Chapter 40: Fox Love 40
The relationship between Han and Hungary became more and more tense, and the imperial court suppressed it several times, but there were still rumors, and the originally lively capital of the Han Dynasty suddenly became bleak and desolate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info East Market and West Market have also begun to close. Merchants no longer go out to do business, but all hide in their homes and pray for peace. The capital of the Han Dynasty turned from prosperity to desolation in an instant.
The people panicked, and the court was helpless. Under this heavy oppression, there are also teams of people and horses rushing through it. They are the minions of the Three Flames Tower, and they are the dead soldiers of the Lu Mansion. They were ordered by their son-in-law's death and spared no effort to find Huo Quai. To live to see people, to die to see corpses.
"Ahh
Who is crying out in pain? Follow the sound and walk back to the woods of last night. Passing through the decaying wooden door, the eyes suddenly opened up. In the courtyard, the pavilions and pavilions are all exquisitely carved and exquisite. The emerald bamboo carving of the black jade is lifelike, the living water flows slowly in the water pavilion and makes a sound, looking towards the pool, the captivity inside is precious fish fry, which is rare to see in a hundred years.
The white jade roof, shining in the sun; The floor tiles covered with jade agate have a variety of patterns, which makes people overwhelmed. The exquisite carvings, the peculiar arrangement, and the atmosphere of antiquity all make people admire and sigh.
Following the direction of the voice, it was a shout from the main house of the East Courtyard. As the footsteps approached, a cold breath came, and people couldn't help but shiver. The capital city in winter can be called an extremely cold place. Raising his head and observing carefully, it turned out that this place was built with thousands of years of cold ice, only cold but not warm.
"Pain, pain, kill me!"
Lu Xigu was lying on the bed made of ice, his body curled up and trembling, and there were people in cotton clothes standing around him, they looked at Lu Xigu with expressionless faces and cried out in pain, indifferent, it seemed that they were used to seeing such a scene.
At this time, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and a housekeeper-like man stepped in, only to see him standing respectfully in front of the bed, bowing his head and saying:
"Young master, there is still no whereabouts of Huo Gongzi, six days have passed, should we let ......?"
The housekeeper stood aside respectfully with his head down, and said in a low voice, saying that he was about to observe the young master in the back, but saw the young master get up and step forward.
"Smack!"
Lu Xigu stepped forward and supported his weak body. A slap was slapped, and the latter took it hard, and his body couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Lu Xigu supported the wall with one hand, forcibly exercising, and the qi and blood were surging, and he was already hurting himself. Lu Xi Gu Jian raised his eyebrows, trembling and pointing to the outside of the courtyard and shouted:
"Find, go find me!"
With that, he fainted, leaving only a room of guards in a panic.
"Hehe, Brother Lu, Brother Lu, come and arrest me!"
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, want, want"
"Okay, okay, Brother Lu bought it for us."
"Brother Lu......"
Who is it that is drowsy in the dark? In a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the capital, Huo Quzhi slowly opened his eyes, sat up from the ground with difficulty, and patted his dizzy head painfully with his chubby little hands, trying to wake himself up.
finally made it possible to adapt to the darkness, but Huo Quzhi's eyes widened. What kind of place is this, you can see in the dark that it is a warehouse-like room, large but dilapidated. It seems that some wealthy family abandoned the unwanted house in a hurry. Neat tables, chairs can be clearly seen.
A gust of night wind blew from the corner of the dilapidated wall, and Huo Quai, who was thinly dressed, found that the warm light fur on his body had long been gone. Huo Quzhi turned his gaze away from himself and looked at the children in the same situation as him in the house. These children are no more than three or four years old, and the oldest is no more than six years old, and they are all delicate.
It seems that this is where the traffickers hide and sell children. Huo Quzhi observed carefully, and finally found his light fur in the corner of the wall on the other side, he moved his thin calves, walked to the group of children with difficulty, innocently stretched out his hand, and said glutinously:
"Little brother, please give me back the light fur."
As if they hadn't heard, the children didn't raise their heads, still surrounding the light fur, gobbling up the steamed buns that had cooled in their hands.
Huo Qu was sick and saw that no one paid attention to him, and he was bullied since he was a child, and he had the intention of retreating, but his body was really cold, so he had no choice but to muster up the courage again and said loudly:
"This light fur is mine, please give it back to me with a few little brothers."
In an instant, the room was quiet, and the children who were still doing their own things stopped their hands and raised their heads to look at Huo Quai. At this time, the child who was still nibbling on the steamed bun in his hand also raised his head, and his cloudy eyes looked at Huo Quai, cold like a poisonous snake in the dark
I saw the child open his lips and spit out a foul smell:
"Yours? When it comes to my overlord's territory, as long as you haven't been sold, then everything is mine! ”
Huo Quzhi sat on the ground and looked at the child in front of him who claimed to be the overlord, swallowed his saliva and wanted to retreat to his corner, but his eyes drifted to his light fur, thinking that this was made by the fox that Brother Lu personally hunted in the mountains on his birthday, and he was injured for this Brother Lu.
Now that Qingqiu belongs to someone else, Huo Quzhi feels uncomfortable when he thinks about it. After weighing left and right, I still plucked up my courage, and said again:
"Please give it back to me, it's important to me."
At this time, not only the overlord was stunned, I am afraid that he didn't expect that someone would disobey him here again and again. Even the people around them were shocked, and they all lowered their heads and whispered.
The Overlord stepped back from his body and stood up, followed by several children who followed him. Huo Quzhi found out that these children should be about eight or nine years old, but they are so thin due to long-term malnutrition.
As they approached step by step, Huo Qubing stepped back step by step, and accidentally tripped himself to the ground, causing the people around him to laugh. The boy named Overlord at the head pulled the light fur in his hand and handed it to Huo Quzhi with a smile, signaling that he could take it.
Huo Quzhi cautiously stretched out his hand to pick it up, and laughed happily after taking the light qiu in his hand, but before he was happy for a few minutes, a sharp pain was passed over, Huo Quzhi fell to the ground, and the light qiu he had just got in his hand was taken back again, his eyes were soaked with tears, and Huo Quzhi looked up at the children.
I saw the corner of the overlord's mouth hooked slightly, and he kicked at Huo Quai, Huo Qubing had been pampered by Lu Xi since he was born, when did he suffer such pain, he screamed and rolled towards the other person. Huo Qubing thought that this was the end, but the children around him knew that this was just the beginning.
