Rebirth of a Star General

Xiangxiang didn't know when, and ran back secretly, standing under the tree, watching them quietly.

He Yan looked at him blankly: "Is what you said true?"

"I see that your swordsmanship has improved a lot, why is it still the same as before," he said lazily: "You are stupid and short."

This sentence seems to have pulled He Yan into the past, and the embarrassment and embarrassment just now dissipated a lot without knowing it.

There seemed to be a warm enthusiasm in her heart, and all the unease turned to ashes at this moment. She raised her head and couldn't hide her smile, "But you are the same as you were back then."

Xiao Jue coughed lightly and turned his head. He Yan was so excited that he refused to let him go, clutching his sleeve and not letting go, he turned his head and asked, "You taught me my swordsmanship. But I was still dressed as a man back then, why did you take so much care of me? Did you already love me at that time?"

This is really shameless, Xiao Jue sneered: "I'm not breaking my sleeves."

"But you look like a broken sleeve." He Yan suddenly said, "No wonder Yan Nanguang always looked down on me at that time, probably because he thought I was some kind of male fox, and tarnished the only genius who could be regarded as his opponent. ."

Xiao Jue stared at her incredulously, "Aren't you sad now?"

"I wasn't sad at all." He Yan said stubbornly.

"You were about to cry just now." He raised his eyebrows: "So reluctant to let me go?"

He Yan couldn't bear to hang on his face, and retorted: "How could I cry? You are wrong. I naturally hate you. There is friendship between us, anyway."

"Just a classmate friendship?"

He Yan ignored him, approached him and said, "Don't digress, tell me first, why did you point me to swordsmanship when I was in the Xianchang Pavilion? I, Xiao Huaijin, are you really a broken sleeve?"

Xiao Jue's face darkened, and he reprimanded, "Nonsense."

"Then tell me why."

He Yan wanted to ask him about this for a long time. At that time, he and Xiao Jue didn't actually have much friendship, but Xiao Jue was willing to give careful guidance on swordsmanship for the last night in a Xianchang Pavilion. Don't blame Yan Hexiang. No way, even she herself doesn't quite understand it.

Xiao Jue smiled, "You still remember that when you first entered the Xianchang Pavilion, the winter solstice, the Dongshan hunting ground in the capital, competed."

He Yan was stunned: "I remember, what's wrong?"

She still remembered that it was at that time that she saw Shen Muxue for the first time in her previous life. The deserted Miss Shen family and the handsome and jade-like Second Young Master Xiao stood together, even from the perspective of this life, they were a match made in heaven.

He Yan muttered: "At that time, when His Majesty came to the hunting ground in person, all the students of Xianchang Hall had to enter the competition. The student who got the most prey would be rewarded, and the students who didn't catch the prey would have no food. Who the hell came up with the idea? , It's freezing cold, it's normal to not catch prey, how can you be harsh on students' meals and make others hungry!"

Speaking of this matter, she is now resentful for no other reason, because He Yan at that time was the one who didn't hunt the prey and was hungry.

Xiao Jue chuckled and said, "Isn't that your choice?"

"what?"

"Obviously, the rabbit has already been hunted, but he released it." He turned his head and looked at He Yan, "Isn't it your choice?"

He Yan was stunned, and stammered and asked, "You... how do you know?"

"Because," Xiao Jue curled her lips, "I let that rabbit go."

At that time, it was winter in Shuojing, and the hunting grounds were all covered with snow. At that time, there was no accident in the Xiao family, and Xu Jingfu was not enough to cover the sky with one hand. Emperor Wenxuan came to Dongshan on a whim to watch the Xianchang Hall student competition. hunting.

Originally, it was just a competition in the school hall. Because of the arrival of the Son of Heaven, more splendor must be added. And in order to make the young people work harder, don't lose the face of Xianchang Hall. I don't know which genius gentleman in the academy came up with harsh rules. Those who can't hunt their prey have no food today.

He Yan scolded the person who came up with this idea in his heart.

She was not very good at martial arts, and her equestrian and archery skills were even worse. There is really no advantage to be with these teenagers. There is no doubt that when he entered the hunting grounds, he was elated and different from his classmates, and He Yan was extremely helpless.

Xiao Jue at that time was undoubtedly the most eye-catching of all the teenagers. The horses are sable and fur, and Yan Hua is beautiful. However, after a short while, behind the horses, a long string of prey was tied.

Lin Shuanghe, as a weak young master who can't lift his hands and shoulders, followed Xiao Jue every step of the way and asked for a lot of benefits. It doesn't matter if there are prey or not. Anyway, in the end, if you divide one or two of Xiao Jue's prey, it will be enough to cross the line. .

The two were walking in the woods of the hunting grounds when they suddenly saw not far away, a gray feathered arrow flew from the slanting thorn, and hit a stone without any mistake.

The two paused.

Soon, a short figure ran out of the woods. She ran to the stone and pulled out the arrow forcefully. After looking at it, she simply sat on the ground, sighed, and said to herself: "Hunting is difficult, it is difficult Go to the sky!"

Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe: "..."

They all recognized that the one who was wearing a mask and sighing was the first-to-last dear young Master He from the Xianchang Pavilion.

Lin Shuanghe had "progressed together" with He Yan before, and he already felt some sympathy for He Yan. Seeing this, he said, "My brother He is too pitiful."

Xiao Jue watched coldly and was unmoved. In his opinion, the eldest young master of the He family was often mentally ill.

"Look at his horse, he doesn't have a single prey. When he goes back, he won't have any food to eat, so he will starve. In this cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, it's hard to feel hungry." Lin Shuanghe, after all, was the heart of the doctor's parents, and sent back his compassion, "How about you? How about we give him a badger so he doesn't go empty-handed?"

Xiao Jue sneered: "You go by yourself."

Lin Shuanghe really walked up to Xiao Jue's horse and picked from the prey tied to the back of the horse, but only halfway through the selection, he suddenly woke up and said, "No, He Rufei can't do anything, but he has a temper. But it is extremely stubborn, and if you give it to him like this, most of the time he will not agree, and will refuse righteously."

Just as he proposed to let He Rufei take the last-to-last exam, so that he could win the second-to-last one, this dear man is very principled, and it is difficult to impress him with real money. Lin Shuanghe thought that he had a good eye for people, and He Rufei would probably not accept such straightforward help.

"This way," Lin Shuanghe had an idea, "Huaijin, your archery skills are not very good. Later, you shoot a rabbit and let He Rufei pass by. The injured rabbit can't run fast. If he can't hit all of the shots, he may have a real brain problem."

"What's the matter with me?" The young Xiao Jue frowned, "Don't go."

"Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level Buddha. Look at this kid, it's so pitiful, everyone is a classmate, but it's a good thing... Huai Jin, Huai Jin?"

Lin Shuanghe is especially patient when it comes to trivial matters, and he knows that Xiao Jue is the most impatient person. Sure enough, after babbling on for a while, Xiao Jue was so annoyed that he picked up the bow and arrow on the horse's back and moved towards him. In one direction, he "swish" an arrow.

From the bushes, a gray hare jumped out.

The arrow was very lucky, and it didn't hit the hare, it was almost rubbing one of its legs. So the rabbit's movements slowed down, but the arrow fell into the bushes and no one found it.

He Yan was leaning on the stone just now and sighing, and suddenly saw a hare rushing out of the forest. He was startled at first, then became happy, grabbed the bow and arrow and followed him without saying a word. This hare didn't know what was going on, and its movements were much slower than the previous ones. He Yan guessed that it might be because the winter was too cold, and even the rabbits became less sensitive, but this is also a good thing. No, can a slow-running rabbit still fly?

Lin Shuanghe praised Xiao Jue in a low voice: "Wonderful, Huaijin, your help can be said to be invisible and seamless. This kid must think he has picked up a big bargain. Let's go and have a look." He pulled his face. The unwilling Xiao Jue secretly followed behind He Yan.

The rabbit ran, and it seemed that the strength was not enough, and it became more and more slow. He Yan thought for a while, then put away the bow and arrow and carried it behind his back. He felt that even if the bow and arrow were not used, the rabbit would probably not be able to run by himself, so he could catch it with his bare hands. In the past, he waited for the rabbit, and now he waits for the rabbit to faint. He Yan applauds himself in his heart, but he still has time to watch the rabbit carefully.

This rabbit was born very thin. Maybe it would be hungry in winter. It seemed that even if it was fried, it would have no meat. She was thinking about it, wondering if the hunted prey could be distributed to the students, but this Taking a rabbit back to He's house was not enough for the whole family to get a piece of meat.

After a while, the rabbit stopped, and opened a bush to reveal a hole. He Yan's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the rabbit's ear before it got in, and said to himself, "It is said that there are three caves for cunning rabbits, the ancients are sincere. Don't bully me." At this moment, something seemed to be moving at the entrance of the hole. He Yan held the rabbit in one hand and ripped open the grass with the other curiously, and locked three small furry dumplings in the small hole. , As if three Lantern Festivals, huddled together.

It was three bunnies.

He Yan was stunned for a while, looked at the gray rabbit in his hand that was constantly kicking and struggling, and suddenly realized that this was a female rabbit, and all the people in the hole were her cubs.

He Yan fell silent.

Lin Shuanghe pulled Xiao Jue to watch the play from a distance, and was pleasantly surprised when he saw this: "He Rufei is lucky, he actually met the rabbit's nest, and this nest of rabbits is handed over, I don't think he needs to be the last one this time. One, at least it's the second to last. But...why is he holding the rabbit in a daze?"

The rabbit under her hand was beating silently. He Yan looked at the three sesame yuanxiao in the hole. After a while, she sighed and took out a small white bottle from her bosom.

"He he he... what is he doing?" Lin Shuanghe was surprised.

The young man named He Rufei was holding the rabbit's ear to give him medicine, but he even pulled a section from his robe to bandage the rabbit's leg that was scratched by the arrow earlier. While bandaging, she said: "Forget it, who told you to meet me, I am a good person, and I can't do things that separate other people's mother and child, so I'll let you all."

She complained incessantly, "Bunts, you have to remember, because of you, I am going to be hungry today."

He Yan moved quickly, but after a short while, he wrapped the bandage, put the gray rabbit in his hand at the entrance of the hole, released his hand, the rabbit was free, and scurried back into the hole with a "swoosh".

"Don't even say thank you?" He Yan sighed, "It's really going downhill." Even though she said that, she still spread out the stones near the entrance of the cave, so as not to be discovered by other beasts.

Lin Shuanghe was dumbfounded, "Is He Rufei's brain okay? Is he here to hunt or release? Now that he is merciful, why is he like the girl's family? Does he sympathize with this rabbit?" He turned to look at Xiao Jue, "Huai Jin, look..."

Xiao Jue's eyes fell on the boy wearing the mask, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered something from his childhood.

That is, before he went down the mountain, he practiced martial arts with the masters on the mountain. The master was not as strict as Xianchang Pavilion.

When he was on the mountain, there was a time when he tried his horse bowing skills. At that time, Xiao Jue caught a deer.

This deer was very fat, and when it ran away, it was not as light and quick as other deer. He grabbed the deer, and when he was about to raise his knife, the deer knelt down to him.

This is a pregnant doe.

At that time, at the age of twelve or thirteen, he was not as cold and ruthless as he was later. Seeing this scene, it was inevitable that he would feel compassion.

The master stood by the waterfall, looked at him and said indifferently: "Don't be soft-hearted."

The young man stood there and looked at the doe with tears in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he knelt down and removed the ropes for the doe in front of the master, watching it escape into the jungle.

The master wasn't angry, just looked at him and said, "You know what you're doing. You shouldn't be soft-hearted."

"I just want to protect what I want to protect." The young man in white robe was like snow, calmly replied.

He was sentenced to three months for breaking the line in the mountains.

Xiao Jue didn't regret it. When he was young, he simply thought that he didn't want the doe to die, but now that he saw He Rufei here, he carefully bandaged the wound of a hare. This is not the kindness of a woman. This is not hypocrisy, he suddenly understood what he wanted to protect back then.

Heart of pity.

A person wants to be strong in order to protect the person he wants to protect. If you lose your heart in order to become stronger, it is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse.

"Huai Jin, I think this He Rufei really has a problem with his brain. If he wasn't a man, he could be my 'sister'..." Lin Shuanghe was still chattering, but the white-robed boy After being stunned for a moment, he lowered his head and pulled the corner of his mouth, smiling to himself.

On that day, He Rufei really didn't find anything, and he was the only teenager in the Xianchang Pavilion who didn't catch any prey. Also on the second day from that day, Xiao Jue got up at night and walked to the courtyard behind the bamboo forest to see the clumsy boy wearing a mask "studying hard". Evil fate".

He Yan was stunned when he heard it. He never expected that he and Xiao Jue would have such an unknown past. Xiao Jue's arrows were hidden at that time. She didn't realize that the rabbit with injured legs and feet was done by Xiao Jue, but she saw that this rabbit was pitiful and gave birth to a heart of sympathy. She did not expect that it was here that moved Xiao. Jue.

"Are you moved by my kindness?" He Yan fought a cold war, which sounded a bit goosebumps.

Xiao Jue seemed speechless, "It's not kind."

only……

It's just that Xiao Jue at that time saw the shadow of his past in "He Rufei".

He Yan became happy, "I see, so when you were a classmate, you already paid attention to me? Then why do you pretend to be indifferent."

Once this person starts to be heartless, it is really unbearable. Xiao Jue turned away: "It's not early, you haven't gone home yet, your father and brother should be anxious."

"That's true." He Yan regained his senses, and seeing that it was dark now, he guessed that He Sui and He Yunsheng should have arrived home at this time, and maybe they were looking for their whereabouts again. Afraid that they would be in a hurry, He Yan said, "Then let's go back first?"

Xiao Jue whistled, and Lu Er ran out of the woods and stopped in front of Xiao Jue. He Yan also got on Xiangxiang's horse, and the two trot down the mountain together. He Yan rode on a horse and hurried, and gradually came back to his senses and said, "So Xiao Jue, you asked Chiwu to ask me to fetch a sword today, just to test me? You have been following me, haven't you?"

There was no guilt on the man's face, and he replied slowly, "This matter is unbelievable, of course we need to confirm it."

"You just wanted to force me out of the sword, but you actually went around in such a big circle." He Yan thought for a while, "But what happened to that Master Lu Daichuan? When I went to his other garden, he seemed to know something, and he said I already have a sword, I can't have another sword. Did you tell him about it?"

"No." Xiao Jue's eyes moved slightly, "Apart from you and me, no one else knows about this."

"That……"

"Even if you know anything, it's not surprising. He's my master."

He Yan was surprised: "Master?"

"I have many masters, and he's just one of them. It's not unusual to see your origin, but he's an outsider. Even if he does, it won't be too much trouble. You don't need to worry about it."

"It's not a matter of worrying about it," He Yan didn't know what to say for a while, "This person is your master, you should have informed me in advance, fortunately I didn't do anything rash, if..."

Xiao Jue glanced at her, saw her uneasy look, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, even if you do something, no one will dare to trouble you with me."

He Yan snorted, "You mean I can walk sideways in Shuojing now?"

"Do whatever you want."
