He Mulan accepted Gai Wu, and the happiest was naturally Chen Jie.

I don't know if fate had to entangle Chen Jie with Lu Shuihu, or if Chen Jie's compassion made him always pity the suffering, the young Gai Wu and Chen Jie soon became friends, and even made the barbarians jealous.

Chen Jie and Mangu are not good enough to talk about everything.

"What? Your mother and uncle are fakes? It's the Lu Shuihu people who want to hide your identity......" Chen Jie glanced at Gai Wu.

"No wonder you are also a young master, but you are sloppy and sloppy, and you can't even eat."

"I've already put others at such a risk, so naturally I can't bother people anymore. Their family is not rich, and with my mouth, they can't get by." Gai Wu's expression darkened: "Actually, someone introduced me to dirty work, I couldn't bear it, I wanted to stay up and watch it again, but fortunately I survived, otherwise I ......."

Chen Jie was born a military household, his family is a big family, and his life is not hard, so there is still a trace of the innocence of a young man, and when he heard Gai Wu's words, he couldn't help but speak: "What is dirty work?" Pour night incense?"

The man who was listening from the side rolled his eyes.

"The Yan Qi of Liu Song we arrested is doing dirty work. Killing, kidnapping, stealing, swindling money, it's all dirty work. There are also some robberies and houses, which are also dirty work."

Chen Jie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it.

"Gai Wu, don't do this, let the general know, it will break all the bones in your body!"

"How can I do dirty work now!" Gai Wu shouted, "I can't wait to listen to the general's teachings every day, how can I do such a thing!" "

"I want to listen to the teachings of our general...... Chen Jie proudly straightened his chest, "You finally got this opportunity, you have to cherish it!" "

"You guys stop gossiping, let's go." He Mulan came out of the back room and changed into a leather armor." Today, Yuan Sima's private soldiers enter the camp, and we are going to greet them."

Chen Jie and Mangu immediately stood up from the steps, saying "yes" in their mouths, one went to prepare horses for He Mulan and the others, and the other dragged Gai Wu and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a horse?"

"Originally, there were." Gai Wu lowered his head in embarrassment: "Later, I really couldn't do it, so I sold it for rice."

"No matter what, a warrior can't abandon his horse." When He Mulan heard Gai Wu's words, he couldn't help but sigh, "Don't you Lu Shuihu people make a living at all?" Why did it come to such a deplorable?"

"What can you do for a living? The Qiang people can still sell horses, and Xingcheng is a notoriously dry place, and they can't even raise horses." Gai Wu muttered to himself, "What's more, the tax set by King Helian is to pay seven and keep three, where can I support my family."

"Chen Jie, go and bring him his birthday."

He Mulan thought for a moment and instructed Chen Jie.

"Huh? The horse ......"

Chen Jie was stunned, and when he found out that He Mulan was not joking, he went to lead the horse with an unexpected face.

"When you have come under my door, I will give you a horse as a gift. This horse, called 'Birthday', is the mount of my former companion. He is a true warrior who once saved my life, and I hope you will live up to the name of a master of this horse and put it to good use."

Birthday is just a horse for her here, and she can't ride it once a month, so it's better to give it to Gai Wu, at least he only has this one mount, and he will cherish it.

BMW, like beauty, will end up depressed if no one appreciates it.

Gai Wu listened to the meaning of Hermulan's words, the warrior on horseback should have died, and he died to save Hermulan, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart.

At the thought of giving him such a horse with a story, Gai Wu couldn't wait to smear Hermulan's liver and brain, and swore that he would also sacrifice his life for her.

Chen Jie brought a tall yellow-maned horse to Gai Wu, although Gai Wu had a bad time, but he had followed Gai Tiantai to the north and south since he was a child, and his knowledge may be wider than that of Hemulan, and when he saw this horse, he knew that this was a good soft horse, and his heart was even more happy.

It's been a long time since I've ridden Hermulan on my birthday, and I'm a little dragged when I walk, and I can't help but shake my neck when I was held by Gai Wu.

Gai Wu is also a man who can train horses, stroking its mane to soothe it, while letting it smell itself, until it is completely quiet, and then he turns over and gets on the horse.

Shengsheng stood firmly on the ground and did not struggle.

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Master!"

Gai Wu excitedly held the reins.

"This horse is really good!"

But Hermulan thought of peanuts, and when the peanut horse came to offer it to her, he was so elated.

Thinking of peanuts, He Mulan couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, just nodded, and didn't follow the boast of a few words that Gai Wu would tame Ma Yunyun.

When she rode far away, Gai Wu asked Chen Jie beside her uneasily, "Why doesn't Master look so happy?"

Chen Jie saw that He Mulan didn't pay attention to the back, and whispered: "The owner of your horse is called Peanut, he is a slave of Rouran, and he was accepted by the general as an entourage, but when the general was recuperating from his injuries, it happened that the Rouran people fled, and Peanut led these Rouran people away for the general, and finally died in their hands. Since then, the general has kept his birthday as his mount, and he doesn't talk about peanuts."

Chen Jie thought of the young man and sighed: "He is indeed a good person, bold and careful, and takes care of the general meticulously, even standing at the door to guard the bath, if you say who the general trusts the most, it is probably him."

Bathing will also stand guard at the door.......

[,！ ]

Do you take good care of the general?

As the saying goes, a teacher for one day is a father for life, Gai Wu thought about it, his own grandfather died, and now the closest person should be the master, if he serves the master like his father, the master should also be pleased.

The master will give himself this horse, does he also have such an expectation?

The more Gai Wu thought about it, the more he felt that he had been living too comfortably in the past few days, and he didn't mean to "honor" He Mulan at all, which was really undeserved.

He'll take care of it!

"Hey, it's better to be a nobleman, the people of the Tiger Ben Army haven't been recruited yet, and Yuan Sima's private soldiers have arrived first. It's like our general, a bare-bones general."

Chen Jie whispered.

"And let the general go to greet you, isn't this a dismount?"

Although Hermulan is the left Sima, this does not mean that the right Sima is not important. Yuan Poqiang's identity is precious, and he has the reputation of being good at fighting, plus his own private soldiers have 500 people, whether it is status, strength or qualifications, they are far behind Hemulan.

The most remarkable thing about Hermulan is her extraordinary ability, but no matter how strong a person is, he can't fight thousands of troops. The private soldiers of the nobility are elite, and their equipment and physical qualities far exceed those of ordinary military households, and some powerful private armies are like Kumoti's Eagle Army, each of which is a veteran of one enemy and three enemies.

Yuan Poqiang enlisted in the army with private soldiers, and he was much more important in terms of voice than He Mulan, who now has nothing.

It was Chen Jiecai who was so worried about his own general.

Gai Wu knew how powerful the private soldiers were, but he didn't know who Yuan Poqiang was, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"This Sima was originally the prince of Nanliang, and later Nanliang was destroyed by Western Qin, so he led the elite of Nanliang to flee to our country and defected to the first emperor. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he praised his martial bravery and made him a general."

That's all Chen Jie knows about Yuan Poqiang.

"He's the prince of Nanliang, but he's under our general?"

Gai Wu showed an expression of "My master is amazing".

At that time, people had multiple backgrounds, even if they were broken princes, they were more respected by people than ordinary military households, and the same was true for Gai Wu.

When he heard that this prince was not as old as his own master, he was even more honored.

"There are too many princes in the army...... "Mangu said disappretently, "Nine out of ten in the Xianbei clan are in the army, let alone a prince of Nanliang. We Wei **zhong rely on military merit to speak, Yuan Sima does not have the military merit of our general, so he has to be subordinate to our general, as it should be. He led so many private soldiers and didn't have the same military exploits as our generals, shouldn't he be overpowered?"

In the eyes of these military households, those who have a background and a private soldier are just □□ higher, and if they really want to earn military merits, they still rely on their ability. Hua Mulan has great ability and big fists, although Mangu used to be her main general, but now she wants to be subordinate to him, but she is not unconvinced at all.

If Yuan Poqiang is really unwilling to succumb to Hemulan and has any thoughts that should not be moved, it is also his own humiliation.

The military camp of the Tiger Camp is north of Miyagi and is a newly established military camp. If Tuoba Tao sets out from the palace to the tiger camp, it is just a matter of passing through a palace city.

Kehe Mulan and the others were not qualified to go through the palace to the barracks, so they had to go around the outer city from Changping Fang, where the east city was located, to reach the location of the barracks.

He Mullan set out early every morning to supervise the establishment of the barracks, and sometimes did not return until late in the evening. Yuan Poqiang is in charge of logistics.

This is a fat difference, but He Mulan doesn't want to interfere, Su Hejun once mentioned her, she doesn't have her own people now, if she rushes to meddle in these, others will only think that she fights for power, and she has to take profit. Yuan Poqiang has people to raise, and it is not safe to hand over the logistics to others, so it is better to let him come.

He is not a stupid person, even if he wants to do anything, he will not delay the major affairs of the Tiger Army.

If it weren't for Su Hejun's careful mention of these troops, many of He Mullan's would not have been able to imagine. Sometimes, even if she knew, she could hardly change anything other than patiently following the "rules".

This feeling of powerlessness sometimes makes her at a loss, but the days are still long, and she is not in a hurry......

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking the sky suddenly came!

Hermulan was thinking about the problem when she heard the sound of breaking through the air and immediately fell down, and the arrow slashed past her side, scurrying towards her.

Mangu and Chen Jie were both born in the army, and Gai Wu had been trained in all kinds of ups and downs since childhood, and the three of them found that someone was sneaking attack, so they immediately pulled out their weapons and rode around He Mulan's side, looking around for the location where the arrows were fired

Hermulan looked at an inn on the side of the road.

There is a room on the second floor with the window not closed, and you can see that the window is still shaking.

There are not many tall buildings in Pingcheng, and the general inns or restaurants are only two or three floors, and there are very few three-story ones. Because the inn is located in the east city, most of them are stayed by wealthy families, and He Mulan has never encountered danger on this street every day, but he didn't expect to be attacked today!

The four of them waited for a while, but did not find the second arrow, so Chen Jie cautiously jumped off his horse, looked around several times, and then bent down to pull out the arrow.

The arrow did not look like an arrow shot from a longbow, the body was thick and short, and the tail feathers were sparse, so it looked like a ......

"There are actually heavy/crossbow arrows in Beijing?" Chen Jie pinched the arrow and pulled it out." Aren't you afraid of being caught and convicted of treason?"

The Wei State did not control weapons, except for weapons such as heavy nu and bed nu

[,！ ]

Gai Wu was also highly concentrated, but when he saw Chen Jie pull out the arrow, he couldn't help but shout: "Chen Jie, throw it away!" That arrow is poisonous! "

In the sunlight, the arrows of the crossbows/arrows glow green. Modern DU medicines do not turn green or blue, because the ancient DU medicine extraction technology is backward and the color residue is not good.

Chen Jie's hand shook when he heard this, and the arrow fell to the ground. Gai Wu got off the horse, tore off half of his sleeve, wrapped the arrow under his nose and sniffed it, his face was suddenly extremely ugly.

He Mulan pointed to the inn, and Mangu immediately rushed into the building and went straight to the second floor. Even at the door, you can hear the yelling in the inn, the sound of hands, and the sound of people rolling down ladders.

The barbarian looks fierce, is tall, and is a Xianbei person, so doing this kind of thing is more deterrent than Hemulan.

But in a moment, Mangu's fierce face stretched out from the open window on the second floor, and there were a few young men dressed up in the hall chasing behind.

"General!"

The ancient probe looked down.

"There's no one in the house, it's empty!"

"I told you that no one lives in this room, why don't you listen!"

The noisy sound above came again, and occasionally pulling and pulling was going to lose money.

Gai Wu was still squatting on the ground, sniffing the arrow, as if this was not enough, he actually wiped the arrow with the cloth on his hand and licked it.

"Phew! It's actually fresh! "

Gai Wu kept spitting out saliva.

"What are you doing!"

Hermulan was taken aback.

"How did you eat the poison!"

"Master, it's okay, this poison won't attack if you don't see blood."

Gai Wu carefully lifted the arrow.

"If you have mouth sores...... No, if you have a small wound in your mouth and don't know it, you're going to be poisoned."

He Mullan gave a look of disapproval.

Gai Wu seemed to be very sure, he held the arrow with a solemn face, and said respectfully to Hemulan:

"Master, can you take a step to speak?"

The inn was full of people, and He Mulan was not an official in charge of the security of the stable, so naturally she couldn't block this inn, if Chen Jie or Mangu was allowed to guard the door of the inn, she was also worried that they would be alone and poisonous, so she could only call them back.

As soon as Gai Wu called her, she immediately walked over. I saw Gai Wu holding the stubby nu arrow with an ugly face, and said to He Mulan: "Master, the poison smeared with this arrow is made by us Lu Shuihu."

"What?"

"You're not poisoned, are you?"

Mangu and Chen Jie shouted.

"It's troublesome, and no one else will toss this except for my uncles. I'm worried that my uncles have taken some deals, so I'm targeting you."

Gai Wu looked at the arrow in his hand with trepidation.

"This poison is bloody, I don't know how they dare to use it on the streets of Pingcheng. Could it be crazy?"

"Don't your uncles know you?" He Mulan looked up at the window, "You are following me, and you are not afraid of accidental injury?"

"You probably didn't see me when you shot the first arrow, and you didn't continue later, maybe you noticed me." Gai Wu looked dazed, "It's also possible that it's not my uncles who came, but just their newly recruited subordinates."

The Tiantai army was torn apart, and he only took a small number of people with him, and most of them followed his two uncles to find a way to survive.

Bei Liang and Liu Song have been wooing them, and it is possible for them to take refuge in either side.

"If Lu Shuihu has such a weapon, His Majesty must have killed you." He Mullan's expression was stern. There are not many heavy nu even in the army, this weapon assembly is so troublesome, there is actually a handful in the east city of Pingcheng, and this is still a place close to Miyagi, if the egret official finds out the origin of the arrowhead medicine, do you know what the consequences are?"

"This can't be our weapon! We are good at fighting on horseback, we use longbows and sabers, my family heirloom is double swords, and my two uncles also use double swords, this weapon is so expensive, and we can't use it on horses, what do we want it to do."

Gai Wu's face turned pale.

"Unless...... Unless someone gave them ......"

NU is different from a bow, as long as NU learns how to use a reed, anyone can use it, and the range is not known how much farther than a bow and arrow!

Seeing that Gai Wu's face was really ugly, He Mulan knew that he was worried that with his current position, he would inevitably have to fight with his own people, so he was extremely worried.

"If someone else gave it to them, can they make them push the deal? They're your uncles, can't they go back on it?"

He Mullan could only ask him with a glimmer of hope.

"Impossible, we won't go back on the deal we Tiantai Army has received. Even if you want to kill your relatives and friends, you either don't take it, or if you do, you must complete it......," Gai Wu continued: "If you fail, you will return ten times the reward. With the personalities of my two uncles, they will only persuade me to help kill you, and then divide half of my money, and will never go back."

"Then I can only report to the Egret Officer for investigation." He Mulan sighed, "The enemy is dark and I am clear, I can't hide at home every day, right?"

Who knows where there are still Lu Shuihu people hiding?

They can sneak into the inn where people come and go, let alone other places.

Gai Wu's face turned blue and white for a while, he never thought that he had just been apprenticed for a few days. [,！ ] is going to face such a result.

Tuoba Xianbei's Egret Officer has been famous since the Jin Dynasty, and if it was really his uncles who took over the assassination in Pingcheng, he would have to be found out.

When the time comes, it will not be necessary to affect all the Lu Shuihu people who live in Pingcheng, and maybe even the people of Xingcheng will be affected.

Shortsighted!

Greedy!

They're still the same.

Gai Wu looked at his master, suddenly knelt on his knees, and said in a hateful voice: "Master, this matter may affect many innocent people, I hope that Master can give me a few days to investigate this matter carefully. If there is a misunderstanding, it is best, if it is not, I will persuade my people to abandon this task."

He threw his hands on the ground, feeling his face burn hot.

"Please don't give this arrow to the Egret Officer, I will definitely solve this matter!"

Chen Jie, who was the most defensive of Gai Wu in the past, was the first to disagree.

"Who knows how many days you'll have to check and if they'll stop? What if something happens to the general in the past few days? That's heavy/nu! There are only a few of us in total who can steal weapons that can be calculated three hundred paces away, how can we defend against hidden arrows?"

Chen Jie's words shot out like arrows.

"In a few days, our general will drive out of Beijing with him, and at this time, he can't go on any errand, if your clan makes a mistake, he should accept the consequences of his mistake, how can he show favoritism?"

"Is it possible that as long as I can protect Master's safety for a few days, Master can give me a few days to solve this matter?"

When Gai Wu heard Chen Jie's words, he raised his head expectantly and looked at He Mullan.

"I have a way! Please give me a chance! "

He Mullan, who was standing in front of Gaiwu, thought for a moment, wrapped the arrow with Gaiwu's broken sleeve, and put it in the bag behind the saddle.

"Get up, don't kneel, you go and try."

"Yes! Be! "

Gai Wu stood up with extremely bright eyes and said yes again and again.

"I know that if you Lushuihu people encounter something that cannot be solved, they often use competition to determine the result...... "He Mullan told him:

"Come to my house tonight, and I'll teach you a few tricks to restrain your family's knife skills."

She had competed with Gai Wu several times, and she had long known the weaknesses of the Gai family's knife technique.

"If you can't beat ......"

He Mulan looked at Gai Wu with a stunned expression, and said with a chuckle.

"You just come back and report the news, Master, I'll call the door."
