Long live the general

At night, Cong Yunmeng pasted the bought fabric on Huo Yi's body and said with emotion: "I grew taller, but also lost weight. It must be because the military camp was too hard."

Huo Yi said with a smile, he stretched out his arm to show her the thin layer of muscles on his body, and boasted that he pulled the three stone bow with all his strength, pierced walls and pierced armor, and was unmatched in the army.

Cong Yunmeng asked him to stand obediently to measure the clothes, Huo Yi immediately stopped moving, and said: "I can't wear these in the army...you can make them for Xiaoyue."

"How can the little girl use this color, and I also bought new clothes for her." Cong Yunmeng shook her head, and drew a length against Huo Yi's arm.Huo Yi looked ahead, and suddenly heard Cong Yunmeng carefully ask: "... How long can you stay in Chang'an this time?"

She wanted to ask this question yesterday.

Huo Yi paused, and said, "I will spend the Lantern Festival with you this year."

That night when Huo Yi lay down, the bamboo shadows swayed under the moonlight, and there was a soft fragrance on the bed, which should be the soothing incense prepared by Cong Yunmeng for him.He tried to fall asleep, but his mind kept thinking about some messy things, which had nothing to do with being busy, and it was entirely his own problem.However, Huo Yi has made great progress in these years, and he has accepted his difficulty in falling asleep. If he can't fall asleep, he can get up and do other things.

There is also a separate shooting range at home. Huo Yi went to the shooting range quietly. After a stick of incense, the center of the target was full of arrows, and Huo Yi's thoughts became calm and peaceful.

If Zhou Zhenzhen wanted to formally fight back against the Xiongnu, it would take at least two months to prepare, dispatch troops, concentrate training, transport supplies, and deliver news... This is still under the condition that everything goes well.

Zhou Zhenyan is different from the first emperor... probably, he still has some time to think about it.When this war is over, I will write a letter to become an official. With military merits in my body, it will be more dignified to leave.

call out--!

The arrow pierced through the bull's-eye, making a crisp sound, and the tail feathers trembled slightly.

Clap, clap, applause came from the side.

"How did you do it?" Huo Lingyue asked curiously. She was wearing a neat bright yellow dress, with her hands folded in her sleeves, and she didn't know how long she stood beside her.

"It's not yet dawn." Huo Yi thought to himself that this color is more suitable for the little girl, and he said, "You got up too early, why don't you sleep for a while."

The little girl raised her sharp chin: "Didn't you get up too?"

"Children won't grow taller if they don't get enough sleep."

"But I'm already taller than them." Huo Lingyue was stubborn, she saw Huo Yi started to pack the bow and arrow, ran over to help pull out the arrow, and said, "You haven't told me how to be like you. "

Huo Yi asked: "Do you practice archery at home?"

"Uncle Wang has been teaching me since I was five years old." Huo Lingyue said, "There are also sword skills and horse riding. Grandma made me a small bow by herself."

Huo Yi thought to himself, five years old is about the same, and he also started to get in touch with these things at this time.

Huo Lingyue looked at the bow in Huo Yi's hand and asked, "Can I try your bow?"

"It's heavy." Huo Yi said.

"I'm also very strong."

Huo Lingyue is very assertive, strong-willed and has a tough personality. Huo Yi feels that she is not like his brother or sister-in-law, but more like Huo Fengnian.

His elder brother is actually a very gentle person. Huo Yi's swordsmanship is not as good as Huo Xin's. When he was a child, he pestered his elder brother to compete again and again, and Huo Xin was willing to take the trouble to guide him.

Huo Yi handed the bow to Huo Lingyue, and Huo Lingyue took it excitedly, and then she felt a heavy force coming, and she tried her best to hold the huge bow.

She bit her lip in frustration, the bow was hard to hold, let alone use.

"I was only able to use this bow when I was 13 years old." Huo Yi took the bow back and said, "If you want to practice archery, I will wait for you at the shooting range every morning at three o'clock in the morning."

This time was too early, Huo Lingyue was worried about what he said before that he was not tall, and asked: "Can't it be during the day?"

"I don't necessarily have time during the day."

"Are you busy?" Huo Lingyue asked: "I see that other officials are at home except for going to court. You don't even have to go to court."

"I'm not the one who decides if I have time." Huo Yi shrugged, he saw that Huo Lingyue's hair was still loose, and the morning mist shrouded her body: "Go back and put on some clothes before going out, especially keep your hands and feet warm , or you will get frostbite..."

Huo Lingyue listened to his nagging expressionlessly.

Huo Yi noticed her expression and knew that his niece was already getting annoyed, because at his age, he was also very impatient when his family said these things.

"By the way, who taught you to read? Has your family invited you a husband?"

Huo Lingyue: "No, Uncle Wang will teach me how to read."

Huo Yi said, "I'll send you to a private school."

"I don't want to go." Huo Lingyue resisted very much: "I don't like those people."

"Then I can't teach you how to archery." Huo Yi smoothly tied her hair up: "If you don't study, how do you know what you are shooting for?"

Huo Lingyue's hair was thin and soft, and Huo Yi tied her into a rough ponytail. He couldn't do anything more complicated.

This is the child of his brother and sister-in-law... He wants to raise her, but not only to feed and clothe her, he hopes that Huo Lingyue can grow into a better child.

He hoped that Huo Lingyue would be kind, strong, and not be deceived or hurt.

For the next two days, the emperor still called Huo Yi into the palace every day, and stayed in the palace for lunch.Zhou Zhenxie is a court madman, he will delay indefinitely the time of the next court, and often complains to Huo Yi, why they have to rest for one day every five days in the court, they should show the value of the monthly salary of two thousand stones.

Huo Yi guessed that those ministers must often scold him in their hearts.

The sheriffs of Bianjun returned to Chang'an one by one, including Li Yi.I heard that after he came back, he stayed behind closed doors and didn't visit anyone.Huo Yi gave him a small gift, the share was the same as other county guards, no more, no less.

There was no response from Li Yi.

Speaking of which, Huo Yi is much more popular than him.Huo Yi also treats those officials who are lower than him with courtesy, and has never targeted anyone. The gifts that should be given during the New Year and holidays are not discounted at all, and he does things very appropriately.There are no strange relatives in his family, relying on the power of the Huo Mansion to do things such as taking women from the people, dominating the market, and plundering the land.He is also a border county sheriff, and there is not much conflict of interest with the ministers of Chang'an.

The most sensitive thing about Huo Yi is Huo Fengnian, which makes the ministers very worried about making friends with him, but it will not be deliberately embarrassing.

Huo Yi didn't care about their opinions, but before Cong Yunmeng and Huo Lingyue were forced to stay in Chang'an, he could only protect his family in this way.

The day before the enthronement ceremony, Zhou Zhen called Huo Yi into the palace.

It wasn't just him today, the emperor also summoned another person.The minister took Huo Yi to the hunting ground in Dongyuan. He didn't see Zhou Zhenyan. The minister took a set of hunting clothes for him to change into, and prepared a bow and arrow.

After Huo Yi changed his clothes, he heard the crisp sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near. He was very sensitive to this sound.On the battlefield, it is a basic skill to be able to hear the number and distance of the enemy from the sound of horseshoes.Huo Yi raised his head, and saw that the current saint was wearing a black hunting suit, the cuffs were tightened, and the belt stretched out his thin waist. He was riding a pure black horse. His eyes were extremely bright and shone with a seductive light.

Zhou Zhenyan rarely showed his emotions like this, most of the time he was calm and calm, without any hesitation in his eyes.

Zhou Zhenxie drove his horse to stop in front of Huo Yi. He sat on the horse and looked down at Huo Yi who was wearing a lean hunting suit. The bow and arrow in his hand made Huo Yi look cold and sharp. He was originally sharper than the cold wind in winter, sharper than ice and snow. It is more lingering, indomitable, and indestructible, but all of this is hidden.

The emperor hadn't seen Brother Huo like this for a long time. He lowered his head and stared at him for a long time. His eyes met Huo Yi's. After a while, Huo Yi looked away.

"Your Majesty, I have hunted a stag, please take a look at it." Another voice came, breaking the atmosphere of silence between the two.

Huo Yi turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man walking over with his bow and arrows put away, and the attendant beside him was dragging a dead deer.His drooping eyebrows, rough skin, and obvious scars on his face gave him a very fierce look.Tall, muscular, with a slightly arched back and a few strands of white in the hair.

The governor of Yuanfang, Li Yi.

Li Yi has reached the age of forty, a general of the three dynasties, participated in countless wars, took the lead and fought with his life, wandering on the line of life and death all year round.

However, he is still only a sheriff.

The first person Huo Yi recommended before was Li Yi. Zhou Zhenyan didn't know much about this general of the three dynasties, so he was recruited into the palace to get to know him.

Both are sheriffs, Huo Yi and Li Yi are at the same level, but Huo Yi is a junior, he nodded friendly towards Li Yi, Li Yi looked at him, and suddenly said: "Huo Junshou, you gave me a gift before." letter."

That was a long time ago, when the Huns invaded, Huo Yi felt that the situation was critical, so he wrote to Li Yi to ask him to prepare for defense.

"The letter was delivered too late. The Xiongnu had united with the Little Qiang Kingdom and launched an attack half a month ago." Li Yi snorted: "Didn't you send the letter on purpose after the Huns retreated?"

Huo Yi: "..." This person really doesn't sound good, no wonder he is the most popular in court.

He raised his head, and the lines at the corners of his eyes and brows were extremely smooth, as if painted with ink: "Junshou Li, Xihebian County is half a month's journey away from Yuanfang County."

After he finished speaking, he smiled gently, stepped back half a step, and made way for them.

"Does Huo Qing want to come and play for a while?" Zhou Zhenyan asked while sitting on the horse.

He asked Huo Yi to change into the hunting clothes, so there was no room for discussion. The courtier brought Huo Yi a white horse with bright black eyes, beautiful mane, and slender limbs like blades.Huo Yi practiced riding and archery since he was a child, but he fell in love with this horse immediately. He exchanged feelings with the white horse with skillful techniques, and then stepped on the horse's back.

"The name of this horse is Baiwu, and it's a plateau horse from the north." Zhou Zhenyan stood side by side with him and said, "Aiqings, you can hunt as you like today, and whatever you hunt is yours."

This was said to the two of them together, Li Yi whistled, got on the horse and left.

Zhou Zhenxie asked with a smile, "What does Huo Qing want to do today?"

Huo Yi is immovable: "Follow the fate."

The author has something to say:

Huo Yi: As a worker in Da Viet, whether I have time is of course up to the boss.
