Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 177 The Concubine

For several days, He Yan could not see Li Kuang.

Li Kuang seemed to be deliberately not seeing him, He Yan could not find his person, and his subordinates refused to tell He Yan where he was going. He Yan blocked Li Kuang several times, but Li Kuang also looked like he didn't want to talk to her more. He Yan had no choice but to say: "Master Li, before coming to Rundu, I have asked someone to ask for reinforcements. Besides, I have also said that it is not impossible for the troops of Rundu to fight against the Utuo people, so why should Master Li guard? On a dead end, blocking your own way alive?"

"This is in Rundu, not in Liangzhou." Li Kuang's attitude was also very strong, and he was not moved by He Yan's words, "Although you are Wu Anlang, who was proclaimed by His Majesty, you are not powerful enough to order me. I am very grateful for your help regarding the night attack on the enemy's camp, but at this point, you should not interfere with what I do in the future."

He Yan looked at him carefully. When he first came to Rundu, although Li Kuang also had a sad expression between his brows, he was still a little angry, but now his expression was wrong, his eyes were gloomy, as if he had made up his mind, never. Shaky stubbornness.

He was obviously in a bad mood, but it wasn't just because of the Uto people, He Yan could sense it.

"Master Li... How are you going to deal with the famine in the city?" He Yan asked, looking at his back.

Li Kuang shook for a while and said, "I said it before, I have my own way, it's none of your business!"

He Yan walked around in front of Li Kuang and looked him in the eyes, "Master Li, I'm really not from Rundu, but I know the current situation very well. Things haven't reached the worst stage yet, we burned the black If you trust people's food and grass once, you can kill their soldiers and horses next time. If Master Li always holds the heart of burning jade and stone, this battle will not be able to be fought. This city can't be defended at all."

What she said was really serious. An angry look appeared on Li Kuang's face, "What do you know!"

"I know that if Mr. Li wrongly estimates the current situation, he will make the wrong decision."

There was a little anxiety in Li Kuang's eyes. He endured and endured, and finally he couldn't help but pushed He Yan away from him and said, "How to do it, I have my own opinion, I don't need your advice!"

He strode out, not giving He Yan a chance to speak at all.

He Yan frowned and stared at his back, feeling more and more uneasy.

She is not dealing with Li Kuangchu, Li Kuang's reaction is clearly annoyance at the end of the road. He didn't want to believe He Yan's other method, and He Yan couldn't convince him, so he couldn't command these troops in Rundu. Even if she knocked Li Kuang unconscious, the soldiers in Rundu would not obey her orders - Li Kuang had been leading these soldiers for too long.

Perhaps because of this, he would not choose the "risky" decision He Yan said.

She walked out of the house slowly, with a lot of thought. In the past few days, even Zhao Shiming has come out less and less and less food. It's okay not to walk around when hungry, but as soon as he walks, he feels more and more hungry.

Huyat hadn't attacked Rundu yet. The sneak attack that night, and the food and grass was burned. I'm afraid that the Uto people will not be as calm as they seem in the past few days. Suddenly Yat wanted to attack the city immediately, but the existence of "General Feihong" made them a little bit afraid.

But this fear will eventually dissipate, and Hu Yate will always find out the truth. As long as he sends someone to the Huayuan area, he will know that the one in Rundu City is a fake. The moment Huyat found out that "General Feihong" was fake, he would immediately launch a siege on Rundu. So these few days are actually the days He Yan won for the people of Rundu.

But Li Kuang is stubborn and conservative.

As he was walking, he ran into Qiluo head-on. Compared to when He Yan first arrived in Rundu, this girl also looked a little thinner. The original oval face with a hungry chin was a little less sweet and more charming. Just as soon as she saw He Yan, she smiled and rolled her eyes, showing a familiar smile: "Lord Xiao He."

"Miss Qiluo."

"Have you quarreled with the master?" Qiluo pointed to the door, "I just saw the master go out in a rage. Lord Xiaohe, don't be angry with the master, the master has a straighter temperament, but he is a good person. If you offend the Lord Xiaohe, the concubine will make up for it on behalf of the Lord and the Lord."

She was wholeheartedly thinking of her master. He Yan shook his head with a wry smile, "It's okay, we just have some disagreements."

Kira nodded understandingly.

Seeing that she was holding a bunch of garland-like things in her hand, He Yan was a little strange and asked, "There are still flowers?"

All the food in Rundu was eaten by hungry people. How could there be flowers to weave a wreath, Qiluo smiled and handed the wreath to He Yan, He Yan took it, seeing that the wreath was very small, I don't know what kind of grass it was made of, and it was dotted with scattered purple flowers. , He Yan approached to smell it, but Qiluo hurriedly stopped him: "You can't smell it, Lord Xiaohe, this flower is poisonous!"

He Yan: "Poisonous?"

"Heartbroken grass, the more beautiful it grows, the more poisonous it is. Everyone in Rundu knows that, so no matter how hungry you are, you won't pick it up and eat it. Otherwise, why would I use it to weave a garland." She sighed again, "No matter how hungry you are. When the poisonous weeds always grow extravagantly, if only the crops in the fields could do the same."

Seeing that He Yan was silent, Qiluo smiled again: "Master Xiaohe is interested in this garland? My concubine can teach Master Xiaohe to make such a wreath, maybe give it to your sweetheart, and your sweetheart will be very happy."

She was still thinking about He Yan's unwarranted "sweetheart", and He Yan was a little dumbfounded, thinking that if she made a wreath and gave it to Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue would probably think that she was sick, and it would be fine if she didn't kill her.

"Forget it," He Yan shook his head, "He doesn't like these flowers and grasses. Miss Qiluo's kindness is in his heart."

Qiluo was a little disappointed, took the wreath from He Yan's hand, and said, "Okay, but how come no girl likes flowers and grass? When the master picked flowers for me, I was happy for a while."

"Master Li?" He Yan thought to himself. He never expected that Li Kuang's fierce temperament would even pick flowers for his beloved concubine.

"Yes," Qiluo nodded desperately, as if afraid of He Yan's disbelief, "It was picked for me this morning, and I made a wreath by hand."

He Yan's original smile stopped, "Today?"

"That's right," Qiluo laughed, "My lord has been very good to me recently." She forgot to say "concubine", and only cared about sharing her joy with He Yan, "Promise to wait for the war in Rundu, and then Give me a bigger house, and allow me to plant plum trees in the yard. I also saved my dry food for me yesterday."

As he spoke, Qiluo's own face also showed confusion, "Could it be that I was born to look better recently? Or my dead mother bless me in the sky, the master is so obedient to me, I almost don't know it. He is."

He Yan's heart sank, and the terrifying guess reappeared in his mind. She asked Qiluo, "Apart from this, what's wrong with Master Li recently?"

"No." Qiluo shook his head, and complained about He Yan, "But Mr. Xiaohe, how can you be wrong to being nice to me? The lord used to be nice to me, but now it's just better for me. Probably It's 'the truth is seen in adversity', now that I am with the master, the master must be moved."

He Yan frowned and took a step forward, "Miss Qiluo, you'd better avoid Lord Li these days."

"Why?" Qiluo asked.

He Yan looked at her, the girl with the moon and the beautiful face had grown up a lot, and her smile was always a bit cunning like a fox, which made her look smart, smart, and very endearing, but her eyes were still transparent. out of naivety.

A charming and charming beauty, a... woman who is powerless.

"Maybe... Master Li will hurt you." He Yan said solemnly.

Qiluo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Sir Xiaohe, what do you mean by this, it's too late for the master to spoil me, how could he hurt me?"

He Yan knew that she didn't believe it. In fact, women always think of men as being very affectionate, but I don't know... As everyone knows, there are prerequisites for that kind of affection.

"When the world is peaceful and prosperous, girls are naturally worthy of love." He Yan's voice was low, so low that people could hardly hear the pain in her voice, "But in a chaotic world, human life is like a mustard, for Mr. Li, No matter how heavy the girl is, she is nowhere near the city of Rundu."

Qiluo: "I still don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." He Yan looked up at her, "Master Li is very busy all day, you shouldn't be alone with him these few days. When you have nothing to do during the day, go somewhere else. Let’s go and find Master Zhao or others, in short, if you can’t see Master Li, you won’t see Master Li.”

Qiluo looked at her strangely, what this young Wu Anlang said was inexplicable, how could someone persuade him to distance himself from his master? If it wasn't for the fact that she knew that He Yan led a sneak attack on the enemy camp a few days ago and rescued the captured women, Qiluo would have doubted whether this person was a bad person.

She said: "Sir Xiaohe, I... I am the concubine of the master, it is impossible to see the master."

"As soon as the war in Rundu is over, you can see me as you want, but for now, stay away from her!"

The young man's eyes are very clear and dark, and when he looks at people, he is extremely powerful. Qiluo nodded subconsciously and shook his head again.

He Yan also hesitated in her heart. She is now "Wu'an Lang", no matter how suspicious and worried about Qiluo, it is impossible to keep other people's concubine by her side and make people talk about it. If this is the case, I am afraid that Li Kuang will feel that she has become the first. Two Jiang Jiao, maybe they will really cut Qiluo. She said, "Go to Master Zhao's wife, and be with her during the day. If Master Li suddenly wants to find you, you can ask someone to tell me, and I will go with you."

Qiluo was a little suspicious, but He Heyan insisted, and finally agreed. After thousands of exhortations, He Yan went to Wang Ba and the others.

On the day of the night attack, Wang Ba and the others followed her and were also injured. Shitou and Jiang Jiao are okay, Wang Ba injured his leg, it is not serious, Huang Xiong's wound is deeper, the injury is on the left hand, the knife scar is very deep, it is not the right hand at all, if not, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold the knife in the future. .

Anyway, they are keeping it. When they got inside the house, Hong Shan and Huang Xiong were both sleeping, Shi Shi and Mai went to help repair the weapons and shields, and only Jiang Jiao and Wang Ba were sitting by the threshold.

Seeing He Yan, the two raised their heads and Jiang Jiao said, "Brother He, how is it?"

He Yan shook his head.

Wang Baqi didn't say anything: "What's the matter with the surnamed Li? He looks so tall and strong, how dare he be so small? He's been staying in the city like a tortoise? My motherfucker has been hungry these days. If you lose weight, if you go on like this, everyone will starve to death together, and you will still be starved to death when you get to the underground, it is better to die when you kill the Uto people!"

Jiang Jiao said: "Master Li is also afraid that the city will be buried with all the people, but..." He looked at He Yan, "I asked the soldiers here, and they have already run out of food. These days, we have all relied on bringing them from Liangzhou. The dry food that came over, just this little dry food, was eaten up yesterday. From yesterday to now, we haven't eaten anything, so we can't go on like this."

"That's right! In this city of Rundu, even the mice were taken out and eaten, and there was not a single worm. This motherfucker wants us to eat the table? What was Li Kuang thinking? I knew that the day when the food and grass were burned, there were too many. If you can’t take it with you, just grab a handful and put it on your body, and you can withstand it for half a day.”

Jiang Jiao was both funny and angry, "It's all at that time, how can I take care of so much. Brother He," he looked at He Yan, "Don't you have any other way?"

"The food and grass of the Utuo people are burned, but they can hunt outside the city, so they won't starve to death." He Yan was worried, "If it takes longer than anyone else, the people of Rundu will definitely not be able to consume the Utuo people. Therefore, Li Kuang's idea is absolutely impossible. And now he doesn't agree to go out of the city and face the Uto people head-on, I can't order Rundu troops, I can only seek foreign aid, just..."

It's just that I'm afraid that before that day, Rundu will have a big mess first. Li Kuang's attitude these days is very wrong.

She sighed and said nothing.

...

On the other end, Qiluo went to find Mrs. Zhao.

Although He Yan's performance was strange, it was very strange that Qiluo always had an indescribable intimacy towards He Yan. Therefore, although she didn't believe what He Yan said at all, she was still willing to do as He Yan said. Now Li Kuang is very busy every day, and she can't take care of her. She can go wherever she wants during the day, but she is more free than before.

Mrs. Zhao was holding her little grandson with a sad face. Her daughter-in-law was seriously ill in bed, and it was useless for the doctor to come several times. Everyone knows that this is a disease caused by starvation. Without food, of course, you will not be able to maintain your health. Mrs. Zhao herself was starving and undressed. A good magistrate's lady, now her clothes are much larger, and her exposed arms are so weak that they can be broken with force.

Qiluo thought in his heart, the charming ladies in the city used to be clamoring to eat less every day, and they looked thin and light and lovable. I'm afraid that once the war is over, no one will think like this anymore. The taste of hunger is really unbearable, a flower must drink enough dew by itself before it can be displayed to others.

Mrs. Zhao only said a few words to Qiluo, and then she closed her mouth with a sad expression. At this time, she was so hungry that she didn't even want to say a word.

Qiluo sat with her for a while, and a soldier came over from outside and said to Qiluo, "Miss Qiluo, my lord is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Qiluo was a little surprised. Li Kuang was busy with the war in Rundu all day. If she hadn't taken the initiative to find Li Kuang, Li Kuang would never have come to her. But thinking of Li Kuang's special love for her these few days, Qiluo felt joy in her heart. Probably the only benefit of the war in Rundu was that Li Kuang could see her loyalty. Maybe this love can last more than three years, ten years. year is very likely.

At this moment, she was only filled with the joy of fantasy in her mind. She had already forgotten about He Yan's instructions. She happily lifted the corner of her skirt and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go see the master now."

Qiluo followed the soldier to the house, not only Li Kuang alone, but also Li Kuang's deputy soldiers and several adults in Rundu City. There are also a few Li Kuang confidants, Qiluo is a little strange, she thought it was Li Kuang who missed her and wanted to be gentle with her, so many people didn't seem to want to be gentle. Maybe someone big is coming? She, the most beautiful girl in Rundu, wants to fight for Li Kuang's face? But this is also not right. If there is a big man, why is Zhao Shiming, the magistrate, not there?

She stepped forward and said, "Master."

Li Kuang turned his back to her when he heard the words. These days, he is haggard and old, and standing with Qiluo really looks like Qiluo's father. General Feihong, the famous general of the Great Wei Dynasty, also made fun of this, but Qiluo didn't think there was anything. Her own father died early, and Li Kuang gave her food, a house, and shelter. Many biological fathers in this world cannot do this for their daughters. And Li Kuang is a hero who protects the people. She admires him and never thinks there is anything wrong with him.

At this moment, her "husband" looked up at Qiluo. There was a deep meaning she couldn't understand in his eyes, which seemed to be painful, but also seemed to be mixed with coldness. After watching this for a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Qi Luo, how long have you been with me?"

Qiluo tilted her head and thought for a while, "Go back to the master, the concubine has been with the master for more than three years, and when this summer is over, it will be four years."

Li Kuang loves her very much, so he takes her with him everywhere he goes. His own wife and son are in Shuojing, and he has to support his parents. However, a young and beautiful lady like Qiluo has followed him for many years without any complaints.

He was straightforward and arrogant in his life, and did not like women's intrigue. Qiluo had some innocuous scheming, and more, was a pure enthusiasm. She is easily satisfied, and always clearly writes the word "fight for favor" on her face. She treats people and things very politely, and her colleagues envy him for having such a flower of Jieyu. In fact, Qiluo never really enjoyed anything.

As his concubine, Qiluo's past is not as good as those women in Beijing.

Li Kuang murmured, "It's been four years..."

His tone was heavy, and Qiluo felt a little scared inexplicably. She turned her head to look at the people around her, and the soldiers around her who used to be familiar with her turned their heads away and avoided her gaze.

Why is this?

Rao is that no matter how smart she is on weekdays, she can't understand the reason, so she stared at Li Kuang with those wet eyes like grapes, her eyes full of doubts.

There was also a flash of pain in Li Kuang's eyes, and after a while, he said, "Come here."

Qi Luo Yiyan stepped forward.

...

He Yan and Jiang Jiao talked for a while, and Shitou and Hongshan also woke up. Mai and Shishi helped repair the weapons, and went back to the house to see He Yan, and only asked, "Brother Ahe, aren't you going to look for Master Li today?"

"I've already found it." He Yan shrugged.

Jiang Jiao thought for a while, "How about we accompany you to find Master Li? Let's persuade him together?"

He Yan actually felt that Jiang Jiao's move would not have much effect, and Li Kuang's attitude was too firm. However, it has already reached this point, and the dead horse is simply used as a living horse doctor. He got up and said, "Okay, you can try again."

Back then, Liu Buwang accepted her as his apprentice because he was annoyed to death by her. Li Kuang's patience was not as good as Liu Buwang's, maybe it could be the same, although the result of doing so was most likely that Li Kuang and her drew swords against each other. .

He Yan took a group of people to look for Li Kuang again, walked halfway, passed Zhao Shiming's yard, and saw Zhao Shiming's wife sitting at the door holding her little grandson in a daze, He Yan was stunned, and stepped forward and asked, "Mrs Zhao, Didn't you see Miss Qiluo?"

Before she left, she clearly agreed with Qiluo and asked Qiluo to find Mrs. Zhao. Why does it seem that there is only Mrs. Zhao alone?

Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to understand He Yan's words, so she answered after a while, "She was called away by the commander-in-chief."

He Yan's heart skipped a beat, and without saying a word, he immediately ran to Li Kuang's yard. Wang Ba and the others behind him didn't know why. Wang Ba asked, "Why is he so nervous? He has an affair with that woman?"

Hong Shan: "Don't talk nonsense! Ah He just arrived in Rundu not long ago."

"Then he can also attract bees and butterflies." Wang Ba muttered.

He Yan ran to Li Kuang's yard in one breath. Today, Li Kuang's house was guarded by soldiers. She was stunned and was about to rush in, but was stopped by the soldiers at the door: "What are you doing? Enter!"

He Yan stared into his eyes: "What is he doing inside?"

Her eyes were as cold as ice knives, and the soldier was frightened by her. Before he could speak, he saw Zhao Shiming coming over, seeing such a scene, frowning and saying, "Why are you arguing again? This is Mr. Xiaohe, don't let me open."

The two soldiers seemed to come back to their senses, and then they looked at He Yan again, insisting in their tone: "Your Excellency has an order, no one else is allowed to enter, and Wu Anlang is the same."

He Yan: "Go away!"

She snatched the sword from one of them's waist, and the two reached out their hands to stop her, but where could they stop her? He Yan knocked the two to the ground, kicked the door, and walked in. stunned.

In addition to Li Kuang, there were many deputy soldiers and soldiers in the room, and a group of women were kneeling beside the chairs. These women were neatly dressed, some had tears on their faces, and some had calm expressions, but He Yan still remembered one or two faces. It was the Dawei prisoner that she rescued from the Utuo people when she attacked the enemy camp that night.

In the center of the ground, there was a woman lying. The woman's body was covered by a white cloth, and it was impossible to see who it was. However, she was holding a small wreath in her hand, which was small and delicate, and was dotted with scattered purple.

He Yan's eyes suddenly turned red.
