Chapter 51: The Latent Ink Artist

In the middle of the night, Huo Guang was once again awakened by the pain from his chest. He almost didn't sleep much that night. However, knowing that the wound was starting to hurt, it proved that the muscles were healing. Huo Guang estimated that at his age, the wound should be recovered in about ten days and healed in at most one month.

"Second Master, do you want to call the doctor?" Lan'er kept guarding by Huo Guang's bed. Although the doctor said that nothing was wrong, Huo Qubing still asked someone to stay by Huo Guang's side at all times. Xian'er and Lan'er changed rest to take care of Huo Guang.

"It's okay, by the way, has Li Yan slept?" Huo Guang shook his head. He remembered that Li Yan had never been there since the nightfall, so he asked casually.

"Miss Li came just now. She left when she saw that you were already asleep, and she thought you had already fallen asleep." Lan'er did see Li Yan just now, but Huo Guang was not awake at that time, and Li Yan didn't want to disturb Huo Guang so she left quietly.

"Go and serve me a bowl of porridge. I haven't eaten for a day and I'm really hungry." Huo Guang was half awakened by the pain in his wound, and half of him awakened by hunger.

"I'll go now." Lan'er quickly got up and walked out.

Not long after, Huo Guang heard footsteps outside the door, but there was more than one person. Sure enough, in addition to Lan'er and Li Yan came into the room. At this time, Li Yan had already washed up and changed into clean clothes.

However, Huo Guang discovered that Li Yan had changed into a green patterned dark clothes at this moment, which changed her previous image of wearing zip clothes. You should know that the management of clothing in the Western Han Dynasty was extremely strict. Ordinary people were strictly prohibited from wearing colored clothes, and could only wear true colored clothes. Only servants in the Hou's mansion were wearing zip clothes. The general manager Huo Tong thought that it was impossible for Li Yan to wear zip clothes, right? He also made an decision to give Li Yan a set of zip clothes without authorization.

Huo Guang looked at Li Yan and thought to himself that this person was indeed true with clothes. Originally, Li Yan had a peerless posture, but now she changed into clothes and her image and temperament were getting higher. She was like a fairy who fell from the mortal world in the nine heavens, making people unbearable to blasphemy.

"Haha, Yan'er is not asleep yet? You are so beautiful in this dress!" Huo Guang said sincerely.

Li Yan held a bowl and sat carefully next to Huo Guang.

"Just just now, I got up and took a look when I heard something happen in your room. When Sister Lan'er said that you want to eat, I came over. Lying down and don't move, I'll feed you." Li Yan said, while holding a spoonful of porridge and gently blowing the porridge to cool it down.

"It seems that this injury is not entirely beneficial. At least Yan'er can feed me porridge." Huo Guang joked, and his heart also felt very sweet.

"I'm not serious yet. It seems that the assassin's sword is not harsh enough." Li Yan glared at Huo Guang angrily. Although he said it was powerful, his tenderness could not be hidden in his eyes.

Li Yan put a spoonful of porridge to Huo Guang's mouth and fed it carefully. Looking at Li Yan's careful and gentle appearance, Huo Guang suddenly felt that his life seemed to have a new beginning, and at this moment he finally made a decision. No matter what the future holds, he will never let Li Yan become the wife of Li in history. Even Emperor Wu of Han cannot snatch her away from him!

"What are you thinking? By the way, why did the assassin kill you?" Li Yan noticed the strange look of Huo Guang, but she probably thought Huo Guang was thinking about the assassin. In fact, Li Yan was also very curious about why the assassin wanted to kill Huo Guang. If Huo Guang didn't find the assassin for a day, Huo Guang might live in danger, which was also what Li Yan was worried about.

"I don't know. But my brother will definitely find out clearly. You should be careful in the future. After all, you have seen him." Huo Guang didn't want Li Yan to worry, so he didn't want him to know too much. At the same time, Huo Guang also felt that since he had made up his mind, he could not let Li Yan be hurt in the future. If this matter was really done by Sang Hongyang, it would be difficult to guarantee that this guy would not be detrimental to Li Yan. It seems that Li Yan's safety also needs to be considered.

"I'm going back tomorrow. You have to lie down on the bed and get better soon." Li Yan fed Huo Guang a spoonful of porridge and continued. Lan'er had already been very sensible and retreated outside the room.

"Ah, how can this be done? Who can accompany me after you leave? I will not be bored to death by lying like this every day?" Huo Guang knew that Li Yan could not live in the Marquis' Mansion forever now, but he was reluctant to let Li Yan go.

"Okay, I'll come to see you in a few days." Li Yan also liked Huo Guang's reaction in her heart. The situation between the two of them is that they are in love, but no one has broken the window paper and explained it.

"Yan'er, don't worry, it won't take long to prepare a big mansion for you in Chang'an City." Huo Guang said solemnly this time, without a trace of laughter. In fact, Huo Guang is already fifteen years old and has barely reached the age of getting married in this era. It's not too early to talk about marriage now.

Huo Guang's words were already very obvious. Li Yan was so embarrassed that she red-hot, but she lowered her head and replied in a low voice. "Well, I believe!"

I don’t know if it was because Huo Guang was in a good mood or the wound was too painful, but he didn’t fall asleep all night anyway. After dawn, Li Yan said a few words and returned to Maoling’s home. Huo Guang fell asleep after Li Yan left.

"I have met the marquis."

"Are you awake?"

"The second master's wound hurt so much last night. He didn't sleep much. He just fell asleep this morning and hasn't woken up yet."

Huo Guang was confused and heard someone whispering outside the house. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was bright outside, as if it was already noon.

"Is it my brother here? I'm awake, please come in." Huo Guang heard that the person outside the house was Huo Qubing and his maid Xian'er's voice, so he shouted.

Sure enough, as soon as Huo Guang's voice fell, Huo Qubing pushed the door and entered. Huo Guang struggled to sit up a little, and Huo Qubing quickly walked to the edge of the bed and reached out to press his hand on Huo Guang's shoulder. "Don't move, you are injured by a sword, don't move the wound."

"Brother, I have something to ask for instructing you." Huo Qubing said as soon as he sat beside the bed.

"Why should you and my brothers be so polite? Just say anything," said Huo Qubing.

"I want to ask my brother to send someone to secretly protect Yan'er, and I'm a little worried about her comfort." Huo Guang didn't want to regret it in the future, so he didn't want to delay this matter.

"This is a trivial matter, I will send someone to go there. You have a good rest these days, don't worry, you have a little bit of an eye about the identity of the assassin. Your sword will not be so in vain." Huo Qubing nodded in agreement, but what Huo Guang didn't expect was that Huo Qubing really found the clues of the assassin overnight.

"Who is the assassin? If we can find evidence of Sang Hongyang's envoy from him, we can get rid of Sang Hongyang's serious trouble." Huo Guang asked hurriedly. In fact, he didn't care much about the assassin Huo Guang, and it was Sang Hongyang who really paid attention to it.

"If you can find evidence of Sang Hongyang, you will have to wait until you catch the assassin to know. The assassin who assassinated you should be a person in the Dark Pavilion." Huo Qubing received the news early this morning that Zhao Ponu and Gao Bushi had ruled out the possibility of the Chang'an Ranger assassination, and based on the direction in which the assassin finally escaped, he finally locked his target to the Dark Pavilion.

"Dang Pavilion? What is this?" This was the first time Huo Guang heard this name, but he felt that this should be an organization.

"This matter is long and has a lot of connections. The Ange is actually an organization of the Mo family, and the members of it are all top assassins who are good at assassination." Huo Qubing said with a serious expression.

"The Mo family organization, but hasn't Your Majesty listed the Mo family as heresy? Even the Mo people were almost arrested and killed. Why did the existence of the Dark Pavilion appear?" Huo Guang found that what he was in contact with now was something that was not recorded in history books. You should know that after Emperor Wu of Han dismissed hundreds of schools, Confucianism absorbed and transformed the Fa, Tao, Yin and Yang schools, but the Mo schools were listed as heresy and suppressed.

Because the Mozhe is a quasi-military organization with a strong organization and strong combat effectiveness, they try to create an ideal country of "economic love and mutual benefit" with their own strength. This has obviously created an irreconcilable contradiction with the rule of imperial power. The Mozhe still has room for survival in troubled times, but once the world is unified, it will inevitably become the biggest threat to the ruling class. Therefore, after the Warring States Period, the Mozhe was suppressed and strangled like the cults in later generations.

"There are many talented people among the Mo people. Although they have been suppressed, the court cannot eradicate them. Although even their giants disappeared in the end, these people established the Dark Pavilion. This organization specializes in assassination and as long as they can afford money, they can kill people for you. However, the Dark Pavilion also has a rule, that is, they never accept business of assassinating court officials and royal relatives, because it is difficult for these people to be completely eradicated. In addition, they have established such a rule, which can be considered a tacit understanding with the imperial court, and they have always been at peace." Huo Qubing said in a leisurely manner, as if he knew this Dark Pavilion organization in particular.

"The giant is missing? Could it be that these people are actually accumulating strength in the dark pavilion and looking for their giant at the same time?" Huo Guang also knew that the giant was the leader of the Mozhe. In Huo Guang's mind, the establishment of the dark pavilion is probably waiting for the giant to return.

"Maybe it, if the giant really appears one day, Your Majesty will definitely send an army to wipe out the Dark Pavilion. I remember that the mysterious old man you mentioned may be a member of the Mo family, and his status should be not low." Huo Qubing did not care about the purpose of the Dark Pavilion. As long as this organization did not threaten the court, it would have nothing to do with him, but he never forgot the mysterious old man fabricated by Huo Guang.

Huo Guang smiled in silence, and he knew in his heart that he didn't know any old man from the Mo family.

"Does your brother want to attack Master An?" Huo Guang thought for a while and said. Since even Emperor Wu of Han did not have the courage to completely eliminate the Unknown Pavilion, he also wanted to ask the Unknown Pavilion for an explanation in this matter. At the same time, Huo Guang also estimated that the Unknown Pavilion might have been used as a gun by Sang Hongyang this time, because he was also an official of the court, and there were assassins in the Unknown Pavilion to assassinate him, which means they did not know that they had an official position.

Huo Guang knew that compared to the court, this dark pavilion was indeed very difficult. Because once soldiers were sent to wipe out it, it would definitely be difficult to eliminate it. Once the force was used against it, what followed was these people's endless revenge and assassination, so even Emperor Wu of Han would not want to cause trouble.

"After your injury heals, I will take you to the Ange Pavilion in person. Others fear the Ange Pavilion as if it were tigers, so I, Huo Qubing, would go and stroke the tiger's beard!" Huo Qubing said domineeringly.

Huo Guang felt as if he and Huo Qubing were going to negotiate in the underworld. Now he realized that no matter what period, there were two black and white. It turns out that there were rivers and lakes where there were people! Of course, the so-called going to the Dark Pavilion to ask for an explanation was actually to find the real culprit behind the scenes. Only by eradicating this person can the hidden danger be completely solved.
