Chapter 126: Coming for the Last Reward
At the end of the first game, Emperor Wu and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs left first, only the lord of Rong'an and Huo Qubing did not leave the ring, Huo Qubing was because he wanted to ask this younger brother Huo Guang, why did he suddenly come to participate in the competition, and Huo Guang gave him too many surprises, starting from the invention of the guide car, to the extraordinary performance in the battle with the Huns, and now he actually wrote a good article.
He really didn't expect that he just thought that Huo Guang had good qualifications and a calm personality, so he wanted to take him out to break through, it was best to mix up an official and a half-job, if not, he could also be under his own protection, without worrying about food and clothing, and marry a wife and have children in the future.
But now Huo Quzhi found that his perception of Huo Guang seemed to be wrong, and even subverted, he still remembered the first time they met, talking nonsense, and being scolded by his father, the young man was now a civil and military all-rounder, how could it not be surprising.
But the lord of Rong'an wanted to secretly look at Huo Guang a few more times, and saw Huo Guang from the attic window for the first time, although it was only a quick glance, but he was moved by his handsome temperament in armor, and today he was impressed by his other side.
Rong An just wants to take a few more looks, and when he meets someone he likes, he always wants to get along with him for a while, although it is a distance, it is always good to watch him for a while.
However, Rong An didn't want to disturb Huo Guang, there was a second game, and there would be a chance to meet, she only hoped that Huo Guang could lead all the way and win the game.
There is another person who is also watching Huo Guang, but the mood is different from the previous two, she doesn't want to praise his literary talent, nor does she have affection for him, she wants him to repay his debts.
Finally the emperor left, the ministers also left, Qiao'er was going to ask for money, that was his monthly money, Huo Guang ate so many things, spent her a lot of money, he didn't want to calculate with Huo Guang the medical expenses and mental expenses for falling today, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, now you don't need money, Huo Guang will run away again in a while, he is the best at escaping.
Qiao'er just wanted to sneak around Huo Guang from behind and block him to ask for money.
Lord Rong'an suddenly said, "Qiao'er, let's go." ”
Walk? But I haven't asked for any money yet!
Qiao'er didn't want to leave, "County Lord, I haven't asked for my money yet, can you allow Qiao'er to exchange the money he owes me back first." ”
If it weren't related to money, Qiao'er wouldn't be so sad, after all, it's a month's money, she still wants to save it and use it as a dowry for herself in the future, Huo Guang actually ate so much in one meal, Qiao'er couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.
Rong An frowned, she naturally didn't want Qiao'er to go to Huo Guang now, with Qiao'er's character, she would definitely make trouble in the past, if Huo Guang won the game in the future, she would be her husband, and she really didn't want to make trouble at this time.
Rong An could only aggrieved Qiao'er, "Don't go." ”
Qiao'er's big eyes subconsciously widened, "But the county lord ......"
Rong An swept over a mouth-stopping look, Qiao'er steadily received the gaze of this hidden Xiaoice knife, could only hold her mouth, bit her lip flap and follow Rong An, and finally did not forget to glare fiercely in the direction of Huo Guang.
Qiao'er muttered in her heart, their county lord had never seen a prince before, and he had a good impression of people for the first time, and he originally thought that no matter what kind of talent the county lord fancied, he must be both virtuous and beautiful, both civil and military, but ......
Qiao'er couldn't figure it out, why did she fancy Huo Guang, except for having a good skin, there was no merit at all, she snorted fiercely in her heart.
......
"I don't tell my eldest brother how to participate in the competition."
Huo Guang turned around when he heard the voice, and saw the eldest brother Huo Quai, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he came a little late, and he didn't hear the previous reward, and he didn't know if he showed the jade pendant, and the eldest brother didn't see that the reward for this competition was his jade pendant.
The corners of Huo Guang's eyes twitched, and he said a little embarrassedly, "I happened to pass by, so I signed up." He thought about it, but he still didn't know the bottom in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "I wonder why my eldest brother came here too?" ”
"Your Majesty gives an order, who dares not to come."
It turned out that it was because of His Majesty's request, not the eldest brother himself, Huo Guang was relieved, looking at Huo Quai's attitude, it didn't look like he had seen the prize.
Huo Quzhi was actually more curious about why Huo Guang participated in the competition.
Once the little servant in the family said that there are rumors in Chang'an City that when the county lord of Rong'an was recruiting a son-in-law, he once pointed out the window and said, "If this person is not married." And that person was Huo Guang, who happened to return to Chang'an with the army.
Because no one had seen Rong An's appearance before, Huo Qubing also listened to rumors and thought that the county lord was ugly, but when he saw it today, it was indeed a miscommunication, the county lord was handsome, had an extraordinary temperament, and was a stunning beauty.
Could it be that my brother knows this, so he came to participate in the Birn Competition, just to win the race and become a county horse? It's just such a big thing, Huo Guang didn't talk to him in advance, and this guy can really calm down.
Huo Quzhi pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth floated with a playful arc, "Are you here for the final reward?" He said it very tactfully, for fear that my brother would be embarrassed.
Huo Guang's heart sank, he was indeed here for the reward, could it be that the eldest brother already knew that the reward was the jade pendant he gave him? The heart that I had just put down was lifted again.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth cautiously and hummed softly.
Huo Quzhi laughed twice, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it's normal for people to compete, just try your best, big brother has confidence in you." ”
Huo Quzhi was happy in his heart, his younger brother seemed to have admired the county lord for a long time, but the two didn't seem to have crossed paths before, but he thought about it, maybe this is fate.
"Thank you, big brother." Huo Guang thanked the eldest brother in his mouth, but he was a little unsound in his heart, this sentence is normal for people, does he know that he lost the jade pendant and thinks that it is human nature to accidentally lose the jade pendant, or does he not see the jade pendant at all and just thinks that it is human nature for Huo Guang to want to get the treasure given by the emperor?
Huo Guang's mind was a little messy, the eldest brother didn't ask about Yu Pei directly, although he was apprehensive, he could also deceive himself, he didn't say anything, he smiled with Huo Quai, and followed him back to the house.
How could Huo Guang know that when Emperor Wu announced the reward, he focused on choosing a son-in-law for Rong An, and the final reward was the status of the concubine, and the matter of the jade pendant was originally just a cover for Rong An to lead Huo Guang to participate in the competition, so before the competition, no one saw what the jade pendant from the imperial gift looked like.
Huo Quzhi looked at his handsome younger brother from time to time, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart, and then a smile appeared on his face that seemed very strange to Huo Guang.
And the more Huo Guang saw that the eldest brother was as casual as no one, the more he felt as if the eldest brother knew something.
In this way, with different thoughts, the two walked side by side along the avenue of Chang'an City.
