When Chen Jie woke up, he felt that it was noisy outside and the house was pitch black.

The sound was not like the noise of the bazaar, in the chaos, with a slight ambiguous voice and deliberate teasing.

Chen Jie, who had spent twelve years in the barracks from youth to youth, and now had reached the age of establishment, hardened inexplicably after hearing this soft voice.

Belch......

It must be the pillar of optimus that gets up every day.

It has nothing to do with the outside sound.

Chen Jie was slightly embarrassed and pressed his face against the wall beside him to reduce the heat of his body.

Wrong!

Where is this little room in prison full of fishy smell?

If it was that, how dare he put his face against the wall!

"Are you awake?" A woman's voice came, and then a small face peeked out timidly from the corner.

Because the room was so dark, Chen Jie couldn't see her face at all, and only felt that her voice was as small as a mosquito.

She spoke the words of the Han Chinese.

Chen Jiechang has never dealt with a woman since he was so old, and when he saw that there was suddenly an extra woman in the room, he was so shocked that his eyes were about to bulge out.

"Who are you? Where is this? Where's the group of Hu people who brought me?" Chen Jie quickly vomited a lot of questions, and because he vomited too quickly, there was a sharp pain between his ribs, which made him grit his teeth and snort.

Seeing that his face suddenly changed, the girl came over with some concern, but she did not come closer.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Jie had already preconceived of treating her as Gai Wu's gang, and he didn't dare to relax any vigilance against her, even her white-haired cloth skirt that looked like it had been washed was some kind of danger.

There must be some kind of weapon under the skirt!

He won't be fooled!

The two confronted 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.

Did they poison it?

Could it be the poison that pierced his stomach?

Cuckoo.

Goo-goo-goo.

"Poof!" The girl laughed, and the tension was swept away.

"Are you hungry? I'll bring you porridge and rice."

Chen Jie was blushed by her smile, and said in a voice like a mosquito:

"Yes...... I'm tired."

The girl quickly brought a bowl of chestnut porridge from outside, and the chestnut rice was not easy to digest, so the porridge was boiled very finely. Chen Jie was hungry, took the bowl with one hand, and began to snore.

"Beware of burning! They say your ribs are cracked and you can't move! The girl was very nervous, and looked at Chen Jie's expression as if he was drinking boiling oil and molten iron.

Chen Jie drank a full amount of water, and suddenly his stomach stopped burning, and his ribs were no longer numb. He handed the bowl to the girl and asked again.

"Who are you? Where is this? Where's the group of Hu people who brought me?"

"My name is Ru Luonu, and I can't sue you where this is. Lord Gai Wu said that when they returned, they would sue you."

Juro took the bowl, took a few steps back, and shrank into the corner.

Chen Jie knew from her words that it was indeed the man named "Gai Wu" in the mouth of his own general who robbed him. But he had that reason......

That reason......

Damn it!

Who wants him to save!

His general's lord has already brought a big man to save him, okay!

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Jie was angry, and coupled with the incessant laughter outside, he was even more irritable and eager to scratch the wall.

Damn it! Those damned thieves, how does he know when they're coming? He was still lying in bed like a prostitute waiting for them to come......

Huh, wait.

"Is this a brothel?" The more Chen Jie listened, the more he looked like it.

The dark room, the laughter outside, and all kinds of strange sounds that tickle people's hearts......

Isn't it similar to the brothel he passes by every time?

There are also times of rest in the army, even at the border gates, there are occasional prisoners who are punished into prostitutes, or there are □□ who voluntarily come to earn money to relieve the men's **.

Chen Jie was also curious before, but after entering, he was startled by the sight of the long queue, although he didn't have a habit of cleanliness, he felt uncomfortable looking at it, so he didn't try it.

But now this situation has to make him think about it.

The Lady of Juro sighed heavily.

"It's not a brothel, but it's pretty much the same."

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?" Chen Jie snorted and made himself lie more comfortable. You women like to talk and talk, it's better for our general."

"That's what I said." There was a smile in her voice, "It's as if your general is a woman. You said that your family is a general, and you are also a soldier?"

"It's not interesting to talk to you little girl about this. My general......" Chen Jie's tone was full of pride, "Have you heard of Mulan?"

"Oh my God...... "Ru Luo's voice suddenly fell. You're one of those people's subordinates?"

"Hmm." Chen Jie nodded in the dark.

"Don't tell Lord Gai Wu that you're Mulan's subordinate." The girl retracted in fright. Lord Gai Wu seems to have a grudge against her. Bai Ma gritted his teeth when he talked about Mulan, and heard that she broke Lord Gai Wu's ribs."

"There are not many people in this world who can beat my generals alone.".

[,！ ]

Chen Jie was not surprised at all.

"But if they can't beat General Hua, maybe they will take you out!"

Chen Jie was silent.

Didn't this group even know that he was General Hua's subordinate?

Yes, he rarely preaches it outside.

In fact, their colleagues rarely talk about how close they were to Mulan. If Mulan were a man, they would naturally pat their chests when they were drunk, and talk about how they could wear a pair of pants with that General Hua and how they ate in a bowl.

But Mulan has become a woman, so this evil shouldn't be screaming.

This is their tacit understanding and the protection of the general's reputation.

"You and Gai Wu ...... Not a bunch?" Chen Jie asked the exit.

If it's a gang, why remind him of such a thing?

"I'm not with anyone." Jolo's voice lowered again. I'm just a slave."

Chen Jie was surprised to find her face in the darkness.

The Hu people like to keep house slaves, and the number of displaced families has become more and more in the north, and the private slave trade sometimes only needs to give a mouthful of food.

"Your name is Ru Luonu, are you from Xianbei or Yue?"

He doesn't like the silence in the house.

It's dark enough, and if you calm down, you should listen to the laughter outside and can't sleep.

"No, I'm a Rouran." As if she could sense Chen Jie's surprise, Ru Luonu hurriedly laughed, "Don't be nervous, I won't want to offend you or anything. I am a Rouran person who returned to the Great Wei Dynasty in the early years, not a Rouran person who lives in Mobei."

Rouran is a very interesting country, it was defeated and surrendered, and it was reversed after a few years of recuperation, and it has fallen and reversed countless times for more than 80 years, until now the emperor is impatient, and he simply cripples directly, and it will take decades to recuperate, and it will not become a climate.

For the group of Rouran people who returned to the Great Wei, the Wei State still recognized that they were also the people of the Great Wei, calling them the Rouran people, and contemptuously calling them "worms" for the Rouran people who invaded the northern border passes.

Among the concubines of the prince today, there is the obedient princess Rouran. The concubine of the East Palace who gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson was brought back by Tuoba Tao's royal drive to Roubei and Rouran.

At that time, Rouran Khan died of depression after a crushing defeat, and several sons competed for the throne of Khan, and the elder brother of the Lu clan failed in the struggle, and fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty with his younger siblings, and returned to the Great Wei with his clansmen and cattle and sheep warriors.

Ru Luo Nu revealed her identity, and Chen Jie had no idea where she was.

Here are the four southern states taken from the Song Dynasty, most of the inhabitants are Han Chinese, and the few Xianbei people are almost all military households and various military generals. His lord moved the Hua Mulan family to the south, also because the south also needed military households to defend the Han people from rebellion, and the military government spent a lot of effort to give fields and horses, so that some Xianbei military households were successfully moved from the six towns.

Even so, whether it is Chen County or Liang County, one out of the five hundred Xianbei people is considered good, and the Rouran people are afraid that there is no one in a thousand miles, and there are actually Rouran people here, or the kind that returned to Shun in the early years, not in the north and Hexi, but in Chen County, isn't it even more strange?

"Did they take me captive to the north?" Chen Jie frowned. How long have I been dizzy? Three days? Five days? I didn't starve, it shouldn't take long."

"Am I in Dongping County or Shangdang County?"

"I can't ......"

"You have a lot of questions." A mocking voice came in." Why don't you ask me?"

Frightened, she stood up and opened a secret door in the corner where she was sitting.

A white horse dressed in white walked in.

"It's about good to be able to laugh with women."

Chenjun,Xiang County.

"Are you sure someone saw that group of Lushuihu people running south?" Tuoba Huang's face is not good-looking at all." What are they doing in this Chenjun realm? Is it chasing us?"

I can't help Tuoba Huang think so, Gai Wu had been in trouble in Liang County before, and he should have gone back to Xingcheng after being driven away by them, but he appeared in Chen County, and stepped on the inner official prison with Hua Mulan.

Don't say that Tuoba Huang thinks so, even He Mulan and Di Yefei think the same thing.

'Is this Gai Wu such a vicious person?' He Mulan wondered, 'If the witch curse fails, he will take the people around me?' Knowing that I cared about Chen Jie, I took Chen Jie and tortured him to blackmail me?"

He Mulan touched his chin.

If that's the case, the next time we meet, we'll break all the bones in his body.

Chen Jie disappeared, and He Mulan knew from the mouths of the two taishou that the person in charge was a double-knife master, and immediately remembered Gai Wu's double-knife knife technique. She knew who the prisoner was, and immediately asked for help from the egret that Tuoba Huang was carrying.

The egrets are spy agencies, and they have their own eyes and ears in various places, and He Mullan entrusts his hope to the egrets, but compared to tracking the identity of specific people, the egrets are better at monitoring the hundred officials, because the hundred officials are dead and fixed where they should be, but whether it is Lu Shuihu or the rangers, they are all wandering, and it is difficult to find their traces.

Especially if Gai Wu does something bad and then runs away, it must be even more to cover people's eyes and ears and hide his whereabouts.

But the egrets have another way to find out.

Buy news from the local Snake and Ranger bosses.

"Well, the characteristics of Gai Wu and his party are still very. [,！ Obviously, plus there was a wounded man, so there were still some villagers who saw their whereabouts. Looking at the direction, I probably went to the south of Xiangcheng."

Ah Luhuan is also a little nerve-wracking.

"However, to the south of Xiangcheng is the Yuan family's Wubi, where the Yuan family's suzerain is under its supervision, and it is difficult for the power of the government to intervene. If Gai Wu and the others caught Chen Jie and entered the Yuan family, it must have something to do with Yuan Fang, the sect leader of the Yuan family, and if they want him to hand over the people, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

After entering Wubi, you can't even enter the official mansion?

Where is so bullish?

He Mulan flipped through his memory a little and roughly knew the situation.

It's really that good.

Since the Jin Dynasty, the north has been in turmoil, and the south is not much better, based on the Han Dynasty's township, pavilion, and li system, a large number of people gather to live together, and when it comes to turmoil, these places become the target of plundering population and wealth. Therefore, the people in the city, under the leadership of the township clan, fled to the mountains and forests, and gathered to defend themselves against danger, thus forming a "dock wall".

In this way, step by step, the Han families who stayed in the northern region and the local Haoqiang became the dock lord or wall commander by guò as a dock self-protection method, they have many clans, tribes, built dock walls, and built armor soldiers. There are often hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of peasants attached to them, all of whom are their private population.

These powerful people are called suzerains, and the various peasants who depend on them are the suzerain's shady households.

The emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were not mediocre, but even if they could attack the city and plunder it, and destroy the surrounding countries, they could not eliminate this kind of "Han suzerain" who was everywhere.

Under the protection of the strong clan, the common people lived like domestic birds, and they were not willing to go out to fight or serve with the emperor of the Hu people.

But now Wei is already a country, taxes still have to be collected, people also have to manage, no way, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty came up with a "suzerain-supervised household system", you have the right to manage your Wu Bi and the tribes, but you have to obediently pay taxes to me, and the people under you will make mistakes, and they must be dealt with in accordance with the law of the country.

It's actually a compromise, i.e. I don't weaken your rights, but you have to give me a favor, otherwise we'll fight to see who is stronger.

Many powerful people in the north got along well with Wei in this kind of compromise, and when Tuoba Tao went to war, many powerful people in the north sent their clan children to participate in the war with their generals and people, horses, grain and grass. Li Balang, who came to ask for marriage, is a member of the Li family, the suzerain of the Hao clan in Longxi, in the north, and now he is also serving in the army.

Because the south was not long attached, it was much worse than the north in terms of loyalty, and the suzerains generally did not sell it.

This time, things are getting tricky, and even Tuoba Akira doesn't have any good ideas.

"Doesn't Wu Bao sell the face of the government at all?" He Mullan frowned. As long as you know where Chen Jie is, you can rescue him. No, you can also borrow county soldiers from the Taishou Mansion."

"Manpower is not an issue." The crown prince Tuoba Huang replied very hard, "It's just that if no one is found, or if someone runs away, the situation will be complicated. Besides, the generals and soldiers in Wubi are no worse than those in the army, the suzerain is all rich and armoured, and their armor is even better than that in the army.

"The egrets have found out a piece of news from the local rangers." Ah Luhuan suddenly interjected. That Yuan Fang lived a luxurious life, especially liked orchids of various ethnic groups, and every year he would buy orchids that could sing and dance in various places for enjoyment. There is a 'Windward Pavilion' in his castle, which is dedicated to keeping these orchids, and if a distinguished guest comes, he will entertain these orchids......"

Hermulan frowned in physiological disgust.

"Moreover, where the stunning orchid dance class or the servant haunts, he will definitely try his best to buy it back......" Ah Luhuan licked his lower lip with some trepidation. Perhaps, you can start on this......"

"Hu Ji......" Di Yefei blinked, and was about to say that there were many beauties in Dunhuang, but he was startled by everyone's gaze.

"You all see what I do!"
