Rebirth of a Star General

Don't drink!

Her voice was like a sharp sword, with blood-like sternness, interrupting the joy of the banquet.

It was at this time that the accident happened.

Standing beside Xiao Jue, Yingyue was holding a jug in her hand. She had just poured the wine, and she had not had time to take it back. He Yan's voice just fell, as if he got some signal, the shape of a dagger appeared in the blink of an eye under the pot of wine, and without hesitation, stabbed Xiao Jue straight.

The young man's expression was calm, and he didn't see the slightest panic. The jade in his hand flew straight away, collided with the head of the dagger in the air, smashed into pieces, and stopped the tip of the knife that was rushing towards him.

In an instant, there was a sound of wind all around. The beautiful women who just sang and danced did not all retreat, they were separated from left and right, and then they all rushed towards Xiao Jue. This was actually a well-planned murder.

Uncle! He Yan called, but when he saw the young man slap the table, the long sword fell into his hands, and was surrounded by a dozen people, he only coldly instructed him, Stay away!

Sun Xiangfu seemed to be stunned by this sudden change, so frightened that he hugged his head and hid under the long table, and he didn't forget to shout, Someone, come here—

He Yan was paying attention to the guard behind Yuan Baozhen. She thought that since this person was from He Rufei, she was afraid that he had a purpose behind Yuan Baozhen. The wine, never thought that the women around were actually assassins. Yuan Baozhen was guarded by the guards behind him and took a few steps back, looking flustered.

The guard didn't make a move.

Could it be a coincidence that today's assassins are? He Yan thought so in his heart, and when he looked at Xiao Jue who was surrounded by him, he almost got blown up.

The assassins were all women, whether they were dancing just now, or playing the zither, all of them were light-weight, gentle and gentle, but venomous when they attacked. Hidden arrows in the sleeves, while the sleeves fluttered, those hidden weapons flew towards Xiao Jue.

In the big night banquet, only Xiao Jue took one to ten. Whether He Yan was on the battlefield in his previous life, or the competition in the martial arts field in this life, they are all open and upright. Where have he seen such a slanderous and dirty method, he was filled with righteous indignation for a while, and when he saw the knife used to cut roasted venison on the table, he He grabbed it and rushed into the crowd.

Uncle, let me help you!

Halfway through He Yan's words, he suddenly remembered that he was now Cheng Lisu, how could the waste boy in Shuojing be able to master martial arts? I was afraid that she would not be able to show off her martial arts openly. As she thought about it, she shouted, How come these people's sleeves are so long? I can't even see you! Swipe, the water sleeves snapped.

The water sleeves turned into short sleeves in an instant, and then the hidden weapon was used, and the action became obvious. He Yan just shouted and spun around in the crowd. She was light and slippery like a loach. Everyone wanted to catch her, but they couldn't. But seeing the boy screaming and scolding, actually made the scene a little funny.

Xiao Jue swung away the knife of the woman in front of him with a sword, turned his head and glanced at her.

He Yan was still shouting, Help me, kill me! He blocked the darts that rushed in front of him, and kicked the woman next to him in the face.

Xiao Jue's mouth twitched.

The target of those singers was Xiao Jue, and all the secret weapons were aimed at Xiao Jue, and they suddenly broke into such a young man, and they were all disrupted. Yingyue's face was ashen, her fingers clasped together, and she said hatefully, Damn! He slashed straight at He Yan's Tianling Gai.

He Yan shouted Aah and hid behind Xiao Jue, while shouting Uncle save me, she was surprised.

These ten or so women, all of them are extraordinary, and they cannot be mastered overnight. These methods, on the contrary, are like dead men who are specially trained to kill.

Who exactly did Xiao Jue offend? To use such means to kill him?

Among this group of women, Yinyue has the most powerful means, but it is not the highest. In fact, there are many hidden weapons in her hands, such as jujube arrows, plum blossom needles, Emei thorns, iron lotus flowers... He Yan does not know how to put them in her sleeves. So many hidden weapons. However, Xiao Jue didn't seem to want this person's life, and the tip of the sword avoided the key point.

He Yan knew that when he was young, he had excellent swordsmanship and outstanding skills. Now that he has reunited after a long absence, it was the first time he saw him make a move. It was such a scene. The assassin had no way to get close, all of them were injured by the Yinqiu Sword and fell to the ground, but when he pulled Yingyue's sleeve and turned his arm, Yingyue was pulled forward, and the next moment, the tip of his sword pointed directly at Yingyue's throat .

The young man's voice was low, as if it was more melodious than the sound of the piano just now, with undisguised killing intent, fierce and threatening.

Who sent you here?

He Yan couldn't help but look at the guards behind Yuan Baozhen.

The guard was in front of Yuan Baozhen, so the face that was hidden in the dark just now appeared. His expression was also very flustered, as if he didn't expect this to happen, and he couldn't see any clues. However, He Yan saw that his index finger was slowly bent into a semicircle.

No one would pay attention to a guard at such a time. The movement of that finger was extremely small. If He Yan hadn't been paying attention to him, he would definitely have been ignored.

The intuition she developed over the years made her look back subconsciously, but when she saw the doorman who had been hiding his head a few times at the door, he rushed towards Xiao Jue.

Be careful!

Xiao Jue was pointing at Yingyue, He Yan didn't care about anything else, he pushed Xiao Jue away with a palm, the man rushed in front of him and was stabbed in the throat by Xiao Jue.

It's all women who have been stabbing, who would notice this little servant? Moreover, from the very first moment of the accident, this person was like all the helpless servants, hiding a few short distances. Who would have guessed that he would be the last pawn.

Is something wrong? Xiao Jue asked her, frowning.

He Yan shook his head.

Yinyue on the ground suddenly laughed.

In the dead silence, her smile was particularly harsh. He Yan turned to look, the beauty had blood on her lips, but her expression was cruel.

He Yan stepped forward and asked, Who are you? Why do you want to hurt my uncle?

Yingyue looked at He Yan with a fierce expression: If you hadn't come out to disrupt the situation, what would have happened today! You'll never know who my master is...

She coughed up more and more blood on her lips, and the blood that flowed out was also abnormally black. Looking at the women around her, it was all the same. He Yan understood that if he really was a dead man, once the assassination failed, he would die of suicide.

Really? Xiao Jue looked at Yingyue, and suddenly smiled, his eyes sneered, he said, There are countless people in the world who want to kill me. But there is only one person who is so impatient.

I accept this gift from your master. I hope your master can bear my return.

Yin Yue's face changed dramatically. But she had already taken the poison, but after a while, her face was gray and defeated, like the other dozen or so women, Xiang Xiaoyu died, and there was no breath.

Xiao Jue stepped over her corpse, stood in the hall, and looked at Sun Xiangfu, who was hiding a few feet short and trembling with fright, he reprimanded: Sun Magistrate, why don't you explain why you held a banquet for the servant girl in the house? Will assassinate me. Are you deliberately murdering this handsome?

Sun Xiangfu had already been so frightened that his brain was muddled, and when he heard the words, he almost burst into tears. When he saw that the assassins were all gone, he dared to stand up from a few short steps and explained hastily: Captain, I really I don't know, I really don't know! I don't dare to murder you even if you lend me ten courage! These singers were brought back to the mansion half a month ago, I... I don't know they are assassins! Master Yuan, Master Yuan Please help me explain, I, I really don't know what's going on!

Yuan Baozhen, who had been silent for a while, also regained his senses, patted his chest, and said with lingering fears: Sun Magistrate, this is not a question of whether you know it or not. These singers are all people in your house, if Dudu Xiao really has one today. Three long and two short, you can't get rid of it. I don't think this matter is as simple as it seems on the surface, so let's clean up this place first, please come and see, where do these people come from and what are their identities.

He looked at Xiao Jue again: Dudu Xiao is also frightened. Why don't you wash up first, change the place, and listen to Sun Zhixian talk about what's going on. I think these singers came prepared.

Xiao Jue looked at him with a half-smile, and said, Okay.

This evening banquet came to an abrupt end in the middle, but at this moment, everyone was obviously not in the mood to continue. The hall was in a mess, and the servants and the yamen came over quickly to carry the singer's body away. Yuan Baozhen asked, Would you like to search them for any tokens?

Since I arrived at Sun's residence for half a month, the token has already been hidden, so why would it be kept on my body and wait for someone to search it? If there is, I'm afraid it's someone else's fault, Xiao Jue stared at Yuan Baozhen, and said lightly, Master Yuan, don't get caught. counted.

Yuan Baozhen's scalp tightened.

Xiao Jue ignored him, turned his head and saw He Yan standing blankly in the same place, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have not spoken much since just now.

Are you terrified?

What are you doing, let's go. He said to He Yan, and as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his sleeves being pulled out.

Uncle, the young man raised his head, his always smiling face lost his smile, a rare trace of nervousness, his eyes were blank, and fell on his face, as if he didn't look at him again. He said, I pushed you away when that little servant rushed over just now. He threw a handful of things on my face, and my eyes hurt a little. Her voice was small, not as high as before, A little flustered, I can't seem to see.

...

The doctors went in one by one, and then came out very quickly, looking terrified, everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Xiao Jue's face became darker and darker.

Sun Xiangfu watched in horror, who would have thought that Xiao Jue's nephew, the boy who was following Xiao Jue's side, would have his eyes hurt by an assassin? The doctor could only open his eyelids to take a look. The young man only said that he couldn't see it. There was no magic doctor in Liangzhou City. All the doctors who could be found were found, but there was no way.

The medicinal powder on the ground has long been blown away by the wind, leaving no traces. Even the poison does not know what it is and how to solve it. Fortunately, this young man was only injured in his eyes, and the rest was fine. Otherwise, if his life was injured, I don't know how the Governor would be furious.

Commander, said Sun Xiangfu Nuonuo, I'll go to hire a famous doctor after I'm down. The little son Jiren has his own good looks, and he will be fine.

Xiao Jue: Go away.

Anyone can hear the anger in the words. Sun Xiangfu didn't dare to offend Xiao Jue at this juncture.

Xiao Jue stood outside the house, paused for a moment, and then walked inside. Just passing by the last doctor, he saw the young man sitting on the couch with a calm expression, wondering what he was thinking. After a while, he gestured with his hands in front of him, as if he didn't want to believe that he couldn't see.

Because she screamed in pain, the doctor didn't dare to use any medicine. He just found some soothing and cooling herbs and put it on a clean cloth, and tied his eyes with the cloth.

He Yan has always been smiling, sometimes smart, sometimes stupid. As for whether this stupidity is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, no one knows now. His eyes were born very coincidentally, clear and clear, a little silly when he stared, and full of vigor and cunning when he bent them. Now the strips of cloth covered her eyes, and in an instant, the young man's face became unfamiliar, and even the vivid expressions he had in the past seemed to be blurred.

Xiao Jue suddenly remembered that at the banquet, when Yingyue and his party were stabbing, when He Yan rushed over, he didn't waver. Even if He Yan didn't mention the wine that Yingyue poured, he wouldn't drink it, but at that time, in the boy's cry, the fear and anger didn't seem to be fake.

It even sounded horrifying.

He walked in and came to He Yan's collapse.

He Yan seemed to have sensed something, but seemed uncertain. Looking sideways, he asked carefully, Is someone here?

Xiao Jue did not speak.

Is there no one? She whispered again, and turned her head to be quiet.

This way into Liangzhou City, He Yan speaks a lot. Xiao Jue didn't talk to her, so she went to find Fei Nu. Fei Nu didn't talk much, and Song Taotao, who appeared later, filled the vacancy. It is unaccustomed to a person who is often chirping and suddenly becomes quiet.

This young man is only sixteen years old now, but he is different from ordinary people. I was a little flustered when I learned that my eyes were invisible, but I didn't cry or cry. It seemed that he accepted this fact quickly, but when he sat quietly, it would make people feel a little unbearable.

Probably because he was too thin, it was pitiful to look at him like that.

Xiao Jue asked, How do you feel?

All... uncle? He Yan was taken aback for a moment before saying, I'm just not used to it. She reached out and seemed to want to touch her eyes, but what she touched was a cloth, then she retracted her hand and said: Are my eyes really invisible?

He even asked this question in a calm tone.

Xiao Jue should have said yes, but at this moment, he couldn't say it.

Such an extraordinary young man is at the best age. With his aptitude, he will be promoted in Liangzhou Guard within a few years. Pearls in a pool of muddy water will not be buried no matter what. But without a pair of eyes, the situation is different. Not to mention the impact on the future, it also takes courage for him to get used to such dark days.

After all, he wasn't invisible from birth. Having it and then losing it is more unbearable than not having it in the first place.

Uncle, aren't you feeling sorry for me? He Yan suddenly said. Although his eyes were covered with cloth strips, the tone of her words made people imagine that if it was normal, she should have widened her eyes at this moment, and her eyes were full of narrowness and ridicule.

Perhaps you are still blaming yourself? She smiled. Actually, you don't have to blame yourself for me. You should praise me. Maybe if you praise me, I will think that it's all worth it.

What are you complimenting you? Xiao Jue said indifferently.

Of course I'm good. The boy's voice was a little surprised, but also a little proud, If I hadn't reminded you not to drink, this assassination would not have been triggered. I am your savior, don't you think? Isn't it great!

What time has she been thinking about these things? Xiao Jue was speechless. He didn't know whether to say that this young man was big-hearted or really didn't care.

You don't seem to be sad. Xiao Jue said, Your eyes can't see, maybe never.

As soon as these words came out, the boy's fingers curled up. Although it was extremely subtle, it was still captured by Xiao Jue.

He was afraid, not as lightly as it might seem.

God won't treat me so badly, right? He Yan said, I have never done a single bad thing in my life, so why treat me like this. If...if you really want to treat me like this, then I can't help it, even the blind. There are many kinds, I am so powerful, let's be the most powerful among the blind.

Xiao Jue was slightly startled, this sentence sounded inexplicably familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere a long time ago.

But, uncle, are you giving up so early? I think you should find some more doctors for me to see? Maybe I can be cured, why are you talking like there is no cure? he asks.

Xiao Jue glanced at him. Although the young man tried his best to behave as usual, he was a little sullen and unable to lift his spirits. He said, Have a good rest. He turned and left.

Xiao Jue left the house, and the house returned to calm. Because there may be assassins in the house, all the servants in the house were evacuated, and only one of Xiao Jue's own servants, Feinu, was left outside the courtyard.

He Yan stretched out his hand and seemed to want to untie the knot behind his head, but after a while he put down his hand and did not continue.

She lowered her head and murmured, Ding Yi.

Yuan Baozhen's guard, He Rufei's former servant, who gave her a bowl of poison in her previous life, she heard Yuan Baozhen call his name, and his name was Ding Yi.

...

In the study, Sun Xiangfu's face was wrinkled and he was about to cry.

Sitting in front of him is Yuan Baozhen, Yuan Baozhen said: Sun Magistrate, I can't help you with this.

Master Yuan, you can't help me! You are the only one who can help me now, Sun Xiangfu said with a sad face, I really don't know what happened to those assassins today. Now the Governor is angry. , Cheng Gongzi's eyes can't be seen anymore, Dudu Xiao will definitely take the fire on the lower officials, I'm just a magistrate, how can I take on the anger of General Feng Yun!

Xiao Jue and Cheng Lisu have a good relationship with their uncle and nephew. Sun Xiangfu has met them in person. Cheng Lisu and Sun Ling had an argument, and the appearance of Xiao Jue rushing over to protect her was really terrifying. At that time, it was just a few words of argument. Now Cheng Lisu is really blind, doesn't Xiao Jue want to die? Sun Xiangfu shivered when he thought of this.

I don't think Governor Xiao is such a rude and unreasonable person. Yuan Baozhen comforted.

While the two were talking, Xiao Jue arrived.

Sun Xiangfu couldn't care less about begging Yuan Baozhen, so he knelt down to Xiao Jue with his robe lifted.

What do you mean? Xiao Jue asked with cold eyes.

Commander, Xiaguan really doesn't know what's going on at the moment? Xiaguan was also deceived by them! Even if you gave me a hundred courage, Xiaguan would not dare to murder you! Sun Xiangfu began to shout.

Get up, Xiao Jue glanced at him, seeming to despise his manners, walked inside, sat down on the top chair, looked at him and said, Tell me how you met them. After a pause, he added: Those assassins.

This is...believing that he is not the mastermind behind it? Sun Xiangfu noticed this and was overjoyed. On the other hand, Yuan Baozhen's eyes flickered, but he didn't make a sound.

Sun Xiangfu hurriedly stood up without brushing the dust on his robes, and retreated to a slightly lower chair to sit down. In this way, he and Yuan Baozhen were sitting in a position that seemed to respect Xiao Jue. Sun Xiangfu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, Actually, it's only been half a month since they entered the mansion. At first, a new opera troupe came to the city...

The head of this troupe was an old woman who brought a group of girls who were like flowers and jade to the city, saying that the place where they lived was suffering from severe drought, and they really had no way to survive, so they moved to Liangzhou City. They set up a stage in the east of the city of Liangzhou and sang three times a day.

At first, only the commoners came to see. This group of girls was not only beautiful, but also sang wonderfully. It was very eye-catching. Gradually, they became famous, which attracted many nobles to know. After coming and going, it spread into Sun Ling's ears. .

There are beautiful women in Liangzhou city that Sun Ling has not touched. On the night that Sun Ling watched the play, he asked people to buy those women and enter the palace to sing the play. When the old lady of the class leader refused and was injured by Sun Ling's servants and was about to be killed, Yingyue stood up and said that she was willing to persuade her sisters to enter the government voluntarily, and only hoped that Sun Ling would release their class leader.

Sun Ling did it generously, and Yingyue really persuaded a group of sisters to be gentle and careless after entering the mansion. After entering the Sun Mansion, Sun Ling found out that these girls not only can sing opera, but are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Yinyue is particularly outstanding.

Sun Xiangfu also knew about Yingyue.

Sun Xiangfu is different from Sun Ling. Sun Ling only knows how to eat, drink and have fun every day, but Sun Xiangfu has a little ambition. It is good to be the county magistrate of Liangzhou, but what if he can go further? Even if we don't go any further, this magistrate is not really sitting firmly, he has to manage up and down, and familiar and unfamiliar people have to have a good relationship. For example, the new commander of Liangzhou Guard, he is not very familiar.

Sun Xiangfu asked Yingyue to come, and asked Yingyue to hold a banquet in the mansion to cheer up the guests. Anyway, there are two guests, Yuan Baozhen, the censor, and Xiao Jue, the governor of the Right Army. As long as he pleases one of them, he can rest easy.

Although Sun Ling was a little dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. In the days after that, Yingyue really took her sisters to practice dancing and singing. Every time Sun Xiangfu went to watch it, she was very satisfied. This maid is still very smart. When she entered the mansion as the head of the class, she was a little reluctant. After learning the luxury of Sun Mansion, she became more clever. Sometimes when Sun Xiangfu talked to her, she could still feel the woman's desire for power. .

Yes, people go high and water flows down. This is the case with all people in the world, men and women alike.

Sun Xiangfu thought so until the banquet changed tonight.

When he talked about these things, probably because of embarrassment, he also added a little embellishment, but after removing those insignificant decorations, it was nothing more than one thing. Sun Ling got excited, but who knew that he picked up a poisonous snake home.

I really didn't expect that they were assassins. Women...how can women be assassins? Sun Xiangfu said, not knowing whether this was for Xiao Jue or for himself. Gein's woman has always been a plaything for the father and son of the Sun family, or an item that was sent to win over the superiors.

These assassins entered the palace half a month ago? Xiao Jue asked.

Sun Xiangfu nodded, That's right, it's all the fault of Xiaguan. Xiaguan didn't check their identities seriously, he just thought they were women, and they were weak and pitiful in the city without relatives, so...

He was trying his best to describe himself as a mansion that pity others for their weakness, but Xiao Jue ignored him at all. Just playing with the teacup in his hand, he said lightly: Half a month ago, Sun Zhixian didn't send me a message, inviting me to come to the house for a banquet.

Sun Xiangfu was taken aback.

Only half a month ago, Master Yuan should have known the day when he arrived in Liangzhou. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Baozhen with a half-smile.

Yuan Baozhen heard the words and replied with a smile, What do you mean by the Governor's remark? It's not that he suspects me, right? The Governor doesn't even think about it. If these women were really arranged by me, how could I be sure that they would be taken back to the mansion by Sun Magistrate County. I can't predict things like God?

Of course you can't predict things like God, Xiao Jue's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly, You just need to write a letter to Sun Zhixian.

This is to say that Yuan Baozhen and Sun Xiangfu are in the game together.

Sun Xiangfu finally thought that he had cleared his suspicions, Xiao Jue's words immediately made him sweat like rain again, and immediately waved his hands in a hurry: No, no! Governor, I really don't, I don't know how this happened. I have never received a letter from Master Yuan!

Yuan Baozhen stopped laughing, looked at Xiao Jue, and said solemnly: The governor has convicted me and Sun Zhixian with one word, but there is no evidence, which is really chilling. I have no deep hatred with the governor, or It is the first time to have a banquet with the governor, why would it hurt the governor?

He was born with a good face, and his words and words were very sincere, and there were two points of misunderstanding.

Xiao Jue stared at him for a while, and after a while, smiled, he said indifferently: Just kidding, Sir Yuan doesn't have to be serious.

He withdrew his smile and became cold again, like a knife that was about to be unsheathed, hiding the fierceness that was about to come.

However, there are so many doubts about this matter, I'm afraid I'll be here for a few days before I figure it out, he said.

The Governor...do you want to live here?

The assassination has only happened, and ordinary people will only feel that this place is not safe and will leave as soon as possible.

Yeah, the young governor put down the tea cup and stood up, with a tall body and slightly cold eyes, stay here and catch thieves.

Don't be in a hurry to scold me. . .
