Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 163

Chapter 163

After helping Chu Zhao cut the stone, He Yan went back to the house.

When she got to the house, she left the door without closing it. At the moment, the door was wide open, and Xiao Jue’s room could be seen. Xiao Jue sat at the table and did not read the military manual. Under the lights, he closed his eyes and pinched his forehead with his fingertips, as if sleeping in a fake sleep.

He Yan said in his heart, poor, he has never even rested since he came back. She walked to Xiao Jue’s side and bent down to look at Xiao Jue. The dim light fell on his face, making his handsome appearance even more hazy. The eyelashes are thick and long, like a tiny fan, which makes people want to reach out and touch them.

When the fingertips were about to touch the tip of the eyelashes, someone’s voice came: “What are you doing?”

He Yan shrank his hand suddenly, he had already opened his eyes, and his cold and indifferent gaze flicked across her face.

“It’s nothing,” He Yan stood up straight nonchalantly, “You have a bug on your face. I’ll help you drive it away.”

Xiao Jue didn’t bother to pay attention to her.

“It’s so late,” He Yan said: “Supervisor, you should go to bed. You have read the booklet for half a day, don’t you plan to rest?”

Xiao Jue rubbed his wrist, his expression slightly tired. When they were in Jiyang earlier, they also lived in a room without a middle door to cover. But at that time, there was nothing to do except for the last few days. I also turned off the lights early every day to rest, and when I returned to Jiyang, there were more things to be busy.

“Go to bed after reading.” He said.

“Am I going to follow Nanfu soldiers for daily training tomorrow?” He Yan asked, “Do I still need to tell Teacher Liang?”

Xiao Jue: “No, I have already told Liang Ping.”

He Yan nodded.

“You don’t seem to be worried?” He raised his eyebrows.

“Why should you worry?”

“The daily training volume of Nanfu soldiers is only a lot more than that of Liangzhouwei.”

“I’ve known this a long time ago.” He Yan sighed: “People go to higher places. They should be.” She doesn’t worry about training this kind of thing, it’s nothing but hardship. To endure hardships in Nanfu soldiers is more promising than hardships in Liangzhou Guards.

As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of a food basket on the side table. Xiaoji had been piled up with the local products sent by Cui Yuezhi. At this moment, it should have been cleaned up, and the food basket was particularly conspicuous. He Yan asked, “The Governor, haven’t you eaten?”

“how?”

“It won’t work if you don’t eat.” He Yan helped him open the food basket. The dishes inside were extremely rich, with meat, vegetables and snacks. He Yan let out a “hoh” and exclaimed, “Is Liangzhouwei’s current dishes so good?” But for a moment he denied it again, “No, this should be your meal alone, right? It’s good to be the governor. Eating alone is so delicate. With so many generals in Wei, you can eat the best.”

Xiao Jue was speechless: “Have you seen it?”

He Yan said in his heart, she had indeed seen it. In her years as General Feihong, she ate less than half of Xiao Jue’s. Not to mention dim sum, meat is good. This may be because Xiao Jue is the second son of Xiao, and her status as an “ordinary person” when she joined the army? The generals are still divided into three or six or nine ranks, but Liangzhouwei’s cooks are really good at craftsmanship, and the dim sum carved flowers are really beautiful.

He Yan called him: “Supervisor, come eat, it’s almost cold.”

Xiao Jue glanced at her, and saw that this person’s enthusiastic appearance seemed to be the shopkeeper of an inn, which seemed funny, but for a moment his expression returned to calmness and he walked to the table and sat down.

In Jiyang, the two of them often eat at the same table, which has long become a habit. He Yan subconsciously gave him a pair of chopsticks, and he also took a pair of chopsticks. She had actually eaten it at night. The familiar Liangzhou Weiganbing was a big appetite, but at the moment she forgot that she was not in Jiyang now, not “Wen Yuyan”, and happily reached out and took a piece of sugar cake.

After clamping it, He Yan reacted and looked up at the person opposite. The young man looked at her in his spare time and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“I’ll just eat a little bit,” He Yan said: “Do you not be so stingy?” She is now more and more courageous in front of Xiao Jue. There would be such a wild dance in front of Xiao Jue.

“Don’t talk when you eat.” Xiao Er Gongzi said coldly.

He Yan’s mouth was filled with sweet pastries, and he looked at the elegant and supremely eating appearance of the opposite person, and said vaguely: “Captain, this beard is so heart-warming.”

“what are you saying.”

He Yan swallowed the food in his mouth, “I said, this cook is so heartbreaking, the food you cook is your favorite. Of course, I also love it.”

Xiao Jue twitched the corner of his mouth: “What do you not want to eat?”

He Yan has long been dismissed from his habit of hitting others. At this time, I accidentally saw a palm-sized wooden box on the table. I picked it up and saw the picture of the Jiyang City Water God Festival engraved on the wooden box. I was taken aback, “Is this from Master Cui?”

Xiao Jue: “Yes.”

He Yan opened it to see, it seemed to be the ointment for wiping his hands, and then approached and smelled it, a faint fragrance of flowers. I couldn’t help but exclaimed: “The things in Jiyang City are really exquisite. Master Cui looked so tall and tall, but he didn’t expect to be so delicate. Even this is ready for you.”

Xiao Jue said: “I can’t use it.”

“Why?” He Yan inexplicably: “Isn’t it pretty?”

“Pungent.”

He Yan: “…”

The son of a wealthy family really has a high-sightedness, and he said that such a light and good smell was pungent. He Yan asked: “People have a lot of heart, isn’t it a pity that you don’t need it?”

“You like you to take it away.” Xiao Jue was impatient.

He Yan: “Really?” Seeing that Xiao Jue didn’t refute, she knew that Xiao Jue was not talking about a joke. Immediately put the wooden box containing the ointment. The box was small, but it reminded her of another thing that was left behind.

He Yan was injured when fighting against the Utuo in Cui Mansion in Jiyang. Lin Shuanghe gave her a box of “scar removal and muscle growth” medicine, which was exactly the same as the box Shen Muxue had given her earlier. Lin Shuanghe said that only Xiao Jue had this medicine. After thinking for a while, she looked at Xiao Jue and asked tentatively: “Capital Governor, did you ever ask Miss Shen to give me a box of scar medicine?”

Xiao Jue moved his chopsticks for a meal, and only asked, “Don’t want it?”

“Really you gave it?” He Yan hesitated for a moment, “Do you…do you also think that the scars on the woman’s body are shame and shortcomings, so you can’t talk about it?”

That was the case with Xu Zhiheng at the time. Although she didn’t say anything, she just kept some things in her heart and couldn’t get rid of it. This situation seemed familiar, and if men in the world thought so, she wouldn’t be surprised. But if this person changes to Xiao Jue… He Yan thought, she should be a little disappointed.

Although this disappointment came very unreasonable.

Xiao Jue glanced at her lightly: “You think too much.”

He Yan was taken aback.

The young man’s voice was very calm, “It’s just scars, everyone has them. You don’t need to be nervous or care.

Don’t you need to be so harsh on yourself?

He Yan lowered his head and didn’t say anything, but the palm of his hand gripped the wooden box with the anointing oil extremely tightly. After a while, she whispered softly: “It seems that I am narrow-minded.”

Perhaps, she really doesn’t need to be too harsh on herself.

…

Early in the morning of the second day, He Yan went to the Nanfu Soldiers to follow along with the daily training.

Nanfu soldiers are different from Liangzhouwei. When He Yanchu arrived at Liangzhouwei, the soldiers in Liangzhouwei were all recruits. The recruits have a lively temperament, lively and lively all day long, and get together, and occasionally find free time to laugh and laugh in the middle of training. Nanfu soldiers are veterans, and they are extremely serious during the day training. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn as if he would be on the battlefield in the next moment.

The deputy commander of the Nanfu Soldier’s Day Training was Tian Lang. He Yan had seen this person once before, and that was the bloody man who was scolded by Xiao Jue when he was still wearing Xiao Jue’s jade pendant. This man’s temperament was as cold and hard as Xiao Jue. For a time, He Yan missed Liang Ping’s noise or Ma Damei’s kindness, and even Shen Han, who sometimes showed unusual zeal and concern, became the object of her miss.

Tian Lang is also paying attention to He Yan.

It has been a long time since Nanfu Bingli has recruited recruits. Even if it was for Xinna people to come in, it would not be a recruit from Liangzhouwei. But this young man named He Yan is not, he is very famous in Liangzhou Weili. I heard that I had never lost the wind when I had competed with Ridamuzi before. Later, I went to Jiyang with Xiao Jue to fight the Utuo together in Jiyang. For Xiao Jue, he already trusted this young man’s approach.

This young man looked weak and weak. He thought he would not be able to keep up with the contents of the Nanfu Soldier’s daily training, but he did not expect him to complete it well, and he didn’t see any difficulty. Tian Lang just relaxed a little now. He Yan was the one named by Xiao Jue to enter the Nanfu soldiers. If he could not complete these daily trainings, Xiao Jue might not be too happy. Tian Lang has always been in awe of this young boss.

He Yan didn’t know that because of Xiao Jue, he had become the number one person in the eyes of the deputy commander who needed attention. The happiest thing is probably that in the evening, after all the day training for a day is over, I can go to the martial arts ground next door to find Hongshan and the others.

As soon as he walked in, he heard Mai Mai yelling excitedly: “Brother Ahe, how are you? Are the soldiers in the Nanfu Soldiers good? Have you tried it out?”

“…No.” The soldiers in the Nanfu Soldiers have been tempered for many years, and they don’t have so many eagerness to compete. Perhaps in their eyes, He Yan was just one of thousands of ordinary soldiers, and it was not worth the extra attention.

“Ahe, why don’t you show them your skills? Fortunately, stand still in the Nanfu Soldier.” Hong Shan laughed and joked.

“I was taught to be a human being.” Wang Ba snorted: “There are outsiders and there are outsiders, and the people in the Nanfu Soldiers are not Liangzhou Guards, a bunch of trash!”

He Yan smiled and looked at him: “Brother Wang, you are scolding all of us, including yourself, is that okay?”

“I am already a member of the forward camp.” He said arrogantly: “I don’t belong to Liangzhouwei.”

Jiang Jiao was speechless: “That is also Liangzhouwei’s forward camp.”

As he spoke, He Yan jumped on the railing next to the martial arts platform. She likes to sit on it with her legs dangling, just like swinging on a swing, but just as soon as she jumped up, something rolled out of her arms. Fell on the foot of the stone.

The stone bends down and picked up the things on the ground. Wheat asked, “What is this? Can it be eaten?”

“It’s like an ointment for wiping hands?” Huang Xiong asked, “I have seen my little sister use it. What is painted on it?”

“The pattern of the Water God Festival in Jiyang City,” He Yan said, “That’s it.”

“What’s the matter with you?” The king looked away disgustedly, “The ointment that also wipes hands, isn’t this stuff used by women? You a big man, use these things? Isn’t it disgusting?”

He Yan: “Why can’t men use the ointment for wiping their hands? I’m exquisite! You guys who are bandits, of course don’t understand this.”

“Why do you look down on the bandits?” Wang Ba was furious. “We are divided into different ranks among the bandits!”

Seeing that it was about to quarrel again, Jiang Jiao quickly stood up and persuaded: “Okay, stop arguing. But Brother He, let’s dance knives and sticks on the martial arts arena every day. You use this…it’s no use, right?”

I’m afraid it just moisturized a little bit today, and it will cut through the hole tomorrow. The speed of moisturizing the hand is not as fast as the speed of cutting the hand. Imagine applying a faintly scented anointing oil on the hand in the last moment, and then throwing a huge stone lock up and down in the next moment. People probably thought she was ill.

He Yan said vaguely: “It’s the people in Jiyang’s heart, don’t waste it.” As he said, he stretched out his hand and was about to pick up the ointment box in Shishi’s hand.

Only halfway through his hand, a soft female voice rang: “What is this?”

Everyone looked back, but it was Shen Muxue. In the night, she is holding a lantern in one hand and a basket full of herbs in the other. She is beautiful in white and looks like a fairy. Her gaze fell on the box in Stone’s hand, and he hesitated: “This is… hand balm?”

“Yes.” Hong Shan said.

“Can you show me?”

Naturally, no one refused the request of a beautiful medical woman. Shen Muxue took the box in front of her eyes, and when she saw the pattern of the water god drawing on it clearly, her eyes flashed. After a while, she raised her head, looked at the crowd, and asked, “Whose hand balm is this?”

“My.” He Yan said.

Shen Muxue looked at her. At this time, the night was about to stop, and only dim torches were lit up around the martial arts field. The teenager was sitting on the railing with a casual smile. Her heroic features have also been given a layer of soft colors, especially her eyes, which are bright and moving. If they grow on a woman’s face, it will be more impressive.

Shen Muxue was taken aback by this absurd idea.

He Yan stretched out his hand to take the box, Shen Muxue stepped back, did not return it to her, just asked softly, “This…is the governor for you?”

Has she seen it before? He Yan nodded: “Yes.”

Shen Muxue stiffened.

He Yan saw that her expression was a little strange, and he thought about it for a while, then asked: “Miss Shen, do you like this box? If you like it very much, I can give it to you.”

In fact, what Jiang Jiao said also made sense, this hand ointment for her to use, it is indeed violent. Her hands are full of cocoons and scars from the knife and stick.

It’s okay not to say this. When she said this, Shen Muxue suddenly raised her head, and she was a little angry in her gentle and gentle eyes. She stuffed the box into He Yan’s hand and said coldly: “No need.” Turning around, carrying the basket and leaving.

He Yan didn’t even have time to say goodbye to her.

Although Shen Muxue was in Liangzhouweili, although his temperament was cold, he had never angered people or said hard things. It was the first time for an action that clearly showed anger as it was today. Wheat tugged at the corner of He Yan’s clothes: “Brother Ahe, Girl Shen seems to be angry, why?”

He Yan: “How do I know why?” She and Shen Muxue have always been in the water. It was the first time they talked after they came back. Shen Muxue’s reaction was really confusing.

“Does she like you?” Huang Xiong rubbed the prayer beads on her neck, “I was so angry when I saw you that I didn’t understand the style?”

“Pull it down, can Shen Muxue look at him?” Wang Ba sneered, “What dreams are you doing in broad daylight.”

“Forget it,” Jiang Jiao patted He Yan on the shoulder, “Brother He, you should also pay attention to your own behavior on weekdays. This will cause misunderstanding by others.” He seemed to think of his fiancée who died early, and said with sorrow. : “It’s not good to delay people’s lives.”

He Yan: “…”

Because of Shen Muxue’s experience, He Yan and the brothers discussed more about why Shen Muxue was angry. In the end, no results were discussed. The final conclusion is: It may be that it is not pleasing to see He Yan, and there is no reason why, every once in a while, a woman will always look at a person not pleasing to the eye for a few days.

After eating with friends, it was completely dark. He Yan walked into the house, walked halfway, and saw Chu Zhao again.

“It’s so late, why is Brother Chu still outside?” He Yan greeted him, “Do you want to pick up rocks today?”

When Chu Zhao heard the words, he smiled: “How come from Brother He’s mouth, I seem to be a fool.”

He Yan said in his heart that the hobby of picking up rocks without going to bed in the middle of the night is actually no different from a fool in her eyes.

“I think it is windy at night, and it might rain tomorrow, so I just take back the book that I put out to dry.” Chu Zhao smiled and pointed to the booklet in his hand.

He Yan: “That’s how it is.”

It was probably deliberate. The house that Chu Zhao lived in was really simple and rudimentary, no worse than the previous time. Last time there was a cook he brought here specially, this time he came directly to Liangzhouwei from Jiyang, and Chu Zhao had no one beside him except Ying Xiang and a few attendants. Therefore, he does not live well and eats simply. But some people can look breezy and bright even in the worst environment. Chu Zhao is probably this kind of person. Not only does it not make people feel embarrassed, but on the contrary, he is quite elegant.

“I heard that Brother He went to Nanfu Soldier’s Day Training today?” Chu Zhao walked back side by side with her, “How is it? There is something uncomfortable.”

“It’s okay.” He Yan smiled: “Except that the deputy commander doesn’t like to talk, everything is fine.”

Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled: “Brother He is so capable, he can adapt to it everywhere.”

He Yan looked at him, this person was always good-tempered and gentle. I also know that she is Xiao Jue’s person, and her position is inherently subtle, but she never asks about military affairs. It’s a good way to handle it, even if it’s a casual chat on weekdays, it’s such a trivial daily routine. If you are an ordinary person, an ordinary girl, over time, you will inevitably apologize to him, and feel that you are saving the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Coupled with the appearance of Chu Zhaosheng, this point of guilt can easily become pity in the end, and pity one step further is pity.

No wonder he is the first person in the dreams of the girls in the city of Shuojing.

It’s just that she usually looks at Xiao Jue’s face too much, and she feels that such a gentle smile is a little polite, and her thin figure is too weak. He Yan was horrified, and felt that what Hong Shan and the others said “women always look at a few people in a month are not pleasing to the eye” seems to be true. For example, now, Chu Zhao has done nothing, and she is so picky. It’s really good. Make trouble unreasonably.

In order to avoid his own random thoughts, He Yan asked Chu Zhao: “Brother Chu has such a good temper, shouldn’t he make a woman angry?”

Chu Zhao wondered: “Which girl did Brother He annoy?”

This person is too keen. He Yan perfunctively said: “It’s not angry, but Doctor Shen saw me today, she looked a little strange, my friend told me…” Although this was a bit hard to tell, He Yan still said it, “Maybe Doctor Shen Have love for me?”

Chu Zhao stared at her blankly, for a long while, “poofed” and laughed out loud. He has always paid attention to his appearance, and his behavior has already been calculated. After laughing for a while, Chu Zhao said, “Brother He, although you look very suave and romantic now, but…”

He Yan wondered in her heart that she was not so bad. Judging from Chu Zhao’s smile, it seemed like something unreasonable to like her. Do you know Song Taotao liked her very much?

“Brother He, don’t worry.” Chu Zhao coughed lightly, “Doctor Shen will never like Brother He. Brother He doesn’t have to worry about it at all.”

He Yan: “…Why?”

“Because Doctor Shen has liked Dudu Xiao for many years, she only has Dudu Xiao in her heart, so how can the rest of them be in her eyes?”

He Yan was stunned.

After coming over for a while, she asked, “Doctor Shen…like the governor?”

“Brother He doesn’t know?” Chu Zhao was also surprised by her reaction. After thinking about it, he said, “Yes, you are a recruit from Liangzhouwei. You should not know these things. But the Korean and Chinese colleagues actually know that, Shen The doctor girl has liked Governor Xiao for many years.”

“The eldest lady in Yushifu, if it weren’t for someone who really liked someone very much, how could she abandon her identity as the eldest lady and come to such a bitterly cold place to be a little doctor girl?” Chu Zhao Smiled and said: “It can be seen that I like Governor Xiao very much.”

He Yan suddenly enlightened. For a moment, she suddenly remembered why she felt so familiar when she first saw Shen Muxue. In fact, it wasn’t the first time she saw Shen Muxue, she also saw it once when she was a teenager. At that time, Shen Muxue was younger than he is now, but she has been born and settled exceptionally beautiful. On the day when the students of Xianchangguan were hunting in the mountains, the saints came in person, and many of the Manchu civil and martial arts were also present. Shen Muxue, as Shen Yushi’s youngest daughter, attracted the attention of all teenagers at the time.

He Yan was also among the group of teenagers, just looking at the beautiful girl in the rabbit fur cloak and holding the stove in her hand, she was beautiful like a fairy of nine days, and she was extremely envious.

At that time, Shen Muxue kept looking at Xiao Jue.
