Late at night, in the general's back house, in Huo Guang's bedroom.

Huo Guang and Huo Xian, who are the backbone of the Huo family, are speechless across a plan.

The flickering lights of the room cast on their faces, and shadows drifted back and forth in the hollows of their features, like corpse spots moving on their faces.

During the day, they had to put on the appearance of their masters in front of their slaves and maidservants to deter the restless slaves and maids.

At night, when the two are alone, they will take off all their disguises and face the increasingly broken situation.

On that day, when Huo Guang returned from the front hall, Huo Guang and Huo Xian still had a lot of hopes.

In their fantasy, Fan Mingyou and Huo Yu will eventually lead tens of thousands of troops to conquer Chang'an, and then welcome Huo Guang back to the court, so that he can continue to guide the country.

However, what they didn't expect was that Fan Mingyou and the others were defeated, and they were so completely defeated that even their heads had been sent back to Chang'an City.

Today, Huo Guang fainted in the main hall again, which naturally alarmed Huo Xian.

Fortunately, like the previous times, Huo Guang was pulled back from the ghost by Chun Yuyan again.

Except for the right side of the body that is still a little sore and numb, there is no major illness for the time being.

Huo Xian was busy today, looking even more haggard, and from the face of him, he was many years older than before: not only was her shrewd spirit gone, but also because she had no heart to apply grease and powder anymore.

As a result, the traces left by the years on her face were mercilessly exposed, leaving her old age with nowhere to hide.

From a graceful half-aged to an ordinary woman with skin and flesh, in just a few days.

"Husband, in the current situation, is there still a way for our Huo family to survive?" Huo Xian asked numbly.

Huo Guang didn't speak, because he didn't know if the Huo family would have a way to live in the future.

In the past ten days, the General's Mansion has been surrounded by swords and halberds, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Huo Guang and Huo Xian were naturally completely isolated from the outside world.

However, the Son of Heaven still sent people to send the edicts on the disposal of the Huo Party to Huo Mansion to give Huo Guang a "look".

The Ren Gong clan was exterminated, the Fan Ming friend clan was exterminated, the Tian Guangming clan was exterminated, the Tian Shun clan was exterminated, the Huofeng clan was exterminated, the Fan Shu clan was exterminated, and the Suchang clan was exterminated......

In just ten days, more than ten high-ranking families were wiped out, and countless small families were broken.

I am afraid that the number of dead is already in the thousands.

Among them, of course, also includes their fourth daughter and two grandsons, Pham Minh Huu's relatives.

Seeing that Chang'an City has completely changed, the Huo Party will be gradually uprooted.

Today, the big tree of the Huo family has not fallen, but the foundation has begun to loosen, and a breeze can blow it down.

The Son of Heaven was too ruthless, he ascended to the base month and did not kill anyone.

But in the past ten days, he has kept raising the butcher's knife - the people who have been beheaded in Beicheng Guo have been the same, and even the people are no longer willing to look at it.

Fortunately, among the many daughters and sons-in-law of the Huo family, the Son of Heaven only made a move against Fan Mingyou's family, and the rest were only temporarily imprisoned in the mansion.

Huo Guang sighed lightly and said, "Madam, this time, the Huo family is afraid that there will be less luck. ”

Huo Xian, who was only wearing a deep coat and had a cloak on his head, raised his head nervously, and let out a wail in his throat that seemed to cry but not crying, and he was extremely sad.

This woman didn't want to believe the situation in front of her, could the Huo family, which she was in charge of, fall like this inexplicably?

She's not reconciled!

"Didn't Yu'er already kill Fan Mingyou? The county official has not issued an edict to deal with Yu'er, maybe he can hide it? Huo Xian's eyes widened and he said unwillingly.

"He has a good way of doing things, all the evidence must have been destroyed, and the witnesses are estimated to have been taken care of, but it is still unknown whether he can hide it." Huo Guang shook his head and said.

"There is still money in this house, maybe I can use gold and silver to buy the swordsmen outside this door, and let them let me wait for a way out!"

Huo Xian was right, guarding the door were the swordsmen who belonged to the Weiyang Guard, but they were human beings after all, and if they were human beings, they would be easily tempted.

It is not difficult to use a lot of money to open the way, buy a few swordsmen and halberders, and let Huo Guang and a few others escape.

However, if you escape from Huo's house, can you escape from Chang'an? escaped from Chang'an, can you escape from Guanzhong? Can you escape from Guanzhong, and can you escape from the big man?

"Madam, there is still a glimmer of life in Chang'an, if you really escape like this, there will be no place for us to wait for this big man."

"Yes...... But I'm not reconciled, I don't want to be trapped in this Chang'an City! Huo Xian wailed again, and a few strands of silver hair completely spread out, making her look as hideous as a demon.

Huo Guang saw that Huo Xian had no usual glamour and brilliance at this time, where did he have the heart to appease her, but there was a faint trace of disgust in his heart.

"Madame doesn't have to be so worried, the county official has given the old man an iron coupon for the Danshu that can be exonerated from the crime, maybe he can save Huo's life......" Huo Guang said uncertainly.

"Husband is so confused, this Danshu iron coupon is rewarded by the county official, and the county official recognizes it as the Danshu iron coupon, and the county official doesn't recognize it, and even the toilet bricks are not as good as ...... How can the husband be gullible......"

Huo Xian chattered, his two lips opened and closed quickly, and gradually changed from complaining to swearing: she didn't scold the Son of Heaven, she scolded the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

As long as she could think of the vicious language, all of them were thrown on the body of the Empress Dowager Shangguan - this is what Huo Xian has done the most in these days.

Every time Huo Xian beats and scolds a slave maid, he regards the other party as the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and he always has to kill him, otherwise it is impossible to kill a slave or maid in a day or two.

This is Huo Xian's personality, she always feels that everyone in the world is wrong, only she Huo Xian is right.

She can do all the bad things for the Huo family, but she does not allow the Empress Dowager Shangguan to avenge the Shangguan family who was wiped out.

Compared with her, Huo Guang is much calmer.

"Madame!" Huo Guang couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly raised his voice and scolded.

Huo Xian, who was immersed in anger, was taken aback, and finally gritted his teeth and unwillingly quieted down, but his mouth was still chattering.

"The Danshu iron coupon is given by the county official, hidden in the temple, and the ancestors of the past dynasties have been sacrificed, and it is impossible for the county official to go back on his word."

"This gold medal for exoneration can be exempted from all crimes except for the crime of conspiracy against the death penalty......"

"Yu'er......, even if it is a coercion of rebellion, but killing Fan Mingyou before the battle is equivalent to self-confession, and he can be exempted from punishment, plus the Danshu iron coupon, he will not die no matter what!"

"The old man repairs another book and begs the county official, and he can always get back a peaceful peace for the Huo family."

"It's a good thing to survive."

The more Huo Guang spoke, the more sad he felt, and when he said the last few words, he was already a little choked.

Once upon a time, he Huo Guang was still a general who had the right to kill tens of millions of people, but now he could only wag his tail and beg for mercy from the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Heaven would let the Huo family live.

And this Son of Heaven, who can take his own life at any time, is still hand-chosen by himself - he knew that this was the case, Huo Guang might as well choose the hateful King Guangling that day!

Thinking like this in his heart, Huo Guang saw an illusion again in the dark: behind Huo Xian, many figures appeared.

Shangguan Ji, King Yanra, Sang Hongyang, Emperor Xiaozhao, Yang Chang...... and Emperor Xiaowu......

They were all drenched in blood, their skin rotten, and there were long worms crawling in and out of their mouths and noses......

These people sat behind Huo Xian, looked at Huo Guang with a smile, raised their hands in unison, and kept waving to Huo Guang, as if they wanted Huo Guang to sit down together.

Huo Guang's eyes were full of horror, and he shook his head sharply before he dispelled the terrifying illusion.

Fortunately, there was nothing in that place, only Huo Xian looked at him with a pair of eyes.

"Can you keep your official position as General Sima? Can you keep the title of Marquis of Bolu? The official positions of so many people in my Huo family can be ......" Huo Xian was still unwilling.

"Madam, the matter has come to this, the things outside the body can only be put down, how can the high-ranking family care about the momentary gains and losses......"

When Huo Guang said this, his heart hurt even more, for him, letting go of the power in his hands is no different from dying once.

However, it is time to let go first, to retreat to the road of desperation, in order to have hope of life.

Keep people, keep a reputation, and there will always be a turnaround in the future: this is the essence of the family.

"Husband, like this, can the county officials really let our Huo family go?"

"The county magistrate should be ......," Huo Guang thought for a while and said, "I should let the Huo family go, after all, there is still Cheng Jun, isn't Cheng Jun still the queen?" ”

Queen, Queen! Yes, Huo Chengjun is still the queen, maybe the Son of Heaven will still read some affection?

Maybe it will be ...... in the future

"Then, that husband will come and write, and I will send someone to the palace tomorrow, so that the county officials can see it earlier, the county officials are benevolent and righteous, and they will definitely let our Huo family go!"

Huo Xian smiled nervously, then stood up in a panic, and hurriedly went to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

In a short time, she prepared all the necessary text and ink on the case, and looked at her husband with an expectant face.

"Husband, you have to carefully consider the words and sentences, and you must move the county official, the county official dreams of being a benevolent gentleman, and he will definitely forgive the Huo family...... I will definitely forgive the Huo family's ......"

"The county magistrate calls you your middle father and my mother-in-law...... is a good son-in-law, he is just pretending to show Zhang Anshi those thieves. ”

Huo Xian chattered endlessly, looking at Huo Guang excitedly and vacantly with a pair of wide apricot eyes, as if he had forgotten that he had made a big deal of nonsense a moment ago, and had the audacity to curse the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

This is the essence of Huo Xian, both crazy and rational.

She has a lust for money, a lust for lust, a lust for power – and a desire to live.

The things outside her body in front of her can't be grasped anymore, so she has to hold on to the last thing - to live.

"Mencius" said: If people can do what they want more than life, then why not use those who can be born? If there is no worse than the dead, then why not avoid the sick?

If you don't want more than your life, then you can use all the ways to preserve your life.

If there is no disgust more than death, then what is the worst thing that can escape calamity?

When one makes survival and avoiding death a priority, then many things can be done.

After all, those who can achieve "mighty and unyielding, rich and noble cannot be moved, and poor and lowly cannot be moved" are only a minority after all.

Huo Xian asked for life and death!

She saw that Huo Guang was still hesitating, and did not put down the pen, although she was still smiling, her eyes became a little fierce.

"Husband, why don't you still put pen to paper?"

Huo Guang's neck was cold, he removed his eyes from Huo Xian, and finally slowly began to write.
