Rebirth of a Star General

Except for the little servant who just got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, after that, the journey went smoothly, and there was no one next to him. He Yan cautiously walked to the door of a room and whispered in Xiao Jue's ear, "This is He Rufei's study."

This turned out to be He Yan's study. It's just that it's now He Rufei's. After walking around for a while, he found no other organs, so He Yan gently pushed the door and walked in.

Where she lived, she was familiar with the road when she walked, Xiao Jue went in with her, and He Yan was a little surprised as soon as she entered.

The bookshelves are still the original bookshelves, and the table is also the original table, but the furnishings in the study are several times more, and there are all kinds of porcelain and antiques, which is completely different from when He Yan lived in the past. She guessed that He Rufei had put all the things that His Majesty had bestowed in the study, and she didn't know who he was showing it to. The bookshelves used to be only half full of books, but now they are full.

On the wall in the middle, there is a sword, the body of which is blue and green, and the scabbard is a little green, it is Qinglang.

She was stunned for a moment, her eyes fixed on the Qinglang sword unconsciously, she wanted to reach for the sword, but she retracted it when her fingers were about to touch the blade.

Xiao Jue asked, "What?"

He Yan shook his head: "It's not the time yet."

Even if she can steal Qinglang sword back tonight, if He Ruo will report to the official tomorrow, the sword in her hand will become "booty", and she can't appear in front of people in an upright manner. Isn't this an insult to Qinglang?

So, now is not the time.

He Yan thought for a while, got up and walked to the bookshelf, squatted down, laying half of his body on the ground, reached out and groped for the innermost part, when he touched a familiar protrusion, he let out a slight "click". ” It turned out to be an empty mezzanine. From the mezzanine, He Yan took out a small box the size of a palm.

Xiao Jue asked, "What is this?"

"Exquisite box." He Yan replied in a low voice, "The reward that His Majesty gave me back then was the only one in the world. After I left, I handed this thing to He Rufei, I think he would be reluctant to throw it away."

The hidden boxes on the bookshelf were typed by He Yan in the past. This exquisite box is precious. Before she got married to the Xu family, these things could not be taken away, so they were all handed over to He Rufei. The Linglong Box is very suitable for storing confidential scrolls. Even the best skilled craftsmen in the world cannot open it. Only the person who has set the method for the Linglong box to open it knows how to open it. And the way to enlightenment can only be set up once.

This thing is so precious, with He Rufei's temperament, it should not be discarded. What's more, in He Rufei's view, He Yan was already dead, and he was the only one in the world who knew how to untie the Linglong Box, and of course he was very happy.

He didn't expect that He Yan would come back to life, but this time it was convenient.

"I don't know what he put in it." He Yan thought to himself, picked up the Linglong box, and according to the memory in his mind, lightly twisted the lock on the blind man, but after a while, with a "pop", the lid of the Linglong box opened.

The two looked into the box.

...

In Mrs. He's house, He Xinying and Mrs. He were sitting at the head of the bed, holding the military book stolen from Xu's Heyan's old residence, and asked, "Mother, what is this? My sister stayed here. What is she doing with this?"

Her voice was very low, and there was only a small oil lamp by the bedside in the room, and all the maids were kicked out of the room. He Xinying only said that she hadn't seen her mother for a long time, and she wanted to share with her mother at night, so as to take care of the sick. Now she can't believe anyone, and no one dares to stay by her side, especially the people brought out by the Xu family.

Mrs. He Er stared blankly at the military book in her hand, with tears in her eyes, but did not speak.

He Xinying felt that her mother must know something, and she was even more anxious, "Mother, why don't you talk? Are you hiding something from me? I always think Xu Zhiheng is weird. Eldest sister..." She I wanted to say that maybe He Yan's death was not as rumored, but when he saw Mrs. He Er, he swallowed the words.

If He Yan's death is really not easy, Mrs. He will be more sad when she finds out. Right now, my mother's health is not good, and I must not make it worse.

"Ying'er, don't worry about these things." After a long time, Mrs. He Er spoke with a very tired voice: "You just have to live your life well."

"How can I live a good life? I don't want to die like the eldest sister without understanding!" He Xinying blurted out.

As soon as she said the words, she regretted it. Mrs. He's face turned pale, and she coughed abruptly. He Xinying quickly picked up the handkerchief next to her to wipe her mouth. When the handkerchief fell, there was blood on it. Appalled.

He Xinying was startled and said in a panic, "Mother...why are you so ill?"

When she came, although she already knew that Mrs. He had been in bed for many days, the He family only said that it was an ordinary cold, and it would be good to rest at home for a few days. But now it seems that it is much more serious.

"Dad didn't ask the doctor to see it? What the hell is going on?" He Xinying was anxious, and was about to get out of bed, "I'll ask the doctor to come with a post..."

"Don't go." Mrs. He grabbed her hand. The weak-looking woman was extraordinarily strong when she grabbed someone, as if she was going to use up all her strength, "Mother, this is an old problem. It's okay. It's okay."

He Xinying's tears were about to fall out, "Mother, why don't you tell me anything? I feel that there is something in the house hiding from me, but I don't know anything."

Before she got married, she was carefree, innocent and happy. When her eldest sister died, she married Xu Zhiheng, but it took a while, but soon, she was moved by Xu Zhiheng's tenderness and thoughtfulness. A girl who has never experienced the dangers of the world, naively thought that she could be protected for a lifetime. But when some ugly truths are revealed, and she vaguely glimpses a trace of filth and danger, she will feel powerless as a woman.

"Ying'er," Mrs. He said slowly, "your eldest sister is dead, and you are the only daughter." She looked at He Xinying lovingly, reached out and patted He Xinying's head soothingly, Just like when He Xinying was a child, "you have to remember, whether it's in the He family or the Xu family, don't trust anyone. Mother has no ability, she can't protect your sister, and she can't protect you. You If you want to live well, don’t watch, don’t ask, don’t listen.”

He Xinying said indifferently, "eldest sister became blind soon after she got married to Xu's family. Didn't she see anything? But she was still dead."

A trace of pain flashed in Mrs. He's eyes.

"Mother, you just need to tell me whether this military book was left by the eldest sister, and why Xu Zhiheng is so important to read it. And the big brother, who comes to Xu's house every three or five times, not to see me, but obviously looking for Xu Zhiheng. And you..." She said, "Are you under house arrest by your father?"

Mrs. He looked at the woman in front of her. Although they were biological sisters, she always felt that He Yan and He Xinying did not look alike. He Yan is strong, independent, silent and quiet. She has worn a mask since she was a child, so that when she looks back now, she can't think of what He Yan looked like when she was a child. However, when she grew up, she returned to the He family as a woman, and she had seen so few times.

A girl who was born a little heroic and handsome, with a resolute and resolute eyebrow.

And He Xinying is different, soft and waxy, like a snow-white dumpling, which is pleasing to look at. When someone steps on her feet, she will cry, and act like a spoiled child for a beautiful dress.

The two daughters had completely different temperaments, so she took it for granted that He Yan was born strong, and He Xinying was born to need someone's love.

Until He Yan died.

One day, she suddenly realized that maybe in those days in the past, He Yan, like He Xinying, wanted to cry when she was wronged, and when she saw something she liked, she longed to have it, just like a strong girl also needs her mother. She cares and loves her, and the little girl in front of her who is always clutching at the corner of her clothes and making noises buying candy, has grown up before she knows it.

He Xinying didn't know how similar she was to her dead eldest sister when she sank her face and pursued a truth earnestly and stubbornly.

But even so, she couldn't say anything.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is to He Xinying. She had already lost a daughter, and she must never lose another.

"I……"

Before Mrs. He could say anything, she suddenly heard someone shouting from outside: "There is a thief! There is a thief in the house! Quickly catch the thief!"

When the time came, the whole He Mansion became lively.

"Are there thieves?" He Xinying subconsciously shrank to the head of the bed, and said again, "Which thief without eyes would dare to enter our mansion?"

Mrs. He Er grabbed her arm, "Don't talk, don't go out, be careful!"

He Xinying nodded.

On the other side, He Yan was running around the yard with Xiao Jue, secretly scolding He Rufei for being cunning. Although He Rufei couldn't make any further changes in the way of unraveling the Linglong box, this man was very suspicious, and he actually installed a layer of traps inside the box. Once the Linglong box was opened, a whistle would sound.

In this way, as long as someone opens the exquisite box here, they will be discovered.

However, when she opened it just now, she could see clearly that there were several letters in it. She put the letters in her arms. Since He Rufei didn't leave the exquisite box empty, he deliberately moved his hands and feet. These letters must be very important. , Today's trip is not nothing.

"The guards are all awake." Xiao Jue reminded her, "Escape or fight?"

"I took your sword with me, and as soon as the sword was unsheathed, it was exposed. You can't fight," He Yan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Come with me!"

She had memorized every corner of the He Mansion's yard by heart, and it was easy to avoid people, but I wondered if He Rufei was very guilty these days. Torches and hands popped out from all directions.

"They're over there, chase!"

"The general said that if you catch an assassin, you don't have to stay alive, it doesn't matter if you live or die!"

He Yan sneered in his heart, to be so frightened, and he became more and more certain that the letter in his arms must not be simple. She dragged Xiao Jue and ran fast all the way. When she passed a house, she dodged and went in.

Mrs. He Er was pulling He Xinying against the head of the bed. She was very nervous while holding the quilt. Suddenly, seeing two more people in the room, He Xinying was so frightened that she was about to scream. The next moment, a cold sword lay across her. Above her neck, the masked man in black said, "Shut up, if you dare to scream, I will kill you."

He Xinying was so frightened that she immediately fell silent.

He Yan was holding a long sword, and she was also very annoyed. She originally thought that Mrs. He's yard was closest to the outer wall, so she could borrow a word. Who knew that in the middle of the night, Mrs. He didn't sleep? He Xinying is actually there, why are you here without resting so late, the mother and daughter are whispering? He Yan's heart suddenly felt a sour taste, but what is this now? She personally held her biological mother and sister hostage?

Xu Shi's news spread outside, and a maid asked outside, "Second madam? What happened to the second madam?"

He Yan's heart skipped a beat, and before she could start threatening, Mrs. He Er had already spoken, her tone was as usual, "It's nothing, just a little cough."

There was no movement outside, and He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Xiao Jue behind him, he was staring at the door vigilantly to prevent anyone from rushing in.

"Listen," He Yan whispered, "I have no intention of hurting the two of you. Give me the backyard key and let the two of us leave."

He Xinying said tremblingly, "Who knows if you will kill people?"

He Yan was a little surprised. This younger sister looked so well-behaved, she never thought that she had a bit of courage. She deliberately pressed her throat and said in a negative tone, "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?"

He Xinying's face turned pale and did not dare to speak.

On the other hand, Mrs. He, ignoring the long sword on He Xinying's neck, walked off the bed, took out a key from the drawer, and handed it to her, "Let's go."

He Yan was greatly surprised.

She thought that Mrs. He would also talk to her about the conditions, or try to find a way to inform the He family. He Yan was even prepared to be on guard, but she did not expect her to be so peaceful. He Yan couldn't help but look at the other party. The woman in front of her stared at her with eyes that were complicated by He Yan's incomprehension.

She seemed to be looking at He Yan, and she seemed to be looking at another person through He Yan. If He Yan knew that she was wearing a black scarf on her face, she would almost doubt whether Second Lady He had recognized her.

Seeing that He Yan didn't move, Mrs. He Er pushed her again: "The guards will be here soon, let's go."

Xiao Jue nodded to her: "Go."

He Yan didn't care about anything else, grabbed the key to the backyard and turned to leave. The moment he passed by, he suddenly felt something was stuffed in his hand. She didn't have time to take a closer look, she subconsciously put what was in her hand in her arms, opened the backyard door with the key and ran out.

What Mrs. He said was right, and the chasing troops came in a blink of an eye. When I came, I drilled a dog hole, but when I went back, I didn’t have the time. Since it was exposed, I went directly to the back wall. The guard who was chasing after him was about to follow him when he suddenly felt a pain in his knee. He looked down and saw that the yellow dog who came from nowhere bit his calf. The two men in black disappeared into the night.

...

The house was chaotic up and down, and He Xinying managed to calm down, re-lighting the lamp on the table, patted her chest and said, "Just now, it really scared me to death, that person's eyes are so fierce, I'm really afraid He killed us. Mother, if the uncle knew that we let the assassins go, even if it was to save his life, he would be angry. If no one finds out about this, don't tell others about it... Mother?"

Mrs. He Er just stared at her hand blankly, as if she didn't listen to what she just said. He Xinying said anxiously, "Mother!"

Mrs. He came back to her senses, looked at her and said, "I see, don't tell anyone about this... Uncle Xu, don't say it either."

He Xinying thought it was weird, her mother just saw that the man in black looked very wrong, and then she thought of something, "But are those two really here to steal? I saw that they were empty-handed and didn't steal anything. , my military book... by the way, where is my military book?"

When Mrs. Tong He was talking on the collapse, the military book was on the head of the bed. Now it was empty, and He Xinying was startled. What do you do with the military book? Mother, have you seen my military book?"

Mrs. He Er coughed and said, "No need to look for it, I gave the military book to the man in black just now."

"Why, why?" He Xinying never thought that Mrs. He Er would do this.

"It's a scourge to keep that thing in your hands." Mrs. He Er's expression was empty. "Since those two people came to steal, they were empty-handed. I don't know if they had stolen what they wanted to steal. If they did, It's the icing on the cake, if it doesn't succeed, it's a help in the snow, and it's not in vain for them to take risks and come to the He family."

"Mother," He Xinying was annoyed, "How can there be such a reason, it's something I finally took out from the Xu family."

"Ying'er, you remember," Mrs. He's expression became serious. "Whether it's the assassin tonight or the military book of the Xu family, it's all rotten in your stomach. Don't mention a little bit to others."

He Xinying originally came to understand the confusion, but now there is a mystery that is still unclear, and there are more and more puzzles, but there is nothing to do. In the end, he has to answer: "I see. I won't mention it to others."

...

When Fei Nu was outside, when they received He Yan and the two, they immediately hid in a different courtyard.

"What place is this?" He Yan asked curiously.

"I'm in a different courtyard in Shuojing City. Sometimes it's inconvenient to do things in the house, so it's here." Xiao Jue replied.

He Yan came to understand after a little thought, Xiao Jing and his wife were especially kind, and what Xiao Jue was in was destined to not be understood by most of the world. .

He Yan took out the letter in the Linglong box from his bosom, and raised it to Xiao Jue as if showing off, "Look, this trip is very rewarding, as I said earlier, a trip to He's house will definitely be profitable. "

Xiao Jue glanced at her and said, "It's very dangerous, it's only one time, it's not an example." After a pause, he added: "From tomorrow onwards, He Rufei will definitely use this as an excuse to search the entire Shuojing city, and you will be at home these few days. , don't act rashly. If these letters are lost, He Rufei is the first person to suspect me, I'm afraid it will affect you. "

"It's okay, I'm the Marquis of Wu'an that His Majesty proclaimed anyway. He can't show any evidence, so don't even think about doing anything to me." He Yan couldn't wait to open the letter, "Let's see what the letter says first? If it wasn't hidden so tightly, I wouldn't believe it was a love poem."

There were three letters in total. He Yan and Xiao Jue opened them up and looked at them. They were not long, but after reading them, their expressions changed at the same time.

"You bastard!" He Yan put down the letter in his hand and couldn't help but slammed his fist on the table, "How can there be such a wicked person in the world!"

Of the three letters, two were to the Utuo people, and one was to Xu Jingfu. Although he saw He Rufei's servant Ding Yi as early as in Liangzhou City, He Yan guessed that He Rufei might have a relationship with Xu Jingfu, but there was no evidence. This letter is now clearly written in black and white, and it is so.

In the battle of Huayuan, He Rufei really made a deal with the Uto people. He Rufei sent the military information of the Fuyue Army to the Uto people. He deliberately won a tragic victory, and the price was to be able to connect with Xu Xiang and express himself with Xu Jingfu. Sincerity of cooperation. And in the matter of the Utuo messenger entering Beijing to seek peace, he will strive for peace, and promote the Utuo people to open a market in Dawei.

From the beginning to the end, He Rufei was most afraid of his identity being revealed. The world found that he was different from the "General Feihong" who was good at fighting in the past. But just to cover up his identity, he actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, disregarding the lives of the Wei people, disloyal and dishonest.

Xiao Jue looked at the letter in his hand, and it was troublesome for He Rufei to connect with Xu Jingfu. Xu Jingfu covered the sky with only one hand among the civil servants. Most of the civil servants ruled for peace, and now the main battle is only a few generals. But "General Feihong" has always had a good reputation among military generals. If He Ru was not in charge of peace, there would be very few generals left to fight.

He Yan took a deep breath, "Once such a shameless person enters the officialdom, it really gets worse. It's really disgusting to bear my reputation."

"Don't worry," Xiao Jue said in a low voice, "I have everything."

He Yan suddenly remembered that when she left He's house just now, Mrs. He put something in her hand, but the situation was critical at that time, and she didn't have time to take a closer look, so she put it into her arms. Now that I finally had time, I took it out of my arms.

This is a book that has been rolled for a long time. The paper is wrinkled and yellowed, and the corners of the book are all raised. This book has probably been read many times, and the pages have been touched very thinly. As soon as He Yanfu opened it, he was stunned.

Xiao Jue stood behind her and his eyes fell on the scroll.

"This is……"

"My military book." He Yan murmured, turning his head down a few pages, yes, it was indeed her handwriting. Since she joined the army in her last life, she has read many military books, re-reading the most precious ones, and wrote down her own notes and annotations beside them.

Later, when she got married, everything related to "General Feihong" was thrown away. Swords cannot be taken away, war horses cannot be taken away, and confidants cannot be taken away. In the end, He Yan secretly hid a military book in the dowry box and brought it to Xu's house.

Grandma Xu, who is dignified and gentle in front of people, is no different from ordinary women, but when she is behind, she misses the days when she used to gallop freely on the battlefield. Every time she rubs the scroll with her fingers, she will think of the people who were born and died together in the military camp. partner.

She hid this book of war in the bedpost where she slept, and now, it was lost and found.
