Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 90

Chapter 90

The horse galloped in the silent night. After an unknown period of time, He Yan took the reins and stopped the horse.

This is an empty market, and the vendors have already returned home. The hard-tempered girl has been shaking since she got on the carriage. At this moment, it seems that the medicine has passed a little bit, and she can speak. She is soft and weak, and said: “Let go of me.”

He Yan helped her down and sat down in front of a tofu shop.

Just now he was in a hurry, and didn’t take a serious look at what the girl gave birth to. The faint light of the lantern hung under the eaves of the tofu shop made it clear that the girl was really beautiful. It is delicate and soft, white and tender, with delicate eyebrows, but the cheeks are a little fleshy, and it looks a little childish. It should be young, at least about the same as Cheng Lisu.

Just such a little girl, who was dressed up by the people of Wanhua Pavilion, was wearing an inappropriate tulle dress, heavy makeup, and shivering coldly.

As soon as she sat down, the girl shrank back and looked at He Yan with a vigilant look: “Who are you?”

He Yan was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, thinking that this girl about to recognize herself as a flower picker. He pulled off the towel and said with a smile: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you. It’s just that it was inconvenient to show up just now, so I covered your face with a cloth towel. Didn’t you scare you?”

Under the moonlight, the young man who had torn off the cloth towel had delicate eyebrows and softly spoken softly, teaching people to gradually let go of their guards.

“How do you know…” She was still a little difficult to speak, He Yan took out a paper ball from her sleeve: “The one you threw out was picked up by me. I heard people say that Wanhua Pavilion is a prostitution business. Hidden in the teahouse next to Wanhua Pavilion, follow along with your carriage.”

He Yan looked at the girl: “Are you okay? Didn’t they hurt you?”

It’s okay not to say this. When she said this, the girl’s eyes flushed, and she stretched out her hand trembling, but she saw the scary swelling of her ten fingers, and she didn’t know what had been caught.

The girls in the brothel, especially the newcomers, even if they don’t understand the rules, the mother will not use the method that will leave marks on the body. After all, the girl still has to go out to entertain guests. If her body is blue and purple, and the appetite of the guests is lost, the gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, I came up with this kind of torture method.

He Yan looked a little distressed. Whose daughter was so ruined, his parents would be heartbroken. She softened her voice a bit and asked, “Girl, where is your home? I’ll take you home first.”

“Home?” The girl was stunned for a moment, looked at He Yan, and then replied after a long while: “My home is in Shuojing…”

“Suo Jing?” Now it’s He Yan’s turn to froze, “Are you kidnapped?”

“Forget it.” The little girl said: “I am, I escaped from marriage. I wanted to go to Yangzhou, but I got the wrong direction and came to Liangzhou. I only wanted to stay in Liangzhou for a few days and then leave. Sun Ling saw it.” She bitterly said: “If I return to Shuojing, I will definitely make them look good!” At the end, she almost gritted her teeth.

He Yan: “…”

The little girl looked soft and weak, and she was too courageous. Do you dare to run from Shuojing to Liangzhou? What’s the matter, the teenagers in the capital are now fleeing marriage, right? This is true of Cheng Lisu, and so is this little girl right now.

He Yan said, “Are you here alone? Where do you know people in Liangzhou?”

The little girl shook her head.

He Yan was also in trouble, such a big person, is it going to take her back to the inn? Xiao Jue shouldn’t beat herself to death, although they will go to Sun Zhixian for a banquet in a few days, although she only intercepted someone from Sun Zhixian’s son tonight.

The little girl seemed to see He Yan’s embarrassment, she sat up with difficulty, she was quite spine, bit her lip and said: “You…you don’t care about me, then I will just hide by myself. Your great kindness is great. De, when I return to Shuojing, I will let my parents repay you. Whatever you want, gold and silver jewelry, mansion beauties, you can. What is your name, I will go back…”

“Little girl, you can’t protect yourself now,” He Yan said, “It’s hard to say whether you can get out of Liangzhou City, so don’t mention things that are so far away.”

“So what?” The other party avoided her gaze and said with red eyes: “I won’t beg you anyway.”

The young masters and ladies who came from Dashujingli are all very temperamental. He Yan thought, being stout is a good thing, but just after Yizhe is not so good, if Cheng Lisu is here, he can bend and stretch, afraid that if he enters the Wanhua Pavilion, he will be able to save a lot of skin and flesh.

He Yan pulled her up: “Let’s go?”

“Where to go?”

“Of course I went to my place. This girl,” He Yan said helplessly, “I just robbed you. I want to come soon, and Master Sun will search for you in the whole city. It’s such a big night, you have nothing to do. Go anywhere. In the end, Sun Ling hasn’t found him. He will only torture you even harder. I have worked hard all night. Is it because of this result?”

The little girl didn’t have much strength yet, and was supported by He Yan on the horse, with a hesitant tone: “If you take me home, it will cause you trouble. The Sun family is in Liangzhou with only one hand covering the sky, you…”

This little girl had a clear mind in her heart, and He Yan drove the horse and said, “Don’t worry, my family is still covering the sky in Dawei.”

If it doesn’t work, I will move Xiao Jue out. The second son of Xiao, isn’t he just covering the sky with Dawei.

He Yan asked, “I forgot to ask you, what is your name?”

“My name is… Tao Tao,” she said.

Tao Tao? This name sounds familiar, as if he has heard it somewhere. He Yan thought about it carefully, but couldn’t remember it. The situation is urgent now, and it’s not the time to fool around. Wait for Tao Tao to return to the inn, and then ask more carefully after tonight.

…

He Yan didn’t grow up in Liangzhou City, nor did he know the roads of Liangzhou City. Fortunately, she was used to remembering the way well, so she found the inn where she came. For fear that people would find Sun Ling’s horse here, they dismounted with Tao Tao far in front of the inn, patted the horse’s butt in the opposite direction, and watched the horse run into the night.

The second son of Xiao is quite good at picking the inn. This place is not as lively as the previous Wanhua Pavilion area, and it looks much quieter. At the moment, it is late at night and there are almost no people. When He Yan helped Tao Tao upstairs, there was no one downstairs in the inn. She opened the door and found that Fei Nu was not there, and she was relieved.

There is water in the room, and He Yan said: “You wash your face first, I have some clean clothes here, and you can change it. It won’t work if you wear this one on your body, you will catch a cold.” She gave Cheng Lisu to his one. Put all the clothes in Tao Tao’s hands, “You pick the ones you like to wear.”

Tao Tao looked at her, blushing, “You go out.”

He Yan then remembered that he was now a man, and said: “Well, I will go out. I will guard at the door. You can change with peace of mind.”

After she closed the door, she thought for a while, then slipped out of Xiao Jue’s house, attached her ears to her head, and wanted to hear if Xiao Jue was there.

The light in the room has gone out, I don’t know if Xiao Jue is asleep. He Yan whispered: “Captain, Captain?”

No one responded, she reached out and knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. He Yan stood up straight, hesitated for a moment, and opened the door.

The windows in the room were not closed, and the wind from outside leaked in, looking at the moonlight, the bed was neat and tidy, and there were no traces of sleep. Xiao Jue is no longer there, and the Yin Qiu Sword he put on the table is no longer there. This man didn’t leave his sword, he wanted to come out.

He Yan also noticed that there was still the familiar Wanxiangqin on the small table next to him. He Yan curled his lips, slandering in his heart, saying that he was here to repair the piano, but in fact, he must be doing a secret thing in Liangzhou City. Feinu was not there either. The master and servant must have gone out to do errands. They didn’t take her at all, which made it clear that they didn’t trust her.

Although I knew that Xiao Jue didn’t trust him for a long time, and knew that this was reasonable, He Yan still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Anyway, they were also classmates, they had known each other for so many years, and she would not tell others when they went out to do things! It’s stingy.

She exited Xiao Jue’s room again and closed the door to him again.

On the other end, Tao Tao had already changed his clothes, pushed the door open, saw He Yan, bowed his head and said, “I changed it.”

He Yan pushed her in, “hush”, “The wall has ears, come in and talk.”

She lit the lamp in the room and Tao Tao changed into Cheng Lisu’s clothes, looking much more delicate. Cheng Lisu’s clothes are mostly bright colors, and the satin-colored robe is worn on the little girl, making the little girl more fair and beautiful. Her eyes were still red, and her hair was scattered on her shoulders. She was obediently like the snow-white bunny that He Yan had seen. At first glance, she was a pampered, well-bred girl.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that, but your taste in clothes is really terrible.” The little rabbit said, it was not so cute. Tao Tao frowned and pointed to a carp on his clothes, “It’s so gaudy.”

He Yan: “…”

When is this young lady, she still has the thought of observing clothes? Is it true that all the eldest ladies from Shuo Jing are like this? He Yan wondered if he wasn’t like this before. She coughed lightly and said, “It’s too much for you right now, so Ms. Tao Tao should slow down the clothes thing first.”

She handed Cheng Lisu’s box of hairpins over: “Choose one that you don’t think is so gaudy, and tie your hair up. You can’t dress up as a woman right now.”

“Why?” Tao Tao puzzled.

“Sun Ling should send someone over soon and search for women in the city who look similar to you. We are not immune.”

Tao Tao became nervous when he heard this, “What should I do?”

“Don’t worry, I figured out a way to get them away. It’s so late, haven’t you eaten? I have some dry food on the road here, and I will let the inn make you something hot to eat tomorrow morning. There is still tea here, it’s a little bit colder, you can do it yourself.”

Tao Tao touched his stomach, only to feel hungry, so he went to pour the tea in the teapot by himself. He Yan sighed when he saw this. This girl is really innocent. After going through the Wanhua Pavilion, she is still so easy to believe in others. If she doesn’t meet herself, she can be replaced by someone else who has evil intentions. If she is a little bit coaxed, she can administer medicine in the tea without tossing. Abducted.

Even though he had left the He family alone back then, he followed the Fuyue Army, so it wouldn’t be so dangerous. This world is always harder for women.

She thought to herself that this matter was originally intended to be kept secret from Xiao Jue, but now that Xiao Jue and Feinu are not there, it is not easy to handle it. Originally, she planned that if Sun Ling’s people came to the door and Xiao Jue was there, she wouldn’t be able to enter the house to check people. Now that there is no big Buddha and move out of Xiao Jue’s name, people probably thought she was lying.

I can only hope that Xiao Jue will come back sooner. He Yan never realized that for a moment, he was looking forward to the return of Xiao Er Young Master.

Tao Tao casually ate a few mouthfuls of dry cakes, drank a cup of tea, and said: “Don’t eat anymore.” This “don’t eat anymore”, judging from the expression on her wrinkled nose, it must not be because she is full, but because she is not fit. Her taste.

She sat down at the table by herself, tied her hair in the bronze mirror, combed for a moment, turned around and said, “Okay!”

He Yan also felt a little thirsty at this moment, took a cup and was drinking tea, and almost didn’t spray the tea. The child’s hair was tied up in a mess, as if he had just returned from an escape. She couldn’t help asking: “You… is your hair tied?”

“I didn’t comb my hair before in the mansion. The maid did it for me.” The little girl was so aggrieved that she threw the comb away, “I won’t!”

He Yan: “…”

She walked over helplessly, picked up the comb with a good temper, and said: “If you don’t, you won’t, if you get angry, I’ll help you.”

After that, he really held Tao Tao’s long hair in his hand and combed her hair one at a time.

Tao Tao was taken aback. The young boy reflected in the bronze mirror was gentle and handsome. She couldn’t help asking, “You can even do this?”

“Try it a few more times.” He Yan replied with a smile.

She has been the young master of the He family for many years, but no one knows about the change of status except for the people in the second room of the He family. Therefore, He Yan’s servants and maids had never been too close to her. Even the matter of tying the hair can be exposed. So He Yan started to tie her hair from a very young age.

Not only the hair, but anything that might reveal a secret, she has to do it herself. Over time, he also developed a temperament to do everything by himself. Although sometimes I am envious of those young masters who have grown up in the palm of my hand, but after thinking about it, for example, she will not cry when encountering things like this today. For many things, she is more confident on her own. .

After finishing her hair, He Yan darkened her face and her eyebrows became thicker. She is already very comfortable doing this kind of woman disguising as a man. After putting on makeup, Tao Tao looked at herself in the mirror and said in a daze: “Many, thank you… you are really good craftsman.”

He Yan slapped his hands, “Practice makes perfect. Girl Tao Tao, turn your back and I have to change clothes.”

…

Liangzhou City tonight is really lively.

Someone actually robbed Sun Shaoye’s carriage not far from the Sunzhi county mansion. The person in the carriage was Sun Shaoye Xinna’s concubine, and for a while, Liangzhou Prefecture’s yaji jumped around and vowed to catch the culprit.

“Master, Master, that person is clearly her lover!” The guard who had only received He Yan’s punch before was kneeling on the ground and shouting injustice, “They are in the same group, and they deliberately took her away!”

“She’s not from Liangzhou at all, where did her lover come from?” Sun Ling kicked it over, “idiot!”

Sun Ling stands at thirty now, accomplishing nothing, pointing to his magistrate father to live his life, bullying men and women in Liangzhou City, and doing no evil. He was born with a rabbit head and a brain, with a black birthmark on his cheek, which is even more terrifying. There are countless concubines in his house, and countless women from good families who have been insulted and discarded by him. The people of Liangzhou dare not speak, and allow his father and son to cover the sky in the city.

Today, Hu was cut off on the way home. Women are small, but shame is big. For Sun Ling, this is naked and doesn’t put their Sun family in his eyes!

“The city gates are now sealed off.” Another guard said: “The woman was injured and should still be in the city. Door-to-door inspections can always find out whereabouts!”

“Idiot,” Sun Ling scolded again, “The people in Liangzhou city are so bold and dare to make ground on Tai Sui! Since you said that the man knew that it was the person I wanted, Sun Ling dared to do it, naturally. People who do not know how to live or die. Most of them are not from Liangzhou.”

“That woman is not from Liangzhou either, they may be in the same group!” The previous guard said again.

“Whether he is a group or not, dare to fight against my Sun’s family, you must be prepared for life and death! You say it again, how does that person look like?”

“He was covered in his face and couldn’t see what he looked like. He was about seven feet shorter than me, thin and thin, but he wore very rich and expensive. The material of his clothes didn’t look like ordinary goods.” The guard twisted. Reminiscences, “In short, it should not be a poor person.”

Sun Ling thought for a moment and said, “I see.”

The two guards looked at him together.

“The people in the city continue to block the gates, and the remaining big heads, follow me to check the inn!”

“Inn? Master, why is this?”

Sun Ling scolded, “A stupid stupid is a stupid, and I don’t want to think about it. Since most of them are not from Liangzhou, they just live in an inn! You said that this person is dressed richly, and it is impossible to live in a crude inn. Look for those who are good and expensive. Isn’t it the inn?”

“So that’s it,” the two guards quickly praised: “Master is wise, Master is wise!”

“Humph,” Sun Ling smiled triumphantly. The birthmark on his cheek looked even more terrifying. He surveyed and said: “In Liangzhou city, I have never seen such a person who is not afraid of death. I want to see if it is. Who is so bold. And that slut, who really doesn’t know how to praise, repeats this twice, I’m afraid I don’t know how good I am.”

“Don’t let go of one!”

…

The night in the city seemed to be illuminated by torches. It was supposed to be the hour of bedtime, every household was awakened by the sound of horseshoes, and the government officials and the city guards rushed into the civilian’s house and interrogated them one by one.

It stands to reason that this shouldn’t be the case, but Sun’s abuse of private power is no longer a day or two. Hearing that Sun Ling’s concubine was taken away, many people secretly scolded.

“Bah, nonsense, where did the little concubine grow into that respectable face, even if the wealth of the Wanguan family won’t look down upon him, she must be the innocent girl who went to kidnap, how is this behavior different from robbers? Who dares to do it in the night?”

“But isn’t the person taken abducted? This is the righteous man who couldn’t stand it and made the move.”

“If you really are a righteous man, I will pray to the Bodhisattva for his safety and health every day, and don’t be caught by the surname Sun!”

“Hey, the world has changed.”

Naturally, these voices did not dare to blatantly appear in front of the officers and soldiers, only to whisper after the people left, and they dispersed into the night very quickly without a trace.

The inns in the city were all caught up tonight. The shopkeeper and the staff, as well as the guests upstairs, were all pulled out for investigation. If it seems to be from a wealthy family, it is even more careful. The search in the house will not let go of even a fly.

He Yan was sitting by the bed, the light was off, only a little moonlight came in through the window. It was late at night, and Xiao Jue and Feinu hadn’t come back. She thought to herself, will these two people not come back? Just like those poor families who can’t afford to support extra children, they take their youngest sons to the crowded streets and lie to the children to buy sweets. In a blink of an eye, people disappear and leave their flesh and blood on the side of the road.

Did Xiao Jue abandon her? Then she is too pitiful! There is only such a small amount of money on him, and the room in the inn will have to be settled tomorrow, eat, and go back to the Liangzhou health center. Is this something that humans can do? If that is the case, she will sell the evening violin next door tomorrow. He Yan thought wildly, whether this person will come back, if not, she and Tao Tao will happen to share a room tonight, and there will be no waste.

As he was thinking, Tao Tao, who was also sitting on the side of the cavern, whispered: “You won’t run away, will you?”

“Huh?” He Yan was surprised.

“They said that Sun Ling is very powerful in Liangzhou and everyone is afraid of the power of the Sun family. I have asked for help with many people before. When those people heard that it was Sun Ling, no one dared to help.”

Tao Tao said this with an angry expression. She was living in Wanhua Pavilion at the time, and it was not calculated from the beginning. Struggling on the road, follow the opportunity to ask for help. She found a lot of people, some seemingly tall and powerful, and some scholars who were full of politeness and shame. There are old wealthy businessmen who can be her father, and knights who wander around with knives on their backs. She tried her best to find people who seemed to be able to rescue her, but when they heard that it was the person Sun Ling wanted, they walked away with their tails in grief. Even though she promised a daughter and revealed her identity, no one took care of her.

In the end, Tao Tao himself was desperate. When the note was thrown out, she never thought that there would be tomorrow. Just thinking about seeing Sun Ling, I would die with him. Who knows, at the last minute, someone rushed out.

She turned her head to look at the person next to her. The young man tilted her head and didn’t know what she was thinking. It was strange that even those who seemed weak and young would have an inexplicable sense of security. Maybe it was the soft smile on her face, or her clear and dustless eyes.

Tao Tao believed this man inexplicably, but he was a little worried. She said: “A strong dragon can’t beat a local snake…”

“Do you still know this?” He Yan smiled, “Actually, I am also a local snake, I am very powerful.”

Seeing her expression relaxed, Tao Tao relaxed a little. She looked at He Yan and couldn’t help but ask the last question. She asked: “The Sun family is so domineering, you are not from Liangzhou, and I don’t know if I save it, I will recruit. What kind of trouble. They didn’t dare to take action, why would you save me?”

This kid, why are there so many questions. He Yan tilted her head and saw the little girl looking at her with red eyes, curious and expectant, she couldn’t help reaching out and touching her head.

“Because you are a woman.” She said silently in her heart: “And I am also a woman.”

…

The noise surrounded the whole inn.

The night was bright red by the fire, and the people up and down the inn were all awakened by the sudden officials, standing at the door and questioning them one by one.

Sun Ling stood at the door, looking at the last room upstairs, and said, “Where is that room? Why don’t you open the door?”

The shopkeeper tremblingly knocked on the door: “Little boy, little boy?”

After a long while, someone came to open the door procrastinatingly. He was a delicate young man wearing a shirt and said with sleepy eyes: “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”

Before the word was over, the officers and soldiers went in and searched. There is also a book boy in the room, busy putting clothes on the boy: “Master, don’t catch the cold.”

The officers and soldiers went in and searched, but they came out very quickly and shook their heads at Sun Ling.

Sun Ling looked at the boy in front of him. This boy was young and looked respectable. His book boy was busy putting on boots for him.

“What are you doing?” He Yan frowned, “Don’t say hello.”

“Hello?” Sun Ling sneered, “Joke, Liangzhou City has no place where I need my Sun Ling to say hello.” He looked at He Yan, remembering what the guard had said before, he was about seven feet tall and thin. This boy is just like that.

“What’s your name?” he asked.

“Cheng Lisu.” He Yan replied.

With a “pop”, the boots in the book boy’s hands fell to the ground. Everyone followed their gazes. Sun Ling’s expression changed and suddenly said, “You, raise your head.”

He was referring to the book boy.

He Yan had a bad heart, and asked, “What are you doing? In broad daylight, the world is bright, and you still want to rob me?”

“Your people?” Sun Ling stared at him with dark eyes, “Don’t speak too early. The one on the ground, raise your head for this young master!”

The people on the ground did not move, lowered their heads, and looked carefully, their hands were still trembling.

Upon seeing this, Sun Ling’s expression became more and more ferocious, and he took a step forward to pull the book boy’s hair. The next moment, He Yan stood in front of the book boy, and she held Sun Ling’s arm: “Master, pay attention to your words and deeds.”

“The assassin who snatched this young master and concubine is you, right?” Sun Ling laughed, his birthmark was like a demon tattoo, “You are dead!” He said, “Come here, get me both of them!”

“Catch me?” He Yan smiled, and she said, “I advise you to think twice. Do you know who my uncle is?”

Sun Ling asked: “Who is your uncle?”

“My uncle is the present-day Majesty who proclaimed General Fengyun, and now the chief of Youjun, the second son of Xiao. Master Sun, are you sure you want to catch me?” He Yan raised his eyebrows.

Sun Ling was taken aback, and burst into laughter a moment later. Tears of his laughter were about to come out. He pointed to He Yan and asked people around him: “Have you heard that, who did he say his uncle is?”

Everyone around laughed.

“Smelly boy,” Sun Ling stopped laughing and stared at He Yan fiercely: “Since your uncle is Xiao Jue, let him come out! What happened to Xiao Jue? I’m in front of your uncle today. There is no way for you to survive!”

“Yes?”

An unfamiliar voice sounded from behind him.

Sun Ling looked back and saw that the young man, who was as bright as the moon, followed the guard slowly, with a low voice and a cold mockery.

“You might as well give it a try.”
