Rebirth of a Star General

Runducheng gradually regained its vitality.

Yan He's soldiers and horses not only drove away the Uto people, but also brought food. The rice grain sent from Huayuan solved the urgent need of Rundu.

"General Feihong is not in Huayuan?" Li Kuang looked at Yan He, who was opposite him, puzzled. "Have already returned to Shuojing? How is this possible?"

"You suspect that I'm lying?" Yan He frowned.

"No," Li Kuang said, "it's just... as early as when Rundu was besieged by the Uto people, I immediately called for General He to come to help. There are three groups of people, so it's impossible to have no news at all. I thought he didn't It's because Huayuan's situation is not good, but... how could he go back to Shuojing?"

"You're going to ask him," Yan He put his hands behind his head, leaning back in the chair and replied nonchalantly, "I'm not familiar with He Rufei."

Li Kuang did not speak.

When the two were silent, someone came in. It was Zhao Shiming. Zhao Shiming first glanced at Yan He, and then said carefully to Li Kuang: "Master Chief Soldier, that... Miss Qiluo is buried today, you..."

Li Kuang heard the words, his expression became ugly, he stood up after a while and said, "Let's go."

Qiluo is not actually a native of Rundu, but her biological parents went early, and now she has no other relatives. It's summer, so I can't bring Qiluo's body back to Shuojing, and I can only bury it on the spot. Buried in a deep forest in Rundu City, the scenery is beautiful, and there is a large grape grove not far away. Qiluo loved to eat grapes during his lifetime, and he will probably be a little happier when he is buried here after his death.

When they got there, they didn't expect Xiao Jue and He Yan to be there. Beside them, there was a young man dressed in white and holding a folding fan. Xiao Jue was fine, but Li Kuang felt uncomfortable when he saw He Yan.

That day, he and He Yan were about to draw knives to face each other in the hall. In the end, although everything came to an abrupt end because of Xiao Jue's appearance, but after the dust had settled, in the dead of night, He Yan's words always lingered in his ears, smashing his night. Can't sleep. On the bed beside him, he seemed to be able to see Qiluo's smiling face as soon as he turned his head, but the sun was shining through the window, and when he opened his eyes, it was empty and he couldn't catch anything.

He failed to become Zhang Xun, but he also lost Qiluo forever.

Such an irony will also become a difficult hurdle for him to overcome in his eternal life. Every day in the future, whenever he thinks of Qiluo, he will be accompanied by countless guilt and pain.

He Yan didn't look at Li Kuang. In fact, she didn't want to look at Li Kuang at all. She fought side by side with Li Kuang. She knew that Li Kuang was righteous and upright, but maybe because she was a woman, she always stood on Qiluo's side in this matter, so she felt how innocent women were.

The coffin was buried, and all the dust settled. He Yan watched the small stele stand up. It was absurd that Qiluo died at the hands of Li Kuang, but the name on the stele was always Li Kuang's wife and concubine.

He Yan lowered his eyes, stepped forward, and placed the small wreath with purple flowers in his hand in front of the stone tablet. This girl once told her that she hoped that she would still be Li Kuang's favorite concubine ten years later. In a way, her wish seems to have been fulfilled, not only ten years, but also in this life, Li Kuang will never forget Qiluo.

In her heart, she didn't know whether it was sadness or irony, but it was already buried in the ground, and it was useless to say anything.

The people gradually dispersed, perhaps because Li Kuang couldn't face He Yan's gaze, he left in a hurry without even greeting He Yan. The three of He Yan walked behind, Lin Shuanghe glanced at her secretly, and whispered, "Sister He, don't be sad."

He Yan is a woman, and women should be softer in the end. Lin Shuanghe also knew that He Yan especially couldn't bear the injustice of the world towards women. Li Kuang wanted to defend the city without fault, but his concubine took all the burden and paid the price with his life. In his view, it was too ruthless.

He has been busy treating wounded soldiers with the medical officer in Rundu for the past few days, and he has not had time to catch up with He Yan. Today was the first time I saw He Yan in Lairundu. When I saw it, I felt that He Yan had lost a lot of weight. She was originally thin and thin, but now it seems that she was thin and weak as if the wind was blowing. It seems that there is no food in the city, and it looks like this because of starvation.

He Yan shook his head: "I just feel... a little helpless."

In the world, after all, the majority think like Li Kuang, and the few think like herself. Not to mention the injustice in the whole world, like right now, she can't save even a single Qiluo. Personal ability is really insignificant. It is difficult to go to heaven to change the views of the world.

"However," He Yan smiled, "I didn't expect the Governor to come in and stand by my side that day." She looked at Xiao Jue, "I still remember what the Governor said."

Xiao Jue said, "I didn't say that."

He Yan was startled.

Of course, she knew that that sentence was not said by Xiao Jue. It was when she was in the Xianchang Pavilion when she answered her husband's words. She didn't expect Xiao Jue to remember it. mouth.

"Then... who said that?" she asked tentatively.

Xiao Jue looked ahead without saying a word, but what appeared in front of him was many years ago, in the afternoon of the spring day in Shuojingxianchang Pavilion.

At that time, he was still young and went to the school with his classmates. The sun in the spring is very warm, and the sun makes people dream. He was dozing off with his eyes closed, casually listening to Mr. The hero of the previous dynasty killed his concubine and the three armies and won the reputation of righteousness. The teenagers are scrambling to speak, everyone thinks he is a "hero", he does not participate in it, the world is like a chess game, people are like ants, when the time is long enough, whether it is a "hero" or a "concubine", it is nothing It is a trivial drop of water in the torrent of history. It doesn't matter whether it can make a splash or not.

It will eventually pass.

His sweet dream was only halfway through when he heard his husband say, "He Rufei, do you have a different opinion?"

He Rufei?

Xiao Jue remembered that Young Master He. Among the talents in the Xianchang Pavilion, the stupid one was particularly conspicuous, but he worked hard. If it was like Lin Shuanghe who had recognized himself early, he would have written his lofty ambition to "change his life against the sky" all over his body. Such a person would probably find it ridiculous in the mundane world, but the pure enthusiasm of such a young man is not annoying.

Actually being named by the husband, I want to go along and say some vague answers. Xiao Jue didn't open his eyes and listened calmly.

"People in the world say that Zhang Xun is a loyal minister and a righteous man. It's true, but why aren't those who were eaten innocent? I can understand his choice, but if it were me... I would never do it."

The boy who closed his eyes and snorted, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings parked on a flower, startled by the occasional breeze.

"Oh? How are you?"

"I should take the remaining soldiers and fight the rebels to the death outside the city. The person holding the sword in his hand should understand where the sword is pointing, whether it is facing the enemy in front of him or the weak behind him."

What a childish, innocent, righteous and awe-inspiring words. A sneer appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, the sun broke through the window, awakening his beautiful dream. The golden light shone on the slender and short back in front of him, and the original inconspicuous person, at a certain time, was as dazzling as a mountain stream rainbow.

"I will never draw a sword against the weak."

He seemed to be looking at He Rufei seriously for the first time. The mask covered the other person's face. No matter how stupid this person was at any time, his posture was always straight forward.

The ridicule on the boy's lips dissipated, and gradually, the corners of his mouth twitched. He raised his eyes and looked out the window, only to feel that the spring was beautiful and beautiful, and even the idiots who were laughed at on weekdays would look respectable.

Maybe he wasn't stupid.

When Shen Lin came to the end, Xiao Jue did not answer He Yan's words. When he got here, he stopped and said, "I have something to look for Li Kuang, so you don't have to follow me."

He Yan nodded and watched Xiao Jue leave first.

Her relationship with Xiao Jue now is really delicate. It can't be said to be a subordinate. From the conferring of His Majesty, her official position is naturally not comparable to Xiao Jue, but it is not a soldier of Xiao Jue. But if it is not a subordinate, Wu Anlang has no real power. If he does not follow Xiao Jue, he will not even be able to do anything.

Lin Shuanghe waved in front of her: "Sister He?"

He Yan regained his senses, "Brother Lin."

"I was too busy a few days ago, and there was not enough medical officer in Rundu, so I had to bite the bullet." Speaking of this, he complained a little, "I am now called 'The Holy Hand in White'. The head is too cheap. I don’t take a penny. I don’t know. I thought I was a normal person and liked to be a good person. Sister, when you return to Beijing, you can’t tell others that I have treated women in places other than Shuojing. Rules I can't break it, if others find out, everyone will come to me for treatment, and the threshold of our Lin family will be broken."

Lin Shuanghe, no matter when, can worry about some issues that shouldn't be worrying about. He Yan was speechless for a moment and said, "I remember."

Lin Shuanghe was relieved and said, "I haven't asked you yet, how is your life here? You are so amazing, you came to Rundu without saying hello. Liangzhou Wei almost made a scene. Chaos, what do you think? Even if we want to make achievements, let's take it easy, why come to such a dangerous place, even if we seek wealth and wealth in danger, we have to save our lives first, and then plan for the future."

Knowing that he was joking, He Yan just smiled.

"Sister He," Lin Shuanghe looked at her, stopped shaking his fan, and thought for a moment, "Why do I feel like I haven't seen you for so long, you've changed a lot?"

"Have it?"

"Yes." Lin Shuanghe answered affirmatively.

From the first time Liangzhou Wei saw He Yan, even if she was seriously injured and half-dead by Rida Muzi, this girl was still alive and kicking, radiating warmth and heat like the sun all the time. There is always light and vitality in the eyes. Now it's only more than a month, when I see He Yan again, the girl seems to have a lot of worries, and she seems to be strangely quiet. It was as if something cut off her happiness overnight and gave birth to another self.

Some unfamiliar, gloomy, with something to isolate themselves from others, unable to approach.

"What happened?" he asked.

He Yan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay." But she suddenly remembered another incident, and asked Lin Shuanghe, "Brother Lin, what happened to Liangzhouwei these days when I left Liangzhouwei?"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Shuanghe touched his chin, "You think something is wrong."

He Yan hesitated for a while, but still said, "I saw the Governor this time, and he didn't ask me why I came to Rundu alone, nor did he reprimand me, it seemed very calm. Don't you think this is a bit strange? Not like that."

Lin Shuanghe's eyes moved, and he smiled: "This is an obvious thing. You came to Rundu to save the people of Rundu. Since it is to save people, Huai Jin will definitely not say anything. You These days are busy and tiring. Huai Jin is worried that you are too late, so why would he scold you? Sister He, you may have misunderstood Huai Jin. He is not really that ruthless. He is very gentle, especially to those he likes. people."

He Yan: "..."

Lin Shuanghe didn't answer what he asked, and He Yan didn't know what to say for a while. After a moment of silence, I had to say, "Forget it, if he doesn't care about this matter, I don't need to worry about it all the time." Now, what is more important is He Rufei. He Rufei has committed such a great evil, and she doesn't have much time. A little revenge. As long as He Rufei holds the title of "General Feihong" for one day, it will be a disaster for the people of Great Wei.

"Don't think too much," Lin Shuanghe reassured her: "In a few days, we will return to Shuojing. When we return to Shuojing, I will take you around for a relaxing time for my brother. By the way, so does your home. From Shuojing, right? It's also a good thing for you to be reunited with your father and brother after you go back. But your identity is a little troublesome...but it's not a big deal. The soldiers will block the water and cover up the soil. Let's find a way together, and we can always come up with a solution. road."

"Back to Shuojing?" He Yan was taken aback. She wanted to go back to Shuojing, but it was her own idea, how could Xiao Jue also go back after hearing what Lin Shuanghe said?

"Not long after you left Liangzhou Guard, Huaijin received an order from Beijing to bring some of the Liangzhou Guard recruits and Nanfu soldiers back to Shuojing. It was just that we were all worried about the situation in Rundu. Arrived, the soldiers and horses are behind. They have to go back after all. Now the Uto people are in this battle, the world can’t be as peaceful as before. It’s better to go back earlier.”

Lin Shuanghe looked at her and said strangely, "Why, don't you want to go back?"

He Yan shook his head: "No. It's just a bit of an accident."

If Xiao Jue wants to go back, doesn't it mean that they have to walk together again. He had clearly made up his mind to stay far away from him, so as not to implicate others, but now it seems that Nie Yuan is extraordinarily stubborn. Coexistence is inevitable. It's just that her feelings towards Xiao Jue are extremely complicated right now, because He Rufei's actions forced her to face some problems.

And mixing Xiao Jue in is really harmful and not beneficial.

That's all, it's over, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless. It really can only be as Lin Shuanghe said, the soldiers will block the water and the soil, let's go and watch.

She said a few more words to Lin Shuanghe before leaving. Lin Shuanghe looked at He Yan's back, put the handle of the fan against his chin, thought for a moment, and then sighed to himself: "There is no reprimand... It seems that the second son of Xiao is really powerful once he is enlightened. one."

He happily followed.

...

He Yan said goodbye to Lin Shuanghe and planned to go back to the house to write about the situation of the Utuo people he met in Rundu. In each battle, some clues can be found from it, knowing ourselves and the enemy, and we will not be in danger in a hundred battles. Before she got to the house, she happened to see someone practicing martial arts in the backyard. The practitioners were very active. The grass and trees in Rundu had been plucked bare because of the famine. It was cut off, leaving only a bare tree trunk, which looked extremely pitiful.

Hearing someone coming, the man stopped his movements, put Fang Tianji by his side, and looked back. Silver-robed halberd, long hair tied high, arrogant and proud, who is not Yan He?

"General Yan." He Yan said.

"Oh, it's that He Yan." Yan He walked to the side, and his subordinate handed him a handkerchief soaked in water. Yan: "Sit."

He Yan thought for a while and sat down beside him.

"Did you just peek at me practicing guns?" Yan He said, "How about you? Haven't you seen such brilliant gun skills before?"

He Yan was speechless for a moment, then smiled slightly: "It's really brilliant. Looking around, in the entire Great Wei Dynasty, there is no other person with such spear skills, except for General Yan."

When Yan He heard the words, the corners of his mouth cocked up proudly, and his gaze towards He Yan softened a lot. He hummed, "You have the vision."

He Yan sighed in his heart, after so many years, Yan He's temperament really hasn't changed at all, as long as he follows his hair, it's easy to please him.

When they were in the Xianchang Pavilion, if Lin Shuanghe and He Yan were fighting for the last one, Yan He and Xiao Jue were fighting for the positive number one. However, the contest between the two of them is not very suspenseful. Every time, Yan He is the second, and Xiao Jue is the first.

The young people who study in the academy have good family backgrounds, and they are all dragons and phoenixes. However, Yan He's competitive spirit was particularly strong. He Yan still remembered that in the academy at that time, Yan He had to challenge Xiao Jue every three or five times, probably like challenging her in Liangzhou Wei Wangba.

Xiao Jue was too lazy to pay attention to such a challenge most of the time, and was really annoyed by the entanglement, so he had a test with Yan He. Both civil and military, bow and horse, each time is the same result, Yan He has been defeated and fought again and again. In fact, at this point, He Yan always felt that Yan He and her still had some similarities, but unfortunately, although she was sympathetic to each other, Yan He did not appreciate it.

Yan He hated He Yan very much.

He is arrogant by nature, his eyes are higher than the top, and he probably thinks that trash is not worth a second glance. It would be fine if he had expertise like Lin Shuanghe, but He Yan was useless. In the Xianchang Pavilion, uselessness was a sin. When Yan He was young, he really did everything he could to tease He Yan, make He Yan embarrassed in front of everyone, stumble on her secretly, and deliberately hit his horse during the bow horse competition.

Speaking of which, Yan He should be the first person He Yan hated the most when he was studying in Xianchang Hall.

Later, she left the Xianchang Pavilion to join the army, Xiao Jue joined the army, and soon after, Yan He joined the army, but Yan He is also a son of his father's business, which is reasonable. Now that he is young, he is not bad. Rundu was in critical condition that day, and He Yan wrote the letter of request for help to him, thinking that with Yan He's temperament, he should come.

Although I didn't expect him to come with Xiao Jue.

If it was a few years ago, He Yan would never have imagined that one day he would sit and talk with Yan He calmly. In fact, she didn't know where she offended Yan He back then. It stands to reason that she didn't say a few words to Yan He, and she didn't interfere with him. What about her?

This question can be regarded as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of He Yan's youth. Now Yan He is sitting beside her, although there are still shadows of youth between his eyebrows, but... it can be considered a lot more peaceful. It has been so many years, and he still hates "He Rufei", what kind of power is this?

He Yanzhuang said unintentionally: "That's natural. Everyone says that there are two famous generals in Great Wei, one is General Feihong and the other is General Fengyun, but I don't think they are. But that General Feihong is really not as good as he said. Rundu and Huayuan are close at hand, and he does not come to help the city. Moreover, in the previous battle of Huayuan, he still won a terrible victory. How can I see him as General Yan? I don't know how it got famous."

Generally speaking, scolding He Rufei to death can win Yan He's favor. That's right.

Sure enough, when Yan He heard the words, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "You Wu An Lang, I think you are very different from others. Just in terms of vision, you have already surpassed many people. Although I don't agree with what you said. Xiao Huaijin is amazing, but He Rufei, you are so right! He is indeed not as good as me!"

He Yan rolled his eyes silently in his heart, while agreeing: "Yes, but General Yan, don't you like General Feihong? I thought that all generals like him."

"Don't like it?" Yan He shook his head and said nonchalantly, "It's not really, I just think he's not up to the mark and doesn't deserve this title."

He Yan was overjoyed, is this about to uncover the ten unsolved mysteries of her youth? After so many years, she can finally know why Yan He is always targeting her?

"What does it mean to be unsatisfactory?" He Yan tilted his head to look at him, his eyes full of real doubts.

Because he also disliked He Rufei, Yan He was very pleased with the young man in front of him, and without thinking about it, he said, "Of course I don't live up to it, I got Xiao Huaijin's swordsmanship guidance, but I still practiced like that. If it were me, I could do 10,000 times better than him. Xiao Huaijin is also very strange. What kind of vision is it that the talented people in the school do not teach and spend time teaching a fool. But he is stingy with following I have a contest, you say, how can there be such a person in the world?"

"Swordsmanship...pointing?"

"Yeah," Yan He glanced at her, "I didn't expect that the so-called unparalleled swordsmanship of General Feihong was actually taught by Xiao Huaijin. Do you feel sick?"
