The second day after the Mid-Autumn Festival was a rainy day. When He Yan woke up, the rest of the people were sleeping on the bunk, probably because they hadn't woken up from the drink last night. It's just that the order to run outside has been sounded, and even if it is raining, we have to train. She got up from the bed and woke up everyone in the room.
"I'm so dizzy," Mai was young and couldn't stop such a hangover, but he still felt that he didn't have enough strength, "Brother Ah He, what are you doing?"
He Yan handed him the water bag: "Hurry up and take two sips, wash your face, it's time to run away."
Mai took the water bag and took a gulp of water. Seeing this, Hong Shan smiled and said, "Mai, you and your brother have to practice more. How can you handle this amount of alcohol? It's not as good as your brother Ahe."
Mai Mai glanced at He Yan and said, "Brother Ah He, are you drinking so well?"
"Let's be so-so." He Yan said perfunctorily. She doesn't feel a headache right now, but she is refreshed, but she has forgotten exactly when she returned to the house. I just remember that I was drinking with Huang Xiong in front of the bonfire. I drank a few more bowls, and it seems that I even opened the Eighteen Immortals... By the way, what about the Eighteen Immortals
"Why didn't you see the jar of wine that Dudu Xiao rewarded?" Hong Shan also remembered, "That's a good thing, don't lose it."
"Probably on Wangba's side." He Yan replied. I recalled my memories carefully, but I really couldn't remember anything.
She used to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but it's not really a thousand cups without getting drunk. If you drink too much, you will still get drunk, but He Yan is different from others when he gets drunk. When he was drunk, he didn't show anything on his face, and he looked extraordinarily bright. When he was in the army, he was drunk once, and he discussed the art of war with the military officer in the tent all night, and he looked in high spirits. On the second day, the military advisor praised He Yan as a rare hero in the world. In fact, He Yan did not remember what he did last night.
Even if he is drunk, others can't see it. Nor will he be vain and talk nonsense. So, it is a scene that will not be seen by others, but what did she do last night
I couldn't think of it any longer, so I followed the crowd to wash their faces and clean up, and went outside to lead the biscuits and ran away.
After the rain, the ground is wet, so don't run too fast to avoid slipping. He Yan was running, feeling that someone was looking at him, and following his gaze, he saw the head coach Shen Han standing at the end of the horse path, staring at her without blinking, with a complicated expression.
Seeing He Yan looking over, Shen Han looked away. This is very strange, she is very sensitive to people's eyes, Shen Han looks like she is thinking about something. She looked at Shen Han again, and Shen Han had already walked away.
Probably because He Yan's gaze on Shen Han was too obvious, a recruit running beside him said, "The head coach is so fierce, he's still very kind to you. What's the relationship between the two of you, why does he take care of you like this?"
"Take care of me?" He Yan was inexplicable: "Why don't I know."
If Shen Han really took care of her, he would not have ordered Lei Hou to go to the forward camp.
"Last night, when we went back, we watched Head Coach Shen carry you back to the house in person." The recruit seemed dissatisfied, "You are too ungrateful, if it were me, Head Coach Shen would not be at all. So thoughtful."
He Yan was stunned.
She asked, "Did you see the head coach Shen carrying me back last night?"
"Yeah," the recruit looked at her strangely: "Don't you remember? You probably don't remember, you are drunk." Regardless of He Yan's expression, he rushed forward.
He Yan was left behind, unable to hide his surprise. is she drunk? Shen Han actually carried her back
What's the point. She asked Hong Shan and the others in the morning. Hong Shan and the others were drunk early, and the recruits in the same room dragged them back. When He Yan came back, no one woke up, and no one knew when He Yan came back or how.
He Yan didn't think Shen Han was a considerate person.
She thought about it, and didn't know what was going on until the end of the run. Then she made up her mind to wait until the end of the run and go to find Huang Xiong and the others before the drill started. Maybe Huang Xiong knew, if Huang Xiong didn't know either, she would directly ask Shen Han.
When the running was over, and everyone ran to the grass shelter or tent to hide from the rain and drink water, Cheng Li always came.
This young man is holding an oil-paper umbrella with a few red and white koi painted on it, which is quite interesting. He couldn't find He Yan, so he asked around, and finally found someone under the grass hut.
"Brother He!" he shouted.
He Yan didn't expect Cheng Lisu to come looking for her, so he got up and walked over to him, and said strangely, "It's raining so hard, why don't you stay in the house?"
"This is not the place to talk." Cheng Lisu took her to hide under the umbrella, and after searching for a long time, he found the long frame of the Yanwu Arena carrying the flag, then stopped, looked at He Yan and said, "I drank yesterday. I'm drunk, I heard my uncle talking to brother Feinu this morning, and then I realized that you went to my uncle last night."
"I went to find your uncle?" He Yan was shocked.
"good."
He Yan couldn't believe it, she actually went to Xiao Jue? Now she is quite dissatisfied with Xiao Jue, and it is also for the vanguard camp. Looking for Xiao Jue will definitely not be a tea reminiscence, then...
"What am I looking for your uncle to do?" He Yan asked slowly.
Cheng Lisu hesitated: "Last night you were probably drunk..."
He Yan: "..."
She tried her best to give herself a normal smile and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it."
"You fought with my uncle and broke his qin." 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 outcome at this time. He scratched his head and said, "It's probably my uncle. I heard that he asked Teacher Shen to take you back."
He Yan: "..." Okay, she really went to Xiao Jue for a fight while she was drunk, and she lost, isn't Xiao Jue even more unfavorable to her now, and she is far away from her entering the Nine Banners Camp step.
He Yan suddenly felt disheartened, thinking that it was probably impossible to approach Xiao Jue through the Nine Banners Camp. It's better to change the path, or to be promoted slowly as before, although the action is a bit slower... I just don't know when she grows up to be close to He Rufei, how many rank He Rufei has reached
Cheng Lisu looked at her sympathetically, and tried her best to comfort her: "Brother He, you don't need to be discouraged. My uncle... My uncle is actually not so fussy. I'm here to tell you that these days, you'd better not go there. My uncle was in front of him, so he was angry. That wanxiangqin was very expensive, and he didn't ask you to pay for it.
"I can't afford it either." He Yan replied in frustration.
"Look, things aren't too bad." Cheng Lisu added, "You don't have to be too sad, I'll say good things for you in front of my uncle!"
He Yan listlessly said, "Thank you very much then."
Cheng Lisu left, and He Yan looked at the silhouettes of the red and white koi leaving, and felt powerless for a while. In the past, the brother in the account said that drinking was a mistake, and she never took it seriously, but now it seems that it is true. I only got drunk once in Liangzhou, so I stabbed the basket.
Why did Shen Han personally carry her back to the house? I want to come because I have witnessed such a chaotic moment, knowing that she will never be favored by Xiao Jue in the future, her career is hopeless, and she has sympathy for her.
He Yan thought to himself, or else, let's find a chance to go to Xiao Jue to apologize and apologize sincerely, maybe it can be saved
…
At this moment, Xiao Jue was sitting at the table in the house of the commander-in-chief of the Weiyou Army in Liangzhou, looking at the post in his hand.
The post was sent by Liangzhou magistrate Sun Xiangfu with him, saying 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 Xiao Jue's nephew Cheng Lisu was also invited.
Fei Nu stood behind Xiao Jue and said, "Young master, it is inconvenient to take Mr. Cheng with you when you go to the city. It's probably a Hongmen banquet, which may be a threat."
"Yuan Baozhen has a private relationship with Xu Jingfu, and is already Xu Jingfu's person," Xiao Jue played with the post in his hand, looked at the osmanthus tree in the window, and said lightly, "This time it was aimed at me, but I happened to be there too. I want to know what kind of chess Xu Jingfu placed in Liangzhou."
"What does the young master mean?" Fei Nu asked hesitantly.
"Yuan Baozhen belongs to Xu Jingfu, Sun Xiangfu is not necessarily not." Xiao Jue curled his lips and said, "The magistrate of Liangzhou should have changed a long time ago."
"Young master is planning to go to the banquet, and his subordinates want to go with him, but Young Master Cheng needs someone to protect him when he stays in Weisuo. If someone plots to do something wrong..." He didn't finish speaking, referring to He Yan. Now Liangzhou Wei's identity is unknown and extremely dangerous, that is, He Yan alone.
"Besides, Young Master Cheng trusts He Yan very much, if the young master is not here..." If Cheng Lisu listened to He Yan's words and was deceived by He Yan, or was simply calculated by He Yan, it would not be worth the loss.
"When will Luan Ying arrive in Liangzhou?" Xiao Jue asked.
"Luan Ying is still in Lou County right now." Fei Nu replied, looking at Xiao Jue again, "Master, why don't you reject the post?"
"No," Xiao Jue lowered her eyes, "I have to go to this banquet."
…
When Cheng Lisu came back, he saw Xiao Jue sitting at his desk reading a book. The book was a messy book of words that he quietly spent money to buy in the hands of the instructor. He was startled and stepped forward without saying a word, saying: " uncle!"
Xiao Jue was flipping through his book, and when he heard the words, his hand shook, looked at him, and frowned, "What's it called?"
"I... I was wrong!" Cheng Lisu said.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jue looked at him calmly.
You don't seem angry? Cheng Lisu was surprised that Xiao Jue didn't scold him for not practising his calligraphy well and read these messy words, guessing that Xiao Jue was in a good mood today, so she shyly said, "I'm right, I'm confessing to you on behalf of my eldest brother. , I heard that my eldest brother fought with you last night... No, let's discuss it, uncle, are you not angry?"
Thinking of a madman who was mad and overwhelmed him with Wanxiangqin last night, Xiao Jue's eyes darkened, and his tone was as indifferent as always: "No."
"It's fine if you don't! Uncle, you are still so generous!" Cheng Lisu hurriedly flattered.
Xiao Jue glanced at him, took out a message from his arms and threw it on his face, "Look at it yourself."
"What is this?" Cheng Lisu picked it up and looked at it, "Isn't this a post? Someone posted a post for you, uncle, and here is my name. This is going to Liangzhou City? Great! I'm about to grow mushrooms in the guardhouse today. Let me see, Yuan Baozhen, the censor of the inspectorate... Why does this person's name sound familiar?" He looked at Xiao Jue suspiciously: "Uncle, who is Yuan Baozhen? "
"Don't remember?" Xiao Jue curled her lips and reminded him, "The marriage between you and Miss Song was suggested by Sir Yuan and your father. Song Ci used to be Sir Yuan's boss."
"Song, Song family?" Cheng Lisu loosened his hand holding the post, and the post fell beside his feet, he didn't seem to see it, he just stared at Xiao Jue blankly, his expression uncertain, "Why did the Song family come to Liangzhou? "
"It's not the Song family," Xiao Jue said calmly, "it's Yuan Baozhen."
"It's not all the same..." Cheng Lisu murmured: "They came to Liangzhou and specially invited me to the banquet, not because they wanted to take 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 just watch your nephew jump into the fire pit!"
"What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Jue pulled his sleeve out of his hand and casually flipped through the book.
"It has a lot to do with you!" Cheng Lisu walked around the table and came to Xiao Juesi, "Uncle, you know I don't like Miss Song! If I marry her, I'd rather die, and I'll hang myself on the day I get married! Uncle You won't die without help!"
Xiao Jue stopped what he was doing, looked at him indifferently, took out the long sword from his waist, and placed it on the table.
Cheng Lisu stammered, "What, what is this?"
"You can kill yourself now and see if I will die."
Cheng Lisu stared at the knife and said with a sad face: "Uncle, I really don't want to go back to Shuojing. I've been with you for half a year, and I'm already used to the days of Liangzhou guardhouse. I really can't live without you." He hugged Xiao Jue's leg and burst into tears.
Xiao Jue pressed his forehead, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Get up."
Cheng Lisu didn't move.
"Again, get up."
Cheng Lisu still hugged Xiao Jue's leg and blinked at him, "Unless you promise me not to hand me over to the Song family."
"Aren't you tired of staying in the guardhouse and want to go to Liangzhou City?"
"I don't want to anymore!"
The young man's voice was light, "That's Yuan Baozhen, the censor of the censor."
"Uncle, you are still General Feng Yun Xiao Huaijin!"
"Yuan Baozhen has seen you and knew that you avoided seeing you in Liangzhou. How about suing the Song family that you are being neglected?"
Cheng Lisu replied immediately, "How could he have met me? I have never met him before, and my parents couldn't hide it in time for me. If he did, he wouldn't recommend me to Lord Song. Miss Song and I are completely unsuitable at first glance!"
"Really," Xiao Jue's eyes moved slightly, looking at the grief-stricken young man, "Going must go, since he hasn't seen you, it's not impossible."
Cheng Lisu widened his eyes.
"Find someone to replace you and go to the banquet."
Cheng Lisu was stunned for a while, and finally understood after a long while. He stopped howling now, and stopped crying while hugging Xiao Jue's leg. He stood up and slapped, "Wonderful! What my uncle said is very true, anyway, he didn't. If you've seen me, just find someone to replace it!"
"Do you have a choice?"
Cheng Lisu looked at him, "I..."
"There doesn't seem to be a young man of your age and stature in Liangzhou Weili." Xiao Jue said, "If it's too far behind, it will be discovered."
In the barracks of the entire Liangzhou Guard Station, most of them were men of five or three thick men, even if they were younger, they were more sturdy and dark. Cheng Lisu was a young master from Shuojing. He was raised with gold and jade, with fine skin and tender meat. He looked different from the recruits in the barracks.
"If you can't find it, you'd better do it yourself." Xiao Jue said nonchalantly.
"Who said I couldn't find it!" Cheng Lisu was anxious, and an idea came to his mind, "My eldest brother, my eldest brother is similar to me!"
Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows, noncommittal: "He Yan?"
"Yes, it's my eldest brother. My eldest brother is about the same age as me, has a similar body, and is smart. He will definitely be able to adapt to changes and deal with Yuan Baozhen well. Yuan Baozhen can take me away, but he may not be able to take my eldest brother."
Cheng Lisu is very new to He Yan. In his opinion, He Yan is the most omnipotent person except his uncle. What others can't do, He Yan will definitely be able to do it.
Seeing that Xiao Jue didn't say anything, Cheng Lisu felt tight in his heart, only that He Yan went to fight with Xiao Jue last night, and at this moment Xiao Jue was still angering He Yan over the matter. He may not necessarily want to see He Yan, but just as he was thinking about how to persuade Xiao Jue, he saw his young uncle Yihe's scroll in his hand, and said indifferently, "Okay."
Cheng Lisu's words of persuasion were stuck in his throat, and he only had time to say "ah"
Xiao Jue looked at him, "If you can persuade your elder brother, let him go instead of you."
…
After the practice in the afternoon, when He Yan was sitting outside the martial arts arena to rest, Huang Xiong and a few people came over. He didn't say anything else. He first gave He Yan a piece of silver that Shen Han had sent last night, and then asked He Yan where the Eighteen Immortals of the altar went.
"I remember that you took it away in the end," Huang Xiong asked, "I went to find a few empty wine jars today, and the brothers each shared a little, what do you think?"
"I think it's good," He Yan said, "It's just that we may have to wait for the next time when the flags for the flag come down."
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Ba was a little impatient, suddenly understood something, and looked at He Yan: "You, you shouldn't be... drink up."
Facing the glowing eyes of everyone, He Yan nodded and said, "I'm really sorry, I drank it all up if I wasn't careful."
"He Yan!" Wang Ba said loudly, "You are going too far! That's the brilliance of our team. You have drunk it all yourself, and the mountain bandits are not as domineering as you!" He rolled up his sleeves, thinking that he was beating He Yan. Halfway through, I remembered that the person in front of me could not be beaten by myself, neither if I did it, nor if I didn't, it was very embarrassing for a while.
Jiang Jiao and Shitou didn't think there was anything. The two of them were not greedy for drinks, and they were not very interested in wine, so they didn't say anything. Although Huang Xiong was not as excited as Wang Ba, his eyes were full of accusations.
On weekdays, He Yandang would feel sorry for her actions, but the bad news in the past few days made her a little numb. Really unable to cope with the thoughts of these people in front of him, he sat here without saying a word.
Seeing her silent and dejected appearance, several people looked at each other in dismay. Thinking that not entering the forward camp this time was really a big blow to He Yan. Last night, he used wine to drown his sorrows, but he is still so depressed today. But on second thought, his sorrow was really worth it. Others were only willing to spend a few handfuls of yellow rice wine, but he used a few hundred taels of silver.
Just when several people didn't know what to do, someone's voice broke the silence.
"Brother He... Brother He, so you are here!" Cheng Lisu ran over out of breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he had come all the way.
He Yan saw him for the second time within a day. But as soon as I saw him, I remembered that I offended Xiao Jue last night, and I felt a headache. He Yan raised his head and asked wearily, "Why are you here?"
"I came to you to discuss something important." Cheng Lisu looked at the people around him, pulled up He Yan and said, "This is not the place to talk, Brother He, come with me."
He is Xiao Jue's nephew, so no one else dared to say anything. Even if the account of the Eighteen Immortals was not settled, he could only watch Cheng Lisu pull He Yan away, and stay on the spot with big eyes and small eyes. .
He Yan was pulled by Cheng Lisu to trot all the way, and actually ran to the place where Cheng Lisu lived. He Yan didn't want to go in when he came here, knowing that Cheng Lisu's next door was Xiao Jue. If he went in, it would be embarrassing to meet each other if they met.
Cheng Lisu's brain was finally wise again. Seeing He Yan's expression of embarrassment, standing still and unwilling to move, he said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, my uncle has gone out, there is no one here!"
He Yan heard the words and walked in with him.
As soon as he entered, Cheng Lisu looked around for a while, and then closed the doors and windows, as if to discuss murder and arson. Seeing him like this, He Yan was speechless for a while.
"You come to me, don't you want to talk about your uncle again?" He Yan greeted in advance, "Brother Cheng, thank you for your concern, but I really don't want to hear about him recently." Please leave her a note too. face it.
As soon as she finished saying this, she felt someone press her shoulder, Cheng Lisu turned him around, grabbed her hand and held it tightly against her chest.
He Yan almost subconsciously punched the man into the air.
She resisted her urge to beat people. Although she got along with men a lot, she mostly hooked her shoulders on their backs. It was awkward to interlock her fingers like this.
However, the young boy in front of him had a clear face, and he didn't feel that his actions caused any misunderstanding, but in his eyes, there was nothing to hide from the two men who were like this.
"Big brother, please save the younger brother!" Cheng Lisu said tragically.
"...What happened to you?" He Yan asked.
"Promise me to help my younger brother first, otherwise, eldest brother, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to see my younger brother in the future!"
"It's so serious?" He Yan asked, but he didn't take it seriously. Cheng Lisu, a child, always likes to exaggerate, and he can talk about even the smallest things. Besides, if something goes wrong, his uncle is Xiao Jue, so he will naturally help He intends. "You tell me what's going on first, and I can help you find a way."
"Brother, can you still remember what I said to you, that I escaped from the marriage. My family wants to marry me, but I really don't want to, so I begged my uncle to bring me to Liangzhou." Cheng Lisu said here, one faction Sadly, "Now my family still doesn't let me go. The colleague of the old man they picked for me has come to Liangzhou and sent a message to my uncle, asking my uncle to go to the banquet with me. God, I am a boy with no official position and no reputation, why is my name written on the post. It is clearly trying to figure me out, trying to take me away when I am there!"
What he said was like forcibly robbing people's women, and he almost went to the yamen door to beat drums and complain about injustice.
"That's not enough," He Yan said, "if you don't want to leave, your uncle will naturally protect you. Can they force you to take you away in front of your uncle?"
Cheng Lisu couldn't say that Xiao Jue might really watch someone take him away, and maybe he would be happy to throw away his oil bottle. He coughed lightly and said, "Brother, you also know that my mother has been very critical of my uncle. If he came forward for me, wouldn't he put himself in injustice again. My mother will hate him to death, I I don't want to cause trouble for him!"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Lisu would actually protect his uncle so much, He Yan sighed in his heart, it seems that this is the blood and blood relationship, and it can't be changed no matter what.
"Then what do you want from me?" she asked. "Let me beat that lord away for you? Beating an official is against the law."
"Where did you think, big brother!" Cheng Lisu let go of her hand, "I'm not that kind of rude person. I think that the adult has never seen me before, and doesn't know what I look like. What does it look like? Big brother, we are about the same age, we are both elegant and handsome, and we have similar stature. You might as well go to the banquet instead of me. If the adult wants his subordinates to catch me, with your skills, big brother, you can easily escape. So they can't catch me, it's their problem, they can't blame my uncle."
"I'll take your place?" He Yan said, "No, no." She turned around and wanted to leave, feeling a sense of resistance in her heart. It's a stand-in again. In her last life, she was a stand-in for He Rufei all her life. Now that she can use her name in an open and honest manner, why did she come to be a stand-in for another person
God, this is deliberately trying to get along with her!
"Big Brother—" Cheng Lisu cried out in a heart-wrenching voice, "You really can't die without help! Think about it, you go to a banquet with your uncle, stay with your uncle, face each other day and night, you do better, uncle Seeing that you are so considerate and thoughtful, it will definitely change your mind. Besides, you are standing up for his nephew, and your uncle is grateful to you, maybe... Maybe he will let you go to the Nine Banners Camp!"
He Yan: "..."
Cheng Lisu really wanted to say nothing in order not to go to the banquet. Xiao Jue is not a person who can buy and sell favors. Maybe she followed Xiao Jue day and night, but instead aroused Xiao Jue's anger, and if there was anything wrong, she would really be struck out.
Seeing that her attitude was resolute and unwilling to help, Cheng Lisu collapsed to the ground, pointed one finger at the top of his head, and scolded and howled: "Heaven, why are you doing this to me! Yuan Baozhen, what kind of hatred did I have with you in my last life, what do you want? Pushing me into the fire pit over and over again!"
He Yan was about to go out, but he had already reached the door. Hearing the words, he paused and looked back: "You just said... Yuan Baozhen?"
"Yeah," Cheng Lisu looked at her and replied subconsciously, "The lord who made me betrothed is Yuan Baozhen, the current censor."
He Yan's brows twitched, and after a while, she walked quickly to Cheng Lisu and stretched out a hand to the slumped teenager.
"Stop howling, aren't you just going to the banquet? I'll help you."
- off topic -
Uncle is really good at routines hahaha
