After the innkeeper and others rejected him twice in person, they felt that they had almost figured out Wen's people, and planned to talk about the monthly increase when they came to persuade them for the third time.

But what they didn't expect was that this third time of persuasion had not yet arrived.

What they earn is monthly money. Not working means no income, and the money will naturally be spent less and less.

This group of people can still wait for four or five days, but half a month has passed, can they still wait?

At this time, Gu Yuzhi had no time to pay attention to the workers who came to the inn. He shook his feet and looked curiously at Marshal Huo who was half-kneeling below.

After such a long period of recuperation, Marshal Huo was finally able to go to the ground.

The first thing he did was ask to see Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yuzhi looked at Marshal Huo's white hair, but his wrinkled face was full of perseverance. His eyes were tired but clear. He was still bandaged, but his back was straight and his aura was strong.

He glanced at Xie Changshi and saw that he had stood up, and then said: "Get up quickly, you are still injured, sit down and talk."

In fact, he originally wanted to see Marshal Huo, but Xie Changshi said no. No matter what they thought, Marshal Huo was now an exile.

After the words fell, Xie Changshi hurriedly stepped forward to help Marshal Huo get up, carefully helped him sit down, and squeezed his arm with a gentle hand: "Marshal Huo, you are tired."

Huo Qiyuan glanced at Xie Changshi and suddenly laughed: "It's nothing. Whether it's training or working in the iron mine, it makes no difference to me."

During this period, Gu Yuzhi had heard too much about Marshal Huo from Xie Changshi. Teacher Shu had long been attracted to Huo Qiyuan.

When he heard what he said, he wiped away tears immediately: "How can there be no difference? In the past, he was a powerful general who could call upon the wind and rain, but now he is a prisoner, an exile who can be beaten by the government officials whenever they want. How can it be the same?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Shopkeeper Wen rolled his eyes fiercely, but because his eyes were small, no one noticed: "It's still unclear whether Huo Qiyuan is a good person, so you started crying first."

Shu Xiaohan responded strongly: "What do you know!"

As a person of the 21st century, she has a natural affinity for people wearing green military uniforms.

What's more, such a veteran general with great military exploits.

When Gu Yuzhi saw that the two of them were quarreling over these things again, he shook his head like a young adult and corrected with helplessness on his face: "Teacher Shu, the general can't call the wind and rain, that's what the gods in the storybook can do!"

After he finished speaking, Xie Changshi burst into laughter: "Marshal Huo is open-minded."

Huo Qiyuan curled his lips and took the initiative to talk about this matter: "Your Highness, you should know that there is no iron left to mine. Those who should be pardoned should be given a guide to return to their place of origin, while we will let the emperor make a new decision. . But the pardon has not come yet, so the government officials are naturally dissatisfied and beat and scold the exiled people at every turn."

The Huo family was skilled in martial arts, and their prestige in the iron mines was quite high. Naturally, the government officials did not dare to take it out on them. Those exiles who had been pardoned were unlucky. The two sides clashed several times, and the government officials became increasingly angry. Come more and more.

"The guilty minister knows that these government officials have contact with some people across the state, so he has been paying close attention to them. This iron mine collapse was man-made by these government officials. They want to take us..."

Huo Qiyuan was silent for a moment and then continued: "Especially our Huo family members are completely buried under the iron ore. The guilty minister knew the news very late, so he could only let Quanzi find a way to move the people out first."

He knew that his every move would be closely watched by the government officials, so Huo Qiyuan originally planned to use his own life in exchange for the hope of survival for others.

Unexpectedly, not long after Huo Liangyao and others went out, the government officials noticed it. During the fight, one of the principal criminals escaped along the tunnel.

This man was about to go out, and the news that the Huo family was still alive could no longer be concealed. Huo Qiyuan pursued him without thinking.The injuries on his body were caused by the collapse of the iron mine.

Gu Yuzhi remembered how he looked when he found Huo Qiyuan, and his face turned pale. With so much blood, Marshal Huo must have been in pain at that time.

He thought again of the smell of soup and medicine coming from the kitchen during this period, and his little face couldn't help but wrinkled.

Marshal Huo's injury is so serious, I don't know how long he will need to drink medicine to recover.

With his big eyes rolling, he handed over a plate of preserved fruits: "Mr. Huo, eat some preserved fruits."

Because Huo Qiyuan was now a criminal, Gu Yuzhi naturally couldn't call him Marshal Huo.

But when asked by name, Teacher Shu said he didn't respect others very much, so he called him Mr. Huo.

Huo Qiyuan looked at the plate of preserved fruit, and he didn't follow Gu Yuzhi's thoughts. He turned to look at Xie Changshi, and saw Xie Changshi's doting smile.

Xie Changshi explained: "His Highness must have thought that you would feel a little bitter after taking the medicine during this period, so he asked you to sweeten your mouth."

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head: "Yes, yes. The medicine ordered by Qin Yuan is very bitter. Please eat more of these preserved fruits. They are all made by Grandma Xu. They are very delicious."

Huo Qiyuan stood up hurriedly and saluted Gu Yuzhi: "Your Highness, guilty minister, guilty minister really cannot express the gratitude in his heart."

When he woke up, he heard that it was His Highness King Wen who found him.

The place where he was injured and unconscious was so far away from the iron mine. If it weren't for King Wen, he would definitely be a corpse now.

He had been on the battlefield for so many years and had escaped death countless times, but never had he felt so clear and regretful as this time.

He would rather die on the battlefield than die in other people's calculations.

Gu Yuzhi looked at his gloomy eyes and scratched his head: "Mr. Huo, you should get better soon. Xie Changshi and I have discussed it. You don't need to go anywhere else. Just stay in Xinliang and help me." Train your bodyguards.”

Xie Changshi said that according to the specifications, he should have three thousand personal guards.

It’s just that there aren’t that many people in Xinliang now.

Xin Liang's current guards are the guards who followed him to Mobei. In addition, Qi Chenglang selected some young adults with better foundation.

However, because Qi Chenglang and Zhang Yuankai often had to deal with escorts, these young adults had no formal training. The appearance of Marshal Huo just filled this gap.

Huo Qiyuan didn't expect that King Wen would let him train his troops again, even if he was just a personal guard...

He looked shocked, and his heart was filled with excitement that he had been unable to calm down for a long time.

After a while, he turned to look at Xie Changshi and said after careful consideration: "Your Highness, I am afraid that the identity of the guilty minister is not appropriate."

"Don't worry!" Gu Yuzhi said with a smile, "When Eunuch Ran returned to Beijing, I wrote a separate letter to Brother Huang, and the letter mentioned your affairs!"

Huo Qiyuan was even more shocked by this.

No, Your Highness, can you just say that he is still alive and training soldiers?
