Huo Jiu didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but slowly lowered the curtain, and after covering the golden palace and the gauze curtain outside the window, it seemed that he could hide his complicated feelings together. In a trance, he thought of the first emperor, the scene when he saw the little emperor for the first time, the nervousness of the Great Yan Dynasty when the emperor died, his promise, and the children who went to the palace that day and saw the children in the palace wearing open bed clothes and living in a cold bed hall without burning charcoal.

Nine-year-old children, trained by the emperor, although they are not precocious, they are also more sensible than ordinary children of the same age. is obviously full of fear, but he still puts on a majestic posture as an emperor, and carefully curries favor and closes to him......

Although he stubbornly called him "Big Brother Ying". But in his heart, he treated him as if he were his own child.

Sure enough, there are ruthless children in this world, but there are no ruthless fathers and mothers?

"Let's go to Yi County first. If my father and mother are gone, what will I talk about in the future? Huo Jiu closed his eyes and said, "Go back to the house first and bring the people with you, and you can also get in the car and rest for a while." ”

Cao Yu sighed and did as he was told.

Originally, the journey was only one day, and Huo Nineteen was in a hurry, and the group came to Yi County in the evening.

Along the way, Huo Shijiu had already replenished his sleep, and at this time, he was also a lot more energetic, and he was even calmer, and before entering the city, he took people to the broken temple with Cao Yu.

The sun is setting in the west, the warm sunlight is obliquely shining into the temple, and the figures of the two little beggars squatting in the corner and roasting steamed buns over a bonfire are slightly desolate.

Hearing that someone had come in, the little beggar exclaimed in fright, "Ahhhhh

Cao Yu immediately flew forward to stop the two. Said: "What are you panicking about? Can't you see if you eat it? ”

"Uncle. Uncle. We really don't know anything, please spare your life! ”

As soon as their knees weakened, they both knelt down, and they even kowtowed, and they didn't care about eating a mouthful of dust while breathing. When their foreheads touched the ground, the two of them saw a pair of soap boots and cyan robes in front of them. The inside of the robe was brocade embroidered with bamboo leaves, and the outside was a layer of yarn mixed with silver thread, which at first glance was worn by nobles.

The two of them didn't dare to look up anymore.

Followed by. They heard a cold, gentle voice: "You don't need to panic, answer me a few questions." ”

"Yes, uncle."

"Listen to what you just said, someone came to ask you about it before?"

"Yes...... Uncle, we don't dare to lie, there are indeed two groups of people who have come to ask, saying what they heard and saw the night before. ”

"Two groups of people? What are they all like? ”

"All, it's all like this, well-dressed nobles."

"And what did you hear and see?"

The little beggar looked at each other. Then he said the very slippery truth again: "It was raining that day, and we had some food." Before they entered the city, who knew that a large number of beggars came, and there were more than a dozen or twenty people, saying that they wanted to rest in this place. Tell us both to get away. The two of us could not be beaten, and we were afraid of being beaten, so we had to leave, and while the city gate was not closed, we went into the city. As a result, when I came back early the next morning, I found that the large group of beggars had left, and then I heard that a lot of dead people had been dug up in the forest, and the government had intervened, so it was not easy for us to see it, but I heard that they were all beggars......"

Huo Jiu nodded after hearing this, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it to them, and said, "Go buy food." Turning outside, Cao Yu immediately led someone to follow.

The two little beggars trembled and picked up the silver ingots, and they only said that they had met the immortals, and they were busy kowtowing when they saw the green shirt walking away.

Cao Yu asked in a low voice, "Master, go to the forest to have a look?" ”

Huo Jiu bowed his head silently, walked towards the forest, and said as he walked: "You see that in the broken temple just now, the ground is very clean. ”

Cao Yu recalled and nodded.

"Not only was the ground clean, but there were three bonfires, and the ashes were still there."

"yes. Master, what do you see? ”

Huo Nineteen said, "According to the two people, the large group of beggars who came before to drive them away, Bacheng are assassins, since those assassins want to do things, they are just waiting in the broken temple for the time being, maybe they still want to lure people to the bait, then they will definitely not be able to clean up." ”

"That's it."

"Also, it's raining these days. The outside is wet, but the ground in the broken temple is clean, and even the dust on the broken offering table is very small, only the temple door goes to the place where the two beggars burn the fire, there are footprints back and forth, and then there are some intricate footprints in the hall where we just stand. Speaking of this, Huo Shijiu looked at Cao Yu with shining eyes: "Mo Dye, you say, who is likely to be idle and bored and clean up the broken temple?" If the beggars are happy, they will not step on the footprints, and they should be clean everywhere. ”

"Master, do you mean ......" Cao Yu said excitedly: "Maybe it's the old lady and the lady, the family once settled in the temple?" After all, there are female children in the family, even if they are temporarily settled, they must be clean before they can live. ”

"Yes." Huo Shijiu took a deep breath, felt a hundred times more energetic, and said, "It is enough to prove that after the incident, they have been placed here." Since it is settled, at least there is no need to worry about life. ”

"yes!" Cao Yu slapped his face, and when he reached the woods while speaking, he was just about to go in, but Cao Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and whispered: "Who?" At the same time, he protected Huo Nineteen behind him with his horizontal arm.

From behind a stout poplar tree a few steps away, a burly middle-aged man wearing an indigo muslin coat came out and bowed his hand to Huo Jiuyi: "Marquis Jinning, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"It's you?!" Although Huo Jiujiu didn't know what his name was, he knew that he was a henchman who followed Wenda Jiahui!

"The villain Namu has seen the Marquis of Jinning. The villain has been waiting for Jinninghou for two days. ”

Huo Shijiu took two steps forward and said anxiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Now your family and Mrs. Zun are settled in Maocheng with our master. Before leaving, the master originally discussed with his wife that he would go to Kyoto to report a message to you, but the lady said that it was better not to take risks if the matter was revealed and the incident would happen again, and said that you would definitely come in person, so she left the villain here to wait for you. ”

"You say...... Are you okay? Are your parents and relatives safe? Joy suddenly fell on his head, and Huo Jiu's excited voice trembled.

Namu said proudly: "With the master and the secret guard, why be afraid of a few assassins? However, your men are also men, and they all fought until the last minute to delay the Assassins. It can be seen that you are also a good master, otherwise they would not be so loyal to you. ”

Huo Shijiu didn't have the heart to listen to these words or flattery at this time, he was only eager to see his family, so he discussed with Namu and immediately set off for Maocheng.

Namu is also a hearty person, so he immediately agreed, mixed in Huo Nineteen's team, and changed into a small dress. The group hurried to the starry and moonlit journey, and spent a day and a half detouring to the front of a house in the east of Maocheng City.

When he got off the train, Huo Jiu's feet were numb because of sitting for a long time, as if a small insect was mercilessly gnawing, and he helped the bus stop for a while.

Jiang Yu and Huo Xianyi, who got the news, came out first, and saw Huo Shijiu, who was dressed in cuffed blue clothes and loose hair, but was still as handsome as ever, and they all had the happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

"Big brother."

"A-Ying!"

As soon as Huo Jie stood in front of the door, Jiang Yu rushed to him in the blink of an eye, hugged Huo Nineteen, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her cheeks touched his chest: "A-Ying, you are so slow!" ”

Huo Jiujiu took a small step by her pounce, hugged her tightly with both hands without hesitation, touched her lips on her smooth forehead, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, it's okay." He pushed her away and looked her up and down: "How are you?" Are you okay? How is Daddy? ”

"Thanks to Da Ying, the whole family is fine, my father was only injured a little bit, and he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but he just knocked a few places." Jiang Wei smiled: "You didn't come with a tail with you, did you?" ”

Cao Yu had already looked at Jiang Yu from the side for a long time, and said with a timely smile at this time: "Madam, don't worry, I have checked, and no one is following." ”

"Then come in, let's talk slowly."

Jiang Yu pulled Huo Shijiu into the courtyard gate.

Because Huo Nineteen brought too many people, this courtyard could not live in at all, Cao Yu was worried that Huo Nineteen would have something, so he chose a few people to stay, and the rest went to live in an inn across the street, and listened to orders at any time.

In the courtyard, Huo Chuliu had already taken Huo Nineteen's arm and said happily: "What my sister-in-law said is really right, she said that you would come, and you really came." ”

Jiang Jiao's face was also red and she shouted: "Third brother-in-law." ”

Seeing that the family was fine, along with Qiao's mother and Bingsong and others who came with him, Huo Shijiu's heart that had been hanging for a few days finally let go. Together with Jiang Yu, Huo Twenty-one, and Huo Chuliu, they went up to the main house and went to the main house.

In the house, Huo Dazhuan was talking to Wen Dajiahui outside, and Zhao's, Tang's, Jiang Yan and the nurse were all in the inner room holding six catties.

As soon as he saw Huo Nineteen enter the door, Huo Dazhuan smiled: "Stinky boy, you're here!" ”

"Daddy!" Huo Nineteen knelt on his knees, walked a few steps on his knees and said: "My son is not filial, and my father and mother have suffered." ”

Zhao and the others had already lifted the curtain and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "The flesh and blood of the family, what do you say?" This time, it's thanks to this Da Gongzi. A-Ying, you have to thank the others. ”

"Yes."

Huo Shijiu stood up and looked at Wen Da Jiahui, who was dressed in a royal blue robe, handsome and majestic.

"Da Gongzi, long time no see."

"yes, I can't think of goodbye, it's still like this." Wen Da Jiahui's tone was quite sarcastic, "Have you forgotten what you said last time?" Or is it too difficult for you to live a quiet life? ”

Seeing that Huo Shijiu didn't wait to thank him, Da Ying's harsh words had already been spoken, and Huo Dazhuan and Zhao both felt surprised and embarrassed.

Huo Jiu said seriously: "What you said is that it is indeed my lack of thought that led to today's trouble." You saved my family one more time, and I will repay you for it. ”

"No, I'm not because of you. I'm looking at Jiang Yan. (To be continued......)
