A windy summer evening.

In the main building of the main hall of Pingkangfang, the lights are bright.

Daozun sat in a corner, his face short and his complexion dark, which was very different from his usual appearance.

When Huo Quzhi walked over to his location, Dao Zun's expression changed at first, but he quickly took a light breath, his expression was calm, and he sat there peacefully.

Huo Quzhi came to the nearest place and sat down next to Daozun's position.

"You are?"

The face of the big man transformed by Daozun showed a vivid expression of surprise, indicating that he did not know Huo Quai.

His voice has also changed, and the slightly rough voice of the middle-aged man matches the image very well.

Huo Qu was sick for a long time: "You are ready to die and don't admit who you are, right?" ”

Dao Zun became more and more surprised, and said in surprise: "You know me? ”

Huo Qu took out an ancient jade slowly.

This is the message that Qin Qingyu gave him at the beginning.

"If you want to resist death, I can't help it, but I'm going to let Qing'er and Qingyu Daozun come over together to see if they recognize you?"

So ruthless...... Dao Zun was hit by the vital point, blinked his eyes, and said softly and in a low voice: "I have changed my appearance with my internal breath, and even the fluctuations of my divine soul are hidden, how do you recognize me?" ”

Huo Quzhi didn't respond.

didn't betray Zhang Cigong, saying that his nose was smarter than a dog, and he smelled it.

Daozun snorted lightly, admitting that he was unlucky, and explained:

"I just got those two Dao Jane, and there are some special feelings here, I suspect that there are 'son' people here, so let's take a look."

Huo Quzhi was unmoved: "Continue to make it up, I'll hear if you have any other excuses." ”

Daozun was silent for a moment, and suddenly became a little angry, I come, you come too, why are you arresting me?

Still threatening me?

Daozun said: "I'll just come and see what's wrong, do you think you can catch my shortcomings?" Aren't you here too? If you dare to turn around and accuse me, I'll tell Qing'er that you're here too, and you're still having fun here! ”

This is to die together, at the expense of tearing the skin.

I have dirty water on my body, and you don't want to clean it.

"You go, I'll say I'll check the matter and see if you believe me or not? You see, I still have a lot of people with me, if I come to find a woman, can I bring so many people with me? Huo Quzhi was calm.

Daozun glanced at Zhang Cigong and the others who were looking at each other in the distance, and everyone had a smile on their faces, but they tried their best to hold back their expressions.

Retracting his gaze, the blood on Daozun's face faded little by little.

After Huo Qu's illness, he pretended not to know each other, saying that he would come to track down the clues of Dao Jian, and then bite back, and everyone died together.

All three methods were foiled.

Dao Zun was a little helpless, and muttered, "You never came to this kind of place, why did you come today?" ”

Huo Quzhi said: "I heard that you are coming, so I came." ”

…… Feelings specifically came to catch him currently.

Seeing Huo Quai's squinting eyes, Daozun decided to strive for leniency:

"I swear in the name of Dao Ancestor, just to see the excitement, and I have no other thoughts."

After that, he took out a simple book from his sleeve: "Look at it, this is the cultivation experience left by the ancestors of my Daomen. In our lineage, everyone has their own way, and there are different ways of cultivating them. ”

Huo Quzhi smiled and groaned: "Your old man's way is to visit the girl's house?" ”

Daozun felt the yellow mud fall into the crotch of his pants, he couldn't tell clearly, and said in a dying struggle:

"I can't help but be red in the dust, even the Taoist ancestors have descendants, I have been out of the dust for decades, and my practice has fallen into a bottleneck in recent years, so I want to try to enter the world to practice, I really come to feel the fireworks in this world, and I have no other ideas.

I've been here for days and haven't done anything. ”

"I understand, your old man will come and take a look, is it good-looking?"

“…… Not bad. ”

Daozun: "I'm really here, you say, how can you help me keep it secret?" ”

Huo Quzhi spread his hands and said, "Let's see how you perform in the future." ”

He didn't say what to do, let Daozun figure it out for himself.

Daozun stretched out his hand to wipe his face, feeling that the rest of his life might be difficult.

Being held by a calculating soldier like the champion Hou, and then trying to get out, the possibility is infinitely close to nothing.

The key is the champion Hou, who has no bad hobbies, and he can't fight back if he wants to grab a similar handle.

Daozun suddenly had the idea of running, and in the future, he refused to admit that he had come, see what this kid can do?

"If you run, I won't stop you, but Zhang Cigong over there, I didn't let them come, save face for you, if you run away, they will become witnesses. I'll talk to Qingyu Daozun and Qing'er when I go back. "Huo Qu's illness is expected to be in front of the enemy.

Daozun remained silent, silently pressing the raised ass back into his seat.

"Can you guarantee that those under your command will also keep it a secret?" Dao Zun said dejectedly.

Huo Quzhi: "Of course, they are all soldiers. I give an order, let them carry out the military order, and no one will talk nonsense. ”

Dao Zun nodded slightly, and accepted the arrangement of fate.

Then he looked ahead with a natural expression, pretending that he was concentrating on the song and dance.

It just so happened that a veil descended from the front platform, enveloping the entire wooden platform.

The lamps in the hall were also placed by the people who had arranged them in advance, and in an instant, they blocked the light and suddenly dimmed.

Only the curtain behind the screen on the stage is extra bright.

Two slender figures, reflected behind the gauze curtain, waist and hip twisting, through the gauze curtain, mysterious and hazy with temptation.

Huo Quzhi's eyesight is very abnormal, and he can see through the surface of the veil.

Inside the veil are two orchids from the Western Regions.

They wore light and seductive clothes, boldly showing their fair arms, long legs, and a small part of their waist and abdomen.

The dance is accompanied by the deep timbre of the huqin, which is full of exotic style.

The two girls have deep noses and eyes, their posture is considered to be superior, and their skin is as white as jade, but there is still a gap between them and their stunning beauty.

However, in the current atmosphere, the audience is paying attention and making enough gimmicks. No wonder it can be spread in Chang'an, everyone wants to try the taste of foreign orchids.

Huo Quzhi also looked at it quite relaxed.

When he returned to the elegant hall on the second floor, Zhang Cigong and Liu Xiang were no longer among them, so they went to the hall and went to the depths of the peach blossoms to have fun.

Li Dang was ready to move.

But he was afraid of Huo Quai's illness and his own face, and he endured it and didn't move.

Starlight is lonely.

Huo Quzhi took Huo Guang and Daozun out of Pingkangfang, and when he left, Li Dang also followed.

But Huo Quzhi knew that this goods would secretly go back when he turned his head.

Several pro-army members did not have families, and Huo Quzhi also gave them a night off.

These pro-soldiers fight to the death on the battlefield, occasionally indulge, and there is no need to stop them.

Huo Guang followed alongside, still dancing with his eyebrows when he walked.

This majestic Chang'an City is so fun.

"There are some things you have to know the severity, if you make a mistake, I will send you back to Pingyang, and you will not be allowed to come to Chang'an again for the rest of your life." Huo went to the sick road.

Huo Guang was taken aback: "Brother, don't worry, I don't dare to mess around." Again...... I don't have any money. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "In the future, you will come to the house every month to receive a sum of money, eat and drink, not extravagant, but you don't have to be too frugal." ”

"Thank you, brother." Huo Guang saluted.

When he returned to the house, he arranged a small courtyard for Huo Guang to stay overnight.

"Husband."

When Liu Qing heard him coming back, he came out of the inner house and saw Daozun: "Shizun also came back with him?" His eyes swept over Daozun.

"I went to walk around the streets, and when I got sick, we came back together."

Dao Zun was cautious.

Before coming back, he had already dispelled the unique smell of Pingkangfang, leaving no trace.

The big cat squatted on the wall, staring at Huo Quzhi with cold and faint cat eyes, and then at Daozun, his nose fluttering.

It is a spirit animal, with a much more sensitive nose than ordinary animals, and a faint smell of seafood.

The big cat gave it a look when he saw Huo Quai, meaning to let it go to Daozun's side.

The big cat immediately understood what it meant, pounced on Daozun's side, and made a sniffing appearance.

Seeing that Liu Qing's eyes turned back to him, he also sniffed with his nose, and Daozun almost fled.

Huo Quzhi drew all his attention to Daozun, and calmly returned to the backyard.

The couple returned to the dormitory, bathed and changed, and stayed up all night, leaving the bed to endure the hardships it should not have endured.

It was near early in the morning that Huo Qu came to the study in good spirits.

Meditation and practice the five martial arts of the Yin Fu Taishang of this scripture, the martial arts in the body are scattered and integrated, and the stars and the natural power of heaven and earth are connected, and the power is like the Yangtze River, and the cycle is inexhaustible.

You must know that the cultivation of each family and sect, the later it goes, the more it absorbs the power of heaven and earth, the more it is not enough to supply itself and continue to break through the realm.

The further back you go, the longer the breakout period.

Some take years, more than a decade, or even decades before a breakthrough can be made.

However, the heavens and stars corresponding to the Taishang Five Martial Arts and the Guiding Talisman are equivalent to more than one more channel to sympathize with the heavens and the earth, and the majesty of the qi that is exhaled is far better than ordinary practice.

This is one of the differences between the level of practice.

Huo Qu's body was like thunder, and his breath was rushing, pushing his strength to the next realm.

Time passes in a hectic and spiritual way.

Three days later, Huo's mansion held a banquet to celebrate Huo Guang's worship of Dong Zhongshu as his teacher.

Huo Qubing invited officials from various ministries in Chang'an and clan strata to come together.

At present, the Han Dynasty is making every effort to promote the economic, cultural, military, and integration of the Western Regions with the Han Dynasty.

The so-called rich country is nothing more than to keep the people fed and clothed. On this basis, let them have a stable income, so that they dare to spend money, so domestic demand expands, and the expansion of domestic demand will pull up circulation and increase the inflow of external goods.

After the banquet in the Hou Mansion, in the study room of the inner hall, Dong Zhongshu and other officials at the Jiuqing level gathered together to discuss state affairs.

Huo Quzhi sat in the main seat, but did not intervene much.

He mainly focuses on the military, and in other aspects, he is at most the driving force behind the scenes.

When Dong Zhongshu and the others expressed their opinions, he glanced at Huo Guang.

Qi Zheng and Bai Yu followed behind Dong Zhongshu left and right, listening intently.

This was also the first time that Huo Guang participated in the discussion of the gathering of officials from various ministries of the Han Dynasty.

He occasionally showed a thoughtful look, and whispered to Bai Yu beside him.

At this time, Huo Quzhi let people take many small pockets.

When I opened the pocket, it was full of all kinds of crop seeds collected from the Western Regions and even other neighboring countries.

"The return of the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty, the circulation of materials brought, we can speed up the promotion, so that the clans and merchants will take bigger steps.

The countries that come in, such as vegetable seeds, can be semi-compulsorily by the government, and the scale of cultivation can be accelerated and expanded. ”

Huo Quzhi recalled the benign changes brought about by the Silk Road in later generations, and said: "Silk is unique to my Han Dynasty, and after contact with other countries, the demand will inevitably increase greatly."

Now is the time to prepare to increase silkworm farming in various places. ”

Historically, the opening of the Silk Road greatly enhanced the national strength of the Han Dynasty, and the types of cash crops and armaments were also improved to a certain extent.

At present, Zhang Qian has been ordered by the emperor to start exploring the more west, that is, the region and country west of the Western Regions.

This means that the Silk Road has officially begun.

The Silk Road will become an opportunity to further establish the social attributes of the Han people as men and women weaving, increase the income of the people, and when the people are generally prosperous and have income from their labor, the society will become more stable and the foundation of a strong country.

Everyone took the seeds and examined them in their hands.

Huo Quzhi thought that it was a pity that the three major 'artifact' seeds of agriculture had not yet been transmitted from the West, otherwise the problem of increasing yield could be easily solved.

Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner.

August heat.

The emperor wanted to hunt, and the location was chosen in Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Palace was the political center of the Han Dynasty second only to Weiyang Palace.

The emperor often lived here for several months a year, especially in the summer, and only returned to Weiyang Palace in the autumn.

During the period of Qin Shi Huang, the front hall of Ganquan Palace was built, which led to Lishan.

On the basis of the original, the Han Dynasty expanded it into a complete Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Palace is located in Chunhua Ganquan Mountain, so the base is the Yellow Emperor's Ming Court Ganquan land, located in Chang'an hundreds of miles north.

The complex is large and magnificent.

Historical records say that the Son of Heaven often summoned princes here and feasted foreign envoys. Within the radius, there are Changding Palace, Gaoguang Palace, Bamboo Palace, Tongtiantai, Windward Pavilion, Luhan Pavilion, Chuxu Pavilion and so on.

The palace wall is as solid as a mountain wall, the length of the south and north sides is more than 600 zhang, the west and east sides are 300 zhang, and the whole is rectangular.

In the middle of the city wall on the west, south, and north, there is a gate for each.

There are two giant bronze figures standing at the entrance of the palace.

Early in the morning, the team set off from Chang'an under the support of the forbidden army, and there were not a few emperors, empresses, clans, officials of various ministries, and personnel.

Out of Chang'an to the north, in the afternoon came to Ganquan Palace.

By the time the team had settled down, it was already evening.

At this moment, the ground in the Ganquan Mountain area suddenly shook.

"Earth dragon turned over?"

Everyone came out of Ganquan Palace, looked east, and saw a purple gas rushing into the sky in the distance.

The emperor was also alarmed, and came out with hundreds of officials to look.

"What happened?"
