Because I was recuperating from illness, Huo Qubing rarely returned home in order to spend more time with me, and stayed here almost every day.
Both of us carefully avoided some things, tried our best to give each other a little more happiness, and hid all the unhappiness.
It seemed that the only thing he had to worry about was how I recovered from my illness, and we had forgotten the cause of the illness, at least.
They all pretended to have forgotten.
After lying quietly on the couch for more than half a month, I can finally move around freely when the New Year arrives.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I felt that my whole face was round.
I lifted my face from my chin up with my hands, and it turned out that it was indeed plump.
“I can’t wear the dress I originally made for the New Year.”
Xin Yan covered her mouth and snickered, "How can it be possible that General Huo is not fat and feeds himself all day long?"
I glared at her and scratched my neck horizontally.
You and Hong Gu said secretly, "I don't care, but if you dare to say that word in front of me, I will kill you without mercy."
"This is not what the slave said, it was what Honggu said.
General Huo doesn't look like a general now, but like a pig farmer.
He keeps saying all day long, what did Yu'er eat today and how much she ate, and she should stew some supplements."
Xin Yan Sticking out her tongue, speaking in a humorous tone, she ran out of the house with a smile, and bumped into Huo Qubing who was about to enter.
Her expression changed immediately, and she immediately knelt on the ground in shock, kowtowing frequently.
I stood up and wanted to deal with her, but when I saw this, I couldn't help but applaud and laugh, "Evil people will be punished by evil people, and they deserve it."
Huo Qubing glanced at Xinyan lightly, ignored her, and only smiled at me: "Guess who I brought to see you?"
I turned my head and thought for a moment, my heart was filled with ecstasy, "Sun" Huo Qubing nodded lightly, turned around and raised the curtain, "Dear guests, please come in.
Some people saw me but didn't react at all.
When I heard it was you, my eyes almost lit up."
I glared at Huo Qubing and told Xinyan, who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up: "Let the kitchen cook some delicious food.
Well, ask Honggu if she has any wine from the Western Regions and bring some too."
Ri wore a white fox cloak and walked in slowly.
My heart was racing, but I couldn't find a word to say.
I just looked at him and smiled stupidly.
Scenes of childhood events passed before my eyes, including the passionate and impulsive Yu Shan, the charming and unruly Mu Daduo, and the young and mature man. of him.
Riyaya looked at me silently for a while, then Fang smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy that you're still alive."
I smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy to see you again."
Of all the words I could say, there were only three words on my lips: "I'm very happy."
Huo Qubing was leaning on the couch, "Are you two just going to stand and talk like this?"
Ri smiled and took off his cloak, casually placing it next to Huo Qubing's sable cloak, and also sat on the couch.
After I helped Xin Yan arrange the food and wine, Huo Qubing dragged me to sit beside him, with one hand half on my waist.
Because Ri Zai, I was a little embarrassed, so I shook my body and shook his hand away.
He shook his head and smiled, and said to Huo Qubing: "This is the first time I saw her blush.
It seems that General Huo is not only good at fighting, he actually subdued such a unruly girl."
Huo Qubing was surprisingly surprised.
He lowered his head and picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
I casually took a big tea cup and put it in front of Ri, filled it with wine, "If you speak ill of me as soon as we meet, I will punish you by drinking this big cup of wine."
Ri didn't hesitate, picked up the wine, drank it down in one gulp, stared at me and said "I'm sorry."
I was startled for a moment and shook my head, "Needless to say, you couldn't have done anything about what happened back then."
Ri smiled, but his smile was a little bleak, and he filled himself up with wine again, "Did you know that Mu Dado has married Yi Zhixie."
I was playing with an empty wine glass in my hand, "I've seen them before, and I accidentally shot Muda Duo with an arrow."
Ri was startled, and then showed a look of relief, "No wonder it is so rumored that she was injured while chasing General Huo.
I didn't expect that it was you who injured her.

Yi Zhixie because of you."
Ri glanced at Huo Qubing, "And Yu Shan, he has been very kind to me and Mudado these years, especially She was extremely protective of Mudado.
Mudado didn't understand before and just followed Yi Zhixie wholeheartedly.
After understanding this, I saw that she felt very painful.
But after the injury this time, Yi Zhixie felt a little bit different towards her than before.
It’s different, it turns out you have already met.”
Since Mudado is not dead, we no longer owe each other any more, and the childhood friendship has been wiped out.
From now on, we have no relationship at all, and I don’t care about their affairs.
I interrupted Ri and said, "Yizhixie Why do you want to kill your father and King Hunxie?"
Rimo was stunned for a while, "Now that you have met him, have you ever felt that he is different from before?"
"He is a little less tolerant than before.
He used to be very ruthless in his actions, but now he is more sinister and suspicious.
At that time, a personal guard around him told lies.
None of us suspected it, but he was slightly aware of it, which shows that he never really trusted the people around him and would never forgive him. " Ri nodded, "He supported his troops and established himself as queen.
One of the most important changes in his character is that he no longer trusts people.
He is always worried that there will be a second person like him among his men.
He has been suspicious for a long time, even We ourselves began to feel that it was only a matter of time before we betrayed him.
"Things."
Ri Chang sighed, "For a minister, the most painful thing is to follow a jealous emperor.
In fact, we all admire him, but because of his suspicion, all the princes.
They all live in fear and act in fear.”
Huo Qubing smiled and said: "Suspicion and suspicion are common problems of an emperor.
It's just that the so-called wise emperor can control the suspicion within a reasonable range and use imperial skills to balance and contain the forces of all parties, but some people will lose control.
I think Although Yizhixie is a bit over the top, he is still okay.
There is an old saying among the Han people that if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly.
The reason why Yizhixie suffers is because of the bad name and the words are not going well. awkward relationship, they themselves They must also bear part of the responsibility.
If Yu Shan succeeded to the throne, they would all have to obey.
If Yi Zhixie succeeded to the throne in this way, they must have had a wait-and-see attitude towards Yi Zhixie in their hearts. , that's right, who asked you to snatch the position?
If Yi Zhixie made a mistake, he would inevitably think about what happened to the late king, and what would happen if the prince succeeded to the throne.
A shrewd person like Yi Zhixie would definitely be able to detect these thoughts, so you let him.
How can he not be angry?”
"I didn't expect that the person who defended Shan Yu was not our Huns, but the general.
If Shan Yu heard these words, he would definitely have a drink for having an opponent like the general.
Although close friends are hard to find, they are evenly matched and resentful.
It's even rarer to meet Xiangxi's enemy."
Rida took a sip of wine, half excited and half sad, "Wen Dongfang Shuo, Sima Xiangru, Sima Qian and others, Wu Youwei.
With the army, General Huo, and the emperor with far-sighted vision and great talent, there will surely be a great Han dynasty that will conquer the world and become famous far and wide."
Ri raised a toast to Huo Qubing, "You are this great man.
"One of the founders of the dynasty, and you and I" Rixiao clinked my tea cup, "we are honored to be witnesses and witness with our own eyes this history that will surely be written in great detail."
A thousand cups of wine is too little when you meet a close friend.
Although Huo Qubing and Ri had good drinking capacity, they were both a little tipsy.
When I was about to leave, I took his white fox cloak and handed it to him.
When I was about to go out, even though I said I wasn't cold, Huo Qubing still wrapped his sable cloak around me.
Ri's steps were a little unsteady, he swayed, and he patted Huo Qubing's shoulder, "I'll leave Yu Jin to you.
She has suffered a lot, so you have to treat her well."

Huo Qubing also walked sloppily and laughed so hard that his mouth split.
She reached her ear and said, "No problem, don't worry, I will treat her well."
I hummed, "Have you two noticed me and talked to yourself?"
But the two of them ignored me completely, holding hands and talking to each other, looking like two good brothers.
As soon as they arrived at the door, several horses hurried past the door.
At a glance, they saw a wolf brand on the horse's buttocks.
They felt that it looked familiar, but for a moment, they couldn't remember where they had seen it.
Ri let out a sigh, "How come you can see the Canglang Seal in Chang'an?"
I couldn't help but asked curiously: "You have seen me before and you think I look familiar."
The Japanese tongue was a little big and he said clearly: "This is a mysterious gang in the Western Regions.
It has a history of seventy or eighty years.
There are rumors that it is actually the incarnation of the most powerful group of sand bandits in the history of the Western Regions.
There are also rumors that No, because someone has personally seen someone with the Cang Lang Seal kill someone who is chasing Han.
There are different opinions on the sand pirates who were merchants in the Western Regions, and the merchants who saved the Xiongnu from the Western Regions.
Few people can tell clearly about its origins, but wherever the Cang Lang Seal passes, it will be felt by the rich and powerful, as well as ordinary people and people in the Western Regions.
Avoidance shows their power in the Western Region."
I said "Ah" and suddenly remembered where I had seen this mark.
I had seen this mark when I invited Li Cheng to eat chicken in Longxi City that day.
The waiter also said that they were looking for a young girl.
But at that time, I just looked at it twice because I thought it looked familiar.
I should have seen it before.
The cold wind made the smell of alcohol rise.
Ri stumbled onto the carriage, and Huo Qubing's body became more and more swaying.
I couldn't care less about my random thoughts and supported Huo Qubing first.
As I watched the carriage leave, I turned to one side and saw Li Guangli riding on a horse looking away from me.
Huo Qubing was holding my waist and resting his head on my shoulder, feeling drunk.
I sighed helplessly, supported Huo Qubing and turned around to go back.
I just hoped that Li Guangli would not tell Li Yan about this scene, otherwise with Li Yan's meticulous mind, who knows what would happen.
After walking for a while in the garden, I suddenly felt a shock in my heart.
Cang Lang Yin, Sand Bandit Jiuye said that his grandfather was once the leader of Sand Bandits.
Several images quickly passed through my mind, and I finally remembered where I first saw this mark.
When we first met by the Crescent Moon Spring, Shi Jinyan pointed at this mark and scolded me.
No wonder I always paid close attention to this mark subconsciously.
Was that the young girl they were looking for at the Longxi Hotel?
Was it me?
Master Jiu was already looking for me at that time.
If he could have found me at that time, what would have happened?
We were so close, so close.
They were just looking at each other in one window, outside the other window, but in the end they passed each other.
"Yu'er, I'm so thirsty," Huo Qubing murmured.
I immediately regained my focus and helped him speed up his pace.
"We'll be here soon.
What do you want to drink?
Make a cup of new tea, or use some fruits that are frozen in the cellar to make juice." ――― After many thoughts, I finally did not go to Shifu to pay my grandfather a New Year greeting.
I only sent someone to deliver gifts to Shifu.

Huo Qubing has many elders, so he went out early in the morning to pay New Year greetings.
I was sitting alone and bored, thinking that Huo Qubing accidentally saw Honggu embroidering a sachet a few days ago, and he teased me casually, saying that we were privately engaged for life, and asked me to embroider a sachet for him as a token.
I haven't spent any time on these things, but I'm also idle, so I'll give it a try.
Thinking about his smile when he saw the sachet unexpectedly, my heart also burst with joy.
I found all kinds of silk threads and asked Hong Gu for patterns.
Hong Gu rummaged for a long time before giving me a pattern.
It was a pair of honeysuckles dancing side by side, one gold and one white.
The lines were simple, but charming. .
Aunt Hong saw me staring at the flowers in a daze, and said with a smile: "I want to find something else for you, but it's not easy to embroider.
This one has a simple color scheme, a simple look, and it looks good.
It's suitable for you, who has no embroidery skills.
I'm not very good at embroidery."
It took a lot of effort to pick this one.
If you are not satisfied, I have nothing better to do, so I can only ask someone to paint it for you another day. " I shook my head and said, "No, that's it."
I stretched the bamboo circle and threaded the needle and thread.
After Gu Gu taught me for a while, she saw that I had basically mastered it and left me to embroider slowly by myself while I went to do the rest. things.
Sit by the window, lower your head to embroider for a while, then raise your head to rest for a while.
The fragrance of plum blossoms outside the courtyard blows in with the wind, and it smells very good.
Occasionally, there were a few faint sounds of firecrackers.
At first, I was always startled, but when my mind slowly subsided, I couldn't hear it much.
"It's really strange to see Xiaoyu holding needle and thread."
Amaterasu's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
I immediately looked up.
The moment I saw Master Jiu, the needle in my hand somehow penetrated into my finger, and my heart immediately twitched. .
I smiled slightly and calmly pulled out the needle, "Happy New Year to Master Jiu and Third Brother Shi."
Master Jiu stared at the embroidered stretcher in my hand without saying a word.
Amaterasu looked at Master Jiu and then at me, "Aren't you going to invite us in and sit down for a while?
Are you going to talk to us like this through the window?"
Only then did I realize what I was doing.
I quickly put down the things in my hands and said with a smile, "Come in quickly."
Amaterasu sat at the table and without waiting for my greeting, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea.
But Master Jiu pushed the wheelchair to the couch and picked up my embroidered quilt.
I tried to grab it, but it was too late.
When he saw the pattern, he suddenly raised his head and stared at me, "Did you embroider it for yourself?"
I remained silent and did not answer.
The color on his face gradually faded, and there were all kinds of emotions in his eyes.
He looked down at the gold flowers that had just been embroidered a little, and a sad smile appeared on his lips.
He suddenly saw a trace of blood red on the corner of the silk, and was stunned for a moment.
He touched the blood stain with his finger, and his face slowly recovered a little.
He raised his head and stared at me with bright eyes, "Is your finger still bleeding?
Let me take a look."
"As I said that, I was pushing the wheelchair over.
I took a few steps back and hid my hands behind my back.
"There are only a few drops of blood, it's not a big deal."
He smiled and put the embroidery bag back on the couch, "I just want a sachet.

It's rare that you are willing to take the needle and thread and help me embroider one when you have time."
I pretended not to hear what he said, "Would you like some tea?"
Master Jiu said: "No, let's come see you, sit down for a while and then leave.
In addition, I will send a message to Xiaofeng's grandfather.
Thank you for the gift, so that you can have time to visit him."
I said "hmm" softly, and Master Jiu smiled and said, seemingly truthfully: "If you don't want to go to Shi Mansion because of me, I can avoid it in advance."
After sending Jiuye and Amaterasu away, he no longer had the energy to embroider, lying on the window sill, his mind went blank.
There was some dust on the corner of the window.
I couldn't help but reach out and wipe it, and the dust was wiped away immediately.
I sighed and thought, if my heart could be like this, I would keep whomever I decided to keep and completely erase the other.
I could try my best to restrain my behavior, but my heart was not controlled by myself at all. control.
When it likes someone, it will not ask for your consent; nor will it tell you when it will forget it.
Amaterasu hurriedly walked into the yard, I looked behind him in surprise, and he said: "Master Jiu didn't come, and he didn't know I was coming."
I slowly stood up and said, "If you want to persuade me, don't say anything."
Amaterasu said: "I don't want to advise you.
We all saw how you treated Jiu Ye back then.
No matter what you choose today, we will not complain.
We can only say that Jiu Ye is not lucky.
I am here, just I want to tell you something you should know.
Did you know that Master Jiu started looking for you the day you left Chang'an City?"
I felt sad and disappointed at the same time, "I didn't know it before, but I found out two days ago.
I have seen the Canglang Seal.
Did Master Jiu send them to find me?"
Amaterasu nodded, "At that time, not only Cang Lang Seal was looking for you, but also the killer organizations in the Western Region, the sand bandits in the desert, and even the royal families of Loulan, Guizi and other countries were helping to find you, but you were completely missing."
I smiled bitterly.
You would never have thought that I would be captured and sent to the military camp of the Han Dynasty to serve as a soldier.
I did not go to the Western Regions at all.
Instead, I followed the army to visit the Huns.
No matter how many people you have in the Western Regions, How could anyone find someone who was not in the Western Region?
The letter left to Huo Qubing misled Master Jiu.
Tianzhao said: "We have found out your whereabouts after leaving Chang'an City.
But when we found the Liangzhou Inn, the clues were immediately cut off.
We asked everywhere but there was no news.
For this reason, Master Jiu went to the Huo Mansion to ask for an audience with Huo.
Government management Family, Master Jiu has never begged anyone.
Even when Shifang's situation was so miserable, Master Jiu never begged the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was still considered his uncle.
But the person he begged for the first time was actually Huo Mansion. of a housekeeper.
I asked Steward Chen if General Huo has been looking for you.
I beg Steward Chen, if General Huo finds you, be sure to tell him your whereabouts.
Or if you don’t want him to know, please be sure to tell you that he is willing to accompany you to enjoy the flowers, no matter what.
How long will he wait for you to come back?"
Amaterasu snorted coldly, "You can guess how the housekeeper of the Huo Mansion responded to Master Jiu.
I don't want to repeat the humiliation of that day.
It is enough to suffer such humiliation three times in my life. " That day at the Longxi military camp, I finally understood the words I heard through the curtain.
I also understood why the soldier's voice suddenly became so quiet that I couldn't hear it.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Huo Qubing must have signaled him to silence.
"Later, after General Huo returned to Chang'an, Master Jiu went to see General Huo again.
General Huo was very polite to Master Jiu, but when he asked about your whereabouts, General Huo only said that he didn't know.
Master Jiu is the clear breeze of the moon.
Ordinary people act with dignity, and even in the current situation, they don't want to backbite others.
He just feels that he owes you, and all this is because God was not right to him back then.
You were honest and didn't cherish your punishment, but I don't care so much.
I just want you to know the whole thing and be fair to you and Master Jiu.
General Huo is a strange man, and he is an iron man on the battlefield.
General, you are a gentle man after leaving the battlefield, a true hero with a strong heart and a soft heart.
No matter who you choose in the end, I will be truly happy for you."
After Amaterasu finished speaking, she immediately turned around and left, leaving me standing in the wind.
It was long after dinner time and it was already dark.
Huo Qubing came back with a tired look on his face.
When he saw Xin Yan removing the dishes, he asked in surprise: "Why are you just finishing your meal now?"
I remained silent and didn't speak, but Xinyan leaned down and bowed respectfully, and said quickly: "I didn't eat at all.
How did the slave bring it up?"
I said calmly: "Xinyan, go down after packing your things."
Xinyan glanced at me and pursed his lips, but his hands moved much faster.
After a while, he cleaned up and exited the room.
Huo Qubing smiled and leaned next to me, "What's the matter?
Do you think I'm coming back late?"
Although he smiled, there was melancholy between his eyebrows.
I asked: "Have your elders lectured you?"
He said: "You don't have to worry about these things, I will take care of them.
You haven't told me why you don't eat well."
Seeing the melancholy look on his face and a hint of distress, I swallowed the words that had been lingering on my lips and shook my head, "It's nothing.
I ate some fried fruits in the afternoon and didn't move much.
I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat." " He stood up, took off his cloak, and changed his clothes.
"Let's eat when you're hungry."
Suddenly he glanced at the sewing basket in the cabinet and asked in surprise, "What are you doing with this?"
He took the embroidered stretcher and looked at it carefully for a while.
There was a smile between her brows and eyes, "Did you embroider it for me?
Why did your hand get pricked?"
He walked up to me in a few steps, lifted up my sleeves and looked at my hands.
I pulled the sleeves back hard and turned my head away, "I didn't embroider it for you, I embroidered it for myself."
He stayed for a moment, sat next to me, and forced my head to face him, "What's wrong, Yu'er, if you have something to do, you can argue with me, you can scold me directly, but don't do it in such a vague way.
If you are angry, shouldn’t husband and wife be honest with each other?”
"Who is your wife?"
He spoke quickly.
After he finished speaking, he saw the pain flashing in his eyes, and his heart also hurt, and he immediately said: "I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry."
He smiled bitterly, "I should be the one who's sorry.
I can't marry you, but I keep you without any reason."
I said: "I care about my status, but I don't care about it.
I'm not sad about this.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I just want to ask you, are you really honest with me?"
He raised his eyebrows and smiled confidently, "Of course."
I stared at him without saying a word.
His brows slowly wrinkled.
After thinking for a while, his face suddenly turned cold.
"Have you gone to see Meng Jiu?"
He snorted coldly, "If you are referring to Liangzhou I don’t think I did anything wrong about the inn.
Since he doesn’t like you, why bother provoking you all the time?
You gave him opportunities again and again, and he had to wait until you left to think of something.”
I didn't expect that he didn't feel any guilt at all.
All the feelings he had for him disappeared, and all his anger came out, "Huo Qubing, for your own selfish reasons, you bully and humiliate people, and hide information.
So despicable” The veins on his forehead were beating faintly, and his eyes were full of pain.
He looked at me for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter, "You did it for him, you?"
He shook his head and smiled, "What am I in your eyes?
I am someone."
Selfishness, my only selfishness is that I don’t want him to hurt you again.
I just want you to forget the unpleasantness of the past and stop entangled with the past.
My selfishness is to make you happy. " He turned around suddenly and strode outside, his figure quickly disappearing into the dark night.
In an instant, the candlelight in the room seemed to dim.
It was obviously his fault, but why did it all become my fault?
I picked up the embroidery quilt and threw it on the ground.
Just as I was about to step on the mandarin duck flower that I had just begun to embroider, I hesitated again.
My body went limp and I sat down.
On the couch, my heart felt as bitter as coptis.
Tangled with vines, who among us is bound to whom:
