Rebirth of a Star General

The dungeon was very damp, with blood and stains left on the ground. He Xinying sat in the corner hugging her knees, looking at the black bugs crawling under the hay, she couldn't help but shivered.

It's too cold here, and no one pays attention to her. She grew up petite and grew up, when has she suffered such grievances. But the jailers here ignored her. He Rufei and Xu Zhiheng were not locked up with her. She didn't know where they were, and at first, she didn't know what happened.

It wasn't until the jailers here started chatting about what happened on the Tianxing Platform today that He Xinying recalled what Liu Er had said to her before she was arrested, and slowly came back to it.

Her eldest sister who died is the real General Feihong. Over the years, He Rufei and He Yan have been using each other's identities for each other, but after He Yan entered Beijing, He Rufei pretended to take the merits and drowned He Yan in the Xu family's pond in order to avoid future troubles.

No wonder, no wonder that every time she passed by the pond in the yard, she always felt cold all over. No wonder Xu Zhiheng wanted to rummage around He Yan's relics in the yard where He Yan used to live.

Xu Zhiheng...does he know about this too? Or, he was also a member of the executioner in this matter. He Xinying felt cold all over.

It was General Feng Yun Xiao Huaijin who uncovered the truth. When he was in Yuhua Temple, when his mother saw Xiao Huaijin, she took the initiative to speak up. Thinking of Mrs. He Er, He Xinying felt another burst of heartache.

Did Mrs. He Er also know about this from beginning to end? When the eldest uncle made such a request, didn't the father say anything to stop it? He Rufei ordered He Yan to be drowned. Did his father understand but did not speak up, or did he not know at all? He Xinying hoped it was the latter, but in her heart, she felt that it was very likely the former.

She leaned against the wall weakly, feeling that looking back half her life, it seemed like a joke. He thought he loved his father, but it turned out to be a man who could ignore the relationship between flesh and blood for the sake of profit. He thought that the man who married the good man had hidden evil intentions. He thought that the eldest brother who was majestic and might bring blessing to the family, but he was a counterfeit who would take people's merits and pretend to be a fox and tiger. goods. In the end, the family is separated, the mother is gone, the eldest sister is long gone, she is alone here, full of desolation.

The crime of deceiving the king is a capital crime, and one will lose his head. He Xinying sobbed softly, that's all, she died when she died. Originally, in this world, she had nothing to cherish. After death, it is a good thing to be able to reunite with his family when he is under Jiuquan.

Just thinking about it, suddenly, someone's footsteps came. He Xinying looked up and saw a jailer walking behind a strange man.

The two walked to He Xinying's prison door. The jailer opened the door and said to He Xinying, "Miss He, please."

He Xinying was startled: "Where are you going?"

"Your Majesty is benevolent, I am grateful to General Feihong for his meritorious deeds in pacifying the Western Qiang, and he died of injustice. Miss He is the direct sister of General Feihong, and His Majesty is open to it. It is just that she will be demoted to a commoner in the future, and Miss He will be spared her life. From today onwards, Miss He will be No need to stay here."

It took He Xinying a while to understand what the jailer meant. She stood up slowly, walked out the door, and followed the two of them out of the prison.

It was dark outside, and she was wearing thin clothes, standing alone, and suddenly she was free, but she didn't know where to go next. The He family and the Xu family are gone, the world is so big that there is no place for her.

He Xinying bowed her head and smiled bitterly, and said to herself, "Where else can I go."

"Miss He." Someone spoke from behind.

He Xinying looked back and saw that it was the man who came with the jailer just now. He looked like a guard of some family, and only said to He Xinying: "If Miss He has nowhere to go, she can go somewhere to hide for now. ."

"Where?" He Xinying asked.

"Sister Ling studied in the Xianchang Hall when she was young. Wei Xuanzhang, the director of the Xianchang Hall, had a teacher-student friendship with Sister Ling. When I learned the truth, I felt sympathy for Sister Ling. If Miss He has nowhere to go for now, you can go to Mr. Wei first. At home. Mr. Wei lives in the academy for many years, and there is only his wife at home."

He Xinying was stunned.

After a while, she laughed self-deprecatingly: "It turns out that the eldest sister died, and she is still protecting me..."

"Please lead the way, sir," she said. Now that something happened to the Hexu family, you don't have to think about it, and you know that those relatives and friends were afraid of causing trouble and avoided them like snakes and scorpions. At this time, no one dared to take them in. She hadn't figured out what to do next, but first she had to find a place to sit down and figure out everything she didn't understand.

She really had nowhere else to go.

...

When He Xinying was taken out, Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei in prison didn't realize it.

The judging is held separately, so as not to collude to confess between the two. He Rufei can't see Xu Zhiheng, and Xu Zhiheng can't see He Rufei, but this is a good thing for the two of them. If they really want to keep them together, I'm afraid they will fight right now.

Xu Zhiheng hated He Rufei for dragging him down, and He Rufei hated Xu Zhiheng for being on the Tianxing Terrace, and couldn't wait to throw all the stigma on his head when something happened.

After all, because of the alliance of interests, it is as fragile as paper. As long as the wind blows, the rain falls, and there is no need to tear it, it will change beyond recognition.

He Rufei was sitting in the corner of the prison. Even at this time, he didn't give up, and was still thinking about a possible escape plan. Xu Xiang's people will definitely not sit idly by, and if they want to save Xu Jingfu, they may also be able to pull him. The worst may be Xu Jingfu abandoning the car to protect the coach, but he still has evidence of Xu Jingfu collaborating with the enemy and treason. How could Xu Jingfu want to leave him alone?

The Tianxingtai incident was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that the woman named He Yan would be so powerful, and he didn't expect that Xiao Jue already had so much evidence in his hands, forcing him step by step to a road that he couldn't turn back.

He Yan... Thinking of that woman, He Rufei's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.

What is the relationship between that woman and his dead cousin? He Rufei didn't know. He hadn't been able to see He Yan's heroic appearance on the battlefield, because when he returned to Shuojing, He Yan had quickly dressed up as a daughter. So all the legends about "General Feihong", he has only heard of it, but has not seen it with his own eyes. In his opinion, the dead He Yan and his cousin looked like a stronger woman than ordinary women.

Others said that General Feihong was extremely skilled, but he did not believe it. The reason for not believing is actually very simple, because he can't do it, he can't do it, and it's even more impossible for He Yan to do it as a woman.

Until the sword competition on the Tianxing Platform.

He Rufei closed his eyes, a feeling of dryness arose in his heart.

If the real He Yan was alive, would it be like this when he used a sword? But how could she be alive, she could never be alive!

In the quiet prison, there was the sound of footsteps. He Rufei was locked in the innermost room. He carefully listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer, until they stopped in front of him.

The jailer actually opened the cell door.

He Rufei raised his head and looked at the person coming.

The young man in black glanced over him coldly, as if he was stingy and wasting a moment on him. He was standing, He Rufei was sitting, invisible, as if to show that he was inferior.

"I don't know, what's the point of Dudu Xiao coming here?" He Rufei sneered, "Isn't he here to kill people?"

Before Xiao Jue could answer, he said again, "Actually, I don't understand, how did Dudu Xiao know about this?"

If it is said that on the other side of Qin mama, Xu Zhiheng leaked the rumors, but Xiao Jue guessed the reason immediately, and started to collect evidence long ago, even if He Rufei thought about it now, he couldn't understand it. After all, regardless of other things, if you tell others about "General Feihong is a woman", others will only think that he is talking nonsense.

Why does Xiao Jue know?

The young man looked at him indifferently and said coldly, "How do you think I knew?"

"I don't know," He Rufei stared at the person in front of him, and suddenly smiled, leaning against the wall, he said calmly, "I heard that you and my dead sister went to school together, let me Think about it, maybe you have an affair with her for a long time, and you are doing this to me now, is it because of my sister?" He snorted and his face became a little distorted, "Is there really someone in the world who likes me? That deviant little sister, what good is she, she doesn't look like a woman at all..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his chest and flew out suddenly, hitting his back against the stone wall, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Jue's kick did not stop, and He Rufei couldn't breathe after being kicked for a long time. The jailer had already received the news and retreated outside, turning a blind eye to the situation inside.

Also, if Xu Jingfu fell, no one in the court and the opposition would be able to stop Xiao Jue. At this juncture, no one dared to offend the right army governor.

He Rufei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Xiao Jue, and smiled slowly.

General Feng Yun, the Jade-faced Governor of the Great Wei Dynasty, is so mighty and heroic, just standing here makes people unable to look away, and no one can take his limelight. If it wasn't for He Yan who changed the fate of all people back then, maybe he would never have an intersection with Xiao Jue in his life.

But it happened.

"Why are you all so angry," He Rufei sneered: "Everyone is fighting for my sister, but what about me," his voice suddenly rose: "What about me! What about my life! Isn't it important? It should be Pay for her damn stupid decision! Why, I also have something I want to do, you think I really want to be this general?" His eyes were red, like a mad beast, about to shred everything, "Who wants to be this general? Ah, who wants to be!"

He Rufei has not lived in He Mansion since he could remember. He lives in the distant village of Zhuangzi, and he knows that he is not in good health, and he also knows that he and his cousin have exchanged identities. He couldn't go too far, and he couldn't be without people around him. Sometimes He Yuansheng and his wife would come to see him secretly, but they always left in a hurry.

The doctor asserted that he would not live to be a few years old, but he did not know whether it was because of his hard life, so he had to endure it year after year. Later, when he was sixteen years old, his body completely recovered. He thought that he could leave Zhuangzi, return to He's family, and become He Da Gongzi, but at that time, news came that He Yan was on the battlefield, and he could not come back for the time being.

He Rufei was forced to stay on Zhuangzi.

He also secretly prayed in his heart that He Yan would never die on the battlefield, not because of the deep love between brothers and sisters, nor because of his kind-heartedness, but because He Yan was bearing his identity. If He Yan died on the battlefield On, he, the big son of He, will never be able to return to the He family again.

Fortunately, He Yan came back.

Originally, during those many years, He Rufei didn't have much affection for He Yan, neither liking nor hating. Until the day when he returned to He's house, He Yan had just returned to the mansion and did not see him. The soldiers and horses outside surrounded the young lieutenant in the middle. She was wearing a mask, standing in the sun, she was open and hearty, and her sword was beautiful. Sharp, the steed is strong and docile, and although he can't see his face, his eyes are as bright as stars.

He Rufei's heart suddenly had a trace of resentment.

For so many years, he has been living a shady life on Zhuangzi. He thought that He Yan was the same as himself, but when he actually saw it, he realized that it was completely different. She used her identity to live such a happy life, why? She arbitrarily decided the fate of others, and then returned the fate that had been arranged to herself.

Why?

He Rufei's heart is very complicated. On the one hand, he hates to accept the fate that He Yan has chosen, such as being a military general, but on the other hand, when he stands in the Golden Palace, he accepts the emperor's reward, and the courtiers are either envious or jealous. When you look in your eyes, you will feel contentment in your heart.

But this kind of satisfaction always humiliated him, because He Rufei knew very well that praise and good name belonged to He Yan, not himself. Whenever he heard those people behind his back praising General Feihong's bravery and invincibility on the battlefield, his heart was extremely tormented. This torment eventually gave rise to anxiety, and the anxiety made him uneasy. Even if He Yan got married, he still did not solve this problem.

Just like he stole a beautiful gem, he was proud that he owned this gem, and he also accepted everyone's envious and longing eyes, but he was worried that the owner of this gem would be discovered one day instead of himself.

The evil thoughts grew bigger and bigger, until one day, he thought, it would be nice if He Yan died. As soon as this thought appeared, He Rufei realized that he had calmed down.

He found a way to understand the disease of determination.

Broken wings can only make General Feihong unable to fly into the sky, but Feihong is still Feihong. It is better to rip off the bird in the sky, drown it in water, and bury it in the soil. No one will find the trace of this bird again in the future. .

He finally calmed down.

But why, the peaceful days were not long before they were interrupted impatiently.

"Lie." The young man's voice was calm and his eyes were as cold as water, "You really want to be General Feihong, but you just don't dare to admit it."

As if being peeped into the secret deep in his heart, He Rufei suddenly raised his head: "I don't!"

"You have."

He Rufei gritted his teeth, the man's eyes were clear and indifferent, but his embarrassment was invisible. He clenched his fists and tried to stand up: "Tell me, is she He Yan?"

"If I say yes," the young man lowered his eyes, and the silver crown drew a cold light under the dark lights of the prison, "what should you do?"

"I don't believe it." He Rufei couldn't help shaking. He didn't know whether it was hatred or fear. He said, "I don't believe every word you said."

But in fact, he has some faith.

Those inexplicable coincidences were familiar with the terrain of the He family, the secrets in the study, the secrets of the exquisite box... and the "big brother" on the Tianxing platform.

The two of them were born at the same time on a night many years ago, so fate was forced, coincidental, and entangled together, like two intertwined vines, absorbing nutrients from each other. If he wants to live, he has to pull out the vine on his side. The so-called twins bring not dependence and trust, but betrayal and enemies.

He Yan lives in the sunshine, so he has to live in the shadows. If he wants to walk in front of people with integrity, he has to uproot the person in the original sunshine.

He did a good job... He Rufei laughed miserably.

At this moment, there was an inexplicable relief.

He didn't know whether he was jealous or resentful of He Yan, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that what he hated was actually the feeling of being a substitute. Others are looking at you, but they are looking at another person. When someone else is thinking of you, they are also thinking of another person. How ridiculous, how sad.

The shadow killed the master, but the shadow is still the shadow. In his life with He Yan, whether he became He Yan's stand-in or He Yan became his stand-in, no one can say clearly. Is he He Rufei or He Yan? No one could answer him.

What if he and He Yan didn't exchange identities at the beginning?

If from the beginning, he was the eldest son of the He family, and each chose his own path, what would he look like now?

He Rufei gradually began to laugh, laughing louder and louder. At the end of the laugh, he burst into tears. He was pushed forward involuntarily all his life, and perhaps he could only be freed at the last moment of his life, but what was left to "He Rufei" was also a notoriety that deceived the world.

"Xiao Huaijin," he looked up at the person in front of him, "I just assumed she was He Yan, you found me at all costs, didn't you just want to stand up for her? You want my life, okay, take it Let's go," he opened his hands and looked like he was going to catch it, "in the end, this is just a grudge between me and her, what's it to do with you?"

Xiao Jue walked up to him, looked at him quietly, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck. The young man's fingers were white, but he seemed to be able to crush his bones alive.

He Rufei was suffocated by the stranglehold, staring at the other party, trying to squeeze out a sneer.

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Jue asked slowly.

His dark pupils stared at He Rufei, like a dark storm, and he said word by word: "This is the first time in my life that I, Xiao Jue coaxed the rescued girl, and finally was drowned by you all. What am I doing?"

He Rufei struggled desperately, but the hand tightened and tightened. His eyes rolled up and he kicked his legs. A great fear emerged in his heart. He knew that he was going to die by this man's hands.

But the next moment, the hand holding his throat suddenly loosened, He Rufei hugged his neck, and the screen coughed.

"I won't kill you." Xiao Jue stood up, turned his back to him, and said coldly, "Because you don't deserve it."

After saying that, he left He Rufei, who was still clutching his throat and gasping for breath, and strode away.

...

In the early morning, when He Yan woke up, the snow had stopped outside.

Qingmei called Chiwu in the yard: "Chiwu guard, don't add firewood, the fire is too big, and the medicine is not well cooked."

Chiwu silently picked out a few pieces of wood with iron tongs.

After all, Lin Shuanghe was a man, so it was not good to stay in the He family all the time, and the He family really didn't have any extra room for him to live in. This morning's medicine was fried by Qingmei himself. He Yunsheng and He Sui went out early in the morning. Qingmei fanned the fire with a fan. She was always lively and a little dull.

It was the same for He Yan and Fan Cheng at the time. After they came back, they became seriously ill. Although He Sui also hired a doctor and the doctor prescribed medicine, He Yan drank it in bowls, and his body did not improve, but instead became more and more serious. Worse. At that time, Qingmei thought that He Yan might not survive, but after a miraculous improvement, she still thought that maybe the lady had a spirit in heaven. Now He Yan has fallen ill again.

Although the white-clothed holy hand Doctor Lin said that there was no serious problem, Qingmei was always a little worried.

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Chiwu thought for a while, and comforted: "Don't worry, Young Master Lin said it's fine, Miss He will be fine."

"More than that," Qingmei sighed, "When I went to change the water in the house in the morning, I saw that the girl was crying in her dreams. It was the same at the beginning. If the girl hadn't been hurt, how could this happen? Yesterday Tianxingtai Didn't the girl just have a sword comparison with that General Feihong? Why is it like this? Chiwu Guard, do you know what happened?"

Chiu shook his head. Regarding He Yan, there are too many incomprehensible doubts. But Xiao Jue didn't let them check, and they naturally wouldn't check it deliberately.

"Master and Young Master were also very worried yesterday, I really hope the girl will get better soon." Qingmei said.

The voices of the two of them were not deliberately lowered. He Yan's ears were so powerful that he heard their conversation clearly in his ears. She was stunned for a while, the woman in the dream had completely disappeared from her sight, the stove in the room was booming, and there was a small white porcelain bowl next to the desk, and the small bowl was full of candied fruit.

The candied fruit was bright red and sweet, she slowly reached out, picked up one in her hand, and watched it for a while before putting it in her mouth.

Sweet makes one's mouth bitter.

Qingmei pushed the door open with the medicine in her hand. Seeing that He Yan was awake, she was stunned at first, and then smiled happily: "The girl is awake, what's wrong with her body?"

"fine."

"That's good." Qingmei put the medicine bowl on the desk, saw the small bowl with candied fruit next to it, and smiled: "This is what Dudu Xiao asked the slaves to put here. She said that the medicine that Doctor Lin boiled was bitter, girl. After drinking the medicine, remember to keep two capsules in your mouth."

He Yan lowered his head and smiled: "Okay."

Qingmei felt that her girl was a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange, so she moved a stool and sat in front of the collapse, and told He Yan not to catch a cold.

Sunlight came in from the window, and the house was inexplicably lively. He Yan looked out the window, looked at it, lowered his head, and covered the tears in his eyes.

everything is over.
