Chapter 268: Her Majesty

Liu Yuanjing has been caught, and Yan Qi's whereabouts are still unknown.

The whole inn was served in one pot, whether it was the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper or the handyman, and even the guests in the inn were arrested.

In this era, there is no such thing as a "search warrant" at all, as long as it is ordered from above, if you are suspicious, whether you are innocent or not, you must first be arrested and interrogated carefully.

He Mulan sent Hua Ping and Hua Kehu back. Although Tuoba Tao is a good monarch, it does not mean that he is merciful to his enemies. The fact that so many of the tribal lords who resisted were cut off and kicked as a ball was done by this "hearty and upright" Majesty.

They have a good impression of Tuoba Tao now, but if they really see his ruthless side, maybe they will leave bad memories in their hearts in the future, so why bother.

He Mulan is the party concerned, and he wants to protect Tuoba Tao's safety, so he naturally follows Tuoba Tao with the other guards.

A number of wolf heads were also among the crowd following Tuoba Tao this time, and took the opportunity to come to He Mulan's side, and asked with a solemn face: "What do you mean by the words that the Han people shouted before?"

He Mulan didn't react: "Which one?"

"That's it...... It's the sentence that you're a woman."

The wolf head also felt that this was really nonsense, but if a spy really spread rumors to slander his rising star of Great Wei like this, it was really dampening.

He Mulan didn't know what Tuobatao's attitude would be, and he let out an ambiguous "ah" at the moment, "You heard it too?" Who knows, and I don't know why he shouted that."

"He shouted so loudly that we were outside at various intersections, and even though we didn't come in, we heard it." Some of the wolf heads looked at He Mullan with a worried face: "You are in the limelight now, and even the spies of various countries are eyeing you, so you had better be careful. It is not without a general who has not died on the battlefield since ancient times, but who has died under the secret arrow......"

"I understand, thank you for your concern." He Mulan's heart warmed, and the eyes of the second brother who looked at several people also softened: "There is always a limit to the number of people that can be hurt by dark arrows, I will be careful."

Some wolf heads deliberately befriended He Mullan, only three points were Aiwu and Wu, but seven points were because he saw that this one would definitely rise to prominence in the future. The people who can make Tuoba Tao visit his home in person, there are only two people in Dawei at present, one is Gu Bi and the other is Cui Hao.

Who are these two? They are all powerful ministers who can write and fight.

The wolf's head can gain a firm foothold in the Su Guards, and if it weren't for the habit of judging the situation, he would have been pushed to the edge long ago. At this time, most of them are for the sake of the family, and the younger half is for the sake of his simple brother, and he also wants to win over Mulan, so that several families can leave personal connections first.

He Mulan looked at people and things frankly, naturally she didn't expect that a number of wolf heads had so many ways in their hearts, she thought that some people treated him sincerely, and his brother was also a similar man, plus the other party was kind, so he gladly accepted it.

Now I don't know how many people think like a number of wolf heads, even people like Kumoti and Su Hejun don't dare to underestimate her, but if she really debunks the identity of the woman, I don't know how many people will be stunned and can't believe it.

The soldiers blocked the surrounding four streets, and arrested all the people in the inn, and Yan Qi, who escaped, hid in a private house, listening to the movement outside, and couldn't help but smash the bowls on the table of this family.

This family is also unlucky, just having a meal, was slipped in by Yan Qi, he also knew that killing someone would only arouse the suspicion of others, so he only stabbed the hostess of the house, tied her up again, and coerced the male owner and his young son to find out the news for him.

When he heard that all the people in the inn had been arrested, and there was a man in white who didn't know whether he was dead or alive was escorted away by a group of soldiers, Yan Qi couldn't wait to rush out and kill him.

He couldn't understand why a good escort mission would attract so many people to chase and intercept him.

It's all Mulan!

"Liu Langjun asked me to kill Mulan, I refused at the time, and now I can't protect it effectively, and Liu Langjun doesn't know if he lives or dies, and he can't go back to heaven......

He is just a young man, he is sought after by rangers on weekdays, and he is often in and out of wealthy families when he is entrusted by high-ranking officials and nobles, and he is used to being arrogant.

It's not easy to kill Mulan, but I know Mulan's family, but it's easy to kill her whole family. Listening to the news that the spy who ran the hall came back, his family was old and crippled, and a child was only โ–กโ–ก years old, one sword and one sword, so that Mulan would regret it! โ€™

What he is best at is killing, and he has no concept of right and wrong, and he hates Hu Ren even more, as long as he thinks of the relatives of the Hua family crying under his sword, he suddenly has a burst of pleasure in his heart.

"Yes, I can also arrest the people of the Hua family and go to blackmail Mulan in exchange for Liu Langjun.' He didn't expect that even Emperor Wei would intervene, but he naively thought that Mulan was helped by the guards here.

He himself is a person who can ignore the affairs of his family and country for the sake of personal grievances, so he thought that He Mulan was also the kind of person who would release Liu Langjun for the sake of his family, and the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

When it was dark, he thought that his skills would come and go in the dark night, so he asked the owner of the house to find out the address of the spies during the day, and after getting the answer, he washed the Xianbei people with a sword and blood, changed into ordinary people's clothes and slipped out.

At the same time, Tuoba Tao went to the Hua family under the protection of the Su guards.

"Well, what do you think my gift is appropriate?" Tuoba Tao excitedly looked at the gifts held by the guards behind him, and said with great interest. [,๏ผ "I heard that the Hua family is just an ordinary military family, and I am afraid that the heavy gift will cause them to panic. Anyway, when Mulan enters Beijing, he will be rewarded, and when the time comes, giving more will be equivalent to giving it to his family."

"Your Majesty, this gift is still too valuable. And the Hua family doesn't necessarily like to read."

Su Hejun looked at Tuoba Tao's excitement and couldn't help but sigh.

That's right, what Tuoba Tao makes people hold is the Five Classics.

The Four Books and the Five Classics became a must-read for students in the Song Dynasty, when engraving and movable type printing were popular, and the printing industry was prosperous, so all kinds of books poured into the people from the homes of dignitaries and nobles.

But in this era, all books were copied by hand, and the earliest engraving printing was also until the Tang Dynasty, and books were the most valuable accumulation of a person, especially the "Five Classics" in this era.

Tuoba Tao thought that Hua Mulan knew how to read, and his family must also be literate, as long as there were younger generations in the family, these books would definitely be able to be used. This book is not easy to come by, it was scavenged from his distant brother when he went to the General's Mansion for dinner, there are many notes from everyone, and the Hua family must be very happy.

In order to surprise Mulan, Tuoba Tao also sent her back early to accompany her family to dinner, just to make Mulan grateful and reap this satisfaction.

This gift is indeed precious and not vulgar, Su Hejun just said it casually, in order to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

I don't know what secrets this Mulan has yet, but this majesty seems to be sure that she is a trustworthy person. He was afraid that Mulan really had some unusable secrets, and His Majesty valued her so much now, and when the time came to let this Majesty be frustrated, and turn from love to hate, it would be a pity for Mulan.

Thinking about it this way, even Su Hejun also hoped that Mulan's secret was what Liu Song's detective shouted, not some story like Li Dai Taozhuang.

"You're so vulgar. If you want gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and heroes like Mulan, can't you earn them yourself? Sending those to his family is humiliating him! "

Tuoba Tao watched the local soldier leading the way in front of him slip his footsteps, and asked strangely, "Is there something wrong?"

"No, no, there's nothing wrong."

The soldier continued to lead the way with a full face in his heart, and when he reached a rather chaotic street, he pointed to a small courtyard and said, "This is where Captain Hua lives now."

"Such a small place......

Tuoba Tao rubbed his chin. The Hua family still has to live with their cousins?"

"The Hua family lived in the ancestral house of Huajiabao before, and they only moved back recently, and I heard that it was Zhang Luohua Kehu's marriage." Su Hejun replied to Tuoba Tao's own news, "I'll knock on the door."

The doors were wide open, apparently ready to greet them.

Su Hejun hadn't entered the courtyard yet, and He Mulan, who heard the movement inside, had already opened the door of the inner room and walked out with his father in his arms.

Father Hua, Patriarch Hua and Hua Kehu didn't know what Tuobatao's status was, and He Mulan couldn't reveal it to them for safety, but he roughly told them that this was a big man and her top boss.

Although I don't know why a young man in his early twenties would be a big man or a direct leader, the Hua family still came out to greet him with trepidation.

"Du Yuanjun, this is my grandfather, he has a lot of inconvenience in his legs and feet, don't be surprised." He Mullan bowed apologetically.

"My mother is frail, she had a lung disease last winter, and she was so excited to see me go home today, and I had another seizure, and now I can't get out of bed, so I can only give you a gift in bed, please forgive me."

Tuoba Tao swept his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised.

He had seen Hua Ping and Hua Kehu a long time ago, and he had his own impression of their burly physique, how could he think that the person who gave birth to a brave child like Hua Mulan was also a strong and powerful person, how could he be a middle-aged man with a slender body and a cane?

Looking at the child next to him who was about โ–กโ–ก years old, generally thin, and his snot was still dragging on the middle of the person, Tuoba Tao resisted the urge to go up and help him wipe it, and said incorrectly: "Hehe, I have been looking up for a long time, I am here to be presumptuous......"

What about the tiger father who said that there is no dog?

Said to be a good general!

Who is this snotty kid! The emperor personally came to the door, and his brother didn't know how to wipe it!

He Mulan was stunned when he saw Tuobatao, and only then did he realize that Hua Mutuo had snot coming out from under his nose. She hadn't been home before, and Hua Mu Tuo was not young in later generations, so she didn't know that Hua Mu Tuo had such a runny nose.

She wiped her brother's snot with her sleeve, and her face became even more embarrassed: "This is my brother, who has just passed his ninth birthday, and his name is Hua Mu Tuo."

"Warriors?" Tuoba Tao glanced at his small body. Well, eat more, kid, and you can only be a warrior when you grow stronger! "

"My grandfather said that my family is poor and can't afford to eat so much meat." Hua Mutuo grinned and said what Grandpa had been fooling him with on weekdays.

He Mullan was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.

"The child is open-mouthed, and I thank you for your kindness on his behalf."

'Cattle and sheep are so cheap that they can't afford to eat meat?'

Tuoba Tao glanced at the small and broken Hua family, and regretted bringing the book with some regret.

'Maybe what the flower family needs is gold, silver, and jewelry?'

But he brought it all, and Tuoba Tao could only be a little embarrassed to order someone to send the "Five Classics" as a gift. He Mullan knew that the books of this era were precious, and immediately accepted them with a thousand thanks.

Fortunately, both Father Hua and Flower Ping showed a very happy expression, Tuo.[,! And Batao's heart was greatly relieved.

I know that the Hua family must not be a layman!

Even if you look thin, it's not a vulgar thing!

Several people respectfully welcomed Tuoba Tao into the house, and even the army of Su Wei and the local garrison poured into the hall of the Hua family, and immediately looked cramped.

Don't say that you are sitting upright, and you don't even have a place to stand.

Tuoba Tao thought about it, divided most of the army to go out to guard, only the guards were left in the house, and first went to see the flower mother on the sickbed, and then returned to the hall.

Alleys, huts, crippled fathers, sick mothers, young sons.

He always knew that Mulan didn't look like a dignified person, but he never thought that such a bright and upright hero would be like this.

Hua Mulan followed Kumoti as a personal soldier, and also went to the Great Summer Palace with him, facing the carved beams and paintings, the luxurious court, he was able to maintain a normal attitude and not be moved at all, so that he always thought that even if the other party had an ordinary family background, it would not be too bad.

But now, a disabled father in the family will definitely not be able to grow much, most of them will be cultivated for others, and he will collect some of the grams himself, so the family will not get much food.

Even if it's not as bitter as Hua Mutuo said, it's not much better.

All of a sudden, Tuoba Tao made up his mind in his heart, when he turned back to reward Mulan, he must give a little more gold and silver, I heard that his previous income was raised by the Tiger Army, this time even if the ancient servant coughed up his throat, he had to give more!

He Mulan didn't know that Tuoba Tao had regarded his family as a "poor household" and was preparing to help the poor, when he saw a room of people including Tuoba Tao who were cramped and uneasy, he couldn't help but speak up first:

"My family is an ordinary military household. Hua Kehu is my cousin, and my uncle and other uncles died in the battle of the clouds, leaving only my cousin as a descendant. My grandfather was injured by the cold injury suffered by the previous Great Khan when he attacked Liu Song, and his legs were soaked in the water for too long when he crossed the river in winter, and he couldn't walk in autumn and winter, and it was often difficult to even get down in bed in winter...... In the past few years that I have been in the army, I have relied on the patriarch and clansmen to take care of my grandmother."

"It turned out to be full of martyrs." Tuoba Tao was in awe, "You guys are really amazing."

As soon as he heard that Hua Arc was actually a veteran who had gone on a journey with his father, he immediately saw that he was even kinder. He didn't know that Hua Arc was not so thin originally, but he had lost weight after suffering from this disease.

The most commendable thing in Hua Arc's life is the military exploits made by Zheng Huatai, hearing his daughter's introduction, others praised him, and immediately said modestly: "The first Great Khan and the current Great Khan are both people who can fight well, and it is our honor to fight under them, and it is better than anything else to be able to win the battle."

This is the idea of a typical Xianbei person, and Tuoba Tao is also happy to hear it, and he only cares about laughing.

After a few words of gossip, Tuoba Tao probably also understood the situation of the Hua family, and from their familiar attitude, they also knew that Hua Mulan was definitely not a Li Dai Taozhuang from outside, and she must be her own child.

But Hua Jiaxing's second daughter is a daughter, but this Mulan is a man, what is going on?

Could it be that there is any immortal method in this world that can turn a woman into a man out of thin air?

Tuoba Tao was puzzled, and his heart was uncomfortable with curiosity, so he simply said to He Mulan bluntly: "General Hua, I have something to ask you, can you take a step to speak......

Just in time!

He Mullan simply stood up.

"My old room is still empty, let's go there."

"Mulan, that room isn't suitable."

Father Hua is in a hurry, there is a dresser in the room!

"Grandpa, it's okay, this envoy is a trustworthy person." He Mulan turned around and comforted Father Hua, leading Tuoba Tao to Mulan's boudoir.

Tuoba Tao can't have no one around him, Su Hejun is a confidant, and his martial arts are not weak, so he immediately followed. The guards guarded the door of Mulan's boudoir, and the three of them entered the house.

When he opened the room, Su Hejun was stunned.

There is a dressing table in the corner of the house, the wood is not bad, and there is a copper mirror and a few boxes of makeup boxes on the dressing table. The style of the bronze mirror is a little old, and the paint on the makeup box has peeled off a little, obviously for some years, it will not be used by young women nowadays.

The lacquer box was actually Yuan's dowry, which was later given to Mulan.

In this era, copper and money are similar, many people don't even have copperware, there is a brass mirror here, the flower family has a copper mirror, and the ancestors should have been beautiful.

But in any case, it is very strange that a young general has a dressing table and a makeup box in his old room.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no smell of fat powder in this house, but that there was a smell of medicine everywhere, they would really think that this was a girl's boudoir.

Tuoba Tao stood in the room, glanced at the room, which was not as big as his toilet, and asked his own questions frankly and directly.

In his opinion, Hermulan was worthy of his direct inquiry.

He also believed that He Mullan would not deceive him.

"Mulan, I know that you must have a big secret, I don't like to beat around the bush, I just ask you, what are you hidden from the bush?"

Tuoba Tao stood with his hands in his hands and said proudly: "Since I am the king of Wei, if I can't help you, others will definitely not be able to help you. Just tell me your problem, and I'll help you solve it."

He Mulan looked at Tuoba Tao who was standing tall, and then looked at Su Hejun with a hopeful expression beside him, and for some reason his heart suddenly became hot.

Whether it is Mulan or He Mulan, they finally follow the right master.

Regardless of Tuobatao. [,๏ผ How stupid and brutal he became later, but at this time, he was really a capital that people were dedicating to it.

What's even more valuable is that this is not the corporal he pretended to be.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that if his subordinates were in trouble, he would definitely help if he could.

Just like the respected elders of later generations, or the broad-minded bosses, when they learn that they can help others, they cannot be rejected.

This is the "measure" of his human being.

"But Your Majesty ......," He Mulan said with tears in his eyes, holding back his sour nose. My unspeakable secret, even if you are the king of a country, it is impossible for you to help."

Tuobatao's proud expression suddenly froze.

Hahahaha, although she thinks that waiting for a while may anger him, she still thinks that he is really cute like this.

Although there is a great emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, if she really wants to choose a king to be her friend, she will definitely choose a monarch like Tuoba Tao.

Because it's so interesting, it's unabashedly anything......

Su Hejun on the side looked at Mulan with some disappointment, as if he was about to hear something terrible from her mouth.

In his opinion, rejecting Tuobatao's help is equivalent to leaving a handle that is more important than his future and life in the hands of others, and there will never be a good end.

He Muller thought so too. She didn't think she was going to die, but it was true that she would be disappointed.

"Your Majesty, no matter how powerful you are, you can't turn a woman into a man."

Mulan's biggest secret was finally revealed ten years earlier.

"Huh? That's it?"

However, the words that Hermulan said made Tuobatao, who had been frozen for a while, re-reveal his natural expression.

"Nothing else?"

'For example, you are poor and have no money, so you have to work for someone else.

Or maybe your mother isn't actually sick, but poisoned, and you have to be coerced or something.

Or maybe it's a promise that you'll give your brother a future, so he's working hard for his family or something.

Even if you are a spy of the enemy country, I can warm your heart! โ€™

Tuoba Tao looked at He Mullan expectantly.

'Say it! Speak up about your difficulties! โ€™

Tuoba Tao eagerly awaited the opportunity to brush Mulan's loyalty.

Hermulan had been bewildered by Tuobatao's natural attitude.

Could it be that this emperor can't accept the fact that "men have turned into women", and he is already stupid?

"Majesty, I mean ......"

"You mean you're a woman. I know, the eunuch next to me, Zhao Ming, is not also a woman......" Tuoba Tao waved his hand disappreciatively, "A woman is a woman, don't you just have two more pieces of meat on the top and one less meat on the bottom, you are a eunuch, and I will reuse it."

He suddenly looked at Hermulan with a sharp gaze.

"Mulan, I use you, not because you are a brave 'man', but because you are Mulan. You are Xuanyi Mulan, the Huwei general Mulan, and the hero who captured the ghost Fang and beheaded Da Tan angrily."

"I'm going to use your person, not your gender. If I only need a brave man to shape a hero of the Wei Kingdom, I can pull out a street in Dawei, I will choose you, because I think you are the usable person I have been waiting for, and I have been waiting for the usable person in Dawei."

"But Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm a woman, even if you don't care, your courtiers, your people......"

"Mulan, what do you think the king of a country should look like?"

Tuoba Tao laughed amusedly, "Since I was a crown prince, there have been countless people who have said in front of me that when the king of a country should do this, when the king of a country should do that, everyone has a different opinion. But in my opinion, it's just that these people have ambitions but haven't done it, so they imagine adding rules and regulations to rationalize themselves. What does the king of a country look like, if it is that despicable and depressing appearance, I don't want to do it......"

He reappeared that proud look.

"Now, if anyone tells me what to do as a king of a country, I will reply to him: 'Show me how to be the king of a kingdom yourself. According to the way you said that the king of a country will definitely become a king, go and build a country for me.'"

Tuoba Tao is really a very interesting person, and his ideas are really random and straightforward that a school of people can't understand.

But when he expresses his opinion with such thoughts, it will only make people think that he is a respectable emperor.

"None of them have that ability, but I do. I expanded the territory according to my ideas, conquered the Xia Kingdom, stepped through Rouran, and achieved what my ancestors did not do. I am the lord of Tuoba Xianbei, the lord of the Han people, and I will be the lord of the Central Plains in the future......"

He stared earnestly at his general, who was stunned.

"So your worries are unnecessary, because they have to listen to me."

For a moment, many things came to Hermulan's mind in a mess.

[Of course I want to live longer...... But Mulan, I want you to live more than that. ใ€‘

[At the beginning, you didn't want to be my brother, and then you didn't want to be my personal guard, and now you don't even want a future and glory and wealth, then I will keep you peaceful for the rest of your life. ใ€‘

[I am the king of a country, if I want to take away your innate qi, do you still have to deceive you? ใ€‘

In the last life. [,๏ผ The burly back she had seen in the illusion had been re-covered by the proud impression of the young gentleman now, and she was convinced from the bottom of her heart.

The pain I have suffered in the past two years, the cruelty I have seen, the tears I have endured, the injustice in my heart, and the sorrow for the backwardness of this era are all worth it because of this sentence.

You don't have to worry so much, because they all have to listen to me. ใ€‘

It has nothing to do with love, it has nothing to do with family affection, she lives in this era, and what she really needs is actually just a person telling her - "You don't have to worry so much".

Why did Mulan sigh like that?

Why did her knees feel convinced by the person in front of her from the bottom of her heart?

'This is her majesty.'

'It is for whom the war is made, and for whom the four sides are willing to be pacified.'
