This night was destined to be a sleepless night for all.

Wei Bu sat in the study at home, didn't sleep all night, and was secretly thinking all night, what was he thinking? It's very simple, thinking about how Wei can become the biggest beneficiary after Huo Qu's death.

Wei Qing didn't sleep either, he was also calculating, Wei Zifu didn't sleep either, he was also calculating, and Liu Che also calculated all night.

What Huo Quzhi values most is the family relationship with these people, but they ....... The least important thing is these two words.

........

When the morning sun rose on the second day, in the depths of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che, who had not slept all night, slowly raised his head, revealing his bloodshot eyes and a face that seemed to have aged a lot.

The first rays of the morning sun shone into Weiyang Palace, and also shone on Liu Che's majestic face.

The sunlight dispelled the darkness in the temple and dispelled the depression in the temple, but in the corner where the sunlight could not shine, the darkness seemed more majestic.

Staring at the scorching and dazzling sun, Liu Che silently closed his eyes and bowed slightly.

"Finally....... It's time to get started. ”

..........

After a simple freshening up, after breakfast, Huo Quzhi began to wear armor under the service of his subordinates, and soon the red tiger armor was draped on his body, and the bright red cloak as bright as blood also hung quietly behind his waist.

Tying his sword around his waist, he was as handsome and chic as ever, and the handsome and masculine young general appeared in front of the world.

After dressing up neatly, Huo Qubing lightly instructed, "Fu Bo, don't forget to clean my study well today, and the wedding dress must also be cleaned well, never be contaminated with dust, and you don't need to prepare a meal for me tonight, the army is about to go out, I will take the Huo Jun brothers out of the city for training tonight, I haven't fought a war for more than two years, a fight is a big battle, and we must hone and hone them well." ”

The old servant Fu Bo is an old servant in the former Wei Qing Mansion, who has been in Wei Qing's house for many years, and can be regarded as one of the people who grew up watching Huo Quai's illness, after Huo Quai's general's mansion was completed, Wei Qing sent Fu Bo, who had grown up taking care of Huo Quai's illness, to his mansion as a housekeeper and continued to take care of Huo Quai's diet and daily life.

For Fu Bo, Huo Qubing is not only his little master who watched him grow up, but he almost treats him as his own child, and after carefully helping Huo Qubing tidy up his armor, Fu Bo's wrinkled old face appeared with a kind smile, "Okay, okay, the general can rest assured, everything in this house is handed over to the old man, and ah, general, don't fight so hard, you are tired of your body and bones, and you are the one who loses." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled faintly, "It's okay, I've survived for so many years, that's almost the same, not to mention that over the years, I can't remember how many times I've crawled out of the pile of dead people, tired or tired can't hurt me, for the sake of the big man, it's nothing if I'm tired." ”

........

Before leaving, Huo Quzhi returned to his study, looking at the red wedding dress hanging on the wall, Huo Quzhi's eyes were gentle in an instant, he reached out and gently stroked the silk wedding dress, Huo Quzhi looked at it affectionately, and said softly: "Wait for me, don't worry, it's fast, it's fast, I can go back after this battle, and you can ....... Don't have to wait for me anymore. ”

When the words fell, Huo Qubing turned around, resolutely left the study, walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion, and rode on the chasing wind brought by the servant for him.

It's coming, it's coming, Meng Yao, wait for me, I'll be able to go back soon, I'll be able to go back to see you soon!

Wait for me, wait for me!

.......

"Drive, drive." Riding to chase the wind, Huo Qubing quickly walked all the way through the crowded streets of Chang'an and drove towards the Han Palace.

On horseback, he glanced at the pedestrians around him, and when he looked at them, the respect in his eyes from the heart, Huo Quzhi smiled subconsciously.

This is the country he guards, this is the people he guards, and the reason why he has fought so hard all these years is precisely to protect them and protect them from the suffering of war.

How good, look, what a beautiful scene this is, the people live and work in peace and contentment, they only need to work hard every day, they can eat a full meal, they don't have to worry about the threat of foreign enemies, they just need to be happy and happy, how good it is.

That's why I'm fighting, that's what I'm guarding - the big man.

"Drive." Huo Quzhi urged the war horse, chased the wind and galloped with his legs, turned into a beam of white lightning, and rushed towards the Han Palace.

But what Huo Qubing didn't know was that after he drove his horse away from the market, the market was full of people and pedestrians one second, and in the next second, thousands of Yulin soldiers suddenly rushed out.

"Go, go! Go in, Your Majesty has a decree, no one is allowed to leave the house today, and those who violate it will be killed! ”

Driven by the Yulin army, all the people were driven back to their homes, and in an instant, the entire Chang'an City was ...... It was empty.

........

Like last time, Huo Qubing dismounted at the Luocheng Gate and handed over the chasing wind to the guards of the Luocheng Gate, Huo Qubing carried his sword, strode forward, and walked into the imperial city with his head held high as before.

Yes, head high, Huo Quai's head, this life is raised high, and he has rarely lowered it.

........

"Your Majesty, the champion has arrived." Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law stood behind Liu Che and said softly.

Standing in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, Liu Che, who was staring at Chang'an City in the distance with his back hand, heard that Huo Qu was sick, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and nodded, "It's still here in the end, okay, I know, let Jiang Yuan ...... Get ready. ”

"No."

.......

After entering from the Luocheng Gate, passing through more than a dozen magnificent palaces such as Changxin Palace, Gui Palace, and North Palace, Huo Qubing came to the north gate of the palace city.

Along the way, for some reason, Huo Qubing always felt that something was not right, there seemed to be fewer palace maids and eunuchs who came and went in the past, and some of the harem concubines who could often be seen on the road were also gone today.

But Huo Qubing didn't care about this, after receiving an inspection of the North Gate guard, Huo Qubing walked into the North Gate, but at this time, he suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the strange-looking North Gate guard behind him, Huo Qubing couldn't help asking, "Isn't the original guard here the second son of Lord Dugu?" Where did he go? ”

Taking over the position of the guard of Dugu Lin's north gate was a forty-year-old veteran of the border pass, and he clenched his fists, "If you go back to Da Sima, General Dugu has been transferred to the front hall of Weiyang Palace to be on duty." ”

"Oh, that's right." looked at this unsmiling general, and then looked at the soldiers of the Yulin Army who were straight-waisted and looked very indifferent around him, and finally, Huo Qubing put his eyes on the tall north gate city wall, looking at the soldiers standing guard seriously on the city wall, Huo Qubing couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

His natural intuition told Huo Quzhi that today's palace was different from the past.

Because under that seemingly calm surface, what Huo Qubing felt was a faint murderous aura.

Although the murderous aura was weak, he could clearly perceive it, and it was ...... The murderous aura seemed to be a little unbearable, like the excitement of an archer who was about to shoot that arrow after stretching his bow for a long time.

It seems that someone really wants to be unfavorable to me, Huo Quzhi secretly thought in his heart, and soon, disdain poured up, "Come on, I've never been afraid of anyone." ”

After thinking about it, Huo Quzhi didn't pause, strode into the north gate, and walked towards Weiyang Palace.

He sensed the danger, but he thought it was from someone else, such as Jiang Yuan.

He is still like this, still trusting his majesty so unreservedly, trusting ...... His uncle-in-law.

He never thought that Liu Che would do something to him one day, because he didn't believe it, because he knew that it was simply impossible.

He didn't believe that Liu Che would kill him, which was why he always showed such a disdainful expression when Liu Bei Cao Cao reminded him to be careful against Liu Che in the past.

He never believed it, never believed that Liu Che would attack him.

Because he thought he knew Liu Che, he also firmly believed that His Majesty, to whom he was loyal, was a loving and righteous emperor and a wise monarch!

.......

After Huo Qubing entered the north gate of the palace, Jiang Yuan, who had been secretly dispatching troops, immediately ordered: "Order the eight gates of the palace city, the nine gates of the imperial city, and the four gates of Chang'an, and all the guards will immediately close the gates, and no one is allowed to enter them without authorization!" ”

"No."

"Boom!" Under Jiang Yuan's order, all the gates of Chang'an City were closed at the same time.

"Boom!" The loud sound of the gates closing made the hearts of those who listened tremble.

From this moment on, Chang'an has turned into an iron bucket, an unbreakable subway barrel, no one wants to escape, no one can escape.

........

Weiyang Palace is divided into three halls in the front, middle and back, with walls built on all sides, Liu Che is located in the middle hall of Weiyang Palace at the moment, the height is up to fifteen meters, which is why he stands in the palace, he can look at the entire Chang'an City.

Under the indifferent gaze of the soldiers of the Yulin Army in the front hall, Huo Qubing stepped on the bluestone steps leading to the front hall step by step.

The tall and majestic bluestone steps, behind the quaint and solemn Weiyang Palace, Huo Quzhi walked slowly, his eyes fell on the quaint hall from time to time, a trace of sigh crossed his eyes, and at the same time, he was also carefully holding the dark arrows that could be shot at any time.

.......

"Step." Huo Quzhi stretched out his left foot, and under the complicated gaze of the soldiers of the Yulin Army on both sides, he stepped on the first-level bluestone steps.

.......

Outside Ganquan Palace.

Qian Mingguang on horseback looked at the dense Yulin cavalry soldiers around him, his face instantly turned indifferent, and he glared at Jiang Guang with a smug face in front of him, Qian Mingguang gritted his teeth and said, "Commander Jiang, what do you mean by this?" ”

At this moment, 10,000 Yulin cavalry soldiers, under the leadership of Jiang Guang, had already surrounded Qian Mingguang's 3,000 Huo army.

Looking at Qian Mingguang, Jiang Guang smiled proudly, "General Qian Zhonglang, listen to my advice, hurry up and let your brothers lay down their weapons, I have a whole ten thousand people here." ”

Qian Mingguang's big hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife, holding back the anger and fear in his heart, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jiang Guang smiled disdainfully, "I don't know when I'm dying, heh, come on, Qian Mingguang will take the order!" ”

Qian Mingguang frowned, not knowing who Jiang Guang was going to do.

Seeing Qian Mingguang's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, Jiang Guang sneered: "What, Qian Zhonglang doesn't want to accept this holy decree?" ”

Qian Mingguang was stunned when he heard this, so he had to let go of the handle of the knife that he was firmly holding in his hand, turned over and dismounted, "Minister Qian Mingguang, take the order." ”
