Since the first battle of Mobei, Liu Che conveyed the obvious meaning of respecting Huo and suppressing the guard, and in the Han Dynasty, many of Wei Qing's subordinates were forced by reality to switch to Huo Qu's sick department. For a while, there were rumors in the court, but Wei Qing was as usual, except for the routine five-day day, he was in the army on weekdays to deal with military affairs, and he rarely rested even on his days off.

On this day, the courtiers dispersed, and when they got off the jade ladder, Huo went straight to Wei Qing and said with a grin: "Uncle, according to your instructions, I have returned the agate cup to the treasury." ”

"Okay." Wei Qing smiled faintly, and kept walking under his feet.

Huo Quzhi followed the pace and said with a smile: "Uncle, I haven't seen my wife for a long time, I'll go over with you to see him." ”

Wei Qing sighed softly, frowned and said, "My son is not good at studying, and he is being disciplined by his master these days, so let's go another day." ”

"Oh..."Huo Quzhi agreed, and said: "It's been a long time since I've been sick and I haven't studied martial arts with my uncle, it's just right..." ”

Huo Quzhi responded in a low voice, and said slowly: "Uncle, are you angry with the disease?" ”

Wei Qing was surprised: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Huo Quzhi said calmly: "Nowadays, many uncles in the old army have switched to our camp in order to seek the title of marquis, and they are helpless to do anything about it. Moreover, if there is no idea of meritorious service on the battlefield, how can there be a victorious army? Therefore, I asked my uncle for forgiveness when I went to the sick, and this matter was definitely beyond my control. ”

After hearing Huo Qu's heartfelt words, Wei Qing just smiled faintly and said: "You are too worried about going to the disease, my uncle has never complained to you about this matter, and my uncle is also from the army, how can he not understand the hardships?" It's just that the affairs in the army are complicated, and my uncle is a little too busy, so after a while, I will have a gap, and then I can learn from you? ”

Hearing Wei Qing say this, Huo Qu showed a little joy when he was sick, and said with relief: "Uncle is in charge of military affairs, and he can't be disturbed when he is sick, but my uncle should also pay attention to his body, as well as his wife, I will go to see him again in a while." ”

"Okay." Wei Qing bowed slightly, looking at Huo Quzhi's bright eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart.

----

Since then, Wei Qing has gradually distanced himself from Huo Quzhi in both public and private affairs, although Huo Quzhi feels uncomfortable, but there is nothing he can do, he has to hope that time can slowly make up for the gap between his nephew and uncle, and return to the years of mutual intimacy.

Time passed day by day, the autumn wind rose, and the annual autumn hunt began again.

----

In the enclosure of Ganquan Palace, the military generals of Wenchen were all eager to try, and those who were ready to show their skills in the hunt had already been prepared, waiting for the emperor's order. Liu Che was dressed in a cloud dragon pattern robe, full of energy, sat in the center with a smile, and said to everyone: "As in previous years, everyone has a mark on their arrows, and within two hours, the one who shoots the most will be given ten jars of imperial wine, five hundred gold, and a first-class grade!" ”

There was a sound of reward, a cheer, and as soon as the drums sounded, the people turned their horses and galloped in all directions, looking for their prey. The autumn hunt in the paddock has always been the innate advantage of military generals, only to see them unleash their best skills, or draw their bows and shoot arrows with one stone, or chase the running prey non-stop, all in order to get the best results in the shortest possible time.

Huo Quzhi is no exception, five hundred gold, and the first level of the product is not in his eyes, but he is moved by the ten jars of imperial wine, and he should like this kind of excellent wine very much when he gives it to his uncle. Huo Quai's arrows were not in vain, in just half an hour, he had shot twenty birds, eight beasts, just thinking about stopping the horse to drink saliva, suddenly the grass and trees in front of him moved, and the elk flashed quickly, Huo Qubing couldn't drink water, and hurriedly urged the horse forward.

The deer ran fast, disappeared in a blink of an eye, Huo Quzhi looked around and still didn't find anything, just when he was about to give up, the dead bushes not far from him seemed to move, Huo Quzhi jumped off the horse with a move in his heart, took the bow and walked over gently. When I got closer, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and it turned out to be a black wild cat that moved the dry bushes, and the wild cat saw someone approaching and swooped away, and disappeared in an instant. Huo Quzhi also put down his bow and arrows, and was about to turn around and drink saliva, when a faint voice came.

"Wei Qing, don't think that the last time I injured you, if you don't report it to Your Majesty, I will be grateful to Dade. If there is a chance in the future, I dare to take your life to comfort my father's soul in the sky! ”

"Master Hou, the death of the old general Li Guang, Wei Qing has already explained to you, the old general got lost in the desert that day, I have asked Changshi to record the reason why your father is lost, but the old general has been unwilling to answer, and finally killed himself in anger. In this matter, although Wei Qing is crying in his heart, he is also to blame, if Hou Ye still thinks that Wei Qing forced the old general to death, then Wei Qing is willing to take one life for another, and Wei Qing's life Hou Ye can come to take it at any time! ”

"Uncle!" Huo Quzhi was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from. I saw that Li Dang in his camp was pulling out his bow and arrow, and the person who was pointing the bow and arrow turned out to be his uncle, the great Sima general of the dynasty, Wei Qing.

"Wei Qing, don't think I don't dare, since I dared to hurt you in the past, I can shoot you to death with an arrow today! After you die, I will explain the facts in front of Your Majesty, whether you kill or chop, and let Your Majesty do your best! ”

"Whoosh!" An arrow passed, Wei Qing closed his eyes, Tianlan, I'm here to accompany you!

"Uncle! Uncle! A wheezing sound sounded in his ears, Wei Qing hurriedly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Huo Quai's anxious face.

"Sickness, why are you here?" Wei Qing was very surprised. "What about Li Kang?" An ominous premonition surged up instantly, Wei Qing hurriedly looked in the direction where Li Dang was standing, and sure enough, where Li Dang was standing just now, there was a person lying there, and that person's heart was in the middle of an arrow.

Wei Qing hurriedly ran over, the arrow had already penetrated deep into Li Kang's body, and a large blood stain appeared on his coat, Wei Qing tested Li Kang's snort with his hand, the snort was already cold, Wei Qing looked at Li Kang's heart with sadness, and slowly put down his hand.

Huo Quzhi didn't care about anything else, so he asked with concern: "Uncle, where are you hurt?" ”

"Where can I get hurt?" Wei Qing sighed and said, "Didn't everyone shoot everyone to death by you?" ”

"Uncle, it was Li Dang who pointed an arrow at you just now, if I hadn't shot him, it would be you who was shot now, uncle!" Huo Quzhi didn't understand why Wei Qing was so sorry for a person who was hostile to him.

"You won't understand, I'd rather be shot right now, it's me." Wei Qing squatted next to Li Dang's corpse, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, Old General Li, it's all my Wei Qing's sin!

"Uncle..."Although Huo Quzhi couldn't understand Wei Qing's mood, he never regretted killing Li Kang's arrow, if he didn't kill Li Kang, Li Kang would kill his uncle, he must not sit idly by.

"Ahh

----

Looking at the two big Simas and the dead Guan Neihou in the enclosure, Liu Che, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, was puzzled, and asked Wei and Huo: "What happened, who of you came to tell me?" ”

Wei Qing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is caused by the minister..."

Before the words fell, Huo Qubing grabbed him and said, "Your Majesty, Li Dang is going to shoot at the sick place!" He was holding an arrow and pointing it at the general..."

"Your Majesty..."Wei Qing was about to explain, Liu Che motioned to Wei Qing with his hand not to speak, and then pointed at Huo Quzhi and said, "You continue." ”

"No!" Huo Quzhi continued, "At that time, Li Dang was holding a bow and arrow, and the arrow was pointed at the general and said, 'Don't think that I dare not shoot you, in the past, I dared to hurt you, and today I can shoot you with an arrow.' Seeing that the general did not avoid the arrows, Li Dang was about to shoot him, but when I saw it, I shot him to death first. ”

"Do you know why Li Dang wanted to shoot the general?" Liu Che asked.

"What the minister heard with his own ears, that Li Dang remembered the death of the old general Li Guang in his heart, and claimed that it was the general who forced the old general Li to death. But in the battle of Mobei, according to what the ministers heard, it was obviously that the old general Li was lost in the desert and missed the date of the round, which caused Yi Zhi to escape, and Changshi did not answer the reason for the question, but killed himself in public. Such a fact, that Li Dare did not want to face it, but instead vented his anger on the general, listening to what Li Dare said, before today, he had also privately injured the general. ”

Liu Che moved his gaze to Wei Qing and asked, "Li dare to hurt you in private?" Is there such a thing? ”

Wei Qing nodded slightly and said, "This is indeed the case." It's just that General Li committed suicide by cutting his neck, and Wei Qing, as the commander-in-chief, bears joint and several responsibility. That Li Kang was also unhappy with his father's death, so he did this. ”

"Ridiculous!" Liu Che reprimanded when he heard this, "As the Great Sima General, you were injured by a few customs and kept silent, is your personal relationship important, or is the country's magic weapon important?" ”

"The minister is guilty." Wei Qing bowed his head and said, "This matter started because of the minister's improper behavior, please don't blame the hussar general, the incident happened suddenly, he is also eager to save the minister, and Wei Qing will bear all the blame." ”

"Uncle!" Huo Qubing was anxious when he heard this, Wei Qing signaled him with his eyes not to say more, but who expected Huo Qubing to kneel down and beg Liu Che: "Your Majesty, Li Dare died because of the minister, the minister is willing to bear all the responsibility, don't blame the general!" ”

"Hahaha!" Looking at the two big simas fighting for responsibility, Liu Che couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and said: "Then Li dared to chase the elk and was killed by the antlers, what does his death have to do with the two big Simas?" ”

Now it was the turn of the two big Simas to look at each other, "Killed by the antlers?" "Both of them are equally unbelievable.

"That's right! I said that Li Dare was killed by the antlers, that is, he was killed by the antlers, who dares not believe it? Liu Che said to the little yellow door beside him: "Pull out the arrow on his chest and send him back to the mansion." ”

"No!" Xiao Huangmen naturally didn't dare to disobey the holy will, so he quickly dragged Li Dang with his hands and feet, and quickly sent him to the Guannei Hou Mansion.

Seeing that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were silent, Liu Che said: "This matter is over, and the rest of the matter will be handled by me, and the two big Simas should do what they should do." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huo Quzhi reacted quickly, and hurriedly pulled Wei Qing to thank him. Although Wei Qing was sorry for Li Kangzhi's death, after all, it was about Huo Qu's illness, and he was grateful to the emperor for not being guilty of being so in the past, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The Marquis of Guannei who fought on the battlefield was killed by the antlers of the elk, and once the news came out, it caused countless speculations, but this conclusion was that the emperor himself made a royal judgment, and no one dared to say a word no matter how much speculation he had. After this incident, Li Guang's old department looked at Wei Qing with different eyes than before, with distrust and jealousy, but Wei Qing, as usual, only concentrated on handling military affairs, and kept silent about everything else.

----

"The Great General is here?" Outside the door of Weiqing Mansion, Huo Quzhi picked up a jar of wine and knocked on the door to ask. The porter saw that Huo Qu was sick and said with a smile on his face: "Hussar general, the general is in the mansion, but he is ill and does not see any guests." ”

"Is my uncle sick?" Huo Quzhi wondered, "I saw my uncle a few days ago and was fine, how could he suddenly be sick?" No, I'll have to go in and have a look. ”

"Oops... Hussar general..."The porter was worried when he saw that he couldn't stop him, and then the steward Uncle Chen rushed over, and when Huo Quzhi saw that it was Uncle Chen, he hurriedly squeezed in and said: "Uncle Chen, it's me, how is my uncle's health, when did he get sick?" Does it matter? ”

Uncle Chen bowed to Huo Qushen and said: "The hussar general has a heart, and the general is infected with a small illness, so it doesn't matter much. ”

"Then I'll go in and see my uncle." Huo Qu was sick and walked in as he spoke, and Uncle Chen hesitated and stopped: "Hussar general, stay here, the general has something to say to the old slave to bring to you." ”

"Huh?" Huo Quzhi was surprised, stopped and said, "Is there anything that my uncle can't tell me in person?" Why do you have to talk? However, he was surprised and still asked, "Uncle Chen, what did my uncle ask you to bring to me?" ”

The steward Chen Bo has been in the Weiqing Mansion for many years, and the wrinkles on his face are soaked in the wind and frost of the years, and he only said slowly: "The general said, the hussar general is reckless by nature, and it is advisable to introspect!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Huo Quai's face was full of disbelief, his expression seemed to cry and laugh, and after a long time, Fang said: "Uncle really said that? ”

Uncle Chen is also an old man in the mansion who watched Huo Qu's illness grow up, looking at him with such a look, knowing that he felt uncomfortable, he was very unbearable, he only nodded slightly, and said kindly: "Little boy, go back early." ”

Huo Quzhi closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and suddenly smashed a jar of wine in his hand to the ground, and suddenly the hops splashed everywhere, and the smell of wine was fragrant. "Uncle, why? Why are you doing this to me? Huo Quzhi shouted loudly towards the inner courtyard, and then went out without looking back.

Wei Qing stood in the middle hall, and when he heard the sound of Huo Quai's departure, he couldn't help but sigh.
