Huo Qubing turned his head to look, and there was a white fairy floating in the mist outside the window. He was the father who taught him to march and guide him on the road of military horse six years ago.

He did not have much affection for this biological father. On the contrary, he still had some incense towards his nominal father Huo Zhongru. Once he passed by Pingyang County, visited Huo Zhongru, and brought Huo Zhongru's son Huo Guang back to Chang'an for training. This feeling may come from Because of the lack of love for the father, perhaps the resentment towards the mother and the biological father, no one knows the pride of the genius young man.

Liu Yanzhi was not surprised by Huo Qubing's self-caught death by Hengjian, and he did not stop it. Instead, he jumped into the room and sat down cross-legged in a big look. He also took off a pair of hiking shoes that did not match the times and put it aside. The Han Dynasty did not have it. The concept of the chair and stool, the interior is covered with mats made of reeds, and you must take off your shoes when you enter the door.

"Put down the thing in your hand, my father and I have a drink and chat."

In this world, there are only two people who can talk to Huo Qubing in this tone, one is the current emperor Liu Che, and the other is the one in front of him.

Huo Qubing slumped down his long sword, sat directly opposite Liu Yan, and said after a long while: "Why did you come today?"

"I will only show up when you need me." Liu Yan said in a mysterious way, "If I didn't show up just now, you are already lying on the ground. You are killing people like numbness. You must know the effect of cutting the carotid artery. The blood will look like The whole room is spilled like a fountain, you will slowly lose strength, your body will become cold, your consciousness will be blurred, and then you will die."

Huo Qubing didn't speak, his eyes were still sluggish, and he hadn't had the domineering and perseverance of fighting and killing for many years, but he looked like a deeply depressed patient who jumped off the building if he didn't agree with him.

Liu Yanzhi secretly sighed: "Why, I came from afar, are you going to buy me a drink?"

It took a full minute before Huo Qubing got up slowly and knocked on the bronze bell under the corridor. This is a tool for calling the servants. Da Sima needs to be quiet. The servants live far away, and there are still people on duty at dawn. Hearing the sound of rapid footsteps after the bell, three attendants wearing tall hats came downstairs and knelt down to listen to orders.

"Prepare wine." Huo Qubing said two words concisely.

The attendants ran across the courtyard to the kitchen to order wine and food. Huo Qubing died in September. It was mid-autumn season. The back garden of Da Sima Mansion was a bit bleak, and the fog gradually dispersed, revealing the towering Weiyang Palace in the distance.

Huo Qubing was still silent and had no desire to talk. Liu Yanzhi had no choice but to say to himself: "Let me guess the reason why you don't want to live. First of all, you feel bored, and the Huns can't help but beat them. At the age of fourteen, I became a wolf and swept across Monan Mobei. Victory is no longer attractive to you, and it can’t stimulate your nerves. Your threshold for getting fast has increased too much, too fast, and the reality can’t keep up. Up."

Having said that, Huo Qubing raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yanzhi, showing a little approval.

"But your biggest enemy is not the Huns, but the closest people around you. With their power, you can't even fight against you as the champion of General Sima Hussar. You live a hard life, and you are proud of yourself. I like the feeling of holding the moon in the stars. You like to be admired by the people, appreciated by the emperor, and loved by the soldiers, but you have obtained all these things, but you have lost them all."

Huo Qubing sat up straight, his eyes gradually becoming more energetic, no one dared to say these words to him, only the fairy in front of him.

"You went to the army at the age of seventeen, and you were out of control. With great military exploits, you went straight to Wei Qing, your mother’s brother, your uncle Wei Qing. It’s undeniable that Wei Qing is very good at war, but you are more good at war and younger than him. It is the blessing of the Han Dynasty to have such two generals who are accustomed to fighting, but not the blessing of the emperor."

Ordinary people may not understand this, but people who are acquainted with power struggles will understand immediately that they are the masters of power, let alone the two generals in charge of almost all the army of the Han Dynasty. The current emperor Liu Che has lived in In the vortex of the power struggle, he understood the truth too well. Wei Qing was a member of Huo Qubing who belonged to the Wei family, and his queen Wei Zifu gave birth to a son. His relatives were involved in politics. The future troubles were endless, and the strength of the Wei family expanded too. It was so violent that it threatened the imperial power, so the existence of Huo Qubing is the blessing of the country, but not the blessing of the royal family.

Liu Yan said directly: "So the emperor deliberately supports you vigorously, using your young personality to compete with Wei Qing everywhere, supporting you to become another force in order to compete with the Wei clan."

Huo Qubing finally spoke, and he smiled sadly: "What the Wei family is just a group of slaves in the Pingyang Princess Mansion."

This is true. All the members of the Wei family are servants of Princess Pingyang. Huo Qubing’s mother, Wei Shaoer, is a maid, and Wei Qing is a rider. Today’s queen Wei Zifu is a dancer deliberately cultivated by the princess to please the emperor. Unexpectedly, the investment made a huge return. Wei Zifu actually became a queen. Wei Zifu’s son is likely to become a prince, and the people of the Wei family are also very upbeat. Wei Qingjun led the troops to expedition to Monan, Lien Chan. Lian Jie, now there is another more capable Huo Qubing. The Wei family is no longer a servant. The strength of the Wei family has actually surpassed that of Princess Pingyang.

Liu Yan said straightforwardly: "The Wei family is just a title. In the final analysis, it is an interest group. Princess Pingyang is also an important figure in this group. They are all prosperous and all damaged. In two years, they will wait for the death of this squad. The princess will marry your uncle Wei Qing. If you die now, you won't be able to eat their wedding wine."

"The princess marries the former riding slave?" Huo Qubing sneered in disbelief, but his smile became stiffer, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter could definitely be done with the temper of Princess Pingyang.

"The emperor wants to use you to divide and balance Wei's power. Unfortunately, he misunderstood you. You are a military commander and are not good at political struggles, but you can't help it. The generals under Wei Qing are in your account because it is easier to fight with you. Fenghou, the emperor also spoils you more, and gradually you have the possibility of replacing Wei Qing, so the Wei family regards you as an enemy, although they are actually your relatives, you feel this kind of hostility, the first thing you think of is doing your best To please them, so you risked your death to speak to the emperor, requesting that the princes be banished so that the son of Wei Zifu can successfully inherit the rule. This incident made the emperor very disappointed, and he no longer trusts you."

Huo Qubing was like sitting on pins and needles, just as the attendants came upstairs to bring food and drinks. The time was rushed. The kitchen only prepared cold dishes. The raw fish stew on the gold plate was very skillful. The raw fish was cut into thin filaments, which looked like white fans. Transparent, with tempeh, rice vinegar, clear sauce, coriander, garlic, and shallots, the blend is extremely delicious. The wine is a low-alcohol rice wine, filled with copper jue, sweet and refreshing.

During the Han Dynasty, a food-sharing system was practiced. Everyone had a small table in front of them, each eating their own food, without interfering with each other. The attendants waited on the side, helping to pour wine or something. Huo Qubing waved back and continued the topic.

Liu Yan straightened a chopsticks fish shreds to taste, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Go on." Huo Qubing said. He didn't move his chopsticks and had no appetite.

"Wei's interest group actually started on you a long time ago, but you don't know it. Do you remember the killing of Li Gan?"

Huo Qubing's face became gloomy. Of course he remembered it. Li Gan was Li Guang’s son. He complained about Wei Qing because of Li Guang’s suicide, so that he killed Wei Qing. He didn’t know about it until he was hunting in Ganquan Palace. Someone secretly told himself that Huo Qubing's young hero did not rub the sand in his eyes, and his temper was extremely grumpy. He had a very good feeling for his uncle Wei Qing. He immediately became murderous and shot Li Gan in front of everyone without hesitation. Li Gan was a Marquis of Guan Nei, the commander of a doctor, and the rank of officials was very high. The Li family was also a big family. How could he kill or kill? Although this matter was later suppressed by the emperor, it had a fatal blow to Huo Qubing's reputation.

"Others only know your glamorous appearance, but don't know your inner suffering. You are a general, but you don't have the will of the army. You are all the Huns surrendering generals who only recognize gold and silver but not people. You are Da Sima, but you are in the court. There are no allies, only enemies. They will not give you advice, they will only dig traps for you. You are the son of the Wei family, but treated as an enemy by them. You have been a child without a father since you were a child. Your mother remarried and did not take care of you enough. , You lack family affection, so that you regard the Huo family as relatives. You once won the emperor’s trust, but you were jealous of him. You are only twenty-four years old, so you should not endure these distress."

Liu Yan said straightforwardly, drank his glass, and looked at the sword: "So you plan to commit suicide. Your death will satisfy everyone."

Huo Qubing didn't say anything, which was a tacit understanding.

"Die, after you die, Liu Che will send the nation's Xuanjia soldiers to your funeral and repair your tomb as majestic as Qilian Mountain. You will stay in the annals of history and become the most combative general in history, but are you willing?"

"What can you do?" Huo Qubing smiled desperately~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If I take you to a place, it’s not peaceful there. The Huns occupy the Central Plains, beacon smoke is everywhere, and the heroes compete, no one knows you as Huo Qubing, no The emperor, there is no Weijia, everything must be done from the beginning, every step from the young **** to the general must be taken by yourself, are you willing? "

"I am willing!" Huo Qubing stood up with excitement, kicking the table over.

"Okay, you go with me." Liu Yan straightened up and took Huo Qubing's arm, kicked the sword with his toes and held it in his hand, flew out of the window, and rose slowly. The waiters downstairs who were carrying roast lamb were surprised. Lifting his head, he witnessed Da Sima being taken by the fairy soaring in the day.

In September of the sixth year of Yuanshou, the news of Huo Qubing’s death came out, and the whole court was relieved. As Liu Yanzhi said, Huo Qubing’s death would satisfy everyone. No one will pursue his death, including his mother Wei. Children, full-length An Du was happily buying the funeral of General Hussein.

At this time, Huo Qubing had not left the Han Dynasty. He and his father watched his funeral in the air. The emperor dispatched the Xuanjia army from the five counties to Maoling. The grand scale and the great momentum made him sigh the distortion of human nature. They If you really don't give up, why bother yourself to death.
