The Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 1

     In the 63rd year of Qing Yuan Da Wei, in the third month of spring, rain drizzled. The new greenery in the city was shrouded in layers of mist, soaking the ground.

The roof tiles of the Xu family's residence in the capital were swept away by the rain, revealing a uniform layer of luster. This is a half-moon tile sent from Yunzhou. It is said that when the moonlight shines on the roof, it will look like fireflies perched on the roof. The process of burning these tiles is complicated, and the price is also not simple. A full tile would cost a decades' worth of hard work for an ordinary family.

However, the Xu family in the capital had silk businesses all over the country, so the most tile was a drop of water in a bucket. Master Xu is the current Crown Prince's tutor. He has two sons. The eldest, Xu Zhiheng, stood alone. At a young age, he was already a Hanlin scholar, and everyone in the capital praised him. Xu Zhiheng also had a wife. When she was 18 years old, she married the daughter of the second master of the He family, He Yan. The eldest son of the He family, He Rufei, was the current General Emperor Feihong. A marriage between a scholar and a warrior could be considered a mismatched couple.

"Mrs, what do you want?" A delicate maid in a thin dress gave her a cup of hot tea and asked sternly.

"I'll take a walk," He Yan replied and drank tea in one gulp.

"But it's raining outside ..."

"It's okay, I'll hold the umbrella."

The servant looked at the young lady in front of him. The Xu Family was a learned family, and the women were all dressed elegantly. Young Madam Xu was the same. However, the green fur satin robe he wore made him appear petty and out of place. In fact, Grandma Xu was very handsome. His facial features were distinct and heroic, and his eyes were like a cleaned, clear and distant lake.

Grandma Xu was not born blind. Three months after marrying into the Xu family, she suddenly contracted a strange illness. He had a high fever for two days and two nights, and when he woke up, he could no longer see. The Xu Family invited many god doctors, but they remained helpless. After that, Grandma Xu did not come out often. It is not convenient for a blind person to go outside.

He Yan walked to the pavilion by the pond in the courtyard.

After being married to the Xu Family for a year, she became blind after three months. In the remaining nine months, he learned to live without his eyes and adapted very well. Sometimes, he would miss the days when he could see. For example, at this time, he could hear the sound of rainwater falling into the pond and feel the red carp scrambling for food in the pond, but he could not see anything.

An invisible spring is a good spring, just like an invisible person.

Perhaps he was blind too early, so he could not even remember Xu Zhiheng's current appearance. The only thing he could remember was when he saw Xu Zhiheng when he was 14 years old. The green-clothed young man extended his hand to her with a warm smile. The current Xu Zhiheng would not extend his hand to her. Although He Yan treated her gently and politely, there was a layer of something between them. He Yan could feel it.

But he won't say it.

When he was young, he had spent many years in the military. She had learned to face men as men, but she had no idea how to be a woman. Therefore, he could only see Xu Zhiheng and his concubine mother, Madam He, being gentle and affectionate. He felt sad and tired. He can't see her anymore. Even this heart-wrenching scene was saved, so he had plenty of free time.

He sat quietly in the pavilion. Suddenly, he recalled the years when he was young and the days when he followed the army. It was also a spring day like this. Drizzling rain. He sat in the middle of the soldiers and drank a bowl of condensed wine with a smile. He felt his whole body heat up.

This heat engulfed his body in an instant. He Yan propped himself up on the fence. A wave of sweetness came out from his throat. With a "pu" sound, he spewed out a mouthful of blood.

The footsteps of someone slowly approached.

He Yan asked, "Xiao Die?"

There's no Answer. The footsteps stopped. He Yan frowned slightly. "Mrs Him?"

A moment later, a female voice was heard. "The lady has good hearing."

A strange feeling appeared in his chest. His intuition over the years made him subconsciously take a defensive stance. Madam He's always gentle and careful. He didn't say many words to her in fu. Suddenly, he came and spoke with a proud tone. He Yan was uncomfortable.

But he also felt strange. She's not a competent mistress. In fu, he's more like a decoration. He could not stop Madam He from asking for help. The blind man is no threat to Mrs He. Madam He had no need and no reason to deal with her.

"What's the problem?"

He Wanru stroked the hairpin in his hair. Xu Zhiheng gave it to him yesterday. Suddenly, he remembered that the person in front of him could not see. She regretfully pulled her hand and said, "Miss, you're pregnant."

He Yan froze in place.

"A few days ago, the doctor who examined your eyes checked your pulse. You're pregnant."

He Yan did not know what to do, but a hint of excitement appeared. He was about to speak when he heard Madam He sigh again. "It's a shame."

Too bad?

He Yan's smile disappeared. He asked, "What a shame?"

"It's a pity that this child can't be nurtured."

He Yan said firmly, "Miss He, how dare you!"

Her long and beautiful eyebrows shot up, and her gaze was like a knife. Even though he was blind, his expression was terrifying. He Wanru's hair stood straight. But after a while, he steadied his mind and said, "I'm not the only one saying this, General He."

He Yan's scalp was numb upon hearing the words "General He". He asked, "What do you know?"

"I know everything I should know. I also know everything I shouldn't know. General He, with a big secret, how did the He Family and the Xu Family dare to tolerate you? "

He Yan could not speak.

Before the He Family had a general like General Feihong, they were like all the noble families in Da Wei. They are even on the verge of decline. Nineteen years ago, the brother-in-law of the He Family gave birth at the same time. The oldest young mistress of the He Family gave birth to He Rufei, and the second young mistress of the He Family gave birth to He Yan.

The He family discussed it and made a bold decision. He Yan replaced He Rufei. He Rufei lied that he was He Yan. He was born with a weak body and sent to the temple to recuperate.

He Yan grew up with the identity of He Rufei. Although she was born in the second branch, she grew up in the first branch. Since childhood, he considered himself a man and loved to practice martial arts. When he was fourteen years old, he joined the Fuyue Army behind the backs of his family. Gradually, he became famous in military campaigns. He even received the title of General Feihong from the Emperor and had the opportunity to enter the palace to meet with the Emperor.

It was at that moment that He Rufei, who was sent to the temple to "restore", returned.

He Rufei is not dead. He even lived peacefully until he was eighteen years old. He looks agile, healthy, and handsome. Thus, everything returned to its original state.

He Rufei met the Emperor and became General Feihong. He Yan is still He Yan. Everything is not as difficult as imagined. In order to prevent such a situation today, the He Family had long made a rule that He Yan would wear a mask and no one would see the appearance of He Rufei. He Yan was arranged by the He Family to marry the current Hanlin Academy scholar, young talent Xu Zhiheng.

Xu Zhiheng was handsome, gentle, considerate, and courteous. Her mother-in-law was also generous and never treated her harshly. For a woman, this is the best marriage. He Yan also used to think like this. To this day. His warmth mask was torn apart. The bloody truth was even more terrifying than the hardest battle he had ever faced on the battlefield.

"The bowl of soup that poisoned you was personally ordered by the elders of your family to deliver it. Only the dead can keep a secret. As long as you are alive — — You are a big threat to them! "

"When you take the medicine, Eldest Young Master is watching from the next room."

"If you die, the He Family and the Xu Family will only be relieved. You just blame yourself."

He Yan laughed out loud.

Blame her?

Blame him for what?

Blaming him for taking He Rufei's identity for the benefit of his family? Blame him for obsessing over martial arts and learning to join the army? Should he be blamed for drinking blood on the battlefield and killing the enemy to the end? Or blame him for kissing His Majesty and being awarded the title of General Feihong and letting He Rufei receive his meritorious services?

Blame her. Blame her for being a woman. Since she was a woman, she could not use her own name to make achievements openly. Since she was a woman, she deserved to pave the way for the He Family and the men from the He Family. In the end, he exaggerated the He Family's humanity and underestimated the He Family's selfishness.

And Xu Zhiheng ..... He should have been blind long ago to think that he was good.

"What are you laughing at?" He Wanru frowned and asked.

"I'm laughing at you." He Yan looked at her and said word for word, "I laugh at how ridiculous you are. I died for a secret. Do you think you can still live after knowing this secret? "

He Wanru sneered, "You're going to die and you're still very stubborn. Keeper …"

The guards quickly appeared and surrounded He Yan.

"Kill him!"

The willow branch can be used as a weapon. They were soft and tough, like women's hands. They are clearly light branches with new shoots on them. They were like flower-embroidered swords and could sweep away an opponent's sword.

He Wanru had also heard the name of General Feihong. She knew that the woman was brave and good at fighting and did not look like an ordinary girl. But only when he saw it with his own eyes did he know that the rumors were true.

He Yan was already blind, but he could still fight against ten. He kicked the guard in front of him, as if wanting to break through the siege in this gloomy house and ride his horse back. No one can stop him.

But suddenly, he fell from the air like a wild goose that shot an arrow. The blood he spouted splashed onto the grass like a small wildflower.

That cup of tea .. the cup of tea that Xiao Die gave her.

He lost his sight and now even his five senses. He really is a blind man, a cornered beast.

In order to kill him, they actually made very easy preparations.

"A group of idiots. Now!" He Wanru said anxiously.

He Yan wanted to raise his head. "Bang!" He felt a sharp pain in his knee. The person behind him hit his feet hard. His legs became soft and he almost knelt down. But in the next moment, his back was hit again.

Fists fell apart and hit his body like raindrops. His internal organs are sick.

They would not hurt him with a sword or leave a trace of evidence on his body.

Someone pulled her hair and dragged her to the edge of the pool. His head was pushed down hard. Cold water soaked his eyes, nose, mouth, and neck. He Yan could no longer speak. His body fell heavily, but he struggled to look up. The water is getting farther and farther away from him. The sky is like sunlight. For a moment, he felt like he had returned to his hometown. He faintly heard the songs sung during the parade. His friends read the letter home with their local accents, accompanied by a frantic crying Mrs He.

"Guard, Madam drowned …"

He wants to go home.

But he's homeless.
