Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are all in the southerner area of the city, and the surrounding people live in the Wang clan.

On the next street, Huo Quai's mansion is also among them.

The people who followed him looked at the plaque of the mansion in front of him with him - the Mansion of the Marquis of Ruyin!

Even in the night, there are still more than ten porters lined up on both sides outside the main entrance of the mansion, and the style is solemn.

Xiahou, Marquis of Ruyin, is quite the great-grandson of Xiahou Ying, the founding father of the People's Republic of China.

In addition to inheriting his ancestor Yu Yin, he also has an identity, that is, the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Pingyang Hou Cao Shou had died of illness for seven or eight years, and Princess Pingyang, the sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, married Xiahou Po, the Marquis of Ruyin.

That Xia Jie hid in the Hou Mansion?!

Yao Zhao, Song Ran, and Xiao Ying were all nervous.

The identity of Princess Pingyang is unmatched by few people in the dynasty.

Even Huo Quai's biological mother, aunt Wei Zifu, was just a sneer in Princess Pingyang's mansion in her early years, that is, a singer.

It was because of Princess Pingyang's arrangement that Liu Che, who came to her house as a guest, saw Wei Zifu, so he was favored and eventually became the queen.

Huo Quai's uncle Wei Qing was originally just a riding slave in the Pingyang Hou Mansion.

…… No wonder Na Xia Jie dared to go back to the city, she hid in the Marquis of Ruyin's mansion, no one could think of it, and no one dared to investigate.

"What should we do?" Yao Zhao asked in a low voice.

"What to do, of course, is to go in and arrest people." Huo Quzhi was calm and composed.

He followed Liu Che day and night, knowing many things that ordinary people didn't understand, and he had already made a decision between the ups and downs of his thoughts.

Song Ran dissuaded: "Huo Shi has the power to meet His Majesty at any time......"

What she meant was that since Princess Pingyang and Marquis Ruyin were involved, Huo Qubing might as well go and inform His Majesty first, and see the emperor's attitude to make a decision.

"The Marquis of Ruyin and the eldest princess should not be in the city." Huo Quzhi said calmly.

Everyone looked at each other, even if the two were not there, the matter of trespassing into the Hou Mansion was not small.

Huo Qu said that he was sick and took the lead on the steps. After Yao Zhaohe entered the city, he jumped onto the wall and flew on the wall, and the big cat who had just come down at this time followed.

Song Ran and Xiao Ying glanced at each other, and also followed towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Who's coming?"

The porter saw Huo Quzhi and the others approaching, and asked.

"I was ordered by the emperor to track down the murderer who killed the lieutenant of the Northern Army, and it was Huo Quai, who came to open the door." Yao Zhao stepped forward and said.

"Waiting? Do you know where this is, and you dare to come and get people? ”

There were several concierges, led by a thin middle-aged man, standing sideways in front of everyone.

The prime minister's concierge is a seven-rank official, and this concierge is ushered in, and there are many powerful people who have seen it, but there is also a bit of momentum.

It's just in the wrong place.

Huo Qubing climbed the steps and walked straight to the door: "The roadblocker is with the criminal!" ”

The porter was stunned, obviously he had never seen such a domineering person, and he was justified in breaking into the Hou Mansion.

Huo Quai's body was full of the elite of the Chang'an Guard, and he had a terrible pressure of fighting in battle.

The porter hesitated and stretched out his hand to stop him, but was pushed away by Yao Zhao, and then watched Huo Qu's illness lead people straight in.

"Hurry up and inform Liu Neishi."

Liu Neishou is a person next to Princess Pingyang, a royal chamberlain, in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Hou Mansion.

The Marquis of Ruyin and Princess Pingyang were not there, so Liu Nei was the head of the house.

Huo Quzhi walked into the Hou Mansion, and walked straight through the atrium by induction all the way.

But before he entered the back house, he was stopped by an old man in brown dark clothes, about fifty with many guards in the mansion.

"Who dared to break into this Hou Mansion, it turned out to be Huo Shizhong."

The old man was Liu Neishi, who said with a flat smile.

"Huo Shizhong has forgotten his background, and he thinks that if he works beside His Majesty, he dares to lead someone to break into the eldest princess's mansion?"

"Liu Huai is dead, the murderer is here, if you don't let me, I will even take you together." Huo Quai's face was expressionless.

"You dare!"

Liu Neishou was shocked and angry: "This is the Mansion of the Marquis of Ruyin, and it is also the mansion of the eldest princess." If you dare to trespass, the princess will come back and see who can protect you. ”

"Take it."

Huo Quzhi waved his hand, and the Han army behind him suddenly agreed, and under the impact of the powerful momentum, all the guards in the palace shivered at the same time.

"You are a little waiter, dare to break into the princess's mansion!"

Liu Neishou said sharply: "Do you dare to follow him and die?" ”

At this time, Liu Neishou and the others had been surrounded by Yao Zhao and his troops. Huo Quzhi quickly walked through the courtyard and finally came to a courtyard.

Liu Neishou and others were imprisoned and accompanied in the rear.

Seeing the courtyard where Huo Qubing stopped from a distance, Liu Neizhi's eyes turned slightly, and he raised his voice and said: "Huo Quzhi, if you have to frame a murderer in the Hou Mansion, I can't stop it, but what if you can't get someone?" ”

"In the courtyard in front of you, a servant woman in the house is seriously ill and lives alone, and she has not been out of the courtyard for half a month.

Isn't the murderer you're talking about a sick woman?

You have imposed charges against my Hou Mansion, and I will show the princess in this matter, and I will not rest with you......"

The courtyard in front of Huo Quai's illness was quiet and did not move at all.

In the room, a woman with a sallow face was originally lying on the couch, which was disguised by Xia Jie.

She tried her best to think that no one could track her, so she returned to the Marquis of Ruyin's mansion to hide and confirmed her safety.

But she never expected that as soon as she secretly returned to the Hou Mansion, she heard movement from outside the courtyard, and the voice of Liu Nei's servant questioning Huo Quai's illness suddenly caught her ears.

"They actually chased here......" Xia Jie was taken aback.

She dared to go back to Chang'an, precisely because her hidden identity in the Hou Mansion was safe enough, and she didn't expect that before she could stand firmly, Huo Qubing chased after her.

Xia Jie got down from the couch and leaned over to drag out a woman lying upright from under the couch.

The woman's face was pale and she was dressed as a servant.

Looking closely at the shadow under the bed, there was actually another person, also lying on his back.

The scene in this room is extremely strange.

Xia Jie's hand was like electricity, and she poked out her index finger, and her nails instantly grew wildly, piercing the woman's forehead like a sharp blade.

The woman was in pain, Huo Ran opened her eyes and stared at Xia Jie.

The next moment, the woman's mouth was wide open, as if she was in pain, and wanted to scream, but her body trembled but she could not make a sound.

After two or three breaths, the woman's whole body was covered with a faint breath from the forehead down. The woman's mouth was wide open, her face was hideous, and she was already angry.

Xia Jie sneered: "Dare to chase me, let you all die!" ”

She lifted her finger from the woman's corpse to one side of the wall, and with a strong push, a tall wooden cabinet slid open, revealing a secret passage into the ground.

There is a secret passage in the Hou Mansion, which is prepared in case of use. This is the standard configuration in the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it can go directly to the outside of the house.

Xia Jie immediately wanted to enter the dark passage.

The woman she had just killed could help her stall for time.

At this time, Huo Quzhi outside suddenly said to Xiao Ying beside him through the perception of Kaihang: "You take a team of people to the east of the Hou Mansion, at the end of the adjacent Long Street, there is a secret exit of the Hou Mansion nearby, you wait there in advance." ”

Xiao Ying agreed, immediately divided his manpower, and left quickly.

Soon after everyone went, Huo Qu's book of war in the sea of illness actually changed, and a new brief film was launched, and the words 'close the door and catch the thief' appeared: The little enemy is trapped. Peeling, the disadvantage is at stake.

It means that against a weak or small enemy, try to encircle him, or annihilate him.

Closing the door and catching thieves is one of the tactics of the soldiers to deal with the enemy, so as to force the weak. It is roughly the same as the common and commonly used encirclement and annihilation battles, pocket formations, etc. In the Warring States Period, Sun Bin Pang Juan's Battle of Malingdao and the Battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping all used this battle strategy.

Sure enough, as long as I make arrangements that meet the conditions for the use of battle strategies, there may be changes in the book of knowing the sea...... Huo Qu's illness was secretly worried.

At this time, Xia Jie in the room opened the secret passage and was about to get out, when Huo Qubing immediately launched an offensive.

The teng snake fused with the divine soul and came out of the body, and the terrifying spiritual power was like a tidal wave roaring, instantly flooding the courtyard in front of it.
