Huo Wujiu at the table stood up, raised his hand upwards and gestured "please" to Lou Yue.

"It's me," he said. "I haven't seen you for many years, but General Lou still remembers me."

Lou Yue didn't know what expression to make on his face.

He stood at the door, unable to move a step, his eyes fixed on Huo Wujiu's face, and after a moment he moved down in disbelief, looking at his legs.

Those legs supported him perfectly, and he stood there with a tall and straight figure, like a tree facing the wind.

Huo Wujiu naturally knew why he was surprised.

However, he stood where he was and didn't speak, just looked at Lou Yue leisurely, just waiting for him to speak first.

After a while, Lou Yue recovered his voice.

"Your legs...haven't your legs...?" His voice was a little hoarse and trembling, and he didn't have the calmness and aggression he had when he faced Pang Shao just now.

Huo Wujiu smiled faintly.

"As you can see." Then, he raised his legs without hesitation, walked steadily in front of Lou Yue, raised his hand to invite him to the top seat, and then sat down opposite him.

Only then did Lou Yue free his gaze, and looked around the private room.

The place in the room is not big, there are several people standing around, all of them are tall and straight young men.He doesn't recognize these people, but he does know the person standing behind Huo Wujiu.

Wei Kai, the child adopted by his old friend, is very grateful.

Now, Lou Yue vaguely knew what was going on.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he quickly wiped them away with his hand: "I was worried at first, but I didn't expect you to be so capable that you could escape Pang Shao's eyes."

Huo Wujiu smiled, raised his hand to ask Wei Kai to pour wine for Lou Yue.

Lou Yue raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

After drinking a glass of wine, he finally calmed down from his shock and surprise, and couldn't help asking: "But, how did you do it? After all, you are in Prince Jing's mansion, which is where Pang Shao is staring. explain……"

Speaking of this, he looked at Huo Wujiu in surprise, and was a bit speechless at the end.

Huo Wujiu naturally knew what he meant.

He nodded, "It's Prince Jing."

Wei Kai explained from the side: "The general should also know that His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been at odds with the emperor for a long time. What they did this time is not only humiliating General Huo, but also His Royal Highness Jing. If it weren't for his presence, the It is absolutely impossible for me to have the opportunity to enter the palace and find someone to take the opportunity to heal the general's legs."

Lou Yue nodded when he heard the words, and said to himself: "I just said, I shouldn't have misjudged the person..."

Speaking of this, he frowned puzzled and said, "But, isn't Prince Jing Duanxiu?"

Before Huo Wujiu opened his mouth, Wei Kai quickly explained: "That must be false."

Lou Yue let out a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and took a swig.

"Heaven has eyes," he sighed.

Then Huo Wujiu lowered his head and laughed a few times.

"In this way, General Lou can rest assured." He said.

Lou Yue nodded repeatedly.

But Huo Wujiu changed the subject.

"But." He raised his eyes to Lou Yue, his dark eyes were extremely deep. "Although you say that heaven has eyes, you should also know that in such a matter, what God says doesn't work, it all depends on human effort."

He pressed the table with one hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lou Yue.

Lou Yue looked at him, speechless for a moment.

He knew what Huo Wujiu meant.

After a moment, he lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"I knew that you were waiting for me here today, not just to report my safety." He said. "Go ahead."

"Although I can go now, it's not difficult to escape back to Yecheng, but I have some worries that make me have to stay and I can't go." Huo Wujiu said. "However, I didn't stay here to sit and wait for death."

As he said that, he raised his hand to pour wine for Lou Yue, and said slowly: "During this time, you should have seen it. You know better than me what is going on in Nanjing. Now, to me, it is nothing more than The difference between taking it down from Yecheng and taking it down on the spot in Nanjing, General Lou must have to make plans for his future."

Speaking of this, he paused, looked up at Lou Yue, and said, "I'll just say it straight. Now I'm here, everything is ready, and I just want to borrow [-] soldiers from General Lou."

After saying this, he propped his arms casually on the table, only looking at Lou Yue.And Lou Yue didn't make a sound for a while, and the room fell into a complete silence.

After a while, Lou Yue spoke in a low voice.

"No fault, I owed you my life in the early years, I remember it all." He said.

Back then, he was in Yangguan, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and he was trapped in the mountains with his soldiers and horses, unable to move. Seeing that there was no food and grass, he had to kill horses to eat meat to survive.At that time Huo Wujiu was only about ten years old, a boy who was still growing, led a team of light cavalry, went into the mountain and rescued him.

This is the kindness he owes Huo Wujiu, he knows it.

But Huo Wujiu shook his head.

"I don't want to ask for favors in return." He said lightly. "I just want to ask you, if the southern scene is broken, what should you do?"

Lou Yue remained silent and did not speak.

Then Huo Wujiu continued: "It's not worth dying for the country in today's Nanjing. What's more, the younger sister of the Lou family is only twenty years old, right? Where do you want her to go?"

Lou Yue's eyes were a little red.

Everything Huo Wujiu said is reasonable, since he came back from victory, he has been living in an uneasy life every day, it's not like he hasn't thought about these things.

but……

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "But I can't do anything treasonous, no fault, you should know."

Huo Wujiu nodded.

"I know," he said. "But what if they are sorry for you and want to force you to death?"

Lou Yue was speechless.

He had thought about this kind of thing since Ding Beihou was forced to rebel by the late emperor a few years ago.Undoubtedly, what the late emperor did to Marquis Dingbei was extremely chilling, but although he and Marquis Dingbei were good friends, they were outsiders, and they certainly could not show the brotherly loyalty of leading their soldiers to treason the country just for themselves thing to come.

So he endured it and only persuaded himself that it was just a personal grudge between Marquis Dingbei and the first emperor. If he didn't go to the battlefield, regardless of this matter, it was the biggest concession he could make.

However, with each passing year, wars broke out, people's livelihoods declined, and the Nanjing court deteriorated to the core year after year. Since Pang Shao came to power, it has become even worse.

He is a general, and he is destined to be loyal to the king and serve the country, but this king's relationship with the country has made people miserable and displaced people, and his original heart of serving the country has been shaken repeatedly.

But he happens to be the defender of this country, and it is his mission to protect the peace of Dajing.

not to mention……

After a while, he said slowly: "However, they haven't done that yet."

Even he himself felt the hesitation and wavering in his tone.

He looked at Huo Wujiu, with a bit of uneasiness in his eyes.

But seeing Huo Wujiu staring at him silently for a moment, one corner of his lips curled up, and he smiled quite easily.

"That's true," he said. "Since this is the case, I have no reason to force you anymore."

Lou Yue didn't expect Huo Wujiu to be so talkative and let him go so easily.

He couldn't help but said, "But you..."

"There is always a way." Huo Wujiu said. "Today, the general just eats meat and drinks. How about I accompany the general until he gets drunk?"

——Lou Yue was indeed drunk when he returned home today.

Huo Wujiu's soldiers worked neatly and took care of everything in the restaurant.In addition, Lou Yue went to find wine by himself, so the meeting between the two of them was strictly hidden, and no news was leaked.

After Lou Yue returned to the mansion, he was full of loss.

"Good boy... Ting Zhang has raised a good boy!" He muttered, but his voice was choked with sobs. "It's just that I, Lou, feel sorry for him, I'm sorry for Ting Zhang, and I'm sorry for his child!"

Ting Zhang is the name of Huo Wujiu's father.

Lou Wanjun was directing the maids to take care of him.She knew that her father was not a good drinker, he couldn't even drink it himself, and today he reeked of alcohol so badly that he could hardly walk.

Listening to her father talking, she couldn't help feeling a little funny, and asked, "Who are you sorry for?"

Lou Yue shook his head and kept his mouth shut for a long time.

Lou Wanjun laughed a few times, twisted a handkerchief, and wiped his face clean.

Then Lou Yue suddenly opened his mouth again.

"However, he is indeed a good boy." He looked at Lou Wanjun and said. "If I can entrust you to him, father will feel at ease."

Lou Wanjun was speechless for a while.

However, she didn't take Lou Yue's words to heart.Ever since she was young, her father hated marrying more than girls in the boudoir. When he saw a man with neat features, a little bit of reading, and no lack of arms or legs, he had to consider the standards of his son-in-law, because his standards were loose. The result is usually [-]/[-].

After so many years, the families he betrothed to her are enough to form an advance army.

Lou Wanjun laughed, and put the handkerchief into the basin.

"Sure enough, she was very drunk, and started looking for her son-in-law everywhere again." As she said that, she turned around, looked at the soldier who was serving beside Lou Yue on weekdays, and raised her eyebrows.

"Let the general drink too much outside again, not enough practice, right?"

The soldier couldn't tell because he was suffering, so he shrank his neck and laughed nonchalantly.

-

Huo Wujiu was not drunk that day.

He could smell alcohol on his body, so he was not fit to go out, so when he came back, he asked Wei Kai to go to the main house to see if Jiang Suizhou had time to come over.

It was night now, and Jiang Suizhou followed Wei Kai not long after.

When he came, Huo Wujiu was sitting at the table, flipping through the books on the table bored.

Because of the alcohol, his emotions were more or less exposed, and his impatience with the book was even stronger than before.

Sitting in the wheelchair, he swayed back and forth slowly, flipping the pages of the book in thought, and hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he pushed the book forward, raised his head and said.

"coming?"

Jiang Suizhou smelled wine.

"You went to see Lou Yue today, did you drink?" He sat down on the couch next to him and asked.

Huo Wujiu nodded, and walked in the direction of Jiang Suizhou with one hand shaking the wheelchair. Then he felt that something was in the way, and with one leg, he forced the wheelchair to stop, stood up, and walked to Jiang Suizhou's side, very naturally sat down.

"Not much," he said. "The old guy is getting older, and his drinking capacity is worse than in previous years. He drank just a little, and he was almost carried back."

Although there are not many expressions on his face, there is an inexplicable feeling of joy, which is completely different from the unfathomable and solemn look when he saw Pang Shao in the daytime.

Jiang Suizhou quickly asked: "Then it's done?"

Huo Wujiu shook his head.

"He's still stubborn." He said seriously. "No matter how much I persuade you, I just refuse to live."

Jiang Suizhou suddenly became anxious.

Regardless of his other thoughts, he knew how important Lou Yue was to Huo Wujiu.In Huo Wujiu's plan, Lou Yue's soldiers and horses are an extremely important part. It can be said that without Lou Yue's soldiers, his plan cannot be realized at all.

"Then what should we do?" Seeing Huo Wujiu's frown, he became more anxious.

But Huo Wujiu looked at him for a moment and laughed.

His brows and eyes stretched, and with joy that could not be ignored, he raised his hand to stroke his back twice like stroking a cat.

"Don't worry," he said. "Isn't it because of you? He's being stubborn now, but he hasn't been forced to a corner by Pang Shao. But you also know that there are signs of it now, sooner or later."

His expression changed suddenly, Jiang Suizhou immediately realized that Huo Wujiu was teasing him just now.

... very bad.

He made a false alarm, somewhat disapproved, and blamed, "Are you scaring me?"

His voice was very soft, even if he frowned, he was not too fierce.A light reproach made Huo Wujiu feel sweeter, and he felt that even if the person in front of him was frowning, he was still likable and extremely cute.

He crossed his arms and leaned back on the soft pillow behind his head.He clearly looks like a king of the mountain with a big horse and a golden knife, but he seems to be playing tricks on others.

"No." He spoke clearly, his eyes were clear, and with a lazy smile, he looked at Jiang Suizhou and said.

"I just drank too much."

The author has something to say: Huo Wujiu: I drank too much, I need my wife to hug me to get up;D

Jiang Suizhou: ... just lie down.
