Chapter 392: The Contradiction Begins

He Mulan, who was wanted to be with him, is now racking his brains to think about how to grab Li Shun's handle and expose him completely.

Because further on was the border of Beiliang, He Mulan wrote a letter overnight to send the last post station in front of the border of Kuaima to Guò, telling him what happened to him all the way to Beiliang and what Li Shun had done along the way.

She didn't hide the fact that she was greedy for Li Shun's gold, she knew that Tuoba Tao would not care about such a trivial matter.

However, the time to go back and forth is too long, at least about two months, He Mullan almost writes a letter in ten days, but it is probably not long before the previous letter arrives in Pingcheng.

Li Shun was very careful, whether it was buying Gai Wu or Zheng Zong, there were no other parties. Gai Wu and Zheng Zong are both her people, even if they say that Li Shunli is a foreign country, no one will think that she is biting.

You can't be soft-hearted when dealing with this kind of person, anyway, others already feel that they are not polite to Li Shun, He Mulan simply sent a hundred-person tiger army to "protect" Li Shun closely, and even followed him when he ate and went to the toilet, not giving him a chance to contact outsiders at all.

Zheng Zong and Gai Wu also made a look of "being a man with their tails between their legs", although Li Shun was angry and angry, he had no choice but to be restrained by his arm injury, and secondly, his hands and feet did not work inexplicably, and he was weak in his heart, so he endured it like this.

'Maddened you, and you will cry later......

Li Shun, who was watched by the Tiger Army day and night, scolded angrily in his heart, and simply regarded them as really "protecting" and recuperated with peace of mind.

The mixed procession of caravans and missions traveled quickly, and it was not long before they arrived at the first town of Beiliang, "Haiziying".

Of course, there is no sea in Haizi Camp, but the name given to the larger oasis by the people of the desert. The town is located near such a large oasis, and not only is there water and fields, but it also produces a delicious lamb with tender meat and a soufflé made from goat's milk more fragrant than with cow's milk.

Along the way, Hermulan had already heard the merchants from all sides praise the delicacy of the lamb, she didn't think much of it, but the people under her hand drooled when they heard it one by one, and the envoys of Beiliang said that the army of Liang to welcome Wei had arrived in Haizi Camp, as long as the mission arrived, they would immediately escort them to Guzang, He Mulan couldn't help but have a little more expectations for Haizi Camp.

There was almost no danger along the way, although the horses were not as good as camels walking on the sand, they did not enter the hinterland of the desert, and there was enough food, grass and water, so there was no big problem to see the walls of Haiziying.

It is said to be a city wall, but in fact it is just a wall about the height of a person. Because it was built on an oasis, most of the walls were open, and there were many gates throughout the city, and there was no way to defend them, but only a symbolic meaning.

Hermulan had never seen a city like this before, and the officers in the team who were responsible for recording the topography along the road and the city guards had begun to sketch out the map in their minds and probe the armed forces of the entire city.

Before they got closer, they heard the trumpets sound in unison, and the sound of joyful singing sounded, and then they looked closely, and from the gaps in the countless walls, many men, women, children, and officials of the Liang Kingdom came up to greet the Northern Wei delegation with songs and dances.

He Mulan didn't understand the language here, so he couldn't help but ask Cixin and Gai Wu and the others around him: "What are they singing?"

"We're welcome." Gai Wu paused, "Wait for someone to offer you wine, I don't know if there is anything mixed in it, you'd better not drink it."

"This ......"

She looked at the many orchids who came forward enthusiastically and smiled wryly: "It's probably not easy, right?"

Sure enough, a group of Beiliang women rushed to He Mulan singing and dancing, and He Mulan rolled the saddle and dismounted in a warm manner, and drank the goat's milk wine they handed over, but fortunately, the portion was not much, and he did not drink much.

Seeing that He Mulan also drank, the other envoys and the generals of the Tiger Ben Army dared to take the wine and drink it, and those women were even more happy to see that everyone had drank, and their footsteps were frequent, turning in circles again and again, swimming through the mission like a butterfly, and many of the singles who hooked swallowed their saliva, and they couldn't wait to follow the flying skirt corners all the way over.

And the envoys of Beiliang greeted He Mulan politely and asked about Li Shun's situation.

They all knew that Li Shun was the chief envoy of this mission, and they had all dealt with Li Shun, and they were all very surprised to see He Mulan come out to receive them as the main envoy.

When she heard He Mulan say that Li Shun was injured and that she was temporarily the main envoy, a group of envoys sent by Lord Liang looked at each other and didn't know how to continue.

"Then please rest in the Haizi camp first, and the army and caravan can be stationed near the Haizi camp...... "An envoy named Mo Gan was more sophisticated, and first invited the people in the mission to enter the city to rest, and then pointed in the direction of the south of the city.

"There is a lot of water and grass over there, which is the best place for horses to rest and eat."

When he arrived here, even if he arrived in Liangdi, because he had met Li Shunhao many times before, He Mulan did not dare to be careless at all, and brought 300 guards into the city, and the rest of the army was stationed outside the city to protect the dowry in the mission and the caravan attached to the mission.

The real task of Hemulan is to find out the national conditions along the road of Liangguo, including how many guards are in the city, how the people live, and how many men can fight.

The results along the way were astonishing, a small Haizi battalion, there were hundreds of guards on each open mouth, and the number of people together was definitely more than five hundred.

You must know that even in the Wei Kingdom, such a small town like this, there would not have been five hundred guards.

He Mulan was really strange, so he asked Gai Wu and the others beside him, but one of the envoys who accompanied He Mulan had sharp ears and turned back with a smile when he heard the words:

"Haiziying's cattle and sheep are abundant, and again.[,! ] in the oasis, so often attacked by sand pirates. In fact, there are more than so many guards in the Haizi battalion, and some of them have gone out on patrol and will not return until the evening."

He Mulan nodded in understanding, but heard Yuan Fang next to him quietly lower his voice: "He lied."

"Huh?"

He Mullan also lowered his voice and asked him.

"Why?"

"I just noticed when I went over, and now these guards are not familiar with each other, one of the guards wanted to call another person's name, but he didn't do it after opening his mouth a few times, so it can be seen that they were all temporarily transferred here." Yuan Fang smiled mockingly, and his voice was lower: "Frustrated Qu Mengxun is afraid that our country will attack, so he deliberately made such a small city look like a strong army, so as to show off his national strength."

He Mulan was skeptical of Yuan Fang's words, but from her experience as a general, such a city with many gates due to geological reasons was not suitable for garrison defense, because it was not an easy town to defend and difficult to attack.

Based on what the envoy just said, this place would be a good supply point for the patrol force.

Thinking of this, Hermulan couldn't help but smile.

When the national disaster is at hand, Bei Liang from the lord to the officials are trying to make the country survive longer, which is not a respectable behavior.

Compared with the Rouran people who were defeated with one blow, Da Tan directly burned the king's tent and fled, and Frustrated Qu Mengxun is a generation of heroes, but the hero is in the twilight, and he happened to meet Tuoba Tao.

A corner of peace is naturally good, but Beiliang guards the east and west, and the geographical location is too important, and no neighboring country is willing to let it show.

The three hundred tiger ben army followed Hermulan into the city, and she was accompanied by the Compassion Master, Gai Wu, Zheng Zong, and Na Luo Hun. Li Shun was wounded in the arm, and Li Shun's deputy accompanied He Mullan into the city with the Wei envoys who came with him.

Chen Jie and Mangu were left to guard the big tent, He Mulan was not ready to spend the night in the city, and he was also worried that Li Shun would take the opportunity to do something, Chen Jie and Mangu had one heart and one brain, and it was best to cooperate with each other to do this job.

Haiziying really lives up to its name, not only the lambs are fat, but also there are many melons and fruits. Maybe it's because these Beiliang envoys are more familiar with Li Shun, maybe they don't know He Mulan's spleen and stomach, all in all, the politeness of a dinner party is due to a lack of enthusiasm, and the atmosphere becomes a little more relaxed until the girls from Haiziying come out to dance and toast.

"I wonder if the third prince of your country has returned to China?" While Mullan was drinking, he asked about the frustrated Muqian, "He left the group in the middle of the group and left alone, which made me really worried."

"Huh? Didn't our third prince stay in the Wei Kingdom? The letter received in China said that His Royal Highness the Prince had a sudden illness and had to stay in Wei to recuperate......"

The envoy of Beiliang was so shocked that his eyes widened, "Why did you leave halfway through?"

A group of Wei envoys were in an uproar.

"Obviously he left on his own! Didn't you send an urgent letter saying that the lord of the country was seriously ill and asked Prince Fuqu Muqian to rush back as much as possible?"

"I also said that I have been sick all the way, either I have a headache or brain fever, and I don't want him to recuperate, so I have to follow us to drag down the trip!"

"How is your lord now?"

He Mulan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt that there might be something strange about the departure of the frustrated herdman.

The envoys of Beiliang have always thought that the lord of the country is seriously ill, so the prince abandoned the envoy and left only with the deputy envoy Bai Guangping and the guards, they are all members of the envoys, but they were abandoned halfway to follow the envoys of the Wei State, and their embarrassment and grievances can be imagined.

"I don't know where the general's urgent letter came from, but our lord is in good health, and he is not seriously ill......," an envoy said unhappily, "This is no different from a curse, and I hope to be cautious."

"Then dare to ask you, is it possible that the third prince has returned to China, but you don't know?" Hemulan's heart sank more and more.

"If he returns to the palace, the lord of the kingdom will surely summon him to inquire about the envoy, but we have not seen him return. But we're all from Guzang, and we've been here for half a month, so there's no guarantee that we won't go back in this half month."

Bei Liang's envoy Mo Gan replied sleekly.

"Maybe there's some misunderstanding in it."

If there is any misunderstanding, it is also caused by Li Shun, who is the master.

At this moment, He Mulan was extremely glad that he had put Li Shun under house arrest.

The other envoys probably noticed the strangeness as well, and they all looked secretive.

The first dinner party when he arrived in Beiliang was carried out like this, and He Mulan almost didn't know the essence of what he ate, and no matter how fat the lamb was, it had no taste.

The rest of the people are all the same, one by one, like a soul wandering in the sky.

Until He Mullan got up halfway to go to the toilet and went out to meet an innocent and cute little girl.

No matter where He Mulan went, Na Luo Hun and Gai Wu followed inseparably, even if they went to the toilet, they were also guarding the door. All three of them are adults, and they are not charitable, so most people avoid them when they see them.

When the little girl saw He Mulan, she didn't shy away from greeting her, and when she saw He Mulan, she spit out a lot of words, and He Mullan was stunned for a moment, and could only look at Gai Wu blankly.

She couldn't understand Lu Shuihu.

"She asked us if the fact that we had come to marry their princess as the wife of the lord of the kingdom meant that we would not fight."

Gai Wu looked up at He Mullan with a complicated expression.

"She said that the whole city was afraid of war, so she sneaked up to you and asked."

For a moment, He Mullan was stunned.
