Chapter 344
"Ruan Ruan, a weak woman, was taken away by Zhao Yan. Don't say that Huo Xun is worried. I want to find her in person. It's human nature for him to do so. Why are you so angry?"

Lu Heng knew that the prince was dissatisfied with Huo Xun's sudden departure, but he couldn't help but comfort him.

She and Xiao Ruan sisters are deeply in love, now that Xiao Ruan's life and death are unknown, she is naturally worried and looking forward to news of Xiao Ruan every day.

As for Huo Xun, she didn't know the plan between Huo Xun and the prince, and thought that Huo Xun was really sorry for Xiao Ruan. She didn't know that Huo Xun had always had difficulties until everything came to light.

It is also for this reason that she always feels guilty towards Huo Xun.Seeing the prince so annoyed, he subconsciously helped Huo Xun speak.

"You... When did this hall object to him going to find Xiao Ruan? This hall is just worried that he made a mistake in his judgment, and if he ran away for nothing, he would delay saving Xiao Ruan. But what about him, he left without saying a word, did he think about it? How does it feel to live in this hall?"

Confused by Lu Heng's words, the prince looked helpless.

He had made it very clear that day, but Huo Xun still didn't listen to his persuasion, he obviously had been away for a few days, but he sent the letter until today, obviously he made up his mind to cut it first and play it later.

It's just that he went so chicly, but left him a mess.

Leaving aside whether Huo Xun will be able to find Xiao Ruan this time, and when will he come back, who should manage the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command?

Now the prince is no longer worried about whether Zhao Yan's remnants can be cleaned up, but only worried about how he can intercede for Huo Xun if the emperor blames him.

"Brother Huo, will he return without success after going to Yunzhong? Why do I think what he said is actually quite reasonable, Ruan Ruan may be waiting for us to rescue her somewhere in Yunzhong."

The prince was anxious, and found that Lu Heng actually supported Huo Xun, and he felt a little headache: "Even if Xiao Ruan is waiting to rescue, Huo Xun, as a subject, must be responsible to the emperor and to the palace. He is already contemptuous of the Holy Majesty, you know that?" ?”

Hearing that the crown prince became more and more angry, and had raised Huo Xun's behavior to contempt for the emperor, Lu Heng couldn't help curling his lips immediately, and muttered with a smile: "Who told you to disagree? If he comes to you, you If you agree directly, how can this happen now?"

"You, you are simply unreasonable!"

The prince was blocked again and was speechless. After throwing this sentence, he shook his sleeves and left. Lu Heng wanted to catch up, but felt that this time the prince was not showing affection.

Turning around, she saw the ginseng soup that she brought specially for the prince was still on the table, she suddenly stepped forward, picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all, and at the end she still didn't forget to look at the direction the prince left, showing a puffy look look like.

"Hmph, if you don't agree with Huo Xun going to rescue Ruan Ruan, Miss Shen Tangben won't give you a drink!"

……

The prince sneezed continuously since he left the room, secretly thinking that Lu Heng must be scolding him behind his back, a wry smile appeared in his heart, he immediately asked someone to lead the horse, and rushed to the palace immediately.

"At this time, it's all the son's fault. I hope that the emperor can give Huo Xun a lighter punishment."

After explaining the cause and effect of the matter to the emperor one by one, the prince waited for the emperor's disposal with a face full of shame.

"That's fine too."

Thinking that he had auditory hallucinations in his ears, the prince raised his head in surprise, but seeing that there was no anger on the emperor's face, he realized that the emperor was really not angry.

"Father, what does this mean? Huo Xun left the capital without saying hello, why do you still think this is a good thing?"

The emperor kept his eyes on the prince's face for a long time, and finally sighed: "What Huo Xun said is indeed reasonable, but it's a pity that I didn't notice it before."

Hearing this, the prince's doubts grew a little more.

Listening to the emperor's tone, he seems not only not to blame, but also thinks that his conjecture is very reasonable?
Seeing the doubts on the prince's face, the emperor's eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately retreated from the crowd.

"It's a long story, and it's understandable that you don't know, but from the perspective of acuity, you are indeed no better than Huo Xun."

After the comment seemed to say such a sentence, the emperor told about the matter between the empress and Nanjun king Zhao Feng 20 years ago.

"If the queen and the emperor's uncle really colluded, wouldn't the emperor's uncle not kill Zhao Yan at all?"

The prince instantly figured out the cause and effect, and suddenly turned pale with shock: "This, how is this possible? At the beginning, the emperor personally sent Zhao Yan's head here."

"It is precisely because he sent it in person that it is even more suspicious."

The emperor shook his head, feeling more and more that Huo Xun's guess was extremely reasonable.

At the beginning, he only thought that everything was too coincidental, but he never thought that Yunzhong was thousands of miles away from the capital.However, Zhao Feng was able to get the news of Zhao Yan's failure to force the palace at the first time, and he was able to catch Zhao Yan so coincidentally, which was an extremely suspicious thing in itself.

"I have already ordered people to go to the cloud to inquire, but it is a pity that I did not find any clues. Since Huo Xun has already gone, let him walk around for me."

"But father, since the emperor's uncle is likely to rebel, wouldn't it be more dangerous for Huo Xun to go like this, if..."

"It's okay, I will make a decree to give him an identity, so that no one will easily touch him."

Guessing the prince's worry, the emperor shook his head, and immediately asked someone to take out a pen and ink, and wrote down an imperial decree: "Send someone to Yunzhong immediately, and hand this imperial decree to Huo Xun, he will definitely know what to do. "

……

There was a lot of people in Tongfu Inn, and the waiter was running around the lobby with a smile on his face while holding the wine jar in one hand and the food in the other.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two more guests coming in at the door, the waiter hurriedly sent the wine jar and food to the opposite table, and trotted over.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel? The food in our inn is delicious and the rooms are clean. If you stay here comfortably, you don't want to leave!"

Different from the enthusiasm of the waiter in the shop, the two men wore veiled hats, and they obviously couldn't see their expressions, but they gave people a sense of oppression that they should not disturb strangers.

"One upper room, the food is delivered to the room."

Seeing the man behind him take out a silver ingot from his pocket, the waiter happily took it, and led them upstairs with great enthusiasm.

"General, we have been away from the capital for a few days, and I don't know if the emperor and the prince will be furious if they know you left like this."

The shopkeeper brought the food into the room, Li Yan took off his hat, and immediately showed a worried expression.

Glancing at him, Huo Xun didn't speak, but picked up the chopsticks and focused on picking up the food on the table.

"General, why are you so calm? If something happens to you, what will happen to those brothers in the army?"

Li Yan picked up and put down the chopsticks in his hand, and finally couldn't help persuading: "If you don't want to go to the cloud to search for it, you'd better hurry back to the capital as soon as possible."

"The three provinces in Yunzhong are close at hand, how can I just leave like this? As for Jingzhong, I am afraid that I will betray the trust of my brothers this time, but with the prince and Lu Hanrui here, there will be no major disturbances in the military camp."

Ignoring Li Yan's anxiety, Huo Xun soon filled his stomach.

Just as he was about to leave the room, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"General Huo can stay in the room. I am here to meet the general under the order of King Xia Jun."

Huo Xun's expression froze at the voice of the person outside in front, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he winked at Li Yan.Li Yan nodded slightly, and immediately stepped forward to open the door.

As the door opened, a man dressed in official clothes immediately appeared in front of Huo Xun.

Judging from the official uniform, he is not a high-ranking official. If he guessed correctly, he should be a small official like a county magistrate.It's just that this man has triangular eyes and a mustache, and his face is full of wretchedness. He is obviously a villain who is used to flattery.

"Oh, my general, you said you came here, why didn't you notify me in advance, so I'll pick you up earlier!"

As soon as the male partner saw Huo Xun, he approached Huo Xun affectionately as if seeing a relative.

In the end, he looked around the room and frowned again: "How can the general condescend to live here when he comes to Yunzhong? It's better to follow me to the post."

As he said that, without waiting for Huo Xun's reaction, the man arranged for the guards behind him to step forward, and made a gesture to ask Huo Xun to leave with him.

Huo Xun stayed away from the other party calmly, not hiding the disgust in his eyes.

"I don't know who you are, my lord. How did you know the whereabouts of this general?"

Huo Xun walked on the battlefield all year round, and he naturally carried a murderous aura on his body. When he was down, he especially gave people a sense of oppression.But that person didn't seem to feel it, and slapped himself on the forehead, only to realize that he forgot to introduce himself.

"General Huo, don't get angry. It's all due to the negligence of the lower officials. The lower official's surname is Li. He is a small county magistrate here. I hope the general can give me some advice!"

The man raised his hand and made a tiny gesture, and the expression on his face became more flattering: "General Huo is going to go to Mengcheng to go to Beijiang with King Xia Jun to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement? Order, order me to wait and entertain the general well, I look forward to the day and night, and I look forward to you with great difficulty, for fear of neglecting you, but I don’t think it’s still a step too late.”

After Huo Xun listened to Lord Li's words, his heart was struck by lightning, and he was extremely shocked.

He had left the capital privately for several days, and even he himself didn't know when the emperor sent him to meet King Xia Jun, let alone the new emperor of Beijiang Kingdom ascended the throne.But this man spoke clearly and honestly, as if it was true. Could it be that the emperor really made such a decree when he didn't know it?
"Thank you Lord Li for your kind hospitality, but the emperor specifically told this general not to disturb his colleagues during this trip. Lord Li's wish is for this general to lead me, so I won't go to the inn."

A strange color flashed in his eyes, Huo Xun's mind turned several times quickly, and he finally chose to refuse.

Lord Li was not surprised when he heard the words. Huo Xun refused to go after several invitations, so he shook his head with great regret: "Forget it, the general doesn't want to go with me, and I don't force it, but if the general has something If necessary, we must send someone to notify the next official."
