Huo Lanyuan only lay on the bed for one night before regaining his spirit. His complexion was ruddy, and his muscles and bones were firm. The arms that are accustomed to wielding guns and knives are knotted in muscles.

The subordinates trembled and carried out Dr. Ji's corpse, the old man's sideburns were white, his skin was dry, his eyes were yellow, and there were traces of gnawing on his neck, although it was a little different from the young master's body, but it was just as bloody and miserable.

Just like the corpses of the unlucky people who were lying on the streets after being killed by evil spirits before, they were made perfect and became bones. Dry and crippled, not human-shaped.

"Are you afraid of me?" Huo Lanyuan looked at the slave who had been by his side since childhood, and was trembling at this time fiddling with Dr. Ji's corpse, taking small steps little by little, walking out, and then asked.

The servant's teeth stumbled and chattered often. His eyes rolled around, although his eyes never fell on Huo Lanyuan's body, but his consciousness had already pounced on the young master's body.

In the afterglow, he began to observe Huo Lanyuan's every move, causing his steps to become more hesitant and slow. I didn't dare to answer.

"Do you think I don't look like a person?" Huo Lanyuan got up and put on his shoes, he walked a few steps and put on a slightly thicker brocade robe, "Ru Mao drinks blood, he is either a barbarian or a brute." ”

He looked at his palms, held his head, and grabbed a handful of hair, "I kill people and drink their blood, what is the difference between this and a beast?

The servant still did not answer, but only quickened the movement of his hand, he paused for a moment, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and gasped a few times. His heart tensed, and his face couldn't help but look ugly.

The crisis seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and as soon as the servant heard that there was a stir, he immediately turned around in shock, for fear that "Young Master Huo" would pounce on him at this moment and bite him off guard.

The corpse of this person had been at the threshold for a while, and the servant sighed with relief and walked away with the body of Dr. Ji.

I don't know what to do?

Huo Lanyuan tidied up his appearance, took the token given to his father by His Majesty, and walked towards the palace gate.

"Who is coming? Idle people, etc., do not trespass on the palace. The two young guards bent their spears and blocked Huo Lanyuan's way.

Huo Lanyuan showed the token, fiddled with the two, and only replied: "Huo Lanyuan, Huo's Huo Lanyuan, there is something important to face the saint." ”

The two young generals looked at each other for a while, carefully studied the inscriptions and patterns on the token, withdrew the spear, and only said respectfully: "Young Master Huo, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

They made way for Huo Lanyuan and signaled him to respond to His Majesty's orders quickly.

Huo Lanyuan took a deep breath and looked at the majestic and vigorous bricks and tiles. He stood at the bottom and looked up, but he couldn't see the top.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, his body and mind were not up to him. The power plots in this palace, the killing and slaughter, all to win the smile of the Son of Heaven.

Success or defeat. But they are all a few strokes in the historical books.

"Are you Huo Lanyuan?" the Son of Heaven sat behind the screen, leaving only a figure on the transparent "white". He picked up a cup of tea, and the heat was thick, reflecting on the "drawing paper" as if dancing with ink to make a cloud of smoke.

Huo Lanyuan knelt down and bowed. He knew that the person in front of him would be the "sky" of his life.

"What you gave me, I read. I don't know where did the Huo family get this letter?" the Son of Heaven took a sip of tea, and his tone was not hurried.

"The Shen family...... Library Cabinet. It was hidden and not easy to find, and it escaped several searches. Huo Lanyuan concealed some of it, but he also tried to tell what he knew.

"If I remember correctly, this Shen Qingjun is your wife. This time, my holy decree was issued to the Huo Mansion and asked you to slaughter the Shen family, have you ever hesitated?

I've heard of the saying, 'Marrying a wife should marry Shen Qingjun', presumably you and her have a deep love for the two of you, and she is virtuous and courteous, so she can get such a good name. The Son of Heaven put the temptation on the bright side, and he sat upright, only the curtain of the crown swayed.

"Your Majesty, it is my duty to be able to serve you. That Shen clan conspired against each other, and the crime deserved to be so much, how could I hesitate? These 169 people, all of them deserve to be punished for their crimes, and no one is innocent.

Your Majesty is aware of everything and understands the righteousness, and it is already a great fortune for my Huo family not to be connected to my Huo family. Huo Lanyuan knelt on the ground, word by word, seemingly sincere, and never saw a trace of complaint.

"Oh, you can think so, and it's not in vain. The Huo family is one of my arms, I will not cut off an arm, as long as your Huo family does not go out of line, this government and the opposition, there will be a place for you to wait. "The Son of Heaven said it firmly, as if he didn't know his joy and anger, which could cause the mountain rain to come and the wind to fill the building, or the pear blossoms of thousands of trees.

"Your little guard gave me this letter, I was shocked to see it, but you didn't send anyone to Nanling, do you know why?" the emperor changed his mind and asked about something else.

"The minister is stupid and does not know. Huo Lanyuan didn't dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts, so he could only answer like this.

The Son of Heaven laughed heartily a few times, and suddenly lowered his voice, his tone was treacherous, a little excited, and a little hateful, "Because I plan to send you, who would have thought that before this holy decree arrived at your house, you came first, which can be regarded as quite my favor." Just like your father. ”

"Send the minister?" The emperor's words were in Huo Lanyuan's arms, he originally wanted to come to Mao Sui to recommend himself, but now the emperor took the initiative to ask him to go, it was really good, so he immediately, "The minister obeys the order." We will live up to Your Majesty's trust. ”

Tianzi chuckled, as if he was talking to himself, "Only if you go, it's an interesting play." I haven't seen a play in a long time. ”

Huo Lanyuan didn't know what to answer, and he didn't dare to ask. He couldn't see the emperor's face, nor could he know the emperor's emotions, so he simply didn't say a word.

"I'll send you some men, whether it's alive or dead. It's up to you. ”

"I understand. ”

"Huo Lanyuan, since you have read this letter, what do you think?" the Son of Heaven stood up, as if he had picked up a brush and started writing. The end of the pen, like a swimming dragon and a wild snake, is graceful and amazing.

"The Shen family conspired against him, and the minister didn't believe what he said. ”

"You are transparent, so you are a little wiser than your father! Your father should almost be idle in the house, and from now on it will be up to you to take his place. The Son of Heaven was very satisfied, but immediately changed his words, "Some people have heard things they shouldn't hear, seen things they shouldn't see, and have been dangling in front of their eyes, which is really annoying." Huo Lanyuan, did you say yes or no?"

"Yes. Huo Lanyuan replied immediately.

"Ah, I forgot, your little guard is still there! Guizi, go and call that little boy. ”

After a stick of incense, Dongyuan followed behind a small eunuch and came steadily. His face is immature, but he has numerous scars.

He crossed the threshold and saw his master kneeling on the ground, but he didn't have time to look at it a few times. Huo Lanyuan stood up, drew the knife of the accompanying guard, and stabbed Dongyuan in the heart.

"Young Master...... Why?"
