Thousands of miles southeast of Chang'an, it is the feudal state of the king of Huainan.

In the depths of the grand mansion there is a Dan Pavilion, which is used for alchemy.

The majestic old man sat behind a low seat, holding a bamboo scroll in his hand, stroking his beard and reading, and sometimes glanced at the red-hot Dan furnace in the center of the room, which was quite pleasant.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the north and Chang'an." A middle-aged man with a sword at his waist walked in.

"Say."

The old man was the king of Huainan and Liu An, the uncle of Emperor Liu Che.

His gaze was introverted, and his gaze was still on the bamboo slip in his hand.

"The news from the north says that Huo Qubing was injured on the battlefield, but the person is unharmed and has returned to Chang'an?"

The middle-aged attendant said:

"It is now rumored in Beiguan that if Huo Qubing passes through the realm of heaven and man, he is expected to become a god general at the level of breaking the country, and the Xiongnu will be greatly affected, so the Xiongnu shaman will personally take action."

King Huainan straightened his body: "The Xiongnu shaman has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, and I am afraid that I have seen something that we don't know."

However, this praise seems to be too high. ”

The middle-aged man responded: "There is also a possibility that Enyi has other plans to launch Huo Qubing to cover up his true purpose?" ”

King Huainan bowed slightly, obviously having a similar judgment.

The middle-aged man said: "There is also news in Chang'an, Lord Liu Ling Weng said that the crown prince sent people to Beiguan to kill Huo Quai, but unfortunately he failed to succeed, and the whereabouts of Li Shang, who was sent out, are still unknown." ”

The talent of Liu An, the king of Huainan, has been passed down to future generations.

But he is very doting on his eldest son Liu Qian and younger daughter Liu Ling, and he is also well known.

Hearing that his son sent someone to kill Huo Quai, although he didn't agree, he sighed: "Qian'er has been in Chang'an for several years, and it is not easy.

You go and send an edict to him to come back to Huainan, and see if he will be released over there. ”

The king of Huainan meant to let his son leave Chang'an and return to Huainan. This is also a kind of temptation, you can know Liu Che's attitude.

The middle-aged man bowed and retreated, and the Danfang quieted down.

King Huainan thought for a while, took out a blank bamboo slip, and wrote, "What are your plans? ”

The strange thing is that a line of handwriting appeared on the bamboo slip, and responded: "The Xiongnu and the Han will fight again in the future, and they can wait for the opportunity to go when the time comes." The Huns had begun to prepare for the steppe to swallow the Han army.

Once Han is defeated, Huo Quai's life will be shattered. His Majesty, who was sitting in Chang'an, had been planning for many years, but in the end it would only be a failure. ”

The handwriting changed: "You also start, give things to the Huns, and then wait and see how things change." ”

"Is Huo Qubing very important, you personally killed him?" King Huainan asked.

"His life and death can't affect the victory or defeat of Han and Hun ......" The handwriting on the bamboo slips disappeared.

"Why did the princess climb over the wall at night?"

Huo Quzhi blinked his eyes and looked at Liu Qing who climbed over the wall.

She wore a dark Hanfu with closed sleeves, the lower skirt was raised, pinned to the waist, which was convenient for walking and movement, and the inner skirt was soft, vaguely revealing her long, straight and well-proportioned legs.

Her Royal Highness seemed to be thrilled by the move to climb over the wall, jumped off the wall, and patted her chest out of breath: "I have something to look for you, and it is inconvenient for people to know." ”

"Let's talk in the house." followed Huo Quai's illness to the study.

The big cat also jumped down from the eaves and landed in Liu Qing's arms, stalking his neck to see Huo Quai, meaning: You have other horses, I'm not bad, there is a wet nurse.

Huo Quzhi ignored it, and it raised its paws in an attempt to attract attention.

"The princess came here herself, what is the matter?"

"When you were attacked in Beiguan, I was actually on the battlefield in Beiguan."

Liu Qing took out a mirror and stretched out his hand to flick it.

There is a Taoist talisman on the mirror, reflecting a big bird, dressed in colorful wings, quite beautiful.

Below the big bird is a vast grassland, where two armies are fighting against each other, and it is very fierce.

"This is the bird that the princess divides and entrusts the primordial gods?"

Huo Quzhi glanced at Liu Qing.

This princess has a long history of dividing the primordial gods and pinning her on animals to travel around the world, and she is a habitual offender.

In a sense, this can be regarded as an incarnation.

The image that emerges from the mirror is the perspective of the big bird in the sky, and below is the Han-Hungarian battlefield on the day Huo Quzhi was attacked by the writer.

Liu Qing incarnated a big bird, flapping its wings in the air and flying in a certain direction.

Huo Quzhi had an inexplicable inexplicable induction, that is, Liu Qing was tracking the writer.

Suddenly, the big bird in the mirror was attacked by an unknown force, and its neck suddenly snapped in flight, and blood splattered.

Liu Qing snorted lightly: "Not only was the neck of the bird that I differentiated the Yuan Shen entrusted to be broken, but the power of that secret person also injured my Yuan Shen with this bird." ”

"That person's strength is vaguely powerful, how can you determine his location when you divided the primordial spirit into a bird?"

Huo Quzhi immediately grasped the key: "Unless you knew about the existence of that secret writer?" ”

"That's right."

Liu Qing said calmly: "When you first attacked the Zonghengdao, I entered the cave of the Zonghengdao before you, and the fundamental reason is related to this writer. ”

Huo Quai: "Afterwards, you said that you participated in the Zongheng Dao because of the order of the respected teacher?" ”

"Yes, the vertical and horizontal road also has something to do with the secret writer. He also disguised his identity and hibernated in my Daomen for more than ten years. ”

Liu Qing sat behind a low seat in the study, his thighs and calves overlapped, and his curves were full and round.

"He's dormant at the Daomen? What is the purpose? ”

"Dao Ancestor's hand scroll!"

Liu Qing said: "He has been dormant for more than ten years, not only learned many of my Taoist supernatural powers, but also found an opportunity to steal the treasure of my Dao Daozong, the handscroll written by the Taoist ancestor himself. ”

Lao Tzu has a handscroll handed down...... Huo Quzhi was taken aback.

"This person is extremely forbearing, and he has been hiding in my Dao Sect for more than ten years, and no one has found that he is abnormal. It wasn't until he stole the handscroll and disappeared that Shizun and the others reversed some clues and suspected him.

But he was gone, and we have been searching for it all these years without finding it. ”

Liu Qingdao: "When I went down the mountain and returned to Chang'an, the only thing my master told me was to let me try my best to retrieve the Daozu handscroll. ”

"The master said that the person should be cultivating the vertical and horizontal path, plotting to subvert the world, and performing the technique of vertical and horizontal stalking, from which he stole power to increase his cultivation."

Huo Quzhi thought that this could be matched, and that secret person wanted to balance the situation between Han and Hungary.

"This person's treachery and sinister deceit are rare in ancient and modern times, and the master suspects that he is uneasy today, and many things are related to him."

Liu Qingdao: "I didn't expect him to deal with you personally."

This is quite unusual, with his forbearance, he will never waste time on useless things, he does not hesitate to take action personally, you must have something special about you, very important to him, indispensable. ”

"So you came to me and wanted to join forces with me to find the writer in the shadows?"

Huo Quzhi glanced at Liu Qing, and said with some amusement: "That's why you came in over the wall?"

Do you still doubt that the person in the shadows can keep an eye on you all the time, and come to me so carefully? ”

Liu Qing actually nodded thoughtfully: "That person's cultivation is weird, unless I am in the palace, the core of the Han Dynasty, his power cannot penetrate, otherwise it is very easy for him to find someone." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled dumbly: "Are you sure that he is practicing the Vertical and Horizontal Technique?" ”

"It's just a judgment made by the master based on some signs.

He seems to have integrated the practice of Confucianism, Taoism, and Vertical and Horizontal into one, forming his unique power. ”

Liu Qing closed his eyes and said, "You have been in contact with him, do you have any other clues?" ”

"Why didn't you go to Your Majesty for help, but you came to me?" Huo Quzhi did not answer the rhetorical question.

Liu Qing saw Huo Quzhi's eyes staring at him darkly, and suddenly he had a shy emotion, and subconsciously looked away:

"My master said that the soldiers punish the evil and destroy the delusion, the main killing, and the Confucianism and the Zongheng family are mutually restrictive. This is the best thing for you. ”

The two communicated, and Her Royal Highness the princess made an appointment with Huo Qubing to exchange news, so she took the big cat over the wall and returned to the palace with great interest.

Huo Quzhi seriously suspected that her coming to her was not the main purpose, but to experience the pleasure of walking the world through the house and the chivalrous women.

After Liu Qing left, Huo Qubing also left Huo Mansion.

The night was dark.

South of Chang'an City, Huainan Palace.

Huo Qubing appeared outside the palace, and Yue Rao, Xiao Ying, and Song Ran also appeared outside the wall.

The soldiers have a strategy to fight the grass and scare the snake, and the anti-guest is the main thing.

Huo Qu came from illness, and by the way, he could also try his skills after breaking into the realm of heaven and man.

In his sea of consciousness, the snake swallowed the clouds and mist, and the whole person seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist, quietly disappearing into the darkness.
