I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 410 The three members of the Huo family reunited after the disaster. Huo Guang only knew that he was drunk and dreaming, but he was not as good as a mere woman!
At dusk, the frightened Huo Xian finally returned to Huo's house where things were different.

When he left the violent prison, Huo Xian was mentally prepared for the dilapidation of Huo Zhai, but when he actually walked in, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

For some reason, some of the swordsmen and halberd warriors inside and outside the gate have withdrawn, and there are also fewer officials in Tingwei Temple.

But in just a few days, the Huo residence was in ruins, and everything looked like a depression.

Coupled with the snow that no one had cleared anymore, Huo Xian felt even more lonely.

Under the glare of the swordsman, Huo Xian kept moving forward in the familiar corridor. He looked at the white and black seals on the courtyard door and the room door without saying a word.

Why did the Huo family lose so quickly, with absolutely no power to fight back? What went wrong?
The answer is obvious, it is nothing more than Huo's excessive greed and evil thoughts, but Huo Xian is still unwilling to face it directly

Finally, after this exhausting journey, Huo Xian arrived outside the courtyard of Zhongdi.

Before he even walked in, Huo Xian met the lame old slave Zuo Qi outside the courtyard. He was holding a small plan, which should be sent to the bedroom of Zhongdi.

"Ah! Madam?" Zuo Qi, who was nearly sixty years old, exclaimed.

Zuo Qi is an old slave who followed Huo Guang from Pingyang County, Hedong County to Chang'an. The relationship between master and servant has been 50 to [-] years.

So he was one of Huo Xian's few domestic slaves who didn't know how to beat or scold him - of course, Huo Xian didn't have any respect for Zuo Qi.

"How are you these days, General?" Huo Xian asked as coldly as ever.

"Okay, okay, General, everything is fine. It's just that I drink more and more Xuanjiu. I have to drink it in one day..." Zuo Qi, whose face was full of wrinkles, hesitated to speak.

Ever since the emperor invented Xuanjiu and was the first to reward it to Huo Guang, he could no longer live without it.

Especially in the past two months, Huo Guang drank more and more Xuanjiu every day because he had a lot of worries.

Huo Xian looked at the wine and then at the quiet bedroom in the courtyard. He didn't speak, but he felt a little unhappy.

At this moment, her mood had gradually calmed down, and she had to quickly discuss a charter with the two men at home.

"Is there enough wine for the day?"

"That's enough, the county magistrate Renyi did not withhold food and wine."

"Is Yu'er back?"

"The young general was taken into custody at noon today... and was sent back. He is currently resting in the side room."

"Is Yu'er injured?" Huo Xian asked anxiously. Unexpectedly, the emperor really released Huo Yu back?

"Although he is a little haggard, he is not injured and everything is fine." Zuo Qi raised his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes as he spoke.

Huo Yu has almost been watched by Zuo Qi growing up, so when he talks about Huo Yu, he naturally feels sad for her.

Ordinary people in the Han Dynasty are so strange. Many times they only talk about feelings, regardless of right or wrong.

Just like this Zuo Qi, he lost all his land due to land annexation, and then his family sold themselves into the Huo family as slaves.

After that, Zuo Qi's family worked for the Huo family for several generations: Zuo Qi was a slave, his chaff was a maid, and so were his descendants.

But not only did Zuo Qi not hate anyone in the Huo family, he felt that this disaster for his master's family was an unforeseen disaster.

Unlike those evil slaves who bully others, Zuo Qi is honest and does his duty. He has never done anything wrong or taken too much food. His total net worth is probably only six to seven thousand dollars.

Although life is extremely miserable, it is difficult to understand how to empathize with the superior general.

However, there are many people like Zuo Qi, and I don't know whether they are kind or stupid.

"Have Yu'er met the general?"

"After the young general came back, he went to the main room to say hello to the general..." Zuo Qi said in a low voice, "Today, the swordsmen and halberds have withdrawn a lot, and I can finally have a few private words."

"Is the general...is the general angry?" Huo Xian asked hurriedly.

"More than being angry... the general cursed a lot, and seemed to have been saying that the young general was rebellious and wild, and later he even broke things..." Zuo Qi said with lingering fear.

I'm afraid not only did things get smashed, Huo Yu might also have been beaten.

Huo Xian smiled a bit paranoid and mean, and actually felt relieved.

It seems that Huo Guang already knows everything, which is better this way and saves the need for explanation later.

Those conspiracies that Huo Guang had done behind his back came to light, and there was no need to cover them up.

My husband will probably put aside his nonsense about being a big man and a loyal minister, and try hard to think of other ways to break the situation.

Now this Huo Zhai is like a broken ship. It is already riddled with holes. The river water is still pouring in, and it is about to sink.

No matter what, you have to think about it again and don't just wait to die.

Even if you only have a day or two, you have to think about it!
When Huo Xian was wandering in Chang'an City, he experienced many narrow escapes. Didn't he finally save his life when he was about to starve to death?
At that time, except for his youth, Huo Xian had nothing and was even worse than he is now.

However, Huo Xian survived at that time, and many opportunities came later.

When it comes to survival, probably no one in the entire Han Empire is as persistent as Huo Xian.

"Is this tonight's dinner?" Huo Xian asked.

"Yes, there is still food in the dining room. The old slave has to go get it later. Now it is cooked by the palace cook. The county magistrate is still thinking about the general..." Zuo Qi said nonchalantly.

"Let me bring this wine in. You go to the side room and call Yu'er to have a meal with you. Then go to the dining room and bring the rest of the food."

"No!" Zuo Qi smiled happily. He had never been as happy as he was at this moment in the past few days.

Huo Xian took the small plan from Zuo Qi and walked straight towards the bedroom in the courtyard.

All the way to the door, he hesitated for a moment before opening the door and walking in.

Compared with the bedrooms of ordinary wealthy families, Huo Guang and Huo Xian's bedrooms are naturally much larger.

There is a main hall in the middle, a study room on the left, and an inner room with beds on the right.

At this moment, the lights in the room were dim and filled with a pungent smell of alcohol, which made Huo Xian frown.

After his eyes adjusted for a moment, Huo Xiancai saw a group of figures on the couch in the main hall - shoulders slumped, gray hair disheveled, holding a cup in one hand and a pot in the other...

It was Huo Guang.He was thinking to himself and muttering to himself, like a crazy person in the northern city.

The aura of decadence and incompetence emanated from the black shadow and merged with the darkness in the room, making Huo Xian feel disgusted - she was not as good as a woman like herself.

The entire bedroom was in a mess, the valuable ornaments had been cleared away, and many boxes were left open, as if they were laughing with their mouths open at the Huo family's downfall.

"Did you find the wine?" Huo Guang lowered his head and said vaguely.

"The wine is here, but let me tie up the general's hair first."

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, and then the white head slowly lifted up, and his cloudy eyes stared at Huo Xian from the loose hair.

Without the powerful aphrodisiac of power, Huo Guang, a strong man, collapsed.

He had recognized Huo Xian, but he showed no movement or expression.

Compared with Huo Guang's desolation, Huo Xian became more and more calm. She put down the wine in her hand, found a comb, walked behind Huo Guang, and tied his hair.

From the beginning to the end, Huo Xian's movements were extremely gentle and without any stagnation, which was exactly the same as the movements he had made countless times in the past few decades. It seemed that nothing had happened in the past few days.

Not long after, Huo Guang's messy hair was finally tied up, and when he revealed his face, he looked a bit more majestic than a general.

But his cloudy eyes, swollen eye bags, trembling hands, wrinkles carved by a knife, dark purple face and chapped lips... made him look more like a waning old man.

Huo Xian didn't say anything. He calmly came to Huo Guang and knelt down.

"Husband, a few days ago, I was a bitch who went crazy. She spoke indiscriminately and said stupid things. Today I come here to apologize to my husband."

Huo Xian finished speaking a little coldly and bowed down solemnly: his slender body curved into a beautiful arc, which made people think.

This venomous woman seemed to admit her mistake, but she did not deny what she said that day.

At this point, what difference does it make whether we deny those evil deeds or whether we pursue those evil deeds?
It seemed that only a moment passed, and it seemed that a long time passed. A heavy sigh sounded in the room, and something seemed to be broken.

"Get up." Huo Guang said vaguely his first words after the two met.

Huo Xian finally straightened up and said: "The county magistrate said that there is no evidence to prove the concubine's crime, so he asked me to come back and have an abortion with my husband and Yu'er to share the happiness of family."

"The county magistrate is kind." Huo Guang sighed again.

"Zuo Qi has already gone to prepare dinner. He will be there in a few minutes. Our family can also have a reunion dinner." Huo Xian stood up after saying this.

At this moment, Huo Yu also happened to appear outside the door of the dormitory. There was a bruise on his forehead, which must have been Huo Guang's work.

For a moment, the three members of the family, who had not been reunited for several months, looked at each other in silence, but in fact they completed communication and reconciliation in silence.

"Sit down, I'll have dinner with you later," Huo Guang said.

"promise."

Not long after, the old slave Zuo Qi limped over and brought the food up and placed it on several people's tables.

Perhaps it was because Huo Xian came back in a hurry and the food prepared by the waiters was not enough, so compared to the usual mountains of meat and sea of ​​meat, it seemed a little shabby.

A small bowl of steamed rice with polished rice, a piece of grilled half-fat but not lean mutton, a bowl of water shield egg custard plus some squid stored in the summer.

It’s all about eating.

In addition to these meals, there was a small pot of warmed Xuan wine in front of the three people.

Although the old slave Zuo Qi was lame in one leg, he was very good at what he did. After setting out the food and wine, he immediately lit up the charcoal fire and lit a few more lamps.

After all this busy work, Zuo Qi finally restored some vitality to the dormitory.

"Zuo Qi, please step aside. Over the past ten years, you have done a lot for our Huo family." Huo Guang said slowly.

Zuo Qi was frightened and quickly put down the things in his hands and bowed down in front of Huo Guang.

"The general said something serious, this is my duty as an old slave!"

"That lame leg of yours was trampled off when you tried to stop the fierce horse that was charging at Yu'er. The Huo family has never expressed it. It's really a shame."

"It's all the old slave's responsibility!" Zuo Qi choked up.

"Yu'er, Zuo Qi is your savior. Pay obeisance to him. If there is an afterlife, he will be regarded as his savior." Huo Guang said.

Huo Yu frowned and glanced at Zuo Qi with dissatisfaction, not wanting to stand up.

However, under Huo Guang's gaze, Huo Yu reluctantly stood up and bowed hastily to Zuo Qi, who quickly returned the salute.

"How are your relatives?" Huo Guang asked.

"They've all been imprisoned in prison..." Zuo Qi's face filled with vicissitudes of life became more worried.

"In the past, when the Huo family was still getting along, they never treated you better; now that the city gate is on fire, it will affect Chiyu." Huo Guang said with a helpless smile.

Zuo Qi didn't speak, but loyally lowered his body lower again.

"If I had known this, I should have given you more rewards in normal times, so that I wouldn't feel guilty at this time."

"General, don't say any more..." Zuo Qi was already crying.

"Don't worry, the county magistrate is a benevolent gentleman and won't make things difficult for you. Maybe he will give you a way out."

"General..." Zuo Qi was already in tears, but Huo Xian and Huo Yu remained expressionless.

"You go back."

"promise!"

Zuo Qi left, and the door was gently closed.

In the past few days, although the door of this dormitory could be closed, there were four swordsmen and swordsmen in the room staring at Huo Guang at all times. These swordsmen and swordsmen only withdrew today.

Now, the swordsman closest to them was also at the courtyard gate of Zhongdi, which gave Huo Guang some dignity.

"Let's have a meal." Huo Guang, the head of the family, spoke. Huo Xian and Huo Yu obeyed and immediately started using their chopsticks.
