Most of the Hu people have a straightforward temperament, and they don't have too many fancy bowels, like Juqu Mujian, because they have lived in a very complicated court since childhood, and they have gradually become infected.
Most of the Hu people He Mulan came into contact with were outspoken by nature. Although Gai Wu, whom she knew in her previous life, was the leader of the Lushui Hu people in Xingcheng, he was also a little silly, but he still had some principles and attached great importance to friendship. , so he was able to become friends with He Mulan later, and even more frankly told her the secret of Yuan Jia Wubi.
The Gai Wu He Mulan knew was Gai Wu, who was already in his thirties, and now this little Gai Wu was only eighteen years old. In He Mulan's view, he was like his own "nephew", not only did he keep it Love, and the tone of reprimanding him is like an elder treating a junior.
However, the people who practice martial arts are originally "the strong are the leaders", and the Lushuihu people are even more of the weak, which was not worthy of Gai Wu's surprise at first.
What surprised him was He Mulan's strength from that finger, and the eyesight to find the weakness of his swordsmanship in the blink of an eye!
If everyone has such a terrifying ability, what are they going to do? As long as you drag it for a while, you can find the opponent's weakness and attack the weak with the strong. Where is the possibility of winning
There are many people in this world who can see through the weaknesses of the enemy, but can't do anything about the weaknesses of others, but Hua Mulan can see through the shortcomings of his swordsmanship and break his swordsmanship!
This has reached the realm of the top martial artist! Where can he show off? !
Lu Shuihu's philosophy of life is "not to offend the strong", otherwise there is no rule that the leader will retreat if he fails to compete with others.
Gai Wu is not yet the leader, at least he is a strong contender for the leader, otherwise he wouldn't say "I still have a family to support". With his swordsmanship, it is enough to go to any noble family to be a thug to support the family, but There are many people who want to come and support this servant who wants to fight for three taels of gold and one month.
He Mulan really wanted to help him, but she didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the Lu Shuihu people, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Lu Shuihu's Tiantai army about the mission to Beiliang. I was happy in my heart, but I was already mentally prepared to exclude Gai Wu.
Unexpectedly, Gai Wu bowed his head in surprise.
"Your Majesty's martial arts are amazing, please accept me!"
No matter how cheeky He Mulan was, she couldn't stand this worship. She was the one who really used the cheating device. With more than 30 years of experience and accumulation, coupled with Hua Mulan's natural divine power, she was familiar with him many times. One move to stop his attack is not an amazing martial art.
She took a step back slightly, pretending to hold up.
"You get up first, I'm older than you, and it's normal for my martial arts skills to be higher than yours."
Gai Wu did not believe such words. He had already defeated many masters older than him in the past, and even killed a lot of people, but he had never suffered such a setback.
Lu Shuihu's enthusiasm for the strong made him resolutely bow three times before standing up.
"Although I am young, I respect heroes the most. If the general is willing to take me by his side to learn martial arts, not only will I work for the dog, but I have 300 family members, all of whom are from Lushuihu, and they are all driven by the general at will."
After he finished saying this, he bit his lip as if in annoyance and blushed again and said, "However, it's better for the general... to make rice..."
The last two words were soft and low, and only He Mulan who was in front of her heard it, which made her almost burst into laughter.
Lushuihu people have been struggling on the line of extreme poverty, and it was unexpected ten years ago!
He Mulan had appeased everyone and ordered Chen Jie to send these "recommended" people out of the house, and said that he would give them an answer in three days. Although these translators were not hired on the spot, everyone had guesses in their hearts. Some of them knew that they were not easy to use, and they had already dragged their feet out.
Chen Jie seemed to be very satisfied with Gai Wu's knowledge of current affairs. When sending him out, he crooked his arm with his arm, and said with a smile on his face, "Wu Gai, are you frightened by our general's ability? He is more than capable. In this way, our generals know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. They can arrange troops and take the head of an admiral among ten thousand troops. Does the ghost know? Our generals were captured alive! Does Datan know? The general was killed! Hu Xia's Pingyuan Gong Helianding also suffered from the loss of my general, you have a good eye!"
He winked and asked again, "You said you had three hundred servants, but is that true?"
Oops, what does the General's Mansion lack the most right now? !
man!
Not even a sweeper!
Isn't this labor delivered to your door!
"It's not a servant." Gai Wu frowned, "It's a family member."
"Hey, what's the difference?"
Chen Jie was stunned.
Many nobles directly call domestic servants or family members "family", but they are actually servants, just to give dignity. Chen Jie thought that the "family" that Gai Wu was talking about was the family slaves and the like when the country was never destroyed. He also felt that the young master was so poor that he had to make a living for three taels of gold for a month. Three hundred family members. The numbers are exaggerated.
"It's all sections. Really three hundred people?"
Chen Jie asked with concern.
Gai Wu's subordinates are more than three hundred, but Pingcheng is not easy to enter. After breaking it down into pieces, only three hundred of his father's core staff entered Pingcheng and worked in Pingcheng, supporting themselves and the people in Xingcheng. family.
If he really wanted to convene, he would be able to gather them all within a day.
So the young master nodded.
"Some are my elders, some are my father's best friends, there are indeed three hundred."
Chen Jie raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So you are still a person with a lot of history! Our general has a good temper and ability. You chose the right path. Following our general, your martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds! Look at me, before I He's still a little centurion. After following our general, even a lieutenant can't beat me! I feed our general every morning, and I don't know how many knives and guns are destroyed. Although your knife skills are good, But in my opinion, it's not perfect enough, and if you have a lot of experience with my generals, maybe it's not far from Dacheng!"
Chen Jie then fooled around, bragging about He Mulan's ability in the sky and the ground.
"And you see, our general's mansion is very big, but no one is there? You don't have a place to live for your three hundred family members, right? Our general's mansion is completely empty! Only my general and our two personal soldiers live, even if it is a corner room. The matching room is enough for you! There is a roof, eaves and kitchen, what a wonderful place for monks!"
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains, Wind and Moon"
Chen Jie smiled and grinned, and patted Gai Wu on the shoulder.
"You work harder, I'm optimistic about you!"
When Gai Wu heard Chen Jie's words, he thought of the Lushuihu people living in bridge holes, shabby houses, temples, stables, firewood rooms, and other dark places. Thinking of entering the front hall and seeing many empty houses, he nodded heavily and said to Chen Jie gratefully:
"Thank you so much! I will try my best to make General Hua agree with me!"
After speaking, it seemed that he had found the goal of the future in life, and strode away with his head held high.
He must make General Hua agree with him!
must!
"Boy, your skills are quite good, but your brain is not very bright..." Chen Jie flickered away from Gai Wu, and stood at the door and muttered to himself: "It's so flickering, it's no wonder that the Xia Kingdom can't stay there once it is destroyed, and went to Pingcheng to make a living. …”
He squeezed his chin.
"I don't know if the general will take him in. Three hundred laborers. If you don't want money or silk, where can you find it..."
"What are you mumbling about all by yourself?" Seeing that Chen Jie hadn't entered for a long time, Man Gu slapped him on the head, "Stupid?"
"Who is stupid!"
Chen Jie regained his senses and bared his teeth at Man Gu.
"Go, go back to the general."
The two closed the door and went back to the front hall. They found that He Mulan was repeatedly reading the recommendation letters from the four people, and there were three missing on the table next to them, which were probably not needed.
Chen Jie and Man Gu didn't dare to take He Mulan's hand to look at it, they only looked at the other three. The one placed directly above was Gai Wu's. Obviously, He Mulan had excluded him.
"General, that kid named Wu Gai looks good, why don't you use him? He's convinced by you, and he doesn't even want the monthly money!"
Chen Jie looked at the recommendation book with pain.
"There are still three hundred servants for you!"
Save three taels of gold!
Their general gave him three pieces of cloth to make pocket flowers in a month!
It's true that people are more popular than dead people. He can also speak Xianbei and Chinese, and he can write!
"Is it an ordinary person who can use 300 servants?" He Mulan asked him lightly, "I have a shallow foundation, and I have been noticed by many parties, so it is best to keep a low profile. Suddenly there are three more people. Bai's subordinates, I don't know how many people will be jealous. Maybe that kid has a very special identity, and I can't mix it in. "
Chen Jie originally wanted to persuade, but after hearing He Mulan's explanation, he couldn't help but be convinced, so he could only look at the recommendation letter with distress.
'I would have known not to fool that kid. '
Chen Jie regretted in his heart.
'I don't know what he's going to do with it... just don't pester the general. '
He didn't dare to say that he had done something he shouldn't have done again, and was afraid that He Mulan would slap him again because of his arbitrariness, so he kept silent about the slamming at the door just now, and just curiously looked at the four in He Mulan's hands. Zhang recommends.
"Who are the generals interested in?"
"I want to keep Master Cixin, but I don't know if it will make people think that I am biased towards Buddhism." He Mulan rubbed her eyebrows and said with a headache.
This shows the disadvantage of her having no strategists. She is famous all over the world for her military power, and she naturally attracts those who are in the army or who worship heroes and want to fight with her on the battlefield, and those wise counselors and scribes will not be loyal to a rootless duckweed like her. of.
Her everything comes from that majesty, and she has no ill intentions, and her promotion depends entirely on fighting. Maybe some people think that she can only fight, and people who are really politically minded will not follow her.
Everything still depends on yourself.
Man Gu was ten years older than He Mulan and had a lot of knowledge, so he said disapprovingly, "I don't know how many monks there are in Wei, let alone an interpreter, there are both disciples and officials. There are also many monks who have become officials, govern the country, and use a wandering monk as a general!"
Chen Jie had a different opinion.
"Everyone outside is saying that our general is on good terms with Buddhist monks, and has a relationship with Kou Tianshi from Taoism. He is a man of both sides. It is better not to get into such a reputation, so as not to throw dirty water on yourself."
He thought for a while, "Why don't you just use that scribe, he doesn't want gold, isn't it great?"
"This man comes from a noble family, why did he follow the mission? I don't dare to use it." He Mulan sighed, "Could it be that I can only use the honest little official? Or the one who is familiar with the rules of Beiliang? Forget it, I'll think about it again, and think about these things tomorrow."
Her mind had been dazed by the sudden appearance of Master Cixin and Gai Wu, she only felt that the will of heaven was deliberately playing tricks on her, and she didn't know what these people meant by appearing in front of her earlier.
Master Cixin is okay, he was originally a monk who traveled everywhere, but Gai Wu...
There are more than three hundred people behind Gai Wu
She didn't want to "capitalize the enemy" inadvertently.
The current Gai Wu has not yet become the leader, right? She doesn't go into this muddy water.
If a man transmigrated to the identity of Hua Mulan, I am afraid that he would have to find a way to accept the younger brother Gai Wu, but He Mulan is a calm person, and he has the accumulation left by Hua Mulan, knowing that his foundation is too weak to be able to do it. She has the bargaining chip to control the Lu Shuihu people, and there is no smart enough person to always point out her wrong, so she only has a lot of trouble to accept this little brother.
But there are some things that she can't avoid because she is afraid of trouble.
Early the next morning, He Mulan was about to go out of the city to see how the camp in the suburbs was doing. As soon as he went out, he found a young man sitting outside the door with his arms around his knees and his chin on his knees. As soon as he saw He Mulan coming out , immediately stabbed to stand up and came forward.
He walked up to him without saying a word, only stubbornly followed He Mulan with his disciple ceremony, and wanted to take Yueying's reins from Chen Jie's hand to lead a horse for He Mulan. Yue Ying snorted with snot on his face.
This young man was Gai Wu who went back yesterday.
When Chen Jie saw that Gai Wu really appeared, he wanted to stuff his head into Yue Ying's horse's mane. And Gai Wu just wiped the snot from his face calmly, and said respectfully: "General Hua, in order to show my respect, I decided to..."
Swish!
He Mulan got on his horse neatly and neatly, and when he caught the horse's belly, he disappeared instantly.
Only Chen Jie, who was embarrassed, and Man Gu, who was watching the fun, looked at the embarrassed teenager sympathetically.
Gai Wu's heart seemed to be torn into pieces by someone, and he only heard the sound of "hee hee hee hee" from Yueying in the distance, and only felt that the horses were laughing at him.
"Uh... that... sincerity thing, take your time... take your time... my general is in a hurry in the morning... "
Chen Jie wiped away the cold sweat.
In a hurry, they pulled them all down in order to avoid this guy named "Wu Gai"!
Gai Wu looked at the two soldiers who were also left behind, stroked his chest, and continued to sit back at the gate, leaning on the door and closing his eyes, as if he was going to wait until He Mulan returned to the house.
Chen Jie was really dumbfounded.
***
Choi House.
Di Yefei's homework has been good recently, and he has even been praised by Cui Hao for his character learning.
In addition, since the rise of He Mulan's reputation, the Cui family still has a very kind attitude towards Di Yefei, and even some of the poor people in the past have been driven away. Di Yefei can come and go freely. Happy spring.
Today, he was going to ask Cui Hao about some things in the Gaoche Huben army, so he went to Cui Hao's courtyard to ask for it. He heard Cui Hao's voice vaguely when passing by a small pavilion in the garden, so he excitedly boarded the pavilion, but found the pavilion. There was no one in there.
Huh? Was there any sound just now
Di Yefei looked around inexplicably, but found that the sound did not come from the pavilion, but below the pavilion.
This pavilion was built on a high soil slope, with a pavilion built on a small road in the middle, but the other side fell straight down like a cliff, and there was a bamboo forest below.
The bamboo forest was very remote, and it was winter again, and there was no scenery to speak of, so Cui Hao was a little surprised to talk to people in the bamboo forest.
"There is no prophecy and can't stay. He actually told His Majesty the story of the Shanshan Kingdom in the Western Regions, and used exams to make people officials? It's ridiculous! Then any cat or dog can become an official! What to take exams? Governing the country can use exams to take exams. come out?"
Cui Hao's suppressed anger sounded into Di Yefei's ears, causing him to freeze suddenly.
take an exam
Work
Di Yefei knew to see no evil and hear no evil, so he quietly lowered his body and prepared to go back the same way, not wanting to hear any more.
But one person's name stopped him.
"That Hua Mulan is too famous now."
Di Yefei couldn't hear the speaker's voice, and he didn't dare to look down at the edge of the pavilion, so he could only stop and listen carefully.
"Although I don't show any intention of leaning towards the Han clan now, all the Han clan in the army now take him as a model..."
"He can't move! He is the 'golden horse bone' set up by His Majesty! We don't care how the army employs people. Anyway, the Han people have fought fiercely since ancient times, and he is protected by the He Lai family. They have the same position as us when it comes to serving, but in the military, we are not able to reach out.”
If Cui Hao wanted to protect the remaining discourse power of the northern gentry, he could not allow a large number of Han people to serve in the court, which would dilute the power of the clan and the gentry.
Di Yefei breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing in his heart that his beloved gentleman would not do anything against his purpose, and stepped back little by little.
"Let's get rid of Tan Wu's prophecy, Buddhism has repeatedly wanted to intervene in government affairs, and this person almost became the national teacher of Bei Liang. Who knows what ulterior motives... He actually sent it to the door himself and said that he killed Hua Mulan, Isn't it very suspicious? It's also a trick that Buddhists often play..."
Di Yefei fled down the small slope in a vain step, trembling with fear at the occasional glimpse of the other side of Cui Hao, almost to the point of restlessness.
' except what does that mean? '
He almost ran out of the garden in a panic, his heart beating like a drum.
Does the master want to kill
