Chapter 10 The Search for Chun Yu Ji

Huo Yu has been in a trance these days, and sent out to find a few people in Chun Yu, one time to say that he found it, and another time to say that it was not, it was a mess.

Feng Zidu suggested expanding the scope of the search, so he told the Huo family's son-in-law Fan Mingyou, the general of Duliao, Deng Guanghan, the Shaofu of Changxin, Ren Sheng, the general of Zhonglang, Zhao Ping, the commander of the cavalry, and the nephew and son-in-law Zhang Shuo, the doctor of Guanglu, and the grandson-in-law of the grandson-in-law Zhonglang general Wang Han and others.

These people were also shocked when they heard this, and immediately agreed to do their best to search for Chun Yuji.

A few days later, Fan Mingyou rushed to tell Huo Yu that Chun Yuji had found it, and it was true. Huo Yu was overjoyed and pulled him back to Huo's mansion.

The two went to meet Huo Xian first, and then beckoned everyone to gather together, and couldn't wait to listen to Fan Mingyou's story.

Huo Xian didn't come over with his identity, and sent a maid to bring some steamed cakes, sweet fruits, and wine.

Fan Mingyou was very proud, took a bite of the sweet fruit, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "I thought that Chun Yu was studying medicine, so I sent my cronies to ask the doctor in the army for questioning, and I really asked it." There was a medical officer in the Yulin Army who was familiar with Chun Yuji, and Chun Yuji once told him that he wanted to be a doctor in the army, so the medical officer recommended him to go to the Yulin Army. Ke Chun Yu was reluctant to stay in the capital, and insisted on going to Biansai, saying that his aunt's senior brother was the chief military doctor of Shuofangbian, so he could take refuge. โ€

Huo Yu suddenly realized, and interjected: "We also looked among the doctors, but we couldn't find it, it turned out that he was in the army, and he went to the side." โ€

Fan Mingyou nodded: "Yes, this medical officer said that Chun Yu went to the Shuofang border army later." โ€

"Shuo Fang?" Huo Yu tilted his head and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and asked, "Is Chun Yu still there at the moment?" โ€

"It should still be there, and a few days ago, I asked the envoy to bring a letter to the medical officer to ask about some healing."

Huo Yu finally remembered one thing, looked around at everyone proudly, and asked mysteriously: "Do you know who the county guard of Shuofang is?" โ€

Everyone was at a loss, and Huo Yu said in a long voice: "Ren Xuan." I just took office the other day. โ€

Fan Mingyou patted his head: "Yes, I also remembered, he was originally a doctor in Taizhong-" I was about to continue, but I suddenly realized that Ren Xuan was demoted to the border because he asked Feng Zidu to be a marquis, so he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He secretly glanced at Feng Zidu, and saw that Feng Zidu did not react, so he smiled and said, "This is God helping me to wait." โ€

Huo Shan said: "Ren Xuan was filial piety back then, and he relied on the support of our Huo family to have a career, and it was not easy for him to do something." โ€

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, Feng Zidu still looked cold, while Huo Shan, Huo Yun, Fan Mingyou, and Deng Guanghan picked up the wine and greeted each other to drink.

Huo Yu moved sideways, approached Feng Zidu, and whispered in his ear, "Feng Jun, what do you have in mind?" โ€

Feng Zidu moved away slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. Huo Yu was also aware of it, and sat up straight in embarrassment.

Feng Zidu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Shuofang is 1,800 miles away from Chang'an, and it takes ten days and half a month to ride a horse to go there, and the changes are unknown. So, it's not too late. โ€

Huo Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I will send a messenger to Shuofang tomorrow and order Ren Xuan to kill Chun Yuji." Everyone nodded their heads. Fan Mingyou wanted to interject but hesitated, hesitated for a moment and didn't speak.

Feng Zidu shook his head slightly and said, "How can such a messenger handle such a big thing?" Besides, Ren Xuan is also an outsider after all, and Chun Yu is a border military medical officer, so he can't be killed casually. No one knows what happened to Chun Yuyan back then, if it alarmed the court because of Chun Yuji, once it is traced, it will be difficult to clean up. โ€

Fan Mingyou heard that he was in harmony with his words, so he nodded vigorously on the side.

Everyone came back to their senses and fell silent.

Huo Yu hesitated and said, "Then I'll go over." โ€

"You can't leave Chang'an, and the Huo family can't go. After walking for many days, if the emperor asks, what is good? โ€

Huo Yu felt reasonable, so he swept his gaze to everyone, and then stopped on Fan Mingyou's face, thoughtful.

Fan Mingyou panicked and shook his hand again and again: "I can't leave either." โ€

Huo Yu said: "You are familiar with Ren Xuan, and you used to be a general of Duliao, and you are familiar with the side plug joints, who will you go if you don't go?" Everyone also said that Fan Mingyou was the most suitable.

Huo Yu tapped his fingers on the lacquer table, signaled everyone to stop making a sound, and said to Fan Mingyou sincerely: "The stakes are very high, and you don't have to excuse yourself." I'll send a messenger here first to inform Ren Xuan that General Chun Yu will be detained. You then set off and act at the opportune time, it would be best if you could retrieve the talisman, otherwise you would bring Chun Yuji back. As long as this man is in our hands, things will be easy. โ€

Fan Mingyou had a bitter face and had to agree. Huo Yu told again: "You must find a way to get back the talisman." โ€

The crowd dispersed, and the sky darkened. Feng Zidu walked through the courtyard, a round of bright moon in the sky, and a moon shadow also fell in the pool, reflecting up and down, rendering the surroundings plain white as washing, quiet all around, only to hear the wind blowing the leaves rustling.

Feng Zidu found a flat mountain rock in the shade and sat down, his thoughts fluctuating. I thought that I was arrogant, and I expected to have the support of the general, and with my own intelligence, even if I couldn't get into the general, at least I could make a name for myself. But now confined to Huo Mansion, just a house slave, I can't help but feel sad.

He reflected on today's events, worried about Huo's prospects, and wondered if he should also leave a way back; But thinking of Huo Guang's appreciation and Huo Xian's attachment, a trace of guilt arose in his heart.

At this time, there was a sound of warblers and swallows on the side of the corridor, and Feng Zidu looked over, it seemed that Huo Xian and a group of female dependents were drunk and ran to the courtyard to frolic. He didn't dare to say anything, and tiptoed back to his inner room.

In the northwest border city of Shuofang, the young border army medical officer Chun Yu walked towards the pass with the medicine letter on his shoulder, and met a group of familiar sergeants on the way, and said hello with a smile.

In the past few days, he always felt that someone was staring at him, but when he looked around, there was nothing abnormal, which made him uneasy.

Two years ago, Chun Yu took a letter written by his aunt and went to Shuofang to defect to Hua Yanshou, the chief military doctor of Shuofangbian, and stayed in the field hospital nunnery as a medical officer.

He didn't quite understand why his aunt insisted that he leave Chang'an, and the farther he went, the better.

He remembers that when he used to live in Chang'an, his family was well-off, and although he was still young, his aunt carefully taught him medicine and took him around the mountains and rivers around Gyeonggi to identify and collect medicinal herbs. At that time, he was carefree and devoted to learning. However, one year, my aunt entered the palace to diagnose the queen, and did not return home for several days.

Two years ago, my aunt was seriously ill and knew that she couldn't afford it, so she called him to the sickbed, gave him a painting, and told him that he must look at it carefully and engrave it in his heart, so that when he encounters danger or hardship in the future, he can rely on this painting to turn the situation into safety.

The painting just depicts a scholar sitting under a willow tree reading a book, and he can't read it. My aunt said that she would figure it out after a few years, and then asked him to go to Shuofang to join her senior brother Hua Yanshou.

With anxiety on her pale face, my aunt pointed to the painting and said, "You must imprint this picture in your heart." โ€

My aunt must be hiding a big secret. He saw several times that when his aunt was alone, she often looked at her in a daze and sighed for a long time. He once asked what it was for, and his aunt said that it was better not to know. He kept thinking that why his aunt did this must also have something to do with her secret. He still remembers one day when he saw copper coins scattered all over the ground, he didn't ask, and his aunt didn't tell him.

Today, Chun Yu was ordered to go out of the customs to heal the little prince of the Monan Xiongnu Shan Yu.

A few years ago, the Huns outside the Saiwai were in civil strife, and several factions of men and horses fought endlessly, and the Monan Xiongnu was weak in strength, so they took the initiative to claim that the ministers were attached to the imperial court, so the border pass Yan'an.

A few days ago, Shan Yu's little prince fell and injured himself while riding a horse, and wrote to ask the Han army medical officer to go there to treat his injuries. Chun Yuji received a message from the Taishou faction, ordering him to go out of the customs to heal the little prince. After the Han and Hungarian discussions, this kind of thing often happened to you and me, and he prepared some medicinal materials for the treatment of bruises, and came over with the medicine letter on his back.
