A crimson war horse was waiting for its owner on the grass not far from the mountain forest. Chewing something in his mouth, occasionally looking up at the dense part of the mountains. It knew that the master was in there, but it had just waited for so long, why hadn't it come out yet?

Ryoma is psychic, and the master is already injured, and this operation may be a little dangerous. But it wasn't worried, and was still quietly waiting. The battlefield of thousands of troops and horses, the owner is invincible with it, and this is just a small scene.

Finally, the familiar whistle sounded, like a bolt of lightning, and the red figure swept through the grass, and Ryoma was gone. Soon after, the reappeared foal and obediently returned to the horse's will.

The man on horseback recuperated his somewhat disheveled hair and sheathed the red-fiery sword that had wiped away the blood. The somewhat tattered cloak had been thrown away by her.

Three new wounds were added, and this was the price she paid for killing Li Xuanji, who commanded more than 30,000 Gyeonggi heavy troops, and his entourage.

Killing is sometimes very simple, as long as you don't count the gains and losses behind it, anyone can kill. When it really inspired the murderous aura in Huo Quai's heart, even if her old injuries were not healed, if she wanted to kill all the enemies that entered her field of vision, she would do her best.

"How easy is that...... Why spend all that effort on what you can do with a sword? Master is good everywhere, but sometimes he is too cautious ....... ”

Finally, looking back at the mountains and forests behind him, Huo Quzhi pursed his lips disdainfully. After a simple bandage of the wound, he rode away. Deep in the dense forest, there was a wolf, and a large number of crows began to gather in the middle of the air to ...... this way.

On the hunting ground, after Emperor Liu Che galloped again, he finally passed over. In the open space in front of the palace, a large number of people accompanying the palace had already prepared all kinds of food and drink. The palace supplies, wine and delicacies, are naturally extremely rich.

There is also fresh hunting meat, which is cooked by the imperial chef in the palace, and made into a variety of delicious dishes in the shortest possible time, and is presented like flowing water. The emperor ordered loudly that there should be no formality today, everyone would sit around casually, and there would be a complete relaxation between the monarchs and ministers.

Since His Majesty the Emperor has such an attitude, everyone will gladly obey. Soon after, a lively drinking party began. The curtain is sweeping the ground, the autumn breeze is cool, in such an environment, the atmosphere between the monarch and the minister is harmonious, and the contract is broad.

After most of the day of horseback galloping, the emperor had a great appetite and drank until the glass was dry. When I drank to the fullest, I looked around and saw that there were many young talents among the ministers, who were heroic and heroic, and they were all the pillars of the society in the future. It can be said that there are many talents, so far, it is prosperous. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's a rare event like this today. The Han Dynasty is about to reach its peak! Although I dare not compare with Emperor Gaozu, I am already very satisfied that I have been able to achieve today's situation after nearly thirty years of hard work. If you are under great rule today, and the guests from all over the world are served, even the Huns, who have been harming the Central Plains for hundreds of years, are already fighting the trapped beasts, and they are at the last moment...... Of course, these feats are not the credit of me alone, this is the protection of the Han Dynasty from God, and it is the result of the hard work of the previous emperors, as well as the joint efforts of all the subjects of the Han Dynasty...... Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity today to toast three glasses, one to heaven and earth, two to the ancestors, and three to all the ministers! Come, fill your glasses, and salute you! ”

The emperor himself toasted, how could he not drink it. It is said that there are many ministers, and it is the first time to get a toast from the emperor, and their faces can't help but turn red with excitement, and their gratitude to Dade is overflowing.

Everyone raised their glasses together, and sure enough, the wine was dry.

The crown prince Liu Ju couldn't drink enough, but since it was his father's toast, how could he make an exception? Forced to pour it down, he couldn't help frowning and coughing lightly. When he turned his head to see Yuan Zhao, he saw him gently put down his wine glass, looking a little uneasy. I felt strange in my heart, and I couldn't understand why he had a worried look on his face when he had always been calm.

However, the next moment, the prince suddenly noticed that the corner of Yuan Zhao's eyes moved, and when he followed his gaze, he saw a figure passing through the crowd, and then sat behind him.

The prince naturally recognized that it was Huo Qu's illness that had disappeared for a while. He didn't care, looking at it from this angle, Yuan Zhao seemed to frown and asked something, while Huo Quzhi grimaced and waved his injured arm, as if to say that the injury was not a big deal.

The prince shook his head slightly. He is one of the very few people who knows the love between the master and the apprentice. If you talk about it from Wei Qing, the relationship between him and Huo Qubing is not far away. However, she was extremely proud, as if no one else except Yuan Zhao was pretending.

"I heard that my father attaches great importance to her, but what will happen if I know her true identity as a woman?"

The crown prince Liu Ju thought of the difficulties in this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How could the dignified Han Dynasty let a woman command the most elite troops! Before, everyone didn't know, so naturally no one said anything. But when the time comes, it will eventually come down in broad daylight, not to mention the emperor's attitude, some ministers in the court will definitely attack him in groups...... Brother Yuan promised her to go to the army, didn't she think of this?

The prince's worries, Yuan Zhao naturally would not be unexpected. It's just that he doesn't think it's too much of a deal. No matter what kind of situation Huo Qu's illness was in historical time and space, now that she has met herself and followed her for so many years, she has formed an indissolvable relationship...... In any way, he would not deliberately restrain her proud and uninhibited nature.

Do whatever you like! This has always been what Yuan Zhao said to several disciples. It's not just talking, it's about who wants to do whatever they want to do, and he will support it unconditionally. Even if he pokes a hole in the sky, he will do his best to make up for them.

To this day, speaking seriously, Changle Yuan has not really experienced an irresolvable crisis. Whether it is Cui Hong, Huo Quai, or Lu Jun and Li Ling, who have gradually grown up, the biggest danger they have experienced is nothing more than fighting with people, the complexity of people's hearts and the trap of conspiracy, they have never seen much.

It is not enough to do things with passion and impulse. Yuan Zhao sometimes carefully observed these people, and finally found out that these guys were not the material. Brave and fearless fighting, naturally no one will be left behind. But when it comes to strategic layout, they are thoughtful, but they don't have that kind of talent.

But he is not in a hurry, the years are long, and there is time to find reserve talents. In the future, whether you are like-minded or inherit all that you have done, there will always be someone you can entrust.

Yuan Zhao was thinking about something in the future when he suddenly felt someone tugging at the placket of his clothes. Then whispered in his ear.

"Master, there's a little thing I want to talk to you about, but you can't be fierce."

Yuan Zhao didn't look back, he saw some Yulin Army guards in the jungle in the distance as if they had received some news, heading towards the northwest direction of Shanglin Yuan. At the same time, a few of them came this way, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be very panicked.

"Tell me anything, God is mysterious."

He hesitated for a moment, then hesitated no more. Huo Quzhi bit his lip.

"I killed the guy I hated the most!"

"Killed? …… Who? ”

Yuan Zhao was watching strangely as the panicked Yulin Army guards came over here, and he didn't react for a while. But in the next moment, he turned his head sharply.

"Master, just now, I killed Li Xuanji and his entourage."

At this time, the sun is flat in the west, the clouds in the west sky are infinitely brilliant, and many magnificent colors are added between the mountains. The banner of the Han Dynasty is unfurled in a high place, the majestic war horses neigh, and the autumn wind hunts the grounds, rolling up the dust. Huo Quzhi, who has been following him for more than ten years, has a hint of excitement, as if he is a child who invites merit and rewards from adults.

Yuan Zhao rubbed his forehead with his hand, but he was not surprised as he imagined, but smiled on his face. Something that is inevitable will happen eventually. On the road of power struggle, bloodshed and conflict are something that the emperor cannot suppress with his majesty and power.

He didn't want to get involved in the turmoil of imperial power in Weiyang Palace so early. In Yuan Zhao's original plan, when the Xiongnu were completely destroyed and Wei Qing returned to Chang'an with complete victory, whether it was in the army or in the court, his voice would inevitably be different from before. The official rise of the Wei clan will certainly enable the majority of people in the government and the opposition to see the situation clearly and quickly change their choice and trend.

When that time comes, the so-called "soldiers who surrender without a fight". Some forces inside and outside the Weiyang Palace, no matter what kind of ambition they have, will retreat in the face of difficulties.

Therefore, earlier, Emperor Liu Che adopted the method of harmony with the mud to calm the contradiction between him and Li Xuanji, and Yuan Zhao not only did not object, but was happy to see it.

However, now Li Xuanji is dead, dead at the hands of Huo Quai. And it was when His Majesty the Emperor was in high spirits and was proud of his balance wrist. The so-called one stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the next turmoil can be imagined!

"Don't say anything for a while, I'll go around...... If Your Majesty is angry, you can only say that it was manslaughter. ”

Yuan Zhao patted her back gently, and saw that the wound on the outside of her arm was oozing blood again, and he was distressed and pityful.

Huo Quzhi saw that Yuan Zhao didn't blame her at all, but showed infinite warmth on his face. Her heart was sour, and the little grudge against him and Sister Lingzhi last night had already disappeared. At this moment, even if you do more things for the person in front of you, bear more grievances, and kill more people...... She has no regrets!
