Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 165

Chapter 165

The sky gradually darkened.

The concoction that had been boiled for the coaches was all taken away and drunk by the coaches. Since Lin Shuanghe came to Liangzhouwei, Xiao Jue’s decoction was in charge of Lin Shuanghe, so there was no words to talk to him. Shen Muxue stood here, Xiao Jue stared at the Nanfu Soldiers practicing daily training, and didn’t mean to talk to her. After a long time, he naturally felt embarrassed.

After all, she is the young lady with golden branches and jade leaves in the Yushi Mansion, with a strong self-esteem carved in her bones. She can give up everything and share the hardships with Xiao Jue, and don’t do it with the rich and beautiful officials’ daughters, and come to such a bitterly cold place to be a doctor girl. But she couldn’t be like the girls from ordinary people’s homes, even the servants and maids, frankly and directly express her feelings to Xiao Jue.

What Shen Muxue has always hoped is that as long as she is with Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue will find her good one day, and will take the initiative to tell her that they are the best match in the world. This is her reservedness, and she has never felt relieved. After all, in these past few years, there are many stunning beauties around Xiao Jue, but she has never seen him touched. Xiao Jue is not close to women at all.

But now, Shen Muxue was confused. Some things made her have a bad premonition. If she hadn’t let Xiao Jue see her good, Xiao Jue would have fallen in love with someone else?

Shen Muxue couldn’t imagine such a scene.

She lifted the empty bamboo basket, did not say goodbye to Xiao Jue, turned and walked out. When Xiao Jue was training soldiers, she didn’t bother people gratifyingly. Over the years, she had already grasped Xiao Jue’s preferences clearly.

“Miss Shen.” Someone stopped her.

Shen Muxue raised her head, and the man in front of him in a long-sleeved robe smiled and pointed to the front, “If you keep your head down like this, you will hit the stone in front.”

Not far away, there stood a huge boulder. The recruits of Liangzhouwei often like to sharpen their knives on this boulder. Now the pits and pits on the top are full of knife marks, and some people are engraved with scolding words. She hadn’t kept her mind just now, and she hadn’t even seen such a big stone. If it hadn’t been for Chu Zhao to remind her, she would have really smashed her head into it.

Shen Muxue stopped and owed Chu Zhao, “Four Lord Chu.”

She knew that Xiao Jue and Chu Zhao had different positions. After all, Chu Zhao was Xu Xiang’s proud disciple. It’s just that Chu Zhao was born well and has a gentle temperament. It is difficult for ordinary women to feel sick to him. The same is true for Shen Muxue. Seeing him on weekdays, he never loses his etiquette.

“Miss Shen seems to have something on her mind.” Chu Zhao smiled slightly: “But are you worrying about Governor Xiao?”

Shen Muxue was startled, and suddenly there was a panic when someone saw something about her heart. However, he calmed down for a while and said softly, “There is nothing, just thinking about the pharmacology in the medical books I have read today. The fourth son of Chu is too worried.”

Chu Zhao nodded and was about to move on. At the moment she passed by, Shen Muxue’s heart moved, and she suddenly asked, “The fourth son of Chu seems to be befriending a recruit named He Yan from Liangzhouwei?”

Shen Muxue had seen how Chu Zhao and He Yan were talking several times. Although Chu Zhao is approachable on weekdays, he never takes the prestige of the official young master when dealing with others, but he is definitely not a warm and talkative person. In Liangzhou Weiwei, apart from talking to the beautiful and excessive maid, he has nothing to do with other people. Get in touch. But when it came to He Yan, his attitude was very kind.

“Brother He?” Chu Zhao paused, “Brother He is my good friend in Liangzhouwei. What can Miss Shen want to do with him?”

He admitted so straightforwardly, Shen Muxue didn’t know what to ask. It took a moment to look at Chu Zhao, “When the Utuo sent troops to Jiyang, I heard that the fourth son of Chu was there at the time, and he lived with the governor and them at the mansion of Master Zhongqi. The fourth son of Chu is also a good friend of He Yan, presumably I know a lot about He Yan.”

Chu Zhao listened to her quietly.

Shen Muxue hesitated for a moment before asking, “How is the relationship between the governor and He Yan? How are they… getting along well?”

“Miss Shen’s question is a bit strange,” Chu Zhao glanced over the woman in front of him, Shen Muxue grabbed the skirt corners nervously, and Chu Zhao smiled, “Brother He is so skillful and straightforward, he is trusted by Governor Xiao. Ms. Shen should know better than anyone else that Governor Xiao is definitely not an easy person to approach, but Brother He is not an ordinary person, and seems to easily open the heart of Governor Xiao.”

“Compared with the master and confidant, I think Dudu Xiao and Brother He are more like friends.”

“Friends?” Shen Muxue’s voice became a little sharp for a moment, and she frowned: “Youjun Commander and a recruit, with such a bad status, how can they be friends?”

Chu Zhao laughed: “Ms. Shen’s words are not correct. When you make friends, you should do whatever you want. Age, status, and position are not important. How can friends be distinguished between high and low? Very good. When they were in Jiyang, the two of them shared a room and ate at the same table. Governor Xiao also bought clothes for Brother He. If it was a superior or inferior, it would be too far-fetched.”

Shen Muxue was secretly shocked.

Xiao Jue Aijie is lonely, eating on the same table with others is the limit, living in the same room? She couldn’t imagine that she was still buying clothes for He Yan. When did he care about the minutiae of others?

Chu Zhao stared at Shen Muxue’s eyes: “What is Miss Shen worried about?”

Shen Muxue met his thoughtful gaze, couldn’t help taking a step back, and subconsciously shook his head to deny: “No.”

“Ms. Shen’s female body, since she can come to Liangzhou not too far from Shuojing, she should be a firm-minded, brave and magnanimous person, how can she be timid about this matter.”

Shen Muxue pursed her lips and said nothing.

“I can probably understand what Miss Shen is worried about. Brother He is a good friend of mine. I can’t say too much. However, I also admire Miss Shen’s intentions, so…If Miss Shen really can’t let go, it’s better to personally Go and explore. Sometimes,” he said lightly: “People should trust their instincts. Especially…women.”

Shen Muxue raised her head, the man in front of her was still smiling, his eyes were gentle and concerned, but she unconsciously gave a faint chill all over her body.

“I… don’t understand what the fourth son of Chu is talking about.” She frowned, clenched the basket in her hand, and quickly walked around Chu Zhao’s side: “I’m going back to make medicine, fourth son of Chu, goodbye. .”

Shen Muxue hurriedly left, looking up from the back, a little embarrassed. Chu Zhao looked at her back with a slight smile on her face. After a while, he lowered his head and said to himself: “It’s getting more and more interesting.”

“Shen Muxue,” he murmured, “Xiao Huaijin, which one would you choose?”

…

The day training of recruits on the martial arts field is over.

When Lin Shuanghe was passing by the martial arts field, he happened to see Xiao Jue disperse to the Nanfu soldiers, so he went up and said hello, planning to go back to dinner with Xiao Jue.

“Huai Jin, have you done too much exercise for my sister He these few days? I haven’t seen her for a long time. I have to remind you that she still has injuries, although it is not very serious, but the girl’s family is not better than the men’s. You should recuperate more. You’d better be considerate.”

Xiao Jue said coldly: “Be nosy.”

“How can this be called nosy, Sister He is my friend and yours. Friends should help each other.”

“First take care of yourself.”

Lin Shuanghe shook the fan, sensitively aware that Xiao Jue was not in a good mood today. Although this person is in a good or bad mood, he will not be too revealing on the face, but… after all, it is years of friendship, and some subtleties can still be captured.

He was about to ask aloud, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that someone not far away was also walking forward. Liangzhou guards come and go except for recruits, who are coaches, and people who don’t wear uniform and strong clothes always look extraordinarily noticeable. Lin Shuanghe said, “Four Lord Chu?”

Chu Zhao turned his head, saw Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe, nodded and said: “Duke Xiao, Young Master Lin.”

“It’s so late, what is the Fourth Young Master Chu doing here?” Lin Shuanghe asked.

“I just went to the Wulu River for a walk, now I’m back.”

The weather has gradually started to warm up, with the scent of early summer, the Wulu River has no winter loneliness, cool and pleasant, and it is really comfortable to walk around at night.

Xiao Jue was cold and frosty and didn’t bother to talk to Chu Zhao at all. However, Lin Shuanghe came to a mellow, unable to make the atmosphere so stiff, but he and Chu Zhao didn’t have much contact with each other, so he had no words to talk to. Asked Chu Zhao: “What is the fourth son of Chu tied around his waist?”

Chu Zhao followed his gaze and smiled: “It’s just a stone.”

Lin Shuanghe was a little curious. Chu Zhao was not only the fourth son of the Chu family, but also the proud disciple of Xu Jingfu. Although he wasn’t overly gorgeous and expensive, he was still exquisite. He thought that Chu Zhao was wearing a jade on his waist, but he didn’t expect it to be a stone. The Chu family is about to fall? So poor?

Seeing the surprise in Lin Shuanghe’s eyes, Chu Zhao smiled, took the stone from his waist and handed it to Lin Shuanghe.

Lin Shuanghe glanced at it. It was a flat stone, naturally in the shape of a horse, with traces of grinding on the tail. It has been chiseled on the horse head and the horse body. If it is made of jade, it is interesting and lively, but made of stone, it is more like a toy for children. special.

This is indeed just a stone.

“How did the fourth son of Chu think of attaching a stone to him?” Lin Shuanghe handed the stone back to him, coughing clearly, “this stone is not worthy of the identity of the fourth son of Chu.”

“The heart of a friend is priceless even if it is a stone.” Chu Zhao answered seriously.

As soon as Lin Shuanghe heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency, and smiled at Chu Zhao: “What did the fourth son of Chu mean, this is a gift from the girl in my heart?” Xu Pingting’s favorite person. No matter how powerful Chu Zhao was, he still couldn’t dare to openly confront Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang loved his jewel in his palm the most. Xu Pingting’s eyes are higher than the top, and she will definitely not send a stone to Chu Zhao. The girl who can give this kind of things is probably the daughter of ordinary people. Chu Zhao dared to openly wear the things donated by women other than Xu Pingting, and he was not afraid of being discovered by the Xu family’s father and daughter, and taught him that he could not eat it.

How can this be unconvincing?

Chu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: “It’s not a girl in love, it’s Brother He.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence all around.

Xiao Jue’s eyes fell on Chu Zhao’s face, but Lin Shuanghe couldn’t wait to ask: “You said it was He…Brother gave you it?”

“Forget it,” Chu Zhao said, “The stone was originally carved by her.”

Lin Shuanghe was shocked.

He Yan actually got stuck in it! I even do things like sending stones, which shows that I love it very much. But this can’t be blamed on her, it is the age when the love is first opened, who can resist the attack of the gentle and kind son?

If it’s someone else, it’s fine, but Chu Zilan and Lin Shuanghe think that it’s not a good match. Not to mention the mess in Chu Linfeng’s yard, Chu Zilan’s father, Xu Pingting could not handle it. He Yan had no identity background after all, and Xu Pingting wanted to find a reason to deal with He Yan. If Chu Zhao really had He Yan in his heart, the best way would be to stay away from him, but he didn’t cover up so he made He Yan a living target, waiting for Xu Pingting to come and ask for trouble.

Besides, Chu Zhao knew the identity of He Yan’s woman.

For a time, Lin Shuanghe, who had always been “good to others,” looked at Chu Zhao’s eyes with a bit of hostility.

Who is Chu Zhao? He saw Lin Shuanghe’s sudden hostility in his eyes, his expression unchanged, and he looked at Xiao Jue. Under the night, the young man’s dark blue brocade robe was covered with a layer of cold and clear color, and his posture was handsome and straight. , His eyes were dark, and he looked at himself faintly.

There seems to be a sharp edge.

He smiled and arched his hands: “When my room is here, I won’t disturb Dudu Xiao and Young Master Lin. See you tomorrow.” He turned around and went in another direction.

“This Chu Zilan is a bit unkind.” Lin Shuanghe murmured as he looked at his back.

It seemed to be directed at He Yan.

…….

The lights in the room were turned on again.

Xiao Jue changed his clothes and sat down at the table. During the day, he watched the training recruits at the martial arts ground, and at night he also watched the military album sent from the capital.

Lin Shuanghe sat aside, looked at him, went out a few moments, and came in quickly, holding a plate of preserved fruits in his hand, quietly placing it on Xiao Jue’s table.

Xiao Jue glanced at him.

“I just made some in the kitchen today. Since you like to eat, eat more.”

Xiao Jue frowned: “What is this?”

“Plums!” Lin Shuanghe slapped his thighs, and said solemnly: “Don’t you like to eat sour? The freshly picked ones are not pickled. They must be sour and sour.”

After a moment of silence, Xiao Jue said, “Take it away.”

Lin Shuanghe stood upright, shook his fan and said, “I won’t go. Xiao Huaijin and Chu Zilan have said so, can you still sit still? If you don’t do anything, Sister He will be abducted by Chu Zilan, but it will happen sooner or later.”

The young man replied indifferently: “It has nothing to do with me.”

“You, me, and sister He have all lived together and died in Jiyang City. There is no love and righteousness. You and I know who Chu Zilan is. Everyone is a man. What he wants to do is also a fool. You can tell. Chu Zilan can’t get rid of Xu Pingting, but wants my sister He to think about him. You don’t know, when I was in Jiyang earlier, sister He couldn’t love Chu Zilan, so she told me , I don’t plan to get married in this life. Tell me, how much sin did this man commit?”

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, his eyes moved slightly, but he did not stop Lin Shuanghe from continuing to speak.

“I don’t have the ability to marry someone else and I want to provoke me. I think this person is behaving badly,” Lin Shuanghe said, “My sister He is a bit stupid, but she has good skill and loyalty, and she looks good, except for her average family background. Some are worse than others. Such a good girl can’t be delayed by Chu Zilan. In addition to me, Liangzhouwei can compete with Chu Zilan. Go and see what Sister He thinks. Hook it back, let’s take a long-term view.”

Xiao Jue sneered: “Who do you think I am?”

“I know, I’ve wronged you about this.” Lin Shuanghe patted her friend on the shoulder, “But think about it, if Chu Zilan goes on so unscrupulously, something will happen sooner or later. You dare to say that there is no one arranged by Xu Pingting around him, as long as As soon as the news came back, Sister He was in big trouble. I can’t stand by, and neither can you. Anyway, you have also pretended to be a fake couple. How can you be so ruthless for a couple of days?”

The more you talk, the more you go, Xiao Jue said: “No matter how much nonsense, I will send you back to Shuojing tomorrow.”

Lin Shuanghe choked, sighed, and said, “I have said everything that should be said. If you don’t make a move, I will make a move. I can’t let my sister He be bullied by Xu Pingting in vain.”

After all, with a wave of hands, I left.

The room became quiet again, and Xiao Jue’s eyes fell on the green plums on the table, and suddenly became a little irritable, and the pen in his hand was suddenly broken into two sections from the middle.

The next moment, the middle door heard the sound of “rustling”, the door lock opened with a “click”, the door was already open, but the other party knocked on the door pretendingly: “Supervisor, can I come in? ?”

Xiao Jue: “…”

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll assume you agreed.” The man said very naturally, pushing the door open, and as soon as he entered, he met Xiao Jue’s cold eyes.

“Ah,” He Yan stood up straight, “Du Governor, you are in the house, then why don’t you say a word? I thought you were not here.”

Xiao Jue: “Something?”

“I came to ask you,” He Yan said earnestly: “When I train tomorrow, will I follow today’s amount, or will it be the same as before?”

Although he offended Xiao Jue today and made him angry, Xiao Jue is her boss after all, so He Yan still has to take the initiative to ask with a good temper.

“If you have enough physical strength, you can add five times.”

Why does it sound like the anger hasn’t subsided, and it’s getting bigger and bigger? He Yan thought, thinking that Xiao Jue today is better to provoke less, so he nodded, “I know. Then I will take a rest as soon as I have something to do, so I won’t disturb you.” .

“Are you busy?” Xiao Jue sneered, “What’s the matter?”

“The fourth son of Chu wants me to go to him at night and tell me something very important.” He Yan said, “Time should be almost up.”

What she said was anxious. In fact, He Yan didn’t know what Chu Zhao was asking for her. When Ying Xiang came, he said it solemnly, so people didn’t dare to underestimate it.

Xiao Jue raised his eyes and looked at her.

Under the light, the young captain looked uncomfortably handsome, his shirt loose, his skin like jade, and his eyes were like a cold pool that had been frozen for three years. His sharp eyes made people feel timid.

His voice was very calm, with a slightly imperceptible anger.

“Not allowed to go.”
