Xie Huiming knew that Huo Shiqi was the most good old fox who pretended to be confused, and he no longer went around in circles, his fingers were slightly curled and lightly tapped on the table, and his words were calm, but he had a majesty that no one could refuse: "The subordinate officials of the East Palace instigated the imperial brother to leave Beijing without authorization and fell into danger for the imperial brother. He paused slightly, and looked at Huo Shiqi calmly: "Lord Huo is so hesitant, do you want to cover up one or two?" ”

Huo Shiqi sighed secretly, King Han had just been deposed, and he left Beijing without authorization, the two things were added together, King Qin finally couldn't help it, but now he is too anxious to take action against the subordinate officials of the East Palace.

He felt that he was very satisfied to be a secretary of the ministry and to be able to survive until the second grade was retired, and he didn't want to get involved in these things, but the ups and downs of the sea and the ability to be alone is also a kind of ability.

After pondering for a moment, Huo Shiqi pondered and slowly spoke: "Your Highness, the subordinate officials of the East Palace are naturally guilty of this matter, but Weichen thinks that the top priority now is to find His Royal Highness the King of Han, as for the culpability." He wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said bluntly: "Weichen thinks that as for the guilt of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, he should think about it slowly, if he is impatient, he may provoke criticism." ”

The first time I heard Huo Shiqi speak so bluntly, these people present were stunned.

When Huo Shiqi speaks, he always goes around and around, saying that half of it is hidden and half of it, and it takes people to think hard to guess the general meaning.

Xie Huiming was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled, his smile was simple and comfortable: "Lord Huo's words are exactly what this king thinks, what this king means, Lord Huo should also understand that before the imperial brother returns to Beijing, the adult should prepare a statement and present it to the imperial brother first." ”

Now it was Huo Shiqi's turn to be stunned, and the proposed conviction was presented, shouldn't it be directly presented to the saint's royal review?

This is a great time to break the arm of the Han King and purge his political enemies.

Xie Huiming's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Master Huo is going to show them one by one, and after presenting them to the imperial brother, how to convict and punish, the imperial brother can also have a number in his heart. ”

Huo Shiqi understood in an instant, bowed slightly, and should claim to be.

Asking about the matter of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, no matter what, it is impossible to run, rather than the King of Qin jumping out to offend people, it is better to let the King of Han endure the painful choice and cut off his arm.

Of course, according to King Han's unstingy temperament, it is very likely that he is unwilling to splash and roll.

If this is the case, the saint will not tolerate him, then he has added another sin out of thin air.

And King Qin can still have a good reputation as a virtuous king.

Counting in one fell swoop, there are so many birds in one stone, which is really wonderful.

Huo Shiqi lowered his head and ate slowly.

He already knew that King Qin was not a thing in the pool, and with such a deep mind, King Han was in danger.

Fortunately, he has always been upright, neither the Han Dynasty nor the Qin King faction, and has never done anything to harm others and benefit himself, let alone do things that set himself on fire.

Even if one day the King of Han falls and the King of Qin ascends to the throne, the fire will not burn on him, the big deal is to dismiss the official and return to his hometown, anyway, the tigress at home has long been unaccustomed to his trembling appearance as an official.

After running out of twilight food, the twilight drum beat for the second time, and the four of them got up together to say goodbye.

In the deep night, the heavy rain did not mean to stop at all.

One horse, two people, urged the horse to gallop through the rain and fog, and the murky water splashed on the muddy road.

In the depths of the rain curtain, the half-collapsed loess wall swayed in the wind and rain.

Han Changdui wiped a handful of rain and shouted, "There is the Black Spring Station ahead." ”

Yao Ji couldn't open his eyes and couldn't open his mouth because of the heavy rain, so he only nodded his head, feeling depressed.

It is said that the Black Spring Station can be arrived when it is dark, and it was tossed by this rain, and it only arrived in the middle of the night.

Seeing that Heiquanyi was in front of him, Han Changdui urged the horse to speed up a little, and as he spoke, Xiaoyi's half-collapsed door fell into the eyes of the two.

Han Changdui sighed, stood on his horse, untied the hemp rope trapped in his waist, turned over and dismounted.

The black post has been abandoned for a long time, and the loess has been poured into deep mud by the rain, and it has not passed the upper of the shoe when you step into it.

The two of them did not light the fire, but entered the small post in the dark, and by the bright rain, they did not stop in the complete house in front of them, but touched the back of the small post.

Behind the post was a stable, and the withered poplar trees next to it were washed away by the rain, and some of them fell down, smashing the thatched roof of the stable to the ground, and the dead branches were scattered all over the ground and buried in the loess.

The two looked at each other, drove the horses into the stables, pulled the dry branches out of the mud, and piled them up in front of them to cover up a little.

Han Changdui looked at it and said lightly: "You also go in, I'll clean up outside." ”

Yao Qi was stunned for a moment, thinking of his strength, the idea of wanting to help died down in an instant, and he got into the stable as he said, and curled up against the horse.

The thatch on the roof was sparse, and raindrops fell through the cracks.

Yao Qi stepped on the small puddle on the side and sighed secretly.

It's really raining heavily outside, and it's raining lightly inside.

If you drench it all night, you have to catch a cold.

was worried, Yao Qi's eyes darkened.

Han Changdui dragged the thick poplar trunk over and crossed in front of her.

After taking a breath and relieving for a while, he dragged some tree trunks over, staggered and stacked them, and in front of Yao Qi and the horses, he built a simple wall, and the place of residence became a gap that was not easy to be discovered.

Han Changdui rested for a long time, and threw a lot of dead branches into it before he got drenched and drenched.

Yao Qi looked at Han Changdu, hunched over, and filled the dead branches where he had gotten in.

Han Changwan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "Those dead branches are to gather a fire to keep warm." ”

Yao Qi looked up at the top, then at the tree trunks piled up in front of him, pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, it's too eye-catching." ”

In fact, she was insincere, and the firefighting experience she trained in her previous life told her that building a fire here is tantamount to self-immolation.

The rain had subsided, and there was silence all around, and two men sat in the damp stable, which was so small that they were so close together that the wet moisture rushed to their faces.

After running in the rain for so long, Han Changwan was indeed tired, leaning on the horse lying on the ground, his eyes closed heavily.

Yao Qi had a chill on his body, and his wet clothes were against his skin, cold and biting.

She sighed, afraid that she was really going to catch a cold, and reached out to wring the water from her clothes.

As soon as she twisted one sleeve, her eyes narrowed, and she turned her head suddenly.

In the middle of the night, when the rain stopped, it was unusually quiet, and the small sound was like thunder.

Han Changdui also woke up, his eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at the houses in front of him.

The human voice approached, and three large shadows fell outside the stable.

A loud and rugged man's voice sounded: "That's it, the stables are all collapsed, so let's tie the camels here." Ah Lan, you take Brother Ying to the front to rest, and I'll pick up some firewood. ”

Han Changwan and Yao Qi glanced at each other quickly, and they both held the sword at their waists.

This voice is familiar, it is the owner of the missing shop in the White Horse Station.

It is not known who killed the garrison in the White Horse Fortress, but the owner of this shop should not be underestimated.

Han Changdui listened to the sound of rustling outside, and his heart tightened.

Perhaps the innkeeper thought that the dead branches in the stables were soaked with rain and would not be so easy to ignite, so he did not touch the stacked dead branches, but went under the eaves, picked up a large bundle of half-dried branches, and carried them into the house in front of him.

Through the cracks of the dead branches, Han Changdui saw the fire in the house, burning vigorously, the flames jumping, he secretly sighed, only to feel colder on his body.

The stable and the house were very close, and they didn't know the depth of the shopkeeper, Han Changwan and the two didn't dare to talk, only gesticulating carefully, and they didn't even dare to breathe, they were really depressed.

The owner's voice was loud and clear: "Ah Lan, you're tired, quickly bake your wet clothes, don't hurt the wind, I'll heat up the flax cake and mutton soup." ”

didn't hear Meng Lan's voice, but Meng Ying smiled: "The mutton soup made by Brother Helian is a must." ”

Han Changdu's eyes narrowed slightly, the original owner of the shop was surnamed Helian, and most of the people surnamed Helian were Bailanqiang people, decades ago, Qinghai Lake was taken away by the Tubo people, and the Bailanqiang people who did not want to be slaves were forced to leave their homeland and migrate to the Hexi area.

There was a burst of squirming, Meng Lan's low laughter came, the voice was relaxed and gentle, completely different from the post station, as if it was not the same person at all, she smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for four years, A-Ying has grown up, and my sister almost didn't recognize you." ”

Meng Ying's smile was like that of a child, and she was not worried: "But I recognized my sister at a glance, and my sister hasn't changed at all." ”

Meng Lan was quiet for a moment, four years have passed, how can there be no change, her face has changed, her heart has changed, she smiled faintly: "A-Ying, my sister and your brother Helian are going to a far place, this road is very difficult and hard, you, let's go home." ”

Meng Ying jumped up and shook her head eagerly: "No, I want to follow my sister, I'm not afraid of hard work, wherever my sister goes, I'll go." ”

Hearing these words, Han Changwei thought of the soldiers who were hanging up in Baimashu, and the people hanging at the gate of the post station were all Han people, but the people hanging at the gate of the station were Hu people, and he vaguely felt strange.

If it is said that the gangsters took advantage of the changing of the guard, why did they separate the Hu and Han people.

After all, in the garrison, there have always been Hu and Han, and they will not be separated according to Hu and Han.

Why did the gangsters hang the Hu and Han people separately after they took the lives of the garrison.

What is the meaning of the hell?

Where Helian and Meng Lan are going to go, it sounds extremely far away and extremely difficult, it must be that they are going out of the Yumen Pass and going to the Western Regions.

He turned his head to look at Yao Qi, just as her expression changed from dazed to clear, and then surprised, obviously thinking of something important, he was stunned, and before he could think deeply, he heard Helian's voice coming.
