Tuoba Tao is destined to have a bad night's sleep tonight.

Wei Situ Chang Sun Han and Xi Jin led 8,000 cavalry to chase Helianchang, but they didn't catch up with Gaoping, so they could only return to Tongwancheng.

Tongwan City was defeated, but because Tuoba Tao demanded martial law for the whole city, and no entry and exit from the outer city and the inner city, the soldiers of Wei could only endure fatigue and continue to guard the four gates, and did not dare to run around. Tuoba Tao's guards were so tired that they found spare rooms everywhere in the palace and fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have brought back the guards of the Wuying Palace!" A group of guards happily entered the Purple Pole Hall with their surviving companions.

"General Kumoti's personal guards also found Helianding's son!"

"What? Helendin's son? Didn't Helian Ding's family cut Helian Chang? Where was Mulan found?"

Tuoba Tao was surprised.

"Hurry up and announce that the son of Mulan and Helian Ding will enter the hall!"

He Mulan and Su Wei and the others were already sick from staying in the gloomy and dim place of Wuying Palace, and finally survived until the Wei army captured the palace city, and immediately went out of the palace to look for the trace of His Majesty, and met several small leaders in the Su Guard army.

He Mulan is Kumoti's personal guard, Kumoti's status is precious, and the personal guard is like a confidant, so he is naturally courteous. When they heard that He Mulan had actually searched for Helian Ding's widow from the Wuying Palace, they were even more impressed.

In a place like Wuying Palace, where there are dead people everywhere, he is still running around and finding clues, which is really fierce!

He Mulan led Helian Zhishui and Zhao Ming outside the hall to prepare to enter the door, Zhao Ming begged bitterly at the door, to the effect that he did not dare to see the emperor of Wei, hoping not to enter. Tuoba Tao made people announce that it was Helian Ding's son and Hua Mulan, and He Mulan saw that he was really scared, so he didn't force her, and took Helian Zhishui into the temple alone.

Helian Zhishui's appearance is quite similar to Helian Ding, but his facial features are more delicate than Helian Ding, probably because his mother is Han. Although he was only ten years old, he did not flinch and frightened, and when he saw Tuobatao's generous salute, he told the other party his name.

If He Mulan hadn't seen the scene when he drew his knife before, struggled desperately, and cried sadly, he would almost have thought that Helian Zhishui was a calm and generous child in danger.

Tuoba Tao was very happy to see Helian Zhishui, and Helian Zhishui was relieved to find that Tuoba Tao was indeed a magnanimous and hearty monarch as He Mullan said. After knowing that Helian Zhishui was the great-grandson of Zhang Yuan of Xia Guotaishi, Tuoba Tao laughed out loud and asked people to bring Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan is also a strange person, he set up a series of schemes, so that Helian Chang successfully escaped from Tongwan, but he did not escape, but ordered the whole family to wear linen and filial piety, and waited in his own mansion for the day when the army broke the city.

Tuoba Tao listened to Hemulan's words, and after capturing Tongwan City, he did not indulge the army to sack Tongwan, but assigned tasks such as attacking the palace city and guarding the four gates, so that these soldiers could not rest and did not think about things such as sweeping.

So Zhang Yuan sat at home for a long time in mourning clothes, not waiting for the soldiers who came to enter the city to loot, but waiting for the envoy of Wei who politely invited him into the palace.

Zhang Yuan entered the palace and saw his great-grandson, the two hugged their heads and cried, so they didn't say anything more, Tuoba Tao and He Mulan looked at the old and the young with a smile and cried with joy, and they both felt in their hearts.

Helian Zhishui was taken into Zhang's mansion by Zhang Yuan when he was very young, and he was almost brought up by Zhang Yuan with a handful of and urine, and his feelings were naturally very deep. In addition, Zhang Yuan is now over sixty years old, at this age when he entered the earth at the age of fifty, he is already an old grandfather in his sixties, and it is normal to love his great-grandson.

Zhang Yuan saw that Helian Zhishui was not dead, and Tuoba Tao had no intention of disposing of Helian Zhishui, so he knelt down in front of Tuoba Tao's old tears:

"The old decay designed the Wei army to send Emperor Xia out of the city, for the loyalty of all the old decay ministers. His Majesty treats the people well and does not let Tongwan become a dead city, which shows His Majesty's kindness and wisdom. The old minister is willing to lead his disciples and others to return to the Wei State, and only pray that His Majesty will forgive Helian Zhishui and forgive his sins."

Tuoba Tao was most afraid of people crying, so he picked up Zhang Yuan on the spot and laughed: "I don't know what a ten-year-old child is guilty of. I admire Pingyuan Gonghe Lianding very much, several solicitations have failed, and now he saved his son by mistake, and the next time I see him, I even have the confidence to surrender! "

He is a straightforward person, and he does not twist the calculations in his heart, and he is not like others who obviously want to take others as hostages, and they also say it in a high-sounding manner.

As soon as Tuoba Tao came up, he made it clear what he meant, Helian was sure that he must be recruited, and with Helian stopping the water on his side, he was also very happy and would not treat him like this.

"Once the Xia Kingdom is recovered by my Great Wei, in the future, the Xia Kingdom will be my Wei State, the courtiers of the Xia Kingdom will be my courtiers, and the people of the Xia Kingdom will be my people. I often accept the teachings of the Han people, they say benevolence, wisdom, courtesy, righteousness, faith, with these five virtues, you can conquer the four directions, I have always been deeply convinced. Don't say that Helian stops the water, that is, Helian Chang and Helian Ding are really caught by me, and I will treat them politely, let alone slaughter the clan."

Tuoba Tao knew that once the country was destroyed, everyone was like a frightened bird, and Zhang Yuan was highly respected, and he had not fallen after several dynasties and generations, and he didn't know how many protégés and former officials there were, so he appeased his feelings first.

"Now that the Xia Kingdom has been decided, after a big war, the people's livelihood is withering, and it is time to manage it well. With Zhang Gong and other masters to help me, I want to come to the land of Xia Kingdom next year to have new vitality."

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that this Xianbei Emperor, who was known all over the world as "good at martial arts and bravery", was actually well versed in the way of Confucianism, and while he was amazed in his heart, he couldn't help but feel emotional and sad, and bowed down with Helian Zhishui [,! ]

"The ministers are willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

That's the complete drop.

Zhang Yuan had no soldiers in his hands, and just by occasionally discovering Di Ziyu's defection, he was able to improvise a series of schemes to trap the Wei people, and it can be seen that his wisdom is second to none among the Xia people.

Zhang Yuan was loyal to the former Qin emperor Fu Jian, and then to the later Qin Yao Xing's father and son, and when Helianchang destroyed Yao Hong, he was loyal to Helianchang.

Although he is loyal to the previous dynasties, and every time the country is broken, he is loyal to the new emperor, but in each dynasty, he is loyal to the emperor, and has the ability to govern.

When he arrived at Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Tao had no confidence in being able to recruit Zhang Yuan, because Zhang Yuan was more than sixty years old this year, and Tuoba Tao's position in the middle of the court was full, and it was impossible for him to climb to a higher position than Tai Shi Ling. If such a person can't be used, he can't be killed, but if he wants to use him, he is willing to do it, and that's just an ornament.

Tuoba Tao is a stingy ghost, willing to spend every tael of silver on the blade, and is not willing to spend money to feed idlers.

Now Zhang Yuan himself is willing to submit, and even brought his protégé and old officials to surrender together......

Xia Guo is a rich land with Chang'an, and there are many high-ranking gates, and it is even more happy to be able to recruit this group of high-ranking people than to conquer the ten thousand cities.

Helian Zhishui was still young, Tuoba Tao was still on the march, and it was impossible to run around with Helian Zhishui, so he arranged a few Yulin Lang to send Helian Zhishui to Helian Chang's queen's palace, and that group of women would take care of him temporarily, and when his class returned to Pingcheng, they would go back together.

Helian Zhishui was not familiar with the queen, but living next to the Xia people was always more comfortable than being around a group of Wei people, and Helian Zhishui obediently thanked him and followed a few eunuchs to Kunde Palace.

After Zhang Yuan and Helian Zhishui were sent away, they excitedly Tuoba Tao took a few steps in front of He Mulan, took her hand in the latter's stunned expression, stroked the back of her hand and smiled:

"Mulan, you are really a blessed star! Entering the palace depends on you, I have to turn the crisis into safety, and when I leave the palace, it is also up to you, so that I can fight a way. Now that you have found Helian Zhishui again, my heart is very happy. I've heard that you haven't been around Kumoti for long, so you might as well stay with me and be your personal bodyguard! "

He Mulan was inexplicably thrown into this world, so he naturally wanted to find the "answer" as soon as possible and return to the Jinglun Heavenly Palace.

But the more she gets along with Tuobatao, the more she doesn't know what the "answer" she is looking for.

If she saw Tuobatao's wisdom, she did. If you want to say that she has seen Tuoba Tao's shortcomings, she has also seen a lot. But none of this allowed her to draw any deep "insights", let alone find "answers".

Just like now, it is clear that as long as she kneels down and accepts his kindness, she can follow him and slowly find a way to go back, at least she can meet Kou Qianzhi and ask what is going on.

But when she opened her mouth, she said:

"I hope to continue to serve in the camp of Montenegro, guarding the border and resisting the creep."

As soon as Hermulan's words came out, the hall was silent.

Many of the guards on duty couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh when they heard her answer, probably slandering her ignorance in their hearts.

Why didn't He Mulan know that he might anger Tuoba Tao by doing so?

But that's what she said naturally.

It has only been more than half a month since she left the Black Mountain camp, and she has already begun to miss it like crazy.

She misses her comrades who laugh and scold and occasionally take off the line;

She misses the soldiers who never stop in the military tent;

She misses the military slaves she has taken in inexplicably, and talks about how many skills the high-chariot people have taught them;

She misses the smug retinue who calls herself "Peanut".

She once promised that "Mulan of the Right Army" would definitely return to the Right Army;

She once swore that she would not let Shan Zhiqi and others step into the nightmare of the past;

She also wants to find Chen Jie, so that he doesn't have to cry bitterly after the Lord returns to the field after the Lord will disarm and return to the field;

She also wants to see Di Yefei contact Gaoche, take the Gaoche tribe to Shun, and be his "Bowanghou".

Dream back to the Horn Company Battalion.

This sentence is so beautiful that she forgot her wish when she first arrived at Hua's house.

Strangely, when Tuoba Tao heard her answer, he didn't show the same surprised or disapproving expression as the other guards, but nodded.

"Also, being a quarterguard by my side is really boring."

"Don't dare to ...... in a lowly position"

"There's nothing against me. If I weren't the emperor, I would have liked to live a life where I woke up to the sound of drums and joined forces with my comrades to fight the enemy. Although it is a road to heaven by my side, for a real hero, maybe it is the real happiness to fight for the future on the battlefield and live a life with his son."

Tuoba Tao probably regarded Mulan as a person like himself, and even looked at He Mulan's eyes much gentler:

"I don't know if you'll regret your choice today, but as long as you still want to come to the guard, I can reserve your place for you, and you can come to me at any time."

Such preferential treatment made He Mullan show an expression of "I'm scared stupid".

But Tuoba Tao may be in a good mood today, not only proposed such a reward, but even said generously:

"Mulan, you don't want to be my guard, so what do you want, but just bring it up. You're the kind of talent. [,！ It's too cheap to be Kumoti's personal soldier, and if you want to be a general in Montenegro, I can let you do it."

Checkmate?

In Mulan's previous life, at this time, she had already become a miscellaneous general.

But she's still struggling with the guards.

If it weren't for the fact that the Montenegrin battalion was waiting for the emperor to see the "Three Armies Competition", and the elites of the three armies followed the traces of the worms to the emperor's side, she was unlucky to miss the semi-annual competition at this time, and continued to struggle under the poverty line......

But how can such a general convince the people?

She also wants to return to the right army in a dignified manner and throw off the blood of those gongcao's faces.

"Your Majesty, I really want to be a general, and I don't want to be a general. Those who have military merits and martial arts can always become generals with their own strength."

He Mullan smiled confidently:

"If His Majesty can really make the lowly position get his wish, can he give Yue Ying the lowly position?"

Hermulan pleaded:

"The humble rank really likes Yue Ying, not because it is Dawan's good horse, but because its temper is really like the war horse before the humble position."

"Yue Ying is still just a pony, and his personality is very stubborn, and he once lifted me under the horse in the battle formation. If you get the shadow of Yueying, I am afraid that if you stumble in front of your horse, it will kill you." Tuoba Tao shook his head. So I will give you three horses and a hundred taels of gold......"

"Your Majesty, although Yue Ying has a stubborn personality, it is precisely because of its young age that it is possible to adjust/teach." Hermulan wanted to fight for it one last time.

"If you really lose your life for this reason, you can only blame yourself for your incompetence and blame others."

Tuoba Tao stared at He Mulan for a moment, and found that she really only wanted Yue Ying, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, if you hadn't known Yue Ying's personality preferences, it might still be a bad horse that could not be used, or it might have been pulled by me to be a stallion, since you like Yue Ying so much, then I will give it to you......"

"Thank you! Thank you for your reward! "

Hermulan knelt down in surprise and thanked him.

"Yue Ying is a famous horse, it is troublesome to raise, I will give you another manu, ten bags of black beans. I will give you a hundred taels of gold. I hope that in the future, you can cross famous horses and create another good story."

Tuoba Tao is sure that Mulan's future achievements are by no means as simple as a pro-soldier, in this case, it is necessary to send it early and late, it is better to give it now, so as to show that his vision is very accurate.

He Mulan only has three golds on her, and buying black beans is only enough for her to eat for half a year, and she still has dozens of mouths to be fed in the camp of Montenegro, and now Tuoba Tao is generous, which immediately solves her urgent need.

She knew that Tuoba Tao was generous, otherwise Hua Mulan would not have received so many rewards when she returned to her hometown for the twelfth military achievement, but she didn't expect him to be so careful, knowing that such a small pawn as her couldn't raise a good horse, and even gave her Manu and black beans!

The horse slave in the royal stable is almost equivalent to a horse trainer and veterinarian, such a "technical talent", where can she usually touch!

Pleasantly surprised, Hermulan returned to Kumoti.

Kumoti was in charge of guarding the main palace at this time, which was the place where Tuoba Tao should rest, and although the emperor never came to rest, the person who should be guarding it could not be negligent.

This is the palace of the Xia Kingdom, it's hard to say what secret passage mechanism there is, if you encounter an assassin at night, it will be really fatal.

Kumoti was also tired, and was sleeping in a palace room for a while, and when Hermulan came, he opened his eyes, wiped his face, and nodded to her.

"I've heard what you've done, and you're doing a great job."

"What?"

"I'll let you protect your majesty, you've done a good job."

Kumoti didn't say that he was almost frightened when he saw Tuoba Tao rushing through the north gate.

Not to mention jumping on the castle tower at dusk in women's clothes, and tearing off her clothes to go down the city wall.

Sometimes he felt that if he hadn't gone to Montenegro, it would be good to be a fierce general by the emperor's side, but thinking about these things that this majesty did from time to time, he was glad that he didn't stay, otherwise he would have been scared out of hysteria!

"Humble duty is just doing what is done."

He Mulan did not dare to take credit.

"Rest well tonight. The eunuch you brought back from the Wuying Palace, Liu Ni, the emperor's guard, sent him over, I didn't know you still made friends in the summer palace......"

Kumoti probed.

Hey?

What did Liu Ni send a female eunuch to him for? If you want to send it, you will send it to the fourth princess!

He Mulan didn't know that even the "Four Princesses" had been given to Di Ziyu, and said inexplicably at the moment:

"Friends? The people of that palace were responsible for guarding the corpses of Helian Ding's family in the Wuying Palace, and we broke into the Wuying Palace by mistake, and it was all up to her to guide us out of the palace before we were able to send His Majesty out of the palace. Later, we went back to Wuying Hall to hide, and when we met her and went back, we let him in and took care of him......"

"Since you saved Your Majesty, it is also a hero. Before Zhao Changshi settles these palace people, you should take care of him for a few days. When Zhao Changshou starts to count the palace people, someone will arrange him."

He Mulan was about to say that this was a palace maid, not a eunuch, but after thinking about it, if it was a palace maid, in the same palace with so many men, and Liu Ni saw that kind of misunderstanding, I am afraid that this palace maid will be given to herself as a concubine or something for some reason, it is better to let her disguise like this first, and when the regular attendant starts to compile the book, then think of a way to let her return to her original body

[,！ Thinking of this, Hermulan agreed to come down and go to the place arranged by Kumoti to rest.

He Mullan was wounded and was allowed not to be on duty today. She followed Lu Chi to a small room, pushed the door in, and saw the female eunuch named "Zhao Ming" kneeling in the room uneasily, as if she was in a daze with her knees

Hearing He Mulan's push on the door, she immediately raised her head with an "ah" and asked He Mulan:

"General Hua, how is the eldest prince of the Plains Gong now? Buddha...... Did His Majesty embarrass him?"

"You really care about that kid."

He Mullan raised an eyebrow and began to take off his clothes.

His Majesty didn't embarrass him, called Zhang Taishi Ling to recognize him, and sent someone to Kunde Hall to take care of Helianchang's queen. When Master Xià returns to Pingcheng, he will probably bring it back with him."

He Mulan took off his coat, then rolled his sleeve up to shoulder height and carefully examined the wound.

Fortunately, there is no inflammation, no redness and swelling, and the wound has begun to heal.

Mulan's body is really awesome.

Zhao Ming sat stunned for a while, and when he saw He Mulan take off his clothes, he lowered his head with a red face.

"Does General Flower want water? I'm going to get you some water."

He Mulan then remembered that this palace man was the head snake in the summer palace, and naturally knew where the water was, so he immediately nodded.

"I'm tired."

She didn't wash her hands cleanly, and she didn't dare to change her dressing and bandage herself.

"Zhao Ming" got up suddenly, ran out of the house in three or two steps, and slapped his reddened cheeks.

'This youngster looks thin, but he has a sturdy body.'

Helian Mingzhu's mind brought out Hermulan's beautiful arm muscles, and the streamlined shape made her heart beat wildly.

I thought that his lieutenant was also in good shape, and when he was naked and let her dress, his muscular chest and wheat-colored skin ......

In terms of appearance alone, this flower general is much inferior to that deputy general. But in terms of character, General Hua is much stronger than the deputy general who is ready to kill at every turn.

If you can say that "a true hero will never oppress women and children", how can you judge his talent only by his appearance?

Helian Mingzhu was thinking about a mess in his head, and according to the direction in his memory, he found the water room, found a wooden basin, and fetched a basin of water in the well.

When she returned with water, He Mulan thanked her gently, washed his hands, and began to apply medicine and bandages to the wounds on his arms.

She was very skillful and very fast, and it didn't take long for her to finish bandaging and tying a knot. Looking back again, "Zhao Ming" was staring at the basin of water in a daze......

Only then did He Mulan remember that "Zhao Ming" was a woman. Wu Yingdian couldn't see it in the dark, but now if he takes a closer look, this Zhao Ming looks quite good, even if his face is sallow and dirty, it is difficult to hide the beauty between his eyebrows.

But all women love cleanliness, and when Hermulan saw that she was always looking at the water, he said to her:

"Would you like to wash your face? I already know that you are a woman, and if you feel bad, wash yourself, and I will go out for a walk and come in when you are done. When you're about to go out, you'll be able to do it all over again. I see you're carrying a big package, it should have something to make up in it, right?"

Seeing the sincerity of what He Mulan said, Helian Mingzhu suddenly nodded shyly.

She hasn't washed her face and rinsed her mouth for a few days, which is secondary, and the most important thing is that the woman's most important place to care for has not been cleaned, which is uncomfortable.

He Mullan asked her to bring back another bucket of clean water, and then thoughtfully went out and shook it around.

Helian Mingzhu plugged in the door of this small room from the inside, washed himself, and washed the turmeric off his face and hands, revealing a stunning face.

She knew that she was actually taking a risk in doing so, and that the general surnamed Hua might actually be a man with a beast's heart, and he might have a bad heart after seeing her true face.

But she did it somehow.

The time in Wuyingdian was almost a nightmare for her, but the appearance of this flower general was like throwing a wooden plank to a drowning person, so that he didn't have to be afraid that he would sink.

He took her nephew and gave him a way out so that he could live with dignity.

He saved her life, and he didn't kill her, but brought her back to be treated well.

If she can get such gentle treatment from him if she hides nine points of her appearance, then if she reveals her appearance very much, she may be able to get his heart and soul ......

Helian Mingzhu covered her face with some shame.

What the hell was she thinking!

and a general of an enemy country......

This is the murderer who ruined his own family and country!

But it was the first time she was so curious about a man and looked forward to it.......

He Mulan was blowing the cold wind outside until he was bored, thinking that at this time, Mo said that he had washed his face and washed pp, even if he had finished taking a bath, so he turned back and knocked on the door to ask if it was okay inside.

Helian Mingzhu tidied himself up, with a little expectation, a little fear, and a little confidence born from her appearance, and quietly opened the door.

He Mulan didn't notice "Zhao Ming's" face when she went in at first, because it was cold outside, she wanted to go in and warm up, and when she found a corner of the room and sat down, she looked up, and He Mulan was stunned for a moment.

This girl looks ......

Why is it so similar to Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia's knot/combination?

This goose egg face has big eyes and eyebrows. [,！ The girl in the painting really reveals a "precocious" atmosphere from top to bottom, as if she is waiting for someone else to pick a peach.

He Mullan shook his head.
