A man, a horse, a sword, and a yellow sand road.

The cold wind of late autumn blows up the yellow leaves, and the future is becoming stranger and stranger in the twilight, but for those on the horse, strangeness may not be a bad thing.

Huo Ying has been walking in this direction for two months, and he doesn't know where to go, but the world is vast, and there is always room for people.

Before the age of twenty, he never thought that he would go to the end of the world alone, he thought that he would continue to stay in the Protectorate Mansion, like his father, and when the time came, it would be logical to inherit the throne of the prince, then take over the military power, and finally marry a woman like his mother, and together they would pass on the prestige and family reputation of the Protectorate Mansion.

The future he thought was not his future.

In the first twenty years, he accepted the glory and glory brought by his family, and after that, he will also bear all the consequences of his family's defeat. He doesn't complain, he doesn't hate, he just needs time to digest and accept.

The horses neighed, and there was a town ahead.

This is 800 miles away from the northwest of Jingshi, and a few days further on, it will be close to the border.

The town was so lively that he found an inn to stay in, and if there were no accidents, he would stay there for a few days before moving on to the next unknown place.

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic and gave him a pot of wine for free, but the inquiring gaze was a little annoying, "Childe, where is this?" Alone? You don't have a long-wind-literary cfx. Net blames the small mouth, a few days ago, there were many people from the Jinyi Division who hit this, and I don't know who was arrested, but the son has to be careful. The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

Seeing that Huo Ying looked down, he couldn't be sure where he committed the crime. However, five out of ten people who came to the north were on file. He doesn't care about the affairs of the court here, and the person who opens an inn and wine shop can be regarded as half of the people in the rivers and lakes, and he must be harmonious in business, so that it is convenient for people to do it, and it is good to leave a reputation in the rivers and lakes in the future.

Huo Ying glanced at him, took the flask and went upstairs.

Entering the house, he collapsed into bed, and he dragged the quilt over his face.

Just as he was drowsy, the door suddenly slammed open, followed by a string of slight wine burps.

Under the quilt, his brow furrowed. No response.

It must have been at the wrong door. He didn't want to bother. In the past two months, he has said no more than 100 words, and naturally he will not change his style because of this accident.

There was the sound of moving stools and a faint sigh in the room. It felt like someone was sitting down in the house.

Sit down, he'll be gone anyway.

He continued to close his eyes. Put your mind blank.

"It must be the third brother. It was he who replaced my balls with wine......"

A voice came low. Huo Ying couldn't help frowning when he heard this voice. It's a woman.

How could a woman be alone in an inn?

He pulled the covers down, revealing his eyes.

There was no light in the house. The light was dim, but a white figure could be seen rising from the table and stumbling to the bed.

Huo Ying was a little flustered, what was she going to do?

"I've got to take a break......"

A gentle body fell down and fell on top of him.

"SmallOn his mouth, he blinked sleepily, then hung his head down and fell asleep on his shoulder.

Huo Ying only saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars. He gritted his teeth, withdrew in disgust, and lifted the cover over her.

I didn't get much sleep that night. In the first half of the night, I cleaned the vomit on the floor and removed the strange smell in the house, and in the second half of the night, I took a bath and couldn't sleep.

When it was dawn, he lay on the floor and closed his eyes, and when he felt someone in front of him, he opened his eyes, and there was a magnified mouth in front of him, and his eyes were wide open.

"Who are you?" She asked.

Huo Ying gritted his teeth, "The person who was occupied by you." ”

She straightened up, but her mouth opened wider.

No shyness, no search for death and life, this is really not like the women he knows. Isn't she a little ashamed?

The girl looked around, then looked at him again, "How can you be in the same room with my lonely man and widow?" Won't you shy away from avoiding this whole night? ”

Huo Ying paused, glared at her, got up, and walked out.

The girl paused, chased after her, and said, "I don't mean that, I mean, you shouldn't mess with me, if they let them know that you and I spent the night together, they will definitely not let you go." You'd better go quickly, maybe they're coming, I don't want to bother you. ”

Huo Ying lowered his eyes and looked at her and walked out.

He didn't bother to pay attention to her, a woman who got drunk at night and broke into a strange man must not be a woman from a good family. And what's very strange is that this place is obviously located in the north, but her accent has a bit of a suburban Beijing accent.

He was going to freshen up and have breakfast, and then go to the east to bask in the sun in the mountains.

He walked steadily down the corridor and raised his hand to summon Xiao Er to fetch water.

At this time, a group of people came in downstairs, led by a young man with a folding fan and a mustache, dressed very gently, but his eyes were shrewd. This kind of person is rare in the Northland, and Huo Ying judged at a glance that he must be from a foreign country.

"Not good!"

A low exclamation suddenly sounded behind him, and the strange girl who had been before suddenly turned around when she saw the man below, and ran straight to the room next to him, and when she entered, there was a knock on the door, as if the door was chained.

Huo Ying looked at the two compartments again, and took the hot water back to the room speechlessly.

After washing, I picked up the bun and was about to eat it, when there was a noise outside, mixed with the resistance of the previous woman. Huo Ying knew that at this time he should go out and draw a knife to help, no matter whether the woman was a good person or a bad person, there was no reason to be bullied by a man. But he doesn't want to move, he doesn't want to move at all, after he is just a criminal minister, what qualifications does he have to punish evil and promote good?

He took a big bite of the steamed bun, and there was a bang at the door, and the two door panels suddenly snapped and fell, followed by several family members.

Sitting at the table and eating steamed buns seriously, he was exposed in front of everyone at a glance. The people under the corridor were stunned, and the mustache hurriedly bowed his hand: "I'm really sorry to disturb the son, Xiaosheng will fix it for you immediately!" ”

The woman he was holding was panicked, and her eyes were looking around.

Huo Ying paused, put the steamed bun down, slowly walked out of the threshold, grabbed the girl's wrist with one hand, pulled her hand out of the mustache, dragged her into the house, let her sit at the table, and pushed the steamed buns and pickles on the table to her.

The girl's face was flushed, and her mustache was dumbfounded.

Huo Ying continued to nibble on his big steamed bun as if nothing had happened. And there is no such group of people outside the wide open door.

"What do you mean!"

The mustache pointed the folding fan at him, so angry that he couldn't speak. "I'm telling you, it's none of your business, you give me back!"

It's too much! How dare you snatch someone from his third master? If it weren't for his size, he would have rushed over a long time ago!

"From now on, she's my person." Huo Ying swallowed the food in his mouth, looking at him indifferently.

He had already seen that the mustache must not be the girl's husband, and if it was a husband, why did he pull her hand with his sleeve attached? Besides, even if it is a husband, for such a husband, he should break them up. Where is a man who bullies even his wife worthy of being a husband?

If he dragged this woman back to do something bad, then it would be more appropriate for him to come out.

"You?"

When the mustache heard this, it was like swallowing a fly. "She's your man?" He looked him up and down, left and right, and then his expression suddenly froze, and he said in a deep voice, "What's your name?" ”

"Huo Ying." Huo Ying finished eating the steamed buns and answered him leisurely.

"Huo Ying? Huo Ying? The mustache lowered his head and chewed on the two, "Why are you so familiar?" ”

What about familiarity? He's not really a fugitive.

Huo Ying took a sip of tea from the teacup, and suddenly dragged the girl's wrist again, stood up, and went out.

The mustache looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and he didn't even think to chase after him, but muttered for a moment, and said to the person behind him: "I remember that before leaving, Wei Xian said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are ordering the people of the Jinyi Division to look around for the little prince of the former Protector Mansion, and this little prince seems to be called Huo Ying?" ”

The entourage behind him nodded and said, "Third Master, you are not mistaken!" The young master did say so. ”

In a place like the Northwest, it is clear that the folk customs are more open than in the Central Plains. Huo Ying and this girl walked in the town on their front and back feet, and no one looked at them strangely.

In the past, when he went out with his grandfather, he had only been to the East China Sea, and he did not know much about the northwest. It is precisely because I don't understand that I want to come and see if the Huo family hadn't fallen, how could he exist in the generals who fought against the Mongolian army this time. His ideal is to be a real general, defend the country, and drive away the enemy, but in his life, he should have no chance with his ideals.

The Huo family fell into such a situation, he didn't blame the court at all, nor did he blame Yin Yu.

If he were Yin Yu, he would make the same choice. He was just ashamed that several generations of loyal martyrs of the Huo family would be ruined by the difference between his grandfather and grandmother. He is just sorry, he has a relationship with Yin Yu like a brother, and now that he is in charge of the country, it is the time to employ people, but he is no longer qualified to share his worries and relieve his labor.
