In the darkness, Hou Quan sat quietly in the room alone. In the middle of the house, a coffin was placed, and his wife was lying inside.

Hou Quan was born in poverty, but fortunately, Kong Wu was powerful and had a good body, so he participated in the imperial guards selection at the age of fifteen and successfully joined the army. However, people like him who have no backers, who do not charm the enemy, and who only know how to do things sincerely and honestly are destined not to be liked by others. If he has been with the army for more than ten years, he can only save food and clothing and live a difficult life.

Until Li Xun established the inspection institute, recruited soldiers from outside, and went to the imperial guards, Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards and other military yamen, all sent invitation leaflets, and the treatment was superior. People from these military systems sneered at this and looked down on it. No matter how bad they were, they were the Central Army. How could they go to a new yamen that had no specific affairs yet? So few people came to respond at that time.

Because Hou Quan is honest and can't hide anything, he must say it. He is jealous of his colleagues around him, so he is excluded. Hou Quan is also very unhappy. If it were not for life, he would never want to continue to stay in the imperial guards.

Hou Quan saw Li Xun's recruitment documents and thought that if he changed the environment, no matter how bad it was, it would not be worse than now, so he went to the inspection office.

After Li Xun established the inspection institute, he immediately held a full-army competition. Whoever has the strong ability will be the military leader. Hou Quan entered the top ten in this competition and was appointed as deputy lieutenant by Li Xun on the spot. Although this was just a position of the lowest level of the ninth rank, it greatly shocked Hou Quan's spirit and enthusiasm because he saw hope.

The subsequent development will be very simple.

Hou Quan was serious in his work, good martial arts skills, and good character, but his ability was a bit poor, so Li Xun transferred him to his side as the deputy commander of the personal soldiers. In the following time, Hou Quan followed Li Xun. Two battles in Longyou, and a few years passed, Hou Quan's position was steadily improved. From the lieutenant, the commander to the Lang General, until the outbreak of the Western Regions War, Li Xun gave Hou Quan a thousand troops. Although the number was not large, this was the first time that Hou Quan led the army alone.

Hou Quan took over the Chengzhou Kingdom with a thousand troops. This incident shocked the entire northern countries in the Western Regions, and even caused the morale of Zhan Bai's army to shake. The powerful and powerful leaders of the northern countries were worried about the safety of their country. Finally, they parted with Zhan Bai and forced their troops to the north. The division of the army made Zhan Bai's absolute superior force a relative advantage, which gave Li Xun the confidence and opportunity to dare to fight to the decisive battle.

Hou Quan made great contributions to the Battle of the Western Regions. His actions can be said to have completely changed the direction of the entire war and also the beginning of the turning point of the war.

After the war, Li Xun rewarded him with great success and was promoted several levels, and directly took the position of the Asian General.

Li Xun's success in the Western Regions was not only his success, but also many people, including Hou Quan, Li Cunxiao, Lei Wanhai and other large groups of young generals. Because of their successes, this greatly encouraged their passion and confidence. Unfortunately, this good environment lasted too short. With Li Xun's transfer, all the beautiful futures began to be gradually weakened, and with the arrival of Yuwen, everything changed completely.

Dan Qiu's killing caused a great shock in the army, and a rebellion broke out soon. Niu Jin said furiously that he was almost killed. Finally, he joined forces with his brother-in-law Zhang Qun to avenge Dan Qiu and protect himself. He immediately organized a mutiny and murder. The target was Yuwen Zhen, but unfortunately he was betrayed and the matter was leaked. Yuwen Zhen urgently dispatched troops to surround him. Niu Jin and Zhang Qun fought to kill a bloody road, fled to the mountains, returned to the origin, and became bandits again. This has to be said to be a great irony.

Yuwen Zhen was extremely angry, and then used this as an excuse to start a large-scale purge and killing in the army, excluding dissidents. Many people were either killed or demoted, the morale of the army was shaken, the hearts of the people were dispersed, and villains were rampant.

Hou Quan was always patient at the beginning, but in terms of his attitude towards some things, he finally had his bottom line and original work, which led to Yuwen Zhen turning his suspicious and vicious eyes to Hou Quan, but he just couldn't find an excuse to attack him.

Half a month ago, because Yuwen Zhen accepted a huge bribe from Tianlan, he immediately issued an order that within his jurisdiction, that is, the six countries in the central Western Regions, except Tianlan, all religions were prohibited. All religious church buildings were demolished in half a year.

Yuwen Zhen's order completely angered many people in the Western Regions, and a riot broke out soon.

The army soldiers sent by Yuwen Zhen to demolish church buildings took advantage of this opportunity to snatch property and do everything they can.

Last night, Hou Quan's wife went out shopping and happened to encounter the army that was forcibly demolishing a church building. The army and the people clashed. The scene was very chaotic. After a stalemate between the two sides, the army began to clear the scene by force and kill people. In this chaos, Hou Quan's wife was killed.

Before being killed, Hou Quan's wife shouted that her husband was Hou Quan several times, but was ignored by the leading officer and eventually killed.

After hearing the bad news, Hou Quan sat in his arms with his wife for a whole night. At dusk today, Hou Quan bought a coffin and put his wife in his arms. He then brought his weapons to destroy the officer's family and family of more than ten people.

Hou Quan was staying at home, actually waiting for death. He knew that Yuwen Zhen had a long time ago to kill him, and now that he had such a good excuse, he would definitely not let him go, but Hou Quan no longer cares.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open and a figure walked in gently.

Hou Quan looked at this figure, so familiar.

"What are you doing?"

As a former brother of life and death, Hou Quan's tone was extremely cold, even cold and ruthless.

Zhou Pingyun said silently: "I have pressed the officer you killed for the time being. Yuwen Zhen doesn't know yet. It's still time for you to leave now."

Hou Quan laughed and said, "What is Yuwen Zhen? How could I be afraid of him?"

Zhou Pingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I know you no longer recognize me as a brother, but in my heart, you Hou Quan will always be my elder brother. Listen to your advice, leave quickly and don't make fearless sacrifices."
