He Mulan has nothing to do with "arrogance" in two or three lifetimes. So since joining the army, even if the three armies won the competition and became the most watched hero in the Montenegro camp, she has never received such a comment as "arrogant", whether it is people who like her or people who hate her.
But for Di Yefei's sake, He Mulan finally became "arrogant" once.
He Mulan's political acumen was not on the same level as Tuoba Tao's, not even half of Su and Jun's. She only thought that maybe Di Yefei was flying too fast, causing the jealousy of the villains around Cui Hao, so she deliberately framed her...
This kind of thing happens even in modern times. Why do many stars later take drugs/drugs? Most of them are deliberately seduced by people with bad intentions. Once they are seduced, their acting careers will be completely ruined.
But the orders brought by Kesu and Jun made her understand her shallowness. How cruel is the court battle, not to mention the destruction of an unknown young man, even the family of the nobles of the past generations.
This person must be Cui Hao's opponent. In other words, Cui Hao's existence obstructed the arrangements of some forces in the dark, so these people will choose Di Yefei as a breakthrough to attack Mulan and those who are supporting young generals. Tuoba Tao.
For Cui Hao, accepting Di Yefei, an alien mixed-race, was almost equivalent to his "Li Xian Corporal", and he took the initiative to show affection to the poor family. This is an unforgivable "betrayal" for many clansmen, so once the disciple accepted by Cui Hao has an accident, let alone a blow to Cui Hao's reputation, no matter how much he wants to get close to the poor clan in the future, there will be no The poor disciple dared to accept his solicitation, after all, the lessons from the past are here.
It was precisely because of this terrible situation that Cui Hao, who was walking away, felt the darkness in it more and more, so that when Tuoba Tao said that the scar must be completely torn apart, Cui Hao was extremely painful, but he still agreed.
Once Mulan broke out, Cui Hao's hat of "lax governance" would never be taken away, and the poor men and the Xianbei clan would also use this as a reason to attack him.
The advantage is that he can use this to "clean up the house", and from now on, he can concentrate on political affairs, better meet the various needs of Tuoba Tao, and also reduce many possible handles in the future.
For He Mulan, the benefits are also obvious.
He Mulan's current identity is too complicated.
She was born in an ordinary military household. After being the general of the Helai family, she has friendship with the eldest son of the Dugu family and several sons of several families. Attitude, so the prestige among the Xianbei old people is very good.
She has also served as a personal soldier under a direct-service clan like Kumoti, and is highly regarded, and has saved Tuoba Tao's life several times, which has already boosted the favorability of many clans. At least Tuoba Tao once said "I will marry the princess to you", and many people still remember it, and there are many princesses who want to come to the palace to be curious about her.
And He Mulan not only has a good reputation among the Xianbei clan and clan, but she also has Han blood, can read and write Chinese characters, and has learned some tactics of war, so she is not considered ignorant. Now, because of Di Yefei, she and the Gaoche clan also have some relationship. Jinshan relieved the siege of the Gaoche people in the first battle, and let the Gaoche people leave to save their own people, which is enough to make the Gaoche people. people are grateful.
This was originally the capital of her political promotion, but the complexity of the political affairs lies in the fact that one can make good friends with many parties, but not both sides. If you want to rise, you must find your own path.
You can be a direct minister, a lonely minister, or a helping hand of the Xianbei clan, and you can even seek reforms with the Han faction, but you cannot please every faction.
Tuoba Tao asked her to make trouble with Cui Hao, but he was actually planning a political path for her and laying the foundation for her future.
First of all, Cui Hao is Tuoba Tao's most solid supporter. No matter how fierce He Mulan and Cui Hao are, as long as these two people are working for Tuoba Tao, it is determined that they must not be on the same side. He Mulan didn't have to worry about making a grievance with him since he couldn't make much trouble.
Second, Cui Hao is an outlier even among the Han people. Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other. I don’t know how many people admired him and hated him. The heart of the same enemy.
If He Mulan really made trouble, most of the scribes would not hate He Mulan, but would find it very pleasing.
The three Xianbei officials headed by the Xianbei clan have political discord because Cui Hao led the civil servants to return to the "Han system". On the contrary, strength will value her and support her.
In the end, He Mulan has always had the reputation of "martial courage", but not the character of "celebrity". In this era, I still eat this set. He Mulan wasn't tall enough, nor beautiful enough, nor was he burly or strange in appearance. In this age when everyone was pompous, it was a big loss. If you wanted to accumulate "fame", We have to start from "not afraid of power".
If Cui Hao was not considered a "power", then ninety percent of Wei's officials would not be ranked.
Therefore, when Su Hejun explained everything to He Mulan and the purpose to be achieved, He Mulan could only do as he admired these ancients who had a dozen bends in their stomachs. .
Only at this moment did He Mulan truly feel that even if she transmigrated into the famous "Mulan", she was actually just a small person in this era.
Not to mention a monarch like Tuoba Tao, even just a few villains who secretly make plans, can easily wipe them out.
And Di Yefei, in the final analysis, was only implicated and became a victim of politics.
Make trouble!
Make a fuss!
Bring out the helplessness in her chest!
Make out her intolerance and sympathy for Di Yefei!
Bring out her unwillingness to this world!

"General Huwei? There are thousands of generals in Great Wei. Who knows where you are a general? Is there a post? Is there anyone who recommends it? The master only came back in the morning and won't be seeing guests. Come on in the afternoon."
"I'm not looking for Cui Taichang. Please let me know. I'm looking for a guest named Liu Mingfang, who should be in the east courtyard of the former house at this time."
He Mulan looked at the doorman who was disrespectful in his words, and his tone was already displeased.
The Cui House is located in the most prosperous "Yanting Lane" in the East City of Pingcheng. There are only two families in the whole alley, the Cui family and the Lu family, who live on the east and west sides.
The Lu family is an in-law of the Cui family, Fan Yang Gaomen, and its current patriarch Lu Xuan is Cui Hao's cousin and lives next to him.
As He Mulan, it would be considered offensive to approach Yanting Lane on weekdays, but now she not only came, but also brought several helpers, all of whom were immediately furious when they heard what she said about Di Yefei's encounter.
He Mulan also indicated Tuoba Tao that he was looking for help. First, there were many generals in Cui Hao's family, and his two fists were no match for four.
What He Mulan brought this time included her own personal guards, Chen Jie and Man Gu, as well as a few generals from Hu Ben who had some friendship with her and who came to Beijing to wait for a reward.
Several people were coming to the Protocol Court to look for He Mulan. When they heard this, they immediately expressed their obligation to accompany He Mulan to Cui Hao's house to seek justice for Di Yefei.
Although He Mulan's tenure in the Hu Ben Army was not long, she would win every battle, treat her subordinates well, and her prestige was not low. The Xianbei warriors all respected her very much. come over.
He Mulan had no dissatisfaction with those who didn't want to come. After all, not everyone was willing to take risks for others.
He Mulan brought a group of warriors to visit Yanting Lane, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Mending. Not to mention that this person came to visit without the invitation and the owner's previous instructions, and even if it was not an uninvited guest, there was no reason to bring a group of warriors and weapons to meet people.
"This general, there are many disciples under my master's door. If you come looking for a disciple, it is better to look for it from the side door, and there will naturally be a door for you to inform you. Although I am a side door, it is the door that the master and many relatives and friends go through. , I will not report the matter reported by the doorkeeper."
In this era, the main door will only be opened after receiving decrees, going on expeditions, accepting awards, or receiving important people. Even Cui Hao himself goes home through the side door next to the door. Maybe the disciples have a bad attitude, but this is also true. If it is other generals, they may go back obediently and wait for the afternoon...
But He Mulan was here to make a big fuss!
"Well, you doorman, you don't know the people in your mansion, and you have used a wolf-hearted beast as a doorman. I want to be angry to visit you to seek justice, but you are obstructing it in every possible way. You really think you are the master of this mansion. !"
He Mulan stretched out his hand and pushed the door blocking the road away, and went straight in with his subordinates.
That Men Ding has been a doorman in the Cui family for several years, where have you seen such a reckless person? When he saw that this group of people finally showed a ferocious face, he immediately screamed in fright: "Go to call the family general! Call the family in the future! Someone broke into the house! Someone broke into the front yard with weapons! Quickly send to inform the master and the guardian. Governor of Kyoto!"
He screamed at the top of his voice, and immediately alerted the countless pawns in the porter. All of a sudden, those who ran out ran out, those who ran in ran in, and those who ran in, went around to report messages.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Chen Jie blocked a few doors that were running out, easily knocked them down, and looked at the doorman who was run away by He Mulan with contempt, and followed his master into Cui Hao's mansion.
If Chen Jie and Mangu are proud and enthusiastic, the rest of the people are both restless and excited. They look up at such a wealthy mansion on weekdays, and it is blasphemy. How can they come in like this?
But Gaomen was worthy of being a Gaomen. The rumors that there were hundreds of servants in the family were not false. As soon as He Mulan and others stepped on the threshold, they could hear the noise and the dazzling swordsmanship. There was a team of well-armored homes. Will come straight to the door!
"Who the hell broke into Cui's house? If you don't explain your purpose, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The leader of the family was in his forties, with a burly figure and a steady demeanor. The family members behind him were all men with big shoulders and round waists. Suddenly, a piece of weapons appeared, which could really frighten stupid and timid people, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
He Mulan's lips moved slightly, and Chen Jie got the order beside him, and immediately took three steps and announced loudly: "My general is Huwei General Hua Mulan, because of the poisoning of Di Yefei, a disciple of Cui Taichang's disciple, I want to find the person who poisoned it. Ask me to understand. The doorman blocked in every possible way, and said that there were too many doorkeepers to report, so my general broke in without authorization!"
The doorman was immediately stunned, he had never seen such a person who reversed black and white!
"Huwei general Hua Mulan?"
This general was also an old man following Cui Hao. Hearing the announcement from the front yard, he immediately stepped forward a few steps. When he saw He Mulan, his face was full of surprise and surprise.
"General Hua said who was poisoned? You have a relationship with my master, so you shouldn't be so rude!"
He was referring to Cui Hao's gift of Mulan's gluttonous armor.
"I am rude, and he will come to the door to apologize. I also asked the housekeeper to call Liu Fang out. Di Yefei ate the poison/thing he gave and almost died. I am not here today. Greetings!"
He Mulan stood in the courtyard without being humble or arrogant, with no intention of retreating.
The gangster and the family general looked ugly. This person was either a fool or he really gave up his future to attack the Cui family. It was unknown whether there was any instigation behind him.
Fortunately, the Cui family was also a well-organized family. No matter how displeased this family general was when he heard this, he just instructed a family general to find this guest, and then ordered a group of family generals to surround He Mulan and the others. , don't let them move.
After a while, the steward of the Cui family also came. His face was extremely ugly. He looked up and saw that the troublemaker at the head was just a lanky man. , I'm sure that even if something happens, it won't turn around.
He Mulan can be considered to be able to keep her composure, and she still does not change her face when surrounded by dozens of family generals with knives and swords. As for the other Cui family members who think that she is unscrupulous and extremely rude, she does not take it to heart.
After about a quarter of an hour or so, the home general who had gone earlier ran back with an ugly look, and said to the chief of the home general: "The last general did not find that Liu Fang, and several other guests said that he went to several Taoist monarchs early in the morning. Dao has gone, I'm 'talking about Xuan' at this time, it's not easy to trespass..."
Cui Hao is a Taoist. He cultivated a Taoist temple at home, raised Taoist priests, and also had a clean place to talk about Xuanxuan and lecture on scriptures. These Taoists don't have to do anything, they accompany Cui Hao every day to talk about the art of Huang Lao, or talk about Xuan, so that the disciples under the door like to be arty, and they just listen to a few Taoists "speak" when they have nothing to do.
These Taoist priests also have the demeanor of "famous scholars". When talking about Xuan Xuan, no outsiders are allowed to trespass. They burn incense and play the qin in the quiet room.
These families have never interrupted the Taoist preaching, so the family will eat a closed door at the door, and then run back with an ugly face.
At this time, several people were already impatient, and frowned and shouted: "It's just a doorman, it's even more difficult than seeing Cui Xianggong! Di Yefei can't get out of bed now that he has been plotted against, no matter what, this thief will Leave it to us to see the officials!"
"presumptuous!"
"Di Yefei is also our master's disciple. If you want to manage it, it's also an official from our Cui family. What's your dog's business with mice!"
"If the Cui family were in charge, they wouldn't sit by and watch Di Yefei get plotted without knowing it. Since Cui Taichang is Di Yefei's master, he should have been taught carefully, how could he not even know that he was poisoned for so many days?"
He Mulan heard this and knew that the time was ripe. She stared at those generals for a while, and seeing that they didn't intend to report again, she immediately raised her feet and walked inside.
"If you don't want to hand over Liu Fang, then I'll find it myself. The Taoist temple in the front yard, right? You don't lead the way, I'll find it myself!"
"Stop him!"
"Tie him up and put it in front of the door, so that others can see what happens to Cui's house!"
For a while, there was an endless stream of shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, several people knew that he had an official position, and they didn't dare to really take her life. The one with the net bag went forward to capture He Mulan together.
"If you don't do it, then I will do it!" He Mulan drew his sword out of the scabbard, and the rock of the giant sword fell heavily, with a few bangs, two people's long swords were broken by the rock, and the general who broke the sword Even more horrified, he clutched his wrist and took a few steps back!
"Good general!"
"How can we let the general do it! Look at us!"
Several people and Man Gu and others saw that He Mulan made a move first, and put down the burden in their hearts. After the sword was drawn, the sword was drawn, the sword was crossed, and after the sound of weapons intersecting, they followed He Mulan to the front. In the courtyard!
The Cui family occupies a huge area, and the front yard alone can't see the head at a glance. Among them, pavilions, pavilions, lakes, swamps and bamboo forests are hidden in it, and it is impossible to know where the Taoist temple is.
Fortunately, there was a man-made "high mountain" in the front yard, with a pavilion standing on it to look at the scenery. He Mulan and a group of Cui family members went to the pavilion while fighting. They climbed the pavilion and looked down. There is a gray-roofed building where the courtyard leads to the left courtyard, with a huge incense burner burning in it, which should be a Taoist temple.
At this time, the armed forces of the Cui Mansion had been gathering more and more when they heard the news of someone trespassing. There were more than 300 people in the Jiading family, and the path leading to the Taoist temple from the front yard was blocked. Even those who came with bows and arrows would shoot him to death as long as the master gave an order!
The chief steward of the Cui family and Cui Hao's eldest son, Cui Yuan, rushed to the front yard after hearing the sound, only to see that He Mulan and the Hu Ben army with him had already laid a lot of good hands at the feet. Ten steps!
"General Hua! Please stop, hey, your temper is too big!"
Others don't know who Hua Mulan is, but Cui Yuan knows. This person can take Datan's head in the chaos of the army. If he really initiates a rebellion and kills a Cui family with blood, he is just a military household. People, a life is nothing, but their Cui family will be laughed at to death.
What's more, a loyal family will be rare. If it is damaged in such an inexplicable matter, it is really worth the loss.
It's just a doorman, and Di Yefei is also his own!
"Dad, he has bullied us all, why should you be afraid of him?" A young man beside Cui Yuan stared at He Mulan with a bulging face, as if to see her clearly.
When it was discovered that this well-known general Huwei was just an unremarkable young man, the young man was obviously a little disappointed, and he pouted and hoped that his father would teach her a lesson.
"Nianzi, don't say anything!" Cui Yuan cupped his hands, and said to He Mulan, "My father is resting now, and the dog is ignorant. The general said that Di Yefei had a bad hand. What's going on?"
He glanced at the messy situation, and his face couldn't help showing a three-pointed anger: "Even if Tingwei decides the case, there is no reason to go to other people's homes for no reason, and the general is not Tingwei!"
"I only want Liu Fang, and I have no intention of hurting anyone."
He Mulan glanced at the young man beside Cui Yuan, stunned slightly, and after recognizing that he was Cui Lin who came to her house to talk rhetorically, she took a few more glances.
"Fairy Wood"
This guy is stupid, he's been like this since he was a kid.
He Mulan had just stormed into the Cui Mansion angrily, and her body was full of momentum. She swept over the young Cui Lin, but Cui Lin felt a chill all over her body, as if she had been stared at by some tiger and beast.
But if he hid behind his father like this, he was afraid of losing the reputation of the Cui family, so he stood up straight with He Mulan's gaze. You can tell at a glance the way people stand when they are brave and the way they stand when they are natural. Now everyone can see that this kid is afraid of He Mulan, and he can't help but laugh in his heart.
'He Mulan, ah He Mulan, you have actually reached the point of bullying children. '
Seeing that Cui Lin's cold sweat broke out, He Mulan abruptly withdrew her gaze, raised her feet and continued to walk towards the Taoist temple.
From the time He Mulan entered the Cui Mansion to the present, in addition to explaining the whole story, he used astonishing force to break into the front yard. Excellent, but the face of the "scholar" couldn't be more important. Seeing that He Mulan had no intention of apologizing, he sneered.
"It seems that General Hua thinks that my Cui family is much easier to break into than Da Tan's big tent? If so, you can go and see. If you can step into the Taoist temple, my Cui family will let you take Liu Fang away. , is it killing or slaying Xi Ting Zun then!"
"I hope Cui Langjun keeps his promise."
He Mulan looked at the distance from here to the far door, then counted the number of generals already in the front yard, made an estimate, and asked the son behind him, "Are you afraid?"
With a dozen people fighting against hundreds of people, even if He Mulan knew that Cui Hao must have instructed Guan Jiajian not to be ruthless, there would inevitably be accidental injuries.
The Erlang behind her didn't even know what was going on, and he just followed her with loyalty, so he couldn't lose his morale.
"The Rouran people's camp has been invaded, what's there to be afraid of!"
"General Di is also a splendid hero, how can he be ruined by these traitors!"
"Afraid of a ball! We are the Hu Ben army, and the general ordered it!"
The Hu Ben sergeants rushed up with enthusiasm, raised their arms and shouted, and the last sentence was more of a punch. He Mulan's heart was filled with pride, holding the rock in his hand, pointing his sword at the round courtyard gate not far away, and smiled. Said: "Let them see how powerful our army is! Form a formation and rush to the enemy with me!"
The four words "Follow me to the enemy" really shook the roof, everyone who heard it was thunder in their ears, their heartbeats intensified, and they rushed out with He Mulan as the vanguard!
"Stop this group of people! Don't let them enter the backyard!"
The strong men of the Cui family shouted in unison, and they took out their weapons one after another. The dense cold light in the courtyard was dazzling. !
He Mulan didn't know how many big battles she'd seen, and there were many times that she went straight to a place like this. She knew that whenever the two armies faced each other, it was just a burst of courage, and she didn't stop immediately. , not the sound of broken bones, or the sound of weapons collapsing.
There were also people who wanted to attack together because of the number of people, so Chen Jie would suddenly come out from behind her to take the attack. As long as they blocked a little bit, those who wanted to attack together would fall heavily behind He Mulan. The Hu Benjun, who was used to cooperation, made a heavy hand.
At this time, time is time, time is distance, and this is not really the enemy's Longtan Tiger's Den. All the soldiers in the army know that even if they "win" by rushing to the Taoist temple, they are not willing to fight at the moment. Hit and walk, just rushed through the courtyard gate!
Behind the gate of the courtyard is a long corridor, and under the corridor is the lake water. The corridor is not spacious enough and is surrounded by twists and turns. He Mulan was overjoyed when she saw her. With such a hard-working effort, she was most suitable for this narrow terrain!
He Mulan's speed suddenly accelerated again, holding a rock in his right hand, while his left hand shook out the long whip tied to his waist. With a flick of his hand, he pulled out a gap and rushed to the corridor first.
There are still unidentified servants in this long corridor. Suddenly, I saw a group of ferocious robbers overturned the house and rushed to the corridor. They immediately screamed and hugged their heads and mice. They also took the things at hand and threw them. The Hu Ben army and his party, unfortunately, are just embroidered pillows, they are not strong enough, and their objects are not sharp weapons. Many of them rolled to the ground without even being thrown to the side.
He Mulan rushed into the corridor like a tiger descending the mountain. There was a young girl who ran and stumbled, blocking He Mulan in front of him. Seeing that he was about to be stepped on by He Mulan, her face was pale. Close your eyes.
He stopped at this moment, and his personal soldiers and generals who followed him were about to collide into her back and fall down. He Mulan gritted his teeth, swung his whip around the girl's ankle, and took her to the side with skillful force. Go to the other side.
I don't know how chaotic this corridor is, and no one noticed that a girl who fell down almost died of being trampled on. Even she herself only felt a pain in her ankle, and then a huge force moved her to the left.
When she opened her eyes and looked forward, she saw that the terrifying general in the front walked forward without turning his head, but a young man in Xianbei costume behind the general nodded apologetically to him, revealing that A shamed smile.
The girl closed her eyes the whole time, naturally she didn't know who rescued him, and felt that the leader of the general was vicious, and it was a good idea not to step on her, so she regarded the boy as a savior in her heart.
Turning back, nodding, and escaping from death, this young girl firmly remembers the boy's appearance in her heart, and may never forget it again in a short period of time.
"Miss Biao, my God, why are you still here!"
After He Mulan left, a few servants searched under the corridor and found Miss Biao who had just disappeared in panic. Seeing her lying on the ground, she was instantly scared to death.
This young lady is from the Lu house next door, because she grew up with the daughter of the Cui family. They often visit each other and don't need to pass the word. Everyone is used to it, and it is the same today. Run to the front yard!
The girl looked shocked, but quickly regained her composure, "I just heard a movement in front of me and wanted to bypass the road. Who knows that there is even a disaster here. Help me up first, my leg is hurt, you quietly I sent someone to my house and called my brother."
When Cui Yuan and Cui Lin passed by the corridor with ugly faces, they saw the girl from the Lu family was also sitting in the corridor.
He Mulan went all the way in the direction she remembered, knocking down more than a dozen people, and then a dozen more people came to meet her. Her old injuries were not fully healed, and it was painful to move like this. With a big enough movement, he just gritted his teeth and faced the enemy, while quickly finding a way to get rid of the monk.
Fortunately, although the Cui family occupies a large area, it is not complicated. In this era, the southern gardens with winding paths and secluded paths are not popular in later generations. Otherwise, He Mulan and his party would not be able to break into the Taoist temple in the front courtyard.
The Cui family are only first-class generals or strong men, and they are not on the battlefield. Where have you seen such a fierce general? There was only one enemy, but he was like a mad tiger, like a beast, and he easily broke through their battles. Anyone who blocked them would either vomit blood or fall to the ground. If it wasn't for He Mulan's unwillingness to kill people, they would be hacked to death. And slashing people is just the difference between raising a few points and lowering a few points.
There is no problem with the loyalty of the Cui family's generals, but many of the strong men are still servants in the house on weekdays. Suddenly they see the enemy's martial arts superb and unstoppable, and the morale of the tiger Ben army behind them is like a rainbow. The screams of people were humming indiscriminately, but the Hu Ben sergeants did not even hum with sharp blades, as if they had become accustomed to it, and they were suddenly frightened and could not fight for their lives no matter what.
What's more, they all saw that He Mulan didn't want to kill people, and obviously also cared about Cui Hao, the master, the gods above fought, and their little devils suffered.
The generals were told by the housekeeper not to kill people before they took action. Although they didn't know why, they didn't dare to use the killer, so He Mulan was not disturbed at all. Taoism.
This Taoist temple was built in a bamboo forest. The wind blew the bamboo forest and the sound of rustling came out. It was indescribably elegant, but this elegance was soon destroyed by the shouts of killing and the sound of swords brought by He Mulan and others. Extremely harsh.
A few little Daoists in the Taoist temple heard the sound and came out to find out, and saw a group of gangsters rushing towards here, followed by a group of Cui family members who were chasing.
But how could He Mulan let these two Taoist boys close the door? I saw her rushing forward a few steps, kicked when she raised her foot, and before the door was closed, she was kicked wide open, and the ferocious Tiger Ben army rushed in, and several people arrested her. A Taoist boy asked, "Where is Liu Fang? Take me there!"
"In the back room..."
At this time, the Hu Ben army finally completed the life-threatening rush of the Cui Mansion, and the generals were still preparing to storm the Taoist temple, but He Mulan stood alone in front of the door, raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Cui Jia Dalang promised me, if I If you can step into the Taoist temple, the Cui family will let me take Liu Fang away, is it a fake?"
The generals looked at each other in dismay, and no one dared to take a step forward. Only the leader of the general walked in front of He Mulan and lowered his head in despair.
The leader of the family did not know why the master did not kill the group of soldiers, causing them to be afraid of their heads and tails, otherwise the arrows would rain like rain, and there would be room for them to escape
"My skills are not as good as others, but I will make the Lord's family ridiculed in the future. Since this is the case..."
If he loses, he loses. The master humiliates his minister to death. He raised his arm and raised his sword on the spot. Seeing that he was about to slash himself, he took his own life to complete his loyalty!
Swish!
The sound of breaking the sky suddenly came, and the family felt a pain in the wrist, the long sword fell to the ground, and looked forward in astonishment.
He Mulan had already returned the sword to the sheath, and now she was holding a black-tipped whip. This whip is made of tough cowhide, and it is a weapon lent to her by Su Hejun for self-defense. It can reach near and far, and it is not easy to kill people.
Seeing that this man was indeed a role model of an ancient family general, He Mulan raised his hand and was about to kill himself. He immediately threw the whip and hit him on the wrist, causing him to let go of pain.
Seeing the tears in the eyes of this general, He Mulan sighed in her heart, "did a sin", and pulled out another whip, striking the long sword so far that it could not be picked up no matter what. around the waist again.
"You don't have to commit suicide. Loyalty is not expressed in this way. You are one of the best players in the Cui family. If you kill yourself here, next time you meet someone like me, who will protect the safety of the Cui family? Not everyone. They are as measured in their hands as I am."
"You, you don't even want to let me die! You..."
The man obviously couldn't understand what He Mulan meant and thought she was mocking him.
"No, I'm not very good at speaking. But I'm not laughing at you, I'm begging you."
He Mulan shook his head.
"What? You beg me?"
Jia will show a "you're kidding" expression.
"Yes, I ask you not to commit suicide."
He Mulan found that the paleness of her words was far inferior to the brilliance of her skills.
If innocent people are killed due to schemes and secret schemes, then she will become as bad as the person who framed Di Yefei.
What's more, she felt ridiculous to see a man kill himself because he lost to her.
"If I meet someone who is more powerful than me, I won't kill myself, I'll just continue to practice martial arts diligently, thinking about how to beat him, or live better than him..."
Before He Mulan could finish explaining, several scolding voices accompanied by inexplicable shouts like "Who are you and what are you doing?" entered the ears of everyone.
He Mulan turned around and looked, a scribe in a wide robe, long sleeves and disheveled hair was dragged out by Chen Jie and a few others, and was ruthlessly thrown into the courtyard in the middle of the Taoist temple.
The scribe was thrown and rolled a few times on the ground, slammed his head against the incense burner, made a loud "bang", and began to talk nonsense after screaming.
"You have the wrong person! Not me! Not me!"
"General, this is Liu Fang!"
Man Gu sneered and pointed to the Taoist priest who had chased after him.
"What these Taoists said!"
Those Taoists originally wanted to shout out a few words, but when they saw the blood on the head of the general, they thought that this man was killed all the way, and the Cui family's family at the door will mutter to himself with ashes, there is no such thing at all. No words, only know how to wave.
"Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, we are all just cultivators..."
"Liu Fang, when you gave this to Di Yefei, did you ever think about today?"
He Mulan took out a small wooden box from her arms and threw it in front of him.
Even if Liu Fang didn't know something, he understood when he saw the wooden box, his face was blue and white, and he suddenly slammed into the incense burner's foot!
Several people have been on guard against Liu Fang since he begged for mercy, and when he saw his expression changed, they reached out. When Liu Fang was about to hit the incense burner, several people had no time to hold him, so they had to stretch out their hands to block between the incense burner and his head. Then Liu Fang hit the arms of several people heavily, and he grinned in pain.
"Hey... You are resolute in seeking death!" Several people mentioned Liu Fang, "Why didn't you die early, why did you save your life to kill others? If you die early, there will be no such thing!"
Man Gu had never seen many thorns in the army. Seeing that Liu Fang failed to seek death once, but instead showed a sense of rebirth after a catastrophe, he knew that this person had already gathered all the courage to commit suicide just now, and that he had no courage to commit suicide any more. , immediately took Liu Fang and cut his hands behind his back, and asked the belt of a soldier of the Hu Ben Army to put it in his mouth, and brought him to He Mulan.
"General, what should I do?"
Then Liu Fang heard the words "General" and so on, and saw that she was full of suffocation, and her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up straight.
He Mulan looked at the disciple, and saw that he really had a face like a crown jade, and his appearance was extremely deceptive, so he won the trust of Di Yefei, thinking that he was a celebrity, took this medicine, and immediately raised his fist to him A hard punch in the face!
With this punch, the handsome man's face immediately swelled up. In addition, He Mulan used so much force that the bridge of his nose was directly broken, but his mouth was stuffed with the belt. He couldn't even shout, so he could only groan fainted.
"I can't help but fight like this? Well, yes, it's probably hollowed out by the medicine."
He Mulan snorted coldly, looking at Cui Hao and Cui Yuan who had already rushed over, and straightened her clothes.
"Leaders move their mouths and break their legs."
Thinking of Tuoba Tao's previous plans, He Mulan couldn't help but have a headache.
Although life is like a play, it all depends on acting.
- But this slap in the face is really exhausting for both parties.
***
A wine shop in Pingcheng.
This restaurant is quiet amid the hustle and bustle. It was set up by a high-class disciple to make friends and relatives. The arrangement is extremely elegant. The people who come and go are all famous and noble children in Pingcheng, mostly Han people. Most of the disciples took advantage of the gathering to talk and express their views.
Tuoba Tao was careful in employing people. Many of the children of the great clan did not hold official positions, so they could not help but idle around all day.
For example, the thirteenth son of the Lu family is the youngest son of Lu Xuan, an important official in the court.
"Hey, my uncle's family suffered a big loss yesterday, do you know?"
His uncle was "Cui Hao", and when everyone heard this sentence, they immediately froze.
This restaurant was originally similar to a salon. There were a group of people lying here, and they were all talking about current affairs that they were concerned about. There was a lot of noise. Suddenly, Lu Xuan was quiet, and the rest of the place was quiet.
The others who were far away originally couldn't hear the words of the inner circle of young masters over there, but they suddenly realized that no one else had spoken, and naturally stopped half of what they had said. In an instant, this place of hilarity, which is often full of people, was silent.
The noise of drinking in another small circle in the back hall, and the laughing sound of the son and servants in the corridor, suddenly spread from afar.
"Thirteenth Lu, what are you talking about? Hua Mulan entered the Cui Family Taoist Temple and captured a guest?"
There was a teenager who probably knew a thing or two from other places, and asked him in a low voice: "I heard that a lot of people died, is it true?"
"Who said people died? No matter how crazy Hua Mulan is, she wouldn't dare to kill people in Cui's house!"
Thirteenth Lang smiled and said, "Humans are not dead, but this Hua Mulan is too powerful, just 12 people broke into three times in a row, and entered the Taoist temple in the front yard of my uncle's house, which made my uncle lose face. "
"Later, Hua Mulan also brought her subordinates to apologize, and even sent back the gluttonous battle armor that my uncle bought, saying that she was ashamed and did not dare to use it again, but she could never get back the lost face. already."
These are teenagers who like to hear this kind of story the most, and now he urged Thirteenth Lu family to talk about things in detail. The thirteenth man of the Lu family came here originally at the behest of Cui Hao. Although he didn't know why the elders in the family wanted to disgrace his own face, he knew that adults had their own reasons for doing things. , how He Mulan found clues in the palace, and then went to the door to find the poisoner and explained it clearly.
His eloquence is really good, otherwise he would not have been an official or a loose attendant by the emperor's side. In addition, he is Cui Hao's nephew. Many of these things are unknown to outsiders, such as the origin of this guest. He said it clearly.
"Hey, Cui Taichang is also confused, how can Liu Songlai's scribes enter the door!"
"Now that the household registration is so messy, who can control it clearly."
"Is Di Yefei the lucky disciple of Cui Hao? Is it a fool to trust others so easily?"
Everyone was chatting, only one young man was stunned, and suddenly a sentence came out.
"Didn't you find out that this guest once stayed under King Le'an's house? Why do you think it was a conspiracy by Liu Song? Liu Song would never frame a nameless person..."
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent again. Seeing that the Thirteenth Lang of the Lu family had achieved his goal, he immediately turned to him, patted the young man on the head, and shouted.
"Nonsense again, drink! Drink!"
It's just that the seeds of doubt are still scattered like this.
