When Huo Qubing returned to the Champion Hou Mansion, it was already dusk in the afternoon, and when Huo Qubing walked into Huo Guang's room, he found that Princess Pingyang was also inside.

"Princess? Chen Huo went to visit the princess when he was sick. "Huo Quzhi is very respectful to Princess Pingyang, and even in his own house, he has not forgotten the etiquette.

"No need to be polite, how is your uncle?" Princess Pingyang didn't go to Wei Qing's Mansion as soon as possible because of her identity, but he has been in the Champion Hou Mansion, in fact, Huo Guang is just by the way, and the real purpose is to wait for Huo Qu to come back from illness to understand Wei Qing's situation.

"Thank you princess for your concern, uncle he is fine, but he has some skin injuries." Huo Quzhi didn't want Princess Pingyang to worry about it, so he tried his best to minimize Wei Qing's injury.

"Whew...... That's good, that's good......" Princess Pingyang let out a long sigh of relief, and even Huo Guang, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, did the assassin who assassinated Ah Guang have been caught?" Princess Pingyang knew that Wei Qing was fine, so she cared about Huo Guang's affairs.

"I have already sent Zhao Ponu to investigate, presumably he will come over tonight to report." Half a day has passed, and so far Zhao Ponu has not come to deliver the message, Huo Qubing estimates that the assassin has not been caught, but even if the assassin is not caught, Zhao Ponu should come back to report the situation later.

"Well, it's not too early. Ah Guang, you should take good care of your injuries, Xiao Yan'er, you have to take good care of our Ah Guang, right? "Princess Pingyang knows that there is such a big thing going on in the Champion Hou Mansion, and there is no need for her to stay here, and it is time for her to go back to the mansion. However, before leaving, Princess Pingyang also told Li Yan to take care of Huo Guang, and Princess Pingyang also had a general understanding of Li Yan's situation before, and even Princess Pingyang had to admit that although Li Yan had been staying by Huo Guang's side and had not yet gone to freshen up, it was still difficult to hide her peerless appearance.

"Congratulations to the princess." Huo Qu bowed to the sick, but did not go out to see Princess Pingyang. And Princess Pingyang couldn't help but glance back at Li Yan when she left, at this moment she actually remembered the strategy of replacing Wei Zifu with a woman mentioned in Wei Huo's conspiracy a few days ago, Princess Pingyang shook her head, she didn't understand that she would have such a strange idea in her heart.

"Yan'er, you are also fortunate on this day, let Lan'er and them clean up for you and change your clothes." Although Huo Guang was seriously injured, his thinking was still very clear. At this moment, Huo Qubing came back, he actually had a lot to say to Huo Quai, and of course Li Yan should really go and rest.

"It's time to close the city gate soon, so you can stay in the house tonight." Li Yan stood up and put down Huo Guang's hand with some reluctance, and was about to go out with Huo Guang's two maids, when she heard Huo Quzhi speak.

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Li Yan hurriedly saluted Huo Quai, but because Huo Guang was seriously injured, she was not happy.

"You don't have to be so polite in the future, since you are a friend of Ah Guang and have experienced this with him, you will treat this place as your home in the future." Huo Qubing has long seen Li Yan's affection for Huo Guang, and the two of them can be described as life and death, this kind of emotion is irreplaceable, Huo Quzhi naturally looks at Li Yan differently.

After Li Yan and the others went out, Huo Quzhi walked to Huo Guang's bedside and sat down. As early as after Huo Guang woke up, he asked Li Yan to put Sima Xiangru on the shelf, but at this time, Huo Qubing didn't see the book, and after so long, he had long forgotten about it.

"Brother, how did my uncle deal with Li Kang?" Huo Guang is more concerned about this issue.

"This incident should have never happened, and Li Kang has already returned home." Huo Quzhi was angry when he thought of Li Kang, so he said angrily.

"Does Your Majesty know about this?" Huo Guang continued to ask.

"When I left, the prince also arrived at the Changping Marquis Mansion, I think His Majesty should know before the prince, but it seems that His Majesty and Uncle thought the same, and they both suppressed this matter." Huo Quzhi said what he knew, and Huo Guang knew that this was the same as the development in the original history, but he must not have been assassinated at this time in the original history.

"By the way, do you know who is going to assassinate you?" This question has been pressing on Huo Qu's heart for a long time, and he finally has the opportunity to ask it at this time.

Regarding this question, Huo Guang has also been thinking about it since he woke up. If you want to say that there is only one enemy, it is Sang Hongyang, but Huo Guang didn't expect that he had blackmailed Sang Hongyang once, and he would find an assassin to assassinate him, and the revenge came so quickly.

"I don't know the Assassins, and I think the Assassins are just taking people's money. As for the person behind the scenes, I think it can only be Sang Hongyang, I didn't expect him to be so bold, it seems that he still underestimated this person! Huo Guang said what he thought in his heart, as he said, he really underestimated Sang Hongyang. Now it seems that Sang Hongyang is not only a person with a strong desire for power as recorded in the history books, but also a ruthless character.

"Sang Hong sheep? What evidence is there? Huo Quba asked slowly, he had never had the urge to kill like today.

"It's all speculation, not a shred of evidence. The only clue is probably the assassin. "Huo Guang really doesn't have any evidence, everything is actually just his guess, and Huo Guang estimates that even the assassin is probably not Sang Hongyang personally came forward to find it. It is impossible for a person like Sang Hongyang to leave anyone with any tricks.

"Got it, you have a good rest. I'll take care of these things, you can't just leave your sword at that! Huo Quzhi stood up, and there was a kind of military order in his words. Huo Guang could feel that Huo Quai's words were not just casually said, let alone comforting himself, but really doing what he said.

Huo Quzhi gently patted the back of Huo Guang's hand, and then turned around and walked out. Huo Guang saw Huo Quzhi's back, and really felt safe and steady, but when Huo Quzhi stepped out of the door, as if his feet were unstable, Huo Quzhi suddenly stumbled and almost fell, if he hadn't moved quickly, he reached out and held the door, and he fell down after taking it.

"Master Hou......" The two family members outside the door hurriedly stepped forward. Huo Quzhi waved his hand to signal that he was fine, then rubbed his forehead with his hand and shook his head again. This subtle action fell in Huo Guang's eyes, but he was horrified in his heart, with Huo Quai's physical fitness, it should not be the situation just now, if it was just because he was too tired today, it would be nothing. But Huo Guang couldn't help but link this matter with Huo Qu's pre-existing illness.

"I hope I'm overthinking, this should just be accidental......" Huo Guang kept comforting himself in his heart, in fact, he was too tired and weak today, and soon Huo Guang fell asleep.

"Master Hou, from the Hou Hou and the Hou Yiguan to the Hou" Huo Quzhi sat in the study, and the voice of the head of the Hou Mansion came from outside the door.

"Let them come in right away." Huo Quzhi opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Soon Zhao Ponu and Gao Buzhi walked side by side into Huo Quai's study, and as soon as the two walked into the study, the door was closed by Huo Tong, the chief manager who was waiting outside.

"My subordinates will meet Master Hou." Zhao Ponu and Gao Buzhi entered the study, and first knelt down on one knee to give Huo Quzhi a military salute.

"Sit down and talk." Huo Quzhi said with a straight look, as if it was a military meeting at the moment.

"Zhao Ponu, you say it first." Huo Quzhi still sat upright on the chair, and waited for the two of them to sit down before speaking.

When Zhao Ponu heard this, his buttocks had just hit the chair, and he hurriedly stood up again, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists again, and said: "Please punish Master Hou, the last general is incompetent and did not catch the assassin." ”

Zhao Ponu did not give any reason, directly admitted that he was incompetent, and asked Huo Qu to punish him. In fact, when Zhao Ponu received the order, it had been almost half an hour since Huo Guang was assassinated, and by the time he took people to Maoling, the assassin had already run away without a trace.

"If you didn't catch it, what clues did you find?" Huo Quzhi's voice was very calm, without a trace of anger, but this calmness made people feel a little scary!

"Master Hou, judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, the assassin is by no means an idle person. There are only two kinds of people who can have such means. This time it was Yiguan Hou Gao who didn't know how to answer, he also received Huo Quai's order at that time, and when Zhao Ponu was searching for the assassin, he was carefully checking the assassination scene.

"What two kinds of people?" Huo Quzhi's eyes widened slightly, and Gao Buzhi asked.

"One is rangers like Guo Xie and Zhu Anshi, and the other is ...... It's the people in the dark pavilion...... Gao Buzhi said what he thought, but when he said the latter's 'dark pavilion', he also seemed to have some scruples.

In the Western Han Dynasty, a special group of people appeared, that is, rangers, and even Shi Maqian wrote a "Biography of the Rangers" for these people when compiling the "Historical Records", which shows how large and influential this group was in the Western Han Dynasty. However, although this group has a chivalrous character, what they do is bullying the weak and bullying the township, and some of them are even lawless, careless of human life, and will also do some business of revenge and murder. And these rangers are not a single person, behind every famous ranger represents a group, and even many rangers have many doormen. However, because most of these people have official backgrounds, it is difficult to eradicate them for a while.

"Hmph, no matter who it is this time, I want him to fight with his life. You two will check on me at once, and all the famous rangers will find out what they have done in the past two days. As for the matter of the 'Dark Pavilion', you don't have to worry about it, as long as it is really them who did it, Ben Hou will personally handle it. Huo Quzhi clenched his fists tightly and began to order. However, he first asked Zhao Ponu and Gao Buzhi to rule out the possibility of the ranger's assassination, and if it was determined that it was not the work of these Chang'an rangers, he would personally deal with this mysterious 'dark pavilion'.

"The last general commands!" Zhao Ponu and Gao Buzhi both received orders. Huo Quzhi didn't have anything to explain anymore, so he waved his hand and motioned for the two to leave.

After the two henchmen left, Huo Quzhi slowly let go of his fists. Then he stared out the window and said to himself, "Dark Pavilion...... If you really ignore the rules, Benhou will definitely want you to keep your chickens and dogs! ”
