Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 166

Chapter 166

“Not allowed to go.”

He Yan was startled.

After a while, she asked: “Why?”

Xiao Jue looked at her, bent his lips, his tone was mocking as always, “Chu Zilan is from Xu Jingfu, staying in Liangzhouwei with ulterior motives, you and a spy are too close, you also want to surrender to Xu Jingfu. people?”

This charge can be deducted seriously, He Yan repeatedly denied: “I am not, I don’t!”

Xiao Jue snorted coldly and ignored her.

“Capital Governor, of course I know that the fourth son of Chu has a special identity,” He Yan was very sincere. “I promise, nothing we talk about on weekdays involves the secrets of Liangzhou Guardian. Besides, I don’t know. What’s Liangzhou Guard’s secret? If the fourth son of Chu really wants to test military affairs, I will avoid it.” She was particularly sensitive in this aspect in her previous life, and Xiao Jue really doesn’t have to worry about it here.

“Moreover,” He Yan said again: “If he really has ulterior motives in Liangzhouwei, I am so close to him, maybe I can make some words, it will benefit us.”

Xiao Jue glanced at her, “You are so stupid, I’m afraid that you will be knocked off the bottom if you don’t say anything.”

He Yan: “…”

Perhaps Jiang Jiao is wrong. There are not only women in the world, but men are also extremely irritable for a period of time every month, which is not pleasing to the eyes.

Anyway, Xiao Jue won’t let people go anymore. He Yan sighed in his heart and had to say: “Okay, Governor, then I won’t go to him. But I’ll still talk to the maid next to Chu Fourth Master, otherwise the appointment will be lost for no reason. , It’s not so good either.”

Ying Xiang said solemnly when he came, but don’t worry about anything urgent.

Xiao Jue’s expression was calm: “No, you won’t be going back and forth anyway.”

He Yan: “…”

Xiao Jue’s life is really straightforward.

…

As the night got darker, Ying Xiang came in from outside the house, closed the door, walked to the man in front of the window, and whispered: “Four son, the light in Ms. He’s house has gone out. It should be off.”

When Chu Zhao heard the words, his expression was not angry, he only shook his head and smiled: “Sure enough.”

“It should be Governor Xiao who refused to allow it.” Ying Xiang said: “But if you missed the appointment without even saying hello, it’s really…”

“It’s okay,” Chu Zhao looked at the thrush hanging in the bird cage in front of the window. The bitter cold place was actually enhanced by him, as if he had returned to the prosperous town of Shuojing. He teased the birds for a while before turning around. , Said: “The more nervous Xiao Huaijin is, the more he can prove one thing.”

“He Yan is very different to him.”

The light on the table shook lightly, disappearing into the shadows along with his voice.

“She will become Xiao Huaijin’s weakness.”

…

On the second day, He Yan went to the martial arts field for daily training as usual, and Xiao Jue was also there today. Because Xiao Jue’s mood was really abnormal these few days, He Yan didn’t dare to be lazy and trained very hard. At noon, when it was about to rest, all of a sudden, Shen Han rushed over from the Liangzhouwei recruits, ran to Xiao Jue, and said, “The governor, the governor, there are people from the capital!”

The voice of these words was a little louder, and the soldiers of the Nanfu were unmoved, but He Yan was a little strange. What does the capital come to Liangzhouwei to do? Liangzhou Wei’an has been born for more than half a year since he drove away the Utuo brought by Ridamuzi last time. At this time, there are people from the capital, but what happened?

Xiao Jue asked Tian Lang to continue training the new army, and he followed Shen Han to the other side. After a while, Shen Han and Xiao Jue reappeared, followed by a vast group of people. The head was a father-in-law wearing a palace gown, holding a whisk in his hand and smiling kindly. Xiao Jue gestured to Tian Lang, who immediately asked Nanfu soldiers to stop their daily training.

The kind-faced father-in-law stepped forward and smiled: “Which one is He Yan?”

He Yan, who was named, was taken aback, and stood up and saluted: “That’s the kid.”

The father-in-law looked at He Yan up and down, his eyes were a little hairy. He Yan was not unfamiliar with such a scene. She had had it before, and she was suddenly surprised. Could it be…

In the next moment, the father-in-law said: “Your Majesty has a decree, Master He will take it.”

He Yan knelt down respectfully and saw the people in front of him open the bright yellow imperial decree scroll, and said in a long voice: “Following the sky, the emperor called, Wei Heyan in Liangzhou today, brave and loyal, brave and good at fighting, has repeatedly stood in the war in Wutuo. I am very pleased with the marvellous power. Wu Anlang is specially named and crowned. I hereby make it clear to the world, and this–”

He Yan was taken aback, Wu Anlang?

Seeing that she hadn’t moved, the father-in-law reminded: “Young Master He? Why don’t you accept the order and thank you?”

He Yan hurriedly stepped forward and thanked him for the decree. I still have doubts in my heart, why would your Majesty praise her at this moment? On the surface, it was because of the last time Liangzhouwei’s Utuo military affairs and Jiyang city military affairs. But how could this incident be known to the palace, Xiao Jue should not say, even if it is Mu Hongjin, he will only truthfully tell the ins and outs of the matter, and it is impossible for the emperor to notice her such a small role, especially In these two battles, she was not the protagonist.

The doubt in his heart hasn’t disappeared, and the father-in-law has already smiled and handed over to He Yan: “Congratulations, Congratulations, Young Master He is so young and promising, and he will have a boundless future in the future.”

He Yan smiled and returned the gift to him, looking to the side of Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue frowned slightly, and seemed not very pleased with the situation in front of him. He Yan knew in his heart that this incident was also unexpected by Xiao Jue.

Of course, those who came from the capital would not specifically praise her alone. The main thing is to reward Xiao Jue, the main general, and to carry it into Liangzhou Guards box by box. The soldiers of the Nanfu were rigorously trained and did not dare to look sideways. When did the Liangzhou Guardsmen see this formation, they couldn’t wait to crane their necks on the martial arts field, trying to listen to the movement of this head.

When Xiao Jue followed the people in the palace to talk in the guard station, the recruits from Liangzhou Guard “hulled” all at once, surrounded He Yan in the center, and babbled flattering compliments.

“Congratulations, brother He, you got promoted so soon!”

“Isn’t the Liangzhou guards no longer us, we have to go to Beijing! Go to Beijing! Hey, does anyone know what kind of officer Wu Anlang is? Isn’t it better than the coach? Wouldn’t the coach look at Brother He in the future? Still called Big Brother?”

“I have already said that Brother He is unusual. When I saw Brother He for the first time, I knew that Brother He was definitely not in the pool.

“Bah, you don’t want to be an afterthought!”

The crowd was so crowded that He Yan couldn’t say a word completely, but Hong Shan didn’t see it well, so he pulled her out of the crowd and ran wildly. When there were fewer people around by the river, He Yan followed, and He Yan got it. Gap.

“Ahe, congratulations,” Hong Shan laughed, “I finally got what I wanted.”

“You have completed half of the road to meritorious deeds.” Huang Xiong twisted the Buddha beads around his neck, “It’s already very fast.”

“What kind of shit luck is this?” Wang Ba was unwilling, “Did you give the upper hand some Ecstasy?”

Jiang Jiao smiled and said: “Brother He earned this step by step. In Jiyang and other places, he lost his life if one is not good. Since you are willing to go out and get the reward at the present level, you deserve it.”

“But,” Mai looked at He Yan, “How does Brother Ahe look unhappy?”

Everyone looked at He Yan. When he was fighting for the banner in Liangzhou Wei, He Yan expressed his wish that he could immediately enter the Nine Banners Camp and establish a career. Now that he is truly sealed, he has no joy at all on his face, and even a little sad on his face.

Stone asked: “What happened?”

He Yan smiled reluctantly: “It’s nothing, it’s just a little… I can’t believe it.”

“Hey,” Wang Ba sneered, “This is called the beggar picked up the money, and he is crazy with joy. What’s unhappy, hypocritical!”

He Yan didn’t say anything. In fact, she wasn’t upset, she was just a little strange. It is precisely because when she was doing “He Rufei” in her previous life, her merits were achieved step by step on her own, so she knew how difficult it was to get promoted, but now she is inexplicably named as an official, which is really unreasonable. Moreover, it is Wu Anlang. Such an official position.

It’s hard not to think too much about it.

Perhaps, she should ask Xiao Jue what is going on inside.

…

After talking with Hong Shan and the others, He Yan planned to go back to Xiao Jue and ask what happened.

Before I went to the place to live, I saw Shen Muxue and Xiao Jue in the courtyard in front of the house. The two stood under the tree, and Shen Muxue was talking to Xiao Jue. Not long after, Shen Muxue bent down and picked up a piece of silk from the box on the ground. The things that the emperor gave to him probably also contained precious fabrics. Unfortunately, Xiao Jue had no family members. The Liangzhou Weili Party only had a girl named Shen Muxue. These clothes materials were naturally given to Shen Muxue.

Shen Muxue seemed to be very happy, holding the silk and thanking Xiao Jue. Since the time when He Yan met Shen Muxue, this girl has been cold and cold, inaccessible like a fairy. Now she smiles like a flower at Xiao Jue, but she makes He Yan stopped, his legs seemed to weigh too much, making it difficult to move forward.

She hesitated, planning to wait for the two of them to finish speaking before coming forward, but a voice came from her ear: “Why not?”

He Yan turned around and Chu Zhao stood in front of him, looking at her with some doubts.

“It’s not too urgent. It’s okay to wait a while.” He Yan said perfunctorily, “Why is Brother Chu here?”

“I’m here to look for you.” Chu Zhao glanced at the two under the tree and then at He Yan, “Since Brother He is not in a hurry, it’s better to stay close to me.”

He Yan thought for a while, and said, “That’s okay.”

She turned her head and walked in the opposite direction to Xiao Jue from Chu Zhao, and asked, “Brother Chu is looking for me in a hurry?”

“It seems that Brother He Rixun is really busy, so busy that I forgot the agreement I made with you last night, and I never remember it now.”

He Yan suddenly remembered what she had remembered today. Who knew that the imperial seal in Beijing would come, and she would forget about Chu Zhao. Wen Yan apologized: “I’m sorry, I fell asleep unconsciously last night, I wanted to come to apologize to you today, but…”

“It’s just a joke, don’t take it to heart,” Chu Zhao smiled, “Of course you should be happy when you join an official today.”

He Yan paused: “Do you know that too?”

“I knew it yesterday.”

Seeing He Yan’s instantly puzzled face, Chu Zhaocai said: “The people from Beijing have already passed on to me yesterday, saying that they will be there today. I was looking for you last night, and I wanted to talk about it. If you are suddenly sealed, it’s better to say hello to you in advance, so as not to be at a loss. I didn’t expect you to fall asleep, but seeing Brother He like this, he is still calm after entering the office. It seems that he is thinking about it. .”

“You said that the people in the capital flew to you yesterday?” He Yan looked at him, “Why did they tell you?”

I’m afraid Xiao Jue didn’t get the news in advance.

“Because,” Chu Zhao looked into her eyes and smiled slightly, “I asked your Majesty Feng He to join the office.”

It turned out to be him?

Rao He Yan had a lot of guesses, and never thought of this possibility. He just asked, “Brother Chu, why is this?”

Chu Zhao continued to move forward and whispered: “When I was in Jiyang City, you and I had personally seen the brutal appearance of Utuo soldiers. By the side of the canal, Brother He gave me clothes that can resist water and fire. I am very grateful. The war is cruel, but Brother He has no fear at all. I see the bravery and fearlessness of Brother He. And before that, I also heard about Brother He fiercely fighting Ri Damuzi. Dawei can have a hero like Brother He, It’s Wei’s blessing.”

“I don’t know why, Governor Xiao refused to be promoted to your official position, but I think if I can help Brother He’make meritorious service’, I’m very willing to help.”

These words didn’t sound like a problem, but for some reason, He Yan still felt strange. After thinking about it, she said, “But this behavior by Brother Chu really surprised me.”

“You don’t seem to be happy about being an official?” he asked.

“I was just at a loss for a while.”

Chu Zhao looked at her, and after a moment, he smiled: “I thought you would be very happy. After all, after you became an official, the distance between you and Governor Xiao was a step closer. Since you like him, you don’t always have to be because of your status. Worry about things.”

He Yan almost choked on his saliva and looked at Chu Zhao suddenly: “What did you say?”

“Brother He doesn’t like Dudu Xiao very much?” Chu Zhao smiled gently and touched his nose. “Otherwise, you don’t have to be so sad when you saw Doctor Shen and Dudu Xiao being together just now.”

“I didn’t.” He Yan retorted instinctively.

Chu Zhao smiled without saying a word, neither forced her to question her, nor did he follow her words perfunctorily. For a while, He Yan was very depressed, wondering if he had missed a lot of details in the past? How to give birth to one and both of them can be clearly understood, Liu Buyun is, Lin Shuanghe is, even Chu Zhao is.

Is she so obvious? She has always been very restrained, polite and cautious.

Chu Zhao looked into the distance: “Actually, Dudu Xiao may not have you in his heart. After all, with Dudu Xiao’s temperament, he has taken a lot of attention to Brother He.”

He Yan asked: “Do you think so?”

“Brother He wants to know the feelings of Governor Xiao, but it’s actually very simple.” Chu Zhao smiled and said, “I can help you test.”

“How to test?” He Yan was inexplicable.

The man in front of him suddenly approached, He Yan was leaning against the tree behind him, and he was so close, he almost subconsciously punched him, his face stopped in front of He Yan, his eyes were smiling, especially intoxicating, “It’s very simple, Brother He is Girl, I don’t understand men’s possessiveness. If I deliberately behave closely with girls, if Dudu Xiao has a girl in his heart, I will definitely be very angry, if he is indifferent…the girl doesn’t have to worry about him. So, this It’s a very simple way.”

He Yan silently said this in his heart before he understood what he meant. She couldn’t wait to memorize the thirty-six tactics in the march, but this was the first time she heard about this kind of thing. Immediately asked: “…According to you, isn’t this using you?”

Chu Zhao still looked at her with a smile, his eyes soft and deadly, “If it’s Brother He, it doesn’t matter if you use it.”

This is really touching.

only……

He Yan stood up straight, moved a step to the side, avoiding his chest that was close, “Thank you Brother Chu for your kindness, but I don’t want to do this.”

An accident flashed in Chu Zhao’s eyes: “Why?”

“I probably understand what you mean. But how can you add methods to emotional matters? I like a person. Whether it’s openly speaking or not speaking for a lifetime, it’s frank and open. . If I have to try my best to test and guess, wouldn’t it be tiring? Even if I get this kind of feeling, it’s not what I think. Hasn’t Brother Chu heard a word? Use lies to verify lies, only Get another lie. In the end, I don’t know what is true or what is false.”

He Yan still had nothing to say. You must know that Xiao Jue looked very uncomfortable with Chu Zhao. Even if Xiao Jue didn’t like her, he would be furious when he saw He Yan staying with Chu Zhao. Would she be wrong because of this. Not being passionate.

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment: “Isn’t Brother He curious about what status is Brother He in the heart of Dudu Xiao?”

“Not curious.”

He Yan replied readily, and told Chu Zhao to not speak for a while.

“Fourth Young Master Chu, I never wanted him to know.” He Yan said, “I don’t plan to want him to know in the future. Therefore, I appreciate your kindness.”

“You don’t want to be with him?”

“The things in the world change rapidly, and the word “together” can be confirmed by the Fourth Young Master Chu for only a moment, not a lifetime. And what I can be sure of is only my own heart.”

Chu Zhao looked at He Yan, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. After a while, he resumed the smile he had just smiled again: “Since Brother He meant it, I don’t have a good idea. However, I have been counting on what I said just now. If one day Brother He changes his mind, I hope to’use’ me. There will be no partial rejection.”

He Yan also laughed, insisting on his tone: “There won’t be that day.”

…

He Yan’s figure faded away, Ying Xiang walked out of the room, and whispered softly, “Four sons.”

Chu Zhao looked at his hand, empty, he gave a “tsk”, “he actually refused.”

“Ms. He doesn’t plan to let Governor Xiao know her mind.” Ying Xiang sighed, “I don’t want to make Governor Xiao feel embarrassed.”

Chu Zhao smiled faintly: “There is such a stupid woman in the world who does not want to fight or beg to stay together. She has an invisible and intangible mind, and she thinks she is the cleanest thing in the world. Ridiculous.”

This reminded him of Ye Runmei, as well. The women who sacrificed for love are so stupid that they are despised.

Ying Xiang looked down and didn’t speak, and it took a long while to hear Chu Zhao said: “Let’s go.”

…

He Yan walked back slowly.

She didn’t expect that it was Chu Zhao who asked Emperor Wen Xuan to seal her into office. The reasons Chu Zhao told her sounded very reasonable. If He Yan is really a recruit who doesn’t know anything, and he is suddenly banned, I am afraid he will be ecstatic. The heart of the gentleman’s belly.

But she was not a little soldier who knew nothing, but Feihong who was very familiar with generals and consuls. Therefore, He Yan knew better than anyone that Wu Anlang was just an official position without real power. It sounds like it is a fourth-rank, with a lot of flowers, but in fact, it can’t mobilize any soldiers. She had not been able to rely on anyone in her previous life. She could only start as a recruit. I don’t know how much credit was sold to her boss to get a small official position. The small official position gradually increased until no one could obscure her feats, and she was finally valued by her majesty. But now, she looks like she has reached the sky in one step, in fact, she is not as powerful as the centurion.

If Chu Zhao only asked his Majesty to be appointed, and as to which official to be appointed is his own decision, this matter would be fine. But if the official position of Wu Anlang was proposed by Chu Zhao himself, the implications would be profound.

He asked for a title for himself, but he hired an official position with no real power at all. What was he plotting?

…

In the room, Feinu and Lin Shuanghe stood, looking at the person standing in front of the window.

“My sister He has joined the government?” Lin Shuanghe was confused, “Didn’t you say that you have to wait until you return to Shuojing to see your majesty? What’s the matter?”

“Young Master Lin,” Feinu couldn’t help but said, “This time, the Fourth Young Master Chu asked His Majesty to seal it.”

“Chu Zilan?” Lin Shuanghe frowned, “What does it matter for my sister He not to be in office? What kind of diligence does he offer?”

Xiao Jue’s expression was flat, but he looked carefully, and there was a slight chill in his eyes.

Feinu sighed, “It’s not a question of not being diligent. It’s not a good thing to enter the seal now.”

Lin Shuanghe shook his fan for a while, looked at Feinu, and then at Xiao Jue: “What do you mean by this? Why am I a little bit confused.”

“I originally thought that when I returned to Beijing, I would ask her to be named as a woman.” Xiao Jue said indifferently, “Chu Zilan took the lead and seemed to have helped He Yan, but in fact it buried hidden dangers.”

“One day in the future, He Yan’s identity will be exposed, and he will deceive the monarch and impinge upon the nine clans.”

Lin Shuanghe took a breath.

He stammered: “No, no, didn’t Chu Zilan know the female identity of Sister He for a long time? It’s been so long, and it’s been kept secret very well. In the future…it shouldn’t be exposed. Bar?”

“This is what Chu Zilan is clever.” Xiao Jue sneered, “It was just me that he wanted to deal with.”

He Yan is just a tool that can be used. Chu Zhao did keep secret for He Yan. He did not tell the world about He Yan’s identity. He turned his head and asked He Yan to seal it, successfully turning He Yan’s identity into a trap. . If there were no such incidents, the day He Yan’s identity as a woman was revealed, he could use various reasons to deal with the past. But after your Majesty rewarded him, it was different.

He Yan will become the best knife, piercing Xiao Jue’s heart.

This is Chu Zilan’s plan.
