Huo Qubing won a great victory on his first expedition. He accompanied Wei Qing to fight against the Xiongnu, led the 800 Yulin army into Monan, and captured 2,028 enemies, including the Xiongnu Xiangguo and the officials of the household, and also killed Shan Yu's grandfather Ruohou, and captured Shan Yu's uncle Luo Gubi.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty bravely crowned the whole army with Huo Quai, and was awarded the title of champion Hou with 1,600 households.

At the age of seventeen, he was made a marquis, and Huo Qubing reached a height that ordinary generals could hardly reach in their lifetime. But I know that his future glory will be far greater than that.

After returning to Huofu, Rui'er hugged me and cried until her eyes were red and swollen, and she blamed herself for taking me out of the mansion and causing me to get lost.

Except for Huo Quai, I didn't tell the second person about the song and dance troupe. only said that he was lost, was taken in, and met Huo Quai's illness on the street. Although this statement is full of loopholes, Huo Quai's illness is silent, and others have to believe it.

On this day, Huo Qu was sick and had a rare dinner in the house, and since he came back from the great victory, he asked his posts to be sent into the house one by one. At first, he also went to various banquets with great interest, but after a long time, he was a little tired, and would rather go home early after the next court.

During the day, in addition to going to the court, he led the troops to practice, and he only went to participate in a banquet that he couldn't shirk, but there were too many people who invited him. It's no wonder that he was made a marquis at a young age, relying on his own outstanding military exploits, fighting with a knife and a gun. The person who used to say that he relied on nepotism was also dumbfounded for a while.

The girls brought snacks and wine, which Huo Quzhi loved to eat on weekdays. He is quite picky about eating, and the cook in the house used to work in the famous plum blossom house in Chang'an City. Huo Qu was sick twice and thought it was delicious, so he directly brought the cook back with a lot of money.

The dim sum on the table is steaming, carved with all kinds of delicate and cute little flowers, and each small plate contains five dim sum, each of which is decorated with a different color, indicating that the filling inside is also different.

I personally prepared vegetables for Huo Quai's illness and put three or four small dishes in front of him. Huo Quzhi looked down, shook his head and said, "I don't eat carrot filling, you forgot." ”

"Of course I remember," I have already figured out his eating habits in the past few months, "don't you see the locust filigree dotted on it?" The carrot filling was replaced with acacia flower filling, and honey was mixed in it. ”

Huo Quzhi pinched one with his fingers and broke it open from the middle, it was really a locust flower filling, mixed with the sweetness of honey, Huo Quzhi tried to put a little import, his eyes lit up, "It tastes better than before, what did you put in it?" ”

I glanced at Huo Quzhi and said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that the acacia flowers in the house bloomed brightly two months ago, and I collected many petals." Crush the petals with Rui'er, marinate them in winter honey and sugar water, put them in jars, and then put them on top of the ice cubes stored in the cellar. When the dish was cooked, it was taken out. ”

Huo Quzhi tasted a piece, but it seemed to be aroused by his appetite, the snacks on the plate were only the size of his thumb, and after seeing whether he ate them or not, he ate all five of them into his stomach in one go, and looked at the other snacks with great interest.

"Only this one plate is filled with acacia flowers, and these dishes are not. If you like it, you should ask the cook to do more. "I continued to cook for him.

"Lan'er, when did you become so smart, and you didn't have a way to cook with flower petals before." After Huo Quzhi finished dinner, he suddenly said to me.

"I don't know how to do it, but I will."

In fact, when I met Mochizuki on that day, I have always kept in mind the proverbs he told me. For a long time, I have been thinking about whether to tell Huo Qubing about my origin and the history I know, but Mochizuki's words are vivid, "You can't change history." ”

Finally, I didn't say anything to Huo Quai. But if I can stay with him until he is twenty-four, I must tell him that year.

Huo Quzhi looked at me and said, "Do you know that Lu Dao Ruo is really a beauty?" ”

"Really? With her appearance and talent, it shouldn't be a grievance. ”

"In the past, my aunt also entered the palace from the princess's mansion, and now she has sent in another Ruozhen. Princess Pingyang is really a good plan! ”

"Lan'er," Huo Quzhi called my name, I looked up at him, and he said word by word, "I hope that Ruozhen's entry into the palace has nothing to do with you." ”

I thought about it carefully, if I really entered the palace, I was calculated by Princess Pingyang and Li Guangli, and I couldn't take refuge, but was used by others. Thinking that Princess Pingyang must have held her firmly in her hands, she would obediently serve the emperor. And it really has nothing to do with me.

I shook my head and said solemnly, "It has nothing to do with me, I am not involved." ”

Huo Quzhi looked at me for a while, and I felt guilty in my heart, and I looked back at him without hiding. Finally, he said softly, "You know that I don't treat you like a subordinate, but I'm afraid that you are young and ignorant, and you will be involved in the struggle of the palace by accident." Do you understand? ”

My heart softened, and I bowed my head and said, "I understand." ”

Huo Quzhi said, "Now many people in the court say that I was born in the Wei family, so I can lead the army to the army at a young age. Now that I have been crowned the champion again, more people look down on me. I don't think so, my ability to go out on the expedition is indeed stained with the light of the Wei family, but as long as I can go out to fight against the Huns, these rumors are nothing! ”

I stared at him blankly, Huo Quai's arrogance was full of pride, and his momentum far exceeded that of an eighteen-year-old boy.

"My ideal is to drive the Xiongnu out of my Han people, so that they can never harass my Han people!"

Yes, your dreams have come true! I shouted in my heart, I know that all your dreams will come true as you say. Riding horses, killing the Huns, and driving Huma out of my country, you did it.

But I can only hide these words in my heart, at this moment, Huo Quai's spirit is flying, and his body seems to emit a faint light, this star will come to the world, and there will be no Huns in the desert from now on!

"By the way, do you want to learn to ride a horse?" Huo Quzhi asked me suddenly.

"Horseback riding? I want to learn! I nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll go to the barracks, you follow me, I'll teach you."

The night was as cold as water, I picked up a cloak and put it on, got up gently, Huo Qubing had already slept in the back room. Although the inner room was connected to the outer room, there was still some distance, but I was afraid of disturbing him, so I went out of the house lightly.

Walking out of the house, I looked up at the night sky. The sky was starry, a Milky Way hung diagonally in the sky, the moon gave off a soft glow, and there was not a single cloud in the sky. I took a deep breath, and it was rare to see such an unpolluted starry sky in the twenty-first century.

I don't know how I came to this world, at first I thought it was just a dream, and when I woke up, everything would return to normal, I am still Guo Muhong, who is over 30 years old, still living in 2014, still living my life alone.

But day after day, month after month, I have been here for months, and this dream still shows no signs of waking up, how can I return to my time?

I sighed softly. Huo Qu's illness treats me well, as far as a maid in Huo Mansion is concerned, he treats me like a friend and a relative. The people of Huo Mansion liked him and feared him. Because he is Huo Quai, he is the most dazzling star of this era.

I walked to the edge of the yard, where there was a large copper water tank, which I used to get water for washing clothes and vegetables on weekdays, and also to prevent urgent use of water when walking. I stared blankly at my reflection in the water tank, a childish face with a baby's fat face. The appearance is not outstanding, but there is a special calmness in the face.

Maybe it's because I'm actually in my thirties, so I often show a temperament that doesn't match that of fifteen or sixteen. I frowned slightly, and used my hand to stir up the reflection in the water. Mochizuki's words rang in my ears again, "The Tao always does nothing but does nothing", "Don't change what has happened".

I couldn't help but clench my hands until my fingers turned white. No matter how long I stay here, no matter what happens, I can't let Huo Qu die at the age of twenty-four. Definitely, no!

The next day, Huo Quzhi took me out as agreed. Because he said he was going to the barracks, I dug out a set of his old robes early and put them on. He couldn't wear it as he got older, but I wore it just right.

I comb my hair in the mirror, and these days I serve Huo Qu's sick life, including combing his hair and wearing a hair crown, so it is easy to comb it myself.

"What a handsome boy!" Huo Quzhi appeared behind me unexpectedly with a horsewhip. He was wearing a black robe today, with gold threads embroidered on the cuffs, and he still had a faint smile on his face. Huo Quzhi is actually not a person who likes to laugh, but I can often see his smile in front of me.

"General Huo!" I deliberately lowered my throat, spoke in a rough voice, stood up and bowed to him like a man.

"Well, like my soldier. Come with General Ben! Huo Quzhi strode out of the door. I hurried to follow, holding my head high along the way, and learned his appearance to the fullest.

In the courtyard, I met Rui'er and a few girls who were holding the melons and fruits they had just picked and were about to wash, and when they saw Huo Quai, they hurriedly saluted him, and they were stunned when they saw me. I made a quick grimace at Rui'er, and followed Huo Qu's illness out of Huo's mansion.

The groom had already led his mount and waited, and Huo Qubing took the reins and turned over on his horse. I looked left and right and saw that there was no horse for me, Huo Quzhi smiled, stretched out his hand and dragged me to sit behind him.

"Go to the barracks first, and choose a good horse for you in a while, thank you for taking the trouble to make me the acacia flower stuffing."

I sat behind him, and before I could sit down, he took his feet and the horse galloped out. I was defenseless and fell on his back at once, and I was immediately embarrassed. Think about how old you are, not as good as a child.

In my time, horses had long since been replaced by cars and other means of transportation, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with not being able to ride horses. But in ancient times, horses were a necessary means of transportation.

At this time, he was next to Huo Qu's sick leg, his back was against his back, and his posture was not to mention ambiguous. I remember the first time I sat on the back of a guy's bike, and that's probably how it feels now. Wait, could this be the feeling of first love that has disappeared for many years?

What am I thinking? It is really inappropriate to imagine Huo Quzhi's young tooth as his first love. I subconsciously straightened my back, propped up my arms to distance myself from him, and gently tugged at his shirt with my hands.

Huo Quzhi smiled, "If you pull it again, my clothes will be torn off by you before the barracks!" ”

When I heard this, I quickly let go, and he whipped and led the horse at such speed that I could not control my balance and fell on his back. But in exchange for his hearty smile.

"You did it on purpose!" I gritted my teeth with hatred, a broken child, a young man who didn't learn well, and played tricks on me all day long. I straightened up again, and had no choice but to gently hold his waist with my hand.

Huo Quzhi pushed my hand forward, "That's right, otherwise you won't be able to sit still and will fall." ”

Fortunately, the folk customs of Chang'an City are open, unlike the degradation of Chinese folk customs after the Song Dynasty. Women became appendages to men and had no status. Huo Quzhi is even more proud of his youth, and he has always been informal.

Since he is upright, I can't be too pedantic, I rely on my actual age to be more than ten years older than him, and I am calm. Gently wrapping his arms around his waist, he galloped away with the horses towards the Yulin army camp outside the city.

When he arrived at the camp, a soldier immediately came to lead the horse to Huo Quai. Huo Qu turned over and dismounted, and threw the reins to the soldiers. I clumsily climbed down almost on horseback.

Huo Quzhi looked at my clumsy dismounting posture, and laughed again until he bent down. Even the little soldier holding the reins next to him couldn't stand it, but he was taken by Huo Quai's authority, so he only dared to lower his head and hold back his laughter.

I dismounted, forced myself to compose, brushed my windblown hair, ignored Huo Quai's unbridled laughter, strode forward, and made a bitter face when I walked in front of him and turned my back to him.
