Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 209

Chapter 209

After leaving Xu Mansion, He Yan went back to He’s family directly.

He Sui and He Yunsheng have not returned yet, He Yan digs out a small box from the box under the table, with a few silver ingots scattered in it. Fuwang is a greedy for money, and would never dare to take such a big risk to do things for her if it hadn’t had very big interests.

He Yan’s eyes gradually became serious.

Xu Zhiheng was probably so frightened that he went to find Mother Qin’s whereabouts so quickly. She had to find someone before Xu Zhiheng, and she would inevitably take care of it.

He Yan sighed as he looked at the poor few silver coins.

Is it really necessary to go to Letongzhuang again?

…

A gorgeous carriage stopped at the gate of Shijin Bo’s Mansion, and the maid came in with the young lady.

The servants of the Chu family hurriedly came out respectfully and respectfully said, “Miss Xu is here.”

Xu Pingting raised his chin and carried his skirt and stepped into the gate of the Chu family.

When Xu Jingfu came to Chu’s house occasionally to look for Chu Zilan, Xu Pingting would also follow. Everyone in the Chu family knew that Xu Pingting was the jewel in Xu Jingfu’s palm, and they did not dare to neglect it at all.

Mrs. Chu followed out, saw Xu Pingting, and smiled: “Miss Xu is here. Zilan has not yet returned to the house. You can sit in the hall and have some hot tea first, and wait for Zilan to come back. .”

Xu Pingting glanced at Madam Chu and snorted as a response.

Her behavior was already very rude, but Madam Chu was not angry, still smiling, and went out and ordered the maids to make some snacks. Xu Pingting looked at her busy figure and cocked her mouth in satisfaction.

Uncle Shi Jin’s wife, if her appearance was unsalt, it was nothing at all. In Shuojing, there were more and less beautiful women, but she was married to the beautiful man Chu Linfeng. Comparing the two, naturally provokes people to talk and joke. Chu Linfeng was also a coveted beauty. He carried his concubine into the mansion with one room and one room. He carried 19 rooms in full, all of them were beautiful and beautiful. In this way, Mrs. Chu seemed even more pitiful.

But no one dared to underestimate this Madam Chu. In this mansion, except for Chu Zhao, there was no concubine who could give birth to Chu Linfeng’s child. Xu Pingting also heard Xu Jingfu say that Chu Zhao’s position in the mansion is embarrassing. Since she loves Chu Zhao, she wants to share the same enemy with Chu Zhao. Therefore, every time she comes to the Chu family, she has to make things difficult for Mrs. Chu’s aunt. Vent their anger.

It is the same today.

Madam Chu asked her maid to bring refreshments and tea. Chu Linfeng was not in the house at this time. Madam Chu smiled and said, “I haven’t seen Miss Xu in some days. Since your majesty has given me a marriage, I heard that Miss Xu wants to marry Zilan. Even the reasoning, I am also very happy. In the city of Shuo, only Miss Xu deserves Zilan’s treatment.”

Who doesn’t like to listen to good things, especially the kind words that Chu Zilan loves her. Xu Pingting was also a little proud when she heard that, and said: “That’s natural. How can the girl next to you be worthy of Brother Zilan.”

Madam Chu smiled, took a sip of the tea on one side, her eyes fell on the maid Mo Mo behind Xu Pingting.

Xu Pingting noticed her gaze and said displeasedly, “What do you think my maid does?”

“I see, Ms. Xu’s close-knit maid is really beautiful.” Madam Chu stroked her sideburns and said unhurriedly: “After you and Zilan are married, Ying Xiang next to Zilan will also The birth is not bad, but when you go out, you are a beautiful family.”

It’s okay not to mention this. When Ying Xiang is mentioned, Xu Pingting’s glamorous and compelling face immediately rises in front of Ying Xiang’s eyes.

Moss is good, but it is far worse than Ying Xiang. Not to mention Moss, there are countless women in Shuojing, and there are very few who really want to compare with Ying Xiang.

Speaking of which, Xu Pingting suddenly realized that she saw Chu Zhao these days, but did not see Ying Xiang.

“Where is that girl now?” Xu Pingting asked.

“Zilan doesn’t have to wait for her, and she does some light work in the yard on weekdays.” Madam Chu said with a smile: “Ms. Xu also knows that Zilan has a gentle temperament and a kind heart. She always treats women very kindly. Since Ying Xiang is the maid he grew up with since childhood, she is more special than other servants.”

Mo Tai couldn’t help but speak, “No matter how special, she is just a slave!”

Xu Pingting’s hands were clenched into a fist, her nails embedded in her palms, her face was extremely ugly.

Ying Xiang is a thorn in her heart. With such a Hu Meizi next to Chu Zhao, how can she be relieved? If it weren’t for Chu Zhao’s protection, Ying Xiang would have died a thousand times. When she was young, she once joked about selling Ying Xiangfa, and Chu Zilan, who had always been obedient to Xu Pingting, ignored her for the first time for half a month.

At that time, Xu Pingting understood that Chu Zhao wanted to protect Ying Xiang. If she used the same method that she used to deal with the little lady who was interested in Chu Zhao to deal with Ying Xiang, Chu Zhao would never forgive her for the rest of her life.

Xu Pingting did not want to create a rift between Chu Zhao and her, nor did she want Chu Zhao to think that she was a vicious woman. This forbearance lasted for many years. However, she and Chu Zhao did not have a marriage contract before. Could it be that she will become Chu Zhao’s wife in the future, yet she still has to tolerate a vixen dangling under her nose every day?

Mrs. Chu glanced over Xu Pingting’s face, sighed, and said: “Miss Xu is still young now and has never been a family in the mansion. But once married, her life will be completely different from when she was a girl’s house. You see, there are all nineteen concubines in the Chu Mansion. Everyone treats me with respect and respect. They seem to be good. Is it true that I have no grudges?”

“This woman, you can be jealous when you’re not married, and make some petty tempers understandable, but if you are still married, others will say that you are jealous and rude and scorn your duty.”

Xu Pingting became angry when she heard it, “Who dares to say that I am jealous?”

“Even if I don’t say it, I still think so.” Madam Chu smiled and said, “So, if Miss Xu has someone who doesn’t look down on, she must be sent away before getting married, otherwise she will stay with multiple people in the house. Small things affect the relationship between husband and wife. You are still young… if it hurts your feelings, it would be bad.”

She was concerned with her words and smiled. Of course, Xu Pingting knew that Madam Chu was instigating discord. What she said was what she cared about the most. You must know that to keep Yingxiang is to leave herself a thorn in her heart. If this thorn is not pulled out, she will not be happy in her life.

“What if the person I want to get rid of is protected by someone?” Xu Pingting asked.

Chu Linfeng looked for beautiful concubines in the nineteen rooms, among them, smart or stupid, no one could beat the plain-looking woman in front of him. To be honest, despite her identity, Xu Pingting still admires Mrs. Chu. If there is no means, how can she be able to control the huge Chu family?

“It’s not easy.” Mrs. Chu said: “I heard that the prince was once a teacher for the prince, and there are people who lack smart and caring. If the prince asks, who dares not follow?”

Xu Pingting’s eyes lit up.

She has forgotten this. What if she can’t respond to Xiang, but the prince can, facing the prince, can Chu Zhao still refuse?

Suddenly, Xu Pingting’s heart was surging, and even Chu Zhao was reluctant to wait. She stood up, glanced at Madam Chu, and revealed the first smile of the day, “Thank you Madam Chu for solving my confusion. There is still something to do today, I am going to change it. Come again tomorrow.” Leaving hurriedly with the maid.

After Xu Pingting left, the smile on Madam Chu’s face faded. The woman next to her asked in a low voice, “Madam, His Royal Highness really wants to ask for Yingxiang, and the fourth son has nothing to do.”

“Chu Zilan is used to knowing how to protect himself, even if he loves that girl again, it is impossible to ruin the future for a cheap maid. I never thought that he would deal with the prince.”

“Then you…”

Madam Chu picked up the tea cup in front of her, took a sip, and then said after a while: “Yingxiang was begged away by the prince. It was Xu Pingting’s intention. I will naturally let Chu Zilan know about this. He bears grudges very much, his face does not show up, and my heart can’t say so much. I just want him to fight with the Xu family.”

“You also know,” Madam Chu sneered, “The ending of the fight with the Xu family is just a dead word.”

“I’m waiting for the day he died.”

…

He Yan didn’t know what happened to the Chu family, and since the celebration banquet, she has never seen Chu Zhao again. I think I am probably busy with Xu Pingting’s marriage, after all, the Xu family still values this daughter very much.

On this day, in the evening, He Yan went to pick up He Yun to give birth to school.

In the early winter of Shuojing, it was dark and early, and there were not as many people on the road as in the past. Except for the vendors who sell hot soup, people still prefer to nest in warm rooms.

A group of young men walked out of Helu Academy. He Yunsheng was surrounded in the middle, unlike what he saw when He Yan arrived last time.

“Yun Sheng, in the future your brother-in-law will be the famous General Feng Yun, and you are still great!”

“How can this be called Yunsheng’s great? This is called Yunsheng’s elder sister! Can your elder sister be like this? Can’t do it!”

He Yan listened to her by the wall, and felt something was wrong. Why did it sound like cursing her when he was together?

He Yunsheng is now in the academy, and everyone is reluctant to take care of him. Once he has become a person who has to post a cover, it is nothing more than a sister who is a female Hou and a brother-in-law of General Feng Yun. There are actually shameless people who have posted and said they are going to be a guest at his house, bah! He doesn’t even know that person.

It was so easy to pull the group of brown candies away. He Yunsheng carried the cloth bag on his way home, and was patted on the back inadvertently. He Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his head. , “You walk so fast, the game?”

He Yunsheng was taken aback, then looked around, “Why are you here?”

“We dealt with some official business today,” He Yan said solemnly: “Go home and pass by your academy. I will wait for you to go back together.”

“Don’t come to the academy to find me in the future,” He Yunsheng walked forward sullenly, not in a good mood, “These lunatics have seen you and don’t know what they are going to be crazy about.”

He Yan smiled, and guessed what happened to the boy, and said: “I see, we Yunsheng don’t like to be in the limelight, so we won’t come to you next time. Hey, I guess Dad should go home later. Congee, let’s buy some mutton buns and eat.”

“Just know to eat.” He Yunsheng complained, and obediently followed He Yan to buy buns.

The mutton buns on the streets of Shuojing have thin skins and large fillings, and they are not expensive. The hot buns are packed in oiled paper bags, hugged in your arms and heated. He Yan held the paper bag and walked home with He Yunsheng, turned into an alley, and took out a bun to He Yunsheng, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat a cushion for your stomach first.”

He Yunsheng refused, “No, you want to grow into the glutinous rice balls of the next king’s house?”

Tangyuan is a pig raised by the Wang family next door. It is also the fattest pig on this street. When you walk, you can only see a round and white ball. Therefore, it is obviously a behemoth, so he married a lovely name of “Tangyuan”.

He Yan glanced at him up and down, and took a bite by himself, “You know that you love beauty at such a young age. I told you that you are now when you are growing up. How can you grow taller if you don’t eat more? It’s okay to come down, anyway, your appearance will not be worse in the future.”

She didn’t know what she was talking about upside down. He Yun was angry and was about to teach her not to speak so casually in the future, but when He Yan suddenly frowned, he quickly pulled him behind him before he had time to ask. What happened, the half of the bun in He Yan’s hand had already responded, and he accurately hit a certain shadow on the wall. The next moment, on all sides of the wall, several shadows appeared from nowhere. Charged towards their siblings.

“Be careful, Yunsheng!” He Yan pushed He Yunsheng to the corner of the alley with a palm. He Yunsheng was stunned by the sudden assassination. When he turned over and sat up, he had already seen He Yan fighting with the group of people in black. Their purpose is not him. He Yunsheng yelled: “Help, kill someone——”

However, this street is already sparsely populated. At night, there are not many people. Even if there are people, the timid would not dare to come here. He went to school without any weapons, even though he wanted to rush in to help with his bare hands, only halfway through the rush, he was slashed by a man in black, which shook him to the ground.

“Yunsheng!” He Yan was anxious. Bend to avoid the blade of the person in front of him, bent his elbow, and hit the person’s abdomen. The person was knocked back. He Yan snatched his knife and knocked over the knives of several people.

Her sword skills are good. Although these people are crowded, they are not so good in terms of their skills, but after a short time, they fell under the sword of He Yan. He Yan didn’t take their lives, and kicked the last person down. He Yunsheng hurried over, with panic in his eyes, “He Yan!”

“It’s not big or small,” He Yan wanted to make him relaxed, deliberately jokingly: “I’m going to call my sister.”

He Yunsheng didn’t care, just grabbed He Yan’s hand and looked up and down, “Are you not hurt? What happened to you just now? Why did you push me out.”

“Your small body is not enough to block the knife.” He Yan said: “Go and get the torch on the wall. Let me ask a few words.”

He Yunsheng was still a little nervous, He Yan urged him several times before going to the wall to get a torch. He Yan took the torch and walked to the nearest person and squatted down. At first glance, he was stunned. She didn’t attack the vitals of these people, but the man’s mouth was filthy, motionless, and he was dead.

She took the torch and went to see the remaining people, all of them.

“What’s the matter?” He Yunsheng was very sensitive to murder because of Fan Cheng’s incident. At this moment, the people lying on the ground lost their breath and panicked, “Why are these robbers dead? You obviously…”

“Poison was put in his mouth, and when he was caught, he bit the poison and committed suicide,” He Yan stood up, his eyes bright under the torch, “They are not bandits, they are dead men.”

“The dead man?” He Yunsheng was stunned for a moment. “The dead man…how come to kill us…no, it’s to kill you.”

When he was pushed out by He Yan, those people didn’t take the opportunity to kill him, but kept pestering He Yan. But He Yan had been in Liangzhou before, and it was not long before he returned to Shuojing, and there was no enemy. How could anyone deliberately want her life?

At this time, there were voices of people and horseshoes from outside, and a large group of people ran over with torches along with the fire. He Yan raised his eyes and saw that it was actually the city guard. Thinking of He Yunsheng’s big voice just now, he still agitated the people around him, so he went to look for the nearby city guard.

“What’s the matter?” The officers and soldiers in the lead got off their horses and looked at the corpses all over the ground, their expressions suddenly solemn.

He Yunsheng was afraid that they would suspect He Yan and himself, so he hurriedly said: “Guardian, as soon as we got here, these people jumped out and killed us. My sister fought with them. These people can’t beat my sister. , He swallowed the medicine and killed himself.”

The young man was still a little nervous, but it was much better than when he was on the boat last time, at least he could finish a sentence completely.

“Sister?” The officers and soldiers looked at He Yan suspiciously. A woman, against so many men, is the man invincible? It sounds weird.

He Yan didn’t look flustered, only took out the seal from his arms, “Wu’an Hou Heyan.”

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers were shocked, but He Yunsheng believed 70% of what he said. Who doesn’t know Wu’anhou? That confidante named Marquis, and the strange woman who was also the “lovely person” of the Governor of the Youjun, is now spreading across the capital.

“It was Wu’anhou.” After confirming that the official seal is true, the head of the officers and soldiers is much more respectful. He only looks at the corpses all over the floor and still has some doubts. Your life?”

He Yan nodded.

“Wu’anhou knows, who are these people?”

He Yan shook his head, “Because I am a dead man, I am a person who is determined to take my life. It’s just that I have no enemies in Shuojing, so I am also very puzzled.”

“Report to the official,” she said.

He Yunsheng raised his head.

“This matter is not solved by me alone. Someone at the feet of the emperor dares to attack court officials. What if it is not me who is ambushed today but ordinary people without the power of a chicken? Perhaps, from Shuo Jingcheng The city’s defense may not have enough manpower to neglect this.” The woman usually treats people and things in a friendly manner, and when she puts away her smile, she appears a bit cold and stern, “In my opinion, this matter should be handled by the government. You said. What, sir?”

The officers and soldiers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and said with a smile: “Natural, natural.”
