Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 96

Chapter 96

At night, a platoon of officers and soldiers stood at the gate of Sun’s residence. It was unreasonable to use officers and soldiers to guard their own door. It’s just that Sun Xiangfu is like a frightened bird. All the servants in the house were checked one by one, and no doubts were found for the time being.

Youjun governor Xiao Jue and supervisory Yushi Yuan Baozhen live in the mansion. The two undercurrents under the calm were also noticed by Sun Xiangfu. He sat in the room and sighed. Sun Ling had already learned the ins and outs of the whole incident from the lower population, and said, “Father, why are you still worried about this matter?”

Sun Xiangfu didn’t fight with anger, “If it wasn’t for you to be troublesome and take those women back to the mansion, how could these things happen!”

“Father, I took them back to the mansion for my own use. I didn’t let you use them to entertain guests.” Sun Ling quit, rolled his eyes and said, “Now that there is a problem, how can you blame me? Those women really didn’t. Use, as long as you want to assassinate, you will succeed once, and you will die in vain, and you don’t know who will be cheaper?”

Before he could say anything, Sun Ling was covered by Sun Xiangfu, who was rushing over. Sun Xiangfu looked around and cursed: “You don’t want to die, say this!”

“I’m not wrong,” Sun Ling approached him and said in a low voice, “Father, don’t you like that Xiao Jue too much?”

Sun Xiangfu didn’t speak, is this a question whether he likes it or not? Compared to whether he likes Xiao Jue or not, he seems to be more worried about whether Xiao Jue likes him or not?

“I heard that there seems to be a discord between Governor Xiao and Lord Yuan. The two of them are fighting, you just have to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. That Lord Yuan is okay, and kind, you might as well help secretly, the enemy’s enemy. It’s just a friend.” Sun Ling said: “If something really goes wrong in the end, you get rid of Xiao Jue, and you have friendship with Lord Yuan, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

He believed that it made sense, and was slapped on the head by Sun Xiangfu. Sun Xiangfu scolded, “How can you say it is so simple? You haven’t seen this person today, Xiao Jue…” He thought about it. What, fear flashed in his eyes, “It’s not easy to deal with.”

…

Inside the house, the lights were dimly lit, and Yuan Baozhen sat at the table with a gloomy expression. The mediocre bodyguard stood behind him, his eyes blinking.

“Xiao Jue became suspicious of me.” After a while, Yuan Baozhen said: “Today is not going to happen, I’m afraid there is no chance.”

“How could he suspect you?” The guard, the man named Ding Yi said.

“I don’t know.” Thinking of what happened in Sun Xiangfu’s study just now, Yuan Baozhen was furious. Xiao Jue’s suspicion was blatant and his tone was arrogant, he didn’t know how to answer. He just came to Liangzhou City, and he had never interacted with Xiao Jue in the past. In any case, Xiao Jue should not be suspicious of him.

“Also, how could Cheng Lisu be blind?” Yuan Baozhen frowned, “This was also arranged in advance?”

Ding Yi shook his head: “I have never heard of it.”

Doubts are useless. Now the assassins are dead, and there is no one to live. Even if they are full of questions, no one can answer.

“That Cheng Lisu is a bit strange.” Ding Yi said, “If he hadn’t stopped him today, maybe Xiao Jue had already drunk the poisonous wine.”

When he reminded this, Yuan Baozhenfu remembered it again. At today’s banquet, when Xiao Jue raised his glass, Cheng Lisu’s abrupt and loud “don’t drink” made the assassins act in advance. If it hadn’t been for him to stop… it’s not such a dilemma right now.

“How does he know that the wine is poisonous…” Yuan Baozhen murmured. After a while, he rubbed the lamp holder of the oil lamp on the table, and said: “Since Xiao Jue and the others are in the house now, it is also our opportunity. I will try Cheng Lisu tomorrow. If this boy is really blind, maybe he can use him to tie Xiao Jue and save the country.”

…

He Yan didn’t know the undercurrent surging in these invisible places. At this moment, she was sitting in the house, fighting with Feinu for reasons.

After her eyes had problems, Xiao Jue summoned Feinu and stood in front of He Yan’s room. After all, there have been assassins in Sun’s Mansion before. Who knows if the maid’s Xiaosi will suddenly hide a few more people? He Yan was not at ease alone, with Feinu guarding him, which was much safer.

“Brother Feinu, go out, I can really do it myself.” He Yan had a headache.

“You can’t see with your eyes,” Feinu replied very rigidly, “Master let me guard you.”

“Then you just keep the door, you are going to be my personal maid, I am really very unwell.” He Yan replied seriously. “Can you go out?”

“Forgive me.”

“How can you be reasonable like your master?”

As soon as Xiao Jue arrived at the door, he heard such a sentence. He paused and stood at the door and said, “What happened?”

Feinu said: “Master…”

Before Feinu finished speaking, He Yan was already looking in the direction of the door, her eyes still covered with cloth strips, she was holding clothes or something in her hands, and said, “Is the uncle here? Feinu is crazy. , Help me take a bath!”

Feinu’s lips moved, as if a little speechless at her insulted expression, he explained: “He can’t see it, I’m afraid…”

“Uncle! You don’t know that I have a fiancée, and my body is icy and clean, so how can I be seen by others!” The boy’s voice was bright and clear, and the previous loneliness and panic had been wiped out, and he was accustomed to unreasonable appearance. “If I broke up because of your marriage, Brother Feinu, can you afford to pay for a fiancee of mine?” She muttered again, “You don’t have none of your own.”

Feinu: “…”

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said sarcastically: “Are you sure you won’t drown?”

The bathing bucket is placed behind the screen in the middle of the house. The water is not deep. I don’t know if the days in Sun’s Mansion are so extravagant, and there is a circle of petals on it. He Yan never used this delicate flower bath when she was a woman, but instead used it when she was a man.

“Uncle, did you forget that in Liangzhou, I could shoot the sparrow in the sky blindfolded, how could I drown?” He Yan said, “Don’t worry, besides, if I really become blind, I can’t Let people do things for me for the rest of my life. Uncle, you have this possibility, I’ll let it go.”

Feinu was speechless. He had seen many brothers in the Jiuqi Camp, and occasionally some of them had lack of arms and legs. Although they could live with a smile, they would be depressed for a while. He Yan was the fastest person he had ever seen to get out of this emotion. If it weren’t for the cloth strips on her face, it would make people wonder if she was really blind.

Seeing that she was full of air, Xiao Jue didn’t bother to pay attention to her. He only said to Feinu: “Come out.”

Feinu followed Xiao Jue out, the door was closed, and He Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

She did not untie the cloth strips, took off her clothes, went into the tub, and soaked her whole body in the water. If someone was here at this moment, she would be surprised. She did this like an ordinary person. She didn’t hesitate in her movements, as if she could see it.

The water temperature happens to be everywhere, and I have always been bathing in the river next to the guard. The river is cold and not as comfortable as it is right now. But even though he was comfortable, he didn’t dare to be greedy. The steaming water mist blurred her shadow, and the smile on He Yan’s face also relaxed.

I thought I was going to a banquet here, but I didn’t expect to stay here for a few more days. In this way, in addition to being invisible to the eyes, this way, as there are more people waiting around, you must be even more careful to prevent the identity of the woman from being exposed.

She still remembers Ding Yi’s last action at the banquet today, that vague finger bending movement, if she hadn’t been staring at Ding Yi, it would have been ignored. But just because she recognized Ding Yi, she knew that the little servant who rushed out to Xiao Jue was arranged by Ding Yi, so this matter became very strange.

Ding Yi used to be He Rufei’s servant, Yuan Baozhen was also a friend of He Rufei. Ding Yi colluded with the assassin at the banquet to assassinate Xiao Jue. In some ways, it might be He Rufei’s meaning. But why did He Rufei kill Xiao Jue?

When she was doing “He Rufei” in her previous life, she did not offend Xiao Jue’s well water, and she even worked as a classmate at Xianchang Pavilion, which was considered to have some friendship. Now that He Rufei is back to being who he was, and has not had any grudges with Xiao Jue in the past, why did he use such vicious methods to kill Xiao Jue?

Perhaps, she should go to Yuan Baozhen to talk.

…

At night, He Yan slept in the same room with Xiao Jue Feinu.

For fear of other assassins in Sun’s Mansion, they did not separate. However, there are many courtyards in the Sun’s Mansion, and this room is divided into an inner room and an outer room. In the inside, the second son of Xiao lived naturally, while in the outside, Fei Nu and He Yan slept on one side and collapsed. He Yan felt that such a sleeping method seemed to be protecting Xiao Jue, thinking that she was injured for Xiao Jue anyway.

But without thinking about it for long, He Yan fell asleep. He slept peacefully during this sleep. He Yan was awakened by Fei Slave early the next morning.

She sat up, her eyes were full of darkness, and subconsciously asked: “When is it?”

“Chen Shi.” Feinu replied.

“Oh.” He Yan went to touch the strip of cloth over her eyes again, and this time she untied it directly.

From darkness to light, if someone can see, he must squint his eyes to adapt, but He Yan just opened a pair of eyes, and he didn’t see any discomfort. Feinu’s heart sank and asked, “Can you see it?”

He Yan shook his head blankly.

There was silence.

“Maybe… it will be fine in a few days.” Feinu comforted awkwardly. He didn’t have much sympathy for He Yan, but he heard that at the night banquet last night, He Yan not only reminded Xiao Jue aloud, but also helped Xiao Jue deal with the assassin personally. Although this young man’s identity is suspicious, he has not harmed Xiao Jue so far.

“Is your uncle here?” He Yan asked.

“Master is out.”

He Yan nodded again, thought about it, and then covered his eyes with the cloth strip.

Feinu was surprised: “Why did you wear it again?” The herbal medicine has been used for a day, and it is not suitable. Today, He Yan didn’t make his eyes hurt either, this cloth strip was useless, and it was uncomfortable to wear it.

“Still put it on, remind others that I can’t see it now.” He Yan smiled, “People must be more tolerant to a blind man. I can’t avoid others, and others can avoid me, can they?”

With cloth strips and without cloth strips, it is obvious that the former is more like a blind man. Feinu’s heart was shocked, as if something flashed through his mind, he couldn’t catch it quickly. After a while, he didn’t say anything, but said, “Go and eat first.”

He Yan nodded.

When Xiao Jue was not there, Feinu and He Yan sat in the house to eat after freshening up. The food was also bought by Feinu in advance. He Yan didn’t want Feinu to help. He ate very slowly, but his movements were fairly steady and he didn’t spill the soup outside. All the servants Sun Xiangfu called were withdrawn-with Xiao Jue’s lessons learned, He Yan couldn’t believe any of the servants here.

Just after eating, Feinu took away the leftovers on the table, and He Yan sat alone for a moment, when someone’s voice rang. The footsteps were very soft, if it weren’t for her strong ears, it would be difficult for ordinary people to hear it. It was not one person, but two people.

Xiao Jue didn’t need to be like this. Just after Fei Nu left, He Yan already knew who it was, but he didn’t show it on his face. He still sat quietly, as if in a daze.

The sound of footsteps fell in front of her, as if looking at her carefully, He Yan did not move with his eyes covered with cloth strips.

After a while, the visitor didn’t seem to find any flaws, and suddenly said, “Young Master Cheng.”

“Ah!” He Yan was taken aback and almost fell off the chair. She stood up indiscriminately, knocked her foot on the table leg, and screamed in pain. Someone came to help her and said, “Are you okay?”

He Yan opened his hand and grabbed it indiscriminately, and said, “Who is it?”

He caught a corner of a person’s clothes, and the person comforted her with a good voice: “I am Yuan Baozhen, not a bad guy, don’t worry, the young man.”

He Yan calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: “It turned out to be Yuan Yushi. I thought it was those assassins who came again and scared me to death! Why didn’t you come in without making any noise?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect to scare the young man.” Yuan Baozhen smiled and said: “I heard that the young man couldn’t see, I came to see you specially.”

When he said this, although his tone was concerned and distressed, there was no smile on his face. He stared at He Yan’s expression, as if he wanted to see whether He Yan was really blind or fake. However, He Yan’s eyes were covered with cloth strips, and he couldn’t see anything.

Without seeing a person’s eyes, it is difficult to see holes in his expression.

He is relying on it so hard that ordinary people may not be aware of this, but He Yan can clearly feel it. The person she was holding was Ding Yi, and Yuan Baozhen was greedy of life and fear of death, fear of accidents, and would not go forward directly. But his gaze is like a tarsal maggot, which is hard to ignore.

Even so, He Yan didn’t show it at all. She seemed to be a little bit distressed, and some of the teenagers were indifferent, saying: “Yes, I can’t see it now, but my uncle said that he would find a genius doctor to treat me, so she should just Invisible for the time being.”

It’s okay for her not to say this. When she says this, it almost makes people believe the fact that she really can’t see it. Because the “general doctor” is meant to be used to deceive children with a sense of relief and perfunctory.

Yuan Baozhen sat down on the chair next to him, shaking his head and sighing: “I didn’t expect that this trip would have caused the little boy to be injured. It didn’t hurt his life at all, and Governor Xiao was fine.” As he said, he seemed to remember. What happened? Looking at He Yan, he asked in a puzzled way: “It’s just the little son, at the night banquet last night, how did you know that there was an assassin at that time and the captain didn’t let the governor drink that glass of wine?”

No one knows whether the glass of wine is poisonous or not, so Yuan Baozhen also asked by coincidence. He didn’t mention the wine at all, only said assassination. He Yan sneered in his heart, this is to test her. She raised her head, as if she didn’t know which direction Yuan Baozhen was in. After hesitating, she said, “I didn’t know there were assassins at the time. I just saw flying insects flying into Uncle’s wine cup.”

This answer surprised both Ding Yi and Yuan Baozhen. They were taken aback at the same time, and Yuan Baozhen asked, “Flying insects?”

“Yes, you don’t know, my uncle loves Jie,” He Yan sighed, “the clothes are stained with dust, so they must be replaced immediately, and the shoes are stained with mud, so they will never wear them again. There are flying insects in the wine cup. If he drinks it, I don’t know how big a fire it will be. I just wanted to remind him not to drink and change to a glass. Who knew there was an assassin, I was shocked, who could Want it?”

It turned out to be the reason? Yuan Baozhen was a little bit skeptical. Cheng Lisu shouted sternly and anxiously at the time, making people nervous when he heard them. Is that so? But if it weren’t for this reason, how could he, a young master who didn’t know anything, wonder how the prophet knew there was a problem in the wine.

Maybe it was a hit by mistake? Yuan Baozhen couldn’t tell how he felt. Who knew that a good game of chess would be ruined here? He was half annoyed and half skeptical. Looking at Cheng Lisu, he only found this young man annoying.

But “Cheng Lisu” obviously didn’t know how much he hated him. On the contrary, it seemed that Yuan Baozhen was very close to him when he came here. He smiled and said, “I heard from my uncle that Yuan Yushi came from Shuojing?”

“good.”

“Then Yuan Yushi knows General Feihong He Rufei?” she asked.

As soon as the words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room. Ding, who was very close to He Yan, put a hand on the long knife around his waist, and for an instant, murderous aura came to his face.

The boy was undecided, with a smile on his face, facing Yuan Baozhen’s direction, waiting for his answer.

After a while, Yuan Baozhen stared at He Yan’s face and asked, “Why did the young man suddenly ask General Qifeihong?”

“Don’t the world say that General Feihong and my uncle are rivals, and their skills are equal. I have never seen General Feihong. I don’t know his skills or what he looks like? Yuan Yushi is from Shuojing. He is an official of the same dynasty. I may have seen him. I heard that he used to wear a mask, but now he has taken off the mask. How about it? Does he look good?”

The voice of “Cheng Lisu” in front of him was brisk, and he didn’t know that the guard beside him had just drawn a knife, and the questions he asked were like those naughty young people in Beijing. Yuan Baozhen breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, he thought the boy had discovered something, and almost wanted to silence it.

“I saw him, he was born… very handsome, but he should not be as good as Du Du Xiao.” Yuan Baozhen replied with a smile.

“Not as good as my uncle?” He Yan was immediately disappointed, and said quickly: “Then, did Yuan Yushi and General Feihong get close? If they get closer, when I return to Shuojing in the future, can you recommend General Feihong for me? I have also heard many deeds of him, and I want to see for myself what kind of person it is.” She whispered: “Just don’t let my uncle know about this. I’m afraid he will punish me to copy books.”

“I’m afraid I will be disappointed,” Yuan Baozhen shook his head, “I just know General Feihong and are not familiar with each other. If it comes to referrals, it would be better to let Governor Xiao introduce him.”

He Yan whispered, “How dare I let him introduce me.”

As she said this, Yuan Baozhen looked at her, and suddenly said: “I came here today because I was afraid that the young man would be sad because of his eyes, but now I see it, but I worry too much. The young man does not seem to be very sad. .”

He Yan said in a strange way: “Why did Yuan Yushi say this? I cried for two full hours last night. If it weren’t for my uncle to scold me and throw me out again, you won’t see me anymore. Besides, I would think about it later. Understand, who am I? I am the young master of Youjiro’s mansion. Although I know nothing, my uncle is the prefect of Youjun. As long as there is my uncle, my eyes will never be invisible. My uncle said If a genius doctor can cure my eyes, there will be a genius doctor who will heal my eyes!”

What she said was full of worship and trust in Xiao Jue, and she taught Yuan Baozhen to be speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. He Yan’s words are not leaking, and no flaws have been found for the time being, but… he still feels a little worried.

“The little son is right. Governor Xiao is omnipotent and will definitely find a way. It seems that I am narrow-minded,” he stood up with a smile, “so, I should go too. The little son is unwell now, so I should go first. Lie on the ground,” he looked around. “How come there is no one in this room?”

“I told them to leave,” He Yan smiled: “That kind of thing happened last night, I don’t dare to use the subordinates in this mansion. Don’t you dare to use Yuan Yushi? You are so brave.”

Yuan Baozhen smiled and said: “But you don’t see it now, you always want someone to serve?”

“Feinu will serve me, and I can touch it by myself.” She smiled: “Yuan Yushi don’t worry, I can do it myself.”

Yuan Baozhen smiled and said, “Little son is clever, then I’ll leave first.” After that, he turned and left, but walked outside the door, turned around again, and stood still at the door.

In the room, Ding did not move a step.

When the two of them came in, it was Yuan Baozhen who had always spoken. Ding Yi didn’t say a word. He Yan would easily think that there was only one person in the house.

Yuan Baozhen stood at the door, winking at Ding Yi.

He Yan stood up and walked into the room tremblingly. Ding Yi was right in front of her, and she could feel that there was an Emei thorn hidden in her sleeve, which she took away from Yingyue last night. She had already thought about how she should avoid it if Ding Yi did it. Open, how to pierce this Emei thorn into his heart.

The young man was blindfolded with the cloth strips, and did not reach for it. She supported the wall next to her and walked slowly into the house. Probably the people in the room were afraid that she would be inconvenient and would trip over things, so they took the chair to one side and everything from the table to the collapsed place, there was nothing all the way, as long as she held the wall and touched it.

The same is true for He Yan.

She walked to the place close to the bed, Ding Yi bent down and placed a bench in front of her.

The young man didn’t notice anything, stepped forward with a “clang”, stumbled, and immediately planted forward. It was unlucky that he planted, knocked on the bed, screamed, and a bag immediately swelled on his forehead. He fell to the ground, half of his body fell to the ground, his hands also scratched his skin, and he did not get up for a long while.

Ding and Yuan Baozhen shook their heads.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Baozhen turned around and walked out, and Ding Yi followed out gently.

He Yan was the only one left in the room.

He Yan held his head and screamed, no one saw it, and a sneer overflowed from her lips.
