"Huo Wenxian, you will not die well!" A shrill curse came from the interrogation area in the prison.

The man in red official uniform heard this, his eyes were cold and without any warmth.

He moved his fingers slightly, and saw that the sword hanging beside his clothes was opened quietly, and the knife stabbed sharply towards the head of the prisoner tied to the cross without any warning.

The prisoner who was still shouting before saw the sharp tip of the knife approaching him quickly. He instantly became mute and his face turned pale. His pants were so frightened that they quickly...wet!

"Sir, the person fainted."

"Wake the person up, and you can continue the interrogation." Huo Wenxian handed the person over to his subordinates without interest.

As the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, Wu Yu has been with the commander Huo Wenxian for five years. He has climbed up the ranks, and he understands Huo Wenxian's temperament best.

Just by looking at the other party's dull expression, one could tell that he had lost interest and had no patience for further interrogation here.

Wu Yu bowed respectfully, "Yes, sir."

As Huo Wenxian left, many prisoners in the prison looked at the man who was as beautiful as a god, but they were not surprised by his appearance.

But fear and hatred.

Eighty percent of the people imprisoned in the imperial edict were important officials of the imperial court. As for Huo Wenxian, as the commander, he personally led people to ransack the homes of most of them.

So, how can the people who are imprisoned not hate him?

But while they hate him, they also know clearly what a terrible and hateful person Huo Wenxian is!

*

Six years ago, when everyone mentioned Huo Wenxian, even the Huo family must have sympathized and pitied him.

The Huo family was full of loyalists, and even Huo Wenxian's own brother died in the final battle with Nanchu. The next month, Huo Wenxian's eldest sister died in childbirth in the palace.

The glory that belonged to the Huo family seemed to have disappeared that year. When everyone mentioned the Huo family, they would only shake their heads and sigh, saying that the Huo family was destined to decline.

Everyone knows that there is only one member left in the Huo family who was determined by the Imperial Master to be childless since he was a child, and that he will have to wait until 42 for his fate.

Not to mention that before this, Huo Wenxian had always been in a simple way, giving the impression that he was just a...sick man with a memory of poor health.

Who dares to marry his daughter to such a person?

Before the Huo family fell, there were indeed many nobles from aristocratic families who wanted to marry with the Huo family. Even high-ranking officials in the court were not without them. There were always legitimate daughters who were reluctant to part with them, and there were always some legitimate second daughters and concubines.

However, the Huo family never agreed at that time, and the news released was the fortune-telling result of the national master.

Later, when something happened to the Huo family and it fell into decline, who would be willing to marry their daughter into such a pit of decline that was destined to decline?

Huo Wenxian's rise came in the second year of his family's earth-shaking changes. He won three points in a row, carried his illness and even participated in the martial arts test. Due to being unwell, he only got third place.

But this achievement shocked the entire capital, and the emperor didn't know what to think. He seemed to have forgotten about the Huo family before, and only gave an insignificant reward of the title of prince and jewelry.

Many courtiers were speculating that the emperor might be wary of the high power of the Huo family. There was also a daughter of the Huo family in the harem who was an imperial concubine. He was worried that his relatives would gain power and would not reuse Huo Wenxian.

As soon as Huo Wenxian's performance came out, the emperor immediately began to re-employ Huo Wenxian, and even let him enter the Jinyi Guards, serving as a member of the Qianhu, a fifth-rank official. This reward was definitely the first one.

Over the years, Huo Wenxian has climbed higher and higher. Last year, he was named the Commander. In the Jinyi Guards, no one has more power than him.

Moreover, Jinyiwei only obeys the emperor's orders. Among all official positions, they are definitely the most special.

Even though many courtiers knew that most of the courtiers captured by Huo Wenxian were ordered by His Majesty, they still couldn't help but hate Huo Wenxian!

Some people even ridiculed Huo Wenxian. The Huo family is full of loyalties. Huo Wenxian's father and elder brothers are all heroes. Huo Wenxian's father protected the Yu State for more than ten years and defeated the enemy several times, but in the end he gave birth to such a treacherous son!

Wenxian...

Wenxian?

He should have been full of expectations and hopes, but as a result, Huo Wenxian has now become the biggest traitor in the Yu Kingdom, and everyone can punish him!

Huo Wenxian heard the man behind him wake up and continue shouting - Huo Wenxian, you must die a good death!

His eyes were dull, and he twitched the corners of his lips with an indifferent expression.

Die badly?

Even if the Huo family was loyal to repay the emperor, they would still die badly. If so, what's the difference?

After leaving the prison, Huo Wenxian moved his slightly wrinkled sleeves.

"My lord." A guard in royal robes was waiting at the gate of the prison, holding the horse's reins.

There were several people waiting nearby. They were all Huo Wenxian's followers. Now that Huo Wenxian held a high position and had a special status, there were countless people who wanted to kill him.

Huo Wenxian moved neatly, holding the reins with one hand, and sat firmly on the horse with a flying body. His body was stained with a faint smell of blood, and he seemed to have been used to it for a long time. As if he hadn't noticed, "Go back home."

As soon as he said these words, he galloped away, and several of his followers with swords also pulled on the reins and quickly followed.

The figures of several people and horses quickly disappeared into the thick night.

-

When the flames of war reached the tents of soldiers who were sleeping and unaware of it, the man who was a bystander unconsciously shouted, "Run!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted or reminded, it was useless because no one could hear him!

The scene suddenly changed, and it was no longer a battlefield filled with flames of war, but a quiet night. As he moved forward, he saw... the gravesites of his father, grandfather and others.

The rules in ancient times are different from those in modern times. Most of the noble families are buried in the same place. Even if there is distance, they will not be too far apart.

The situation of the Huo family is different from that of others. Most of the Huo family are military generals. Naturally, these generals are galloping on the battlefield, and more of them die on the battlefield.

Sometimes even the bodies are not found.

Huo Wenxian's eldest brother and father were unable to find the bodies one after another. The old subordinates who fought with them explained that it was because the battlefield was too messy and during the later cleaning, most of the bodies were burned beyond recognition.

They couldn't identify who was who, and the weather was so hot that they couldn't transport so many corpses back and could only bury them on the spot.

For this reason, Huo Wenxian could only build a clothes tomb for his eldest brother and his father. The tombs were very close to each other, and they were all in the same place. It was convenient when they went to worship during the holidays.

At this moment, he saw some cracks in his grandfather's tombstone, and was about to go up to check...

Suddenly his body sank. When he stood up again, he raised his eyes and saw a very small light in the darkness.

Looking down, he could vaguely see a tomb passage. The tomb passage was short and narrow, just enough for one person to pass through.

Is he...into the tomb?
