The dawn emerged from the ends of heaven and earth, dispelling the darkness that had enveloped the earth all night.

Huo Quai's eyes were slightly closed, and the qi in his body flowed, scattered in the limbs and veins.

This is the method of yin and yang in the secret scroll given by the emperor, which is a method that is different from one's own cultivation and nourishes the body.

Huo Quzhi looked at Her Royal Highness the princess who was extremely tired and sleeping.

It works well with this method by himself, but why is Liu Qing so tired.

I was knocked out of my practice, so I was tired like this?

Liu Qing's skin is delicate and seems to have no pores. According to the ancient scrolls, the woman with the best skin is as warm and white as jade, and that's probably it.

Her long waterfall-like hair was spread out, her eyes were closed, and under her beautiful neck were delicate collarbones and knife-like smooth shoulders, and then the curve was sharply plump. However, they were all covered under the quilt, and only a small crystal gripping foot poked out of the quilt, and the blood vessels under the back of the foot were faintly blue.

Getting off the couch, Huo Quzhi dressed himself neatly.

Seeing that the sky was already light, he opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Master Hou can eat or bathe and rest."

The maid at the door asked in a low voice, and glanced at it secretly as she spoke, but she saw that Huo Qu's illness was radiant and she didn't see any fatigue.

The two waitresses were shocked, and both said: "Master Hou stays all night, take care of your body." ”

The female officials in the palace have a listening room and remind the master to exercise moderation and pay attention to the responsibilities of the body, and can be used as half a doctor.

Huo Qu snorted and walked away: "Let the princess sleep more." ”

"Yui." The waitresses agreed in unison.

Last night, the house was in the early hours of the morning, and the wedding feast was dispersed.

In the next few days, the Champion Hou Mansion will also be very busy, and it will be full of people to receive visitors from all over the world.

Huo Quzhi walked to the back of the mansion.

The emperor and several important ministers, as well as the things sent by the head of the clan, there are many special things that need to be dealt with.

The side hall used for congratulatory gifts can be seen from afar.

Those who are good at observing qi can see that there are five-colored treasures outside the house.

Even Daozun and Qin Qingyu were attracted by a wisp of qi and rushed over.

"The emperor and the hundred officials, as well as those clans, are generous."

Daozun looked at Huo Quai, who came over, and said, "Champion Hou, your big wedding, if the things you get are used to build my Hidden Immortal Sect, it will probably be able to expand to four or five of its current scale."

The wealth accumulated by a large clan for several generations is less than what you have gained from this big wedding. ”

"It's just a human exchange." Huo Quzhi said lightly.

What I got this time was mainly because those clans were a little ruthless with their members.

They probably thought they wanted to take the money to redeem the inheritance.

Huo Quai's illness went with the flow, and he never explained what others thought.

When he came to the back house, he ordered someone to take out the gifts he received and tidy them up a little.

When Song Ran was brought into the inner house by the Hou Mansion's pro-army, what he saw was Huo Quzhizheng and Daozun, and Qin Qingyu and the three of them were looking at a few rare things.

The three of them sat in the middle of the inner lake in the house, in a hexagonal pavilion.

When Song Ran approached, he heard Daozun talking:

“…… The map of the Tiger's Den Town Mansion has made many hidden sects search for many years, and it turned out to be in the hands of the royal family.

However, your house is in Chang'an, what big deal can you have, you need to use the tiger's den map to arm, and you have wasted the power of this treasure map. ”

Daozun paused: "Your Majesty gave the Tiger's Den Diagram to Ling, then in the palace, the layout must be the Longtan Diagram?" ”

"Hmm."

Huo Quzhi answered, and picked up the bronze scroll in front of him, which was the tiger's den array diagram.

"The house I used to live in didn't have any defenses. Now that I have a family, it's good to lay out a formation map. ”

Huo Quzhi pushed with the strength of the soldiers, and the spirit of the soldiers in the tiger's den was cold, and he flew out of his hands and melted into the ground of the mansion.

The entire Champion Hou Mansion ground, walls, and even the void all had a qi machine that was stirring, connected like lines, intertwined several times before disappearing.

Roar!

A seemingly nonexistent tiger roar was heard.

Huo Quzhi took out a small copper box, which was the wedding gift given by Ru Bohu before.

The copper box was densely covered with incantations, opening in a shimmer of light.

The sound of the machine buckle sounded, and it was divided into four directions, and four small and delicate bronze beasts rose respectively, like a military order tiger talisman.

These four bronze beasts are the brave and invincible Qiangqi, the fierce beast Qiqi who devours ghosts, the Badger Pig who is the embodiment of justice, and the Pixiu who can collect all kinds of breath and accumulate wealth, and only enter but not leave.

Although the bronze beast is small, it is lifelike.

They rose from the copper box, and their bodies lit up with dense incantations, corresponding to the four directions, and exhaled a breath.

The aura turned into a phantom, and finally imprinted on the front and rear gates of the Champion Mansion, and on the outer walls on the east and west sides, it became a relief-like pattern.

The gift given by Ru Bohu is also a bronze beast inherited from ancient times, which can protect the peace of the house.

The four bronze beasts are used together with the tiger's den, and the meteorological changes of the entire Hou Mansion are like the tiger's den in Longtan, which is extremely strict, and the treasure light that was reflected in the sky before is all covered, and it is no longer visible.

Dao Zun glanced at Qin Qingyu.

The meaning in the eyes of the two of them is probably this: The essence of our Daomen's existence for thousands of years, and the number of qi derived from it, he will catch up with it once he gets married?

After Huo Quzhi finished doing this, he asked Song Ran, who was waiting closely: "Is there any news?" ”

"Yes, as Huo Hou expected."

Song Ran said: "After His Majesty sent an edict to Siyi and came to Chang'an to meet the ministers, we paid attention to the trends of all parties in Siyi. The first anomaly was in the northwest, where the Guqiang and other tribes under the jurisdiction of Lingqiang gathered, and there was a tendency to raise troops to disturb the border......"

Daozun and Qin Qingyu listened clearly on the sidelines, and they thought in their hearts: Champion Hou is going to take the surrounding four Yi to attack.

The emperor's decree that Siyi came to the dynasty was an introduction and bait.

Subsequently, Huo Quzhi immediately asked people to monitor the movements of the four yi, and whoever moved first would fight him, forming a deterrent to the other four yi...... Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.

Song Ran said and handed over a secret scroll.

Huo Qu's illness took it over and looked at it.

All of them are specific information about the Qiang people.

It is divided into more than 100 Qiang tribes, ranging in size.

This time, it was the leader of the ancient Qiang tribe, Dian Zhen, and Mu Langtuo, who took the lead in convening the various tribes of the Qiang tribe.

"The Qiang, Di and other ethnic groups gathered in the west of our Han Dynasty, and they could not be completely eliminated after repeated levies. The reason is that the southwest, northwest and other places, the terrain is complex, and the southwest mountainous area is full of miasma, only the long-lived Qiang, Di and other ethnic groups are familiar with the situation. ”

Song Ran said: "When we send troops in a big way, they will retreat into the mountains.

When we retreat, they come out, and so they continue to be forbidden, but tend to get worse and worse. ”

Song Ran introduced the information in the dossier to Huo Quzhi:

"Dian Zhen and Mu Langtuo are both leaders of the Qiang tribe in the southwest.

They often plundered and harassed our Han realm, and in the past, among the chieftains of the Qiang and Di tribes who were most closely connected with the Xiongnu, Dian Zhen was one of them.

Four years ago, the Xiongnu invaded the north, and the Qiang people also responded on the western front of our Han Dynasty, sending troops to attack Xiguan, killing Shan Chao, the general of Yucheng, and Shan Chao's wife and daughter did not let go, and set fire to the city, resulting in countless deaths and injuries It was this Dian Zhen. ”

Song Ran's eyes were cold: "Shizun asked me to tell Huo Hou that he said that the Qiang, Di and other clans are entrenched in the west of the Han Dynasty, which is the closest to Chang'an, and it is really a problem for his henchmen.

But it is extremely difficult to get rid of them, so Qin Shi has repeatedly failed to conquer them so far, and Shizun is looking forward to Huo Hou being able to show his troops again.

If the hidden dangers of Xiqiang can be calmed, in the matter of expanding the territory, Shizun will not only stand on Huo Hou's side, but also help Huo Hou to work together to promote. ”

Huo Quzhi said dumbly: "Your master will be tricky, and he promises empty promises."

I can't sweep Xiqiang, and he has to stand with me, because I stand with His Majesty. ”

Song Ran thought about it, this is indeed the truth, and the corners of his mouth were curled.

……

Inner house.

Liu Qing's eyes moved, slowly opened his eyes, and looked out the window.

The light reflected in was red like fire, and it was already evening.

Slept all day?

The lethargic thoughts slowly subsided, and I remembered the experience before going to bed...... No wonder the husband is brave in battle, how fierce his attack power is, Liu Qing has a deep understanding.

She lay there, staring at the curtain above in a daze, feeling a lazy tiredness in her bones, and she didn't want to get up.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the door.

The rhythm of the steps is constant, and the weight and distance of each foot fall seem to be carefully measured with a ruler, and the score is exactly the same.

Liu Qing's small ear wheel moved slightly, and when he heard that Huo Qu was coming back, he hurriedly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and pretended not to wake up.

Then he heard the sound of the door opening, walked to the wooden couch, and lifted the hanging veil.

Snapped, it was slapped, like a water mass rolling.

"It's time to get up, you have the physique of a phoenix returning to the nest, and you have taken the pill left by your aunt, it should have been good a long time ago."

Liu Qing groaned softly and opened his eyes.

The cold and compelling face was next to the wooden couch, with a lofty figure, and her eyes looked at her unscrupulously when she first woke up from spring sleep.

Liu Qing said softly: "You go out first, I want to get up and dress." ”

"Hmm." Huo Quzhi actually turned around and left the dormitory very obediently.

Liu Qing sat up from the quilt and moved a little, although he was a little tired and lazy and had no strength, but he was indeed fine.

She first found and put on the lined coat on the big couch, then twisted her legs from the couch, poked her long legs out of the couch, and then put her white feet into her shoes, and then slowly got up and walked.

Thinking of the introduction of the phoenix's return to the nest physique on the secret scroll, Liu Qing's face doubled with beauty.

At this time, the waitress came in and helped her change into an apricot dress. It's getting late, so you don't have to dress up anymore, and you have to go to bed for a while anyway.

Huo Qu was sick and came back, but he carried a food box.

He told the waitresses to step back, opened the food box himself, and took out a clay pot for making soup.

"You drink a little, and it will be cooked in the morning, and the heat is just right."

Huo Quzhi's personality is calm and sharp, but with a family, he still has to be humble and peaceful to his daughter-in-law.

After speaking, he took out the warm stew in the food box and put it in front of Liu Qing slowly.

Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes were soft and moving, and she drank the soup in small sips.

"Are you feeling better?" Huo Quzhi asked.

Liu Qing snorted lightly and said, "It hurts all over my body." ”

Huo Quai: "You said yesterday that you wanted me to take you out for a walk and see the world." Your Majesty promised me that I don't have to go to court in the near future, if you are in good health, you can rest. I'll take you to Chang'an for a walk. ”

Liu Qingxi said: "Really. So where do we go? ”

Huo Quzhi had already prepared, took out a map from the pocket of the supernatural power that he had created out of nothing, spread it out:

"In my Han Dynasty, Chang'an is already the most prosperous place, if the princess wants to go out for a walk, let's go farther."

"Well, I listen to my husband." Liu Qingmei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Huo Quzhi pointed out three locations on the map, namely Beiguan, the coast, and the northwest.

Liu Qing was a little reminiscent and felt that it was not right: "Why are they all border gates?" You're going to patrol the border, and lie to me and tell me to take me out for a walk. ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "How can it be a lie, don't delay." Don't you always want to be a chivalrous woman, we must go to the border to conform to the style of a heroine.

I haven't been to the border, what kind of woman is I. ”

Liu Qing's eyes flashed: "Then I'm going to see the sea, let's go south." ”

Huo Quai: "It's boring to see the sea, let's go northwest first, and take you to see the desert smoke, the sand and the sea are full of sky, the same sea, and it is extraordinarily magnificent." ”

Liu Qing snorted lightly: "You obviously want to inspect Xiguan, but taking me there is just a passing." ”

Huo Qubing promised: "Next time, I will take you to the south to see the sea, this time I will go to see the sand sea first." ”

Time is in a hurry.

Counting the days, it has been three days since the wedding of the champion Hou.

The heads of the Li family, the Wang family, and other clans were patient enough not to disturb the newlyweds during these three days, and on the fourth day, they felt that it was almost over, and they were ready to come to the door to ask when they would be able to get the inheritance back.

When several family owners came to the Champion Hou's Mansion together, it was morning and the sun was shining.

But seeing that the gate is solemn, there are two huge town gate beasts outside the main gate, which are majestic and majestic.

At the entrance of the court, the forbidden army stood in armor and stubbornly.

An attendant went up to deliver the prayer post, and after a while, he came back and reported to several family heads: "The porter said that the champion Hou took the princess on a trip, and it will take at least half a month to come back from the city this morning." ”

Several heads of the family were stunned.

It's over, and the inheritance is detained in the military mansion, and it will take another half a month.

This time I came to Chang'an, and it seemed that I couldn't go.

Several people looked at each other.

Earlier, Huo Qubing did take Her Royal Highness the Princess, a team of 200 forbidden troops, and a team of embroidered clothes out of the city from the west gate of Chang'an.

Also accompanying Zhang Qian in the team was Zhang Qian.

After leaving the city, the group went straight to the northwest.

Liu Qing was dressed in a military uniform, and on his feet was a kind of upturned soft leather boots from the Western Regions, which were beautifully decorated, outlining the tight lines of the calves, in order to protect against wind and sand.

The two hundred forbidden troops divided into two teams and opened the road in front and back.

A single attaché also accompanied the front and back, leaving the middle to the two, enjoying the surprises along the way as they walked.

"Husband, I want to ride a horse with you."

Liu Qing saw that there was no one nearby, his eyes overflowed, and he glanced at Huo Quai.

Seeing Huo Quzhi nodding with a smile, he immediately jumped in front of him and rode together.

In the past few days, the two of them have participated in the study of the secret volume together, and their feelings have increased day by day.

After galloping for a day, by the evening, he had chosen a location near the mountain hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, and camped on the spot.
