Rebirth of a Star General

In the city of Shuojing, an anecdote recently circulated. Someone set fire to the bookstore in the Xianchang Pavilion. The arsonist was found and buried in the fire. The bookstore was burned by a whole collection of books. The notes left by Feihong General He Rufei when he was studying in the academy.

For so many years, the Xianchang Pavilion has been most famous for its two famous generals. Among the two famous generals, if General Feng Yun is a genius admired by young people, then General Feihong He Rufei is a model often used by teachers to educate students.

"You must know that when General He was in the Xianchang Pavilion, he was not very good in his studies, and he was always at the bottom of the list. Even so, diligence can make up for his clumsiness. Now he is not a strong general of Wei. Therefore, not everyone in the world is a genius. achieve great things."

General He, as an example of "diligence can make up for one's clumsiness", it is not enough to just rely on the words of his classmates and his husband at that time, and the notes in the library are the evidence. Now this evidence was inexplicably burned by a fire. While many gentlemen in Shuojing secretly scolded the arsonist for being a wicked man, the students in the academy cheered in unison.

After all, being forced to "make up for one's clumsiness with diligence" is really not an easy task.

In He's house, He Rufei sat in the study and looked at the men who reported the news.

"You mean, the dead man sent out to set fire didn't even leave the body?" he asked.

"Exactly."

"If not," He Yuansheng narrowed his eyes, "do you think something is wrong?"

"But after burning a book, he died in the fire, and he couldn't even see the body. I always feel a little strange."

The subordinate replied respectfully: "The young man inquired about the library near the Xianchang Hall. The fire in the library is true. Now all the students in the academy have gone home. The curator is asking someone to repair the burned bookshelf... It is said that 'General He' ' and not a single one was left."

He Yuansheng pondered for a moment, "If not, if you're worried, would you like to take a trip in person?"

"No." He Rufei categorically refused, "Now is the time of trouble, I have to be more cautious in my words and deeds. The Xianchang Pavilion has just caught fire. If I go again, I will inevitably be caught. The last thing has not happened yet. , must not be taken lightly." Thinking of what happened last time, He Rufei became sullen. He had already made up his mind to take He Yan's life, at least with the intention of temptation. But I didn't expect that the woman was so skilled. Fortunately, all the dead men he was looking for were not able to reveal the secret. In the end, all the evidence was put on the Fan family, but the yamen refused to close the case. He Rufei sent someone to inquire, only to find out that Xiao Jue had intervened.

Xiao Huaijin values ​​his fiancée very much, and now it seems that he wants to stand out for his fiancée. He Rufei didn't pay attention to the daughter of a school captain alone, but he had already heard of Xiao Jue's methods, and even Xu Jingfu had not been able to get any benefits from this person, so it was certainly worth worrying about.

"Forget it, since the notes have been burned, let's not mention the rest." He Rufei turned his head, "In a short while, the Uto envoy will enter the capital. At this juncture, it is better not to cause trouble."

He Yuansheng paused and looked at He Rufei, "Once the Utuo people enter the capital, His Majesty will definitely discuss the main battle and peace, if not, our He family..."

"Father, our He family is naturally the master." He Rufei sneered: "Let's not talk about the Huayuan battle, we are already tied to each other, even now for the He family, we must only stand in harmony. Xiao Huaijin has already made a grudge against us, helping Xu Xiang is helping us."

"Of course I know, but," He Yuansheng's eyes flashed a gleam of light, "My son, in the current dynasty, the voice of the fourth prince is quite high, you see..."

"No matter how loud the fourth prince's voice is, it can't be higher than Xu Xiang." He Rufei frowned, "Besides, Da Wei pays the most attention to etiquette, the prince is orthodox, and the fourth prince has no support from his mother's family. Our He family can't take a neutral position, and must stand on the side of the prince without reservation."

He Yuansheng sighed, "I'm just worried about being my father."

He Rufei's eyes flashed a hint of ridicule, and he looked at He Yuansheng: "Father, if you want to get the wealth and honor of the sky, you can't not take risks. When my sister reached the step of being a general, there was no way out."

He Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, as if he was suddenly exposed to the secret in his heart, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and after a pause, he stood up and said, "Since you have made up your mind, just do as you say, there is still something to do for your father. I'm here, let's go first." He left as if fleeing.

He Rufei looked at He Yuansheng's hurrying back, smiled, leaned back, and his face gradually darkened.

I don't know since when, the whole He family has started to look at his face and act. Even He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang should be careful when talking to him. He Rufei had heard the servants of the mansion say more than once, how the young master's temperament has become more and more strange in recent years, which is very different from the past. After He Rufei heard it, the servants who spoke were executed directly. After a few times, no one dared to gossip behind his back.

Those who make big things don't stick to the small details. The two brothers of the He family, He Yuanliang, was cowardly, sly and cunning, and could not be used for anything, while He Yuansheng was ruthless. Now it's just that a woman with the same name and surname has appeared, and she has become an adversary with Xiao Huaijin.

How did they know that it was the most common thing to have blood on their hands when they wanted to do something big. Just like Huayuan's first battle, in order to avoid future troubles, he took the initiative to catch up with Xu Jingfu before that, and Xu Jingfu and Utuo also had secret contacts. It was just a casual remark. In the past, He Yan's confidants were all buried in that battle that didn't cost so much.

Since then, very few people know about General Feihong. As a general, he does things with peace of mind.

He Rufei didn't feel any guilt for what he had done, and he had no sympathy for his cousin who died early. Before He Yan became "General Feihong", she had lived under her own name for many years. If it weren't for her status as the "eldest young master", a woman who lived in the world should follow the rules and marry her husband. How could she have everything in the future. It can be said that the military merits He Yan earned were all based on his name. Now, everything is just returning to the original owner.

Not to mention that the Marquis of Wu'an was obviously a substitute for pretending to be a ghost, even if He Yan really came to ask for his life, he was not afraid at all.

Because...it was supposed to be his.

...

On this day, He Yan went out early in the morning and came home only near evening.

Mrs. Fan in the prison was still crazy, and she couldn't get any useful information out of her mouth. Mother Qin was hidden in Xiao's house, but what she knew was very limited. Xu Zhiheng wouldn't really trust He Wanru, and Qin mama deliberately avoided the murder at that time. Therefore, apart from witnesses, there is not much evidence for the time being. He Yan had to make a trip by herself. Although she is the Marquis of Wu'an now, she has not yet established her own network in the DPRK. Her colleagues see her as a woman. Although she is flattering on the surface, she is actually contemptuous. There are very few classmates like Yan He and Lin Shuanghe.

Fortunately, although the title of Marquis of Wu'an is not easy to use, the name "Xiao Jue's fiancee" is more convenient than He Yan imagined. As long as she moves out of Xiao Juelai, most of her colleagues are still willing to sell her face. He Yan used Xiao Jue's name to inquire about things in the Fuyue Army.

Probing like this, she really found some clues.

He Rufei has been staying in Shuojing since he was awarded the title of Feihong, the Great Wei Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous, and there were few wars, so he stayed in Shuojing and never left the city. The first battle in Huayuan was He Rufei's first battle in a few years. In this battle, the Fuyue Army led by He Rufei only won a terrible victory, and all his confidants died in the battle. None of the lieutenants who were a little closer to He Rufei survived.

And most of the soldiers who survived in that battle were ordinary soldiers who could not access the secrets of the war.

However, even so, there are still some hidden rumors circulating.

"The generals on that day were very different from before. It seems that there was a dispute with the strategist, but the strategist had already died in the battle of Huayuan, but... When those Utto people came that day, we were all in the first place. Opportunity. But the general kept his troops on hold, and finally gave the Uto people a chance to take advantage."

"However, maybe we are overthinking it. The general has experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally, it is not for me to wait for the soldier to figure out what he wants." The soldier added.

Because General Feihong's name is too loud, no one will doubt his tactics, let alone his loyalty. It's just that He Yan knew that, He Rufei clearly wanted those people to die on purpose. He Rufei had never brought troops before, but in the first battle of Huayuan, he was able to wipe out the entire army of his most important subordinates and retreated himself. There is no such reason in the world, unless... The trustee secretly colluded.

Thinking about it this way, He Yan realized that when she pretended to be He Rufei and attacked the Utuo people's barracks to burn food and grass at night in Rundu, the reaction of General Utuo Hu Yat was also very intriguing.

If He Rufei really wanted to protect his identity from being exposed, he would not hesitate to seek skin from a tiger and betray the monarch, this crime would never be forgiven.

She thought about this in her heart, and unknowingly, she had reached the door of the house. As soon as she entered the door, Qingmei saw her and hurried over, saying, "Girl, you are back."

"What's wrong?" He Yan asked curiously. Since her identity was revealed, He Yan asked Xiao Jue to withdraw Chiwu during the day and come back at night. A good bodyguard can't always guard her without doing anything serious, so after Chiwu left, Qingmei went back to the old days. It was rare to see her so flustered.

"There's someone from the family," Qingmei whispered, "I'm looking for a girl..."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yan heard a familiar voice: "Big brother!"

When she looked back, she saw a young man in yellow with red lips and white teeth running from the hall, walking around her twice with a look of surprise, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be a woman!"

Qingmei kindly reminded: "Little son, our girl is a woman."

He Yan didn't expect Cheng Lisu to come to his house. It seemed that it had been a long time since the last time he saw him. This young man has grown a little taller, but the flying between his eyebrows is still the same as before.

"Why are you here?" He Yan asked.

"I sneaked out today when my family was not paying attention." Cheng Lisu said with a bitter face: "After I returned to Beijing from Liangzhou Wei, I was arrested and went to school, and I had no freedom at all. When you came back to Beijing, I wanted to come and have a look, but the discipline in the school was so strict that I couldn’t get out. When I went back, I heard that you are a woman and you have become my uncle’s fiancée, eldest brother! What happened? What? How did you become a woman?"

It's been so long, and I didn't expect that there were still people struggling with this matter. He Yan was helpless and said, "I was originally a woman. At that time, it was just because of circumstances that forced me to disguise myself as a man and enter the military camp. When I returned to the capital, my identity was natural. Uncover, I misunderstood you before, sorry."

As soon as the voice fell, another voice said: "So, you admitted that you lied?"

He Yan was startled and saw Song Taotao walking out from behind. The little girl is now more beautiful than when she was in Liangzhouwei. The Song family probably loves this daughter very much. The material of the clothes is very precious, making her look like a little fairy who doesn't eat fireworks. The face carved in pink and jade is different, and the expression looks like an infatuated woman abandoned by a heartless man.

"Tao Tao?" He Yan looked at Cheng Lisu, "You came together?"

Cheng Lisu rolled his eyes, "Who wants to come with her? When I came to look for my eldest brother, I happened to meet this shrew at the door."

Song Taotao walked in front of He Yan with a complicated expression. He looked at He Yan up and down, and then said resentfully, "You really are a woman."

He Yan: "..."

To talk about the little girl's thoughts, He Yan didn't find out from the beginning to the end, that's impossible. After all, this child is pure and sincere, and all his thoughts are written on his face. Even a fool can see his undisguised admiration and affection. It's just that when he was in Liangzhou Wei, He Yan's identity could not be explained, and there was no way to remind the child that she was a woman and could not marry Song Taotao as his wife.

Now that he was approached, He Yan felt a little guilty inexplicably, feeling like a stinky man who deceived the pure feelings of a young girl.

"I..." She carefully considered her words, and she hadn't figured out how to say it so as not to hurt Song Taotao's fragile heart.

Song Taotao was also aggrieved in his heart, and it had been a long time since he learned that He Yan was a woman. But Song Taotao couldn't convince himself, he had to see He Yan in person to believe it. Today, I managed to persuade my parents to go out with my family. Unexpectedly, I met Cheng Lisu, an unlucky person. Forget it, at this moment, seeing the slim and graceful appearance of the woman in front of him, Song Taotao finally had to accept a heavy reality.

He Yan was indeed a woman, even a good-looking woman.

How could such a woman feel like a man at that time! He was still thinking of breaking the engagement with Cheng Lisu and marrying each other!

"It's all your fault," Song Taotao was pampered and panicked in his heart, so he vented all his anger on He Yan, "You are so good, what are you doing in Liangzhou Wei to deceive people!"

"Sorry, sorry," He Yan carefully compensated the child, "I didn't mean it either."

"Why didn't you do it on purpose?" Song Taotao became angrier and aggrieved the more he thought about it, staring at He Yan aggressively, "You just want to show your own heroism so that you can compare everyone else, and everyone else will watch. You, you own the light!"

He Yan was speechless: "I..."

"it was all your fault!"

"Enough." Another voice interjected, He Yan looked back, He Yunsheng came in with a cloth bag on his back, stood in front of He Yan, and faced Song Taotao with a cold face: "Who are you? Who allowed you to be presumptuous to my sister in my house?"

He Yan is one big and two big, come on. Now, besides her, Qingmei, and three bear children in this room, the scene is really embarrassing.

"Yunsheng, this is Miss Song Er. This is Young Master Cheng. They are all friends I met in Liangzhou Wei." She said to Song Taotao and the others, "This is my brother, He Yunsheng."

"Friend?" He Yunsheng glanced at Song Taotao, and said displeasedly, "How can a friend be so aggressive, He Yan, I told you already, don't treat everyone as a friend."

Song Taotao was stunned for a moment, He Yunsheng's appearance was too sudden, and she didn't react for a while. Hearing what He Yan said at this moment, he focused his attention on He Yunsheng again. In fact, He Yunsheng was somewhat similar to He Yan, but not as warm as He Yan, and always had a smile on his face. , he was a head taller than He Yan, and the handsome and indifferent young man stood here, quite eye-catching.

A man whose eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to He Yan's, but a completely different temperament... a man?

This felt very strange, Song Taotao stared at him blankly, forgot to reply.

He Yan grabbed He Yunsheng's arm fiercely and whispered in his ear, "This is a girl, can you not be so fierce?"

"I don't care if he's a girl or a man," He Yunsheng frowned, "Do you think I'm dead when you talk like that?"

The dead child is really becoming more and more rebellious, He Yan said to herself, she guessed that Song Taotao was about to cry after being yelled at like this. She had not yet figured out how to comfort the crying little girl, but Cheng Lisu was already surrounded by surprise again. Grabbing He Yunsheng's hand: "You are my eldest brother's younger brother, so that's my brother! My name is Cheng Lisu, Brother He, are you just out of school?"

When did He Yunsheng see such a familiar person, he immediately took a step back, pulled away Cheng Lisu's hand, and frowned, "Who is your eldest brother?"

"It's your elder sister!" Cheng Lisu answered as a matter of course, but as soon as he said it, he didn't feel right, so he quickly changed his words and said, "It seems that I shouldn't be called eldest brother now, so it is also called elder sister? No, no, my eldest brother is my uncle. My fiancée, so I should be called Auntie!"

He raised his head to face He Yan, and called out in a sincere tone, "Auntie!"

He Yan: "..."

It is inexplicable that she has such a first-year nephew.

That's not all, Cheng Lisu looked at He Yunsheng again, "You are my aunt's brother, so I should be called... Uncle? Uncle He!"

The He family sister and brother were both shocked by Cheng Lisu's natural climb to relatives. Even Song Taotao couldn't see it, and scolded: "What are you screaming? Be careful, Governor Xiao hears it and will settle the account with you."

"I didn't scream. Anyway, sooner or later, it's my aunt." Cheng Lisu didn't think there was anything wrong with being short, and said happily, "I will have two more relatives in the future, aunt, uncle, I haven't eaten yet. , do you want to have dinner together?"

He Yunsheng couldn't bear it any longer, and said to He Yan, "Who are you all friends with?" He turned around and walked away.

He Yan: "..."

I can't blame her, it's really a kid like Cheng Lisu who never plays cards according to common sense. She smiled and looked at Song Taotao: "Have Taotao eaten? Would you like to have dinner together?"

I thought that Xiao Nizi was here today to ask the teacher for her guilt, but this meeting was not too pleasant. The spoiled second Miss Song might not be used to eating in this rough house, but Song Taotao paused. He nodded casually, "Okay."

He Yan was really frightened.

What's going on today, one or two are not playing cards according to common sense?

But since everyone has stayed, a meal still has to be served. It's just that the He's family's meals are simple and simple, afraid that it will not suit the tastes of the young masters and young ladies.

When He Sui came back, he was also shocked by the people in the room. When he heard that he was a friend of He Yan in Liangzhou Wei, he immediately greeted him with a smile, treating him as a familiar junior. Everyone was eating at the same table. Apart from Song Taotao being silent and He Yunsheng always putting on a bad face, they got along fairly well. He Sui always wanted to know how He Yan was in Liangzhou Wei, but it was not easy to keep asking Xiao Jue on weekdays. Now that there are ready candidates, of course, he will not miss a good opportunity.

Cheng Lisu is also a talker. As long as He Sui asks, he knows everything and says everything. He Yan suspects that he can even remember how many dry biscuits he ate in Liangzhouwei.

However, thanks to these children, the dull feeling of going to inquire about the affairs of the Fuyue military during the day has also relieved a lot.

After eating, He Yan sent them out. Song Taotao and Cheng Lisu both brought their own carriages and servants. Cheng Lisu only had a short meal time, and it seemed that He Sui and He Sui had already become friends, and they had already made an appointment for the next meal. He Yan finally sent them away, and then went out.

Outside the door, Song Taotao got into his own carriage, and the maid next to him asked cautiously, "Miss, you also met Miss He today. In the future, you won't be arguing to break off the engagement with Young Master Cheng, right?"

The sweetheart is a woman, which is naturally impossible. After this, what reason does Song Taotao have to regret the marriage?

Song Taotao said indifferently: "I admire Governor Xiao very much, and it is my blessing to be able to be with him. However, I never thought of being his nephew and daughter-in-law."

The maid was stunned for a while, not quite understanding what Song Taotao meant by this.

Song Taotao lowered his head, remembering the face of the youth in green he had just seen, and pursed his lips quietly.

She originally thought to be Xiao Jue's sister-in-law, but unfortunately Xiao Jing is already married, but now that she thinks about it, it seems that it is not bad to be Xiao Jue's younger brother and sister.

One question: Yun Tao or Li Tao or ALL Tao, which one do you stand on?
