"I just said that my husband was too timid, and asked me to entertain another woman, and asked me to treat her with courtesy, bah! I'm going to let him sleep on the floor at night, just because you are here..."
A cheerful Xianbei woman snuggled up beside He Mulan and said with a smile, "Let that guy go under the quilt. However, I want to sleep with you at night."
Su Hejun rolled his eyes from being run by his wife, looked at the two excited children, and scolded with a smile: "You shameless, you don't know how to save me face in front of the children. Eagle Erluer, go and salute your Aunt Hua."
The two children happily "okay", holding hands and kneeling in front of He Mulan, leaning over and bowing: "Su He Ying/Su He Lu, I have seen Aunt Hua. Long time no see, Aunt Hua is still the same!"
He Mulan was taken aback by this posture, and then suddenly remembered that the two children, Su and Jun, seemed to have met Hua Mulan before, and Hua Mulan got along very well with them. She didn't have any greetings on her body either. After touching it, she took out the night pearl.
"Aunt Hua's packhorse ran away on the road to hide from the bad guys. She didn't bring anything with her. Let's play with it." He Mulan was a little embarrassed. If two children only give one thing, wouldn't they force them to fight? "This is the night pearl."
"Thank you, Aunt Hua!" The two children took the night pearl without disdain, and the elder brother Su and Ying handed the pearl to the younger sister, and then bent over and said, "You said to see me next time, if I grow to your chest height, Teach me how to shoot!"
"Hey, let's see, are you that tall?" He Mulan visually observed that the child wasn't that tall, stood up and measured it beside him. "A little bit more."
Looking at the child who suddenly became depressed, He Mulan was in a good mood. She touched his head and encouraged, "You have to eat more and practice martial arts more so that you will grow taller."
"You bastard, for my son's sake, can't make an exception!" Su Hejun held injustice for his son. "He's already eaten hard, and he's grown sideways. He's only eight years old. Do you think he can grow to the height of your chest?"
"Haha, that won't work, a gentleman promises a lot of money." He Mulan smiled and suggested Su Hejun, "You can let your son learn archery with you..."
"Don't! My father's archery is terrible!" Su Heying pouted, "You can break the target, he can't even penetrate the target!"
"Hey, how many people do you think can break the target!" Su Hejun patted his head.
A few people laughed and joked. This Su Hejun's wife seemed to be an admirer of Hua Mulan in the past. She leaned on He Mulan without saying a word, and the tone was so intimate that He Mulan got goosebumps. Jump.
A-Dan Zhuo is also very popular with his husband and wife. After knowing that he is the son of A-Dan Zhiqi, the respected fire chief of Hua Mulan, both of them gave him a greeting and treated him according to the etiquette of a son and nephew.
Su Hejun still wanted to talk to Hua Mulan, so he suggested that his wife take the child and lead Adanzhuo to go around the yard and look at the guest room.
A-Danzhuo and He Mulan went out to travel for a while, and they were already stunned with a little eyesight. As soon as Su and his wife spoke, they immediately stood up and held each other, except for the house.
"Your Majesty asked about King Wu, and I told you." Su Hejun said apologetically to He Mulan, "Now His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Wu, and several concubines in the harem all know about you. out again."
"What do you mean I'm coming out again." He Mulan bared her teeth.
It sounded like the wind in a prison.
"That's what everyone thought you would die of old age in the countryside, guarding a few acres of land, being a village woman and dying." Su Hejun laughed at her mercilessly, "Although I also think it's a pity, but..."
He leaned over to her in a very low voice and said, "It's not a good idea for you to come back now. Right now, the court is arguing about Liu Song's expedition, and there are Xianbei nobles from the army who want you to lead the troops. There are people in the palace. It was rumored that the emperor wanted you to be the 'nanny' of his grandson, and the Princess Rouran of His Royal Highness was angry when she heard Hua Mulan's name all day long..."
With a 'nanny', the biological mother will die.
"So, be careful when you go out." He patted her on the shoulder. "Anyway, living in my house can block a lot of people. No one dares to spy on the mansion of Bailuguan."
He Mulan thought that the situation in Beijing was complicated, but did not expect it to be so complicated.
Tuoba Huang said that he didn't want his wife to die, so he wanted to keep his storage position so that his wife would not face the fate of being given death soon.
"You're all the way with the prince now? Did you send Di Yefei there too?" He Mulan asked him suddenly.
"Yeah." Su Hejun answered simply.
"I have a sister of the same clan who was given to His Royal Highness by the emperor. In fact, as early as five years ago, the officer-in-waiting Cao was handed over to the prince, but it was only after His Majesty returned to the capital that he no longer fought, the officer-in-waiting Cao was taken back. Whether I help His Royal Highness or not, I am regarded by everyone as supporting the Prince’s side. Fortunately, His Majesty has no less trust in me, but it is precisely because of this that sometimes I cannot interfere in the affairs of His Royal Highness.”
"Then Di Yefei?"
"Di Yefei's character and background make it difficult to move up. Although the Crown Prince is not as heroic as His Majesty, he is still a kind and generous prince, and people are very light on his background, so I matched Di Ye. Fei led to this road. Who knew that this road suddenly became unreliable... "
Su Hejun's beard will be touched off by himself. "Even Cui Situ is often reprimanded now, and there is a sinister and vicious eunuch in the harem named Zong Ai, who is suddenly favored. His Majesty takes him wherever he goes!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "The fact that Your Majesty wants you to be the 'nanny' of the eldest grandson of the emperor was revealed by this guy."
"This is really strange. Eunuchs are favored or something." He Mulan was very puzzled. Xianbei people despise Duanxiu and eunuchs with extreme contempt, and eunuchs are never regarded as human beings.
Xianbei people attach great importance to men. Men are important members of defending the family and the country, spreading branches and leaves. People with no roots and broken sleeves are regarded as symbols of self-indulgence.
"Who knows how your Majesty could become like this!"
Su Hejun slammed the case a few times. "It's almost like there is a demon at work!"
After Su Hejun finished talking, he realized that he had said too much in front of his friends, and raised his head a little uneasily. "I just said this casually, don't you..."
"Someone knows why His Majesty became like this."
He Mulan spoke suddenly.
"That's what I came for."
"Huh? What did you say?" Su Hejun was taken aback. "Could it be that there are really evildoers at work?"
"Su He-Jun, I'm going to Jinglun Tiangong to find Kou Qianzhi." He Mulan looked at Su He-Jun and had to express her request, "I know you have a solution, please help me."
"Are you saying that His Majesty's personality has changed so much because of Kou Tianshi?" Suhe-jun shook his head, "Impossible, Kou Tianshi lives in a secluded place, unless His Majesty summons him, he has been presiding over the supervision of the Jinglun Temple. This time, His Majesty issued the 'Destruction of Buddha Order', and he was strongly opposed to it, and he also made trouble with Cui Situ for this..."
"No, I didn't say it was the magic trick he used, but he should know the reason." He Mulan didn't talk about her mysterious experience, "Don't ask me why, I just need to see Kou Qianzhi. He is now a national teacher, and I don't want to reveal my identity, so I can only rely on you."
"... He never leaves Jinglun Heavenly Palace now." Su Hejun was persuaded by He Mulan's insistence and replied, "And Jinglun Heavenly Palace, in His Majesty's palace..."
"Can you send me a message?" He Mulan asked.
"Now, even Cui Situ can't see Daochang Kou. Some people say that Daoist Kou is practicing a spell, and some people say that Daoist Kou will live soon. He is in his eighties, and now there are legends everywhere that he has seen Daochang Kou everywhere. Isn't it proof that you are not possessed and wandering outside?" Su Hejun is the king of gossip, and he is very well-informed about these gossips, "You want to see Kou Daochang unless Your Majesty personally orders it."
He Mulan thought for a while with a blank face, and suddenly asked, "Then you can send me to the palace, okay?"
Egret officials can walk freely among various ministries, supervise hundreds of officials, and there are many yamen in the palace. It is naturally possible to enter as an Egret official.
Only He Mulan dared to make such a request based on the good relationship between Hua Mulan and Su Hejun. You must know that if an assassin enters, Su and Junmanmen are in danger.
This is simply testing Su Hejun's trust in Mulan.
"Mulan, why do I think you're weird now." Su Hejun looked at her suspiciously. "You and Daochang Kou shouldn't have anything to do with each other. If your Majesty's personality has changed drastically, Daoist Master Kou knows why, why doesn't he want to stop it..."
"He figured out a way. He came to my house to find me!" He Mulan said. "I don't know why he couldn't leave the Jinglun Heavenly Palace and come to me, just as you said, it seems to be his wandering soul."
Su Hejun widened his eyes.
"Actually, I came to Pingcheng because this matter was too unbelievable. I had seen Kou Daochang at home, but then..."
He Mulan omits the experience in the fantasy world and recounts what he has seen.
"You said, am I going to Jinglun Temple to find him?"
"… Find!"
***
He Mulan wore the official uniform of an egret official and walked in the Pingcheng Palace behind Su Hejun.
Although the scale of the Pingcheng Palace is not huge, it has all the buildings that the ancestral temple and Jiji should have. If He Mulan is allowed to run around in it alone, the Jinglun Heavenly Palace will not be found 100%.
Because the emperor believed in Taoism, even the Taoist title was called "Tai Ping Zhenjun", so Jinglun Temple was built in the palace to sense the heaven and man and pray for the royal family and the world. As the national teacher, Kou Qianzhi supervised the construction of this Taoist temple and presided over all the dharma affairs.
It's just that the Jinglun Heavenly Palace has not yet been built. Only the main palace and an altar have been built. Other side halls and temples are still under construction. The place where the Tiangong is located has become the most lively part of the Pingcheng Palace.
Because it was not the Taihua Palace where the emperor was located, nor was it an important place such as the harem, so Jun Su and He Mulan easily passed the inspection by the guards at the gate of the palace, and went all the way to the Jinglun Heavenly Palace in the West Palace. .
He Mulan lowered her head and didn't dare to look around, but Su Hejun had a relaxed expression, and when she met a familiar official on the road, she stayed to chat, which made He Mulan dare not take a breath.
"Why are you talking so much!" After He Mulan waited for Su Hejun to send an adult away, he complained a little. "I'm scared to death."
"I'm usually exquisite and slender, but today I suddenly look heavy, isn't it abnormal?" Su Hejun said with a smile, "Don't worry, even if you are found out that you are not an egret official, but someone I brought, others will not dare to What are you asking? I'm the head of the egrets in the world, and it's not uncommon for His Majesty to ask me to sneak someone in."
"Huh? Does it happen often?"
"... not very often in recent years."
Su Hejun's tail suddenly drooped down.
The Jinglun Tiangong is really big. In a place like Pingcheng Palace, half of the entire West Palace is occupied by it. It is no wonder that it has been repaired for so many years.
Pingcheng rarely builds large-scale construction projects. For a Taoist temple that reaches the sky, it takes so much manpower and material resources. What Taoist method does Kou Qianzhi have that can attract the determined Tuoba Tao to be so crazy
He Mulan suddenly thought of King Zhou's Lutai, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
Su Hejun took He Mulan all the way into the "construction site" of Jinglun Temple, passed through the open area surrounded by wooden pillars and stones, and finally reached the gate of the main hall.
The only repaired part of this huge Taoist temple was the thousand-foot-high altar and the majestic main hall. He Mulan frowned at just a glance.
She passed by from the Taihua Hall. The main hall of this Jinglun Temple is taller than the Taihua Hall. Could it be that Kou Qianyi is not afraid of the emperor at all
"It's so high because Taihua Hall is often struck by lightning. Daochang Kou said that this main hall is used to attract thunder, absorb the qi between heaven and earth, and send it into the altar." Seeing her, Jun Su He couldn't help turning his head to look back. She knew what she was thinking, and answered for her for Daochang Kou.
"The road down here is not easy to go." Su Hejun shook his head, "These Dao soldiers are not so easy to persuade.".
"Tianshi does not see guests." Several Taoist soldiers stood guard at the entrance of the main hall. "The Celestial Master is retreating."
"I know that Tianshi is retreating, but I have something important to do... Hua Mulan, what are you doing!" Su Hejun looked at the few Taoist soldiers who were knocked out in trepidation.
"I want to go in." He Mulan couldn't wait to walk all the way. When he saw the familiar building right in front of him, he had to fight with these people, and impatiently knocked them out on the spot.
"When I go to see Kou Qianzhi, I will tell him about knocking out his disciples and grandchildren."
He Mulan bowed to Su Hejun.
"I'm going, thank you."
"I'll wait for you at the door for a while, you have to hurry up."
Su Hejun looked at a few fainted Dao soldiers, "Go, if someone comes, I can cover up for you."
He Mulan didn't talk too much, just turned around and left. On the road, I met a few Taoist soldiers who came to ask questions, and they were all concocted according to the law.
He Mulan took a deep breath and finally pushed open the door of the main hall.
Gala la la la la la la.
The unguarded main hall was just open in front of He Mulan.
She stepped in and found that it was dark inside. She had to follow the memory in the illusion, and while looking for the direction of the same roof, she opened her mouth and shouted: "Is there Daochang Kou?"
“Available at…”
“Available at…”
"exist… "
There were endless echoes in the vast palace, He Mulan paused, and a lingering sense of unease came to his heart.
She really thought that Kou Qianzhi might have a solution, but if Kou Qianzhi really wanted to change Wei and His Majesty, why didn't he come out to see her in an upright manner
"Because I'm dying..."
An old voice suddenly descended from above He Mulan's head.
He Mulan was horrified and looked up.
…
what is that
Huge wheels
"Kou..."
"Mulan, your three souls are incomplete, so you have no sense of belonging. The answers you are looking for are all here. I would like to help you and let you start over again according to your own ideas. Only you can find the real answer. Only then will I return to the Three Realms…”
The wheel was pushed lower and lower, and He Mulan ran away, only to find that there was no difference between up and down, left and right, as in an illusion, and immediately screamed in fright:
"You foolish Taoist, what is this strange thing..."
The golden wheel was pressed down, and the surroundings were silent.
Only a sigh remained.
***
When He Mulan woke up, she slept in an unfamiliar room.
Not his own house, nor the two rooms of Hua's house. The house looked as if she had lived in it for many years, and she still slept on the ground, with no bed and no table.
She got up in a daze and looked around. There was a loom under the window, and a long gun hung on the wall, but it didn't look out of place.
Wear it again
Where the hell did the Taoist send her to
He Mulan looked at the apparently delicate skin and frowned.
what's the situation
Suddenly, the sound of horses running came from outside the door. That horse was in such a hurry, it was like running from a long distance, and it would never stay here for too long.
This scene was so strange that He Mulan had to be extremely cautious. He moved gently to the door, quietly opened a crack in the door, and looked outside.
Outside is the hall, but there is still no movement outside the door.
But the man on the horse's shocking sentence made He Mulan fall to the ground in shock.
"Huaishuo Huahu, come out to pick up the military stickers from the military mansion!"
The author has something to say: Hahahaha, are you scared? The next volume is what everyone likes to read.
He Mulan's military trip! Please support genuine!
small theater:
Su Hejun: I'll wait for you at the door for a while, you have to hurry up.
…
Su Hejun: (crying face) Where are the people? How about a while
