Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 215

Chapter 215 General He

It snowed all night, and when I got up the next morning, a layer of silver frost accumulated in the yard.

Qingmei got up early to make the porridge, and before making the porridge, she deliberately glanced at whether there was anyone in He Yan’s room. Seeing He Yan was getting dressed, he wondered: “Why does the girl get up so early? It’s cold, it’s better to sleep longer.”

“It’s okay,” He Yan stretched, “I’m used to it.”

In Liangzhou Weili, I have to get up early every day, and when I return to Shuojing, this habit is not easy to change. While Qingmei was making porridge, He Yan picked up the broomstick placed in the corner of the yard to sweep the snow.

“Girl, put it down, how can you do this? Just come here.” Qingmei said in a panic.

He Yan smiled and said: “You still have to cook porridge, how can one person do two things? That’s it, it’s not just sweeping snow. I did a lot more than this hard thing when I was in the health center, so don’t care.”

Qingmei insisted, “No, girl, you can take the stove and sit in the house. Just come here for the servants and maidservants.”

“It’s okay.”

Chiwu squatting in the corner suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Although he was ordered to protect He Yan, the He family was really poor, and only Qingmei was the only subordinate. Now the lady and the maid are fighting to sweep the snow, it is really difficult for him to pretend not to see it.

After hesitating, Chiwu stood up and said, “I’ll come.”

Before He Yan had time to speak, Qingmei crooked her eyebrows and shoved the broom into Chiwu’s hand: “Thank you Chiwu guard, then!”

Chiwu: “…” He suspects that this little maidservant is waiting for him here.

He Yan was still a little embarrassed, Chiwu was also a talent in the Nine Banners Camp anyhow, Su Rili followed Xiao Jue and never did such a thing as sweeping the floor. Treat a guard with a sword as a servant, and say that it is their He family bullying. He Yan said: “Forget it, let me come.”

“It’s okay,” Qingmei said with a smile: “The Chiwu guard is better, and the strength is also great, girl, you are in poor health, just rest.”

Chi Wuxin said, this little servant probably didn’t see the appearance of their girl holding a hundred catties of boulders alone in Liangzhouwei.

However, for the two women here, he should do this kind of snow removal. Chiwu picked up the broom and swept around in the yard. Qingmei looked at the porridge in the kitchen, and pointed to him: “Chiwu guard, don’t just sweep the middle, you should also sweep the corners, in case the young master returns. What should I do if I don’t see it falling at night at home? There is still missing snow on the left…”

He Yan moved a stool and sat on the edge of the door, watching Chiwu a tall guard being turned around by a little maid. It was quite interesting.

After Chiwu had finished sweeping the snow and Qingmei had cooked the porridge, the three of them ate together on the table. He Sui and He Yunsheng left early, and Qingmei made pancakes overnight in advance for them to take with them. After eating, He Yan sat in the room in a daze.

She wanted to go to Xu’s house to find Fuwang again, but when she opened the drawer, the banknotes in it were gone. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. She knew that when she was at Xiao’s house, she should first go to the stack of banknotes in the drawer. Borrow it from Xiao Jue. I am embarrassed to borrow this identity now, or else… go to Lin Shuanghe?

On the other end, she was frowning about silver matters, and on the other end, in the utility room where Chiwu lived, a gray-feathered pigeon flew over and stopped on the beam of the house, black bean-like eyes staring at him. Chiwu opened his hand, and the pigeon flew to his hand. A small copper tube was tied to the pigeon’s leg. Chiwu untied the copper tube and pulled out a piece of paper from the copper tube.

After reading the note, he also showed some puzzled expressions in his eyes, but after a moment, he sorted it out, let the pigeon fly out, and walked to He Yan’s house and knocked on the door.

He Yan opened the door, saw Chiwu, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Young Master’s Qiuqiu Sword, when he was in Jiyang, he fought against the Utuo, and the scabbard broke.” Chi Wudao: “The Qiuqiu Sword was cast by the master Lu Daichuan. The Qiuqiu Sword is now in Shandong. Master repairs the casting.”

He Yan nodded, not understanding what Chi Wu said had anything to do with her.

“Today is the time to fetch the sword, the young master is out of the city. I also have to go out of the city and cannot go to fetch the sword. Master Lu has the rules and is out of date. If you miss this day, you will have to wait a hundred days before leaving the customs. . And those who go to get the sword, except for the sword owner, are only the people closest to him.”

“Huh?” He Yan was speechless, “This is too harsh.”

However, the capable craftsmen in the world more or less have a little temperament of their own. Since Lu Daichuan could forge a treasure like the Drinking Autumn Sword, it was not incomprehensible to have such a quirk.

“Miss He,” Chi Wu looked at her and said, “You are now the fiancée of the governor. It is up to you to fetch the sword. Master Lu will agree. So, can Ms. He do the young master a favor and take the sword from Master Lu? ”

He Yan said, “It’s not difficult, but how can I prove that I am the governor… Well, what about my fiancée?”

“Don’t you have the young master’s snake-print black jade?” Chiwu replied, “just use that one.”

He Yan removed the piece of black jade from his waist: “Can this prove the identity of your young master?”

Chiwu: “Exactly.”

“Then use this to go to the bank, is it possible to use silver?”

Chiwu: “…If Miss He is short of silver, you can talk to you, Master will not stand by.”

He Yan slapped haha, and said with a smile: “I’m just talking about laughing.” He secretly understood in his heart that it seemed that this black jade would work wherever he went, so it shouldn’t be a problem to exchange some silver flowers.

She simply said: “Okay, it’s not a big deal, you hand over the residence of Master Lu to me, and I will go later.”

“Master Lu lives in the mountains in the north of the city, and the journey is a little far away.” Chiwudao: “We will prepare a carriage and guards for Miss He, so as to avoid danger on the road.”

He Yan: “Forget it, you guards, even I can’t beat me. They are really in danger, maybe whoever saves them. You just give me the place to live, it will be fine. Besides, it will be the assassin’s back After the incident, the city’s defenses were doubled, no problem.”

Her attitude was stubborn, but she couldn’t be stubborn, so she had to give up in the end.

Chiwu seemed to have something very important. After writing Lu Daichuan’s residence to He Yan, he hurried out of the house. He Yan soothed Qingmei, and then took Xiangxiang out of the house. Although Lu Daichuan’s residence is far away, it is not difficult to find. In the winter of Yinbei Mountain, the snow is heavier than that in the city, and the surrounding area is silvery white. If a horse-drawn carriage is walking in the mountains, I am afraid that it will take a day and a night. He Yan is glad that he did not listen to Chiwu riding the horse-drawn carriage, but instead rides a horse. At least before the sun sets, he can catch up with Master Lu.

This Lu Daichuan is also a wonderful person. He Yan previously thought that since he lives on the mountain, he must be a master of immortality. Who knows that this person has built a palace-like house in the mountain, which is extremely gorgeous. As soon as He Yan entered, two giant tigers ran over and whispered at her.

Xiangxiang was taken aback and almost threw He Yan out. He Yan held the horse rope to comfort Xiangxiang. When he got off the horse, he found that these two colorful giant tigers were actually made of wood, with black eyeballs. The gems glowing green glowed in the dark. At first glance, they looked like real.

He Yan was surprised. This is probably Lu Daichuan’s handwriting. It really is a good craftsman who cuts the moon and cuts the clouds.

The door was not closed, and the emptiness was hidden. The two giant tigers were still howling at He Yan, but there was no other action. He Yan thought about it and pushed the door and walked in. As soon as I entered, I felt that this place was simply a small Wei.

In the large house in the north, a small canal was dug like a river in the south of the Yangtze River. In it was a small boat that could only sit on one person. There were curtains hanging on the small boat, and moving music sounded from it. Take a closer look. There was no one in the boat, only a wooden box.

The flowers and plants on the wall are fake, but they are made to be lifelike, even in winter, they look very lively and prosperous. There are some colorful stones scattered on the ground, which should not be gems, but they are shining with fine light, which is eye-catching. He Yan seemed to have entered the legendary Dragon Palace, and it seemed that he was in a fairyland. He couldn’t help but admire that this person was so skillful and skillful, and it was no wonder that he could forge a sword like Yinqiu.

She just walked to the main hall, with a sound, the door opened by itself, and He Yan collapsed in. She saw a man in a white robe sitting in the huge hall. This man was cutting a piece of bamboo in his hand. The dragonfly probably has made the last step. He Yan watched as he flicked the tail of the dragonfly, and the dragonfly “buzzed” by itself and flew up.

She couldn’t help but let out an exclamation, the man turned his head and also taught He Yan to see his face clearly.

In fact, this man is indeed wearing a fairy style. The white robe is made of some materials. It is extraordinarily light and elegant. It looks like a former hermit, but it is his appearance that is completely different from it. The very roundness of this life is not an exaggeration, as if it were a round ball. When he looked over with a smile, it was like a Maitreya Buddha, without the slightest “glorious” style.

This was a little unexpected for He Yan. She originally thought that she would see an indifferent, arrogant, eccentric, and eccentric old man with white beard. And this person seems to be very young, just in his twenties. He is a young fat man.

“A guest is here.” The man laughed.

“Are you Master Lu?” He Yan took off the jade pendant around his waist and showed him, “I’m here to supervise the sword for Xiao Du.”

“Huh,” Lu Daichuan saw He Yan’s jade pendant and was taken aback. “How could Xiao Huaijin’s sword be on you? Are you Xiao Jue’s fiancée?”

He Yan was caught off guard when he was asked such a sentence. She didn’t know how to answer for a while. After a while, she nodded, “Exactly.”

“It turned out to be Huai Jin’s fiancee.” Lu Daichuan nodded, then looked at He Yan again, “Yes, not bad.”

He Yan felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably. After thinking about it, he asked, “Master Lu and Du Du Xiao seem to have a good personal relationship?” This person looked friendly, and there was no such unkindness that Chi Wu said.

“It’s not good, and it’s not bad.” Lu Daichuan smiled and shook his head, clapped his hands, and made a “creak”. He Yan looked at the sound and found that there was a wood standing in this hall. The little man who was made was only one foot tall, and she became a beautiful woman. She walked into it “DaDaDa” and didn’t know what she was doing.

“This… is all done by Master Lu?”

“Just some puppets,” Lu Daichuan smiled, “I don’t have a living person in this garden, only puppets, who help me with work on weekdays.”

This sounds a bit scary, but inexplicably, He Yan didn’t feel scared. She said: “Then why don’t you ask some craftsmen to help? Or simply go down the mountain.”

“That won’t work,” Lu Daichuan said, “I have lived on the mountain for more than 30 years. The days under the mountain are not suitable for me.”

He Yan: “Excuse me, Master this year?”

This person seems to be in his twenties. Why has he lived on the mountain for more than 30 years?

“you guess?”

He Yan couldn’t figure it out, and simply said: “I look at the master and it looks like he’s only in his early twenties.”

These words seemed to please Lu Daichuan, and he laughed loudly with his belly in his hands, “You child, your mouth is like wiping honey. No wonder Xiao Huaijin likes you. It’s really flattering.”

He Yan: “…”

She was thinking about why this swordsmith looked so sloppy. The little wooden man who entered the house just now ran out again, holding a long box in her hand, and placed it in front of He Yan. .

He Yan opened the box and saw a long sword lying in the box, the sword body was like frost like snow, it was drinking autumn.

“Has been repaired?” He Yan asked in surprise, and there was no trace of cracking on the scabbard.

“It’s a sword, it won’t take long.” Lu Daichuan looked at He Yan with a gentle smile, “As you are Xiao Huaijin’s fiancée, for Xiao Huaijin’s sake, I can also create a weapon that belongs to you. , Or treasure, what do you want?”

He Yan joked: “Can the master also make a sword like Yinqiu for me?”

Lu Daichuan looked at her, smiled and said, “No.”

“Why?” He Yan asked with a smile, “Master thinks I am not worthy of your sword?”

“You already have a sword, you don’t have to have another one.”

He Yan’s smile suddenly froze and looked at Lu Daichuan.

How did this person know that she had a sword?

“Master, I don’t have a sword.” He Yan said, “I don’t even have a handy weapon.”

“There will be,” Lu Daichuan shook his head, the smile in his eyes seemed to penetrate everything about her, “Your sword will come back to you again.”

He Yan stared at Lu Daichuan, trying to see some flaws on his face, but unfortunately, this person couldn’t see anything other than the kind and consistent smile.

He Yan stood up holding the box containing Yinqiu, “Master, it’s not early, I came today to get the sword. Now that I have the sword, I should go back.” She saluted Lu Daichuan. , “Thank you, Master.”

“You don’t have to be polite.” Lu Daichuan also stood up. It was not easy for him to stand up. It was really because of his fat body. It took a little effort to stand firm with a ball. He gathered his hands to send He Yan to the door, beside him. It’s the two colorful giant tigers and the little wooden man, like a weird emperor hiding in the mountains, “Let’s go.”

He Yan turned on his horse and turned away, but the figure from the back looked a bit like running away.

The sound of horseshoes faded away. Lu Daichuan gave a “tsk” and looked down at the wooden man who reached his calf. “Emerald, do you think I scared the little girl.”

The wooden man hung on his lap and said nothing.

“Fine,” Lu Daichuan shook his head again, turned and walked back, muttering to himself as he walked: “Huaijin, Huaijin, I can only help you here as a teacher.”

…

It was getting dark quickly on the mountain.

When He Yan came, the sun hadn’t set yet, and he stayed in Master Lu’s “Bieyuan” for a short time, but when he came out, the sky was already completely dark.

Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, shining in the snow covered mountains and plains, and it is brighter than usual. She remembered her way well, riding Xiangxiang down the mountain, but she repeatedly remembered what Fangcai had said to Master Lu.

How could Master Lu know that she already had a sword, did he know something in the first place, or was this person really an outsider who could see at a glance the truth of his survivorship?

But now she is alone and knows nothing about Lu Daichuan. She should wait until she sees Xiao Jue after going down the mountain and ask him who Lu Daichuan is before making plans.

He Yan sighed slightly. The trouble with the identity of the original “Miss He Da” who was disguised as a man and joined the army in Liangzhouwei has just been solved, and now there is another one. This day, it feels like they are constantly solving one problem after another.

He Yan’s gaze fell on the wooden box in front of him, fortunately he finally took the Yin Qiu Jian back. I don’t know where her Qing Lang is now being placed by He Rufei. With He Rufei’s caution, unless absolutely necessary, she will definitely not hold Qinglang to show others. If her Qing Lang is still with her, she will definitely wipe it every day.

The horse galloped in the mountains, and the cold wind blowing on her face hurt her face. She exhaled and immediately painted white mist in the night. The mountain was extremely cold.

Suddenly, something flew towards him behind him, and the horses under him were frightened and stood up abruptly. He Yan pulled the reins, and the next moment someone flew from behind him, with the shimmering sword pointed at his back.

There are assassins!

He Yan avoided him, dismounted, and landed. Before he could see who this person was, he had already made a comeback and rushed in front of He Yan, with the sword in his hand pointed at He Yan’s heart. It turned out that He Yan would be killed if he didn’t say anything.

There is no one in this wilderness, even if it is shouting, it is impossible to call the city to defend. But she was unarmed and very troublesome. She had no choice but to split the wooden box that she was holding under her armpit with one hand. With a “boom”, the wooden box shattered, and the Yin Qiu sword fell into He Yan’s hands.

Although she had seen and touched her in her past and present life, it was the first time she started drinking autumn with her hands. As soon as I started, I felt that this sword was really cold, as sharp as the owner of the sword.

I’m sorry Xiao Jue, she secretly said in her heart, temporarily borrow your sword to use it.

He Yan suddenly pulled out the Yin Qiu Jian, looked at the person in front of him, and shouted, “Who are you?”

With the moonlight on the ground, He Yan could see clearly. The opponent’s body was covered in a black cloak. The drapery covered most of his face, only a little bit of his chin was exposed, which looked like sapphire in the night. . She wanted to look again, but the other party couldn’t wait to swept the sword towards He Yan’s neck.

Why didn’t you start a fight without saying a word? He Yan was shocked, but the murderous intent that had reached the door all showed one thing that the other party wanted to kill her.

It seems that I just want to take her life. He Yan frowned. Could it be that He Rufei had sent him again? But last time there was still a group of people, why is there only one this time?

But soon, He Yan understood why there was only one person this time. Compared with the assassins of the last time, this man is much more skilled. Even He Yan couldn’t help being surprised when he fought against him. His swordsmanship is exquisite, seemingly calm and murderous, and comparable to hers.

She was astonished in her heart as to what this person came from. Even if she was in Shuojing, such skilled people were rare. Does He Rufei have such a powerful person?

Before he could think about it, the swords danced with each other and made a sound of clank. He Yan avoided the tip of this man’s sword, bent his elbow and slammed into the opponent’s abdomen, but the man seemed to have anticipated that she was going to sneak attack, and dodged sideways. Instead, he flashed behind He Yan and stabbed with the sword. He Yan couldn’t dodge, so he had to stab back with his backhand with his back to the person. The two swords collided with a “bang”, and both of them stepped back a few steps.

He Yan was stunned for a moment. For some reason, a familiar feeling came to his heart. She didn’t know where this familiarity came from, but before she could understand, this person had already stabbed with a sword again.

The opponent moved extremely fast, almost until after every fight, there was no gap or free time, and then came again. The sword strokes are like torrential rains, thin and dense. The Qiuqiu in He Yan’s hand is flexible and sharp, and she has already used it smoothly. Therefore, those flaws and habits about “General Feihong” have not been concealed.

The snow flakes danced in the wind, and in the night, the bamboo forest seemed to have a soft breeze, burying the killing intent leisurely.

He Yan tapped his toes, Yin Qiu in his hand seemed to have a sense of mind with her, and finally saw a trace of the flaw in the opponent’s sword move. Without hesitation, his figure was as swift as lightning, and he rushed towards the opponent.

At the same time, the man also stabbed at He Yan.

The two long swords made a crisp collision in the air, and the moment they passed by, there was a “pop” with a cold color, and the long sword in the hands of the black man was cut into two by Yin Qiu. He Yan turned around abruptly, stabling away at the back of the person who hadn’t turned back.

The point of the sword, only a cent short, was about to pierce his vest.

But at this tiny bit, it can be stopped.

It was surprisingly quiet all around, only the sound of rustling falling snow, and the clear voice of wild cranes in the distant valley. He Yan looked at the opponent’s back and seemed to feel something, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly.

The other party was motionless. She spoke slowly, hoarsely: “Who are you?”

In an instant, Shanyue broke through the dark clouds, thousands of peaks piled up jade, Wanhe was covered with silver, the man slowly turned around, took off his veil, and revealed a familiar face.

“Xiao Jue…” He Yan muttered.

The black cloak was flying slightly by the wind in the snowy night, the youth’s facial features were as beautiful as jade carvings, and there seemed to be inexplicable emotions in the black eyes of autumn water, staring at her, as if from the past to the present, and perhaps there is a future.

“Your swordsmanship has improved a lot.”

He curled his lips: “Long time no see, General He.”
