Chapter 478: Willow Yiyi

Views:

On the second day, all the fellows got up with deep dark circles under their eyes. Di Yefei originally woke up in the morning and saw that his face and eye circles were still a little embarrassing. When he went out for breakfast, he found that everyone was In this way, you will feel at ease all of a sudden.

To everyone's disappointment, He Mulan, who was dressed in women's clothes last night, reappeared this morning in a man's casual clothes, and the traces of last night's surprise were gone. sigh.

"I can't draw, it's a pity!"

This is Toro Daman.

"If only there was a spell that could turn last night's fire into a painting and save it!"

Here are some people.

"Fortunately, it has returned to normal today, otherwise it can be predicted that it will be another Shura hell..."

This is Narohun.

"Wuwuwu, I was wrong! I didn't show my admiration by hugging my thighs!"

This is Chen Jie.

"What are you talking about?"

This is Zheng Zong, who deeply feels that he has been rejected again.

Di Yefei and Yuan Fang whispered about the origin of the clothes and jewelry last night. Di Yefei felt that those things were familiar, as if he had them. After learning that they were jewelry from Beiliang, Di Yefei immediately realized why Familiar to his eyes - of course he is familiar, as the main general of Gao Che Hu Ben, there are many such jewelry in his trophies.

Di Yefei, who originally wanted to bring them back to China and exchange them for money, suddenly felt that he was not short of money.

"Adanzhuo, where is your grandfather?"

He Mulan looked left and right, and found that only A Shan Zhiqi was not there, she couldn't help but wonder, "Why did you leave you alone?"

"Going to pick up Uncle Hu Lihun!" A Danzhuo snorted at the chicken shredded rice porridge he had never had before, and answered inarticulately: "Leave early in the morning!"

"Yes, I rode away in the morning." Yuan Fang was the first to respond, "I forgot to tell the general."

They were here as guests, so naturally they came and went freely. He Mulan didn't get up early in the morning for the first time in history. A'Dan Zhiqi rushed to find He Mulan and told Yuan Fang to leave.

"General Hua, I see that you are very happy today. Did something good happen?"

While drinking porridge, Zheng Zong kept looking at He Mulan from the corner of his eye.

"Have you found it?" He Mulan smiled slightly. "I figured out some things, so I feel a lot better."

It was very inconvenient for her to hold a chopstick with one hand. Di Yefei moved a few dishes that He Mulan liked to eat in front of her, causing her to smile:

"It doesn't have to be, I can get it."

Di Yefei didn't say much, nodded, and continued to eat his porridge, quietly like a painting, but he was already thinking quickly in his heart.

'The fire chief figured out some things, what are those things? Did you figure it out after going out with Adan Zhiqi last night? '

Di Yefei's chopsticks froze.

'With A'Shan Zhiqi's character, he must have been enlightened. Either way, it's a bit of a benefit after all, it's better than Huo Chang being troubled alone...'

When Zheng Zong saw Di Yefei "holding his thighs", he immediately picked up a chopstick and put it in He Mulan's bowl, and laughed: "General Hua's 'round table' is really good, everyone can be there Eating at a table is more lively than a table!"

The "furniture" in He Mulan's mansion has long been famous because of the visit of the dandy during this time. Because He Mulan recommended the carpenter in Mutong Lane to interested Langjun and girls, now the carpenter There was also a job, and another shop was opened in Dongcheng, specializing in "private custom" such "Hua's furniture".

The carpenter had also brought a generous gift to thank He Mulan before. In this era, "piracy" is not a trivial matter, even if the reputation is ruined. Since He Mulan is willing to recommend this carpenter to others, he definitely doesn't mind him promoting this type of furniture, so he came forward to accept his generous gift and told him that he could continue to make these furniture, and he would not hold him accountable. I don't even know how to open a furniture store.

If He Mulan didn't accept his gift, he wouldn't dare to open a shop. Because He Mulan not only accepted but also showed no interest in this piece, the carpenter immediately kneeled down and thanked her with sincerity. Grace, not only guarantees that he will pack the furniture of Huafu in the future, but also names the new furniture "General Stool", "General Table", etc., which is to inform others of its origin.

The rest is okay, but "General Hua collapsed" makes people speechless, but this "General Hua collapsed", which was born out of "the couch of the imperial concubine", is still the best seller. It seems that there is no soft couch in the house that can't keep up with the trend, congratulations. Mulan could only hide her face and recognize that she had become a bad name.

He Mulan's face brightened a bit when he heard Zheng Zong's praise for this round table, "This is a small one, there are bigger ones, I'm going to have someone make a turntable, so that everyone can get the dishes. ."

"Huh? Can it still be like this?"

A few people in Tuluo were curious, and asked He Mulan about the situation of "turning the table". They were very happy early in the morning. to Montenegro.

Just when a group of people started to discuss the table issue, Hu Benjun, who had returned from patrolling outside, entered the main courtyard breathlessly and shouted loudly.

"General! General! It's sunny! Those gentlemen and girls are here again!"

What the hell!

What is the rhythm of visiting General Huwei's Mansion as a garden

Can you leave a way out

"here we go again… "

He Mulan covered her face and sighed.

"This meal is not over yet!"

"what happened?"

Toluo Daman and several people looked at Chen Jie inexplicably.

"Ever since the general's identity as a woman was revealed, even if His Majesty ordered the general to think about it behind closed doors, many people come here every day, some want to follow the general to become a 'Department of Women', and some want to learn from a teacher. And simply wondering what a female general looks like, so annoying..."

Chen Jie got angry when he said this.

"Some people are too big, and I don't dare to shoot. The general's arm is injured, and some of them have to try their martial arts skills. It's a goddamn..."

He clenched his fists with a green face.

"Actually, it's all okay, but I'm just too curious. I really know friends, but these days, I've come to my door less, but I keep writing letters..." He Mulan was talking about Dugunuo and others.

No anti-theft novel network

"Wait a minute, I'll send them off..."

"You are injured, where do you need to go." Zheng Zong smiled "gently", and Yuan Fang and others who knew his personality shuddered, "We will meet these 'curious' people."

Tuluo Daman was not familiar with Zheng Zong, but he had a straightforward temperament and laughed when he heard the words: "Although this guy looks weak, he has a good temperament! Let's go, let's go and kill them together!"

"I'm going to have a look too."

Several people stood up with dark faces. "We got together with the fire, and we stirred up these people!"

"Cough, that number, your cousin is also there." Na Luo rubbed his brows. "That girl from several families, your cousin's daughter..."

"Liu Niang?" Several people's faces turned green, "Isn't she at home?"

"I heard that your mother-in-law invited her to come to stay with you, your sister who is about to get married."

"Why did the fourteenth mother get involved? Oh my god..."

Some people have some postures to shrink.

"I-I-I-I'm still--"

Di Yefei glanced at a few people disdainfully, and nodded to Zheng Zong and Tuluo Da Man, "Let's go, let's take a look..."

The good people immediately followed Di Yefei. Di Yefei was also familiar with the way in Hua's house, and he didn't even need to lead the way.

"Hey... hey... be gentle!"

He Mulan hadn't finished drinking the porridge in her hand, so she drank three or two mouthfuls and quickly threw the bowl to catch up.

"They're all good kids, don't scare people..."

***

Di Yefei reported to the military mansion and the military camp. Today, he should have gone to the palace to plead guilty to Tuoba Tao, but since yesterday, there has been an evil fire in his heart that has nowhere to vent. These unfortunate sons and daughters are just right After hitting the muzzle, Di Yefei was not a kind-hearted dog, and he had no brothers and sisters to take care of, so he went straight to the door.

Zheng Zong is similar, but compared to Di Yefei, his methods are more subtle. He, who follows behind Di Yefei, looks more like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark and ready to devour someone at any time. From Di Yefei, the beautiful overlord flower, Yuan Fang was even more worried that Zheng Zong was playing yin again.

Rao was how they were prepared. As soon as they went out, they found that several servants at the door of Hua's house were holding Mu Yan, and the other Langjun were bickering with each other, and they were immediately angry.

Mu Yan is used to beg for marriage, and their family is the most powerful, and it is their turn to get these boys who haven't dried their lanugo to beg for marriage? The guts are too fat!

"You are eight years younger than General Hua, and you don't even have a name. It's obvious that you want to marry General Hua because of your background, so you're embarrassed to come here!" You go to pee and look in the mirror to see if you have the ability!"

"You were born holding General Hua's thighs, you gasped when you said you were fat, don't laugh at a hundred paces!" The ridiculed Lang Jun shook the reins in his hands, "I'm handsome anyway. Which woman doesn't love a handsome man?"

"Really?"

Zheng Zong paced over, stretched out his face and looked at the two princes who were arguing.

One handsome, one handsome, and indeed they are both handsome men.

It's good, good, good...

It makes people want to pinch their golden and jade-like faces!

Zheng Zong, who felt that his claws were a little itchy, felt that his fingers were even more itchy after he frowned after seeing the two of them seeing his face.

"The two came with Mu Yan to ask for a kiss from General Hua?"

Zheng Zong asked with a smile.

"Who are you? When will there be another person in General Hua's mansion?"

Yu Wenlang relied on following He Mulan to fight against Rouran, and acted as if he knew Huafu well.

"Why do you care when I come to the door?"

"I'm the one beside Your Majesty, the envoy who just returned to China from Bei Liang, the life-and-death acquaintance of General Hua, the adjutant of the waiting officer Lingsu and Jun..."

Zheng Zong showed an unfathomable look, and the scars on his face added a bit of mysterious momentum to him.

"You ask who I am?"

No matter how mad Yuwen was, he didn't dare to offend Sheren beside Tuoba Tao (passed) and the lieutenant of the head of the egret official.

"I have seen this envoy."

He raised his body and looked straight at Zheng Zong, then glanced back, and was suddenly stunned.

Di Yefei in uniform stood there with a chuckle of disdain, just a glance was enough to make everyone dumbfounded. Xiao Shuxuan's actions made people look at him.

Di Yefei's beauty is poisonous.

"I don't know who this is..."

I heard that there are often girls in General Hua's mansion who want to work under her tent. Some of them are wearing military uniforms and riding horses. Could it be...

Although he is a little older and his hair is inexplicably white, he is so stunning...

'Humph, come to ask for a kiss from General Hua, how dare you ask others? '

Zheng Zong sneered in his heart and hummed, "It seems that this gentleman is going to take back Mu Yan?"

When Yuwen Lang heard Zheng Zong's sneer, he couldn't help stunned, and quickly waved his hand: "No no no, I'm just curious why there is another female general..."

Oops!

Someone is going to be unlucky!

Tuluo Daman and several others covered their eyes, unable to bear to look directly.

Bang!

"Ahhh!"

dong dong dong dong.

After a scream, Yuwen Langjun, who was deliberately dressed up, felt that the world was spinning, and he only had time to make a cry, and he was thrown directly under the steps of the Hua's house, and his whole body was covered with traces.

Yuwen Langjun got up from the ground in embarrassment, only to find that the white-haired female general was standing on the steps, looking down at himself covered in mud with a half smile.

"With the three-legged cat's kung fu, where does the confidence come from?"

Di Yefei finished hurting his body, but also hurt his mind.

"You can't even get past me, and you still want to enter?"

"You are despicable, you are a sneak attack!"

No matter how good Di Yefei looks, these powerful children are not babes who have never seen a woman before. Being humiliated like this, no matter how much goodwill they have, it will be a big fight when they lift their sleeves.

"Let's try again!"

"General Hua lied!"

Just before the sword was drawn, a high-pitched female voice suddenly came out.

"Didn't you say no female soldiers? Where did this person come from!"

"That's right! Even middle-aged women are accepted, so why not accept us young and strong!"

The slender girl who looks weak and seems to be able to blow away with her breath speaks out of her conscience that she is "strong", causing Toluo Daman to laugh sullenly.

"Middle-aged woman..."

Di Yefei's face was full of blue veins, and he stared at her with gritted teeth.

"That's right, I mean you! What's your status to let General Hua open the back door for you?" The girl stomped her feet angrily.

"Don't think that you can get through if you are tall, I am not weak at all!"

"These people are crazy..."

Tuluo rubbed his eyes and looked at a pile of Yingyingyanyan suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I can be considered a strong general in the army, why don't so many women come to my door..."

"Because you're ugly."

Several people spoke coldly.

"Is Huo Chang beautiful?"

Toro sternly retorted.

"Look at last night, don't you think that Huochang's women's clothes can actually be very... very... "

Several people originally wanted to use beautiful, but found that beautiful seemed indescribable, and they couldn't find other words, so they scratched their ears for a long time.

"What is it? Is General Hua's women's clothes beautiful?"

A soft and thin voice appeared in the ears of several people.

"Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very imposing! I have never seen such a woman before... Huh?" Several people were scared back three steps by the smiling face that suddenly appeared in front of them, and shouted while covering their hearts.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?" The beautiful girl with an oval face said with a smile, "Why haven't I seen you at Hua's house? You haven't said yet, are General Hua's women's clothes beautiful?"

"Huh? Is it really beautiful? General Hua refuses to wear women's clothes to show us!"

"Who are you all, why are you by General Hua's side?"

A group of women rushed up and attacked several people and Tuluo Daman beside him, forcing the two to back away and shouting.

"Di Yefei, help!"

"Di Yefei, there is a group of unreasonable people here!"

"You are Gao Che Hu Ben Sima Di Ye Fei?" Yu Chi Yan looked around at the white-haired man and nodded involuntarily. "It looks really good, but it looks too much like a woman. Even someone who looks like you can join the army in the army, why can't we?"

"Have you killed someone? Beheaded? Can you strip your comrade's shirt and armor? Can you cut off your comrade's amputated limb and arm?"

Di Yefei shot Yuchiyan coldly and contemptuously.

"you… "

"You don't even know what it means to go to the battlefield..." Di Yefei swept across a group of men and women. "Do you think that if you are hiding under the protection of your personal soldiers and walking back and forth on the battlefield like playing a game, you have killed the enemy? If you have not experienced the real battlefield, you are not on the battlefield at all..."

He looked at the stunned girls and pointed to Zheng Zong beside him.

"He was just a civil servant. He was originally a handsome young man with a bright future. Because he was caught in an ambush, his appearance was completely ruined and his body was covered in bruises. He was born and died in Beiliang. You look like heaven, but you can be ruthless and accept such a result?"

Zheng Zong's face was hideous, which really made many girls dare not approach. When he heard Di Yefei say this, he immediately pulled back his shirt a little bit, exposing the skin on the back of his neck that extended to his back.

The entire shoulders and backs seemed to have been peeled off by someone. They were all bright red, and they looked terrifying like a "skin man". Several girls suddenly gasped and covered their mouths. Want to gag.

A few men didn't look much better, and their faces were a little ugly.

Tu Luo Daman sighed, fearing that Di Yefei would make the situation too rigid, and he persuaded: "You are harassing General Hua like a monkey, which is actually a kind of blasphemy to her. Although Chief Huo is a woman, she is not. Since she was a pawn, she has been killed with one knife and one shot. We have been in the army with her for so long, and no one knew she was a woman. You can imagine how much she endured. If you enter the army as a woman, others will look at her differently. I can watch you die..."

"Don't have to explain so much to them!"

Several people raised their eyebrows.

"Didn't you ask us who we are? I might as well tell you, we are Hua Mulan's former co-fire in the army and want to enter the house?"

He raised his hand and patted the stone statue in front of the door!

Snapped!

"Let's knock us down first!"

All of a sudden, the gangsters and girls surrounding the door suddenly realized, no wonder they were so confident, it turned out to be the same fire before Hua Mulan!

The men began to look at these men one after another, especially focusing on Tuluo Daman's knotted muscles and Naluo's cold murderous aura, while the women gathered together and whispered about Di Yefei's beauty and several people. The cuteness, I wonder how people like them who seem to be invincible can join the army and kill the enemy.

Only the curious girl from before glanced at them left and right, "So you are the same fire with General Hua? But we are not here to play, but we want to be friends with General Hua, and we must treat you first. beat?"

"People gather by like, and things are divided into groups. If you want to be friends, of course you have to have common skills." Several people crossed their hands and said proudly: "Otherwise, what do you want my fire chief to talk to you? How to dress? Eyebrows?"

"Is that so..." The girl nodded. "Then I won't join in the fun. I really only know how to dress and draw my eyebrows. I thought that General Hua's eyebrows needed to be repaired, and the chapped skin on his face should be taken care of. I also brought home balm. Here we go, since you say so..."

She looked down weakly.

"Looks like I've come here for nothing..."

She walked back a little dejected, only to find that it was suddenly dark.

Raising his head, he saw the cold-faced white-haired general standing in front of him.

"You..." He pointed to the door at her, "take your things and go in."

"what?"

The girl's round almond-eyed boss.

"Is it really possible?"

"Speaking of which, the frostbite on Huo Chang's face always develops, and it itches in winter. It's really time to take good care of it..." Na Luo rubbed his chin.

"Or let her in?"

"Row!"

"to make!"

The round-eyed and round-faced girl happily ordered the maids to carry the boxes, and walked through the door in three or two. After entering, she grimaced at the unbelievable men outside, and trotted away with her head held high.

"Why can she go in?"

Yuchiyan frowned.

"She didn't beat you!"

"Because she noticed the old sores on Huochang's face." Di Yefei stood with his arms folded and said impatiently, "You want to see Huochang, you are just curious or want to get something from her, but she Thinking about what you can do for Pyro. You guys…”

He lifted his eyelids lightly.

"…it's disgusting."

"you!"

"you… "

Nice job!

Zheng Zong also stood out with a smile, and smiled at the desperate princes:

"You are here to ask for a kiss? Even if you ask for a kiss, you have to report to the house first, right?"

He skillfully took out a booklet from his arms, took out the pen from the pen pocket at his waist, and licked it with saliva. "Come on, tell me who you are, where you live, how old you are, what skills you have..."

Zheng Zong laughed while writing, but he had other plans in mind.

'I don't believe that you have no evil at all, I will go back and inquire to see if you have any prostitutes, concubines, bullying men and women, or you can 'publicize' your reputation, and wait for your notoriety When you are far away, I see that you still have the face to ask for relatives! '

The Mao notes in his hand are detailed, and he has a consistent smile on his face.

'Want to marry General Hua? I will let you never get a wife in your life! '

***

There was a lot of noise in front of the Huafu gate, but Adan Zhiqi, who left the city early, was completely unaware. He did not go out specifically to pick up Hu Lihun, but to meet someone.

A high-ranking person in the Wei Dynasty.

"Have you convinced Hua Mulan?"

Kumoti, who had been waiting for a long time, grabbed a willow and asked Ah Shan Zhiqi in front of him.

A'Dan Zhiqi respectfully bowed to Kumoti, bowed first, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for the entrustment of the commander, but I didn't convince Mulan."

In fact, he had no intention of convincing her at all.

"Didn't you say that Hua Mulan trusts you the most?"

Standing behind Kumoti, a man who looked somewhat similar to Kumoti spoke with a displeased expression.

"Why can't you convince her?"

A Shan Zhiqi looked at the man and then at Kumoti.

"This is my cousin."

Kumoti, the cousin of Dawei, explained his identity casually.

"He... admires General Hua."

A-Dan Zhiqi put away the doubts in his heart and said sternly: "I talked with the fire chief last night, it's not that she doesn't want to lead any more troops, but she has a debt in her heart. The debt to the Hu Ben army, who died in vain, is due to so many reasons. The indebtedness of the people of other countries who died in vain due to the expansion of the Wei Kingdom. She is different from us, her 'Dao' made her very painful, and even holding a high position felt like a 'steal'."

"steal?"

Kumoti repeated curiously.

"Yes. 'They are dead, but I am alive. I stole their future and took this position.', 'In order to win, so many people had to be sacrificed. After the Great Wei conquered other countries, these people really Will I live a good life? Will my actions be a mistake?', 'If I continue to be a general, will the court of Wei State fall into a new battle because of me? I continue to be an official, really Do you feel at ease?’…”

A Shan Zhiqi pointed out the fear in He Mulan's heart.

"Maybe in your opinion, these worries are a bit funny, but it is precisely because Huo Chang is such a person that we sincerely respect her and love her." A Shan Zhiqi glanced behind Kumoti thoughtfully The man's expression became more serious.

"So, we can't force her."

"Then what should we do?" The man behind Kumoti scratched his head in annoyance. "I don't think that for a woman like her, it is the best ending to get rid of her armor and return to the field. If you want to take care of the former family members of the same robe, you can't do it without an identity. The unarmed return is just an escape!"

"I think I can let her go out for a walk first and have a look."

A Shan Zhiqi sighed.

"Didn't she think that Wei's conquest of other countries might make those survivors more miserable? But what I have seen when I traveled to various places is the satisfaction that the people of various places have finally settled down and lived after the unification of the Great Wei. Since she was an adult, Hua Mulan has been She has been living in the army, and all she sees is conquest, slaughter, siege, and destruction of the country, it is better to let her go out for a walk and figure out what she wants."

He bent down at Kumoti again, his eyes fixed on the man behind him.

"I believe that the majesty of our country is a majesty who can make Hua Mulan see hope. I believe that my great Wei is a great Wei who is going to be better. Once Hua Mulan finds out that Wei needs more people like her, will choose to come back…”

He bent down deeply.

"Since she will eventually come back, wouldn't it be a kind of respect to let her go?"

Kumoti and his cousin looked at the humble man in front of them and couldn't refute them.

"I see… "

Cuomoti nodded.

"Go ahead."

After a long while, A'Dan Zhiqi moved farther and farther away from Hu Lihun's figure outside the city, and the man beside Kumoti turned his head and asked about Kumoti.

"Do you think what he said... is my insistence wrong?"

"It's not that you are wrong, nor that Hua Mulan is wrong, but that everyone is caught off guard when things are changing." Kumoti comforted his cousin, Tuoba Tao: "Even Adan Zhiqi Seeing Mulan's confusion, can't you really see it?"

"She promised me that she would work with me to create a better Dawei..." Tuoba Tao's expression was a little gloomy, "Is something wrong with me that made her feel uneasy?"

Kumoti played with the willow branch in his hand and said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't act like a spoiled child. She is your general, not your son or daughter."

"You... what did you say!"

Tuoba Tao's eyes widened.

"What is coquettish!"

"In my opinion, you are no different from acting like a spoiled child. A'Dan Zhiqi is right. Since she has no confidence, you should give her confidence again. Since she feels tired, you should support her more. Since she feels The military household system has great flaws. You should ask her for her opinion on how to change it. After so many days, Your Majesty has been smooth sailing. Have you forgotten the days when you won the affirmation of the ministers? When you first ascended the throne, you encountered such a situation Is there anything less?"

Tuoba Tao, who was shocked by Kumoti's words, trembled all over.

"I... am I too arrogant?"

Tuoba Tao blinked in confusion.

"Unification of the Central Plains, His Majesty's new sect has begun again, just like you just ascended the throne from the prince. Since it is a new sect, there may be some new changes. Hua Mulan is indeed a famous general, but her role is not only to fight wars , Your Majesty might as well look a little farther, for example..."

He smiled at the prompt.

"How about starting with the 'pacification envoy' who investigates the situation in the military palaces around the world? There is no one more suitable than her, she is so soft-hearted, so upright..."

"you… "

It was only now that Tuoba Tao came over.

"Did you mention me like that on purpose? You also brought Hua Mulan's fellow fire..."

"Ah, if you don't solve this problem quickly, the world will be in chaos! The soldiers of Montenegro are going crazy now, you know, Gai Wu has returned to Xingcheng since Hua Mulan went to Nanshan. I heard that the Tiantai Army is now involved. Daqi has rebuilt the army, and you don't want the Lushui Hu people to rush into Pingcheng to 'save people', right? The so-called make the best use of people, can you stop thinking about the war? Is there less? Do we still lack generals who can fight in Wei? I wanted to say it for a long time... "

"Shut up, why are you so nagging now!"

"When I meet a 'cousin' like you, can I stop nagging? Don't run! Last time I told you about the pension issue of the Montenegrin Army... Hey... Hey... Don't run!"

Kumoti, who kept nagging, looked at Tuoba Tao, who was running into the city on horseback, and couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I can only help you get here."

Kumoti squeezed the willow branch, sneered, left the willow branch behind, and got on his horse.

By the moat, the willows along the banks have been swaying with the wind, and the willow branches have been washed out by the rain for many days, like a jade belt surrounding the city.

"I've been there in the past, Yang Liu Yiyi...

Now let me think about it, Yu Xue Fei Fei... "

"You are too mother-in-law, listen to me!"

In a field of willows, the sturdy and heroic men galloped and galloped, and there was a faint sound of singing.

"Don't catch the whip when you mount the horse, but bend the willow branches instead.

Get off the horse and play the flute, worry about killing the guests..."
