cold branch low

The sun was about to set, and dusk was falling.

The street vendors in the small town are almost packed up during the day, and there will be another batch at night. At this time, most people are cooking at home, and the lights of thousands of houses are shining brightly.

The youth is such a person walking on the stone road in the small town.

His face was slightly pale, and he seemed to be in poor health, but his eyes, which were like stars in the dark night, were shining sharply.The bridge of the nose is high, all the outlines are like a knife carving, the lips are thin and tight, and he looks like a prince, if you ignore the very ill-fitting clothes on his body.

This person is the king Duan who is now concerned about the whereabouts of the whole Daqi - Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao lay down sickly after Wen Renhuang went out. He rarely got sick, but was often injured.

Ever since the old general Huo Zhizhong passed away, he was falsely named king with a different surname by the emperor, but in fact he was deprived of military power. His father led troops for Daqi all his life, but he couldn't keep the Huo family's military exploits.

Afterwards, he practiced martial arts diligently, and whenever there was turmoil in the frontier, he would volunteer to volunteer. It took him many years and injuries to win back so much.

Huo Xiao closed his eyes, hiding in the box and watching the scene where his father and brother were killed.

He thought again, it was like he was dying in the snow.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, he slowly opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

His footsteps are vain, unlike those who practice martial arts.

"Young master, the villain is here to deliver medicine to you under the order of my master." A timid voice sounded.

Huo Xiao frowned, stood up and stared at the visitor.

A drug boy.

When the drug boy saw that the man was so fierce that he didn't even have any clothes on, he immediately turned pale with fright: "Master, son, this is medicine!"

Seeing the medicine boy holding a tray with a bowl of boiled medicine and a note on it, he squinted his eyes: "Why did you come to deliver the medicine?"

The drug boy suddenly felt a sense of oppression, and he said with difficulty: "The master said, please take the medicine, and there is a note here, so you can understand it after reading it."

Feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, he lifted the quilt and walked over.

Seeing that the man was so tall, the drug boy was even more frightened, and the hand holding the tray trembled unconsciously. Huo Xiao glanced at him, took the note directly, and his face darkened after seeing it.

"My lord, this medicine..." The medicine boy asked cautiously. Seeing the man's dark face and dark clouds pressing down on the city, he cursed bitterly in his heart.

Huo Xiao said coldly: "Leave it alone, go back and tell your master that I understand."

Yaotong put down his tray and was about to leave as if he had been granted amnesty, but was stopped by Huo Xiao again.

Huo Xiao looked at him with a complicated expression, and said in a muffled voice, "Leave the clothes."

Wen Renhuang was put on the horse's back and bumped all the way. When the horse stopped, he almost vomited, but he hardly ate anything after working so hard all day. At this time, his stomach was empty, and all he vomited out was acidic water. .

His meridians were blocked, and he couldn't use his kung fu, so he could only let Elder Guo call for someone to drag him off his horse and put him on a magnificent boat.

Qu Ning stopped his horse slowly, squinting at Wen Renhuang's back, wondering what he was thinking.

"Mr. Qu, you go in first, this old man will show you the wound on your waist." Elder Guo shouted to him from the horse.

Qu Ning shook his head: "I don't dare to take it lightly if King Duan is not here. If he comes with troops, I will find out in time and let you anchor and sail."

Elder Guo thought for a while and said slowly: "In my opinion, King Duan will come alone this time as the note said."

"Why?" Qu Ning asked with a frown.

"Because Wen Renhuang is in our hands," Elder Guo said, "I followed that little baby to the inn. Do you know that King Duan doesn't have a single thread on his body?"

Qu Ning raised his eyebrows: "They?"

Elder Guo laughed and said: "If my guess is correct, someone set the fire on the palace the day before yesterday on purpose, and that person injured King Duan, causing him to keep his Qi and blood blocked and the old injury relapsed. And they don't know what to do. What happened, King Duan's spurt of blood was caused by his unsteady mood..."

Qu Ning blushed when he said this, and it is not difficult to guess what Elder Guo meant, but he always felt that something was wrong: "According to you, Wen Renhuang is deeply loved by King Duan, but since that's the case that day Why did he run away?"

It is said that when Wen Renhuang was arrested in Heiluan for the first time when he fled that day, Elder Guo stroked his beard and rolled his eyes: "It may be that young people are having conflicts or something, and it is also possible that King Duan's temper is not human. Everyone can afford it."

Qu Ning frowned: "His martial arts was really taught by King Duan?" It's just a peacock, Wen Renhuang can at most be a three-legged cat kung fu, but it's obviously not the first time I saw it today.

Elder Guo said: "I'm just talking casually. After all, I haven't seen his martial arts routines, nor have I seen Duan Wang do it, so I naturally associate the two of them together. After all, if Duan Wang spoils him, teach him some tricks. Kung fu self-defense is also reasonable."

He thought for a while, and then continued: "Prince Duan's mansion is in trouble, and King Duan did not stay to preside over the overall situation, but appeared here with this little doll, doesn't it show that he takes this little doll seriously? With such a serious injury, there is no one to take care of him, only the little doll is left, and if he says he doesn't like this doll, he won't believe it!"

Qu Ning was taken aback by what he said: "In this way, doesn't Prince Duan love Wen Renhuang to death?"

Elder Guo said with a serious face: "I guess it is, so I let him come alone, he will definitely not lead the army."

So when Wen Renhuang was hungry and wolfed down the food on the table, he saw the two of them walking into the boat together from the outside, looking at him with eyes... extraordinarily hypocritical.

Elder Guo sat down with a smile and asked: "Young Master Wenren feels better this time, do you want me to prescribe some medicine to soothe your stomach?"

Wen Renhuang glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Qu Ning shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly: "Young Master Wenren, don't be cautious, the prince may arrive soon."

Wen Renhuang's ears twitched, and when he heard that Huo Xiao might really be coming, he finally couldn't hold back: "What do you want him to do?"

Elder Guo smiled and gave Qu Ning a "look, I'll tell you" look, and said, "Oh, baby, don't be so guarded against us, we all said that we won't do anything to the prince, but there is an order from above to ask the prince to go back and drink. Let's drink tea and chat."

Wen Renhuang sneered seldom: "If you just drink tea and chat, why don't you let the people above you go to Duanwang's mansion to find the prince, but use this despicable method to invite the prince to go, obviously just to be some normal people We all know bad things."

"Hey baby, it's wrong for you to say that," Elder Guo said hastily, "No matter what, we still have to heal the prince's wounds. It's not right for you to kill a boatload of people like this!"

"I didn't want to kill the whole boat with one shot," he said angrily, "I wanted to get off the boat first, and then kill all of you with one shot."

Elder Guo was speechless, and Qu Ning suddenly gloated.

Wen Renhuang really couldn't figure out why they insisted that Huo Xiao would die for himself, at least in his opinion, if King Duan entered Hei Luan, he would be beaten to death.

And even if I had deliberately made them misunderstand that I was King Duan's favorite, why did they think so highly of his status as a mere male favorite.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Qu Ning reminded with rare kindness: "Mr. Wenren, you don't have to worry about the prince. Prince Duan is the pillar of Daqi. Although we are not a decent family, we still care about the general situation of the country and don't know how to do it." Something excessive."

Wen Renhuang held his breath and asked sullenly: "If the prince doesn't come, what will happen to me?"

They only thought about what would happen if Huo Xiao brought someone here, but they never thought about what if Huo Xiao didn't come?

Qu Ning hesitated for a while and said, "Are you having a conflict?"

Wen Renhuang choked back a mouthful of old blood, his face flushed red.Elder Guo had sharp eyesight and quickly patted him on the back, his concern was as close as Feng Tian's. Wen Renhuang was a little moved, but he heard Elder Guo say: "If King Duan doesn't come, we will give him the little boy's hand." Send it over, if you don’t come again, send another hand, if you don’t come again, all the limbs will be sent, then we will let the baby go, and we will tell the superiors that the mission failed, and at worst we will be punished.”

Wen Renhuang silently avoided his hand.

He suddenly hoped that Huo Xiao would appear in front of him right away, so that even if he died, he would be a backup.

God seems to have heard the call in his heart, only to hear Qu Ning get up and shout with a smile on his hands: "Welcome King Duan."

Wen Renhuang turned his head and saw the visitor's heart tremble, and was about to call for help, but Elder Guo had noticed the change in his face a long time ago, his eyes quickened his acupoints, and immediately he could only make a strange-looking gesture to Huo Xiao who was outside the boat. The look of missing.

Huo Xiao stood on the shore, looking at the people in the boat, expressionless.

Qu Ning and Elder Guo came out smiling and cupped their hands: "I just talked about the prince with Mr. Wenren just now, and the prince has arrived. The two of you really have a good understanding."

Huo Xiao frowned: "What did he say about me?"

Elder Guo suddenly smiled: "Oh, how dare I, an old man, have the nerve to say that!"

……

Wen Renhuang heard it from afar, so what did he say to embarrass that old monster?

Huo Xiao smiled deeply, and Elder Guo's heart trembled when he saw it: "Why didn't he come out?"

Qu Ning closed his folding fan, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "Master Luan would like to invite His Royal Highness Duan Wang and Mr. Wenren to the Luan Hall."

Huo Xiao only looked at Fang Nei, who was staring at Wen Renhuang, and said in a deep voice, "Qu Ning, you have to know that even if this king is injured, you two are just clowns, don't try to make any big noises. .”

The faces of both of them froze for a moment. Before they could speak, Huo Xiao had already strode into the boat and threw the burden on Wen Renhuang to Wen Renhuang. eyeball.

Wen Renhuang saw that he was wearing an old gray coarse cloth, he seemed to have seen it somewhere before, he thought about it, and looked at Huo Xiao with a bit of disgust.

Huo Xiao's complexion darkened, he turned around and said to Qu Ning who came in casually: "Prepare clothes for me, I want to take a bath." He temporarily decided not to unlock his acupoints.
