Chapter Forty-Eight: Premeditated? Coincidental?
In his consciousness, Huo Guang felt that he was wrapped in the pitch-black sky, and he lost control of his body in this darkness. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Fa" It seems that everything in the world has disappeared, Huo Guang suddenly has a feeling in his consciousness, this situation is either new life or death!
There should only be one such feeling in a person's life, and that is at the end of life. However, Huo Guang is an exception, because a year ago, Huo Guang fell from a cliff, and finally had such a feeling, that time Huo Guang thought that his life was over, but after waking up, he found that he had crossed into Pingyang County, Hedong County, Western Han Dynasty.
"It seems that this time I am really going to die......" Huo Guang's consciousness thought so, but he didn't have any regrets, after all, the extra years of the Western Han Dynasty had already been picked up, and it was nothing to die again now.
"Ah Guang, wake up...... I can't sleep......" Huo Guang's consciousness gradually blurred, but just when his consciousness was about to fall silent, it seemed that a hand reached into the dark canopy and grabbed the last bit of Huo Guang's consciousness, and at the same time, Huo Guang felt a weak voice outside the canopy calling for him.
It was such a voice that made Huo Guang's shaky consciousness always maintain the last bit of clarity. I don't know how long it took, Huo Guang's consciousness seemed to be dreaming, and there seemed to be many noisy sounds coming from outside the dark sky that wrapped him.
There was the sound of running, the sound of carriages, the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the sound of wooden doors being slammed open. However, these voices were all muffled by an angry and majestic voice.
"Hmph, that's really unreasonable. Someone, take my soldier talisman and order Zhao Ponu to lead the troops to search for Maoling, and find out this assassin for me no matter what. With this voice, Huo Guang also heard the sound of a long sword coming out of its sheath, and then the long sword seemed to be thrown to the ground because of the anger of its master. The sword thrust into the wooden floor, shuddering and humming.
"It's my brother's voice...... Huo Guang heard it, it should be Huo Quai's voice just now. I don't know why, as soon as Huo Quai's voice appeared, Huo Guang felt that the canopy wrapped around him seemed to be shaken a lot thinner by the sound, and then a gap appeared on the canopy, and a trace of light shone into his consciousness from the gap.
"Doctor, Ah Guang will be fine, right?" Huo Guang's consciousness became clearer and clearer, and this time Huo Guang heard Li Yan's voice again.
"Lord Huo is really blessed with a great fate, if this sword is stabbed one more point, it will endanger the heart, and then Bian Que will be unable to return to heaven when he is alive. Speaking of which, it was this book that Jane saved his life. Huo Guang's consciousness gradually became clear, although he hadn't opened his eyes yet, he could already feel what was happening around him.
Huo Quzhi also targeted the blood-stained book, and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and was about to pick up the booklet to see what kind of booklet would be collected by Huo Guang, the door was suddenly opened, and then the head of the Hou Mansion ran in in a panic. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
"Master Hou, it's not a good ......thing," the chief manager said breathlessly, as the head of the champion Hou Mansion, he can also be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but at this moment, he also looks extremely flustered, which shows that something really happened.
Huo Quzhi frowned, Huo Guang's assassination was already a big deal for him, could there be anything more serious than this?
"Just now there was news from the Changping Marquis Mansion, saying that the general was going to Shanglin Yuan to inspect the 'Period Gate Army' early this morning, but as soon as he left the mansion, he was injured by Lang Zhongling Li Dang, and now he is being treated in the mansion." The head of the Hou Mansion panicked and told a big news, which suddenly made Huo Quai's face change drastically.
"What? Prepare the horse, you take care of Ah Guang, I'll go to my uncle's first. Huo Quzhi put the book in his hand beside Huo Guang's bed and said to Li Yan. Although he didn't know who Li Yan was, seeing that Li Yan was so nervous Huo Guang, he knew that the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary. And Wei Qing was injured, which is really a big deal, and the key is that it was his subordinates who wanted to kill his uncle. While Huo Quzhi was worried about Wei Qing's injury, he also hated Li Kang in his heart.
"How can it be so fast? And today I also encountered an assassination, is this a coincidence or a premeditated attempt? Huo Guang also heard the news of Wei Qing's attack, and his heart was like a stormy wave at the moment. Although Huo Guang knew that there was such a thing as Li Dare injuring Wei Qing in history, Huo Guang never expected it to come so quickly, and it was on the same day as his own assassination. Originally, Huo Guangha was still thinking about whether he could avoid this scene, but now it seems that his thoughts are superfluous. ( Pingnan Romance)
At this moment, because of the attack on the great general Wei Qing, the entire Chang'an City is surging. Although after Li Kang attacked Wei Qing, he was captured by the general's personal guards, and Wei Qing did not let his subordinates make a noise, but only detained Li Kang. But after all, such a big thing, and it happened outside the Hou Mansion of Changping, at that time, more than a dozen generals and subordinates were waiting for Wei Qing to go to Shanglin Yuan outside the Hou Mansion, and this matter quickly spread throughout the upper echelons of Chang'an.
"The general was attacked, and the one who wanted to kill the general was Lang Zhongling Li Kang." Such news made the entire Chang'an City filled with a tense atmosphere, but the assassination of Huo Guang was completely ignored.
At the north gate of Weiyang Palace, an inner attendant walked towards the 'Qingliang Palace'. Although the chamberlain still tried his best to maintain the pace of walking, the speed was no different from trotting, and there were rules in the palace that he could not run or ride a horse, so the chamberlain did not dare to run.
Looking at the Qingliang Hall not far in front, the chamberlain pulled his sleeve and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth and walked up the steps quickly. The inner attendant walked into the Qingliang Palace, walked out of a distance, and arrived at the inner hall where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was located, and the inner attendant knelt outside the door of the inner hall, trying to calm down and breathe.
"Your Majesty, I just got a report. Half an hour ago, the general and his subordinate officers were about to go to Shanglin Yuan to inspect the period gate, but they were attacked by Lang Zhongling Li Dang outside the Changping Hou Mansion, and now they are being treated in the Hou Mansion. The chamberlain did not dare to delay, and hurriedly reported the news he got to Emperor Wu of Han. ( Pingnan Romance)
At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han was eating chilled pears with a jade bowl, but he didn't want the chamberlain to say such news. As soon as he heard such news, Emperor Wu of Han also showed a look of surprise on his face, and even the jade bowl in his hand shook violently, almost falling to the ground.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put the jade bowl heavily on the table in front of him, and then stood up violently and said, "Let's go, go to the Changping Marquis Mansion." Saying that, Emperor Wu of Han had already set off and walked outside the hall, and the attendants hurriedly followed behind.
"Wait a minute, is this news from the General's people?" Emperor Wu of Han walked out of the inner hall and stopped beside the attendant who was passing the message, and then asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, it was the internal history that came to report it. The general took down Lang Zhongling on the spot, but the general strictly ordered his subordinates to remain silent for the time being, and it is said that Lang Zhongling is still detained in the general's mansion. The waiter who passed the word honestly explained.
"Then do you know why Li Dang attacked the general?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty showed a thoughtful look, and did not rush to the Changping Marquis Mansion anymore, but began to care about the original situation.
"I heard that when Lang Zhongling attacked the general, he shouted that the hatred of killing his father is not shared!"
"Huh? Knowing that, send someone to secretly go to the Changping Marquis Mansion to check on the general's injury, and don't make a noise about this matter. Spread my will and tell Yizong and Zhang Tang to let the Inner History Mansion and the Imperial History Observatory not interfere. Emperor Wu of Han turned around and returned to Qingliang Palace, and actually changed his original plan, and at the same time, he also made the same decision as Wei Qing, suppressing this matter first, as if it had not happened.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood that Li Kang must have thought that Li Guang's death was indirectly caused by Wei Qing's deliberate misery of Li Guang. But the reason for this is only understood by Wei Qing and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and this arrangement of Li Guang is actually the meaning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if it is really calculated, it is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who killed Li Guang. And Wei Qing is carrying this black pot for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time he can't bear to implicate Li Kang again because of this matter, you must know that the assassination of the general of the dynasty is enough to implicate the three clans, not only Li Dare wants to die, but even Prime Minister Li Cai can't get out of it, if it is seriously investigated, it will be another turmoil in the government and the opposition.
Wei Qing deliberately suppressed this matter, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also happy to be a favor. And although Li Dang committed the following crimes, it was to avenge his father, which is understandable. I have to say that in this era when the legacy of the Warring States period still exists, the people in this period do have clear grievances!
By the time Huo Quai's illness arrived at the Changping Marquis Mansion, there was nothing unusual outside the mansion, but the gate of the Changping Marquis Mansion was closed and all visits were refused. Of course, no matter how the Changping Marquis Mansion refused visitors, it was impossible not to let Huo Qubing enter, and when Huo Qubing came to the inner courtyard, more than a dozen generals and subordinates were still guarding the courtyard, anxiously waiting for Wei Qing's results.
"Meet the Hussar General." When these people saw Huo Quai's arrival, they all hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Although these people also belong to Wei Huo's foreign relatives group, they are from the family of General Wei Qing, and these people usually have nothing to do with Huo Quai.
"Well, there's no need to be polite." Huo Quzhi responded casually, and walked past everyone into Wei Qing's room. These subordinates couldn't go in, but no one dared to stop Huo from getting sick.
Walking into the room, Huo Qubing saw that the three Wei brothers were all standing by the bedside, and a doctor was bandaging Wei Qing's wounds, judging from the position of the bandage, Wei Qing was injured in the chest, which showed that Li Dare also really wanted to take Wei Qing's life when he made a move. At this moment, Huo Quzhi's heart was already full of strong killing intent, not only because of Wei Qing in front of him, but also Huo Guang, who was still in a coma, two close relatives were assassinated at almost the same time, completely exceeding the limit of Huo Quzhi's tolerance.
"Uncle, how's the injury?" Huo Quzhi forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and first walked to the side of the bed and picked up Wei Qing's hand and said with concern.
"I can't die from this injury, but my uncle is indeed old, if it was a few years ago, Li Kang's knife wouldn't have been close at all." Wei Qing said with a little pale face, but he was not angry, but there was a hint of joke.
"Hmph, this Li Dang is really tired of life, I'm going to cut him." Huo Quzhi saw that the white cloth on Wei Qing's chest was still soaked with blood, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he immediately got up to kill Li Kang.
"Don't get sick." Although Wei Qing was injured, his movements were still agile, and before Huo Qubing had completely turned around, Wei Qing reached out and grabbed Huo Quai.
"Son, it's okay for my father. Your brothers go out and let all the adults go back to their homes, and do not tell them not to keep their eyes on this matter. You all go out, I have something to say to your cousin. Wei Qing pulled Huo to get sick, and at the same time ordered Wei Ling to dismiss everyone.
