"What? You said Chen Jie was sent to prison?" He Mullan thought about many reasons, such as being sick, having something at home, or simply being impatient to accompany Mulan on this kind of messenger-like errand, but none of them were like what she had learned......

-- Imprisoned for smuggling military rations.

"No, it can't be." Di Yefei was even more incredulous than He Mulan." Chen Jie's grandfather was imprisoned for his crimes, so his family named him 'Jie'. "

Although the Xianbei and Hu people do not have the habit of Han people calling each other "words", Chen Jie's character is "Decao" Everyone knows it.

How could such a cautious family watch their children smuggle military rations?

All those who return home from the front line are rewarded with fields, the Chen family was originally well-off, and he himself was sealed in Chen County after receiving a lot of rewards, and became a lieutenant who trained local county soldiers, smuggling grain, where to transport it?

His family shouldn't be able to eat food

He Mulan's impression of Chen Jie was still on the young boy who was "torn apart", and now he was slightly surprised when he heard Di Yefei say that he was a "violent temper".

Seeing He Mulan's surprised expression, Ah Luhuan thought that "General Hua" was surprised by this result, so he had to tell everything he knew.

"General Hua asked us to investigate the situation of Captain Chen a few days ago, so we passed on the news to the egrets of Chen County. The reason for this is that the pigeon letter can only carry a limited amount of information, so we only know the general situation."

The so-called pigeon letter is a letter wrapped around the bamboo ring under the pigeon's feet, which is mostly made of light silk cloth, and the words that can be written are very limited.

He Mulan had seen the "Flying Pigeon Biography" in the TV series, and was deeply impressed by the small note that came out of the small tube, and accepted his statement after a little recollection.

"Thank you."

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has opened his mouth, it can be regarded as a business matter." Ah Luhuan grinned. General Hua, the evidence of Captain Chen's imprisonment is conclusive, and even he himself has confessed his guilt, so you might as well be relieved. Wait for more detailed news to come in a few days, and then make arrangements."

"Nope."

He Mullan was eager to wait for news in a few days, but her heart was extremely agitated, as if there was something that had to be done and she had not done it.

It only took a moment for her to know what she was fussy.

This is probably some strange sensation or connection from the original owner of this body.

"I'll go to Xiangxian tomorrow."

Xiang County is the county of Chen County, which is much larger than Yucheng, and is very close to Liu Song in the south, so you can see the scenery and goods that cannot be seen in the north.

Liang County is also in the south of the Great Wei, Yucheng and Xiang County are not far away, if you are fast, you can set off in the morning and arrive in the evening. It is precisely because Yucheng and Xiangcheng are close that Chen Jie runs more diligently than other comrades.

"Aunt Hua, are you going to Xiang County?" Shan Zhuo couldn't hide the excitement in his heart when he knew Hemulan's plan. Can I go with me?"

"Ahh Do you want to go? Aren't you going back to your hometown for the New Year?" He Mullan has long been out of office, and he can't do anything to go, so he will leave immediately because of the confused and uneasy feeling in his heart.

Ah Shan Zhuo was willing to accompany her, for a He Mulan who came to ancient times and ran to Yucheng with Brother Hua at the farthest, it was a bit of a surprise.

"…… Can't I stay for the New Year? I mean, I can't go back to my hometown in time for the Chinese New Year. Well, I probably ......" Shan Zhuo's face flushed.

"Of course you can stay for the New Year." He Mulan smiled and soothed the somewhat helpless Shan Zhuo in an affirmative tone. I just didn't expect you to want to stay here."

"I ...... I already told my mother when I came out. I want to travel for a while. I will receive military stickers at any time, but I haven't been out a few times, and I have seen the heroes of the world......" Shan Zhuo's eyes flashed with the unique longing and expectation of young people.

"Haha, what an ideal!" Di Yefei praised and walked in from the courtyard. It's just that heroes don't want to see them, if they are calm today, heroes will become like your aunt."

He still can't accept that the majestic Mulan has become a village woman in the countryside who feeds pigs and carries big bags all day long.

Be a village woman who works as a coolie!

That's like a word!

"Aunt Hua is good like this." Akira Tuoba, who learned Mulan's conclusion from the egret, also got into the house. Everyone has their own aspirations, General Di has General Di's road, and General Hua has General Hua's road."

Seeing who the person who came, Di Yefei didn't speak anymore.

"What are you all doing here?"

He Mulan inexplicably glanced at Taka Huang, who had also entered the house. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been very low-key since his identity was revealed, and he is well-behaved as if he had just arrived at his house.

"I heard that Aunt Hua is going to Xiang County?"

"Yes."

"Then you have to take me with you, too." Tuoba Huang smiled and said, "You promised my 'cousin' that you would take good care of me."

"Keeping you is the only way to 'take care' of you. What's more, with Di Yefei and those entourages of your family, I can rest assured." He Mulan was prepared to leave peacefully with the intention of handing over the "Royal Highness the Prince" to Di Yefei.

Di Yefei can bring all the way from the northwest to Liang County's personal soldiers, how can he not be a mediocre hand.

"That's why I'm here." Di Yefei clearly disagreed. [,！ Hermulan made his own arrangements." There is my old department in the army in Yuzhou, and I can help you find out the news."

"Aren't you going back to Dunhuang?"

"It's not bad these days."

Hey, hey, hey, in front of you is the master you will be loyal to in the future, the second leader of this huge empire, is it really good to say such things?

Aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts after the autumn and condemn you for dereliction of duty?

Tuoba Huang looked thoughtfully at Di Yefei, in exchange for the latter's move to look away.

Shan Zhuo, who had been listening to the clouds, shook his head and continued to look at He Mulan with expectant eyes:

"Aunt Hua, take me tomorrow!"

"And me!"

Tuoba Huang is not to be outdone.

"…… Then let's go together. Bring your retinue."

He could already imagine how tricky the journey would be.

In the evening, He Mullan began to pack up his things for the next day's departure.

It is not necessary to bring a rock, and this kind of two-handed sword will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. But you can bring one with a short blade.

Hua Mulan has always dressed up as a Xianbei man, and it is normal for Xianbei people to wear weapons at their waists.

You should also bring a little more gold beads, as well as pearls given by Tuoba Huang, which can be carried with you.

In case you need to dot up, giving someone a pile of cloth is simply looking for the end of rolling your eyes.

Ever since he knew that Tuoba Huang was the crown prince, He Mulan put away his thoughts about returning the bag of beads to him.

It's very expensive to ask Mulan to be a bodyguard!

There is also a treasury at home. It's also very difficult to move all these things away at once when thieves come, and if you want to take these things away without alarming anyone, probably only Gao Jinlong and the group of rangers under him can do it.

However, Gao Jinlong and others promised not to touch her things, so she could believe it.

Just let the little brother take care of her big house, and then block the door of the storeroom with something.

He Mullan was tidying up his things and worrying about the things in the storeroom. She really wanted to know sooner why Mulan didn't use the money. After she wore it to ancient times, she found that it was too difficult to hide such a large amount of assets in this era, and her family was not a big family that the Ding family would protect.

It is no wonder that so many people choose to return to their hometowns to buy a large number of fertile land as a farmer, it is too difficult to keep their property safely, it is better to buy land and buy a shop safely.

She couldn't help but sigh at the thought of bringing a bunch of henchmen with her tomorrow.

Until now, Shan Zhuo's child didn't know that Tuoba Huang was the prince, and he slept too deeply on the night of the incident.

The flower father and mother may know that the identity of "He Guang" is not simple, but they are probably used to pretending to be confused, and they don't even ask their daughter what happened that night, and they are only a little more polite to He Guang, which makes He Mullanbai worry for a night.

Now Shan Zhuo regarded the few "egrets" that appeared from time to time as the subordinates who finally came from the north and persuaded the young master to go home, and repaid 120,000 sympathy to them.

Out of good intentions, he even talked to Tuoba Huang at night in front of the window, persuading him to go home and honor his parents.

Ah Danzhuo is a tenacious and solid-eyed child, so when he started talking, Tuoba Huang, who was quite well-buried, could only go to He Mulan for help with tears in his eyes, and even willing to live in the same room with Di Yefei, who was angry.

The so-called born one thing descends one thing, for such a result, Hermulan can be said to be gloating or happy to see it. After idly throwing a sentence to Tuoba Huang, "I will have to pay it back sooner or later", she even encouraged Shan Zhuo's behavior in private.

"Adan, you did a great job! should let this kind of boy who is in the midst of happiness and doesn't know how wrong his behavior is!

Encouraged Ardan Zhuo's persuasion became even more fierce. It has reached the point where Tuoba Huang ran away when he saw him, and was willing to follow the egret around the countryside.

in the side room.

"You should go home, really." Seeing that Tuoba Huang had closed his eyes and was about to get up with a look of unbearability, Shan Zhuo hurriedly grabbed him. Where are you going? You're going to leave early tomorrow morning, how are you going to ride tomorrow morning if you don't stop now?"

Falling asleep on a horse is going to fall.

"If you want me to sleep well, please stop talking!" Tuoba Huang made a gesture of "worship the Buddha." It's the first time I've known that a man can be so nagging."

"Huh? Am I nagging?" Shan Zhuo's eyes widened. But if you don't go home......"

"Aunt Hua is not my own Aunt Hua."

"You're enough!"

Tuoba gritted his teeth and hammered the quilt, sparks coming out of his eyes. Have you not seen a man who has no home to return to? Haven't you thought that I might have some trouble not being able to go home?"

"Can you put away your self-righteous kindness!"

Ah Danzhuo was obviously frightened by such a tuoba, and opened his mouth wide and was stunned like a fool.

After a long time, he let out a sad "um", tucked the quilt up, covered Tuoba Huang and himself at the same time, and closed his eyes silently.

Tuoba Huang clenched his fists irritably, turned over, and turned his back to the honest boy.

He knew his words were a bit excessive. This simple teenager is indeed for his own good.

But as a biological mother who was given death by her biological father since she was a child, and now she is disgusted by her biological father so much that she has to go out and hide. [,！ The poor bastard in the limelight, Tuoba Huang listened to Shan Zhuo saying the sentence "Your father will worry about you, your mother will worry about your cousin, and the whole family will worry about you" every day, except for a burst of depression, he couldn't find any other feelings to vent.

No one can be blamed for this, from the moment he chose to approach them in a lying way from the beginning, he should have thought that there would be such a weak and weak day.

Let's sleep.

I'm going to be on my way tomorrow.

"What's wrong with you two? Got a fight?" He Mulan went out refreshed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Ah Shan Zhuo with two panda eyes and Tuoba Huang with an uncomfortable face.

"Nope."

"Nope!"

Two children speak in unison.

A black-faced child like Shan Zhuo can make people see dark circles and bags under his eyes, and it is obvious that he hasn't slept well this night.

As for Tuoba Huang, although he couldn't tell if he slept well last night, from the fact that his eyes immediately retreated to other places as soon as he touched Shan Zhuo, He Mulan could be sure that he had done something wrong.

But she didn't want to ask about the question between the two teenagers. For the "Adolescent Counseling" course, her pediatrician's friend is an expert.

And she......

Probably more inclined to "filial piety under the stick".

"Mulan, when you go out, you must be careful." Yuan Shi gave her a cloth bag of boiled eggs with some concern, and stuffed everyone with a few oiled paper bags wrapped in Hu cakes.

"It's not as good outside as at home, you're so old, don't be impulsive when you go out, if Xiao Chen really has something, you can discuss it with Master Di."

The Yuan family is still inclined to this kind of thing to let men come forward.

Di Yefei, who was in the courtyard and was sharing orders with a few pro-soldiers, raised his head when he heard the words and smiled at the Yuan family.

Suddenly, several egret officials in the yard couldn't help but look at the trees, and their expressions seemed to suddenly see some flowers blooming.

Yuan was also a little flustered by Di Yefei's smile, and while shouting "hell and hell" in his heart, he stuffed the Hu Cake that he originally wanted to hand over to Di Yefei into his daughter's hand and asked her to take it.

Father Hua sat on the stone bench at the door and didn't say anything, just kept looking outside the door and into the courtyard, lowered his head and sighed.

Brother Hua took out his sister's horse from the backyard, he only fed it green beans at midnight, and this time in the morning should be the most energetic.

Yueying immediately sneezed when she saw Hermulan, and then ran to Hermulan with extremely graceful steps and rubbed her head against her face.

"Okay, Auntie, Chen County is not far away." He Mullan tossed the cake to Di Yefei. You take care of yourself at home, don't take Xiao Changle too hard."

"Di Yefei, are you okay?"

"Alright." Di Ye flew over and got on his horse." I'll ask them to go first and go to Chenjun to find my old department."

"Let's go, then!"

Noon.

"Ah Luhuan, are you sure you know the road?"

The group of people who rushed to the road all morning looked at Ah Luhuan, who volunteered to lead the way.

Before that, He Mulan had already discovered that the middle-aged egret official who seemed to be the leader was gone, and when asked about Tuoba Huang, he only said that he was going to do something.

So now the temporary leader of the egrets is Ah Luhuan, who has the highest official position.

But it was this Comrade Egret who, after confirming that he had been to Chenjun many times and knew that there was a trail that could be taken shortcuts, brought everyone into such a pocket-like valley.

"No matter how you look at it, it's all trees and mountains, where are there any paths!" Ruerchi patted his companion on the head. When was the last time you went to Chen?"

"About a year ago, I was lost here. I remember that on the way I found a small temple with a few ascetic monks who entertained me with hot water and some vegetarian bread." Ah Luhuan said that he has a nose and eyes, which makes others uncertain again.

"Is it around here, we're going astray? There are mountain walls all the way, except for a dozen families at the foot of the mountain, where is there anything...... Hey, there's a woodcutter over there! "

Shan Zhuo happily pointed to a villager dressed as a woodcutter at the bottom of the low slope,

"I'm going to ask for directions!"

Then he ran happily towards the villager.

"General Hua, I really didn't recognize the wrong way. I'm a scout, how can I not remember the way! I still remember the two big trees on the side of the road, and I haven't even moved the place! Ah Luhuan's face was a little unbearable, and he continued to explain to He Mulan on the horse that he was really not a road idiot.

Muller hadn't been here, in fact, she hadn't been anywhere here. So she could only comfort him in a gentle voice: "I believe you are not misremembering. But maybe there are other reasons why you can't find your way, so you can't be irritated. If you get impatient first, we don't know what to do."

Maybe it was He Mulan's words that worked, and the expression on Ah Luhuan's face was much better. He groaned for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, and searched for it carefully.

The roads in the mountains are almost the same, especially where several slopes are connected together, and there are only a few small valleys between the mountains, and there seems to be no difference.

On the other side, Adanzhuo asked the woodcutter and rushed over at a trott.

"No road! The woodcutter said that this place is all mountain walls, and there are no roads! He pointed to the other side, "The uncle said that you can go to the main road from that side."

"Ah Luhuan, don't toss!" Ruerchi looked at Ah Luhuan, who was still circling around. [,！ He shouted. Even the people here say there are no shortcuts! "

"I can't be mistaken!" Ah Luhuan's shouts were also heard." Give me a few more moments! "

"It's really not quite right here." Di Ye Fei plucked a few strands of hair and stretched it into the air.

Hair flutters in the opposite direction of the mountain wall.

"In the vicinity of Dunhuang, there are many moving 'ghost caves', and many others claim to have seen the fairy kingdom in the desert...... "He drove his horse in the opposite direction of his hair to the front of the mountain wall.

"Some people say it's just an illusion that something called a 'mirage' makes others see. Others say that it is a distant or heavenly scene, which is inadvertently reflected on the earth......"

Di Yefei pressed his entire ear against the mountain wall. There are many vines hanging down from the mountain wall, so Di Yefei's gorgeous face is reflected by the vines, and it looks a little like a legendary mountain ghost or something like that.

"But whatever the hallucination is caused, the fake is the fake, as long as you don't get confused by the eyes."

He gave a smug smile.

"Mulan, break this mountain wall!"

As soon as Di Yefei's words came out, everyone looked at him like a madman.

"Di Meiren, you won't treat me as a god, will you!" He Mullan rolled his eyes. I can't do such a thing as splitting a mountain to save my mother."

Tuoba shook off his horse and walked curiously to Di Yefei's side to touch the mountain wall in front of him.

The mountain wall, obscured by the entanglement of trees and vines, does not look different from the mountain wall that comes all the way.

"Huh......"

He also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and pulled the vine hard.

Click.

The vines that should have been rooted in the mountain wall and firmly grasped the soil between the rocks of the mountain were pulled out easily by the young people whose strength was by no means big.

"Aunt Hua, this mountain wall is really wrong!"

Hearing that Tuoba said the same, He Mulan turned over and dismounted, walked over to them, and pushed the mountain wall hard.

'It's not a whole.'

Hermulan just pushed and got this conclusion from the feedback in his hands.

"Go farther."

He Mullan didn't know how the mountain walls were piled up. If she pushes and triggers some mechanism or a falling stone from above, and all of them are pressed down and the person next to her is crushed, then it's over.

Even if she didn't crush to death, she still had to work hard to move the stones to avoid them from ending up with a "chest broken boulder", wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Ah Luhuan, who was not far away, saw General Zhenxi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tossing in front of the mountain wall, he immediately thought about it, and suddenly stepped back a few feet and looked forward!

This is it!

It should be a narrow passage with mountain walls on both sides!

He Mulan walked to where Di Yefei was standing just now under the expectant eyes of Ah Luhuan and the others, casually ripped off a few vines that were charming and eye-catching, and then stretched out his hand.......

The woodcutter, who was watching a group of people tossing in front of the mountain wall from afar, had his heart in his throat, and it didn't take long for them to avoid it, and he couldn't help but smile relaxedly.

That's great! He said, well, so many people worked together to seal it......!!!

Miscellaneous!

What the!

The woodcutter had a frightened expression.

He coughed violently as he gasped in the cold winter wind.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem...... I am...... I'm ......" he patted his chest hard, unable to believe his eyes.

"Did I meet the mountain god?!"

Boom! Knock knock!

A loud crash came from the other side of the mountain.

In front of the mountain wall, He Mullan used ten percent of his strength to finally push a few loose boulders.

As the boulder "fell" from the mountain wall, a huge hole appeared in front of them.

It's just that these stones are very skillful, and the vines around them entangle the other stones well, and they won't loosen or fall down because of the lack of two stones.

He Mulan looked at his palm with annoyance in the expression that Tuoba was about to stare out.

"Oops, pinky fingernail broken."

She has ears to pluck.

"Ah Luhuan!"

He Mulan beckoned to the guys named "Egret", which was actually "Wood Chicken", and pointed to the big hole in front of him.

"There's a way here."
