Chapter 20: Death Counting


In order to obtain the prime minister position left by Li Cai after he committed suicide in fear of committing a crime, all forces tried their best, and a series of dazzling sponsorship recommendations began one after another.

Throughout the entire incident, Huo Qubing maintained his usual indifferent attitude of ignoring the personnel changes in the court, and focused on training, playing, hunting, and playing Cuju.

However, the figure of Prince Liu Ju appeared frequently in the Cuju field.

Huo Qubing also took Liu Ju out for hunting.

The two cousins ​​ignored the court rules and went into the mountains privately without any entourage.

They stayed there for three days, loaded with prey and exhausted.

Back.

Because the prince had suddenly been missing for three days, Queen Wei, who had always been gentle, was furious.

Prince Liu Ju knelt down in front of the palace to apologize.

Instead of interceding for himself, he took all the responsibility on himself and tried to excuse Qu Bing.

Queen Wei said angrily: "Both of you brothers will be punished."

Instead, Liu Che shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Forget it, forget Qu Bing's daring behavior."

It’s not like you don’t know his temper.

In the first battle, he dared to lead eight hundred people to the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

It’s a good thing that he didn’t take the soldiers to visit the Western Regions. " Huo Qubing did not follow the rules and acted as he pleased.

To him, it was indeed not strange.

What was strange was his close relationship with Liu Zhi.

When autumn arrived, Liu Che decided that the position of prime minister would be taken over by the crown prince Shaofu Zhuang Qingzhai.

After Li Guang committed suicide, the struggle against the Wei family in the court came to an end with a great victory for the Wei family.

The prince and I have barely spoken, and my impression of him remains in the rumors and whispers in the court.

I know that his personality is not similar to that of Liu Che, but more similar to that of Wei Qing and Wei Zifu.

Although he is the prince, he has always treated people well.

He was courteous and considerate of the sufferings of the people.

He was deeply loved by the people who suffered from Liu Che's military brutality and the literati who advocated benevolent government.

This time the prince's performance surprised me.

He must have understood Huo Qubing's intention.

He did not refuse beforehand and followed Huo Qubing to leave Chang'an privately.

Based on his past law-abiding character, everyone knew that it must be Huo Qubing's willful behavior, but he kept defending and begging for Huo Qubing.

It was all his own fault, which made Huo Qubing, who was indifferent and remained silent and cold after the accident, even more at fault, yet he made everyone who heard him praise him.

"Qu Bing, the prince is not very young, but his thoughts are very deep."

Qu Bing smiled calmly, "It's not a bad thing for him to be thoughtful in his position.

Don't blame him too much.

If he doesn't have much thought, we should really be worried."

Having said that, there was still a hint of disappointment and sadness in Qu Bing's eyes.

My heart is also full of heartache and discomfort.

You try your best to help them, but they still can't completely believe you.

On the one hand, they want you to contribute to them, but on the other hand, they all want to suppress and damage your power and reputation in the court.

I wanted to distract him from his displeasure, stuck out my tongue at him, and said with a pout, "Since you are willing to take advantage of me, I won't do anything troublesome.

But" I leaned next to him and took his arm, " You also want to take me out hunting.

I heard that the emperor plans to take civil and military officials to Ganquan Palace for hunting.

You can take me with you."

He immediately said: "No" I shook his arm, looking pleading.

As he walked, he said without looking at me: "I'm going to the military camp.

We'll talk about it when I get back."

I ignored his attempt to delay the attack, and still stayed close to him, shaking him.

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?"

Hunting is actually a matter of officialdom, and you can’t have all the fun.”

I hummed and said: "Where do you get the time these days?

Either you are busy with the so-called business or the so-called leisure things, such as archery, Cuju and hunting.

You look like you are playing, but there is no ulterior motive for any of them, which is tiring and exhausting. , I don’t even have much time to see you, so I can still expect you to take me out specially to play, take me there, take me there, take me there.”

Along the way, the girls and servants on the road saw our affectionate gestures and all lowered their heads to avoid it.

Huo Qubing sighed: "You are getting thicker and thicker now."

I kept staring at him without paying attention to my surroundings.

When he reminded me, I felt a little embarrassed, but I refused to be outdone and said, "It's not because of General Huo.

Anyway, they have seen more intimate actions before.

I'm still afraid."

Why don't you take me there?

Take me there."

He started chanting the mantra again.

He finally couldn't help but turn his head and look at me.

His eyes were firm at first.

When he saw my expression, he sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Okay, stop looking aggrieved and sad.

I'll take you there."

I suddenly smiled like a flower, but he was still smiling bitterly.

Seeing me smile, he actually smiled happily, stretched out his hand and pinched my cheek lightly, "No wonder Meng Jiu is so obedient to you and can't refuse you."

I don’t know if my smile has always been as bright as a flower, but the smile on his face was stagnant.

He knew that he was careless and he shouldn’t joke about the matter between Master Jiu and me, so he immediately swallowed up all the unspoken words.

He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Just send it here."

I saw that I had arrived at the door of the house, so I nodded.

After watching his figure disappear, his face finally fell.

I owe Lord Jiu a lot, and the only reward he wants is that I can't give him in this life.

All I can do is to live as he asks, try my best to live happily, and then he will be a little relieved.

But what kind of relief is that?

I looked up at the blue sky.

Is there really a god living on top of the white clouds?

Then I beg you to make Master Jiu forget me and give him true joy and happiness

.

――――――――――――――――――

Until we got on the carriage leaving Chang'an City and going to Ganquan Palace, Huo Qubing still didn't understand why I insisted on going hunting with him.

He knows that I don't like to stay with a bunch of royal relatives, but this hunting happened to be full of royal relatives.

Prince Liu Ju, the three princes, General Wei, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, Li Gan, Li Guangli, Zhao Ponu and a bunch of new and old dignitaries and important officials of the court.

Since everyone from the emperor and prince to the general and marquis were here, it was natural that he would be heavily guarded.

It may look like a hunt, but in reality it is likely to become a feast of changes, partisan disputes, and who knows who is being hunted and who is being hunted.

I don't want to stay alone in Chang'an City waiting anxiously and worriedly.

I just want to be by his side.

Maybe I can't be of much help, but at least no matter what happens, we are together.

When Liu Che saw me, he tapped his hand and Huo Qubing shook his head and smiled.

Huo Qubing also laughed when he saw Li Yan behind Liu Che, "This time I met the emperor by chance again."

Liu Che said with a smile: "It's good to be together by chance.

With you standing in front of me, I don't have to worry about those guys admonishing me in a long way, making me like a foolish king who is addicted to beauty and will ruin the country.

Being familiar with it doesn't necessarily mean being ruthless.

When you are passionate, you are not necessarily a hero."

Swallowing mountains and rivers with anger, lingering tenderness, and living life to the fullest is a true hero.”

Huo Qubing praised "good", picked up the wine bag hanging on the side of the horse, saluted Liu Che, and took a big sip.

Liu Che also picked up the wine bag and took a sip with a big smile.

At this time, the two of them looked more like heroes of the world who cherished each other, rather than the emperor's ministers.

It's no wonder that Liu Che prefers Huo Qubing.

The two of them have many things in common.

They are both full of pride, bold and willful, and both have a disregard for etiquette.

These make Liu Che appreciate Huo Qubing; but on the other hand, they are both extremely different.

They are not similar, one is passionate about power and the other is indifferent to power.

This makes Liu Che rely on Huo Qubing even more.

Li Yan was not in good spirits.

She was leaning on the carriage, looking rather lazy.

She must have been having a hard time during this period.

In addition, her body was already weak and she suffered from internal and external troubles, so it was inevitable that she would continue to suffer from minor illnesses.

It seemed that Liu Che took her out of the palace to relax.

Liu Che was indeed the most favored to Li Yan in the harem.

When he went on a hunting trip, he would rather be inconvenient than bring Li Yan with him who would fall down in the slightest breeze.

Ganquan Palace is named after it is located on Ganquan Mountain.

The mountains are full of lush trees, jagged rocks, and flowing springs, and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.

Qu Bing has followed 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 laughed and talked softly, pointing to each scenic spot and talking about the ins and outs.

Later, he simply slipped away from the group with me, and the two of them gave up and climbed up the mountain path, holding hands.

I don’t know when the others arrived at Ganquan Palace.

Qu Bing and I played all the way and entered Ganquan Palace when it was dark.

The two of them still refused to take the main road and only walked on 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 could only see the moonlight, we could both half-see and half-guess each other.

Although I was surprised when I saw it, my reaction was calm.

But Qu Bing was obviously very shocked and immediately stopped in his tracks, his eyes full of disbelief.

There is no way of knowing whether this was a real chance encounter or a manufactured "accidental encounter."

Li Gan bent his knees and lowered his head to greet Li Yan.

Li Yan stretched out her hand to signal him to get up.

The moment Li Gan got up, he actually grabbed Li Yan's fingertips.

Li Yan probably didn't expect Li Gan to do such an unexpected move.

She looked surprised, but her body trembled slightly, and there were tears in her eyes.

Li Yan, who had always been smart and resourceful, turned into a stone at this time.

She didn't move her hand, but just stared at Li Gan.

Li Gan raised his head and looked at Li Yan.

When their eyes met, he seemed to wake up for an instant and immediately let go.

He held his hand and took a few steps back in a hurry.

Although it was only a short moment, so short that I even suspected that I was dazzled.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Although it was only the fingertips of three fingers, I am afraid that Li Gan could not even feel the warmth of Li Yan's hand, but the burst of forbearance and the strong restraint during the burst were even more...

Shocking.

I don’t know if Li Yan originally wanted to remind Li Gan, but now she just said nothing and hurriedly ran away from Li Gan.

Her speed was too fast, and Huo Qubing and I had not had time to find a place to hide.

Seen by her.

She immediately froze on the spot and looked at us with a pale face.

Li Gan also noticed us.

He subconsciously took a few quick steps and stepped in front of Li Yan, as if we were like a scourge and were about to hurt Li Yan, but he immediately Understand that the current situation is more terrifying than encountering a scourge.

There was a cold light in Li Gan's eyes, and his hands 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 Brother Li San planning to kill someone and silence me?"

Li Yan chuckled a few times and walked out from behind Li Gan.

After a short while, her expression returned to normal, "Of course, our life and death are not in the eyes of the Cavalry General, but it is not certain whether your precious Yu'er can escape."

Neither Li Gan nor Huo Qubing understood what she meant, so I snorted, "I don't know why your reaction is so weird.

Qubing and I just came over and saw the empress running over in a hurry.

We hadn't said hello yet." , Mr.

Li rushed over again."

Li Yan smiled and said: "I have been walking for a long time and am already tired, so I will go back first."

After she finished speaking, she left.

I turned to look at her back and said, "I didn't intend to make a fuss about this, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until today, not out of fear, but out of pity."

Li Yan disappeared into the night without changing her steps, but her originally straight back suddenly became a little bent, as if she was overwhelmed.

Li Gan glanced at Huo Qubing and me coldly, turned and left without saying a word.

The corner of Huo Qubing's mouth was slightly raised, and he looked at me with a half-smile.

I raised my hands in a surrender gesture, and said with a smile, "I'll start from the beginning immediately."

Although I was telling him from the beginning, I only told him that Li Gan picked up the handkerchief, that I handed the handkerchief to Li Yan, and why Li Gan wanted to shoot me that day.

As for why I burned the handkerchief first, The reason why he later changed his mind and gave the veil to Li Yan was not mentioned at all.

It's not that I want to hide it, but I don't know how to describe my feelings in front of him in detail, and I don't know if such a confession will hurt him.

After telling the story, we have returned to our residence.

He didn't ask a word about the changes in my attitude before and after the incident.

He was leaning on the couch with an expressionless face and silently watched me remove my makeup.

I spoke several times, wanting to move on to other things, but he didn't answer, and I fell silent.

The strange silence in the room made me breathless.

I looked at him in the mirror, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

I bit my lip and was about to speak when he suddenly stood up, walked behind me, sat down cross-legged, and took a comb to comb my hair.

"Get sick, me" "No need to explain.

There was nothing wrong with what you did for Meng Jiu that day.

Your character is like this, and this is what I like about you.

I can only say happily that I am more blessed than Meng Jiu.

I will be the one to have these things in the future. ."

He held me in his arms and said softly.

Just as she was still deeply moved by his words, she saw the smile on the corner of his mouth and the narrowed eyes in the mirror.

She suddenly reacted, broke away from him, turned around and hit him angrily, "You did it on purpose.

You pretended to be angry on purpose?

Mind if you scare me on purpose, you stingy guy" He laughed heartily and exchanged a few moves with me in a relaxed manner.

He held my hand with one hand and put his arm around my waist with the other.

The two of them rolled down on the carpet, "You made me suffer a lot back then.

I It’s not an exaggeration to scare you now.”

His loud laughter and my cooing filled the room. ――――――――――――――― For two days in a row, I stuck to Huo Qubing's back like a little tail.

Anyway, I am no worse than these men when it comes to hunting on horseback.

In fact, I will be the one who catches the most prey.

But now is not the time for me to show off my hunting talent.

I just want to make sure that the other men don’t feel that I am a burden by following Huo Qubing.

But I have a very bad habit.

I always forget to use a bow and arrow.

As soon as he saw the prey, his instinctive attack method was to pounce at close range.

Qu Bing almost laughed and bent over.

He reminded me every time, "Yu'er, you have a bow and arrow behind your back that you can borrow.

Don't always act like a wolf."

He rushed forward with all his teeth and claws."

Seeing me turning my head and glaring at him, he added with a smile: "You look very cute with your claws and teeth.

In fact, I like to see it."

Hum, look at the crooked look on his face when he smiles, you would be a fool to believe him Across the hill, I heard a call from afar: "A large herd of deer."

When I heard the sound, I immediately clapped my hands and shouted: "Venison!"

Huo Qubing ran forward and sighed with a smile: "Let's go straight to the point.

I will let you eat as much as you want tonight."

It was really a large herd of deer, densely packed, perhaps thousands of them, galloping across the valley, the sharp horns on their heads flashing coldly in the sun.

I looked at this herd of wild deer in confusion.

Deer herds do not have the habit of large-scale migration.

How could there be so many wild deer traveling together in this place?

Turning his head to the side, he found Gongsun Ao standing next to Huo Qubing.

He didn't know what he said to Huo Qubing.

Qubing's face was green and he was obviously very angry.

I walked towards them.

Gongsun Ao smiled and nodded to me, said hello, pointed at the deer and said to Huo Qubing: "The general is determined to hide this matter, just because he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

Even I overheard it yesterday.

The general only found out after chatting with his attendants.

The general knew in his heart that just be careful and have fun now. " I asked: "What's wrong?"

Huo Qubing raised his bow and pointed it at the deer in the valley, "Li Gan hit uncle."

With the words, the arrow flew out quickly.

From such a distance, Huo Qubing's arrow hit the deer's neck.

"Ah him."

I don't know what to say about Li Gan.

He was so impulsive and reckless that he dared to hit Wei Qing.

Wei Qing has a very special position in the heart of curing diseases.

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 the first time he mounted a horse, and Wei Qing held his hand and taught him the first time he drew the bow.

Qu Bing heard The first story is the story of his uncle's campaign against the Huns.

The life dream of curing illness was also based on his childhood admiration for his uncle.

Although Qu Bing and Wei Qing seemed to be working independently in the army, Wei Qing's position in his heart was irreplaceable.

Li Gan's treatment of Wei Qing in this way was more troublesome than beating and scolding him to cure his illness.

"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.

Gongsun Ao accompanied him and quickly rushed towards the deer.

I saw that he was trying his best to control his anger and didn't want to talk more about this matter, so I let it go and followed him and Gongsun Ao towards the valley.

The guards who were familiar with the valley called each other to point out the master's path and which direction had been occupied.

The guard Liu Dashan who was following me accidentally twisted on a stone.

Although the injury was not serious, his running speed was obviously slowed down. , he asked me to go first.

Although I was not close to the deer here yet, I would be safe if the wild deer ran away.

I didn't dare to leave him, "It doesn't matter, let's go slowly so as not to affect the deer hunting."

I looked up for Huo Qubing, wanting him to wait for me, but I didn't know when he and Gongsun Ao had disappeared.

Among the rocks and trees, it seemed that he was in a rage and just wanted to shoot the deer and vent his anger with blood.

Before people get close to the valley, they suddenly hear exclamations from below, mixed in with the sound of deer hooves, making them indistinguishable.

I felt uneasy.

I only thought about Huo Qubing and no longer cared about others.

I hurriedly said to the guard beside me: "You stay here and don't come down.

I'll take the first step."

Before he finished speaking, the person left quickly.

While flying through the rocks, I suddenly saw a woman dressed exactly like me flashing past among the woods.

I was very surprised, but for the moment I couldn't think too much and just hurried forward.

The valley becomes narrower as it goes here, and the cliffs on both sides are as steep as cutting.

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 stuck in his chest and was lying behind several dead deer.

He didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Huo Qubing had three arrows in one hand, and his arrows were fast and accurate.

The deer that ran towards him were killed in front of him, but there was still an endless stream of deer behind him.

They just rushed forward desperately, and the antlers on their heads were as sharp as blades.

It is possible to insert it into Huo Qubing.

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 were shouting wildly.

Zhao Ponu and the others tried to rush into the deer several times, but they were forced back by the deer and could only shoot arrows outside.

Liu Che appeared under the protection of the guards.

Seeing Huo Qubing's condition, he shouted angrily to the guards: "Don't go and save him yet!"

The guard hurriedly reported back: "There are too many deer, all showing their wild nature, and 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.

We are afraid of mobilizing the army."

Liu Che woke up immediately, casually took off the jade pendant on his body, and handed it to Gongsun He, "Pass my decree to mobilize the troops guarding Ganquan Palace to come in and save people."

Li Yan, who was protected by many guards, stared at Huo Qubing and Li Gan among the deer, her face turned pale and her body was shaky.

Liu Che clenched his fists and walked around on the ground, waiting anxiously for the army to arrive.

He asked angrily: "What's going on?

What's going on with Li Gan?"

All the guards looked at each other, and one of them boldly replied respectfully: "I don't know what happened.

There were no guards accompanying General Hussar and Marquis Guannei at that time."

Contrary to our anxious expressions, Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Wei, who was standing behind everyone, looked at Huo Qubing with a faint smile in his eyes.

Wei Qing's disciples all betrayed him and left, but Ren An, who remained, was naturally highly valued by everyone in the Wei family, and was now the crown prince and young master.

He stood alone in the corner, staring into the distance with a gloomy face, exchanging glances with Mr.

Wei from time to time.

Wei Qing, who was hunting in the distance, 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.

His eyes swept over the faces of Gongsun Ao, Ren An, and Wei and his wife.

Gongsun Ao, Ren An avoided his gaze and lowered his head, but Mr.

Wei looked back at his father angrily.

I stood at the top of the tree, looking down at everything.

There are fewer and fewer arrows in Qu Bing's quiver.

If there are no arrows, how will Qu Bing face thousands of angry deer hooves and sharp antlers?

His body can't help but tremble, and his heart is so panicked that he is about to jump out of his chest. .

You must be calm, you must be calm.

If you want to be sick, you must be calm.

After saying this several times, I jumped off the tree and ran towards Zhao Ponu.

Qu Bing only had the last three arrows left on his body.

Everyone looked at him with bated breath.

He glanced at Li Gan on the ground, and while firing three arrows, he quickly jumped towards Li Gan and took the one from Li Gan.

In the blink of an eye, the quiver of his quiver flipped back to the original place, he nocked the arrow and drew the bow, and fired three more arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the three deer had fallen, but one deer had already rushed in front of him.

The distance was too close, and the arrow power was too great.

Inaccessible.

The deer's sharp horns pierced his waist, and the deer in the distance was charging again.

He held three arrows between the four fingers of his right hand and raised his right foot to rest the bow.

Drawing the knife with his left hand, the blade accurately landed on the deer's neck in front of him.

At the same time, three arrows flew out quickly and penetrated the necks of the three deer.

In the flash of lightning, Huo Qubing made a series of movements.

In the moment of life and death, he still looked free and unrestrained and extraordinary.

Everyone including Liu Che and Wei Qing couldn't help shouting, "Okay" Several generals from Huo Qubing's banner even waved their swords, as if in the army, and shouted "General Hussar, General Hussar" rhythmically.

I pulled Zhao Ponu aside and said, "Master Zhao, please go after Gongsun He immediately, wait until he has finished delivering the imperial edict, and then try to come back with him.

You don't have to do anything, you just need to look at him with your eyes."

"Every move."

I didn't have time to be polite and explain, I just stated the request succinctly.

Zhao Ponu's expression was startled at first, then changed, and then he said loudly: "The general will definitely do it."

He used the tone of the army when receiving military orders, and invisibly risked his life to guarantee that I would complete my request.

I nodded gratefully.

Lowering his head, he immediately turned and left.

I grabbed the quivers from several guards, tied them all to my body, and climbed up from a lonely spot.

When I felt that the height and angle were suitable, I hung myself on a pine tree that poked out of the cliff.

I closed my eyes for a moment.

A long wolf howl came from his throat.

Accompanied by the wolf's roar, I let go of my hand, and my body fell rapidly towards the valley like a meteor.

When the deer heard the howl of the wolf, the group suddenly became confused and hurriedly tried their best to avoid my position.

There were too many deer, and the terrain in the valley was very narrow.

They collided with each other.

Although they were 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 immediately released it.

After repeating this three times, I was close to the ground.

Letting go for the last time and falling, it was almost impossible to find a foothold among the antlers.

Everyone was holding their breath and staring at me.

At this time, I was in mid-air, with nowhere to exert my strength, and there were galloping deer at my feet.

I was falling faster and faster, and it seemed that the only result waiting for me was death.

The golden bead went ahead of me, hitting the deer's head three times with three strikes.

The three fallen dead deer slightly blocked the galloping herd for me.

I took the opportunity to land behind the dead deer's antlers.

The golden bead was rounded and carefully moved.

Protecting the whole body, at the same time using the wolf howl to slow down some of the deer.

Huo Qubing shouted "Jin Yu".

This was not a cry of joy at seeing me, but a scolding sound in anger and shock.

I smiled at him, and while following the herd of deer to approach him with difficulty, I yelled: "Look after yourself.

If I find that you are injured due to distraction, I will definitely not say a word to you for a year."

The distance between the two of us used to be just a few ups and downs based on our respective skills, but today it is extremely difficult to walk.

Every step requires survival among hundreds of galloping deer hooves and sharp antlers.

When I passed him, When the barrier of deer carcasses fell beside him, tears filled both his and my eyes.

No matter what happens next, no matter whether we can survive today, at least we are together.

The moment I arrived, he shot his last arrow.

I immediately threw the quiver behind me to him.

Huo Qubing took the quiver and drew the arrow, a series of movements as fast as lightning.

Looking at the deer that suddenly fell, my calmness suddenly disappeared, and my heart was beating anxiously.

Fortunately, I arrived in time.

If it were later, I didn't dare to think about what would happen.

My archery skills are not as good as his, so I don't waste arrows and put all the quivers I brought at his feet.

He dragged the dead deer to build a "fort" and quickly checked whether he was injured.

As he nocked the arrow, he cursed softly, "You stupid woman."

Li Gan, who was lying motionless on the ground, coughed twice and said intermittently: "Such stupidity is your blessing."

I saw that although there was a lot of blood on Huo Qubing's body, I was not injured, so I turned around to look at Li Gan.

The arrow hit him deeply.

Because he 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.

He tugged at the corner of his lips and smiled with difficulty, "This is Huo Qubing's archery technique.

There is no need to waste your energy.

Although he didn't want to kill with one arrow, he didn't show mercy.

If he had been rescued earlier, he might have survived, but now he can’t.”

I urgently wanted to stop his bleeding, "You must live.

Li Yan is outside.

She looks like she is about to faint.

If you really die, she will probably get seriously ill again."

The expression on Li Gan's face was constantly changing, and all the sorrow, pain, and joy in this life passed by in an instant.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

"Qu Bing, why are you?"

At this moment, I can't say that he is confused, but he is really confused about this matter.

He wants Li Gan to die, which is okay, but he shouldn't use such a stupid method.

Li Gan was a dignified marquis of the Han Dynasty, and his family had served the Han Dynasty for generations.

He shot Li Gan like this, which was also a capital offense according to the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Qubing stared at the deer in front of him without saying a word.

After a few "swish" sounds, several deer fell to the ground again.

Li Gan said in a low voice: "You don't have to be angry, we have all been set up.

I have been unhappy these days, so I ordered all the attendants to go away, and I went hunting alone in a remote place.

When I got here, a woman suddenly appeared, inexplicably.

The ground fought with me, and the moves were so cruel that I had no choice but to kill you.

Only when I saw how you were dressed today did I understand."

He coughed and his words were interrupted.

While I was relieved for him, I said: "I understand.

I just vaguely saw a woman dressed exactly like me.

The chaos of the deer running around is already disturbing, the blood is surging, and the murderous intention is sprouting, not to mention Qu Bing had been angered by Gongsun Ao beforehand, so he shot you in anger."

Li Gan laughed, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, "Gongsun Ao told you that I beat General Wei."

Huo Qubing was silent and did not answer him.

Li Gan said to himself: "I was overly sad when I heard that my father committed suicide, so I went to see General Wei to find out why he refused to let his father lead troops to face the enemy head-on.

My father was not The first time I got lost, why did I commit suicide this time?

His attendants prevented me from seeing him, and they were all talking dirty words about my father.

I was furious.

There was a big fight, and General Wei happened to come out.

He wanted to stop me.

I pushed him in anger, but was immediately pulled away by the guards.

General Wei asked me why I was beating him.

What could I say?

Was he going to do it?

They repeated the words they insulted my father, and they were so angry at the time that they felt they were just a bunch of villains and scum, so they didn't want to say anything more.

Unexpectedly, the villain complained first, and the words of the two attendants 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 earlier or later, but he said it today."

Li Gan suddenly coughed violently, and blood kept pouring out of his mouth.

He grabbed my hand and said, "Miss Jinyu, please, please."

A life was disappearing before my eyes.

Seeing the reluctance and pain in his eyes, I suddenly felt that all the past grievances were nothing to care about.

I hesitated and said: "It is impossible for me to have no bottom line, but I will definitely promise you to try my best to tolerate Li."

Yan will also persuade Qu Bing not to harm her life."

Li Gan gasped a few times, his eyes full of gratitude.

Although his face was horribly pale, his expression was very calm.

Seeing his calmness, my initial hesitation disappeared, and I didn't regret making this promise at all.

He closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips, and moved the index finger of his right hand slowly.

His hand was trembling, but he still struggled to finish one thing.

After shaking for a while, his hand finally stopped and never moved again. .

The smile on his lips was solidified in the deep red blood, revealing indescribable sadness.

I gently raised his hand, and a vine drawn with blood soaked into the edge of the sleeve.

Although I didn't finish writing it, I was so familiar with it that I understood that it was the word "李" with vines entangled with it.

I am not a sentimental person, but when I saw the word "李", I remembered the scene when I first met him, drinking from a large bowl, eating large pieces of meat, and being so heroic, and I felt sad.

I wanted to cut the sleeve into pieces with a knife immediately , on second thought, he carefully cut off the sleeve piece and hid it in his arms.

In the distance, Zhao Ponu, Fu Luzhi, and Yi Jiqian led the heavily armed sergeants to separate the herd of deer.

The number of deer rushing towards us dropped sharply.

We also happened to run out of arrows.

Huo Qubing threw away his bow and used his knife.

Cut open the charging deer, "He's dead."

I walked to Huo Qubing's side and swung the golden beads to kill several deer that were trying to charge from the side.

"Li Gan's words are unconfirmed, but there are still many clues to investigate.

There is a problem with the deer herd.

Although I don't know what method they used to get these deer to gather here, but give me some time, I will definitely find out."

Huo Qubing reached out to hold my hand, looking at Zhao Ponu and others who were getting closer, "I want you to forget everything Li Gan said just now."

His hands were cold, and so were my hands.

Tears welled up in my eyes and I bit my lip to push back the tears, "Okay" Zhao Ponu ran to us, knelt down on one knee to Huo Qubing, but his face was towards me, "Fortunately, the general will live up to his mission."

When Zhao Ponu saw Li Gan in a pool of blood, his expression suddenly changed.

Fu Lu Zhi and Yi Jiqian, both of whom had rough personalities, nervously asked without any hesitation: "Is the Marquis of Guannai dead?"

Huo Qubing calmly ordered: "Bring Li Gan's body with you."

After saying that, he ignored everyone and went ahead.

Zhao Ponu kowtowed to me, "If you hurry up, maybe the Marquis of Guannai will be alive."

I shook my head.

He lowered his head and silently followed Huo Qubing from a distance.

When Liu Che saw Huo Qubing, he was overjoyed at first, but he immediately turned away.

Fu Luzhi placed Li Gan's body on the ground.

Li Yan fainted without saying a word.

The accompanying palace doctor immediately escorted her back to Ganquan Palace.

Liu Che glanced around Li Gan's body, stared at Huo Qubing coldly, and waved his hand.

The guards and low-ranking people who were standing around quickly retreated.

One of the guards wanted to ask me to leave, but I looked at him quietly without moving.

Wei Qing, who had 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 were left in the venue.

Liu Che said coldly: "Give me a reason.

Shooting an important official of the imperial court is punishable by death."

Huo Qubing took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Liu Che, but did not say a word.

Liu Che's face gradually turned blue, and Gongsun Ao hurriedly knelt down and cried: "I am guilty of death by the Marquis of Guan Nei for beating General Wei on that day.

General Wei thought that when he came to Guan Nei Marquis, he behaved inappropriately because his father was newly deceased and he was grief-stricken, so he did not pursue the case. , But today, Ke Chen suddenly told the whole matter to the Hussars General. " Liu Che was so angry that he kicked Gongsun Ao, "Don't you know Qu Bing's temper?"

Gongsun Ao rolled on the ground, then immediately turned over and knelt down.

He didn't care about the injuries on his body, he just kowtowed and kept saying: "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death."

After a short effort, Gongsun Ao's face was already covered in blood.

Wei Qing had a complicated look in his eyes, but in the end he couldn't bear to gain the upper hand.

He was truly grateful for Gongsun Ao's life-saving grace 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 the emperor to punish him as well."

Liu Che ignored Wei Qing and just pointed angrily at Huo Qubing and scolded him, "Seeing that you lead troops and act much more calmly than when you were young, I thought you would have restrained yourself now that you have a wife and son, but you did something like this again today.

Please 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 cold.

He used the strength on the surface to hide the pain in his heart.

The Wei family, which he had regarded as a relative since childhood, still took action against him.

Liu Che must have felt that something was fishy, ​​and he made excuses and reasons for him in his words, hoping to shift the responsibility to Li Gan.

But how could Huo Qubing defend himself by pouring dirty water on a person who was already dead and would not defend himself?

It would be impossible to excuse him and tell the truth, leaving Wei Qing in trouble.

Liu Che has been looking for opportunities to suppress Wei Qing, but Wei Qing never makes mistakes.

Once this happens, regardless of whether Wei Qing knows it or not, Liu Che will not give up this good opportunity.

But Wei Qing is the backbone of the entire Wei family.

If anything goes wrong with Wei Qing, the entire Wei family will be in crisis.

Liu Che waited for Huo Qubing for a long time, 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, "Jinyu, come here."

I stepped forward and knelt quietly beside Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing's motionless figure trembled slightly, but still looked down at the ground without saying a word.

Liu Che said: "I saw Jin Yu's behavior today.

Although I don't like Jin Yu, I have to praise her.

This woman can afford everything you have done for her.

Do you plan to make her a widow?"

Huo Qubing's hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched into fists, with veins pulsing.

Wherever his fingers passed, gravel on the ground was unintentionally gathered into his palms, and streaks of bright red blood trickled out from between his fingers.

Liu Che asked slowly in a cold voice: "Maybe let Jin Yu die with you?"

I went to hold Huo Qubing's hand, pulled his fingers apart into a fist, swept away the gravel in his palm, wiped his left hand clean, and said to himself: "The other hand."

He was stunned for a moment, and put the other hand in his hand.

A hand was handed to me.

After I gently swept away the sand and gravel, I wiped away the blood with a handkerchief and said lightly: "Okay."

After saying that, I held his hand.

Although he didn't push me away, he seemed to Wood, no reaction at all.

I held on stubbornly, staring at him dreamily for a moment.

After a while, he finally turned to look at me, and I smiled at him.

His eyes were filled with brilliance, guilt and warmth.

The original pain and coldness faded a bit, and he slowly held my hand.

The two of us acted as if there was no one around, and everyone else had dumbfounded expressions.

Liu Che suddenly sneered repeatedly, "Jinyu, I'm afraid it would be unnecessary to ask you if you want to die."

I kowtowed respectfully, feeling very grateful to Liu Che in my heart.

Whether it was because he cherished his talent or because he felt something was fishy, ​​he kept giving Huo Qubing a chance, and even wanted to use my life as a threat to pry open Huo Qubing's mouth. , "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people will accompany the General Hussar."

Liu Che walked around in silence, thinking about the laws of the Han Dynasty and his reputation for thousands of years on the one hand, and Huo Qubing's life on the other.

Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was always praised as wise, had a headache.

After a long time, he looked tired and asked, "I heard that a guard was accidentally hit and killed by a deer today."

The leader of the guards on the side immediately replied: "Yes, a total of eight guards were killed by deer, Zhang Jing and Liu Dashan."

I glanced at Liu Dashan from Mr.

Wei, Gongsun Ao, and Ren An, and thought casually that they were doing quite well.

After listening to this, Liu Che nodded, looked up at the sky, and said almost to himself: "Li Gan was trapped in a herd of deer.

He was accidentally knocked down by a deer and died.

He was buried well."

Everyone was stunned, Zhao Ponu and the others were the first to kneel down, "Long live the Emperor!"

Most of the people present also reacted and shouted "Long live the Emperor".

Some were angry and dissatisfied, hating those who stared at Huo Qubing, but under Liu Che's cold words Under his gaze, everyone lowered their heads and knelt down along with others.

Ever since Huo Qubing asked me to forget what Li Gan said, I had been calmly waiting for the verdict.

But now I felt excited.

For the first time, I sincerely kowtowed to Liu Che and shouted sincerely: "Long live the Emperor."

Liu Che glanced at Huo Qubing, who was bending to kowtow.

His eyes were still full of anger, and he threw down his sleeves and left, "Hum, long live.

I really hope I live long, just don't cause me any trouble
