Chapter Ninety-Eight: Fighting Evil with Evil [Asking for Votes]
"Holding on to the profit is not as good as that. It cannot be kept for a long time. Rigid is easy to break, and the water is soft and cottony. ”
The first half of this sentence is the content of Lao Tzu's Taoist Sutra, which means that it is better to stop at the right time if you hold on to it;
The sharpness is too strong to maintain for a long time.
Liu Qing's handwriting is beautiful, and the neat official book writes the above paragraph on Jane, and passes it over to Huo Quai, which seems to have the meaning of reminding him not to be sharp in everything.
On the back of the bamboo slip is a small military formation, with black dots representing the arrangement of different directions, but it is obviously missing.
Huo Qubing wrote on the legend of the military formation on the back of the book, made a mark, made up the missing part, and then pushed it out with the power of the soldiers.
The transmission of this bamboo slip is limited by distance, and the higher the level of power, the farther the distance transmitted.
And the targets that are connected with each other are marked by the Xunjian Ancient Jade that they got from Qin Qingyu last time, and the bamboo slips will be pulled by the breath in the ancient jade and fly back.
Changding Palace.
Liu Qing saw Xun Jian flying outside the window, and reached out to take it.
Unfold the content of the bamboo slips, and see what is written above: After all the days, things come to conform, and the fun is endless!
This is in response to what she just said about being too rigid and easy to break, saying that difficulty is just a kind of exercise, you don't need to care, you just let it come if you want to, and it is endless fun to fight with others.
Liu Qing hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely bright.
She looked down at the bamboo slips.
The handwriting on it is like an iron painting silver hook, the pen is strong, and the turning point is sharp and smooth, without the slightest hesitation.
Liu Qingzheng was about to turn over to look at the military formation on the back of the Jianshu, but found that Qin Qingyu came to the side at some point, and glanced at the bamboo slip with a smile: "You have also studied military affairs recently?" ”
"Last time, I saw the changes in the military formation of his troops, and there are many mysteries in them, and I have read some military books and military skills in the past few days, and if I don't understand it, I will pass it on to ask him."
Liu Qing raised the bamboo slip in his hand: "I found a few remnants of the military formation left over from the Warring States period, take it and ask him, no matter how difficult it is, there is always an answer." I have completed and sorted out several fragments of ancient military books. ”
Qin Qingyu thought for a while: "There is also a soldier's array missing for the division, you ask Huo Hou, maybe you can help repair it?" ”
Liu Qingdao: "What the master is talking about is the five army formations inherited from the sect? ”
Qin Qingyu nodded: "In the early years, the Five Army Formation was set up by the Great Sage of the Soldier Family to protect the mountain gate, but now it is damaged, and the sect has always wanted to find someone to repair it." It was Huo Hou who helped you open the Nine Star Chart before? ”
Liu Qing responded, his starry eyes shining: "Huo Hou is currently in charge of the guards, and his official duties are heavy, and it takes a lot of time to repair the formation of the five armies. ”
"Does that mean you can't let him help in vain?"
Qin Qingyu said with a smile: "Cultivating the Five Army Formation, Senior Brother Qingyang said that you can use the Wu Qibing Zha collected in the sect as a return gift." ”

The Chang'an Guard commands the main hall.
Huo Qubing had dealt with military affairs for a day, and in the evening, Xiao Ying came over and handed him a message from the secret detective.
Huo Quzhi and Ru Bohu are currently exchanging news and summarizing, including the battle in Beiguan, monitoring Huainan, digging deeper, exploring the connection between it and the writer, and continuing to trace the traces of the writer.
and even further investigate whether there are any hidden dangers in Chang'an that have not been cleared.
The news sent by Ru Bohu was that on the battlefield of Beiguan, he and Huo Qubing had secretly cooperated, and had deliberately released Tian You back to Huainan, and would pay close attention to what Huainan would do next.
Regarding Chang'an, there are still hidden dangers, which is also the common judgment of the two.
But in the past few days, Chang'an has not made any waves.
Ru Bohu analyzed that the people in the shadows were likely to have destroyed the layout because of Huo Quai's surprise attack, and temporarily stopped planning.
After Huo Quzhi saw it, he wrote the word 'same', which means that he agrees with Ru Bohu's judgment.
He also wrote a brief scroll and asked Xiao Ying to send it back to Ru Bohu.
This is the way the two have recently exchanged messages and cooperated with each other to advance this matter, and it is also a mutual recognition of the 'intelligence' of the other party.
Huo Quzhi's content to Ru Bohu pointed out that if the writer in the dark chose to suspend the plan, he would be watching and hibernating. Then it is a good opportunity for them to investigate the hidden dangers and put forward a few directions that he thinks should be dug deeper.
He believed that the identities of the two captives captured alive that day were not only important, but also likely to be special.
At that time, Green Flame burned his body, probably to hide his identity, and the more he did this, the more he had to stare in this direction and chase after him.
Regarding the true identities of the two people, Huo Quzhi boldly deduced that they might be from the clan, or the close family members of the clan, including the husband of the woman who married outside the clan, should be within the scope of the investigation......
It is related to the people of the clan, and it is indeed convenient to act and hide...... Ru Bohu received the news sent by Huo Quai, and his expression was heavy.
Both he and Huo Quzhi realized that the person who was burned to death might be a breakthrough if they could find out his true identity.
When the two of them are uncertain about their judgment, they can touch each other, and if they agree, they can further advance and improve efficiency.
Ru Bohu asked Song Ran, who was in charge of running errands for him and Huo Quai, in the past few days: "What is Huo Hou doing?" ”
Song Ran stood quietly aside.
Huo Quzhi and Shizun Ru Bohu are very busy, they even save the time to walk, and they all rely on the transmission of information when they meet, write clearly at one time, and then cooperate with each other.
She and Xiao Ying were completely reduced to errand tools.
"Huo Hou has been busy in the Guard Hall for several days, but today he has some free time, it seems that he has returned to Huo Mansion.
Shizun still has news for Huo Hou? ”
Ru Bohu waved his hand and said, "Since Huo Hou is resting, let's miss today, it's not too urgent." Go ahead. ”
Evening.
Huo Qubing left the Chang'an Guard Palace and went to his uncle Wei Qing's house.
After the two had dinner, they enjoyed the cool in the courtyard of the inner house.
The sound of insects came from nowhere and came up and down.
Wei Qing said: "You have to be cautious about things related to Huainan, and it's best not to get involved too deeply."
I am now the general, you are the commander of the Lang, and we should think more about doing things. ”
"Uncle, don't worry."
"In your opinion, will Your Majesty move Huainan or the Xiongnu first?"
"What Huainan wants to do at present, although it is already obvious, but I don't know how much involvement there is behind it.
Before the attack on the vertical and horizontal road, when Lujiang County was involved afterwards, some officials were dug out, and the position was not low. ”
Huo Quzhi said: "With the participation of that secret writer, it is difficult to determine how many people Huainan dragged into the water, especially in several counties around Huainan, this matter must be found out before it can be made." Otherwise, once we ourselves get into trouble first, we will cheapen the Huns. ”
Wei Qing nodded slightly.
The two turned to talk about some experience in the cultivation of soldiers, and it was not until the night was getting darker that Huo Qu was sick and returned to his mansion.
He returned to the back house of the house, bathed and cleansed, and then went to the study to practice and do evening classes.
The next day, Huo Qubing got up early to attend the court meeting, and after the court was dispersed, he began to deal with all kinds of military affairs.
By noon, a cat's head poked out of thin air beside him, with bulging cheeks and a piece of ancient jade in his mouth.
The big cat has recently used Huo Quai's magic power pocket as a cat nest, and he can't come out of it.
At this time, it poked out its head, and the ancient jade it sent out was the jade slip that Qin Qingyu gave to transmit the news last time, and a little spot of light appeared on it, and the array carved inside was shining brightly.
Liu Qing's voice came out of it, asking Huo Quzhi if he had time.
After a teacup of time, the Han princess came to the Chang'an Guard camp with brisk steps.
She was wearing an apricot-colored Hanfu, her steps were light, her rouge embroidered moire shoes were sticking out from her skirt, her beads were obliquely inserted, her black hair was hanging down, and her skin was like congealed fat.
Huo Quzhi got up from the hall and came to the door, Liu Qingyan smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite to see me." ”
“……”
Huo Quai: "I want to be active, and by the way, I went to Shiqu Pavilion to check some things." ”
"Oh." Liu Qing also walked out beside him.
Shiqu Pavilion is the earliest 'archive', similar to Tianlu Pavilion, which is a place used by the royal family to store books, located in the north of the front hall of Weiyang Palace, about 200 zhang, not far from the main hall of the guard.
Huo Qubing and Liu Qing came out and went to Shiqu Pavilion.
In the middle of summer, in the afternoon, the trees screamed endlessly.
The tall and magnificent buildings in Weiyang Palace are lined up one after another, and the two of them follow the shady place and walk all the way to Shiqu Pavilion.
The princess's attendants followed far behind.
Shiqu Pavilion is more than five zhang high, occupies the place is positive, makes a beam with a giant wood, and the weather is magnificent and magnificent.
Under the brilliant afternoon sun, the whole temple shone brightly, and the statue of the Rui beast on the eaves seemed to be swallowing the breath of heaven and earth.
"What is the princess looking for me?"
Entering the Shiqu Pavilion and walking among the rows of wooden frames, Huo Qubing finally stopped in the area where the ancient scrolls of the corresponding soldiers were placed.
"Shizun wants you to help me with the Hidden Immortal Sect and repair the formation map of the Five Armies Mountain Protection Array." Liu Qing asked.
"Yes."
"Huh?" Liu Qing was a little surprised that he agreed so happily.
"The elixir given by Qingyu Daozun last time helped me break through a small level, and now there is still medicinal power that has not been fully digested, and the preciousness is far beyond expectations. It will also be good for me to repair the army formation, so why not. ”
Huo Quzhi glanced out of the window of Shiqu Pavilion: "Who is following you from afar, who is sneakily looking here?" ”
Liu Qing also had a feeling: "Sister Long's heir, I have come to my Changding Hall once before. ”
The heir of Princess Longxi, that is Zhaoping Jun Chen Ji.
He secretly followed Liu Qing?
Twenty zhang away from Shiqu Pavilion, behind the corridor at the corner of a palace, Chen Ji, who was only eleven years old in a fancy costume, looked at Huo Qubing with Liu Qing in Shiqu Pavilion with a fierce face, and his brows were furrowed.
Ever since he saw Liu Qing's aunt, he had a different mood.
Eleven years old, barely a teenager, he doesn't understand love and love, but he is attracted by Liu Qing's elegant temperament and appearance, and always feels that this little aunt is the best woman in the world, and inexplicably has a disgust for men who are close to Liu Qing.
"Who's that man?" Chen Ji asked one of the attendants beside him in a deep voice.
"Hui Shaojun, that's the champion Hou, everyone in Chang'an knows it."
The attendant was a middle-aged man, standing behind Chen Ji with his waist bowed, seeing that his face was wrong, he carefully reminded: "Shaojun must not provoke that champion Hou, this person has outstanding military achievements, and he became a famous general of my Han Dynasty in one battle, which is very good." ”
"Outstanding achievements?"
Chen Ji's face flashed with a fierce color: "When I grow up, I will be much more powerful than him, let's see." ”
"You stay here and watch, I'll go back." Chen Ji turned around and left.
What Huo Quzhi consulted in Shiqu Pavilion was all related to the cultivation of the soldiers of the past dynasties to his current realm and to break through the level of the second stage of the Heavenly and Human Realm's soldier soul and yin body.
He went to his uncle Wei Qing yesterday and talked about the next stage of cultivation, whether to specialize in military talismans or to cultivate a yin body.
Wei Qing's advice is that when he practiced the art of war, he advocated not following the ancient law and using troops flexibly.
Personal practice can also follow this path, the practice method of the soldiers of the past dynasties, only for reference, how to practice, you can make your own ideas.
He thinks that good is the right way for him.
Huo Qu came to Shiqu Pavilion to consult the classics when he was sick, in order to understand the subsequent realm, and then make a judgment that suited him.
A classic that he paid more attention to corresponds to the life and various stages of practice of Han Xin, the famous Marquis of Huaiyin, when the country was founded in the early Han Dynasty.
Han Xin's name has left a name in history, and he is one of the most prominent military masters for thousands of years.
He was familiar with the art of war, and said that "the more the merrier", as a tactician, he left a large number of tactical allusions for future generations.
Ming repaired the plank road, secretly crossed Chencang, Linjin set up suspicions, Xiayang smuggling, Mu Poppy crossed the army, backed by the water for the camp, pulled out the banner and changed the banner, passed the stumbling, Shen Sha broke the water, half crossed and attacked, embattled, ambushed on all sides, and so on.
Han Xin's way of employing soldiers has been respected by all generations of soldiers.
He is the most outstanding general after Sun Wu and Bai Qi, and he is also the best general in the history of the thousand-year war.
The Battle of Jingcheng and the Battle of Weishui under his command are masterpieces in the history of warfare.
His remarks when he paid homage to the generals became the fundamental strategy for the victory of the Chu-Han War. From the beginning of his debut to the total annihilation of the Chu army, there was no defeat, and the world did not dare to compete with it.
Gaozu commented on Han Xin and said that he would win the battle and win the attack.
Later generations praised him as a god.
Han Xinbing's characteristics are flexible, able to adapt measures to local conditions, according to the terrain, the situation, the enemy and the enemy, and the opportunity to change on the spot, and the technique of using troops to fight is brilliant.
This is the same as Huo Qu's disease, they are both strongmen with full military talent, and they are amazing for thousands of years.
And this great soldier was in the early Han Dynasty, only a hundred years ago, and there are all the classics about Han Xin's life in the Great Han Sect, which are very detailed.
Huo Quzhi was looking up about the process of Han Xin's attainment of the Soldier Talisman Realm and then the conclusion of the Yin Body.
"The Marquis of Huaiyin uses more soldiers, the better, and there is more than one soldier and yin body. It is used as a spell, what kind of yin body is he, it seems that he can regenerate after it is destroyed, linking life and death, and there are many changes...... "Huo Quzhi thought while watching.
He stayed in Shiqu Pavilion for nearly an hour, and Liu Qing also found a Taoist scroll on the side to flip through.
Neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was comfortable, and one of them held an ancient scroll and read it with relish.
Coming out of Shiqu Pavilion, Liu Qing returned to Changding Palace.
Huo Qubing took the bamboo slips that recorded the life and achievements of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and prepared to return to the guard army.
And when he and Liu Qing were separated, at the corner of the building not far away, Chen Ji rushed back with some people, staring at Huo Quzhi with his eyes in the air, gritting his teeth and saying: "He actually stayed in Shiqu Pavilion with Aunt Qing for a whole hour, so daring!"
You'll beat me up and kill me. ”
He took advantage of this hour to go back and gather a group of helpers.
There are more than ten people in total, all of whom are children of the Chang'an clan, and even their close followers.
The older one was seventeen or eighteen years old, the same age as Huo Quzhi, and the younger one was about the same age as Chen Ji.
To Chen Ji's surprise, the few helpers he brought in were usually not afraid of heaven and earth, and they didn't ask who to clean up, so they came with him, but when they saw that the person he was going to fight was Huo Quai, they all changed color, and some shrunk their necks, turned around and ran away.
The rest were also pale.
Chen Ji stood there stunned.
When he was younger, he lived in his father's fiefdom, but he didn't know that Huo Qubing grew up in Weiyang Palace, and it was inevitable that he would intersect with them.
Huo Quzhi is more than ten years old, and he is now with a fierce temperament, including Liu Xiang, who now has a good relationship with him, who wanted to form a gang and establish the authority of 'big brother', and has had a painful experience.
The impression of the children of the clan on Huo Qu's illness can write a history of blood and tears.
And after they were hanged and beaten, the family even made trouble with the emperor, Liu Che said that the beating was right, the children of the clan owed discipline, let them be lawless, and sooner or later they would make a big mistake.
The tragic lessons of the early years made these clan disciples afraid of Huo Qu's illness like a tiger and remembered it deeply.
"Zhaopingjun, I advise you not to mess with him, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat."
It was the head of their group who spoke, the heir of the royal family of the clan, and he was ready to leave.
Chen Ji pouted, these cowardly guys.
He glanced at Huo Quai, who had walked more than ten feet away, and his face was furious, but no one helped him, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to beat him.
"You wait, sooner or later find a chance to kill you......" Chen Ji planned to retreat quietly, and then find a way to clean up Huo Quai's illness in the future.
When he turned around, he saw Huo Qubing actually appearing outside his father-in-law.
Chen Ji was shocked, he was obviously more than ten feet away just now.
The kid from the Yuwang family walked one step late, and he was also blocked, secretly frightened, and subconsciously stood upright, and forced himself to be calm: "Huo Hou." ”
Huo Quzhi's gaze fell on Chen Ji: "These people you are looking for come over?" ”
"What's the matter, if you dare to approach Aunt Qing again, I want your life......" Chen Ji said hatefully.
Huo Quzhi said to Liu Yan, who was standing aside from the Yuwang family, his face was pale: "His name is Chen Ji, you break his leg, I'll let you go." ”
Liu Yan glanced at Chen Ji: "What if...... If you don't hit him, are you going to hit me? ”
Huo Quai's illness has long since passed the time when he fought with these half-sized children, but this kind of clan disciple acts recklessly, and once the evil thoughts in his heart break out, he is even more fierce and ferocious than adults.
Since he has caught up, he does not plan to do it himself, but he does not delay the education of his hands.
"You still want to hit me, who borrows your guts......"
Chen Ji sneered: "You move me, I'll let you pay back your life." ”
Liu Yan next to him gritted his teeth, didn't beat Chen Ji, and was going to break his leg when he heard Huo Quai's meaning.
Liu Yan suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and together with the scabbard, he slammed it towards Chen Ji.
Click!
Liu Yan pumped on Chen Ji's calf bone twice in a row, with a crisp sound.
The blood on Chen Ji's face faded, and he fell to the ground with a bang, crying out with a wow.
He never thought of the identity of the clan in advance, and it was useless here for Huo Quai.
The servants on the side turned pale with fright.
I didn't expect Liu Yan to be so obedient, and really beat Chen Ji, and he was so ruthless.
Huo Quzhi shook his head and beat him out of his guts, and he would have a lot of scruples about doing evil in the future.
Seeing that Chen Ji's face was full of fear, he was completely angry after taking two blows, and his snot was full of tears. He turned around and returned to the Chang'an Guard's Office.
The next afternoon, Dong Zhongshu came to him in person: "I have been with you for a few days, and the things you promised me should also begin." Let's go to see Your Majesty together. ”
