The Rebirth of a Star General
Chapter 32
The capital had been peaceful for the past few days, but there was an undercurrent in the imperial palace. Spring is finally over, and once summer begins, the continuous rain seems to be endless. The whole town is covered in misty rain.
Right Army Commander Xiao Huaijin volunteered to become commander and lead the new army to the Liang Provincial Guards. After Xiao Huaijin left, the situation in the imperial palace changed again. The Crown Prince faction was overjoyed, and the word "happy" was almost written on their faces.
The commoners still had no way of relating to the matters of the imperial palace, and they continued to live their daily lives. A few days ago, the young master of the Fan Family had been killed, and the killer was still nowhere to be found. The Fan family had been looking for the killer everywhere, but they failed, so they vented their anger on Lady Fan. Who would have thought that Mrs Fan's family, the Home Minister, was no ordinary person. After a long wait, after the seventh day of Fan Cheng's death, he forced Mr. Fan to write a letter to release his wife and bring his daughter back to the manor. Tang Ying was in her prime, and her husband died shortly after she got married. How could the Tang family allow her to become a widow at such a young age? Naturally, they had to plan for his future. He and Fan Cheng had no children, so the Fan Family could do nothing.
In comparison, He Yan, who was killed along with Fan Cheng and drowned in the Chunlai River, had become a meaningless supporting character in this incident. He doesn't even have the right to discuss. Other than the He family, no one mentioned him. It was as if He Yan had never existed in this world.
He Yunsheng came out with a bamboo hat as the rain grew heavier. After He Yan's accident, he temporarily stopped going to the academy. He Yan had him go to the Willow Spring Residence to retrieve the letter in five days. Today was already the tenth day, and He Yunsheng finally found the time to come out. He was afraid that the Fan Family would wait outside to observe his movements. He Yan had fought so hard to get a chance for the He family, so he could not let it crumble in his hands.
In the past few days, he had already looked around the house. The Fan family watching over the He family had all retreated, and it was only then that he felt comfortable going out. He changed into a set of old clothes so that he would not attract attention. He lowered his head and wore a bamboo hat as he walked out of the back door, challenging the rain.
He Yunsheng lived a life worse than death for the past ten days. He can't sleep every night. He wanted to hear the news about He Yan, but he was also afraid of hearing the news about He Yan. Fortunately, ten days had passed and the authorities had yet to arrest He Yan. Perhaps from another point of view, He Yan was safe.
But he couldn't help but think, He Yan is still in the capital, where can he go? Other than the He Family, he had no other friends, so he would definitely wander around. Is he eating well? Did he sleep well? Was he intimidated? Thinking of this, He Yunsheng quickened his pace.
The reason why Willow Spring Restaurant was called Willow Spring Restaurant was because there was a spring at the back door of the restaurant. Next to the spring was a row of willow trees. There aren't many people in the store on this rainy day. He Yunsheng entered without anyone noticing.
He still remembered what He Yan had said back then.
"Go west of the city. There is a shop called Willow Spring Restaurant. There was a row of willow trees in front of the shop. Find the third willow tree from the left and dig three inches down. I'll leave you a letter there."
He Yunsheng crouched down.
He dug three inches down from the third willow tree from the left.
The ground he was digging was still wet with rain. As he dug, his fingers touched something hard. He Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat. His hands moved even faster. A moment later, he took out an oiled paper bag. He did not open it immediately to see it. He simply put the oiled paper bag into his arms and quickly filled it with the soil he dug up. He turned and left the bar.
After he left, he ran back home. When he got home, He Sui was not there. He Yunsheng returned to his room, locked the door, and took out a paper bag.
He had held it in his arms, so his paper bag was not wet. It's well protected. He Yunsheng opened the paper bag with trembling hands and saw what was inside.
There was a piece of clothing and a letter.
He Yunsheng opened the letter first. The letter may have been written in haste. The paper is crumpled and the handwriting is messy. It was probably flower paper used to wrap snacks for others. There's still oil stains on it. On the patternless side, there were a few lines of flamboyant words written with brushes.
"I have joined the army and will go to Liangzhou. The mountains are long and the river is wide. After a cold spring, a hot summer follows. I hope you will appreciate yourself. When we meet again in the future, please be careful. "
It was a summer shirt made by an old tailor. When He Yan parted with her that day, they each wore one to disguise themselves. This one was neatly folded by He Yan and sent back.
The material is very cold. When she touched it, she seemed to see a cold smile on the girl's face that day and her comforting words.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other again."
The room was quiet.
After a while, someone choked on a sobbing.
"Liar …"
He Yan, who was called a liar, did not know that he was scolded behind his back.
By the way, they were already on their way from the capital to Liangzhou. This time, they recruited less than 20,000 soldiers. There are new recruits on the way. Now that summer has arrived, the journey has become difficult. It was fine to leave early, but during the day, they were sweating profusely.
Hong Shan sat on the grass, ate the dry food and took the leaves to fan himself. It was so hot that he grimaced. "Damn it, the weather's too hot. When will we reach the end?"
"It takes more than two months to reach Liangzhou from here." He Yan poured water into his mouth. "Look easy."
"I miss green bean soup in the capital." Xiao Mai smacked his lips. "Enter it into a bowl and soak it in the well for a few hours. Put sugar on it. Sweet and cold. Completely quench thirst!"
The descriptions were so detailed that the people listening gulped down their saliva.
"Don't talk about that. We're soldiers. Don't talk about green bean soup. Good enough we're not starving." Hong Shan sighed. "If we want to eat it, we may have to wait until we receive the gift and get promoted. Then we can eat it, like Military Governor Xiao."
He Yan laughed inwardly as he mentioned Xiao Jue.
He joined the army and followed everyone to Liangzhou. They traveled day and night and slept in tents in the wilderness. Even so, he did not even look at Xiao Jue. He and his men rode in front of the team. The tents they occupy at night are different from army tents. Moreover, He Yan knew that Xiao Jue was the most meticulous person when he was at the Xianchang House. The second son of the Xiao family was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Even the princess was not too fussy about her food and clothes.
Come to think of it, even though they were traveling right now, his life was much better than theirs.
They were both young generals, but their fates were different. Now that he was reborn, he had truly become a soldier under his command. He Yan sighed. Who would believe it if he said it out loud? He still wanted to get military service and get promoted quickly. However, Xiao Jue was extremely picky. It's not easy being a soldier under him.
What could he do? He was listed on the military list. He could only see it while walking.
