A month passed in a blink of an eye, and this day was the first day of the new year. Rui'er and I took leave from Uncle Chen and went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to burn incense together.

I seem to have become the chief maid in Huo Mansion, and the girls below saw that I was close to Huo Quai, and they all came to scold me, and treated me very well.

It's just that I'm still dealing with people as before, and everyone sees that I'm young and very sophisticated in human affairs, and they can't help but have some respect for me.

Rui'er and I took the carriage of Huo's Mansion to Ci'en Temple, and Uncle Chen valued me a lot because of Huo Qu's illness, so I went out this time Uncle Chen specially sent ten guards to escort me all the way. I thought this formation was too big, but Uncle Chen insisted, so I had to let these people hug them out of the door.

The carriage walked out of the inner city and along the official road towards the Temple of Mercy and Grace. Along the way, Rui'er was quite eccentric, looking at me and trying to say something but not daring to say it.

There was an incense burner in the carriage, and the fragrance of osmanthus was faintly wafting on the carriage, so I raised the teacup and gently put it to my mouth and took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Say whatever you want!" ”

Rui'er blushed, and said half-loudly: "Lan'er, is the young master going to accept you as a concubine?" ”

I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood and said, "What!? ”

Rui'er's little face flushed, and she said: "Everyone in the house says so, the young master treats you well since you were a child, and others will blush when they look at it." Now that you can speak, the young master is even more unusual to you, can't you see it? Everyone treats you as half a master! ”

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. These days, my identity in Huo Mansion is like a master, Uncle Chen dialed Rui'er to be a girl for me, and even sent guards to escort me when I went out, where is this like a maid's pomp?

Huo Qu's illness treats me really not like a girl, I have never had a shortage of food and clothing, and I have what Huo Qu's illness has.

But I always relied in my heart that I was more than ten years older than him, and when he was like a younger brother, I never thought about anything else.

No wonder the people in the house are so scolding me now, they thought that Huo Qubing would take me into the house? But I'm pretty sure that Huo Qubing didn't have a wife in history.

Pulling back my thoughts, I opened my eyes, put down the teacup, and said, "Silly girl, the young master treats me well, it's a love since I was a child, it's not what you think, don't talk nonsense in the future." ”

Rui'er pursed her lips and whispered: "Everyone else can see it, but you can't see it yourself, and you don't know if you're really stupid or fake!" ”

I pretended not to hear her and closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. Seeing that I was no longer talking, Rui'er was bored and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside, and did not speak again along the way.

Suddenly, Rui'er exclaimed, and when I opened my eyes, I saw an arrow shoot into the carriage and slash dangerously across her face. Thankfully, she avoided it quickly, but the arrow still left a thin streak of blood on her face.

"Ahh Rui'er was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, and I was about to reach out to help her, when suddenly the horse neighed, and the carriage braked suddenly, I couldn't control my balance, and I fell over, rolled on Rui'er's body, and collided with her. I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard's voice came from outside, "Don't panic, girl, there are robbers ahead, we will definitely protect the girl." Then there was a sound of fighting outside the carriage. I secretly thought that I was lucky! If it weren't for Uncle Chen's foresight and sending ten guards to escort me, I'm afraid I would have suffered a big loss today.

I helped Rui Er up and checked her injuries to make sure there was no major problem. Rui'er was frightened like a panicked white rabbit, hugging me and pulling at my sleeve. I comforted her and said, "It's fine. ”

Sure enough, as I expected, the guards of Huo Mansion were all first-class good hands personally selected by Huo Quzhi, even if he went out with him to conquer the Huns, let alone a few thieves. In a few moments, the guards came to report that they had driven out the robbers.

I lifted the curtain of the carriage and helped Rui'er out of the carriage together. One of the guards, armed with a knife, came up to me and said, "Girl, the robbers have been driven away, and we have saved the people in the carriage in front of us." ”

I looked up, dozens of paces ahead of us, a carriage was parked, several guards were standing aside, and the bodies of two men in black were lying on the ground.

There were a lot of robbers just now, and more than a dozen of them rushed out at once, seeing that they were outnumbered and about to be killed, fortunately, the guards of the Huo Mansion I brought arrived in time.

The guard of the carriage in front of me came over, saluted me, and said, "My wife, Xie Lu, sister-in-law, please come over and talk." ”

I looked at the carriage, the canopy was treasured, and the decoration was exquisite, and a carriage like this must be used by the magnates of Chang'an City. I glanced at Rui'er, and I walked up, and Rui'er followed me towards the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage in front of him was lifted to reveal the face of a beautiful woman, in her thirties, richly dressed, with a white face that was not panicked at this time, and her black hair hung down like a waterfall, gently pulling behind her back.

Rui'er was stunned when she saw the beautiful woman, and immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen Madame!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and Rui'er reached out and tugged at my sleeve, and I immediately reacted and saluted the lady.

The lady's beautiful eyes turned around my face, and her lips opened lightly: "Are you Lan'er?" ”

I replied softly, "Yes!" "Quickly calculate her origin in her heart, Rui'er calls her Mrs., and she knows Mu Lan again, could it be that she is Huo Quai's mother, the sister of the current queen, Wei Shao'er?

I heard her say again: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have become more and more beautiful." Do you also go to incense? ”

I replied, "Yes, ma'am." ”

Wei Shao'er said: "I met a thief today, fortunately I met you, how could I send so many guards to follow you when I was sick?" Come with me! ”

I glanced at Rui'er, she nodded to me, I had to get into Wei Shao'er's carriage, Rui'er turned around and got into Huofu's carriage, and followed Wei Shao'er.

The guard stepped forward and said, "Madam, the robbers ran away, leaving two dead here, and their subordinates don't look like people from the Central Plains, and their appearance is suspicious." ”

Wei Shao'er said lightly: "Give the corpse to Jing Zhaoyin to deal with!" ”

"No!"

Wei Shao'er brought four guards, and now with the addition of ten guards from Huo Mansion and two carriages, the group continued to march towards the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

I sat in Wei Shao'er's carriage, looking at my nose and my nose at my heart. In my heart, I was thinking about Wei Shao'er in history.

She was originally a slave of Princess Pingyang's mansion, and had an affair with Huo Zhongru, a small official in Pingyang County, and gave birth to Huo Quai. Her sister Wei Zifu is the singer of the princess's mansion, who was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to enter the palace, and was later named the queen, and the phoenix is in the world. The Wei family all entered the court as officials, and they were full of glory.

"How's it going?"

I hurriedly pulled back the thousand thoughts in my heart and said, "Young master, everything is fine!" ”

"I heard that you can speak, I didn't believe it, but now that I see you, I know that Lu Dao is actually the real thing." Wei Shao'er suddenly asked, "You have been around for some years, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"As long as you take care of the sick well, I will also help you talk in the future and let the sick admit you into the room. But you have to be faithful to me. ”

What's the situation? Why do they all say that Huo Quzhi is going to take me in, my sisters are also new women in the 21st century, from that distant year 2014, how can I not fight Huo Quai's idea of this eighteen-year-old little tooth!

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to show half a point on my face, so I only lowered my eyebrows and said, "No."

Wei Shao'er's beautiful eyes rolled around my face, as if to confirm my loyalty. She took off a string of agate bracelets from her hand, put it on my hand, and said, "Lan'er, you come back home with me in a while, I made a lot of glutinous rice cakes, and you can bring them back when you are sick." ”

I can't help but wonder in my heart, after Wei Shao'er got married, because Huo Qu'er was an illegitimate child, he didn't bring him into the Chen family together. Huo Quai's motherhood is equal to not having a mother, but fortunately, the Son of Heaven is very loving, and he has lived a unique life since he was a child. Now that Huo Qu's illness has won the first battle and won the title of champion Hou, does Wei Shao'er want to mend the relationship between mother and son?

I followed Wei Shao'er to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, made incense and made a wish together, and then escorted her back to Chen's house.

On the way back to Huo's house, I touched the agate bracelet given by Wei Shao'er on my hand and thought, Wei Shao'er wanted Huo Qu'er to join the Wei family's strength, and knew that I was Huo Qu's personal maid, so I would move my mind. But in my opinion, Huo Quzhi and the Wei family have the same roots.

In history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored Huo Qubing and Wei Qing a lot, and he built the tombs of these two people around his own imperial tombs, and still guarded the territory for him underground after his death. Huo Quzhi and Wei Qing are known as the imperial twin walls of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although the two are from the Wei family, they are different.

Wei Qing is a moderate and gentle person, strict in command, loving and kind to the soldiers, generous and polite to colleagues, and a very good minister without personal authority.

I remember that there is such a story in history, saying that after the Battle of Monan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave Wei Qing a thousand gold. Wei Qing has a subordinate named Ning Cheng, and suggested to Wei Qing that the reason why the general can be distinguished is because of Empress Wei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is now very fond of Mrs. Wang, she has just been favored so the family is not yet rich, and the general can give her all the gold given by the emperor to show her goodwill. Wei Qing took out 500 gold and sent it to Mrs. Wang's house for her birthday.

This story shows that Wei Qing is very good at being a person, and he is also the only one who was reused by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and had a good death.

Huo Qubing never made friends with his henchmen, he was young and flying, he often took him by surprise militarily, fought a quick blitzkrieg, and his personality was quite similar to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, although Huo Qubing is from the Wei family, because of his status as an illegitimate child, he does not have as many branches and leaves in the court as the Wei family.

"Lan'er, what did Madame tell you?" Rui'er was stunned and interrupted my thoughts.

"Madame asked me to take the glutinous rice cake back to the young master."

The injury on Rui'er's face is not a big problem, it is just a hole, but it will inevitably leave a scar in the future, I think of Rui'er who has treated me well these days, so I said: "I'll go back and ask the young master for a gold sore medicine to treat the wound on your face." ”

Rui'er gently wiped the scars on her face with a silk handkerchief, and said, "I was scared to death just now!" How can there be robbers on this official road? ”

I also kept thinking about it, and while the guards were cleaning up the bodies, one of them was killed by a sword shot in the chest, and his clothes were torn across his chest, and I could clearly see that he had a strange tattoo on his chest.

The origin of this group of people is unknown, why did they risk taking the risk of hijacking the carriage of the guards on the official road? I vaguely felt that this group of robbers was no ordinary bandit, and maybe there was something behind it.

After returning to Huofu, Rui'er reported to Uncle Chen about the encounter with the robbers, and Uncle Chen had palpitations and praised himself for his foresight and sent so many guards, not only to protect me, but also to save Mrs. Wei.

After Huo Quzhi learned about this, he went to Chen's Mansion to ask Wei Shao'er for peace in the evening, and when he came back, he frowned at me. I stuffed the motherly love glutinous rice cake given by Wei Shao'er into his mouth and said, "Why is the young master so happy today?" ”

Huo Quzhi stuffed the glutinous rice cake in his mouth, swallowed it in two bites, and a pair of black eyes turned around me, I looked at his thief and scolded with a smile: "It's not serious!" ”

"Mother praised you to me, saying that you were not in danger, that you commanded properly, and that you did not let the robbers hurt your mother."

"I am a soldier brought out by General Huo, so of course it is no problem to deal with a few robbers!"

Huo Quzhi listened to me praise him, and couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, and said, "General Ben will also reward you with a glutinous rice cake!" He picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and stuffed it into my mouth.

The two were laughing, the girl Xiaocui came in with tea, saw the appearance of the two of us, her eyes widened, her face was full of red glow, put down the tea and trotted out.

"It's over! This little girl must have gone out to gossip with others! "I screamed in my heart that it was not good.

Huo Quzhi didn't care at all, and picked up the tea and drank it.

I suddenly remembered something, and Zhengse said: "Young master, that gang of robbers doesn't look like ordinary people, the guards in the palace all say that their posture and martial arts are quite weird, not like people from the Central Plains." I also saw a strange tattoo on the body of a robber. ”

"What kind of tattoo is it?" Huo Quai's illness came to interest.

I walked to the desk, picked up the brush, drew the strange tattoo according to the memory of the silk handkerchief in my hand, and handed it to Huo Quzhi after drawing.

Huo Quzhi took the silk handkerchief and looked at it carefully, "When I was sixteen years old, I went to the Western Regions with my uncle once, and I caught someone as a guide near Loulan Kingdom. The man was so fierce that he wounded several of us, and when I subdued him, I saw this mark in his heart. ”

"It's from Loulan?" I asked. Historically, the geographical location of the ancient Loulan Kingdom was dangerous, in the middle of the Xiongnu and Han dynasties. In order not to offend both sides, Loulan sent the prince to the Xiongnu and Han dynasties as hostages. Later, due to the decline of the royal family and the erosion of the desert, the ancient Loulan Kingdom disappeared in the long river of history.

"It's not from Loulan, he claims to be from Yuexi."

"Yue Xi? How come this country has never been mentioned? ”

Huo Quzhi knocked my head and said, "How old a girl you are, how could you have heard of it!" I also learned about it from ancient books. ”

"A thousand years ago, there was a country in the Western Regions that was hegemonic for a while, called Yuexi Kingdom. At that time, he conquered almost all the countries in the Western Regions. But then, I don't know what happened, and a major disaster occurred. The entire country of Viet Sei was razed to the ground, and the country ceased to exist. But the ancient book is very old, the language is unknown, and nothing is said about what happened. ”

The Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions, and I carefully recalled the size of the countries in the Western Regions, and I remember that the famous ones were Loulan, Qiuzi, Yueshi, Jingjue, etc., and I did not mention that there was a country called Yuexi.

If this country dominates the Western Regions, it will leave some relics behind, why didn't I mention it in my time? Maybe this country has disappeared as Huo Quzhi said, so no one knows about my time.

"Then the robbers we meet today are the descendants of the Yue Xi Kingdom? Why did they come all the way to Chang'an? ”

"I don't know. And it is indeed very strange to intercept my mother's carriage on the official road. Huo Qu said sickly.

I don't know how to think about it, so I simply lost it and didn't think about it anymore.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ hussar general smiled and passed on the fifth word that Zhang Qian was arrested by the Huns when he went to the Western Regions, and only returned to Chang'an after thirteen years.

Liu Che was a little tempted by what he said, Zhang Qian saw that Liu Che was shaken, and hurriedly added fire, "Your Majesty, there is a kind of sweat and blood BMW in the Western Regions, let's drive away the Huns, so that we can go to the Western Regions to bring this sweat and blood BMW back to you!" ”

As soon as Liu Che heard that BMW could match his identity, he asked Wei Qing's opinion. Wei Qing said: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, right?" ”

Zhang Qian knew that Wei Qing was a foodie, so he took out a piece of cut cake and handed it to Wei Qing, "General, this is a cut cake from the Western Regions, and only the rich and handsome can afford it." When the Huns are defeated, you can eat as much as you want! ”

Huo Quzhi on the side said: "It's good to have a little geographical knowledge." The Western Regions are in the west, and the Xiongnu are in the north. Grab things from the Western Regions for Mao to fight the Huns? ”

Liu Che said: "You don't have to worry about these details in Mary Sue novels! ”

Zhang Qian had already prepared and took it out
