Chapter 22: Best Friends

On 10 December, the brothers and sisters returned to Byronsburg under the escort of the Bujin cavalry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It happened to be the name day of the Ilibi settlement of Buta, where Maier and his family were going to attend a banquet hosted by the locals, and the Pershings were there. He and Yan Zhiliang went back to Liangyue City to discuss business with their family, and they were not in Bairensburg. So when the two came back, there were no acquaintances to greet them, and the scene was unusually deserted.

The two went home, went back to their rooms, and did not come out in the evening.

Early the next morning, He Yanxin was worried about his brother's situation, so he went to knock on He Yan Zhiheng's door. In the past, when He Yan Xin entered He Yan Zhiheng's room at night, he never knocked on the door, and the servants of the Yan family didn't know what happened between the two, so they all thought it was very strange, but they didn't talk much.

He Yan Zhiheng heard a knock on the door, and said "enter" indifferently. He Yanxin opened the door at night and saw his brother lying on the bed in the clothes he had come back in, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Brother Zhiheng, it's time to eat."

"Oh."

He Yan Zhiheng made a sound, but his body was motionless. When He Yanxin saw that his brother didn't look at him, he felt a pain in his heart, and held back his tears and left the room. He Yan Zhiheng didn't come out to eat that day, he asked the servant to bring breakfast into the room, and then there was no movement, and only in the evening did he let the servant take away half of the remaining breakfast.

Meier and Pershing did not return until the evening of December 11, and by the time they learned that He Yan Zhiheng and He Yan Xin had arrived at Bairensburg on the night of the 12th. The two made an appointment to go to the residence of the Heyan family after lunch, and then came to the Heyan's house with their families after lunch.

On the 12th, the Kazuyan house was still very quiet. He Yan Zhiheng and He Yan Xin locked themselves in their rooms and didn't come out at night, and they didn't even eat breakfast. The servants were worried, but both said they were fine, and the servants were not in a position to say anything more.

The servants were delighted by the arrival of Maier and Pershing, who immediately informed the siblings of the news. Normally, as soon as he and Yan Zhiheng heard Maier's name, he would immediately rush out of the room, but today he lingered in the room for a long time before coming out. He Yan Xinye said that he was a little unwell and did not come out to entertain guests.

As soon as Pershing heard that the righteous girl was not feeling well, he immediately sent someone to find the witch. Maier said that he could use Leitin's magic to treat her, and Pershing nodded, but in order to be on the safe side, he still sent someone to find the witch. As soon as his people left the door of the Heyan family, Heyan Zhiheng, with a withered face, came out.

"Mel...... Master Pershing......"

His voice felt like he had lost his soul, and it made a chill run through Myer's back. He immediately stepped forward and shook He Yan Zhiheng's hands and asked him with concern.

"Zhiheng, what's going on?!"

He Yan Zhiheng looked at Pershing, then at the families of the two, and shook his head weakly.

“…… It's okay, I'm just too tired. ”

"Are you really okay?"

“…… Well. ”

"Let me show you."

Maier brought Kazuyan to his seat, pressed his shoulders to sit him down, and examined him with Lighting's magic. The results of the examination were similar to what Yan Zhiheng said, he was indeed just too tired. Mel gave him a stimulating healing skill that accelerated his physical recovery.

"You haven't had a break these days, okay?"

He Yan Zhiheng nodded indifferently, he turned Lian Lian in the direction of Meier's family, and found that Maier's personal maids were only Qiqi and Xiaoye.

“…… Mel, what about the birds? ”

"Huh?"

The topic with Yan Zhiheng jumped so quickly that Maier almost couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

"Oh, you mean the birds. A while ago, the bird suddenly said that he wanted to be a musketeer, do you remember the test gun in Egusburg? The birdie shot all three times to the heart, which scared everyone present. When I saw that she had made up her mind, I set her free and told her to report to the musket unit. ”

Of course, he remembered the fact that the bird tried the gun, because it was there that he fell in love with the bird. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and looked into Mel's eyes with a determined gaze and said.

"Meier, I want to be a musketeer too."

"Huh?"

"Even if you don't want to be a musketeer, I want to join your army, starting as a soldier."

He Yan Zhiheng's eyes regained some brilliance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I want to be a general who commands thousands of troops. I used to think that as long as I followed you and learned more from you, I could achieve my dreams. But now I find out that I was wrong, and a would-be general can't even be in the army, let alone afraid of seeing blood, because then he can't lead troops to war. ”

And what Yan Zhiheng's physique is, Maier couldn't be clearer. At present, the army of Byronsburg is taking the route of elite soldiers, and the amount of training is very large every day, and it is impossible to pass the selection with the physique of Yan Zhiheng. In fact, Birdie's physique is not enough to pass the selection, but she has excellent shooting talent, so she was admitted to the newly formed musket unit.

"Zhiheng, I didn't mean to belittle you, but your current physical condition is not up to the admission standards of the regular army. Even if you take care of your body, if you want to meet the admission standards of the regular army, you will have to train for a while. It's better to wait for your body to recover, first go to the city defense force or security force to take the exam, and if you pass the exam, first train in the city defense force or security force for a period of time. What do you think of your physical condition when you meet the admission standards of the regular army, and then go to the regular army assessment? ”

"Yes."

He Yan Zhiheng nodded, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Pershing's men returned with two shrine maidens. Although Maier can use Leting's magic to check on Yan Xinye's body, he is not a medical professional after all. Just in case, he asked Zhu Wunu to give He Yan Zhiheng a physical examination, and then used his abilities to help him speed up his physical recovery.

Another shrine maiden was taken by Pershing to Yan Xinye's room. In fact, He Yan Xinye didn't feel uncomfortable, she didn't come out to entertain the guests, just because she knew that He Yan Zhiheng didn't want to see her. In case He Yan Zhiheng's abnormal performance makes everyone suspicious and exposes the relationship between the two, the face of the Yan family will be over.

He Yan Xinye didn't want to undergo a physical examination, but she didn't want to waste Pershing's kindness, so she asked Zhu Wunu to give her a physical examination. After giving He Yan Xinye a physical examination, Zhu Wunu's brows furrowed deeply. She hurriedly left the room, found the companion who had just applied the ability to He Yan Zhiheng, and asked her to check He Yan Xinye again.

After the second inspection was done, the other witch also frowned deeply. She cautiously asked about He Yanxinye's age, and asked her if she had a fiancé. He Yan Xinye answered truthfully, and after that, the faces of the two witches became worse.

The two looked at everyone in embarrassment and asked who were the relatives of He Yan Xinye. He Yan Zhiheng raised his hand weakly, and Pershing said that he was He Yan Xinye's father-in-law, and He Yan Zhiheng was her brother. Zhu Wunu hesitated for a moment, and then asked He Yan Zhiheng to take them to a room where no one was around, and no one else was allowed to eavesdrop. Everyone felt strange when they saw this, thinking that He Yan Xinye's physical condition was not optimistic, and they couldn't help but worry.

Five minutes later, the two shrine maidens came out of He Yan Zhiheng's bedroom. They bowed to everyone, but they refused to explain the physical condition of He Yan Xinye, and then left in a hurry. Seeing that He Yan Zhiheng did not come out, Maier walked into his room quickly and saw He Yan Zhiheng standing in place.

He Yan Xinye is pregnant. Although the time was only more than a month, and there was no pregnancy reaction, in the face of the abilities of the witches, this embryo, which had only developed for a little more than a month, was still discovered.

Getting pregnant without a fiancé, even if this kind of thing is placed in the ancient people, can only be announced after the two parties are officially engaged. This is true even of the most open of the Ducs, not to mention the attitudes of other races towards such things. Zhu Wunu didn't want to damage He Yan Xinye's face, so she only told her blood relatives about it.

Pershing was worried about the righteous daughter's body, so he stayed with Rui Ding and Yan Xinye, and did not go to ask Yan Zhiheng about the situation. After Mel walked into Yan Zhiheng's room, his fiancées tried to go in as well, but Mel closed the door. The reason why he did this was very simple, that is, after He Yan Zhiheng found out that he entered the house, he knelt directly in front of him. His lips kept moving after that, but he didn't make a sound. Maier didn't want others to see He Yan Zhiheng's appearance, so he closed the door.

"Zhiheng, don't be in a hurry, tell me slowly, what's wrong with Sister Xinye's body?"

"Xinye...... Xinye she ...... Xinye she is pregnant......"

This answer made Maier, who knew Taeyong culture extremely well, "buzz" in his head, and before he could come to his senses, He Yan Zhiheng's next sentence almost made him faint.

"Kid...... The child is my ......"

Maier is not a relative of He Yan Xinye, but he has a deep friendship with the He Yan family. For him, the affairs of the Yan family are his own business, so the fact that He Yan Xinye was pregnant with Yan Zhiheng's child gave him a big blow. However, Maier was Maier after all, and he quickly came to his senses, pressed Heyan Zhiheng's shoulder, and asked him what he thought.

If He Yan Zhiheng and He Yan Xinye are truly in love, even if Maier does not support such a marriage, he will still provide the two with the conditions for elopement, because he is friends with Yan Zhiheng. However, He Yan Zhiheng couldn't even say a complete sentence, which made Maier have a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

"You don't need to think about anything right now! Just need to answer me one question! Do you want to marry Sister Xinye!? ”

Mel's voice was not loud, but his tone was sharper than a knife. He Yan Zhiheng was stunned by Meier's words and shook his head blankly. After receiving the answer, Mel felt a pang of headaches. He thought for half a minute, and then left He Yan Zhiheng's bedroom directly and went to Yan Xinye's bedroom to find another party.

When everyone saw Maier come out of Yan Zhiheng's bedroom, their faces were pale, and no one dared to talk to him. He came to Yan Xinye's room and invited Pershing and Ryding out of the room. When there were only two of them left in the room, he truthfully explained the results of He Yan Xinye's physical examination to the parties.

After that, Maier walked out of the bedroom directly with He Yan Xinye, whose lips had lost blood, and walked into He Yan Zhiheng's bedroom again under the stunned gaze of everyone, and closed the door again.

He sat the siblings on the bed, keeping a distance from each other. He stood in front of the two, his eyes moved from his brother to his sister, and then from his sister to his brother, and finally sighed helplessly.

"The problem has happened, and now I solemnly ask you, do you want to get married, or do you want to solve the problem by other means?"

He Yan Xinye wanted to get married, but she knew that her brother would not marry her. He Yan Zhiheng wanted to choose the second option, but he couldn't say such things in front of his sister.

"Answer my question!"

Mayer's voice frightened both of them, and Yan Xinye bit his lip and replied with the sharp pain oozing from his heart.

“…… We want to solve the problem in other ways. ”
