of history; How many stories it has sealed, how many centuries have passed. Countless love sprouts and destruction have taken place here, buried here.

In the middle of the night, the bell rings. The watchmen sang outside, and the soldiers on patrol hurried. The sound of footsteps entered the hospital. I picked up the tea cup in front of the table, took a deep breath of tea, this is the best dragon well before the rain, in the years of the Han and Hungarian turmoil, it is really rare, it seems that Huo Qu's illness is really as rumored, the holy favor is not fading.

Listening to the sound of dew ticking, ticking, ticking on the green leaves, I turned my head to look out the window, and the full moon illuminated the world. It turns out that today is the full moon, I sighed in my heart. Looking at such a beautiful moonlight, my heart began to wander and my eyes began to fade. I started to feel dazed again, and I started to miss that blurry cheek again.

I was the god of creation, I should have enjoyed the joy of life in that palace, I should have swam unhindered in the desolate void, and I should have stayed with her for a long time. But why am I willing to be a slave to the devil, to take the souls of the world, and to do the dirty trade that sometimes even I am disgusted and despised?

I am supposed to bless mankind and give mankind great mercy, and I should use my compassionate and generous mind to solve all the sufferings of the world. Let all mortals in the world respect me and love me. Instead of doing the dirty business of buying and selling souls with these dying people here.

"Sir, sir?"

Who called me in the darkness, who waited for me in the light, and who showed me the way in the confusion. I walked in the darkness and prayed slowly, there was no warmth of light, no feeling of heat, only an illusion of emptiness. I was bound in it, and I was not allowed to advance or retreat.

"Sir, sir!"

This cry was accompanied by a pain that pierced into my bones, and I was suddenly taken out of the darkness and into the light.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the half-burned incense candles in the house swaying from side to side in the wind. In the dim and unknown room, I observed the surroundings, Huo Quzhi's face on the sickbed was even paler, and the black death qi above the Yin Hall was more obvious, I knew that he was not far from the time of death, so he hung his breath like this because he was obsessed and refused to leave.

I looked down to see where the sore spot was coming from, and it was Huo Quzhi's pale arm stretched out from the brocade quilt and grasping at my wrist on the edge of the bed. is worthy of being a military general, even if he is sick and will die soon, the power of the body should not be underestimated.

Looking at Huo Quai's pale smile and his consciousness was attributed, I suddenly remembered that I had been invited to Huo Mansion early this morning to bury the body of General Huo.

"Sir, do you need to increase your physical strength?" Huo Quzhi laughed and teased me.

I looked down and smiled, but secretly I took my own pulse, which is too rare today. I am a god, how can I be so easily approached by nightmares? Suddenly, I tightened my fingers and grabbed my wrist so hard that I never expected it to turn out like this.

"Is it all right, sir?"

Huo Quzhi saw that my face was pale and frightened, and he opened his lips and asked with concern.

I shook my head with a faint smile and decided to close the deal quickly. So I opened my mouth and said directly to the topic: "It is rumored that General Huo and his wife are deeply in love, and his wife has been born and died for General Huo several times, and has followed him left and right, but now this mansion is ......."

I lowered my head and took a sip of tea, and without waiting for Huo Quai's answer, I continued:

"On the day I first came, I saw guilt, self-blame, and unbearable love in General Huo's eyes, I think this is probably not the emotion of the illusory lady who has never appeared in front of the world, but someone else, am I right?"

Huo Quzhi listened with a faint smile at first, and the more he went back, the more frightened and unbelievable his eyes were, and when he heard everything I said, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, this look was even more strange on a sick and frail face, and it was even more strange under the dim candlelight.

I saw him open his mouth a few times, close it several times, and repeat it several times before he made up his mind to confide: "I love her, but she never knows that I love her, and I don't know if she ever loves me." But it doesn't matter, she is living a good life now, and my responsibility is too great to give her what she wants. I just want to be able to love like this. ”

I raised my eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that I was an idiot again. I drank the tea with a calm face, and watched Huo Quzhi open his lips and begin to tell an unknown secret, perhaps compared to serving the country loyally, this is his obsession.

My family was not wealthy, and my birth was not liked by many people. My mother was the maid of Princess Binh Duong, and she had an affair with my father that led to my birth. As soon as I was born, in addition to my parents, there were also uncles and aunts of the Wei family who loved me very much, and Lu Xigu took a lot of care of me.

The Lu family is a famous courtier in the court, and I was born as a servant girl who laughed at me, and the nobles in the court avoided me. They all looked at me with disdain and disdain, only Lu Xigu never disliked me and always treated me like a brother.

When I was a child, he ran away for me and ridiculed my celebrities, taught me strategy, tactics, and taught me how to lead troops into battle. He is smarter than me, the world only knows that I Huo Qubing is a good hand at marching and fighting, and a hero who drives away the Huns, but no one knows that the real strategist in Chengdu in the Han Dynasty is the outstanding soldier who is Lu Xigu in the name of the gentleman.

I watched, Huo Qubing said this story with difficulty, and asked funny:

"Since he is so good, why is it you who entered the court, and you are the one who entered the emperor's eyes, and the Lu Xigu you said has no figure above the court, and I also heard that the Lu family was found to have embezzled military salaries when you were named a hussar general, and they were beheaded all over the house."

"Hehe, hehe, the world is ignorant." Huo Qu was sick and sneered with a white face.

It's another year of snow, and Chengdu in the Han Dynasty has long been covered in silver, which is extremely enchanting. The people happily went to the street to buy and buy New Year's goods, and a warm atmosphere spread out from the street.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu."

A childish shout sounded, in the inconspicuous street corner there is a snow-white glutinous rice dumpling was held in the arms of a young man, the young man is only eight or nine years old, but the height is much taller than his peers, the young man is angular, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the eyes are resolute since childhood, there is a kind of majestic momentum that shocks people, people passing by will see a word of praise in their hearts, this young man will not be a thing in the pool in the future.

Lu Xigu heard Huo Quai's glutinous voice in his arms and lowered his head to look at him, only to see Huo Quai's dishonest movements, and seeing that Lu Xigu finally looked down at him, he immediately raised his pink little face, his eyes were gurgling, and he grinned at Lu Xigu and said:

"Brother Lu, go down, go down."

When Lu Xigu heard this, not only did he not let go, but instead lifted Huo Quzhi, who kept falling, up again, and hugged him tighter.

Huo Quzhi saw that his goal was not achieved, but he let himself be bound more tightly, and he was about to cry out aggrievedly as soon as his small mouth was deflated.

Seeing this situation, Lu Xigu hurriedly and carefully comforted, looking at Huo Quai's aggrieved little eyes, Lu Xigu couldn't help laughing, seeing that Huo Quai's illness was about to fall again, he hurriedly said softly:

"Ah is sick, now that the snow is so heavy, if Ah is sick and walks down and accidentally catches a cold, Brother Lu will be distressed."

Huo Quzhi pursed his lips aggrievedly, looking unhappy. The two calves kicked wildly, struggling to go down. Lu Xigu was helpless, so he had to put him down on the ground, and carefully surrounded Huo Quzhi's hood, and looked left and right to see if there was no big omission, so he patted Huo Quzhi's little head with confidence:

"Okay, don't let go of Brother Lu's hand, let's go out to play."

Huo Quzhi was free, nodded happily, grabbed Lu Xigu's finger and dragged it out, eager to get out of the corner and join the lively crowd to have a good time.

When Lu Xigu saw Huo Quai's appearance, he shook his head helplessly and was dragged by him to step up, for fear that Huo Qubing would be accidentally taken to the ground by him.

Huo Quzhi has been confined to his home since he was a child, and he rarely sees the outside world, and what he is most often exposed to is the fresh news that Lu Xigu brings from the outside. Today's outing, how can he not be excited. As soon as it landed, it happily rushed towards the flow of people. Lu Xigu shouted helplessly behind him.

The dispute between the Han and the Hungarians intensified, and the harmony could no longer resolve the contradictions between the two ethnic groups, but on the contrary made the contradictions more acute. Huo Quzhi was strolling around the street excitedly, his eyes were full of curiosity, Lu Xigu was tall and slender, and he could easily shuttle through the crowd without Huo Qu's small flexibility. Lu Xigu was running in the sea of people with difficulty, and his eyes were watching Huo Quai.

Suddenly, a rapid flow of people crossed the street, and Lu Xigu was blocked. Lu Xigu suddenly lost his sight and couldn't find Huo Quai, and his heart suddenly panicked. While shouting loudly in the hope of getting Huo Quai's response, he struggled to shuttle through the sea of people, but the sound of the vast sea of people shouting out was also drowned out, even if he tried to shuttle through the crowd, he only stood still, unable to move an inch.

Finally, this large flow of people finally ended, and Lu Xigu could finally see the distant scenes in front of him, but there was no Huo Quai's young body in these scenes. Lu Xigu angrily smashed the hammer against the wall, feeling remorse and self-blame. Huo Quai's immature cheeks and innocent shouting at Brother Lu gradually appeared in his mind. Lu Xigu's hand smashing against the wall gradually stopped, and his head gradually turned to look at the still lively street, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had made up his mind.

The lost Huo Qu was not panicked, he was still holding the sugar gourd that Lu Xigu had just bought for him in his hand, and while ****ing, he wandered around the street, and came out of the city unconsciously. At this time, a pair of two people who had been ambushed for a long time found the right time to pounce and stuff the anesthetic medicine they had prepared in their hands into their mouths, and they were ready to take advantage of the night to take it away.

It turned out that these two people were well-known traffickers in the capital, and they often took advantage of such a season to abduct and sell lonely young children on the street. Huo Qu was a little cute, and when he followed Lu Xigu on the street, he was targeted by the two, and he was finally singled, how could these two give up. These two people took Huo Qu's illness away with peace of mind, but they didn't know that there was a commotion in the capital.

The coming of the night can always cover up all the evils, the night of the capital of the Han Dynasty, there is no calm in the past, if you observe carefully, you can see that the city is full of masked people wearing night clothes, if you know how to do it, you can see that this is a group of well-trained dead soldiers.

"Young master, I didn't find it. Or...... Yes! ”

One of the dead men was kicked to the ground before he could finish his sentence.

"Waste, keep looking, don't come back if you can't find you." A ruthless but slightly immature voice sounded, as the voice approached, a young figure came out of the darkness, and under a beam of moonlight, people suddenly saw his appearance, it was actually Lu Xigu who was anxiously looking for someone during the day.

At this time, Lu Xigu had a resolute face, his eyes were ruthless and vicious but worried, and he didn't look like he was laughing in the daytime. Who would have thought of the young master they were in awe of, the young master who was like a genius would be the most famous gentleman in the capital of the Han Dynasty in the eyes of ordinary people.

At night, the capital of the Han Dynasty was still peaceful and peaceful, but there was a little anxiety in the calm. Who is sighing in the dark, who is looking in the moonlight, and who is tormenting in purgatory.

At night, the Han Dynasty capital is full of stars, which is the most beautiful time of the day, and the pedestrians on the streets are in a hurry, and there is no time to take in this beautiful scenery. They looked nervous, shuttling back and forth, bowing their heads from time to time to talk about something. Looks like they're looking for someone. Suddenly, a guard was transported to the ground, and when he untied his face scarf, he saw that it was the guard who reported the situation in front of Lu Xigu at night.

Now he is angry that Lu Xigu is seriously injured, but he still grits his teeth and looks for someone. After a day and a night of physical exertion, he finally fainted, and he didn't know what to do. Seeing this, the surrounding dead men stopped their steps and helped him up and dragged him to the corner of the city gate.

"Snap"

A faint sound fell, and it was very clear in the silence of the night, but no one noticed the preoccupied dead soldiers. After placing the fainted dead man in the corner, they all turned to do their own thing. The injured will be answered. The most important thing now is to find the young son of the Huo family, who the young master values the most, and let the young master calm his anger.

The moonlight illuminates the land, and a silver waist plate burns on the polished bluestone bricks. The emblem of the three flames on it is particularly eye-catching. If there is someone who knows how to do it at the moment (to be continued.) )
