Winter morning.
In the Han Dynasty, the west was respected, and there were two imperial palaces in Chang'an, one in the east and one in the west, located next to each other.
Changle Palace is located in the east, also known as the East Palace, and has the largest area. The Queen Mother and some of the emperor's family members lived in Changle Palace, which was also the emperor's residence before the Weiyang Palace was built.
Later, the emperor moved to the more spectacular and magnificent Weiyang Palace.
Liu Qing woke up from his fuzzy state in a palace in Changle Palace, and slowly exhaled a breath of air that gathered together but never dispersed, like a sword of energy.
"Last night, I sensed that there was energy rising into the sky in the city. It was Huo Shizhong who broke through the Nine Realms and approached the level of heaven and man..."
She got up and went to the window, looking up into the distance.
"Master once said that he observed the weather of heaven and earth, and my great Han Dynasty will give birth to a divine general who can help the emperor expand the territory and protect the stability of the world. I thought it was Wei Qing... But Huo Shizhong's breakthrough to the Nine Realms induced There seems to be a chance for the Qi in the sky..."
Liu Qing welcomed the morning glow to gather energy. After completing his practice, he left the palace where he lived, dressed in a gorgeous red-patterned Hanfu, and went outside the palace.
…
"I've met Huo Shizhong."
The cold-faced girl responded: "I am one of the twelve guards under the secret agent. I came here to inform Huo Shizhong of our progress."
"Our people secretly followed the target woman who was let go. She was very careful after she escaped, but she stayed around Chang'an. As of this morning, she returned to the city again.
It is still under our supervision. "
"Back to Chang'an again?" Huo Qubing's heart moved slightly.
Things seemed to be a little more troublesome than expected. The woman escaped death and dared to return to Chang'an, which meant that she felt it was safer to return to the city.
In other words, if there is someone behind the woman, there is a high probability that he is in Chang'an, and his identity is not simple.
"Where is the other arrested person?" Huo Qubing asked.
"Afraid that the people entering the city would be too unobtrusive, they were locked up in the guard camp outside the city." Yao Zhao said.
"Go and have a look."
Yao Zhao responded, turned around and led the way.
Huo Qubing looked at the cat-eyed girl following him.
"The order I received is to follow Huo Shizhong to ensure that Huo Shizhong can convey the order to the secret agent as quickly as possible and cooperate with the action." The girl said.
"what's your name?"
"Song Ran."
During the conversation, they came to the gate of the mansion, took a carriage with two horses, and quickly headed out of the city.
Only Huo Qubing was sitting in the carriage, Song Ran sat at the shaft, and Yao Zhao was responsible for driving the car himself.
As soon as Huo Qubing entered the carriage, he saw the curtain on the left side was opened, and a big furry head came in. His fake cat closed its eyes with a look of injustice on his face, indicating that he was left at home last time. Gatekeeper, I want to go out and play with you this time.
Seeing that Huo Qubing had no objection, it immediately took advantage of it and dragged the back half of its body from outside the car into the car. It sat next to Huo Qubing and licked its tongue with excitement.
After the car set off, Huo Qubing closed his eyes lightly and let his thoughts sink into his body again.
The noise, conversation, and footsteps on the street outside the car all weakened, as if they were blocked.
He discovered a change brought about by promotion to the Nine Realms.
After this breakthrough, even if he stops using the power in his body, Soaring Snake will emerge from the Book of Knowledge and Sea Arms.
The many ancient characters about the real meaning of the Law Teng Snake in the military book shimmered and were intertwined, like an array of spells, pulling the aura between heaven and earth.
"The true meaning of the Fateng Snake chapter has turned into a spiritual storage array existing in the sea of consciousness..."
Teng She raised her neck from the simple book and swallowed all the spiritual energy drawn by the array.
call!
After swallowing the spiritual energy, Teng She opened his mouth again and spit out the spiritual energy transformed by it.
This qi flowed down from Huo Qubing's spiritual platform, like a stormy sea, traveling throughout his body.
His body is like a furnace, swept by Soaring Snake's energy, constantly refining itself, gaining access to all the apertures, and strengthening his spirit.
This is equivalent to Huo Qubing communicating with heaven and earth all the time, breathing in and out of breath.
Every time Soaring Snake inhales and exhales, his body is like adding fire to a furnace, and his Qi is constantly increasing.
Huo Qubing combined his thoughts with the sea of consciousness to feel his own changes, and continued to accumulate increasing power.
"Shizhong Huo, we're here." Yao Zhao's angry voice came from outside the car.
Huo Qubing was immersed in the changes in his body. He didn't realize that time had passed, but he had already arrived at the guard station outside the city.
He retracted his thoughts and got out of the car.
The big cat also jumped down, taking cat steps, looking at the people around him as if looking at the cat slave.
Around Chang'an, the standing troops are the Chang'an Guards, one of the most elite members of the Han Dynasty.
When Huo Qubing got out of the car, he heard deafening shouts of death and the sound of weapons clashing.
In the military camp ahead, the Chang'an Guards were training.
During the civil war in the camp, the neighing of horses, the collision of weapons and armor, and the beating of war drums created a unique atmosphere in the barracks.
"Shizhong Huo."
The commander-in-chief of the Chang'an Guards was Tong Xuan, the Youzhong Lang General under the command of Lang Zhongling, one of the Nine Qings.
He personally welcomed them out of the camp.
In terms of rank, General Zhonglang is actually more than one level higher than Huo Qubing, who currently has no actual job.
But precisely because his status was high enough, he became more aware of Huo Qubing's identity.
This person is not only His Majesty's confidant, his aunt is the Queen, but more importantly, his immediate boss's boss is Huo Qubing's uncle Wei Qing.
So there’s nothing wrong with welcoming you in person.
The right middle man, General Tong Xuan, is in his early forties, with a bronze complexion, and has the toughness of a general, with light armor on his body.
"Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief."
"I am a minister of the court, and I should serve His Majesty with all my heart." Tong Xuan is short and stout, but has a high nose and slender eyes. He is a brave and strategic general.
He also has a backing. His ancestors were the founding fathers of the country. He has been a military general for three generations and has been loyal for generations.
The Chang'an Guards Command Camp is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by high walls like mountains.
Because of the need to guard Chang'an, the military camp itself is a small city and one of the acropolises of Chang'an.
It was approaching noon and the sky was a little cloudy.
In the center of the huge camp, inside a building, the listless Fu Feng was dragged in by two soldiers.
After Fu Feng was captured alive, he was violently interrogated by Yao Zhao and others.
These guys from the military were brutal in their methods. Fu Feng's cheeks were swollen, and there were many more wounds on his body than when he was captured. There was blood everywhere.
But he had a stern look on his face and did not give in. He had already made plans to die.
After being brought into the palace, Fu Feng saw a young man in black robes and a posture as straight as a spear sitting in the main seat. He guessed the identity of the young man after a moment's thought and said bitterly: "You are the favorite of the emperor, your surname is Huo." illegitimate son."
Favorite is obviously a derogatory term, and illegitimate child is full of contempt.
Huo Qubing looked as usual. The other person only wanted to die when he was provoked. He was fooled when he was angry.
However, the big cat next to it suddenly jumped out, its claws almost leaving an afterimage.
Uh-huh! Swish!
Fu Feng's face was covered with bloodstains, and the bones were almost visible.
The big cat almost scratched him to death.
After a while, the big cat retracted its claws and returned to Huo Qubing, showing an arrogant look like he is my protector, so be careful what you say.
Then he turned his cat's eyes towards Huo Qubing, expressively expressing that it didn't matter, if he dared to talk nonsense again, I would take action.
Song Ran, who didn't talk much about her breasts, looked surprised. Is this cat going to become a sperm?
Huo Qubing asked Yao Zhao: "Did you ask anything?"
Yao Zhao, who was standing behind Huo Qubing with Song Ran, replied: "There were scribes in the camp who spoke with Confucian practice and interrogated him, making it difficult for him to lie. Unfortunately, they didn't get any valuable information."
Song Ran also said: "This person should have practiced the Soul Confinement Technique, and may even have blocked part of his spiritual consciousness to prevent detection.
It is impossible for such a person to ask for information. In fact, there is no need to waste words.
Our secret agent had a kind of elixir and asked him to take it, but he had no choice but not to say anything. However, after taking it, he would die within a quarter of an hour at most. "
Song Ran was explaining to Huo Qubing and also assisting.
As she spoke, her eyes were focused on Fu Feng.
However, when Fu Feng heard that he would die if he took the medicine, his expression did not change, and even his pupils did not shrink slightly, which is common when he is afraid of death.
Song Ran sighed. According to her experience, this person was most likely caught in vain, and it was unlikely that he would be able to ask anything.
Fu Feng still stared at Huo Qubing fiercely and muttered: "You can try whatever means you have."
He seemed to be a tough guy... Huo Qubing suddenly activated the power of the snake in his body.
The soaring snake in the sea of consciousness seemed to come to life, its eyes opened and closed, and it looked at Fu Feng opposite.
The flying snake is intimidating and projects fear.
Huo Qubing used the terrifying technique of Soaring Snake, which he formally practiced after his breakthrough, to attack the soul.
Even Yao Zhao and Song Ran felt the reaction, and the surrounding air became as heavy as a mountain, and the terrifying pressure filled the air like a tidal wave.
At the same time, Fu Feng snorted lightly.
The pain that acted on his soul made his head feel like it had been uncovered and stewed in boiling water. Unimaginable pain and fear instantly filled his consciousness.
In an instant, he lost control of himself and the tough-guy expression management, his face was distorted, and his soul was shattered.
"Where are you from?"
Fu Feng heard a voice that sounded like it came from deep within his soul.
This voice did not tolerate disobedience and made his soul tremble. His only thought was to confess everything to the other party.
Song Ran and Yao Zhao looked at Fu Feng in disbelief, who was still a tough guy just now. In the blink of an eye, he knelt on his legs and started asking and talking.
Song Ran pursed her lips and was stunned.
