At dusk, Huo Xian, who was frightened, finally returned to the Huo Mansion where things were wrong.

When he left the Violent Room Prison, Huo Xian was already mentally prepared for the destruction of the Huo Mansion, but when he actually walked in, he still couldn't help but feel heartache.

For some reason, some of the swordsmen inside and outside the gate have been removed, and there are fewer subordinate officials in Tingwei Temple.

But in just a few days, this Huo Mansion was full of devastation, and it was full of depression.

Coupled with the snow that no one cleared anymore, Huo Xian felt a lot more lonely.

Under the angry gaze of the sword halberd, Huo Xian kept moving forward in the familiar corridor, looking at the seals in black on a white background on the courtyard door and the door, without saying a word.

Why did this Huo family lose so quickly, and they were powerless to fight back, what went wrong?

The answer is obvious, it is nothing more than Huo's over-inflated greed and evil thoughts, but Huo Xian is still unwilling to face it

Finally, after this exhausting trek, Huo Xian came to the courtyard of the middle mansion.

Before he walked in, Huo Xian met the lame old slave Zuo Qi outside the courtyard, and he was holding a small plan, which should be sent to the bedroom of the middle mansion.

"Ahh Madam? Nearly sixty years old, Zuo Qi exclaimed.

Zuo Qi is an old slave who followed Huo Guang from Pingyang County, Hedong County to Chang'an, and he has been a master and servant for forty or fifty years.

So he is one of Huo Xian's rare house slaves who can't beat and scold - of course, Huo Xian won't have any respect for Zuo Qi.

"How are you doing these days, General?" Huo Xian asked indifferently as before.

"Okay, good, everything is fine with the general, but this Xuan wine is getting more and more drunk, and I have to drink it ...... a day" Zuo Qi, who was full of wrinkles, wanted to speak and stopped.

Since the Son of Heaven invented Xuanjiu and rewarded Huo Guang with the first one, he has never been able to do without it.

Especially in the past two months, because there are a lot of troubles, Huo Guang drinks more and more Xuanjiu every day.

Huo Xian looked at the wine, and then looked at the quiet bedroom in the courtyard, and did not speak, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

At this moment, her mood has gradually calmed down, and she has to quickly negotiate a charter with the two men in the family.

"Is there enough wine for a day?"

"It's enough, the county official is benevolent and righteous, and he didn't deduct wine and food."

"Is Yu'er back?"

"The little general was taken into custody at noon today...... I was sent back, and I'm resting in the middle of the room at the moment. ”

"Is Yu'er injured?" Huo Xian asked a little eagerly, I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to really put Huo Yu back?

"Although he was a little haggard, he was not injured and everything was fine." As he spoke, Zuo Qi raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Huo Yu was almost watched by Zuo Qi to grow up, so when it comes to Huo Yu, he naturally has relatives in his heart.

The ordinary people of the Han Dynasty are so strange, and many times they only talk about feelings, whether they are right or wrong.

Just like this Zuo Qi, he lost all his land because of the land annexation, and then the whole family sold himself into slavery with the Huo family.

Since then, Zuo Qi's family has been doing things for the Huo family for several generations: Zuo Qi is a slave, his chaff is a maid, and so are his descendants.

But this Zuo Qi not only did not hate anyone in the Huo family, but felt that the main family suffered such a disaster.

And unlike those evil slaves who bully others, Zuo Qi is honest and duty-bound, he has never done anything wrong, nor has he eaten too much, and his total net worth is probably only six or seven thousand yuan.

It is clear that life is extremely miserable, but it is difficult to understand how to empathize with a high-ranking general.

However, there are not a few people like Zuo Qi, and I don't know if they are benevolent or stupid.

"Then Yu'er has met with the general?"

"After the little general came back, he went to the main room to greet the general...... Zuo Qi said in a low voice, "Today, the sword halberd warriors have withdrawn a lot, and they can finally say a few private words." ”

"The great general has ...... Is the general angry? Huo Xian hurriedly asked.

"Why not be angry...... The general scolded a lot, and it seemed that he had been saying that the little general was rebellious and wild, and he smashed things in the back......" Zuo Qi said with palpitations.

I'm afraid it wasn't just that he smashed something, Huo Yu may have been beaten.

Huo Xian smiled a little paranoid and mean, and actually felt a sense of relief.

It seems that Huo Guang already knows everything, so it is better to save the tongue of the explanation later.

Those conspiracy things that Huo Guang did behind his back came to the bright road, and there was no need to hide it.

's husband, presumably, will also let go of the bullshit of the Han loyal ministers, and then try to think about what other ways to break the situation.

Now this Huo Mansion is like a broken ship, it is already full of holes, and the river is still pouring in, and it looks like it is about to sink.

In any case, you have to think again, and you can't wait to die.

Even if it's only for a day or two, you have to think about it!

When Huo Xian was wandering in Chang'an City, he didn't know how many times he had experienced nine deaths, and in the end, he still picked up a life when he was about to starve to death?

At that time, except for being young, Huo Xian had nothing, which was even worse than now.

However, Huo Xian survived at that time, and only then did he wait for a lot of turnarounds.

In terms of survival, in the entire Han Empire, I am afraid that no one can compare to Huo Xian's persistence.

"Is this tonight's dinner?" Huo Xian asked.

"Yes, there is still food in the dining room, and the old slave will have to get it later, and now it is all made by the kitchen in the palace, and the county official is still thinking about the general's ......" Zuo Qixu said babblingly.

"Let me bring this wine in, you go to the side room and call Yu'er to eat together, and then go to the dining room to bring the rest of the meal together."

"No!" Zuo Qi smiled happily, he had never been so happy in the past few days as he was at this moment.

Huo Xian took the small plan from Zuo Qi's hand, and walked straight towards the bedroom in the courtyard.

All the way to the door, hesitated for a moment before pushing the door and walking in.

Compared with the bedrooms of ordinary large households, Huo Guang and Huo Xian's bedrooms are naturally much larger.

In the middle is a main hall, on the left is a study, and on the right is an inner room with a bed.

At this moment, the lights in the room were dim, and there was a pungent smell of wine, which made Huo Xian frown.

After his eyes adjusted for a while, Huo Xiancai saw a figure on the couch in the main hall - his shoulders were slumped, his gray hair was scattered, he was holding a cup in one hand and a pot in the other......

It was Huo Guang.

He muttered to himself as he pondered himself, like a madman in Beichengguo.

The aura of decadence and impotence emanated from this black shadow, merging with the darkness in this room, making Huo Xian feel disgusted—she was actually not as good as her own woman.

The entire bedroom was already a mess, the valuable ornaments had been cleaned up, and many boxes were unevenly opened, as if they were laughing at the Huo family's downfall with their mouths open.

"Did you find the wine?" Huo Guang lowered his head and said in a daze.

"The wine is here, but let the concubine tie the general's hair first."

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, and then the white head slowly raised up, and his cloudy eyes stared at Huo Xian from the scattered hair.

Without the fierce aphrodisiac of power, Huo Guang, a strong man, collapsed with a bang.

He had already recognized Huo Xian, but he didn't have any movements or expressions.

Compared with Huo Guang's downfall, Huo Xian became more and more calm, she put down the wine in her hand, found a comb, walked behind Huo Guang, and tied his hair.

From beginning to end, Huo Xian's movements were extremely gentle, without any condensation, no different from the countless movements of bundling his hair in the past few decades, and it seemed that nothing had changed in the past few days.

After a while, Huo Guang's messy hair was finally tied up, revealing his face and having a little bit of the majesty of a general.

But the cloudy eyes, the swollen bags, the trembling hands, the wrinkles cut by the knife, the black and purple face, and the chapped lips...... Make him look more like an old man in his last years.

Huo Xian didn't say much, calmly came to Huo Guang's front and knelt down.

"Husband, a few days ago, it was the concubine who was crazy, she didn't choose what to say, and she said foolish things, and she came here today to ask her husband for her guilt."

Huo Xian finished speaking a little indifferently, and bowed solemnly: the slender body was bent into an extremely beautiful arc, which made people think about it.

The poisonous woman with a heart like a snake and a scorpion seemed to admit her mistake, but she did not deny what she had said that day.

At this time, what difference does it make if you don't deny those bad things, or if you don't pursue those bad things?

It seemed like only a moment had passed, and it seemed like a long time had passed, and a heavy sigh sounded in the room, as if something had broken.

"Get up." Huo Guang slurred the first sentence after the two met.

Huo Xian finally straightened up and said: "The county official said that there is no evidence for the sin of the concubine, so let the concubine come back, spend a small time with her husband and Yu'er, and share the joy of family." ”

"The county magistrate is kind." Huo Guang sighed again.

"Zuo Qi has already gone to prepare dinner, and it will be here in a moment, and our family can also have a reunion dinner." Huo Xian stood up after speaking.

At this moment, Huo Yu also happened to appear outside the door of the bedroom, and there was a bruise on his forehead, which was thought to be Huo Guang's masterpiece.

For a while, a family of three who had not been reunited for several months was speechless, but in fact, they completed the exchange and reconciliation in silence.

"Sit down, we'll have dinner together." Huo Guang said.

"No."

After a short time, the old slave Zuoqi limped up the food and put it on the cases of several people.

Maybe it's because Huo Xian came back in a bit of a hurry, and the food prepared by the chefs is a little insufficient, so compared to the usual Roshan Meat Sea, it looks a little shabby.

A small bowl of steamed rice, a knife of scorched semi-fat mutton, a bowl of egg custard with lettuce and some storage in the summer.

It's all about eating.

In addition to these foods, there was also a small pot of reheated Xuan wine in front of the three of them.

Although the old slave Zuoqi was lame, he was very clinker, and after arranging the wine and food, he immediately went to light a charcoal fire and lit a few more lamps.

After Zuo Qi's busyness, he finally regained some vitality in this bedroom.

"Zuo Qi, you step down, in the past ten years, you have done a lot of things for my Huo family." Huo Guang said slowly.

Zuo Qi was panicked, and hurriedly put down the sundries in his hand and bowed down in front of Huo Guang.

"The general is serious, this is the duty of the old slave!"

"That lame leg of yours was broken back then in order to stop the fierce horse rushing towards Yu'er, the Huo family has never expressed it, it's really ashamed."

"It's all the old slave's business!" Zuo Qi said in a choked voice.

"Yu'er, Zuo Qi is your savior, make a bow to him, if there is an afterlife, he should be his cattle and horses." Huo Guang said.

Huo Yu frowned, glanced at Zuo Qi with some dissatisfaction, and didn't want to stand up.

But under Huo Guang's forced gaze, Huo Yu still stood up reluctantly and hastily bowed to Zuo Qi, and Zuo Qi hurriedly returned the salute.

"Are your relatives alright?" Huo Guang asked.

"They are all imprisoned in prison...... "Zuo Qi's face full of vicissitudes of life was a little more worried.

"In the past, when the Huo family was still passable, they didn't treat you better; Now that the city gate is on fire, it will affect the fish in the pond. Huo Guang smiled helplessly.

Zuo Qi didn't speak, but faithfully lowered his body again.

"If I knew this, the old man should have given you more rewards, and I wouldn't feel ashamed at this time."

"General, don't talk about it......" Zuo Qi already had a hint of crying.

"You can rest assured, the county official is a benevolent monarch, and he will not embarrass you, maybe he will give you a way out."

"General ......" Zuo Qi was already in tears, but Huo Xian and Huo Yu were still expressionless.

"Stand down."

"No!"

Zuo Qi left, and the door was gently closed.

In the past few days, although the door of this bedroom could be closed, there were four halberders in the room staring at Huo Guang at all times, and these halberders had only withdrawn today.

Now, the nearest sword halberd is also at the gate of this middle mansion, which can be regarded as giving Huo Guang some dignity.

"Let's eat." Huo Guang, the head of the family, spoke, Huo Xian and Huo Yu did not comply, and immediately moved their chopsticks.
