Rebirth of a Star General

Back in his room, He Yan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.

The window was open, and a little bit of wind came in, making her extraordinarily awake. It seems that the previous conversation with Xiao Jue is still in his ears.

It turned out that Xiao Jue actually came to make an appointment the night she left the He family to join the army. It's just that fate was wrong, and it happened that they missed it. If you miss it, you will never have another chance. Just as He Yan didn't know that the one who secretly instructed her swordsmanship was Xiao Jue, it is impossible for Xiao Jue to know that the person he secretly helped back then has changed. .

How hard she tried to hide her identity, how much she wanted to thank him as a classmate back then. It turns out that in the past and present, Xiao Jue and her have had so many romantic relationships, but the fate is short-lived, but it is now...

He Yan sat up, thought for a while, then collapsed with determination, walked to the table, and lighted the oil lamp with a fire zither. Zhao Shiming was a scholar, and there were four treasures of the study all over the house. She polished the ink and found the paper. , Sit down at the desk, pick up the pen and write slowly.

...

All matters in Rundu were settled in three days. It was time for Xiao Jue and his group to leave.

Before He Yan left, he found Zhao Shiming.

After the Qiluo incident, He Yan didn't say a word to Li Kuang again. Every time she saw Li Kuang, she would think of the sweet girl with dimples on her cheeks when she smiled. The same is true for Li Kuang. to avoid her gaze.

Therefore, she did not intend to mention some things to Li Kuang.

Zhao Shiming was sitting in the room reading official documents. Rundu was besieged by the Uto people. These days, the merchants in the city were on strike, and everything was in chaos. Now that the Uto people have been defeated and Rundu has returned to peace, it will take time to restore the peaceful days of the past.

"Master Zhao." He Yan approached the room and called him.

Zhao Shiming raised his head from the official document, saw He Yan, was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said with a warm smile, "Master Xiao He is free to come and sit with me today."

Zhao Shiming likes He Yan very much. He is a literati and cannot talk to a rude and reckless man like Li Kuang. As for Xiao Jue and Yan He, one was indifferent and the other was arrogant. He looked at them with awe. He Yan is different, this young man is young, intelligent and brave, kind and loyal, and he is also handsome and handsome. If his granddaughter was too young, Zhao Shiming would have wanted to recruit this young man as his grandson-in-law.

He Yan smiled and said: "Master Zhao is very polite. I came to say goodbye to Master Zhao. I will go back to Shuojing with the Governor tomorrow. I am in Rundu these days. Thank you Master Zhao for taking care of me."

Zhao Shiming liked this young man even more in his heart. Look, he even came to say goodbye to himself. It was really polite, he replied with a smile: "Master Xiaohe, please don't say that, you are the benefactor who saved Rundu. This time, when you come to Rundu, there is nothing to entertain, but Master Xiaohe can't bear it. Don't be wronged. If Lord Xiaohe comes to Rundu in the future, Mr. Zhao will definitely treat him well. I hope Lord Xiaohe doesn't care about the rudeness this time."

He Yan supported Zhao Shiming's hand that was about to salute, and said, "Junior dare not."

To be called a junior? Zhao Shiming was stunned for a moment, but before he recovered, the young man in front of him looked at him, and his expression became solemn: "Actually, today, I have one more thing that I want to ask Master Zhao for help."

Zhao Shiming is no stranger to this look. It was like this when He Yan asked his people to help him send a letter to Yan He. Is this asking for him again? Zhao Shiming was so happy that He Yan was looking for him instead of Li Kuang, which shows that he regarded him as his own. What Wu Anlang asks for is usually a small effort, and it is an honor to be able to help. Thinking of this, Zhao Shiming smiled and said: "Lord Xiaohe, but it's okay. Zhao must do his best."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Shiming saw the person in front of him fluttering the corner of his robe and knelt down towards him.

"You..." He was startled.

"Then, I would like to thank Mr. Zhao."

...

The servants outside didn't know what the people inside were talking about. After a while, when He Yan walked out of the door and the servants went in to deliver tea, he saw Zhao Shiming sitting down at the table, looking dazed and distracted.

"Master?" the servant called to him.

Only then did Zhao Shiming come back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Nothing, nothing."

He squeezed the letter in his hand.

On the other end, He Yan walked out the door and took a deep breath. She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong, but it seemed that this was the best way to get Xiao Jue out.

There was a person walking towards him, as delicate as a flower, it was Yingxiang. When Ying Xiang saw He Yan, she bowed to He Yan: "Master He."

Now, she is no longer called He Yan "Young Master He", but "Master He".

"Miss Yingxiang." He Yan replied, seeing that she was holding something like clothes in her hand, she couldn't help but take a second look.

Yingxiang noticed her gaze, and smiled: "Fourth Young Master, let the servants clean up and leave for Shuojing tomorrow. The sun in Rundu is very good, and the clothes will be dry soon."

"Back to Shuojing?" He Yan frowned slightly, "You are also leaving tomorrow?"

Chu Zhao was originally trapped in the city on the way back to Shuojing because the Uto people were besieging the city. Now that the Uto people are gone, they should leave as well. I just didn't expect that I would walk with Xiao Jue for a day.

"Yeah," Ying Xiang replied with a smile, "Fourth Young Master is walking with everyone, and Governor Xiao also knows about this. There must be other Uto people along the way, so it's better to have someone to take care of if there are many people together."

Xiao Jue is not someone who wants to take care of Chu Zhao, but since Xiao Jue already knows about this, it is useless for her to say anything. When Li Kuang wanted to kill the captive women, Chu Zhao also stood up and spoke, no matter what his purpose was, on the bright side, He Yan should thank him.

"Thank you for me that day in front of the commander-in-chief, the Fourth Young Master stood by the captured women." He Yan said.

Yingxiang's eyebrows and eyes curved: "Okay, Mr. He."

After He Yan left, Yingxiang returned to the house holding the clothes. Chu Zhao was standing in front of the window. Yingxiang put the clothes into the furoshiki. She moved quickly, but after a while, she packed everything.

"Fourth Young Master," Ying Xiang walked to Chu Zhao's side and whispered, "Just now on the road, this servant met Miss He. Miss He asked the servant to speak for her. In front of Master Li, thank you Fourth Young Master for standing up for her. The captive women speak."

Chu Zhao smiled, noncommittal.

After a moment of silence, Ying Xiang said, "Fourth Young Master shouldn't have done that."

Chu Zhao: "Oh?"

"Maybe there are people from Xiangye in the city. Xiangye will be unhappy when he sees the Fourth Young Master like this..."

Xu Jingfu is a person who hates others to make their own decisions. Since the issue of Rundu had nothing to do with him, Chu Zhao not only spoke out, but also brought up Xu Jingfu. Once Xu Jingfu found out, he would definitely be displeased with Chu Zhao.

"Just do it, don't worry about it." Chu Zhao smiled slightly, "As for Master Xiang, I will explain it myself."

"Why did the son do that?" Ying Xiang asked softly, "Even if the son does not take action, with Miss He's ability, no one can embarrass her."

Chu Zhao didn't answer, just looked at the sky outside the window.

why?

It was probably how she stood in front of those women, which reminded him of how Ye Runmei stood in front of him when someone bullied him in the flower building when he was a child. There were few moments in his life when he was protected, except for Ye Runmei, there was only He Yan.

She protects those women just as she protects him in Jiyang. A person protects another person, without selfishness, blood, or even close relationship, just because she thinks she should do it, she does it.

His arrogance is enviable, and his uprightness teaches people to be jealous. He is like a ray of light, and even those who get close can't help but be illuminated. So he stood up at that moment, thinking that he was also a righteous and brave righteous man.

only……

After all, he is not a light, but a shadow.

...

The day to leave Rundu has come.

Li Kuang and Zhao Shiming went out of the city to see them off. The soldiers of Nanfu and Liangzhou Guards did not set out with Xiao Jue. They rushed back to Beijing and took only Yan He's soldiers and horses with them.

The city was desolate. Although there is sunlight, it seems to be covered with a light gray. He Yan felt deeply in her heart. When she left Rundu last time, she was still the "Lieutenant General He", and she also talked and laughed with Li Kuang. Now that she has left Rundu this time, both of them are not like before.

Time has passed quickly, and the vines in Rundu City have already grown new clusters. A group of people stood at the gate of the city, and He Yan was about to mount his horse. At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Lord Xiaohe!"

He Yan turned his head to look.

I saw a lot of people gathered in front of the city gate of Rundu. They didn't dare to go forward, but just stood on both sides of the street and watched them silently. A group of women walked out from the end of the crowd. The woman who called her just now was the one who was in the lead.

They were dressed in neat clothes and had unhealed scars on their faces. It was the same day that He Yan rescued the captives from the Utuo people on the day of the night raid on the enemy camp, and they were also the women who were saved from Li Kuangjian at that time. He Yan, the woman who spoke, still remembered that she was the one who persuaded herself not to conflict with Li Kuang and sacrificed herself with tears on that day.

However, He Yan later learned from Zhao Shiming that the woman originally lived in Zhuangzi outside the city. After the Utuo people came, they killed her husband and son, leaving her alone in the family. She originally thought that she had been spoiled by the Uto people. She was afraid of strange eyes from outside, and because her family members were not there, she had already planned to die. So when Li Kuang came to her, she was the quickest to accept it.

On that day, if He Yan hadn't stood up and Xiao Jue hadn't arrived, perhaps these women would have died under Li Kuang's sword.

Li Kuang's face was a little uncomfortable. There were many things that he didn't feel in the current environment. When things passed, when he looked back, he would realize how crazy he was.

The women walked to He Yan, knelt down one after another, and kowtowed a few times to He Yan without saying a word.

He Yan was stunned: "You..."

"Thank you, Lord Xiaohe." They said.

The women's spirits were much better than in the previous days. Perhaps the food that Yan He brought gave them enough to eat, or perhaps it was what He Yan said that day that gave them the courage to live.

Zhao Shiming walked to He Yan and said in a low voice, "Lord Xiaohe, all these women who still have family members have already gone home. The homeless are now placed together by the government. They will work and weave. In the future... when the situation that Mr. Xiaohe is worried about will not occur."

He solemnly assured He Yan, "Zhao will take good care of them."

He Yan felt a little relieved, and bowed to Zhao Shiming: "Thank you, Lord Zhao."

Zhao Shiming stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes, since I am from Rundu, as Rundu's parental official, I should place them well."

He Yan also laughed, many things in the world are getting better little by little. As long as someone does it, change will happen, no matter how small.

She helped the woman in the lead and whispered, "Let them get up too, and live a good life in the future. Remember, your lives are saved by me. Don't give up your own lives at will."

The woman nodded.

Yan He stood under the city gate, hugged his chest and said, "Why is this boy surnamed He looking at him, he is more popular than you?" He squinted at Xiao Jue, "Isn't he your subordinate? Why are you still Not as good as him?"

Lin Shuanghe smiled and said: "Brother He is gentle and kind, of course everyone likes it. There are not many people in the world who can think of others, and very few can draw swords for the safety of others."

Yan Heji couldn't get used to Lin Shuanghe's lack of business, and sneered, "Brother He, what's going on? Are all of you Liangzhou guards so chaotic?"

"Chaos?" Lin Shuanghe nodded, "There is more confusion, but you don't know it."

Yingxiang stood beside Chu Zhao, quietly watching the girl say goodbye to the rescued women and get on the carriage. The people in Rundu City accompanied those city soldiers. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes followed He Yan, full of gratitude.

She is indeed a likable girl, whether in Jiyang or Rundu.

"Let's go." Chu Zhao turned around and got into his carriage.

The gates of the city are opened, the soldiers and horses are marching, and the sun shines far away at the end of the long road, like a bright road leading to the future.

...

Starting from Rundu, it takes ten days to reach Jinling. After passing through Jinling, go straight to Shuojing.

In the bushes, the soldiers and horses on their way sat down and rested temporarily. Lin Shuanghe was looking at He Yan's roasting bird eggs. He was a young master who didn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers. He was a pampered young master, so naturally he couldn't do such rough work. Although Yan He could cook it too, He Yan saw his grilled fish before, and it was so charred that it was hard to eat, and then he simply came.

Xiao Jue was talking to Chiwu on the other end, He Yan was sitting with Lin Shuanghe, Lin Shuanghe looked at her skillful movements, and sighed, "Brother He, you really can go up the hall, go down to the kitchen, climb over the walls, fight hard. I've seen so many—" He lowered his voice, "Woman, no one can compare to you, really, sister, you are the number one in my heart when you arrive in Shuojing."

He Yan threw the baked egg into his arms, "...a prize."

Lin Shuanghe hurriedly peeled the shell and asked her, "When you arrive at Shuojing, what do you want to do? There is nothing in Liangzhou, and Shuojing is prosperous. If you have time, I will take you to the market every day for my brother."

What time is it, this person is still thinking about playing, He Yan was speechless for a moment, but remembered another thing, she asked Lin Shuanghe: "By the way, why didn't you come to Rundu this time, Dr. Shen didn't come with her? She... ...should also go back to Shuojing."

When He Yan left Liangzhou Wei, she clicked on Shen Muxue's acupuncture point. Although it was to protect her, she was not sure what happened to Shen Muxue later. This time Xiao Jue and Yan He came, and Lin Shuanghe came, but did not see Shen Muxue. But Xiao Jue had to go back to Shuojing, so Shen Muxue had no reason to stay in Liangzhouwei alone.

"Dr. Shen?" Lin Shuanghe answered as a matter of course, "She is a girl, when Huai Jin and I came to Rundu, but it was day and night, how could she bear this, bring her, I'm afraid it will slow us down So I don't need to bring it, doctor, it's enough to have me alone, Huai Jin asked Shen Han and the others to bring Dr. Shen and come later."

He Yan nodded, and the next moment, Lin Shuanghe's face suddenly came closer and looked at her narrowly: "Why did you mention Doctor Shen alone, are you jealous?"

"Eat, what kind of vinegar are you eating?" He Yan was so frightened that he almost put a fork on his head. Hearing that, he just sat up straight and said calmly, "I ordered her acupuncture point before I left, and I feel guilty."

"Is that really the case?" Lin Shuanghe deliberately lengthened his voice, "In this case, all of our Huai Jin's painstaking efforts will be in vain..."

He Yan: "What pain?"

Lin Shuanghe stuffed a bird's egg into his mouth and said slowly, "You don't care if you say it, it's better not to say it."

He Yan was so anxious that he could not wait to grab Lin Shuanghe's head and shake it vigorously to see what was coming out. It's just that Lin Shuanghe is a ghost in the matter of men and women, and he is very close to Xiao Jue. He really wants to get some definite news, so he turned his head and told Xiao Jue, he didn't even have to do it as a friend, but it was extremely embarrassing.

She had to sit reservedly, even though her heart was full of anger, her face was calm: "Then I really don't care, don't say it."

Lin Shuanghe looked at her pretentious appearance, tried her best to hold back her laughter, and only thought to see how long you can hold it.

Young man...hey, young man!

...

In Liangzhou, thousands of miles away, the guardhouse is busy at the moment.

Liang Ping was helping to check the house for anything missing, and they were about to leave for Shuojing soon. Some soldiers and horses were left in Liangzhou Weili, and some were going to Beijing. Shen Han was going to leave with him, and Liang Ping, Ma Damei, and the other head coaches had to stay in Liangzhouwei.

Shen Muxue naturally wanted to leave.

As early as many days ago, when Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe were about to leave for Rundu, Shen Muxue proposed to go together, but Xiao Jue refused. He refused simply, without saying why. On the other side, Lin Shuanghe saw that Shen Muxue's face was ugly, and he smiled and said: "Miss Shen, Rundu is in a critical situation, I will go all the way with Huaijin, eat and sleep in the open air, travel day and night, how can you come with us as a girl? If you stumble and stumble, even if you don’t care, you will be unbearable.”

"Anyway, Coach Shen and the others will set off in the future. When you come back together, Coach Shen will take good care of you. The troops are slow and there are many people. Huai Jin and I are also at ease to protect your safety. Is that right?"

Shen Muxue didn't say anything, Lin Shuanghe just acquiesced and turned to leave with a smile. Shen Muxue looked at his back and asked, "Young Master Lin, Second Young Master Xiao went to Rundu for He Yan."

Lin Shuanghe paused and looked at her with genuine doubts in his eyes: "Why do you think so?"

Shen Muxue pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew it was ridiculous to say that, Xiao Jue was by no means someone who would change easily for someone, but... But, she always felt uneasy.

The voice outside was going to interrupt her memory, and Liang Ping was calling her: "Mr. Shen, is there anything else to put on the carriage?"

Shen Muxue came back to her senses, and went out the door while responding. Outside Liang Ping was standing, the sun was making his face red and sweating profusely. He was holding a stack of boxes in his hand, and was walking staggeringly to the carriage. Xiao Jue was in a hurry when he left, and nothing in the house was cleaned up. Before leaving, he told Shen Han to take everything in his room with him when he returned to Shuojing.

Fortunately, Xiao Jue doesn't have much things, except for some books and clothes.

Seeing Liang Ping walking staggeringly, Shen Muxue stepped forward and said, "Let me help you."

Liang Ping's face turned even redder, "No need, the head coach told me that these are all things belonging to the governor, let me sort them out myself. How can I trouble Doctor Shen?"

He sighed in his heart, Miss Shen is really good-hearted and has no air. As everyone's young lady, I don't despise these warriors.

Shen Muxue didn't know what Liang Ping was thinking at the moment, only listening to Xiao Jue's things, he said: "If you take so much at once, it will inevitably fall. It's okay, I'll help you."

As he said that, he helped pick up the top box, which was not very big. Go forward with Liang Ping.

It was too late for Liang Ping to stop, but seeing that Shen Muxue didn't appear to be struggling, he relaxed a little. He smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Doctor Shen."

The two walked to the carriage together, Liang Ping asked Shen Muxue to get on the carriage first, and then went to move it himself. It was hot outside, Shen Muxue nodded and agreed, she sat quietly with the box in her hands, looking at the soldiers who were busy in the distance, her eyes fell on the box in her arms.

This box looks ordinary, I don't know what is inside. Xiao Jue brought few things with him. Since he wanted Shen Han to bring back to Shuojing, it was very important. However, she picked up the box and weighed it. The box was too light, as if nothing was packed. Could it be empty?

Rarely, she became curious in her heart. It shouldn't be Xiao Jue's official documents or letters. He will only carry these things with him. If he opens it and looks at it... it shouldn't be in the way, right?

Shen Muxue put her fingers on the box and looked out of the carriage. The soldiers were far away from here, and no one saw her movements.

With a click, the box was opened.

Inside are some pens, inkstones, paperweights and the like. It was some small things. She was about to close them when her eyes suddenly froze. After a while, she reached out and took out two things from it.

The same is a face person, the dough has dried out, the color is dark, and it is the appearance of a woman, with a charming smile and a moving look. The other is a wood carving painting. On the painting, the warship capsized and the fire was fierce.

It was a female general.
