If she had a sword in her hand, she would kill him with one strike right now!
Zhao Xiyan smiled as usual, but her heart was cold. Strong anger and hatred quickly filled her chest.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, the fierce fire knows the true gold.
The handsome and talented young man in front of her is her father's favorite student. They grew up together, and she has always respected him and regarded him as her elder brother.
In the previous life, Beihai County was massacred by the rebel army, and the Zhao family was exterminated. However, the Huo family was spared and became the only prominent family in Beihai County that was preserved.
Xu Jing died tragically, and she was in a coma for two days before she woke up. The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Huo Yan.
Huo Yan's face was pale, his eyes averted, and he advised her in a low voice: "Sister Yue Ya'er, you are still living an ant's life. You are in your prime years, so don't commit suicide. Live well."
"The Jin Dynasty was in civil strife and was about to end. General Zhou rose up and occupied Pingyuan County first, and now Beihai County. Sooner or later, Qingzhou will belong to General Zhou. Such a hero, why doesn't sister Yue Ya'er obey him as soon as possible and be more submissive?
If you make General Zhou happy, you can still have a reputation in the future..."
Her heart was as cold as ice, and she uttered one word coldly: "Get out!"
Huo Yan refused to leave, pleading in his eyes: "Yue Ya'er, don't be upset. In these troubled times, human life is like grass. Whether you live or die, it all depends on General Zhou's thoughts."
"The Huo family's accumulated wealth for several lifetimes was dedicated to General Zhou, and all the female relatives were also dedicated. Only then did the male members of the Huo family survive."
"I have no other choice. If I want to survive, I can only surrender to General Zhou and serve under General Zhou. Today, General Zhou led his troops out of the military camp, so I dare to sneak into the military tent to see you."
"Listen to my advice and don't seek life and death. You are unparalleled in talent and beauty, and General Zhou likes you very much. If you follow General Zhou, you will be rich and prosperous in the future. Everyone in the Zhao family is dead, and from now on, our Huo family will be yours.
Maternal family. I am your brother..."
The flame of anger burned in her chest, making her eyes red.
She had never thought that the Huo family brother she had grown up with since childhood could be so despicable and shameless.
It is barely reasonable to sacrifice one's family fortune in order to survive.
In order to surrender, it would be too despicable to "offer" all the sisters, aunts and sisters-in-law at home!
He actually had the nerve to persuade her to submit to Zhou Sui, and he had the nerve to say that he would be her natal brother! He was trying to use her to gain a future and wealth!
"roll!"
She tried her best and cursed angrily: "You shameless villain! You are a wolf-hearted beast! You have lived in vain! I feel sick just looking at you!"
"I am ashamed to know someone like you! From now on, you and I will be cut off from each other!"
"Get out immediately!"
Huo Yan turned pale after being scolded and left dejectedly.
Later, the Zhou Sui Dynasty occupied several counties in Qingzhou and ruled the roost in troubled times. She became the crown jewel of the Zhou Sui Dynasty to show off.
Huo Yan and his son also had a place under Zhou Sui's command by virtue of their "dedication". Huo Yan worked as a clerk and served as a half-strategist, making suggestions for Zhou Sui.
Huo Yanfei's dream of becoming a successful person soon came to an abrupt end.
During a banquet, she took the initiative to smile at Huo Yan.
She had never shown her face and smiled. Zhou Sui was so surprised when he saw her smile for the first time, and looked at Huo Yan with a particularly gloomy look.
After the banquet, Zhou Sui asked with an unkind expression, and she answered calmly: "I grew up with him and have known each other since we were young. I have never had any feelings for him, but he must have been in love with me."
Zhou Sui sneered.
Huo Yan would die in a few days. The swords on the battlefield had no eyes, and dying from a stray arrow was nothing to mention.
Her beauty is a sharp weapon.
Zhou Sui was able to kill Huo Yan.
There must be someone in this world who can kill Zhou Sui!
…
Thousands of rushing thoughts were suppressed in an instant.
Zhao Xiyan showed no clues, and her smile was a little sweeter than usual: "Did Brother Huo Shi write another article? Can you let me take a look?"
Looking at the flowery smiling face so close, Huo Yan's heart warmed up, his heart beat faster, and he responded with a smile: "Sister Zhao has outstanding academic skills, is familiar with the four books and five classics, and writes good articles. If she were a man, I wouldn't be able to do it.
Today, Sister Zhao is willing to point out my article, and I am very happy."
Pooh!
Flatterer!
Xu Jing was furious and wanted to reach out and pick up the kid's clothes and throw him out.
It's a shame that the ignorant master likes this hypocritical little white face. Sister Yue Yaer was also deceived. She actually smiled at Huo Yan, took the article from the master, read it carefully, and then praised it.
Fan.
Huo Yan's whole face lit up: "I don't dare to praise Sister Zhao. My articles are not popular enough, so I have to continue to study with Master."
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Huo Shi is too self-effacing. In my opinion, Brother Huo Shi will definitely pass the exam this autumn. At this time next year, it will be time to take the exam in the capital."
The Jin Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, imperial examinations in high schools, and roll call outside Donghua Gate, which was the dream of all scholars.
Zhao Yuanming was the number one scholar in the Jin Dynasty, winning three consecutive prizes, and his fame was immense, which also made the Zhao family famous.
Huo Yan's eyes were shining, and his voice was a little more energetic: "I hope that as Sister Zhao said, I will live up to Master's many years of teaching."
Xu Jing glanced sideways at Huo Yan and said in a harsh tone: "Master won three yuan in a row and was the number one scholar in the Jin Dynasty. Junior brother Bie Fengda flashed his tongue."
Huo Yan smiled and replied: "Senior brother, due to his status, is inconvenient to take part in the imperial examination. It is a pity that the Jin Dynasty has lost its talents."
Xu Jing didn't feel guilty at all, and responded arrogantly: "That's true."
Even though Zhao Xiyan was deep in thought, she was also amused.
Zhao Yuanming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hand and said: "That's it, it's rare to take a break, I want to accompany Yue Ya'er. You two should go back!"
Originally, he wanted to keep the meal. Looking at the two teenagers who looked like fried chickens, Zhao Yuanming felt a headache and simply drove them away.
After the Master spoke, Xu Jing and Huo Yan had no choice but to leave.
After the two people came out of the study, they looked at each other and sneered.
Huo Yan sneered in his heart, but Xu Jing showed it directly on his face.
"It's my birthday the day after tomorrow, junior brother, don't forget to come." Xu Jingpi said with a smile.
Huo Yan opened his mouth and responded: "I will definitely go."
After leaving Zhao Mansion, Huo Yan got into a carriage.
Xu Jing chuckled disdainfully, turned over and mounted the horse neatly and elegantly. The horse was extremely steeding, its body was white, and only four of its hooves were black.
Fresh clothes, angry horses, young men in a romantic mood.
Huo Yan is also a handsome young man, but compared with the Prince of Beihai in front of him, he suddenly pales in comparison.
Not to mention, the Prince of Beihai travels with at least twenty soldiers. Each of these soldiers has sharp eyes, is tall and brave, and gallops together with a fierce and awe-inspiring force.
Huo Yan watched Xu Jing and his party go away, with a dark flame of jealousy flashing in his eyes.
