For Li Cai's chancellor position vacated after committing suicide in fear of guilt, all forces tried their best, and a series of dazzling sponsorships started one after another. During the whole incident, Huo Qubing maintained his usual indifferent attitude of ignoring the personnel changes in the court, and he only cared about training, playing, hunting, and playing Cuju.It’s just that the prince Liu Ju appeared frequently in the Cuju field, and Huo Qubing took Liu Ju out to play and hunt. The two cousins ​​ignored the court rules and went into the deep mountains without any entourage. back.

Because she suddenly lost track of the prince for three days, the always gentle Empress Wei was furious, and the prince Liu Ju knelt down in front of the palace to plead guilty.He didn't intercede for himself, but took all the responsibility on himself, and wanted to excuse Qu Bing. Empress Wei said angrily, "Both of you brothers will be punished!" On the contrary, Liu Che shook his head and said with a wry smile, "That's all, that's all! Qu Bing It’s not like you don’t know about your bold and reckless temper. He dared to lead 800 people to the hinterland of the Xiongnu for the first time in a war, and it’s not bad for him to visit the Xiongnu without taking evidence.”

Huo Qubing didn't follow the rules and acted according to his will. To him, it was really not rare. What was rare was the close relationship between him and Liu Shi. When autumn came, Liu Che decided that the position of prime minister should be taken over by Prince Shaofu Zhuang Qingdi.After Li Guang committed suicide, the struggle against the Wei family in the court came to an end temporarily with Wei's victory. The prince and I have basically never talked. My impression of him is only in the rumors and whispers in the court. I know that he is not like Liu Che in character, but more like Wei Qing and Wei Zifu. Although he is a prince, he has always treated others. Courteous and sympathetic to the sufferings of the people, he is deeply loved by the people who suffered from war disasters and the literati who advocate benevolent government.

This time the prince's performance surprised me.Huo Qubing's intentions, he must have understood in his heart, he did not refuse beforehand, followed Huo Qubing to leave Chang'an without permission, according to his character of following the rules in the past, everyone knew that it must be Huo Qubing's reckless behavior, but he kept saying that he only pleaded for Huo Qubing, full of words It was all his own fault, making Huo Qubing, who was indifferent after the incident, still silent and indifferent, more and more wrong, yet he was praised by others. "Qubing, the prince is young, but his mind is very deep."

Qu Bing smiled indifferently: "In his position, it's not a bad thing to be deep-minded. Don't blame him too much. If he doesn't have much thought, we should really worry." Having said that, Qu Bing still had a few traces of disappointment and sadness in his eyes.My heart is also full of distress and discomfort. You try your best to help them, but they still can't fully trust you.On the one hand, they want you to contribute to them, but on the other hand, they all want to suppress and attack your power and reputation in the imperial court. I wanted to divert his displeasure, stuck out my tongue at him, pouted and said: "Since you are willing to be taken advantage of, I won't be troublesome! But..." I moved to his side and took his hand Arm: "You also want to take me out hunting. I heard that His Majesty plans to take civil and military officials to Ganquan Palace to hunt. You take..."

He immediately said: "No!" I shook his arm, begging.As he walked, he said without looking at me, "I'm going to the barracks, I'll talk about it when I get back." I didn't pay attention to his plan to delay the attack, and still rubbed against him, shaking non-stop, he coaxed: "Yu'er, when I have time later, I will take you to the mountains to have fun for a few days, why go with them? It's hunting, but it's actually all about official affairs, and you can't have fun." I snorted and said, "Are you free? Where are you free these days? Either you are busy with so-called business, or you are busy with so-called idle things, such as archery, Cuju and hunting, and you seem to be playing, but which one does not have an ulterior motive? Tired It's exhausting, I don't have much time to see you, how can I expect you to take me out to play? Take me! Take me..."

Along the way, the maidservants and servants on the road all lowered their heads to avoid us when they saw our intimacy. Huo Qubing sighed, "You're getting thicker and thicker now!" I kept staring at him, not paying attention to my surroundings. When he reminded me, I was a little embarrassed, but I was not to be outdone: "It's not thanks to General Huo! Anyway, they have seen more intimate movements before. What are you afraid of? Take me there! Take me there..." He began to chant the mantra again. He finally couldn't help but look sideways at me. His eyes were firm at first, but when he saw my expression, he sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Okay! Don't look wronged and sad, I'll take you there."

I smiled like a flower in an instant, but he was still smiling wryly, seeing me smiling, he also smiled happily, stretched out his hand and gently pinched my cheek: "No wonder Meng Jiu is obedient to you and can't refuse you... " I don't know if my smile has always been like a flower, but the smile on his face stagnates, he understands that he slipped, he shouldn't make fun of the matter between me and Master Jiu, and immediately swallows all the words he didn't say. He smiled nonchalantly: "Just send it here!" I saw that I had reached the gate of the mansion, so I nodded.

After watching his figure disappear, his face finally collapsed.I owe a lot to Master Jiu. The only return he wants is that I can't give him in this life. All I can do is live as he asked, try my best to live happily, live happily, and then he will be a little relieved.only…… I looked up at the blue sky. Is there really a god living above the white clouds?Then I beg you, sincerely beg you, please let Master Jiu forget me, as long as he can be happy, I am willing to bear the sweetness and pain of the past alone, I am willing to be completely forgotten by him! Until I got on the carriage from Chang'an City to Ganquan Palace, Huo Qubing still didn't understand me insisting on hunting with him.

He knows that I don't like to be with a bunch of royal relatives, but this time the hunting happened to be gathered by the royal relatives.The prince Liu Shi, the three princes, General Wei, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, Li Gan, Li Guangli, Zhao Ponu... a bunch of old and new dignitaries and court officials.Since everyone from the emperor and princes to the generals and princes are present, it is natural that heavy guards are unavoidable. It looks like a hunt, but in reality it is very likely to become a feast of changing circumstances, partisan rivalries, and not knowing who to hunt and who to hunt.I don't want to wait anxiously in Chang'an City alone, I just want to be by his side, maybe I can't help much, but at least no matter what happens, we are together.

When Liu Che saw me, he nodded at Huo Qubing, shook his head and smiled.Huo Qubing also laughed when he saw Li Yan behind Liu Che: "This time, I have agreed with His Majesty again." Liu Che said with a smile: "It's good to coincide with each other. You stand in front, so that those guys won't be admonishing me, making me look like a foolish king who is obsessed with beauty and will ruin the country. I don't know that ruthlessness is not necessarily a real hero. When you are arrogant, you can swallow mountains and rivers." , the tenderness is lingering and lingering, and the life is a real hero who lives happily and happily." Huo Qubing praised "Yes", and casually took the wine bag hanging by the side of the horse to respect Liu Che, and then took a big sip, Liu Che also picked up the wine bag, laughed and took a sip. At this time, the two of them are more like heroes of the rivers and lakes who cherish each other, rather than the emperor and his courtiers. It's no wonder that Liu Che prefers Huo Qubing. The two of them have many similarities in their bones. Both are full of pride, both are bold and self-willed, and both have a little disregard for etiquette. These make Liu Che appreciate Huo Qubing; They are not similar, one is passionate about power and the other is indifferent to power, which makes Liu Che rely on Huo Qubing even more. Li Yan's spirit was not good, she was leaning on the carriage, looking quite lazy.She must have had a very bad time during this period, and her body was inherently weak, with internal and external troubles, and it was inevitable that she would continue to suffer from minor illnesses.It seems that Liu Che deliberately took her out of the palace to cultivate her body and mind. Liu Che's favor towards Li Yan was indeed the most favored in the harem, and he would rather be inconvenient if he went out for hunting and play, and he would only bring Li Yan who would fall down when the wind blows. Ganquan Palace got its name because it is located on Ganquan Mountain.The forests in the mountains are lush, the strange rocks are jagged, the flying springs are flowing, and the scenery is so beautiful. Qu Bing has been with the emperor and General Wei since he was a child, and he is very familiar with everything in the mountains. On the way into the mountains, he and I talked softly, pointing to every scenic spot and explaining the ins and outs. Later, he simply led me to slip away from the group, and the two of them also gave up and climbed up the mountain path hand in hand. I don't know when other people will arrive at the Ganquan Palace. Qu Bing and I played together and only entered the Ganquan Palace when it was dark. The two of them still refused to take the main road, and chose to walk along secluded paths.Among the undulating rocky paths, two figures could be seen faintly.Both Qu Bing and I have better eyesight than ordinary people, even though we can only see the moonlight, we have already half-read and half-guessed each other. Although I was surprised at the moment I saw it, my reaction was still calm, but Qu Bing was obviously very shocked, he immediately stopped in his tracks and stared in disbelief. It is impossible to know if this is a real chance encounter or a manufactured "coincidence". Li Gan bowed his knees and bowed his head to salute Li Yan. tip. Li Yan probably didn't expect Li Gan to do such an unexpected move, her face was surprised, her body trembled slightly, and there were tears in her eyes suddenly. Li Yan, who was always clever and quick-witted, turned into a stone at this time, she didn't move her hand, she just stared blankly at Li Gan, Li Gan raised his head to look at Li Yan, when their eyes met, he seemed to wake up instantly, and let go immediately. He raised his hand and hurriedly took a few steps back. Although it was only a short moment, so short that I doubted my eyesight, although it was only the fingertips of three fingers, I am afraid that Li Gan did not even feel the warmth of Li Yan's hands, but the outburst of forbearance and the utmost restraint during the outburst were even more so. Shocking. Maybe Li Yan originally wanted to remind Li Gan, but now she just didn't say a word, and hurriedly escaped from Li Gan's side. Her speed was too fast, and before Huo Qubing and I could find a place to hide, she had already see. She immediately stopped at the spot and looked at us with a pale face. Li Gan also found us, subconsciously took a few strides, and dodged in front of Li Yan, as if we were scourges that were about to hurt Li Yan, but he immediately After realizing it, the current situation is more terrifying than meeting a scourge, and it is not something he can stop. There was a cold light in Li Gan's eyes, and his hands were clenched into fists.The shock in Huo Qubing's eyes dissipated, he pulled me to his side, protected me, and said with a sneer, "Is Sange Li planning to kill someone to silence me?" Li Yan chuckled a few times, and walked out from behind Li Gan. In just a short while, her face was normal: "Of course, our life and death are not in the eyes of the Hussar General, but whether your precious Yu'er can escape is not certain." Neither Li Gan nor Huo Qubing understood the meaning of her words, so I snorted, "I don't know why your reactions are so weird. Just as Qubing and I came over, we saw the empress rushing over. Before we saluted, Li The adults rushed over again." Li Yan smiled and said: "I have been walking for a long time, I am already tired, so I will go back first." After she finished speaking, she left slowly. I looked at her back and said, "I didn't plan to use this to make a fuss, otherwise I wouldn't wait until today. It's not because of fear, but because of pity." Li Yan disappeared into the night without changing her footsteps, but her back, which was originally straight, was bent for a moment, as if she was overwhelmed. Li Gan looked at Huo Qubing and me coldly, turned and left without saying a word. The corners of Huo Qubing's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at me with a half-smile. I raised my hand, made a gesture of surrender, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'll start from the beginning immediately." I said it was from the beginning, but I only told him that Li Gan picked up a handkerchief unintentionally, and I burned the handkerchief. Unexpectedly, Li Gan still recognized Mrs. Li with the handkerchief, and why Li Gan wanted to shoot him that day my business. After the story was told, we had already returned to our residence. Before and after the incident, he didn't ask me a word about the loopholes in my attitude towards Mrs. Li. He reclined on the couch with a blank expression on his face, silently watching me remove my makeup.I opened my mouth several times, wanting to switch to other matters, but he didn't answer, and I fell silent too, the strange silence in the room made me breathless. I looked at him from the mirror, feeling more and more uncomfortable, bit my lip, and just about to speak, he got up suddenly, walked behind me, sat down cross-legged, took a comb and combed my hair for me. "Qubing, I..." "There is no need to explain. There is nothing wrong with what you did for Meng Jiu that day. Your character is just like this, and that's what I like about you. I can only say fortunately that I am more blessed than Meng Jiu. I will be the one who will have these things in the future." "He said softly, pulling me into his arms. Just as he was deeply moved by his words, when he saw the smile on the corner of his mouth and the constriction in his eyes in the mirror, he suddenly reacted, broke away from him, turned around and hit him angrily: "You did it on purpose! You deliberately pretended to be angry and pretended to be angry. Mind you, you're trying to scare me! You cheapskate!" He laughed out loud, and took a few moves with me in a relaxed manner, holding my hand with one hand and wrapping around my waist with the other, and the two of them rolled down on the carpet: "You made me suffer a lot back then, It's not too much for me to scare you now." His loud laughter and my coquettish voice filled the room. For two consecutive days, I stuck behind Huo Qubing like a little tail. Anyway, I was no worse than these men in riding and hunting. If I really had to, I would be the one who caught the most prey.But now is not the time for me to show my hunting talent, I just try to make other men not feel that I am a burden by Huo Qubing's side. However, I have a very bad habit, I always forget to use the bow and arrow.When he sees the prey, the instinctive attack method he chooses is to pounce from close quarters. Qu Bing almost bends over laughing because of this, and reminds me every time: "Yu'er, you have a bow and arrow behind you that you can borrow, don't always act like a mermaid." Pounced forward like a wolf with its teeth and claws open." Seeing me stare sideways at him, he hurriedly added with a smile: "You are very cute when you open your teeth and claws, in fact, I really like to see it." snort!Seeing his crooked smile, believe him?There are ghosts! Across the hill, I heard a call from a distance: "A large herd of deer!" I immediately applauded and shouted: "Venison!" Huo Qubing rushed forward, and sighed with a smile: "Hey, let's get straight to the point, look at the husband's means, I'll let you eat your fill tonight." It was really a large herd of deer, densely packed, maybe thousands of them, galloping in the valley, the sharp horns on their heads gleaming coldly in the sun. I looked at this herd of wild deer in confusion. The herd does not have the habit of large-scale migration. How could there be so many wild deer here? Turning his head, he found Gongsun Ao standing beside Huo Qubing. He didn't know what he had said to Huo Qubing. Qubing's face was blue and he was very angry.I walked towards them, Gongsun Ao nodded to me with a smile, said hello, pointed at the deer group and said to Huo Qubing: "The general wants to hide this matter, but he doesn't want to cause trouble, even I didn't overhear it yesterday The general’s valet chatted to find out. The general knows it in his heart, just be careful, and it’s better to have fun now.” I asked, "What's the matter?" Huo Qubing raised his bow and pointed at the deer in the valley: "Li Gan hit uncle." Accompanied by the voice, the feathered arrow flew out quickly, and from such a distance, Huo Qubing's arrow hit the deer's neck. "Ah? He..." I didn't know what to say to Li Gan, he was so impulsive and reckless, he dared to hit Wei Qing. Wei Qing holds a very special position in Qu Bing's heart.Qu Bing had no father since he was a child, and Wei Qing had not yet had a child of his own at that time. Wei Qing carried Qu Bing on his horse for the first time, and Wei Qing taught him how to draw his bow for the first time. Qu Bing heard The first story of Qu Bing is the story of his uncle's campaign against the Huns. Qu Bing's life dream was also established in his childhood admiration for his uncle.Although it seems that Qubing and Wei Qing are working independently in the army, Wei Qing's position in his heart is irreplaceable.Li Gan's treatment of Wei Qing like this is more troublesome than beating and scolding Qu Bing. "Don't you want to eat venison? If you don't hurry up, all the deer will run away." Huo Qubing took the lead and leaped down the valley, and Gongsun Ao accompanied him to rush towards the herd of deer. I saw that he was trying his best to restrain his anger and didn't want to talk about this matter, so he let go of this matter and ran to the valley behind him and Gongsun Ao. The guards who are familiar with the valley called to each other to point out the master’s path and which direction has been occupied. The guard Liu Dashan who was following me accidentally twisted on the stone. Although the injury was not serious, his running speed slowed down significantly. , he asked me to go first, I took into account that although the deer was not close to here, it would be very dangerous if the wild deer ran over, so I dared not leave him: "It doesn't matter, let's go slowly, it won't affect the deer hunting "I looked up to find Huo Qubing's figure, and wanted him to wait for me, but he and Gongsun Ao had disappeared among the rocks and bushes before I knew it. Before people approached the valley, they suddenly heard exclamations from the bottom, mixed with the sound of deer's hooves, which were indistinguishable.I felt uneasy, I only thought about Huo Qubing, and ignored others, so I hurriedly said to the guard beside me: "You stay here, don't come down, I'll take a step first." Before the words were finished, the person left in a hurry.While flying past among the rocks, I suddenly saw a woman dressed exactly like me passing through the woods. I was very surprised in my heart, but I couldn't think about it for a while, and just hurried forward. The valley becomes narrower as it gets closer to here, the cliffs on both sides are as steep as cutting, and the sound of galloping deer is like thunder, resounding through the deep valley.Huo Qubing was standing alone among the deer, not far from his feet, Li Gan had an arrow in his chest, lying behind some dead deer, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Huo Qubing shot three arrows in one hand, the arrows were fast and accurate, and the deer that approached him were killed in front of him one after another, but the deer behind him were still in an endless stream, they just rushed forward desperately, the antlers on their heads were as sharp as blades, It is possible to insert into Huo Qubing's body.He kicked up the dead deer that was close to his feet and placed it on both sides of him and Li Gan as a temporary barrier. The guards outside the valley yelled wildly, Zhao Puonu and the others wanted to rush into the herd of deer several times, but were forced back by the herd of deer, so they could only shoot arrows outside. Liu Che appeared under the protection of the guards. Seeing Huo Qubing's condition, he yelled angrily at the guards, "Aren't you going to save people?" The guard hurriedly replied: "There are too many deer, all of which are wild. The terrain here is extremely unfavorable. There are cliffs on both sides, and there is only a narrow road in the middle. It is difficult for us to rush in. I am afraid that we will have to mobilize the army." Liu Che woke up immediately, took off the jade pendant casually, and handed it to Gongsun He: "Pass my order, call the army guarding Ganquan Palace to rescue people." Li Yan, who was guarded by many guards, stared at Huo Qubing and Li Gan among the deer, her face was pale and her body was crumbling. Liu Che clenched his fists and walked back and forth on the ground, anxiously waiting for the troops to arrive, and asked angrily, "What's going on? What happened to Li Gan?" All the guards looked at each other, and a bold and respectful reply: "I don't know what happened. At that time, General Hussars and Marquis of Guan Nei were not accompanied by guards." Contrary to our anxious expressions, Mrs. Wei who was standing behind everyone looked at Huo Qubing with a faint smile in his eyes. Wei Qing's disciples all betrayed him one after another, and the only one left behind, Ren An, was naturally highly valued by everyone in the Wei family, and now he is the crown prince Shaofu.He stood alone in the corner, staring at the distance with a gloomy face, exchanging glances with Mrs. Wei from time to time. Wei Qing, who was hunting in the distance, just arrived at this time. When he saw the scene in the field and heard the guard's reply, his face, which had always been as calm as a mountain, changed suddenly. His eyes swept across the faces of Gongsun Ao, Ren An, and Wei. Ren Andu uneasily avoided his sight and lowered his head, but Mrs. Wei looked back at his father indignantly. I stood on the top of the tree and watched everything condescendingly. Qubing has fewer and fewer arrows in his quiver. If there are no more arrows, how will Qubing face thousands of angry deer hooves and sharp antlers?His body trembled uncontrollably, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest in panic and fear. Be calm, be calm!Jinyu, if you are going to be sick, you must be calm.After saying it several times, I jumped off the tree and ran towards Zhao Puonu. There were only the last three feathered arrows on Qu Bing's body. Everyone looked at him with bated breath. He glanced at Li Gan who was on the ground. While firing three arrows, he quickly jumped towards Li Gan and grabbed Li Gan's body. The moment he put his quiver in his hand, he turned it over again neatly and fell back to the original place, nodding the arrow and pulling the bow, three more arrows, three deer fell in the blink of an eye, but a deer had already rushed to him, the distance was too close, and the arrow Hard to shoot. The deer's sharp horns pierced his waist, and the deer in the distance was charging again.With three arrows between the four fingers of his right hand, he raised his right foot to bow.Pulling out the knife with his left hand, the blade accurately landed on the necks of the deer in front of him, and at the same time, three arrows flew out quickly, piercing the necks of the three deer. In the blink of an eye, Huo Qubing's series of actions went up and down.The moment of life and death, but still showing unrestrained, heroic and extraordinary, everyone including Liu Che and Wei Qing couldn't help shouting "OK". A few generals under Huo Qubing's banner even brandished knives, as if in the army, rhythmically shouting "General Hussars! Generals Hussars..." I dragged Zhao Puonu aside: "Master Zhao, please go after Gongsun He immediately, and try to come back with him after he passes the imperial decree. You don't need to do anything, just look at him with your eyes Every move." I didn't have time to be polite and explain, I just said the request succinctly. Zhao Puonu's expression froze for a moment, then changed, and then he landed and said loudly: "The final general will definitely do it!" He used the tone of receiving a military order in the army, and invisibly used his life to guarantee the fulfillment of my request. I am grateful to the place Nodding his head, he immediately turned and left. I snatched the quiver from several guards, tied all of them to my body, and climbed up from a lonely place. When I felt that the height and angle were all right, I hung myself on a pine tree protruding from the cliff, closed my eyes for a moment, A long wolf howl issued from his throat. Accompanied by wolf chants, I let go of my hand, and my body fell rapidly towards the valley like a shooting star.When the deer herd heard the howling of the wolves, they were thrown into chaos, and tried their best to avoid where I was.There were too many deer, and the terrain in the valley was very narrow. They collided with each other. Although they slowed down, there was no place to escape. I threw out the golden bead silk belt, hooked it on the tree to slow down the fall, and then let it go immediately. After repeating three times, it was close to the ground.Let go for the last time, and while falling, it is almost impossible to find a foothold among the antlers. Everyone stared at me with bated breath. At this moment, I was in mid-air, with nowhere to exert myself, and there were galloping deer under my feet. I was falling faster and faster. It seemed that the only result waiting for me was death. Jin Zhu went ahead of me, hitting the deer's head three times, and the three fallen dead deer slightly blocked the rushing deer for me. Protecting the whole body, at the same time slowing down some deer with wolf howl. Huo Qubing yelled: "Jinyu!" It was not a cry of joy when he saw me, but a scolding sound of fury and shock. I smiled at him, and as the deer approached him with difficulty, I shouted: "Take care of yourself, if I find that you are injured because of distraction now, I will definitely not say a word to you for a year." The distance between the two, in the past, was only a few ups and downs based on our mutual skills, but today it is extremely difficult to walk. Every step is to survive among hundreds of galloping deer hooves and sharp antlers. When the barrier made of deer carcasses fell on his side, both he and I had tears in our eyes. No matter what happens next moment, no matter whether we can survive today, at least we are together. The instant I arrived, he had fired his last arrow.I immediately threw the quiver on my back to him. Huo Qubing took the quiver and drew the arrow. A series of movements were as fast as lightning.Looking at the deer that fell suddenly, my calmness just now disappeared suddenly, and my heart was beating anxiously. Fortunately, I arrived in time. If it was later, I didn't dare to think about what would happen. My archery skills are not as good as his, so I didn't waste my arrows, and put all the quiver I brought at his feet.After dragging the dead deer to build a "fortress", I hurried to check whether he was injured. While nodding his arrow, he cursed softly: "You stupid woman!" Li Gan, who was lying motionless on the ground, coughed twice, and said intermittently, "It's your...blessing to be so...stupid...." I saw that although Huo Qubing had a lot of blood on his body, but I was not injured, I turned to look at Li Gan. The arrow hit very deeply. Because I was wearing black clothes, I couldn't see it from a distance. Only then did I realize that most of his body was soaked in blood. . I poured all the Jinchuang medicine onto his wound, and he pulled the corners of his lips, and smiled with difficulty: "This is Huo Qubing's arrow technique, don't need to make a lot of effort, although he didn't want to kill him with one arrow, he didn't show mercy either." .He might have survived if he had been rescued earlier, but now...he can't." I urgently wanted to stop his bleeding: "You must live on, Li Yan is outside, she looks like she is about to faint, if you really die, she is afraid that she will really get seriously ill again." The expression on Li Gan's face fluctuated, and the sorrow, pain and joy of this life all flowed in an instant. "Qubing, you...why?" At this moment, I can't say he is confused, but he is really confused in this matter, he wants Li to die, it's nothing, but he shouldn't use such a stupid method.Li Gan was a majestic prince of the Han Dynasty, and his family had served the Han Dynasty for generations. If he shot and killed Li Gan in this way, it was also a capital offense according to the laws of the Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing stared at the herd of deer in front of him without saying a word, "whoosh" a few times, and several deer fell to the ground in response. Li Gan said in a low voice: "You don't have to be angry, we were all set up by someone. I have been feeling unhappy these few days, so I ordered my servants to go away, and I went hunting alone, and when I arrived here, a woman suddenly appeared, it was inexplicable The ground fought with me, and the moves were so fierce that I had no choice but to kill, seeing your outfit today, I understand..." He coughed, and the words were interrupted. While I was sympathizing with him, I said: "I understand. I vaguely saw a woman dressed exactly like me just now. The chaos of the deer running is already disturbing, the blood is surging, and the killing intent is sprouting, not to mention Qu Bing had been aroused by Gongsun Ao in advance, he only saw a figure in the distance, and you wanted to kill me before, when we ran into you and Li Yan that night, you wanted to kill again, so In a fit of rage, Qu Bing shot you." Li Gan laughed, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth: "Gongsun Ao told you that I beat General Wei?" Huo Qubing did not answer him in silence, Li Gan said to himself: "When I heard that my father committed suicide that day, I was overwhelmed with grief, so I went to General Wei to ask why he refused to let my father lead the troops to meet the enemy head-on. It’s not the first time I lost my way, so why did I commit suicide this time? His attendant refused to let him see him, and he was talking dirty, all of which were insulting words to his father. When I shot, General Wei just came out. He wanted to stop me, so I pushed him away angrily, but was immediately pulled away by the guards. General Wei asked me why I beat someone, what can I say? Repeat the words that insulted my father? What's more, when I was in a hurry, I felt that I was a bunch of villains and scum, so I didn't want to say more, but I didn't expect the villain to complain first, and the words of those two servants turned into me taking the initiative to cause trouble." I snorted and said coldly: "This happened half a year ago. Gongsun Ao didn't say it sooner or later, but he just said it today." Li Gan coughed violently, with blood gushing out of his mouth, he grabbed my hand: "Miss Jinyu, please...please..." A life was disappearing in front of my eyes, and seeing the reluctance and pain in his eyes, I suddenly felt that all the grievances and grievances in the past were nothing to worry about, so I hesitated and said: "I can't have no bottom line, but I must promise you to try my best to endure Li Yan, I will also persuade Qu Bing not to hurt her life." Li Gan gasped a few times, his eyes were full of gratitude, although his face was terribly pale, but his expression was very calm.Seeing his calmness, my original hesitation dissipated, and I didn't regret making this promise at all. He closed his eyes, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the index finger of his right hand moved slowly, his hand was trembling, but still struggling to finish one thing, after shaking for a while, his hand finally stopped, motionless.The smile on the lips was frozen in the deep red blood, revealing an indescribable desolation and sadness. I gently raised his hand, and a vine was drawn with blood, soaked on the sleeve edge. Although I didn't finish writing it, but because I was too familiar with this, I understood that it was the word "Li" entwined with vines. I'm not a sentimental person, but when I saw the word "Li", I remembered the scene when I first met him, drinking in a big bowl, eating a large piece of meat, and being so proud. After a second thought, he carefully cut off the sleeve and hid it in his bosom. In the distance, Zhao Puonu, Fu Lu Zhi, and Yi Jiqian led heavily armed soldiers to separate the deer herd. The number of deer rushing towards us dropped sharply, and our arrows happened to be exhausted. Cut off the deer that comes charging. "He's dead." I walked up to Huo Qubing's side and swung the golden beads to kill a few deer that were about to rush over from the side. "There is no evidence for what Li Gan said, but there are still many clues to be found. The deer herd is very problematic. Although I don't know what method they used to get these deer to gather here, but give me some time, I can definitely find out." Huo Qubing reached out to shake my hand, and looked at Zhao Ponu and the others who were getting closer: "I want you to forget everything Li Gan said just now." His hands were cold and mine became cold too. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I bit my lips to force the tears back: "Okay!" Zhao Puonu ran to us, knelt down to Huo Qubing on one knee, but turned his face towards me: "The last general is lucky to live up to his fate!" When Zhao Ponu saw Li Gan in the pool of blood, his expression changed instantly. Fu Luzhi and Yi Jiqian had rough and bold personalities, and asked without hesitation, "Is the Marquis of Guannei dead?" Huo Qubing lightly ordered: "Take Li Gan's body with you." After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and went ahead. Zhao Puonu kowtowed to me: "If the general is quicker, maybe the Marquis of Guannei can live." I shook my head and silently followed Huo Qubing far away. The moment Liu Che saw Huo Qubing, he was overjoyed at first, but immediately restrained himself. Fu Luzhi put Li Gan's body on the ground, Li Yan passed out without saying a word, and the accompanying palace physician immediately escorted her back to Ganquan Palace. Liu Che's eyes swept over Li Gan's body, stared coldly at Huo Qubing, and waved his hands.The guards and low-ranking people who were standing around quickly retreated.A guard wanted to ask me to leave, I looked at him quietly without moving, Wei Qing, who has always been silent, suddenly said: "Let her stay!" The guard hesitated and left quickly.After a while, only Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao, Gongsun He and other high-ranking people remained in the field. Liu Che said coldly: "Give me a reason. Shooting and killing important court officials is a capital offense!" Huo Qubing took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Liu Che, but he didn't say a word. Liu Che's complexion gradually turned blue, and Gongsun Ao hurriedly knelt down and cried, "I'm guilty of death! Guan Nei Hou beat General Wei that day. General Wei thought that Guan Nei Hou had misbehaved because of his father's new death and was heartbroken, so he didn't do anything wrong." Pursue it, Kechen slipped his tongue today and told General Hussar everything about it." Liu Che was so angry that he kicked Gongsun Ao: "Don't you know anything about Qu Bing's temper?" Gongsun Ao rolled on the ground, then immediately turned over and knelt down, ignoring the injuries on his body, he just kowtowed, and the frequency channel in his mouth: "I'm guilty of death, guilty of death..." After a while, Gongsun Ao's face was covered with blood.Wei Qing had complicated emotions in his eyes, but finally he couldn't bear to gain the upper hand.He was really grateful for Gongsun Ao's life-saving grace to him back then.Wei Qing knelt in front of Liu Che, kowtowed and said, "One is my nephew and the other is my subordinate. I should also be responsible for Li Gan's death. I beg Your Majesty to punish me as well." Liu Che ignored Wei Qing, and only pointed at Huo Qubing angrily and scolded: "Seeing that you lead troops and act much more calmly than when you were young, you thought you had a wife and son and knew that you would restrain yourself, but today you do this kind of thing again, be honest with me!" Tell me, what else did Li Gan do?" Huo Qubing's body was straight and his back was tense, but his heart was frozen in ice. He used his superficial toughness to hide the pain in his heart. The Wei family, which he regarded as his relatives since childhood, still attacked him. Liu Che must have also felt that something was suspicious, and he found excuses and reasons for him in words, hoping to shift the responsibility to Li Gan, but how could Huo Qubing pour sewage on a dead person who would not defend himself to defend himself? absolve?It is even more impossible for him to tell the truth and put Wei Qing in trouble.Liu Che has been looking for an opportunity to suppress Wei Qing, but Wei Qing has never made a mistake in his actions. Once this incident happened, even if Wei Qing was completely unaware, Liu Che would not give up this good opportunity to blame Gongsun Ao's mistake on Wei Qing, let alone Wei Qing's love Even with his temperament, he will never abandon Gongsun Ao. Liu Che waited for Huo Qubing for a while, but Huo Qubing still didn't say a word.Liu Che said angrily, "Do you think I won't kill you?" He suddenly pointed at me and said, "Jin Yu, come here!" I stepped forward and knelt quietly beside Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing's body, which had been motionless, trembled slightly, but he still looked down at the ground without saying a word. Liu Che said: "I saw Jinyu's behavior today. Although I don't like Jinyu, I have to praise it. This woman can afford everything you have done for her. Are you going to make her a widow?" Liu Che said coldly and slowly. Slowly asked: "Or let Jinyu die with you?" 霍去病垂放在身子两侧的手紧紧握成拳,青筋直跳,手指过处,地上的碎石被无意拢入掌中,他的指缝间鲜红的血丝丝缕缕渗出。 我去握霍去病的手,用力把他握成拳的手指掰开,把他掌中的石砾扫去,擦干净左手后,自顾道:“另一只手。”他愣了下,把另一只手递给我,我把碎石轻轻扫干净后,拿帕子把血拭去,淡淡道:“好了。”说完握住他的手,他虽没有推开我,却仿若木头,没有半点儿反应。我固执地握着不放,眼睛痴痴地盯着他。好一会儿后,他终于侧头看向我,我向他一笑,他的眼中光华流转,歉疚温暖都在其间,原本的伤痛冰冷退去几分,缓缓反握住了我的手。 我们两人旁若无人,众人也都表情呆住。刘彻忽地连连冷笑起来:“金玉,朕若问你是否想死,恐怕是多此一举了。” 我恭敬地磕了个头,心中对刘彻满是感激,不管他是因为惜才,还是感觉到事情有疑点,但他一直在给霍去病机会,甚至想用我的生命做威胁去撬开霍去病的嘴。 “陛下,民女随骠骑将军一起。” 刘彻沉默地在原地走来走去,一面是大汉律法和后世千载的名声,一面是霍去病的性命,就是一贯被人称赞为睿智的大汉朝皇帝也头疼万分。良久后,他面色带着疲惫,问道:“听闻今日还有侍卫不小心被鹿撞死?” 一旁的侍卫首领立即回道:“是,共有八个侍卫被鹿撞死,张景、刘大山……” 刘大山?我从公孙敖、任安面上扫过,漫不经心地想,他们做得倒也还算周密。 刘彻听完后,点了下头,抬头望着天,近乎自言自语地说:“李敢身陷鹿群,不慎被鹿撞倒后身亡,厚葬! ” 众人愣愣,赵破奴他们率先跪下:“陛下万岁!”在场的大部分人也纷纷反应过来,跟着高呼“陛下万岁”,也有愤怒不满、恨盯着霍去病的人,但在刘彻冷厉的视线下,都低下了头,随着他人跪下。 自霍去病要我忘记李敢所说的话起,我一直很平静地等着一个宣判,此时却心情激荡,第一次真心实意地给刘彻磕头,真心实意地呼道:“陛下万岁!” 刘彻望了一眼弯身磕头的霍去病,眼中仍满是怒意,甩袖就走:“哼!万岁?真希望朕万岁,就给朕少惹点儿事情出来。”
