[Hanwu Huo Wei] There are trees in the mountains

Chapter 10

In March, the Son of Heaven toured the east, and summoned the great generals, generals of hussars and other important officials of the court to accompany the emperor.

General Hussars was in charge of guarding the east during this tour, and he rode in front of Luanjia.

The straight road was dusty and the bells were ringing one after another. Huo Qubing seemed to be absent-minded while holding his whip. He turned his head to look at Luanjia behind him from time to time, frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. .

"Boss, I haven't seen you smile since I left Chang'an. What's the matter?" Zhao Puonu followed Huo Qubing all the time, seeing that his brows were frowning, and the depression between his brows was condensed and condensed, he asked worriedly. .

Although Huo Qubing is indifferent and usually taciturn, he occasionally smiles and chats with his close subordinates.But since he opened the mansion alone, he seems to have been in a depressed mood, and there are even fewer words.Watching the military training in the barracks, several captains asked Huo Qubing for some advice, but they only got a few words at most.Everyone asked questions again and again, until Huo Qubing got impatient and finally opened his mouth to throw a few more words and even gave him a pair of blank eyes.

What made everyone even more surprised was that there seemed to be some estrangement between the close general and Hussar General, and this strangeness also came out after Hussar General opened the mansion alone.After the court disbanded, every time the Hussar General wanted to speak to the General, the General would either make excuses to go first, or simply leave Chengming Hall with other courtiers as if he hadn't seen him.

The hussar general was left standing alone on the thousand stone steps, holding the jade board tightly in his hands, his eyes were covered with a layer of unexplained worry.

People who don't know what's going on are guessing that this may have something to do with the emperor's increasing preference for the use of hussar generals and the neglect of the general.

The most alluring thing in the world is power. Just because of power, this pair of uncle and nephew who are so close to each other can turn against each other, making people shake their heads and sigh.

But only Huo Qubing knew that the reason why his uncle didn't want to see him was because of that drunken night.

"Boss?" Zhao Puonu called again seeing Huo Qubing staring at the front without speaking.

Huo Qubing didn't answer, he just glanced at Zhao Ponu and then stared straight ahead, let go of the reins in his hand and let the famous fiery red horse go as he pleases.

Zhao Puonu felt that it was not an option to just let Huo Qubing be in a trance like this, and he had a premonition that something would happen sooner or later if the boss continued to be so distracted.So he approached Huo Qubing with a gossip look on his face and asked Huo Qubing in a low voice: "Boss, what do you mean by His Majesty letting the general stay in the Luanjia every day? I haven't seen any decree issued, what is this for discussion?" The military affairs have been discussed for so long and there is no countermeasure?"

As soon as these words fell into his ears, Zhao Puonu saw that Huo Qubing's already frowning brows became even tighter, and even those dark eyes that were calm were darkened.

"If you don't want your head, just say it, I'll pick it off for you."

Huo Qubing finally spoke. He looked at Zhao Puonu coldly, which scared the latter into a cold sweat.

"What you shouldn't say, hold back." Huo Qubing flicked his whip and beat his horse to the front, leaving Zhao Ponu to shrink his neck and touch the back of his neck with his hand.The head was still there, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The winter in the second year of Yuanshou was extremely cold, with heavy snowfall everywhere, many cattle and sheep froze to death in the crop circles in the field, and it was not slowed down in the early spring of the third year of Yuanshou.Liu Che originally expected that the pre-war preparations for the cross-desert war to eradicate the Xiongnu disaster in one fell swoop were dragged on and on.

"There is a vast expanse outside the window. With this catastrophe, the Huns should be rampant again!"

Wei Qing said: "The heavy snow in Guanzhong crushed many houses, the people were displaced, and a large number of refugees flooded into Chang'an City. The urgent task of disaster relief is a major matter."

"I wake up, it's not about money in the final analysis. I have approved the proposal of Da Si Nong to nationalize salt and iron, and levy more taxes on all merchants, next year at the latest! I want you to cross Momo I will completely eliminate the Xiongnu and pacify the north!"

Liu Che put down the curtain made of mink fur, but the cold air entered the car through the gap between the car window and the curtain. The cold air made Wei Qing hold his throat and cough for a long time.

Putting his hand on the thin back and patting it gently for a while, Liu Che took the hot soup he had prepared earlier and fed it to his general himself mouthful by mouthful.Wei Qing's pale face blushed twice, and he didn't need to guess to know that he was embarrassed.He refused at first, but the emperor was determined to feed him himself, and the emperor raised his brows and looked gloomy after rejecting for a long time, as if he was going to roar in the next second.

Wei Qing knew his heart, and after a long delay, he didn't know what Liu Che was going to find to cause headaches for the officials below, so he had to let Liu Che's willfulness and reluctantly drank the hot soup.Liu Che is a master who is used to being served by others. It is rare to say that he has never done the work of serving soup and water to others. In addition, there was a slight bump in the car, and the soup in the spoon spilled out along Wei Qing's path. neck slipped down.Liu Che stared at the water mark that slowly slipped into the tightly buttoned skirt, and even if he had seen the imaginative place inside, he would recall it thousands of times like being poisoned.The hand holding the towel to wipe Wei Qing's soup gradually hooked the skirt of Tibetan blue and pulled it to both sides.

Wei Qing was shocked immediately, he broke free nimbly and quickly backed away, a sharp look flashed across his face, and then he bowed down in front of Liu Che in the car.

He touched his head to the ground and said nothing, but the refusal was obvious.

Liu Che stared at Wei Qing fiercely for a long time, the anger in his eyes brightened and dimmed.Finally, he flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "General, get up."

Wei Qing thanked him, raised his head cautiously, and inadvertently moved a little away from Liu Che.

Seeing his defensive behavior, Liu Che was even more furious.He stared at Wei Qing for a while, but he didn't speak, and Wei Qing also lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking extremely respectful.

Liu Che suppressed the anger in his heart, summoned his servants and asked him to deliver an order to Huo Qubing to set up a Xingyuan nearby.Liu Che saw that the nearby high mountains and steep forests were densely forested, and there were many rare wild animals hidden in the mountains. He wanted to stay here for a few days to hunt.

Wei Qing took the initiative to prepare for the hunt.When the weather is cold in winter and spring, the cold syndrome he contracted in the early years will attack, sometimes the whole body is cold and powerless, so he did not participate in this hunting.

The emperor led his ministers into the forest early in the morning to start hunting.In the big tent, Wei Qing held the bamboo slips and looked at the map spread out on the case table. He read it very carefully, and his brows never loosened for a moment.

Suddenly the curtain was opened and then lowered, a figure walked a few steps and stopped, the figure moved and finally did not approach.Wei Qing raised his head and saw Huo Qubing holding a bow in one hand, and the other hand hanging by his side. Feeling Wei Qing's gaze, Huo Qubing put the hand hanging by his side on his back.

Wei Qing looked Huo Qubing up and down, saw a few drops of bright red blood on the ground, and then looked at Huo Qubing's calm expression.He said in a cold voice, "Come here."

"You allow me to go over?" Huo Qubing didn't move, just asked.

Wei Qing glanced at his nephew with a half-smile. "Not yet."

Huo Qubing hesitated a few times, but he moved to Wei Qing's side and stood there, not daring to sit down, his hand was further and further hidden.Wei Qing directly raised his hand and pulled Huo Qubing's hidden hand over, Huo Qubing immediately hissed.

Wei Qing took a deep breath.Huo Qubing's hand was stained blood red, blood was still dripping down his slender fingers, and the armor in his hand was already broken and he didn't know where it fell. brown.

"Where did you get it?" Wei Qing took a clean cloth and wiped the blood off Huo Qubing's hands, and asked the guards outside the tent to bring in the medicine.

Flesh turned out, the wound was deep, but Huo Qubing glanced at it nonchalantly.He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "The wild bear caught it."

"Your ability is getting better and better." Wei Qing is very aware of Huo Qubing's ability.Huo Qubing was born intelligent and highly skilled in martial arts. He could shoot three arrows with one bow, and his swordsmanship was even more superb. A mere bear couldn't do anything to him, so how could he be injured like this.

Huo Qubing heard the accusation in Wei Qing's words, and just smiled lightly. "No, I'm afraid uncle will never see Qu Bing once in his life."

"If you demean yourself like this, it will only make your mother sad."

"What about uncle?"

Huo Qubing suddenly asked eagerly.

Wei Qing took the medicine brought by the attendant, lifted up Huo Qubing's sleeve which was scratched by the bear and sprinkled it on. "You were raised by me, what do you think?" He asked back.

Huo Qubing curled his lips, but his eyes were full of joy and sorrow. "I think uncle is concerned about Qubing, but also afraid..."

"afraid?"

"Didn't uncle tell Qu Bing not to come to you when he's fine? Qu Bing has to let himself have something to do."

Wei Qing was startled when he heard this, and finally heaved a long sigh.He patted his side to make Huo Qubing sit down, and raised his hand to stroke his nephew's head.She couldn't bear that doting tone any longer: "If you let go of that absurd thought, how could uncle treat you like this."

Huo Qubing shook his head, and said seriously: "But uncle should also know how difficult it is to control love."

Wei Qing didn't want to talk too much about the word "love" with Huo Qubing.He didn't understand, and he didn't want to watch his nephew make mistakes again and again.Kaijie said: "You just mistook your admiration for uncle for the love between men and women, and you will understand when you get married."

After hearing this, Huo Qubing was silent for a long time without speaking.

When Wei Qing wanted to continue persuading, Huo Qubing continued to speak.

"Qu Bing has long understood that Qu Bing loves Uncle. If Uncle hates him, he will hate him." He held Wei Qing's hand tightly, the wound burst open due to force, and the gauze wrapped around his arm was soaked in blood. "Uncle, treat Qu Bing like a nephew. As long as Qu Bing loves Uncle, that's fine. Unless Qu Bing dies one day, this love will never change!"

Even if you die, it will not change.Huo Qubing didn't say anything.

His eyes were so hot that it almost burned Wei Qing's eyes.Wei Qing seemed to feel the strong throbbing from Huo Qubing's heart through their hands.

"Nonsense! You can't die!" Wei Qing was both anxious and heartbroken.

He didn't want to ruin Qu Bing, but Qu Bing would ruin himself sooner or later if he had this kind of intention.He neglected and alienated him, but it made him fall in love with him even more, and now he wants to ignore her.Wei Qing no longer knew whether to continue to hurt Qu Bing with cold eyes and force his nephew to turn around, or to just watch him continue to step into the abyss.
