He Yan accompanied He Sui and He Yunsheng the day before she left.
When He Yunsheng found out that she was going to Jiuchuan, he was extremely agitated and scolded, "I know you're skilled, but He Yan, that's Jiuchuan. In the past, whether it was in the Rundu or Jiyang, at least you didn't fight alone. You've never led an army by yourself, so how could you fight against those Uto? Those Uto are cunning and cruel. As soon as they broke through Jiuchuan, they started to massacre the city. You're a woman, if you were really captured … "He Yunsheng shuddered. That would be hell that was more painful than death.
"He Yunsheng!" He Sui shouted, "Speak properly."
The young man shut his mouth, but his gaze towards He Yan was still filled with endless worry.
No matter how much the new recruits of the Liangzhou Guards worshipped He Yan and told him that He Yan was omnipotent, in the hearts of the He Family's father and son, He Yan was always the weak little girl who clamored to buy new clothes and lipstick. When a delicate plant was moved into the wild, it was already fortunate that it could survive after being exposed to the sun and wind. How could they let this plant fight and kill, fight for its life?
It was simply ridiculous.
"The imperial edict has already been issued, and the commander's seal is also in my hands," He Yan said helplessly, "Yunsheng, calm down. I haven't gone to Jiuchuan yet, and you've already arranged for my defeat. If this reaches the emperor's ears, our He Family will be in big trouble. "
He Yunsheng was dumbfounded by her words. After a while, he said, "Isn't it all because you're trying to be brave?"
"A real man," He Yan teased him, "The country is in danger, and it needs people. How can you only think about yourself? The teachers in your academy usually don't teach you like this, right? "
"I don't care so much," the young man gritted his teeth and said, "I only care about my family. Besides, if you let me go in your place, I'll go without saying anything. What's wrong with the imperial court? There are so many men, yet they let a woman charge at the front. "
He Yan smiled. "Yunsheng, what are you talking about? Wasn't General Feihong, whom you admired in the past, also a woman?"
She patted the young man's shoulder. "I didn't think too much about it, and I didn't think that I should hide behind just because I'm a woman. But because I thought I could go to war, I went. This has nothing to do with men or women. "
"Yan Yan." He Sui looked at her. His eyes were a little red, but he still had to look generous and carefree. "Well said. Father thinks so too. You're a child with a mind of your own. Since you took the initiative to go to Jiuchuan, you must have a plan in mind. Father won't stop you. Don't listen to Yunsheng's nonsense. Father believes that you can definitely beat those Uto. "
As he spoke, he began to choke with sobs.
If He Sui wasn't too old and didn't have much talent, He Sui would have picked up his sword and rushed to the battlefield with He Yan. It would be a lie to say that he was relieved. He only had this one daughter, and he raised her like a treasure. Previously, He Yan had secretly gone to the Liangzhou Guards, which made him worried for a long time. Now that they were going to face those Uto with real swords and spears, how could he be relaxed?
However, if this was the path that He Yan had decided to take, as her father, the only thing he could do was to help her.
"Father has wondered before whether our He Family would have a general in the future. But I always thought it would be Yunsheng. I didn't expect it to be Yan Yan." He looked at the girl in front of him with emotion. Who would have thought that the arrogant and unrestrained girl who always clamored to buy new rouge would now become a heroine who led an army and personally went to the battlefield to fight against the enemy?
He felt proud and sad at the same time. He was proud that He Sui's daughter was so outstanding that no man in the world could compare to her. He was sad because when a girl went to the battlefield, what she had to face was cruelty and darkness that no other girl had ever faced.
However, if she wanted to be an eagle in the sky, then she should be allowed to fly in the sky, and not be a kite with the string in her hand.
She had her own world, even if that world was far away that he, as her father, couldn't touch.
"Father believes that your mother will definitely protect you from the heavens," He Sui said.
He Yan looked at He Sui. He Sui, this father, was tolerant and magnanimous. Even now, he was completely thinking of her. Even if his heart ached unbearably, he would never show it, and would never pretend to be a tool to tie down his daughter.
How fortunate was she that they were her family.
"Father, don't worry," He Yan held He Sui's hand. His father's hand was broad and rough, and his fingertips were thick with calluses from years of hard work. "I'll be back soon after I defeat those Uto."
She paused after each word, as if she was making a promise, "I'll definitely be back."
The day before they left, He Yan and Xiao Jue went out in the evening and sat in the carriage to Feng Le Lou.
Lin Shuanghe had booked the entire Feng Le Lou today and invited a few friends to see them off. He was a spendthrift, and this time he was going to follow them to Ji County. He didn't know when he would be able to squander again.
When they arrived at Feng Le Lou, the waiter downstairs led them upstairs. When they went upstairs, only Lin Shuanghe was there. The table was filled with food and wine, and in the middle of the table was a copper pot. In the pot, mutton was boiling, and the aroma assailed their nostrils. Lin Shuanghe was talking to the beautiful zither player. They didn't know what he said, but the girl kept laughing.
"Brother Lin." He Yan called out to him. Lin Shuanghe turned his head and saw He Yan. His eyes lit up, and he walked over and complained, "Why did you guys come so late? I've been here for a while, and I thought you guys wouldn't be coming today. "
He Yan looked around. "Just the three of us?"
Just the three of them, and they ordered such a big table. Lin Shuanghe was really a prodigal son.
"How could that be? I called Yan Nanguang and his wife to come over as well. In any case, we're leaving together tomorrow. Today, I'll treat it as a farewell for everyone, and also for myself. However, "Lin Shuanghe waved his fan." Yan Nanguang, why are you so late? Could it be that you know you're going to the battlefield tomorrow, so you hid at home and cried today? "
"Lin Shuanghe, who are you scolding? Who's hiding at home and crying? "As they were talking, someone's voice came from outside. They turned their heads and saw Yan He supporting Xia Chengxiu as they walked in. He glared at Lin Shuanghe. "Who's the coward here? Didn't you invite us here today to build a good relationship with me, so that I can protect you when we get to Ji County, so that you won't be killed by those Uto? "He sneered." Don't think I can't tell! "
He Yan noticed that Xia Chengxiu was being supported by Yan He. He asked with concern, "Miss Chengxiu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "
Although she should be calling Xia Chengxiu "Madam Yan," He Yan still preferred to call her "Miss Chengxiu." Xia Chengxiu was gentle and patient. It was hard to imagine how she ended up as husband and wife with Yan He, who had such a bad temper.
Xia Chengxiu was a little embarrassed. He was about to speak when Yan He interrupted. He wanted to show off, but he didn't want to be too direct. He pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing. It's just that she's pregnant now, so she should be more careful."
"Pregnant?" He Yan was stunned.
Lin Shuanghe said excitedly, "Madam Yan is pregnant? Come, come, come, let me take a look — "He reached out to grab Xia Chengxiu's hand.
Yan He slapped his hand away and stood in front of Xia Chengxiu. He said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking Madam Yan's pulse," Lin Shuanghe said. "I'm the White Cloth Divine Physician, and I specialize in treating women. Let me see how Madam Yan's fetus is … "
"Get lost," Yan He kicked him, "I've already seen the imperial physician in the palace. She's doing very well. You don't have to worry about her!"
"Madam Yan, look at him." Lin Shuanghe held his fan tightly and said in a low voice, "You have to take care of him."
Xia Chengxiu smiled and shook his head.
Yan He's gaze fell on He Yan. He Yan was puzzled. He looked at Xiao Jue who was sitting at the table and suddenly said proudly, "Xiao Huaijin, I'm going to be a father."
"I heard that," Xiao Jue replied coldly.
"I'm going to be a father before you!" Yan He emphasized, "I'm going to be a father before you!"
He Yan, "…"
Yan He must have been a gamer in his previous life. What was there to compare? Furthermore, she and Xiao Jue had only been married for a short time. Yan He had been married for a long time. How could they be compared? The competition was simply too unfair.
He Yan was thinking when Xiao Jue suddenly looked up and glanced at him.
He Yan, "?"
The next moment, Second Young Master Xiao said slowly, "Who told you that you're going to be a father before me?"
Yan He's smile froze, "What do you mean?"
"Your son isn't even born yet. My daughter can already recite books." He stared at the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly.
Lin Shuanghe spat out a mouthful of tea.
He Yan, "…"
Was Xiao Jue talking about the time when she was drunk and asked Xiao Jue to recite a book to him when they were in the Liang Province Guards? Lin Shuanghe covered his face with his fan and said, "Yes, yes. Huaijin is going to be a father before you. I can testify to this. It's true! My daughter is so obedient. She can recite everything! "
"How is that possible?" Yan He panicked when he heard this. He rushed forward and questioned, "She can even recite books? Your illegitimate daughter? Xiao Huaijin, you actually have an illegitimate daughter. When did this happen? Wow, everyone says that you're arrogant and look down on everyone. I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person. And you! " He looked at He Yan with disappointment and scolded, "You look like a hero who kills enemies on the battlefield. How can you tolerate this? Why didn't you use a knife to chop off this bastard's head? "
He Yan, "I …"
"Are you afraid that the Xiao family will oppress you?" Yan He's eyes narrowed and waved his hand, "I'll support you. Tomorrow, we'll divorce!"
Xiao Jue frowned slightly.
"Yan Nanguang," he said calmly, "I don't want to fight today."
"Who's afraid of you?" Yan He rolled up his sleeves eagerly when he heard this. "Bring it on!"
"Nan Guang," Xia Chengxiu shook his head disapprovingly and said softly, "Young Master Lin is treating us today. How can we fight? Besides, Military Governor Xiao was joking with you. Why do you take it seriously? "
When Xia Chengxiu said this, Yan He immediately became listless and said, "… Okay."
"The mutton is cooked. Let's sit down and eat." Lin Shuanghe asked them to sit down. When they sat down, he nudged Xiao Jue with his arm and said softly, "Huaijin, you're really good."
Xiao Jue couldn't be bothered with him.
Lin Shuanghe treated the Lin family's money like water. He always ordered the most expensive dishes. A table of dishes cost a table of silver. However, you get what you pay for. Feng Le Restaurant's dishes were the best in the capital.
He Yan originally thought that even though Yan He was henpecked, he was still a general and would be careless. He didn't expect Yan He to be able to impress him this time. Xia Chengxiu remembered what he could eat and what he couldn't drink better than anyone else. He Yan guessed that the servants in the palace who served the imperial concubines were probably at this level.
As he served Xia Chengxiu, he said, "Hey, do you guys know Yang Mingzhi?"
When Xiao Jue heard this name, she didn't react. Instead, Lin Shuanghe paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It wasn't like that before," Yan He lowered his voice, "Guang Yan agreed to open a market in Da Wei for the Uto. As the governor of Jinling, Yang Mingzhi opposed it and almost lost his position. I don't know what happened, but I heard that the Yang family had a falling out with him because of this. "
He Yan glanced at Xiao Jue and asked, "What happened after that?"
"After the Emperor ascended the throne, he appreciated his actions. He also saw that when he was in Jinling, he was clean and had outstanding achievements. He wanted to transfer him back to Shuo Jing, but he was rejected by Yang Mingzhi. Don't look at me, I don't know why he refused. " Yan He shrugged, "Even though he is in Jinling now, I think that the Emperor admires him. He will return to Shuo Jing sooner or later. The Yang family must be regretting it now. Why didn't I see that old man Yang was this kind of person? "
No one answered him at the table.
"What happened to you guys before?" Yan He was very curious about Yang Mingzhi. He asked Xiao Jue, "What kind of hatred can be so far away? How many years have passed and you still remember it? Xiao Huaijin, "he said," As a man, you should be magnanimous. What kind of man are you if you are so petty? "
"Shut up," Lin Shuanghe rolled his eyes at him, "I think you are the most petty person at this table."
"I didn't part ways with my close friend."
"Forget it," Lin Shuanghe said disdainfully, "Do you have a close friend?"
"Lin Shuanghe!"
He Yan picked up a piece of radish and put it in Xiao Jue's bowl. When Second Young Master Xiao was not in the military camp, as long as he ate outside, he would eat vegetables. He probably minded that others did not clean it well. He Yan felt that he was too particular, but … forget it, everyone had their own habits.
She interrupted Yan He and tried to change the topic, "Miss Chengxiu, do you want the child in your belly to be a young master or a young lady?"
Xia Chengxiu smiled. She couldn't be considered an outstanding beauty, but she had her own gentle charm. She said, "Young Master or Young Miss, I like them both."
He Yan asked Yan He, "What about Generals Yan?"
"I don't care if it is a young master or young lady. As long as it is my wife's child, of course I like it." Once Yan He mentioned his unborn child, his tail was about to reach the sky. He said proudly, "If it is someone else's child, whether it is a young master or young lady, I will hate it!"
He Yan, "…"
This person was really arrogant. He did not know how other people's children had offended him.
Lin Shuanghe also asked Xia Chengxiu, "Sister-in-law, have you named the child?"
"This …" Xia Chengxiu showed a troubled expression.
"I have my own ideas," Yan He interrupted, "If it is a daughter, then she will be called Yan Muxia."
He Yan, "… Is this the meaning of admiring Miss Chengxiu?"
"I couldn't tell that you didn't know anything about poetry, but now you are quite smart." Yan He said proudly, "How is it? Do you think that I am good at naming? "
He Yan did not know how to respond.
Yan He probably did not realize that although it was a good thing that he loved his wife, every time he proudly showed off his love for his wife, he seemed a little, no, he was exceptionally stupid.
"You are really good at naming." He Yan was very supportive, "Then what if it is a boy?"
Yan He showed a lack of interest, "Then he will be called General Yan Liang. I hope that when he grows up, he can also be a general as outstanding as his father. "
"What kind of person is this," Lin Shuanghe mocked, "Even at this time, he still doesn't forget to put gold on his face."
"Lin Shuanghe!" Yan He said angrily, "When you go to Ji County, do you still want to live?"
"Yes, yes," Lin Shuanghe cupped his hands, "I hope that Generals Yan will save this young master's worthless life when the time comes."
Only then was Yan He satisfied.
He Yan bit into a lamb leg and asked, "However, Brother Lin, you going to Ji County is really out of my expectations. I thought that even if you were to go to the battlefield, you would go to Yun Zi or Jiuchuan. "
If he went to Yun Zi, he could go with Xiao Jue. If he went to Jiuchuan, he would be with her. It was not that he was boasting. Speaking of which, Lin Shuanghe's relationship with her or Xiao Jue was obviously better than He Yan. However, she later understood that there was a plague in Ji County right now. If Lin Shuanghe wanted to go to Ji County, it must be because of the plague.
"Meimei," Lin Shuanghe had called her "Sister-in-law" a few times before, but in the end, he felt awkward and called her "Meimei" in the end. He said, "I know the abilities of you and Huaijin. With me or without me, there is not much difference. Generals Yan is different. If I am not present, what if he gets injured and there is no godly doctor to treat him? What will happen if the war is delayed? His relations with people are very bad. If those military doctors take the opportunity to poison his medicine, tsk tsk tsk, how tragic! "
Yan He was furious, "Lin Shuanghe, I think that nothing good comes out of your filthy mouth! How could I get injured? This is ridiculous! Let me tell you, in the future, don't beg me to save you. Get lost! "
He Yan knew that Lin Shuanghe was just spouting nonsense. He looked like a playboy, but in fact, he had a lot of ideas in his mind. How could a man raised by the Shuo Jing's Lin Family be afraid of death?
He Yan raised the cup in her hand. Because they had to set off tomorrow, she did not dare to get drunk today. She only switched to sweet rice wine. She said, "Miss Youxian gave us a jar of Bifang wine earlier, but let's not drink it today. After we defeat those Uto, we will come to Feng Le Lou and ask Brother Lin to prepare a table of good dishes for us. Then, we will not waste the wine."
"For now, let's just make do with this rice wine. Let's hope that we can defeat the enemy and win every battle. Let's hope that we can return victorious. What do you think?"
"Good!" Lin Shuanghe was the first to clap. "Well said!"
Xiao Jue glanced at her and smiled.
The five cups collided in the air and made a crisp sound. It was like the sound of weapons clashing. It was also like the sound of a horn announcing victory.
"Cheers."
