Seeing that Huo Ran was happy, Rong Huai's face was also stained with a smile, he got up and said: "Let's go, I'll take you to have a look."
Calm was restored in the house, and the servants were doing what they were doing step by step. Because the matter of the servants was strictly forbidden to be mentioned, it was as if nothing had happened.Rong Huai and Huo Ran came to the back door, and there was an unremarkable carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard.
Rong Huai stopped in his tracks, "Go and have a look."
Huo Ran strode forward and stretched out his hand to pull the curtain of the car, but saw a middle-aged man with a skinny face sitting inside, with a cane next to his hand, he paused: "...Father?"
Seeing that Huo Ran had a conversation with his father, Rong Huai deliberately walked a little further away.
Huo Ran couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in now. He had been dependent on Huo's father since he was a child, and his father was the only relative he cared about. But now seeing Ping'an's father, he was not as excited as he imagined, just like feelings Diluted, thinned out.
Like a layer of yarn.
It was replaced by Rong Huai's face, and even when he was talking to his father, he was frequently distracted, and what was always on his mind was Rong Huai who was not far away.
In the end, he only briefly talked to Huo Da and got off the carriage.
Rong Huai stood at the door of the backyard waiting for Huo Ran. Seeing that Huo Ran ended the conversation so quickly, he asked, "Don't you want to chat with the old man?"
"There's nothing to talk about," Huo Ran lowered his eyes: "Why does the young master help the slave's father to heal his lung disease?"
Huo's father didn't know that his son Huo Ran had sold himself into slavery, and he respected Rong Huai very much. For their poor people, taking medicine and treating diseases was a lot of money. He was a cripple, and he wanted to get through it Unexpectedly, Rong Huai specially took him to a medicine shop in a neighboring county, and arranged for a doctor to cure his tuberculosis.
In this way, even if he is a cripple, he can still work in the fields, which can at least relieve some of the burden on Huo Ran.
Huo Ran originally thought that Rong Huai took his father away to blackmail him, but he didn't expect that Rong Huai specifically asked the doctor to treat his father.
"Your father is important to you," Rong Huai stared at him and asked, "Are you still at ease now?"
Huo Ran said in a deep voice: "I have always been at ease."
Even before, he knew in his heart that Rong Huai took away his father in order to blackmail him, but in his heart he also believed that Rong Huai would treat his father well.Rong Huai may be cold and cold in the eyes of others, but he feels that Rong Huai has a soft side, and he firmly believes in it.
"Since you don't have any worries now," Rong Huai stopped, turned around and said, "Are you willing to be a slave for the rest of your life?"
Huo Ran was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood why Rong Huai suddenly brought him to see Huo's father. Panic filled his heart again, and his voice was dry: "Young master, don't you want to be a slave?"
The two unknowingly walked to the backyard, stood on the stone bridge, and looked at the carp swarming under their feet: "I asked you before, do you want to be a bird that eats millet or a hawk that eats meat?" Leopard, now you have a chance."
Huo Ran suppressed the panic in his heart, looked into Rong Huai's calm eyes, and gradually regained his composure: "Opportunity?"
Rong Huai said softly: "Now the border is suffering from barbarians, and now three cities have been lost in a row. Are you...willing to go?"
This is also a disaster inherent in the original plot. The emperor of this dynasty respected literature over military affairs. Facing barbarian aggression again and again, he could only choose to compromise again and again, and arranged for the princess to marry. In just half a month, they went down to three cities.
The emperor was furious and ordered the envoys to negotiate peace with the barbarians. However, the barbarians did not intend to negotiate peace this time. In the future, the barbarians would cut off their heads, hang them on the flag and sing loudly all the way, intending to break through the capital.
Seeing that the barbarians were going all the way to the gate of the capital, the civil servants who usually recite poems and paint pictures panicked.
Others might flee upon hearing the name of the barbarians, but Huo Ran's blood boiled when he heard about the war, and he knelt straight down: "I am willing."
Huo Ran was born for war, and he was born to belong to the battlefield of horse leather shrouds. Rong Huai naturally felt relieved of him, "I am waiting for your good news."
Huo Ran knocked on the ground with his forehead, and said solemnly: "I will live up to my young master's expectations."
Rong Huai has always been very efficient in his work, and Huo Ran joined the army the next day, and the Rong family also has connections in the army. Now that the army heard that they were going to fight the barbarians, everyone couldn't wait to run out, and Rong Huai even wanted to put people in. They were eager to recruit more young soldiers, and readily agreed to Huo Ran's entry into the army without saying a word.
When parting, Rong Huai gave Huo Ran a fat and strong horse for transportation. Huo Ran looked back frequently on the horse: "I beg you, young master, don't forget the three-year agreement."
Rong Huai nodded: "I will never forget."
Huo Ran rode his horse and raised his whip, facing the scorching sun, the horse disappeared into the distance.
Watching Huo Ran go away, Rong Huai withdrew his gaze, walked back with brocade clothes on his shoulders.
For Huo Ran's departure, Manager Wang wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate. This Huo Ran was obedient in front of the young master, but he could turn his face and choke the throats of his roommates.
Now that Huo Ran joined the army at this time, he escaped death, which is no different from seeking his own death.
In Director Wang's opinion, Huo Ran was already a dead person, so he was in a good mood for several months.
The other servants in Rong's house also think so. Huo Ran is such a dangerous person in the same house as them. They don't show it on the surface, but they live in fear every day. Now that Huo Ran is sent away by the young master, Rong Zhai suddenly The laughter of the past was restored.
After a long time, the matter of Huo Ran was completely forgotten by them.
One day, Rong Huai went back to the study to deal with business matters, passing by a cypress tree in the backyard, and found a dusty dumpling under the tree.
He walked over, only to realize that the ball turned out to be the turtledove that fell off the branch that day, and was still alive after struggling under the tree for a day and a night.
Rong Huai leaned over to pick it up, and told Manager Wang: "Go get some warm water."
Director Wang went to get a basin of warm water as he said, and Rong Huai wiped the wings of the little turtledove with a handkerchief, fixed the broken leg with white jade as a support, and put the broken millet in his palm for the little turtledove to peck.
The little turtledove is fluffy all over, like a little fat dumpling.
The system saw it, and his mood was complicated: If Huo Ran was still seeing this scene, he would probably have a complicated mood.
Huo Ran has been with Rong Huai for two years, and he still hides a handkerchief privately, but when the little turtledove comes, he not only has the handkerchief, but also white jade, what does Huo Ran have?A piece of cold iron chain.
Tsk, the system thinks that it really can't see through the host, let's say the host is gentle, the host is so ruthless to Destiny's Child, and hit them hard, making them ruined, crippled, and crazy, it can be said that life is worse than death, say Rong Come on, he can show tenderness and kindness to a turtledove again.
Fortunately, the golden cage where the sparrows were kept was not discarded, Ronghuai kept the little turtledove in the cage.
Over time, the system became jealous, and it asked Rong Huai: "Host... do you intend to keep it forever?"
Rong Huai said casually: "It belongs to the mountains, forests and fields, of course I can't keep it closed forever."
Only then did the system feel a little relieved, it's okay, the host's favorite cutie is still it.
I raised the little turtle dove for half a month, and when its legs grew back and its down feathers had faded, Rong Huai opened the cage door.
The little turtledove jumped out of the cage door, but did not fly away immediately, but landed on Rong Huai's desk.
Rong Huai didn't close it again, the little turtledove still didn't leave, she would go out to look for food every day, after eating and drinking, she would put the millet and silkworms on Rong Huai's desk where she often reads, rubbing against Rong Huai finger.
It lasted for a year, winter went to spring, and in a blink of an eye he reached the age of Ronghuai. Under Mr. Qiang's meticulous care for a year, his body has been able to persist in long-distance travel.
Father Rong was promoted again during this year, transferred from the magistrate to the capital, and now the family of the Rong family has moved to the capital, Father Rong sent a letter asking Rong Huai to return to Beijing to hold a crowning ceremony for him.
Rong Huai knew that he might not come to this Rong's house in Xianju County again in the future, so he returned to Beijing with his servants.
Although the house gradually fell into disrepair, the little turtledove would put the millet in its mouth on Ronghuai's table every day, and over time, it piled up into a hill.
Xianju County is located in the southeast, and it can be reached in seven days from the capital with a fast horse, but it takes at least a month to travel by water.
Riding a boat is much more stable than riding a carriage. Rong Huai is pillowed on the beauty's couch, holding a book and looking out at the river scenery where the water and the sky are the same color.
At the time when the solitary rainbow was falling and the geese were falling, and half of the evening sun was reflected in the river, Director Wang also looked at the river view and sighed: "Young master, we haven't seen such a scene for many years."
Rong Huai stared at Gu Yan in the distance: "Yes, the war is about to end."
A month later, their carriage drove into the capital. Rong Huai had been to the capital when he was a child. Although he was young, he was the most beautiful city in the capital. After four years, this weather-beaten city still hasn't changed much.
The capital city has been prosperous since ancient times, and the city gate is majestic and majestic. From the outside of the city gate, you can see the shops inside, and the streets are row upon row. After passing through the guards at the gate, Rong Huai's carriage finally drove into the city.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, shopkeepers carrying loads on their shoulders can be seen everywhere, goods and goods are dazzling, crowns are covered with capitals, restaurants and tea houses along the street are full of people, even the tea sheds on the street are full of business convoys.
Rong's father was still in court, and Rong's mother was waiting at the gate of the mansion early, hugging Rong Huai and crying like rain: "My son, mother can be regarded as seeing you."
There are two elder brothers above Rong Huai who are officials in other places, he is the youngest one, and is greatly missed by Rong's mother, when Rong's father returned to the mansion in the evening, seeing Rong Huai, he also relaxed his eyebrows and drank three glasses of wine: "Your mother is so worried. I eat fast and chant Buddha every day just to pray for you, and I am not allowed to drink alcohol, just come back as soon as I come back."
Seeing that Rong Huai was still in good health, Rong's father began to think about giving him an official position, while Rong's mother was more emotional, she thought that Rong Huai would be crowned, and just returned to the capital, even a familiar friend None, he was too lonely, so he was asked to attend the Qionghua Banquet hosted by Princess Gong three days later.
The Qionglin Banquet is a grand banquet hosted by the Ministry of Rites in Qionglin Garden to entertain the new champions, while the Qionghua Banquet is a flower-appreciating feast in April and May every year, when young talents from the princes and grandchildren of the capital can participate.
In a blink of an eye, three days later, Rong Huai drove into Prince Gong's mansion in a carriage, with Manager Wang, Xiao Kui and Liu Lingzhi staying by his side.
Concubine Gong likes to look after flowers and plants. The mansion is full of blooming flowers and the fragrance is overwhelming. The noble ladies are frolicking in the incense pavilion, and occasionally look at the young talents from all walks of life under the flower trees. In this dynasty, culture is more important than martial arts. Confucian scholars are all white-clothed paper fans. Personable.
Among them, Liu Siqian, the current champion of the new division, is the most popular, and everyone wants to go up and chat.
The head of the palace is in charge of receiving distinguished guests. He has seen so many princes and grandchildren coming and going in the capital. Just as Rong Huai got off the carriage, he was in a daze. After being stunned for a while, he came forward to meet him: "Is this the third son of the Rong family?"
"That's right," Rong Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can the Qionghua Banquet be held here?"
"Exactly." The chief kicked the dazed servant girl, and the maid came back to her senses with a blushing face: "Third Young Master, come with me."
The pavilions and pavilions of Prince Gong's Mansion are elegantly decorated. On the singing platform of the water pavilion in Qionghua Garden, there is Qu Niang playing Qingqu on the stage.
Qu Niang was born like a flower and jade, and she was quite famous in the capital, but when Rong Huai showed her face, all the talented people in the courtyard were silent at the same time, Rong Huai was not a handsome man with a heroic appearance, but a kind of graceful and dignified from the inside out. Beauty makes people feel at ease when they see her. Compared with him, Qu Niang with exquisite makeup on the stage is like a mustard, unattractive. Even Liu Siqian, the number one scholar with a crown-like face and high spirits, pales in comparison.
Liu Siqian was talking eloquently, when there was a sudden silence beside him, he also looked up, and saw the young man with jade and gold at a glance.Aside from the appearance, the demeanor of the whole body is more like the royal family than the princes and grandchildren he has seen.
Liu Siqian felt displeased when he saw it.
Everyone here is a personable literati holding a paper fan, or a rich and powerful son with a good family background and a large number of servants.
They were all guessing which family this young man was, with such an outstanding appearance, why had he never seen him before?
Then they saw the eyes of Li Yun, the second place in this year's ranking, stand up and quickly greet him: "Young master!"
Rong Huai remembered that Li Yun was dressed in a white shirt back then, but now he was dressed in a green robe and looked dignified. He nodded slightly: "Mr. Li."
"Young master still remembers me," Li Yun didn't dare to look directly at Rong Huai's face, and lowered his head with a blushing heartbeat.
Rong Huai smiled: "I haven't congratulated you yet on high school."
While chatting, the two walked towards the stone pavilion, Xiaokui also hurriedly followed with her skirts up, but Liu Lingzhi followed behind, feeling unconvinced.
She used to be beautiful and beautiful, and she was also a jade from a small family, but with the clothes she had worn for a year, her brows were lifeless, and there were a few strands of white hair on her temples. Now when she went out, no one else regarded her as a maid, but as a servant.
Standing with the handsome young master, he seemed to be a generation behind.
She came to the Qionghua Banquet with hidden expectations and carefully groomed and dressed, but these young talents didn't even glance at her.
It took a while for the Qionghua Garden to resume its former bustle and excitement, except for the people who were still around Liu Siqian respectfully, all the people present were whispering and talking about the same thing: "When I came here just now, Seeing black cavalry on the street, it should be that General Huo has returned to Beijing."
"That's right, Desheng came back from the frontier, and the people in the whole capital were shocked. You didn't see that scene, which was empty for thousands of people."
Someone exclaimed: "General Huo! Is that General Huo Ranhuo who slaughtered eight cities of barbarians!?"
Hearing this, Director Wang felt unreal and unbelievable: "General Huo...is it Huo Ran?" Not only did Huo Ran not die, but he became a general who held a heavy army and covered the sky with one hand?
"Can there be a second General Huo Ranhuo?"
"Without General Huo, the capital would have been reduced to a sea of flames today. It is thanks to General Huo that we can have a good life today and be able to do business as usual without being invaded by barbarians!" It's a Fu Qingwu, it's ridiculous, look, there are so many people around there to compliment Liu Siqian, who only knows how to recite poems and write poems is of no use, can he go on horseback and fight?This time the barbarians almost hit the door.You who have lived in the capital for a long time may not be aware that the people who passed by General Huo kowtowed and cheered. It can be said that the response was overwhelming, and it was even more spectacular than the emperor's patrol that day! "
Someone hastily said, "Shh, you should say this in a low voice."
"There's nothing to keep quiet about. It's because the emperor suppressed generals to death that day. In the past, he either gave money to the barbarians, or gave them princesses. This time it's good, and almost killed all of us!"
These years the emperor's weakness and inaction have already caused great public resentment among the people. This time the barbarians burned, killed and looted three cities in a row, committing all kinds of crimes, which made this kind of public resentment reach an unprecedented peak. Young talents are especially concerned about it. Jealous of evil like hatred, the prestige of the emperor is at stake.
While discussing, the sound of horseshoes trampling faintly came from outside the Qionghua Garden, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Everyone in the garden felt uneasy, stopped talking one after another, and looked out from the stone pavilion.
Rong Huai also walked to the railing of the stone pavilion, and a group of black-armored cavalry could be vaguely seen coming from a distance, the sound of horseshoes vibrated, the armor was glowing with blood, and the ferocious aura shocked all the ladies and talents in the courtyard.
Liu Siqian, who was previously held by the stars and talked eloquently, seemed to have his throat pinched, and he didn't dare to breathe. This is the Qionghua Banquet, why did these cavalry come here! ?
A tall and strong young man riding in the lead, his crotch is like a raging fire, the whole body of a black horse, the whole body is wrapped in black heavy armor, and there is a heavy knife on his waist, which makes people shudder.
Many people just heard from word of mouth how great General Huo was brave enough to defeat the enemy and slaughtered eight barbarian cities, but when they faced it, they truly realized how terrifying this man was.
Liu Lingzhi's heart was filled with indescribable excitement. Finally, the day came. Now that Huo Ran came back victorious, he deliberately chased after him. How would he treat Rong Huai who had humiliated him?
The glory of the Rong family is finally coming to an end!
Liu Lingzhi was so excited that she almost shed tears.
She couldn't wait to see Rong Huai's expression, was it fear or fear?Or run away?But seeing several peach blossoms stuck in the plum vase on the desk case, Rong Huai threw one without any hesitation, and the peach blossoms fell straight into the cavalry.
"Pfft," Liu Lingzhi laughed secretly, the young master is really pampered, Huo Ran is not the Huo Ran that he can drive to humiliate at will.
Just now Rong Huai was sitting in the pavilion, there were people looking at him frequently, now seeing that he dared to throw flowers on General Huo Da's head, he felt that he was reckless and daring.
"Which family you are, you are too courageous." Someone beside him shook his head: "I hope the general will not care about you."
Before the words were finished, half a branch of peach blossom was grasped by a big palm just as it was about to fall to the ground. ,.
Calm was restored in the house, and the servants were doing what they were doing step by step. Because the matter of the servants was strictly forbidden to be mentioned, it was as if nothing had happened.Rong Huai and Huo Ran came to the back door, and there was an unremarkable carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard.
Rong Huai stopped in his tracks, "Go and have a look."
Huo Ran strode forward and stretched out his hand to pull the curtain of the car, but saw a middle-aged man with a skinny face sitting inside, with a cane next to his hand, he paused: "...Father?"

Rong Huai stood at the door of the backyard waiting for Huo Ran. Seeing that Huo Ran ended the conversation so quickly, he asked, "Don't you want to chat with the old man?"
"There's nothing to talk about," Huo Ran lowered his eyes: "Why does the young master help the slave's father to heal his lung disease?"

Rong Huai said casually: "It belongs to the mountains, forests and fields, of course I can't keep it closed forever."
Only then did the system feel a little relieved, it's okay, the host's favorite cutie is still it.
I raised the little turtle dove for half a month, and when its legs grew back and its down feathers had faded, Rong Huai opened the cage door.
The little turtledove jumped out of the cage door, but did not fly away immediately, but landed on Rong Huai's desk.
Rong Huai didn't close it again, the little turtledove still didn't leave, she would go out to look for food every day, after eating and drinking, she would put the millet and silkworms on Rong Huai's desk where she often reads, rubbing against Rong Huai finger.

Although the house gradually fell into disrepair, the little turtledove would put the millet in its mouth on Ronghuai's table every day, and over time, it piled up into a hill.
Xianju County is located in the southeast, and it can be reached in seven days from the capital with a fast horse, but it takes at least a month to travel by water.
Riding a boat is much more stable than riding a carriage. Rong Huai is pillowed on the beauty's couch, holding a book and looking out at the river scenery where the water and the sky are the same color.
At the time when the solitary rainbow was falling and the geese were falling, and half of the evening sun was reflected in the river, Director Wang also looked at the river view and sighed: "Young master, we haven't seen such a scene for many years."
Rong Huai stared at Gu Yan in the distance: "Yes, the war is about to end."
A month later, their carriage drove into the capital. Rong Huai had been to the capital when he was a child. Although he was young, he was the most beautiful city in the capital. After four years, this weather-beaten city still hasn't changed much.
The capital city has been prosperous since ancient times, and the city gate is majestic and majestic. From the outside of the city gate, you can see the shops inside, and the streets are row upon row. After passing through the guards at the gate, Rong Huai's carriage finally drove into the city.

I eat fast and chant Buddha every day just to pray for you, and I am not allowed to drink alcohol, just come back as soon as I come back."
Seeing that Rong Huai was still in good health, Rong's father began to think about giving him an official position, while Rong's mother was more emotional, she thought that Rong Huai would be crowned, and just returned to the capital, even a familiar friend None, he was too lonely, so he was asked to attend the Qionghua Banquet hosted by Princess Gong three days later.
The Qionglin Banquet is a grand banquet hosted by the Ministry of Rites in Qionglin Garden to entertain the new champions, while the Qionghua Banquet is a flower-appreciating feast in April and May every year, when young talents from the princes and grandchildren of the capital can participate.
In a blink of an eye, three days later, Rong Huai drove into Prince Gong's mansion in a carriage, with Manager Wang, Xiao Kui and Liu Lingzhi staying by his side.

"That's right," Rong Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can the Qionghua Banquet be held here?"
"Exactly." The chief kicked the dazed servant girl, and the maid came back to her senses with a blushing face: "Third Young Master, come with me."
The pavilions and pavilions of Prince Gong's Mansion are elegantly decorated. On the singing platform of the water pavilion in Qionghua Garden, there is Qu Niang playing Qingqu on the stage.
Qu Niang was born like a flower and jade, and she was quite famous in the capital, but when Rong Huai showed her face, all the talented people in the courtyard were silent at the same time, Rong Huai was not a handsome man with a heroic appearance, but a kind of graceful and dignified from the inside out. Beauty makes people feel at ease when they see her. Compared with him, Qu Niang with exquisite makeup on the stage is like a mustard, unattractive. Even Liu Siqian, the number one scholar with a crown-like face and high spirits, pales in comparison.
Liu Siqian was talking eloquently, when there was a sudden silence beside him, he also looked up, and saw the young man with jade and gold at a glance.Aside from the appearance, the demeanor of the whole body is more like the royal family than the princes and grandchildren he has seen.
Liu Siqian felt displeased when he saw it.
Everyone here is a personable literati holding a paper fan, or a rich and powerful son with a good family background and a large number of servants.
They were all guessing which family this young man was, with such an outstanding appearance, why had he never seen him before?
Then they saw the eyes of Li Yun, the second place in this year's ranking, stand up and quickly greet him: "Young master!"
Rong Huai remembered that Li Yun was dressed in a white shirt back then, but now he was dressed in a green robe and looked dignified. He nodded slightly: "Mr. Li."
"Young master still remembers me," Li Yun didn't dare to look directly at Rong Huai's face, and lowered his head with a blushing heartbeat.
Rong Huai smiled: "I haven't congratulated you yet on high school."
While chatting, the two walked towards the stone pavilion, Xiaokui also hurriedly followed with her skirts up, but Liu Lingzhi followed behind, feeling unconvinced.
She used to be beautiful and beautiful, and she was also a jade from a small family, but with the clothes she had worn for a year, her brows were lifeless, and there were a few strands of white hair on her temples. Now when she went out, no one else regarded her as a maid, but as a servant.
Standing with the handsome young master, he seemed to be a generation behind.
She came to the Qionghua Banquet with hidden expectations and carefully groomed and dressed, but these young talents didn't even glance at her.
It took a while for the Qionghua Garden to resume its former bustle and excitement, except for the people who were still around Liu Siqian respectfully, all the people present were whispering and talking about the same thing: "When I came here just now, Seeing black cavalry on the street, it should be that General Huo has returned to Beijing."
"That's right, Desheng came back from the frontier, and the people in the whole capital were shocked. You didn't see that scene, which was empty for thousands of people."
Someone exclaimed: "General Huo! Is that General Huo Ranhuo who slaughtered eight cities of barbarians!?"
Hearing this, Director Wang felt unreal and unbelievable: "General Huo...is it Huo Ran?" Not only did Huo Ran not die, but he became a general who held a heavy army and covered the sky with one hand?
"Can there be a second General Huo Ranhuo?"
"Without General Huo, the capital would have been reduced to a sea of flames today. It is thanks to General Huo that we can have a good life today and be able to do business as usual without being invaded by barbarians!" It's a Fu Qingwu, it's ridiculous, look, there are so many people around there to compliment Liu Siqian, who only knows how to recite poems and write poems is of no use, can he go on horseback and fight?This time the barbarians almost hit the door.You who have lived in the capital for a long time may not be aware that the people who passed by General Huo kowtowed and cheered. It can be said that the response was overwhelming, and it was even more spectacular than the emperor's patrol that day! "
Someone hastily said, "Shh, you should say this in a low voice."
"There's nothing to keep quiet about. It's because the emperor suppressed generals to death that day. In the past, he either gave money to the barbarians, or gave them princesses. This time it's good, and almost killed all of us!"
These years the emperor's weakness and inaction have already caused great public resentment among the people. This time the barbarians burned, killed and looted three cities in a row, committing all kinds of crimes, which made this kind of public resentment reach an unprecedented peak. Young talents are especially concerned about it. Jealous of evil like hatred, the prestige of the emperor is at stake.
While discussing, the sound of horseshoes trampling faintly came from outside the Qionghua Garden, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Everyone in the garden felt uneasy, stopped talking one after another, and looked out from the stone pavilion.
Rong Huai also walked to the railing of the stone pavilion, and a group of black-armored cavalry could be vaguely seen coming from a distance, the sound of horseshoes vibrated, the armor was glowing with blood, and the ferocious aura shocked all the ladies and talents in the courtyard.
Liu Siqian, who was previously held by the stars and talked eloquently, seemed to have his throat pinched, and he didn't dare to breathe. This is the Qionghua Banquet, why did these cavalry come here! ?
A tall and strong young man riding in the lead, his crotch is like a raging fire, the whole body of a black horse, the whole body is wrapped in black heavy armor, and there is a heavy knife on his waist, which makes people shudder.
Many people just heard from word of mouth how great General Huo was brave enough to defeat the enemy and slaughtered eight barbarian cities, but when they faced it, they truly realized how terrifying this man was.
Liu Lingzhi's heart was filled with indescribable excitement. Finally, the day came. Now that Huo Ran came back victorious, he deliberately chased after him. How would he treat Rong Huai who had humiliated him?
The glory of the Rong family is finally coming to an end!
Liu Lingzhi was so excited that she almost shed tears.
She couldn't wait to see Rong Huai's expression, was it fear or fear?Or run away?But seeing several peach blossoms stuck in the plum vase on the desk case, Rong Huai threw one without any hesitation, and the peach blossoms fell straight into the cavalry.
"Pfft," Liu Lingzhi laughed secretly, the young master is really pampered, Huo Ran is not the Huo Ran that he can drive to humiliate at will.
Just now Rong Huai was sitting in the pavilion, there were people looking at him frequently, now seeing that he dared to throw flowers on General Huo Da's head, he felt that he was reckless and daring.
"Which family you are, you are too courageous." Someone beside him shook his head: "I hope the general will not care about you."
Before the words were finished, half a branch of peach blossom was grasped by a big palm just as it was about to fall to the ground. ,.
