"Ahe?"
He Yan stayed where he was, not knowing what to be shocked first, whether to be shocked to meet Liu Buwang here, or to be shocked that Liu Buwang could recognize himself who was not his original appearance at a glance.
Liu Bu Wang untied the little girl's acupuncture point, the little girl coughed a few times, looked at them, and said nothing.
He Yan couldn't bear it any longer, and asked Liu Buwang, "Master...how do you...recognize me?"
Having seen He Yan's face under the mask, apart from a few members of the He family, only Liu did not forget. In the first battle in Moxian County, all of her comrades died in the battle. If it wasn't for Liu Buwang who picked her up from the dead, He Yan wouldn't know where she is now. Liu Bu Wang knew her identity as a woman and had seen her face, but now her face is no longer the "grandmother Xu" she used to be.
He smiled and said: "Your swordsmanship is special, and my swordsmanship is mixed, you can see it at a glance. Why, are you disguised?"
He Yan couldn't explain it to him for a while, so he only said vaguely: "It's a long story, I'll talk about this later. But Master, why are you here?"
"There are suspicious people in Jiyang City. I suspect that they are Uto people. I traced them all the way to this place." He looked at the corpse of the old woman on the ground, "I heard the sound of fighting here, come and take a look, what happened? Do you know little girl?"
He Yan shook his head: "I don't know. My friend and I passed by here and were eating at a noodle restaurant. When I saw this woman with a little girl acting suspiciously, I thought she was a kidnapper, but I never thought that there were assassins around. I suspected it was not a simple villain."
As they were talking, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind them. The two looked back and saw Xiao Jue galloping on the horse. He stopped at a distance from them, turned over and dismounted, walked to He Yan's side, and asked with a frown. :"who?"
"My own person." He Yan hurriedly explained, "This is my... Master."
"Master?" Xiao Jue asked in disbelief, "What master?"
"My skills are already number one in Liangzhou. I didn't tell you that there was an expert instructing me. This is my expert master. We haven't seen each other for many years. Today, I met here. I'm also very happy. Accident. If it wasn't for her help just now, this little girl would have died."
Liu Bu Wang looked at Xiao Jue and smiled slightly, "Under Liu Bu Wang, your Excellency is..."
"Qiao Huanqing." He said.
"Master, what about those people just now?" He Yan asked.
"If you can't beat it, run away." Xiao Jue was noncommittal: "It's you, why did you come here to catch up?"
"It's not too late to talk about these things in the future," He Yan turned to the conversation, "These people are making a big splash just to kidnap a little girl, isn't it wrong? Little girl, what's your name, where do you live, whose children are you? ' She bent over to look at the child.
The little girl was born very well. Although she was still young, she could see that she was a beautiful embryo. She seemed to be a little frightened, staring at everyone vigilantly, pursing her lips and not speaking. He Yan asked several times, but she didn't answer. In the end, she simply turned her face to the side.
"You're not really dumb, are you?" He Yan wondered.
"You are the dumb one!" The little girl replied angrily.
"So you can talk, so why didn't you answer the question you just asked?" she asked.
The little girl ignored her again.
"Maybe it's because I just experienced bad people, I don't trust others, I'm fine, it'll be fine in a while." Liu Buwang said with a smile.
He Yan sighed and was helpless for a while, so he looked at Xiao Jue: "Master, why don't you take this child back first and let Master Cui decide. If she really is a girl from a big family, Master Cui will definitely know her."
Xiao Jue nodded.
When the little girl heard the words "Master Cui", her eyes moved slightly, but in a flash, she lowered her head again to hide the strange color in her eyes.
Liu Buwang smiled: "If that's the case, let's part here."
He Yan was stunned, Liu Bu forgets this person, always like this. Ever since He Yan got to know him, he felt that this person seemed to have nothing to do with him, and everything went smoothly. She had never seen Liu Buwang befriend someone, nor did she have any dealings with others. He never seemed to feel lonely, and he didn't feel too sad about each separation. When He Yan said goodbye to him back then, he was still reluctant to part, but Liu Buwang was very open-minded and only said: "There is no such thing as a feast in the world, Ahe, you have to grow up."
When they met an old friend, they had to part before they could reminisce. He Yan felt sour in his heart, and grabbed Liu Bufu's sleeve: "Master! I... I live in a friend's house now, and his family is very big, why don't you come with me? Let's go back together, I still have a lot to ask you!"
Xiao Jue's eyes fell on her fingers that were holding Liu Buwang's sleeve, and she raised her eyebrows quietly.
Liu Bu Wang smiled and said helplessly, "Ahe, why are you still acting like a child?"
"I haven't seen Master for a long time... I thought I would never see you again..." He Yan didn't let go of his hand even when he died, "Besides, didn't you say Uto people just now? Since it is related to Uto people, it must be You have to tell Her Royal Highness Princess Mengji of Jiyang City, you can go back with me, the official I know grew up with Her Royal Highness, and they have a very good relationship, so I can report this matter."
Liu Buwang was slightly startled: "Princess?"
Seeing his different attitude, He Yan nodded again and again: "Yes, Master, you think, it is unusual for the Uto people to suddenly appear in Jiyang. It has never been easy to get around in Jiyang, let alone the Uto people, it is the Great Wei Zhongyuan. It takes many twists and turns for people to come here, but what does it mean that the Uto people can hide in Jiyang City? In short, there are many doubts in this matter, and we should go together."
Liu Bu Wang was still a little hesitant.
Xiao Jue crossed her shoulders and looked at the two of them. She hooked her lips lazily and said, "Yes, Mr. Liu, why don't you go back with us and discuss it with your good disciple."
After a long silence, Liu Buwang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go back with you. I just hope that it won't cause any trouble for you."
He Yan breathed a sigh of relief, although he kept Liu Buwang by his side, he couldn't do anything. But when I met my teacher in my previous life, I really didn't want to part ways without saying a few words.
After all, there are not many people who can remember "He Yan".
"Then let's go back to the inn first and hire a carriage to go back to Cui Mansion." He Yan said to Xiao Jue, and then sighed, "I didn't go back all night last night, and I don't know if it made Mr. Cui and the others anxious."
Liu Buwang's eyes turned on Xiao Jue and He Yan, thoughtfully.
The little girl rescued from the old woman was given medicine, her body was limp, she couldn't even walk, and she was about to fall to the ground when she took a step. He Yan thought about it and squatted down in front of her. Said: "Little girl, come up."
Xiao Jue asked, "What are you doing?"
"She can't walk, so I'll carry her to the inn." He Yan replied, "Otherwise this is not an option."
She really didn't know that her menstrual period was coming, Xiao Jue was silent for a moment, and said, "I'll carry it."
"Huh?" He Yan was startled.
The little girl was dissatisfied, and accused: "I am a woman, you are a man, how can you carry me? I want her to carry it!"
"Little devil," Xiao Jue said indifferently, "If you say one more word, I will leave you here."
The arrogant kid met the unfriendly governor, what was the difference in chess, and didn't dare to say more, for fear that Xiao Jue would leave her alone, He Yan watched Xiao Jue carry the little girl on his back and walked back all the way. post station.
When they arrived at the post station, everyone was no longer in the mood to continue eating breakfast, so they hired a carriage and told the driver to go back to Cui Mansion.
Sitting on the carriage, the carriage swayed forward, He Yan and Xiao Jue sat on the side, the little girl and Liu Bu forget sat on the side. Several people were silent, Xiao Jue suddenly said: "Mr. Liu is He Yan's master?"
Liu Bu Wang smiled and said, "Not bad."
"Then Mr. Liu's skills must be outstanding."
"Can't be the word 'excellent'."
Xiao Jue smiled lightly: "Why would you think of accepting He Yan as a disciple? After all, this..." He paused, his tone slightly mocking, "Apart from being short and stupid, he doesn't seem to have any other talent."
At this time, He Yan didn't care about Xiao Jue saying that he was short and stupid, but he was afraid that Liu Buwang would say something wrong, so he started talking nonsense: "Who said that! I was in Shuojing back then, and it was just a chance trip, who knows what happened When I met my master and accepted my apprentice, it was also fate. Among thousands of people, at that time, my master could see at a glance that I was talented and intelligent, and that I would do something in the future, so he accepted me as an apprentice and taught me martial arts. Only my master, Xianyun Yehe, who has long been outside the mortal world, taught me three years, and then traveled around the world separately. This is the first time I have met him since I separated from him!"
She consciously explained the ins and outs of all this clearly, and she only hoped that Xiao Jue would not go into it any further.
Xiao Jue looked at Liu Buwang and asked, "Really?"
Liu Bu Wang glanced at He Yan and said, "Yes."
"That's it." The young man nodded and said nothing else.
A stone fell to the ground in He Yan's heart. At this moment, he heard Liu Bu forget looking at her again and asked suspiciously, "A He, what is the relationship between you and Young Master Qiao?"
Huh, this question is difficult to answer. Now she is "Wen Yuyan" and Xiao Jue is "Qiao Huanqing". In terms of relationship, naturally they are husband and wife. But... Liu Buwang knows her true identity again. There is an unidentified little girl at the moment. If this little girl and Cui Yuezhi know each other, they can't say anything.
Xiao Jue, who looked to the side, was leaning on the carriage seat, looking at her with a half-smile, waiting to hear her answer.
"Master Qiao... is my husband." He Yan was helpless, so he had to bite the bullet and spit out a sentence with difficulty.
Liu Buwang was a little surprised: "Ahe, we haven't seen you for a few years, but you are already married?"
"Yes, yes." He Yan forced a smile.
"Alright," Liu Buwang nodded slightly, "If you have someone to accompany you, you can rest assured as a teacher."
He Yan: "..."
Having told so many lies, He Yan understood for the first time what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.
Right now.
…
After returning to the Cui Mansion, only a few aunts were there, and Aunt Wei was relieved when they saw them coming back safely, and said, "Last night, Young Master Huanqing asked someone to send a letter saying that he will be back this morning, and the kitchen will do the work. It's early and I haven't seen anyone yet, so I'm still a little worried about whether something has happened. Now I can finally rest assured." Her eyes fell on the little girl and Liu Buwang who were behind her again, and she asked suspiciously, "Are these two? …”
"This is my old friend. I didn't expect to come to Jiyang." He Yan smiled and said, "Where's my uncle?"
"My lord went into the palace early in the morning. Her Royal Highness has a call. I don't know when she will be back."
He Yan and Xiao Jue looked at each other, Cui Yuezhi wasn't there, so he had to settle the little girl first.
"Miss Yuyan and Young Master Huanqing are too early? Let the concubine heat up the small kitchen again?"
"My husband and I have already eaten," He Yan said with a smile, "but this little sister and husband haven't eaten yet, please make it and bring it to my room. In addition, make some hot water, and the little sister needs to bathe and dress up. "
Aunt Wei hurriedly agreed.
He Yan took the little girl back to his room, handed her over to Cuijiao and Hong Qiao, and asked them to bathe the little girl clean.
Just after finishing the order, Lin Shuanghe's voice came from the other end, "It's been a whole night, and I haven't returned all night, but I'm finally back! How about it, the fireflies are good-looking, I should have gone with you last night, I feel a little regretful thinking about it, so It's a pity that I didn't see the good scenery." He stepped into the back room and saw Liu Buwang standing in the room, stunned, and asked doubtfully, "This..."
"It's my master." He Yan said, "The last name is Liu, and the name will not be forgotten."
"Hello, Master Liu." Lin Shuanghe hurriedly clasped his fists in a salute, but then he wondered, "Why is Master Liu here? Could it be that you told this gentleman in advance before you came to Jiyang?"
Those words were cruel, and those who didn't know thought she was colluding with outsiders, He Yan hurriedly said, "No, no, absolutely not!"
"Young master misunderstood," Liu Buwang said with a smile, "I am originally from Jiyang. I met my disciple in the Central Plains before. I haven't seen each other for many years. I never thought that this time my disciple came to Jiyang and happened to meet."
"So it is." Lin Shuanghe also smiled: "Sir, you are not ordinary people, so you can teach such outstanding and good apprentices."
Liu did not forget but smiled.
He Yan was inexplicably embarrassed, and said, "Young Master, Brother Lin, can you go to the next room to avoid it? Master and I haven't seen each other for many years, and I have a lot to say."
"Let's listen to what you have to say," Lin Shuanghe said with a smile, "I also want to know what Sister He looked like in the past."
Xiao Jue glanced at him, then walked out and said, "Go."
"Don't you listen?" Lin Shuanghe was still a little unwilling.
"Listen to yourself."
Seeing that Xiao Jue had already gone out, Lin Shuanghe had to put away his fan with great regret, and said to He Yan, "Then sister, I'll go out first. You and Master Liu have a good time reminiscing."
Having said that, he also went out and closed the door.
Only He Yan and Liu Buwang were left in the room.
He Yan hurriedly stepped forward and helped remove the qin from Liu Buwang's back, put it on the table to the side, brought a chair, and said, "Master, sit first." Then he poured a cup of tea for Liu Buwang. .
Liu Buwang just smiled and watched her do all this. At the end, he sat down at the table, stopping He Yan from making further moves, and said, "Enough, A He, sit down."
The familiar "A He" almost made He Yan's eyes red.
She then sat down at the table and said, "Master." In an instant, it was like going back to the days when she and Liu Bubu lived in the mountains many years ago.
During the First Battle of Moxian County, He Yan was buried in a heap of dead people. The desert was extremely dry. She was going to die. Who knew that it rained at night, which forced her to survive that night. The next day, a passerby passed by and saw the corpses all over the floor, so he dug a long pit next to it and buried the bodies of the dead soldiers one by one.
He also found He Yan, who was hidden in the pile of dead people, with only one breath left.
Passers-by took He Yan back and healed He Yan. When He Yan woke up, she found that the mask on her face was missing. She got up from the collapse and found herself living in a thatched cottage. When she walked out of the door, she saw someone in the yard Sweep the floor.
It was a middle-aged man with a good temperament, wearing white clothes and wearing a white belt.
The young He Yan was a little wary and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in white stopped what he was doing, turned around to see her, smiled, and did not answer her, but instead asked, "Girl, since you are a daughter, why did you join the army?"
He Yan was startled and suddenly realized that his identity had been exposed.
Only later did she find out that the man in white who saved her was named Liu Buwan, a layman who traveled all over the world. He would go to a place every once in a while. Now he lives on a barren mountain near Moxian County, relying on his own crops. Some medicinal herbs for money to live.
He Yan asked him at the time, "Did you not meet any Xiqiang people on the road when Mr. rescued me?" There are scattered soldiers from the Xiqiang people wandering around Moxian County. It will surely suffer as well.
Liu Buwang pointed to the sword at his waist: "I have a sword, so I'm not afraid."
At first, she thought that Liu Buwang was talking nonsense, but only later, when she saw a Xi Qiang man die under Liu Buwang's sword, did she know that what Liu Buwang said was true.
Liu Bu Wang is a real world expert.
He Yan has never seen such an omnipotent person. He can use swords, knives, whips, spears and halberds, and he can also use the sword, the knife, the long whip, the spear and the halberd.
In her stupid past life, she finally did a clever thing, that is, she asked Liu Buu to be her teacher.
Liu did not forget to refuse.
But Liu Buwang did not expect that He Yan was such a persistent person. Whenever her mouth is free, apart from eating, most of the time is spent begging Liu Buwang to accept her as a disciple.
Xu Shiliu did not forget the immortal style. He had never met such a brazen person. In the end, he had no choice but to ask her, "You worship me as your teacher. What's the use of learning this?"
"I have learned these things, and when I enter the military camp again, if I encounter the Xiqiang people as before, I will not be wiped out by the entire army. Even if there is one more person, I can protect him, just like Mr. I generally."
"You still want to go to the military camp?" Liu Buwang was slightly surprised.
He Yan puzzled: "Of course."
"You know, you are a woman, and your identity is special. Now that your team has been wiped out, you can take this opportunity to go home and no one will find out your identity. The original He Rufei is dead."
He Yan was silent for a while, then raised his head, "I never thought about being a deserter."
This sentence probably moved Liu Bufu. Afterwards, Liu Buwan drank He Yan's apprentice tea, and really started teaching her hands-on. But He Yan was a girl after all, and some things were not suitable for her, so Liu Buwang tried to teach her something suitable for her. But even if he just followed Liu Buwang to learn a little bit, it was enough for He Yan to gain a lot.
What Liu Buwang taught He Yan the most was Qimen Dunjia. The combination of Qimen Dunjia and the art of war is enough to make a female general who uses her troops like a god and has a delicate formation. What about those brave generals with extraordinary powers, and what about the Xiqiang people with infinite strength, ferocity and bravery? Fighting has never just depended on strength.
"I didn't expect that now that I'm not my original appearance, Master can still recognize me at a glance." He Yan lowered his head and smiled, "How did you recognize me?"
"Your swordsmanship," Liu Buwang laughed, "is unique in the world."
When He Yan first worshipped Liu Buwang as his teacher, he wanted to show Liu Buwang his original foundation candidly. After Liu Buwang watched it, he was silent for a long time. Most probably thought that as a woman, since she had the confidence to enter the military camp, she would definitely be very skilled. But after seeing He Yan's sword and bow, Liu Buwang began to wonder if his decision was wrong.
I really don't know, where did He Yan's confidence come from
But the tea has already been drunk, and the disciples that he accepts will have to finish teaching them. Liu Buwang was also very helpless. He never accepted an apprentice, but as soon as he accepted an apprentice, he accepted the one with the worst qualifications.
Fortunately, He Yan is not without merit. This girl can't do anything except swordsmanship.
Liu Bu Wang asked He Yan at the time, "Who taught you this swordsmanship? It's not bad."
He Yan heard the words and said proudly: "There is an expert helping me secretly. I don't know who he is. I guess it is the gentleman from our school. I think my qualifications are good, so I will teach after class."
This is true. When the young He Yan entered school, the martial arts department was in a mess. Even though he practiced swordsmanship in the back of the yard every night, he still didn't make much progress. When she was about to give up, one day, she suddenly found a piece of paper on the table in the room where she lived.
On the paper is a drawing of a little person, which is the weakness and mistake of her swordsmanship when she is practicing swordsmanship in class and after class on weekdays. The above also wrote how to overcome these problems, and the instructions are very precise.
He Yan tried to practice for a few days, and he really achieved something and was pleasantly surprised. Then she found that every ten days, there would be an extra piece of paper on the table in her house, and she would adjust her pointers as she progressed.
She didn't know who the other party was. She guessed that it should be a kind gentleman in the academy. She was superior in swordsmanship. She could see her shortcomings at a glance and give pointers, but He Yan was not allowed to know which gentleman it was. And know. She tried to hide in the house and waited for the person to deliver the letter, but she caught it, but the other person didn't show up that day, so He Yan knew that the master was unwilling to show up.
I was just curious and grateful, so I took a break in the school and wrote a note on the table before returning to the house, saying: I will return to the museum in three days, I will see you in the bamboo forest in the backyard of Zi Shi, thank my benefactor in person, please Definitely make an appointment.
"And then?" Liu Bu Wang asked, "So who is that person?"
He Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she had a big quarrel with the two brothers He Yuansheng, and was sentenced to kneel in the ancestral hall. Less than three days later, she left the mansion at night, joined the army alone, and embarked on a completely different path.
"I missed the appointment."
She didn't see that person.
