After the guests and hosts had a good time, Su Qianan returned to Wentian Pavilion, and Bingwen took Kong Changhui and General Zhao back to Mingxiangyuan.
Bingwen introduced Shi Zhongfei to Zhao Xingwen, and after settling him down, Sang Yi came to Mingxiangyuan to pass on Huo Tianxiu's oral message, saying that today Shenshi would go to court to conclude the case, and invited Bingwen to go to the hearing with him.
Bingwen looked at Kong Changhui and said, "You go, I won't go."
It happened that Kong Changhui also wanted to know how the case was resolved, so he went there on Bingwen's behalf.
Bingwen got some free time and happened to come to Zhao Xingwen's room to ask about the details of what happened in Zhao Jiajun in Xia Chu.
Zhao Xingwen started from Xia Chu's shocking beating of Guo Weidong in the martial arts field. He vividly described Xia Chu's movement skills and the scene that shocked everyone at the time.
One spoke with great excitement, and the other listened with gusto.
Just when Zhao Xingwen was talking about Xia Chu bringing King Mo's army back to aid Hanyang City, Jiao Shi reported outside that Admiral Huo had come with Miss Huo.
Bingwen was startled and quickly stood up and said to Zhao Xingwen: "It seems that I have to stay with you for a while. After Admiral Huo leaves, I will come back to listen to General Zhao's next analysis."
"Brother Bingwen has a wide network of contacts. Even Admiral Huo can come to the door in person." Zhao Xingwen was surprised when he heard that it was Admiral Huo.
"General Zhao is so complimentary. I'll be back soon." Bingwen waved his hand in a humble manner.
"I'll go with you." Zhao Xingwen stood up and said to Bingwen.
He is also quite familiar with Huo Tianxiu. He has watched him grow up since childhood, just like his parents.
Now that I heard that he was coming, I naturally wanted to go and see him.
When Bingwen saw him getting up, he was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Back then, the emperor took Huo Tianxiu to fight with General Zhao on the battlefield. He must have known Zhao Xingwen, so he smiled and said, "That's all right. General Zhao invites you."
Kong Changhui arranged them in the main hall of the backyard. Zhao Xingwen saw Huo Tianxiu's figure from afar. Before he entered the room, he called out in a loud voice: "Admiral Huo, long time no see."
Huo Tianxiu looked up when he heard the sound and saw a tall, muscular man with broad shoulders, high chest and dark skin.
The outline of his face is as sharp as a knife, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose. His resolute and handsome face looks very familiar, and he exudes a chilling air that has been battle-hardened for a long time.
"You are..." Huo Tianxiu squinted his eyes slightly, feeling that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't pronounce his name.
"I am Zhao Xingwen. I was beaten by you a lot when I was a child. Admiral Huo has returned to Beijing, but he has even forgotten about me?" Zhao Xingwen complained dissatisfiedly.
Huo Tianxiu laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "How can I forget that you are also a child raised by me, but for a moment I didn't know whether you were a scholar or a martial artist."
Just as Zhao Xingwen was about to speak, he heard a gentle "uncle" sound coming from the inside of the hall.
Zhao Xingwen followed the sound and saw a graceful and graceful woman standing in front of a calligraphy and painting with an outline of clouds and brocade, and a dotted ink landscape.
At this time, Zheng Duan walked towards Huo Tianxiu and looked at Zhao Xingwen with a searching look on his face.
It turned out that Huo Wenshu was admiring the poetry, calligraphy and paintings in the hall.
Hearing that he was a familiar person to his uncle, he came over to prepare for the ceremony out of courtesy.
"Wen Shu, this is Zhao Xingwen, the grandson of General Zhao of the General Mansion. Despite his young age, he is already a battle-hardened general." Huo Tianxiu introduced Huo Wenshu with a satisfied look on his face.
Then he turned to Zhao Xingwen and said, "This is my niece Huo Wenshu."
Huo Wenshu bowed and called softly: "I have met General Zhao."
Only then did Zhao Xingwen see Huo Wenshu's face clearly, and saw that she had a beautiful face and a skin as white as snow.
The eyebrows are as curved as the moon, and the lips are as small as cherry blossoms.
Her dark cheeks turned red visibly. She bowed her head and bowed back: "Miss Huo is too cute. Uncle Huo is very familiar with our Zhao family. How many years am I older than you?" It’s okay to call me brother.”
Huo Tianxiu nodded and said to Huo Wenshu, "We have a very good personal relationship. We really don't need to be so open-minded."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wenshu had no choice but to call out softly: "Brother Xingwen."
Zhao Xingwen's heart surged when she called her, and he replied without daring to raise his head: "Sister Wen Shu."
"You insist on Wen Shuhuan's brother. How embarrassed are you now? I haven't seen you for some years, but you have become restrained. When you were a child, you went to the house to lift the roof and kicked the monkey in the sky..."
"Uncle Huo..." Before Huo Tianxiu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Xingwen, who looked up and looked at him resentfully and flattened his mouth.
"No more, no more, why did you come back to Beijing?" Huo Tianxiu looked at his hesitant look and laughed.
"Grandpa asked me to come back and explain something to the emperor." Zhao Xingwen returned to Beijing this time because not long after his grandfather heard the good news of Zhao's army's victory, the courtiers were too slow to accuse King Mo of secretly transferring troops.
Then he began to investigate why the Zhao Jiajun was suppressed by the Hu soldiers and was unable to fight back.
At this time, when he saw that there were many people in the hall, he was a little vague and gave Huo Tianxiu an incomprehensible look.
Huo Tianxiu also knew something in his heart when he heard this. These important ministers of the imperial court had been putting pressure on the emperor a lot these days.
Overtly and covertly, Zhao Jiajun was asked to give an explanation. This must have been the reason why Zhao Xingwen came back.
Huo Tianxiu was also a military attache, and he despised their ungrateful behavior of crossing rivers and burning bridges.
He snorted coldly with a stern face: "Don't worry about the rumors, the emperor has made his own decision in his heart."
Zhao Xingwen knew that Huo Tianxiu must be on the same side as Zhao Jiajun. Besides, he didn't care at first, but his grandfather gave the order, so he had to go back to Beijing to explain it in person.
"Uncle Huo came to see Bingwen?" Zhao Xingwen then remembered that Bingwen was still standing next to him.
"Well. How about you take Wen Shu out for a walk." Huo Tianxiu glanced at Bingwen and said to Zhao Xingwen.
"It's a great honor. Can we go out for a walk, Sister Wen Shu?" Zhao Xingwen asked for it. Hearing this, his face was full of smile and he made a gesture of invitation to Huo Wenshu.
"Then, please step down together and let me show you some places with nice scenery." Kong Changhui was now more and more aware of his actions. When he saw Huo Tianxiu looking like he had something to say to Bingwen, he took the initiative. proposal.
Huo Tianxiu nodded when he heard this. Seeing that he was interested, he glanced at Kong Changhui appreciatively.
"You go down too." Bingwen ordered Sang Yi.
After hearing this, Sang resigned and followed the three of them out of the hall.
"Why did Admiral Huo come to Mingxiangyuan?" Bingwen asked after seeing everyone had left.
Could it be that he came here specifically to deliver a token
It's not that big of a deal, just send him over to pick it up, or send someone to deliver it, not to mention that he brought Huo Wenshu with him.
Huo Tianxiu suddenly asked, looking at Bingwen's tall figure and elegant appearance of a handsome young man.
"What do you think of Wen Shu?"
