Chapter 169

169 enemies of fate

Childe, it's the name opposite the princess's residence in Xindu.

Wu San's heart is cool. Is there a new face in the house so soon?

"How does that childe look? How is he better than childe Wu?"

Wu San pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the maid's words.

The maid sighed: "the new childe has a curtain on his face. I don't know if it's the princess's order."

Princess Xindu is a vinegar jar. A face in the former house only said two more words with a maid in the Princess House. After being found by Princess Xindu, she directly cut off the maid's limbs and threw them into the fish pond to feed fish. Since then, the maidservants in the princess's house have kept away from these faces for fear that a wrong look will cause the princess's crazy jealousy.

"But the new childe is tall and straight, strong and manly. Although he is not as elegant as other CHILDES, he looks heroic."

"It seems that our princess will change her taste again. She doesn't like gentle men, but muscular men..."

The maidservants laughed. Wu San didn't want to listen any more. He stumbled out of the corridor.

With a new face, Princess Xindu will fall out of favor. What Wu San had been worried about finally happened, and a feeling of despair spread in his heart. Reduced to the streets, poor to death... Is this the end waiting for him?

No, he must not let this happen. He wants to find a solution before Princess Xindu is completely tired of him.

The imperial capital of the great Xia Dynasty.

Huo Qijun was sitting in the lobby of the military headquarters approving official documents. His face was as cold as ever. Wu Heizi looked at his general Qingjun's face and felt that he was colder than before. After hesitating for a while, he grabbed the wine pot on the stove, poured a cup and respectfully handed it to Huo Qijun's table. He carefully said, "general, drink a cup to warm up."

Since his wife lost her, the general looked for her day and night with blood red eyes. The war with Turks was imminent. The general had to take care of military affairs and was eager to find his wife. Under multiple pressures, the whole man was haggard. But when they were preparing to destroy the Turks and recover their wives, the emperor's edicts came one after another, and they wanted to lose the general and return to the capital!

The damn dog emperor, I don't know which bitch's slander he listened to, suspected that his family's general supported soldiers and respected himself at the border, and had a bad heart. A series of twelve imperial decrees were so urgent that he asked his family general to return to Beijing immediately without error!

Wu Laohei remembered that he was looking at the general at that time. Except for a flash of cold on the general's face, he was expressionless indifference. As before, he could not see sadness and joy.

The general simply handed over the border affairs and hurried to the capital. When he arrived in the capital, Wu Heizi found that most of their close friends in the Huo family army had been locked up, relegated to the common people, or dismissed by the emperor for various reasons.

Wu Heizi is always dull again, and he has returned to his taste at this time. The emperor is going to attack his general this time.

Filled with righteous indignation, he was unfair to his colleagues in the army and shouted that he would go to the front of the imperial court to argue with the dog emperor. Huo Qijun didn't stop him either. His face was cold and said, "go, I'll take good care of your wife and children."

Wu heizisheng stopped and looked at his general with an uncertain face. It seems that the general frankly accepted the arrangement of the dog emperor and did not intend to fight at all?

He asked the general in a hoarse voice, "general, you won't save your wife? Do you just leave the soldiers of the Huo family army and be a happy apartment in the capital?"

Referring to the word "madam", Huo Qijun's muscles trembled suddenly, and then returned to the previous coldness.

Wu Heizi carefully put the hot wine on Huo Qijun's table. Huo Qijun kept writing and drawing with his slender fingers and pen, and didn't lift his head. "If you want to drink, go out and drink. How can you drink in official clothes?"

He seemed relieved to take up the post of minister of the Ministry of war and took official affairs very seriously. Wu Heizi looked at the two thick stacks of documents in front of him and didn't know when he wanted to see them.

Wu sunspot opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something. Huo Qijun floated faintly and blocked his words with his eyes.

He knew what Wu sunspot wanted to say. Wu sunspot must want to question him. Before his wife found it, he sat here to approve the document? The comrades in arms who share the same life and death in the Huo family army are still suffering in prison. He is relieved to sit in the post of minister of the Ministry of war?

Huo Qijun's lips were hooked and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Funny. In the past, everyone said he was powerful, but now he is deeply powerless in front of the imperial power of the Xiao family. He could not contend with it, and the result of being at a disadvantage was that his beloved wife was secretly taken away, and his trusted soldiers were sent to prison to suffer.

The soldiers of the Huo family army are all right. He has secretly cleared the pass. Although they will suffer some flesh and blood, their lives are always carefree. And Qingru

Huo Qijun blinked, trying to resist the sour meaning in his eyes. Qingru, you must wait for me

Wu Heizi looked at his general's side face, as if he understood something, and sighed long. The general himself probably didn't find out. He wore two different shoes today, one with dark green bamboo edge and the other with Mulan edge. General, he is not as calm as he appears.

Huo Qijun frowned slightly, called in the doctor of the Ministry of war who was waiting for his life outside, pointed to the name on the bamboo slip and ordered: "call these people over for questioning."

Nuo Nuo, the doctor of the military department, answered, turned and respectfully withdrew. After a while, several people on the bamboo slips came. Huo Qijun leaned back on the master's chair and pointed to the bamboo slips on the table for the people to see.

"The weapons used in the army are military secrets, which should be jointly supervised by the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of war, and supplied by officials. Now they are contracted to a businessman surnamed Wu. Our court thinks it's inappropriate. What do you think“

Several people looked at each other. One of them smiled at Huo Qijun and arched his hand and said, "we all listen to your orders." it didn't matter, but the others were silent.

The manufacture of military weapons has always been official. How can ordinary people get such a lucrative job? It's not because the businessman surnamed Wu is a relative of the Empress Dowager.

"If you don't think it's appropriate, just tell me. I'll do it."

Huo Qijun smiled: "our hospital understands."

After the men bowed down, Huo Qijun said to the military doctor, "go to the table to impeach these people's corpses, eat vegetarian meals, accept kickbacks, and ask the Holy Lord to dismiss them and hand them over to the ducha court for trial and conviction“

The doctor of the military department was startled: "Sir, is this..." is the punishment too heavy? Besides, some of the people just now are relatives of the emperor,

Huo Qijun said faintly, "just watch the table. I'll take care of other things."

They worked hard on the front line. It's okay for these people to sing and dance in the rear. They even paid attention to weapons and military food. In order to receive kickbacks, they contracted weapons manufacturing to businessmen and supplied low-quality weapons to the front-line soldiers. For a few bad money, they sold out the soldiers who worked hard to protect Xinjiang and defend the country. These people died 10000 times is not enough.

The doctor of the Ministry of military once heard of the reputation of Lord Huo. It is said that he is a murderous man by nature and has cruel means. He has killed tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the battlefield. Although he looks beautiful and gentle, he is a true murderer in his heart. The doctor of the Ministry of military suddenly dared not look at him again and whispered in response.

Huo Qijun coughed a few times and someone brought his cloak. He put on his cloak and stepped into the car door in the face of the wind and snow.

The vast expanse of white snow swept through the cascading palace, adding a bit of vastness to the original dark background.

Huo Qijun walked down the jade steps step by step, but listening to a voice behind him, he suddenly remembered: "Lord Huo?"

He leaned slightly, looked up, smiled and replied, "Your Highness seven“

Xiao Qiyu and he, from the first time they met, became aware that they were not the same people as each other and never had anything to say. Today, the other party took the initiative to greet, which surprised people.

Xiao Qiyu stood with a faint smile on his face and approached step by step: "is Lord Huo going back to the army or directly back to the house?"

They have been in the same court for many years, and they always don't say hello. Occasionally, they can't avoid facing each other. That's why they exchanged greetings.

"There are some important official affairs. Huo must hurry to finish them and go directly to the Ministry of war." Huo Qijun said faintly. His eyes looked from behind Xiao Qiyu. A thick layer of snow covered the vermilion palace walls and glazed tiles, and the undulating mountains in the distance were hidden under the snow.

Xiao Qiyu looked at the person in front of him. His face was clear and handsome, his posture was tall and straight, and he looked gentle and genial when smiling, but he knew very well that this person was a cruel and ruthless character, and he was very ambitious.

Huo Qijun is usually silent, but he is very clever and cunning, and his means are also fierce. He never looks down on such a person. Now it seems that he still looks down on him.

Xiao Qiyu sent someone to take away his wife, and sent his trusted generals to prison one after another, waiting for Huo Qijun to mess up. But he forced Huo Qijun to this, but the other party was still calm and calm, making him restless.

He worked hard for many years and achieved initial results. The emperor trusted him more and more and entrusted several important tasks to him. Xiao Qijun was no longer his opponent. Xiao Qiyu enjoyed the days now and firmly grasped power in his own hands without looking at people's faces.

Power is the best thing in the world. Once you hold it in your hand, you can't lose it. Loss is death.

But he and Huo Qijun are like doomed enemies. Huo Qijun married the woman he asked for but couldn't, which is the biggest stumbling block on his way to power. He and Huo Qijun are about doomed enemies.

Xiao Qiyu bent his eyes slightly and showed a compassionate look on his face: "I heard that your wife was kidnapped by Turks. I don't know if there's any news?"
