Luo nine needles

In just one sentence, Mr. Liang stood up straight and strode out. The person next to him seemed to have just slapped Huo Lian.

Here Liang Erzi grabbed Liuzi Liang who wanted to take the opportunity to slap him too, and the brothers left quickly.

Mr. Liang walked very fast, without stopping for a moment. The officials he knew in the imperial city wanted to talk but didn't stop him, and they didn't stop until they walked outside the palace gate.

The officials of the Ministry of Military Rituals had long been left behind, and the Liang Erzi brothers were also a little out of breath.

"Brother, see." Liang Liuzi almost blurted out, hell, thinking about seeing His Majesty just now, you can't say hell, "then Huo Lian will hit you, why are you running, I'm afraid he will hit you."

Sorry again.

"I haven't had time to slap yet."

Before he finished speaking, the eldest son turned around and gave him a slap.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense to him again!" Mr. Liang shouted in a low voice.

Liang Liuzi was stunned by the beating, and then he was angry and wronged: "Why! Why can't I talk nonsense to him! Brother! You protected him when you were young, and you still protect him every time he bullies me. "

When he was a child, when he heard these three words, Liang Dazi looked disappointed, and looked behind him, as if he was also looking at the past.

The adoptive sons of Liang Temple are all adopted orphans from the northern border. They are of different ages. The eighth son is the youngest. big.

He was a smart and lovely child who knew everything and could be taught. The other adoptive sons also invited teachers, but they were all able to read and write. Only the eight sons could not be taught by ordinary teachers. Liang Si even invited him He became a famous teacher, and even taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At that time, many people in the military camp joked that Liang Si wanted Ba Zi to be selected as a scholar to become a civil servant, but Liang Si did not object at all.

"My eight sons are geniuses in the sky, capable of literary and military affairs, and able to stabilize the country." Liang Si said triumphantly.

That kid didn't live up to the praise. In addition to being good at reading, he was also on the battlefield earlier than other brothers. He killed the enemy at the age of 13. Although he was a little unfamiliar and a little scared, he did better and better since then. He has a bright mind and is good at surprise attacks. Many times made everyone fearful, but returned safely with military exploits.

Mr. Liang knew that it was not his eldest son who would take over the mantle of Liangsi and lead the Beihai Navy in the future, it must be the eighth son.

But who would have thought that the boy's fame would not be on the battlefield in the end.

However, that is a more terrifying situation than the battlefield. If it is not the eight sons, if it is any of their brothers, the fate will definitely be different.

Dazi Liang took a deep breath and looked at Liuzi Liang and the others.

"I know you resent him." He said, looking at the others, "but have you ever thought that to resent him is to believe that the righteous father conspired against him? Do you believe that the righteous father conspired against him?"

Liang Erzi and the others looked stiff.

"Brother, the imperial court has convicted us, it's not something we can think about." Liang Erzi said in a hoarse voice.

To believe that Liang Si did not seek rebellion is to question the court's punishment.

If they dare to question the court's punishment, they will also be guilty of the same crime, and the Beihai Navy will also be guilty of the same crime.

They were not afraid of being convicted and sentenced to death, but they were afraid that the soldiers of the Beihai Navy would be harmed.

So they have never dared to think about it for so many years, and they are not qualified to think about it.

Liang Dazi naturally knew it too.

"But what kind of person is the adoptive father and what kind of person is the eighth son." He whispered, "Others don't know, but we know it in our hearts."

Liang Si, who knows how to be loyal to the emperor and love the people, will not seek rebellion, and the eighth son who knows how to respect his adoptive father will not kill his father.

The pain on the faces of Liang Erzi and others is precisely because they are clear in their hearts, but it is more painful to see the facts with their eyes.

"Then think about it, without Huo Lian." Mr. Liang said, "Would we be able to live till now?"

Can't you?Liang Erzi and the others were stunned again.

"The eighth son exchanged his own life for Huo Lian." Mr. Liang said in a low voice, "Standing between Bei Hai Hai and His Majesty, when Your Majesty wants to see Bei Hai Hai, he will see Huo Lian first."

If there was no Huo Lian, how long would they have survived in the emperor's sight as adopted sons who killed the crown prince and held the military power?

The trampling of the horse's hooves broke the stagnation of the few people in front of the city gate. Mr. Liang took the reins, got on his horse, and looked back at the imperial city. The palace was so deep that the young man kneeling in the imperial study could not be seen.

"Go!" He urged the horse forward.

The attendant in the imperial study presented the ginseng tea to the emperor.

"Brothers of the Liang family seldom enter the palace." The servant said with a smile, "I don't know the rules, so I even slapped Huo Dudu while he was kneeling."

The emperor was expressionless when he heard this, and the servant conveyed what he had seen, and said no more. Just as he was about to back away, the outside reported: "Lord Liu, please see me."

The emperor put the ginseng tea in his hand on the table with a bang.

"Doesn't this Liu Yan know how tired His Majesty is!" The servant said angrily, "Why are you still here?"

After all, I begged the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest, you can't suffer any longer!"

But the emperor did not follow his words to rest, looked at the shaking Shencha, and said: "Xuan!"

Liu Yan came in quickly, knelt down first when entering the door, knocked hard, and said nothing.

The emperor said coldly: "If Master Liu is also here to kneel, just go outside and kneel."

Liu Yan raised his head: "Kneeling outside is for others to see, I just want His Majesty to see."

The emperor sneered again: "Sitting on this high throne, what can I see? Even the most trusted people around me can't see through."

After knowing the identity of the rich man, the emperor naturally knew that the rich man was related to Liu Yan. After all, the story of the savior had already been reported by the inspector.

In addition, Liu Yan later took the initiative to pursue Momen.

Looking back at this moment, Uncle Li Guo is nothing at all, and Huo Lian is nothing at all, and Liu Yan is the one who hides the deepest.

"Liu Yan, I really underestimated you."

Liu Yan said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Today I come to plead guilty." After that, I will talk about my past with Yan, the craftsman girl, and my contacts with the rich man. How did I find the real old man's daughter, one by one. After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again, "Although I tried my best to monitor Momen, I did deceive His Majesty out of selfishness. I should be guilty of the same crime as Motu. Please give me death."

The emperor looked at Liu Yan, who was prostrate on the ground, and said coldly: "Don't worry, there are so many cases, one by one, and they will be punished when they should die."

There are so many cases. A thought flashed in Liu Yan's mind.

"Your Majesty, Jingzhao Mansion has reported that the murderer of Liu Wenchang's case has surrendered." He raised his head, "In addition, Miss Xia Hou reported Lu Yi's murder to Jingzhao Mansion, because Motu was involved, and I ask the third division to try the two cases together."

The emperor looked at him and sneered: "Okay, if you dare to interrogate, I will let you interrogate."

Liu Yan looked at the emperor: "After the trial of these cases, I will ask the third judge to hide the Motu case." After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

Liu Yan withdrew, and the emperor raised his hand and pressed his forehead after writing the desk, his gloomy face couldn't hide his exhaustion.

"Your Majesty." The servant knelt down and pleaded, "You really need to rest, you can't suffer any longer."

The emperor was silent for a moment: "Let Huo Lian in."

The servant was a little surprised. In the past, Huo Lian made a mistake and knelt outside, but His Majesty ignored it. Anyway, he knelt for others to see. He could do whatever he was supposed to do when he knelt. Why did the emperor just knelt for a while? came in?
The servant didn't dare to delay and immediately went outside to spread the word. Huo Lian didn't hesitate after hearing this, got up and walked in, then knelt down in the hall without saying a word.

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going to plead guilty?"

Huo Lian said: "I know my crime, and I will settle it myself, so I don't need to say it."

The emperor sneered: "You are amazing, whether you are guilty or not is your own business, and has nothing to do with me."

Huo Lian lowered her eyes and said: "Those past events have nothing to do with Your Majesty. Your Majesty has already endured the pain of losing a loved one, and you have to endure the confusion of truth and falsehood. Although you are the Son of Heaven, it is too unfair to you." .”

The emperor looked at the memorials piled up on the table, with a slightly sad expression: "I never thought of being the emperor."

I really didn't think about it.

Because I am not qualified to think.

This is something that I dare not even think about.

But that relative left suddenly, and another relative became a conspiracy, and this day's great luck fell on him.

What is it called?destiny.
The emperor stood behind the table and his expression changed.

"Huo Lian." He called.

Holly raised her head.

The emperor looked at him: "You know the truth, you have been by my side for so many years, do you have any complaints?"

Huo Lian shook her head: "Back then, my adoptive father asked me to do it and told me that what I did was to protect the country and the people, to be loyal to the emperor and to love the country. Later, I did the same in front of His Majesty. I did the right thing, without any complaints, and willingly. "

He looked at the emperor.

"The minister's adoptive father is indeed guilty. If he is guilty, he should be punished. It is just and right. I never hold any grudges."

"This time, I told these old things because I didn't want His Majesty to be deceived and to make the right decision."

The emperor looked at him for a moment, then nodded: "You are right, the guilty should be punished, Liang Bazi, how do you want me to punish you?"

Huo Lian leaned over: "Your Majesty, please punish me and lead the Northern Navy."

The emperor's eyes widened slightly, and he let out a heh.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Huo Lian raised her head again and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, please let Huo Lian lead the Northern Navy."

His eyes were dark and frightening.

The emperor still remembered that the young man was standing in the main hall of the palace with Liang Si's head in his hands. He was the only prince who was doing nothing in the side hall and called over. Scared.

There is no humanity, no desire in those eyes, only the rolling hostility. Once they look at each other, it seems that they can drag you into the deep sea without seeing the light of day.

So much so that for so many years, he never dared to look Huo Lian in the eye.

Now, the emperor looked at Huo Lian, there was no hostility in those deep eyes, only calm, like a pool of water, you can see the reflection.

"I'm not Liang Bazi." Huo Lian knelt and took a step forward, looking at the emperor, "I belong to Your Majesty, Huo Lian."

The emperor looked at him for a moment, sighed lightly, and let go of the hand held by his side.

"I have made my own decision." He said lightly, "Just step back."

The emperor went to rest, but the imperial city did not fall into silence, and the capital was still as lively as ever.

There was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city.

A black horse and a man in black galloped past the city gate, so fast that even the gate guards couldn't see it clearly.

"who?"

"It seems to be the robe of Duchas."

Hearing this, the city gate guard immediately stopped asking, Duchasi, just pretend you didn't see it.

In the village at the foot of the West Mountain, the snow has melted, and the village road is somewhat muddy, but it does not affect the speed of the horse's hooves at all. The old man squatting at the entrance of the village, squatting and dozing, opened his eyes before the sound of the horse's hoofs, and squinted his eyes. He didn't stop him, he just waved his hand.

"Horses are not allowed to enter the village." He said, looking at the knife in Huo Lian's waist again, "Weapons are not allowed to enter."

Huo Lian took off the knife without saying a word, hung it on the horse's back, and strode inward.

Standing in front of the courtyard door, his footsteps paused slightly, and he seemed to take a light breath before pushing the door open and entering.

There were not many people in the yard. A girl was squatting under the eaves and brewing medicine, when she saw him raise her hand to say hello, "Huo Dudu is here."

Huo Lian still remembered the girl she met in the north, so she nodded.

Chen Shi came out from the room, looked at Huo Lian curling her lips.

"How is she?" Holly asked.

"It's okay, something really happened. It's too late for Governor Huo to ask after so long." Chen Shi said.

Huo Lian didn't care about his yin and yang, he always wanted to come, but he didn't do a good job in front of the emperor, which would only make her more dangerous.

A weak female voice came from the room.

"Brother Stone."

Chen Daxi: "The little girl is awake." Turned around and went in.

Huo Lian also had joy in her eyes, and hurriedly followed in.

Sitting by the bed, Chen Shi asked in a loud voice, "Are you hungry or thirsty? Do you drink water?" He choked up again, "Little girl, you finally woke up. I was scared to death. What if you have something to do with me? live."

The woman on the bed raised her hand slightly, as if to comfort her: "Brother Shitou, don't be afraid, I'm fine."

Huo Lian stepped in, the footsteps made the person on the bed pause, and then looked over.

After being injured again, the woman's face became thinner and her skin was almost transparent. Her eyes were a little hazy, as if she hadn't adjusted to waking up yet, but she soon met Huo Lian's gaze and instantly condensed it, but the next moment, the condensed vision was like a cloud Spreading out, she lowered her gaze.

"Stand aside." Chen Shi snorted at Huo Lian, and then called out, "The medicine is here, Ah Mao, the medicine is here."

There was a cat's response outside, but Huo Lian in the room did not stand away, but stared at the person on the bed, the joy in his eyes dissipated, and his expression became strange.

"You..." He took a sudden step forward, staring at the woman lying on the bed, "Who is it?!"

There is no update tomorrow, return trip.
