When Chen Jie woke up, he felt that it was very noisy outside and the room was dark.
This sound is not like the noise in the market, in the chaos, there is a slightly ambiguous voice and deliberate teasing.
After spending twelve years in the military camp from being a teenager to a young man, Chen Jie, who is now in his 30s, became inexplicably hard after hearing this gentle voice.
Uh…
It must be the one who gets up every day.
It has nothing to do with outside sounds.
Chen Jie pressed his face against the wall beside him in a little embarrassment to reduce the heat of his body.
wrong!
Where is the stench-filled little classroom in that prison
If it was that room, how dare he put his face on the wall!
"Are you awake?" A woman's voice came over, and a small face timidly stuck out from the corner.
Because the room was too dark, Chen Jie couldn't see her face at all, and only felt that her voice was low like a mosquito.
She was speaking Chinese.
Chen Jiechang had never dealt with women at such a young age, and when he saw a woman suddenly appearing in the room, his eyes almost bulged out in shock.
"Who are you? Where is this? Where are the Hu people who brought me here?" Chen Jie quickly spit out a lot of questions. Due to the rapid breathing, the severe pain between his ribs made him grit his teeth. grunted.
Seeing that his face suddenly changed greatly, the girl came over with some worry, but did not approach.
"Are you OK?"
Chen Jie had preconceived her as a group of Gai Wu, and did not dare to relax any vigilance against her, even her white cloth skirt that looked washed seemed to be some kind of danger.
There must be some kind of weapon under the skirt!
He won't be fooled!
The two faced each other for a while, staring so wide that their eyes were sore, the girl looked like she was about to cry, and Chen Jie also felt a fever in her stomach.
Are they poisoned
Could it be the poison that made his bowels rot
coo.
Cuckoo cuckoo.
"Pfft!" The girl laughed, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
"Are you hungry? I'll bring you porridge and rice."
Chen Jie blushed at her smile, and said like a mosquito:
"Yes... there is work."
The girl quickly brought a bowl of chestnut porridge from outside. The chestnut rice was not easy to digest, so the porridge was boiled very thinly. Chen Jie was hungry, took the bowl with one hand and began to snort.
"Be careful! They say your ribs are cracked, so you can't move!" The girl was very nervous, looking at Chen Jie drinking porridge as if he were drinking hot iron.

Chen Jie drank a lot of water and was full, and his stomach was no longer burning, and his ribs were no longer numb. Handed the bowl to the girl and asked again.
"Who are you? Where is this? Where are the barbarians who brought me here?"
"My name is Ruluo, I can't tell you where it is. Master Gai Wu said that when they come back, they will tell you."
Ru Luo Nu took the bowl, took a few steps back, and shrank to the corner again.
Chen Jie knew from her words that it was indeed the man named "Gai Wu" in the mouth of his general who stole him. But his reason...
That reason...
Oh shit!
Who wants to save him!
The general of his family has already brought a big man to rescue him!
Thinking of this, Chen Jie became very angry. Coupled with the non-stop charming laughter outside, he was even more irritable and wanted to scratch the wall.
hateful! Those damn thieves, how did he know when they would come? He still has to lie in bed like a prostitute and wait for them to come...
Huh, wait.
"Is this a brothel?" Chen Jie became more and more like him.
The dark room, the teasing outside, and all kinds of strange noises that make one's heart tick...
Isn't it similar to the prostitutes he passed by every time
There are also times of rest in the military. Even at the border, occasionally there will be criminals who are punished into prostitutes, or there are women who volunteer to come to earn money and silk to relieve the sex of men.
Chen Jie had been curious before, but when he entered, he was taken aback by the sight of the long queue. Although he had no cleanliness, he felt uncomfortable watching it, so he didn't try it.
But now, in this situation, he had to think about it.
Ru Luo Nu sighed greatly.
"Although it's not a brothel, it's almost there."
"Yes, yes, no, no, what does it mean?" Chen Jie snorted, making himself more comfortable. "You women like to be hesitant when you talk. It's better for our generals."
"That's what you said." Ru Luonu's voice was full of smiles, "It's like your general is a woman. You said your general, you are also a soldier?"
"It doesn't make much sense to talk to your little girl. My general..." Chen Jie's tone was full of pride, "Have you heard of Hua Mulan?"
"Oh my God..." Ru Luo Nu's voice was suddenly suppressed. "Are you his subordinate?"
"Well." Chen Jie nodded in the dark.
"Don't tell Master Gai Wu that you are Hua Mulan's subordinate." Ru Luo Nu closed her voice in fright. "Master Gai Wu seems to have a grudge against her. Bai Ma gritted his teeth as soon as he mentioned Hua Mulan. I heard that Master Gai Wu's ribs were broken by her."
"There are not many in this world who can beat my generals alone."
Chen Jie was not surprised at all.
"But if they can't beat General Hua, they might get angry with you!"
Chen Jie was silent.
Don't these people even know that he is General Hua's subordinate
Yes, he rarely advertises it outside.
In fact, their colleagues rarely say how close they were to Hua Mulan. If Mulan was a man, they would naturally pat their chests when they were drunk, saying how they would wear a pair of trousers with that general Hua, and how to eat in a bowl.
But Mulan has become a woman, so these words shouldn't be shouted.
This is their tacit understanding and protection of the general's reputation.
"You and Gai Wu... Aren't they from the same group?" Chen Jie asked.
If it's a group, why remind him of such a thing.
"I'm not in the same group as anyone." Ru Luo Nu's voice lowered again. "I'm just a slave."
Chen Jie looked for her face in the dark in surprise.
The Hu people like to keep domestic slaves, and the north has been fighting continuously, and more and more people have been displaced.
"Your name is Ru Luonu, are you from Xianbei or from Yuezhi?"
He didn't like the silence in the house.
It was already dark enough, and if you calm down again, you should not be able to fall asleep listening to the laughter outside.
"No, I'm from Rouran." Ru Luonu seemed to feel Chen Jie's surprise, and quickly laughed, "Don't be nervous, I don't want to offend you or anything. I'm Rou who surrendered to Dawei in the early years. After Ranren, it is not a Rouran person who lives in Mobei."
Rouran is a very interesting country. If you are defeated, you will surrender. If you have not surrendered for a few years, you will recuperate. If you want to recuperate, it will take decades, and it will not be a climate.
Regarding the group of Rouran people who surrendered to the Great Wei, Wei State still admitted that they were also the subjects of the Great Wei, calling them Rouran people, while for the Rouran people who invaded the northern border, they contemptuously called them "crawly".
Among the concubines of today's prince, there is Princess Rouran who has surrendered. The concubine of the Eastern Palace who gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor was brought back by Tuoba Tao who went to Robei Po Rouran in person.
At that time, Rouran Khan was defeated and died in depression. Several sons competed for the khan throne. The elder brother of the Lu family failed in the political struggle. He fled to the Northern Wei with his younger brothers and sisters, and returned to the Great Wei with his clan and cattle and sheep warriors.
Ru Luonu revealed her identity, and Chen Jie didn't know where she was at all.
Here are the four southern prefectures taken from the Song Dynasty. Most of the inhabitants are Han people, and the few Xianbei people are almost all military households and various military generals. His own master Hua Mulan's family relocated to the south, because the south also needed military households to defend the Han people from chaos. come over.
Even so, no matter whether it is Chen County or Liang County, it is good to have one out of five hundred people from Xianbei. I am afraid that there are no Rouran people in a thousand miles. There are Rouran people here. And Hexi, but in Chen County, isn't it even more strange
"Gai Wu and the others, have you taken me to the north?" Chen Jie frowned. "How long have I fainted? Three days? Five days? I didn't starve to death, it shouldn't take that long."
"Am I in Dongping County or Shangdang County now?"
"I can not… "
"You have so many questions." A mocking voice came in. "Why don't you ask me?"
Ru Luo Nu stood up in fright, and opened a secret door in the corner of the wall where she was sitting.
A white horse in a white coat walked in.
"It's probably good to be able to laugh with women."

Chen County, Xiang County.
"Are you sure someone saw the group of Lu Shuihu people running south?" Tuoba Huang's face was not good-looking at all. "What are they doing here in Chen County? Are they chasing us?"
Tuoba Huang couldn't help but think so, Gai Wu had been in chaos in Liang County before, and he should have gone back to Xingcheng after being chased away by them, but ended up appearing in Chen County, and stepped on the inner official prison with Hua Mulan.
Not to mention that Tuoba Huang thought so, even He Mulan and Di Yefei thought the same thing.
'Is this Gai Wu such a vicious person? ' He Mulan thought in a puzzled way, 'If the witchcraft curse can't be completed, just attack the people around me? He knew that I cared about Chen Jie, so he captured Chen Jie and tortured me to coerce me into submission? '
He Mulan touched his chin.
If this is the case, next time we meet, let's smash all the bones of his body.
Chen Jie disappeared, and He Mulan learned from the two prefects that the leader was a double-swordsman, and immediately thought of Gai Wu's double-swords swordsmanship. She knew who the prisoner was, and immediately asked the egret brought by Tuoba Huang for help.
The egrets are spy agencies and have their own eyes and ears everywhere. He Mulan entrusts her hope to the egrets, but rather than tracking the identity of a specific person, the egrets are better at monitoring officials, because officials are dead and fixed. In the place where they should be, whether it is Lu Shuihu or Ranger, they are all wandering around, and it is difficult to find their traces.
In particular, if Gai Wu did something bad and then ran away, he would definitely hide his whereabouts even more.
But the egrets had a different way to find out.
Buy news from the local Snakes and Ranger Bosses.
"Well, the characteristics of Gai Wu's group are still very obvious, and there is a wounded person, so some villagers have seen their whereabouts. Looking at the direction, they probably went to the south of Xiangcheng."
A Luhuan was also a little troubled.
"However, to the south of Xiangcheng is the Yuanjia Wubi, where there is the Yuan family's suzerain and guardian, and it is difficult for the government to intervene. If Gai Wu and others arrested Chen Jie and entered Yuanjiawu, it must be with Yuan Jiawu. The suzerain Yuan Fang has something to do with him, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome if he wants him to hand over someone."
After entering Wubi, can't even enter the government
Where's the shit
He Mulan flipped through his memory a little, and probably knew the situation.
Really such a cow.
Since the Jin Dynasty, the north has been turbulent, and the south has not been much better. Based on the township, pavilion, and li system of the Han Dynasty, a large number of people lived together. . Therefore, the people in the city, led by the big clans in the village, fled to the mountains and forests, and gathered together to defend themselves at risk, thus forming a "dock wall".
With this development going on step by step, the aristocratic Han families and local tyrants who stayed in the northern region became the masters or commanders of the docks by way of self-protection. There are often hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of peasants who depend on them, all of whom are their private population.
These tyrants were called suzerains, and the various farmers who depended on them were the suzerain's households.
The emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were not mediocre, but even if they could siege the city, plunder and destroy the surrounding countries, they could not eliminate the "Han suzerain" that existed everywhere.
The people lived like domestic birds under the protection of the strong clan, and they were not willing to go out to Wu to follow the emperor of the Hu people to fight or serve.
But now that Wei is a state, taxes still have to be collected, and people have to be in charge. There is no way, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty created a "suzerain-supervisory household system", and you have the right to manage your Wubi and trilogy. But you have to pay me the tax obediently. If the people under you make mistakes, they must be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the country.
This is actually a compromise, that is, I will not weaken your rights, but you have to give me benefits, otherwise we will fight to see who is stronger.
Many tyrants in the north made good relations with Wei during this compromise. When Tuoba Tao fought, many tyrants in the north sent their clan children to join the war with their generals and troops. Li Balang, who came to ask for relatives, is a member of the Li family, the suzerain of the noble clan in Longxi in the north, and is now serving in the army.
The southern part is far worse than the northern in terms of loyalty because it has been attached to it soon, and the suzerain generally does not sell his account.
This time, things got tricky, and even Tuoba Huang didn't have any good ideas.
"Wubao doesn't sell the government's face at all?" He Mulan frowned. "As long as you know where Chen Jie is, you can find a way to rescue it. If you can't do it, you can borrow a soldier from the prefect's house."
"Manpower is not a problem." Prince Tuoba Huang replied very stubbornly, "It's just that if no one is found, or someone runs away, the situation will be complicated. Besides, the generals and armored soldiers in Wubi are no worse than those in the army, Sect Master. They are all from the rich and armored side, and their armor is even better than the army, you think you can save them, can’t you do it alone?”
"The egrets found a piece of news from the local ranger." A Luhuan suddenly interjected. "That Yuan Fang lived a luxurious life, especially the orchids of all ethnic groups. Every year, he buys orchids who can sing and dance well for his enjoyment. There is a 'Windward Pavilion' in his Wubao, which is dedicated to raising these orchids. If there are distinguished guests, they will also entertain these orchids..."
He Mulan frowned in physical disgust.
"Besides, where the stunning orchid dance troupe or actor haunts, he will definitely try his best to buy it back..." A Luhuan licked his lower lip with some fear in his heart. "Maybe, we can start on this..."
"Hu Ji..." Di Yefei blinked and was about to say that there are many beauties in Dunhuang, but was startled by everyone's gaze.
"You all see what I do!"
