The capital city has been peaceful these days, but there are undercurrents in the court. Spring has finally come to an end, and after the beginning of summer, the rain seems endless, and the whole city is shrouded in mist and rain.

Xiao Huaijin, the governor of the right army, volunteered to be the commander and led the new soldiers to Liangzhou. As soon as Xiao Huaijin left, the situation in the court changed again. The prince's party was very proud, and the word "happy" was almost written on their faces.

Ordinary people have no access to the affairs of the court, and they continue to live the daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt. A few days ago, the young master of the Fan family in the capital was murdered, and the murderer has not been found until now. The Fan family searched everywhere for the murderer but failed, so they vented their anger on Mrs. Fan. Who knew that Mrs. Fan’s family, the Chengwulang family, was not an idle family. After waiting for a long time, after the seventh day of Fan Cheng’s death, they forced Mr. Fan to write a letter of divorce and take his daughter back to the family. Tang Ying is now in her prime, and her husband died just after she got married. How can the Tang family let her become a widow at such a young age? Naturally, they have to plan for her future. She and Fan Cheng have no children, so the Fan family can do nothing.

In contrast, He Yan, who was killed along with Fan Cheng and drowned in the Chunlai River and whose body has not been found until now, seemed to have become an insignificant supporting role in this accident, not even qualified to be discussed. Except for the He family, no one mentioned her, as if He Yan had never existed in this world.

The rain was getting heavier, and He Yunsheng went out wearing a hat. After He Yan's accident, he stopped going to the academy for the time being. He Yan told him to go to Liuquanju to get the letter in five days. Today was the tenth day, and He Yunsheng finally found a chance to go out. He was afraid that the Fan family would be watching him outside, and the opportunity that He Yan had fought for for their He family with great difficulty could not be ruined in his hands.

He had checked everywhere in the house these days, and only dared to go out after seeing that all the Fan family members who were monitoring the He family had left. He changed into an old set of clothes so as not to attract attention, lowered his head and wore a hat, and went out through the back door, walking into the rain.

During these ten days, He Yunsheng's life was worse than death, and he couldn't fall asleep every night. He wanted to hear news about He Yan, but he was also afraid to hear news about He Yan. Fortunately, ten days had passed, and the government hadn't caught He Yan yet. Perhaps from another perspective, He Yan was safe.

But he couldn't help thinking, He Yan is still in the capital, where can she go? She has no friends except the He family, she must be wandering outside. I don't know if she eats well, sleeps well, and is she bullied? Thinking of this, He Yunsheng's steps became faster.

Liuquanju was named Liuquanju because there was a spring at the back door of the tavern, and next to the spring was a row of willow trees. There were not many people in the tavern on this rainy day, and no one paid attention to He Yunsheng when he entered.

He still remembered what He Yan said at that time.

"Go to the west of the city and there is a tavern called Liuquanju. There is a row of willow trees in front of the tavern. Find the third willow tree from the left and dig three inches down. I will leave a letter for you there."

He Yunsheng squatted down.

The third tree from the left, dig three villages down.

The soil he dug out was still wet from the rain. As he dug, his fingers touched something hard. He Yunsheng's mind moved, and his hands moved faster. After a while, he dug out an oil paper bag. He did not open it immediately, but put the oil paper bag into his arms, quickly filled the soil he dug out, and then turned around and left the tavern.

After leaving, he trotted back home. When he got home, He Sui was not there, so He Yunsheng went back to his room, locked the door, and took out the paper bag.

He had been keeping it in his arms, so the paper package did not get wet and was protected cleanly. He Yunsheng opened the paper package with trembling hands and saw what was inside.

There is a piece of clothing and a letter.

He Yunsheng opened the letter first. It seemed that the letter was written in a hurry. It was a piece of paper picked up casually. The handwriting was sloppy and wrinkled. It should be the flowery paper used to wrap snacks for others. There were oil stains on it. On the plain side, there were a few lines of large and graceful characters written with a wood ash pen.

"I have joined the army and am going to Liangzhou. The mountains are long and the waters are vast, so I am sorry that I cannot describe them all. After the cold spring, the hot summer will follow. I hope you will take good care of yourself. When we meet again someday, please take care of yourself."

He Yunsheng stared blankly at the words at first, as if he didn't recognize them. After a moment, he finally understood. He gritted his teeth and went to get the clothes.

The clothes were summer shirts made by an old tailor. When He Yan said goodbye to him that day, they each wore one for disguise. He Yan folded the shirt neatly and sent it back.

The material was very cool. When I touched it, I seemed to see again the cool smile on the girl's face and her soothing words that day.

"Don't worry, we'll see each other again."

The room was completely silent.

After a moment, someone choked up.

"fraud……"

…

He Yan, who was called a liar, didn't know at this moment that he was being scolded behind his back.

Speaking of which, we are now on the road from the capital to Liangzhou. This time, we recruited less than 20,000 soldiers, and there were new soldiers joining along the way. Now that summer has arrived, it has become difficult to travel. It was okay to get up early and set off, but by noon, I was sweating profusely.

Hong Shan sat on the grass, chewing some dry food, fanning himself with a leaf, and grimaced in the heat: "Damn it, it's too hot today. When will the trail end?"

"It will take more than two months to get to Liangzhou from here," He Yan poured water into his mouth, "take your time."

"I miss the green bean soup in Beijing," Xiao Mai smacked his lips. "Pour it into a bowl after it's ready, let it soak in the well for a few hours, then sprinkle some sugar on it. It's sweet and cool, and it really quenches your thirst!"

He described it in such detail that everyone who listened to him swallowed their saliva.

"Don't talk about it. You're a soldier, so don't even think about eating mung bean soup. It's good enough if you're not hungry." Hong Shan sighed. "If you want to eat it, you may have to wait until you get an award or a promotion, just like Commander Xiao."

Speaking of Xiao Jue, He Yan laughed inwardly.

She joined the army and followed everyone to Liangzhou. They traveled day and night and slept in tents in the wild at night. Even so, she didn't even see Xiao Jue. He and his men rode in the front, and they must have stayed in a different tent than the soldiers at night. In addition, when they were in Xianchang Pavilion, He Yan knew that Xiao Jue was the most particular person. The second son of the Xiao family was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the princess was not necessarily so meticulous in food, clothing and expenses.

I think even though he is on the road now, his life is much more comfortable than theirs.

They were both young generals, but they had different fates. After starting over, she actually became a soldier under him. He Yan sighed. Who would believe this if she told him so? She wanted to gain military merits and get promoted quickly, but Xiao Jue was very picky. It was not easy to make a name for herself as a soldier under him.

How can I run? I've already been registered in the military, so I can only wait and see.
