"Ah Guang, you seem to be in a bad mood? What's going on? Walking out of Sima Xiangru's house, Li Yan asked Huo Guang with a concerned face.

Huo Guang put Sima Xiangru's book in his arms, and walked aimlessly with Li Yan towards the outside of the village. At the same time, he said as he walked: "I just sighed at the circumstances of life, Sima Xiangru was also beautiful, but you see that he was so downtrodden before he died." I wonder how this man has to live to be perfect. ”

"How can everything go well in life? In fact, Uncle Sima and his aunt, I knew their stories a long time ago, at least he has something to envy others. I believe that Ah Guang, you will definitely be able to pay homage to the prime minister in the future! "The love story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun is also quite famous in this era, and Li Yan did know it a long time ago. As a woman, it is difficult for her to understand Huo Guang's thoughts, in his opinion, Huo Guang's future achievement is to be a marquis and worship the prime minister, which is already very remarkable.

"Worship the prime minister? Hehe, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can cut off more than a hundred marquis titles at a time with a golden rule. There were more than ten prime ministers in the entire Han Wu Dynasty, and almost all of them died well, and even many ministers during the Han Wu Emperor period committed some things, and before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made an order, these people committed suicide. Huo Guang thought in his heart that the feudal marquis seemed to be beautiful, but in fact, he was just living in the shadow of the imperial power, but he didn't tell Li Yan about this.

"Yan'er, come with me for a walk outside!" Huo Guang didn't want to dwell on this matter all the time, anyway, it was still early, so it was better to go around.

Seeing Huo Guang and Li Yan walking out of the village side by side, the seventh and eighth looked at each other beside the carriage, and both of them had some hesitation in their eyes.

"This ...... To go or not to go? The eighth asked the seventh hesitantly.

"Let's wait first, why don't we go after half an hour if the second master doesn't come back?" Lao Qi was also very hesitant, although Huo Quzhi's order to the two of them was to protect Huo Guang with all their might, and neither of them had ever left Huo Quzhi half a step before, but this time the two hesitated because of Li Yan's existence. Both of them knew in their hearts that following Huo Guang at this time would make Huo Guang very disgusted, and as subordinates, there were some things that should be avoided.

In the end, the seventh and eighth still decided to wait and follow if Huo Guang hadn't come back yet. And Li Yan took Huo Guang to the hillside behind the village, because Huo Guang had traveled through the Western Han Dynasty for nearly a year, and he had really never been so relaxed, so the more he looked, the more interested he became, and he left the village far away unconsciously.

"Ah Guang, we'll go into the mountain further ahead, it's not too early, let's go back?" The two walked on the path between the mountains and wilderness, because the road was narrow, and I don't know when Huo Guang had already held Li Yan's hand, and from time to time he had to help him. However, the two also walked a long distance, and there was a mountain forest in front of them. During this period, there were not only wild beasts in the mountains, but it was also easy to get lost, so Li Yan proposed to return.

"Well, then let's go back, thank you so much Yan'er for letting you stay with me for so long today." Huo Guang's mood was much better than coming out of Sima Xiangru's house, and the deeper he interacted with Li Yan, the higher his favorability became.

"You're polite to me again, didn't you say we're friends? If you really want to be polite, then others will definitely say that I, Li Yan, am climbing your Huo Gongzi! Li Yan pretended to be angry and said.

"Yan'er taught me a lesson, but I was too superficial!" Huo Guang muttered and said, it is true that he is still polite to Li Yan now, but he seems to be angry.

"Ah Guang, let's eat at my house at noon. Yesterday my brother went to the city to buy a big, and today my family is slaughtering it. Li Yan talked to Huo Guang while walking, and the Bi mentioned in this era was actually the most common pig in later generations. But listening to Li Yan's tone, their family bought a whole pig yesterday, which is a very luxurious thing in this era.

"Okay, why don't we go faster, I haven't seen how to slaughter it yet!" Huo Guang readily agreed, anyway, the money for Li Yan's family to buy pigs was still from Sang Hongyang.

As soon as Huo Guang and Li Yan returned the same way, they saw a farmer carrying a load of firewood walking in their direction on the way here. In this era, firewood is an indispensable thing at home, and it is not surprising to meet such a person in the mountains.

The two of them didn't care about this woodcutter, but as they got closer and closer to this person, Huo Guang suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Hey, this uncle is so strange, why have you never seen it? But it looks like it's coming out of the village again. Just when Huo Guang was puzzled, Li Yan suddenly said to herself, and Li Yan's words only aggravated the doubts in Huo Guang's heart.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to this woodcutter, Huo Guang suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. He casually glanced back at the path into the mountain behind him.

"Yan'er, is there anyone in this mountain?" Huo Guang suddenly asked.

"No, even if the people in the village go in, they may get lost, how can there be a home?" Li Yan replied in the affirmative, and this time Huo Guang finally figured out that something was wrong. Because there is no one in the mountain, there is no need to pick firewood into the mountain, and the normal situation should be to pick firewood from the mountain to the outside. And since this person is not from Li Yan's village, even if he is from the mountains, he will not be able to pick firewood from outside the mountains, because there is no reason in this world to live in the mountains and pick firewood from outside the mountains!

And at this moment, the oncoming woodcutter suddenly sped up his speed and approached Huo Guang and Li Yan quickly. The person on the opposite side suddenly accelerated, Huo Guang and Li Yan both subconsciously stopped, Li Yan looked at the comer a little blankly, and Huo Guang felt a huge dangerous aura coming.

"Not good." Huo Guang secretly screamed in his heart, and at this time, the woodcutter had already thrown away the firewood on his shoulder, and pulled out a short sword more than two feet long from the pyre. Now that the woodcutter's intentions have been revealed, he is clearly an assassin.

The woodcutter only had a breath or two from showing his short sword to approaching Huo Guang and Li Yan. Huo Guang subconsciously pushed Li Yan away with a palm in front of him, because Huo Guang knew that no one would send an assassin to assassinate the current Li Yan, so the assassin's target could only be himself.

"Yan'er, run." Huo Guang pushed Li Yan into the grass on the side of the road, and shouted loudly. And sure enough, as Huo Guang expected, the assassin didn't care about Li Yan at all, and the short sword in his hand stabbed straight into Huo Guang's chest.

Under Huo Guang's crisis, his body bent and rolled to the side. At this time, he didn't have time to think about who would send an assassin to assassinate him, you must know that assassins are not so easy to invite in this era, because the early Western Han Dynasty still has an obvious Warring States legacy, and professional assassins are not people who move bricks, and not everyone can be invited.

This instinctive dodge was able to dodge the assassin's first sword. However, this assassin didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't even make extra moves, so he stabbed Huo Guang again. With such a professional action, it is even more certain that this is a professional assassin, and every sword of this person is aimed at Huo Guang's vital point, which is to really take Huo Guang's life.

"Ah Guang ......" Li Yan had never experienced such a formation, and by the time she reacted, she was completely confused, just shouting Huo Guang's name in fear.

"Leave me alone, go back and call someone." Huo Guang knew that he was definitely not the opponent of this assassin, and he had to dodge with all his strength to avoid this person's assassination. And at this moment, this person will definitely not let go of himself to find Li Yan, only pin his hope on Li Yan, as long as he calls the seventh and eighth children, he will be safe.

Huo Guang picked up a dead branch by his side, and danced the dead branch, although it was impossible to rely on a dead branch to fight against the iron sword in the assassin's hand, but this time it missed the direction of the short sword a lot. At this time, Li Yan finally calmed down, and hurriedly got up and ran in the direction of the village, shouting as she ran: "Come on, help......"

The assassin didn't succeed twice in a row, and when he heard Li Yan's shouting, he immediately frowned, and at this moment he also subconsciously glanced back at Li Yan, but Li Yan had already run a distance, and it was impossible for him to give up assassinating Huo Guang to chase Li Yan. However, the assassin's brief distraction gave Huo Guang a chance, and finally let Huo Guang find a chance to get up.

Even Huo Guang, who stood up, had no intention of fighting the assassins, he also ran as fast as possible. Of course, this assassin did not intend to give up just yet, and chased after Huo Guang with his sword raised. Because the physical fitness of the two was too far apart, Huo Guang had not yet run ten meters away, when he felt that Mang was stabbing in his back, and he knew that it must be the assassin's short sword that was about to stab him.

Huo Guang didn't dare to be stabbed like this, so in desperation, he could only turn around and stop, and once again waved the dead branch in his hand out. However, this time the assassin had already prepared, and with a sharp cut of the short sword in his hand, he cut off the dead branch in Huo Guang's hand.

"Stop the thief." Huo Guang was holding a small branch in his hand, and he was already disheartened in his heart, but at this moment, there was a sudden loud shout behind him, Huo Guang never felt that Lao Ba's voice was so beautiful.

Because Huo Guang and Li Yan had been away from the village for a while, Lao Qi and Lao Ba came up along the direction where the two of them walked out of caution, and the two of them were still some distance away from here, but Li Yan's voice was too loud, and the mountains and wilderness were relatively quiet, and the sound traveled far away. As soon as they heard Li Yan calling for help, the seventh and eighth rushed over.

As soon as the assassin heard Lao Ba's voice, he knew that it was not easy to deal with, but at this moment he was very close to Huo Guang, and Huo Guang had no way out. He used his strength in his hand and stabbed a sword at Huo Guang's chest. This sword came too fast, and Huo Guang couldn't avoid it at all.

"Huh?" The assassin stabbed his sword into Huo Guang's chest, but just as the tip of the sword touched his chest, the assassin couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise, because he felt that his short sword was actually blocked by something.

Huo Guang also subconsciously glanced down at his chest, he saw that a pool of blood was rapidly soaking out of his chest, and then a feeling of dizziness suddenly hit, and then Huo Guang didn't know anything......
