Tuoba Tao was doomed to not sleep well tonight.
The chiefs of Wei State, Sun Han and Xi Jin, led 8,000 cavalry to pursue Helianchang, but they did not catch up with Gaoping, so they had to go back to Tongwancheng.
Tongwancheng was taken down, but because Tuoba Tao demanded that the entire city be under martial law, and that it was forbidden to enter or leave the outer and inner cities, Wei's soldiers could only endure fatigue and continue to guard the four gates, and did not dare to run around. Tuoba Tao's resident guards were exhausted to death, and they slept all over the palace looking for spare palace rooms.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have brought back the guards of the Wuying Hall!" A group of the guards happily brought their surviving companions into the Ziji Hall.
"General Kumoti's bodyguards also discovered Heliandin's son!"
"What? Helianding's son? Didn't all of Helianding's family chop up for Helianchang? Where did Hua Mulan find it?"
Tuoba Tao was very surprised.
"Hurry up and announce that Mulan and Helianding's sons will enter the hall!"
He Mulan, Su Wei and the others were already sick of staying in the gloomy and dark place like Wuying Hall. They finally got through until the Wei army captured the palace, and immediately went out of the hall to look for His Majesty's presence. a few small leaders.
He Mulan was Kumoti's personal guard, and Kumoti's status was precious, and his personal guard was like a confidant, so he was naturally treated with courtesy. When they heard that He Mulan had actually found Helianding's son from the Wuying Hall, they were even more in awe.
In a place like Wuying Hall, where there are dead people everywhere, they are still running around and finding clues, which is really fierce!
He Mulan led Helian Zhishui and Zhao Ming outside the hall to prepare to enter the door. Zhao Ming begged bitterly at the door, to the effect that he did not dare to see the emperor of Wei, and hoped that he would not enter. What Tuoba Tao announced were Helian Ding's son and Hua Mulan. Seeing that he was really frightened, He Mulan did not force her, and took Helian Zhishui into the hall alone.
Helian Zhishui looks quite similar to Helianding, but his facial features are more delicate than Helianding, probably because his mother is a Han Chinese. Although he was only ten years old, he didn't show any signs of timidity and fear. When he saw Tuoba Tao's generous salute, he told him his name.
If He Mulan hadn't seen the scene where he drew his knife to face each other, struggled desperately, and cried in grief, he would almost have thought that Helian Zhishui was a calm and generous child in the face of danger.
Tuoba Tao was very happy after seeing Helian Zhishui, and Helian Zhishui found that Tuoba Tao was indeed a magnanimous and hearty monarch as He Mulan said, and he was relieved. When it was known that Helian Zhishui was the great grandson of Zhang Yuan, the Grand Historian of the Xia Kingdom, Tuoba Tao laughed and asked someone to bring Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan is also a strange man. He set up a series of plans to let Helianchang escape from Tongwan successfully, but he did not escape, but ordered the whole family to wear linen and filial piety, and wait in his house for the day when the army broke the city.
Tuoba Tao listened to He Mulan's words. After capturing Tongwan City, he did not indulge the army to loot Tongwan. Instead, by assigning tasks such as attacking Miyagi and guarding the four gates, these soldiers could not rest and not think about sweeping and other things. .
So Zhang Yuan sat at home in mourning clothes for a long time, not waiting for the soldiers who came to loot the city, but waited for the envoy of Wei who politely invited him into the palace.
Zhang Yuan entered the palace and saw his great-grandson. The two of them hugged each other and cried, so they didn't say any more. Tuoba Tao and He Mulan smiled and watched the old and the young cry with joy.
Helian Zhishui was taken into Zhang Mansion by Zhang Yuan when he was very young. He was almost brought up by Zhang Yuan with his own feces and urine, and his feelings were naturally deep. In addition, Zhang Yuan is now over 60 years old. At the age of 50 years old, he is already a grandfather in his 60s, and it is normal to love great grandsons.
Seeing that Helian Zhishui was not dead, and Tuoba Tao had no intention of dealing with Helian Zhishui, Zhang Yuan knelt down in tears at the old Tuoba Tao:
"The old man designed Wei Jun to send Emperor Xia out of the city for the loyalty of all the old men. Your majesty treats the people kindly and did not let Tongwan become a dead city, which shows your majesty's kindness and wisdom. The old minister is willing to lead his disciples and disciples to return to Wei. , I only pray that Your Majesty can forgive Helian Zhishui and forgive his sins."
Tuoba Tao was most afraid of people crying, so he pulled Zhang Yuan up on the spot and laughed loudly: "I don't know what a ten-year-old child is guilty of. I admire Pingyuan Gong He Lianding very much. He has been unsuccessful in several solicitations, and now he was hit by mistake. He saved his son by mistake, and when I see him next time, I will even have the confidence to surrender!"
He is a straightforward person, and he speaks his plans without any hesitation, nor does he sound like others who clearly want to take others as hostages.
Tuoba Tao showed his intentions as soon as he came up. Helian decided that he must recruit. He was very happy to have Helian Zhishui on his side and would not do anything to him.
"Once the Xia State is recaptured by my Great Wei, the Xia State will be my Wei State in the future, the subjects of the Xia State are my subjects, and the people of the Xia State are my people. I often accept the teachings of the Han people, they say benevolence, Wisdom, propriety, righteousness, and trustworthiness, with these five virtues, can conquer all directions. I have always believed in it. Not to mention a Helian Zhishui, even if Helianchang and Helianding are really caught by me, I will also Treat them politely, let alone slaughter the clan."
Tuoba Tao knew that once the country was wiped out, everyone would be like a frightened bird, and Zhang Yuande was highly respected and had not fallen after several dynasties and generations.
"Now that the Xia Kingdom has been decided, after a war, people's livelihood has been withered, and it is time to do a good job. With Zhang Gong and other high-ranking scholars to help me, I want to come to Xia Kingdom's land next year. New vitality."
Zhang Yuan did not expect that the Xianbei emperor, who was said to be "fighting and brave" by the world, actually knew the way of Confucianism. While he was amazed, he couldn't help feeling and sad, and brought Helian Zhishui to worship together.
"The ministers and others are willing to work for the dog."
This is completely down.
Zhang Yuan didn't have a single soldier or soldier in his hands, and only by occasionally discovering Di Ziyu's intention of defecting, he was able to temporarily design a series of tricks to trap Wei people, and he knew that his wisdom was second to none among the Xia people.
Zhang Yuan was loyal to Fu Jian, the former Qin emperor, and Yao Xing and his son, who were loyal to the latter Qin. When Helianchang defeated Yao Hong, he became loyal to Helianchang.
Although he was loyal to the previous dynasties and to the new emperor every time the country broke down, he was loyal to the emperor in each dynasty, and he had the ability to rule, be able to be a military advisor and make suggestions, and be a capable minister to help the society. Yao Shi and Helian Shi have never neglected him after they got him.
When he arrived at Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Tao had no confidence in recruiting Zhang Yuan, because Zhang Yuan was over 60 this year, and Tuoba Tao's position in the middle of the court was full, and it was impossible for him to climb higher than Taishi Ling. high high. If such a person can't be used, he can't be killed, but if he wants to use him or not, that's just a decoration.
Tuoba Tao was a cheapskate, and he would rather spend every tael of silver on the edge of a knife, rather than spend money to support idlers.
Now Zhang Yuan has surrendered himself willingly, and even brought his disciples and old officials down together...
Xia Kingdom was a rich land in Chang'an, with high gates all over, and being able to recruit this group of high gate people would make Tuoba Tao happier than conquering Tongwancheng.
Helian Zhishui was still young and Tuoba Tao was still on the march, so it was impossible to take Helian Zhishui around, so he arranged for a few Yulin Lang to send Helian Zhishui to the Queen's Palace in Helianchang , the group of women will take care of him temporarily, and when his class teacher returns to Pingcheng, he will go back together.
Helian Zhishui was not familiar with the Empress, but he was more comfortable living next to the Xia people than a group of Wei people. Helian Zhishui thanked him obediently, and followed a few eunuchs to the Kunde Palace.
After Zhang Yuan and Helian Zhishui were sent away, Tuoba Tao excitedly rushed to He Mulan in a few steps, grabbed her hand in the latter's stunned expression, stroked the back of her hand and said with a smile:
"Hua Mulan, you are really a lucky star! I rely on you more when I enter the palace, so I can turn the corner from danger, and when I leave the palace, it is also with you, so that I can make a way out. Now that you have found Helian Zhishui again, I am heartbroken. I'm very happy. I heard that you haven't been with Kumoti for a long time, so why don't you follow me and be a close-knit wardens!"
He Mulan was thrown into this world inexplicably, so he naturally wanted to find the "answer" as soon as possible and return to the Jinglun Heavenly Palace.
But the more she got along with Tuoba Tao, the less she knew what "answer" she was looking for.
If she saw Tuoba Tao's wiseness, she did see it. To say that she saw Tuoba Tao's shortcomings, she also saw a lot. But none of these allowed her to draw any profound "perceptions", let alone find "answers".
Just like now, it is clear that as long as she kneels down to accept his kindness, she can follow him and slowly find a way to go back. At least she can meet Kou Qianzhi and ask what is going on.
But she opened her mouth and said:
"I hope I can continue to serve in the Montenegro camp, guard the border, and resist the creep."
As soon as He Mulan's words came out, the whole hall was silent.
Many of the guards on duty couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing when they heard her answer, probably slandering her ignorance in their hearts.
Why didn't He Mulan know that by doing so, he might anger Tuoba Tao
But she said so naturally.
It had only been more than half a month since she left the Montenegro camp, and she had already started to miss it madly.
She misses her comrades who laughed and cursed and occasionally disconnected;
She misses the soldiers who never stop in the army tent;
She missed the military slaves she took in inexplicably and talked about how many skills Gaocheren taught them;
She missed the smug entourage who called herself "Peanut".
She once promised that "Mulan of the Right Army" would definitely return to the Right Army;
She once swore that she would never let Adan Zhiqi and others step into the nightmare of the past;
She also wanted to find Chen Jie, so that he would not have to cry in his life after the general was disarmed and returned to the field;
She also wanted to see Di Yefei get in touch with Gaoche, bring the Gaoche tribe to surrender, and be his "Marquis of Bowang".
Dream back to blow the corner company.
This sentence was so beautiful that she forgot her wish when she first arrived at Hua's house.
Strangely, when Tuoba Tao heard her answer, he didn't show the same surprised or disapproving expression as the other Su Wei, but nodded.
"Also, it's really boring to be a resident guard by my side."
"I dare not..."
"There is nothing to contradict me. If I were not the emperor, I actually hope to live a day when I wake up to the sound of drums and join hands with my comrades to fight against the enemy. Although there is a road to the sky by my side, but for me For a real hero, perhaps it is the real pleasure to fight for the future with real swords and guns on the battlefield, and to live a life of the same robe as a son."
Tuoba Tao probably regarded Hua Mulan as a person just like him, and even looked at He Mulan with a much gentler look:
"I don't know if you will regret your choice today, but as long as you still want to come to Suweizhong, I can reserve your place for you, and you can come to me at any time."
Such preferential treatment made He Mulan show the expression "I'm scared stupid".
Ke Tuoba Tao may be in a good mood today, so he not only offered such a reward, but even said generously:
"Hua Mulan, you don't want to be my chief guard, then you can bring whatever you want. It's too cheap for someone like you to be Kumoti's personal soldier. If you want to be a soldier in Montenegro General, I can also make you do as you wish."
General
At this time in her previous life, Hua Mulan had already become a miscellaneous general.
But she is still struggling with the guard.
If it weren't for the fact that the camp in Montenegro was waiting for the emperor to watch the "Three Armies Competition", and the elites of the three armies all followed the traces of the crawly people to the emperor's side, she would be unlucky to miss the semi-annual competition and continue to struggle. Below the poverty line…
But how can such a general be able to convince the crowd
She also wanted to return to the Right Army in a dignified manner, and throw away the blood of those who had the face of meritorious officials.
"Your Majesty, I do want to be a general, but I don't want to be a general in this way. I have military merit and martial arts, and I can always be a general based on my own strength."
He Mulan smiled confidently:
"If Your Majesty can really make the humble position come true, can you grant Yueying to the humble position?"
He Mulan requested:
"Beizhi really likes Yueying, not because it is a good horse of Dawan, but its temper is really like the war horse before Biezhi."
"Yueying is just a pony now, and has a very naughty personality. In the battle, he even kicked me off the horse. If you get Yueying, I'm worried that you will stumble before your horse, but it will kill you." Tuoba Tao shook his head. "Well, I'll give you three horses and a hundred taels of gold..."
"Your Majesty, although Yueying has a naughty personality, just because it is young, there is still the possibility of tuning/teaching." He Mulan wanted to fight for one last time.
"If Biezhi really lost his life because of this reason, he can only blame himself for his incompetence, and no one else to blame."
Tuoba Tao stared at He Mulan for a while, and found that she really just wanted to go beyond the shadows, and couldn't help sighing.
"Forget it, if it wasn't for the fact that you knew Yueying's personality and preferences, it might still be a bad horse that is useless now, or it might have been pulled by me to be a stallion. Since you like Yueying so much, then I will give it to him. Give you… "
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you Your Majesty for the reward!"
He Mulan knelt down in surprise and thanked him.
"Yueying is a famous horse, and it is troublesome to raise. I will give you another horse slave and ten bags of black beans. I will also give you the hundred taels of gold. I hope that you will be able to cross famous horses in the future, and create another good story. "
Tuoba Tao was certain that Hua Mulan's future achievements would not be as simple as a personal soldier. In this case, it would be better to give it sooner rather than later, so as to show that his vision was very accurate.
He Mulan only had three golds on her body, and the black beans were only enough to feed her for half a year. She still had dozens of mouths to feed in the camp in Montenegro. Now Tuoba Tao is generous, and she immediately relieved her urgent needs.
She knew that Tuoba Tao was generous and generous, otherwise Hua Mulan would not have received so many rewards when he returned to his hometown for military service 12, but she did not expect him to be so careful, knowing that such a small pawn could not raise a good horse, he even gave it away Manu and black beans for her!
The horse slaves in the Royal Stables are almost equivalent to horse trainers and veterinarians, such "technical talents" are usually within her reach!
He Mulan was extremely surprised and returned to Kumoti.
At this time, Kumoti was in charge of guarding the main palace, where Tuoba Tao should rest. Although the emperor never came to rest, the person who should be guarding should not be negligent.
This is the palace of the Xia Kingdom. It is difficult to say that there is any secret passage. If you encounter an assassin at night, it will really be fatal.
Kumoti was also very tired. He was dozing for a while in a palace room. When He Mulan came, he opened his eyes, wiped his face, and nodded to her.
"I heard what you did, and you did it well."
"what?"
"I asked you to protect Your Majesty, you did a good job."
Kumoti didn't say that he almost went crazy when he saw Tuoba Tao rushing into the north gate.
Not to mention the matter of jumping on the city tower in women's clothes at dusk, and then tearing off the clothes and going down the city wall.
Sometimes he felt that if he didn't go to Montenegro, it would be good to be a fierce general by the emperor's side, but thinking about the things that His Majesty did from time to time, he was lucky that he didn't stay, otherwise he would be scared out of hysteria. !
"I'm just doing my job well."
He Mulan did not dare to take credit.
"Have a good rest tonight. The eunuch you brought back from the Wuying Palace, the Suwei Liu Ni, who was beside the emperor, brought him here. I didn't know you still made friends in the summer palace..."
Kumoti tried it out.
Huh
Why did Liu Ni send a female eunuch to him? If you want to send it, you will also send it to the fourth princess!
He Mulan didn't know that even the "four princesses" were given to Di Ziyu, and she said inexplicably:
"Friend? That palace man was in charge of guarding the corpses of Helianding's family in Wuying Palace. We accidentally broke into Wuying Palace. It was only because she guided us out of the palace that we were able to send His Majesty out of the palace. Later we returned to Wuying. Dian avoided, and he went back when he met her, so he let him in and took care of one or two..."
"Since you saved Your Majesty, that's also a hero. Before Changshi Zhao has settled down these palace servants, you should take care of him for a few days. When Changshi Zhao starts to count the palace staff, someone will arrange him. "
He Mulan was going to say that this was a palace maid, not a eunuch, but then she thought about it, if she was a palace maid, with so many men in the same palace, and Liu Ni saw that kind of misunderstanding, I was afraid that this palace maid would be given a gift for no reason. To be a concubine or something for yourself, it is better to let her disguise like this first, and then think of a way to make her return to her original form when the permanent attendant starts to compile the book.
Thinking of this, He Mulan agreed and went to rest at the place arranged by Kumoti.
He Mulan was injured and was granted permission not to be on duty today. She followed Lu Chi to a small room, pushed the door in, and saw the female eunuch named "Zhao Ming" kneeling in the room uneasily, seemingly staring at her knees in a daze
Hearing He Mulan's push on the door, she immediately raised her head with an "ah" and asked He Mulan:
"General Hua, how is the eldest son of Duke Pingyuan now? Buddha... Has Your Majesty made it difficult for him?"
"You really care about that kid."
He Mulan raised her eyebrows and began to take off her clothes.
"His Majesty didn't embarrass him, he called Zhang Taishi to meet him, and sent someone to Kunde Palace to take care of the Queen of Helianchang. When His Majesty's class teacher returns to Pingcheng, they will probably bring them back together. "
He Mulan took off his coat, then rolled his sleeves to shoulder height, and carefully inspected the wound.
Fortunately, there was no inflammation, no redness, and the wound had begun to heal.
Mulan's physical fitness is amazing.
Zhao Ming sat for a while, and when he saw He Mulan taking off his clothes, he blushed and lowered his head.
"Do you want water, General Hua? I'll fetch you some water."
Only then did He Mulan remember that this palace servant was a local snake in the summer palace. Naturally, she knew where the water was, and nodded immediately.
"It's work."
She didn't wash her hands, and she didn't dare to change the dressing for herself.
"Zhao Ming" Gulu got up, ran out of the room in three or two steps, and slapped his blushing cheeks.
'The teenager looks thin, but he is surprisingly strong. '
In Helian Mingzhu's mind, He Mulan's beautiful arm muscles appeared, and the streamlined shape made her heart skip a beat.
Remembering that his lieutenant is also a good figure, when she was dressed naked, her strong chest and wheat-colored skin...
In terms of appearance alone, this Hua general is much inferior to that deputy. But in terms of character, General Hua was much stronger than the lieutenant who would kill at every turn.
If you can say something like "a true hero will never oppress women and children", how can you judge his talent only by his looks
Helian Mingzhu was thinking about all the messes in his mind, and according to the direction in his memory, he found the water room, found a wooden basin, and drew a basin of water in the well.
After she brought back the water, He Mulan thanked her gently, and after washing her hands, she began to wrap the wounds on her arms with medicine and bandages.
Her technique is very skilled, and her speed is also very fast. After a while, she finished bandaging and tied a knot. Looking back again, "Zhao Ming" is staring at the basin of water in a daze...
Only then did He Mulan remember that "Zhao Ming" was a woman. The Wuying Hall was dimly lit and could not be seen, but now, upon closer inspection, this Zhao Ming was quite good-looking.
Every woman loves Jie. Seeing that she was always looking at the water, He Mulan said to her:
"Do you want to wash your face? I already know that you are a woman. If you feel uncomfortable, wash yourself. I'll go out for a walk, and come in after you're done washing. When you're going out, wash yourself again. That's it. I see you are carrying a big package, there should be something for dressing in it, right?"
Seeing He Mulan's sincerity, Helian Mingzhu nodded shyly.
She hasn't washed her face and rinsed her mouth these days. This is second, and the most important thing is that the place where a woman should be protected is not cleaned up, and it's terribly uncomfortable.
He Mulan asked herself to bring back a bucket of clean water, and went out considerately to walk around.
Helian Mingzhu inserted the door of this small room from the inside, cleaned herself, and washed the turmeric on her face and hands, revealing a stunning face.
She knew that it was a risky thing to do, and that the general surnamed Hua might actually be a person with a beast-like heart, and she might have a bad heart after seeing her true appearance.
But she did it inexplicably.
The time in Wuying Hall was almost a nightmare for her, but the appearance of this General Hua was like throwing a wooden board to a drowning person, so that he did not have to fear that he would sink.
He took her nephew and gave him a way out so that he could live with dignity.
He saved her life, but did not silence her, but brought her back to be treated well.
If she covers up her nine-point appearance, she can be treated so tenderly by him, then if she shows her own appearance, maybe she can get him to give her all her heart...
Helian Mingzhu covered her face in shame.
What the hell is she thinking!
and an enemy general...
This is the murderer who destroyed his own country!
But it was the first time that she was so curious about a man and looking forward to it... .
He Mulan was bored by the cold wind blowing outside. She thought that at this time, not to mention washing her face and PP, even if she took a shower, she had already washed herself, so she turned back and knocked on the door to ask if it was okay inside.
Helian Mingzhu sorted herself out, and quietly opened the door with a bit of anticipation, a bit of fear, and a bit of confidence born from her appearance.
He Mulan didn't notice the face of "Zhao Ming" when she went in at first. Because it was cold outside, she wanted to go in and warm up. When she found a corner of the room and sat down, looking up, He Mulan was stunned.
This girl looks...
Why is it so like the union/combination of Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia
This kind of girl with oval face and big eyes and picturesque eyebrows really reveals a kind of "premature" atmosphere from top to bottom, as if the peaches are waiting for others to pick, and they are watery.
He Mulan shook his head.
Tsk tsk, luckily I met him. If I met a man like Tuoba Tao with three thousand beauties in the harem, wouldn't he eat the peach with a whimper
Seeing He Mulan shaking her head, Helian Mingzhu shook her body immediately, her face turning pale.
What does it mean
Do you feel bad about yourself
Fortunately, He Mulan praised after a while:
"You were born beautiful, and you really should make yourself ugly. If that's the case, even a fool can see that you're a woman, and it's useless to pretend to be an eunuch. It's too dangerous."
If you want to wrap so many times around her chest, she is probably a stunner with a plump figure.
unlike her...
He Mulan looked down at her chest.
Such an action made Helian Mingzhu's face turn from white to red, clutching his chest and couldn't stop thinking.
He, he, he must have remembered the shameful thing I did in the side hall...
Shouldn't he have seen much? It's so dark there...
Would he think of me as one of those casual women? A hug or something...
Helian Mingzhu was worried and looking forward to it, so she couldn't help but kneel down and looked up at the tall man beside her.
"General Hua, I am so grateful for your care this time. I will repay your kindness in the future..."
"Ah, that, you don't need to be polite. It's a little effort anyway. When the concubine princesses in the Kunde Palace have a way to deal with them, you can probably go back to the fourth princess."
He Mulan comforted her.
"Also, I'm not a general, that's just a temporary disguise when the situation is critical."
He Mulan watched "Zhao Ming" gradually put down the hand covering his chest, and said with a smile:
"I'm just a personal guard. The man who talked to you fiercely that day is the real noble."
Helian Pearl asked stupidly:
"Are you just a guard? Who is your allegiance to? Is it the emperor's guard?"
"I am the personal guard beside Tuobati, the king of Yingchuan. But it will be no more soon. When I return to the Montenegro camp, I will go to participate in the competition and try to earn a future."
He Mulan remembered the identity of this palace servant and guessed that she was probably the confidant of the future Empress Wei, and she was willing to have multiple friends and multiple paths. What she said was very truthful.
"Well, the noble person I'm talking about is the one who forced you to wear palace maid's clothes, and is our majesty the Great Wei."
You have also seen the good figure and good looks of our Majesty!
Remember to have a good word with your master, and marry early to be a queen!
Huh
Why is her face green
Hahaha, do you think Tuoba Tao can't do it
