Chapter Twenty-Three: Huo Jun is late
At this time, the inner courtyard of the palace is already three watches, and the night is like water, and it is cool and cool. If you look down from the faint moonlight, the white marble carved behemoth seems to be writhing and about to take off, and the two stone lions at the gate of the palace are silent.
But actually standing in the palace is a different scene. The palace of the third watch should be except for some internal soldiers on duty to patrol Luo, and there is no movement in the palace, and at this time, the cold palace is very lively around.
The so-called "cold palace" is a vacant courtyard behind the corner of the palace. Because the concubines who fell out of favor and made mistakes in the past generations were all sent down and placed here for life, they were regarded as cold palaces by the palace and were very avoided.
When Huo Jun came to the palace, he never thought that Xiao Xuan would appear in such a deserted place. It was a ruined palace-like house, not very large, scattered with more than a dozen rooms, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time, the weeds overgrown on the palace tiles, and even the gate was covered with thick dust and devastation.
As soon as Huo Jun stretched out his hand and touched it, the copper nails on the door fluttered down a layer of rusty ash, almost blinding people's eyes. The gilt and painted buildings inside were all peeled off, accumulating thick dust and messy cobwebs......
That day, since Xiao Xuan left Chai's Villa, Huo Jun almost didn't let the half-meter-deep lake drownβit was the result of panic. Fortunately, Ren Daoan rescued him to the shore.
When Huo Jun figured it out, he calmed down. He always wondered why Xiao Xuan would transfer himself away and follow Lord Tang. The conclusion he came to later was obvious, that is, Xiao Xuan was all for his own good.
If Xiao Xuan didn't follow the Tang Lord, the two of them wouldn't even be able to go out of Jiangnan, this is a delaying strategy in the thirty-six plans, although Huo Jun doesn't know much about the art of war, but the Huo family boxing passed down by his ancestors is passed on by Huo Qu's illness.
Huo Qubing is a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, he has been fighting against the Xiongnu for many years, in the war, not only relying on the strength of martial arts, but also relying on the mind and the art of war. Huo Qubing not only created the 'Huo Family Fist', but also created the 'Huo Qubing Art of War'.
It's just that this Huo family's Lost Trace Fist is better in the martial arts, and no one in the martial arts cares about any books on the art of war. As for Wang Xin's "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu", just because it was passed down by Guiguzi, it is not only the art of war, but also the arrangement of troops, especially the formation, which is admired by many generals and divisions.
As a descendant of Huo Quai, Huo Jun also liked the art of war more or less, and this may have something to do with heredity, right? He not only had "The Art of War" of Huo Quai, but also learned some other art of war, and "The Art of War" was simply familiar to some military generals at that time.
Since Huo Jun's original intention was to serve the country, he also read some of these books deeply, if he hadn't met Cai Rong to get in the way, he must have become a martial champion a long time ago.
However, this also has certain benefits, he relied on some knowledge of the art of war he learned to lead the fifty villages in Hedong. There is a main reason why he won with martial arts, but he can defend for so many years, and it is not enough to rely on force alone without wisdom.
Huo Jun figured out all this, and felt that Xiao Xuan was doing the right thing, and he thought that it would be better to secretly take Xiao Xuan away at night, and with his light skill 'Land Flight Method', it would not be a problem to carry her out of Jiangnan overnight.
Anyway, I couldn't leave Wangjia Villa, so I simply slept beautifully. Recharge your batteries and plan to save people the next night. That night, Huo Jun ate very happily.
Chai Xinyi stayed in the stone house according to Wang Xin, and the rest of the people were made another meal by the domestic servants, and Chai Zongqing also prepared some vegetarian dishes for Ren Daoan.
The next day, Chai Zongqing and Duan Siyan left Chai Villa with a few heartfelt servants and followed Ren Tangrui back to Yun, Nan, Zhao, and Tong counties. Ren Tangrui told his father what his uncle Ren Daoan had promised.
Ren Tangrui's father, Ren Zhiping, readily agreed. gave the entire Zhao and Tong counties to Chai Zongqing, and Chai Zongqing became the king of Yun and Nan in this place far away from the emperor of the mountain.
Chai's Villa has really become Wangjia Villa, Chai Xinyi rightfully stayed in Wangjia Villa, as for all the firewood, rice, oil and salt in Wangjia Villa now, it is naturally his brother Chai Zongqing sent someone to the island, no way, just this one sister, no matter what, not to mention, in general, he did not suffer a loss, but because of this matter, he was blessed by misfortune.
Before Huo Jun came back, Ren Daoan temporarily stayed in Wangjia Villa to take care of Wang Xin. Ren Daoan chatted with Huo Jun for a night that night, so that Huo Jun fell asleep when he listened to it.
Ren Daoan said: "Xixia Snow Mountain, the old decay has been there, but there is white and vast, bare, the old decay has not walked a few steps there, it is difficult to walk an inch, can only return according to the original footprints, the loss of the old decay is not a few steps, if you walk for a long time, the wind and snow cover the footprints, then the old decay will be trapped there." β
Huo Jun had eaten a lot of wine and food, but at this time, his greatest wish was to sleep beautifully. But Huo Jun knew that the reason why Ren Daoan was looking for him was not because he was bored and chatting about some family things, what he said must be for his own good.
Huo Jun said: "Lao Tzu seems to have rarely scolded since he came here, you have something to say, you fart, why bother with Lao Tzu to fart in circles?
Ren Daoan said: "The golden beetle in the Great Snow Mountain of Western Xia is not so easy to deal with, as far as I know, this is a very evil thing, it can't hurt it with ordinary weapons at all, but it is more than the life of the nine-life cat, even if it is cut into several pieces, it can be rerounded." β
Huo Jun said: "As you said, that thing is so difficult to deal with, what is the name of Chu Chanjuan who lives in the Great Snow Mountain, how did she refine that golden beetle into a 'sad and crisp breeze'?"
Ren Daoan shook his head and said, "The medical book only talks about the uniqueness of this golden beetle, but it doesn't talk about how to subdue it. As for that Chu Chanjuan, of course she has a unique technique, otherwise wouldn't everyone be able to do 'sad and crisp breeze'?"
Huo Jun was stunned when he heard this, and he said: "In other words, Lao Tzu really didn't say anything wrong just now? You were really beating around the bush just now! However, Lao Tzu is not in the mood now, Lao Tzu wants to sleep." β
Ren Daoan said: "Huo Daxia, don't hurt people, what the old man told you means to be careful everywhere and be more careful, and that Chu Chanjuan is even more evil and weird." β
Huo Jun propped his elbows on the table, he put his hands on his cheeks, his eyes were open, he didn't even have the strength to scold, and when he heard Ren Daoan's words, he said lazily: "This is what I saw in the medical book again?"
