Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 225

Chapter 225

The book of war is still the same as it was from the past, and he is in a daze to return to the days when he first married into the He family.

But after she became blind, she never took out this military book again. She originally thought that the book had either never been discovered, or had been burned by Xu Zhiheng, but she didn’t expect it to be back in her hands now. However, how did this book get into the hands of Madam He?

“You said, my mother gave me this book, what do you mean?” He Yan looked at Xiao Jue, “Will she recognize me?”

Without waiting for Xiao Jue to speak, He Yan immediately shook his head and denied, “Impossible, even in my previous life, I met with only a handful of her. My mother may not remember what I was like, let alone the present. She laughed self-deprecatingly, “Why now I am also starting to think and be whimsical.”

However, when she recalled the moment when Madam He squeezed the book of war into her hands, she vaguely caught the nostalgia and dissatisfaction in the opponent’s eyes.

How can this be?

Madam He also has another daughter. Compared to herself, He Xinying has followed Madam He since she was a child, and she is a true jewel in the palm of her hand. Unlike her, she didn’t even call a “mother”. He Yan always thought that when facing the He family, she could be as hard as iron, but when she rushed into the second wife’s house, she saw He Xinying and her mother sleeping on the same bed, even after getting married, she returned The government can also have such intimate night talks with his mother, and it turns out he would be jealous.

Thinking about it carefully, her kinship in the last life has been very weak. My parents are like this, my husband is like this. Although it has been a matter of the previous life, although there are people to accompany me now, I have some regrets. After blowing, it was still empty, shocking.

He Yan didn’t want Xiao Jue to see his loss, and turned his head, “However, this book of war has just solved my urgent need. The notes I found in the Xianchang Hall are so far apart in the end, He Rufei is also It can be used as an excuse to say that the handwriting changed later. This book of war is not far away, as long as you carefully compare He Rufei’s current handwriting, you will always find clues, and…it happens to be the book of war, and God helps me.”

Xiao Jue nodded, “The letter exchanges with the Utuo people will come in handy when the time comes.”

“He Rufei kept these letters because he was afraid that the Utuo and Xu Xiang would cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he kept one hand, and hid it in the exquisite box in order to prevent it from failing.” He Yan thought, “I really don’t know how to call him cunning. Still stupid.”

It was his suspicion that happened to fall into the hands of others.

“It’s not safe for me to take this thing,” He Yan thought for a while, and said to Xiao Jue: “You should take it. No matter how bold He Rufei is, he shouldn’t dare to go to Xiao’s house.”

She raised her head to look at the sky. After a short while, the sky was about to dawn. Today was delayed for a whole night, “I’m going back, and when it’s dawn, He Rufei should send someone to search the entire Shuojing. I’m afraid that something will happen.”

“I will send you back.”

He Yan nodded. Although he tried to pretend to be as usual, the matter of Mrs. He still weighed heavily on her heart. Although no one knew for the time that she threatened Madam He to open the door for herself, who knew whether He Rufei would doubt Madam Shanghe. Even if she is from the He family…He is not so cruel and cruel, what about Madam He’s second wife when she can do it? He Yuanliang doesn’t care about father-daughter friendship at all, so how much is left of husband and wife friendship?

“Don’t worry, I will send someone to sneak into the He family and look at Mrs. He Er.” It seemed that she could see the worry in her heart, “I won’t let her have anything.”

He Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and breathed a sigh of relief, “So, thank you very much.”

Even so, she still looked a little unhappy, Xiao Jue glanced over her lightly and said: “He Yan.”

“what?”

“In two days, it will be my birthday.”

He Yan said “Oh”, suddenly reacted and raised his head, “…then what do you want, I can buy it for you.”

“Are you rich?” he asked.

“Did you not give me a bank note last time?” He Yan replied smoothly. When he saw his expression, he sneered again, as if it was a bit wrong to buy someone else’s money as a gift, “but… I only have the money you gave me.”

“My female embroidery worker is not good either. It is impossible to let me embroider some veil in a day or two. Why didn’t you say it earlier, it is too late for me to do it now. Or… I’ll pick you up a stone, Use an axe to cut into the shape you like?”

When he was in Liangzhouwei, Chu Zhao stayed up in the middle of the night to pick up rocks. Perhaps their rich young masters all had such weird hobbies.

Xiao Jue’s face sank, as if thinking of bad memories, “No need.”

“Then what do you need?” He Yan asked, approaching him. Having been interrupted by Xiao Jue in this way, her depressed mood was relieved a lot, at least for the moment, she was sincerely worried about Master Xiao’s birthday gift.

“I’m going to visit the night market,” Xiao Jue glanced at her, “You bring the cash ticket, and you can buy it for me.”

Now He Yan understands that Young Master Xiao Er wants to enjoy the feeling of being pampered, but this kind of thing is used to be when men accompany women out to the night market and buy flowers, jade, and pearl hairpins for women. Why did you get to her? This end, the other way around?

“I didn’t expect you to have such an incredible hobby.” He Yan whispered behind his back.

“What are you talking about?” Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows.

He Yan turned around and replied with a smile: “I mean, since it is our young master’s birthday wish, we must reach it for you. It’s not just to go to the night market. I will bring all the cash tickets with me, you How about buying everything you want?”

The girl’s face was close at hand, and she didn’t notice that she was too close to the other party. Xiao Jue tilted her head slightly, the corner of her mouth curled slightly, and said, “Yeah.”

…

After Xiao Jue sent He Yan back to the house at night, it was already very late. He Yan simply collapsed and took a good night’s sleep. When he woke up, it was already noon. Qingmei finished lunch, He Yan rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and asked, “Qingmei, what’s new outside today?”

Qingmei was helping He Yan Shengtang, and she was surprised when she heard that, “Girl, how do you know something happened outside? Early in the morning, the maidservant saw you sleep soundly and didn’t dare to wake you up. When I went shopping for vegetables on the street, I heard that, General Feihong’s mansion was stolen last night. There are valuable artifacts in General Feihong’s house. Now the gate has been sealed, and the government is searching for suspicious persons.” After that, she said to herself, “But what is the world? There will be such a bold thief who will steal from General Feihong’s mansion. Isn’t this seeking his own death?”

She didn’t know that the bold thief was sitting at the table, sipping the hot soup in the bowl without rush.

As long as He Yan thinks of He Rufei’s appearance like a headless fly, he can’t feel refreshed, even drinking a few more bowls of soup. I want to come to the suspicious nature of He Rufei, and for a long time to come, no, it should be said that as long as the letters are not found, He Rufei will always be on pins and needles and sleepless at night.

It is really happy.

He Yan’s guess was correct. At this moment, He Mansion was in a mess.

From last night to now, all the suspicious people in Shuojing City have been checked, and they haven’t been there yet. He Rufei’s face was so ugly that people didn’t dare to touch his mold on this knot.

“If not, what should I do now?” He Yuansheng was extremely nervous, he had already vaguely guessed the lost property that He Rufei had to spend so much time trying to find at all costs. This thing falls into the hands of others, it is the handle that can kill, let alone the current situation.

“Doesn’t my father find it strange?” He Rufei said coldly, “People who come and go in and out of the mansion are like no one, and they know everything about the mansion. Even the secret compartment in my study is known and I can open Linglong. box……”

“You mean, there are spies in the mansion?” He Yuansheng asked.

“It may not be there.” He Rufei said.

“But now the servants in the mansion are all children born to the family, and besides, you can’t get in your study room except yourself, let alone the secret compartment on the bookshelf. If there is an insider…who would it be? Could it be… He Yuansheng narrowed his eyes, “Do you suspect it is your second uncle?”

“He doesn’t have the guts, nor the brain.” He Rufei’s eyes flashed with contempt. He Yuanliang is even more useless now, so when there is something to discuss in the mansion right now, He Rufei is too lazy to call him. He Yuanliang was also happy and relaxed. He was not a person who could afford to live. The only useful thing in his life that he had done was raising the daughter of He Yan. Other than that, he was a waste.

“Then you suspect…”

“Second uncle doesn’t have the courage, second aunt may not be. Because of He Yan’s affairs, I am afraid that we have long been grudges against us. Women are always emotional. I don’t know if she will hold her hate in her heart and do anything unexpected. thing.”

He Yuansheng frowned, “So, this woman can’t stay.”

He Rufei shook his head: “You can’t act rashly now. If she is really easy to handle, at least you can follow the vine to find out who is behind the scenes, and with multiple hostages in our hands, it will be convenient for you to do things in the future.”

“Will there be any trouble keeping her?”

“As long as you don’t let her go out of the house and keep people around to watch, it doesn’t hurt to live.” He Rufei said coldly: “It’s just that He Xinying also returned to the house last night. The day he returned to the house, the thief entered the house. I don’t know if it is a coincidence. .”

“He Xinying?” He Yuansheng lowered his face, “She is from the He family, so she dare…”

“It’s just suspicion,” He Rufei interrupted her: “Find someone to approach her and see if she really doesn’t know anything. If the second aunt wants to keep He Xinying, she shouldn’t tell her the truth. It’s just that Xu Zhiheng has been a little weird lately.”

Thinking of Xu Zhiheng, He Rufei felt unhappy again. Cooperating with such a fool is probably the most disturbing thing.

“Leave this to me,” He Yuansheng pondered for a moment, “You stay in the house and wait for the news.” He got up and went out.

He Yuansheng left, and He Rufei sat on the chair alone, his thoughts hard to calm. As He Yuansheng said, the first thought was that there was a spy in the mansion, so he knew the path of the mansion well, but he knew clearly in his heart that the secret grid on the bookshelf in the study could not be found by the spy, but Linglong. box.

When He Yan handed the Linglong box to him, he once said that in the world, no one except their brother and sister can open this box. After He Yan died, he was the only one who could open the world, so He Rufei would put a few secret letters in the box. Just to make himself more at ease, he made another layer of organs in the box.

The reason is that I will never encounter this mechanism in my life, and I didn’t expect to hear the whistle last night. Linglong box was opened.

Or, He Yan was lying at the beginning, besides the two of them, there is a third person in the world who knows how to open this box.

Either…

Xu Zhiheng’s fearful expression floated in front of his eyes, and his voice was filled with unspeakable panic.

“Yes… it’s He Yan, she’s back… she’s back!”

With a “pop”, the teacup on the table was slammed to the ground by He Rufei. He stood up and looked at the long sword on the wall. Qing Lang was green and quiet, emitting a light luster, and he twitched the corner of his mouth severely.

He’s back… he’s not afraid.

…

The following day, there was a lot of rumors about the thieves in General Feihong’s mansion, but they had not been able to find where the thieves were. The whole Shuo Jingcheng was very lively, and it was rare for He Yan to spend a relaxing day, only drinking tea and sleeping at home, and the green plums he watched were a little surprised.

Two days later, it was dark early this night, and there was no snow outside. It was a rare sunny night. After He Yan freshened up, he planned to go out with Xiao Jue.

After visiting He Mansion at night before, Xiao Jue once told her that today is his birthday and he wants He Yan to accompany him to the night market. An appointment was made to meet at the door of the house. It is estimated that it is not early, and He Yan should also go out.

Qingmei chose a silver-red colored embroidered rattan shirt for her, and a soft smoky brocade dress of the same color underneath. She also carefully combed a hundred-flowered bun with the tail hanging over her shoulders, which looked a bit cute. . He Yan looked left and right in front of the mirror, rather uncomfortable, “These clothes are too fancy, today is Xiao Jue’s birthday, not my birthday, why is it so grand?”

Qingmei put on a pair of coral earrings on her ears, and said with a smile: “But girl, you are going to the night market with Governor Xiao. There are so many people in the night market, you will definitely recognize you two. Of course it is grand. Some, after all, we have to go out to show people.”

He Yan stopped her from trying to return the hairpin to her head, “Okay, that’s it. I think the time is almost the same, I’m leaving now.” After that, he went to pick up the one on the box. Here comes the rabbit fur cloak.

This cloak was in the original Miss Heda box. Among the clothes of Miss Heda, only this one looked a little purer. Miss Heda probably didn’t like this cloak, so she was pressed under the box. But this is the warmest piece He Yan can find. Speaking of which, when he first woke up, He Yan looked at the lady’s body that was soft and weak, which could be blown down by a gust of wind, but in her suitcase, they were all thin as cicada-winged dresses, as if they never felt like winter. of.

He Yan picked up the cloak and was about to put it on, when Qingmei snatched it over.

“What are you doing?” She was inexplicable.

“Girls can wear this one. Don’t take this cloak.” Qingmei looked at the rabbit fur cloak in her hand. “This one is very old and looks bloated. It doesn’t line up under the lights at night. people.”

He Yan was speechless for a moment, “If you don’t wear it, it will be cold! I will wear this skirt and go out, and I will be frozen to death. I can’t even ignore my body just to look good.”

But Qingmei, who has always been talkative, is very persistent today, “No, girl, between good-looking and cold, of course good-looking is more important. Besides, if you dress yourself warmly, what should Governor Xiao do?”

“What do you mean?”

“You think,” Qingmei tempted, “Didn’t you two go to the night market? Doctrine Xiao will definitely wear outer clothes. The colder girl you are, it just seems that you are weak and need someone to take care of you. Taking off your own outer garments and putting them on for you will definitely benefit the relationship between you.”

When He Yan heard this, he said unbelievably, “What’s this wrong? If he gave me the clothes, wouldn’t he also be cold? We must be frozen together. What kind of hatred or resentment?”

“How can this be regarded as perverted reasoning?” Qingmei said plausibly, “Man in the world will usually pity weak and weak women. Girl, if you do everything by yourself, will Governor Xiao realize that you need to take care of you. Don’t believe it, this is. The Chiwu guard personally told me that he is both a man and a close attendant to Governor Xiao. He must know Governor Xiao well, so just do what he says, it’s not wrong.”

He Yan: “…”

Is Chiwu sick? Seongil is thinking about this if he doesn’t do anything else? A good girl in Ome was taken astray. Is Xiao Jue the kind of person who loves and cherishes jade? Don’t you see how many girls came to watch the hunting in the mountains in those days. There were not ten or eight of Xiao Jue’s body, nor did Xiao Jue give him his Diaoqiu to wear.

“You are all nonsense, nonsense!”

Qingmei pushed He Yan out of the door, “Anyway, girl, you can’t go out in this rabbit fur cloak today, just listen to the maidservant.”

With a “pop”, the door was closed, almost hitting He Yan’s nose. He Yan couldn’t laugh or cry at this door, but it was not too early right now. If he waited for He Yun to give birth to school, if he knew that He Yan went out with Xiao Jue at night, it would be noisy. He Yan thought for a while, no matter what, her body bones have withstood the wind and rain in Liangzhou Wei, and they are also very strong, so that they won’t fall when the wind blows, so it should be fine overnight.

Thinking of this, he raised his foot and went out.

By coincidence, as soon as he left the house, a carriage stopped in front of the door. Feinu had done a good job as a coachman, and Xiao Jue got off the carriage.

Today he wore a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with pythons, covered in a black fox fur cloak, sandalwood hairpin, and long dark black hair hanging over his shoulders. He was particularly romantic and beautiful. When he looked over, the bridge of the nose lined by the lights was sharp and the thin lips were clear. , A pair of eyes are as moving as autumn water.

He Yan swallowed the saliva. In fact, standing here with Xiao Jue at the same time with his own appearance, I am afraid that it is not him who is pitying and cherishing jade.

Ome is really worried.
