Eunuchs are not easy

Fu Huan finally met An Ci.

He was sitting in the darkest part of the cell, most of his face was covered by his hair, his body was thin, and he sat in the corner with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu Liang waved away the crowd, glanced at Fu Huan, and pointed in the direction, "Master Fu, there is only so much I can help you with, let's go!"

"Thank you." Fu Huan nodded towards him, and then walked towards An Huajin with a candle lamp and a food box.

The sound of soles pressing on the ground gradually approached him, An Huajin frowned, pressed the corners of his lips and raised his eyelids, and a figure that had been carved into his bones long ago appeared in front of him.

He blinked again in a little confusion, and he didn't really feel how fast his heart was beating until the light was completely close to him.

Just greedily staring at that person approaching a little bit, watching her unchain the prison cell and walk towards him.

He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly turned his face to the side, retracted his legs that were originally propped up, wrapped his arms around himself, and stopped looking at Fu Huan.

Fu Huan walked to his feet, bent his legs and squatted down, and put the lamp food box in his hand on the ground.

A cool hand passed through the hair around An Huajin's face and held his face, "Are you crying?"

Hearing this, the corner of An Huajin's mouth twitched, and he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Fu Huan into his arms, rubbing his chin against the tip of her hair, "I'm crying, my tears are all gone, why did you come to me."

Fu Huan leaned on his shoulder and sighed, "Who would have thought..."

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, An Huajin stretched his arms and pulled her away, stared at Fu Huan's face carefully with the help of a dim candle lamp, and brushed her fingertips across the corners of her eyes, "Okay?"

"I can watch it for now." Fu Huan nodded nonchalantly, and opened the food box at hand, "Eat something."

"Will you see me off?" An Huajin watched her laying out the dishes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes with light eyes were fixed on Fu Huan.

Fu Huan's hand that passed the meal was stiff for a moment, and he glared at him angrily, "What are you talking about, eat obediently, and I will rescue you out."

"How are you going to save me?" An Huajin snorted, "Everyone wants me to die sooner."

Fu Huan picked up a mouthful of vegetables with chopsticks and stuffed them directly into his mouth, "As long as I don't want you to die, you can live well for me."

"If you die, I'll just marry myself off." Fu Huan put the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and opened his mouth a little angrily.

"No." An Huajin immediately retorted without thinking, "I don't allow you to marry, what will I do if you marry me?"

"Huh?" Fu Huan raised his eyebrows at him, "Then have a good meal."

An Huajin pursed her lips and opened her mouth, staring at Fu Huan but didn't do anything.

Fu Huan took back the food in his hand as if resigned to his fate, but still insisted: "Don't you have hands?"

"I can't lift it up anymore." An Huajin pressed down the corners of his slightly raised lips, and moved his arms. Following his movements, the wide cuffs slipped from his wrists, revealing his scarred arms.

For a moment, Fu Huan was stabbed in the eye, quickly put down the things in his hands, and carefully grabbed his wrist, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." An Huajin tugged at his clothes, covered his arms, and frowned, "I'm hungry."

Fu Huan always felt a little weird when he saw the pitiful paleness on his face, but in the end he felt sorry for the weirdness.

Looking at the person who was eating slowly, Fu Huan felt inexplicably at ease, "I won't leave you behind, Anci."

She opened her mouth suddenly, stunned An Huajin who had been chewing food quietly, and then the light in those beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter.

"It doesn't matter if you leave me behind. After I die, a ghost will haunt you." He raised his eyebrows a little arrogantly, "Besides, this is not what you promised a long time ago. I want to regret it again!"

Fu Huan replied: "I will not go back on my word."

"Then how are you going to get me out?" An Huajin suddenly straightened his expression, touched his chin with his finger, frowned, quite seriously, "If it's too troublesome and affects you, just give up!"

"At that time, just rob the execution ground or something."

Fu Huan: ...

"You are not afraid at all." Seeing that he no longer opened his mouth, Fu Huan put the things in his hand back into the food box and closed it. "I will send someone to bring you the medicine. Take care of yourself during this time."

"Huanhuan, are you leaving?"

"En." After Fu Huan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something. She reached out to her waist and took out the jade pendant and handed it to An Huajin, "You must put away your things in the future."

An Huajin felt the warm touch of his palm, and was taken aback for a moment, "Thank you."

Fu Huan shook his head, left the candle lamp to him, and left a sentence before leaving, "Wait for me to come back."

"Okay." An Huajin slowly retracted his gaze, and then Zhu Deng looked at the jade pendant in his hand.This is something he never left, the only thing left after his parents sent him to the palace.

I don't know when it became unimportant, so that he didn't notice it the first time.

.........

As soon as Fu Huan went out, she saw Yu Liang who had been waiting outside. She squinted her eyes and walked over, thanking her again.

I didn't look carefully before, and when she came out, Yu Liang realized that his face was very thin. He asked his doubts in his tone carefully, "I'm sorry to be blunt, Mr. Fu, do you really want to save Eunuch An?"

Fu Huan didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he nodded, "Yeah."

"But... I am not optimistic about this matter. After all, what he committed is not a trivial matter, and there are many eyes staring at him from above."

Since he was imprisoned, he has hinted at him openly and secretly to trip An Huajin, so he knows that this matter is as difficult as skyrocketing.

"Thank you for the reminder." Fu Huan's tone was alienated, "I have a way to try. He has been in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for these days. Please, Mr. Yu, take care of him for me." Fu Huan's attitude is sincere, and Yu Liang Originally, he didn't have any grievances with An Huajin, and he also thought that An Huajin was suspicious at this time, so he was willing to give Fu Huan this face, "I will try my best.

"Thank you." Fu Huan couldn't help but smile and thank him when he heard that he didn't refuse.

……

The news of the re-entry of the Beiman really spread to the capital very quickly, and everyone knew it for a while, and the whole court no longer held on to An Huajin, and turned their attention to how to deal with the enemy.

Winter is approaching, and it is the time of severe cold in the north. Compared with the northern barbarians who have been in the north for many years, if they raise their troops to fight in the severe winter, Da Zhou is likely to be in a weak position.

Now that General Fu Yingxiong of Liaodong is dead, there are only a handful of generals who can be dispatched to meet the enemy.

Half of the voices in the court supported Liang Bo, the deputy general under General Liaodong, and half of the voices recommended other veteran generals. Only a few were optimistic about Fu Huan.

It is worth mentioning that because of the Northern Man invasion, General Liaodong was mentioned many times, and the truth about his death gradually surfaced.

Although the ministers did not focus on that, but as the battle reports from the front came gradually, the northern barbarians took advantage of the heavy snow to break through several cities. Compared with the Liaodong defender, the anger in his heart deepened.

Fu Huan resigned from his post in the palace, and spent every day in the barracks training the soldiers under his command. He didn't know how Fu Qing managed to get Cao Yuanzheng down, and pulled out King Qi who was hiding in the dark.

All of a sudden there was an uproar.

After knowing what they really wanted, most of the people in the court pleaded for orders to let King Qi, the mastermind of the incident, be punished as he should. The reason why he did this was nothing more than to appease other soldiers. waves.

Now is a critical moment, and the Fu family's status in the army is not low. This move must not only give an explanation to Fu Huan who is still serving in the army, but it must not cause the people below to separate from those in power. After all, King Qi As a royal family, this matter can be big or small.

In order to strengthen King Zhou's determination to execute King Qi, Fu Huan took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Liaodong to resist foreign enemies when Liang Bo was once again defeated by the Northern Man.

"Has Fu Aiqing made up his mind?" King Zhou looked at the thinner person in front of him, thinking about the news he had.

"Your Majesty will not joke about the lives of countless people in Liaodong." Fu Huan knelt on the ground with his hands clasped in fists, his expression firm and firm, "Please allow it, Your Majesty."

King Zhou sighed, put down the memorial in his hand, "Get up first."

"Please allow, Your Majesty." Fu Huan lowered his head, and was about to open his mouth to say something more, when he heard King Zhou say: "I have learned a lot from your elder brother, Fu Aiqing, are you sure you are competent in your current situation?" ?”

Fu Huan paused and said bluntly, "To tell you the truth, although the toxins in my body are temporarily suppressed, there is a risk of an outbreak."

"Fu Huan also doesn't think that the battle of Liaodong has to be done by me. There are so many talents in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and capable soldiers are rare, but..." Fu Huan raised his head, "It's just that I have been taught by my father since I was a child. The general should lead the world to the point of life and death, I don’t want to lead the army, I only hope that your majesty will give me a chance to do my part for the people of Liaodong.”

Zhou Wang frowned and pondered for a moment, staring at Fu Huan's face trying to find a loophole, narrowing his eyes and said leisurely: "Is Fu Aiqing really only for the people of Liaodong?"

Fu Huan visibly froze for a moment, and smiled relievedly at King Zhou's scrutinizing eyes, "Since His Majesty knows all about it, why bother to ask me?"

"I just want to know what you will do for him, Aiqing, and how far you can go."

Fu Huan: "If he is a knife in His Majesty's hand, then I would like to be the scabbard of this knife."

King Zhou was not angry when he heard the words, he just raised his eyebrows as a tacit gesture for her to continue.

Fu Huan, "I just ask Your Majesty to give Fu Huan a chance."

"You are infatuated, meeting you is his blessing." King Zhou said, "It's just why I gave you a chance."

"The knife is useless, just throw it away, why bother with the scabbard!" Zhou Wang waved his hand, "You go down first, as for the matter of going to Liaodong, let me think about it and discuss it later."

Fu Huan did not wait long before receiving the imperial decree to enter the palace again.

Without him, the main reason is that the Northern Barbarians fought their last battles, and their leadership was cunning and unpredictable, often by surprise.Coupled with Liang Bo's concealment of the enemy's situation and failure to report it, the other generals were in deep danger.It also coincided with the heavy snowfall, and the food and grass in the Dazhou operation unfortunately fell into the hands of the enemy.

"So Your Majesty means to let the minister go as the supervisor?" Fu Huan looked up at the man in charge, dressed in light attire.

"The officers and men of Liaodong won the battle with grain and grass, and Aiqing is familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, so I hope you can escort a batch of grain and grass there as a supervising army."

"Your Majesty will not disgrace your mission." Fu Huan bowed and half-kneeled on the ground, first responded, and then opened his mouth, "But I have never been a military supervisor, and the detailed rules are even more incomprehensible. Therefore, I boldly beg Your Majesty to go with me. "

"Who do you want to beg?" Zhou Wang raised his eyelids and looked at her with scorching eyes.

"I heard that Director An once went to Liaodong to serve as a military supervisor, and I want to ask him." Fu Huan said with a slight bow.

"Bastard!" King Zhou swept the memorial on the table to the ground with a flick of his sleeve, his breath was disordered, "Do you know that he has committed treason and injustice, and now you are pleading for him? Could it be that you didn't send me , put the Great Zhou Emperor in your eyes!"

Fu Huan replied, "I dare not."

"I didn't blame you for what you said last time. But this is not the reason for you to provoke me again and again. If you continue to be obsessed with your obsession, I will change someone else during the Liaodong trip!" Zhou Wang frowned and angrily said.

Fu Huan suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and pursed his lips, "I am willing to resign from my official position, just to beg him, and I hope His Majesty will do it."

"What kind of ecstasy soup did An Huajin give you?" King Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm telling you now, as long as he is alive, he will be my slave. If I want him to live, he will live." , If you want him to die, you will die. You are not qualified to instruct me to do things, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

Fu Huan lowered his eyes, and his tone remained unchanged: "The world belongs to His Majesty, and the people in the world are also His Majesty's subjects. Life and death are naturally in His Majesty's hands."

"The minister is naturally not qualified."

Although Fu Huan spoke according to his tone, but for some reason, King Zhou always felt that something was wrong after listening to it, and his chest heaved with anger. Thinking of the threat that person had threatened him before, the depression in his heart could not be relieved no matter what .

People with the surname Fu are indeed handed down in one continuous line.

"Okay, you go down first!" Zhou Wang didn't bother to look at Fu Huan again, and waved away directly, "The battle in Liaodong cannot be delayed. I order you to leave immediately, and at the same time, I will send another person to accompany you."

Fu Huan froze for a moment, then raised his head to meet King Zhou's impatient eyes, and continued: "Your Majesty, the minister and Director An once made an oath."

"Life and death depend on each other, and misfortunes and blessings follow each other. When he is born, I will live, and when he dies, I will accompany him with my life. So I am afraid that I cannot..."

"Are you threatening me, thinking that I really can't keep the great Zhou country without you?" Zhou Wang patted the table with his hands angrily.

"Don't dare."

The King of Zhou laughed back angrily, "The one who dares not, the one who dares not! You are the only one in the whole court, no...there is that slave who dares to talk to me like this."

"Since you want to save him, then I will give you a chance." Zhou Wang thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and proposed: "If you win the battle of Liaodong, I will let him go; but if you If you are about to lose, I will not only want his life, but also the life of your entire Fu family."

Seeing Fu Huan's stunned face, King Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Why, should you or shouldn't you?"

"The Fu family not only has a humble minister, but the minister can only use the life of the minister as a guarantee." Fu Huan continued.

King Zhou finally agreed to Fu Huan's request, and a discarded chess piece should be used to the maximum extent.

The benefits outweigh the cons.Winner and loser, if someone hadn't secretly rescued him back then, he might be sitting in this position today. After all, he is an emperor, even if he doesn't want to, he can't do anything willful.Doing so now can be regarded as repaying that favor.
