Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 98

Chapter 98

“Uncle? Is it your uncle?” He Yan showed a surprised look, like a blind man touching an elephant, grabbing at each other with open hands, “Where are you?”

Xiao Jue watched her acting with cold eyes, and said sarcastically: “Aren’t you blindfolded and shooting arrows, listening to the sound? Why, can’t you hear where I am?”

He Yan’s movements stopped abruptly, and after a while, he smiled in a jealousy, “I’m afraid you may feel embarrassed. Uncle, are you bathing?”

The young man opened his eyes and looked ahead without blinking. Even though he had put on his clothes at the moment, Xiao Jue felt uncomfortable.

“Where did you go?” he asked.

“The latrine, Big Brother Feinu went out, and I couldn’t believe the people here, so I felt it out and relaxed. Uncle, why are you back so early today?” He Yan asked, “Big Brother Feinu hasn’t come back?”

Xiao Jue turned sideways, put on the outer clothes again, and said, “Don’t run around here.”

He Yan looked at him, thinking of the conversation between Yuan Baozhen’s master and servant that he had just heard, and said: “Uncle, have you been investigating the assassin at the night feast these days? Have you noticed it.”

Xiao Jue glanced at her and asked, “What do you want to say?”

“You said…Is it possible that someone in this mansion killed you? Look at it. Although Sun Zhixian said he didn’t know it, but the matter was in his mansion, how could he know nothing? Right? And Yuan Yushi,” He Yan racked his brains, “I think he is also very strange…”

“Oh, where is the weirdness?” Xiao Jue asked.

He Yan didn’t know how to answer this, so I couldn’t say it. I went to the roof of the two of them to uncover the tiles and overheard them talking, and I was blinded by the guard next to him in my previous life. He Yan had no choice but to say: “Yuan Yushi came to me once before and asked me some weird questions. If you want me to say, I have to say that my intuition is a bit wrong. Uncle, you should be more careful about them.”

The young man fumbled for a chair and sat down, his tone was very serious, and Xiao Jue’s eyes flashed with surprise. He slowly asked: “You told me to watch out for Yuan Baozhen?”

“Yeah, you think, if they really hurt you, you won’t be able to do it once, there will be another. Uncle, you are not in the house on weekdays, so don’t worry… but it’s not right, you are not in the house on weekdays. Why are you still living here?” He Yan suddenly remembered something.

Since he wants to live in Sun’s Mansion, he has to go out every day. Isn’t this a contradiction?

“You should focus more on your eyes instead of these things.” Xiao Jue said lightly, “You really can’t see your eyes?”

He Yan’s heart jumped and he pretended to be stupid: “That’s natural! What good is it for me to pretend to be blind?”

She said so loudly, Xiao Jue looked at her again and felt that everything she did was like a real blind man. But this person is used to deceiving others, otherwise he wouldn’t even lie to Feinu.

Seeing Xiao Jue not speaking, He Yan smiled for fear that he would continue the conversation, “Uncle, weren’t you in the shower? I came in and disturbed you? Do you want to continue? You continue, I’m here. Keep it outside the door, and keep it from entering, and keeping others from entering.” After saying that, he fumbled for the door and pushed it open, went out and sat down on the steps outside the door, guarding the door, like a door god.

Xiao Jue: “…”

He Yan didn’t listen to the movement in the room. I don’t know if Second Young Master Xiao still has the intention to continue bathing. He Yan’s thoughts are a little confused anyway. There are so many facts happening today that I don’t know which thing to think about first. He Rufei, Xu Xiang, Yuan Baozhen and Ding Yi’s conspiracy, mixed up with all sorts of mess, finally became the appearance of Xiao Jue taking a shower.

“Bah baah bah—-” He Yan cursed, thinking that this person who is not blind would be blind after such an encounter. Although she is a woman, after thinking about it carefully, she doesn’t know who is taking advantage of it.

Just half a catty!

…

Early the next morning, Xiao Jue disappeared again, and after Feinu came to give her a meal, he also disappeared. The two masters and servants didn’t know what they were doing every day. He Yan sat on the couch, wondering if he was going to sneak out and follow Yuan Baozhen and his guards today, but wanted to come after last night, Yuan Baozhen He would definitely stare at the roof. The roof of Sun’s house is already fragile, so it is really not suitable to climb twice.

Who knew that before Rong Heyan came up with a result, Ding Yi came to the door by himself. He stood at the door, his voice respectfully said: “Master Cheng?”

He Yan looked up, Ding Yi’s voice was respectful and polite: “Master Yuan invites you to come over and have tea.”

“What tea?” He Yan asked casually, “I’m quite picky for tea.”

“You have all kinds of tea,” Ding Yi smiled: “If Cheng Gongzi doesn’t want to…”

“Willing,” He Yan stood up holding the head of the bed, “I am here alone. It is really boring. It’s rare that Master Yuan remembers me and accompanies me to relieve my boredom. How can I be so ignorant? You lead the way.” There were strips of cloth wrapped around her eyes, “Excuse me, get my bamboo stick.”

When Feinu came back last night, he brought back a bamboo stick to He Yan. It was not tall or short, so it happened to be able to be walked by He Yan. Although this person looks taciturn, he is actually very considerate. After all, the people in Sun’s House are untrustworthy and no one can use it, but it is really inconvenient to walk on her own. It is much better to have a bamboo stick and fall in the eyes of others. Also more “like” a blind man.

Ding Yi: “Okay.” Looking sideways, he saw a bamboo stick standing in front of the table in front of him. He walked over and took the bamboo stick in his hand. While walking in front of He Yan, he handed it over and said: “Please, Mr. Cheng, please Connect it.”

He Yan tremblingly stretched out his hand to pick it up. Just when he was about to touch the head of the bamboo stick, Ding Yi suddenly withdrew his hand forward. He Yan threw herself into the air. She was already unsteady and almost crooked. Falling down, fortunately, Ding Yi helped him, Ding together: “Master Cheng is okay?”

“It’s okay.” He Yan said with lingering fear: “I almost fell.” Then he said with a sad tone: “Now I can’t even take anything.”

“All the subordinates are not good,” Ding Yi said guiltily: “It should have been sent directly to Master Cheng to make Master Cheng frightened.”

Despite what he said, his eyes were fixed on He Yan, trying to find a flaw in He Yan’s face. It is a pity that once his eyes are covered by the cloth strips, it is really hard to predict the change in He Yan’s expression. He also didn’t know, He Yan looked at the person in front of him and sneered silently in his heart.

This piece of cloth was changed last night. The black piece of cloth was finely ground with a needle on the eyes, not many, as long as a thread is fine. Through this gap, the movements of outsiders can be seen, and in the eyes of outsiders, He Yan is just a blind man whose eyes are covered by cloth strips.

Ding Yi’s temptation, the movement of staring at her face right now, was seen by He Yan. She didn’t expect Ding Yi to doubt her even now. But why is this? She escaped extremely fast last night, and she should not have been caught by Ding Yi. If it was said that Xiao Jue was reminded to drink a glass of wine at the previous night banquet, the temptation should be over when Yuan Baozhen came over last time.

Why is there such repeated temptation.

He Yan couldn’t think of it, so he leaned on the bamboo stick and said, “No matter, it’s none of your business. Let’s go.”

“Subordinates should help you.” Ding Yi said.

“No,” He Yan said: “If I really can’t see it anymore, sooner or later I have to adapt to this kind of life. What is it to always ask others for help? Besides, I have a bamboo stick, but I just go slower, no Can’t keep up, just tell me how to go ahead.”

The young man’s voice was stubborn, and it sounded like he was trying to win even if he was blind. Ding Yi didn’t find any loopholes, and said: “Then ask Master Cheng to come with me.”

He walked forward, telling He Yan where there are steps on the road and where to turn left and right. He Yan actually walked very slowly. The bamboo stick hit the ground and made a “boom” sound, very careful. He walked earnestly, Ding Yi was also very patient, and had been guiding her, but He Yan’s Yu Guang could see that this person had been staring at her every tiny movement, and was still trying to catch her possible loopholes.

If it is pretending to be blind, some ordinary habits will appear when people are walking a certain distance. People who are close can also notice the slightest errors as long as they pay a little attention. However, He Yan had already been here. She was covered with a cloth strip, and she could think of the days when she was in Xu’s family. She had really been a blind man. She didn’t have to pretend, as long as she did it the way she used to be.

The two of them, one pretending to be blind, the other observing, and both guarding each other. In the end, the one pretending to be blind is more skilled, stop and go, half flawless, and have reached the gate of Yuan Baozhen.

Ding Yi: “Master Cheng is careful to step down the steps, we are here.”

He Yan lighted the bamboo stick, followed the guidance of the bamboo stick and raised his foot, tremblingly up the steps, and followed Ding Yi into it.

The room Yuan Bao lived in was leaning on the dark side. It seemed difficult to get the sun on ordinary days. It felt dim as soon as he entered, and even a light was lit in the daytime. There was a teapot in front of Xiaoji with several tea cups and a plate of snacks on it. Ding Yi led her to sit down in front of Xiaoji.

Yuan Baozhen raised his head and smiled at He Yan kindly: “Master Cheng these few days, are you okay?”

“It’s okay.” He Yan pointed to his eyes: “Except here is not good.”

“Is it still not getting better these few days?”

“No.” He Yan sighed, “I don’t know when the genius doctor my uncle is looking for will arrive in Liangzhou.”

Yuan Baozhen didn’t take it seriously, but looked at Ding Yi. Ding Yi shook his head, meaning that he hadn’t found any flaws along the way.

That is really blind.

When he watched He Yan, He Yan was also watching him. The gap revealed by the black cloth was vague, and he didn’t really see it clearly, but He Yan felt that this person was different from what he had seen a few days ago. His voice is still very kind, but probably because He Yan can’t see it, he even disdains the smile on his face. There was a bit of anxiety in his expression, as if something was not going well.

Yes, since they came here specifically to murder Xiao Jue, they have not succeeded yet. Right now, I didn’t even see Xiao Jue’s trail every day, and he couldn’t even touch Shun Shun.

Yuan Baozhen pushed the tea cup in front of him into He Yan’s hand, and then brought the dish containing the dessert to He Yan, and said with a smile: “Have some dessert.”

He Yan clearly saw that some peanuts were sprinkled on the top of the snack.

He Yan still remembers Cheng Lisu’s instructions to him when he left, that he would get a rash all over his body if he eats peanuts. This is interesting. Did Yuan Baozhen know that Cheng Lisu can’t eat peanuts? He Yan felt that he knew it out of ten. Then the purpose of this snack is very clear, it is still to test her.

After eating this snack, there was no rash and there was a problem. There are also problems if you don’t eat this snack.

He Yan thought how he could do so and want Yuan Baozhen to make such repeated temptations.

She didn’t pick up the cup of tea or snacks, but smiled and said in a strange tone: “Master Yuan, I can’t really drink tea and snacks.”

Yuan Baozhen’s eyes moved: “Why?”

“You know that after the night banquet, my uncle will not let me eat and drink in the house. My daily stuff is sent by Fei slaves. Lord Yuan, I can’t believe you. It’s because my uncle is very kind. Strict, if I ate something with my back on my back, I can’t bear the consequences.” The young man’s tone was very natural, and he didn’t even understand why Yuan Baozhen was so stupid. He said, “I persuade Master Yuan to also Don’t eat the things from the mansion anymore, forbear your appetite for a while, don’t take your life for it.”

The boy answered quickly, without any clues, for a while it was unclear whether he was telling the truth or lying. Yuan Baozhen smiled, “The refreshments I have here are also bought by the waiter outside.”

“The food outside is even more dangerous.” He Yan said earnestly, “It’s really not possible, Lord Yuan, wait, wait until my uncle returns to the house, you tell my uncle, if you have my uncle’s approval, I can eat these things again. good?”

Yuan Baozhen couldn’t answer this. He invited Xiao Jue over for tea? Wouldn’t it be that you expose yourself.

He Yan consciously said that what he said was perfect. Cheng Li was originally a little counselor who was afraid of his uncle!

Yuan Baozhen retracted his hand and shook his head and smiled: “If Mr Cheng doesn’t want to eat, he won’t want to eat.” His tone was very disappointed.

“It’s okay. I’ll sit with Master Yuan. It’s fine.”

“So, I’m very curious about something,” Yuan Baozhen looked at the boy in front of him, and his conversation turned, “Duke Xiao cares about you so much, why have you left you alone in the mansion these few days? Only the guard is by his side, Even if it is a guard, it is not always with Master Cheng. If there are any problems in this mansion, Governor Xiao will not worry that Master Cheng will be in danger?”

As soon as he said this, He Yan Fuzhi soul suddenly understood why Yuan Baozhen’s master servant wanted to hold him.

Because Xiao Jue left his nephew alone in the Sun’s Mansion, which is an unreasonable thing! The reason why Xiao Jue would do this is that He Yan herself knows how to martial arts, and she is not really Cheng Lisu. She has no blood relationship with Xiao Jue. Of course, the indifferent second son Xiao Jue would not look different to her. Treat each other. But in fact, with the real Cheng Lisu here, Xiao Jue will definitely try to ensure his safety. Instead of doing this, He Yan stayed in Sun’s Mansion alone, and his whole body was covered with being stocked, just like an out-of-favor and abandoned concubine who was thrown into the cold palace.

He Yan himself had always been very correct in his position, so he didn’t feel anything at all, but in the eyes of others, it was wrong. She suddenly reacted at this moment and knew that this was the reason why Yuan Baozhen’s master and servant had always felt wrong and stared at herself.

But Xiao Jue, such a smart person, couldn’t think of this. He Yan thought it was impossible. When He Yan was in Xianchang Pavilion, He Yan was careless, but Xiao Jue was very cautious. He Yan didn’t believe that he would ignore this, so there was only one possibility, Xiao Jue deliberately. Xiao Jue deliberately let her expose her flaws, making Yuan Baozhen’s master and servant full of doubts about her, testing herself again and again.

But why? Even though Xiao Jue had doubts about her, at least for now, they should be the right group. Could it be… this bastard is using her as a shield. She has attracted the attention of Yuan Baozhen’s master and servant, so Xiao Jue has time to do his own thing?

The more He Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, and he couldn’t wait to tear Xiao Jue’s hand to pieces. She didn’t show it on her face, she only said innocently: “What can be dangerous? My uncle has already said that the real danger is not in this mansion. It is safe for me to stay in the mansion, Master Yuan, I will tell you,” she said. Whispered: “The real danger lies outside the house.”

“Outside the house?” Yuan Baozhen and Ding glanced at each other, and asked He Yan, “What does Master Cheng say?”

“I don’t know about that,” He Yan spread his hands together, looking like it had nothing to do with me, “Anyway, I overheard what my uncle said. If you want to know, just ask my uncle.” She Add another sentence, “I think he has been outside the house these few days, so maybe he is going to solve the’danger’.”

Okay, since Xiao Jue used her as a shield, she kicked the target back and directed Yuan Baozhen’s gaze to outside the house. Moreover, the image of her unknowing trash boy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and she didn’t find any flaws when she wanted to come to Yuan Baozhen.

“Young Master Cheng can really laugh,” Yuan Baozhen said with a smile: “Since it is the private matter of Governor Xiao, I won’t inquire about it.” He talked about other nostalgia.

He Yan was shocked.

She saw Ding Yi approaching, being very close to her, and bending down to untie a scented ball on her waist.

Cheng Lisu is a very particular young master, and there are countless sachets and jade pendants. He Yan felt that those things were too precious, and he was afraid of dropping them. After searching for a long time, he found a simple-looking incense ball. The incense ball is only two finger-sized. It is a small round ball woven from wisteria. The center is hollow and filled with spices and herbs. It is worn around the waist. It has a faint fragrance in action, cute and elegant.

Ding Yi held the incense ball in his hand. His movements were so light that he could hardly be felt. He Yan, who was invisible, could only pretend not to feel it at this moment.

She would not think that Ding Yi liked this incense ball and stole it. Sure enough, Ding Yi opened the top of the incense ball, took out the original medicinal materials inside, and filled it in with other things.

It must not be a good thing.

After doing all this, he gently tied the incense ball to He Yan at his waist, and from beginning to end, He Yan did not move halfway.

Yuan Baozhen’s face showed satisfaction, Ding Yi stood back to Yuan Baozhen’s side, looking from the outside, everything was business as usual, as if nothing had happened.

He Yan chatted with Yuan Baozhen about Shuo Jing’s anecdote, only feeling that the incense ball on his waist was faintly hot. She had already suffered from using poison in her previous life, and He Yan suspected that Ding Yi might be good at using poison. She still remembered the words she heard when she visited Yuan Baozhen’s master and servant room last night, but they planned to use themselves to trip Xiao Jue. This was probably the way they came up with.

This thing is probably poisonous. The toxicity is not small. If you wear it on your body, you will die. Xiao Jue, who is close to him, will also die if he smells it. The three masters and servants are really one of them, and all of them can be blamed on the assassin. Perhaps it was time for Hao Zuo to come to the post-mortem and found out that he was not the real Cheng Lisu, so he became an assassin disguised as Cheng Lisu’s wicked murder of the capital of the right army.

He Yan fought a cold war and must not let this happen.

She said: “Master Yuan, I am a little impatient, I want to go to the toilet first.”

…

Xiao Jue walked in at the house of Sun’s residence.

Feinu walked closely following his feet, seeming to have been waiting for him for a long time.

“Master, Yuan Baozhen invited He Yan away.” He said.

Xiao Jue put the sword on the table, turned around, and said casually: “Probably still testing.”

“If you can’t find Young Master, they can only start from He Yan.”

Xiao Jue gave a noncommittal smile. He Yan was originally the shield he put out, used to make noise, without two tails, it was more convenient to do things. Everyone thought that he was out of the house. In fact, the day when he really went out of the house was only today.

He has been in Sun’s Mansion, hiding in the dark, but no one has noticed it.

“Young Master will not be discovered by He Yan if he does this?”

“He should have found out, but he can only lie.” Xiao Jue said: “This person was lying to Yuan Baozhen for the first time, although I don’t know why.”

He Yan coped very well, the better he coped, and the less flaws he could find, the more suspicion Yuan Baozhen would be. Because Xiao Jue left his nephew in Sun’s Mansion, this was a matter of flaws.

“The young master uses Yuan Baozhen to test He Yan, and He Yan to test Yuan Baozhen, but what if they are in the same group?”

Up to now, after the assassination at the banquet that night when he first arrived at Sun’s Mansion, Xiao Jue was almost out of the picture. He Yan and Yuan Baozhen test each other, just to figure out the origin of the two people, killing two birds with one stone.

“If it’s together, we’ll catch it all in one go.” Xiao Jue said calmly: “This incident is about to end here.”

Feinu was silent. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and then said: “Today He Yan went to Yuan Baozhen’s room, and the guards around Yuan Baozhen replaced the incense ball worn by He Yan.”

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows: “He didn’t find it?”

“No.”

“It’s just a play.”

“I’m afraid there is poison in the incense ball, Governor, today you stay away from him.”

Xiao Jue glanced outside the window, and suddenly said, “He Yan should be back at this time, what else is he still doing outside.”

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a maid from the Sun’s Mansion running out panting, and said as she ran: “It’s not good, it’s not good!”

Feinu opened the door: “What’s wrong?”

The maid whispered: “Master Cheng…Master Cheng fell down in the hut!”
