Rebirth of a Star General - Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Three days later, Emperor Wenxuan hosted a banquet at Tianxingtai.

The Tianxing Terrace is located on the high platform in front of the palace, and further ahead is the ceremonial platform. When Utuo envoy Maningbu came to Beijing, His Majesty agreed to the Utuo’s compensation. On the surface, it showed the greatness of the Wei monarch, but in fact it was also to promote his country’s prestige.

He Yan participated in such an occasion for the first time in his past and present life. Early in the morning, she changed into the official uniform. The official uniform was red with flowers and a black belt in the middle. She was not as tall as a man. There was some surplus in the official uniform, but because she was tall and straight, she was really It’s also a little elegant.

Now the court knew that she was a woman, and her makeup did not have to be transformed into a man. Qingmei stroked her eyebrows lightly and applied a thin layer of powder. Her lip color was pink and tender, and she didn’t use mouth fat. The long hair is tied into a bunch of ponytails in the back of the head, very neat.

He Yan looked at the woman in the mirror. She was heroic and beautiful. She was neither dressed up as a man nor overly feminine. This dress seemed to be the most pleasing to the eye she had ever seen since she was reborn.

He Yan grabbed the tea on the table and took a sip, and said, “It’s almost time, I’ll go out first.”

Qingmei asked, “Does the girl really want to be accompanied by slaves?”

“I’m not going to a banquet to do anything with you.” He Yan laughed, “You will wait for me to come back in the house.”

She went out and got into the carriage by herself.

Xiao Jue didn’t come to pick him up today. Although the two of them will get married soon, before they got married, He Yan was still Wu Anhou before Xiao Jue’s fiancée. It is important to distinguish between official and private matters, and don’t be overly casual on such occasions today.

She doesn’t have a companion by her side, and it is very rare that she goes to the Tianxing Station alone like her. The carriage was agreed yesterday, and when he reached the vicinity of the Tianxing Terrace, He Yan got out of the carriage and walked in the direction of the Tianxing Terrace alone.

Some officials have already arrived first. Those who know each other exchanged greetings with each other. He Yan knows not many people. He is standing, and suddenly an excited voice comes from someone: “Sister He!”

He Yan was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Lin Shuanghe running over.

He is also dressed up as Zhou Zheng today. If he doesn’t speak, he looks like a young man in the middle of the country. He Yan said, “Why is Brother Lin here? It’s not that only officials can be here…”

“My grandfather and my father are here,” Lin Shuanghe said disapprovingly: “The empress dowager likes me, let me join in the fun too.”

Understood, Young Master Lin came in through the back door again.

Lin Shuanghe looked He Yan up and down, with bright eyes: “Sister He, this is the first time I saw you wearing an official uniform. It looks good! We are so lucky to have Huai Jin. We have found such a beautiful country. lady.”

Every time the compliment was praised, He Yan interrupted his flattering, regardless of whether he could accept it.

“Stop talking,” Lin Shuanghe said with a bitter expression: “I have only left Shuojing for a year or a half, and Shuojingcheng came to see me and saved a lot of women. Since I came back, I have been consulting every day. , Didn’t Sister He find that I was tired and thin?”

He Yan saw his vigorous look and said, “That’s not true. If you don’t want to see a doctor, just stay behind closed doors. Why do you persecute yourself like this?”

“They are all women,” Lin Shuanghe said solemnly, “A gentleman should be pity for Xiangyu.”

He Yan was speechless for a while before he said: “So, Brother Lin is so busy that he will forget about helping me find a house.”

Lin Shuanghe was taken aback for a moment, and finally remembered what he had left behind, and looked at He Yan strangely, “But aren’t you and Huai Jin getting married on the tenth day of the year? What are you going to do to buy a house?”

“It’s not that I live.” He Yan helplessly, “I want Dad and Yunsheng to switch to another house.” In the past, she was poor, but now she also has a serious official position. The money Xiao Jue gave her last time is enough to rebuild a new house in the capital. Although it is not as luxurious as the rich and famous, it is much better than the current one. He Yan thought it over and assumed it was borrowed from Xiao Jue. After a year’s later, the salary photos were issued, and then he would return it to him.

“It turned out to be for uncle and younger brother,” Lin Shuanghe breathed a sigh of relief and patted He Yan on the shoulder. “Relax, leave this to my brother, and promise to do it properly for you!”

He Yan: “Aren’t you worrying about this if you don’t say that you are busy now?”

“Ah, are you free? There is still a squeeze.”

“Sure enough, you didn’t find it for me on purpose.”

“Sister He, how can you miss me that way?”

While talking and laughing, Lin Shuanghe suddenly waved behind He Yan, “Huaijin!”

He Yan looked back, Xiao Jue and Xiao Jing walked over from the other end.

The two brothers have outstanding looks and walk among the young officials, standing out from the crowd. When he got closer, He Yan saluted Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing smiled and said, “This is the first time I have come to Tianxing Terrace with a female official. Girl He is brave and brave.”

He Yan was polite, Lin Shuanghe touched his chin, looked at He Yan and Xiao Jue for a while, and said, “I have to say, you two seem to really match each other.”

He Yan looked at Xiao Jue. He was also wearing an official uniform today. By coincidence, the flower embroidered on the dark blue official uniform happened to match the one on her official uniform. The waist is also a girdle, and this person is extraordinarily heroic, pure and noble, and handsome and handsome.

“Sister He,” Lin Shuanghe said: “You said, you can get a few more ranks as an official, and you can go up and down with Huai Jin in the future. It’s really convenient. Looking at the entire Wei, you and your husband and wife This is the first time.”

“Ms. He has not yet passed the door,” Xiao Jing said softly: “Young Master Lin said carefully, being heard by others, it is detrimental to Ms. He’s reputation.”

He Yan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jing in front of him. Everyone said that Young Master Xiao was a gentleman who was gentle and respectful. However, it doesn’t make people feel pedantic when he said it. On the contrary, he felt that he was thoughtful. No wonder Song Taotao wanted to be Xiao Jue’s sister-in-law before that. After all, Xiao Jing was like Xiao Jing. It’s hard to find.

Just as she was thinking about it, a person appeared in front of her unconsciously, and silently blocked her from looking at Xiao Jing. He Yan raised his head and met the look in Xiao Jue’s eyes, which seemed a little unpleasant.

He still protects his elder brother, He Yan is thinking, afraid that he will also play Xiao Jing’s idea?

At this time, someone in front of him called Lin Shuanghe’s name, probably Lin Shuanghe’s friend, Lin Shuanghe followed the sound. Xiao Jing also took a few steps forward and talked with his colleagues.

He Yan finally had time to stay with Xiao Jue. She moved to Xiao Jue’s side and unfolded her sleeves and asked, “How about it? This is the new official uniform. This is the first time I wore it today. Is it very romantic? Murderous again?”

The sun shines on the girl’s face, it seems to be able to distinguish the roots of her fine eyelashes, her eyes are bright and energetic, she smiles, and she has a pure youthful spirit, but the red official clothes The heroic spirit that made her sink a little bit more in the end is a sassyness that is completely different from all women.

There are tens of millions of women in the world, but she is the only one who is different.

Xiao Jue turned sideways and looked away.

Seeing him like this, He Yan retracted his sleeves and moved closer: “Isn’t it?”

“No murderousness,” Xiao Jue couldn’t stand her entanglement, looked down at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he deliberately angered her, “It’s stupid to go outside.”

He Yan gritted her teeth: “You guy, you can’t even say a good thing.” She turned around and pretended to leave, unexpectedly turning her head, bumped into someone, and almost ran into the other’s arms.

After standing still, Chu Zhao stood in front of her and looked at her: “Miss He.”

“… Fourth Young Master Chu.”

Xiao Jue pulled He Yan back to his side. Chu Zhao first glanced at Xiao Jue, and then his eyes fell on He Yan, still with the familiar gentle smile, “I already know the happy event of He Yan, congratulations in advance. The joy of a newlywed.”

“Each each other.” He Yan smiled: “I also wish the Fourth Young Master and Miss Xu get married.”

When Chu Zhao heard the words, his eyes trembled slightly, as if a little sad, but he still arched his hands towards He Yan before walking forward.

He Yan looked at his back, only feeling particularly bleak, and couldn’t help but said to Xiao Jue beside him: “Xiao Jue, do you think the fourth son of Chu is actually quite pitiful.”

Xiao Jue said coldly: “I don’t think so.”

“How come? I think he…” He Yan whispered: “Maybe I don’t like that Miss Xu very much. People’s eyes can’t deceive people. His eyes are very wrong. When it comes to marriage, there is not the slightest joy. It seems that it is still very good. sad.”

“You look very carefully.”

“After all, I was blinded once before. Now, of course, I have to look carefully at people… It’s a pity that the imperial decree has been laid down, and he can only do this. Do you think he…hey?” He Yan looked back and Xiao Jue had already gone. After walking for a while, she quickly caught up: “Xiao Jue, wait for me!”

After a while.

“Xiao Jue, are you angry?”

“No.”

…

Baiguan stood on the square on the Tianxing Platform.

He Yan’s official position can’t stand with Xiao Jue yet, but most of the people she is in think that she is Xiao Jue’s fiancée, and they dare not do anything to her. Also because she was small and afraid that she would not be able to see the picture on the high platform, she deliberately left the first row to He Yan.

He Yan stood in the front, looking at the emperor on the stage.

On the high seat, Emperor Wen Xuan looked at the hundred officials in the audience with a smile.

The hundreds of officials were dressed in official uniforms and stood neatly. From the outside, they were quite face. I heard that the Utuo country has four peaks and mountains, and there are few plains. The palace is less than half of the Dawei palace. Whenever I want to come to hold a sacrificial ceremony, the scene is also very shabby.

He is old, and although he has not done much in political affairs, he also hopes to leave one or two things worthy of praise. Unfortunately, for so many years, no. In ancient times, emperors were either named in history or stinking for thousands of years. He didn’t want to think about their stinks in history. Emperor Wenxuan didn’t have the courage to face the saliva of future generations. So since he was enthroned, he has never done anything such as large-scale construction and building of Buddhist temples. Only like a banquet on the star stage today, let him regain some of the pride of being an emperor.

Several princes sit on one side. The fifth prince Guangji was still young and wanted to catch when he saw beautiful cakes. He was stopped by Guang Shuo and Guang Shuo said softly: “Fifth brother, sit down, you represent the face of Wei.”

Guangji flattened his mouth, but he was also behaving and didn’t dare to take the snack anymore.

Guang Yan glanced at the two of them, his eyes full of contempt. When Emperor Wen Xuan hosted a banquet on the Tian Xing platform, he expressed his sincerity in accepting Utuo’s request for peace. There is no rush to open a bargaining field. In the future, I will try to figure it out slowly. As long as I can get the help of the Utuo, Xiao Huaijin will be eradicated.

He was really too impatient to get to that position.

Utuo messenger Maningbu stepped forward and knelt down in front of Emperor Wen Xuan and bowed a big bow. A series of compliments came out of his mouth. It was probably praising the emperor’s benevolence and broad-mindedness. He was surprised by the prosperity of Wei, and Utuo in the future. The country is willing to make friends with Great Wei, even respecting Great Wei.

The straight-speaking Emperor Wenxuan Longyan Dayue.

Among the hundreds of officials in the audience, there were those who were as proud as the prince, and there were also those who wrote righteous indignation on their faces like Wei Xuanzhang. What’s more, it is the forbearance of anger but not words. People say that today’s Da Wei Chaotang is no longer surnamed Song, but Xu. That’s all, what’s the matter of letting foreigners come to Tianxingtai in an open and honest manner? Since when did Wei Wei come to the field like this?

Among the military commanders, He Rufei stood at the forefront, with a relaxed expression, looking at the Utuo with no hatred. On the contrary, Yan He came back, his eyes were full of irritation, his hands were already clenched into fists, thinking that if it weren’t for the fact that he was at the Star Terrace at this moment, and the emperor was also at this moment, he might have rushed to beat Maningbu.

Xiao Jue stood beside him, and Yan He couldn’t help but whispered: “What the hell is this little dwarf talking about? Who is it to deceive? Utuo Guowang and Wei Wei befriend? I will go to Utuo to kill first. They have ten thousand people. Besides, Dawei is willing to make a good deal with Utuo, will their lord believe it?”

Seeing that Xiao Jue didn’t answer, Yan He became even more angry, turning his head to sarcastically: “Aren’t you General Feng Yun? You just watched the Utuo run wild on the Tianxing Terrace?”

Xiao Jue said calmly: “Aren’t you a general from Germany? You want to teach them, why don’t you go on your own?”

Yan He was speechless, snorted and stopped talking.

On that end, Emperor Wenxuan accepted the flattery and gifts from the Utuo messenger, and Maningbu said: “The warriors of Utuo are the best at wrestling. At the banquet, Su Ri-ri performed a wrestling match for the lord of the country. Today I would like to perform for your majesty.”

Yan He said: “The class door makes an axe.”

In fact, Emperor Wenxuan himself didn’t really like these knives and guns. After he became the throne, he was also very civilized. However, even if it was proposed by the Uto envoy himself, it was a show of grandeur and magnanimity, and it couldn’t be rejected. Therefore, he beckoned lightly, “Yun.”

Manimbu turned his head and walked out of the Utuo’s envoys, two sturdy men. The two men looked different from the short stature of the Utuo people, and they looked extraordinarily tall and strong. The hair is tied into thin braids behind the head.

Manin preached: “Your Majesty, these are the two best warriors in Utuo Nation, Nadado and Hu Yunmu, I would like to show your ugliness for your Majesty.”

Two Uto men walked to the open space in the center of the square, took off their outer clothes, and they were shirtless, shouting loudly, and then hugged and wrestled.

Standing among the officials, He Yan heard the officials behind him whispering: “It’s really a barbarian place. The appearance of being hugged together is really indecent and very indecent.”

He Yan didn’t feel indecent, only felt that this wrestling was actually a skill, not brute force. Others only see them holding each other hard and trying to fall, but it is not the case. Foot trips, back falls, mentality and speed are all things that need attention. These two utopians should not be underestimated.

In this wrestling, it took a long time to tell the winner. The officials of Wei, even with the emperor, actually watched a bit boring, because the game was really not good enough to watch. After the comparison is over, you have to brag about your conscience.

Emperor Wen Xuan rewarded the two warriors each with a plate of silver. After Manin Buxain, he said: “I heard that there are many talents in the Great Wei Army, and there are only a lot more warriors than Uto Nation. Since the adults are here today, can your majesty be open to you and open your eyes to the Uto warriors?”

Is this going to be a test?

Emperor Wen Xuan felt a little excitement in his heart.

In the past, it was recorded in the past that when a country received foreign messengers, the princess of the foreign messenger made a provocation, but was severely humiliated by the military commander’s daughter with the technique of shooting. Although I don’t know if it is true or not, the face slap that was delivered to the door is really wonderful.

There are many people in Dawei, and there are so many talents in the square today. In any case, two Utopians can win. What’s more, the Dawei people are thin and upright. Compared with the barbarians, they seem to be pleasing to the eye. For example, Feihong and Feng Yun are both first-class beautiful men. When they fight, they can definitely make the Utuo feel ashamed.

Emperor Wen Xuan thought about this, and said openly: “It’s not difficult. My eldest man, I never back down. If you are selected among the generals, they will fight against you.”

Emperor Wen Xuan was not worried that some of the generals would not be able to defeat the Utuo. As soon as the two Utuo didn’t have any weapons just now, they knew that they were holding each other with brute force, showing that their skills were not good. Secondly, Utuo people must be really smart, and they dare not win at all in full view.

After all, the Utuo still wanted to open a bargaining field in Dawei.

Maningbu smiled and said, “I heard that your Majesty awarded the first female Lord of the Wei Dynasty a reward.”

Everyone on the field was startled.

Emperor Wen Xuan was also startled, and said, “Yes.”

“That female Houye, among us Utuo people, has also heard of her fame. I heard that she was very brave and intelligent with General Feng Yun on the battlefield. Can you be here today?”

Emperor Wen Xuan frowned slightly, he did not expect that Maningbu would pick He Yan. In this Manchu dynasty, the Utuo chose a woman. How does the physical strength of the woman compare to that of the man? Although he has heard of He Yan’s contribution on the battlefield, he has also seen it with his own eyes, but she is a thin and weak woman standing next to the two Utopians just like a lamb and Black bear.

“She is a woman.”

“But it’s not an ordinary woman.” Maningbu laughed: “We also have women who can martial arts in the Utuo country, but there has never been a woman who entered the court as an official. Since they were brought by General Feng Yun, they must be compared with ordinary women. Different. Your Majesty,” he leaned down, “please let that girl fight with my utopian.”

Guang Shuo shook his head slightly, these utopians made it clear that they were bullying women, or they were avenging their private revenge. But Guang Shuo, the father of the emperor, is very clear about his face.

Emperor Wenxuan was silent for a moment and said, “Wu’anhou.”

He Yan stood up and saluted: “The minister is here.”

“You can compete with their warriors.”

There was a moment of silence in the court, and then, whispers gradually came.

Lin Shuanghe hurriedly asked Lin Mu on his side: “Father, how can a woman go to a martial arts contest?”

Lin Mu said: “Shut up.”

Xiao Jing was also worried. Yan He stabs Xiao Jue with his arm and couldn’t help but said: “Hey, your wife has been driven by ducks, why are you so calm? Xiao Huaijin, you are so ruthless. ”

Xiao Jue ignored him.

He Yan stood up, did not respond to the emperor’s words, but looked at Maningbu and asked, “Maningbu messenger, what do you think of the two famous generals of Wei?”

Maningbu looked at the woman in front of him. Before coming to Dawei, He Yan’s name had already been spread in Utuo Country. This woman fought side by side with Xiao Jue in Jiyang City, and Huyat suffered a depressing loss with her own power during the war in Rundu City. Even the spies who had been sent to Liangzhou Weili were discovered by her at first. Xiao Huaijin is terrible, but this woman who turned out to be born is not simple.

She is like General Feihong He Rufei back then, always capable of turning the tide. He Rufei, this eagle, has finally broken its wings. Is it possible that a Utopian rival will reappear?

Even if she is just a woman.

A woman who can kill on the battlefield is no longer considered a woman. In some ways, she has the qualifications to compete with men.

Maning preached: “General Fengyun and General Feihong are both admirable heroes. It is a century, no, only one general will appear in a thousand years.”

“It’s a coincidence, I think so too.” He Yan smiled slightly, “Just as the Uto warriors come to Dawei and want to learn from heroes when they meet heroes, He Yan also has heroes that he admires. If you just want to see me You don’t have to compete with me, Master Maningbu,” she said: “I’m good at swords. If it’s about wrestling, I can’t give full play to my strength. I can only compete with the sword, and if it’s the sword, I don’t compare with you. ”

Emperor Wen Xuan’s eyes lit up.

He Yan meant to compare with Xiao Jue? This is very good. She and Xiao Jue will be married right away. She won. It can be said that Xiao Jue let her be courteous. If she loses, she loses to her own person and will not lose Wei’s face anyway.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wenxuan immediately said: “I am right. It depends on Wu’anhou’s skill and the category that Wu’anhou is good at. Wu’anhou, who do you want to compete with?”

The person on the field who gave He Yan a sigh of relief, at the same time let out a sigh of relief. When Emperor Wen Xuan said this, he gave He Yan a step down. Those officials who watched the excitement were also a little disappointed. He Yan wanted to choose, so naturally he chose Xiao Jue. They exchanged discussions between the husband and wife, and they could come up with any result they wanted.

Just when everyone thought this way, He Yan walked to the military commander’s party. She did not stop by Xiao Jue’s side, and walked to He Rufei before looking at the person in front of her.

“General Feihong,” she smiled brightly, with a slightly invisible irony, “I want to see your sword.”
