Rebirth of a Star General

Confidants wiped out?

There was a momentary blank in He Yan's mind, followed by the grief and anger of leaving.

It wasn't an accident at all, it was murder! He Rufei did it on purpose. I was afraid that during the first battle in Huayuan, he had already exposed his feet, and maybe he had decided to cut the grass and root it before he was discovered. Since the He family can kill themselves who still have blood relatives, He Rufei can also use the same method to kill "confidants" who are not relatives and not related.

The anger made her feel cold all over, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red in an instant. The hand holding the branch couldn't help but force, and the branch was crushed into two pieces by her. The sound alarmed the speaker. Lin Shuanghe and Shen Han looked back and saw He Yan. Lin Shuanghe asked curiously, "Brother He, why are you here?" There was no way to talk to Lin Shuanghe at all, but someone would find out the clue, so he hurriedly said: "I still have something to do, I will take a step first." Turn around and leave.

Lin Shuanghe stopped in place, and after a while, turned his head to look at Shen Han: "...you just heard Brother He's voice, did you cry a little?"

Shen Han: "...Maybe Young Master Lin misunderstood."

Did he listen? Lin Shuanghe recalled it carefully, and felt that He Yan's voice was a little weird, as if he could not help crying.

At this moment, Xiao Jue and Fei Nu walked in from outside, saw Shen Han and Lin Shuanghe standing in the courtyard, and frowned slightly: "What are you doing standing here?"

"I'm here to talk to you about something." Lin Shuanghe asked, "Didn't you see my brother He when you just came in?"

"He Yan?" Xiao Jue said calmly, "No." As he said that, he entered the room.

Shen Han bowed to Lin Shuanghe, and he had to go to the martial arts field. Lin Shuanghe followed Xiao Jue into the house, and Fei Nu stood aside. He closed the door, looked back at Xiao Jue who had taken off his cloak, and said, "Huai Jin, are you still fighting with my sister He?"

Xiao Jue glanced at him: "I'm not as boring as you."

"Then why does my sister He look like she's about to cry just now?" Lin Shuanghe whispered to himself, and then looked at him: "You have been kind to my sister He these few days, I don't know what happened to her and Chu Zilan. What, I can see that she is in a very low mood these days. My sister He is extremely low-hearted in her heart, and she is not in love with Chu Zilan. ." Lin Shuanghe winked at Fei Nu and signaled Fei Nu to follow the words: "Is that so, Fei Nu?"

Fei Nu stood up straight, pretending not to hear him. Only He Yan feels inferior in his heart? In Liangzhouwei, there is no one who is more arrogant and arrogant than He Yan. The word inferiority cannot be compared with He Yan's eight poles. I don't know how Lin Shuanghe saw it.

When Xiao Jue heard the words, her expression became more indifferent, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That's Chu Zilan's business."

Lin Shuanghe thought to himself, one or two, why are they so stubborn? Thinking about it carefully, it's no wonder that He Yan didn't want to believe that Xiao Jue was interested in her. Even if it was Lin Shuanghe's indifferent attitude, Xiao Jue was also suspicious. This is not like love, it is like an enemy.

"If you have nothing else to do, go out first," Xiao Jue said, "I have something to tell Fei Nu."

He's about to do business. Lin Shuanghe didn't dare to disturb him, so he said, "That's fine, you said, I'll go out first and come back to you later."

After Lin Shuanghe left, Fei Nu locked the door and walked to Xiao Jue's side, "Captain, the war in Huayuan..."

"The re-enactment of the Battle of Mingshui." Xiao Jue interrupted him.

Fei Nu was silent for a moment: "It doesn't look like there is any problem, but it can't stand scrutiny. General Feihong led 150,000 soldiers and horses. Based on his past military exploits, he should not have won such a tragic victory."

"Not only that," the young man leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, his hands were extremely white, and he touched the tea cup in front of him, his voice was light: "All the lieutenants and lieutenants died in battle, there is no such coincidence in the world."

General Feihong's cronies were all lieutenants who fought bloody battles with him and were killed from the sea of ​​corpses. It's not the first time I've been on the battlefield. Although there is a traitor, it's okay to deceive others, but it's a bit reluctant to deceive them. Besides, there was the first battle of Mingshui, and now when I look at the battle of Huayuan, I feel that there are loopholes everywhere.

"Young master thinks..."

"It's more like silence than an accident." Xiao Jue replied quietly.

Fei Nu was silent. If it was said to be silenced, what was the reason for silence? For example, in the battle of Mingshui, none of Xiao Zhongwu and his cronies survived, but now He Rufei is still alive, and He Rufei is not among the targets of silence. Then, it was He Rufei who wanted to hide some secrets, so he would kill all his cronies.

What is the secret that He Rufei wants to hide?

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at Fei Nu: "Go and tell Luan Ying, I want to know the news from the beginning to the end of the Huayuan World War I."

Fei Nu took orders to leave.

Xiao Jue leaned against the back of the chair, and his eyes fell on the swaying branches in front of the window. He had been in the same room with He Rufei for a year, and He Rufei was...a very stubborn, simple, almost stupid, and persistent person. He was not surprised that He Rufei later became General Feihong. If a person insists on something, he will succeed in whatever he does. But Xiao Jue still doubted that He Rufei would personally kill his cronies who had followed him for many years for a secret.

This is not like the He Rufei of the past.

But... nothing is absolute, people's hearts are changeable, maybe... He Rufei has already changed.

...

He Yan has been sitting by the Wulu River.

It was already deep in the night. Ever since Lin Shuanghe learned from Lin Shuanghe that all of He Rufei's cronies were killed in the battle, she left the crowd. There was no one by the Wulu River. She could sit here and enjoy herself. Express your emotions.

When she was "He Rufei", her cronies were all brothers who accompanied her to survive the battlefield step by step. They lived and died together, and had a deeper friendship than others. He Yan originally thought that even if He Rufei was afraid of revealing his identity, most would just stop leading troops to fight, or say that he was sick and rarely see old friends, but He Rufei was more vicious than she thought. Kill all those lieutenants.

What were they thinking before they died? Maybe someone found out that He Rufei was wrong, maybe no one noticed. Maybe when they died, they didn't expect to die in the hands of the generals they trusted. How absurd and unreasonable it is to die in the midst of the ugly and treacherous strife of one's own people instead of dying under the butcher's knife of the enemy on the battlefield!

With a bang, the whip slammed heavily on the boulder in front of him, shattering a corner of the stone. He Yan fiercely whipped the long whip in his hand, as if to express his grief and anger in his heart, and his voice spread far away from the empty river bank.

I don't know how long it took, until the whip hit the boulder, and the colorful spikes hanging on the wooden handle were hit and flew out. He Yan stopped to take a breath and looked at his hands. When he was venting, he didn't feel it. At this moment, there were red marks all over his hands, and he finally felt tired.

She put away the long whip around her waist and walked to Caiho, who was thrown to the side. Half of Caisui was stained with river water, and the other end fell into the stone. He Yan leaned over to pick it up, and saw that the small pomegranate flower was smashed into two halves.

He Yan stared straight at the pomegranate flower that was shattered in half. For a moment, what came to mind was the way he used to be in the military camp with his brothers, smiling and celebrating. Unconsciously, he sat on the ground with his buttocks. , buried his head in his arms, and sobbed uncontrollably.

She seldom shed tears for herself, but now she can't pretend that nothing happened. She didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. For a time, guilt, self-blame, sadness, and anger were intertwined. It's hard to think otherwise.

In the wilderness, there is only a low wind, and the wind is also cool, cooler than the snow in the desert.

Someone's footsteps came.

It was only slightly at first, but later, it stopped about a few steps away from her. The cold voice almost merged with the night. He called He Yan's name.

"He Yan."

Before He Yan had time to put away the gorgeous tears, he raised his head subconsciously and turned to look at the young man in brocade and blue boots, with a handsome appearance, his dark eyes fixed on her, his expression light.

"...Commander." He Yan stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears from his face, and said nonchalantly, "Why did you come here?"

He didn't speak, his eyes fell on He Yan's palm, He Yan was still holding the Caisui just now, half of which was exposed.

After a while, Xiao Jue looked away and asked, "What are you crying for?"

He Yan's heart shrank, she wanted to find a place where no one else could vent, but she never thought that Xiao Jue had come here. what is this? She couldn't tell the real situation either, but the Caisui in her hand reminded her, He Yan thought about it, and said, "I... my tassels are broken, and I was in a hurry." Afraid that Xiao Jue would not believe it, He Yan spread it out. He held the palm of his hand and showed him the jade pomegranate that was broken in half: "Look, it broke in half, I'm afraid it won't be repaired."

She was still dressed as a teenager, her eyes were red, the last time I saw her like this was when Liu Bu forget passed away. And He Yan is by no means a person who will cry sadly for a Caisui. For a while, Lin Shuanghe's previous words floated in Xiao Jue's ears.

"My little sister He has an extremely low self-esteem deep down in her heart. She is in love with Chu Zilan. If you talk coldly to others, you are still a little girl, and you will inevitably be sad."

Can not love?

Yes, as early as the last time Chu Zilan missed an appointment on Baiyue Mountain, he had already seen He Yan's depressed appearance.

He Yan saw the young man in front of him walk in front of him and leaned over to look at her. His eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful and they were very close, but He Yan was inexplicably frightened, and the other party's voice was calm, and he said, "That's it. Like it, no matter how sad you are, you still have to persevere?"

He Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

What did he say...what does that mean?

He stared at himself silently, his eyes were like the night in the city, deep and shallow, clear and light.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Jue stood up straight, turned her back to her, and said in a low voice, "You will affect the resting Nanfu soldiers nearby."

"go back."

After saying this, he walked away without looking back. After He Yan waited for him to leave, he wiped his face with his sleeve, and also stood up, looking back at the river in the distance.

He Rufei couldn't be allowed to go on like this.

He Rufei has lost her mind, and will only intensify in the future. There is not much time for her to stay in Liangzhouwei, and I am afraid it will not work.

We must return to Shuojing as soon as possible.

...

He Yan thought so in her heart, but before she could figure out how to return to Shuojing, someone wanted to leave before her, and it was Chu Zhao.

On this day, the daily training in the martial arts field was over, He Yan had eaten and walked into the house by himself. These days, because of the World War I in Huayuan, she feels uncomfortable. Every day she seems to be very worried, and everyone doesn't understand how she is. He Yan deliberately continued to inquire about He Rufei's news, but He Rufei's news was first passed on to Xiao Jue, followed by the coaches, and finally the recruits. However, General Feihong was far away in Huayuan, and his daily training was difficult on weekdays, and he could not patronize far away.

She walked back to her yard and saw a person sitting on the stone table in front of her door. At first He Yan thought it was Xiao Jue, but these few days Xiao Jue left early and returned late, and it was difficult for He Yan to meet him.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the material of his clothes is extremely light and thin, and because of his thin body, Tsing Yi and wide sleeves, sitting in the yard, even this simple yard has a bit of fairy air. He Yan approached and said, "Brother Chu."

"Brother He," Chu Zhao stood up and said with a smile, "I'm here to find you. If you're not here, just wait here. I thought you'd come back late at night, but luckily you came back early."

"Why are you waiting outside?" He Yan sat down on the stone bench. "In summer, there are mosquitoes everywhere. You are already thin and weak. If you feed the mosquitoes, you will have nothing left."

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, laughed at by her words, shook his head and took out a small sachet from his sleeve: "Thank you Brother He for your concern, but there are herbs for repelling mosquitoes here. Carry them on your body, and mosquitoes are not close."

The young master of a wealthy family is really a young master, and he is so particular about his work, it is no wonder that there will never be a time of embarrassment.

Chu Zhao put the sachet on the table and said, "Brother He, I'm looking for you, and I'm here to say goodbye to you again. I left in a hurry last time, and I left without saying goodbye. This time I'll be careful."

"Goodbye?" He Yan was not too surprised. Chu Zhao's stay in Liangzhou Wei was not a long-term solution. The people of Liangzhou Guard were tortured every day, even if Chu Zhao was a spy, or if he made a mistake, he would be here every day, and he would not gain anything. This place is bitter and cold, there is no need for the young master of Jinyi Yushi to suffer here. Sooner or later, he will return to Shuojing.

Chu Zhao nodded, "Brother He should already know about the Huayuan World War I?"

Unexpectedly, he would bring up the matter of Hua Yuan, He Yan was startled, and then replied: "Yes."

"The Utuo people have already planned to attack Dawei, and the capital cannot be separated from others. Not only me, but Dudu Xiao will also return to Shuojing soon after coming here. Now the Utuo people are still in Huayuan, and they have never been to the north of Huayuan. We have to go one step ahead, after the Utuo people go north, the road is not easy to walk, I am afraid it will not be easy to return to Shuojing when Jieshi." Chu Zhao smiled, "Besides, I stayed in Liangzhouwei, originally planned to be I left after the Jiyang incident was over. Now that you have sealed Wu Anlang, I have nothing to worry about."

This is a coincidence, as if he stayed in Liangzhou Wei for He Yan's sake. He Yan said: "Brother Chu's kindness is very grateful to me. I hope it will be smooth sailing when I return to Beijing this time."

The handsome young man smiled softly, stared deeply at himself, and said nothing.

He Yan touched his face: "...Is there something on my face?"

Chu Zhao lowered his head and smiled. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Actually, apart from saying goodbye to Brother He today, there is one more thing I want to discuss with Brother He."

He Yan asked, "What?"

"Brother He..." He said slowly, "Would you like to walk with me and return to Shuojing together?"

Quiet all around.

After a while, He Yan said, "Brother Chu, stop joking, how can I leave with you?"

"Brother He, although he is still a member of the Liangzhou Guards, it really boils down to his Majesty's imperial ensign, Wu Anlang. He can be controlled by Governor Xiao, but he is not a soldier under Governor Xiao. Choose the recruits to be escorted as bodyguards. If Brother He wants, you can walk with me without worrying about His Majesty's blame."

Before He Yan could speak, he said again: "I know Brother He's concerns, and I'm also afraid that Dudu Xiao will be unhappy. But Brother He, Liangzhou is already bitter and cold, you are... a young man, in such a bitter and cold place. It will be difficult. One step ahead and one step later, sooner or later, you have to go back to Shuojing. Since you are committed to making achievements, you can go back to Shuojing with me, and I will let you meet the saint. There is not only one way to make achievements, especially, The path you chose earlier was really slow."

Chu Zhao has always been very good at talking, pointing directly at people's weaknesses. If everyone else knew that He Yan wanted to make a fortune, he would throw out particularly tempting conditions.

But He Yan was unwilling to go with Chu Zhao, she did not trust Chu Zhao.

"I have no plans to leave Liangzhouwei." He Yan refused with a smile, "I also don't think I have the ability to make achievements now."

Chu Zhao stared at her eyes and said slowly, "You don't want to leave Liangzhou Wei, shouldn't that be the reason?"

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and the other party's eyes were smiling, as if seeing through everything. When his mind was caught, he was not as embarrassed as when Lin Shuanghe discovered it, but uncomfortable.

Chu Zhao's sense of proportion is too low.

In fact, He Yan's words are a bit too much. Chu Zhao is gentle and elegant, and it makes people feel like a spring breeze. It's like an ordinary woman who is teased by him like this. He doesn't have deep roots in intercession, but he will gradually let down his guard. However, Chu Zhao met He Yan at the beginning. He Yan appeared to be sincere and loyal on the surface, but deep down, he was not someone who easily trusted others. Especially what happened to He Rufei recently made her more sensitive. Therefore, as long as Chu Zhao got closer, his whole body became vigilant.

When the wind blew, the branches above his head were swayed slightly, and a leaf was blown off, swaying, and fell onto He Yan's hair.

"Really," Chu Zhao still had a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, and reached out with one hand, as if to brush the fallen leaves off He Yan's head, and his voice was also bewitching, "I think about whether you want to leave Liangzhou or not. Guard?"

He Yan: "I..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold voice came in: "You didn't hear it, did she say she doesn't want to?"

He Yan looked back, but after seeing the yard, Xiao Jue came over. He didn't know how long he had been standing here, and how much he had heard. In the darkness of the courtyard, he was tall and handsome, and with the chill of the night, he walked to He Yan's side.

Is this... digging a wall and getting caught? He Yan was crying in her heart, how could such a bad thing happen recently? Every time she encounters Xiao Jue, the misunderstandings will only deepen. She retreated behind Xiao Jue and coughed lightly: "The Governor, the fourth son of Chu came to say goodbye to me. As for the trip, it was just a joke. How could I leave Liangzhou Wei? Impossible."

Xiao Jue glanced at her expressionlessly, and suddenly stretched out his hand, making a gesture to hit her on the head, He Yan was startled, and the next moment, his fingertips landed on the leaf on top of He Yan's head, and gently touched her. Play, the leaves fall to the ground.

He Yan stared at the fallen leaves on the ground, slandering in his heart, was he going to sweep the leaves for her? Even sweeping a leaf is full of murderous aura. It seems that Xiao Jue is particularly angry when she sees her staying with Chu Zhao.

Fortunately, Chu Zhao was about to leave Liangzhou Wei, and He Yan was fortunate in his heart that there would be no such misunderstandings in the future.

"Go in." Xiao Jue said, "I have something to tell Fourth Young Master Chu."

He Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Jue's face. Although he was angry, his expression was also indifferent. This person was calm at all times, and should be angry, he couldn't do anything to beat Chu Zhao. He Yan didn't want to speak for Chu Zhao, but according to the teaching she received, people like her and Xiao Jue beat Chu Zhao, it was called bullying.

Bullying the weak is always wrong.

He Yan said carefully: "Is there anything you can't say in front of me? I promise not to say it."

If Xiao Jue couldn't control herself violently and hurt others, she could still help to stop it.

Xiao Jue turned her head to the side and gave her a fluttering look. With this look, He Yan had nothing to dissuade her. She coughed lightly: "Then I'll go first, you guys speak slowly, you must be calm. Fourth Young Master Chu, I'm leaving."

Chu Zhao was not angry, he just picked up the sachet on the table with a smile and handed it to He Yan: "Give this to Brother He, I have a lot more. If Brother He wears it on his body, he will not be afraid of mosquitoes at night."

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, under Xiao Jue's knife-like gaze, He Yan didn't know what kind of courage he had to take it. She thought to herself, that's all, this time, anyway, there won't be such an opportunity in the future.

After He Yan left, Xiao Jue sat down on the stone bench He Yan had just sat on.

He didn't speak, just looked at Chu Zhao lightly.

Chu Zhao's gentle smile gradually dissipated, and after a while, he slowly said, "Dudu Xiao's food is tight."

When Xiao Jue heard the words, he laughed instead. His expression was lazy, his eyes were as sharp as electricity in his dark pupils, and he said casually: "The fourth son of Chu said that he admitted that he meant to rob?"

"Why use the word robbery?" Chu Zhao's eyes faded for the first time, like a wild beast showing his claws, cold and ferocious, "She is your subordinate, not your woman."

"At least," the young man hooked his lips, "it's 'mine'."

Chu Zhao was noncommittal: "It's just now, how can Dudu Xiao ensure that 'your' will not become 'mine' in the future?"

"If you don't want to die," in the dark, the young governor's face was delicate, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said sarcastically, "You can give it a try."

People who eat melons: Fight, fight!

Please cherish the days of being in the same frame now. .
