Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 31

Chapter 31

The spring is coming to an end, and even the rain has begun to feel the summer heat.

At the end of the last day of conscription, the long ledgers for filling in paperwork at the racecourse have been put away, replaced by countless small ledgers. The new recruits who had bid farewell to their families had already assembled, and they only waited tonight, and set off for Liangzhou early the next morning.

The tent was very small and a few people squeezed in, barely okay. He Yan and Hong Shan sat next to each other, Hong Shan led a slightly larger tent, because neither of them had much luggage, so they were quite spacious when they sat up. From last night to tonight, He Yan has been here for a whole day.

There will be steamed buns, two at a meal, and more will be sent when Liangzhou is settled down. The rest was nothing, but it was inconvenient to go to the hut. He Yan had to wait until the night was quiet and no one was going to go there secretly.

She just came out of the hut, walked to her tent, and lifted the tent, and there were two more people inside. Hong Shan was talking to them. Hearing the movement, the two men looked back.

Probably a pair of brothers, they look a bit similar, black and thin, with a pretty handsome look, they are not very old, the older one is about sixteen or seventeen, and the younger one looks about the same size as He Yunsheng. . The older one should be the elder brother, taciturn, and the younger one is probably the younger brother. He smiled when he saw He Yan and asked familiarly, “This elder brother is…”

“This is your brother Ahe,” Hong Shan helped He Yan recognize a younger brother, and said to He Yan: “These are the two new brothers who are here today. They have no accounts outside, just stay here with us. Squeeze.” He pointed to the reticent boy, “This is a rock.” Then he pointed to the naive boy with a simple smile, “This is wheat.”

Stone, wheat, these are probably a pair of poor brothers, otherwise a better family should be given a good name.

He Yan found a place to sit down, there were two more people, and the tent suddenly seemed a bit crowded.

“Are you from Beijing?” He Yan asked as he felt a little thirsty, and took a sip from the water bottle at his waist.

Stone is not talkative, but his younger brother Mai is very lively. He said: “We live on the Xianghuai Mountain and we usually hunt and live. When we went down the mountain last time, we saw that we were conscripting. My brother discussed with me and joined the army. ”

It was originally an Orion family on the mountain.

“Maybe your parents will join the army?” Hong Shan asked. Generally speaking, it is the poor in the family who join the army, and the two sons will not be allowed to join the cast. They always leave a way out for the family.

“My father and mother are long gone, my brother and I grew up together.”

Hong Shan sighed, “Then you should spare your life. It’s okay to run to cast some army, it’s not fun to join the army. Wouldn’t you be…” He slurred his mouth in the direction of He Yan, “also thinks like him. Make a contribution, right?”

“A big man should make meritorious deeds,” Mai Mai was innocent, and said again, “Furthermore, this time I took the troops to Liangzhou, and the commander was the Commander of the Youjun Xiaodu. My brother and I have admired him for a long time and can follow him. It is our honor to do things!”

He Yan was listening to them while drinking water, and he almost choked himself when he heard the “poof” spit of water.

Several people in the tent looked at her.

“You said, who is the commander going to Liangzhou?” she asked.

Mai Mai thought that she didn’t know the “Duke Xiao”, so he explained it specifically, “This is the current General Feng Yun, Xiao Huaijin, the second son of the Xiao family.”

He Yan’s heart trembled.

How could Xiao Jue go to Liangzhou as a commander? His official position does not have to be this way. Besides, he has soldiers and horses himself, so why take a recruit to Liangzhou. Unless he is demoted.

Xiao Jue was demoted?

…

Xiao family in Beijing.

The Xiao family’s house was specially repaired according to his wife’s preferences when General Xiao was alive. In later generations, the Xiao family did not change the layout of the courtyard. Therefore, although it is a family of military commanders, the courtyard is as elegant and chic as a small courtyard in Suzhou.

Passing through the flower wall is the main house. There is a pomegranate tree next to the main house. Before it bears fruit, looking through the window, you can see that the yellow pine wooden shelves are full of books. Someone is sitting at the table and reading.

The young students are fair and beautiful, with an indifferent expression and a bit of laziness. Because they are casually dressed in their own house, they are more heroic and graceful, with a clouded brocade and green jade belt. There is a saber hung on the wall, the color is like frost and snow, and it is crystal clear. Although it is not out of the sheath, it is dignified.

The door was pushed open and someone came in.

The man is a male and a female. The man born is seven points similar to Xiao Jue, but he is not as cold as Xiao Jue, and has a softer and clearer air. He is the eldest brother of Xiao Jue and his mother. Jing. Following Xiao Jing is his wife, Bai Rongwei. Although she is not stunning, she is also a beautiful, beautiful and dignified lady with white teeth.

The couple stood together, like a pair of people, pleasing to the eye.

“Huaijin,” Bai Rongwei said, she put the package in Xiao Jing’s hand on the table, and said, “These are the shoes and clothes you have prepared when you go to Liangzhou. Try it later.”

Since the death of General Xiao and his wife, the Xiao family has only two brothers, Xiao Jing and Xiao Jue, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.

“Thank you Sister-in-law.” Xiao Jue nodded.

Bai Rong smiled and said, “You brothers speak, I’ll go and see if the soup is good.” After that, he retired.

After Bai Rongwei left, Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Jue for a while, but finally sighed and said, “Huai Jin, you really don’t need to go to Liangzhou.”

“Xu Jiefu has been targeting you frequently in the court recently, and is looking for trouble with the Xiao family.” Xiao Jue looked unwavering, only said, “The emperor listened to Xu Jingfu’s words, but I caused trouble in the capital. It’s okay to go to Liangzhou to stay away. Besides, there are many doubts about his father’s death that year. If there are clues this time, there may be new discoveries.”

Speaking of General Xiao’s death, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became dull.

After a long silence, Xiao Jing reached out and patted Xiao Jue on the shoulder, “You always think more than me, but I can’t do anything for you.”

“The situation that the eldest brother faces in the middle of the DPRK is much more complicated. When I am away, the Xiao family relies on the eldest brother.” Xiao Jue smiled and looked at Xiao Jing and said, “Big brother take care.”

“Take care, too.” Xiao Jing said with a lot of emotion, and Xu deliberately joked in order to relax the bitter atmosphere, “I didn’t want you to go to Liangzhou, but you have now reached the championship, and it’s time to make a marriage appointment. Do you like the girls your sister-in-law helped you see?”

Xiao Jue’s smile turned away when he heard the words, his expression became more plain and faded to a bit indifferent.

“No, I don’t plan to marry a wife.”
