Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 120

Chapter 120

When He Yan was talking with Chu Zilan, he didn’t notice that Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe were standing behind a tree not far away.

Lin Shuanghe looked at it, wondering: “It looks like Sister He actually knows Chu Zilan? Then when I asked her yesterday, why did she say that she didn’t know each other?”

“Have you asked her?”

“Yes, I also asked her, if you and Chu Zilan clashed, which side would she be on?” Lin Shuanghe shook the fan and smiled: “Do you want to know how she answered?”

Xiao Jue: “I don’t want to.”

“Why are you doing this?” Lin Shuanghe said: “Let me tell you, Sister He said without thinking, she doesn’t know Chu Zilan, of course she is on your side. But,” he looked at the distance while talking The two of them said, “She is acquaintance at all, why should she say that she doesn’t know each other?”

Xiao Jue sneered: “Why do you believe what a liar said?”

“Liar?” Lin Shuanghe looked at Xiao Jue, “What did she lie to you? Could it be that,” he thought of something, exclaimed in a low tone, “She and Chu Zilan belong to the same group? It is also Xu Jingfu’s person?”

Xiao Jue didn’t bother to talk to him.

As he was talking, the glamorous maidservant named Ying Xiang turned his head and happened to see them, and immediately called out from a distance: “Duke Xiao, Young Master Lin.”

Even though he wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide, Lin Shuanghe stood up and nodded reservedly: “Fourth Master Chu, Brother He.”

He Yan asked, “Are you also out to bask in the sun?”

“Come out and walk at will.” Lin Shuanghe took a fan and turned his eyes on He Yan and Chu Zhao, tentatively asking: “Brother He and the Fourth Young Master Chu met in the past?”

He Yan said: “It’s just a one-sided fate. When I met Liangzhou Wei, I found out that he was the fourth son of Chu. I was also surprised.”

“How about a one-sided fate? Let’s listen to it?” Lin Shuanghe was reluctant.

Chu Zhao stood on the spot with a smile, and didn’t mean to take the initiative to explain. Xiao Jue’s eyes were also calm, but He Yan felt a little cold. Song Taotao was very curious and asked, “That’s right, how did you know each other?”

“That,” He Yan had to bite the bullet and explained, “When I was in Shuojing, I went to Letongzhuang to gamble at night, won a lot of money, was chased by others, and accidentally met the fourth son of Chu. Chu Si. The prince picked up my lost silver and gave it back to me. I didn’t know his identity at the time, so I hurriedly thanked him and left.”

“Letongzhuang?” Song Taotao was shocked, “Brother He, are you gambled?”

“Didn’t you say that your father is very strict with you, and the door can’t pass through the second door?” Lin Shuanghe couldn’t help asking.

He Yan raised his head and met Xiao Jue’s smile, not feeling that his scalp was numb, and he took a step back and said, “I was forced by life at that time… I went there once! Never again!”

Both Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue knew that she was a woman. A woman went gambling money alone at night. It was a bit shocking to say it. And gambling is always not a good thing, so I have to say it in front of this group of big people.

“Unexpectedly, Brother He stayed at Liangzhouwei,” Chu Zhao smiled and said: “It is also considered that you and I are destined. When Brother Ye He dealt with those thugs, I still remember.”

“Are you good?” Lin Shuanghe asked He Yan.

He Yan smiled perfunctorily: “It’s just a fluke.”

“Tonight’s celebration banquet, I need to have two more glasses with Brother He.” Chu Zhao said: “This fate is not in vain.”

He Yan: “Thanks…Thank you, the fourth son of Chu.”

She thought to herself, Chu Zhao is too approachable. As the son of Uncle Shi Jinfu, he is now Xu Jingfu’s proud disciple. No matter what, it is rare to be so patient and gentle with ordinary recruits like her. Not to mention whether he is good or bad, just looking at how to be a man, he really didn’t say.

“Ying Xiang,” Chu Zhao glanced at Song Taotao and said with a smile: “Golden cake rolls can be given to this little girl. I can’t use these.”

Song Taotao was flattered: “Give it to me?”

“Yes,” he said warmly: “If you like it very much, you can let the cook make it for you every day.”

“But the son,” Ying Xiang said hesitatingly: “That’s a cook specially brought to you.”

“I’m not particular about eating,” Chu Zhao said, “You don’t have to do this every day.”

“That…” Song Taotao hesitated for a while, then looked at him: “Thank you, the fourth son of Chu.”

“You’re welcome.”

He Yan looked around and felt that Lin Shuanghe’s dream of the big Wei woman ranked first. No wonder Chu Zilan came in behind. Growing up like this, when a woman is still so gentle and considerate, I think it is a category that all young and old will like.

Ying Xiang handed the plate containing the golden cake rolls to Song Taotao, and Chu Zhao looked at Xiao Jue: “Where is Dudu Xiao going?”

“Martial arts field.” Xiao Jue raised the corner of his mouth, “Fourth Young Master Chu wants to go together?”

“I don’t have to go.” Chu Zhao smiled and said, “Just go back to the house and read a book for a while.”

Lin Shuanghe arched his hands at Chu Zhao: “Then I’ll see you tonight.” He looked at He Yan again: “What is Brother He doing?”

“Me?” He Yan didn’t dare to stay with Chu Zhao for a long time. This person is still Xu Jingfu’s student. Who knows if he is an enemy or a friend, he said: “The weather is good today. I plan to take advantage of the sun to walk around in the yard more. , Restore it.”

“That’s fine too.” Lin Shuanghe instructed, “just don’t move too much.”

He Yan nodded.

Several people were separated.

Because Chu Zhao also lived nearby, He Yan didn’t dare to go out easily, even though she really wanted to ask Chu Zhao about Shuojing. But looking at the atmosphere between Xiao Jue and Chu Zhao, at least now is not a good time for questioning.

She went to the yard, tried to throw the stick away and walked for a while, only to stop when she felt tired. Then I went back to my room to sleep and read the script, and in a blink of an eye, it was evening.

Cheng Lisu knocked on the door a long time ago: “Big Brother!”

He Yan went to open the door for him.

Cheng Lisu changed into a new tuft of amber robe, with a group of black-tailed koi still embroidered on the corners of the robe, with a flying look, and grabbed He Yan’s hand: “I’m afraid you are sleeping, so I didn’t dare to come early. Look at me. Does the new robe look good?”

He Yan: “May I ask you a question?”

“what?”

“Why do you have to embroider koi on every piece of clothing?”

When she was in Liangzhou City, every robe that Cheng Lisu gave her was embroidered with carp at the corners. He Yan wanted to ask him a long time ago, does it have any special meaning?

“You don’t know this,” Cheng Lisu turned his back. “Speaking of which, my father fell in love with my mother at first sight, but my mother’s family has already liked other people for her. I think my father is better than my mother. Two years younger, my father bought the cook in the mansion and sent the carp to the small kitchen where my mother was cooking. When the cook slaughtered the carp, he saw the letter in it. My mother was moved by the letter, and later So I moved my grandmother and married my dad.”

Cheng Lisu can’t remember anything in his poems and prose on weekdays, but now he keeps it in his heart, and talks eloquently: “A guest comes from afar, leaving me with a double carp; when you cook a carp, there is a ruler book in it. Long. Kneeling and reading the plain book, what is in the book? The words are long love, and the words are extra meal.” He proudly said: “My name comes from here.”

He Yan was stunned: “It’s so interesting?”

“Yes.” Cheng Lisu turned back and showed He Yan the carp embroidery on his body. “Later, my clothes had hairpins, mostly in the shape of a carp. After all, the carp is my father and mother’s matchmaker. Wearing it is just what I wear. My parents’ love for me!”

At this moment, He Yan really envied Cheng Lisu. She said, “Your parents are so nice.”

“That’s natural.” Cheng Lisu said, and looked at He Yan, “Brother, don’t you wear anything else for the celebration dinner tonight?”

He Yan lowered his head and looked at herself: “What’s wrong with me wearing this way? Don’t you all wear it like this?”

She is still wearing the uniform of the Liangzhou Guard recruits, and today she specially wore a red festive dress.

“But you are the hero who defeated Rita Muzi. It’s not surprising to wear this way.”

“I didn’t have any other clothes,” He Yan said, “That’s great, let’s go, the instructor may not be able to wait.”

Cheng Lisu shrugged, without reluctance, he closed the door for her, and the two of them walked towards the wilderness under Baiyue Mountain.

Today is a celebration banquet. The recruits to celebrate Liangzhouwei are here to annihilate the Ridamuzi rebels. There is no snow tonight, but it is colder than before. There was a blazing bonfire in the wilderness, and the recruits were sitting on the ground, drinking and eating meat.

Although it was drinking and eating meat, it seemed a lot depressed compared to the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago. After all, my colleagues just died, and the aftermath of the war hasn’t passed yet. I celebrated my merits…I was barely a little bit after all.

The rewards have been distributed to the various coaches, Xiao Jue is very generous, all the spoils have been distributed to the soldiers, and the rewards sent by your majesty are not reserved for himself. Cheng Lisu went to the wilderness and went to find Xiao Jue, while He Yan went to the Hongshan side. She didn’t go to the martial arts field these days and met them much less often.

When Mai Mai saw him, he shouted, “Brother Ahe, you are here!”

He Yan sat down beside him.

“How is it?” Hong Shan handed her a piece of roasted rabbit meat. “Is your body better? I think you don’t have a stick now? You can go now?”

He Yan took the rabbit meat. The rabbit meat was roasted and squeaked and oily. The beasts hibernated in winter. Rabbits are hard to catch. Just smelling the gluttonous insects, she took a bite and said, “Not bad. , In two months, I will be able to fight alongside you again.”

“Keep it down on you,” Wang Ba said in disgust, “Are you not the only one to show the limelight every time? I heard that the reward from above will give you a dozen or two for the silver.” He was very jealous, “You get rich.” NS!”

“Brother He almost died. Ten taels of silver should be worth more for him.” Jiang Jiao said, “It’s just that I thought Brother He was going to rise by one liter this time, but I didn’t expect it to be.”

Speaking of this, He Yan stopped fighting. It stands to reason that she had done meritorious service and helped Liangzhouwei. No matter what, she shouldn’t be a soldier. Even if you don’t go up, you should go to Jiuqi Camp. Even if you don’t go to Jiuqi Camp, you should go to Qianfeng Camp. But now, the rewards are more than ordinary recruits, but promotion? None of the shadows saw one.

Is it so difficult to be promoted under Xiao Jue’s army?

“Don’t say it, besides, Brother He is going to be sulking again.” Huang Xiong saw the unhappiness in her heart, and only said: “You are now convinced by Liangzhouwei. Even if it is not now, you will be promoted sooner or later. Don’t worry.”

He Yan said without conscience: “I’m not in a hurry.”

It was just tossing and turning on the collapse at night, wishing to rush into the next room and grab Xiao Jue and ask why.

Although the celebration banquet is a celebration banquet, Xiao Jue is not there and the rewards have been distributed to everyone in advance, so tonight is just a gathering of recruits. Liangzhouwei’s people are next to Baiyue Mountain, and Nanfu soldiers’ people are leaning on Wulu River, but the water in the well does not offend the river.

Stone poured a bowl of wine for He Yan, and said, “Drink.”

He Yan glared at the wine in the bowl, “I have injuries now, so I can’t drink so much.”

“That’s right, I almost forgot,” Hong Shan took the wine bowl away, “then you don’t drink, just drink water.”

He Yan said, “Okay.”

After sitting for a while, she heard someone calling her from behind: “Brother He.”

He Yan looked back, and was taken aback for a moment. It was actually Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao’s side was followed by Ying Xiang, the beautiful maid. There is rarely such a beautiful woman in Liangzhou Weili. For a while, Hongshan and the others were all stared at it. Wang Ba whispered, “This kid, how can you be so beautiful every time.”

He thought he was talking very quietly, but in fact, everyone present heard it. Ying Xiangren couldn’t help but laughed, Chu Zhao also said with a smile: “I said okay with Brother He before, I must have a drink with you today.”

Ying Xiang said: “Before our son came here, he brought Chang’an Chun specially. Please Mr. He to drink with him.”

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Ba swallowed loudly.

He Yan: “…” She was still a little embarrassed. If she knew that she and Chu Zhao had a drink, would Xiao Jue think she and Chu Zhao were in the same group?

That was really snow in June.

Seeing her embarrassment, Chu Zhao smiled and said, “It’s just a cup. If it’s inconvenient for Brother He, it’s fine.”

He Yan has never eaten soft or hard. Seeing such a gentle and gentle encounter with such a fairy, and knowing how to advance and retreat, he felt a little apologetic in his heart. She is not a big man, and she has to be invited by others, that is, a glass of wine, which is regarded as the favor of paying back that silver coin.

He Yan said: “It’s just a glass of wine, it’s nothing inconvenient.”

“Then ask Young Master He to follow the maid.” Ying Xiang turned around with a smile.

He Yan originally thought that Chu Zhao’s drinking was in the wilderness where the recruits were. Who knew that he brought her to the house where Chu Zhao lived. I don’t know if Xiao Jue is avenging his personal revenge. The house that Chu Zhao lives in is really not gorgeous, it’s not even as good as the one that Cheng Li lived in, and it’s better than the general shop houses of the recruits. But the yard is very big. On the stone bench in the yard, there is a jug of wine and some dried fruit snacks.

“I don’t know what He likes to eat, so I prepared some small dishes at will.” Ying Xiang said ashamed: “If it doesn’t match the taste, please bear with him.”

“You don’t have to be polite, it’s already very good.” He Yan was flattered. It was the first time that she was treated as someone with status in Liangzhouwei, who was a recruit. However, He Yan also secretly wondered, why should Chu Zhao be so kind to her? A recruit can’t be so polite.

She was thinking, Ying Xiang had already picked up the jug made of white jade on the table, poured two jade cups into them separately, and smiled: “I heard from Young Master Lin that he had injuries on his body and it was inconvenient to drink when he wanted to come here. Wen Bulie, the mouth is sweet, Young Master He drinks a little, it shouldn’t be a hindrance.”

He Yan smiled and said, “Ms. Yingxiang is still thoughtful.”

Ying Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, put the flask in place, and stepped back behind Chu Zhao.

“The last time I saw Brother He in Shuojing, I was too rushed to be strong enough.” Chu Zhao smiled and said, “Since I met in Liangzhou, it can be seen that you and I have a lot of fate. We should toast a cup.” He picked up the wine cup and slammed He Yan Xuxu in the air.

He Yan understood, and then raised the wine cup, thinking that last time on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, he was drunk and had a fight with Xiao Jue and crushed his piano. He must not repeat the same mistake tonight. But this wine is not a strong wine, and it won’t be as good as last time after drinking it, and if I only drink a little, there should be nothing wrong with it.

She raised her head and poured all the wine in her throat into her throat.

He Yan was stunned.

Chu Zhao was also stunned.

After a while, Chu Zhao smiled and said, “Brother He is really bold.”

He Yan: “…”

It has become a habit to drink a sip, and I want to take a sip, but the action on my hand is a subconscious reaction. When I get back to my senses, my intestines are remorseful, and I want to scold myself: Why can’t I control this hand?

But… He Yan praised: “Good fragrant wine!”

Ying Xiangpu snorted and laughed: “Chang’an Spring is not something you can drink every day. In Chu Mansion, the only pot left this year is here.”

“Is it so precious?” He Yan was shocked and pushed the Jiu Zhan back. I dare not drink anymore.

“Although wine is precious, it is not as good as you, Brother He.” Chu Zhao smiled, stretched his hand over the jug, and filled He Yan’s empty wine cup: “Changan Spring is gone, you can buy 18 cents. If there are no like-minded friends, it will not be so easy to find.”

He Yan: “…”

She said: “Brother Chu, do you know that you are the number one person in the dream of a big Wei woman.”

Chu Zhao was taken aback.

“I now think that maybe we can add a man.” He is also so gentle and generous to men, which man stays with him is also very dangerous.

There was silence in the yard.

After a while, Chu Zhao laughed openly. He shook his head and said, “Brother He, you are really funny.”

“I’m telling the truth.” He Yan was very sincere.

“Brother He is overrated.” He waved his hand, “I don’t dare to be the number one.”

Chang’an Chun smelled clear, not as strong as the eighteen immortals, but not weak in alcohol. He Yan felt a little wandering. Seeing the man in front of him with a soft smile on his face, he picked up the wine and said to him: “Brother Chu I can afford it, I toast you!”

It was another drink.

…

On the other end, Lin Shuanghe was looking for He Yan people everywhere.

“Have you seen He Yan?” He asked.

The barbecue on this end was all eaten. Wheat was going to the nearby fire and stole two people. Hearing the words, he turned around and said, “Are you looking for Brother Ahe? Brother Ahe was taken away by the fourth son of Chu from the capital just now.”

“Chu Zhao?” Lin Shuanghe asked strangely, “What did he do with Brother He?”

“Drink at the bar,” Mai scratched his head, “Said that Brother Ahe would like to taste Changan Spring.”

When Lin Shuanghe got the news, he rushed back non-stop, returned to Xiao Jue’s house, opened the door without closing it.

Xiao Jue was sitting at the table wiping his sword.

Yinqiu is not an ordinary sword, it must be cleaned and wiped every day to ensure the sword body is crystal clear. Lin Shuanghe said, “Do you know where He Yan has gone?”

Xiao Jue didn’t bother to care about him.

“I was taken to drink by Chu Zhao!”

Xiao Jue raised his eyes: “So?”

“Aren’t you in a hurry, brother?” Lin Shuanghe patted his fan on his table, “That’s Chu Zhao!”

“Get out of the way,” Xiao Jue said irritably, “Block the light.”

Lin Shuanghe turned sideways, “Don’t wipe it. Yu Gong, Chu Zhao is from Xu Jingfu. If he intends to recruit He Yan to their camp, what will you do? I heard that He Yan’s strength is one of the best in Liangzhou Wei. Yes. Such talents fall into Xu Jingfu’s hands and it is very troublesome!”

Seeing that Xiao Jue’s expression had not changed, he walked to the other side again: “Yu Si, how can you let your girl go to drink with other men!”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Jue’s movements stopped. He raised his head and glanced at Lin Shuanghe lightly: “Who told you that she is mine?”

“Come on,” Lin Shuanghe said without believing: “It’s not yours, you can let her live next to you, with a door in between, and let the girl use a lock to pick it up. I haven’t found out before, how can you still be like this? Playing? Quite interesting?”

Xiao Jue: “…If you are okay, get out and don’t bother me.”

“Xiao Huaijin, you are so fierce, you are not Chu Zilan’s opponent.”

As he was talking, he heard a rustling sound from the middle door of the room, as if a rat was shuttled between the clutter. The two looked up, and the “one”-shaped keyhole on the door protruded. A silver wire, the silver wire gave it a crooked twist, and swiped the lock cylinder in accurately.

With a “click”, the lock fell to the ground and the door opened.

Lin Shuanghe stretched his palm: “Good skill!” He glanced at Xiao Jue again: “You also said that she is not yours!”

Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment and stood up.

He Yan walked over from the door.

She walked slowly and steadily. When she saw Lin Shuanghe, she even greeted Lin Shuanghe first: “Brother Lin.”

Lin Shuanghe: “…Why didn’t you call me Doctor Lin?”

He Yan didn’t seem to see him, and walked to Xiao Jue by himself.

Xiao Jue lowered his gaze and fell on He Yan.

The young man wore the uniform red attire of the Liangzhou guard recruits. He was well-mannered and his hair was not messy. He bowed respectfully and saluted him respectfully.

At this moment, Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue were stunned together.

The window was not closed, and the wind outside the window blew in, causing the scrolls on the table to flip slightly, bringing a burst of coolness, and it also brought the smell of wine, indistinct, not real, sweet and sweet. The taste is like a spring day in Chang’an, full of beauty.

It was her gaze that was more gaze than Kasuga.

Xiao Jue was shocked in his heart. He only felt that this situation and scene seemed to be familiar to him. I vaguely remember that on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, some people seemed to have seen themselves with this kind of eyes.

“Did you drink?” While speaking, he subconsciously pushed Wan Xiangqin inward.

After this person was drunk, he couldn’t tell if he was sober just by looking at his face. But her actions will only make people bizarre.

Lin Shuanghe smiled and held up the tea, intending to take a sip and watch the play.

He Yan raised his head and showed a big smile at Xiao Jue.

“I will recite “The Way of the University”, dad.”

Lin Shuanghe spouted a sip of tea.
