Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Two days later, Liu did not forget to be buried.

According to the custom of Jiyang, after a person passes away, he is sent to the coffin on a wooden boat and buried in the water. Wooden boats are also called “soul-carrying boats.” Because Jiyang is near the water, the people of Jiyang believe that the goddess of water will use boats to carry people’s souls to the other shore.

He Yan went to see Liu for the last time.

Liu Buwang was lying in the wooden coffin with a calm expression. He didn’t know what he thought of before he died, and the corners of his mouth were also smiling. He Yan put the flower in his hand on the wooden boat.

The mentorship between her and Liu Bu-forgotten was actually very short-lived. It was Liu who pulled her out of the pile of dead people and taught her how to use swords and arrows to bow and horses. The combination of his Qimen Dunjia and the military books He Yan learned has changed He Yan’s life ever since.

If it hadn’t been for the hand that Liu Bulong had extended to her, she would have died in the desert of Moxian County. Relived for the first time and met Liu Buwang again. He thought it was a gift from God, but the fate disappeared very quickly.

He Yan hated that he didn’t say more to Liu Buwang, and now he left many regrets. She hadn’t had time to ask Liu Buwang what was going on with Mu Hongjin back then, nor did she have time to ask him where he had traveled over the years. She also had no chance to confide her thoughts to Liu Buwang, those uncertain troubles. In her life, the relationship between elders did not seem to be very good. The fate of his parents and relatives is even more fragile, and Liu Buqiang is also his master and father, and now he has also left.

There are always more regrets than consummation in the world.

“His Royal Highness.” He Yan heard Cui Yuezhi speak behind him. She turned her head and saw Mu Hongjin walking over.

She didn’t wear that red robe, she changed to black, with her long hair braided and a golden crown on her head. She was still as beautiful and powerful as before, but there was a little more dazed in her expression. This made her look like a lost child, who was fragile first.

He Yan stepped aside, and Mu Hongjin stepped forward and walked to the wooden boat.

The man on the boat will only have a sword and a piano as his funeral. He will stay in the wooden coffin together. When he goes down the mountain, he is so handsome and clean. When he leaves the world, he will not be polluted. Even though the boy in white is old, he still seems to be a boy.

Mu Hongjin stared blankly.

When Xiao Jue said that Liu Buwang was not there, she felt unbelievable at first, and then ridiculous. Then, a huge dazedness struck her and taught her that it was hard to believe that this had happened.

But what happened is what happened. Many things will not be shifted by human will. And she is no longer a little girl who knows nothing, just bury her head in the pillow and lie to herself to say that she doesn’t believe it.

So she came.

Liu Buwang died to protect the city of Jiyang. Before he died, he set up an array on the river bank in front of the gourd mouth.

As always, he refused to say anything.

This is the only man she has ever loved in her life. Even if Liu Buwang had someone else in his heart, they had broken up for many years, but after all, the worry was the worry. After he died, Mu Hongjin would still be sad.

“His Royal Highness.” He Yan thought for a while, walked forward, spread his palms, “Do you know this?”

Mu Hongjin slowly turned his head and saw a silver bracelet lying in He Yan’s hand. The bracelet was polished smooth and moist, and a circle of tiny daisies could be seen faintly engraved on the edge. For a moment, the pictures of the past flooded my mind, and it seemed that the kind voice of an old woman fell in my ears.

“This is called a Yuexin bracelet. Buy one and wear it on the hand of your sweetheart, and you won’t be separated for life.”

“Liu Shaoxia, did you hear that, buy one for me!”

“She is not my sweetheart.”

Mu Hongjin stared at the bracelet in front of her, as if she was looking at a late gift, she only felt her throat tighten, and asked in a dumb voice: “Why do you have this?”

“Before the master died, he held this bracelet tightly in his hand. I think this should be very important to him.” He Yan looked at Mu Hongjin, “Is this your Royal Highness’s bracelet?”

Mu Hongjin took the bracelet in He Yan’s hand and murmured, “I don’t know.”

How would she know? Those jokes back then have long been in the depths of memory, and even the memories dare not bring them out. She had already confronted Liu and did not forget whether she did not like herself, but now the bracelet was clear, telling her plainly that Liu had never had herself in her heart?

How dare she believe it?

How could she believe it?

A wave of feeble sorrow also floated in He Yan’s heart. Liu Buwang has already left, and no one knows what happened back then, but she still wants to defend Liu Buwang.

“His Royal Highness, I always feel that there may have been many misunderstandings between you and Master in the past.” He Yan said, “It’s just that the person is no longer there. If Your Highness knows this bracelet, please ask His Highness to keep it for you. . If your Highness feels embarrassed… put it back into the wooden coffin.”

“But I think,” He Yan said softly, “If the master is still there, he will want you to keep it.”

A gift that was not given out, a late explanation, and a frank confession, this is probably the most regrettable thing in his lifetime.

But what’s the use of regret, people die, and all the grievances related to it, whether they like it or not, will disappear.

The story ends here.

Mu Hongjin looked at the silver bracelet in his palm. After a while, he slowly clenched his palm and whispered, “I see.”

He Yan looked at her, he was about to put the bracelet away, and he was a little relieved. There is really not much she can do for Liu Buwang, and now, there is only one thing.

The wooden coffin was closed, and the ship was filled with wild flowers of various colors. Liu did not forget to descend from the spring, and now he is going back to the spring. The clear water of the river pushed the boat forward, further and further away, and gradually disappeared into the blue water between the mountains.

“What the hell is the other side?” He Yan murmured in a low voice.

But who can know this? Just like when Liu Buwang went down the mountain to meet Mu Hongjin, he sneered at the woman who sold flowers for a lifetime.

Back then, I only felt my life was long, but I saw a few people, listened to a few songs, met and parted a few times, and my life passed.

…

After Liu Buwang’s funeral was over, He Yan and his party were about to set off for Liangzhouwei.

Cui Yuezhi came to send them off, stood at the door of Cui’s mansion, and taught people to constantly move things on the carriage.

“These are all special products of Jiyang, you can take some more back. Liangzhou doesn’t have these things.”

Lin Shuanghe propped his head with a fan, and said, “You don’t need to bring this roasted rabbit. It’s greasy and it’s not convenient on a carriage.”

“Take it,” Cui Yuezhi insisted, “You take it and eat hungry, Zhong Fu,” he called the housekeeper over, “Are Kyoko ready?”

“Okay.” Zhong Fu came over with a cloth bag of red apricots. “They were all washed and clean. On the way, the governor and the girl ate two when they were thirsty. They quenched their thirst and were delicious.”

He Yan: “…”

Those who don’t know thought they were outing.

It’s so kind.

“It’s really enough, Master Cui,” He Yan smiled: “If you decorate more, the governor and I will have no place to sit.”

Cui Yuezhi looked at the stuffed carriage, and finally stopped, and smiled: “Okay, that’s all. Your stay in my Cui Mansion is too short, and the time is longer. I will take you to the end. The whole Jiyang city.” At this point, he solemnly bowed down to Xiao Jue and He Yan and bowed a big gift. There is Master Liu. This great kindness is unforgettable for Cui, and the people of Jiyang will also remember your kindness. If this life is useful for Cui, and for Jiyang City, Cui and Ji The people of Yang are determined to go through all kinds of fire and water, and will not hesitate.”

“If Ms. He has a chance in the future, she must come to Jiyang City to play more.” It was Cui Yuezhi’s fourth aunt, she smiled and said: “The next time I will stay longer, my concubines will do it for you. delicious.”

The second sister-in-law looked at Xiao Jue and said with a smile: “The same is true of Governor Xiao.”

Aunt Wei glared at both of them, stepped forward and took He Yan’s hand, and said, “Be careful on the road.”

He Yan smiled and nodded. As he was talking, someone came from outside to send a message: “Master Zhongqi, Mu Yi came with someone to say goodbye to Miss He.”

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, and He Yan asked, “Farewell to me?”

The people Mu Yi brought were the fifty people who planned to set fire to the Utuo ship with He Yan at that time. Among these fifty people, more than twenty died as a result of the war, but in the end, half of them were saved. At this moment, the remaining twenty people heard that He Yan was leaving, and followed Mu Yi to thank He Yan.

“Thanks to Miss He,” a young man scratched his head, “otherwise we may not be dead now. Before Miss He leaves, the brothers plan to come together and thank Miss He.”

Mu Yi took out a wooden frame from his arms and handed it to He Yan: “This is a gift from everyone to Miss He.”

He Yan took it and saw that it was a wooden picture carved from a whole piece of wood. There was a sea of fire engraved on it. A young woman in armor stood on the bow of the boat. This woman was holding a long whip with long hair behind her head. Bundled high, heroic and dazzling.

He Yan looked for a long while, then hesitatingly asked: “This is…me?”

“Yes.” Someone said: “Let’s pool some silver together and find the best craftsman in Jiyang to carve it out. But she still didn’t carve the charm of Ms. He. Ms. He hit Shen Wu with a whip. When I was entrusting the ship, it was really exciting to see, it was much more powerful than the engraving on this painting!”

“That is, this painting can also engrave the appearance of Girl He, not as beautiful as Girl He herself!”

“That’s it, Miss He can’t draw such a beautiful appearance.”

At the end, there was a serious voice of praise, which made He Yan blush. Well, she felt the enthusiasm of the Jiyang men at this moment.

Cui Yuezhi smiled and looked in front of him.

Mu Yi looked at He Yan and said, “Does He girl have to go back to Liangzhou?”

He Yan froze for a moment, nodded and replied, “I still have important things to do.”

“So.” A trace of regret flashed in the young man’s eyes, but for a moment, he stared at He Yan’s eyes again and asked seriously: “Will you come to Jiyang City in the future?”

Mu Yi was born handsome and masculine, and when his sincere and slight gaze fell on the person, it was really overwhelming. Even if He Yan realized later, facing such a look, he understood a little bit. She was a little embarrassed and touched, and no one would remain indifferent when faced with a sincere relationship.

It is an honor to be loved and admired by others.

“I like Jiyang City very much.” She smiled and looked at Mu Yi, “If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come again.”

Mu Yi was startled, scratched his head, and smiled stupidly.

“Hey,” Lin Shuanghe shook his fan, leaned close to Xiao Jue’s ear, and said, “I said it a long time ago. My sister He’s looks and temperament will definitely be likable. You see, so many eye-catching people, tusk tusk, you But I have to take my sister He well.”

Xiao Jue sneered, seemingly unbelievable, “What kind of perspective.”

“Of course it’s a good eye.” Lin Shuanghe put away the fan, “you know, gold always shines.”

While the two were talking, another person walked out of the house. This person was dressed in a azure robe, thin and gentle, and it was Chu Zhao. Next to Chu Zhao, Ying Xiang carried a baggage in her hand.

“Fourth Young Master Chu?” Cui Yuezhi was taken aback for a moment.

Cui Yuezhi already knew the relationship between Chu Zhao and Xiao Jue from Mu Hongjin’s mouth. The relationship between these two people is not dealt with, and their positions are different. Mu Hongjin arranged them in one place, of course, there is a reason for checks and balances. Speaking of it, this time the Utuo can be defeated, and the military defense plans and news sent by Chu Zhao are also indispensable. But Cui Yuezhi was a martial artist, and he felt a bit of sympathy for Xiao Jue. Later, he fought side by side with Xiao Jue. The balance in his heart had already fallen to Xiao Jue. Therefore, he was a bit rusty with Chu Zhao.

“Where is the Fourth Young Master Chu going to fight?” Cui Yuezhi asked.

“I came to Jiyang this time for the Utuo people. This matter is over, and I should say goodbye to all of you.” He smiled slightly, “I didn’t tell Master Cui before, and I don’t want Master Cui to bother you. These days The battlefield near the canal is cleaned up, Master Cui should also be lacking in skills.”

“He said that he was very understanding, and we seemed to show off.” Lin Shuanghe approached Xiao Jue and whispered: “He is too good at talking.”

Cui Yuezhi smiled: “The fourth son of Chu is polite, you should say in advance, even if Cui is busy, he still has time to practice for the fourth son of Chu. However,” Cui Yuezhi looked at Xiao Jue, “Chu Si If the son sets out today, wouldn’t he be able to go with Dudu Xiao, and he won’t be too lonely on the way.”

When Xiao Jue heard the words, his expression was cold, and he even pretended to be happy to give.

He Yan thought to himself that Cui Yuezhi’s polite manner was a bit blunt. Chu Zhao was afraid that he picked today deliberately, so that he would set off together.

However, what she didn’t expect was that Chu Zhao heard the words and said with a smile: “Yes, it just so happens that our destination is also Liangzhouwei.”

Liangzhou Wei?

He Yan was surprised: “Chu…how did the fourth son go to Liangzhouwei?”

Xiao Jue raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on him.

“I’ve written to tell Xu Xiang about the military affairs in Jiyang.” Chu Zhao smiled, “I will stay in Liangzhou guard until your majesty’s decree comes down. After all, in Jiyang affairs, Chu also started from the beginning. The tail is there.”

He did not go on, but everyone knew what he meant.

Cui Yuezhi’s heart is secretly speechless, and the battles in the court have become fierce to such an extent now? No wonder it will give Utuo people a chance.

When Xiao Jue heard the words, he gave a sigh, and then said with a smile but a smile: “The fourth son of Chu wants to live in Liangzhouwei, it’s okay.”

“But Liangzhouwei, this handsome has the final say.”

Chu Zhao smiled.

He ignored Chu Zhao no longer and turned back into the carriage. He Yan looked at Chu Zhao with different gazes. This person… seemed to be deliberate.

Deliberately to the point where he would not even cover up.

She saluted Chu Zhao: “Brother Chu, I’ll get on the carriage first.”

Before Chu Zhao could speak, He Yan hurriedly got into the carriage. Chu Zhao is so provocative, Xiao Er Young Master must be unhappy in his heart. At this juncture, you can’t pluck the tiger’s head. If you provoke Xiao Jue and prevent her from entering the Nanfu soldiers, this trip will be really white. Come.

The movement of her hurriedly getting into the carriage fell in Chu Zhao’s eyes. Chu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and smiled. After bidding farewell to Cui Yuezhi and the others, Ying Xiang got into his carriage without a hassle.

The carriage drove out of the city.

Lin Shuanghe opened the carriage curtain and glanced out the window. The city of Jiyang has just passed the Utopian military affairs, not as lively as before. But the rivers of all sizes remained the same, and the boats floated quietly. I think it won’t be long before I will return to the lively and lively scene before.

When Quan came here, he was playing around. He was really going to leave, and he felt a lot of sadness. Lin Shuanghe looked at it and sighed.

He Yan was still holding the woodcut painting given to her by Mu Yi and a group of people. On the finger trace, the woman painted on the painting has the appearance of a former female general.

Xiao Jue saw her movements and mocked: “Now I’m not afraid to take it back and show it to others in Liangzhouwei?”

In the past, a face-faced person was embarrassed and entangled in every way, but now such a big woodcut painting, she is like a treasure, and no longer mentions the words “when someone finds out the identity of a woman”, the woman’s thoughts really cannot be taken seriously. .

“It really doesn’t work. I can say that it was given to my fiancée. This is not what you teach me.” He Yan said: “So many people, so many hearts, kindness is hard to resist, and kindness is hard to resist.”

She was modest, but her eyes were filled with satisfaction and contentment. Xiao Jue was only amused. He leaned back slightly, and a smile flickered in his eyes, saying, “It’s very popular.”

The carriage went away gradually.

Mu Hongjin stood on the shore, surrounded by green hills, and could no longer see the shadow of the soul-carrying boat. The former boy returned to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and she will continue to be here, sitting on the high seat in the cold hall.

This is her responsibility.

“His Royal Highness is already on the way back.” The maid beside her whispered: “Your Highness, let’s go back to the mansion too.”

Mu Hongjin nodded, and finally glanced at the end of the long river, turned around, wide-sleeved robe, majestic and beautiful, there seemed to be a little silver light around his wrists, and disappeared very quickly.

The wanderers who came from nowhere, wearing a hat on their heads and holding bamboo sticks, sang along the banks of the river. Their voices drifted along the wind and drifted away in the river.

“I am still thinking about Tingwei, today, how can I comfort my loneliness… The bitter cold thinks about thin clothes, and riding a thin horse alone on the waning moon… I also know that life is different, but I am afraid that the years will drift. The cold light will remember the past, the night When does the rain hear the despair…”
