Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Mu Hongjin finished speaking, his expression did not see waves, as if he was talking about other people’s affairs.

But He Yan didn’t hear her feelings. She thought for a while, and said, “Maybe…Yunlin layman didn’t come because of something that day. I also agreed to meet with someone, but I missed the appointment because of an emergency.”

“No urgent matter, no misunderstanding,” Mu Hongjin smiled: “He told me this personally.”

He Yan couldn’t say anything more, but felt that what Mu Hongjin said was not all the truth. Liu Buwangruo really has someone else in her heart. For so many years, since He Yan knew him, she has never seen any other woman. Never heard him mention a person’s name. Speaking of it, Mu Xiaolou is the one with the most different attitude, and Mu Xiaolou is Mu Hongjin’s granddaughter.

“Young people, always think that they are the unique one.” Mu Hongjin smiled, “This temple was also the same when he was young. As everyone knows, it depends on who is unique or not. In that person’s eyes, the temple is just Among the thousands of people, the one out of his eyes.”

“The person your Highness said is the teacher?” Xiao Jue asked.

“As Xiaolou said, the main hall can’t think of anyone else.” Mu Hongjin said: “It’s just that the main hall didn’t expect that he would come to Jiyang…”

He Yan said in his heart, that Mengji Queen’s guess was wrong. According to the proprietress of the tea shop, not only did Liu Bu-forget come to Jiyang this year, but also in previous years… But, wouldn’t Liu Bu-forget come to Jiyang for Mu Hongjin?

What is this, seeing each other is worse than seeing each other?

Mu Xiaolou curled his lips: “That person really has no vision. Grandmother is the most beautiful, most powerful and best person in the world. He is willing to bear it? A blind man can’t be? I don’t think it is called Yunlin Jushi, he is called a layman!”

“You,” Mu Hongjin nodded Mu Xiaolou’s head, and said with a smile: “You are young, do you know what negative is?”

“He won the favor of his grandmother. Not only is he not grateful, but he also doesn’t take it seriously. What’s the negative? He deserves to have failed to marry his grandmother. I don’t want my grandfather to be such a person.” Mu Xiaolou said in an angry voice. . She was childish, probably because when she was born, Mu Hongjin’s husband had already passed away, and she had neither seen it nor had any more feelings. When it comes to this, she has no scruples.

“Okay,” Mu Hongjin smiled and hugged Mu Xiaolou: “Then the husband-in-law that our Xiaolou will find in the future must cherish Xiaolou and never lose sight of it.”

“Of course!”

The happy appearance of the grandparents and grandchildren is not a taste in He Yan’s eyes. There are thousands of people in the world, and there are countless people who have no destiny, such as the Ganges gravel, but if they are misunderstood but cannot be said, that may be the most regrettable one.

The precious delicacies couldn’t make her happy either, after having eaten the meal with great care, Xiao Jue and He Yan got up to say goodbye to Mu Hongjin.

Mu Hongjin nodded.

When he turned to leave, He Yan finally couldn’t help it. He looked at Mu Hongjin and asked: “Since your Royal Highness knows that the deceased currently lives in Cui Mansion, why not ask him about his current situation and his experience over the years? Woolen cloth?”

From the beginning to the present, since knowing that Liu Buwang was the one who rescued Mu Xiaolou, Mu Hongjin’s understatement took the past and never mentioned this person again, as if Liu Buwang had nothing to do with her.

Mu Hongjin was startled slightly, then looked at He Yan, and said calmly: “That’s all in the past.”

“As for now, he and the temple are originally unrelated people.”

…

After the meal, He Yan and Xiao Jue bid farewell to Mu Hongjin.

After leaving the palace, He Yan couldn’t help but look back at the vermillion gate of the palace, and hesitated: “His Royal Highness, is it true that my master is a stranger now?”

Xiao Jue: “Love is deep and hateful. People who really let go will not deliberately forget something.”

“What’s the meaning?”

“Meaning,” he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, “Ms. He really doesn’t know how to observe words and colors when it comes to love affairs.”

Is this still detrimental? He Yan thought, besides, how could she be to blame? In her previous life, she didn’t have any occasion to study the thoughts of others, except for the enemy generals. Besides, a woman’s mind is delicate. If a woman really wants to conceal her own mind, she is determined not to let people see it.

“The governor seems to know it well,” she retorted.

“Slightly better than you.”

He walked forward leisurely, and He Yan quickly followed.

…

In the empty hall, the woman in the red robe and golden crown slowly walked up the steps and sat down on the high seat.

After Mu Xiaolou had eaten, he was taken back to the bedroom by his maidservant to rest. She was also frightened a lot yesterday. The child was tired and very sleepy. Mu Hongjin taught her to give her some calming soup. Fortunately, it was probably that Mu Xiaolou was only frightened but not injured.

Jiyang is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the Utuo people are among them. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city are in her hands. The current situation is really uncomfortable. This was a mess, but in Mu Hongjin’s heart, what he thought of was another name.

Liu did not forget.

She really didn’t expect that after so many years, she could still hear Liu Bu’s name from others. Not to mention that Liu Buwang would dare to enter Jiyang City again.

If Mu Hongjin was young, he would definitely stand in front of him, look down on him condescendingly, and let him get out of his territory. But now, she has no such urge, even the idea of seeing each other.

On the small table next to the high seat, there is a carved bronze mirror. Cui Yuezhi found it for her from a merchant. The mirror is extremely thin, the carvings are extremely beautiful, and the wooden handle at the bottom is inlaid with an emerald green opal. She has always liked complicated and gorgeous things, and she kept it by her side every day. Mu Xiaolou always said that the bronze mirror looked old-fashioned, but Mu Hongjin disagreed. She held the bronze mirror in her hand and looked at the person in the mirror.

The woman in the mirror has an extremely beautiful appearance, and she doesn’t know when, even her makeup has the same majesty and exquisiteness. A faint red flew at the end of the eyes, giving this beauty a cold and gorgeous. The lips are also red, and they are slightly pressed, appearing restrained and indifferent.

She stretched out her hand and stroked her sideburns. The maids all envied her for her long black hair. Even at this age, she didn’t see any oldness, but she didn’t know that she would make her close maid shine in the sun every morning, carefully. Combing to find out the white in the hair, pull them out one by one.

As long as she is still sitting in the position of the Queen of Mengji, she will always be young and beautiful, noble and strong, stepping on all the eagerness and restlessness under her feet, and accepting everyone’s respectful and convincing gaze.

but……

It’s old after all.

Mu Hongjin looked at herself in the mirror. Once upon a time, her face was clean and she never traced makeup. There is no such domineering and fierce look in her eyes either. The girl always has her eyes curled, and when she laughs, she reveals her white teeth. She is open, hearty, and carefree.

Her thoughts flew many years ago, and it was too long to remember exactly what year it was. At that time, Mu Hongjin was not the “Her Royal Highness” with the golden crown in the red robe. She was the only daughter of King Mengji, the jewel in the palm of her hand, and she was a seventeen-year-old girl.

The seventeen-year-old girl, full of imagination about love and the future, suddenly learned that her marriage had already been decided, and she was about to be arranged to marry the son of an important court official. Her first reaction was fierce resistance.

The old King Mengji, her father looked at her with a little guilt, but his tone was undoubtedly firm: “You must marry him to secure the position of the prince and daughter.”

“I don’t want to be a queen at all,” Mu Hongjin sneered, “I don’t want to exchange my relationship for this position, I would rather be an ordinary person!”

Her resistance was not taken into consideration, perhaps it was just a child’s willful fight, or perhaps, King Mengji knew very well in his heart that even if it was resistance, there would be no result. The status of the prince was already unstable, and no one could run away if he was not careful.

Mu Hongjin slipped out of the palace in the middle of the night.

She has a strange temperament and has long longed for the life of ordinary people. With a riding whip, he changed his head and left Jiyang City that night.

Back then, Mu Hongjin was a bit older than today’s Mu Xiaolou, and a bit smarter and more sassy. All the way to the foot of Qiyun Mountain.

The road on Qiyun Mountain is steep, and others say that there is a barren mountain above it. At the bottom of the mountain, there is a dense peach forest. It is the spring day, and the peach blossoms are blooming and romantic. Mu Hongjin met the gangster not far from Taolin.

Probably every single girl, if she doesn’t pretend to change, is particularly likely to encounter a gangster who is innocent. If this girl is still a beautiful girl, she can’t avoid it. So many stories about heroes saving the beauty in the drama script are all derived from this.

Mu Hongjin ran away all the way, and when he ran under a peach blossom tree, he accidentally slapped his foot, and there was nowhere to avoid it.

The gangsters stepped forward with a grinning smile, like catching turtles in an urn. If they were in the drama, at this time, the hero who saved the United States should be on the scene.

The hero who saved the United States did appear.

“stop.”

At the moment of the moment, someone’s voice came. It was a clear male voice. Mu Hongjin looked back and saw that a young man in white was walking slowly, his long hair tied in a white silk bun, and a piano on his back, with clear eyebrows. , Qingzi came out of the dust, as if the Taoist Hongchen who ignored the world, stood in front of her.

The gangsters were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, only when the young man looked weak, but he was strong, let him roll. Mu Hongjin was also a little desperate, he looked more like a luthier than a hero.

The young man just stood calmly and didn’t move.

The gangsters turned into anger, and they had to make the young man suffer a bit, until the young man pulled out the long sword at his waist, and Mu Hongjin could see clearly that he still had a sword.

The young man in white is really a hero, and he is still a kind-hearted hero. His swordsmanship is extremely high, but he didn’t take the lives of those people.

Under the peach blossom tree, there were only two of them. In the patch of scarlet, Mu Hongjin looked at each other, the boy’s eyes were calm and indifferent, and his robes were slender, but she knew that he was not a luthier, he was a knight. Leaping out of those thrilling playbooks, a magical soldier appeared in front of her and saved her young knight.

All the horror of Fangcai faded away, her eyebrows curled up with a smile, “Thank you for saving me, my name is Mu Hongjin, what is your name?”

Appearing to be a little stunned by her sudden joy, the young knight paused and said, “Liu does not forget.”

The Jiyang girl was cheerful, lively and enthusiastic, and Mu Hongjin looked at him with a distressed expression, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

“Liu Shaoxia, I have a broken foot, and I can’t walk anymore. Save people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. You carry me!”

The corners of the lips of the person in the bronze mirror slightly curled up, her eyes gradually moved away, and she smiled unconsciously when she recalled the peach blossoms of that year.

The bronze mirror in his hand was not firmly grasped, and one fell on the ground carelessly.

The sound alarmed the woman on the high seat, and she stooped to pick up the bronze mirror, startled slightly. The smooth surface of the bronze mirror revealed a crack due to the drop just now. Very slight, if you don’t look closely, you won’t be spotted.

The smile on her lips faded. After a while, put the mirror aside.

In the end… it is difficult to reconcile a broken mirror.

…

When I returned to Cui’s house, it was already evening, and Cui Yuezhi had not yet returned. He Yansheng was afraid that Liu would not leave without saying goodbye. The first thing he did was to find Liu Buwang. When he found it, he found Liu Buwang was playing chess with Lin Shuanghe. Both of them love to wear white clothes. Lin Shuanghe is the best son of the world when he wears it, and Liu Buwang is a swordsman and knight with nobleness and dust.

Seeing He Yan’s return, Lin Shuanghe said, “Master, madam, you are back! Mr. Liu also played chess very well. I don’t forget that Liu has such a high level of chess skill. He can’t even get through ten moves. This is the best. It’s been a few games, or else, Master, you and Mr. Liu will also play chess to win a game for me?”

He Yan rolled her eyes silently in her heart. It wasn’t that she brag about her master, but Liu did not forget this person, there was nothing bad at it. Both civil and military talents, Lin Shuanghe and other three-legged cat kung fu, cheating girls in the Qinlou Chu Hall is okay, compared with Liu Buwang, it is an insult to Liu Buwang.

She walked up to Liu Buwang and said to Lin Shuanghe: “Since I have lost so many times, Brother Lin should go back and practice and talk about it next time. I have something to find Master, so let’s talk about it later!” Pulling Liu Bulong to his feet, he walked into the house.

Lin Shuanghe looked at He Yan’s back, leaned close to Xiao Jue, and said strangely: “In a hurry, what’s wrong with my sister He?”

Xiao Jue: “I’m going to listen to the story.”

“Listen to what story?” Lin Shuanghe was inexplicable, “have you seen the prince in the palace? How about it, didn’t you embarrass you?”

Xiao Jue chuckled lightly without answering. There is no embarrassment, but… his eyes fell on the door closed by He Yan, just this trip, to Mu Hongjin, to Liu Bu-forget, and even to He Yan, it was probably an accident in an accident. .

Cuijiao was holding the tea to go in, but Xiao Jue stopped him. He set his eyes on the teapot on the tea tray and said, “I want to change the bowl of brown sugar water. It needs to be hot.”

Cui Jiao nodded. Xiao Jue turned her head and saw Lin Shuanghe staring at him with weird eyes, frowning: “What are you looking at?”

“Xiao Huaijin,” Lin Shuanghe looked at him seriously, shook his fan, and said three words: “You are finished.”

“You are sick.” He replied indifferently.

…

In the room, He Yan pressed Liu Buwang to sit down at the table, and sat down with him.

She has a lot of questions, such as the tracing of Utuo people mentioned by Liu Buwang, and what Jiyang is doing now, but she said: “Master, I just came back from the palace and met Her Royal Highness.”

Liu Bulong looked at her.

“The Queen Mengji seems to be old acquaintances with the master.” He Yan hesitated before saying.

Liu Bulong said: “Not bad.”

Did you admit it so soon? She was stunned for a moment, so magnanimous, does it mean that it’s really nothing? He Yan discovered for the first time that he had so many tongues, and he had to understand the private affairs of others. But if it was about Liu Buwang, she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of past she had, like a godless, ruthless master.

Perhaps it is this little past that can make him a little more pyrotechnic and look more like an ordinary person.

“The Queen Mengji said that she had admired Master once, but she has another love in her heart.” He Yan said in one breath, “The Queen Mengji wanted to escape from marriage and made an appointment with the master, but the master did not come, so she He returned to Jiyang and became a pro.”

When Liu Bu forget heard this, he still had no expression on his face, and he couldn’t see what was thinking in his heart.

He Yan said, “Master, is this true?”

She always felt that with Liu’s unforgettable bravery, he would have to bury the body when passing by the dead pile. If Mu Hongjin really begged, he would definitely take her away. If you didn’t plan to take her away at the beginning, you wouldn’t make an agreement with Mu Hongjin at all.

Why bother to do so.

“It’s true.” Liu Buwang replied lightly.

He Yan was surprised: “Why?”

“This is the best choice for her.” Liu Bulong said: “As the Queen of Mengji, you should bear due responsibilities. Jiyang is her responsibility.”

“But…” He Yan was unwilling to reconcile himself, “Is it because of this that Master didn’t take her away, or for other reasons. Is there really another love in Master’s heart?”

For so many years, she had never seen Liu Buwang mentioning a woman or someone she loved. To put it bluntly, if the “lover” is no longer alive, at least every year in the Qingming Zhongyuan will be worshipped, but no, there is nothing.

Liu Buqiang didn’t answer her words, but just smiled and looked at He Yan: “Have she… been doing well?”

How are you? He Yan couldn’t answer this question. Jiyang City’s current situation is really not good. But from a certain point of view, Mu Hongjin is married and has children, and with granddaughter Chenghuan’s knees, at least he is no more lonely than Liu Buwang.

She had to say: “Xiaolou is her granddaughter.”

Liu Buwang smiled and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent and stagnant.

Outside Cuijiao was knocking on the door and said, “Madam, here comes the brown sugar ball sweet soup.”

“Why do you still like sweets?” Liu did not forget, and laughed, “You go out to drink sweet soup. I want to stay for a while for my teacher.”

He Yan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said: “Then Master, I will go out first.”

She exited the house and the door was closed behind her back.

The night in Jiyang is also warm and mellow, not colder than in the north. The wind blew in from outside the window, causing the shadow of the tree to sway slightly. Like the fog on Qiyun Mountain.

Liu Buqiang has no father and no mother. He is the youngest disciple of Taoist Yunji on Qiyun Mountain. The Taoist Yunji came out of the dust, and strayed away, adopting a group of orphans as apprentices. Liu Buwang ranked seventh and was called Xiaoqi.

The teenagers practice martial arts on the mountain, and when they are eighteen years old, they have to go down the mountain to practice. When Liu Buwang went down the mountain, the seniors came to see him. He was proud and simple in temperament, and had a pure nature. Everyone was afraid that he would be deceived at the foot of the mountain.

Every young man feels that his future is infinitely bright, he can seduce his forehead in the world, and take care of injustices. There is nothing that can humiliate their character, and there is nothing that can defeat their persistence.

The same is true for Liu Buwang.

Who knows that just after going down the mountain, in the peach blossom forest at the foot of the mountain, I saw a gangster bullying a weak woman. Liu Buwang stepped forward, drove away the gangster, and was about to leave, but was stuck by the woman like a dog skin plaster and couldn’t shake it off.

He still remembered the first time he saw Mu Hongjin. The girl’s beauty was so beautiful that it would make people blush at a second glance. With two braids hanging on his chest, he blinked and looked at him, his voice was innocent: “Shaoxia Liu , I have a broken foot, and I can’t walk anymore. Save people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. You can carry me!”

He was shocked by the righteous remarks, and took a step back and said, “No.”

“Why not?” Mu Hongjin said: “Aren’t you Young Xia? Young Xia must do this.”

Do you have to do this? When he was a teenager, Liu Buyang didn’t understand. He had been living in the mountains and had not dealt with sophistication. He didn’t know whether what she said was true or false. But seeing her convincing appearance, Liu Bu Wang thought, maybe… the people at the foot of the mountain are like this, is he too much fussing?

He was thinking about it, and he saw Mu Hongjin screaming with a bitter face, “Oh, oh,” “It hurts, it hurts every time I move.”

Being so squeamish, he was unhappy in his heart. The daughter of Taoist Yunji and his junior sisters were not so squeamish, so they had no choice but to bow down and said, “Come on.”

Mu Hongjin climbed up happily.

The girl’s hands were clawing her neck tightly, her warm body pressed against her, and she could smell the fragrance in her hair. Liu Buzheng was so uncomfortable, he wanted to refuse, it was a step too late. So he had to admit his fate and said: “Girl, where do you live? I’ll take you back.”

“I don’t have a home.” The girl’s voice was pitiful, “I was abducted. My home is far, far away. I will follow you from now on. Where do you go I will go.”

Liu Buwang was so startled that she almost didn’t fall off her back: “Where did I go where did you go? Why did you follow me?”

“Since you rescued me, of course you have to bear responsibility for me to the end.” Mu Hongjin said confidently, “Otherwise you will send me back to my home, my home is in Shuojing, far away from here, you can send ?”

Liu Buwang: “…”

He really didn’t expect that he saved people by himself and saved such a big trouble. This is true for the people under the mountain, and the women under the mountain. It’s no wonder that the older brother has to tell him before leaving: “The woman under the mountain is a tiger.” The tiger was scared off even after he set off a firecracker. Can’t get rid of it?

As if seeing his thoughts, the girl pressed his ears and said, “Don’t be afraid, I don’t eat a lot, and it won’t cost you much. It won’t be a trouble if you take me with you.”

“Please, young man.”
