The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the white clouds wandering in the sky red.
"The princess asked me to call the Marquis to have dinner."
Zhuo Qingke's chin almost pressed to her fair and delicate collarbone, her head lowered. The smart and charming eyes with long eyelashes peeked at Huo Qubing.
There were so many attendants in the house that they were not needed, so she was asked to call Huo Qubing. This was probably for some special purpose.
Zhuo Qingke didn't know if his guess was right, but he couldn't help but feel extremely shy, his pretty face was pink, and he clenched the corners of his sleeves tightly in his hands.
She was wearing a sky-blue long skirt, and the apricot-colored waistband showed off her slender waist and plump upper and lower legs. Her legs were well-proportioned and put together without any gaps.
The Marquis Mansion was warm and cozy, and it was nearly December, and her fair legs were still exposed under her skirt, as smooth as porcelain glaze.
Since Zhuo Huai disappeared, Zhuo Qingke has gradually matured, but she has maintained the tenderness of a girl. Charm and meekness coexist, forming her unique temperament.
Huo Qubing stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "I heard Qing'er say that your Zhuo family has finished dividing the family property?"
"Yes. I'll leave it to Zhuo Wangsun to take care of it. With... the Marquis here, he shouldn't do anything."
Zhuo Qingke nodded her little head, held up the hem of her skirt, and followed a step behind with light steps.
Huo Qubing came out of the study and walked along the corridor to the small lakeside of the back house.
Tao Zun, Qin Qingyu, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Roshna, and Bai Nanyu, who was at the bottom of the table, each occupied the lower seats.
Guests came to the house, and in order to entertain Roshna, they had dinner and drinks.
Several women all have stunning looks, and each has their own characteristics.
Liu Qing's unique style is gorgeous and noble. Bai Nanyu is so charming and beautiful. Roshna has a bright moon in the sky and a broad mind. Sitting together, it seems that everyone is beautiful, and the colors of the world are all the same.
After the dinner was over, everyone else went about their own business.
Her Royal Highness held Huo Qubing on her arm and walked slowly in the inner courtyard of her house.
There is a bamboo forest in the back house. The dim light of the bright moon and stars shines through the gaps in the bamboo forest, and the ground seems to be covered with fine silver glow.
Liu Qing caressed his belly gently and smiled.
This period of time was the longest she and Huo Qubing had stayed together since their marriage. Huo Qubing did not go out in the past two months.
"My husband is going on an expedition again, isn't he?"
"The Huns could not afford another defeat and became cautious."
"If it's just Kang Ju and Da Yuezhi who can't start a war, I'm not sure whether they need to go out."
"It's best not to fight. If you leave, I'll be frightened and it won't be good for the baby in my belly." Liu Qing glanced at him and said.
The couple returned to the bedroom of the inner house.
Bathing and changing clothes, singing songs all night long.
Liu Qing wanted to have a baby and fell asleep soon after.
Huo Qubing put on his outer robe, went to the study room connected to the bedroom, and started practicing.
The military strength in his body is increasing day by day.
After his subordinates fought in battle and won, there was also a military spirit hidden in him, which was captured by Huo Qubing.
When he closed his eyes and practiced, the strength in his body surged, and the little military palace he carried with him was further developed.
Many array patterns were derived from the military palace, turning into a complex military array, absorbing the power of heaven and earth, and constantly deducing more array changes.
Formation patterns rippled and spread on the ground beneath Huo Qubing's body, matching the military power of Lang Zhongling, who controlled a hundred thousand forbidden troops and protected Chang'an.
The huge military formation actually covered the entire Chang'an, and the fortune was as strong as the sun.
In Huo Qubing's sea of consciousness, several military symbols Guangxi circulated, echoing with the expansion of the small military mansion.
And in the sea of consciousness, there are still several symbols written in the ancient well, shining like stars.
A purple symbol was obtained by Feng Chan.
There is another golden symbol, shining brightly, and five pale silver symbols, shining like stars.
The purple symbol corresponds to the destiny of the military strategist, accommodates the destiny of the Han Dynasty, and is most compatible with the destiny of the beauty scheme.
He plans to add it to the honey trap to see if he can push the honey trap to the next level.
Shang Ce's improvement in magical power has been very significant.
What will be the effect of taking the best policy?
In the sea of consciousness, the purple-colored symbols began to move closer to the Beauty Strategy Bing Jian that was ranked first in the military book.
Boom!
Around Huo Qubing, there was an electric arc tearing through the void.
Behind him, a lavender halo of luck formed, boiling like fireworks, with a majestic purple spirit.
Between the purple symbol and the beauty trap, a stream of Qi was formed, and the purple halo trickled into the trap.
This symbol is not directly integrated into the Ji Jian. It raises the level of the military strategy, and the Qi machine is closely integrated with the Ji Jian.
But Huo Qubing could clearly feel that the honey trap was changing.
Until the end of his practice, the integration of symbols and plan slips was still not completed.
It seems that it will take some time to absorb the luck contained in the purple symbol... Huo Qubing thought.
At present, in his sea of consciousness, the beauty trap is the best strategy, and the best strategy is to hide from the sky and cross the sea. The remaining four strategies are middle strategies and eight are the worst strategies.
The sky will be bright.
Huo Qubing took a bath and changed clothes, put on his official robe and planned to go to court.
…
The night in Ulaanbaatar is very quiet, with strong winds blowing across the barren grasslands.
After winter, the temperature drops sharply.
Under the night, the war flag erected on the top of the royal tent hung out.
On the bed covered with animal skins, Yi Zhixie suddenly opened her eyes, turned over and sat up.
He stared intently, his pupils dilating for a moment due to shock.
A few feet in front of him, a black figure appeared like a ghost.
This figure actually avoided the soldiers on duty outside the king's tent and appeared in his sleeping tent.
Black energy gathered around the figure, swirling and flowing silently.
The figure in the air machine is tall and strong, as tall as a mountain, about a few feet above the ground, standing in the air.
After seeing the figure in front of him clearly, Yi Zhi said angrily: "Youdu, you finally came out!
What are you doing if you break into my tent late at night? "
The figure that emerged out of thin air was none other than Yudu, whom he had not seen for a long time, but it was not his physical body, but the manifestation of his soul, like a projection.
"I haven't finished my work yet, but the fortunes of various grassland areas have declined seriously, so I have to come out."
Yudu's voice seemed to be pushed from a long distance away, causing the entire void to vibrate.
"All the tribes in the grassland, including the Tianhun tribe under his command, were defeated by Huo Qubing and Wei Qing. Each tribe's thoughts were wandering and it was difficult to work together."
Yi Zhixi stood up from the couch and confronted each other tit for tat: "At the most critical moment of the war with Han, where were you?
Do you know that if we throw away the countries in the Western Regions and our grassland tribes, it will be like losing our arms? How can the national destiny not decline?
In the war of nations, you, as the commander, are not on the battlefield. You have a great responsibility for the defeat of the previous tribes. "
Yudu said in a low voice: "What I am doing is more important than the victory or defeat of the war."
"What on earth are you doing and when will you come back?" Yi Zhixie suppressed his anger.
"Hurry, I will come out when this is over."
Yudu said: "I came here to remind you not to stare at the big man all the time.
I had a strategy before, but you didn't do what I said.
Han's population, military strength, and strength were all at their peak. It was very difficult to shake up its national destiny.
So I let you explore other areas. Attacking other places is much simpler than attacking the Han Dynasty, and it can strengthen the national destiny of our Xiongnu, and the victory it brings can reunite the morale of the army.
Promote the national destiny to a certain level, and then gather all your strength to collide with the Han Dynasty.
Blinded by hatred, you only focus on competing with the Han, and go to the east and west to defeat the countries in other lands. The horses in our grassland are agile in battle, and they are born to go on expeditions.
Why doesn’t the Great Chanyu let our horses’ hooves set foot on a wider territory? "
Yudu's figure disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
Thousands of miles north of Ulaanbaatar, the icy lake.
In the dark belly of the mountain, Yue had been sitting cross-legged for several months.
He breathed in and out of energy, completely abandoning the process of ordinary people needing to eat to stay alive.
The strange thing is that the headless skeleton found in the stone urn was sitting cross-legged opposite him when Yu was in the depths of this underground palace.
On the ten-foot-high frame, a little spot of light flows like a mantra, convection with the Qi machine of Yudu.
At this moment, Yudu suddenly opened his eyes and spoke hesitantly.
The breath on the skeleton was absorbed by him bit by bit, swallowed into his body, and disappeared at an extremely slow speed.
————
Deep inside the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
Inside the sealed giant coffin, behind the mountain-like copper door, mist billowed.
A voice whispered: "The Qin Emperor wanted to use the destiny of a country to unite with the vast land of China to ban me, but unfortunately his calculations were a little wrong..."
And as this voice sounded, after Yudu left Ulaanbaatar, a gleam of light jumped out of the void and landed in the king's tent.
Yi Zhixie was shocked and confused.
This night was a series of unexpected events.
"Come here!" Yi Zhi shouted sternly.
When the glimmer of light settled in front of him, it turned out to be a jade sword.
It cursed the destruction of civilization, and the handwriting of the Huns appeared: "Don't be nervous, I can help the Huns and defeat the Han."
"Who are you?"
"I...belong to the Immortal Lord!"
————
It's December.
Chang'an, Huo Qubing holds a scroll in his hand.
He planned to build a system of six lieutenants and ten lieutenants under the command of the Forbidden Army.
The current level of school captains includes Zhao Anji, Yao Zhao, Zhao Ponu, Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing, Su Jia and others, a total of eight school captains.
The Zhonglang general level includes Tong Xuan, Liu Yi and other inherent generals of the Forbidden Army.
Huo Qubing planned to make some adjustments. After a period of training, Gao Bu Shi and Pupeng could be promoted to the position of supplementary school captain.
Zhao Anji, Yao Zhao, Zhao Ponu, Fu Luzhi and others will be promoted to Zhonglang General one after another.
The more senior generals, Zhang Cigong and Li Gan, could barely count.
Huo Qubing made some calculations and found that good generals were hard to find.
There are many generals available to him, but they all have shortcomings and flaws, making it difficult for them to act alone and need to be used together.
The Kaibing Mansion has been screening for so long, but not a single good candidate has been found.
Zhao Ponu, Fu Luzhi, and Xiong San have successively broken through to the Heavenly Realm, and are already the ones with the fastest progress and the best talents.
"Among the generals of the Han Dynasty, except for my uncle and I, Li Guang and Cheng Wushi are currently at the military formation level in the third realm of heaven and man. Li Gan and Zhang Cigong are in the second realm. There are also two border prefects and four other generals. They are in the second and third realms respectively. The rest are in the first realm of heaven and human beings."
Huo Qubing collected the slips and came to the Xiuyi Hall in deep thought to meet Ru Bohu.
"Now, you asked me to explore the situation of body poisoning and the countries west of the Western Region."
Ru Bohu handed over a simple book: "There is news from preliminary investigation."
Huo Qubing took the file in his hand, looked through it and his expression changed slightly:
"Some people in the southwest often hear an ancient sound, and at night they dream of figures emitting golden light. Do people think it is a good omen?"
"Yes, there are similar reports throughout the southwest border. There are quite a few people saying that they heard the sound of chanting scriptures spreading through the void.
I've arranged for someone to go check it out. " Ru Bohu said.
Huo Qubing: "It should be someone who is poisoned. He is secretly preaching on the border of our Han Dynasty and influencing the people with his practice."
"Your subordinates Xiu Yi must be careful. Once they discover someone who is poisonous, do not be polite and will not allow them to spread among my big man."
Ru Bohu responded and said:
"You asked me to send people to the southeast coast to look for the indestructible boat left by the Qin Dynasty and floating on the sea for hundreds of years. I also sent back some news."
"The team that went to investigate said that the most recent time was two years ago, when fishermen were fishing along the East China Sea, heavy fog suddenly appeared on the sea, and a huge ship as big as a mountain broke through the waves and cruised in the fog for at least a quarter of an hour before leaving. go.
There were many fishermen on the boat at that time, and they all saw the big boat appearing, so it must be true.
And the people on the boat also heard a voice, like calling the word "Your Majesty" repeatedly... The fishermen said that it was a ghost boat left by the Qin Dynasty. The souls of the Qin Emperor sent overseas to search for immortals were always on the boat. Not dispersed. "
Ru Bohu wondered: "Why are you suddenly interested in the rumors about this coast and the ancient ships left by Qin Dynasty?"
Huo Qubing was worried that Emperor Qin had left clues in the hand scroll, saying that something was on the Da Qin ship that was sailing to find immortals, and asked whoever got his hand scroll to get it themselves.
"Clues from two years ago..."
Huo Qubing thought for a while: "Please help me keep an eye on it and notify me immediately if there is any new news." After saying this, he stood up and left.
At noon two days later, the embroiderer sent a new message.
The Huns are on the move.
