In front of the Buddhist altar, Mrs. Bai kneeled reverently with her hands folded. She was neatly dressed, with only a jade hairpin between her temples. On the table was enshrined a thick stack of scriptures, which she copied by herself last night.

With a squeak, the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open, and the servants dared not disturb him like this, it must be the one in charge of the family. "Ma'am," Huo Zhao called, walking in with a cloak, "Kneeling and praying for a long time, my knees hurt."

Bai Shi didn't move when he heard the sound, but he recited faster and finished the last few sentences well. Opening his eyes and raising his eyes, Huo Zhao just stopped beside him, stretched out his hand, and mixed her from the futon.

"Master Hou, do you have a few words with Buddha?" Bai Shi said.

Huo Zhao smiled slightly: "I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, it's better to talk to you for a while instead of nagging the Buddha." He raised his hand to put the cloak on Bai Shi, fastened it, and then grabbed the bead between the other's fingers.

The two left the Buddhist hall side by side, and it was still early in the day, so they walked slowly along the corridor. After walking further to make sure that the Buddha could not hear the human voice, Mrs. Bai said, "Linfeng always loves to talk nonsense in front of the Buddha. He claims to be unbelieving, but it turns out that he is like your father."

Huo Zhao hummed: "I don't know good things are like me, but this kind of thing is like." After speaking, he touched the edge of the cloak with his palm, fluttered quietly, and held Bai Shi's left hand below.

Outside the house in the blue sky and daylight, no matter how secretive the big living person's movements are, there is nothing to hide, Bai Shi was quietly startled, shrank his hands and did not dodge, so he struggled harder. Still unsuccessful, she whispered, "Master Hou, let the servants see the joke."

Huo Zhao asked, "Old husband and wife, what's the joke of holding hands?"

He clenched it a little tighter, fearing that the iron palm holding the sword would be out of proportion and hurt his delicate wife, so he loosened it a little more, and he clenched it again for fear that the other party would take it away. After a few back and forth like this, he said helplessly: "Copying so many scriptures, my fingers are sore."

Going around in circles, it was because of understanding, Bai Shi said: "It doesn't hurt, it's just writing, it's nothing." At the end of the enclosure, he lifted his skirt three or two steps down, and stepped into a small garden, "Children walk across the battlefield, I can only do this as a mother."

Huo Zhao joked: "He is already twenty-three years old, and he will be twenty-four after the winter. Isn't it ashamed to call him a child?"

Bai Shi said, "When Linfeng was at home, you always thought he was stubborn. Now that he is in command of the army, you have come to pick an unimportant thorn." He complained, but raised his hand to close the front of Huo Zhao's clothes.

When he raised his head during the action, the eyes of the old couple met unexpectedly. They were not as turbulent and blended as young people. They were quiet and heavy, like two smooth mirrors, illuminating each other's minds.

Bai Shi said, "If Lord Hou has any plans, be sure to let me know."

Huo Zhao asked, "Why did Madam say this?"

A gust of breeze blew, carrying the residual red and green over each other's shoulders, Bai Shi spread out his palms, caught a scattered petal, and said, "The flower will reopen, and you don't have to say goodbye when it fades, but people are different. It is heaven and earth, Hou Ye, are you right?"

After this question was asked, Huo Zhao didn't say anything for a long time, and finally he sighed and read Bai's boudoir name, Bicheng.

"When you came to guard in Saibei, you heard that my father was proficient in Turkic language, so he came to my house every day to ask for advice." Bai Shi said with a smile, "My father is annoying and ordered me to teach you. Why, you still want to hide it from me now?"

How could the person beside the pillow hide it, Huo Zhao admitted defeat and said, "I peeked at my secret letter, and I'm so righteous."

In front of him was a rockery with a pavilion at the top. Huo Zhao embraced the Bai family and climbed the steps together. There was no one else around, and Mrs. Bai said, "The secret letter clearly has the date on it. During the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth month of next month, the China Army will attack. Why didn't the Marquis inform Linfeng?"

In war, we need to know ourselves and the enemy, and people's lives are at stake. How can there be any reason to hide and delay. Climbing the last step, to the small pavilion at the top of the mountain, Mr. Bai dismantled it and said, "At that time, you don't want him to go at all, but you want to pacify the chaos yourself, right?"

It was windy here, and the wide sleeves of his robes were swaying endlessly. Huo Zhao turned his side to block the cold wind for his wife, and admitted, "Yes, I didn't plan to call him." After all, it is his own flesh and blood.

"Chen Ruoyin is very cunning and cunning, since he decides to kill Linfeng, he must be sure of everything." Huo Zhao said, "If something happens to Linfeng, will the white-haired people send the black-haired people? It's fine if you don't know. Being a father is bound to protect the child."

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands were full of meat, Bai Shi couldn't make up his mind, he was stunned, looking at Huo Zhao and was speechless.

"Bicheng, I'm old, and I can't keep Saibei for many years." Huo Zhao said solemnly, "But our children are still young, so it shouldn't be an issue. It should be the same for long-term consideration."

Famous generals are white-headed, beautiful women are twilight, and most of them are lonely. The end of Bai's eyes turned red, as if it was cold and the wind was blowing, she couldn't help shaking it, and her voice trembled: "Master Hou, I have followed you for decades, and I still have the courage."

But no matter how brave you are, someone who is close to your loved ones is in danger, who can take it lightly, Bai Shi said: "You have always taught the sea and the wind, and fought with the heart to die, then this time..."

Huo Zhao replied, "It's the same this time."

He hugged Bai's gently and said, "My martial arts are far above Linfeng, so the winning rate is naturally higher." After a while, he looked up at the dougong in Tingjiao, and built a nest with two beside it. Only Shuangfeiyan.

"If I lose," Huo Zhao said in a low voice, "If I die in battle, I'll be dead right in my life."

Bai Shi opened a pair of eyes, and the water in the eyes was hanging precariously on the eyelids. Huo Zhao hugged her tighter, as if relieved: "I have no regrets about my age, I was going to tell you, but you have been hiding in the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures for the past two days, ignoring me."

Qing tears did not hold back, dripping down her face, Bai Shi choked and said, "Master Hou, the scriptures are copied for you, and chanting scriptures is also a prayer for you." Unable to hold back, she sobbed, "I know in my heart. Belly..."

Huo Zhao said with a smile: "If you are like this, then I will be able to triumph."

The two spent nearly an hour on the top of the mountain, and it was suddenly cold later in the day, so they helped each other down the mountain. The housekeeper has been searching for a long time, and came to report, the army sent back the news, and the two sides died at the second moment of Shenshi.

Bai asked, "Are the two generals injured?"

"Madam, everything is fine." The housekeeper replied, and then said, "Master Hou, Wu Ying is here."

Huo Zhao nodded, and first personally sent Bai back to the main garden, and then went to the warm pavilion to see Zhang Weiren dressed in a wealthy family. As he got closer, a scent of fat powder filled his nose, presumably he had entered the Xiaochun Terrace.

Fengyuechang has always been crowded with people and can't hide secrets. How many prostitutes sell news is more profitable than selling their bodies. In the past, there was an allusion of "Hu women seeking love", meaning that barbarian women fell into the dust, but they were actually seeking information.

"Reporting to the Marquis," Zhang Weiren said first, "After two days of investigation, there are no Hu women in Xiaochuntai, and there are no barbarians who come and go. However, there is a group of people who are generous and have stayed in Xiaochuntai for a month. Surplus."

After a long time, Huo Zhao asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Weiren replied: "This is what the maidservant said, it will only last longer if it is more accurate."

Huo Zhao asked again, "Who is that?"

Zhang Weiren said: "A businessman named Running Merchant, but he didn't move for more than a month. All of them carried swords and sabres. They once made a scene in Xiaochuntai when they disagreed with each other."

Huo Zhao asked a group of madmen with unknown origins and martial arts, "Where are the two secret guards, who are with them now?"

Zhang Weiren shook his head: "Last night at midnight, the two guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion had already left the city and headed south, so they probably went back to Chang'an." He patted his sleeve, feeling tired of the contaminated powder, "Master Hou, that group of people They have different accents, so they don't look like officials."

Either an official or a Jianghu person. If he has the financial resources to linger on the Golden Cave for so long, he is a Jianghu person who is a Shangguan. Huo Zhao instructed: "Let some people keep an eye on it. The closer you are to Chongyang, the more you have to be alert."

Zhang Weiren took orders to do it, retreated to the door and turned around, the door panel opened and closed and leaked a little red light.

The day will pass, and the sky will be as red as blood.

There is a blue lake in the desert, surrounded by green forests three miles away, and the camp of the Dingbei Army is stationed in the forest. On the high tower of the camp gate, the soldiers on duty were occupied by the dove in the magpie's nest, and hid in the corner silently.

The soldiers reminded: "Master, be careful, don't fall."

Rong Luoyun didn't care: "It's okay, I won't die." He was wearing a neat bunt and a small bun, like a new soldier joining the army, "Since the truce is over, why hasn't the general come back?"

The general said: "The general must be fast when he walks alone, and the whole team will be slow."

Saying so, Rong Luoyun's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "I'm back!" He broke the rules, and regarded the Dingbei Army, who was a serious person, as a disciple of his extraordinary palace, and pulled hard, "Look at it. , the general is back! Sound the horn!"

The soldier hurriedly agreed, and then with a flash in front of his eyes, the young man had already jumped off the tower. Rong Luoyun landed lightly and ran out without waiting for a firm footing, waving the small flag from the tower in his hand.

Linfeng rides the wind, and the silver-gray armor bears the afterglow of the sunset, galloping at the forefront of the team. From a distance, he saw that Rong Luoyun was so excited, he raised the Cassia Sword in his hand in response.

"Applause!" When approaching the camp, Huo Linfeng stopped at the reins and said, "Return to the camp for repairs and wait for the dispatch of the deputy commander."

The men and horses behind him entered the camp one after another, and the footsteps were implicated in waves of dust and sand. When the others were all gone, Rong Luoyun immediately stepped forward a few steps, pulled the reins as if he owed his hand, and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

Huo Linfeng reached out his hand and answered the question, "Come up."

Rong Luoyun said, "I don't want to run around." As he said that, he put his hand on it, and in the blink of an eye he straddled the horse's back. Huo Linfeng was behind him, his armor was cold and hard, and his back was sore.

The horse's head turned around and ran towards the east. Huo Linfeng's palm covered Rong Luoyun's lower abdomen and pressed it in an evil way, saying, "You don't run around, but you are making trouble on the tower."

Rong Luoyun was a little embarrassed: "Did you see it?"

He still had some eyesight, Huo Linfeng asked, "You have come to camp for four days, guess what the people below said about you?"

Rong Luoyun was stunned. He was not familiar with him two days ago, and he was at war with the Kipchak tribe in the past two days. What's the matter? He didn't know, but he turned his face slightly and looked at me from the corner of his eyes: "Praise me for being handsome?"

Huo Linfeng lowered his head lightly, knocked on the back of this fellow's head, and said, "The wind and sand in the desert has made you thick-skinned." Ride faster, accompanied by the whistling wind, "Some say you are a military advisor, some say you are Relatives of the Huo family, in my opinion..."

Rong Luoyun asked, "What are you looking at?"

Huo Linfeng replied: "In my opinion, no matter how ignorant you are, I watched with affection when I went out to battle, and I was overjoyed when I returned to the camp. I waited eagerly, and occasionally talked back and acted like a spoiled child. I'm afraid others will think you are wrong."

Rong Luoyun stared at the horse mane blankly, was he so frivolous? After thinking about it for a moment, it seems to be so frivolous... Then, he whispered: "If there is a problem, it will not interfere with other people's affairs. I am happy to have a problem."

General Huo was ironing in his heart, but he wanted to say something bad: "I'm getting more and more shameless."

When reached the place between words, looked around and saw a blue lake. If Lingbi Tang was just as sweet, the blue lake here is even more unparalleled in the world.

Rong Luoyun was fascinated, ignoring Huo Linfeng pushing him, and he didn't even notice that he was carried off the horse. As soon as he landed, he stepped on the thin golden sand and ran to the lake, and was dazzled by the crystal light on the lake.

After a while, he asked, "Can I drink it?"

Huo Linfeng laughed: "Hurry up, I'm going down to take a bath."

Hearing this, Rong Luoyun pursed his lips, hesitated for two steps, and then untied the knot of his clothes. This action was to go into the water and bathe together. Seeing this, Huo Linfeng stripped off his armor and strode forward, clipped the person with one hand, and stepped into the lake with a sway.

After being exposed to the sun all day, the lake water was not too cold, and when it was deep in his chest, Huo Linfeng put Rong Luoyun down. Unexpectedly, Rong Luoyun entangled him and didn't let go, untied his little bun and fluttered, looking like he was letting go.

"What are you doing?" Huo Linfeng asked.

Rong Luoyun replied, "I have no shame."

He wrapped it tighter, slippery in the lake water, and moved to Huo Linfeng's flesh-to-meat. As if carrying it on his back, he leaned on his shoulders and kicked his legs, forcing the two to swim out.

Gradually reaching the depths, Rong Luoyun fainted: "I'm a little scared."

Huo Linfengqing waited for this sentence, turned over and opened his hands, and hugged Rong Luoyun properly. His palms held the two buttocks under the water, and even if he rubbed heavily, Rong Luoyun didn't dare to refuse at this moment.

There was hot water in the camp, and there was no reason to come here to take a shower. Rong Luoyun asked in embarrassment, "Do you want to..."

Huo Linfeng said, "Baby, take a good look at this lake."

Rong Luoyun was carried away by the "baby thing", how could he know that looking at the lake, his eyes were sticking wetly on Huo Linfeng's body. "Whatever you want," he was almost sacrificing, "...you can do it."

Huo Linfeng said: "I want you to use the lake water to design for a while to help me kill the enemy."

Rong Luoyun was stunned: "That's it?"

Huo Linfeng nodded: "Otherwise what else?"

Rong Luoyun blushed and shook his head: "No, it's nothing." He agreed, burying his eyes and pursing his lips without embarrassment or embarrassment.

It's just that he thought... that's all, Saibei's stinky soldiers are really boring.
