Chapter Eighty-Eight: Mutation

"What are you?" Even with Dongfang Shuo's wisdom, because he obviously saw that the woman who came was Li Yan, but Huo Guang kept saying that this was the maid Huo Xian.

"Xian'er has seen Mr. Dongfang!" Li Yanying in Dongfang Shuo's eyes bowed, and she also called herself Xian'er, which made Dongfang Shuo even more confused.

"Xian'er was originally a slave and maid in the General's Mansion, and later her brother was appointed to set up her own door, so she followed her brother out of the General's Mansion. A few days ago, her brother gave her and another maid Lan'er the surname Huo. Huo Guang told Dongfang Shuo the origin of Huo Xian's name, and Huo Guang completely regarded Li Yan as Huo Xian.

"Hehe, interesting...... Looks like I'm really drunk? Dongfang Shuo really didn't know what Huo Guang had in mind, and he himself doubted whether he was really drunk.

"Some people in this world are really drunk, and some are just pretending to be drunk. Mr. is wise and unparalleled in the world, how can he be really drunk? Huo Guang stood up, held the table with one hand, walked two steps closer to Dongfang Shuo, and said meaningfully.

Huo Guang's words seemed to be motivated, but Dongfang Shuo could feel that he meant something else, and at this moment, Dongfang Shuo could also sense that Huo Guang and Li Yan were not joking.

Tonight, Huo Guang made an appointment to come to Dongfang Shuo, and specially arranged for Li Yan to appear as Huo Xian, naturally to solve the hidden danger of Dongfang Shuo, because only Dongfang Shuo was left who had seen Li Yan and could talk to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Chang'an Ling is making fun of me, the four words unparalleled in the world, how can I be Dongfang Shuo? How can you afford it! Dongfang Shuo laughed at himself, although he also thought that he was unparalleled in his talents, but more than ten years of officialdom had already polished his initial ambition. Dongfang Shuo knew that if he didn't encounter any major turning points in his life, he would be a harmonious minister in the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty until he died.

Huo Guang saw Dongfang Shuo's expression in his eyes, and comforted him: "No, sir, don't be presumptuous. Mr. now just lacks the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but with his talent and ability, he will definitely be able to accomplish a lot in the future. ”

These few words can be said to be right in Dongfang Shuo's heart. In the past ten years, Dongfang Shuo has been by the side of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although he is also an enviable close minister of the Son of Heaven, but Dongfang Shuo knows that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is just doing some errands with himself. Even Sima Xiangru once sent an envoy to the southwest, but Dongfang Shuo never even had a chance.

Dongfang Shuo was silent, he was also very helpless in his heart, no matter how he behaved, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't reuse himself, it was no problem, and Dongfang Shuo was a person with no background and no backing, and there was no place to use it if he wanted to.

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's mood changes, Huo Guang nodded slightly, all of this was expected by him, and it was also his intention. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" Huo Guang is to buy Dongfang Shuo's heart in this way and solve the possible crisis of the Li Yan incident.

"I have mentioned Mr. several times in front of my brother, and my brother also admires Mr. very much, and he said that as long as Mr. is willing, he will find an opportunity for him to make contributions at the right time." Huo Guang knew that the heat in the atmosphere was almost over, and finally said the key point at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Guang's words fell, Dongfang Shuo's eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Huo Guang, and the whole person seemed to have a lot more energy. Huo Guang's words are undoubtedly sending a signal to Dongfang Shuo that Huo Qubing accepts him, maybe Dongfang Shuo does have the high level of a literati, but he is also an official with ideals and ambitions, even a high-ranking and powerful person like Yizong wants to take refuge in Huo Quai, how can Dongfang Shuo not be moved?

As Huo Guang said before, Dongfang Shuo just lacks opportunities, and once Huo Qubing accepts him, then there will be many opportunities. It may be a little difficult to pay homage to the prime minister, but it is very likely to go further. Of course, Dongfang Shuo knew that Huo Qubing couldn't really appreciate his own talents, all of this was Huo Guang's meaning, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that it was enough to borrow Huo Quzhi's momentum.

"Thank you Chang'an Ling, I can't repay Dongfang Shuo for such a great favor!" Dongfang Shuo got up and said to Huo Guang, the opportunity is in front of him, and Dongfang Shuo is no longer hypocritical. In the past, he might have pretended to be high, but the appearance of Huo Guang and Sima Xiangru's death made him change his mood a little. Maybe this is also some small changes caused by Huo Guang, a traverser.

Huo Guang hurriedly raised Dongfang Shuo's hand, and said with a heavy squeeze: "Eh! Isn't that too much of an outlier, sir? We are friends, so why do we need to see each other like this? Huo Guang knew that the current situation was basically supported by Dongfang Shuo, compared to the kind of bridge in the Three Kingdoms where a few words could be used to receive a strategist and a fierce general, Huo Guang felt that he still lost face to the traverser, you must know that Huo Guang has traveled back to the Western Han Dynasty for nearly two years, and his starting point is not low, but now it is considered a celebrity in the real sense, and this progress is indeed a little speechless!

"I've always thought you're different, but now I'm realizing what's different!" Dongfang Shuo met Huo Guang's gaze, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Dongfang Shuo also has a feeling of confidant to Huo Guang, the age of the two is not a good friend, in fact, the age gap between Dongfang Shuo and Huo Guang is similar to that of him and Sima.

"Oh? Sir is still the first to say that I am different, and I would also like to know what difference I am in the eyes of him? Huo Guang also said with some curiosity.

Dongfang Shuo returned to his seat, took a sip of the wine bottle and Huo Guang, and then said: "You have a maturity that does not match your age, your performance is not what this age should be, you are not like you!" ”

Dongfang Shuo's last sentence made Huo Guang's face change slightly, but then he deliberately laughed and said: "Haha, Mr. is really humorous, who else can I be like if I'm not like me?" ”

Huo Guang felt a little uneasy in his heart, crossing this was the biggest secret in Huo Guang's heart, but Dongfang Shuo's words just now seemed to be about to point to this problem. Maybe Dongfang Shuo just said casually unintentionally, but Huo Guang's heart couldn't be calm.

"Hehe, joke joke. But don't call me Mr. anymore, if you don't dislike it, just call me Dongfang, or Man Qian! Dongfang Shuo arched his hand and smiled, he was already a relative of Wei Huo, and it would be a little arrogant to let Mr. Huo Guang call him.

"In that case, then Brother Manqian will also call me Ah Guang in the future." Huo Guang also arched his hand and said, the difference in titles throughout the ages is directly manifested in the intimacy of the relationship, and when the relationship is in place, the title naturally cannot be seen.

Dongfang Shuo nodded in agreement, and then raised the wine bottle again and saluted Huo Guangyi. This toast also shows that Huo Guang's arrangement has come to a successful conclusion tonight.

Tonight, Huo Guang and Dongfang Shuo were in a good mood, and their interest was also very high. At this time, there is really some urge to drink under the moon and speak freely. But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves and neighing in the Hou Mansion, and it seemed that a team of people and horses were leaving the Hou Mansion quickly.

"Xian'er, go and ask what's going on?" Huo Guang didn't intuitively feel good about this sudden voice, so he asked Li Yan to ask about the situation, and until this time he still called Li Yan Xian'er.

Dongfang Shuo was also thoughtful, but he was a guest after all, so he just held the wine bottle and took a sip of wine.

Soon Li Yan hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, probably in a hurry, and her name for Huo Guang changed to 'Ah Guang'.

"Ah Guang, it's not good. I heard that the people of Tingwei's Mansion arrested Yiguanhou overnight, and Hou Ye went straight to Tingwei's Mansion after learning about it just now. Li Yan knew from the chief manager Huo Tong that the sound of horses' hooves just now was Huo Qu's movement when he left the mansion, she had already regarded herself as a member of the Hou Mansion, and she knew a little bit about Yiguan Hou Gao, so she naturally understood what it meant for Yiguan Hou to be arrested!

Huo Guang also stood up when he heard this, and he was no longer as calm as he was just now. He gently slapped the wine bottle aside and whispered, "Why so fast?" ”

Huo Guang did feel a little surprised, not that Gao didn't know how to be arrested, but that the time for being arrested came too quickly. Huo Qu's illness only mentioned this matter a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to really start in just a few days. With such a sudden move, it is estimated that even Huo Quzhi was a little caught off guard.

"The Marquis of Yiguan is a liehou, and if the court captain wants to arrest him, he must have His Majesty's will, and it seems that this time it is His Majesty's will. Ah Guang, we have to find out why Yiguanhou was arrested as soon as possible so that we can deal with it reasonably! Dongfang Shuo also put down the wine bottle, he didn't expect that as soon as he took refuge in Wei Huo's relatives, Yiguan Hou Gao was arrested without knowing him, does this indicate that the glory of Wei Huo's relatives is declining? However, Dongfang Shuo was not a person from the Qin Dynasty, and his first reaction was how to deal with this sudden change.

"Well, what Brother Manqian said is reasonable. I think my brother should go to Tingwei's Mansion for the same reason, but tonight I am afraid you and I will not be able to drink again! Huo Guang nodded and said with some regret.

"It's a long time coming, and I'll go back tonight. By the way, let's see if I can get some news. Dongfang Shuo gave up, and it was indeed not suitable to stay at this time.

"That's a lot of work!" It is impossible for Huo Guang to keep him any longer, and Dongfang Shuo must have his own news channels at any time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is around, so it is indeed a good idea to let Dongfang Shuo help inquire.

The Champion Hou Mansion was destined to be sleepless tonight, and Huo Guang did not rest after sending Dongfang Shuo away, he waited in the mansion for Huo Qu to return from illness. After two hours, Huo Quai's illness finally returned. However, Huo Guang could clearly feel that Huo Quzhi was in a very bad mood, and even a little angry!

"Brother, how's the situation?" Huo Guang greeted Huo Qu's illness and asked.

"Come in with me, talk inside." Huo Quzhi waved his hand and walked past Huo Guang towards the inner hall.

When he returned to the inner hall, there were only two brothers in the house, Huo Quzhi took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Things are very bad, someone reported that Gao didn't know the battle of Mobei and lied to the slave leader, and now the accompanying official in charge of checking military merits has committed suicide in fear of crime, and now there is no proof of death, it seems that this matter has been planned for a long time!" ”

"Did the official in charge of checking military merits really commit suicide?" Huo Guang doesn't have to think much to know that this is too strange, you must know that the Battle of Mobei has been over for a year, and the imperial court has been rewarded for so long, it stands to reason that it is impossible to find out these things again, but there are still people who go to check the military merit level that Gao does not know, this is too obvious.

"The corpse has been controlled by the Tingwei Mansion, and his family members are gone!" Huo Quzhi said with a cold gaze.

Huo Guang's eyelids couldn't help jumping when he heard this, this was simply a standard murderous drama. The key is that as soon as this official who checked military merits died, he was even more convinced of the crime of Gao Ignorance, and even at this time, Huo Qubing didn't need to check any military merit records, because at this time, it would definitely be a problem with Gao Ignorance.

"Do you want to talk to the Huhou to come and discuss?" Huo Guang knew that the people behind the scenes this time were going to completely kill Gao Buzhi and cut off one of Huo Quzhi's arms, at this time, Huo Quzhi's generals were estimated to be in danger, if it was not handled well, not only would Huo Quzhi's forces be seriously damaged, but also a heavy blow to his prestige.
