Xie Wanqing brought Helian Yu to Zuixianju.
When Helian Yu saw the plaque of Zuixianju, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Miss. I was in a hurry when I left, so I didn't bring much silver."
He was busy searching his father's study for other things, and now when he arrived in the capital, he had almost run out of money.
Xie Wanqing just smiled and shook his head, "Second Young Master is a guest, so naturally it's my turn to treat you."
The two entered the private room. Xie Wanqing's face showed nothing unusual, but the maid behind her looked a little worried.
My daughter has always been a self-disciplined and polite person. If she were seen meeting a strange man alone in a place like Zuixianju, who knows what kind of gossip would spread.
But Xie Wanqing didn't seem to have any such worries at all.
She ordered a table full of dishes and asked the waiter to arrange a room for her.
The two of them sat down, and Helian Yu almost wolfed down his food.
Xie Wanqing didn't eat much and didn't talk much.
Only after Helian Yu finished eating did he realize how embarrassed he was. He straightened himself up and saluted the person opposite him.
"Thank you so much, girl!"
Seeing that he had regained some spirit, Xie Wanqing tentatively asked, "Second Young Master, are you here this time for the Huo family's affairs?"
Helian Yu was stunned, "Miss Xie... you know everything?"
Xie Wanqing nodded and told him about the portrait incident and the news that all the officials of the Huo family in the court had been suspended.
Huo Pingchang's rebellion against the enemy was known to everyone in the capital, not to mention the entire Dacheng.
That's why those people on the street were so sensitive when they heard the surname "Helian".
After listening to this, Helian Yu lowered his eyes.
He didn't expect that even Huo Yan's position as general was suspended.
After a while, he whispered, "Miss Xie, do you also think we are terrible..."
Xie Wanqing shook his head. "Second Young Master doesn't know about this. You are also a victim."
Helian Yu closed his eyes slightly, trying hard to clear his mind.
"Miss Xie...can I trouble you with something?" he stammered, "Can you take me to the Huo family?"
His father could abandon the Huo family, but Helian Yu wanted to go and see it for himself.
He also wanted to know why, why his father did that?
Now that Yuan Musheng is not in the city, the only person he knows is Xie Wanqing.
Therefore, I can only ask her to help me.
Xie Wanqing looked embarrassed. The Huo family had closed their doors to visitors since the incident, so this matter was indeed not easy to deal with.
But she didn't refuse outright. She just said, "Second Young Master, have a good night's rest first. Let Rong Wanqing think of a solution."
…
Helian Yu was so tired that he almost fell asleep.
But before going to bed, he did not forget to hold the package he brought from Xiaoyue City in his arms.
Not long after closing his eyes, he fell into sleep.
In the desolate land and the valley without any grass, hundreds of elite soldiers rode forward, all gathering together with a surge of fighting spirit.
Helian Yu couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but he vaguely knew who they were.
There was a big word "Huo" written on the flag.
The leader stopped in front of the valley, looked up at the surroundings, and raised his hand to stop the team from moving forward.
"Something is wrong here, stop first."
The person next to him said with a smile, "Brother, you are too careful. It's okay!"
The leader didn't quite believe it and insisted not to move forward.
The other man, riding a horse, simply said, "Let me go check it out!"
After he turned back and tried to persuade them several times, the whole team finally entered the valley.
Huge rocks rolled down, arrows rained down, and then they were surrounded and annihilated from all sides.
Huo Pingyuan was covered in blood. He fought to the last moment. He watched his comrades die one after another with despair in his eyes.
"Pingchang! Pyeongchang where are you?" He shouted his brother's name, but there was no response.
An arrow flew out of the wind and hit his vital point from the blind spot behind him.
Huo Pingyuan fell down, and until his death, he never knew who shot the arrow.
…
Helian Yu woke up in shock, holding his heart and gasping for breath.
The person who fell down in the dream did not see the face of the person behind him, but he saw it.
That's his father...
He immediately checked the things in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure they were still there.
I looked at the sky outside and it was almost dawn.
He had no desire to sleep any longer, so he got out of bed, took a shower, tidied himself up, and then sat at the table to think about his next plan.
If he could go to the Huo family, he would be able to fulfill his wish of coming here this time.
If he couldn't go to the Huo family, since Yuan Musheng had gone to Liangzhou City, he might as well make another trip.
Just as Jingyang said, he went to find Huo Yan and handed those things to him.
As for what would happen to his father, Helian Yu sighed and clenched his fists...
In the afternoon, Xie Wanqing sent someone over to bring him a set of servant's clothes for him to change into, and told him that she had asked her mother to visit Mrs. Huo.
Helian Yu knew that something was going to happen, so he changed his clothes and followed Xie Wanqing's men, and sure enough, they arrived at the Huo Mansion.
Passing by the gate of the General's Mansion, he saw the four-character plaque in front of the gate, "Chang'an Pingxi", and also saw various rotten eggs and vegetable leaves thrown in front of the gate.
There were also bright red characters written in pig's blood on the wall: "Traitor, die!", "You are not worthy of being a human being!", "Huo Pingchang is worse than pigs and dogs!"
When Helian Yu looked at these words, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a big hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Madam Xie and Xie Wanqing brought a group of maids and servants, and Helian Yu walked at the back with his head lowered.
Mrs. Qiao, the second wife of Huo, came out to greet the mother and daughter of the Xie family. She looked exhausted.
"I hope you will forgive me for the poor hospitality we provided you two today."
Mrs. Xie took Qiao's hand and patted it gently. "I've been busy lately, so I just took the time to come visit you."
Helian Yu was at the back and looked up to see Mrs. Huo.
When he met Qiao again this time, his mood was completely different.
This is his father's original wife, who raised an orphan alone for his father and has been guarding the Huo family for more than ten years.
She thought her husband had died on the battlefield, but she didn't know that the husband she was thinking about had married someone else, had another child, and was living a powerful and happy life.
Just thinking about it, Helian Yu felt that he shouldn't have come into this world.
But in just these few days, Qiao's changes were no less than his.
When I saw her in the royal gardens before, although she was weak, she was still in good spirits.
The second Madam Huo we met today already had a head full of silver hair, which showed the torment in her heart.
Helian Yu just felt sad, not for any other reason, but because his father kept both his mother and this Mrs. Huo in the dark.
With Mrs. Huo's current situation, who can say whether he and his mother will not follow in her footsteps one day?
While the two ladies were talking, Xie Wanqing lagged behind slightly and whispered to Helian Yu,
"The Huo Family Ancestral Hall is in the northwest. Go there as soon as you can if you want to see anything."
Helian Yu nodded slightly, took a few steps back, and walked quickly towards the northwest of the mansion.
