[Vol. 1] Verse 169: Sealing the Wolf Juxu 2

------------

The army stepped on the beautiful spring light along the road, all the way to the hustle and bustle.

In a few days, the Malay newspaper was explored.

"Report! The general, the hussar general, and the Hedong Taishou went out of the city to greet him. ”

Wei Qing frowned, he had a headache when he saw these magistrates, and it was inevitable that he would not be suspicious of giving people a handle if he was polite, and it was easy to offend people if he was not polite, so for many years, Wei Qing had encountered the magistrates, either by taking a detour or by pretending not to see it.

As everyone knows, Wei Qing's cold face has already offended many people who ask for him, and gossip is short and long year by year, and there is a children's song secretly circulated among the masses, the words say: "There is no joy in giving birth to a man, there is no anger in giving birth to a girl, and I don't see Wei Zifu dominating the world!" ”

Clearly talking about Wei Zifu, actually refers to Wei Qing, Wei Qing, Wei Qing's three sons, counting the nephew Huo Quai, a family of five marquis, almost ancient and modern, envy, jealousy and hatred of many people, digging out the hollow of the mind There are also many people, but the door of Commander Wei's house is really difficult to enter, in addition to the last dynasty, going out on the expedition, he usually lives in a simple place, never raises a soldier, and has no bad habits, it can be said that he has reached the realm of the gods and goddesses, and you want to go to his door to trust his relationship, which is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Besides, Commander Huo, his door is easy to enter, after all, he is a young man, and his scheming is not so deep, but Commander Huo Xiao's temper is not very good, except for those people who are close to him, he can greet him with a smile, and when he sees everyone, he seems to owe him money, and his cold and arrogant eyes can make you shiver from afar, and you still want to beg him to do something, unless his head is caught in the door panel.

Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

In this case, those who are not welcomed can only make up a small song to vent their anger, and through the masses who do not know the truth to spread it, the small song actually flew all over the street.

When Huo Quzhi heard that Hedong was excited, he asked with a slightly excited expression, "Is Pingyang ahead?" ”

"General Hui, exactly."

Huo Qubing didn't say anything, but saw him hurriedly unload his sword, carry the crossbow on his back, and hug his fist to his uncle, "Uncle, I'll go back when I go." ”

After speaking, he beat the horse like flying.

Wei Qing was about to call him, but when he saw Huo Quai's flying horse floating a few feet away, he couldn't call it, so he ordered several deputy generals around him to follow him immediately.

Huo Quzhi soon saw Pingyang City.

Hedong Taishou saw it from afar, so he ordered the greeting personnel to cheer up twelve points, and when the person approached, the Taishou saw that the person who came was actually the famous general Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi saw Taishou, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and made a simple salute.

Taishou was overjoyed in his heart, "I used to say that Huo Quzhi was a famous cold-faced Bodhisattva, but now it seems that people are not telling the truth, but they are still very polite, and the old man's face is big enough."

was about to get close to the celebrity in front of the emperor, but before he could speak, Huo Quzhi asked, "Which one is the Pingyang County Commander?" ”

These words were like a hot ear scraper hitting Taishou, it turned out that he would be wrong just now, this time he specially ordered officials at all levels of the county government to come to greet him, but he didn't want his subordinates to give the first place.

After all, Taishou is an old fritter in officialdom, although he is unhappy in his heart, he still has a smile on his face, he said with a smile, "General Yu, he is." ”

I saw a coarse black-clothed official take a step forward humbly, and Huo Quzhi asked again, "Do you know that there is a Huo Zhongru in Pingyang County?" ”

"If you go back to the general, the lower official knows!"

Huo Quzhi was excited again, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is he, take me quickly." ”

"Yes! The general comes with me. The prefectural order bowed to Taishou, who nodded in agreement. The county order brought the horse and led the way for Huo Quai.

"Little general, when will the big general enter the city?" Taishou shouted, seeing Huo Qu's illness and entering the city, Taishou remembered that he almost forgot the most important thing. If you don't put on a good show today, the arrangements of these days will be in vain.

"And then there!" After Huo Qu finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared.

The county order and a few officials took Huo Quai, a few people turned left and right, turned to an old house with blue bricks and gray tiles, the plaque on the door was written with two big characters of "Huo Mansion", which looked like some years, the vermilion paint of the lettering had fallen sparsely and fell a lot, the door was only six feet wide, uneven, and the threshold had rotted, and it seemed that it had not been repaired for a long time.

On both sides of the door are sun-engraved couplets, and the handwriting is also worn and illegible.

"Little general, this is the old mansion of Huo Mansion, do you want to send someone to report first?"

Huo Quzhi shook his head, he turned over and dismounted, and motioned to the soldiers to tie their horses and wait outside the door, and he went in alone, so as not to disturb the people in the house.

Huo Quzhi stood in front of the door of Huo's mansion and did not immediately push the door in.

For many years, he has been dreaming of meeting his father, and now, his father is close at hand, but he can't take a step, he can not frown in the flesh and blood, he can be calm in the army, but hesitate in front of an old house, I can't tell if it's nervous, let alone excited.

Father, this figure that everyone is familiar with, is so vague in his life of Huo Quai.

Since he was a child, everyone has hidden from him, saying that his father died on the battlefield on the frontier, avenging his father, and hating the country has become the biggest motivation for his hard work, and when he grows up, he knows that his father has never been on the battlefield, he is just a small official in Pingyang Mansion, just taking into account the royal face, everyone is secretive.

"The royal face has made him a person who lacks fatherly love for more than 20 years", Huo Quzhi laughed at himself helplessly, "No matter what, I have to recognize my father today." ”

I was about to knock on the door, but I heard a child's shouting, "Hey, who's coming, what are you doing in front of my house?" ”

Huo Quzhi looked for the sound, only to see a little boy with a bamboo basket full of grass on his back appeared in the alleyway, looking about ten years old, I saw that he had a beautiful face, combed the horns, wore a white robe, and his body was very clean, he was holding a scroll of slips in his hand, and his other hand was clenched into a fist, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

Huo Quzhi knew that the little boy must have regarded himself as a bad person, so he suddenly became a childlike person, and deliberately teased him, "Who are you?" ”

"Why should I tell you if you don't tell me?" The little boy walked quickly to the door and blocked Huo Quai.

"Boy, don't you see that we are all people in military uniforms, I am afraid that it will scare you when I say it, we are here to catch thieves!" Huo Quzhi continued to tease, and he made a posture of rushing in.

"Wait, how do you know there's a thief you want to catch?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Huo Quzhi thought that this little boy was too funny, and said nonsense with a wicked smile.

"See it with your own eyes? Who can prove it? ”

"Ah, they can do it!" Huo Quzhi pointed to those pro-soldiers.

"You are in a group, and the testimony is not credible."

The little boy's righteous look amused everyone.

Huo Quzhi didn't want to continue to embarrass the little boy, so he pretended to think for a while, "Okay, if you can tell me who you are, I won't go in." ”

"Really?" Little boy.

"Big husband, once you say it, it's hard to chase the horse." Huo Qu's illness is colorful.

The little boy stared at Huo Quzhi carefully, pondered slightly, and suddenly raised his head, put his hands on his waist and said, "The eldest husband will not change his surname, and he will not change his name, and the younger brother of the current hussar general champion Hou is surnamed Huo Mingguang." ”

"Huo Guang." Huo Quzhi was shocked in his heart, it turned out that the little boy in front of him turned out to be his younger brother.

He looked carefully at the younger brother in front of him, his heart was soft, he found that this younger brother was indeed a little similar to him, he was overjoyed in his heart, today is really a happy day, he has another younger brother.

Huo Guang didn't want to move out of his brother Huo Quai's name, because he just accidentally heard his parents talk about it, when he was young, he once asked his father if the heroic Huo Qubing was really his brother, his father beat him up, and warned him not to talk nonsense outside, but children have a heroic dream, since then, he has never met Huo Qubing as his brother, and Huo Guang is very sensible at a young age, and he has never said this outside.

Today, it seems that there are so many people, and they are still carrying swords, and in a hurry, he disobeyed his father's ban and raised his brother's name.

Huo Qubing didn't blame Huo Guang, he knew that Huo Guang was moving out of Huo Quai's name to scare himself and prevent people from breaking into the house, he touched Huo Guang's head, put away the expression that he pretended to be fierce just now, and said, "Then, please report to the mansion, and say that Huo Qubing came to visit." ”

Huo Guang nodded, turned his head and pushed the door open, the door creaked shut, and then, with a squeak open, Huo Guang poked out his little head and asked suspiciously, "Huo Quai?" What a coincidence, you have the same name as my brother! ”

The door creaked and closed, and Huo Quzhi and the others were amused by his stupid self-talk.

It didn't take long to hear a loud movement inside the door, and it seemed that there was a mess inside.

At this time, I saw that the door was completely open, and a woman came out, Huo Guang followed behind the woman, half hiding behind the woman's skirt, and all the people in Huo Mansion were standing on both sides.

"I don't know if the champion Hou is here, I will miss the welcome, fortunately, don't blame!" The woman saluted Huo Quai.

This woman should be my father's wife, Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, the woman pulled Huo Guang out and asked him to salute Huo Quai.

"Huo Guang meets the general's brother."

Huo Quzhi touched Huo Guang's horn again, nodded, the first time they met, Huo Quzhi fell in love with him, a smart and clever half-brother, if he can be cultivated well, his younger brother may become a pillar of the country in the future.

The two exchanged a few words, and Huo Quzhi realized that his father was not at home, and someone from Huo Mansion had already gone to look for him and came back, and Huo Quzhi entered the hall of Huo Mansion to wait.

At half a cup of tea, a half-white man appeared in the hall, his eyes facing each other, tears streaming down his face.

I didn't say anything for a while.

Huo Quzhi stepped forward, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to Huo Zhongru and said, "It's not filial to be sick, I don't know that my father is still alive." ”

Huo Zhongru burst into tears, and hurriedly helped Huo Quai, "Get up, get up, child, you are not unfilial, the old man can have a child like a general, it is the greatest favor of God." ”

He may not know that the young Huo Guang on the side is also favored by God.

The two of them cried with joy.

After all, they are connected by flesh and blood, and the two have never met for more than 20 years, but there is no strangeness.

Huo Qu was sick and the emperor was in his body, so he couldn't stay for a long time, so he spent a few days in the old house of the Huo family in Pingyang, and bought a large number of fields and houses for the Huo family. So he said goodbye to his old father and went all the way north.
