Chapter 87: Another Substitute(1/2)

The second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival was a rainy day. When He Yan woke up, the rest of the people were sleeping heavily on the bunk, probably because they had not woken up last night. However, the order to run outside had been sounded, and even on rainy days, they had to train. She got up from the bed and woke the people in the room one by one.

"I'm so dizzy," Xiaomai is young and can't stop such a hangover, but she still feels that her momentum is not over. "Brother Ah He, what are you doing?"

He Yan handed him the water bag: "Take a few sips quickly and wash your face. It's time to run away."

Xiaomai took the water bag and drank water in big mouthfuls. Seeing this, Hongshan smiled and said, "Xiaomai, you and your brother need to practice more. How can this amount of alcohol be good? It's not as good as your brother Ahe."

Xiaomai glanced at He Yan and said, "Brother Ah He, do you have such a good alcohol tolerance?"

"Simply." He Yan said perfunctorily. She didn't feel a headache at the moment, but she was refreshed. She had forgotten when she had returned to the house. She only remembered that she drank with Huang Xiong in front of the bonfire and drank a few more bowls, and it seemed that the Eighteen Immortals were also boiled... By the way, where are the Eighteen Immortals?

"Why didn't I see the jar of wine that Governor Xiao praised?" Hong Shan also remembered, "That's a good thing, don't lose it."

"Maybe it's on the side of Wangba." He Yan replied. He recalled the memories carefully again, and indeed he couldn't remember anything.

She used to drink, but she was known as not drunk for a thousand cups, but she was not really drunk for a thousand cups. She would still be drunk if she drank too much, but He Yan was different from others. She was drunk and looked particularly clear when she was drunk. When she was drunk, she once got drunk and talked about military tactics with the military advisor in the tent for a night, and she looked energetic. The military advisor praised He Yan for being a rare hero in the world on the second day. In fact, He Yan didn't remember what he did last night.

Even if she is drunk, others can't see it. She will not be able to walk around and talk nonsense. Therefore, she will not be seen as a scene of losing her composure, but what did she do last night?

I couldn't think of it anymore, so I followed everyone to wash my face and clean it up, and went outside to get the dry cakes.

After the rain, the ground was wet and we could not run too fast to avoid slipping. He Yan ran and felt that someone was looking at him. After following his eyes, he saw the chief instructor Shen Han standing at the end of the horse road, staring at her without blinking, with a complicated expression.

Seeing He Yan looking over, Shen Han looked away. This was very strange. She was extremely sensitive to human gazes. Shen Han looked like she was thinking about something. She looked at Shen Han again, and Shen Han had already walked away.

Perhaps He Yan looked at Shen Han with too obvious eyes, and a recruit running next to him said, "The chief coach is so fierce, he is quite good to you. What's your relationship with you? How could he take care of you like this?"

"Take care of me?" He Yan was puzzled: "Why didn't I know."

If Shen Han really took care of her, he would not have called Lei Hou to go to the forward camp.

"Last night, when we went back, we watched Chief Shen carry you back to the house in person." The recruit seemed dissatisfied, "You are too ungrateful. If it were me, Chief Shen wouldn't be so thoughtful."

He Yan was stunned.

She asked: "Did you see Chief Shen carry me back last night?"

"Yes," the recruit looked at her strangely: "You don't remember? You may not remember, you are drunk." After he said that, because his companion in front was calling him to catch up quickly, he rushed to the front without caring about He Yan's expression.

He Yan fell behind alone, unable to hide his surprise. She was drunk? Chen Han actually carried her back?

What is this? She asked Hongshan and the others in the morning, and Hongshan and the others got drunk early. The recruits in the same room dragged them back. No one woke up when He Yan came back, and he didn't know when He Yan came back and how he came back.

He Yan didn't think Chen Han was a considerate person.

She thought about it all over and over, but she didn't figure out what was going on after the run. She made up her mind and went to find Huang Xiong and the others before the run ended and the exercise began. Perhaps Huang Xiong knew, and if Huang Xiong didn't know, she would just ask Chen Han.

When the trip was over, everyone ran to the straw sheds or tents that blocked the rain to hide from the rain and drink water. Cheng Lisu came.

The young man was carrying an oil-paper umbrella with a few red and white koi painted on it, which was quite interesting. He couldn't find He Yan, so he asked around and finally found someone under the straw hut.

"Brother He!" he shouted.

He Yan didn't expect Cheng Lisu to come to find her, so he got up and walked to him, and said strangely: "It's so raining, why don't you stay in the house?"

"This is not a place to talk." Cheng Lisu pulled her and hid under an umbrella. After searching for a long time, he found the long frame on the martial arts venue with the flag station on his back. Then he stopped and looked at He Yan and said, "I got drunk yesterday. I heard my uncle talking to Brother Feinu this morning, and I realized that you went to find my uncle last night."

"I'm going to find your uncle?" He Yan was shocked.

"good."

He Yan was a little unbelievable. She actually went to find Xiao Jue? Now she is quite dissatisfied with Xiao Jue, and it is also for the sake of the forward camp. I must have found Xiao Jue to be a reminiscent of the past and drink tea, so...

"Why am I going to find your uncle?" He Yan asked slowly.

Cheng Li couldn't say anything but stopped: "You might have been drunk last night..."

He Yan: "..."

She tried her best to make herself smile as usual and said, "You just say nothing."

"You fought with my uncle and crushed his piano." Cheng Lisu answered honestly.

He Yan closed his eyes.

"Who won?" she asked.

Cheng Lisu didn't expect that He Yan was still concerned about the result at this time. He scratched his head and said, "It's probably my uncle. I heard that he asked Teacher Chen to take you back."

He Yan: "..." OK, she took advantage of the drunkenness and really went to compete with Xiao Jue, but she lost. Now Xiao Jue has no good feelings for her, and she is one step further away from entering the Jiuqi Camp.

He Yan felt discouraged and thought it was probably impossible to approach Xiao Jue in Jiuqi Camp. It would be better to change the path, or be promoted slowly as before, although he was a little slower... I just don't know what rank He Rufei has reached when she grows up to be able to approach He Rufei?

Cheng Lisu looked at her sympathetically and tried hard to comfort her: "Brother He, you don't have to be discouraged. My uncle... My uncle is not that stingy either. I came here to tell you that these days, it's better not to go to my uncle to save him from getting angry. That night's qin is very expensive, and he didn't ask you to compensate, and he's already very open."

"I can't afford to pay either." He Yan replied depressedly.

"Look, things are not bad yet." Cheng Lisu added, "You don't have to be too sad. I will say good things for you in front of my uncle!"

He Yan said listlessly: "Thank you then."

Cheng Lisu left, and He Yan looked at the figures of the red and white koi that were leaving, and felt powerless. She used to say that drinking was a mistake, but she never took it seriously. Now it seems that it is true. I only got drunk once in Liangzhou and got into trouble.

Why did Chen Han carry her back to the house? I think it was because he witnessed such a chaotic moment and knew that she would never be favored by Xiao Jue in the future, and had no hope of career, and felt sympathy for her.

He Yan said in his heart, why not, why not find an opportunity to ask Xiao Jue to apologize? If you apologize sincerely, maybe you can save it?

...

At this moment, Xiao Jue sat at the table in the room of the governor of the Right Army of Liangzhou Guard, looking at the post in his hand.

The post was sent by Sun Xiangfu, the magistrate of Liangzhou, and said that in a few days, Yuan Baozhen, the censor from the capital, would arrive in Liangzhou. The magistrate held a banquet in the mansion, and invited Xiao Jue's nephew Cheng Lisu.

Feinu stood behind Xiao Jue and said, "Young Master, it is inconvenient to take Master Cheng with you when you go to the city. Maybe it's a Hongmen Banquet, so there may be a threat."

"Yuan Baozhen and Xu Jingfu have a private relationship. They are already Xu Jingfu's people," Xiao Jue played with the post in his hand, looked at the osmanthus tree at the window, and said indifferently: "This time I was coming for me, but I happened to want to know what kind of chess Xu Jingfu was installing in Liangzhou."

"What does the young master mean?" Feinu asked hesitantly.

"Yuan Baozhen is Xu Jingfu's man, and Sun Xiangfu may not be that." Xiao Jue curled his lips and said, "The magistrate of Liangzhou should have changed a long time ago."

"The young master is planning to go to the banquet, and his subordinates want to go with him, but Mr. Cheng needs someone to protect him when he stays in the garrison. If someone is planning to do something wrong..." He did not finish his words, referring to He Yan. Now the Liangzhou Guard is unknown and extremely dangerous, He Yan is the only one.

"Besides, Mr. Cheng trusts He Yan very much. If the young master is not here..." Cheng Lisu was deceived by He Yan by listening to He Yan's words, or simply plotted by He Yan, it would not be worth the loss.

"When will Luanying arrive in Liangzhou?" Xiao Jue asked.

"Luanying is still in Loujun right now." Feinu replied, looking at Xiao Jue again, "Young Master, why not reject the post?"

"No," Xiao Jue lowered his eyes, "This banquet must be gone."

...

When Cheng Lisu came back, he saw Xiao Jue sitting at his desk reading a book. The book was a messy book he bought with the teacher quietly for money. He was shocked and stepped forward without saying a word and said, "Uncle!"

Xiao Jue was flipping through his book casually. He heard this and shook his hand, looking at him, frowned and said, "What's the name?"

"I...I was wrong!" Cheng Lisu said.

"Where is the mistake?" Xiao Jue looked at him calmly.

He didn't seem angry? Cheng Lisu was surprised that Xiao Jue didn't scold him for not practicing calligraphy well and reading these messy scripts. He guessed that Xiao Jue was in a good mood today, so he stepped forward with a shy face, "I'm right, I'm admitting my mistake to you on behalf of my elder brother. I heard that my elder brother was fighting with you last night... No, I'm having a fight, uncle, are you not angry?"

Thinking of a madman who went crazy last night and overwhelmed him Wan Xiangqin, Xiao Jue's eyes darkened and his tone was as indifferent as ever: "No."

"It's good if you don't! Uncle, you are still so generous!" Cheng Lisu hurriedly flattered.

Xiao Jue glanced at him, took out a post from his arms and threw it on his face, "Look at it yourself."

"What is this?" Cheng Lisu said while picking it up, "Isn't this a post? Someone posted a post to you, my name. Is this going to Liangzhou City? That's great! I'm almost growing mushrooms in the garrison. Let's take a look, Yuan Baozhen, the censor... Why does this person's name sound a bit familiar?" He looked at Xiao Jue suspiciously: "Uncle, who is Yuan Baozhen?"

"Don't remember?" Xiao Jue bent his lips and reminded him, "Your marriage with Miss Song was suggested by this Lord Yuan and your father. Song Ci was once the boss of Lord Yuan."

"Song, Song family?" Cheng Lisu loosened his hand holding the post, and the post fell to his feet. He seemed to have not seen it, and just looked at Xiao Jue blankly, with an unstable expression, "How could the Song family come to Liangzhou?"

"It's not the Song family," Xiao Jue said lightly: "It's Yuan Bao Town."

"Isn't it all the same..." Cheng Lisu murmured: "They came to Liangzhou and specially invited me to the banquet. It's not just to capture me back to Shuojing. I don't want to marry her... I don't want to get married..." He seemed to suddenly come to his senses and grabbed Xiao Jue's sleeve, "Uncle, you can't watch your nephew jump into the fire pit!"

"What do you have to do with me?" Xiao Jue pulled out his sleeve and flipped the book carelessly.

"It has a lot to do with you!" Cheng Lisu walked around the table and came to Xiao Jue's side, "Uncle, you know I don't like Miss Song! If I got married with her, I would rather die. I would hang myself on the day of the wedding! Uncle, you won't be saved by death, right!"

Xiao Jue stopped the movement in his hand, looked at him indifferently, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and placed it on the table.

Cheng Lisu stuttered for a moment, "What is this doing?"

"You can commit suicide now and see if I will not save you."

Cheng Lisu stared at the knife and said with a sad face: "Uncle, I really don't want to go back to Shuojing. I have been with you for half a year. I have been used to the days of Liangzhou garrison. I really can't live without you." He hugged Xiao Jue's legs and burst into tears.

Xiao Jue pressed his forehead and felt unbearable, and said, "Get up."

Cheng Lisu did not move.

"Speak again, get up."

Cheng Lisu still hugged Xiao Jue's legs and blinked at him, "Unless you promised me not to hand me over to the Song family."

"Aren't you tired of being in the garrison and wanting to go to Liangzhou City?"

"I don't want to do it now!"

The young man's voice was faint, "That's Yuan Baozhen, the Censor."
