cold branch low

Ever since Huo Xiao knew that the old general's attack was not that simple, he never went to court again. He claimed that he hadn't lived in the capital all year round and fell ill for a while.

Wen Renhuang hadn't left the room since reading Huo Xiao's letter to him. Huo Ting thought that there was a big conflict between the two, and he was a little happy.

Actually not.

Wen Renhuang tremblingly held the letter paper again, there were very few words on it, and the words were heart-wrenching——

"Believers, kill."

He remembered that when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that night, the crow asked him with a smile if he had read the letter. At that time, he could only say that he had lost the letter and hadn't read it. He didn't know whether the crow believed it or not. over him.

The crow asked him to give the letter to the vulture, that is to say, the crow asked him to hand over the killing order to the vulture, so that he could lead him to death himself.If it hadn't been for meeting Huo Xiao halfway and going wrong along the way, perhaps he would already be a pile of dead bones now.

But he couldn't figure it out, the first time he went down to Qihuang Mountain, and the first time he saw Senior Crow, why did he attract the murderous intent of the other party?He vaguely remembered that night in the Ningshuang Building, when he heard the crow shouting outside the building, he was still pleasantly surprised for a moment. What he thought was that they were both from Qihuang Mountain, so they were safer than Huo Xiaolai. some.

Then think of Feng Tian's surprise when he called out his name in front of the carriage at the back door.

He pursed his lips, maybe he didn't want to think too much.

The residence that Huo Xiao arranged for him is very close to Huo Xiao's bedroom, only need to go through a wall.It was already very cold in the early morning of late autumn, he opened the window, a gust of cold wind blew in, and closed his clothes in the cold, it was just dawn.

The General's Mansion has always been quiet, whether it is morning or evening.Huo Xiao is a quiet person, he never puts too many maids in the mansion, no matter it is Ning'an's Duan Wang Mansion or here, if he asked him why, he dismissed Wen Renhuang with just a word of annoyance.What a boring person, Wen Renhuang curled his lips, only when he was busy and lively.

But it was such a troublesome Duan Wang who was indifferent to everything and pulled himself out of the Jedi again and again.

For the first time in Hei Luan's sub-helm, I was stripped of my shirt, and when I looked up and saw Duan Wang's indifferent eyes, I was still amazed in my heart how could there be such a bold and handsome person. I really don't know what it is to have a relationship with him.

But after getting along for such a long time, he has never felt how much this prince cares about fame, fortune and money. On the contrary, Prince Duan relies more on the word "loyalty" in his actions. I never went to see him again, I don't know if his loyalty to Emperor Longbao has diminished now.

Just as he was thinking about going to greet Huo Xiao in the morning after not going out for so long, he saw Huo Xiao walking outside in a black robe embroidered with clouds, his long black hair was casually tied up with a hairpin. Merry.If he wasn't followed by the old butler with a stiffer complexion than him, the scenery at this time would be very eye-catching.

Huo Xiao seemed to feel his gaze, turned around slightly, and made a gesture of waving to him.

Huo Ting, you old housekeeper, don't stand behind your master and stare at the young master!

Wen Renhuang roared in his heart, and then dashed towards Huo Xiao.

"My lord is auspicious!" He smiled vigorously at Huo Xiao, and Huo Xiao said expressionlessly, "Why was it not auspicious a few days ago?"

"Because a few days ago I was afraid that my sad atmosphere would make the prince feel unlucky." Zuo said sadly.

Huo Xiao looked at him for a while, then said in a low voice: "This king has said, you stay by my side, no one can touch you."

Wen Renhuang felt hot in his ears.

"My lord, where are you going so early in the morning?" He changed the subject and asked.

Huo Xiao frowned: "Ruan Mansion."

Nguyen House?Ruan Zhengze?Ruan Lian? !

"My lord, are you going to come to propose marriage!" He jumped several meters away in horror, thinking aggrievedly at the same time that you are wearing such a good-looking dress today to propose marriage!

The old housekeeper's eyes were almost bursting with anger.

"It's too soon," Huo Xiao said lightly, "At least go and see first, who is Ruan Lian?"

"But, my lord, aren't you feeling unwell and recuperating at home?" He asked with difficulty.

"Go there sick to show your sincerity." Huo Xiao replied.

"..."

Wen Renhuang felt a little aggrieved, and he couldn't say exactly where he was aggrieved: "Can I go together, yes... By the way, let's see if she and Ruan Zhengqing are related."

Wen Renhuang, who finally found an excuse for himself to follow, complacently followed behind Huo Xiao.

The corners of Huo Xiao's mouth, who had his back turned to Wen Renhuang, rose imperceptibly.

Huo Ting chose to ignore Wen Renhuang's chattering follow all the way, and the three of them walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion only to see Shen Chen already waiting at the gate. A long convoy.

Even Shen Chen was dressed in casual clothes, he looked much more handsome than the usual lifeless bodyguard outfit, he was slightly stunned when he saw that Ren Huang was following behind, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Wenren is also with you? "

Wen Renhuang was blinded by his sudden transformation, before he recovered, he replied sullenly: "Are you allowed to see the beauties? I want to see them too."

Shen Chen laughed so hard that he leaned against the side of the sedan chair, Huo Xiao said lightly: "Shen Chen, you are responsible for the safety of good people along the road, just sit in the carriage and don't let him show his face."

Everyone was stunned.

"My lord, are you... wanting to hide my golden house!" Wenren Huang said indiscriminately in shock, with a shy expression on his face.

"Why does the prince do this?" Huo Ting finally couldn't help asking.

Huo Xiao took the greeting card from the old housekeeper, and said calmly: "The capital is not peaceful recently."

As soon as this sentence came out, Wen Renhuang and Shen Chen immediately knew what it meant.

After all, Wen Renhuang is from Qihuang Mountain, and now the two factions in the capital are still in harmony on the surface, but in fact they are already at war with each other. If the court or Qihuang Mountain sees him and Huo Xiao walking together, it must be no good result.

And he himself knew in his heart that he had torn half of his face with Feng Tian, ​​and he hadn't greeted him after being missing for so long. If Feng Tian knew that he had stayed by Huo Xiao's side, he probably wouldn't be able to tell. up.

So the three of them got into the sedan chair and left the palace smoothly.

Wen Renhuang could see through the window that there were already many people on the street, and the team was mighty and unpretentious, so that at night, the news that King Duan went to see Miss Ruan's family should spread throughout Daqi Alright.

But it didn't go as they expected. As soon as the team arrived at the gate of Ruan's Mansion, Ruan Zhengze came out to greet him when he heard the news. He didn't have much joy on his face, and there was even a trace of horror on his face.

"Minister Ruan Zhengze, pay homage to the prince!"

Wen Renhuang sat in the sedan chair and thought, he must be kneeling down again with the utmost sincerity.

Huo Xiao obviously had seen the big world, so he sat still in the sedan chair and said, "It's too polite to go out to greet Master Ruan in person before handing over the invitation to the king."

Ruan Zhengze even wanted to die. In the past, he wanted the prince to take a fancy to his sister, but now...

"My lord, my lord, don't say that..." He said with trembling lips, not knowing how to tell King Duan the pain in his heart.

Shen Chen became impatient, got out of the car and said: "Lord Ruan, I am Shen Chen, the bodyguard with a knife in front of the fourth-rank emperor. I have come to pick up Miss Ruan Lian and go to the Yuhua Building for a gathering at the order of the prince." Ruan Zhengze was only a fourth-rank official, so he naturally didn't have to be too polite.

Wen Renhuang was speechless for a moment, looking up at Huo Xiao, there was no abnormality on his face, thinking that the master and servant are really simple and rude, and you invited her so unpreparedly before the girl came out of the court, even though he didn't I understand what the process should be, but this is really a bit wrong...

When Ruan Zhengze heard this, he wanted to cry even more. Before he could say anything with trembling lips, Shen Chen had already seen that his expression was wrong, and immediately said with a serious expression: "Master Ruan, can I let Miss Ruan come out first?"

Wen Renhuang almost spit out another mouthful of blood, Guard Shen, why are you so powerful, and then looked at Huo Xiao with a calm expression, as if the two had already communicated with each other tacitly and finished the dialogue in front of them.

"Go back to your lord, I'm an official, I'm going to ask my younger sister to come out now!"

Seeing that Ruan Zhengze couldn't bear it, he could only throw out this sentence, leaving Shen Chen behind and running back to the mansion.

"My lord." Wen Renhuang called hesitantly.

Huo Xiao closed his eyes in the sedan chair like they were traveling together for the first time, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Even if you invite Miss Ruan to travel, it's...too reckless, right?" He still thought about his words.

Huo Xiao slightly raised the corner of his mouth, with a half-smile, "Why invite someone who is not in the mansion at all, so why think too much about it."

Wen Renhuang couldn't figure it out: "Not in the mansion?"

Huo Xiao opened his eyes, glanced at him lightly, and said, "If you don't believe me, just wait until Ruan Zhengze comes out, it must mean that his sister is unwell today and it is inconvenient for her to travel."

Wen Renhuang was skeptical, and secretly lifted the curtain at a corner of the window eaves to observe.

After a while, Ruan Zhengze ran out out of breath, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, Mr. Shen, it's just a coincidence that my younger sister is not feeling well today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the lord."

Wen Renhuang burst out laughing on the spot in the sedan chair.

Huo Xiao saw that his eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled, and his eyes softened a little.

Shen Chen didn't seem to expect it, but his eyes widened in an instant: "What, it's not too early or too late, but why did you feel unwell when the prince invited you?"

Ruan Zhengze's legs were trembling anxiously, the prince naturally did not dare to disobey him, but the current situation really cannot be controlled by him.

"Shen Chen, don't panic." Seeing that it was almost done, Huo Xiao opened the curtain and leaned out and said, "Lord Ruan, can you tell Miss Ruan how unwell, so that I can send some medicine over here."

Ruan Zhengze looked up and saw Huo Xiao's extremely handsome appearance, his heart was even more bitter. It seems that the prince spent a lot of time dressing up today, but this happened to him!

He hurriedly said: "Go back to your lord, Sister She just caught the cold while enjoying the flowers in the courtyard last night, and now she is recuperating in the house, it's okay!"

Huo Xiao said lightly: "Since it doesn't get in the way, why not let her come to Yuhua Building to cultivate, the king will naturally take good care of her."

Ruan Zhengze didn't expect that Prince Duan would be so persistent. It was so different from the usual indifference of other people's comments: "My lord, this can't be done! Recently, my lord has been acclimatized at home. What should I do?"

"Fighting poison with poison may be beneficial." Huo Xiao said seriously.

Wen Renhuang huddled in the corner laughing and trembling all over, he just realized now that Huo Xiao's mouth is still very useful when he is not facing him.

Ruan Zhengze really had nothing to say, he stretched his neck and said exhaustedly: "My lord is so loving, I... am very grateful."

Huo Xiao was very polite: "Your Majesty Ruan, you don't have to be grateful, it's not you that this king loves so much."

"..."

Seeing that he couldn't continue acting, Ruan Zhengze was about to speak, but Huo Xiao sighed and said: "Forget it, since Miss Ruan is so inconvenient, then I don't want to force others to make things difficult for me, so as not to be abrupt."

This is simply a situation where there is no way out, and there is another village!

Ruan Zhengze quickly changed his words, with a moved expression on his face: "Thank you for your understanding, my sister will come to the door to apologize to the prince if she is in good health in the future!"

Huo Xiao waved his hand, got out and sat back in the sedan chair.

"My lord, you are really..." Wen Renhuang admired.

"What's wrong with me?" Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"High...!" Thumbs up.
