Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 221

Chapter 221

In the city of Shuojing, an anecdote recently spread. Someone set fire in the library of Xianchang Museum. The person who set fire was found and was buried in the flames. The library was burned to a whole collection of books. The notes left by General Feihong He Rufei when he was studying in the academy.

For so many years, the Xianchang Pavilion has two famous generals. Among the two famous generals, if General Feng Yun is the genius admired in the hearts of young people, then General Feihong He Rufei is a model for educating students by teachers who are often taught.

“You must know that when General He was in Xianchang Hall, his studies were not good, and he was often the last one. Even so, hard work can make up for one’s weaknesses, and now he is not a great warrior. Therefore, not everyone in the world is a genius. Achieve great cause.”

General He is an example of “diligence can make up for one’s weakness”. It is not enough to rely on the words of his classmates and husband at the time. The notes in the library are the evidence. Now this evidence was burnt away inexplicably, while many gentlemen in Shuojing city secretly scolded the arsonist for wickedness, the students in the academy cheered unanimously.

After all, being forced to “make up for one’s weakness with diligence” is really not an easy task.

At He Mansion, He Rufei sat in the study and looked at the subordinate who reported the news.

“You mean, the dead men who were sent out for arson didn’t even leave their bodies?” he asked.

“Exactly.”

“If not,” He Yuansheng narrowed his eyes, “what do you think is wrong?”

“But I burned a book and died in the fire. I couldn’t even see the body. I always felt a little strange.”

The subordinate replied respectfully: “The little one asked about the fire in the library near Xianchang Hall. It is true that the library was on fire. Now the students in the library have all gone home. The curator is inviting someone to repair the burned bookshelf… It is said that’General He “‘S notes, there is no one left.”

He Yuansheng thought for a moment, “If not, if you are not at ease, do you want to go there yourself?”

“No.” He Rufei categorically refused, “Now it’s an eventful season, and I have to be more cautious in my words and deeds. The Xianchang Hall just caught fire, and I will inevitably get caught when I go again. What happened last time hasn’t happened yet. , Must not be taken lightly.” He Rufei felt depressed when he thought of the last time. He had already made up his mind to kill He Yan, at least with the intention of temptation. But I didn’t expect that woman was so skilled. Fortunately, all he was looking for were dead men who could not reveal the secret. In the end, Ben pushed all the evidence to Fan’s family, but the Yamen side hesitated to close the case. He Rufei sent someone to inquire, only to realize that Xiao Jue had intervened.

Xiao Huaijin takes his fiancée very seriously, and now it seems that he wants to make an appearance for his fiancée. He Rufei didn’t pay much attention to the daughter of the captain of the city gate alone, but he had already heard of Xiao Jue’s methods, and even Xu Jingfu had not benefited from this person. Of course it was worthy of fear.

“Fine, since the memo has been burned, don’t mention the others.” He Rufei turned his head, “Soon, the Uto envoy will enter Beijing. At this juncture, it is better not to cause trouble.”

He Yuan paused and looked at He Rufei, “Once the Utuo enters the capital, your majesty will definitely discuss the main warlord and, if not, our He family…”

“Father, our He family is naturally the master of peace.” He Rufei sneered: “Not to mention the Huayuan battle. We are already tied together. Even now for the He family, we must only stand together. Xiao Huaijin has already become enemies with us, and helping Xu Xiang is helping ourselves.”

“Of course I know, it’s just,” He Yuansheng’s eyes flashed with a gleam, “My son, the four princes in the current dynasty are very loud, you see…”

“No matter how loud the voice of the four princes is, it can’t be louder than Xu Xiang.” He Rufei frowned, “Besides, Dawei is the most respected etiquette. The prince is orthodox, and the fourth prince has no support from his mother. Dad, this time has come, Our He family cannot presumptuously hold a neutral position, and must stand on the side of the prince without reservation.”

He Yuansheng sighed, “I’m just worried for my father.”

He Rufei glanced over with a trace of sarcasm, and he looked at He Yuansheng: “Father, if you want to get the wealth of the sky, it is impossible not to take risks. When my sister came to the step of the general, there was no retreat.”

He Yuansheng was taken aback for a moment, as if he was suddenly exposed to the secrets in his heart. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. After a pause, he stood up and said: “Since you have made up your mind, just do as you said. There is still something to do for your father. I’m here, let’s go first.” He also left as if fleeing.

He Rufei looked at He Yuansheng’s back in a hurry, smiled, leaned back, his face gradually darkened.

I don’t know since when, the entire He family has already started to look at his face and act. Even He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang must be careful when talking to him. He Rufei heard more than once from the servants in the mansion that the young master’s temperament has become more and more weird in recent years, which is very different from the past. After He Rufei heard it, the subordinates who spoke were put to death directly. After a few times, no one dared to chew on his back.

Those who make big things don’t stick to the trivial. The two brothers of the He family, He Yuanliang was timid, cowardly, sleek and cunning, and unbearable. He Yuansheng was cruel and cruel, but unfortunately, there were a lot of worries, and he didn’t dare to give it a go. Now there is only a woman with the same name and surname, who has become rivals with Xiao Huaijin.

How do they know that blood on their hands is the most common thing to do when they have to do important things. Just like the battle of Huayuan, he took the initiative to catch up with Xu Jingfu in order to avoid future troubles. Xu Jingfu and Wutuo also had secret contacts. It was just a casual talk. In the past, He Yan’s confidants were all buried in that battle that didn’t need to pay so much.

From now on, few people knew about General Feihong, and he, the general, did what he did with peace of mind.

He Rufei is not half ashamed of what he has done, and he has no sympathy for his cousin who died early. Before He Yan became “General Feihong”, she had lived under her own name for many years. If it weren’t for the identity of the “eldest young master”, a woman living in the world should follow the rules and marry a husband, where there will be everything afterwards. It can be said that the military merits He Yan earned were originally obtained under his name. Now, everything is just returning to the original owner.

Not to mention that Wu’anhou was obviously a stand-in who pretended to be a ghost, even if the real He Yan came to claim his life, he was not afraid.

Because… this should be his.

…

On this day, He Yan left the house early in the morning, and did not return home until the evening.

Mrs. Fan in the prison was still crazy, and she couldn’t put out any useful news in her mouth. Mother Qin was hidden in Xiao’s house, but what she knew was very limited. In the end, Xu Zhiheng would not really trust He Wanru, and Mother Qin deliberately avoided the murder at the time. Therefore, apart from personal evidence, there is not much evidence for the time being. He Yan had to make a trip by herself. Although she is Wu’anhou, she has not yet established her contacts in the DPRK. Her colleagues see her as a woman. Although she is flattering, she is actually contemptuous in her heart. There are really few classmates like Yanhe and Lin Shuanghe.

Fortunately, although Wu’anhou is not a good name, “Xiao Jue’s fiancee” is more convenient than He Yan imagined. As long as she moved out of Xiao Jue, most of her colleagues were still willing to sell her face. He Yan used Xiao Jue’s name to ask about the Fuyue Army.

Probing in this way, she really found some clues.

He Rufei has stayed in Shuojing and never left the city since he was in the prime of Wei’s peaceful and prosperous age. The war in Huayuan was He Rufei’s first battle on the battlefield a few years later. In this battle, the Fu Yue army led by He Rufei only won a tragic victory, and all his confidants died in battle. The lieutenant who was a little closer to He Rufei never survived.

Most of the small soldiers who survived that battle were ordinary soldiers who had no access to war secrets.

However, even if this is the case, there are still some secret rumors circulating.

“The general on that day was very different from before. It seems that he still had a dispute with the military division, but the military division had already died in the Huayuan World War. It’s wise. But the general has been standing still, and finally gave the Utuo a chance.”

“However, maybe we are worrying too much. The general has gone through a lot of battles, so naturally it’s not something I waited for the soldier to figure out what I wanted.” The soldier added.

Because General Feihong’s name was too loud, no one would doubt his tactics, let alone his loyalty. It’s just that He Yan knew well that He Rufei had deliberately let those people go to death. He Rufei had never brought a soldier before. In the battle of Huayuan, he was able to wipe out his most valued subordinates and retreat. There is no such reason in the world, unless… he had been with Wu for a long time. The trustee colluded secretly.

Thinking about it this way, He Yan noticed that when she pretended to be He Rufei at night to burn the grain and grass in the Utuo camp, Utuo General Huyate’s reaction was also very intriguing.

If He Rufei wanted to protect his identity from being exposed, he would not hesitate to seek skin with a tiger and betray the monarch, this crime would never be forgiven.

Thinking of this in her heart, she had already walked to the door of her house unknowingly. As soon as she walked in, Qingmei saw her and hurriedly said, “Girl, you can come back.”

“What’s the matter?” He Yan asked strangely. Since her identity was exposed, He Yan asked Xiao Jue to evacuate Chiwu Bairi and come back at night. A good guard could never guard her and do nothing, so after Chiwu left, Qingmei went back to the past. It’s rare to see her so flustered.

“Someone is here,” Qingmei whispered, “I said I was looking for a girl…”

As soon as the voice fell, He Yan heard a familiar voice: “Big Brother!”

When she looked back, she saw a teenager in yellow with red lips and white teeth running up in the hall, walking around her twice with surprise, “Big brother, I didn’t expect you to be a woman!”

Qingmei kindly reminded: “Little son, our girl is a woman.”

He Yan didn’t expect Cheng Lisu to come to his own home. It seemed that it was a long time since I saw him last time. The boy has grown a little taller, but the flying between his eyebrows is still the same.

“Why are you here?” He Yan asked.

“I sneaked out today while my family didn’t pay attention.” Cheng Lisu said with a bitter face: “I was caught and went to school after I returned to Beijing from Liangzhouwei. I had no freedom at all. I heard about my eldest brother before. When you go back to Beijing, I want to come over and have a look, but the discipline in the school is strict and I can’t get out. After I went back, I heard that you were a woman and became my uncle’s fiancée, eldest brother! How did this happen? What? How did you become a woman?”

It’s been so long, but he didn’t expect anyone to be entangled in this matter. He Yan reluctantly said, “I was a woman. At that time, it was only forced by the situation. I had no choice but to pretend to be a man and enter the military camp. When I returned to the capital, my identity was natural. Uncover, I misunderstood you before, sorry.”

As soon as the voice fell, I heard another voice saying: “So, you have admitted that you are a lie?”

He Yan was startled and saw Song Taotao coming out from behind. The little girl is more delicate and charming now than when she was in Liangzhouwei. The Song family probably loves this daughter very much. The face of the pink jade carving is different, and the look is like an infatuated girl who has been abandoned by a grief.

“Tao Tao?” He Yan looked at Cheng Lisu, “Are you here together?”

Cheng Lisu rolled his eyes, “Who wants to come with her? When I came to look for my eldest brother, I happened to meet this shrew at the door.”

Song Taotao walked in front of He Yan with a complicated expression. He looked up and down at He Yan before speaking bitterly, “You really are a woman.”

He Yan: “…”

To talk about the little girl’s mind, He Yan didn’t notice it from beginning to end, that’s impossible. After all, this child is pure and sincere, and all his thoughts are written on his face. A fool can see his undisguised admiration and goodwill. It’s just that when he was in Liangzhouwei, He Yan’s identity could not be explained, nor could he remind the child that she was a woman and could not marry Song Taotao as his wife.

Now that he was called to the door, He Yan was inexplicably guilty, feeling like a stinky man who cheated the young girl’s innocent feelings.

“I…” She carefully considered her words, yet she hadn’t figured out what to say so as not to hurt Song Taotao’s fragile girl’s heart.

Song Taotao felt aggrieved, and it has been a long time since he learned that He Yan was a woman. But Song Taotao couldn’t convince himself, he had to see He Yan in person before he would believe it. Today, I was able to convince my parents and took my family to go out. I didn’t expect to meet Cheng Lisu this unlucky guy. Forget it. At this moment, seeing the slim and heroic appearance of the woman in front of him, Song Taotao finally had to accept a heavy reality.

He Yan is indeed a woman, even a good-looking woman.

How could such a woman feel like a man at the time! He was still thinking about ending his marriage contract with Cheng Lisu and marrying each other!

“Blame you,” Song Taotao was accustomed to being habitual, panicked in his heart, and vented all his anger on He Yan, “You are so good, what are you going to do to Liangzhou Guard to deceive people!”

“Sorry, sorry,” He Yan was careful to apologize to the child, “I didn’t mean it.”

“Why didn’t you do it on purpose?” Song Taotao became more angry and more aggrieved, and stared at He Yan aggressively. You, you dominate the light!”

He Yan couldn’t say: “I…”

“it was all your fault!”

“Enough.” Another voice came in. He Yan looked back. He Yunsheng walked in with a cloth bag on his back and stood in front of He Yan, facing Song Taotao with a cold face: “Who are you? Who allows you to be presumptuous to my sister in my house?”

He Yan is one of the first two adults, come on, now except for her and Qingmei, the three bear children in this room, the scene is really embarrassing.

“Yun Sheng, this is Miss Song Er, this is Young Master Cheng, who are all friends I know in Liangzhouwei.” She said to Song Taotao and the others: “This is my brother, He Yunsheng.”

“Friend?” He Yunsheng glanced at Song Taotao, and said displeased: “How can a friend be so aggressive, He Yan, I told you already, don’t be friends with everyone.”

Song Taotao was stunned for a moment. He Yunsheng’s appearance was so sudden that she didn’t react for a while. Hearing what He Yan said at this moment, he focused his attention on He Yunsheng again. In fact, He Yunsheng is somewhat similar to He Yan, but not as warm as He Yan and Hexu. Everyone always smiles. He was a head taller than He Yan, and the handsome and indifferent young man standing here was quite eye-catching.

A man who has some similarities with He Yan’s eyebrows but a completely different temperament…man?

It felt so strange, Song Taotao stared at him blankly, but forgot to reply.

He Yan grabbed He Yunsheng’s arm fiercely, and whispered in his ear: “This is a girl, can you not be so fierce?”

“I don’t care if he is a girl or a man,” He Yunsheng frowned, “Speaking to you like this, when I die?”

The dead child is really getting more and more rebellious. He Yan said to her heart. She guessed that Song Taotao was yelled at, afraid that she was about to cry, and hadn’t figured out how to comfort the crying little girl. Cheng Lisu had already surrounded her in surprise again. Grabbing He Yunsheng’s hand: “You are my elder brother’s younger brother, that is my brother! My name is Cheng Lisu, Brother He, are you just leaving school?”

When did He Yunsheng meet such a self-acquaintance, he immediately took a step back, freed Cheng Lisu’s hand, and frowned, “Who is your eldest brother?”

“That’s your sister!” Cheng Lisu answered naturally. He seemed to feel wrong as soon as he spoke, so he changed his words quickly: “It seems that you shouldn’t be called the eldest brother now, so is it also called the elder sister? No, my eldest brother is my uncle. My fiancée, in this case, I should be called my aunt!”

He raised his head to face He Yan, and called out in a full tone: “Auntie!”

He Yan: “…”

How inexplicable, she has such a big nephew.

That’s not even counted, Cheng Lisu looked at He Yunsheng again, “You are my aunt’s brother, then I should be called…Uncle? Uncle He!”

Both the He family siblings were shocked by Cheng Lisu’s naturally climbing relative. Even Song Taotao couldn’t see it, and scolded: “What are you screaming nonsense? Be careful that Governor Xiao heard it, and I’ll settle the account with you.”

“I didn’t scream. Sooner or later it was my aunt.” Cheng Lisu didn’t think there was anything wrong with being shorter, and said happily: “In the future, I will have two more relatives, aunt and uncle, I haven’t eaten yet. , How about dinner together?”

He Yunsheng couldn’t bear it, so he rushed to Heyan and said, “Who are you making friends with?” He turned around and walked away.

He Yan: “…”

I can’t blame her, it’s really a kid like Cheng Lisu, who has never played cards according to common sense. She smiled and looked at Song Taotao: “Has Tao Tao eaten? Do you want to eat together?”

I thought that Xiao Nizi was here to ask the teacher today, but this time it was not too pleasant to meet. The spoiled Miss Song Er may not be used to eating in this crude house. I didn’t expect Song Tao to have a meal. Nodded casually: “Okay.”

He Yan was really frightened.

What’s going on today, one or two of the cards are not played according to common sense?

But since everyone has stayed, a meal is still to be taken out. It’s just that the He family’s food is clean and simple, and fearing that it won’t suit the taste of the young masters, He Yan ordered the silver and asked Qingmei to go out and buy some side dishes.

When He Sui returned, he was shocked by the people in this room. After hearing that it was He Yan’s friend in Liangzhouwei, he immediately greeted him with a smile, just as a familiar junior. Everyone ate at a table, except Song Taotao was silent and He Yunsheng had a stinky face all the time, they got along fairly well. He Sui always wanted to know how He Yan had been defending in Liangzhou, but it was not easy to keep asking Xiao Jue, now that there is a ready-made candidate, of course he will not miss the great opportunity.

Cheng Lisu is also a talkative. As long as He Sui asks, he knows everything and talks endlessly. He Yan suspects that he can remember how many dry cakes he ate every meal in Liangzhouwei.

However, thanks to the blessing of this group of children, the dull mood of inquiring about the affairs of the Fuyue Army in the daytime has also relieved a lot.

After the meal, He Yan sent them out. Song Taotao and Cheng Lisu both brought their own carriage and family. Cheng Lisu was only a short meal time, as if it had become a year-end relationship with He Sui, and they had already arranged the time for the next meal. He Yan sent them away easily, and then left the house.

Outside the door, Song Taotao got into her carriage, and the maid beside her cautiously asked, “Miss, you have also met Miss He today. In the future, you won’t be arguing about breaking off your marriage contract with Young Master Cheng, right?”

The sweetheart is a woman, which is naturally impossible. After this, what reason does Song Taotao have to regret marriage?

Song Taotao said nonchalantly: “I admire Governor Xiao very much. It is my blessing to be able to get married with him. However, I never thought of being his nephew and daughter-in-law.”

The maid was stunned, she didn’t quite understand what Song Taotao meant.

Song Taotao lowered his head, remembering the face of the boy in Tsing Yi he had just seen, and quietly pursed his lips.

She originally thought about being Xiao Jue’s sister-in-law, but Xiao Jing has already married, but now that she thinks about it, being Xiao Jue’s younger siblings seems pretty good.
