Chapter 8 The Huo Family in Pingyang

Nineteen-year-old Huo Qubing was appointed as a hussar general and led 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight against the Xiongnu alone. Huo Qubing kept the agreement and asked me to pretend to be his entourage and follow his army on the expedition.

When the army was approaching Hedong County, Huo Quzhi's expression became solemn. I saw that his expression was abnormal, and I asked softly, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Huo Quzhi said: "My father lives in Hedong County. ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect that this expedition would pass through Hedong County, could it be that this is the will of heaven to let Huo Quai's father and son meet? I rode to his side and whispered, "Then do you want to meet Huo Gong?" ”

Huo Qubing was silent, and at this moment, the soldiers in front came to report, and the Taishou of Hedong County came to greet the hussar general.

I looked forward and saw a team of horses riding in front of me, led by a man with a high crown and tied hair, dressed in a military uniform.

When he got closer, I saw that he had a bow and arrows on his back. I chuckled in my heart, this Taishou is quite good at slapping horses, and he actually came to meet him on horseback with a bow, looking like he was about to go to the battlefield.

When the Hedong Taishou arrived in front of Huo Qu's sick horse, he immediately dismounted and bowed, saying: "Xiaguan Hedong County Taishou greets the hussar general!" ”

Huo Qubing did not dismount, nor did he greet him, he directly pulled out the horse's head and bypassed him, and walked towards the city of Hedong County, and Hedong Taishou hurriedly led the horse for him.

In front of the mansion of the Hedong Taishou, Huo Qu was sick and stationed on the horse, and said to the Hedong Taishou: "The prince of the house does not have to be so polite, I am in the army, and I dare not stay longer, just go to the Hedong County Mission." As he spoke, he continued to urge the horse forward.

Hedong Taishou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Huo Qu's patient horse to Hedong Chuan She. Huo Qu got off the horse when he fell ill, and the gate of the house was already crowded with people, all to see the young hussar general. Hedong Taishou and the officials of Hedong County lined up outside the house to greet Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi suddenly stopped, I saw his calm face, and knew that at this moment, he must be at war between heaven and man in his heart.

"Do you want to go to Longxi first, don't go in?" Huo Quzhi said softly to me.

I saw a large crowd around me, approached him and whispered, "Sooner or later, I want to see each other, why bother?" See one side and then go out of Longxi, that is! ”

"Hussar General, please come inside!" Hedong Taishou arched his hand and welcomed Huo Qubing into the house.

I walked up to Hedong Taishou and said, "Please go and invite Huo Zhongru Huo Gong." ”

Hedong Taishou gave me a knowing look, and immediately turned his head and ordered his subordinates to invite Huo Zhongru.

Huo Quzhi sat in the front of the main hall, looking absent-minded, and he didn't know what he was thinking. I stood beside him, hoping to calm his uneasy emotions a little.

After a while, a word came in from outside, "Pingyang Chuanshe Huo Zhongru is outside asking to see the champion Hou Hussar General!" ”

I looked at Huo Quai, at this time he unconsciously bit his lower lip, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, sliding to his sideburns, and he was at a loss. I sighed in my heart and said loudly, "Pass! ”

A middle-aged man in a brown official uniform walked in with his head bowed. The man did not dare to raise his head, so he knelt down under the hall and kowtowed deeply.

"Xiaguan Huo Zhongru see the hussar general."

Huo Quzhi seemed to have been pricked by something, and stood up suddenly, but he still didn't speak.

"Xiaguan Huo Zhongru see the hussar general!" Huo Zhongru saw him again, his shoulders were shaking, and his whole body was shaking. And Huo Quzhi was still standing stunned, still unable to say a word.

Looking at the trembling figure and Huo Qu's sickly appearance, I sighed softly, looked at the Hedong Taishou and the others next to me and said, "Please go down first!" ”

Hedong Taishou saw that this formation was also a little inexplicable, and he hurriedly retired the officials and county officials, and he also bowed down and retreated.

There was a dead silence in the herald.

I looked at Huo Zhongru who was kneeling on the ground, his skin was surprisingly fair, his temples were already white, his forehead and the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and his expression showed a little elegance.

Huo Quzhi looked straight at Huo Zhongru who was kneeling on the ground, and made a decision instantly. He adjusted his hasty breathing, walked down the hall with weak legs, lifted his armor and knelt in front of Huo Zhongru, and bowed his head.

Huo Zhongru raised his head tremblingly, and the young general kneeling in front of him, this sturdy and heroic young man turned out to be his son. For the sake of his own future, he lost the son left behind by Wei Shao'er. This is the first time they have met, and they didn't expect to see each other one day in this life.

"I didn't know that I was the son of an adult." Huo Quzhi said.

Huo Zhongru was ashamed and didn't dare to respond, prostrate his head and kowtow and said: "The lower official has to trust the general, it is the power of heaven." Go... Go sickβ€”" His voice was so small that it could be blown away by the wind.

Huo Qu's sick body shook violently, slowly raised his head, and looked at him in a daze. The strange and indescribable familiar face made his already nervous mind a little trance, this was his father, he had only met his father for the first time in nineteen years.

Huo Quzhi helped Huo Zhongru up and said, "How is your health now?" ”

"It's all good, it's all good!" Huo Zhongru paused, "Go sick, do you want to go to the house to see?" ”

Huo Quzhi was stunned, he didn't expect Huo Zhongru to invite him to his home, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

I stepped forward, saluted Huo Zhongru, and said, "If I have seen Huo Gong, the general will go with Huo Gong." ”

Huo Quzhi looked at me, I nodded to him, and he agreed: "Then let's go!" ”

Huo Zhongru showed a happy look on his face, and took Huo Quzhi's hand and walked towards the outside of the house. I followed, following the two of them.

When I arrived at Huo's house, the family was already beaming to welcome Huo Quai, and all the villagers came. A boy about ten years old walked out of the crowd, walked up to Huo Quzhi and saluted: "Huo Guang has seen the hussar general!" ”

Huo Qu was puzzled and looked at Huo Zhongru. Huo Zhongru touched the boy's head, smiled and said to Huo Quzhi with relief: "This is your younger brother, Huo Guang." ”

I said in my heart, it turns out that this boy is the son born to Huo Zhongru after abandoning Wei Shao'er and returning to his hometown to marry her, and Huo Quzhi is a half-brother. Huo Guang is a famous virtuous minister in history, and has assisted three generations of kings, namely Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Although Huo Guang is young, he has polite manners, proper language, and beautiful eyebrows, which is quite like a miniature version of Huo Qu's disease. At this time, when he saw the majestic hussar general Huo Quai, he was neither humble nor arrogant, very much like his brother's demeanor.

Huo Quzhi nodded, and Huo Guang followed the two into the house. The villagers still wanted to come in, but I blocked the door and said, "Folks, please go back, please let the hussar general talk to Huo Gong." ”

Everyone was a little unhappy, but when they saw that I was dressed in military uniform, they didn't dare to say much, and they all talked about it and dispersed.

Entering the main hall, Huo Zhongru invited Huo Quzhi to sit on the first seat. I looked around, the Huo family was very simple, and there was no one to serve them.

Huo Quzhi saw such a scene, groaned slightly, called his lieutenant, and said, "You take my money to buy some farm house slaves and maids for the adults." The lieutenant took the order and left.

Huo Zhongru waved his hand again and again: "This can't be helped." ”

Huo Quzhi said: "I have never been filial in front of adults, and now there is only this to do." ”

Huo Zhongru's eyes flashed with tears, pulled Huo Guang, stood up and walked to Huo Quzhi, and said, "If the general has a heart, please take this child to Chang'an!" I only hope that in the future he will become a general. ”

Huo Guang blinked at Huo Quzhi with big dark eyes, and his face showed a look of great expectation.

Huo Quzhi nodded and said: "I am entangled in military affairs now, I can't stay longer, and when I return triumphantly, I will come to pick up Brother Guang." ”

"Thank you so much, General!" Huo Zhongru pulled Huo Guang and was about to bow down to Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi hurriedly helped the two of them up.

I shook my head secretly, no wonder Huo Zhongru can only be a small official in his life, and he has repeatedly knelt down for his son, isn't this the life of Huo Qu's illness!

He has never fulfilled his responsibility as a father to Huo Qubing for a day, but now Huo Qubing not only bought him a slave and maid in the field, but also promised to take Huo Guang to Chang'an. Blood is thicker than water, but that's it!

After meeting with Huo Zhongru, Huo Quai's army left Hedong County, went west out of Longxi, and pointed at the Huns.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… hussar general smiled and passed on the eighth word that the Xiongnu Shan Yuyi heard that Huo Qubing had come to fight the Hexi Corridor, so he asked his subordinate Zhao Xin about the origin of Huo Quai's illness.

Zhao Xin shuddered when he heard the words "Huo Quzhi", "Boss, this Huo Quzhi is simply a neurosis!" When they saw us, the Huns shouted, "Annihilation, annihilation!" "We are not the four evils, destroy his sister. The most terrifying thing is that his combat value is as high as 10,000, and he is shameless! Now women don't say that the wolf is coming, but that Huo Qu is sick! ”

Yi Ru said: "He opened a plug-in, didn't GM seal him?" ”

Zhao Xindao: "He is the son of Liu Che's wife's sister!" The GM didn't dare to seal his account. Boss Huo is sick and leading the troops this time, what should we do? ”

Yi Ru didn't make a move, but he didn't want to appear to have no idea in front of his subordinates, so he groaned a little and said: "When you see the Huo Zi banner in the future, you will first find a place to hide and find out the situation." ”

Zhao Xin was speechless, this can be regarded as a plan to retreat?
