Huaigui

Chapter 40 Returning to the Fan and Going to the Setting Sun

"Oh?" Xie Bi's eyes lit up, and he said flatteringly, "Brother He, when I saw you, I thought you looked unusual, and you really have your own way! I saved your life, and you can help me more in the future. "

He Lan Mingyue looked at him, a little speechless.

Xie Bi shook his legs: "Tell me, as long as you don't tell me to go to the university to find someone, I have my own way."

Helan Mingyue rolled her eyes secretly, she felt that this man's mouth seemed to have been opened, and a few casual words could poke her sore spot.But he calmly said: "It's not possible for Da Nei, do you know where Quanshui Lane is?"

"I know, I know, isn't it right next to the White Horse Temple?" Xie Bi seemed to know the streets and alleys of Los Angeles very well, "The people living nearby are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. You asked me to go, who are you looking for?"

He Lan Mingyue didn't know Xu Xin's exact address there, so he could only say, "Look for a general named Xu."

Xie Bi frowned and said, "General?"

"I don't quite know where her... the house is, she told me to go there to find someone, maybe you will find out when you go there." He Lan rubbed the corner of the quilt uneasily, "You probably have heard of it, General Xu Xinxu. "

"This name sounds familiar—" Xie Bi slapped his thigh, "Ah, is it the famous Bingzhou female marshal? I've heard her story, it's amazing!" Seeing He Lan's admission, his eyes suddenly became ambiguous : "You know her, and you asked me to find her to help you? What's your relationship?"

Helan Mingyue: "..."

Xie Biwu said to himself: "I heard that she is very heroic, but didn't she just marry a prince a while ago? No, that's true, she must be quite young... Oh, brother He, you can't be her My little lover! Seeing that you look like a dog, how can you do such a thing?"

Helan Mingyue: "..."

Xie Bi was already immersed in her own imagination: "Tsk tsk tsk, I completely understand. You must have a very close relationship with General Xu, or you two are in love with each other, but you can't be together due to various constraints? Now she Married to the prince, how can the prince tolerate you? Yes, your serious injury must be because of her being stabbed by the prince's killer!"

He Lan Mingyue tried to refute: "It's not..."

Xie Bi: "I heard that the palace in the north of the city is heavily guarded, and the prince has even raised a bunch of masters for him to drive. You are a martial arts student, and you can be injured so easily. You must have been beaten so helplessly by them. Hey... ..."

Not knowing what shocking words he was going to say, He Lan Mingyue became anxious and coughed violently, almost cracking the wound.Killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred finally stopped Xie Bi's endless imagination.

Taking advantage of the gap, He Lan Mingyue hurriedly said: "I'm not..."

"No need to say more!" The other party's sense of justice was burning, "I understand. Since you have such a relationship with General Xu, I will help you contact her! This matter is on my shoulders, you just wait for the good news— —”

After saying that, Xie Bi stood up, put on his outer shirt, and ran out the door with great power.

Helan Mingyue clutched his chest, there was still a dull pain there, he opened the front of his clothes, and it really oozes blood again.For the first time since waking up to now, my heart is extremely tired.

It's a good thing to leave as soon as you say, but he always felt extremely flustered when he looked in the direction Xie Bi left.

I don't know whether to say that there is no unparalleled road, or whether Xie Bi, a poor scholar who is full of trains, really has some tricks. It was night, when He Lan Mingyue was drowsy, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside with a long sound.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

The courtyard of the medical center is not too big, and the house is even narrower, except for the place where Lao Qin lives, only half of the bedrooms are left.

The reason why it is called half side is because it is not a separate wing.A simple bed was placed in the main hall, separated from the place where the pulse was opened by a screen, and it was mainly used for temporary recuperation for severely injured patients like He Lan who couldn't move for a while.Therefore, there was a disturbance outside, and he couldn't hear it more clearly.

Helan Mingyue could barely move his fingers. He instinctively wanted to touch the sword he used to keep beside his pillow, but when he tried to lift it up, he felt a sharp pain at first, and then he suddenly became sober.

He was no longer in Ziwei City, and the handful of Yan Shanxue also left his side.

Two figures were revealed on the screen, one of them was Xie Bi with a slightly familiar outline.He lit the lamp, and waved the candlestick in his hand: "Ah, you're awake...I thought you were asleep, so you didn't dare to speak."

Then, another person also turned around. Before Helan Mingyue could see her appearance clearly, she heard a familiar voice: "Mingyue!"

Her words contained the surprise and caution of lost and found. He Lan Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, not surprised why she called her name so logically, and responded first: "It's... General Xu?"

Xu Xin was wearing night clothes, with his hair tied up in a manly attire.She half-kneeled to the side of the couch, grasped Helan Mingyue's hand at once, glanced at the bandages protruding from his body, her lips moved inconceivably, and her eyes immediately turned red: "How could you be hurt like this?"

He Lan Mingyue hesitated to speak, and raised her eyes to look at Xie Bi who was beside her.

The other party seemed to understand his scruples, put down the candlestick, covered his eyes and muttered "see no evil", ignored He Lan's glaring at him, made a grimace, and ran out the door.

He didn't know why Xu Xin was so kind to him, so he withdrew his hand: "I didn't expect the general to come by himself..."

Xu Xin realized that it was inappropriate just now, so he sat down again, clasped his hands awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm so excited, I lost my sense of proportion."

"It's okay." He Lan said sincerely, "I'm very glad to see the general again."

Xu Xin explained: "Today, I happened to be going back to the mansion in Quanshui Lane. I met that little brother who was asking about Xu's mansion, so I went up to talk to him. I heard that his friend who was seriously injured was called 'He Guichi'. It must be you... It's just that it's inconvenient during the day, and I didn't come here until now... On that day, I heard that you, you—"

At the end she choked up again, He Lan Mingyue frowned and said, "It's a long story, how did you hear about it?"

Xu Xindao: "Gao Hong has always had his own eyeliner in the palace. That night I heard that there was an accident in Wensi Palace. Not long after, Lu Yi reported to His Majesty that he discovered your identity and forced His Highness to kill you. Gao Hong didn't believe that His Highness really had to do it. Later It was Lin Shang who did it for him... that's why he believed Lu Yi."

He Lan Mingyue said: "That's almost the case. I didn't figure out anything. He... he suddenly wanted me to die. He said that only in this way can the country be stable."

"Your Majesty is too suspicious, and takes Si Tianjian's prophecy as his standard. Many courtiers who know the matter secretly object, but no one dares to say it in person." Xu Xin snorted coldly, "Gao Hong is not a thing either. , seeing you falling into their hands, they didn’t know how to leave you a way out!”

He Lan couldn't talk about the quarrel between him and King Yu, so he couldn't answer for a moment, secretly said: General Xu always called him by his first name, aren't they husband and wife?Why do you look like an enemy?

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Xin wiped the corners of his eyes: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to complain again and again. You are looking for me now, because you want to leave the capital?"

"I have no idea where I can go." He Lan turned his face and said flatly, "I have been trapped in different places for nearly 20 years, and now I am freed in this way... I should be very happy, but I just want to At a loss. What to do, where to go, seems to have no idea, empty."

Hearing his words, Xu Xin felt sore, and couldn't help stroking He Lan's hair: "Don't think so, you are still young. No matter what decision you make, I will help you."

He Lan Mingyue asked: "General, why are you doing this?"

Xu Xin knew that there was no point in hiding it now, and said: "Before you were in the imperial city, the authorities were confused. Now that you have come out, why not tell the truth. The reason I treat you well is to repay the King of Longxi."

He cheered up, and after being scolded by Xie Bi's nonsense that day, he didn't know what happened in the past, and his cheeks burned with embarrassment, and he stuttered: "You and, and father..."

When he said this, Helan's throat was also choked, and it seemed that it was the first time he used this method to solemnly address Helan Maojia in his entire memory.

As soon as the word "father" came out, he seemed to suddenly realize that there was once a person who was connected with him by blood, and seeing the "pocket of loess" that he didn't care about in the past could also make him feel sad.

Xu Xin didn't notice his abnormality, nodded and said: "When I met the general, I was only 13 years old.

"When I was young, I liked to dance with knives and guns. Later, when my father died young, I entrusted the orphan to a general of the Imperial Army who I knew well. When I met the general at the beginning of the year, he was in the Imperial Army. He said to me: 'Why do girls come to such a place? Did someone tell you that you should hide in your room to embroider and weave?' When I heard this, I was furious, and I took up my soldiers to beat him up, but I was subdued in two or three times, and said indignantly, "Why can't the woman be here?" , I still want to go to battle to kill the enemy!' As soon as the words fell, the general laughed, and said a few words of 'I have ambition'. After asking my name, I realized that he was deliberately provoking me.

"Not long after, someone took me to the women's guard camp. When I saw the general again, he had just returned from Saibei, and he had won a big victory over Suiye Kingdom, with a silver saddle and a white horse, and he was full of vigor. He saw me and said: 'Little girl, this time Are you satisfied?" I said: "Although the women's guard camp is good, I still only stay in Luoyang. I'm going to the battlefield!" He asked: "Aren't you afraid of going through life and death?" Then I won’t be afraid either!’ The general smiled again and stroked my hair. I wanted to talk to him more, but someone came to inform His Majesty to pass him on, and the general left in a hurry.”

Speaking of this, Xu Xin was in a trance, and suddenly paused.

He Lan Mingyue couldn't help asking: "Then what happened after that?"

"What happened later? He began to teach me the art of war and horsemanship, and told me to stick to myself no matter what I did and not care about other people's gossip. Although the time we were together was very short, without his enlightenment back then, I would definitely not have been able to enter the women's guard camp." Wu, and it is even more impossible to become the first female coach in Daning since the beginning of the year."

Helan Mingyue knew that she might have something to do with the Western Army, and when she heard that there was such a past, she was stunned and admired her father in her memory.

Xu Xin said wistfully, "Without General He Lan, there would be no military governor of Bingzhou today."

He Lan said: "The general must have been heartbroken when he heard what happened..."

She tucked up the quilt for Helan Mingyue: "That's right. At that time...he had just won the battle in Nanchu, and no one would have expected...Think carefully about the scene of that day, I was still in the palace , His Majesty summoned the King of Yu, and later it was reported that the general died in prison, I was greatly shocked, and I asked for orders from the female guard camp to go to Bingzhou..."

"Father will be pleased if he knows what the general has accomplished today."

Xu Xin smiled relievedly: "I have always wanted to fight alongside him, but unfortunately time waits for no one." She poured a cup of tea for He Lan Mingyue, "It's a pity that I have never seen you before, and I thought he was full of life. After inquiring, I came across the news that you were secretly protected by King Yu."

Helan Mingyue's throat choked: "It's not protection."

"Of course he has other plans for you, but now the whole plan is almost all in vain." Xu Xin said something, "Mingyue, you'd better leave the capital, don't be tied down by the past. Those big people, now you are not messing with any of them." Sorry."

"I know, but..."

Does King Yu have any plans?

Xu Xin could see what he was thinking: "He originally wanted to use you to contain Gao Jing, but now His Majesty took the lead to remove this layer of imprisonment. The two brothers have been fighting for many years, and you are just a victim."

Thinking before, Xu Xin will definitely serve a certain side, He Lan Mingyue asked: "Is the general also in the game?"

She stroked He Lan's hair, and said softly, "Me? I only insist on my own right and wrong... At least, until that decree is found out, I will be fine."

Helan Mingyue remained silent, and Xu Xin said again: "You are hurt too badly, so don't think too much. These days, you can slowly think about where you want to go and which way you want to go. Wait until you recover Come and find me in person, and then we will have a long-term plan."

"we?"

"Mingyue, I walked alone in the past, and almost died twice, but I won't do it in the future." Xu Xin stood up and put on the dark coat again, "With Aunt Xu here, you will no longer be alone. people live."

After saying that, she walked out of the room without looking back.

He Lan Mingyue was lying on the couch, staring hard at the beam.These days, perhaps because of illness, or it is rare to think clearly about some things, he often falls into unreasonable sadness.

Talking with Xu Xin today, although the nose is sore and the eyes are hot, Helan Mingyue is more clear than ever.

Xie Bi flashed in from the door, and said in surprise, "Hey, are you gone?"

He Lan Mingyue was annoyed by his repeated tone, and said angrily, "Let's go."

Xie Bi said: "I thought the general would stay longer! The two of you almost didn't see each other, and you didn't talk to each other? That's too little..."

He Lan Mingyue warned: "You keep talking nonsense, wait and see when I recover."

Xie Bi quickly covered her mouth. After a while, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and approached mysteriously: "Then, what is your relationship with her? Could it be that she is your stepmother?"

Helan Mingyue was at a loss for words for a moment, raised her hand and knocked over a teacup, cursing in a rough voice: "Get lost!"
