I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 423: The murderous intention comes suddenly, Huo Yun dies tragically; the father and son reconcile, and use the Huns’ curve to save the Han!
After escaping from the city, the Huo people left Chang'an City behind and walked for more than a mile before finally stopping to take a breath.

Huo Yu dismounted, untied Huo Guang, and removed the linen from his mouth, but what he got in return was a loud slap in the face.

"Father, at this point, I'm afraid you will have no choice but to follow your child to the Huns." Huo Yu said unmoved.

"You're such a bastard, the Huo family has been ruined by your hands. I regret giving birth to you." Huo Guang angrily scolded with red eyes.

"If the Huo family is not destroyed, it will be destroyed. When the Xiongnu comes, the child will definitely create a new foundation!" Huo Yu said unruly.

"How can a person like you, who has no king in his heart and no father in his eyes, be able to achieve success one day?"

"It's okay if my father doesn't believe me. If you come back to Chang'an City in the future, you will naturally change your mind."

Huo Guang didn't say anything anymore. Now in the field, what's the use of saying this again?

The overflowing water cannot be recovered, and the river will not flow backwards. After leaving Chang'an City, there is no possibility of turning back.

"Father, we will meet up with Huo Yun first, and then go to Mobei. With the imperial edict issued by the county magistrate, we will be able to travel smoothly."

"This county magistrate is really crazy. He can issue such a chaotic edict. God helps me. Why should my father stick to his reputation of loyalty and filial piety for a while?"

Huo Yu kept persuading, but Huo Guang did not refute. He just said coldly: "No matter how you argue, I can only follow you."

"Father is wise!" After Huo Yu said this, he didn't waste any more words. He immediately mounted his horse and led several people to a farm in the north city.

According to the original plan, Huo Yu and others were to meet up with Huo Yun's private army at that farm, and then retreat all the way north with the help of false talismans.

After walking for about three or four miles, a few people came to the fence of the farm, but before they even rode in, Huo Yu and Huo Shan discovered something strange.

This huge farm was unexpectedly quiet. Not only was there no one there to respond, but the farm was also completely dark, and there was no noise or neighing of people or horses.

Huo Yu did not dare to be careless, so he sent Huo Shan in first to investigate and make contact, while he and his parents waited outside the village.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the wind and snow are blowing again, and it is getting stronger and stronger.

The three members of the Huo family rode their horses and stopped under a locust tree outside the farm. They kept a certain distance intentionally or unintentionally and did not say a word.

They just looked in the direction of Chang'an City from time to time, fearing that the emperor would regret it and send pursuers to kill them again.

Huo Guang regained some of his energy, and he had already accepted his fate: all his fame, fortune, and wealth would be in vain, and he would have to live on.

After a moment of burning incense, a man on horseback appeared and ran from the farm.

Huo Yu was overjoyed at first, but when he saw that the person coming was Huo Shan, he was shocked again: something must have happened in the farm!

Huo Shan stumbled over on horseback. Before Huo Yu could ask, he said with horror on his face: "Dead, all our people are dead!"

"What happened?" Huo Yu exclaimed.

"All the private soldiers were killed, and their bodies were neatly placed in the main hall. Their heads were chopped off and placed in their arms!"

"Together with the dozen or so slaves in the farm, they all..."

Huo Shan is a veteran who climbed out of the sea of ​​blood from the corpse mountain and will never be frightened by dozens of dead people.

Now that he is so panicked, he must have seen a very horrifying sight: there are many reasons for killing, and the neatly arranged corpses can only be used to intimidate and show off.

"Where is Huo Yun?" Huo Yu asked anxiously.

"He's dead too! His head was cut off too!"

"Who dares..." Huo Yu held back for a moment and didn't know how to continue.

"The inside and outside of the farmhouse were very clean, and the perpetrators retreated calmly..."

The angry Huo Yu originally wanted to continue asking, but Huo Guang, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Don't forget, the county magistrate said that only the Huo family was allowed to go to the Huns, but that did not include the private military here. song."

Huo Guang's slightly sarcastic and desperate tone made the other people stunned.

He realized that he had made a mistake, actually believing that the emperor would really let more than a hundred of them leave in a mighty manner.

"Huo Shan, go check again and see if there is anyone else..."

"Don't go back! Since you are escaping, don't think about escaping openly. It is a blessing to be able to escape quietly like this!" Huo Xian, whose face was red from the cold, screamed.

"That's all."

……

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the wind and snow are getting stronger and stronger.

Although Huo Yu and others had a full meal today, several hours had passed since then.

In addition, he experienced many twists and turns and scares, and the food in his belly had already been digested.

The hunger and cold were unbearable, and the body and mind were exhausted.

Huo Yu and Huo Shan can still hold on, but Huo Guang and Huo Xian are already crumbling.

Even the war horses under their crotches were stumbling, walking slower and slower, as if they were about to collapse on the roadside at any time.

According to the original plan, after Huo Yu and Huo Yun met at the farm, they would go directly to Wuyuan County quickly.

Now that this plan has been shattered, they can only use the fake talisman prepared in advance and borrow the talismans along the way to go to Wuyuan County.

Although this will be slower, it is the most reliable method.

After all, there is a distance of two to three thousand miles from Chang'an City to Wuyuan County, and there are countless deep mountains and forests in between.

Not only were jackals, tigers and leopards salivating, but bandits were also eyeing them. Huo Yu and the other four of them might be in danger somewhere.

If you choose the lesser of the two, you can only "borrow" the inheritance along the way.

At the end of their journey, the four of them, physically and mentally exhausted, walked to a birch forest.

Because it was already late winter, the leaves on the birch trees on both sides of the official road had fallen off, leaving only stiff trunks and strong dead branches.

At this time, the wind and snow finally stopped, and the moon appeared vaguely on the dome.Perhaps it was because the sky had been cleaned by heavy snow for several days, so it was particularly clear at the moment, and many stars could be seen twinkling.

I just don’t know why, but there is a circle of red around the round moon, shrouding the moon like a blood mist, making people frightened.

The pink moonlight spread over the surrounding falling snow, seeming to taint the flawless white snow with the smell of blood.

Huo Yu and the others were walking slowly on this quiet official road. They were extremely tired and their red eyes might close at any time.

Huo Yu and Huo Shan, one behind the other, put their hands on their swords, as if they wanted to pull out the swords at any time, but they didn't know if they could fight again.

Perhaps wanting to dilute the terrifyingly quiet atmosphere, Huo Yu couldn't wait to start talking.

"Father, after walking out of this forest, there will be a Chuanshe within seven or eight miles. I have a forged Talisman on me, so I can rest for a night."

"Yeah." Huo Guang, who was behind Huo Yu, replied in a muffled voice.

Not only because Huo Guang has not recovered from tonight's blow, but also because his physical strength has been exhausted.

Huo Guang hadn't left Chang'an City for an unknown amount of time, and he had once thought about walking outside Chang'an City after relinquishing power.

However, he never thought that he would leave Chang'an City in his current status.

He is in constant panic all day long, like a bereaved dog, or even worse than a bereaved dog.

Not only are the wealth and fame during his lifetime gone, but he will also be saddled with eternal infamy.

Decades of caution and hard work have all come to nothing.

There is nothing more tragic than this in life.

But is there really no way to restore the reputation? Not really.

When leaving the North City Gate, Huo Guang had one more chance to save his posthumous reputation. He could have struggled to stay.

Even at this moment, he could turn around and go back to Chang'an City to plead with the emperor, saying that it was not his intention to escape from Chang'an City.

Although you won't be forgiven by the emperor, you can at least ask the emperor to issue an edict to avoid the reputation of traitor.

However, Huo Guang did not do that.

Because at the moment when the horizontal door opened, he actually felt a little lucky and lucky despite his grief and anger.

Be glad that you can survive, and be lucky that you don't have to be punished.

At first, Huo Guang was unwilling to face him directly, so he could only give Huo Yu a slap in the face.

But now that he is getting farther and farther away from Chang'an City, the luck and luck in Huo Guang's heart are growing and rising.

After all, it feels really good to be alive.

That day in the Greenhouse Palace, Huo Guang promised the emperor that he would die calmly, and in the following days, he always thought so.

But, who doesn’t want to live?

Once Huo Guang tastes life, he will never be able to face death again.

"Father, don't blame the child anymore. What has happened is like this. There is no chance to look back. It's better to look forward."

"I am your child after all. If father and son join forces, those false reputations will naturally come back."

"Successful kings and defeated bandits, as long as people are still there, many things can be reversed."

"Just like the crazy emperor, don't look at him being so domineering today, but who can say for sure what will happen to him in the coming year?"

Huo Yu kept talking, and Huo Guang, who was getting weaker and weaker, finally spoke.

"Can the people who handle the situation in Wuyuan County be reliable?"

This was the first thing Huo Guang said after leaving Chang'an City. As soon as he said this, the other three people couldn't help being stunned, and then they reined in their horses.

From this simple sentence, they heard some hidden meaning, and they all stared at Huo Guang under the cover of night.

Asking this question means that Huo Guang's mind has changed, and the chance of success after arriving in the Xiongnu will be even higher.

"It's reliable. This person has known the boy for many years. He is a pottery dealer in Wuyuan County, and his family is quite wealthy."

"Although he has no official status, he is quite prestigious within the county. He also has trade routes in Mobei. In the past, all contacts with the Huns were through this person."

After hearing this, Huo Guang's expression did not become kind, but he nodded.

"The Huns are divided into many tribes, and each tribe has its own Chanyu. Which Chanyu are you contacting?" Huo Guang asked again.

"The person I contacted was Hu Yantuan Chanyu. In the letters he exchanged, he showed great respect for me and expressed his respect for his father many times. If he knew that his father was coming in person, he would definitely greet him on tiptoe."

Now Hu Yantuan is the well-deserved leader of all the Xiongnu tribes. He has at least more than [-] string-controllers under his command, as well as countless cattle and sheep.

"Humph, tiptoeing to welcome you? I'm afraid the Hu Yantang Chanyu you are talking about doesn't even wear shoes, right?" Huo Guang spoke contemptuously, but did not say any more offensive words.

Huo Yu noticed Huo Guang's relaxed attitude and naturally began to flatter him.

"Hu Yantuan is just a rat, how can he be compared with his father?"

"We are just using them. The Huns are barbarians and lack intelligence. They are stepping stones for us. In the future, we will definitely be able to save the Han people and create great achievements again. The people will also know our loyalty and filial piety."

Huo Yu's words of encouragement helped Huo Guang, and his face that was originally too pale due to exhaustion finally regained some rosiness.

"Don't underestimate Hu Yantuan Chanyu too much. Although the Xiongnu bandits are not benevolent and righteous, they are cunning and cunning people..."

"After arriving at the royal court, we must neither be humble nor arrogant, and must not bury the majesty of my great man." Huo Guang said very calmly.

"Yu'er, your father is giving you a hint, why don't you agree quickly?" Huo Xian urged with a cheerful face.

　There is another update at five o'clock, Huo's ending.
