Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 103

Chapter 103

The 23 unclaimed female corpses were finally buried in Chengfengtai outside Liangzhou city, as Xiao Jue said. Standing on the wind platform and looking down, the valley is covered by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

The coffins are all top-quality coffins, using silver from the Sun’s treasury. The Sun family has accumulated countless wealth over the years, and actually repaired a warehouse in the mansion for storing gold and silver treasures.

Because these twenty-three people did not know the origin of their names, even the last stele erected had no words to engrave. There were twenty-three wordless steles, and 23 young girls slept here. If they know after death, they can sit here and watch the clouds and clouds. If they die, just as Xiao Jue said, they can ride the wind freely and roar over the lakes and mountains.

He Yan and Song Taotao stood not far away, Chiwu standing aside, looking at the people who were squatting on the ground and burning paper money. When he was buried, Xiao Jue did not come. Many of these people who burned paper money came to look for the missing family members, but they couldn’t find their relatives in the end. After all, many of the girls killed by Sun Ling had not even left their corpses, and were eaten by wolf dogs in the wilds of the mass graves.

An old gray-haired woman was burning paper money in an iron basin. She was too old to walk. Her grandson was walking up the mountain road with her back on her back. Her little granddaughter was abducted by Sun Ling four years ago and never appeared again. Now, no trace of her little granddaughter has been found in the body in Sun Ling’s courtyard.

The old woman tremblingly said: “I will burn paper money for these girls. In the future, if someone with good intentions sees a big girl, they will burn paper money for the big girl… Girl, you go well…”

Song Taotao took the veil to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, “It’s too hard to be a woman. If there is an afterlife, I don’t want to be a woman.”

“It has nothing to do with being a woman or not,” He Yan looked at the flying paper money, “As a woman, it is not for suffering, and the same is true for men. If you are dissatisfied with fate, you can take a different path. It’s just… She looked at these wordless monuments, “For them, they have no choice at all. It’s too cruel.”

Song Taotao looked at her: “You are very different from ordinary men.”

“what?”

“If you are an ordinary man, you will probably say, what is wrong with your women, you only need to wear gorgeous clothes and sit in the house, some people add clothes when it’s cold, and others wait for them to come and go. You don’t have to fight outside. “She learned the rough and rough voice of men, but she said with disdain: “Is it good to be a pet? Keep the bird in the cage and praise the beauty of the cage. I think they have a problem with their brains. .”

He Yan laughed: “You are also very different from ordinary women.”

“I was different, by the way,” Song Taotao looked at her, “I don’t know your name yet. You are not Cheng Lisu, you are the subordinate of Xiao Er Gongzi?”

“My name is He Yan,” He Yan said, “He of Chai He, Yan of He Qing and Haiyan.”

“It turns out to be Brother He.” Song Taotao said, “You can call me Taotao.”

“This…” He Yan scratched his head, a little too intimate. Although they are all women, others don’t know. In the eyes of others, they are afraid that they will give birth to reveries.

“That’s it.” Song Taotao said, “I have already agreed with the second son of Xiao, I will go to Liangzhouwei with you for the time being, and when the second son of Xiao’s people arrive, I will send someone to take me back to Shuojing. So pick it up. I may stay with you for the next day.” Song Taotao smiled brows and eyes, “I haven’t been to the Weisuo.” She became happy again, and continued to chat.

“Miss Song,” Chi Wu looked at the distance, “It’s not early, so your subordinates will send you down the mountain first.”

“Let’s go.” He Yan also said.

A few people walked down the mountain with their backs to them. At the steps of the wind platform, there were clumps of white chrysanthemums growing in the grass. The breeze blew and the chrysanthemums nodded slightly, as if a curvy girl was thanking them.

Not long after, I will never see it again.

…

After going down the mountain and returning to the inn where they lived, Song Taotao plunged into the house to take a shower. I have been busy today, and I just burned the paper money and left a lot of paper dust on my body, so I should wash it off.

Sun’s mansion was sealed, so naturally he couldn’t go back to live. So he stayed in the inn where he came, and the innkeeper knew Xiao Jue’s true identity, and now he and Sun Xiangfu were imprisoned, how dare you neglect. The shopkeeper of an inn was as diligent as some other family’s servant, circling around He Yan.

He Yan said, “Nothing, nothing, I’ll do it myself.” She took a veil and went straight into the house.

Feinu was packing things in the house. He was shocked when she saw her. He Yan asked, “Brother Feinu, what are you doing?”

Fei Numu said with a face: “I live with Chiwu.”

When they were in Sun’s Mansion before, the three of them lived together, Xiao Jue was in the back room, Feinu and He Yan were outside, and they didn’t feel anything wrong. He Yan casually said: “It’s so troublesome to move around.”

Feinu stood still and looked at her incredible: “You are a woman, how can you be in the same room with me?”

He Yan: “…you don’t have to put on an expression that is unbearable.”

Feinu didn’t say a word, and quickly packed up her baggage, as if she was some kind of scourge, she avoided it and left immediately.

He Yan was the only one left in the room.

She was taken aback for a moment, shook her head and smiled. In the eyes of Xiao Jue’s master and servant, her behavior was unexpected, but she had been in the barracks for a long time, but she was living with a man. What’s the problem? She doesn’t feel ashamed as a girl, and she doesn’t know what Feinu is awkward.

He Yan walked up to the collapse and found clear water and clean white cloth strips on the table, and there was hot water for bathing in the room, which was put by Feinu. She still has injuries on her body. This person is like his master. Sometimes he feels unkind, and sometimes he is quite considerate.

There was no one in the room, so she sat and undressed and took a rough bath. Before she had time to look at the scars yesterday, she replaced the old cloth strips and found that the wounds were not shallow.

Naturally it hurts, but it can be tolerated. He Yan turned sideways and looked at the girl in the mirror. She had a knife wound on her white skin, which was definitely not good-looking.

Miss He cherishes her beauty and can’t wait to pamper her with jelly lotion. Now she has just come here, she is completely unrecognizable. If the real Miss He returns and sees such a scene, she will faint with anger.

She has been very careful to protect herself, but once she decides to go out on her own and lose the asylum of her family, she will inevitably be injured. Humans have grown up from injury after injury, and scars will eventually become armor.

The body of a female general can never be as flawless as an ordinary girl. The old wounds fall on her head, like a drawing paper being drawn by a strange knife. It is not beautiful, it can even be called horror.

A girl who doesn’t love beauty, even if He Yan had been a man for more than ten years in his previous life, he would feel ashamed when he faced Xu Zhiheng when he changed into a daughter’s outfit and looked at the scar on his back. She never wears a thin gauze. Once Xu Zhiheng gave her a pomegranate gauze dress in water color, with pomegranate flowers embroidered on her shoulders and necks, which were as thin as cicada wings. She liked it very much, but she never wore it. Because she was pierced into the shoulder by an enemy’s arrow on the battlefield, and when she drew the arrow out, she left scars that could never be removed.

She also remembered the look in Xu Zhiheng’s eyes when he looked at those scars. Although he didn’t say anything, he deliberately avoided his eyes. But it’s more hurtful than just talking about disgust.

He Yan stared at the bronze mirror in a daze. Why is this scar on a man a medal and a shame on a woman? How unfair this is, but it is the world’s righteous belief that all women serve people with color, and they must maintain their color all the time.

Nonsense.

He Yan lowered her head, rubbed the ointment on the wound thinly, and then wrapped it with a cloth strip. She did these things very well. When it hurts, she doesn’t even wrinkle her brows, and she will soon heal. After finishing all this, she rested in the room for a while, then got up and pushed the door out, to the front of Xiao Jue’s room.

The light is on in the room, and Xiao Jue should be inside. He Yan knocked on the door: “The Governor?”

“Come in.”

Pushing the door in, Young Master Xiao was putting away the Wanxiangqin on the table. He Yan almost forgot about it, not to mention this. He came to Liangzhou City this time and was still repairing the piano. Speaking of repairing the piano, He Yan remembered that he was drunk and crushed his piano.

“Captain,” He Yan said bitterly, “Have you eaten?”

Xiao Jue stopped the action in his hand: “Speak straight.”

“Are we going back to the guard station tomorrow?” He Yan asked, “What do you plan to do with me?”

Now that Xiao Jue already knows she is a daughter, what if Xiao Jue really wants to send her back to Shuojing? Finally, now there is a little bit of He Rufei’s eyebrows, and she will not go back even if she is killed.

“What do you want me to do with you?” Second Young Master Xiao sat down at the table, looking at her in his spare time.

He Yan also hurriedly moved a stool and sat next to him, and seriously analyzed with him, “You have seen my ability now. This time I brought me to Liangzhou. I reminded you of an assassin to help you disperse Yuan Baozhen. I was also the one who paid attention. In the end, Ding Yi was killed. I will calculate it carefully. I will help you. It is better than Feinu.”

The Feinu next door sneezed.

“A person like me, be a subordinate, be one of the best, be a confidant, and considerate.” He Yan boasted without burden, “Liangzhou Wei has me, and I am like a tiger. The Governor, I think you can put me in the Nine Banners. Camp, keeping it will not regret it.”

Xiao Jue smiled and asked slowly: “Nine Banner Camp?”

“I know that the governor is a refreshing person, and I must doubt my purpose of entering the Jiuqi Camp. I just said it bluntly, because it is too slow to make achievements and achievements in ordinary times. You can be an official. Our He family pointed to my Guangzong Yaozu. I thought Jiuqiying was a good place to go.”

Her remarks were frank, Xiao Jue took a sip of the tea on the table, and said unhurriedly: “No need in the future, I think you have a disability right now.”

He Yan: “…what?” Did Xiao Jue see that she was Granny Xu and was blind in her previous life?

She was nervous, and saw this person pointing to her brain.

He Yan: “…” He has something wrong with his brain! Scold someone nicely.

It was just that people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and He Yan made a smile: “Don’t the Governor think so?”

Xiao Jue stared at her and sneered: “Liar, our Jiuqi Camp does not accept incompetent people.”

“The incompetent?” Xiao Jue can question her character, but he can’t question her ability. He Yan slapped the table: “Who are you talking about?”

“Ding Yi’s kind of stuff, you were hurt when you fought with him,” Xiao Jue twitched, his beautiful eyes were full of ridicule: “What are they who are not incompetent?”

“That’s… that’s…” That’s because Miss He Da is weak, and having learned the lessons from her previous life, of course she has to be cautious!

“If Big Brother Feinu is here, he will be injured too!”

“You can put your deceitful mind on practicing, and you will make a lot of progress.”

The more this person gets along with her now, the more he reveals the bad side of his youth. He Yan took a deep breath and suddenly smiled.

“Okay, it doesn’t matter if the Governor insists on saying that. It doesn’t matter if you have a prejudice against me. It’s just that I suddenly miss the red mole on the Governor’s waist.”

Xiao Jue’s calm expression suddenly cracked.

“This rumor has been passed on and it has become true. I am the daughter of the captain of the city gate, my family is not very popular, and I have no reputation. It is mine to be able to pass the name of the governor to the same place. Blessing.” He Yan stood up and said slowly: “When people talk about me in the future, I have also been brilliant. I am a woman whom the governor loves so much. I think it’s not a loss. It’s just that it’s hard for the governor to be like me. People are tied together, but the governor doesn’t care what others say, it shouldn’t matter.”

Xiao Jue stared at her with eyes like a knife, and said in a deep voice, “What kind of woman you love.”

He Yan smiled and replied: “I am so good. People in Liangzhouwei know me. I have always admired me as a rare man in the world. I suddenly found out that I was a woman, so I definitely refused to believe it. And I wondered why the woman entered the military camp. I can only say that it was naturally because the governor loved me so much that he was reluctant to be separated from me, so he hid me in the barracks and brought me to Liangzhou to garrison. After listening to others, I will only envy my good luck, of course, also Lamenting the love of the governor is as deep as the sea.”

Xiao Jue laughed instead of anger when he heard the words: “I don’t know how to be ashamed!”

He Yan held the table in his hands and quickly said, “I am not an unreasonable person, nor did I let the governor go through the back door and let me enter the Nine Banners Camp. I just hope that the governor will give me a chance to prove myself. Let’s go back to the sanctuary together. When this hasn’t happened, I also ask the Governor to abandon his prejudice against me. When I was an ordinary soldier, yes,” she seemed to think of something, “I have injuries now. Living together is so inconvenient, I have to trouble the governor to find a room for me alone, the kind that I can take a bath in.”

Xiao Jue said coldly: “Don’t think about it.”

“Then I have to be the woman that the governor loves deeply.” He Yan turned around nonchalantly, “Even if you shove me into the carriage and send me back to Shuojing, everyone I can tell immediately. Well, I am. This inn is very good, as long as I scream…”

Xiao Jue helped his forehead: “He Yan!”

He Yan smiled and hid the knife: “Who calls me a liar.”

Xiao Jue: “I promise you.”

He Yan’s face became faster than the three-year-old child of the shopkeeper, and he said with regret: “I am a little bit disappointed if I can’t be the woman whom Chengdu Governor loves deeply.”

Xiao Jue’s face was green: “Get out!”

He Yan hummed happily and went out.

…

Early the next morning, when Fei Nu and Chi Wu woke up and went out, they found that He Yan was even earlier than the two of them.

About to go back to Liangzhouwei, she also deliberately cleaned up and picked out a piece of clothes that Cheng Lisu didn’t usually wear, and she was refreshed. She was born with good looks, if Feinu knew that she was a woman, she would have to praise such a handsome young man in her heart.

Chiwu didn’t know He Yan’s identity. He held his chest and looked from a distance, and asked Feinu in a low voice, “You said this person is unbeatable in Liangzhou? Look at this body, it doesn’t look like it.”

Feinu sighed, but this was not the only thing in his heart.

As he was talking, Song Taotao came up from downstairs with a handful of red dates. When he saw He Yan, he naturally stretched out his hand and smiled: “Brother He, this is the date from the shopkeeper. It is very sweet. Don’t try it?”

Liangzhou is rich in red dates, all of them are big and sweet, and they look very lovely in red. He Yan took it and said, “Thank you.”

They are a pair of teenagers and girls standing here to enjoy the eyes, which is a reverie. Chi Wu stabbed Feinu’s arm, and squeezed into a narrow voice: “I see why something is wrong, did Miss Song Er have a fancy to He Yan? What about Young Master Cheng?”

Feinu looked at him with a hard word: “…What are you so crazy about!”

“How can this be called blind worry, Young Master Cheng is the young master’s uncle, of course we have to help Young Master Cheng. Or I will teach that boy privately, let him stay away from Miss Song Er? We Young Master Cheng’s mind Chunshan, where is He Yan’s opponent, you see, the way he smiles at Miss Song Er, I can’t stand it anymore.”

“Don’t say a few words, the young master hates people who tell right and wrong,” Feinu said: “You and I can do your part.”

What else Chiwu wanted to say, the door over there opened, and Xiao Jue walked out of it.

“The governor.” He Yan greeted him warmly.

Xiao Jue didn’t seem to see her. He passed by her with a stingy look in his eyes, and said to Feinu: “Is the carriage ready?”

“All are waiting downstairs.” Feinu replied.

“Let’s go.” He went downstairs.

Chiwu and Feinu looked at each other, and Chiwu asked in a low voice, “Does the surname He make our young master angry?”

“Let’s do something.” Feinu didn’t answer, and went downstairs.

“Second Young Master Xiao is still as cold as ever.” Song Taotao was on He Yan’s side, which made He Yan quite moved. The little girl sympathetically said to her: “You must be sad to do things under his hand. When I return to Shuojing, I will tell my father to see if I can find a job for you in the capital. You have such a skillful character. , It’s not difficult.”

“Huh?” He Yan didn’t expect Song Taotao to have this plan, so he waved his hand and said: “This is not necessary, thank you Miss Song for kindness, but I am pretty good in Liangzhou, and Governor Xiao is not unreasonable. Man, he’s pretty good, and it’s my honor to follow him.”

Song Taotao only thought she was speaking for Xiao Jue, and disagreed, “Where is he worthy of you to follow? People in Shuojing say he is cruel and ruthless…”

Although Xiao Jue had a bad temper, He Yan didn’t scold him ignorantly. He only smiled and said, “He is not good, but didn’t he think of a way to get your Sun family father and son into trouble? It’s not good, so why bother with the unclaimed female corpses in Sun Xiangfu’s mansion, bury them, and invite monks to help them out.”

“But…” Song Taotao still argued.

The teenager smiled and touched her head, and said warmly: “Miss Song, you are still young, and you don’t know many things can’t be seen on the surface. Many people have to get along with him to know character. Treating you kindly and considerately is not necessarily A good person, a wicked person you feel cruel and ruthless, may also have an unknown side.”

Song Taotao was stunned. Before she could understand, He Yan had already walked downstairs. There seemed to be the remaining warmth of the young man’s palm on her head. She blushed and hurried to catch up with her, muttering in a low voice: “You are not much older than me at any age.”

After all, there is no further dispute.

He Yan lowered his head and smiled, and the words Xiao Jue said to the poor girls yesterday rang again.

“Outside Liangzhou city, there is a peak platform called Chengfeng. These women couldn’t help themselves before they were alive, caged with fish in bird ponds. Buried here, may they be free to ride the wind in the next life and scream at the lakes and mountains.”

He could understand the despair of those women, so he could say such a thing.

Therefore, she generously forgives Xiao Jue for being rude to her, and doesn’t take his bad behavior to heart.

After all, there are really not many gentle people in this world.

When she went downstairs, she saw Xiao Jue standing in front of the carriage, then walked over and asked, “Captain, are you sharing the ride with me?”

After all, Song Taotao was a little girl. They were riding horses when they came. When they came back, they couldn’t let Song Taotao ride with them, so Feinu arranged two carriages.

Xiao Jue looked sideways at her.

He Yan explained: “I can’t ride a carriage with Ms. Song. We are lonely men and widows. We were seen by others. Do you want Ms. Song’s reputation?”

Xiao Jue: “So?”

“So I should have a carriage with the governor.” He Yan said with a smile, and was about to get into the carriage, and Xiao Jue carried his clothes and led it down.

If it hadn’t been for He Yan grabbed a handful of his sleeve, he almost couldn’t stand firm.

“Are you not treating yourself as a woman or me as a man?” He raised his eyebrows: “Liar, I’m afraid you are too deep in the drama, so I remind you. The mission is over, you don’t have to think of yourself as Cheng Lisu.” After that, he brushed off the sleeve that He Yan had just grabbed.

Chi Wu passed by and happened to hear Xiao Jue’s last sentence. He immediately came over to grab He Yan’s clothes and pulled her aside: “That’s right! Think of yourself as Young Master Cheng? Why are you so lacking eyesight, come here,” Ride a horse with us!”

He Yan was just a joke, and didn’t really want to ride with Xiao Jue. Then he turned on his horse happily.

Feinu told the driver: “There is a girl in the car, don’t walk too fast.”

He Yan was startled and laughed unconsciously. It’s not that she is passionate, but because she was injured in a fight with Ding Yi, she can’t ride the horse too vigorously.

I don’t know if this is on purpose again? She was also a girl.

Equatorial: “What are you waiting for, let’s go!”
