At the Zhuo Family Wine Workshop, a man looked at the child in front of him with a smile: "After Huo Jiu died, no one knew that you were here." ”

The boy kept his mouth closed, but there was already fire in his eyes, and he restrained himself, he clenched his fists, and his palms were wet with sweat.

The man looked at him, his eyes fell on Xiao Tong's clenched fists, and the man laughed: "I didn't expect you to have compassion, it's rare; Huo Jiu couldn't imagine that it was thanks to you until he died, but it's a pity! ”

The anger in the boy's eyes gradually faded, and he understood that the man was trying to provoke him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a mocking smile.

"It's just an inconsequential person, what does it matter to me whether I live or die?"

After speaking, he slowly sat down on the futon, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, like an old monk in his meditation, and did not say a word.

The man laughed again, and when he finished laughing, he scolded viciously, "Shen Yuan, you monster. ”

Shen Yuan still didn't move, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Ten days later, Huo Roufeng arrived in the capital as scheduled.

She didn't come back for half a year, and the capital was still full of flowers as when she left, and it was even more prosperous and lively than half a year ago, because of the great victory in the northwest.

Although King Rong has not been caught, in the eyes of the government and the opposition, King Rong's rebellion has subsided.

The streets and alleys of teahouses and restaurants are talking about how brilliant the battle of the northwest was, how brave the five generals were in Zhanwu, and even rumors in the market that as early as 18 years ago, there were stars out of the southeast, and 18 years later, the stars in the northwest sky reappeared, and the stars were full of brilliance.

Zhanhuai is from the Fujian Minguo Mansion, Fujian is in the southeast.

The most critical battle to quell the rebellion was in the northwest.

And Zhanhuai is only eighteen years old.

Fame must be made as soon as possible, Zhan Huai made great contributions at a young age, and his exploits can be recorded in history and will remain in history forever.

Of course, the most talked about is Zhanhuai's illustrious background and handsome youth, which is enough to be compared with several famous generals who became famous at a young age in the history books.

As for the matter of stabbing Guo Yong, kidnapping Huo Yan, and killing Jinyiwei in Tongzhou, no one has mentioned it anymore.

Huo Roufeng has not yet entered the capital, all he heard was Zhanhuai's heroic deeds, in the mouths of those storytellers, Zhanhuai has the courage of heavenly soldiers and generals, which is even more exaggerated than the female general's strength to lift a thousand catties of locks.

However, Huo Roufeng likes to listen, since she arrived in Beizhili, if she hadn't missed the hour because she often listened to books, she could have arrived in the capital a few days earlier.

But the news that surprised Huo Roufeng the most was that Zhanhuai was going to sacrifice prisoners three miles away from the capital on the ninth day of the ninth month of September.

When he first heard the news, Huo Roufeng was taken aback, the imperial court actually ordered Zhanhuai to return to the court, shouldn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue and cut the grass and eradicate the roots?

But after thinking about it, Huo Roufeng understood.

This must have been the Queen Mother's idea.

Huo Roufeng chuckled, since Guo Yong's death, the emperor has been crushed to death by the Queen Mother again, the reason why the Queen Mother wants to keep King Rong, Huo Roufeng doesn't think it's out of the love of mother and son, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother wants to use King Rong to contain the emperor!

It's a risky move.

But the Queen Mother did it anyway.

Huo Roufeng suddenly wanted to laugh, Shen Huichong, who was in the imperial mausoleum, probably didn't expect that more than a hundred years later, the country he had tried by all means might eventually be cut off into the hands of women.

The Queen Mother's risky move has to see if there is such luck.

Huo Roufeng changed into women's clothes outside the city, changed to a sedan chair, and the sedan chair entered Shuangjing Hutong, did not stop, and was carried into the gate of Huo's house.

After getting off the sedan chair, Huo Roufeng rushed into the courtyard of Mrs. Huo, and when she heard the news, Mrs. Huo was bumped into her arms, Huo Roufeng hugged her sister, and buried her head in her sister's arms like when she was a child, she was only a little shorter than Mrs. Huo, and she had to bend over.

Mrs. Huo said angrily: "Look how old you are, you still have to be coquettish, go into the house quickly, let my sister see how much taller you have grown." ”

Entering the house, Mrs. Huo pulled Huo Roufeng to the door frame, there were several scratches on the door frame, and Huo Roufeng was three inches taller than the top scratch.

Mama Fan smiled: "Ouch, it seems that Guangdong's water and soil are good, Ninth Master...... The Nine Ladies are growing taller and faster than in the capital. ”

Huo Roufeng said: "I don't know if Guangdong's water and soil are good, but there are a lot of delicious ones." ”

As soon as she looked up, she saw that Mrs. Huo was looking at her, Huo Roufeng was a little uncomfortable by her sister, touched her face, and asked, "Sister, do I have flowers on my face?" ”

Mrs. Huo said with a smile: "You don't have a flower on your face, it's you who have become a flower." ”

Mama Fan also said: "Isn't it, if you meet outside, the slaves and maids will almost dare not admit it, and the little lady in the entire capital, I'm afraid there is no better than the nine ladies in the capital." ”

"Mama Fan, are you saying that my sister is not doing well?" Huo Roufeng asked slyly.

Without waiting for Mama Fan to speak, Mrs. Huo poked her forehead with her finger and said with a smile: "How old are you, how old is your sister, how can you compare with you little ladies?" ”

Huo Roufeng covered her ears with her hands and hummed, leaning on Mrs. Huo like a boneless, looking at her sister Yaqing's sideburns and her broken face, Mrs. Huo said helplessly to Mama Fan: "Look, you just can't boast, you will be a person next year, and you will be the same as when you were a child." ”

After sticking with her sister for a while, Huo Roufeng asked, "Is my brother in the capital?" ”

The relationship between her and Huo Qingzhou, Mrs. Huo has long known, Huo Roufeng did not hide it from Mrs. Huo, and she and Huo Qingzhou's origins were all told to Mrs. Huo.

Mrs. Huo said: "Zhanhuai wants to sacrifice prisoners outside the city on the ninth day of the ninth month, the imperial court has sent a number of officials to answer in Zhending, Huo Xiao Zhuangyuan is among them, he left the day before yesterday, and he will come back on the ninth day of the ninth month, and when he leaves, he will send you two boxes of things, saying that you asked him to find it, it is in your house, and you can see it when you go back in a while." ”

Hearing Mrs. Huo mention Zhanhuai's return to Beijing, Huo Roufeng laughed: "I didn't capture King Rong alive, what prisoner can I offer?" I don't know whose idea it was, Zhanhuai is not a person who takes credit from women and children. ”

Mrs. Huo said: "I also don't think that Fifth Master Zhan would do that, but it is said that the matter of offering prisoners is an excerpt of Fifth Master Zhan himself, it doesn't matter, there are still more than twenty days, and I will know when the time comes." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Roufeng again and asked tentatively, "When you were in Guangdong, did you still have correspondence with Fifth Master Zhan?" ”

Huo Roufeng nodded: "Xiaozhan also asked someone to send me a bow, but it's beautiful, I practice archery every day in Guangdong." ”

Mrs. Huo wanted to speak and stopped, thinking about how to ask so as not to make her sister shy.

But before she could speak, Huo Roufeng had already rolled up her sleeves, revealing a snow-white arm: "Sister, I have a lot of strength now, if you don't believe it, try to break your wrists." ”

Mama Fan was startled, and hurriedly stuffed her arm back into her sleeve, muttering: "Jiu Niangzi, you are a big girl, this is unacceptable." ”

Mrs. Huo shook her head helplessly, so she had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth.
