Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 199

Chapter 199

The night shrouded the wilderness.

In the thatched house, someone was hiding in the corner of the wall, his lips squirming, not knowing what he was talking about.

“Master, I have found it. Xu Jingfu’s men are chasing them down. The brothers are already a little delirious now. They may want to take them back to the city and let Young Master Lin take a look.” Luan Ying stood beside Xiao Jue and whispered. road.

This is the person who survived the Battle of Narumizu.

In the Battle of Mingshui, the soldiers led by Xiao Zhongwu were almost wiped out. Among the lieutenants, except for Chai Anxi, none of them survived. And the living soldiers have died one after another over the years. As for how they died and whether they were strange or not, no one cared anymore. It has been five years since the Battle of Mingshui. Perhaps in this world, except for Xiao Zhongwu’s son, no one would care about the sinister conspiracy hidden in that famous defeat by the dead General Guangwu.

“There is no other way?” Xiao Jue frowned, “I’m afraid they won’t be able to return to the city like this.”

“When I came out in a hurry, I only brought trauma medicines. There was no such thing as a pure heart and concentration.” Luan Ying shook her head. “Xu Jingfu’s people chased them for seven days and seven nights. They were both sleepless, so they couldn’t bear it.”

Of course, wheel warfare is exhausting, especially such a chase wheel warfare. Xiao Jue thought for a while, and removed a sachet from his waist. It was the sachet made by Bai Rongwei that He Yan had handed over to him earlier. He squeezed the bag and pulled open the rope, which contained a tiny safety charm and some herbs. He Yan said, this is concentrating.

Xiao Jue poured out the medicinal herb and handed it to Luan Ying, “Take it to them and give them a sniff. I won’t leave tonight. Change a place and let them rest for the night.”

Luan’s shadow responded.

It has been so long since the case of Xu Jingfu and Mingshui was traced, and now it is not easy to find two witnesses who are still alive. But this also shows that Xiao Jue’s ability over the years has gradually grown to the point where it can compete with Xu Jingfu. For example, this time he grabbed people and he won.

You can’t stay here for a long time, you have to change a place. After finding a house outside the city, everyone settled down together with the pair of unconscious brothers.

Chiwu and Feinu stood at the door of the brothers to prevent accidents at night. Luan Ying went out to inquire about the news. The night in the suburbs is always particularly deserted. Especially in the autumn, when there is a rare crowd more than a dozen miles away, the moon is white and bright, shining in the empty wilderness, like flowing silver water, it is a bit desolate.

He actually doesn’t like Mid-Autumn Festival. For him, Mid-Autumn Festival always reminded him of bad memories in the past. The more perfect the moon is, the more lonely people appear. At this time of the year, he always had trouble falling asleep. In previous years, he was in the barracks and he was able to read official documents for half a night. Now he is back in Shuojing, where he really can’t do anything.

Xiao Jue lowered his head and looked at the sachet in his hand. The medicinal herb in the sachet was hollowed out, and there was only a flat layer, a small safety talisman. After thinking about it, he opened the sachet and planned to re-insert the safety talisman.

Although it was embroidered by the maidservant of the Xiao family, the silk materials and patterns were personally selected by Bai Rongwei. Bai Rongwei is always very persistent in this matter, and the sachet is particularly delicate. The fingers were stroked, and the silk was as cold as moonlight.

Xiao Jue’s gaze paused slightly, and the next moment, his fingertips ran across the inside of the sachet, and he felt a rough bump. This bulge on the flat satin surface looks very different. He looked down and turned the sachet over.

The inner side appeared in front of Xiao Jue.

The inside of this sachet is embroidered with two layers. It is double-layer embroidery. The inner fabric strip is ordinary black and has no pattern. However, at the moment, the inner cloth is embroidered with a crooked, bright yellow corner, which is not visible. What it is, but I can see that the craftsmanship of the embroiderer is really not flattering, and the thread ends are not cut clean.

How should I put it, the black python on the outside of the sachet and the yellow horn inside the sachet are really not like things that appear on the same work.

what is this? Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows, and Bai Rongwei’s craftsmanship was much better than this. If Xiao Clan’s maidservants were made like this, it would be a bit scary to say it. This sachet was given to him by He Yan. The entire Xiao family could make embroidery into such a shape. There should be no one else except Miss He Da.

He played with this sachet over and over again, trying to find traces of other things that He Yan embroidered, but no, except for this yellow horn, she didn’t embroider anything.

The corner of Xiao Jue’s mouth twitched.

Is this training with his sachet? He still practiced so sneaky and silently, if he hadn’t taken the herbs inside to open the sachet, I’m afraid he would never discover the secret in his entire life. But what is the point of doing this? If you really want to practice your hands, you can find a white veil to embroider endlessly, hiding in it, and always feel that there is a deep meaning he doesn’t understand.

At this moment, people’s footsteps came again in the wilderness. A twelve or three-year-old half-year-old boy walked up to him and smiled at him and said, “Master!”

This child is Luanying’s son, named Baiyu. The eyebrows are handsome, and they look very similar to Luan Ying, but at a young age, there is some flesh on the cheeks, which makes them look a little honest and cute. Unlike Luan Ying’s cold and frosty temperament, the white pheasant is like all teenagers of this age, innocent and even a little bit ridiculous.

He likes Xiao Jue very much. No matter how many times Luanying warns him to distinguish between superiors and inferiority and not to be presumptuous, the white pheasant can’t remember it. Xiao Jue doesn’t care about these things. Jue, will stick to it by any means.

The white pheasant saw the sachet in Xiao Jue’s hand at a glance. His eyes were so good that in the night, he could see the embroidery on the inner cloth clearly, and blurted out: “Huh? This moon embroidered is really beautiful!”

“…Moon?” Xiao Jue was taken aback.

The white pheasant replied confidently, “Master, look, it’s yellow and curved, it’s the moon!” He leaned a little closer, paddling his toes to observe the embroidery pattern in Xiao Jue’s hand, and praised: “This is The black interlining represents the night. The moon is embroidered on it. It is the moon in the night. It represents the young master. You are the moon in the night, dazzling and dazzling!” The child said with a vigorous, whispered mystery. Xi asked, “Master, is this a girl for you?”

Xiao Jue: “…”

He was a little uncomfortable and took back the sachet, “No.”

“How could it not be?” The white pheasant was puzzled, “If it weren’t for a girl, how could a man embroider such exquisite embroidery?”

Xiao Jue once doubted whether the white pheasant was He Yan’s younger brother, and their evaluation of “beauty” was really the same.

The white pheasant had to ask again, and suddenly a voice blew out behind him, “White pheasant!”

The white pheasant was so scared that he hid behind Xiao Jue, “Mother… I just happened to see the young master when I came out to go to the toilet.”

Luanying took his ears and pulled him out from behind Xiao Jue, “How many times have you said not to disturb the young master, why is this kid not sensible? Master, sorry, I will take the kid back!”

Luan Yingti slipped back with the white pheasant, and Xiao Jue was left alone beside the wilderness.

The moonlight shone in the black field, and the soil was stained with hoarfrost, like the snow on the Weijiang River in Liangzhou, pouring into the cold for a while.

Ruthless Mingyue, sentimental return to the dream, he curled his lips, turned to leave, suddenly he paused, as if thinking of something, suddenly raised his eyes.

In my memory, among the lively and laughing crowd, on the high platform, there was a girl’s face hidden under the mask, and one and the other said silly things.

“The last secret,” she stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his chin, and said softly, “I like the moon.”

“The moon doesn’t know.”

…

The day of entering the palace soon arrived.

Xiao Jing and Bai Rongwei also entered the palace together. They were a little surprised when they learned that He Yan was not with them, but with Lin Shuanghe, but they were very considerate of people, and did not ask much, waiting for Lin Shuanghe. When the carriage came, he sent He Yan into the carriage and asked to see you in the palace.

Lin Shuanghe sat in the carriage, shook his fan and said, “Huai Jin probably is afraid that you and Brother Rubi will not be able to go together. We are all old friends, and we can get along more easily.” He looked at He again. Yan sighed, “Huaijin’s failure to rush back today is really his loss. Our sister He wears this gorgeous men’s clothing, and she is also very heroic. If you enter the palace with me, today’s civil and military officials will never be able to People can take away the light of you and me.”

He Yan thought about other things and dealt with it perfunctorily. Seeing this, Lin Shuanghe thought she was nervous about entering the palace, and comforted him: “Don’t be afraid, Sister He, a promising brother is here. I am very familiar in the palace. You can walk sideways, as long as you don’t kill or set people on fire, you can find it. My grandfather settled.”

He had probably done a good job of cheating his father and grandfather, so he took He Yan with him.

The carriage sprinted all the way, and I don’t know how long it had passed before it finally reached the gate of the palace. The guards in front of the palace were already familiar with Lin Shuanghe’s carriage. Lin Shuanghe and He Yan got out of the carriage and walked in with the palace attendants who led the way.

This is the first time He Yan has entered the palace.

If it were this time in the previous life, she should be nervous, because she could see the emperor and be rewarded. But once she died, she knew that the so-called future and wealth are like clouds. She is entering the palace now, not for the future, but for the account of the previous life.

Bypassing the promenade garden in the palace, and walking through the front hall, the monarch’s palace banquet this time was nothing but a celebration. The people who came were all people with faces and faces in the court, such as Lin Shuanghe, who could also get in because of Lin Qingtan and Lin Mu’s relationship.

In the front hall, a lot of people have already arrived. He Yan took a look, but did not see the shadow of Xiao Jing and his wife. Lin Shuanghe said in a low voice, “We are taking a short road. It’s okay, Brother He, I’ve been following you all the time, and when someone comes to say hello, I’ll say your name so that you can get to know some people.”

As soon as the voice fell, there was humanity: “Lin Shuanghe!”

But this person was not the one who came to meet He Yan, because this person was Yan He. Yan He was wearing his official gown, and the woman standing beside her was beautiful and gentle. Her appearance was not so stunning, but she was very attractive. She leaned from Lin Shuanghe, “Master Lin.”

This is Yan He’s wife, Xia Chengxiu.

Yan He does everything he wants. Under the eyes of everyone, he clasps Xia Chengxiu’s shoulders and swears to He Yan, “Chengxiu, this is what I told you, and I hate He Rufei’s confidant as much as I do. But now it is Xiao Huaijin. People,” he looked at He Yan, “Do you want to do things with me?”

Before He Yan could speak, Lin Shuanghe waved his hand awe-inspiringly, “No! Of course this kind of thing has to be done in one go. How can someone change in the middle?”

Yan He is inexplicable: “This has to be the end?”

“Could it be that in your heart is such a person facing Qin Muchu?” Lin Shuanghe looked at Xia Chengxiu, “Sister-in-law, I am worried for you.”

Xia Chengxiu: “…”

Yan He was furious: “Lin Shuanghe, shut up, is there anyone who instigates discord like this?”

Lin Shuanghe: “You know it.”

Yan He scolded Xia Chengxiu and left, Lin Shuanghe breathed a sigh of relief. Turning his head, he was about to ask He Yan, but he saw He Yan staring in one direction blankly. Lin Shuanghe followed her gaze and saw that someone was talking not far away. Standing in the middle was a young man in a long robe, Sven Qingjun, no stranger, this was Xu Zhiheng, a scholar of Hanlin.

Lin Shuanghe was a little puzzled, He Yan stared straightly, thinking that she fell in love with Xu Zhiheng, who didn’t know. However, Xu Zhiheng already has a wife, and Chu Zhao is also not bad when it comes to being gentle and handsome. Compared to Chu Zhao, Xu Zhiheng is far behind.

Could it be that he couldn’t ask for Chu Zhao, looking for a substitute? Lin Shuanghe’s mind was full of paste.

On the other end, Xu Zhiheng seemed to have spotted someone looking at him, and followed his gaze. He Yan had a full face here. Xu Zhiheng had never seen him before, but knew Lin Shuanghe. Lin Shuanghe didn’t have an official position. Lin Qingtan and Lin Mu were also very good at being in the court. Most officials in the court had good relations with the Lin family, at least they would not take the initiative to engage in evil. Seeing that Lin Shuanghe was also looking at himself, Xu Zhiheng was a little surprised at first, and then he stopped talking to his colleague and walked over to Lin Shuanghe.

“Brother Lin.” He stood still in front of Lin Shuanghe, warmly said, “It’s been a long time.”

Lin Shuanghe knew Xu Zhiheng, he was only acquainted with him, and he was not familiar with it, but he was a good person, so he said: “Yes, we should stay in Liangzhou for a while, it is better for us to Shuojing. By the way, this is me in Liangzhou. Brothers from the state.”

He Yan raised his eyes to Xu Zhiheng.

It has been more than two years or three years since she “saw” Xu Zhiheng last time. The Xu Zhiheng in her memory was gentle and considerate, at least that skin bag could completely deceive a handsome young man. But now that I look at it again, I don’t know if it’s because of the heart, Xu Zhiheng’s face has become a lot more mean.

He has lost a lot of weight, and his official robe is already generous, which makes him look a little rickety. Because he is too thin, there are some old looks on his face, and even the smile that is deliberately squeezed out looks extraordinarily stiff.

Xu Zhiheng is also looking at the people in front of him.

This is a very beautiful young man with vigorous vigor between his eyebrows and eyes. A red round-neck robe lined her with red lips and white teeth. A black belt around her waist outlines a very beautiful figure. The most attractive is the eyes, which are distinct. It is a gentle shape, but his eyes are sharp. When the young man was so far apart, he stared straight at him. It was the first time he saw each other. When he looked at him, he seemed to be full of emotions, cold and gloomy, as if he had seen him. All the disguise of the people can’t help but feel palpitations.

Xu Zhiheng was uncomfortable with this look, and turned to Lin Shuanghe, “This is…”

“Master Xu, don’t look at this little brother at a young age. He is now Wu Anlang who is pro-appointed by His Majesty, named He Yan. He will be our colleague in the future.”

Xu Zhiheng was still listening to Lin Shuanghe’s words with a smile, but after hearing what he said, his smile disappeared instantly and asked: “What do you mean…what is his name?”

“Master Xu,” He Yan looked at him with a smile, “The next name is He Yan, He Miao’s He, He Qing Haiyan’s Yan.”

Xu Zhiheng’s complexion changed drastically.

The corners of the young man’s lips were slightly curled up, looking friendly and young. However, looking closely at her eyes, there was no half a smile, like a cold pool of water, leading people to such an afternoon, the young woman was Struggling in the bottomless abyss in the dark, a compelling sense of suffocation is pressing on his throat.

His throat was so dry that he couldn’t say a word completely.

Fortunately, at this time, someone called Lin Shuanghe’s name, originally Lin Qingtan, Lin Shuanghe dragged He Yan away and said, “Brother He, that’s my grandfather, I’ll take you to take a look.”

The person in front of him is gone.

Xu Zhiheng almost suspected that the name he had just heard was a dream. It was caused by his restlessness for a while, but when he raised his eyes, he was standing beside Lin Shuanghe in the distance, and the young man who was talking to Lin Qingtan… reminded him. This is a fact.

There was indeed a person named “He Yan” who appeared in front of him.

Xu Zhiheng was in a cold sweat. A colleague found him strange and asked with concern, “What’s the matter with Mr. Xu? His face is so ugly? But his body is uncomfortable?”

Xu Zhiheng grinned reluctantly, waved his hand, “Nothing.” He turned and walked to the corner of no one, not daring to let others discover his horror.

He curled his fingers, trying to convince himself. What about He Yan? There are not a few people with the same name and surname in the world. “Grandma Xu” is dead, and he personally watched it sealed in the coffin. Today’s He Yan is a man, and, judging from his age, he should not be right.

but……

but……

But the young man named He Yan stared at him, and now thinking about it, Xu Zhiheng’s back was covered with chill.

Indifference, hatred, sarcasm, and in an instant, it turns into an insightful smile.

And he even said that sentence.

When he first saw He Yan, or when he saw He Yan who appeared by her real name for the first time, the girl was wearing a skirt and said rather uncomfortably: “My last name is He, my name is Yan, He Miao’s He, He Qing Haiyan’s Yan.”

Xu Zhiheng closed his eyes.

How could such a coincidence happen?

How could such a coincidence happen in front of him. This is really…

He Yan who was not far away could see his restlessness, and he sneered slightly in his heart.

Wang Ba always said that he would suffer a ghost if he walked at night for a long time. He originally thought that this person was too courageous, but now it seems that what he said is not unreasonable. Just like the father and son Sun Ling in Liangzhou City, they have done countless evil things, and countless women died in their hands, but they would also be afraid of evil spirits. They filled the courtyard with Buddha statues and runes.

Lin Shuanghe is very popular, and when he walks to one place, he can’t help but greet people. He Yan has been by his side, matching the positions of these people with their faces.

Where and what to do. When the battlefield was changed to the court, the general never fought unprepared battles.

At this time, only someone could hear loudly: “General Feihong is here, General Feihong is here!”

The officials at the scene calmed down a bit and looked at the direction of the outer door. It should be said that the two famous generals of Wei Hong, Feihong and Feng Yun, are all eye-catching at any time. Xiao Jue couldn’t come today, so the person who attracted attention became He Rufei alone.

Yan He, who was on the side, laughed “chily” and said disdainfully, “Isn’t the emperor, as for putting on such a big air?”

Xia Chengxiu pulled his sleeve, but Yan He did not continue.

He Yan also followed everyone’s head to look toward the outer door.

But seeing that someone came in as the palace man led him. This man wore the official robes of a military commander, and he was considered handsome. He was quite handsome and rugged. When someone greeted him, he nodded in response. It looked like he was kind and friendly, but he kept his share just right. Alienated.

This alienation made him, the “General Feihong”, seem a little more mysterious.

“Tsk.” He Yan heard Lin Shuanghe on his side, “This kid was very cute when he was young, how come he gets less pleasing as he grows up? How is this look different from the old guys who have been in officialdom for many years? He added in a low voice, “The officialdom is a big dyeing vat… Fortunately, I am not an official.”

It was the first time He Yan saw He Rufei when he was facing his colleagues in the courtroom. Under the name of General Feihong, he lived like a fish without any burden, as if he was General Feihong from beginning to end. I like it.

He Yan felt sick.

Probably his gaze was too focused, and He Rufei also seemed to feel it, looking at her. As soon as he met his gaze, He Yan turned his head in time and spoke to Lin Shuanghe. So He Rufei only saw a strange boy standing beside Lin Shuanghe. Maybe it was his illusion? He Rufei didn’t take it seriously, and sat down with his friends.

Of course, the colleagues he made friends with were all met after he took off his mask. He had nothing to do with him in the past, and Xu Zhiheng, in front of outsiders, they were not friendly. Everyone knows that He Rufei has a deep relationship with He Xinying’s brother and sister, but for this brother-in-law, he can only be regarded as a gentleman’s friend. After all, it is also a civil officer and a military officer.

He Yan knew otherwise.

It’s just a guilty person, afraid of being caught by others, and doing it deliberately. It seemed that they were very afraid of being discovered by others. The more they were afraid, the more confident He Yan would be.

Lin Shuanghe said: “Let’s sit down first, too.”

The male family members and the female family members are to be separated, but such a palace banquet, the female family members are also very few, except for the ladies that the Queen Mother Su Rili likes with their own girls, there are no others.

After another, I don’t know how long, there was a servant from the outside, and Emperor Wen Xuan arrived.
