Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in Huo Ji's eyes: "Could it be him?"

The eldest young master mentioned by the housekeeper is Huo Yan's real legitimate son and his only son.

At the age of ten, Huo Jiaqi was favored by the late emperor and appointed as the left prime minister.

Although Huo Jiaqi lost his mother when he was young, he was just as smart and sharp in politics as Shen Jiao.

Not only was he resourceful, he implemented a series of reforms and reforms, and made several plans to help the border officers repel the Beirong barbarians.

It also caused the status of the gentry to plummet, and made merchants and farmers no longer humble.

In recent years, in Xiliang, Huo Jiaqi wrote to establish the country, military forces He Liang took up the horse to Anbang, Shen Jiao intervened in the government affairs, and externally there was a puppet emperor who was restrained by others.

Since He Liang became the regent, he removed Huo Jiaqi from his position as left prime minister and drove him out of Phoenix City, leaving Shen Jiao's father to sit alone as the only right prime minister.

Huo Jiaqi did nothing from beginning to end, and did not resist at all. He just allowed himself to be deported to a small county and became an inconspicuous county magistrate.

Now, somehow, I have returned to Phoenix City.

Could it be possible that it was arranged by the little emperor?

As the 'illegitimate son' of the Huo family, Huo Ji has never seen this cheap brother.

But he had heard about Huo Jiaqi's glorious deeds many times from General Huo and Huo Yan.

He and Su Zhen had persisted in Xiliang for so long. If Huo Jiaqi discovered that he was not Huo Yan's illegitimate son, or even discovered his true identity and revealed it to the little emperor, then all their hard work would be over.

Seeing Huo Ji's worried look, the housekeeper mistakenly thought that he was afraid that his brothers would fall in love with each other, so he sighed and comforted him: "Prince, don't worry, although the eldest son is the eldest son, he has always been kind and generous, and he is waiting for you to get along with him." Over time, we will definitely discover each other's goodness."

Huo Ji smiled bitterly, turned around, and walked directly towards the general's mansion.

The housekeeper followed closely, still mumbling something, but Huo Ji couldn't listen.

His eyes were changing quietly. General Huo and Huo Yan's father and son helped him conceal his identity and indulged him in every possible way. Naturally, they treated him extremely well.

He didn't expect Huo Jiaqi to be of use to him, but if it was a last resort.

And he had no choice but to kill Huo Jiaqi. Wouldn't that mean that the Huo family would be extinct?

The distance between him and the Huo family was not just Su Zhen, but the entire Luo Qi family!

No matter how well the Huo family treats him, he is not Huo Ji!

He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion in Luoqi!!!

Although he had already thought that sooner or later, he would have to make a cruel decision between Luo Qi and the Huo family, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly.

'My sweetheart is Yu Qingwan, but my lover is my country!'

Huo Ji felt mixed emotions in his heart. When he and the housekeeper returned to the gate of the General's Mansion, his feet became extremely heavy and he felt unprecedentedly uneasy.

He gritted his teeth and stepped over the high threshold with his heart.

The servants in the general's residence looked at him with a slightly strange look. Huo Ji had something on his mind and was too lazy to pay attention to it.

However, when he came to the main hall with an extremely heavy heart, he found General Huo and Huo Yan sitting upright, their faces a little ugly, and they had a mixture of joy and sorrow.

A monk stood in the center of the hall. Because his back was turned to him, he could not see his face clearly.

After hearing his footsteps, both of them looked at him.

"Ji'er? Why are you back?" Huo Yan asked.

Huo Ji walked in with a pretending to be relaxed pace: "I just happened to meet the housekeeper on the street. I heard from him that my brother is back, so I came here specially to see him."

"Oh, that's it! Ji'er, let me introduce to you, that bastard next to you is your eldest brother! Huo Jiaqi!" Huo Yan said angrily.

Huo Ji turned to look at the monk beside him, and the monk also turned around.

He is very handsome, but he doesn't look like Huo Yan or General Huo. Maybe he looks like his mother.

Although the top of his head has been shaved, there are no scars, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised when he smiles.

With just this glance, Huo Ji felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up, but he didn't know why.

"Huo Ji meets my brother."

In any case, he still bowed respectfully first.

"Amitabha, the donor, the poor monk is no longer the legitimate son of the Huo family, and the monk's name has passed away."

Dust?!

Huo Ji was stunned by these two words. He pinched his arm hard and let out a hiss in pain.

"Brother's dharma name is Luochen?"

"Exactly."

Although he kept smiling, Huo Ji felt that it was very fake.

"I wonder why my brother became a monk?"

Huo Ji's question directly touched the hearts of the father and son next to him.

"The poor monk has been in officialdom since he was young. He has seen too much glory and desolation, and naturally he is tired of it."

Are you going to become a monk when you get tired of it?

It is said that if you practice three hundred and sixty, you will be the number one scholar.

Is it illegal to resign and change your career in Xiliang?!

Huo Jiaqi seemed to have understood what Huo Ji was thinking, so he smiled and said: "The poor monk was kicked out of Phoenix City. On his way to Yonghe County to take up a post, he met an old god. After his advice, he decided to leave the world of mortals."

"Is it possible that my brother is homesick when he comes back this time?" Huo Ji's hands gradually tightened.

The eyes of the person in front of me are very transparent and clear, but there is a sense of emptiness, containing endless great wisdom. It makes people feel that he is far and near, and elusive.

"The donor has misunderstood. The poor monk is here to look for someone."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for, brother?"

"Three months ago, a poor monk observed the sky at night and discovered that a disaster star appeared in Xiliang. If this evildoer is not eliminated, Xiliang will be in danger."

Disaster star? Where did the disaster star come from?

Could it be that the person he was talking about was Su Zhen?

Not only Huo Ji had this guess, but even the Huo family father and son also thought so.

Huo Ji asked tentatively: "Brother, have you found that monster?"

"Of course I found it."

At this time, a cold voice outside the door interrupted Huo Jiaqi: "Oh? Where is the monster?"

Huo Ji watched Su Zhen come in, and his heart suddenly lifted: "Aning? Why are you here?"

Su Zhen never changed out of her doctor's uniform. She must have rushed over after receiving the news.

"I heard that the prince's brother, the prime minister, was back. I was curious, so I couldn't help but come back and have a look."

As she spoke, she looked at Huo Jiaqi, but her smile suddenly froze on her face: "Monk?"

Her word "monk" and her familiar tone didn't sound like she was telling Huo Jiaqi's new identity, but more like a "title" for an old friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

Su Zhen's eyes changed from happiness to anger, from anger to sadness, then from sadness to murderous intent, until finally, they returned to peace.

But despite this, her fleeting emotions still betrayed her.
