Chapter 168 confrontation(1/2)

The confidants were wiped out?

There was a moment of blankness in He Yan's mind, and then there was the grief and anger of liberation.

This is not an accident at all, it is a murder! He Rufei did it on purpose, but he was afraid that during the Battle of Huayuan, he had already exposed his strength and might have decided to eliminate the roots before he was discovered. Since the He family could kill himself who was still in love with blood, He Rufei could also use the same method to "confidants" who were not relatives or not.

The anger made her whole body chill, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red in an instant. The hand holding the branch couldn't help but use force, and the branch was crushed into two pieces by her. The sound alarmed the person who was talking. Lin Shuanghe and Chen Han looked back and saw He Yan. Lin Shuanghe said strangely: "Brother He, why are you here?" He was about to come forward. He Yan took a step back and knew that he could not speak well with Lin Shuanghe at this moment, but would be discovered by someone, so he hurriedly said: "I have something to do, let's go first." He turned around and left.

Lin Shuanghe stopped in place, after a while, turned his head to look at Chen Han: "...You just heard Brother He's voice, are you a little crying?"

Chen Han: "...... Maybe Mr. Lin was wrong."

Did he hear it awkwardly? Lin Shuanghe recalled it carefully, and felt that He Yan's voice was a bit strange just now, as if he couldn't help crying.

At this moment, Xiao Jue and Fei Nu walked in from outside and saw Chen Han and Lin Shuanghe standing in the yard, frowned slightly: "What are you doing when you stand here?"

"I'll tell you something." Lin Shuanghe asked, "Didn't you see my brother He when you came in?"

"He Yan?" Xiao Jue said calmly: "No." He entered the house while saying.

Chen Han bowed to Lin Shuanghe, and he was going to the martial arts field. Lin Shuanghe followed Xiao Jue into the house, and Fei Nu stood aside. He closed the door, looked back at Xiao Jue who took off his cloak, and said, "Huaijin, are you still having a cold war with my sister He?"

Xiao Jue glanced at him: "I'm not as bored as you."

"Why did my sister He look like she was about to cry just now?" Lin Shuanghe whispered to himself, then looked at him: "You have been kind to my sister He these few days. I don't know what happened to her and Chu Zilan. I see that she is very depressed these few days. My sister He is particularly inferior in her heart and she is not allowed to love Chu Zilan. If you speak coldly to others, you will be a little girl after all, and you will inevitably be sad." Lin Shuanghe squeezed at Feinu and signaled Feinu to follow the conversation: "Is it, Feinu?"

Feinu stood straight and pretended not to hear his words. He only thought in his heart that He Yan was inferior? There was no one more arrogant than He Yan in Liangzhou Guard. The word inferiority complex could not be matched with He Yan, and I don’t know how Lin Shuanghe saw it.

When Xiao Jue heard this, his expression became even colder, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's Chu Zilan's business."

Lin Shuanghe thought to himself, why are one or two so stubborn? Thinking about it carefully, it’s really not that He Yan is unwilling to believe that Xiao Jue is interested in her. As for Xiao Jue’s cold and ruthless attitude, if it were Lin Shuanghe, he would have doubts. This doesn’t seem to like it, it’s simply like an enemy.

"You have nothing else to do, just go out first," Xiao Jue said: "I have something to say to Fei Nu."

He was going to do serious business. Lin Shuanghe didn't dare to disturb him, so he said, "Okay, you guys say, I'll go out first and come to you later."

After Lin Shuanghe left, Fei Nu locked the door and walked to Xiao Jue, "Governor, Huayuan's war..."

"The reenactment of the Mingshui battle." Xiao Jue interrupted him.

Fei Nu was silent for a moment: "It seems that there is no problem, but it cannot stand the scrutiny. General Fei Hong brought 150,000 troops and horses, and with his past military achievements, he was not worthy of victory so tragic."

"Not only that," the young man leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, his hands were extremely white, and he stroked the teacup in front of him, his voice faintly: "The trusted and several deputy generals all died in battle, and there is no such coincidence in the world."

General Feihong's confidants were all deputy generals who fought with him in blood and fought from the sea of ​​blood. This was not the first time he went to the battlefield. Although there was a traitor, it was okay to deceive others, but it was a bit difficult to deceive them. Besides, with Mingshui in front of him, now when I look at the battle of Huayuan again, I feel that there are loopholes everywhere.

"Young Master thinks..."

"It's more like silence than accidents." Xiao Jue replied indifferently.

Fei Nu was silent. If it was to silence him, what was the reason for silence? In the battle of Mingshui, Xiao Zhongwu and his confidants lived forever, but now He Rufei is still alive, and He Rufei is not among the targets of silence. Then, He Rufei wants to hide some secrets that he will kill all his confidants.

What is the secret that He Rufei wants to hide?

Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, and after a while, he looked up at Fei Nu: "Go and tell Luan Ying that I want to know the news about Huayuan's battle from beginning to end."

Feinu took the order and left.

Xiao Jue leaned against the back of the chair and his eyes fell on the swaying branches in front of the window. He had spent a lifetime with He Rufei. He Rufei was a... a very stubborn, so simple that he was almost stupid, and persistent. He was not surprised that He Rufei later became General Feihong. If a person insisted on something, he would succeed no matter what he did. But Xiao Jue still doubted that He Rufei would personally kill his confidant who had been following him for a secret.

This is not like He Rufei in the past.

But... nothing is absolute, people's hearts are easy to change, perhaps... He Rufei has already changed.

...

He Yan has been sitting by the Wulu River.

It was already deep in the night. Since Lin Shuanghe learned from Lin Shuanghe that He Ru had died in battle in the battle of Huayuan, she left the crowd. There was no one by the Wulu River. She could sit here and vent her emotions.

When He Rufei was a confidant, he was the brother who accompanied her to survive from the battlefield step by step, living and dying together, and having a deeper friendship than others. He Yan originally thought that even if He Rufei was afraid of his identity, the most thing was that he would no longer lead troops to fight, or he was sick and rarely saw old friends. But He Rufei was even more vicious than she thought, and he would not stop doing anything and wipe out all the deputy generals.

What were they thinking before they died? Maybe someone discovered He Rufei’s wrong, maybe no one noticed it yet. Maybe when they died, they didn’t expect to die at the hands of the general they trusted. They did not die under the butcher knife of the enemy on the battlefield, but died in the ugly and bizarre struggle of their own people. How ridiculous and unreasonable!

With a "bang", the whip fell heavily on the huge rock in front of him, breaking a corner of the stone. He Yan twitched the long whip in his hand, as if he wanted to make his heart full of grief and anger. The sound was uploaded far away from the empty river bank.

I don’t know how long it took until the whip whipped on the huge rock, and the colorful ears hanging on the wooden handle were beaten and flew out. He Yan stopped and took a breath, looked at his hands, and didn’t feel it when he vented. At this moment, he saw that his hands were covered with red marks, and he finally felt tired.

She put away the long whip on her waist and walked to the Caixen that was thrown to one side. Half of the Caixen was stained with the river water, and the other end fell into the stone. He Yan leaned over and picked it up, and saw the small pomegranate flower being thrown into two halves.

He Yan stared at the pomegranate flower that fell in half. For a moment, what appeared in his mind was the way he used to celebrate with his brothers in the military camp with a smile. He felt sad and sat on the ground, buried his head in his arms, and sobbed in a low voice.

She rarely shed tears for herself, but now she cannot think that nothing happened. She did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. For a moment, guilt, self-blame, sadness, and anger were intertwined. Apart from the sob of pain, she could hardly have any other thoughts.

In the wilderness, there is only a low sound of wind, and the sound of wind is also cool, cooling over the snow in the desert.

The sound of someone's footsteps came.

At first it was just a slight, but later, it stopped about a few steps away from her, and her cold voice almost blended with the night color. His name was He Yan.

"He Yan."

Before He Yan could put away his gorgeous tears, he subconsciously raised his head and turned around to look at the young man's brocade clothes and green boots, beautiful posture, and his shimmering black eyes were fixed on her, with a faint expression.

"...Governor." He Yan reached out and wiped the tears from his face randomly, and said as if nothing had happened: "Why are you here?"

He didn't say anything, his eyes fell on He Yan's palm. He Yan was still holding the colorful spikes that had just been exposed, and half of the colorful spikes were exposed outside.

After a moment, Xiao Jue looked away and asked, "What are you crying?"

He Yan's heart shrank, and he wanted to find a place where no one could vent, but he never thought that Xiao Jue had actually come here. What is this? She couldn't tell the truth, but the Caisui in her hand reminded her. He Yan thought about it and said, "I... my ear is broken, I'm anxious for a moment." Afraid that Xiao Jue would not believe it, He Yan spread his palms and showed him the jade pomegranate broken in half: "Look, it fell in half, and I'm afraid it won't be repaired."

She was still dressed as a teenager and her eyes were red. The last time she saw her like this, Liu Buyue passed away. He Yan was definitely not a person who would cry for a colorful ear. For a moment, Lin Shuanghe's previous words rose in Xiao Jue's ears.

"My sister He is extremely inferior in her heart. She loves Chu Zilan but cannot. If you speak coldly to others, you will still be a little girl, and you will inevitably be sad."

Love but not?

Yes, he had already seen He Yan look frustrated as the last time Chu Zilan broke the appointment on Baiyue Mountain.

He Yan saw the young man in front of him walking up to him and leaned over to look at her. His eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful and he got very close, but He Yan was inexplicably scared. The other party's voice was also calm, and he said, "I just like it so much. No matter how sad I feel, I still have to persist?"

He Yan widened his eyes slightly.

What he said...What does this mean?

He stared at himself silently, his eyes as dark as the night in the city, deep and shallow, clear and faint.

I don’t know how long it took, Xiao Jue stood up straight, turned his back to her, and said in a low voice: “You are here, it will affect the resting soldiers of the Nanfu nearby.”

"go back."

After saying this, he left without looking back. After He Yan left, he wiped his face with his sleeve, stood up, and looked back at the river in the distance.

We can't let He Rufei continue like this.

He Rufei has lost his mind and will only become more serious afterwards. He doesn't have much time to leave her. He may not be able to stay in Liangzhou Guard.

We must return to Shuojing as soon as possible.

...

He Yan thought so in his heart, but before she could come up with a solution to go back to Shuojing, someone wanted to leave first, it was Chu Zhao.

On this day, the martial arts training ground was over. He Yan had eaten and walked into the house by himself. She felt uncomfortable because of the battle in Huayuan these days. She seemed to be worried every day, and everyone didn't understand what she was. He Yan wanted to continue to inquire about He Rufei's news, but He Rufei's news first reached Xiao Jue, followed by the coaches, and finally the recruits. General Feihong was far away in Huayuan, and he was hard to train every day and could not stay away.

She walked back to her yard and saw someone sitting on the stone table in front of her. At first, He Yan thought it was Xiao Jue, but these days Xiao Jue went out early and returned late, and it was difficult for He Yan to meet him. When he got closer, he saw clearly that it was not Xiao Jue, but Chu Zhao.

The weather became hotter and hotter, and his clothes were extremely thin. Because of his thin figure, he was wearing green clothes and wide sleeves. He sat in the yard, and even the simple yard was filled with a little fairy spirit. He Yan approached and said, "Brother Chu."

"Brother He," Chu Zhao stood up and smiled, "I'm here to find you. If you are not here, I'm waiting here. I thought you were going to return late at night, but fortunately I came back early."

"Why are you waiting outside?" He Yan sat down on the stone bench. "In summer, there are mosquitoes everywhere. You are already thin. If you feed the mosquitoes, you will have nothing left."

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, amused by her words, shook his head and took out a small sachet from his sleeve: "Thank you for your care, but there are herbs for repellent mosquitoes here, and the mosquitoes are not close to you."

The young master of a wealthy family is really a young master. He is so particular about his work, no wonder he will never be in a mess.

Chu Zhao put the sachet on the table and said, "Brother He, I'm looking for you, and I'm here to say goodbye to you again. The last time I walked in a hurry, and I left without saying goodbye. This time I should be full of courtesy."

"Farewell?" He Yan was not too surprised. It was not a long-term solution for Chu Zhao to stay in Liangzhou Guard. People in Liangzhou Guard were hard-working every day. Even if Chu Zhao was a spy or a spy, he would not get anything here every day. This place was bitter and cold, and the young master who was dressed in a rich and frugal family did not need to suffer here. Sooner or later, he would have to return to Shuojing.

Chu Zhao nodded, "Brother He should have known about the battle between Huayuan?"

Unexpectedly he would mention Hua Yuan's incident, He Yan was stunned and immediately replied: "Yes."

"The Uttuan has already planned to attack the Great Wei, and the capital is inseparable. Not only me, I think that the Governor Xiao will return to Shuojing soon after coming. Now the Uttuan is still in Huayuan and has not gone north of Huayuan. I have to take a step forward. After the Uttuan goes north, it is difficult to walk. I am afraid that it will not be easy to return to Shuojing again when Jieshi goes back." Chu Zhao smiled, "Besides, I stayed in Liangzhou Wei, and I originally planned to leave after the Jiyang matter is settled. Now that you have already signed Wu'anlang, I have nothing to worry about."

This is a pleasing statement, as if he was staying in Liangzhou Guard for He Yan. He Yan said: "Brother Chu is grateful for his kindness. I hope he will have a smooth journey when he returns to Beijing this time."

The handsome young man smiled gently, stared at himself deeply without saying a word.

He Yan touched his face: "......Is there anything on my face?"

Chu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, and then looked up after a while and said, "In fact, in addition to saying goodbye to Brother He today, there is another thing I want to discuss with Brother He."

He Yan asked: "What?"

"Brother He..." He spoke slowly, "Are you willing to walk with me and go back to Shuojing together?"

The surroundings became quiet.

After a while, He Yan said, "Brother Chu, stop kidding, how can I leave with you?"

"Although Brother He is still a member of Liangzhou Guard, he really summed up it up. He is Wu'anlang, the emperor's imperial seal. He can be controlled by Governor Xiao, but he is not a soldier under Governor Xiao. I have Your Majesty's instructions to select new recruits from Liangzhou Guard as guards. If Brother He is willing, he can walk with me, and there is no need to worry about Your Majesty's blame."
To be continued...
