Chapter 54: The Night of the Rain Soul
Ruoyao continued to be assimilated by the women, while Huo Quzhi was very busy.
Since returning from exploring Tu Lin that night, Ruoyao firmly believes that the incense building sells dog meat on the head of a sheep.
So after returning home, I asked Huo Quzhi to pay more attention to the incense building, especially at night.
Because Ruoyao told Tu Lin a lot of non-existent things, such as the rebellion of the defenders of Henan County, Wei Qing and Li Guang only came back after a few months, and the strategic use of troops by the imperial court against the Xiongnu, etc.
Of course, what Wei Qing and Li Guang did when they went to Henan County, Ruoyao really didn't know, and there was no record in history.
Lure the snake out of the hole, in the face of such good news, the enemy will definitely take action, so let Huo Qubing always pay attention.
And Huo Qubing didn't have much to do after the collective death of the forward battalion of the period, and the Wei Mansion couldn't stay, so he was extremely concerned about this matter arranged by Ruoyao.
That night, Huo Quzhi squatted outside the incense building, and he had to carefully observe every person who seemed suspicious in and out of the incense building, especially the woman, this was Ruo Yao's special explanation.
"Childe, Childe." Suddenly, a shout came from a distance to Huo Quai.
Huo Quzhi looked at the brightly lit street, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he got up and shouted back: "Zhao Ponu." ”
Zhao Ponu, eleven years old, is a small servant in Huo Mansion in Pingyang County, his status is comparable to that of Wei Qing back then, he was very good with Huo Qu's illness when he was very young, and he was a domestic slave sent by Huo Zhongru to serve Wei Shao'er full-time.
Due to this period of time, the people of the Wei family wanted to correct Wei Shao'er's name, or fight for fame, Zhao Ponu also came to Chang'an with Wei Shao'er, and I heard that Huo Zhongru would officially marry Wei Shao'er in a few days.
Seeing Huo Qubing standing outside the incense building, Zhao Ponu was very curious: "You, what are you doing here?" ”
"Wait for the rabbit." Huo Quzhi said.
"Waiting for the rabbit?" Zhao Ponu didn't understand.
Huo Quzhi said as he walked: "I don't understand either, it was Sister Ruoyao who said it." After speaking, he began to care about his mother: "Broken slave, is your mother okay lately?" It's been a long time since I've seen her. ”
Zhao Ponu said: "Don't worry, she is very good now, a few days ago, Mrs. Shen was entrusted by the queen to find Master Huo in person, I heard that in the next few days, we will go back to our hometown in Pingyang." ”
Huo Quzhi's heart let go, although he was young, he had experienced too many things and felt a lot.
"Come back with us." Zhao Ponu invited, he knew that Huo Qubing was raised by his uncle.
Huo Quzhi smiled coldly, Wei Shao'er's cry was still in his ears, he was born in a broken temple, returned to Huo Mansion and was driven away by the main house and lived on the streets, when he was a cow and a horse, he returned to Huo Mansion again, and then he was driven away, and he relied on each other to go to his mother's family.
At the age of five, Wei Shao'er had to entrust Huo Quzhi to Wei Qing, who had entered Chang'an, and then returned to Pingyang County alone, and Huo Qu'er in Chang'an experienced all kinds of ...... that people looked down on.
All the hardships and all the tears have been survived now, and now he is going back to Pingyang County, Huo Quzhi really doesn't know how to face his current home, how to face this father Huo Zhongru who abandoned him.
"Forget it." Huo Quzhi patted Zhao Ponu's shoulder: "When will my mother leave?" ”
Zhao Ponu held his mouth: "The day after tomorrow, otherwise what am I looking for you to do now?" Madame just wanted me to ask you. ”
Huo Quzhi is accustomed to the life of Chang'an, he is used to talking in front of Wei Qing, and he is used to the life of an orphan in the period, he thinks it is better not to go back to face it, as long as his mother is good, so he said: "I won't go back, my uncle said that he would reorganize the period gate army, and I will stay." ”
Zhao Ponu had a strong sense of resonance after hearing this: "I don't think you should go back, hey, don't mention how much the old man has, and he will be blinded when he goes back, it is better to stay in Chang'an to learn from your uncle's achievements, what if you pay homage to the general?" ”
"Yes!" Huo Quzhi looked at the incense building firmly and said, "I also want to do a career." ”
Zhao Ponu put his right hand on Huo's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't forget my brother." ”
"Is that kind of person that I, Huo Quai?"
The two of them had no topic to talk about, and Zhao Ponu noticed the problem just now, so he asked, "What are you doing outside the incense building?" Go in, I heard it's free. ”
Huo Quzhi's eyes were already aimed at a woman who was going downstairs at this time, she looked around and her steps were hurried.
"Should you?" Zhao Ponu smiled evilly, his mind was full of that kind of thing.
Huo Quzhi glared at Zhao Ponu: "Blind thinking, hurry, follow." ”
Huo Quzhi and Zhao Ponu followed the woman for two streets, and finally had an unexpected gain.
The woman went out of the city, and after leaving the city, a carriage took her over, and more importantly, he became a man when he got into the carriage.
Zhao Ponu was stunned by the scene in front of him, and asked softly: "Go to the disease, she is a fake woman." ”
"See!" Huo Quzhi saw that the fake woman had just changed her clothes, and she was getting out of the car to wash her face in the ditch on the side, as if she was going to wash off the rouge gouache on her face, so she analyzed and judged for a moment and said, "You stole his carriage." ”
Zhao Ponu's specialty is to raise horses, just like Wei Qing back then, Ma Nu.
Zhao Ponu secretly ran to the woods, put his right hand in his mouth, and then blew hard.
"Shh......h
The whistle pierced the night, and the horse pulling the carriage began to become agitated, and before the fake woman could react, the horse pulled the cart and ran into the darkness, so anxious that the fake woman chased after her.
……
"Go sick, hurry, there's silver here." Zhao Ponu flipped through the things that the fake woman had left on the carriage.
Although the carriage is not luxurious, it is fully equipped inside, with a lot of dry food and clothes inside, it is like going out on a long journey.
The two turned the carriage over and found food, clothes, and some silk and porcelain, all of which were specialties of the Han Dynasty.
Huo Quzhi feels wrong, the fake woman is wrong, and this carriage is even more wrong: "Look carefully again." ”
Zhao Ponu began to rummage again, and almost dismantled the carriage, but still found nothing.
Zhao Ponu: "Childe, what are you looking for?" ”
"Token!" Huo Quzhi vaguely remembered Ruoyao's explanation, she revealed such a big news to Tu Lin, if there was really a problem with the incense building, it was impossible for Tu Lin not to send the news out.
Zhao Ponu didn't know why, but he knew what the token represented, so he didn't ask much, so he continued to rummage.
It doesn't matter if you can't find it in the car, it should be okay to dismantle the carriage, and the two of them actually dismantled the carriage.
Eventually, a sheepskin was found in the axle of the carriage, and many symbols were densely written on it.
Looking at the dense variety of symbols, Huo Quzhi and Zhao Ponu were stupid, what is this written?
And at this moment, I saw a torch walking slowly towards this side.
"Let's go!" Huo Quzhi put away the sheepskin and disappeared into the night with Zhao Ponu.
