In the middle of a team from Xiguan back to Chang'an, there was a huge chariot.

This car has a very long history, and it is the car of Shan Yu Yizhi that was seized from the Xiongnu royal court.

After the seizure, the car was sent back to Chang'an, and the emperor asked the Mojia craftsmen to keep the frame, renovate it, and add or remove facilities.

The day before yesterday, the emperor sent the forbidden army to send the chariot to the border pass and gave it to the champion marquis.

Shan Yu Yizhi's car was given to Huo Quai, which has a special meaning, which means that his military exploits are brilliant, and it is a symbol of the Hun royal court.

This chariot retains the design of a spire like a large tent, with six beams at the four corners, and integrates into the structure of the Han Dynasty Palace, like a small mobile palace, with four horses riding on horseback.

After Huo Quai's order to return to Chang'an, he arranged all the affairs of the border passes, left Li Kang, and Zhang Cigong assisted Zhang Jun, and embarked on the journey back to Chang'an.

The chariot given by the emperor himself must be sat down to show respect.

In the car, Huo Quzhi was retracting the idea of observing the Xiongnu royal court with the help of Vina's 'perspective'.

Vina didn't actually assassinate the Great Shaman.

In contrast, letting her lie dormant among the high-level within the Xiongnu would be more beneficial to the next situation.

A big shaman is not too much of an obstacle for the current Huo Quzhi, and there are other opportunities to kill him.

Before Huo Qu's illness could retract his thoughts, Vina had already left the Great Shaman's tent.

With the help of Vinatar, he also saw the scene in Ulaanbaatar at this time.

On the high ground, the rebuilt Xiongnu royal court tent, observed from the level of divine thoughts, there is actually a layer of black flame-like breath, swirling around the royal court, as if it is burning, and the weather is amazing.

The entire Xiongnu royal court, just like Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, was shrouded in a thick purple qi is a truth.

After the Xiongnu were hit by Huo Quai's major blow to the royal court, because of the return of the Heavenly Soul Department led by Borage, their luck was recovering.

When Huo Quzhi was busy expanding the territory of the Han Dynasty, Borage and the Great Shaman were also making efforts to integrate all departments of the grassland and achieve great results.

It can also be seen from this battle with the Hutu Department that although Huo Qubing only attacked the place of Hugh Tu, most of the Western Huns were involved in the subsequent counterattack.

The influence of Borage among the Huns should not be underestimated, and the various ministries regarded him as an invincible god and a guardian of the shaman in the world.

His return allowed the Xiongnu to regain a strong cohesion.

However, the more this is the case, the more Yi Zhi will be afraid of him, and the more room for Vena to play his role...... Huo Qu was sick: If the war starts again next year, it will definitely deal a fatal blow to the Xiongnu and make their national fortunes plummet......

Huo Quzhi sat in the main seat in the car, and Dong Zhongshu and Daozun were still sitting on the wings.

Opposite the two, is Bai Nanyu, who is dressed in a lake-green long skirt, sitting quietly on her side, with a thin waist like a willow and a plump leg line.

She is still wearing a copper mask, her watery peach blossom eyes are hidden under the mask, and she occasionally glances at Huo Quai, charming and smart.

"How are you injured?" Huo Quzhi asked.

After the defeat of the Han army, Bai Nanyu left the camp late at night and entered the garrison of the Xiutu Department after withdrawing from Xiu Tuze, with the purpose of assassinating the enemy chieftain.

It's a pity that King Hutu has always been cunning, and he slept as a stand-in in the king's tent, and was silently beheaded by Bai Nanyu.

After she found out that it was not Queen Hutu, she groped around in the enemy camp and successfully assassinated King Hutu's uncle Khotanyu before retreating.

She was also injured by the siege of the guards who rushed in after Khotan's death, and she had more wounds in her lower ribs.

This woman can not only stand alone, but also know how to advance and retreat, which is very suitable for being an assistant.

The key is to look good.

"It's okay, the injury will heal soon." Bai Nanyu said.

The carriage was quiet again.

Huo Quzhi took out a picture scroll and began to deduce the contents of the scroll.

Daozun squinted his eyes and glanced at them, and coughed lightly, "Are you looking at the Lishan Warrior Formation?" ”

Dong Zhongshu also opened his eyes from the fake sleep when he heard this.

Huo Quzhi nodded slightly: "If you want to get back Dao Jian, you have to start from this figurine array." ”

Dao Jian fell in the imperial tomb, and Dao Zun was also thinking about how to get it back in the past few days, but there was no good way.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor is probably one of the most sinister and difficult places in the world.

Hearing that Huo Quzhi was studying the figurine array, and wanted to help him get Dao Jian back, Dao Zun smashed his mouth and said, "Is there any progress?" ”

"Well, I'll find time to go to the Imperial Mausoleum again in the next few days."

At this time, Dong Zhongshu interjected: "What is Huo Hou going to do next?" ”

"The situation is pretty clear at the moment, and I mean the surrounding areas. When we left Chang'an, the lords of Wuhuan, Buyeo, and Xianbei were on their way to Chang'an.

The envoys of their various ministries will also arrive in Chang'an to negotiate for the redemption of the lords of the various ministries.

If nothing else, these will be subordinated to the subordination. The border of our Han Dynasty will be able to advance hundreds of miles north. ”

Dong Zhongshu said eloquently: "This time Huo Hou attacked Xiqiang, although it was only a series of small battles, but Xiqiang was originally composed of many scattered tribes, and the direction to the Western Regions had been defeated by Huo Hou Twenty-four Qiang villages of various sizes.

In a short period of time, the Qiang people will never dare to easily disturb our Han Pass.

Moreover, the Hutu Department was repulsed and relocated, and the obstacles from Xiguan to the Western Regions were sharply reduced, and the surrounding situation was now very good. ”

"So what?"

If you ask for something, you must first promote it. Dong Zhongshu was praising Huo Quzhi's exploits in the south and north just now, and Huo Quzhi was waiting to hear his next turn.

The old master folded his fingers and said:

"In the spring and summer of this year, Huo Hou fought the Huns twice. Subsequently, Huainan put down the rebellion and swept the surrounding departments, although the capture was abundant, but there was also a lot of consumption.

This time, tens of thousands of soldiers, horses, and grain and grass were mobilized to break the slaughter department, and some of the grain stores were burned at the border pass. ”

Dong Zhongshu said cautiously: "I calculated, after the battle of the Ministry of Slaughter is over, the repair of the canal left by the former dynasty will be postponed next year, and it will have to be a big deal if the fight continues." ”

Huo Quzhi nodded slightly, this time Dong Zhongshu was not singing the opposite, he was telling the truth.

The emperor specially ordered him to return to Chang'an, and it was not without the intention of letting him suspend the offensive.

Since ancient times, fighting a war has been one of the most expensive expenditures of the national treasury.

There were many battles this year, and although the captures were abundant, they could not directly offset the attrition.

Huo Qu was also thinking about whether to get his brother out in advance and participate in governance.

That product is a good hand in governance, and he is also a ruthless person who has been known through the ages.

In this life, he has his own pressure, and he should not follow the old road of history and his tail in the later stage.

But at this time, if Huo Er is brought out, it may not be a good thing.

First, far water can't save the near fire, and Huo Guang also needs a long time of training before he can shine.

Secondly, in the established history, because of Huo Quai's early death, Emperor Wu transferred his reliance and trust in Huo Qubing to Huo Guang to a certain extent.

In this world, if Huo Qubing has been living well, the situation will obviously not advance according to the established historical facts.

In addition, if Huo Guang develops according to the original route, there is still a hidden danger.

The combination of Huo Quai, Wei Qing, and Queen Wei Zifu is already prominent and unspeakably expensive.

Fortunately, this kind of prominence has an obvious emphasis, that is, the main military and does not participate in other political affairs.

If Huo Guang comes out, he will get involved in state affairs other than the military, and his authority will become heavier and heavier.

The two Weihuo families are not only eminent in power, but in power for a while.

As a minister, the authority is so heavy that the family is dominant, and there is not even a check and balance, it is not far from overturning, this is the experience summarized by history, without exception.

These are the future trends that Huo Quzhi has to consider.

Huo Guang...... Whether to let him come out early and what to do after he comes out, Huo Quzhi has been thinking about it for a while.

While the group was talking, the vehicle galloped, getting closer and closer to Chang'an.

Huo Qubing pushed the chariot with a marching strategy, and set off in the morning, before sunset, it was close to Chang'an.

This time when he entered the city, Huo Qubing changed his ways, and asked the scout to go to his house in advance and told Liu Qing not to come to pick him up.

When they reached the gate of the city, the army was disbanded and returned to the nearest camp.

He and the remaining more than 100 pro-soldiers opened the side gate to take the royal road, and covered their tracks by hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, secretly entered the city, and went straight to Weiyang Palace to see the emperor.

At the city gate, Taichang Zhou Ping was dressed in an official robe, with a happy face and a holy decree in his hand.

After the general won the battle with the foreign people at the border pass, and returned to Chang'an, he was usually to read the holy decree outside the city, and wear a red crown to enter the city, which was a national rite that could not be changed.

Zhou Ping knew that Huo Qubing was reluctant to parade the streets, and this time he also had an extra heart, so he came to the city gate to wait for him early with the holy decree in his hand.

He also made up his mind to recite the holy decree when they met, so that the champion Hou had no chance to dodge.

Behind him were two attendants holding a crown and a red cloak, just waiting for Huo Qu's illness to appear.

I see how you're hiding this time...

However, until the sun set, there was no trace of Huo Qu's illness.

Zhou Ping felt that something was wrong, so he asked people to ask, and the news he got was that Huo Qubing had already entered the city, not only visited His Majesty, but also returned to his mansion.

It was a bolt from the blue, and I waited for the news that I had returned to the city in the afternoon, and I didn't see the shadow.

Where did he get into the city, and why didn't anyone come to tell me...... Zhou Ping said sadly.

Now this person has to fight wits and courage to enter the city.

……

Sunset at night.

Bai Nanyu left the team on her own before entering the city and secretly returned to the city.

After she entered the city, she was not in a hurry to return to Zhuo's Mansion, but came to the border area between the south and east of the city and took Huo to the small courtyard where she had been sick once.

I entered the yard, entered the house on my own, and looked at the sides of my cheeks in the mirror.

Wearing a bronze mask for a long time, leaving two red marks, Bai Nanyu reached out and rubbed it, and the red marks gradually subsided.

She lifted her skirt in the mirror again, revealing her well-proportioned and delicate calves as white as porcelain enamel.

When I went out with Huo Quai, I had to ride a horse for a long time.

And Bai Nanyu generally doesn't sit on horseback with her buttocks firmly, she knows her own family affairs, and the position behind her is too plump and upright, sitting on a horse, the traces of pressure and the waves generated when going up and down are quite tempting, and they are not suitable in the army.

Bai Nanyu herself felt a little ashamed.

Therefore, when riding a horse, she always tightens the saddle, exerts force on her legs, and her buttocks are always a little away from the saddle, and her movements tighten the whole body to reduce ups and downs.

This puts a lot of pressure on her calves, which is why she can only maintain it for a long time with deep cultivation.

She looked in the mirror, her calves hadn't changed, they were so well-proportioned and smooth that she couldn't even see the pores.

Bai Nanyu pursed her lips and smiled, then put back on her mask and came out of the house briskly.

At the same time, in the darkness of the corner, a silent 'differentiation' of a figure from virtual to real appeared.

"Sect Master!"

The shadow was a tall, thin man, and from the shadow behind it, another figure stood up.

The two of them separated like nesting dolls.

Bai Nanyu, one of the original nine masters of the vertical and horizontal road, and the subordinates under his command are called ghost warriors.

Some of his cronies joined Huo Quzhi with her.

"The two of you are in Chang'an, don't use the means of a hundred ghosts walking at night. There are many unfathomable people in this city, and it is safest to maintain the appearance of ordinary people. Bai Nanyu frowned.

"We've written down the sect master's words."

The tall ghost who came out first was very obedient, and the nesting ghost who came out later was very lively, it seemed to be a woman, and his voice was crisp:

"Sect Master, rest assured, the Hundred Ghost Night Walking Technique is also used in this house, and we all pretend to be normal people when we go out."

"Pretending to be normal?"

The nesting doll ghost immediately said: "I will first find a place with a lot of people, secretly absorb their yang energy, and then cover myself, pretending that my yang energy is very strong, just like a normal person." ”

Bai Nanyu stretched out her slender fingers and stroked her forehead:

"You use magic to disguise your yang energy, and you still think that you are pretending to be very good, and you are a normal person?"

Matryoshka Ghost Priest: "Yes, after all, my cultivation is not as deep as the sect master, and I am not disturbed by yin qi." If you want to pretend to be an ordinary person, you can only absorb yang energy and disguise. ”

Bai Nanyu sighed lightly, the youngest of the ghost warriors under his command has never been very smart.

"You don't have to pretend to be an ordinary person in the future."

She threw out a jade plaque that Huo Qubing gave her to identify herself.

When the embroidered messenger or the city guards saw it, they knew that it was under Huo Quai's command, and they could let the ghost soldiers come in and out unharmed.

Bai Nanyu asked about the matter: "I have been walking for all these days, have you found what you are looking for?" ”

"The cultivation method of the ghost body of the soldier is a secret that has not been passed down in ancient times, and there is no exact news from the other parts, only a few suspected targets, it should be in several major sects that have escaped the world, and the sect master wants to annex and integrate these major sects and reunite the complete Great Yan Technique of the Soldiers, I am afraid it will not be easy."

The tall ghost man stepped forward and handed out a jade slip: "This is the clue we have found. ”

He also said: "In addition, there is also news, that is, the leader of the Yan Sect has sent a message to bring up the family affairs again, and wants to accept the sect master as a concubine.

He said that if the suzerain was willing to marry him as a concubine, he would do his best to help the suzerain, and dismiss the other concubines, so as to favor the suzerain alone. ”

"Phew!"

Matryoshka ghost: "He also deserves it." He had more than forty wives and concubines, and he was sixty or seventy years old, right, and he still wanted to accept the sect master? ”

The tall ghost man continued: "In addition, some hidden sects in the world have been moving a lot recently, and they seem to want to unite and do something. ”

Bai Nanyu hooked the corners of her mouth: "Some of them are external forces in the vertical and horizontal directions, secretly linked, I am afraid that someone is pushing behind them." I know what they want to do, go against Han, fight against Huo Hou, and just look for death.

What else has changed? ”

The tall ghost man took out another thing: "This is another thing that the sect master asked us to find." ”

Bai Nanyu said unexpectedly: "I actually found it." ”
