Big man: I am the Champion Marquis!

If Huo Xian wanted to kill some people quietly, it might not be difficult.

If they were just some ordinary eunuchs, or even some low-ranking officials, their death would probably be just that, death.

If he got impulsive, Wei Zifu and Liu Ju thought it would be difficult for ordinary people to stop him. But they definitely didn't want Huo Xian to do that, not because of Huo Qubing's previous experience, but because it was not worth it.

So the Queen and the Crown Prince hurriedly tried to dissuade them. If there really was a villain causing trouble, the Queen and the Crown Prince were not just for show. What they feared most was that it was easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. If they found the villain, they had plenty of ways to deal with him.

After chatting with Wei Zifu and Liu Ju about many things and holding the child, Huo Shan prepared to leave.

He had no plan to stay in the palace overnight. He had his own mansion. He had finally returned to Chang'an and he still had a lot of things to do.

"The Lord is back!" Chen Sanlang, who was guarding the gate, was overjoyed when he saw Huo Xian. "The Lord is back!"

Chen Ju and others also ran out, all of them were smiling. Although they knew that the prince had returned to Chang'an, who knew when he would be able to return home? Maybe he would stay in the palace for several days.

Seeing everyone in the mansion happy, Huo Xian was also very happy. After being apart for nearly half a year, he must be happy to see his family again.

Although it was good in the palace, whether it was Wei Zifu, Liu Ju, or Liu Che, it was still a bit stressful to get along with them, and there were also some "utilitarian" factors involved.

Seeing Feng Dan, Huo Xian immediately became anxious, "Shouldn't you be outside?"

Feng Dan smiled and said, "My Lord, this is really not my fault. It was my Lord's intention to stay outside, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the General successively issued military orders, so I naturally had to return to the capital."

Huo Xian nodded and said, "Since it was arranged by the general, there must be a reason. I will go to the general's mansion tomorrow to ask how they got it back to you."

Feng Dan said irresponsibly, "I don't understand either, but these matters can only be discussed by the prince and the general. No matter what the result of the discussion is, I will do the work."

Feng Xu said unhappily, "Normally you should respect the general, but you are from my Guanjun Marquis Mansion, so you should obey the marquis first! You all remember this, the general's military orders are contrary to the marquis's, so you can only obey the marquis!"

Feng Dan said quickly, "Aunt, we all know this. Although it is a little contradictory this time, we still have the prince's decree. We must obey it, otherwise it will be difficult for you."

"It's okay. The general has never doubted me." Huo Xian said with a smile, "There must be some mistakes in my arrangements. The general has always been thoughtful. I am still young and not calm enough."

Feng Xu said unhappily, "Your Excellency has made such great achievements at such a young age, why can't you be calm? There are countless officers in the Han army, who can be like you?"

Chen Ju and others also nodded repeatedly. Their Junhou was the best and no one could compare to him. The only one who was better than Junhou was a general. Even a great general could only rank third.

Huo Xian was too lazy to say anything about the fact that some of his own troops were ignoring his relatives, because he knew it was useless to say anything.

Chen Wan raised her head and said, "My Lord, my little Lord!"

"The little prince is in the palace, you should eat more and grow taller, so that you can play with the little prince in the future." Huo Xian encouraged with a smile, "I haven't seen you for half a year, how come you have gained weight?"

Chen Ju said lovingly, "This child eats meat every day. This is only possible in your family. How can ordinary people do this? It's unreasonable for him not to gain weight when he eats so well."

"I eat well and don't gain weight. I just want to be big and strong." Huo Xian said as he walked towards the main hall, "My physique doesn't look like a general. I should be big and strong."

Chen Ju and others were also somewhat worried about this, as their own prince was indeed the general's son.

The general used to be tall and handsome, so no matter whether it was the "brave and vigorous" Captain Piao Yao or the "fierce and flying" General Huoqi, they were both the most realistic portrayals of his own general.

Other generals are all big and strong, and if our generals and princes wore Confucian robes, they would be considered scholars.

Accepting gifts from the whole mansion in the main hall is a custom and etiquette, not only when returning from a campaign, but also when returning from a long journey.

Even though Huo Xian had always been lenient towards the people in the mansion, and even though the four generals and others had never treated themselves as outsiders, they all knew that there were certain etiquettes that they still had to observe.

Apart from the four great generals, only Feng Dan is qualified to stay, while others can only leave after paying their respects.

Chen Ju handed over a piece of brocade, which recorded what happened during the time when Huo Xian was away from Beijing. In addition to major events in the court, there were also the movements of some members of the Wei Huo Group.

After Huo Xian looked at it carefully, he handed it to Chen Ju. Feng Dan immediately brought a brazier and burned the brocade in front of him.

It is said that the Guanjun Marquis Mansion is full of warriors, and these people seem unable to do delicate work, which makes sense.

None of the four generals were considered qualified stewards, and even though Chen Sanlang seemed to have "come from behind", among the powerful and wealthy class in Chang'an, Chen Sanlang, the steward of the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion, was at the bottom of the list.

However, just because they are not as good as other powerful people in some things does not mean that these people in the Marquis Guanjun’s Mansion are useless. They are not all good at fighting. Their sensitivity to some things far exceeds that of ordinary butlers.

Huo Xian smiled and said, "When it's time to pay a visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can go there. You don't need to worry about it when I'm in Chang'an. When I'm not in Chang'an, you must send the gifts."

Although Chen Ju and others were somewhat unconvinced, they would not refute it. After all, there was still Wei Ru in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After saying this, Huo Xian joked, "I just returned to Chang'an. I estimate that there will be a lot of visiting cards arriving starting tomorrow. Remember to take a close look and don't stop them. I won't hold a banquet for three days."

Chen Ju and the others understood and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, my lord. Apart from our own family, we will only let An Guo come."

"An Guo, An Guo." Huo Xian criticized with a smile, "Uncle Chen, An Guo is a real marquis, and you don't have any title."

Chen Ju said unconvincedly, "I watched him grow up, is it wrong for me to call him by his name? If I call him Lord, I wonder if he dares to respond!"

Feng Xu also said, "That's right. These people were granted titles because of the marquis. If they act like marquises in front of us, they won't be able to enter the gate of the Marquis of Champion Mansion!"

Huo Xian was speechless for a moment, because what Chen Ju and others said was really very reasonable. Although Zhao Anguo, Feng Dan and others were now marquises, it was not necessarily that they could always put on the pomp of a marquis. It would be fine if they were in the ranks of others, but the main thing was that the four generals of the Marquis of Guanjun had a special status. They were the trusted generals that Huo Qubing left for Huo Xian, which gave them some face in front of the emperor and the generals.

The most important thing is to look at the Buddha's face rather than the monk's. Huo Xian is extremely close to the four generals, so he can be regarded as a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. There is no reason to offend them.

Huo Xian asked curiously, "After An Guo returned, did he stay in the military camp or did he stay in the mansion?"

Chen Ju replied, "After returning, he came to the mansion and then ran between his mansion and the military camp. It seemed that he was training the Yulin and Orphan Army and selected a lot of people to fill in."

Huo Xian immediately laughed, "This An Guo is more capable than me. If I were half as diligent as him, I would definitely surpass the general and become the best in the army."

Chen Ju and others said bluntly, "An Guo is indeed diligent, but he is not talented enough to be as good as Lao Zhao. He can only be more diligent, otherwise he will never be able to keep up with you, my Lord."

Zhao Po Nu was a talented general, after all, he was Huo Qubing's deputy general, and he had the ability to lead tens of thousands of troops alone. There were only a handful of such people in the Han Dynasty, but Chen Ju and others had too high a vision.

This cannot be blamed on them. They followed Huo Qubing in their teenage years and witnessed the sudden emergence of that genius. They also witnessed the sudden rise of Huo Shan. They have seen many geniuses, so Zhao Po Nu is not worth mentioning.

In their eyes, Zhao Po Nu was just relatively powerful, let alone Zhao An Guo, who was even more insignificant.

Huo Xian was too lazy to say anything about this, because it was actually of no use. Everyone had different ideas in their minds, so there was naturally no need to force anything.

He talked carefully with Chen Ju and others about some things that happened when he was not in Chang'an. Even though Huo Shan seemed to be not involved in state affairs, he was the Grand Marshal and General of Cavalry after all.

Just this identity has a huge impact on the government. To say that you don't care at all is obviously a lie. It doesn't exist at all.

Fortunately, everything seemed to be relatively calm. There wasn't much for him to worry about, and nothing bad happened.

Huo Xian was a little dazed for a moment regarding the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion; he was still somewhat unfamiliar with the scenery here.

It was only recently that they moved to this mansion in Shanglinyuan. In addition, he had been away for a long time. If the seasons changed, the scenery around the Marquis Guanjun Mansion would also change.

Seeing Huo Xian walk into the bedroom, Lin Mei stepped forward and asked in a tender voice, "Lord, how is the young Lord now?"

Huo Xian naturally put his hand into Lin Mei's clothes and said comfortably, "She is plump, eats a lot and makes a lot of noise. But judging from the Queen's intention, she needs to be kept in the palace for at least half a year before I can bring her back."

Lin Mei was a little envious. She actually wanted to compete with Han Yunniang before. Han Yunniang was sent by the emperor, and she was sent by the prince's mansion. They were all carefully selected.

Marquis Guanjun didn't marry, so even though Han Yunniang seemed to have seized the initiative, they were all concubines, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.

But now it's different, Han Yunniang has a child, which means she has seized the initiative and is almost invincible. And all Lin Mei can do now is to hope to have a son or daughter as soon as possible.

These are all very realistic things. If one does not have children, one's situation will be very embarrassing when one is old and ugly. She has also seen many women who used their beauty to please men suffer when they are old.

I slept until I woke up naturally. Seven or eight o'clock is considered early. Now the sun is high above my head, so I slept until noon.

Huo Xian hurriedly put on his clothes and shouted, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhao, get ready and go to the General's Mansion immediately!"

While helping Huo Xian put on his clothes, Lin Mei said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so anxious. It's already this late, the general and the others must have finished their meal."

How could one arrive at noon when visiting a friend? That would be extremely rude of the Han dynasty, especially if one had not sent a visiting card or received an invitation. It would be even more rude to just go there like that.

Huo Xian didn't care about that and said directly, "You won't understand even if I tell you. Hurry up and get ready to wash up. I'm leaving now."

Lin Mei didn't really understand some things, but Chen Ju and the others did. They didn't need Huo Xian to give any special instructions. In fact, they had already prepared everything and were just waiting for the prince to wake up.

If the prince has not woken up by noon, they should go and wake him up.

Huo Xian finished washing up in a hurry, and then set off immediately. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast. He had to hurry over there, otherwise it would be really impolite.

Seeing Huo Xian jump off his horse, the soldiers of the General's Mansion joked, "My Lord, we guessed that you would arrive by now, but we didn't expect you to arrive so late."

"You've been busy running around outside, and there are a lot of things to do in the mansion. I couldn't handle them all in a short time, so I was delayed." Huo Xian spoke without any burden, "It took a lot of effort to figure out the clues, so I hurried over."

Several troops in the General's Mansion were laughing. The Champion Marquis was still as unreliable as ever. Everyone knew that he came so late. However, the Champion Marquis was so shameless, which was rare among the powerful.

Although he is shameless, we have to admit that Marquis Guanjun is not arrogant. He has a very good relationship with everyone in the General's Mansion and they can all talk and laugh with each other.

Chen Ju said unhappily, "Why don't you just stand here and watch without telling anyone?"

"Old Chen, when did the Lord need to be informed?" The general's man replied, "Come with me to the dental room to have some wine. If we really inform him, he will be an outsider!"

There was nothing wrong with this statement. Huo Shan never sent a visiting card when he came to the General's Mansion. He just jumped in. The generals in the General's Mansion never stopped Huo Shan.

Huo Xian trotted away with an anxious look on his face, "Uncle, there are too many things going on in the mansion. Uncle Chen and his men are too unreasonable. I have to deal with everything, and I haven't dealt with it yet."

Wei Qing kept a straight face and said nothing, so Princess Pingyang said, "Come on, who are you pretending for? If you get up late, then so be it. Who can blame you?"

Huo Xian looked at Wei Qing. This is the guy who is going to say that I am greedy for pleasure and have no manners.

Princess Pingyang also laughed and helped to resolve the situation, "Han'er has been traveling outside for the past six months and is already exhausted. He came to pay his respects to you after only one night's rest, and you even gave the child a cold shoulder. How can you be such an uncle?"

Wei Qing sighed. It was so difficult to discipline Huo Xian strictly. There were too many people protecting him. Forget it. I will discipline him strictly next time! (End of this chapter)
