Hengnan is windy
Chapter 1 When I arrived at the barracks, I saw the soldiers who stayed behind rushing around in a h
Also keep it. "
Huo Feng's words seemed both surprised and ridiculed.
"However, although this is not the first piece, it is the first piece I carved with a well-proportioned shape."
There was a vague worry in the clear eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
"By the way, Xing'er is getting married, and I have prepared a small gift." Huo Feng opened a drawer and took out a dark vermilion box.
"Oh? It's still a little heavy. What's inside?" Situ Hengnan weighed it.
"Nature is a secret." Huo Feng smiled slightly.
3 Spring is coming, and there are many outings in the suburbs, but no one dares to step into the circle of spring hunting.
Occasionally, some naughty children wanted to come in out of curiosity, but they were also scolded by adults.
No one dared to say anything about the eldest prince, but some rumors of ghosts were spread.
This is naturally an ordinary jungle, there are no ghosts and ghosts.
Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng were in the forest right now.Those grandstand furnishings from that year have long been cleaned up, and there are no special signs in the forest.
Situ Hengnan caressed a tree next to him, and said: "At that time, I made a bet with Chen Yu to win against the other, but I didn't want that to happen. Later, I was a little worried that he would be unhappy, especially the eldest prince. After disappearing."
"Up until now, did you just say you were missing?" Huo Feng asked softly.
Situ Hengnan looked into his eyes and said, "Yes."
"According to my memory, the attackers were well-prepared at that time. Although there were obvious signs of lurking, there were layers of defenses and a well-arranged rear route. If they were able to escape the search of the guards, there must be internal responses." Situ Hengnan Touching his chin, he thought carefully.
"Since there is an internal response, but Dali Temple has not found out...The biggest suspect is actually..." Huo Feng paused, and then the two said in unison: "Dali Temple."
As soon as the words fell, several short knives suddenly stabbed over.
"Zixin be careful!" Situ Hengnan pulled Huo Feng past him, avoiding the attack neatly.
But they are in the light, the assassins are in the dark, and they don't have any weapons on them.
So it's the best way to go.
The attackers were obviously not many in number, maybe three or four, but they all followed closely.
There were many hidden weapons along the way, but Huo Feng let go of Situ Hengnan's hand in an instant, took out some small weapons from his sleeves, and blocked those hidden weapons.
In an emergency, Situ Hengnan only had time to flash his surprise for a moment, and finally dragged Huo Feng to continue running.
One of them showed his figure and stabbed a dagger straight at Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan nimbly dodged several menacing attacks, and swept his leg neatly to hit the wrist of the visitor. The dagger fell out abruptly, and was caught by Situ Hengnan.
The other people threw a few more hidden weapons, making Situ Hengnan take a few steps back.Taking advantage of this gap, they picked up the man who had lost the dagger, and left in a hurry.
Situ Hengnan hurriedly approached Huo Feng and asked, "Zixin, are you alright?"
"It's okay." Huo Feng looked a little pale.
Situ Hengnan looked down at the dagger in his hand, and found that there was nothing special about it, it was just an ordinary dagger.
"This place has been sealed off for many years, and there are still people who come to assassinate, maybe..." Huo Feng raised his head with a worried expression on his face.
Situ Hengnan also understood, so he answered, "Someone is following us, or in other words, someone has been thinking about this case."
The two looked at each other and silently agreed with this point of view.
☆, wedding
1 The news of Situ Xing'er's wedding, the jewel in the General's Mansion, spread throughout the entire imperial city.
Although many people commented on the marriage between Situ Xing'er and Chen Xiaowei before, saying that the daughter of Situ's mansion was married, but this was not enough to affect the wedding ceremony bestowed by the Holy One.
Decorated with hairpins and rouge, Situ Xing'er looked at herself in the mirror, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Suddenly, a pair of hands gently caressed her shoulders.
"The beauty of the peach is shining brightly." The general's wife put on a gold bracelet for her daughter and murmured softly.
"My son is returning home, and it is suitable for his family." Situ Xing'er said to her, "My daughter will remember what mother said."
A few nights ago, the general's wife had talked a lot with her daughter, but now seeing her daughter Feng Guanxia in her body, a strong reluctance flooded her heart.I thought that the sadness in my heart should be what I had in the past few days, but I didn't expect that at this moment, it was the deepest love that spread.
It was silent for a while, until Cai'er walked to the door and said softly: "Madam, the time has come."
With the red hijab covering her view, Situ Xing'er, supported by her mother and Cai'er, stepped across the threshold.
The general's wife watched her daughter get into the sedan chair, and also saw Chen Ning nodding to her immediately, so she stopped.Situ Hengnan, who was protecting his relatives, also immediately said: "Mother, don't worry."
General Situ patted her on the shoulder, and the general's wife's tears fell.
General Situ put his wife in his arms and did not speak, but just watched the sedan chair and the party leave.
The commotion ended, and the General's Mansion returned to its former calm.
The general's wife also accepted the sorrow and was ready to go to the banquet later.
The reason why this big wedding is called a big wedding is not only because it was bestowed by the Holy One, but also because important officials from all parties will bring their families to drink a cup of wedding wine, which can be regarded as giving General Situ a face.
Under the noisy and hot scene, Situ Hengnan was a little silent.
The last raid made him tense again. In the past two months, he had to send additional defense troops to Huo Feng's temporary residence.Because of regular military training and the marriage between Xing'er and Chen Ning, he rarely met Huo Feng. At the same time, his father seemed to have noticed that he often went out, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble to Huo Feng.
The pretense of working for Prince Chenyu has been played for a long time.He also reported to Chen Yu about the last raid, and Chen Yu was also planning to investigate Dali Temple secretly.
Today, I originally thought that Huo Feng would also come, but unfortunately almost all the guests came, and there was no sign of him.
Situ Hengnan showed frustration, but after all, it was his sister's wedding, and he had to happily watch the wedding go through smoothly.
Putting on his smile again, Situ Hengnan and several other captains surrounded Chen Ning, ready to fill him up with wine.
"This... the groom is half-drunk, how can it be a wedding night!" Captain Zhou is the youngest among the captains, seeing that Chen Ning is not particularly good at drinking, he was drunk several times With wine, his face was red, and he was a little worried.
Captain Li, who was usually the roughest and unrestrained, laughed, and said to Captain Zhou, "You're not married yourself, so you'd be worried about other people's wedding night."
"This... this..." Captain Zhou was a little anxious.
"Old Li, look at you, I'm not drunk, stop and have a rest!" Lieutenant Lin took the wine cup from Li Xiaowei's hand and put it aside.
Captain Wu followed with a smile, but he didn't say anything witty.
Situ Hengnan originally watched them play with each other and thought it was very interesting, but seeing that Chen Ning couldn't resist, he helped pull Captain Li away and said, "Let's drink with me, Captain Li. I don't want my brother-in-law to be really drunk."
As he spoke, Situ Hengnan downed a small jar of wine in one gulp, which was a special mellow wine brewed in the Fuchu.
"Okay, the Major General is the most refreshing!" Li Xiaowei also picked up a jar of wine, touched Situ Hengnan, and after a few sips, it was a jar of fun.
Situ Hengnan saw Li Xiaowei drinking down, so he ordered someone to send him back.The other lieutenants also resigned.
He was still drinking alone.
It seems that one night when he was 16 years old, he was also so preoccupied.
2 In the morning after waking up from drunk, I always have a splitting headache.
The general's wife knew that her son was drunk, so she specially ordered someone to make a hangover soup for him to drink.
After the headache subsided a little, Situ Hengnan went out of the house and found his father standing there. Although his temple hair was slightly gray, his figure was still as vigorous as a pine tree.Because he was seriously injured in a battle, General Situ failed to hold out until the end of the battle, so he could only return to the city early to recuperate, and let Situ Hengnan temporarily take over the whole army as a major general.
After returning, Situ Hengnan also took over his father's position, reorganized the army, and properly compensated the families of the casualties.
Apart from asking his father some necessary questions, he actually didn't say much to his father.
It wasn't like that when I was a kid, everything changed after my grandmother was gone.
"Father." Situ Hengnan walked into the courtyard and called General Situ.
When General Situ heard this, he turned around with a peaceful expression on his face.
"Last night you were so drunk that you couldn't wake up, Shen Ke asked someone to send you back." General Situ said, and moved his lips again, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't continue.
"Ah? Then I have to thank Mr. Shen." Situ Hengnan scratched his head.This is to let parents say goodbye first, and then return by themselves.From this point of view, he really drank too much, he couldn't come back alone, and made a lot of noise.
General Situ seemed to let out a long breath, and then said: "Heng'er, do you know what you are still muttering in your sleep when you come back?"
Situ Hengnan stopped scratching his hair, startled.
"Heng'er..." Situ Hengnan didn't know what to say.
General Situ frowned slightly, but his tone was moderate: "I heard that Zixin came back with you?"
Situ Hengnan pursed his lips and said in silence for a while, "Father, Zixin didn't come back with me, but he helped me break the key."
"Understood." General Situ nodded, and then asked earnestly, "You're talking about Zixin..."
"Heng'er didn't!" Situ Hengnan hurriedly cut off General Situ's words.
"Look into Dad's eyes!" General Situ's voice was like a bell.Situ Hengnan raised his head and looked at General Situ.
"Heng'er has reached the crown, so she won't be so ignorant. I told my father earlier that His Royal Highness entrusted me and Zixin with something. Recently, we are investigating an important matter." Situ Hengnan explained in a deep voice. road.
"That's good." General Situ approached, coughed a few times uncontrollably, and patted Situ Hengnan on the shoulder, "Go ahead."
After General Situ coughed, he straightened his spine again and walked towards the other side with steady steps.
Situ Hengnan raised his head and let out a heavy breath facing the blue sky.
☆, Guining
1 On the day when Situ Xinger returned to Ning, the weather was sunny and sunny, and the weather was the best in recent days.
Cai'er helped her get out of the carriage, and when she lifted the curtain, she found that her parents and elder brother had already been waiting there.
Situ Hengnan looked at his younger sister who had been lively for many years and was bouncing around with a purse on her back, and suddenly her long hair was coiled up, her demeanor became a little more dignified, and she also felt something indescribable in her heart.
"Father, mother, brother."
Situ Xing'er called out loudly, then went over and threw herself into the arms of the general's wife.
We only parted for a few days, and besides, Situ Xing'er was still very free and could come back whenever she wanted, so the general's wife was not so reluctant.
The general's wife specially prepared a table of delicious dishes, and the family reunited for another meal.After the meal, Xing'er took Situ Hengnan to a pavilion in the mansion, looked around and said, "Brother, did you know that Brother Zixin also came that night?"
Situ Hengnan's heart trembled, but joy suddenly burst out in his heart.
"Really?" Situ Heng said subconsciously.
Seeing his appearance, Situ Xing'er couldn't help laughing.
But it seems that recalling the past, Xing'er's smile faded a bit, so she said: "Brother, brother Zixin only came for a while, and said that he still gave me his blessing in person. But it seems that he left because he saw that you were drunk. .”
"That's it." Situ Hengnan responded awkwardly after hearing this.
Situ Xing'er said again: "Brother Zixin seems to have something to look for you. A few days ago you went to reorganize the army, and he entrusted me with a letter."
Situ Hengnan nodded and said, "Then I'll go find him."
"En." Situ Xing'er replied.
"What did Zixin give you?" Situ Hengnan had long wanted to ask.
Myolie said mysteriously, "You come and guess."
Situ Hengnan clicked his tongue and said, "I've guessed many times. It's a bit heavy, so it can't be some kind of weapon?"
Situ Xing'er smiled and said, "Who would give a weapon to a wedding?"
"We are different." Situ Hengnan seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be laughing at himself.
"Actually, I don't know what to say, it should be considered a mechanism." Xing'er thought about it carefully, "It's very unique, it can be used as a jewelry box, and it can also be turned into a delicate peony flower by touching the parts. .”
"Oh? It's so amazing." Situ Hengnan listened, but his heart was covered with fog.
Zixin can not only manipulate hidden weapons, but also create mechanisms?
Seeing Situ Hengnan's complexion darken suddenly, Situ Xing'er noticed it, and asked worriedly, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Situ Hengnan's complexion turned bright, "I still have things to do. After a while, my brother will come to see you at the house."
Situ Hengnan patted Xing'er on the shoulder.
2 In the several battles to regain the northern soil, the army lost many martyrs.
Situ Hengnan wrote down their names one by one on the scroll, and then checked one by one whether their families had been appeased and compensated.
Every stroke is full of bitterness.
The word "peace" is really too heavy.
Slightly closing his eyes, it seemed that the sky was filled with sand and dust, and there was blood on the blade.
It wasn't until the right eyelid twitched a few times that Situ Hengnan opened his eyes.
Putting down the pen and slowly closing the scroll, Situ Hengnan let out a long sigh of relief.
She closed her eyes slightly, but someone knocked on the door.
"General, it's me." A loud voice came from outside the door.
"Captain Wu?" Situ Hengnan stood up and opened the door.
Seeing that Captain Wu seemed to be still panting, and his face was a little flustered, Situ Hengnan missed a beat in his heart and asked, "What's wrong?"
Captain Wu said: "I just heard the news that Mr. Shen found the evidence that Mr. Huo is a spy of the Northern Tu nationality and presented it to Dali Temple. Dali Temple immediately sent someone to take Mr. Huo away."
Situ Hengnan turned cold: "Mr. Shen? Shen Ke?"
Captain Wu nodded and gave a heavy "hmm".
"Where is Mr. Huo now?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"It should be in Dali Temple. It is being interrogated. Major General, don't worry too much. Lieutenant Li, Zhou Xiaowei, and Lin Xiaowei are all hearing the trial."
"You follow me into the palace." As soon as Situ Hengnan's words fell, Captain Wu replied "Yes", and then the two hurried to Dali Temple with their horses ready.
"What evidence did Shen Ke find?" Situ Hengnan asked Xiaowei Wu while walking quickly.
Captain Wu replied: "It is said that the pawn who kidnapped Mr. Huo in the army was caught by Mr. Shen and accused Mr. Huo."
"How did you say it?"
"I don't know the details, but the guards you sent, Major General, told me."
"You go to the prince and ask him to come to Dali Temple."
The door plaque of Dali Temple has come into view, and the guard at the door did not change his face when he saw a token shown by Situ Hengnan, but said coldly: "General Situ, Dali Temple is interrogating important prisoners. It will not be released to the outside world, please understand."
"Fu Siqing should be clear that regarding matters in the military, my leading major general should also have the right to hear the hearing."
Situ Heng Nan stroked the scabbard around his waist.
"General Situ, there is a written rule in Dali Temple: the prisoner's blood relatives and people acquainted with the prisoner are not allowed to participate in the trial process. The minister of the temple has specifically explained this. If the case goes to trial, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for judgment. General Situ is free to raise objections to the result."
The guards did not move an inch, which means they are determined not to let them go.
Situ Hengnan wanted to let go of the scabbard, but a calm and steady voice came from behind: "Mr. Situ."
Situ Hengnan withdrew his hand and turned around to see who was coming.
"Bachelor of Arts."
The document that is currently in charge of the position of a bachelor, written in ink, stands upright, revealing a natural stability.
Situ Hengnan knew about this person when he was young, but he was not very familiar with him.At Situ Xing'er's wedding, the Bachelor of Arts also gave a generous gift, and they met not long ago.
"Why did Mr. Situ come to Dali Temple?"
The voice of the Bachelor of Arts was calm, neither like a cross-examination nor a greeting.
This person is not only a portrayal of a poetic and literary spirit, but also a cold air that strangers should not get close to.
Seeing that Situ Hengnan didn't reply for a while, and the scholar of letters was not in a hurry, he said slowly: "Mr. Fu, living in peace in the palace, today I wanted to find a few files, so I passed by this Dali Temple and saw Mr. Situ."
After a short pause, the Bachelor of Arts turned to the guard guarding the gate and said, "I saw Second Master Shen just now. Could it be that there is some important case? If someone acquainted with the prisoner is not allowed to participate in the trial, why is Second Master Shen also present?"
The cold-faced guard didn't change his face, and said: "Second Master Shen is the one who provided the evidence, so he will naturally participate in the trial."
After hearing this, Situ Hengnan knew that the documents were intended to help, so he took the words and said to the cold-faced guard: "Mr. As for the evidence, I have different evidence from Mr. Shen, may I submit it to Minister Fu Si?"
The cold-faced guard froze, knowing that Situ Hengnan would not give up, and with the help of a Bachelor of Arts, most likely the crown prince would also visit Dali Temple in person.
After thinking about it, the cold-faced guard had no choice but to ask another guard to go in and report.
After a long while, the door of Dali Temple opened slowly, and Situ Hengnan said "thank you" softly to the document before hurriedly entering Dali Temple.
3 Dali Temple is located in a secluded part of the palace, but it is not small in scale, surrounded by high walls, and the aura of splendor permeates every corner.
After entering the main hall, the guard notified Fu Siqing before retreating.
Huo Feng knelt on the ground, but his figure stood upright as before.In front of him was Fu Siqing who was the presiding judge, the officials who recorded the testimony, and two adults from the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Several guards stood guard on both sides.On the sidelines were the captains and Shen Ke who provided evidence.
The one who was tremblingly giving testimony was the pawn who disappeared when Huo Feng was taken away.
Situ Hengnan bowed respectfully to Fu Min. The soldier looked sideways, saw Situ Hengnan, and said with some fear, "Young... Major General..."
Situ Hengnan always remembered this pawn. Although he didn't know his name at first, he knew that this person was a pawn who had cleaned the stables.
People in the army, including him, finally checked the roster and decided that this small soldier was a spy. It was only after that that he knew that his name was Han Hui. He had basically never participated in any battles. chores.
Seeing Han Hui stammering at this time, Situ Hengnan was puzzled: Is this kind of person really a spy from the North who has been lurking in the army for a long time?
Shen Ke didn't even lift his eyelids, thinking about it, he also expected Situ Hengnan's arrival.
Fu Min simply motioned Situ Hengnan to sit aside and listen to the trial, and Situ Hengnan sat down.
"Han Hui, follow up with what you just said." Fu Min's calm yet majestic voice fell, and Han Hui stammered a few more words before explaining what he knew fluently.
Han Hui said: "Little one, I was just talking about that day when I suddenly saw someone in the army talking to Mr. Huo in the stable, but I didn't know who it was. The man mentioned Beitu and said that he was behind Beitu. After a long time with Mr. Huo, the little one continued to listen. Maybe it was because the little one accidentally made some noises, and suddenly someone...someone hit me on the back of the neck with gravity, and the little one didn't know anything afterwards. When the younger one woke up later, he was only in a partial tent, and the surroundings were very dark. There were words that the younger one couldn't understand outside the tent. Later, the major general came to rescue Mr. Huo, and the younger one knew that he was in the Beitu army camp. Just took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
After Fu Min listened, he asked Huo Feng in a deep voice: "Huo Feng, have you been to Beitu before entering the military camp to offer advice?"
Huo Feng didn't change his face, and replied calmly: "Return to Siqing, Caomin lived in Beitu for a period of time before, more than two months."
Fu Min then asked: "The northern land has been in chaos recently, what have you been doing for the past two months?"
Huo Feng opened his mouth and said: "The grass people have stayed in the northern land before they know their formation."
"In that case, who was the person Han Hui mentioned talking to you?"
"The person Caomin was talking to was this soldier. It's just that this person himself said that he had stayed in Beitu, so he should have met once. So now Caomin guesses that this person will be able to disguise himself."
"Oh? It means that someone disguised himself as Han Hui, and this person is the one who kidnapped you?"
"If what this officer said is true, the grassroots will confirm this conjecture."
"The other pawns in the army said that Mr. Situ went to battle that day, Mr. Huo waited at the wind for a long time, and then disappeared. So where did Mr. Huo plan to go?"
"The grass people just went to the stables."
"Why do you want to go to the stables?"
"Siqing doesn't know, my horse has followed me for many years, so I naturally go to see it from time to time."
Fu Min tapped the armchair rhythmically with his fingers, no longer asking questions, but meditating.
After a long period of silence, the official who wrote the testimony whispered something in Fu Min's ear. Fu Min nodded, then turned to Situ Hengnan and said, "Mr. Situ, what evidence do you have to present?"
Situ Heng stood up and said: "Return to the Siqing, this is the blueprint left by Mr. Huo when he discussed the formation with me when he offered advice. Everyone in the army also knows that Mr. Huo broke the formation."
A subordinate official presented the blueprint, but Fu Min just glanced over it.
Suddenly, Shen Ke, who had been silent for a long time, sneered, and then slowly said: "The young general and Mr. Huo have a very close relationship, so naturally there is no doubt. It's just these things, how can you explain them?"
Two people stepped into the main hall carrying a big sack.With a shake of the sack, organs and hidden weapons, large and small, were scattered on the ground.
"Major General, do you know that these hidden weapons were created by Beitu?"
Situ Hengnan looked at something on the ground that he had never seen before, his face darkened, and he didn't say a word.
"Major General, you don't know where Mr. Huo has been in recent years, and you have fallen into a trap by rushing into the enemy camp and risking your own life."
Fu Min frowned when he saw the weapons, so he continued to ask: "Huo Feng, how do you explain these weapons?"
Huo Feng replied: "It is true that the mechanism principle came from Beitu, but these are all made by grassroots people."
Fu Min exchanged opinions with the other two chief judges, and then said in a deep voice: "The specific situation has yet to be verified, and it is impossible to determine whether you are innocent or not. Send an order to take Huo Feng to the Ministry of Punishment first."
☆, mist
1 A few days have passed since Huo Feng was interrogated.
After some twists and turns, several people confessed, and finally released on bail by the prince, Huo Feng was able to get out of prison safely as soon as possible.
During the few days when Huo Feng was in prison, Situ Hengnan was already in a hurry. If Chen Yu hadn't repeatedly reassured him, he would have rushed into the prison of the Ministry of Justice to rob him.
"Brother Nan, I already understand." Chen Yu still wanted to tease Situ Hengnan, "In these few years, you have not been impatient, but you are not normal to someone. He lost his temper, but he is always the one who can upset you."
"Thank you very much." Situ Hengnan couldn't be bothered.
Just now when Huo Feng came out, he saw him at a glance, but he didn't say anything.
Situ Hengnan's originally anxious heart finally calmed down a bit, but he had an indescribably complicated mood.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way.The relative silence seemed to echo a familiarity.
"you……"
"you……"
The halfway silence ushered in a unanimous voice.
"You trust me?" Huo Feng looked at Situ Hengnan with clear black eyes.
"letter."
Situ Hengnan didn't hesitate, but the bitterness seemed to overflow for no reason, and he didn't look directly into Huo Feng's eyes.
"Would you have believed me if two other pawns hadn't come forward to testify?"
It was at this moment that Situ Hengnan looked directly into Huo Feng's eyes, and it was at this moment that he understood the fear in his heart.
He is not afraid that Huo Feng will do unrighteous things, so he trusts him extremely, even if he has not seen him for a few years.But he was afraid that Huo Feng would hide something from him, and he was even more afraid that someone would hurt him.
God knows that when Shen Ke suddenly said that he had obtained some evidence, his heart suddenly tightened. He was not afraid that Huo Feng would lie to him, but that he would be injured.
If there were no two pawns who later testified that Mr. Huo had indeed gone to the stable and muttered to Chen Feng and Kai Feng, then the person who appeared to speak was Han Hui, and the stable was also the place where they saw Huo Feng for the last time. Feng's innocence is difficult to prove.
Even without those two pawns, he still believed in him.However, Han Hui's words still need to be considered.
"Zixin." Situ Hengnan took out a small celadon bottle from his pocket with one hand, and pulled Huo Feng's wrist with the other, "Of course I believe you."
Although it was just a few days, the handcuffs were cold and heavy, and Huo Feng's wrist was still slightly bruised for a week.
"Situ, no need." Huo Feng withdrew his hand, "Just trust me. It's just that there are some things I can't tell you now. Maybe in the future, I won't be able to..."
The silence seemed to return again, Situ Hengnan clenched his fist slightly, and finally pulled Huo Feng's wrist again, stubbornly applying medicine to those bruises.
"Last time, I wanted to tell you about the wedding banquet." Huo Feng didn't stop Situ Hengnan, but started to talk.
When Situ Hengnan heard about it, he replied, "Say it."
"I also went that day." Huo Feng seemed to remember something, and paused for a moment, "I saw two newcomers from the academy under the Bachelor of Arts also went to congratulate together."
"I know this. You continue to talk." Situ Hengnan finished applying the medicine and put away the porcelain bottle.
"One of them was a little weak in his wrist when toasting, so he toasted in a hurry and left. The figure of that person is indeed somewhat similar to the person who attacked the person whose dagger you discarded that day. Moreover, we were in danger that day, and the person's body There was actually some ink on the finger. It was just a few glances, and I can't confirm it."
"So, the Bachelor of Arts is also related to the First Prince's affairs?"
In Situ Hengnan's mind, the documents he encountered not long ago appeared, and he felt that there was nothing special about this great scholar.
"This is just a conjecture. But I have figured out one thing these two days." Huo Feng frowned again, "Actually, Jiang Luo was the one who kidnapped me in the barracks."
"Why do you say that?" Situ Hengnan recalled the Beitu army division who said something different.
"I stayed near the Beitu military camp for a while. Originally, I was going to lurk in, but my cousin Ling stopped me. In the end, it was cousin Ling who lurks into the barracks. My cousin told me about this military adviser, he Said that he has never seen the real face of the military division, but this military division seems to be everywhere. I have thought about it for a long time these days, a person can transform into thousands of faces, but the calmness and coldness of the speech, and the look in the eyes , but it gave me the feeling of Jiang Luo. Han Hui did not lie, I am sure that the person who spoke to me that day was not the real him."
Huo Feng lowered his eyes.
"But Dali Temple doesn't agree with your statement. Now...the imperial court is also looking for that northern military commander." Situ Hengnan thought of Han Hui who was still hanging in his voice, "Since he was wronged, then I will go Please forgive me."
"But you, just to break the formation, hid near the Beitu military camp for a long time?"
Situ Hengnan picked up on this important point.For the past two days, he tossed and turned at night, and finally decided to ask Huo Feng.
"Yes..." Huo Feng didn't look directly at Situ Hengnan, but his eyes accidentally collided, and the clarity of Situ Hengnan's eyes suddenly hit him, "...No."
"Forget it, Zixin, since there are some things that cannot be said now, let's not say them."
Situ Hengnan in front of him laughed.
"Young Master, we're here." The coachman reminded, and then the carriage stopped slowly, and finally stopped.
"Zixin," Situ Hengnan also got out of the car, "You have to protect yourself."
"Ah."
2 Two days later, Huo Feng received a letter from Fei Ge. After reading the contents, he let out a long sigh of relief when he learned that his cousin was safe.
It's almost summer, and the air is getting hotter and hotter, but there are a few times when the cold comes back, which makes people caught off guard.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door three times. When Huo Feng heard it, he looked through another small hole in the door wall to see who was coming, and finally opened the door.
"Brother Xiaofeng." It was Chen Ning who came.
"Ah Ning." Huo Feng smiled knowingly, "It's a shame that you couldn't congratulate in person on your big day."
Chen Ning hurriedly shook her head and said, "Brother Xiaofeng, what's the matter? But I heard that Xing'er said that you actually came that day, but you went back suddenly. Did someone over there speak coldly to each other while we were not paying attention?"
"No, I just found something useful." Huo Feng frowned again thinking of the injured bookboy.
But in fact that night, he wanted to immediately find Situ Hengnan who attended the wedding banquet, but he didn't want to meet Shen Ke first.
Shen Ke seemed to be slightly drunk, his face was a little flushed, and he held his forehead with one hand, but he was not unconscious, but when he walked towards him for a while, he still brushed Huo Feng's shoulder heavily.
"Huo Feng?" Shen Ke paused and dropped his brown sleeves.
"Mr. Shen." Huo Feng turned around respectfully and saluted.
"Sure enough, you still think that you are a part of Situ's Mansion." Shen Ke lowered his smile, "Unfortunately, Situ's Mansion can't tolerate you, Huo Feng."
Huo Feng pursed his lips lightly, without saying a word.
He knew that Situ's mansion would not tolerate him, because those people were talking gossip.And Situ Hengnan has not yet married, which further confirms those rumors.And are those really rumors?
He doesn't have a clear conscience.
"The biological mother of General Zhen Guo, Yipin Gaoming's wife, was disturbed by the rumors of her grandson, and she was unbearably worried. She passed away five years ago." Shen Ke seemed to be dizzy, and raised his hand up again, rubbing the center of his brows.
Huo Feng's heart felt cold for a while, his eyes widened in an instant, and he said, "Old lady..."
Madam, did you leave five years ago... because...
"Huo Feng, it's better for you... to stay farther away from Situ Hengnan." Shen Ke's eyes turned cold, and he left with a wave of his sleeves. No one saw the sadness in his eyes.
3 Huo Feng remembered what happened at the wedding banquet night, but felt that Shen Ke was drunk, otherwise he would not have called him and Situ Hengnan by their names.
"Brother Xiaofeng?" Seeing that he was distracted, Chen Ning called again.
Huo Feng came back to his senses, asked Chen Ning to come into the room to talk slowly, and asked, "What can you do with me?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. But the major general..." Chen Ning sat down, seeming to choose her words carefully.
"What happened to Situ?" Huo Feng asked Chen Ning nervously, remembering the people who had raided before.
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Ning immediately explained: "Brother Xiaofeng, you are thinking too much, the major general is fine, it's just that maybe, maybe, maybe, he's in a bad mood."
"The matter entrusted by the prince has made little progress." Huo Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but the matter about the eldest prince has always been a heavy stone in his heart.
Chen Ning suppressed her smile deliberately, and then said: "Uh...Maybe the Major General is also worried. Recently, the Major General asked us to find someone. The scope of the search includes the small towns and official roads around the imperial city. .”
"But the northern army, Jiang Luo?" Huo Feng said.
Chen Ning nodded, shook her head again, and said, "Yes, and no."
"You want to find Jiang Luo by finding the orphan of Beitu?" Huo Feng thought about it after hearing this, and then asked.
Chen Ning nodded, and said: "It seems that the major general and brother Xiaofeng also talked about it beforehand. Yes, we are looking for this orphan from Beitu."
Huo Feng murmured to himself: "A child was also involved in this chaos."
Seeing Huo Feng's downcast eyes, Chen Ning explained: "The Major General will not embarrass a child, even if the child is an orphan of Beitu. Although the Major General appears cold-faced and iron-blooded on the battlefield, he is very warm-hearted in private. Just like a real brother. Brother Xiaofeng, I always feel that the Major General has always been the 'Yunan', but because of the identity of the Major General, he is not so free and has become a little silent. However, after Brother Xiaofeng came back, The major general seems to be the one who came to the southwest to look for you again.
Huo Feng's words seemed both surprised and ridiculed.
"However, although this is not the first piece, it is the first piece I carved with a well-proportioned shape."
There was a vague worry in the clear eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
"By the way, Xing'er is getting married, and I have prepared a small gift." Huo Feng opened a drawer and took out a dark vermilion box.
"Oh? It's still a little heavy. What's inside?" Situ Hengnan weighed it.
"Nature is a secret." Huo Feng smiled slightly.
3 Spring is coming, and there are many outings in the suburbs, but no one dares to step into the circle of spring hunting.
Occasionally, some naughty children wanted to come in out of curiosity, but they were also scolded by adults.
No one dared to say anything about the eldest prince, but some rumors of ghosts were spread.
This is naturally an ordinary jungle, there are no ghosts and ghosts.
Situ Hengnan and Huo Feng were in the forest right now.Those grandstand furnishings from that year have long been cleaned up, and there are no special signs in the forest.
Situ Hengnan caressed a tree next to him, and said: "At that time, I made a bet with Chen Yu to win against the other, but I didn't want that to happen. Later, I was a little worried that he would be unhappy, especially the eldest prince. After disappearing."
"Up until now, did you just say you were missing?" Huo Feng asked softly.
Situ Hengnan looked into his eyes and said, "Yes."
"According to my memory, the attackers were well-prepared at that time. Although there were obvious signs of lurking, there were layers of defenses and a well-arranged rear route. If they were able to escape the search of the guards, there must be internal responses." Situ Hengnan Touching his chin, he thought carefully.
"Since there is an internal response, but Dali Temple has not found out...The biggest suspect is actually..." Huo Feng paused, and then the two said in unison: "Dali Temple."
As soon as the words fell, several short knives suddenly stabbed over.
"Zixin be careful!" Situ Hengnan pulled Huo Feng past him, avoiding the attack neatly.
But they are in the light, the assassins are in the dark, and they don't have any weapons on them.
So it's the best way to go.
The attackers were obviously not many in number, maybe three or four, but they all followed closely.
There were many hidden weapons along the way, but Huo Feng let go of Situ Hengnan's hand in an instant, took out some small weapons from his sleeves, and blocked those hidden weapons.
In an emergency, Situ Hengnan only had time to flash his surprise for a moment, and finally dragged Huo Feng to continue running.
One of them showed his figure and stabbed a dagger straight at Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan nimbly dodged several menacing attacks, and swept his leg neatly to hit the wrist of the visitor. The dagger fell out abruptly, and was caught by Situ Hengnan.
The other people threw a few more hidden weapons, making Situ Hengnan take a few steps back.Taking advantage of this gap, they picked up the man who had lost the dagger, and left in a hurry.
Situ Hengnan hurriedly approached Huo Feng and asked, "Zixin, are you alright?"
"It's okay." Huo Feng looked a little pale.
Situ Hengnan looked down at the dagger in his hand, and found that there was nothing special about it, it was just an ordinary dagger.
"This place has been sealed off for many years, and there are still people who come to assassinate, maybe..." Huo Feng raised his head with a worried expression on his face.
Situ Hengnan also understood, so he answered, "Someone is following us, or in other words, someone has been thinking about this case."
The two looked at each other and silently agreed with this point of view.
☆, wedding
1 The news of Situ Xing'er's wedding, the jewel in the General's Mansion, spread throughout the entire imperial city.
Although many people commented on the marriage between Situ Xing'er and Chen Xiaowei before, saying that the daughter of Situ's mansion was married, but this was not enough to affect the wedding ceremony bestowed by the Holy One.
Decorated with hairpins and rouge, Situ Xing'er looked at herself in the mirror, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Suddenly, a pair of hands gently caressed her shoulders.
"The beauty of the peach is shining brightly." The general's wife put on a gold bracelet for her daughter and murmured softly.
"My son is returning home, and it is suitable for his family." Situ Xing'er said to her, "My daughter will remember what mother said."
A few nights ago, the general's wife had talked a lot with her daughter, but now seeing her daughter Feng Guanxia in her body, a strong reluctance flooded her heart.I thought that the sadness in my heart should be what I had in the past few days, but I didn't expect that at this moment, it was the deepest love that spread.
It was silent for a while, until Cai'er walked to the door and said softly: "Madam, the time has come."
With the red hijab covering her view, Situ Xing'er, supported by her mother and Cai'er, stepped across the threshold.
The general's wife watched her daughter get into the sedan chair, and also saw Chen Ning nodding to her immediately, so she stopped.Situ Hengnan, who was protecting his relatives, also immediately said: "Mother, don't worry."
General Situ patted her on the shoulder, and the general's wife's tears fell.
General Situ put his wife in his arms and did not speak, but just watched the sedan chair and the party leave.
The commotion ended, and the General's Mansion returned to its former calm.
The general's wife also accepted the sorrow and was ready to go to the banquet later.
The reason why this big wedding is called a big wedding is not only because it was bestowed by the Holy One, but also because important officials from all parties will bring their families to drink a cup of wedding wine, which can be regarded as giving General Situ a face.
Under the noisy and hot scene, Situ Hengnan was a little silent.
The last raid made him tense again. In the past two months, he had to send additional defense troops to Huo Feng's temporary residence.Because of regular military training and the marriage between Xing'er and Chen Ning, he rarely met Huo Feng. At the same time, his father seemed to have noticed that he often went out, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble to Huo Feng.
The pretense of working for Prince Chenyu has been played for a long time.He also reported to Chen Yu about the last raid, and Chen Yu was also planning to investigate Dali Temple secretly.
Today, I originally thought that Huo Feng would also come, but unfortunately almost all the guests came, and there was no sign of him.
Situ Hengnan showed frustration, but after all, it was his sister's wedding, and he had to happily watch the wedding go through smoothly.
Putting on his smile again, Situ Hengnan and several other captains surrounded Chen Ning, ready to fill him up with wine.
"This... the groom is half-drunk, how can it be a wedding night!" Captain Zhou is the youngest among the captains, seeing that Chen Ning is not particularly good at drinking, he was drunk several times With wine, his face was red, and he was a little worried.
Captain Li, who was usually the roughest and unrestrained, laughed, and said to Captain Zhou, "You're not married yourself, so you'd be worried about other people's wedding night."
"This... this..." Captain Zhou was a little anxious.
"Old Li, look at you, I'm not drunk, stop and have a rest!" Lieutenant Lin took the wine cup from Li Xiaowei's hand and put it aside.
Captain Wu followed with a smile, but he didn't say anything witty.
Situ Hengnan originally watched them play with each other and thought it was very interesting, but seeing that Chen Ning couldn't resist, he helped pull Captain Li away and said, "Let's drink with me, Captain Li. I don't want my brother-in-law to be really drunk."
As he spoke, Situ Hengnan downed a small jar of wine in one gulp, which was a special mellow wine brewed in the Fuchu.
"Okay, the Major General is the most refreshing!" Li Xiaowei also picked up a jar of wine, touched Situ Hengnan, and after a few sips, it was a jar of fun.
Situ Hengnan saw Li Xiaowei drinking down, so he ordered someone to send him back.The other lieutenants also resigned.
He was still drinking alone.
It seems that one night when he was 16 years old, he was also so preoccupied.
2 In the morning after waking up from drunk, I always have a splitting headache.
The general's wife knew that her son was drunk, so she specially ordered someone to make a hangover soup for him to drink.
After the headache subsided a little, Situ Hengnan went out of the house and found his father standing there. Although his temple hair was slightly gray, his figure was still as vigorous as a pine tree.Because he was seriously injured in a battle, General Situ failed to hold out until the end of the battle, so he could only return to the city early to recuperate, and let Situ Hengnan temporarily take over the whole army as a major general.
After returning, Situ Hengnan also took over his father's position, reorganized the army, and properly compensated the families of the casualties.
Apart from asking his father some necessary questions, he actually didn't say much to his father.
It wasn't like that when I was a kid, everything changed after my grandmother was gone.
"Father." Situ Hengnan walked into the courtyard and called General Situ.
When General Situ heard this, he turned around with a peaceful expression on his face.
"Last night you were so drunk that you couldn't wake up, Shen Ke asked someone to send you back." General Situ said, and moved his lips again, as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't continue.
"Ah? Then I have to thank Mr. Shen." Situ Hengnan scratched his head.This is to let parents say goodbye first, and then return by themselves.From this point of view, he really drank too much, he couldn't come back alone, and made a lot of noise.
General Situ seemed to let out a long breath, and then said: "Heng'er, do you know what you are still muttering in your sleep when you come back?"
Situ Hengnan stopped scratching his hair, startled.
"Heng'er..." Situ Hengnan didn't know what to say.
General Situ frowned slightly, but his tone was moderate: "I heard that Zixin came back with you?"
Situ Hengnan pursed his lips and said in silence for a while, "Father, Zixin didn't come back with me, but he helped me break the key."
"Understood." General Situ nodded, and then asked earnestly, "You're talking about Zixin..."
"Heng'er didn't!" Situ Hengnan hurriedly cut off General Situ's words.
"Look into Dad's eyes!" General Situ's voice was like a bell.Situ Hengnan raised his head and looked at General Situ.
"Heng'er has reached the crown, so she won't be so ignorant. I told my father earlier that His Royal Highness entrusted me and Zixin with something. Recently, we are investigating an important matter." Situ Hengnan explained in a deep voice. road.
"That's good." General Situ approached, coughed a few times uncontrollably, and patted Situ Hengnan on the shoulder, "Go ahead."
After General Situ coughed, he straightened his spine again and walked towards the other side with steady steps.
Situ Hengnan raised his head and let out a heavy breath facing the blue sky.
☆, Guining
1 On the day when Situ Xinger returned to Ning, the weather was sunny and sunny, and the weather was the best in recent days.
Cai'er helped her get out of the carriage, and when she lifted the curtain, she found that her parents and elder brother had already been waiting there.
Situ Hengnan looked at his younger sister who had been lively for many years and was bouncing around with a purse on her back, and suddenly her long hair was coiled up, her demeanor became a little more dignified, and she also felt something indescribable in her heart.
"Father, mother, brother."
Situ Xing'er called out loudly, then went over and threw herself into the arms of the general's wife.
We only parted for a few days, and besides, Situ Xing'er was still very free and could come back whenever she wanted, so the general's wife was not so reluctant.
The general's wife specially prepared a table of delicious dishes, and the family reunited for another meal.After the meal, Xing'er took Situ Hengnan to a pavilion in the mansion, looked around and said, "Brother, did you know that Brother Zixin also came that night?"
Situ Hengnan's heart trembled, but joy suddenly burst out in his heart.
"Really?" Situ Heng said subconsciously.
Seeing his appearance, Situ Xing'er couldn't help laughing.
But it seems that recalling the past, Xing'er's smile faded a bit, so she said: "Brother, brother Zixin only came for a while, and said that he still gave me his blessing in person. But it seems that he left because he saw that you were drunk. .”
"That's it." Situ Hengnan responded awkwardly after hearing this.
Situ Xing'er said again: "Brother Zixin seems to have something to look for you. A few days ago you went to reorganize the army, and he entrusted me with a letter."
Situ Hengnan nodded and said, "Then I'll go find him."
"En." Situ Xing'er replied.
"What did Zixin give you?" Situ Hengnan had long wanted to ask.
Myolie said mysteriously, "You come and guess."
Situ Hengnan clicked his tongue and said, "I've guessed many times. It's a bit heavy, so it can't be some kind of weapon?"
Situ Xing'er smiled and said, "Who would give a weapon to a wedding?"
"We are different." Situ Hengnan seemed to be joking, but also seemed to be laughing at himself.
"Actually, I don't know what to say, it should be considered a mechanism." Xing'er thought about it carefully, "It's very unique, it can be used as a jewelry box, and it can also be turned into a delicate peony flower by touching the parts. .”
"Oh? It's so amazing." Situ Hengnan listened, but his heart was covered with fog.
Zixin can not only manipulate hidden weapons, but also create mechanisms?
Seeing Situ Hengnan's complexion darken suddenly, Situ Xing'er noticed it, and asked worriedly, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Situ Hengnan's complexion turned bright, "I still have things to do. After a while, my brother will come to see you at the house."
Situ Hengnan patted Xing'er on the shoulder.
2 In the several battles to regain the northern soil, the army lost many martyrs.
Situ Hengnan wrote down their names one by one on the scroll, and then checked one by one whether their families had been appeased and compensated.
Every stroke is full of bitterness.
The word "peace" is really too heavy.
Slightly closing his eyes, it seemed that the sky was filled with sand and dust, and there was blood on the blade.
It wasn't until the right eyelid twitched a few times that Situ Hengnan opened his eyes.
Putting down the pen and slowly closing the scroll, Situ Hengnan let out a long sigh of relief.
She closed her eyes slightly, but someone knocked on the door.
"General, it's me." A loud voice came from outside the door.
"Captain Wu?" Situ Hengnan stood up and opened the door.
Seeing that Captain Wu seemed to be still panting, and his face was a little flustered, Situ Hengnan missed a beat in his heart and asked, "What's wrong?"
Captain Wu said: "I just heard the news that Mr. Shen found the evidence that Mr. Huo is a spy of the Northern Tu nationality and presented it to Dali Temple. Dali Temple immediately sent someone to take Mr. Huo away."
Situ Hengnan turned cold: "Mr. Shen? Shen Ke?"
Captain Wu nodded and gave a heavy "hmm".
"Where is Mr. Huo now?" Situ Hengnan asked.
"It should be in Dali Temple. It is being interrogated. Major General, don't worry too much. Lieutenant Li, Zhou Xiaowei, and Lin Xiaowei are all hearing the trial."
"You follow me into the palace." As soon as Situ Hengnan's words fell, Captain Wu replied "Yes", and then the two hurried to Dali Temple with their horses ready.
"What evidence did Shen Ke find?" Situ Hengnan asked Xiaowei Wu while walking quickly.
Captain Wu replied: "It is said that the pawn who kidnapped Mr. Huo in the army was caught by Mr. Shen and accused Mr. Huo."
"How did you say it?"
"I don't know the details, but the guards you sent, Major General, told me."
"You go to the prince and ask him to come to Dali Temple."
The door plaque of Dali Temple has come into view, and the guard at the door did not change his face when he saw a token shown by Situ Hengnan, but said coldly: "General Situ, Dali Temple is interrogating important prisoners. It will not be released to the outside world, please understand."
"Fu Siqing should be clear that regarding matters in the military, my leading major general should also have the right to hear the hearing."
Situ Heng Nan stroked the scabbard around his waist.
"General Situ, there is a written rule in Dali Temple: the prisoner's blood relatives and people acquainted with the prisoner are not allowed to participate in the trial process. The minister of the temple has specifically explained this. If the case goes to trial, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for judgment. General Situ is free to raise objections to the result."
The guards did not move an inch, which means they are determined not to let them go.
Situ Hengnan wanted to let go of the scabbard, but a calm and steady voice came from behind: "Mr. Situ."
Situ Hengnan withdrew his hand and turned around to see who was coming.
"Bachelor of Arts."
The document that is currently in charge of the position of a bachelor, written in ink, stands upright, revealing a natural stability.
Situ Hengnan knew about this person when he was young, but he was not very familiar with him.At Situ Xing'er's wedding, the Bachelor of Arts also gave a generous gift, and they met not long ago.
"Why did Mr. Situ come to Dali Temple?"
The voice of the Bachelor of Arts was calm, neither like a cross-examination nor a greeting.
This person is not only a portrayal of a poetic and literary spirit, but also a cold air that strangers should not get close to.
Seeing that Situ Hengnan didn't reply for a while, and the scholar of letters was not in a hurry, he said slowly: "Mr. Fu, living in peace in the palace, today I wanted to find a few files, so I passed by this Dali Temple and saw Mr. Situ."
After a short pause, the Bachelor of Arts turned to the guard guarding the gate and said, "I saw Second Master Shen just now. Could it be that there is some important case? If someone acquainted with the prisoner is not allowed to participate in the trial, why is Second Master Shen also present?"
The cold-faced guard didn't change his face, and said: "Second Master Shen is the one who provided the evidence, so he will naturally participate in the trial."
After hearing this, Situ Hengnan knew that the documents were intended to help, so he took the words and said to the cold-faced guard: "Mr. As for the evidence, I have different evidence from Mr. Shen, may I submit it to Minister Fu Si?"
The cold-faced guard froze, knowing that Situ Hengnan would not give up, and with the help of a Bachelor of Arts, most likely the crown prince would also visit Dali Temple in person.
After thinking about it, the cold-faced guard had no choice but to ask another guard to go in and report.
After a long while, the door of Dali Temple opened slowly, and Situ Hengnan said "thank you" softly to the document before hurriedly entering Dali Temple.
3 Dali Temple is located in a secluded part of the palace, but it is not small in scale, surrounded by high walls, and the aura of splendor permeates every corner.
After entering the main hall, the guard notified Fu Siqing before retreating.
Huo Feng knelt on the ground, but his figure stood upright as before.In front of him was Fu Siqing who was the presiding judge, the officials who recorded the testimony, and two adults from the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Several guards stood guard on both sides.On the sidelines were the captains and Shen Ke who provided evidence.
The one who was tremblingly giving testimony was the pawn who disappeared when Huo Feng was taken away.
Situ Hengnan bowed respectfully to Fu Min. The soldier looked sideways, saw Situ Hengnan, and said with some fear, "Young... Major General..."
Situ Hengnan always remembered this pawn. Although he didn't know his name at first, he knew that this person was a pawn who had cleaned the stables.
People in the army, including him, finally checked the roster and decided that this small soldier was a spy. It was only after that that he knew that his name was Han Hui. He had basically never participated in any battles. chores.
Seeing Han Hui stammering at this time, Situ Hengnan was puzzled: Is this kind of person really a spy from the North who has been lurking in the army for a long time?
Shen Ke didn't even lift his eyelids, thinking about it, he also expected Situ Hengnan's arrival.
Fu Min simply motioned Situ Hengnan to sit aside and listen to the trial, and Situ Hengnan sat down.
"Han Hui, follow up with what you just said." Fu Min's calm yet majestic voice fell, and Han Hui stammered a few more words before explaining what he knew fluently.
Han Hui said: "Little one, I was just talking about that day when I suddenly saw someone in the army talking to Mr. Huo in the stable, but I didn't know who it was. The man mentioned Beitu and said that he was behind Beitu. After a long time with Mr. Huo, the little one continued to listen. Maybe it was because the little one accidentally made some noises, and suddenly someone...someone hit me on the back of the neck with gravity, and the little one didn't know anything afterwards. When the younger one woke up later, he was only in a partial tent, and the surroundings were very dark. There were words that the younger one couldn't understand outside the tent. Later, the major general came to rescue Mr. Huo, and the younger one knew that he was in the Beitu army camp. Just took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
After Fu Min listened, he asked Huo Feng in a deep voice: "Huo Feng, have you been to Beitu before entering the military camp to offer advice?"
Huo Feng didn't change his face, and replied calmly: "Return to Siqing, Caomin lived in Beitu for a period of time before, more than two months."
Fu Min then asked: "The northern land has been in chaos recently, what have you been doing for the past two months?"
Huo Feng opened his mouth and said: "The grass people have stayed in the northern land before they know their formation."
"In that case, who was the person Han Hui mentioned talking to you?"
"The person Caomin was talking to was this soldier. It's just that this person himself said that he had stayed in Beitu, so he should have met once. So now Caomin guesses that this person will be able to disguise himself."
"Oh? It means that someone disguised himself as Han Hui, and this person is the one who kidnapped you?"
"If what this officer said is true, the grassroots will confirm this conjecture."
"The other pawns in the army said that Mr. Situ went to battle that day, Mr. Huo waited at the wind for a long time, and then disappeared. So where did Mr. Huo plan to go?"
"The grass people just went to the stables."
"Why do you want to go to the stables?"
"Siqing doesn't know, my horse has followed me for many years, so I naturally go to see it from time to time."
Fu Min tapped the armchair rhythmically with his fingers, no longer asking questions, but meditating.
After a long period of silence, the official who wrote the testimony whispered something in Fu Min's ear. Fu Min nodded, then turned to Situ Hengnan and said, "Mr. Situ, what evidence do you have to present?"
Situ Heng stood up and said: "Return to the Siqing, this is the blueprint left by Mr. Huo when he discussed the formation with me when he offered advice. Everyone in the army also knows that Mr. Huo broke the formation."
A subordinate official presented the blueprint, but Fu Min just glanced over it.
Suddenly, Shen Ke, who had been silent for a long time, sneered, and then slowly said: "The young general and Mr. Huo have a very close relationship, so naturally there is no doubt. It's just these things, how can you explain them?"
Two people stepped into the main hall carrying a big sack.With a shake of the sack, organs and hidden weapons, large and small, were scattered on the ground.
"Major General, do you know that these hidden weapons were created by Beitu?"
Situ Hengnan looked at something on the ground that he had never seen before, his face darkened, and he didn't say a word.
"Major General, you don't know where Mr. Huo has been in recent years, and you have fallen into a trap by rushing into the enemy camp and risking your own life."
Fu Min frowned when he saw the weapons, so he continued to ask: "Huo Feng, how do you explain these weapons?"
Huo Feng replied: "It is true that the mechanism principle came from Beitu, but these are all made by grassroots people."
Fu Min exchanged opinions with the other two chief judges, and then said in a deep voice: "The specific situation has yet to be verified, and it is impossible to determine whether you are innocent or not. Send an order to take Huo Feng to the Ministry of Punishment first."
☆, mist
1 A few days have passed since Huo Feng was interrogated.
After some twists and turns, several people confessed, and finally released on bail by the prince, Huo Feng was able to get out of prison safely as soon as possible.
During the few days when Huo Feng was in prison, Situ Hengnan was already in a hurry. If Chen Yu hadn't repeatedly reassured him, he would have rushed into the prison of the Ministry of Justice to rob him.
"Brother Nan, I already understand." Chen Yu still wanted to tease Situ Hengnan, "In these few years, you have not been impatient, but you are not normal to someone. He lost his temper, but he is always the one who can upset you."
"Thank you very much." Situ Hengnan couldn't be bothered.
Just now when Huo Feng came out, he saw him at a glance, but he didn't say anything.
Situ Hengnan's originally anxious heart finally calmed down a bit, but he had an indescribably complicated mood.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way.The relative silence seemed to echo a familiarity.
"you……"
"you……"
The halfway silence ushered in a unanimous voice.
"You trust me?" Huo Feng looked at Situ Hengnan with clear black eyes.
"letter."
Situ Hengnan didn't hesitate, but the bitterness seemed to overflow for no reason, and he didn't look directly into Huo Feng's eyes.
"Would you have believed me if two other pawns hadn't come forward to testify?"
It was at this moment that Situ Hengnan looked directly into Huo Feng's eyes, and it was at this moment that he understood the fear in his heart.
He is not afraid that Huo Feng will do unrighteous things, so he trusts him extremely, even if he has not seen him for a few years.But he was afraid that Huo Feng would hide something from him, and he was even more afraid that someone would hurt him.
God knows that when Shen Ke suddenly said that he had obtained some evidence, his heart suddenly tightened. He was not afraid that Huo Feng would lie to him, but that he would be injured.
If there were no two pawns who later testified that Mr. Huo had indeed gone to the stable and muttered to Chen Feng and Kai Feng, then the person who appeared to speak was Han Hui, and the stable was also the place where they saw Huo Feng for the last time. Feng's innocence is difficult to prove.
Even without those two pawns, he still believed in him.However, Han Hui's words still need to be considered.
"Zixin." Situ Hengnan took out a small celadon bottle from his pocket with one hand, and pulled Huo Feng's wrist with the other, "Of course I believe you."
Although it was just a few days, the handcuffs were cold and heavy, and Huo Feng's wrist was still slightly bruised for a week.
"Situ, no need." Huo Feng withdrew his hand, "Just trust me. It's just that there are some things I can't tell you now. Maybe in the future, I won't be able to..."
The silence seemed to return again, Situ Hengnan clenched his fist slightly, and finally pulled Huo Feng's wrist again, stubbornly applying medicine to those bruises.
"Last time, I wanted to tell you about the wedding banquet." Huo Feng didn't stop Situ Hengnan, but started to talk.
When Situ Hengnan heard about it, he replied, "Say it."
"I also went that day." Huo Feng seemed to remember something, and paused for a moment, "I saw two newcomers from the academy under the Bachelor of Arts also went to congratulate together."
"I know this. You continue to talk." Situ Hengnan finished applying the medicine and put away the porcelain bottle.
"One of them was a little weak in his wrist when toasting, so he toasted in a hurry and left. The figure of that person is indeed somewhat similar to the person who attacked the person whose dagger you discarded that day. Moreover, we were in danger that day, and the person's body There was actually some ink on the finger. It was just a few glances, and I can't confirm it."
"So, the Bachelor of Arts is also related to the First Prince's affairs?"
In Situ Hengnan's mind, the documents he encountered not long ago appeared, and he felt that there was nothing special about this great scholar.
"This is just a conjecture. But I have figured out one thing these two days." Huo Feng frowned again, "Actually, Jiang Luo was the one who kidnapped me in the barracks."
"Why do you say that?" Situ Hengnan recalled the Beitu army division who said something different.
"I stayed near the Beitu military camp for a while. Originally, I was going to lurk in, but my cousin Ling stopped me. In the end, it was cousin Ling who lurks into the barracks. My cousin told me about this military adviser, he Said that he has never seen the real face of the military division, but this military division seems to be everywhere. I have thought about it for a long time these days, a person can transform into thousands of faces, but the calmness and coldness of the speech, and the look in the eyes , but it gave me the feeling of Jiang Luo. Han Hui did not lie, I am sure that the person who spoke to me that day was not the real him."
Huo Feng lowered his eyes.
"But Dali Temple doesn't agree with your statement. Now...the imperial court is also looking for that northern military commander." Situ Hengnan thought of Han Hui who was still hanging in his voice, "Since he was wronged, then I will go Please forgive me."
"But you, just to break the formation, hid near the Beitu military camp for a long time?"
Situ Hengnan picked up on this important point.For the past two days, he tossed and turned at night, and finally decided to ask Huo Feng.
"Yes..." Huo Feng didn't look directly at Situ Hengnan, but his eyes accidentally collided, and the clarity of Situ Hengnan's eyes suddenly hit him, "...No."
"Forget it, Zixin, since there are some things that cannot be said now, let's not say them."
Situ Hengnan in front of him laughed.
"Young Master, we're here." The coachman reminded, and then the carriage stopped slowly, and finally stopped.
"Zixin," Situ Hengnan also got out of the car, "You have to protect yourself."
"Ah."
2 Two days later, Huo Feng received a letter from Fei Ge. After reading the contents, he let out a long sigh of relief when he learned that his cousin was safe.
It's almost summer, and the air is getting hotter and hotter, but there are a few times when the cold comes back, which makes people caught off guard.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door three times. When Huo Feng heard it, he looked through another small hole in the door wall to see who was coming, and finally opened the door.
"Brother Xiaofeng." It was Chen Ning who came.
"Ah Ning." Huo Feng smiled knowingly, "It's a shame that you couldn't congratulate in person on your big day."
Chen Ning hurriedly shook her head and said, "Brother Xiaofeng, what's the matter? But I heard that Xing'er said that you actually came that day, but you went back suddenly. Did someone over there speak coldly to each other while we were not paying attention?"
"No, I just found something useful." Huo Feng frowned again thinking of the injured bookboy.
But in fact that night, he wanted to immediately find Situ Hengnan who attended the wedding banquet, but he didn't want to meet Shen Ke first.
Shen Ke seemed to be slightly drunk, his face was a little flushed, and he held his forehead with one hand, but he was not unconscious, but when he walked towards him for a while, he still brushed Huo Feng's shoulder heavily.
"Huo Feng?" Shen Ke paused and dropped his brown sleeves.
"Mr. Shen." Huo Feng turned around respectfully and saluted.
"Sure enough, you still think that you are a part of Situ's Mansion." Shen Ke lowered his smile, "Unfortunately, Situ's Mansion can't tolerate you, Huo Feng."
Huo Feng pursed his lips lightly, without saying a word.
He knew that Situ's mansion would not tolerate him, because those people were talking gossip.And Situ Hengnan has not yet married, which further confirms those rumors.And are those really rumors?
He doesn't have a clear conscience.
"The biological mother of General Zhen Guo, Yipin Gaoming's wife, was disturbed by the rumors of her grandson, and she was unbearably worried. She passed away five years ago." Shen Ke seemed to be dizzy, and raised his hand up again, rubbing the center of his brows.
Huo Feng's heart felt cold for a while, his eyes widened in an instant, and he said, "Old lady..."
Madam, did you leave five years ago... because...
"Huo Feng, it's better for you... to stay farther away from Situ Hengnan." Shen Ke's eyes turned cold, and he left with a wave of his sleeves. No one saw the sadness in his eyes.
3 Huo Feng remembered what happened at the wedding banquet night, but felt that Shen Ke was drunk, otherwise he would not have called him and Situ Hengnan by their names.
"Brother Xiaofeng?" Seeing that he was distracted, Chen Ning called again.
Huo Feng came back to his senses, asked Chen Ning to come into the room to talk slowly, and asked, "What can you do with me?"
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. But the major general..." Chen Ning sat down, seeming to choose her words carefully.
"What happened to Situ?" Huo Feng asked Chen Ning nervously, remembering the people who had raided before.
Seeing his serious expression, Chen Ning immediately explained: "Brother Xiaofeng, you are thinking too much, the major general is fine, it's just that maybe, maybe, maybe, he's in a bad mood."
"The matter entrusted by the prince has made little progress." Huo Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but the matter about the eldest prince has always been a heavy stone in his heart.
Chen Ning suppressed her smile deliberately, and then said: "Uh...Maybe the Major General is also worried. Recently, the Major General asked us to find someone. The scope of the search includes the small towns and official roads around the imperial city. .”
"But the northern army, Jiang Luo?" Huo Feng said.
Chen Ning nodded, shook her head again, and said, "Yes, and no."
"You want to find Jiang Luo by finding the orphan of Beitu?" Huo Feng thought about it after hearing this, and then asked.
Chen Ning nodded, and said: "It seems that the major general and brother Xiaofeng also talked about it beforehand. Yes, we are looking for this orphan from Beitu."
Huo Feng murmured to himself: "A child was also involved in this chaos."
Seeing Huo Feng's downcast eyes, Chen Ning explained: "The Major General will not embarrass a child, even if the child is an orphan of Beitu. Although the Major General appears cold-faced and iron-blooded on the battlefield, he is very warm-hearted in private. Just like a real brother. Brother Xiaofeng, I always feel that the Major General has always been the 'Yunan', but because of the identity of the Major General, he is not so free and has become a little silent. However, after Brother Xiaofeng came back, The major general seems to be the one who came to the southwest to look for you again.
