443, League of Lovelorns
Di Yefei and Zheng Zong never thought that He Mulan would leave Beiliang first.
Especially for Di Yefei, this feeling is even more complicated, in his opinion, this is the hope that He Mulan has tried his best, killed and injured so many subordinates, and even he has died all his life, seeing that he is about to usher in the final victory, but he was picked by his friends The fruits of victory.
This is a kind of meanness, but also a kind of guilt, at least for the current Di Yefei, this is a completely unacceptable fact.
However, because it is the order of the Great Khan, no one can resist, just as Di Yefei thought, the Tiger Ben Army also has some opinions on the originally friendly Gaoche Tiger Ben, and the soldiers of the Gaoche Tiger Ben still can't raise their heads in front of the Tiger Ben Army, let alone Di Yefei?
So much so that after Di Yefei saw He Mulan in a hurry, he didn't know what to say.
"Fire Chief, why do you want to go back to Pingcheng......
Di Yefei's expression was complicated, and he only held back this sentence.
"Jingzhong is empty, I have to go back and garrison Pingcheng." He Mulan sighed, "The Tiger Army has suffered heavy losses, and it is not a matter of a day or two to rebuild the new army, it will take time." โ
Di Yefei looked at He Mulan and remembered that he had sent a high chariot with a vision for the future, although he had changed the fate of his people, but it was much more difficult than he imagined to get the attention of the Wei State.
If it weren't for He Mulan's warning that there was a large amount of coal near Pingcheng and directing him to find it, the Gaoche people would still have no place to establish themselves in the Wei State.
A piece of land allocated to the high-speed car people is the greatest affirmation to the high car people.
He knew that His Majesty would send him, not because he wanted him to get any merits, but because among so many generals in Beijing, he had the best relationship with Mulan, and he could overpower so many clans and generals who wanted to come to Beiliang to make meritorious contributions, and he still relied on Mulan's relationship.
His life is full of Mulan's shadow, like the most powerful support, and like a mountain that can never be climbed, as long as Mulan is still in one day, even if the Tiger Army is wiped out, there will still be a second Tiger Army, a third Tiger Army......
And if the high-tech tiger is wiped out, can he still be like this?
Taken by deep guilt and shame, caught in a strange circle of self-contradiction, Di Yefei couldn't say anything, but Zheng Zong, who was standing on the side, bowed deeply to He Mulan:
"General Hua, I know that with my current ability and disfigured face, it would be useless, if it wasn't for your recommendation, Su Hejun wouldn't let me stay by his side, and the grace of reinvention will be repaid by Zheng Zong in the future!"
If he hadn't been promoted by Su Hejun, as soon as he returned to Pingcheng, his journey would have been over.
In this era of being an official looking at his background and fighting for his family background, Zheng Zong is not a famous family, and he has no way to excel, and he doesn't even go back to farming, you can imagine how poor he will spend his life.
However, there are many official positions that do not require the appearance of the Egret Officer, and many of them do not require their appearance to be an official who analyzes intelligence, an official who teaches new Egret Officers, and a White Egret Officer who operates in various places as a secret sentinel.
Su Hejun obviously also had arrangements for him, so he kindly told him that it was of great use to stay in Beiliang, and asked him not to return to Beijing for the time being.
He Mulan looked at Zheng Zong, whose gloomy temperament had been completely put aside, with a smile, knowing that he had thrown off all the worries and confusion about the future before, and he was very pleased to smile.
"I don't need you to repay anything, you have helped me a lot along the way, if it weren't for your own value, even if others help you, Su Hejun will not use you."
If you don't have this value yourself, even if Bill brings it up, xx won't use you!
This sentence was like thunder, and Di Yefei suddenly woke up.
Be! How can he be arrogant!
Ten people with the same fire, apart from him, who can stand to the point of almost standing side by side with the fire chief, this may be more of a chance, but he has seized the opportunity every time, isn't it his own ability?
"Zheng Zong, I have something I want to talk to the fire chief alone, can you ......" Di Yefei looked at Zheng Zong and He Mulan, who were happily communicating, and had a feeling of being excluded, and couldn't help but ask.
He Mulan had just given Zheng Zong the iron mask he had obtained from the Blood Cloak, and the upper half of Zheng Zong's face was a little hideous, especially the prominent parts of his forehead and cheeks, but it was fine near his chin, so this half of the face mask was just right for him.
Zheng Zong originally had a collecting habit, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he thought that this was used by He Mulan.
He originally had a gloomy temperament, but when he smiled, even that face was not so ugly. If there is anything that He Mulan is most pleased about this trip, it must be that he finally changed Zheng Zong and did not let him completely blacken and embark on the path of a eunuch.
The two were laughing happily, and suddenly heard Di Yefei asking to be alone with He Mulan, Zheng Zong's well-behaved smile immediately accepted it, but he still arched his hand and left obediently.
But though the man left, he did not go far, but sneakily hid behind the tent nearby, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement.
"Huo Chang, it's easy for you to go, but I'm going to miss you for the rest of my life......"
Di Yefei sighed faintly.
He Mulan didn't know how to face Di Yefei, but when he suddenly said this, a trace of embarrassment immediately rose.
"What a lifetime ......"
"Huo Chang has thought about it, Queen Meng was captured by you, Fuqu Bodhi was captured by the people you sent, the tiger army met the horse thief on the road, it was you who skillfully used the trick to drive the horse thief away and keep the dowry of Princess Xingping, if it weren't for your efforts, I'm afraid I can only find a handful of ashes under the yellow sand now, now that you're gone, I want to lead the army to deal with the affairs of Beiliang with Su Hejun, in fact, I robbed you of your credit."
Di Yefei confided in his heart very calmly.
"Every time I am promoted, every time I become stronger, there is a fire behind me, Zheng Zong said, the grace of the promotion will be repaid in the future, but I can't even pay it off in the next life."
He Mulan originally thought that Di Yefei was going to say something for a lifetime, the whole person was tense, and he might cover his ears and rush out at any time, but when he heard that it was actually this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "When the ten of us entered the fire, we didn't distinguish each other, and I sewed your pants and socks, and now you are polite to me." Even if you don't come, Jingzhong will send someone else, and it's better for you to get the credit than for others. โ
She looked at Tonghuo, who had gradually had the shadow of Di Yefei in the later generations, and her expression was very gentle: "I believe you have this ability to go further." You have a delicate temperament but a personality but are not a mother-in-law, but I am just the opposite of you, I am simple, but I am too easy to be soft-hearted. โ
He Mulan looked at the tiger soldiers who were busy pulling out the camp in chaos, and calmly said the horror in his heart: "To be honest, when I knew that Yuan Poqiang and Su Hejun might have to take Yuan Poqiang back to Guzang together, I had the urge to escape. I have broken the Rouran, I know the pain of the destruction of people's families, and I have also seen the sin of abandoning wives and children, and killing relatives, just to escape the sin. My personality allows me to fearlessly resist the enemy's aggression, but I am full of sadness when I conquer the city. โ
Di Yefei was stunned.
He never knew that the fire chief was actually afraid of attacking the city in his heart.
"When I first arrived in Beiliang, a little girl asked me if we had come and married their most beautiful princess, so that there would be no war. I almost ran away because I knew I couldn't give them the answer they wanted. War has never been something like us that a military general can decide whether to start or not. โ
He Mulan's gaze was far away, and there was a bit of alienation beyond the world.
"If Wei wants to develop, reform, and become strong, it must first unify the Central Plains, but behind the words 'unify the Central Plains', there is a process of countless countries breaking and falling, and then standing. Everyone says that Mulan is a natural general, but they don't know that Mulan actually hates war. โ
"Fire Chief, don't be joking, almost all of your military exploits are ......real," Di Yefei blurted out, but he was immediately silenced.
"It's all real killing, isn't it?" He Mulan smiled and whispered: "No wonder, no wonder, is this retribution?" โ
So she was destined not to live long.
If her life is endless killing and warfare, I don't know how many people have died at her hands.
"To me, to the Tiger Army, and to Great Wei, you are a great hero, a target that people from our military families can look up to." Di Yefei couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, hoping to dispel He Mulan's sudden weakness: "Even if it's not us, it's someone else who leads the army, and it always kills, at least we can control ourselves and not become a monster who only knows how to kill!" โ
"Yes, that's why I said, it's good that you're here."
He Mulan bowed his head at Di Yefei.
"Only a person with a firm heart like you can accomplish the 'great cause' that Su Hejun and Yuan Poqiang want to accomplish. You are all ambitious, capable, decisive, and know how to sacrifice, and although I have done all of them, my heart will be painful afterwards. โ
The more He Mulan spoke, the more suddenly her heart became clearer, and she seemed to understand why Tuoba Tao wanted to recall her back to Pingcheng, and why she was led by the mission of "peace", while the task of "destroying miรจ" was sent to Helian Ding and Di Yefei, who were also eager for fame and fame, hoping to gain a foothold in the Wei State and give the world an answer.
Only those who aspire to succeed can achieve success.
The aborigines of this world are much more clear than she can see.
Thinking of this, He Mulan couldn't help but pat Di Yefei on the shoulder:
"Don't doubt yourself, Your Majesty will send you, surely because only you can do it. Just as His Majesty wants to summon me back, he must have considered it. โ
"Really?"
Di Yefei has not been by Tuoba Tao's side for a long time, and although he is also a close minister, he still can't understand Tuoba Tao, let alone understand.
To him, this majesty's attitude towards him, although gentle, seemed to be dispensable. There were so many people around him that it was so difficult to get close to him.
"Don't underestimate His Majesty's ability to recognize people, otherwise how did I get out? Don't think you're robbing me of my credit, because only if you really win the benefits for Dawei, there is such a thing, otherwise the world will only remember that Hua Mulan lost the Tiger Army, and remember that my country's mission was chased by horse thieves and fled in a hurry, no matter how much I did, it was just a laughing stock after dinner. โ
What Hermulan is talking about is not speculation, but something that will definitely happen to the loser.
Di Yefei was stunned, He Mulan said too much to him, and he needed to digest it for a while.
However, at this time, He Mulan had already bowed to him with a cautious face.
"This is your battlefield, and my mission in Beiliang has ended. In the next time, I will wait for your good news in Pingcheng, and wish Di Jun good luck. โ
Di Yefei saw He Mulan bow down, and also replied with a nervous expression, choked up and nodded: "I won't let the Tiger Ben Army be ridiculed, I have written down the more than 2,000 lives." โ
He Mulan straightened up, and saw that Di Yefei's face had no hesitation, and finally smiled faintly.
Her era is about to pass, and less than a year of life will not change this era.
The old hen who used to be like an old hen guarding a chicken has changed the trajectory of everyone's lives, but also limited their future path.
However, the future belongs to these people who originally lived in this land, and only when their ideology, values and outlook on life change, the world will become a better place.
She can push, but she can't be replaced, otherwise even if she is exhausted, she will only be drowned by the tide of this era in the end, and she can't even make a splash.
She will be the strongest shield of Great Wei and the sharpest sword in His Majesty's hand, and only in this way will she be Mulan.
And Di Yefei will eventually go to the road of "General Zhenxi" and achieve his own life.
"What does it mean that Luo Hun told me that you once told him to tell me, 'I am not a broken sleeve'?"
The agitation in Di Yefei's heart gradually calmed down, and when he saw the warmth of He Mulan's smile, the words that were originally held in his heart were extremely embarrassing, but he still asked.
"Oh, that......" Hermulan blinked, and replied in a calm tone, "because I'm a woman." โ
"......" Di Yefei's cheeks twitched, "You mean, I treat you as a woman?" โ
He had a "you're kidding me" look on his face.
"Fire Chief, haven't you looked in the mirror for a long time?"
The ghost can look at your face and think you are a woman!
Are you looking down on the brain with broken sleeves?
He likes him and it's not that his brain is broken, so why be so humiliated?
Poor He Mulan finally mustered up the courage to tell Di Yefei his gender, but he was hit by Di Yefei's undisguised words.
What do you mean by "haven't you looked in the mirror in a long time"?!
Can she be understood as "you don't look in the mirror to see what you look like"?
Di Yefei saw that He Mulan was suddenly silent, his face became very strange, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Fire Chief, I'm not as complicated as you think, I'm already very satisfied to be able to follow you, you don't have to be so bothered. If it is said that looking like a woman can make people break their sleeves, why should I be so distressed, I'm afraid I have to thank God for giving me this face every day......"
Hearing Di Yefei's words, He Mulan felt his goosebumps keep popping out, and his whole body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.
It's not the numbness of a woman hearing love words, but the embarrassment of "I'm thundered".
Goosebumps were everywhere, and he just wanted to run uncomfortably, He Mulan felt that something was wrong with his whole body, even if he saw the Living Spring Palace in the village, it was not so awkward.
Thinking of the previous sentence "Have you not looked in the mirror for a long time", He Mullan had the urge to escape.
Di Yefei turned his head away, and unconsciously pointed a small pit on the ground with his toes.
He was nervous in his heart, but he still continued to say to himself: "It's ridiculous that the fire chief comforts me with this, who would treat a good man with such heroism as you as a woman?" So the problem is with me, not you, so you don't have to make excuses for me. But I don't have any special feelings for other men.,I want to vomit when I think about other men getting close to me.,Thinking about it like this.,I'm probably not liking men.,It's just that I just have thoughts about you that you shouldn't have.ใ When I return to Beijing from Beiliang, if Huo Chang feels uncomfortable facing me, I can ...... Belch...... Fire Chief? โ
Di Yefei was still muttering to himself with his head stuffy, but he found that there was no movement in front of him, so he couldn't help but look left and right, turned around a few times, but didn't see any figure, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.
"Fire Chief...... You've slipped away......"
Seeing that He Mulan ran away when Di Yefei was "showing his feelings", and Di Yefei was still talking about something with his head down, and Zheng Zong, who was far away and didn't really hear it, showed a smug smile.
Although he didn't really hear it, "broken sleeves", "women", "looking in the mirror" and so on still drifted to his ears with the wind.
He is also a person beside the Son of Heaven, a clever translator, and has the sensitivity and inference ability that both face and jun praise, just a few words, and immediately pieced together the truth of the matter:
"Fire Chief, I like you."
"I'm sorry, I'm a broken sleeve."
"But I'm a man!"
"I'm sorry, I always look at you and think you look like a woman."
"You don't look in the mirror, I can see you is your blessing!"
So, General Hua, who was said to have a black face, was so angry that he ran away, and when he left, he was still afraid of the feelings of his former colleagues, and he didn't say anything excessive.
Hahahaha!
I know that our general is a pure man! It is not ambiguous at all to say that the sleeve is broken!
Looks beautiful and has a fart! People like men, too!
Look at Di Yefei, he looks like that, it's better to find a real woman than to find him, it's still soft!
Zheng Zong stood up satisfied.
I knew that I would touch General Hua's sword and always look at him with that kind of eyes, it must be intentional about General Hua, and sure enough, the broken sleeve will always attract the broken sleeve, otherwise General Hua looks so ordinary, how could Di Yefei fall in love with him?
In addition to being in love for a long time, it must be the same as him, and he can only involuntarily look at Mulan.
It's just that it's all in vain. โ
Zheng Zong looked at Di Yefei, who was looking around and was stunned, and shook his head with some regret.
He just found out that Di Yefei may have confessed to Mulan, and the whole person was angry and wanted to tear Di Yefei to pieces, and his mind was full of thinking about how to kill people invisibly and let him die in a painful way.
However, just now, after He Mullan rejected him on the grounds of "I treat you as a woman", Zheng Zong began to sympathize with him.
He still has the general's dirty pants, the general's socks, and the general's mask, and he was entrusted with his life, and Ah Bu entrusted his life to Su Hejun, which shows that the general is still different from others to him.
At least he can still see things and think about people, and talk about lovesickness......
But Di Yefei is destined to be avoided by General Hua, who has a good personality, so as not to be embarrassed in the future.
He even refuses to reject people so neatly, just like when he told himself, "I only like good people".
Thinking about it this way, Zheng Zong was even more sympathetic.
"Forget it, there are so few broken sleeves in this world, and he is so pitiful, in the days of Beiliang, I still take more care of him......"
For his lovelorn sake!
