Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 181

Chapter 181

He Yan looked at Yan He blankly, his mind was blank. At this moment, he didn’t know what kind of answer he should respond. There was only one thought that came up again and again in my heart.

How can it be?

How can this be?

“No…impossible.” He Yan tried to make his expression look relaxed, “Duke Xiao is not such a warmhearted person.”

“I knew you would react like this,” Yan He was a little impatient. “So I didn’t bother to mention this to people all these years, and no one would believe it anyway.”

“However, I can swear by my Yan He’s head on this matter. It is true that when we were studying in the academy, Xiao Huaijin, the lunatic, would write notes to He Rufei every day to teach swordsmanship.” He seemed to be. Thinking of the past, there is still an unthinkable in his eyes, “Every day, it is simply terrible.”

At that time, he was still young. Before Xiao Huaijin went down the mountain, Yan He took the first place in Xianchang Pavilion. After Xiao Huaijin entered Xianchang Pavilion, he could only be second.

This feeling is actually very annoying. Either you have never been the first, always second, or be the first and always be the first, but before the first, then the second, and never surpassed, this actually hurts people’s confidence and makes others think , He Yanhe is no match for Xiao Jue.

They are all the pride of the sky, and whoever really obeys others, Yan He can’t wait for six hours a day to study hard, and the other six hours to compete with Xiao Jue. After all, there will be gains in every competition. It’s a pity that this second son Xiao is not a patient person, and he can ignore even his husband’s words. He is even more completely ignored.

Yan He challenged him ten times eight times, and Xiao Jue could respond once, even if he was in a good mood. Yan He was also arrogant, but he was still slightly inferior to Xiao Jue’s flat and calm indifference.

He was really mad at Xiao Jue.

Therefore, when Yanhe was a teenager, he had no worries about food and clothing, and the only adversity was Xiao Jue. At that time, he believed that his wish in this life was to defeat Xiao Jue.

In Xianchang Pavilion, the competition for first and second is so fierce, and there is no shortage of people to pursue the position of first and second from the bottom, such as…Lin Shuanghe and He Rufei.

Fortunately, Lin Shuanghe, as a descendant of the imperial physician family, he originally did not intend to do this, and it would be fine if he did not succeed in civil and martial arts. However, the eldest young master of the He family is very strange, He Rufei is extraordinarily diligent and serious, even if his progress is small, he still has to try every possibility. For this kind of person, Yan He at best just looked down, not annoying. A genius like him always looks at mediocre people, and always takes a bit of superiority.

However, something changed Yan He’s view.

He found out about He Rufei practicing swords at night. Rather than saying that Yan He is chasing He Rufei’s footsteps, it is better to say that he is paying attention to Xiao Jue’s every move. One night, Yanhe saw Xiao Jue sitting in the backyard watching He Rufei practicing swordsmanship. He thought about it for a long time with his clever head, but he didn’t think about the truth.

Xiao Jue, what is this? Can’t sleep to come out to watch the show? Or does he think such a clumsy He Rufei can make him laugh? But in this case, it will only take two days a day, every day. No wonder he always sleeps in the academy during the day, because he didn’t sleep at all at night?

Xiao Jue accompanies He Rufei to practice swords at night, but he doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t do anything, he just drinks tea. He Rufei is also a good temperament, he is watched by people like monkeys, he does not get angry and does it tirelessly. Own business.

But Yan He didn’t know what kind of mood he was, and he followed out every day, secretly peeping, only thinking that Xiao Jue must be making some ideas, and it would never be possible to do such useless things. Later, Yan He looked back at her back then, only to feel that she couldn’t bear to look directly at them. If anyone else looked at them in the backyard back then, he would probably think that there were three lunatics in Xianchang Pavilion.

But at that time, Yan He had only one idea. He wanted to see what Xiao Jue was doing, but he really found out the clues.

He Rufei’s swordsmanship is improving day by day.

This is a bit strange. He Rufei is in the academy, and the husband who teaches him is also very good, but he doesn’t necessarily improve so fast. And He Rufei, who practiced swords at night, was able to get rid of the problems that were particularly obvious the day before, and his swordsmanship had really taken a big leap from the beginning.

Yan He never believed that He Rufei had such a spirituality. After thinking for a long time, he caught Xiao Jue who was putting a note on He Rufei’s desk.

He opened the letter paper, and it was densely written with loopholes in swordsmanship last night and areas for improvement. Yan He said sourly, “You are more careful than the gentleman in the academy.”

Xiao Jue looked at him coldly, and said calmly: “You follow me every day, do you want to be with those women outside?”

Those women outside are all Xiao Jue’s admirers. If they are fine, they occasionally “pass by” the academy. After all, Xiao Jue has a pretty face like Shuojing, and the indifferent and weary appearance is really charming, too many to be fascinated. People who live.

Yan He threw the paper on the table and looked at him disgustedly: “Who is like those women?”

Xiao Jue turned around to leave, and Yan He hurriedly followed out. Not reconciled in his heart, he said: “You accompany him to practice swords in the yard every night, just to teach him swordsmanship?”

“You follow me every night, just to see me teach him swordsmanship?” Xiao Jue answered without pain or itching.

“You are crazy!” Yan He said incredulously: “You were wasting your time for that kind of person!”

Although he didn’t like Xiao Jue, he had to admit that Xiao Jue had different talents. Just as he wholeheartedly regards Xiao Jue as an opponent, in Yan He’s mind, Xiao Jue should also regard himself as an opponent, and practice diligently every day to maintain his number one position. But now it seems that instead of diligence, he didn’t take himself to heart. Instead, he ran to see the penultimate swordsman to teach him swordsmanship every day? Yan He couldn’t understand it and felt angry. Doesn’t that mean that in Xiao Jue’s heart, he is not as good as a punch of He Rufei?

what is this!

“Hey, are you listening to me!” Seeing Xiao Jue ignored him, Yan He was anxious, and walked around to Xiao Jue, “Why are you wasting time for that kind of waste?”

“Really?” Xiao Jue’s beautiful eyes glanced at him, walked up the rockery, found a place to lie down, put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and slumbered, “I don’t think.”

What don’t you think? Don’t you think he is trash?

“You…” Yan He said angrily: “You give him advice every day, and he has only improved so much. With so many people in Xianchang Hall, why did you choose He Rufei? You want to try to count down. Is the first teacher to the first to be satisfied? Then I tell you, give up as soon as possible! With He Rufei’s qualifications, it is simply impossible.”

Xiao Jue: “I’m not that boring.”

His irrelevant attitude made Yan He even more angry. He turned and walked out, “I’m going to tell He Rufei, let him not take you. With the first guidance of Xianchang Hall, it is really laughable to practice like this!”

Xiao Jue’s lazy voice came from behind: “Competition.”

Yanhe stopped: “What?”

“If you come to me for a test in the future, you should answer it three times.” He didn’t open his eyes, his eyelashes were hanging down, his skin was like jade, leaning against the rockery and dozing, just like the handsome young man in the picture, “The condition is Keep it secret.”

Yanhe stood there, tangled in his heart, and finally couldn’t help Xiao Jue agreeing to the temptation to compete with him, gritted his teeth and said: “twice.”

“make a deal.”

The sunshine was hot in the yard, Yan He sighed, and said: “In this way, as the price of exchange, I will keep it secret for him and will not tell He Rufei.”

Even though many years have passed, Yan He talked about the matter again, still frustrated. If He Ru hadn’t gotten Xiao Jue’s swordsmanship by leaps and bounds, he wouldn’t be considered a genius. In Yan He’s view, it would be a waste of Xiao Jue’s careful teaching. But Xiao Jue was so patient with He Rufei that he couldn’t add any more. He obviously declined his own test in every possible way, and he gave He Rufei a dedicated guide every day.

Yanhe didn’t know where his injustice and jealousy came from.

It’s probably that people who can’t understand the mediocre aptitude have got the guidance of a famous teacher, and it even ruined the anger of the famous teacher.

“Later, he did nominate the name by himself,” Yan He hummed: “But in my opinion, if it was me, I would get advice from Xiao Huaijin, which is definitely more than that. I thought he was worthy of teaching, but I didn’t expect it. This time the Huayuan battle is really nothing to say. He is still the same as before. I think the name of General Feihong has been left as soon as possible, so that people will not be jokes.”

“Boy,” Yan He raised his eyes to look at the people around him, “Why don’t you speak?”

He Yan was startled, her eyes dizzy as the sun was shining, she was surprised by Yan He’s words or something, she murmured: “I’m just… very surprised.”

“It’s more than surprised. At the beginning, I thought Xiao Huaijin was crazy.” Yan He sarcastically said: “And it stands to reason that He Rufei has taken on Xiao Huaijin’s personal affection. I thought they had a good relationship. I didn’t expect this. It seems that for several years, the two of them are not very close. This time it was difficult to run, Huayuan was so close to Rundu, Xiao Huaijin wrote to me without looking for He Rufei? It seems that Xiao Huaijin has been doing this all the time. It’s kept secret until now, and He Rufei doesn’t know until now. But I’m not sure, after all, that happened many years ago. The two of them now have equal reputations, and it’s natural for He Rufei to become arguing.”

Yan He really seized the opportunity to smear He Rufei to death, but He Yan doesn’t care about him now, and his eyes are full of… Back then, Xiao Jue’s swordsmanship was secretly instructed by Xiao Jue?

She always thought that it was a kind gentleman at Hyun Chang Hall who secretly taught her when she saw that she was not good at swordsmanship. She has always been very grateful for this. If it hadn’t been for the He family’s accident that she had left home to join the army, she would have been able to see who that gentleman was with her own eyes. It has always been a regret in He Yan’s heart that she could not thank him well.

At the moment, he learned the incredible truth from Yan He’s mouth. It was Xiao Jue?

If it is Xiao Jue, everything makes sense. He was not inferior to the husband in Xianchang Hall. He Yan never thought about Xiao Jue, but because of Xiao Jue’s temperament, he is really not a helpful person, not to mention his relationship with him is not close.

It turned out that he came to the backyard every night to watch his sword practice and drink tea, not for recreation…but to guide her to make progress.

He Yan took a deep breath. How could she find out now?

“What’s your expression?” Yan He frowned. “It seems to be very excited?”

“I…” He Yan coughed lightly and said, “I just think that Governor Xiao is really a good person.”

“What a good person, I think he is sick. This person is strong in everything in the academy. Who can tell that his eyesight is so bad.” Yan He patted the dust on his body and stood up, grabbing Fang Tianji on one side. , “Speaking of He Rufei, I’m not happy, nothing more, I want to continue practicing halberd, what are you doing?”

He Yan’s thoughts were chaotic right now, so naturally he didn’t have the mind to watch this person behave in front of him.

He Yan turned and left.

…

The sky gradually darkened.

When Xiao Jue came out of the hall, Li Kuang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Because of Qiluo’s affairs, he had no face to see He Yan, and when he saw He Yan, he felt nervous and jealous. He thought it would be better to talk to Xiao Jue, but this right army captain was compared to Wu Anlang, who was still a teenager. , It is even more difficult to parry.

He inquired carefully about everything that happened to Rundu these days, including the previous incident of putting grassmen on the tower and attacking the enemy’s camp at night to burn food and grass. Li Kuang didn’t take the credit, and he got rid of He Yan’s idea. As for the captured women and Qi Luo, Xiao Jue had already seen it at the time. When Li Kuang repeated it again, the young governor did not look as excited as He Yan, but looked quite calm, but the calm fell on that point. In Li Kuang’s eyes, it made him feel even more on pins and needles.

Questioning the affairs of Jiang Rundu clearly, Li Kuang also knew that their group would leave for Shuojing in a few days. In Li Kuang’s heart, he breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the trouble of Rundu was solved. Yanhe will leave some soldiers and horses here, but those utopians dare not come again if they want to come.

The city was finally held, but… but it was not held either.

Li Kuang understands one thing very well, he has lost the hearts of the people.

The general soldier in this city won’t sit for long.

The tall and burly man sat alone in the house for a long while, buried his hands in his palms, and shed tears silently.

This is the punishment he deserves.

…

The night in Rundu was very cool.

The flames in the day faded away at night, but because of the famine in the city, the grass and trees disappeared, showing a kind of depression that can only be seen in autumn.

Yin Qiu put it on the table, Xiao Jue turned around and just took off his outer clothes. He heard a knock on the door outside, and he was polite and respectful.

He paused, “Go in.”

The door opened, and He Yan stood at the door, looking at him and asked: “Captain, can I come in?”

When he was in Liangzhouwei, this person never knocked on the door. When he wanted to find someone, he even didn’t leave the door to save trouble. Knocked at the middle door a few times, regardless of whether someone on the other side agreed, Quandang had already greeted him, so he picked the lock on the slippery door, and then a head came out from behind the door, hanging on the surface. With a bright smile, he said in a round tone: “The Governor!”

Now that I have stayed in Rundu for more than a month, he has become such a well-behaved shouli, but in this shouli, there is still a trace of imperceptible politeness.

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, put the outer clothes in place, and said calmly: “What’s the matter?”

He didn’t answer her “Can you please?” He Yan would come in by himself anyway. Sure enough, after being well-behaved, He Yan walked in naturally and closed the door.

Looking at the luxury in the room, Rundu now lives on the grain and grass brought by Yanhe, and naturally there is no tea. Xiao Jue picked up the white jade porcelain pot on the table and poured water into the teacup. He Yan walked over and said, “I’ll do it.”

She took the teapot in Xiao Jue’s hand.

Xiao Jue didn’t refuse. When he moved, he accidentally touched her finger. He Yan’s heart trembled slightly. He raised his head and looked at the other person. However, this person lowered his eyes and couldn’t see what his expression was. He Yan pretended to be fine, walked to the other side of the table, and poured water slowly.

My dear of the skin, and Xiao Jue had already broken through an unknown number of cases. It’s just that she was in Liangzhou Wei before, after all, she tried her best to ignore the many inconveniences. It’s just that now, she already knows a lot of things, and she also understands her intentions for Xiao Jue. The so-called lack of desire is strong, and if there is a ghost in her heart, she is so uncomfortable.

She scolded herself in her heart and fainted, and she spoke calmly as much as possible, “The Governor, today Brother Lin said, in a few days, we will return to Shuojing together.”

Xiao Jue sat down at the table, “You don’t want to go back?”

“No.” She originally planned to return to Shuojing, “It’s just that your Majesty suddenly called you back to Shuojing? And General Yan? All back to Shuojing, wouldn’t it be dangerous to go outside?”

These Utopians looked at them, even if the emperor was worried about Shuojing’s safety, he did not have to recall all of Wei’s warlords. In case the Utopians come back at this time, although the possibility is unlikely, they can’t help but prevent them.

“I’ll know when I go back.” Xiao Jue did not directly answer her question.

Also, before I go back, it’s not good to argue. It’s just that she came over now, it wasn’t really because of it. I just want to find a reason to open the conversation first.

The teacup handed one cup to Xiao Jue, and the other cup was in his own hands. Holding the warm tea in her palms, the girl lowered her head and took a sip. After a while, she raised her head as if she had nothing to say, “The Governor, I met General Yan in the day.”

Xiao Jue let out an “um” and looked down at the book. His attitude for the past few days was very strange, saying that he was indifferent, but calmly called gentle. He said it was gentle, but he didn’t take the initiative to talk to He Yan…Of course, he didn’t take the initiative to trouble He Yan.

He Yan didn’t quite understand this subtle sense of distance.

“General Yan seems to dislike General Feihong very much,” no one spoke up, and He Yan could only bite the bullet and continued. “I sat with him for a while and heard him speak before I knew that Dudu, General Feihong, and General Yan were the same. It’s a classmate!”

Her pretentious tone made Xiao Jue pause, and then said after a moment: “You stay away from him.”

It’s good to be able to speak. He Yan pushed the tea cup forward and looked at him, “I asked General Yan why he hated Young Master He Da, and General Yan told me…” She deliberately prolonged her voice and looked at him. Xiao Jue’s reaction, “Because the Governor gave General Feihong advice on swordsmanship every night, General Yan was jealous and hated it for so many years.” He Yan raised his cheek and asked with a puzzled look: “So the Governor, in fact, you Do you like General Feihong?”

She looked like a curious subordinate who was listening to the story of her boss, but her heart was beating very quickly. Even though Yan He said so, He Yan still wanted to verify it personally. He didn’t know if what Yan He said was true or not, nor did he know why Xiao Jue did it.

Xiao Jue closed the book and looked at her calmly: “I am not a broken sleeve.”

“I didn’t say that you had broken sleeves.” He Yan said: “I mean, do you admire General Feihong? So secretly help? Is it really you who instructed her swordsmanship every night?”

Xiao Jue didn’t say a word. With his temperament, this was acquiescence.

He Yan sat up straight, unspeakably feeling at this moment in her heart. After a while, she asked, “Why do you want to point him.”

Xiao Jue raised his eyes and looked at her: “What do you do with this?”

He Yan lowered his head and concealed the emotions in his eyes, “It’s just that it’s not worth it for you. I heard from General Yan. When He Da Young Master was in Xianchang Hall, his schoolwork was not very good, and his civil and martial arts were very ordinary. I don’t know if the governor is. How to pick him and give him sword skills? And did so much, but didn’t tell Young Master He Da? Does Young Master He Da still don’t know that you were the one who helped him back then? You…you do this, no Do you think it’s not a good deal?”

“Whatever you do, you don’t need to worry about it.” Xiao Jue said calmly: “Do you know what?”

He Yan stared at him straightforwardly, saying, it’s something to do. If you knew it was him… if you knew it was him, maybe that little girl’s beautiful thoughts would extend longer, maybe when Xu Zhiheng appeared, she too Will not fall into it all. She had been alone for too long, and it was obviously Xiao Jue who appeared first…but it was too late for her heart.

As if he noticed the strange expression in her expression, Xiao Jue paused and frowned, “You…”

“It’s a pity for me to be the governor too much,” He Yan raised a smile, “It is this young master He Da, even if the governor hides your merits and fame, and you don’t want to know it. Silently helping your kindhearted people, the young master He Da does not Do you know how to check it? Just let it go, he should have found you earlier. He can have his current reputation, and the governor has also played a part in it.”

She was so anxious, Xiao Jue looked at her thoughtfully, and suddenly bent her lips: “Actually, he tried to find me too.”

He Yan was startled.

Under the light, his face was quiet and handsome, as if recalling the scenes of the past, his beautiful black eyes were deep, with ripples at the beginning, almost drowning.

Xiao Jue actually saw He Rufei looking for someone with no head and no brain. The conversations written on the slip of paper expressed his gratitude to him every time. He was sincere and awkward, clumsy, and even tried to catch him once. he.

But how can you catch it? He sat on the tree and watched He Rufei walk by under the tree. Although he was wearing a mask, he could still imagine the dejection of this man, which was inexplicably pitiful.

He finally let go, and promised to let He Rufei look at himself. Although the results may not be very happy.

“One time he made an appointment with me to meet at the academy.”

“What happened later? Did you meet her?”

The handsome man lowered his head and whispered, “I’m going.”

“But he didn’t come that night.”
