As a modern person, I am afraid it is difficult to understand why He Mulan from the modern age would bow to Tuoba Tao.
For modern people who pursue equal personality and freedom, it is easy for them to say "I really kneel for you", but it is extremely difficult to really kneel.
However, it is difficult for modern people to understand He Mulan's longing at this time.
In their era, peace and happiness, everyone fought for their ideals or their own future, and it was an era when no one would laugh at other people's dreams.
However, the society of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was ignorant, most of the people were illiterate, and the contradictions among various ethnic groups were serious.
When all the emperors were trying to implement the "human superior" system to maintain their own rule, this emperor was born with disdain for various classes and identities, and believed that "we make the best use of things and people make the best use of their talents. "That's what it's like to be a king of a country.
Many, many years later, the head of the Sui Dynasty, who was the first to introduce the imperial examination system, did the same, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that the imperial examination system was truly implemented. The master, but already has the soul that modern talents have thousands of years later, and is working hard for his own ideals.
Why Tuoba Tao didn't like Tuoba Huang, why Tuoba Tao thought that Tuoba Huang could not bring new blood to the country, He Mulan has gradually understood.
Tuoba Huang, who pursued the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and wanted to follow the path taught by the Han people to carry out the Sinicization reform, actually took a wrong path.
The road of complete sinicization and returning to the past can maintain the rule of the Xianbei and the Han people, but it will cause a further retrogression to this country and this society. What Tuoba Tao wanted was not a world where clansmen and dignitaries would govern the country, but a world where all talented people could govern the country together.
In this world, because of the efforts of all "useful people", the country will surely develop in a good direction, rather than one or two "wise men" who decide the future of the country and then push the country forward.
Before that, he needs to have like-minded people like him to calm down this chaotic world before he can implement what he wants.
So he needs Mulan, and he needs a lot of people like Mulan.
She's a woman, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if she's not high.
Even if she is a spy of the enemy country, it doesn't matter.
Knowing that she is willing to follow him, he is willing to tolerate.
It was precisely because he understood Tuoba Tao's ideal that He Mulan was truly convinced by this ideal.
In the era of He Mulan, freedom and dreams were not earned by themselves. It was the blood and tears of countless heroes that made them what they are today, so everyone who lived in that era and country was actually squandering the heroes. legacy left.
In that era, the extreme power of human beings, the game of the mind, and the fantasy of heroes were mostly just stories in movies and TV dramas. Enlightened monarchs, wise ministers, and soldiers who shed blood for the country seemed to be far away from them. far away.
But in the Central Plains more than a thousand years ago, in this era when the Hu and the Han people were constantly fighting and integrating, there was an alien leader who was working hard for his "Tao".
Tuoba Tao in the previous life did not succeed. Until Hua Mulan disarmed and returned to the field, Rouran continued to repeat under the command of Wu Ti. The contradictions between various ethnic groups still existed. Only Lu Shuihu and Bailonghu rebelled several times.
Tuoba Tao issued edicts several times to seek meritocracy, and the children of the poor family joined in one after another, but they were suppressed by the Han nobility and could not gain a foothold in the court. In the whole land of the Northern Dynasty, there were more Wubi than the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. This was an abrupt demonstration.
In the previous life, Tuoba Tao asked Hua Mulan to stay, he thought that Hua Mulan could understand his thoughts. But Hua Mulan really missed that ordinary life so much. Twelve years of military life had worn away all her ambitions, and she only longed to live an ordinary life.
So Hua Mulan refused, and she returned to her hometown with Tuoba Tao's heavy rewards and the chance to live given by His Majesty, where she entered an unknown long sleep.
In this life, the blood is not dead, and the ambition is still alive. After seeing the pain and struggle of the two lives, and after understanding the cruelty and injustice of the war, He Mulan can still stare at the young monarch for a long time and lower her. The noble head spit out those words from his mouth.
"I swear my allegiance to your death, Your Majesty."
"Please get up, Mulan. I'm not here for your worship and service, you should get up and stand with me. Rouran is just a small battlefield, with decades of life and countless tough battles waiting for us. go fight."
Tuoba Tao walked forward and pulled up He Mulan who was kneeling on the ground.
"I'm waiting for you to fight side by side with me, like my general in the Xia Kingdom!"
my majesty.
my general.
He Mulan felt a whimper of emotion emerging from her body. After over 1,500 years of estrangement, her emotions merged with the emperor.
Su Hejun seemed to be unable to see this sensational scene again, and turned his head to cry bitterly. He seemed to see what he had been pursuing for a long time in this scene where the king and his ministers got each other, so that the tears of happiness brought by satisfaction and joy could not be restrained.
The room was dark and quiet, but because of their existence, it was like the light that appeared when the darkness was split, and they wanted to bring infinite hope to this world.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
***
"I want to leave Hua Mulan with unforgettable painful memories", this is what Yan Qi wants to do most at this moment.
He thinks that he is not a smart person. He only does things according to his own mind and does what he wants, without considering the past or the future.
Biquge
He killed Huai Shuo's family of three, and sneaked to the Hua's house in the dark of night, but found that he was still far from fulfilling his wish.
There were several floors of people standing inside and outside of Mulan's house. This kind of protection even made the neighbors around Mulan's house uneasy, and they locked the gate and courtyard...
In this case, even if Yan Qi wanted to do the same as before, it would be impossible to sneak into an ordinary house to spy, let alone get surrounded by layers and go to Hua Mulan's house to kill.
He's just a swordsman and a killer, but not a fairy.
"Damn, doesn't it mean that Hua Mulan is just an ordinary military household, how can the Hua family call so many people to protect..." Yan Qi stared at the brightly lit room and slammed the wall in frustration. "Could it be that you have noticed my thoughts?"
He was unwilling to leave like this, so he hid in a remote corner, waiting for the moment when the Hua family was broken.
The hard work pays off, and the moment has finally come.
A group of men walked out of Hua Mulan's house, and the man at the head was tall and burly, which made Hua Mulan's slender body even thinner.
The Hua family seemed to respect this man very much, and sent him respectfully to the door, and Hua Mulan even sent him out of the hospital, so they parted ways.
When the man left, the guards who surrounded the Hua Family Courtyard like iron barrels also followed. Yan Qi realized that these people were not protecting the Hua Family, but the burly man.
"Great, finally gone!"
Yan Qi felt that her hand was itching.
"As long as the guards leave, the head of the Hua family will be in my bag!"
Until the mighty group of people left the alley, Yan Qi came out.
It wasn't until the night was getting dark that he sneaked along the courtyard wall of Hua's house to the eaves, and prepared to break in while the night was dark.
However, he just uncovered a tile in the hall, and as soon as he looked down, he was stunned.
What's up with this family
Why are so many people not sleeping
He Mulan was talking to Hua Ping and Hua Huo. Four oil lamps were lit, and the whole room was like daylight. Yan Qi saw that the half-blind middle-aged man and Hua Mulan who had fought with him during the day were in the hall.
Murder in a good dream!
Can you still have fun!
Forget it, let's start with Mulan's mother's house! A sick old woman can't be as invincible as Hua Mulan, can she
It was just that Yan Qiyi uncovered the tiles of the main house and showed a disappointed look again.
Several masters of the Hua family were discussing matters in the hall. Mangu stayed in the General's Mansion to take care of the horses and luggage of the group because he couldn't live there. Chen Jie was injured and had difficulty moving, so He Mulan took him with him. He was called by Yuan to the main house to chat.
It turned out that He Mulan casually said, "No, I will recruit a husband-in-law to come back in the future. Most of the military are bachelors." This was the first time for He Mulan to bring a man back, and when Yuan Shi heard that this personal soldier was an entourage who served Hua Mulan for food, drink, and Lhasa, he felt like a mother-in-law looking at a future daughter-in-law candidate.
"Young man, do you have any brothers at home?"
Yuan Shi just had a lung disease and needed recuperation. She wasn't bedridden yet, but the Hua family couldn't wait for her to lie down for a while, so she obeyed everyone's good intentions and rested on the bed.
At this time, she was kindly asking about Chen Jie's family situation.
It was already very cramped for Chen Jie to be sent to chat with the general's mother. In addition, he had an injury on his leg and couldn't sit on his knees. He could only sit on the edge of her bed without a good image and nodded uncomfortably.
"Yes, and two younger brothers."
Yuan Shi's eyes suddenly lit up.
It's good to have brothers! People with brothers are welcome to join the family!
There are other brothers who will inherit the lineage!
"Is the boy engaged? Do you have a favorite girl?"
Yuan Shi smiled at him.
'Mrs. Flower asked me why? Yes, Madam Hua must have listened to my bravery, liked my loyalty, and wanted to be a matchmaker for me! I just said, how can someone like me not take a fancy to me! '
Chen Jie immediately shook his head happily: "No, I have always been in the army, I have never been engaged, and I have no favorite girl!"
Let the beautiful girl come more violently!
Yuan Shi was even more satisfied, and asked again, "Then can you accept the marriage?"
"How is this possible!" Chen Jie was shocked and said: "Chen's family has a strict family style, and there is no reason to join the family! Besides, it is not impossible for the military family to open the pot. I have good fields allocated by the military, how can I join the family and eat soft rice? !"
I thought it was a good match.
Mrs. Hua is trying to find a door for the juniors!
That won't work!
Seeing Chen Jie's denial, Yuan Shi couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, and muttered to herself: "How many men in this world can accept marriage? Her idea is good, but it is too difficult to find the right person. I don't need to worry about it, how can I not worry about it..."
"Mrs. Hua, what are you talking about?"
Chen Jie looked curiously at Yuan Shi whose lips moved.
"I mean, you are a good boy, but unfortunately you have no fate with my family."
Yuan Shi sighed.
"If you know any suitable young man, and you are willing to join the family, please tell Mulan of the ward and let her take a look and see the details."
"Hey, does General Hua still have sisters? Isn't there only one sister who is married?"
"Clan sister, clan sister."
"Oh." Chen Jie nodded clearly. "Mrs. Hua, don't worry, it's all covered by me! General Hua's sister must not worry about getting married, I'll help you find out later!"
Yuan shi liked such a well-behaved and obedient man, holding Chen Jie's hand and chatting for a long time, while asking He Mulan how he lived in the camp while wiping away tears, how did Chen Jieyue boast about how heroic his general was and how he cut people. The head is like chopping melons and vegetables, the more fierce Yuan Shi's tears will be.
The old and the young were crying and crying. Yan Qi, who was on the roof watching the movement in the house, lay down until her arms were numb, and there was no sign that the two were about to separate, so she was dumbfounded.
In desperation, Yan Qi had to climb a few more times, wanting to attack Hua Mulan's younger brother, the nine-year-old child.
It is a pity that he is a famous swordsman in Liu Song, but in the Wei Kingdom he has only chosen the old and weak, women and children, which has greatly reduced his reputation in the past.
Even a ranger, if someone learns that he is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and he has a good swordsmanship but only dares to pick the soft, then no one will be vassal again.
But this Yan Qi was originally a loner, and he didn't pay attention to reputation, and there was no right or wrong in his heart, otherwise he would not become a tool for the powerful to kill.
It's ridiculous that he was so confused and touted that he couldn't find Bei. He really thought that he was a rare murder genius in the world. Then Liu Song's nobles also believed others' praise and entrusted him to do such an important thing.
Poor Liu Yuanjing will not end up being caught alive even if he can meet a reliable teammate. With Yan Qi's ability, it's always alright to protect someone and run away, how can he be so aggressive? To entangle with a personal soldier
This time, Hua Mutuo's room was actually dark.
Listening to the movement again, there seems to be only a sleeping Hua Mutuo in the room, and no one else.
In such a family, except for the children, all of them are awake, and the children are usually hard to wake up when they are asleep. Yan Qi, who was overjoyed, just called out "Okay" and opened the large tiles and was about to jump off the roof when she heard that. The sleeping little boy suddenly burst into tears!
The cry of a magic voice piercing through the ears resounded throughout the room. Yan Qi, who was already ready to jump down, was so frightened that he slipped and smashed a piece of roof tile, making a big noise and falling down!
Hua Mutuo is a child, and the adults in the family have been taking good care of him. If Hua Mu was not sick, he would have slept with his parents at night. He cried a lot, from He Mulan to Hua Hu Yuan, everyone Startled, he immediately ran towards his room!
"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as he sleeps alone, he will always be in a nightmare at night, he must have knocked over something, don't..."
Hua Hu comforted her daughter as she walked, but He Mulan's face was solemn. She had been walking fast before, but in the end, she ran fast!
Listening to the sound, it is obvious that something fell from a high place, and it will never knock over something!
What can fall from a height? It can't be a cat, can it
He Mulan rushed into her brother's house, only to see a black shadow suddenly appear in the house, falling to the ground!
The moonlight fell down the big hole in the roof, illuminating the rubble and sawdust all over the room. It was obvious that the person who came here broke the roof and jumped off.
"Where did the thief come from!"
He Mulan shouted loudly, pulled out the rock from her waist and threw it out!
How heavy is the rock, when it is thrown out, it spins and flies out like a piece of graphite. As long as it is hit by it, it will be seriously injured even if it does not die.
Yan Qi just landed, just when the old force was just unloaded and the new force was not born, but he saw the epee slashing towards his waist, and immediately fell to the ground to avoid the attack of the rock, and waited for the sword to fly over his head. After the carp stood up again, He Mulan had already rushed to her brother's bed and picked up the flower and tree holder.
"Master the lantern!" He Mulan shouted, and Chen Jie, who ran from the next room, immediately took out flint and firewood from his chest and lit the light in the room. The room was brightly lit for a while, and Yan Qiduo, who got up from the ground Enter the door and run towards Yuan's room!
At this time, He Mulan was holding Hua Mutuo who was crying loudly in his arms. Hua Huo was just a disabled old man. Hua Ping reached out to block the situation, but saw a cold light. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have The head has been chopped off!
What a fast sword, although he didn't see the thief's face clearly, he also recognized from the sword that it was Yan Qi in the morning!
"He actually dares to come!"
He Mulan also saw his face. At this time, he didn't care about Hua Mutuo. He just threw him into Chen Jie's hands, swept away the saber on Chen Jie's waist, and went after Yan Qi.
Poor Yuan Shi was worrying about his son's condition in the house, when he saw a man rushing into the house fiercely, carrying a long sword as his chest and stabbing him!
She is a woman, and she has never seen such a scene. She can only grab the medicine jar by the bed and smash it at him.
The man raised his hand and slashed open the medicine jar with a sword, and the black concoction splashed out. Yuan Shi was so frightened that he shrank to the corner, and a few drops of concoction were splashed on his face, thinking that he was stabbed and bleeding. A lifeless scream!
This scream was what Yan Qi loved the most. He was about to raise his hand and stab him again, but when he heard a strong wind blowing from behind his head, he quickly turned around and attacked with his sword. As soon as the sword collided, a golden fire burst out immediately, and the two of them were completely visible.
"This man is so powerful!"
"This guy's reaction is so quick!"
He Mulan originally thought that Yan Qi's attention was all on Yuan Shi, and all the flaws in the back of his head were found. As long as he succeeded in a split, the danger of the mother flower was also solved. Who would have guessed that this knife would hit the sword that he was hitting with his backhand. , With such a speed of reaction, and such a tricky way of receiving moves, this person really has some skills!
At this time, it was not the time to praise other people's abilities. Knowing that this person was a killer, and he was here for the Hua family, He Mulan made every move mercilessly and only attacked him where he would die. He Mulan hated this man very much, and knew that he was Liu Songlai's spy. Every knife used a lot of strength. Rao is Yan Qi's weapon is an excellent magic weapon. After dozens of moves, A sword and a sword all shattered!
It is common for He Mulan to damage her weapons on the battlefield. If the knife is broken, it is not necessary to throw it away and use her fists instead. Poor Yan Qi has encountered many opponents in his life. How can there be such a person who forced him to be so embarrassed by pure brute force? A sword that a swordsman does not have is like a literati without a pen, a beauty without a face, and now she is clumsy, she takes a few punches from Hua Mulan, and vomits out blood!
He was terrified, knowing that today he would not be able to kill anyone no matter what. Goodbye, there was a window in the other corner of the house, the window was tightly sealed, and there was a corner door next to it.
He thought that he wouldn't be able to run to the corner door anyway, so he just straightened his figure and ran towards the window immediately.
Yan Qi's lightness skills are not weak, but He Mulan is not as good as him in this regard. He saw his figure flickering, leaving only a few afterimages. When He Mulan chased after the bed, Yan Qi immediately protected him. He kept his head and slammed into the window without hesitation!
"There's..."
With a "pop", Yan Qi jumped out of the window and immediately fell into a smelly and sticky place! For a time, countless strange animals were chasing him up and down. He was about to push one of them away, but he felt a strong force from behind him, and he was actually arched by the animal!
It didn't matter to him, countless wet strange things were bumping around him, and a heavy body stepped on his back, pressing him down to the point where he couldn't stand up, and was surrounded by this group of things to the point of helplessness.
"Cocoa cocoa cocoa..."
"Coax..."
They happily arched him up and down, and then pressed him under the big/tit/fat/buttocks and licked him all over the place.
"... there's a pigsty over there..."
Yuan Shi was already frightened, and then pointed at his daughter and screamed, "Mulan! Go and save our pigs! Our pigs will be slaughtered next month!"
What? pig
He Mulan grabbed the knocked-open window frame and stretched out his head to take a look. The place outside the Huajiajiao door was not a pigsty, where else
No wonder the window on the other side was completely sealed. If there was a gap left, the smell would be enough to blow the people out of the house. The Hua's house is small, and the facilities are tightly packed together. It is not unusual for the pigsty to be built in the backyard.
He Mulan sympathetically looked at Yan Qi, who was "played between the palms of his hands" by a group of pigs. He couldn't bear the absurdity in his heart any longer, and laughed out loud.
"Mom, don't worry about your pigs, I see they are having fun!"
