Chapter 100 Resting at Home
"Wonton money? Oh, your two friends have already paid for it."

Huo Guang was stunned, he came here by himself, where did he get any friends. "Did the shopkeeper remember wrongly? I came here by myself, and then left suddenly. I don't have any friends."

"Don't look at my age, the old man is not confused about money. It's the two girls sitting across from you just now. One is quiet and doesn't talk much, and the other has a round face. They pay you the money." After speaking, the old man went to work.

Huo Guang was left standing there alone in astonishment, friend?sitting opposite?Two girls?

Isn't that the legendary Princess Rongan?

Huo Guang couldn't help shivering, and an ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Princess Rong'an is a trivial matter. The key is that without the jade pendant, Huo Guang's mood is not so beautiful.

The whole night Huo Guang didn't want to talk much, he felt a little guilty when he saw Huo Qubing, he used to never leave the jade pendant, the two of them were the same, they all wore it on his body, now without the jade pendant, Huo Guang always felt that he was short of something.

Huo Guang regretted it when he thought about it, why did he insist on eating wontons? If he didn't eat wontons, he wouldn't have met Princess Rong An, and if he didn't meet Princess Rong An, he wouldn't have run away in fright, and he wouldn't have lost his jade pendant .

Huo Guang spent the whole night in this kind of complicated mood and self-blame, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. Anyway, he couldn't remember anything when he thought about it.

Huo Guang slept on the bed in an extremely inelegant posture. He had been sleeping in the military tent during this time. Sleeping in the military tent was at best lying down, which had nothing to do with comfort.

Huo Guang lazily stretched his waist, rubbed his sleepy eyes, squinted his eyes, and felt the warm morning light of Chang'an.

He kept lying on the bed for a while, and suddenly opened his eyelids. Today seemed to be his first day at work.Huo Guang quickly jumped up from the bed.

Get dressed in a hurry, wash up, and walk out the door.

He happened to meet his elder brother Huo Qubing at the door. Huo Guang had been seeing Huo Qubing acting strangely for the past two days, as if he had something on his mind.

Huo Guang just wanted to ask his elder brother what's on his mind, so he might as well talk to him, even if it can't be solved, at least one more person can come up with an idea, before he could speak, the servant hurried over, followed by Eunuch Liu.

Eunuch Liu is a fine individual, he speaks nonsense when he sees people, and he speaks nonsense when he sees ghosts. So for other people, basically keep a safe distance.

This is also the brilliance of Eunuch Liu. Emperor Wu was fickle and suspicious, but he always put Eunuch Liu at his side at ease, because he did not form a party and did not seek personal gain.

"Eunuch Liu has worked hard, so early, does the emperor have any intentions?" Huo Qubing said politely.

Eunuch Liu showed his signature smile, "The old slave passed on the emperor's instructions. Huo Guang, the captain of the chariot, has returned from a long battle. He is physically and mentally exhausted, so he is specially allowed to recuperate at home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Huo Guang received the decree, although he didn't understand why the emperor didn't let him go to work all of a sudden, but the boss meant that he should be paid as usual, that's fine.Isn't it the life he once wanted to get paid without going to work?

He was beautiful in his heart, but Huo Qubing beside him spoke up, his tone was not as relaxed as Huo Guang's, and his tone was much more serious, "Eunuch Liu, do you know why the emperor suddenly changed his mind and asked Brother Guang to rest at home?"

Eunuch Liu pursed his lips into a smile, and said slowly, "The emperor just feels sorry for Captain Huo, and just let Captain Huo rest for a few more days. Don't think too much about it, General Hussars."

Although Huo Qubing is not very old, after all he has received the emperor's salary for a few years longer than Huo Guang, and he must know the emperor better than Huo Guang. When he awarded the reward yesterday, he still made a vow, and today he suddenly let Huo Guang stay at home to recuperate.

On the surface, it is more euphemistic, the position is still the captain of Fengche, it is like this in the officialdom, if you are appointed, you are the official position, if you are not appointed, you will be put aside, no matter how big the position is, it is just a false name, nothing significance.

Originally, Huo Guang just wanted to be lazy and didn't think about it any further, but when he heard Huo Qubing's question, he secretly gasped inwardly. After all, he had worked in a state-owned enterprise for several years, so he still had some political acumen. Yes, after carefully pondering the meaning of the emperor's words, this is to put him aside.

But Eunuch Liu had already answered in this way, so naturally he would not tell them the truth. Besides, Huo Guang didn't say anything. The two brothers sent Eunuch Liu away, and returned to the yard one after the other.

Huo Guang first asked, "What do you think about today's events?"

"Needless to say, it must be Xu Zhang and the others who are behind this. I don't know what they said to the emperor, but the emperor would suddenly let you stay at home."

Huo Guang shook his head in his heart, originally thought that it was a staggered history, Emperor Wu's personality would be different, it turned out that he was dull, since ancient times emperors were ruthless and ungrateful, they were all the same suspicious.

He himself has nothing to do with it, and it is not a high-ranking official to give him the official position of Captain Fengche. The key is that he is Huo Guang, and he has a brave brother who holds military power, Huo Qubing.Putting those two things together is a big deal.

The elder brother holds the military power, and the younger brother is always at the emperor's side. It's hard for Emperor Wu not to mind, and with the addition of others fanning the flames, Huo Guang's heart is half cold.The emperor did not directly remove him from his post. He was probably still hesitating. After all, Emperor Wu's love for the Huo brothers was true.

After Huo Guang figured it out, he felt that it didn't matter anymore. Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. In fact, there is nothing good about being with the emperor. It would be better to give him a foreign job, which would give him a lot of freedom. The king is like a tiger, if I don't have this position, wouldn't I hug my head even tighter, not happy with the gains, not sad with the losses."

Huo Qubing thought for a while, then nodded slightly. Since his younger brother said so himself, he has nothing to be angry about. The emperor just let him rest at home, and didn't say whether his position will be changed. Even if there is a turning point, Huo Qubing also felt relieved. In one breath, now I can only wait and see the changes.

Since Huo Guang didn't have to go to work with the emperor, Huo Guang had a free time, and the top priority now was to find the jade pendant.

Rong An carefully admired the jade pendant in his hand, when suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, Qiaoer grinned heartlessly and ran into Rong An's room.

Putting away his palms and hiding the jade pendant in his sleeves again, Rong An said, "What's the matter, you're in a panic?"

"Princess, I went to the wonton stall again today, guess what?" Qiaoer paused, looking at Princess Rong'an in a mysterious way, quite proud.

"Say it, don't tell me I'm leaving."

"Okay, let me tell you, that bastard from yesterday ran back to the stall."

Qiaoer is nervous every day. Originally, Rongan was not interested in what she said, just because of that person, "Why did he come back again?"
