Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Annihilation of cronies?

There was a moment of blankness in He Yan’s mind, followed by the grief and anger of Li Li.

This is not an accident at all, this is murder! He Rufei did it deliberately, as he was afraid that he had already shown his feet during the First World War in Huayuan. Since the He family can kill themselves, who still have blood relatives, He Rufei can also use the same method to treat non-family “confidants”.

The anger made her feel cold, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were red in an instant. The hand holding the branch couldn’t help but force, the branch was crushed into two pieces by her. The sound alarmed the speaker. Lin Shuanghe and Shen Han looked back and saw He Yan. Lin Shuanghe said strangely, “Brother He, why are you here?” He was about to step forward, and He Yan took a step back, knowing who he is at this moment. There is no way to talk to Lin Shuanghe, but someone will find the clues, so he hurriedly said: “I have something to do, take a step first.” Turn around and leave.

Lin Shuanghe stopped where he was. After a while, he turned his head to look towards Shen Han: “…You just heard Brother He’s voice, did you cry a little?”

Shen Han: “…Perhaps Young Master Lin is listening.”

Did he listen to it? Lin Shuanghe recalled carefully, and he felt that only He Yan’s voice was a little weird, as if he couldn’t help crying.

At this moment, Xiao Jue and Feinu walked in from outside and saw Shen Han and Lin Shuanghe standing in the courtyard, frowning slightly: “What are you doing here?”

“Come to you to talk about something.” Lin Shuanghe asked: “Did you not see my brother He when you just came in?”

“He Yan?” Xiao Jue said calmly: “No.” As he said, he entered the house.

Shen Han arched his hand at Lin Shuanghe. He had to go to the martial arts field. Lin Shuanghe followed Xiao Jue into the house, Feinu stood aside. He closed the door, looked back at Xiao Jue who took off his cloak, and said, “Huaijin, are you still in a cold war with my sister He?”

Xiao Jue glanced at him: “I’m not as boring as you.”

“Then why does my sister He just seem to be crying?” Lin Shuanghe muttered to himself, and then looked at him: “You have been better to my sister He in the past few days. I don’t know what happened to her and Chu Zilan. What’s wrong, I see that she is very depressed these few days. My sister He, who is extremely inferior deep in her heart, is really in love with Chu Zilan. If you say coldly to others, you are still a little girl, and it will inevitably be sad. “Lin Shuanghe winked at Fei Nu, motioning Fei Nu to follow the conversation and say something: “Is it right, Fei Nu?”

Feinu stood straight, pretending not to hear him. He Yan’s self-esteem? In Liangzhouwei, there is no one more arrogant than He Yan. The two words inferiority can’t be matched with He Yan Baganzi, and I don’t know how Lin Shuanghe can see it.

Xiao Jue’s expression became even colder when he heard the words, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: “That’s Chu Zilan’s business.”

Lin Shuanghe thought, one or two, why are they so stiff? Thinking about it carefully, it’s really not to blame He Yan for not believing that Xiao Jue was interested in her, but for Xiao Jue’s indifferent and ruthless attitude, Lin Shuanghe also had doubts in his heart. It’s like like it, it’s like a friend.

“You have nothing else to go out first,” Xiao Jue said, “I have something to tell Feinu.”

He is going to do business. Lin Shuanghe didn’t dare to bother, so he said, “That’s OK, you say, I will go out first and come to you later.”

After Lin Shuanghe left, Feinu locked the door and walked to Xiao Jue, “The governor, the war in Huayuan…”

“The reenactment of the Battle of Mingshui.” Xiao Jue interrupted him.

Feinu stayed silent for a moment: “It doesn’t look like there is any problem, but it can’t stand scrutiny. General Feihong brought 150,000 soldiers and horses, and with his past battle exploits, he unduly defeated so tragically.”

“Not only that,” the young man leaned on the back of his chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, his hands were extremely white, and he touched the tea cup in front of him, his voice faint: “All the confidant officers died in battle. There is no such coincidence in the world.”

General Feihong’s confidants were all lieutenants who had followed him in the bloody battle and killed him from the sea of blood. It’s not the first time on the battlefield. Although there is an insider, it’s okay to deceive others, and it’s a bit reluctant to deceive them. Moreover, there was the Battle of Mingshui before, and now I look at the Battle of Huayuan, and I feel that there are loopholes everywhere.

“Master thinks…”

“It’s more like silence than an accident.” Xiao Jue replied quietly.

Feinu was silent. If it was said to be mutilating, what was the reason for mutilating? During the Ruming Shui Battle, Xiao Zhongwu and his cronies had no survivors, but now He Rufei is still alive, and He Rufei is not among the objects of extermination. Then, He Ru hadn’t wanted to hide some secrets before killing all his cronies.

What is the secret He Rufei wants to hide?

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at Feinu: “Go and tell Luan Ying, I want to know the news from the beginning to the end of the Huayuan World War.”

Feinu took the order and left.

Xiao Jue leaned on the back of his chair and his eyes fell on the swaying tree branch in front of the window. He had been classmates with He Rufei for a year. He Rufei was…very stubborn, simple to almost stupid, and persistent. He was not surprised that He Rufei later became General Feihong. If a person insists on something, he will succeed no matter what he does. But Xiao Jue still doubted that He Rufei would personally kill the cronies he had followed for many years for a certain secret.

This is not like He Rufei in the past.

But… there is no absolute in everything, people’s hearts are changeable, maybe… He Rufei has already changed.

…

He Yan has been sitting by the Wulu River.

The night was already very deep. Since Lin Shuanghe learned from the mouth of the Huayuan battle, that He Ru’s non-confidants had all died in the battle, she left the crowd. There was no one beside the Wulu River. She could sit here and enjoy. Vent the emotions in your heart.

When she was a “He Rufei”, she was all the brothers who accompanied her to survive from the battlefield step by step. They lived and died together, and had a deeper friendship than others. He Yan originally thought that even if He Rufei was afraid of revealing his identity, the most common was that he would no longer lead soldiers to fight, or that he rarely saw deceased people when he was sick, but He Rufei was more vicious than she thought, and he did not stop. All those lieutenants will be obliterated.

What were they thinking before they died? Maybe someone has discovered that He Rufei is wrong, maybe no one has noticed it yet. Perhaps when they died, they did not expect to die in the hands of a general they trusted. How absurd and unreasonable that he did not die under the butcher knife of the enemy on the battlefield, but died in his own ugly and treacherous pouring!

With a “pop”, the whip slammed heavily on the boulder in front of him, smashing a corner of the stone. He Yan fiercely twitched the long whip in his hand, as if to utter all his grief and anger in his heart, and the voice rang far along the empty river bank.

I don’t know how long it took until the whip hit the boulder, and the Caisui hanging on the wooden handle was beaten like this and flew out. He Yan paused and took a breath. He looked at his hands. He didn’t feel it when he vented. At this moment, he saw that his hands were full of red marks, and he finally felt tired.

She put away the long whip around her waist and walked to Cai Sui, who was flung to the side. Half of Caisui was covered with river water, and the other end fell into the rock. He Yan leaned over to pick it up, and saw that the little pomegranate flower was broken in half.

He Yan stared straight at the pomegranate flower that had been smashed in half. For an instant, what appeared in his mind was the appearance of celebrating his achievements with his brothers in the barracks in the past, feeling sad, and sitting on the ground. , Burying his head in his arms, sobbed uncontrollably.

She seldom shed tears for herself, but now she can’t treat it as nothing happened. She didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. For a while, guilt, self-blame, sadness, and anger were intertwined, except for painful sobbing. It’s hard to have other thoughts.

In the wilderness, there is only a low wind, and the sound of the wind is also cool, which has been cooler than the snow in the desert.

Someone’s footsteps came.

At first it was only slight, but later, about a few steps away from her, he stopped, his cold voice almost blended with the night, his name was He Yan.

“He Yan.”

Before He Yan had time to put away his gorgeous tears, he raised his head subconsciously and turned to look around. The young man in brocade clothes and blue boots, plump and beautiful, staring at her with dazzling black eyes, his expression faint.

“…The governor.” He Yan stretched out his hand, wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately, and said nonchalantly: “Why did you come here?”

He didn’t speak, his eyes fell on He Yan’s palm. He Yan still held the talented Caisui in his hand, half of the Caisui was exposed outside.

After a while, Xiao Jue looked away and asked, “What are you crying?”

He Yan’s heart shrank. He wanted to find a place where no one could vent, but he never thought that Xiao Jue would come here. what is this? She couldn’t tell the truth, but Cai Sui in her hand reminded her. He Yan thought for a while, and said, “I…my ear is broken, and I am impatient for a while.” He Yan spreads out for fear that Xiao Jue will not believe it. In the palm of his hand, show him the jade pomegranate that was broken in half: “Look, it fell in half. I’m afraid it can’t be repaired.”

She was still dressed as a teenager, with red eyes. The last time I saw her like this, it was when Liu Buwang died. And He Yan was definitely not a person who would cry for a Caisui. For a moment, Lin Shuanghe’s previous words floated in Xiao Jue’s ears.

“My sister He is extremely inferior deep down in her heart. She loves Chu Zilan and can’t help it. If you say coldly to others, you are also a little girl, and you will inevitably be sad.”

Can’t love it?

Yes, as early as the last time Chu Zilan missed an appointment on Baiyue Mountain, he had already seen He Yan look upset.

He Yan saw that the youth in front of him walked in front of him and leaned over to look at her. His eyebrows were very beautiful, and he got very close, but he was inexplicably scared, and the other party’s voice was calm, and he said: “Just like that. I like it, no matter how sad I like it, I still have to persevere?”

He Yan’s eyes widened slightly.

What he said…what does this mean?

He stared at himself silently, his eyes like the night in the city, deep and shallow, clear and light.

I don’t know how long it took, Xiao Jue stood up straight, turned his back to her, and said quietly: “You are here, it will affect the Nanfu soldiers who are resting nearby.”

“go back.”

After saying this, he left without looking back. He Yan waited for him to leave, wiped his face with his sleeve, and stood up, then looked back at the river in the distance.

He can’t let He Rufei go on like this.

He Rufei has lost his reason, and will only get worse afterwards. There is not much time left for her, and she will stay in Liangzhouwei forever. I am afraid that it will not work.

Must return to Shuojing as soon as possible.

…

He Yan thought so in her heart, but before she could figure out how to return to Shuojing, someone wanted to leave before her, it was Chu Zhao.

On this day, the day training in the martial arts field was over, and He Yan had eaten and walked into the house by himself. She feels uncomfortable these days because of the war in Huayuan, and she seems to be struggling every day, and everyone doesn’t understand how she is. He Yan had the intention to continue to explore the news of He Rufei, but the news of He Rufei first reached Xiao Jue, followed by the coaches, and finally the recruits. However, General Feihong was far away in Huayuan, and he was training hard on weekdays, and he could not patronize the distance.

She walked back to her yard and saw a person sitting on the stone table in front of her door. At first, He Yan thought it was Xiao Jue, but in these few days, Xiao Jue went out early and returned late.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. His clothes are extremely thin and thin. Because of his thin figure and wide-sleeved shirt, he sits in the courtyard. Even the clean and simple courtyard is a little bit immortal. He Yan approached and said, “Brother Chu.”

“Brother He,” Chu Zhao stood up and said with a smile: “I’m here to find you, you are not here, just wait here. I thought you would return late at night, but fortunately, you came back early.”

“Why wait outside?” He Yan sat down on the stone bench. “There are mosquitoes everywhere in the summer. You are already thin and weak. If you feed the mosquitoes, there will be nothing left.”

Chu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and was amused by her words. He shook his head and took out a small sachet from his sleeve: “Thank you Brother He for your care, but there are mosquito repellent herbs here. I bring them to me. The mosquitoes are not close.”

The young master of the wealthy family is really a young master.

Chu Zhao put the sachet on the table and said, “Brother He, I’m looking for you, and I’m here to say goodbye to you again. I left in a hurry last time and left without saying goodbye. This time, I will be a few thoughtful gifts.”

“Farewell?” He Yan was not too surprised. Chu Zhao staying in Liangzhouwei was not a long-term solution. Liangzhouwei’s people are training hard every day. Even if Chu Zhao is a spy or looking for trouble, he doesn’t get anything here every day. This place is bitterly cold, and the young master who is rich in clothes and food does not need to suffer here, and sooner or later he will return to Shuojing.

Chu Zhao nodded, “Brother He should already know about the war in Huayuan?”

Unexpectedly, he would bring up the matter of Hua Yuan, He Yan was taken aback, and then replied: “Yes.”

“The Utuo people have already planned to take action against Dawei, and the capital is unsuccessful. Not only me, but I think that soon after coming, Governor Xiao will return to Shuojing. Now the Utuo people are still in Huayuan, and they have never travelled to the north of Huayuan. I You have to go ahead. After the Utuo go north, the road will not be easy. I am afraid it will not be easy to return to Shuojing.” Chu Zhao smiled, “Besides, I stayed in Liangzhouwei. I originally planned to do it. I left after the Jiyang incident was over. Now that you have sealed Wu Anlang, I have nothing to worry about.”

This is a pleasant one, as if he had stayed in Liangzhouwei specially for He Yan. He Yan said, “Brother Chu’s kindness is indebted. I am grateful for my return to Beijing this time.”

The handsome young man smiled softly and stared at himself deeply without saying a word.

He Yan touched his face: “…Is there anything on my face?”

Chu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head a moment later and said, “In fact, apart from bidding farewell to Brother He, there is one more thing I want to discuss with Brother He today.”

He Yan asked: “What?”

“Brother He…” He slowly said, “Would you like to walk with me and return to Shuojing together?”

Quiet all around.

After a long while, He Yan said: “Brother Chu, stop joking, how can I leave with him?”

“Although Brother He is still a member of Liangzhou Guards, it really boils down to his Majesty’s Wu Anlang. It can be controlled by Governor Xiao, but it is not a soldier under Governor Xiao. I have your Majesty’s handwritten instructions to be able to get from Liangzhou Guards. Select the recruits to be escorted as guards. If Brother He is willing, he can walk with me without worrying about your majesty’s blame.”

Before He Yan could speak, he said again, “I know Brother He’s concerns, and I’m afraid that Dudu Xiao’s heart will not be happy. But Brother He, Liangzhou is already bitter cold, you are a…young man, in such a bitter cold place. , It’s difficult. One step early and one step later, sooner or later, you have to go back to Shuojing. Since you are committed to making a contribution, go back to Shuojing with me, and I will let you meet the Holy Spirit. There is more than one way to make a good deed, especially, The path you chose earlier is really slow.”

Chu Zhao has always been very good at talking and pointed at people’s weaknesses. If everyone knows that He Yan wants to make a contribution, he puts out very tempting conditions.

But He Yan didn’t want to go with Chu Zhao, she didn’t trust Chu Zhao.

“I have no plans to leave Liangzhouwei.” He Yan smiled and refused, “I don’t think I have the ability to make contributions now.”

Chu Zhao stared into her eyes and spoke slowly, “You don’t want to leave Liangzhouwei. It shouldn’t be the reason, right?”

He Yan was startled, the other party’s eyes were smiling, as if he could see through everything. When his mind was caught, he was not as embarrassed as when Lin Shuanghe discovered it, but was uncomfortable.

Chu Zhao’s sense of proportion is too low.

In fact, He Yan’s words are a bit over, Chu Zhao is gentle and gentle, and it is like a spring breeze, like an ordinary woman being so attracted by him, not to intercede with deep roots, but will gradually let go of defense. However, what Chuzhao first met was He Yan. He Yan looked straightforward and righteous on the surface, but deep down in his heart, he was not a person who easily trusted others. Especially the recent incidents of He Rufei made her more sensitive. Therefore, as long as Chu Zhao got closer, he became vigilant all over.

The wind blew, the branches on his head were slightly shaken, and a leaf was blown off, swayed, and fell on He Yan’s hair.

“You are really,” Chu Zhao still had a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, and he leaned forward with one hand, as if to brush the fallen leaves off He Yan’s head, his voice was also bewitching, “Think about whether you want to leave Liangzhou or not. Is it guarded?”

He Yan: “I…”

Before the voice fell, a cold voice came in: “You didn’t hear it, did she say she didn’t want it?”

He Yan looked back, but after seeing the courtyard, Xiao Jue came over. He didn’t know how long he had been standing here, how much he had heard, in the night full of the courtyard, his tall and tall Qingjun, with the chill of the night, walked to He Yan’s side.

This is… I got caught by digging the foot of the wall? He Yan kept complaining about how bad things like this happened recently, and every time he met Xiao Jue, the misunderstanding would only get deeper and deeper. She stepped back behind Xiao Jue and coughed lightly: “The governor, the fourth son of Chu is here to say goodbye to me. As for traveling together, it’s just a joke. How could I leave Liangzhouwei? Impossible.”

Xiao Jue glanced at her expressionlessly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hit her on the head. He Yan was startled. The next moment, his fingertips fell on the leaf on top of He Yan’s head, and he lightly touched it. Flick, the leaves fall to the ground.

He Yan stared at the fallen leaf on the ground, slandering in his heart. He wanted to sweep the leaves for her? Even sweeping a leaf was so murderous, it seemed that Xiao Jue would be particularly angry as long as she saw her staying with Chu Zhao.

Fortunately, Chu Zhao was about to leave Liangzhouwei, and He Yan was thankful that there would be no such misunderstandings in the future.

“Go in.” Xiao Jue said: “I have something to say to the Fourth Young Master Chu.”

He Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Jue’s face. Although he was angry, his expression was also light. This person was calm at all times, and he should be angry and couldn’t do anything to beat Chu Zhao. He Yan didn’t want to speak for Chu Zhao, but from the teaching she had received, people like her and Xiao Jue would beat Chu Zhao, which was called bullying.

Bullying the weak is always wrong.

He Yan cautiously said, “Is there anything I can’t say in front of me? I promise not to say it.”

If Xiao Jue couldn’t control her violence and hurt others, she could still stop him.

Xiao Jue tilted his head and glanced at her lightly. With this look, He Yan had no words to discourage him. She coughed lightly: “Then I will go in first, you speak slowly, and you must be calm. Fourth Young Master Chu, I’m leaving.”

Chu Zhao was not angry. He just smiled and picked up the sachet on the table and handed it to He Yan: “Give this to Brother He, I have a lot more. Brother He wears it on his body, so he won’t be afraid of mosquitoes at night.”

Reaching out his hand and not hitting the smiling face, in Xiao Jue’s gaze, He Yan didn’t know what courage he took to take it over. She said in her heart, that’s it, just this time, anyway, there will be no such opportunities in the future.

After He Yan left, Xiao Jue sat down on the stone bench that He Yan had just sat on.

He did not speak, but looked at Chu Zhao lightly.

Chu Zhao’s gentle smile gradually dissipated, and after a while, he slowly said, “The superintendent Xiao is very tight.”

Xiao Jue laughed instead when he heard the words. He was lazy, with sharp eyes in his dark pupils, and he casually said, “This is what the Fourth Young Master Chu said, you admit that you have the meaning of grabbing?”

“Why use the word rob?” Chu Zhao’s gaze faded for the first time, like a beast with its minions, cold and vicious, “She is your subordinate, not your woman.”

“At least,” the young man curled his lips. “It’s mine.”

Chu Zhao was noncommittal: “It’s just now, how can Governor Xiao guarantee that in the future,’your’ will not become’mine’?”

“If you don’t want to die,” the young governor said with a delicate face in the dark, a sneer floating on the corner of his mouth, “You can just give it a try.”
