Chapter 221 Friends visit(1/2)

A story circulated in Shuojing City recently. Someone set fire in the library in Xianchang Pavilion. The person who set fire was found and buried in the sea of ​​fire. The library was burned into a whole collection of books. It was a coincidence that it was the notes left by General Feihong He Rufei when he was studying in the library.

After so many years of Xianchang Pavilion, the most famous one is that it has produced two famous generals. Among the two famous generals, if General Feng Yun is a genius admired by the young people, then General Feihong He Rufei is a model of being often used by teachers to educate students.

"You must know that when General He was in Xianchang Pavilion, he was not good at his studies and was often the last. Even so, diligence can make up for his shortcomings. Now he is not a powerful general in the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, not everyone in the world is a genius. If you work hard, you will surely achieve great things."

As an example of "diligence can make up for shortcomings", it was not enough to rely on the words of classmates and teachers at that time to talk to each other. The notes in the library are evidence. Now this evidence has been burned away by a fire for no reason. While many gentlemen in Shuojing City secretly scolded the arson for being unethical, the students in the school cheered and cheered at the same time.

After all, it is not easy to be forced to "make up for your shortcomings with diligence".

On the He Mansion, He Rufei sat in the study and looked at his subordinates who were reporting the news.

"You mean, the dead soldiers sent out to set fire did not even leave their bodies?" he asked.

“That’s right.”

"Ru Fei," He Yuansheng narrowed his eyes, "Do you think there is something wrong?"

"But one burned a book and died in the fire. I couldn't even see the corpse. I always felt something strange."

The subordinates replied respectfully, "I have inquired about the near Xianchang Pavilion. It is true that the fire in the library is on fire. Now all the students in the school are going home. The director is asking someone to repair the burned bookshelf... It is said that "General He"'s notes are left."

He Yuansheng thought for a moment, "If you don't feel at ease, do you want to go there in person?"

"No." He Rufei refused flatly, "It's a matter of trouble now, and I must be more cautious in my words and actions. Xianchang Pavilion just caught fire. If I go again, I will inevitably be caught. The last incident has not yet been settled, so I must not take it lightly." Thinking of the last incident, He Rufei was so upset. He had already made up his mind to take He Yan's life, at least with the intention of temptation. But he didn't expect that the woman was so skillful. Fortunately, all the people he found were dead soldiers and could not reveal the secret. In the end, I pushed all the evidence to the Fan family, but the other end of the yamen refused to close the case. He Rufei sent someone to inquire and found out that it was Xiao Jue who had intervened.

Xiao Huaijin attaches great importance to his fiancée. Now it seems that he wants to stand up for his fiancée. He Rufei doesn't take Xiao Jue's daughter seriously, but he has heard of Xiao Jue's methods for a long time. Even Xu Jingfu has not been able to get benefits from this person, so of course he deserves to be afraid.

"Forget it, since the notes have been burned, it's better not to mention the others." He Rufei changed his mind, "In a short time, the utu messenger will come to Beijing. At this moment, it's better not to cause trouble."

He Yuancheng paused and looked at He Rufei, "Once the Utuner enters the capital, Your Majesty will have to discuss the main battle and peace. Rufei, our He family..."

"Dad, our He family is naturally in harmony." He Rufei sneered. "Not to mention the battle between Huayuan, we have already tied Xu Xiang together. Even for the He family, we must have to stand together. Xiao Huaijin has already made enemies with us, and helping Xu Xiang is to help us."

"Of course I know, but," a glimmer flashed in He Yuansheng's eyes, "My son, the fourth prince is very loud in the court today, look..."

"No matter how high the fourth prince's voice is, it is not as high as Xu Xiang." He Rufei frowned, "Besides, the Great Wei values ​​rules and etiquette the most. The crown prince is orthodox, and the fourth prince has no support from his mother's family. Dad, it has come to this time, our He family cannot take a neutral position and must stand on the side of the crown prince without reservation."

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

He Rufei's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. He looked at He Yuansheng, "Dad, if you want to get the wealth of the sky, you can't take risks. When my sister reached the general's point, there was no way out."

He Yuansheng was stunned, as if he was suddenly exposed to the secret in his heart, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. After a moment, he stood up and said, "Since you have made up your mind, just do what you said. If you have something to do for your father, let's leave first." He also ran away.

He Rufei looked at He Yuansheng's hurried back, smiled, leaned back, and his face gradually became gloomy.

I don’t know when the entire He family has started to act according to his expression. Even He Yuansheng and He Yuanliang must be careful when talking to him. He Rufei has heard the servants in the mansion say more than once that the eldest young master’s temperament has become more and more strange in recent years, which is particularly different from the past. After He Rufei heard it, he asked someone to execute the servants who spoke directly. After a few times, no one dared to gossip behind him again.

Those who accomplish great things are not careful. The two brothers of the He family, He Yuanliang, is timid, slick and cunning, and is useless. He Yuansheng is cruel and ruthless. Unfortunately, he has many concerns and dare not give up everything. Now there is just a woman of the same name and surname, who has become an opponent of Xiao Huaijin, and he is so obedient to his work that he is extremely obsessed with.

They didn't know that even if they wanted to do big things, it was the most common thing to dip blood in their hands. Just like in the battle of Huayuan, in order to eliminate future troubles, he took the initiative to deal with Xu Jingfu. Xu Jingfu and Utuo also had secret contacts. It was just a casual thing. In the past, He Yan's confidants were all ruined in that battle that did not require so much money.

From now on, there were very few people who knew General Feihong, and he, as a general, was at ease.

He Rufei was not guilty of what he did, and he also disliked his cousin who died prematurely. Before He Yan became "General Feihong", she had been with her name for many years. If it weren't for her identity as the "big young master", a woman who lived in the world should follow the rules and follow her husband after marriage. How could she have achieved everything that would be there? It can be said that the military merits He Yan earned were all gained by his name, and now everything is nothing to return to the original owner.

Not to mention that Wu'an Hou was obviously a substitute who pretended to be a god. Even if He Yan came to take his life, he was not afraid at all.

Because...this should be his.

...

On that day, He Yan left the house early in the morning and did not return home until the evening was approaching.

Mrs. Fan in the prison was still crazy and could not find any useful news. Madam Qin was hidden in the Xiao family, but what she knew was very limited. Xu Zhiheng would not really trust He Wanru, and Madam Qin deliberately avoided the murder at that time. Therefore, there was not much other evidence except for personal evidence. He Yan had to go there himself. Although she is Wu'an Hou, she had not yet established her own connections in the court. Her colleagues also saw that she was a woman. Although she was flattering on the surface, she was actually contemptuous. There were very few officials who could make friends with each other in the court, except for classmates like Yan He and Lin Shuanghe.

Fortunately, although the title of Wu'an Hou is not very useful, the "Xiao Jue fiancée" is more convenient than He Yan imagined. As long as Xiao Jue is brought out, most of his colleagues are still willing to sell her face. He Yan used Xiao Jue's name to inquire about the affairs of the Fu Yue army.

As she explored like this, she really found some clues.

Since He Rufei was granted the title of Feihong, there were few wars in the Wei Dynasty, so he stayed in Shuojing and never left the city. In the battle of Huayuan, He Rufei's first time on the battlefield a few years later. In this battle, the Fuyue Army led by He Rufei only won a tragic victory, and all his confidants died in battle. No deputy generals who were slightly closer to He Rufei had survived.

Most of the soldiers who survived that battle were not accessible to ordinary soldiers who could not get into the secrets of the war.

However, even so, some secret rumors still spread.

"The general that day was very different from before. He seemed to have had a dispute with the military advisor, but the military advisor had already died in the Battle of Huayuan. However... when the ukuleles came that day, we had the advantage. But the general kept holding the troops and finally gave the ukuleles an opportunity to take advantage of."

"However, maybe we are too worried. The general has experienced many battles, so naturally it is not something that we and others can understand." The soldier added.

Because General Feihong's name is too loud, no one will doubt his tactics, and no one will doubt his loyalty. But He Yan knew very well that He Rufei was deliberately asking those people to die. He Rufei had never brought troops before this, but in the battle of Huayuan, he could only wipe out his most valued subordinates and escape without his own life. There was no such reason in the world unless... he had already secretly colluded with the Utu.

Thinking of this, He Yan realized that when Rundu pretended to be He Rufei and attacked the Utu camp at night to burn food and grass, the reaction of Utu General Huyat was also very interesting.

If He Rufeizhen did not hesitate to seek flaws with the tiger and betray the king in order to protect his identity from being exposed, this crime would be unforgivable.

She was thinking about this and walked to the door of her house without realizing it. As soon as she entered the door, Qingmei saw her and hurriedly came forward and said, "Miss, you are back."

"What's wrong?" He Yanqi said. Since her identity was exposed, He Yan asked Xiao Jue to remove Chi Wu from the daytime and come back at night. A good guard could not guard her and do nothing. Therefore, after Chi Wu left, Qingmei lived back the past life. It was rare to see her so panic.

"Someone is here at home," Qingmei whispered, "I said I'm looking for a girl..."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yan heard a familiar voice, "Brother!"

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

Qingmei kindly reminded, "Young Master, our girl is a woman."

He Yan didn't expect that Cheng Lisu had come to his house. It seemed that it was a long time ago when he saw him last time. The boy had grown a little taller, but the flying between his eyebrows was still the same.

"Why are you here?" He Yan asked.

"I sneaked out today while my family was not paying attention." Cheng Lisu said with a bitter face, "I was arrested to go to school after returning to Beijing from Liangzhou Guard. I had no freedom at all. When I heard that you were back to Beijing, I wanted to come and have a look, but the school was so strict that I couldn't go out. After I got back, I heard that you were a woman and became my uncle's fiancée. Big brother! What's going on? Why did you become a woman?"

It has been so long since, but I didn't expect that there was someone else who was struggling with this matter. He Yan had no choice but to say, "I was a woman, but it was just a situation that forced me to disguise myself as a man and enter the military camp. When I returned to the capital, my identity will naturally be revealed. I misunderstood you before, I'm sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another voice saying, "So, you admitted that you were lying to someone, right?"

He Yan was stunned and saw Song Taotao coming out from behind. The little girl is now more beautiful and charming than when she was in Liangzhou Guard. The Song family probably loves this daughter very much. The clothes look very precious at first glance, making her look like a little fairy who is not as good as the worldly fireworks. But unlike her pink and jade-like face, her expression looks like a love-in-law abandoned by a unfaithful man.

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

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

Song Taotao walked to He Yan with a complicated expression. He looked He Yan up and down before he spoke resentfully, "You are really a woman."

He Yan "..."

It is impossible to talk about the little girl's thoughts, He Yan didn't notice it from beginning to end. After all, this child was simple and sincere, and he wrote all his thoughts on his face. His unconcealed admiration and favorable feelings could be seen by a fool. However, when he was in Liangzhou Guard, He Yan's identity could not be explained, and he could not remind the child that she was a woman and could not marry Song Taotao.

Now that he was coming to the door, He Yan felt a little guilty and felt like a stinky man who had deceived the innocent feelings of a young girl.

"I..." She carefully considered the words, but had not yet figured out how to say so that she would not hurt Song Taotao's fragile girlish heart.

Song Taotao was also deeply aggrieved. It had been a long time since he learned that He Yan was a woman. But Song Taotao could not convince himself and had to see He Yan in person before he believed it. Today, he finally convinced his parents and took his servants out. Unexpectedly, he met Cheng Lisu, a bad guy. Forget it. Seeing the graceful and heroic look in front of him, Song Taotao finally had to accept a heavy reality.

He Yan is indeed a woman, even a pretty woman.

How could she think such a woman was a man at that time? She was also determined to terminate the engagement with Cheng Lisu and marry her!

"It's all your fault," Song Taotao was spoiled and felt so upset that he vented all his anger on He Yan, "You're so cool, why are you going to Liangzhou Guard to cheat people!"

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

"Why didn't you do it on purpose?" Song Taotao became more angry and more aggrieved the more he thought about it. He stared at He Yan and was aggressive, "You just wanted to show your own heroic posture so that everyone could be compared. Others were watching you, you were the only ones!"

He Yan couldn't say "I..."

"It's all your fault!"

"Enough." Another voice inserted in. He Yan turned around and saw He Yunsheng walking in with a cloth bag on his back, blocking He Yan's face, facing Song Taotao with a cold face. "Who are you? Who allows you to be arrogant to my sister in my house?"

He Yan is one head and two big ones. Now, except for her and Qingmei, there are three naughty children in the room. The scene is really embarrassing.

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

"Friend?" He Yunsheng glanced at Song Taotao and said unhappily, "How can a friend be so aggressive? He Yan, I have told you a long time ago, don't be friends with everyone."

Song Taotao was stunned for a moment. He Yunsheng's appearance was too sudden, and she didn't react for a moment. He Yan said this now, and then he focused his attention on He Yunsheng. In fact, He Yunsheng was a little similar to He Yan, but he was not as gentle and warm as He Yan. He always smiled when he met everyone. He was taller than He Yan. The handsome and cold young man stood here, which was quite eye-catching.

A man who is somewhat similar to He Yan’s eyebrows but has a completely different temperament?

This felt very strange. Song Taotao stared at him blankly and forgot to speak back.

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

"I don't care if he is a girl or a man," He Yunsheng frowned, "Do you think I'm dead when you say this to you?"

The dead child is becoming more and more rebellious. He Yan said in his heart that she guessed that Song Taotao was yelled like this, and she was afraid that she would cry. Before she could think of how to comfort the crying girl, Cheng Lisu had already surrounded him in surprise and grabbed He Yunsheng's hand. "You are my elder brother's younger brother, that's my brother! My name is Cheng Lisu, Brother He, are you just finished school?"

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

"It's your sister!" Cheng Lisu answered for granted. As soon as he said that, he seemed to think it was wrong, so he quickly changed his words, "It seems that he shouldn't call him elder brother now, so he also called him elder sister? No, right? My elder brother is my uncle's fiancée. In this way, I should call him aunt!"

He looked up at He Yan, and called out "Auntie!"

He Yan "..."

Why is it inexplicable that she has such a big 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 siblings were both shocked by Cheng Lisu's natural relatives. Even Song Taotao couldn't stand it and scolded, "What are you screaming randomly? Be careful that Governor Xiao heard it and settled the score with you."

"I didn't scream anymore. Sooner or later, it's all my aunt." Cheng Lisu didn't think anything wrong with being shorter, and said happily, "In the future, I'll have two more relatives, aunt and uncle. I haven't eaten yet, why don't I have dinner together?"
To be continued...
