Chapter 832

The setting sun is like blood, and the sky is full of rays. The fiery cloud enveloped the western sky, like a colorful watercolor painting.

Huo Changqing was boxing in the yard, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, as if he was wearing a golden armor.

After a set of punches, Huo Changqing's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his clothes were soaked. Looking at Xu Wu, Huo Changqing asked, "What's the matter?" He said while walking towards the house.

Xu Wu said: "My lord has a letter for my adoptive father."

After entering the room, Huo Changqing wiped his hands dry before accepting the letter. After reading it, Huo Changqing's complexion was a bit complicated.

Xu Wu hurriedly asked: "Father, what's the matter?" The prince should not say anything difficult to the father.

Huo Changqing put the letter on the table next to him, and said, "Yunqing wants outsiders to think that the black widow is my daughter." The black widow was saved by him, and he also cultivated it. But the nickname Black Widow was chosen by herself, and no one knows the reason.

Xu Wu groaned, and said with a puzzled expression, "Why did the lord do this?" Well done, let the adoptive father recognize the black widow as his daughter.

Huo Changqing is an old man, so how can he not see Yun Qing's intentions: "You should also know that before Han Yuxi ordered not to allow a grain of grain to flow out, otherwise she will be killed. Now she wants to use two million stones of grain to redeem people. If there is no one There are sufficient reasons for the prestige of the Han family to be greatly damaged. But if it is my daughter who redeemed, then this matter has nothing to do with the Han family." After finishing speaking, Huo Changqing couldn't help laughing: "For the sake of the Han family, Yun Qing It was really hard work.”

Xu Wu weakly defended Yun Qing: "Father, the prince is also for the overall situation. After all, the prestige of the princess is damaged, which is not conducive to the stability of the overall situation."

Huo Changqing turned to look at Xu Wu, and asked, "You also want me to recognize this daughter?"

Xu Wu was also very conflicted: "Father, why don't you discuss it with the princess, let's find a way to get the best of both worlds."

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "There's no way in this world to have the best of both worlds. If there is, Yunqing won't hit me with ideas."

After a pause, Huo Changqing said helplessly, "Forget it, it's for Ah Hao and Zao Zao!"

Yuxi was crumpled while reviewing in the room, and when the guard said that Huo Changqing was asking for an audience, she hurriedly got up and went to the door to meet him.

After entering the study, Huo Changqing said: "I'm going to do a full set of acting, I want to pick up the black widow myself."

Yu Xi was a little puzzled: "What is a full set of drama? What kind of drama?" Yun Qing didn't tell Yu Xi about it because he didn't get a reply from Huo Changqing.

It is said that when you have a daughter-in-law, you forget your mother. Although he is not Yunqing's mother, he was the one who taught Yunqing out. Now because of Han Yuxi, Yunqing came to cheat him, Huo Changqing really felt bad: "Yunqing said two million shi grains to redeem the black widow, outsiders don't know why it will damage your prestige, so he came up with a bad idea, Tell the outside world that the black widow is my daughter. In this way, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Yuxi opened her eyes wide, seeing that Huo Changqing didn't seem to be joking, she said helplessly: "Uncle Huo, I don't know about this matter. Otherwise, I will definitely stop him." Yuxi was aware of the dangers that would arise, so she was also prepared.

Hearing this, Huo Changqing felt a little more at ease, and said, "Although Yunqing intends to protect you, this method can indeed avoid future troubles."

Seeing that Yuxi was about to speak, Huo Changqing waved his hand and said, "I'll go to Yingzhou to pick her up tomorrow." Since it was said to be his daughter, he naturally wanted to pick her up in person.

Yuxi's mind was spinning quickly, and it was beneficial for Huo Changqing to face her. In addition, Huo Changqing is very familiar with the black widow, and if he goes, he is not afraid of Yan Wushuang giving a fake. Weighing the pros and cons, Yuxi said: "Uncle Huo's trip to Yingzhou this time must be kept secret, and no one else will know.

Otherwise, I'm worried that Yan Wushuang will make more progress. "If Yan Wushuang got the news, he would definitely put forward conditions.

Huo Changqing didn't refuse, and said: "Then I'll go to Yingzhou in disguise." I haven't gone out for a long time, so this time I went to Yingzhou to relax.

Yuxi said with a face of shame: "Uncle Huo should take care of himself at such an old age, but now he wants you to work hard, it's my fault with Yunqing."

Huo Changqing looked at Yuxi and said, "As long as your husband and wife can always be harmonious and beautiful, I'll be happy if I work harder." Some time ago, the husband and wife had conflicts, which made him worry about it for a long time.

Yu Xi blushed and said, "It won't happen in the future."

Huo Changqing hummed and said, "I believe it." Seeing that Yunqing even tricked him because of the Han family now, he knew that the husband and wife would no longer have conflicts.

Yu Xi quickly regained her composure, and said, "Uncle Huo, do you want to adopt a child to inherit the Huo family's incense?" Regarding Huo Changqing's life experience, it is not very clear whether Yu Xi is Yun Qing.

Huo Changqing waved his hand and said, "No need." People die like a lamp going out, and Huo Changqing doesn't pay much attention to the inheritance of incense.

I am also grateful for Huo Changqing's appearance this time, otherwise Yu Xi would not bother with such nosy matters. Seeing Huo Changqing's refusal, Yuxi didn't say anything more.

When eating dinner, Liu'er looked at Yu Xi's happy face, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, did Dad win the battle?" Otherwise, why would her mother be so happy.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No." A few days ago, Guangxi lost a battle. As for Yunnan, because Yunqing has just arrived, it will take some time before the war starts.

Brother Rui explained his guess: "So the eldest sister has been promoted again?"

Yuxi still smiled and shook her head and said, "No." Yuxi had already written to Du Zheng to ask him to press the date, so that the girl would not rise too fast. Letting her out now is mainly for exercise, and there will be opportunities for military service and promotion in the future.

Brother Hao hurriedly said: "Mother, what good thing is that? Tell us to make us happy too."

Yuxi smiled and shook her head and said, "You can't say it." It's also not easy to tell the child about this, and it can't be said that Yunqing dragged Huo Changqing into the water to protect her.

Brother Yu suddenly understood: "Mother, this can't be another secret between you and father, right?" Anyway, there are many secrets between father and mother, and this one is not missing.

Yuxi said with a smile on her face: "It's right this time. This is a secret between me and your father, I can't tell you." After saying this, she said to the five people: "It's time to eat."

Yuxi's smiling face, not to mention the five siblings, even the whole mother is a little curious: "Princess, what is the happy event?" She has been with Yuxi for so many years, and it is the first time she sees Yuxi so happy .

There was nothing to hide from Sister Quan, Yuxi told what Yunqing had done. After finishing speaking, Yu Xi smiled and said: "He Rui really exceeded my expectations this time." Although she was not afraid of everyone's criticism, Yun Qing's protection this time made Yu Xi feel sweet.

After hearing this, Quan Momo felt a little emotional: "My lord finally knows to take the initiative to share the burden for you for your sake, and it is indeed something to be happy about." This shows that Yunqing really puts Yuxi in his heart.

Yuxi said with a smile: "Although it was a little late, it finally arrived."

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Huo Changqing set off on the second night, and said to the outside world that he was going to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.

Xu Wu sent Huo Changqing away and returned to his home. After washing up, he first went to see Xu Chengze, then returned to the main courtyard, and made his youngest son Chenghong cry before giving up.

Ling Shi was funny and angry, and after coaxing the child, she said to Xu Wu: "You are really good enough to be a father. Every time you come back, you will make Hong'er cry."

Xu Wu smiled and asked his grandmother to take the child down, and then told Ling Shi one thing: "The princess said that next year, she will choose a companion for the second young master and the others, and asked which young master I want Cheng Ze to follow." Only a few people know about Brother Rui's triplets' selection of companions. It's also the same, Xu Wucai will tell Ling Shi about this now.

Regarding his son's future, how could Ling not care: "Master, then who do you want Ze'er to be with?" It is the best future to follow the son, but the son is much younger than the son, and has already lost his chance. As for the three young masters below, Ling didn't know their details, so Xu Wu had to make up his mind on this matter.

Xu Wu has been struggling with this matter these days: "The second young master is good at martial arts, and his ambition is to become a general; the third young master is good at writing, and his ambition is to become a university student. As for the fourth young master, he has not yet determined his sex..."

Ling asked: "Does the master want Ze'er to be with the second young master?" After being married for many years, Ling also knew Xu Wu a little bit. In Xu Wu's mind, he also wanted his son to join the martial arts.

Xu Wu said: "The smartest of the triplets is the fourth young master, but the fourth young master is unruly, and there is no telling what future he will have in the future." Brother Xuan was the first to rule out, Xu Wu would not let his son Congwen, So what he was struggling with was whether to let his son follow Brother Rui or Brother Yu.

Ling thought for a while and said, "Which one of the second young master or the fourth young master is closer to the eldest son?"

Xu Wu understood what Ling's words meant, and shook his head: "My son treats the triplets equally, and they are very close." It means that the brotherhood is very good.

Ling Shi didn't know how to make a choice now: "Anyway, there is still more than half a year, let's think about it slowly."

Xu Wu hummed and said, "It has to be like this."

Han Jianming sent the raised grain to Xiayi. Such a large amount of food was sent to Xiayi, and the whereabouts could not be hidden at all. Those who got the news were wondering if they were planning to attack Shandong.

The general guarding Xiayi is Lu Fei. He got a letter from Yunqing to know the purpose of this batch of grain. So when the first batch of grain arrived in Xiayi, he did not put it in the warehouse, but found a large civilian granary to store it.

Knowing this situation, Zhao Buwei asked Lu Fei, "General, why didn't you put the grain in the army warehouse?" He felt that the purpose of this batch of grain was not like preparing for the attack on Shandong.

Lu Fei glanced at Zhao Buwei and said, "This is not something you should ask about." Before the transaction, he did not dare to disclose the purpose of this batch of grain.

Zhao Buwei was not stupid. He knew there was a problem when he heard this: "Isn't the food being sent to Xiayi to prepare for the attack on Shandong? Is this batch of food going to the capital?"

Lu Fei said with a displeased face: "I told you, this is not something you should ask about."

Zhao Buwei held back his breath and said: "General, if this food is really given to the imperial court, it is tantamount to weakening your own strength and a powerful enemy. General, you must stop it."

Hearing this, Lu Fei said with a cold face: "Zhao Buwei, it's not up to you or me to decide what the prince wants to do. You were not punished last time. If you dare to act impulsively again this time, don't blame me." Don't miss the affection from the past."

Seeing that Zhao Buwei still wanted to speak, Lu Fei said coldly, "Get out." Although Zhao Buwei is a mighty fighter, it is also a headache to commit a bully.

Even though Zhao Buwei was unwilling, he didn't dare to make mistakes in front of the furious Lu Fei. The others were not as impulsive as Zhao Buwei, and they were still waiting and watching. After all, the food is still in Xiayi and has not been sent out of the country.

In early July, Huo Changqing arrived in Xiayi. But he didn't show up, but hid in a private house. A few days later, the black widow also arrived in Yingzhou under the escort of Yan Shaoqiu.

It was Lu Fei who came forward to make the deal, there was no other way, this was Yun Qing's order, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to.

It was also during the transaction between the two parties that Huo Changqing showed up. Firstly, it is to verify the integrity of Yan Wushuang so that Yan Wushuang will not make a fake, and secondly, it is also to let everyone know the identity of the black widow.

Although it was Yan Wushuang who proposed to exchange the black widow for food, it was impossible for him to return a complete person. Now the black widow is not only scarred all over her body, but also has broken tendons in her hands and hamstrings. If it weren't for the black widow's strong vitality, she would have died a long time ago.

Huo Changqing reached out and touched the forehead of the black widow, and said softly: "Yan'er, you have suffered."

The black widow, who had only half life left, looked like she had seen a ghost when she heard Huo Changqing's words. Every time I saw Huo Changqing in the past, I always looked like a cold stranger, when did I ever feel so warm. Also, what the hell is Yan'er. However, the black widow's mind turned quickly, and she didn't raise any doubts in her heart, but said with a guilty look: "It's nothing for me to suffer, it's just that I hurt the princess." With two million stones of grain in exchange for her, the princess would have to bear a lot It's stressful.

Seeing this, Lu Fei asked in a low voice, "Master, are you right?" He didn't know the identity of the black widow, and Huo Changqing didn't say so. Some things are better for everyone to guess than to say directly.

The black widow was trained by Huo Changqing, and he could tell if it was real or not. Huo Changqing nodded and said, "You're right, it's Yan'er."

500,000 shi of grain has already been sent, and now it is confirmed that the person is correct, and the remaining 1 million shi of grain will be sent out in the next few days.

Yan Shaoqiu looked at Huo Changqing not far away, and asked Huang An, the general guarding Yingzhou, "Do you know this old man?" Although Huo Changqing was famous, he lived in seclusion and not many people had seen him. Among the people on Yan Wushuang's side, very few people knew him.

Huang An shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. This person should come from Pickaxe City." Seeing how respectful Lu Fei was to the old man, this person must have a high status. If he is in Xiayi, it is impossible for him not to know.

Yan Shaoqiu said with some unease in his heart: "Send someone to find out the identity of this old man." (To be continued)
