Chapter 21: Conscription Documents



On the way back, He Yunsheng kept observing He Yan's expression.

"You won't have any contact with someone named Fan anymore, right?" he confirmed again and again.

"I promise you, I will never associate with him." He Yan said, "Is that ok?"

He Yunsheng felt relieved when he saw her firm attitude.

He Yunsheng didn't know what was going on. He kept chattering all the way, acting more like a nanny than the nanny did.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Mr. Fan is too cunning and is used to telling lies." He Yunsheng kept talking, "What's so good about a man like that? You were blind to fall in love with him in the first place. In my opinion, General Feng Yun is the one who is truly worthy of admiration..."

He Yan was listening to He Yunsheng talking, but he didn't listen. He paused and interrupted his chatter, "What does this have to do with Xiao Jue?"

"Isn't Mr. Xiao good-looking?" He Yunsheng asked.

She is so elegant and graceful, there is no one like her in the world, and there is really nothing wrong with her.

"Hmm... looks good."

"So what's his family background like?"

The Xiao family is a family of military generals. General Xiao Zhongwu once accompanied the late emperor in conquering the vast empire and was a favorite of the late emperor. The general's wife is the niece of the empress dowager. The eldest son Xiao Jing is already a Fengyi doctor at a young age. The second son Xiao Jue is even more famous for his official position. He is now the governor of the right army, the famous General Fengyun.

"As rich as Tao Bai."

"What are my literary and military skills?"

"… one in a million, extraordinary and unique."

"That's it," He Yunsheng came to a conclusion, "Such a good-looking man, from a wealthy family, and a man who is unique and elegant, isn't he worthy of admiration? If I were a woman, I would only admire him in my life!"

He Yan: "...please shut up."

Although Xiao Jue has many good qualities, his cold temper that can make people angry is really not commendable. Moreover, there are so many women who admire him. I am afraid that there is no woman in Wei who does not admire him. Has he looked at anyone more? No. This man is very arrogant in his heart. His standards are as high as his appearance. I am afraid that no one can catch his eye. Would he like me? No way.

I don’t know what kind of beautiful and charming girl he will choose in the future, who will be the envied beauty of all ages.

He Yan actually yearned for it.

At this moment, He Yunsheng suddenly stopped and asked, "What are you doing in front?"

There was something that looked like a notice on a stone wall not far from the road, and many people were gathered in front of it. He Yan and He Yunsheng walked a few steps closer, and when they saw clearly what was written on it, they understood: "It turned out to be a conscription document."

"Hasn't it been a long time since we last recruited soldiers? Why are we recruiting soldiers suddenly?" He Yunsheng was suspicious.

He Yan understood that she and Xiao Jue had spent several years to pacify the chaos in the Western Qiang and Southern Man tribes, but they had neglected the neighboring country of Wutuo. The people of Wutuo had grown stronger in the past few years and could no longer hide their ambitions. After she married into the Xu family, she had been paying attention to the Northwest Fortress. This time, she was probably going to Liangzhou to guard it and train the new soldiers.

As He Yunsheng looked at it, he suddenly tore off a piece of the conscription notice on the wall and put it in his arms.

He Yan asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"…I don't want to do anything, I just want to keep it as a souvenir." He Yunsheng said hesitantly: "It's a pity that I can't go into battle and kill the enemy now. If I were older and my martial arts skills were better, I would also like to join the army."

He Yan smiled when he heard this, "Joining the army is not an easy thing. You have to endure the hardships of the wind and sand, and watch people around you sacrifice themselves. You have to be prepared to fall down at any time on the battlefield. If you don't even dare to kill a fish... how can you kill people?"

He Yunsheng was speechless after being blocked for a while and said, "You talk as if you have been there."

He Yan walked home with him, just lowering his head and smiling.

Of course she had been there. In fact, she was the same age as He Yunsheng at that time.

The Fuyue Army was recruiting soldiers at that time and was heading to Mo County. She had another big fight with He Yuansheng, so she secretly packed up some money and clothes at night, took her mask with her and went to join the army.

The name used is He Rufei.

No one expected He Rufei to join the army, not even the He family. It was not until He Yan won his first battle, was promoted, and received a reward that the He family heard about it.

The days of joining the army were not as smooth as others thought. As a girl in her teens, she had to be careful not to be exposed, and she had to compete with men who were stronger than her. She couldn't cry or say anything on the battlefield. She was often scolded by the generals, and sometimes she couldn't say anything when her military achievements were stolen. She had to smile and pour tea for her superiors.

He Yan felt that before she joined the army, she was a taciturn, dull girl who kept everything to herself. After she joined the army, she truly learned how to grow up.

Apart from life and death, everything else is trivial. Being alive is good enough. General Fei Hong replaced the young lady from the He family. From then on, she persevered step by step, unable to tell anyone about her pain.

Sometimes she thought that the name of General Feihong was so closely connected with her life that when she saw the conscription notice that He Yunsheng had put into his arms, she was not as calm as she seemed.

He Yunsheng noticed He Yan's sudden silence and thought that she had suddenly come to her senses and was thinking about Fan Cheng. After returning home, he gave He Yan some detailed instructions before returning to his room.

Qingmei had already left, and the notice that He Yunsheng had torn off was still on the table. Under the oil lamp, the thin piece of paper weighed heavily on He Yan's heart.

After being busy with the affairs of the He family for so long, now that she has money and He Yunsheng has found a school, she should also plan for herself. How to get close to He Rufei, this is a problem. Now she has no power, no influence, and no one will listen to what she says.

In her previous life, when she was He Rufei and when she was Grandma Xu, she only knew how to wield swords and sticks, and knew nothing about conspiracy or overt conspiracy. Even if she were to be reborn, she would not be able to do those dirty and sinister things.

What does she have? She only has this life. What can she do? She can only go into battle and kill the enemy.

But what can she do now?

He Yan's eyes fell on the conscription notice. The few short lines of words made her heart surge, as if she was back to the time when she was fifteen years old. She took the money and a bag, ran to the conscription camp in the dark, and wrote her name. From then on, her military career began.

Everything has to start over again.

This is the worst way, but also the best solution.

She wanted to start over under the name He Yan.
