Xu Han smiled slightly, and then raised his eyes to move to Xu Dingtai's body, this smile made people feel a deep chill for no reason, which made his heart sink and feel ominous.

"Everyone is an official of Jin Wuwei, I don't need to cut off my own arm."

She looked at Xu Dingtai with a smile, "Adults have some misunderstandings about me, I can understand it, today's competition is just to let everyone know my ......."

Her words paused, and this pause made Xu Dingtai's heart rise again.

Even the people in the stands were waiting for what Xu Han asked Xu Dingtai to do.

The horse commander in the center leaned forward slightly, and the short sword that had been hanging from his waist swayed.

Xu Han's eyes only glanced at it at first, and then passed, but at this moment, when she saw clearly the short sword hanging from the waist of the horse commander, her eyes darkened.

Since the founding of the country, the Huo family has always been a pawn of the royal family, fighting for the royal family.

One year, Taizu was surrounded by the enemy and was almost cornered, and it was the ancestor who broke through with a short sword and beheaded the enemy commander and rescued Taizu by himself.

Since then, although the Huo family has not been made a marquis, it has a special status in the hearts of every emperor.

The life-saving sword has also become the heirloom of the Huo family, enshrined in front of the ancestors' ranking, and enjoying the Huo family's incense together with the Danshu iron coupon given by the ancestor.

The sword of the Ma commander is clearly the sword of the Huo family's ancestral temple.

She has looked at that sword since she was a child, and she will never admit it!

Xu Han squeezed his hands tightly, and couldn't help but tremble!

This sword was actually in the hands of Commander Ma, she once went to see the ancestral house of the Huo family, but it had become a ruin, so was it Commander Ma who destroyed the ancestral shrine of the Huo family?

This father's good subordinate, did she call 'Uncle Ma' take that sword as a trophy and hang it around her waist to enjoy?

This sword, something that everyone in the Huo family cherished, suddenly appeared in the hands of an outsider.

A fishy sweetness welled up in her throat, and she swallowed hard.

If she had seen all kinds of faces when she was Huo Han in the past, she felt that the world was very sad.

But at this moment, she deeply felt that the fall of the Huo family was not caused by one person, two people, and every time she thought about the death of her father and brother's family, she felt sad and desperate.

They fought for their country, they sacrificed their lives for their country, what did they get in exchange?

The ancestral hall of the Huo family is gone, the people of the Huo family are dead, and everything in the Huo family has been trampled on.

Her mind was blank, and the tragedies she had experienced suddenly swarmed into her mind.

Xu Dingtai saw that Xu Han hadn't spoken for a long time, and his face was still a little distorted, he thought that Xu Han was thinking about how to punish him, so he asked in a trembling voice,

"What the hell are you...... What do you want? ”

Xu Han slowly moved his eyes from which short sword to Xu Dingtai's body,

"I just want my lord to ask Master Ma for one thing, which is the short sword at his waist!"

"I have admired Commander Ma for a long time, and I am determined to be a person like Commander Ma, because of my admiration, I dare to ask for that short sword, and I hope that Lord Xu can help achieve it."

After speaking, she also saluted Xu Dingtai.

As soon as her words came out, there was an uproar on the field.

Unexpectedly, the little prince of Zhenbei was a beautiful person, who was repeatedly forced by Xu Dingtai, and in the end, he didn't expect to force him to death.

Even if she really let Xu Dingtai break his hand today, no one will say anything.

She just asked Xu Dingtai to ask for something, which was not punishment at all.

The short sword on the waist of Master Ma, where did the little prince of Zhenbei ask Xu Dingtai for the spoils, this is simply to see that the two will work together in the future, and if they look up and don't look down, they will save face for Xu Dingtai.

An incoming subordinate, a young prince of the dynasty, such a brilliant person, asked him for a short sword as a commander.

This is simply a proper overture to the horse commander.

Xu Dingtai's heart tensed for a long time, and when he heard Xu Han say that he wanted the short sword on his waist to command the horse, he didn't relax, and looked at Xu Han with some distraction.

He knew that the commander of the dagger valued it very much, and hung it around his waist. It was harder to get him to ask for this than it was to ask for his arm.

This is obviously to embarrass him, but in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Han has done this extremely beautifully.

The horse commander on the stage made his heart churn at this moment.

Why did Xu Han want his short sword?

He couldn't afford to ask for a short sword, but why the one on his waist?

The illusion just now is back, is that a ghost?

Is that person back?

Something is about to come out, but it's self-deprecating and ridiculous!

But what can he do?

The people on the side saw that he was slow to speak, so they gently pushed him.

"This sword is just a pleasure, let's change it to a different one."

He asked the guards to pass on the word.

Xu Dingtai over there listened, was stunned for a moment, and said to Xu Han, "The sword of the commander is really useless, it's better to forget it, why don't you change something?" ”

His words made everyone frown.

Even Xu Han sighed when he heard this.

When this breath falls on everyone's ears, it is particularly harsh.

Xu Dingtai has repeatedly provoked others, and Xu Han has been backing down, what Xu Dingtai did today, although Jin Wuwei's brothers didn't say it on the surface, they still knew it in their hearts.

Xu Dingtai can be so arrogant, forcing Xu Han again and again, if there is no connivance of Commander Ma, how dare he do this?

In order to do things well in Jinwuwei in the future, Xu Han wanted to calm things down, and he saved the face of both sides, but he commanded the envoy to do this, and he was reluctant to give up a sword.

The sigh from the bottom of his head started, and Xu Dingtai's face was really a little difficult to look at.

This Xu Han is really a bad thing, what bad does he want!

I was not grateful because Xu Han let go of one of his arms, but felt a resentment.

The commander of the horse made his face as usual, stood up, unsheathed his short sword, and handed it to the guards on the side.

"Give it to him." He spoke, "Today's events are ridiculous, and you will have to work on an errand in one place in the future, and don't make it too ugly." ”

This is not just a warning to Xu Dingtai, why not for Xu Han?

Xu Han saluted respectfully to the commander of the horse, and he regarded it as a thank-you.

"In the past, I thought that Commander Ma was a good person, but when I look at it today, it is really an honor to be able to get this sword."

Although Xu Han is young and his reputation in the past is not good, no one dares to despise him when he is serious, his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he does not need to be suppressed by the identity of the prince, and he has won the favor of many people.

When things come to this point, there is no need to continue, but the two games have fully demonstrated Xu Han's strength, and if it continues, it is just self-inflicted.

Commander Ma stood up, thanked those scholars of the Hanlin Academy one by one, and thanked Wang Mushan for coming to take charge.

Wang Mushan casually said a few words to the horse commander, and looked at Xu Han in the ring, and it just so happened that Xu Han also looked over, and the eyes of the two of them met.

Xu Han thought that Wang Mushan was going to tell her what he said last time in Qixinglou, but he didn't expect Wang Mushan to just approach, smiled with Xu Han, and said, "Yes, it's good." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Xu Dingtai saw that everyone was gone, so he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, he kicked Wei Ting on the ground again, "Don't you go yet, wait for the eight sedan chairs to carry you down?" ”

Xu Han stopped Wei Ting, and his voice could only be heard by the three people in the ring, "Lord Xu, don't think that if I let you go, I really let you go." ”

"This Wei Ting, I'm going to transfer him to my hands, you have no objection!"

Xu Dingtai stood there, his face was like Lei Gong.

Xu Han's basin of cold water poured down, making his heart cold again.

"If you want, take it, but don't blame me for not reminding you, his origin is not very good."

He smiled maliciously, "Be careful that you are also like his last master, and your family is ruined." ”

Xu Dingtai dropped this sentence and strode out of the ring.

He felt that Wei Ting was not familiar with it, and he was in the Huo Jiajun in the past, so it can be said that without the Huo Jiajun, there would be no Wei Ting.

But when it was time to betray, he still chose to betray without hesitation.

Wei Ting looked at Xu Han with a dejected face, his body moved with difficulty, he propped himself up, his difficult knees bent slightly, and slowly lowered his body again, he wanted to kneel down for Xu Han.

But I heard Xu Han say, "You didn't lose, but you were misled by me, and the wind rose, so you couldn't shoot the arrow in time." ”

Wei Ting was stunned, he knew the problem of the wind direction, but he didn't expect Xu Han to know it too, and he said it so frankly.

Xu Han can say this, but he can't deceive himself, his strength is not as good as Xu Han, everyone can see that he lost, this is a fact.

"If you shoot an arrow, you're sure to hit it, but I shot three arrows, each one in the bull's-eye, and I don't think you can do that."

"So, although you can shoot, your strength should indeed be inferior to mine, you have no objection, right?"

Xu Han said.

Wei Ting pursed his lips and looked at Xu Han, he didn't feel angry because of her words, because what they said was not to show off, but to explain a fact in front of him.

"The original intention of our game was to let Jin Wuwei's people see my strength, and whether I was worthy of the position of commander."

"Now I've proved that my strength doesn't need to be won by shady means, and you're just careless."

"I only hope that you will not be resentful in the future, after all, you will be in my hands in the future and listen to my dispatch."

"If you have a trace of resentment in your heart, I will let you lose once, much worse than this time."

Wei Ting didn't know what to say for a while, and he couldn't even find a clear emotion to define his mood at the moment.

This person is said to be a gentleman little prince, and using such a method has given him face and proved his own strength.

He should have been grateful, but the two threatening words behind this person made him really annoyed when he heard it, what else was he grateful for?

"You go back and pack up first, and then you can follow me and be a personal guard!" Xu Han said calmly to Wei Ting.

Shangguan has almost gone, and the children of Jin Wuwei below, especially those from the family, have rushed to the ring, and Yu Dongping patted Xu Han's shoulder,

"Brother Han, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, no, I'm going to call you Brother Han in the future! In the future, you will be the person I admire the most, and whoever dares to say half a bad word about you, without your action, I will beat him all over the ground to find his teeth. ”

"Isn't it, brethren!" He asked the people next to him in a loud voice.

"Yes!" The crowd responded in unison.

Xu Han smiled, holding the short sword sent by the horse commander just now, she always knew what she was going to do, but she had never been so clear at this moment!

She is Xu Han, she is also Huo Han, she just wants to avenge the Huo family, she wants to let those who committed the destruction of the Huo family go underground to apologize to the Huo family.

Even if she can't take revenge, she will never let those people have a good time!

She looked at the excited faces in front of her, and her heart was extremely calm.

Because of the hand that was shown on the school field, Jin Wuwei was shocked, and then Xu Han's affairs went extremely smoothly.

The soldiers assigned to her all looked at her with a look of contempt.

Some people even asked her if she could instruct everyone on their archery skills, and asked Xu Han what other specialties she had, so everyone could humbly ask for advice.

Xu Han didn't expect everyone to accept it so quickly, so if people have strength, they can get a lot of things.

She smiled and said to everyone that in the future, she could slowly learn from everyone, and she would teach everything she could.

In the past, being on duty in the palace was a three-day shift, and he could not leave the palace until he was resting, but now he is a Shangguan, and he does not need to be on duty in the palace, and he can return to the palace every day.

Wei Ting didn't wait for her to go to the office, so he carried this little burden to her to report.

"Wei Ting will obey the dispatch of the adults in the future."

Xu Han bowed slightly, "Wait a minute, follow me back to the palace, let someone arrange a place for you to live, and serve by my side in the future." ”

Xu Mian is not waiting for a bad thing, he is very loyal, but there is only one thing that is not good, only some ordinary fists and feet, she has a lot to do in the future, Xu Mian will inevitably not be able to keep up.

Wei Ting, she heard the third brother say that he was a person who could be created, and the third brother also pointed him out then.

But for some reason, he followed Commander Ma to Jin Wuwei, and over the years, he was in Jin Wuwei, and he must have known some things about Commander Ma.

Since she decided not to make those who stepped on the bones of the Huo family feel bad, then naturally she had to collect debts one by one.

When you ask someone for a debt, you have to understand the other party.

Wei Ting thought that Xu Han was just talking, but he didn't expect that she really let herself be a personal guard and brought herself into the palace.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you about you?" He asked Xu Han with a complicated face.

Xu Han smiled, "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I don't ask you how loyal you are to me, but if I let you do what you do well, it's okay." ”

She didn't think that Wei Ting was dead set on herself from the beginning, and people's hearts were always slowly recovered.

Back at the palace, she talked to the Xu family, and asked Xu Mian to take Wei Ting to settle down.

Xu Mian asked Xu Han with an aggrieved face, "Lord Wang, don't you want to wait for a small waiter?" ”

Xu Han couldn't cry or laugh, she said, "Our Ah Mian is a better person than those little girls and flower girls, how can we not want you to wait......"

She patted Xu Mian on the shoulder, "Your prince has more important things for you to do, and those manual tasks will be handed over to Wei Ting." ”

The corners of Wei Ting's mouth twitched as he listened on the side, obviously he was a person with unparalleled scenery in the ring.

I didn't expect it to be like this in private.,Xiaoqi,Hua Niang...... Wei Ting glanced at Xu Mian and Xu Han's equally thin little bodies.

He looked at his sturdy figure again, and couldn't help but pull the placket, could it be that the little prince asked him to come over because of his different figure?

He...... He didn't even pull the girl's hand......

He didn't want to take a man's hand......

Xu Han naturally didn't know that Wei Ting's inner laughter fluctuated, and after dinner, it was still early.

She sat at the window with a dagger and wiped it with a handkerchief.

The sword was back in her hand, and the aura that had been contaminated in the Huo family on it had long been irretrievable.

However, it should be something from the Huo family, and no one should want to take it.

She will get it back one by one!

Whether or not Commander Ma was suspicious of her, or if he got the sword by accident, she would find out anyway!

Even if the Huo family's sacrifice is intervened by royal people, she will turn this dynasty upside down.

As long as she still has a breath left!

Today, she is so sharp, outsiders are nothing, and she wants to come to Zhenbei King to have something to say.

Sure enough, after a while, a little servant from King Zhenbei came over to spread the word, saying that King Zhenbei asked her to come over.

She put the short sword in her hand properly and went to the king of Zhenbei.

She also saw Xu Zhao, who she hadn't seen for a long time, maybe because of Bai's death, Xu Zhao was dressed very plainly, and he was also a little thinner, standing there, taciturn, without the temperament of the previous pine, but more calm and introverted.

Bai's death, in the end, still carved a mark in his heart.

is also, even if he doesn't like it anymore, it's his own mother.

King Zhenbei's eyes were very complicated when he looked at Xu Han, he never knew that this son was so capable.

The last time he was in Qixinglou, he thought that Xu Han had won Xie Yuanlang on the third prince's side.

Unexpectedly, she is not only accomplished in calligraphy and painting, but also a first-class master in martial arts.

It is not impossible for ordinary people to achieve the effect of blind shooting, but it requires hard practice, not a year or two, or even ten or eight years, not only to practice archery, but also to practice ear power, but also to have a heart without waves.

How did Xu Han do it?

He knew that Xu Han had been pampered by the Xu family since he was a child, and when Xu Xuan was there in the past, he had never asked Xu Han harshly at all.

Xu Han learned martial arts, that was proposed by Xu Xuan, saying that the men in the Zhenbei Wangfu should not be good at nothing.

More importantly, Xu Xuan was weak and could not practice martial arts, so he only worked his knowledge.

Therefore, he was not surprised at all by Xu Han's attainments in calligraphy and painting, after all, Xu Xuan was in front of him.

But what about martial arts? Although Xu Han had stayed in the Xu Wangfu in Shu for a while, those times were not enough at all.

King Zhenbei's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were replaced with some curiosity, and some displeasure, as a patriarch, he didn't know anything.

It's not the first time he's tasted such an out-of-control.

He sighed, "Your performance in Jin Wuwei today, although your father is proud of you, you are too sharp. This is not in line with the style of Zhenbei Wangfu. ”

"Next time, I hope you don't forget that your words and deeds represent the Zhenbei Palace."

Xu Han lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "Father, I don't know what the child is doing badly. ”

"When I was a gentleman, you didn't like me, and now I have earned glory for the house, and you don't like it either."

"I want to ask my father, what do you want the child to do?"

"Isn't it, I give up this throne, I'm dead, I'm gone, you're satisfied!"

"I said that day, as long as the Bai family exchanges his life, I will fulfill Xu Zhao, but the Bai family is unwilling."

"Where in the world is there such a beautiful thing, want benefits, and don't give anything, sorry, I'm not a saint!"

Xu Zhao stood behind the King of Zhenbei, and Xu Han's words did not make him have a trace of waves, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

King Zhenbei's face turned pale, "What are you talking about, Lao Tzu is mentioning you, don't you know?" ”

"How many times have I told you, as long as you are your king of Zhenbei, then it's fine, the palace doesn't need you to earn glory!"

Xu Han chuckled, and a clear voice sounded, "Okay, I'll remember your words, if there's nothing going on, I won't bother you to talk to your good son." ”

She turned and lifted her feet and went out the door, just past the threshold, something smashed on the door next to her, shattered to the ground, and water droplets splashed on her face, she casually raised her sleeve and wiped it.

She clenched her fists, turned around slowly, looked at the flushed face of King Zhenbei, and said,

"The eldest brother died so aggrieved, everyone will seek justice for him, I don't know if it's just to let the murderer get the punishment he deserves, what's wrong."

"By the way, the eldest brother had a lot of properties before his death, but now those things are gone, not in the name of the sister-in-law, nor in the name of the Bai family, it disappeared out of thin air, and the people behind it can't find out."

"And the eldest brother's things, they were taken out to pawn for no reason, but they couldn't find the person who pawned them, I don't know how my father would feel?"

"Or do you think it's right that the palace should continue to do this kind of inaction?"

"Doesn't my father think that there is a black hand behind the palace?"

She told everything she had found these days, she didn't know who was behind the scenes, and now the person who pawned Xu Xuan's sword hadn't been found, and even the owner of the pawnshop didn't know, so she only drew a general appearance for her.

and those shops at the beginning, all of them disappeared, if this was just revenge against Xu Xuan, she didn't believe it.

When Xu Xuan was alive, he was weak in body, gentle in personality, and had good friends with many families in the capital, and people's impression of Xu Xuan was very good.

That's why she's more and more obvious.

So, who is the one who is blackmailing Xu Xuan?

If it weren't for the short sword being pawned bizarrely, she would believe that it was just the Bai family who used the Shaw family's heart to make a double food game for the sake of the throne.

She was only halfway down the road when she was stopped by the little guy who caught up, "Lord Wang, the master invites you to go back." ”

Xu Han glanced at the little guy and smiled, "This prince is not in the mood now, although the broken porcelain just now didn't hit me, it scared me, and the lord wants to go back to be surprised!" ”

After speaking, he took Xu Mian back to the courtyard without looking back.

Leave the little guy there stunned.

Back in the courtyard, Xu Han put the box containing the sword next to his pillow and fell asleep peacefully.

Xu Han had a dream.

In the dream, she walked for a long time, until she couldn't walk anymore, and she didn't want to stop.

She didn't know where she was going or what she was going to do.

Until, when she came to the unknown valley, everywhere she looked, there was billowing smoke, and the smoke obscured it, and she couldn't see people clearly, only the sound of weapons clashing and screaming.

She heard a familiar voice, which sounded mournfully, "Big brother......"

She stood beyond the smoke, trying to cut through the fog and see the screamers.

It was as if her feet were pinned, and she couldn't move half a step.

The voice was still shouting, and finally, she remembered who it was.

That's me, that's clearly my own voice.

As the smoke cleared, she saw a stray arrow piercing through the chest of a man with a spear in his hand.

Beyond his arm, stood a young man with an uncrowned crown, a red belt tied around his head, torn armor, and a blood-stained spear.

The man was shot by a stray arrow to protect the young man, only to see him put the spear in his hand on the ground, standing with difficulty, trying to turn his head, the thin and handsome face was covered with blood, the corners of his lips overflowed with bright red blood, his lips squirmed, and he clearly said, "Xiaohan, quickly...... Run ......"

The boy's face was bloodied, his eyes were full of horror and confusion, and he looked at the torn armor on his body, this was her first time on the battlefield, and his father gave her the first armor in his life as an encouragement.

Now, it was broken, and she would rather the arrow be shot at her body.

The man fell, and the boy rushed forward, hugged his tall body, and wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve.

This is her eldest brother, who loves to be clean, but on the battlefield, bleeding and sweating, where can he be dry?

She had laughed at him along with several other brothers.

It's just that she has no one to laugh at anymore.

The thick fog dissipated, and everywhere she could see was corpses, she gently put down the eldest brother in her arms, biting her lip tightly, looking for her relatives in the corpse mountain.

Her second, third, sixth, ninth, and several uncles......

Finally, she found her father, who was soaked in blood and had a dozen feathered arrows stuck in his body, from the pile of dead.

Finally, her bitten lip was broken, bright red, and tears welled up from her eyes.

She held her father tightly in her arms.

"Father's ......"

She wailed and wept, and her terrible cry echoed throughout the valley.

Before the expedition, her mother told her to take care of her father, a gentleman does not stand under the wall, and her father, as the commander, does not need to go to the battlefield in person.

But the famous hussar general Huo Zheng has always taken the lead, otherwise how could he make the soldiers under his command invincible?

She failed to live up to her mother's expectations, and she failed to protect her father and her brothers.

She howled one after another, and no one in the valley echoed except her cry and the howling of the mountain wind.

Xu Han stood there quietly, her hands covering her chest, countless pains welled up, and she wanted to go up to comfort her who was crying.

Little by little, the boy's cries ranged from despair, anger, hatred, to calm.

She wiped away her tears, neatly placed the corpses of her loved ones together, and kowtowed respectfully three times.

Early the next morning, Xu Han woke up crying, his eyes were tingling, his pillow was wet, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

She was still harrowing about that dream.

That was her own experience.

Later, she returned to the capital with the bones of the Huo family, and was ruthlessly reprimanded by the emperor, as well as those stigmas.

Changying heard the movement and came in to serve her to get up, and when she saw her like this, she was startled,

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?"

Since three years ago, Xu Han's house has not been guarded by others, even if Changying knows that she is actually a daughter, she has not asked anyone to be on duty, even the outhouse.

At that time, she was just not used to it, which Xu Han thought was not bad, she must have cried very miserably in her sleep last night.

If the maids knew, Xu would also know, and when the time came, how should she explain it?

In her hoarse voice, she told Changying to bring a hot cloth over and put it on her, and everyone in her courtyard knew that the king of Zhenbei called her over before she fell asleep.

"Lord, let's just listen to what the old prince says." Changying twisted the veil and handed it to Xu Han to comfort her.

Originally, Changying's subordinates shouldn't have said such things, but they saw too much of the face of the king of Zhenbei, and it was very strange that there was such a father who didn't like his children, and after a long time, they didn't take the king of Zhenbei in their eyes.

Xu Han knew that Changying had misunderstood, thinking that she was sad that King Zhenbei reprimanded her, and he didn't explain it, so it was good to misunderstand.

She put a handkerchief on her eyes, and Changying brought another egg and rolled it around her eyes, so that she looked better.

Just about to have breakfast, Xu Mian rushed in like a gust of wind, looked nervous, and whispered to Xu Han excitedly,

"Lord Wang, that person has been found."

Xu Han was holding chopsticks, I don't know who he was talking about, there have been a lot of things that have been handed over to Xu Mian recently.

"That's it, the pawn man, Lord Wang, we can't imagine that the person who pawned the short sword of the Great Prince was also the one who lost the jade pendant to Young Master Yu in the gambling house."

Xu Mian was really excited, he was originally looking for two people, but now he only needs to find one, how many things have been saved.

Xu Han exclaimed, "Really? ”

Xu Mian nodded again and again, "Really, really, I have taken the person to Wusang'an, do you want to meet the prince." ”

See, of course I want to see, I just told the king of Zhenbei about the short sword pawn yesterday, and I found someone today, so I have to see you no matter what!
