It is not a trivial matter for Tuoba Tao to go to meet Helian Ding, at least the already busy and anxious imperial court is even more busy for this matter, and it is said that some people have seen Gu Bi fall directly on the pillar and break his head after staying up all night in the middle book.

Recently, I was bullied very badly by stolen texts, and I had to make an anti-theft chapter to protect myself. Friends who read this passage will wait for 20 minutes, and the author will replace it in the original chapter. The author needs to make a living, withstand the pressure of survival in order to create with peace of mind, thank you for your support and understanding, especially for supporting genuine friends, thank you.

This qiē has nothing to do with He Mulan, because He Mulan is just a small, inconspicuous entourage, similar to Tuoba Tao's personal bodyguard who is by Tuoba Tao because of his force against the sky, or the status of Zhao Yun protecting Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms, which specifically involves physical ......

Sorry, she hasn't been a soldier yet.

Because Gu Bi was too busy, and several of the strongest clerks under him were lazy to ask for leave, it was impossible to hide when this kind of thing happened, and the people who were in charge of the middle book supervisor obediently took them back to work, and He Mullan had to do some things himself, and he also missed the days when there were a number of people and Shan Zhiqi to help on the side.

"General Hua, I still don't understand, isn't it good to sleep on the ground?" The carpenter who was recommended to come looked at the young man in front of him a little strangely: "If it is a few feet shorter, one inch is already very tall, and you have to add it to one and a half feet now, isn't it a few times taller?"

That's right, Hermulan wanted her master bedroom to be filled with familiar furniture, and she was fed up with the furniture of this era.

Not to mention anything else, eating, drinking, sitting and lying are kneeling, for a long time, her knees and heels have appeared a layer of calluses, it is okay to sit in danger when she is a guest outside, and even at home she has to lie down all day long to write or eat, she has long wanted to make the table.

Hermulan's art foundation is okay, after all, she is a scholar of forensics, simple sketches to be a little better, she took charcoal to draw some modern simple double beds, tables and chairs, gave it to the carpenter, and carefully told him where to insert the mortise and tenon joint, what is the approximate height of each part, such a detailed explanation, as long as it is not stupid, any carpenter can make it.

But for this era when everyone was basically lying on the ground or on a low couch, the things that Hermulan painted were inexplicable "objects", at least the carpenter couldn't tell what any of them were.

For example, the chair, although it was established by the Hu people in the early Northern Wei Dynasty, was still sitting on the ground, and the carpenter first thought it was a strange-looking desk, and He Mulan told him that he was a seat, and when he sat down with his feet hanging down to the ground, he also thought that this was a kind of defilement.

Helplessly, He Mullan gave a lot of money, and most of these furniture styles are simple, and He Mullan does not need to carve any complicated patterns, it can be said that it is a big good errand received at the end of the year, enough for this carpenter to live a leisurely year next year.

So after thinking about it, the carpenter gritted his teeth and took it.

"General Hua, I helped you make these furniture, and I don't dare to ask for your bounty, you just need to give me the wages and material money, I just ask you a little, when these wooden jobs are done, someone wants to ask who made you, please don't say it's me."

The carpenter arched his hand at Hermulan.

"The ancestors gave me food and gave this craft, if outsiders knew that I did this deviant work, no one would dare to let me take on the serious work in the future. It would be great if the general could be considerate and considerate of me."

He Mulan also read a lot of novels before he crossed over, and he initiated a reform to make something special, and in the end, the protagonist shocked everyone and called it "wonderful......

But now she just wants to make the tables, chairs and benches that began to appear in the Sui and Tang dynasties for her own use in advance, and she can be criticized as "deviant" by an ordinary carpenter, and even thinks that she is working for herself at the risk of smashing her job, or she has completely poured a basin of cold water on He Mulan.

The other party's attitude woke her up even more, the advent and evolution of a thing should be inherited and continued, if it appears rashly, I am afraid that it will be regarded by many people as such a strange scene.

But He Mulan couldn't help it, and she sometimes even thought that Hua's father's knee was recurring because of kneeling in the damp bungalow for a long time, and many people in this era had leg problems, which was also related to the long-term unnatural sitting posture.

She doesn't want to masochist.

"It's easy to say, but if you don't think it's good for you, then I won't spread it everywhere. It's my own bedroom on the left and right, and no outsiders will come in, so you just have to do it."

Thinking that it would be troublesome to find a carpenter in the future, He Mulan added: "I hope that the wood can be used better, at least for a few decades, and I don't need to change beds often. If the furniture is going to break down in the future, I will ask you to repair it."

The carpenter naturally hoped that there would be a lot of work in the future, and He Mullan was very easy-going, so he happily took the money and left after a few words.

This is not a very troublesome job, the carpenter also has apprentices who are responsible for planing wood and making groceries, and he made an appointment with Hemulan to take it after the New Year, and it will be less than twenty days, and the military slaves of Montenegro will have already arrived in Pingcheng by then, and the house will not be so empty.

Not only did she find a carpenter to make furniture, He Mullan also spent money to hire a lot of craftsmen, erected horizontal bars and parallel bars, sandbags and sandbags on the school field, if it weren't for the dumbbells being too scrap iron and wasting money, she might not even use the stone locks, and asked someone to play a few dumbbells.

Several people were not there, and Chen Jie and Mangu followed He Mulan inside and out, their eyes rounded.

What Hermulan was doing was so fanciful that they didn't understand what their general was up to.

"Will.[,!] Jun, a few days ago, Mama Tuo Honglu Temple Tongwen Museum helped to find the attendants of Tonglu Shui Huyu, they have already recommended them, there are a total of seven people, ranging in age from sixteen to twenty-eight years old, all of them are innocent, and there are good families who have entered documents in the official mansion."

Chen Jie sent the carpenter away, returned and said to He Mulan, "I will let them come over at the right time, it should be almost there."

"I'll look at the military Chinese books in the hall, and if they arrive, you can lead them directly to the front hall."

He Mullan only arranged a zinc room in the front yard and the main courtyard where he lived at the back door for receiving guests and living for himself, and the other courtyards were locked up until there were enough people to use them.

She will be an envoy to Bei Liang next year, although she is not the main envoy, but she also needs to know Bei Liang, and her identity is trustworthy and entourage. Although Jingzhong will definitely be equipped with corresponding interpreters and envoys, if she wants to walk around in Liangguo, she hopes to use her own people, even if it costs a lot of money, it is worth it.

After all, they are still locals, or people who have no stakes, and they are more fair.

Originally, she was looking for Su Hejun for help, and Su Hejun told her that people like her were counted as doormen or staff, and some small translators of the Honglu Temple had no oil and water, and if He Mulanken gave some wealth, the Honglu Temple would "lend" people to her.

In addition, the "Tongwen Museum" of Honglu Temple is responsible for collecting talents who are innocent and proficient in multiple languages, recommending them to the missions to various places at the right time, and also doing intermediaries to help match the bridge to draw the commission.

Honglu Temple is responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, in charge of the emperor's guard of honor and expeditions, court meetings and other matters, the Northern Wei Dynasty is a multi-ethnic, complex environment, Honglu Temple is in charge of more, some positions can get oil and water, some positions can not get oil and water at all, such as translators.

Even if they give money and goods, they are generally given to high-ranking officials who are protocols, and they will not be given to this rotten interpreter, and as for some people who travel around and speak various languages and want to enter other people's doors as guests, I don't know how many of them can't survive.

So when Su Hejun took He Mulan on a trip to Honglu Temple, there was news within a few days. I heard that in order to compete for such a worry, the interpreters of Honglu Temple themselves also experienced some internal competition, and finally recommended seven people to come.

There were only two people in Hermulan, but seven people came for an "interview" in a row, which made her a little stunned. But thinking that maybe Honglu Temple was cautious in doing things, and the envoy was a big deal, such an arrangement might be ordinary, and after being stunned for a while, he accepted it calmly.

She hadn't turned four pages of a copy of "Wei Xuanzi", Chen Jie reported that there were already three people, and he was not like a personal soldier now, but more like a miscellaneous servant, without waiting for He Mulan's orders, he had already put the three people who came in the small hall of the front hall to receive them, and when the time had passed, all seven people arrived, and then they were brought to the front hall.

With this cleverness, Chen Jie has already dumped the barbarian who only knows how to fight, and he doesn't know where to go.

Mangu secretly envied this little brother for being a man, but he asked himself that he didn't have such a talent, so he could only secretly sharpen his sword, hoping to fight again with the Hemulan battlefield, so that he could get the road to promotion through military merit and return to the army to get his birth.

The seven people who followed Chen Jie into the front hall were a teenager, two middle-aged men, three officials dressed in low-level official clothes, and a monk with kind eyebrows.

He Mullan put down his book, and was about to take a look at them, but he couldn't help but be shocked when his eyes swept over the curly-haired boy.

Curly hair, brown eyes, facial features look like an extremely beautiful Xinjiang boy, and two scimitars around his waist......

If it weren't for Gai Wu, who was repeatedly defeated by her and still liked to carve carpentry, who could it be?

The seven people came to the door with a letter of recommendation issued by Honglu Temple, and their net worth should be innocent and they can't be innocent anymore. But He Mulan remembered that this Gai Wu was the leader of Lu Shuihu in the Northland, and he led a group of Lu Shuihu people who licked blood on the knife to fight everywhere, but he was a "high-level talent" registered under the Honglu Temple?

It's a little weird.

Could it be that the people of Lu Shuihu are already short of money to the point where they can do any job?

Maybe it was because He Mulan's eyes were too strange when he looked at Gai Wu, and several older candidates had already appeared with a look of "knowing", and there was some faint joy in their eyes.

Gai Wu's face was gloomy, but he did not show the unruliness of the later generations.

Chen Jie took out the letter of recommendation to bring out the identities of these seven people one by one, except for the last monk who was a wandering monk of Huguo Temple, the other six people were all good citizens with Wei household registration.

Gai Wu's name is registered as "Wu Gai", he is a native of Yongzhou, his father is a Lushuihu person, and his mother is a Xiongnu person, so he is proficient in the Xiongnu dialect of the Lushuihu lineage, the pure Xiongnu dialect and Xianbei dialect, although he is young, but among the seven people who came together, he is also good at it more.

When He Mullan finished reading his experience, he was even more amazed.

The experience written on this recommendation is just a few words, roughly because my father died in battle because of the Xia State War, and with my mother went to Pingcheng of Wei to join my uncle's house, I entered my uncle's household registration, and because my uncle served as a petty official of Wei, I got this recommendation Yunyun.

Gai Wu's father Gai Tiantai is a famous chieftain, but no one knows who his wife is, she believes that with Gai Wu's nature, most of the experience in this recommendation is true, then there is no problem that his mother is a Huns, and his uncle still lives in Pingcheng......

"I may have to send an envoy to Beiliang after the year, many people know this......" He Mulan knew that there were a few officials of Honglu Temple, and he must know the beginning and the end, so he didn't repeat it.

"I don't need a great translator, I just need him. [,！ Enough to know when to speak, when to shut up, and when to say something. What kind of advantages do you each have, you might as well talk about it. I only need two people, including food, housing and clothing, and the monthly bride price is three taels ......"

She pursed her lips slightly.

"Gold."

The word "gold" made everyone fall into a spell, and even the wandering monk who seemed to be an outsider and the youngest Gai Wu had a different kind of brilliance in their eyes.

A translator's work as an assistant translator is only a few pieces of cloth, a dozen liters of rice, and three taels of gold per month is enough for their whole family to spend more than a year, not to mention how many months an envoy is.

The so-called "there must be a brave man under the heavy reward", an official of Honglu Temple preemptively said: "I have followed Shungong to Beiliang, and I have also received officials from Beiliang, and I know the various rules of Beiliang......"

Another official from Honglu Temple mocked unceremoniously: "The general is an envoy of the Shangguo, and he is an envoy to Beiliang, when they follow the rules of our Great Wei, they know what kind of skills these are!" No matter how familiar you are, can you be familiar with the ceremonial officials sent by Honglu Temple?"

He rolled his eyes and said to himself: "I have always been good at change, if the general has any orders, I will definitely be able to do a good job."

This is a bit false and empty, so I interviewed people and said "I have a calm and polite personality", and my personality is "lively and cheerful", which are all empty words, and they are useless for job hunting.

In addition, this person directly ridiculed his colleagues, and there were some problems with his character, He Mulan directly drew a cross in his heart, and then turned his eyes to look at several other people.

The two middle-aged people were a little old, and one of them couldn't help but rub his hands when he saw He Mulan looking at them, and one of them said: "I have done business in Beiliang, and I only returned to Pingcheng after the business was smashed, but I know the trade routes in Beiliang very well.

Some envoys will bring some Wei and Jin specialties to Beiliang and Hu Shang to sell, trade some good horses and wine, etc., which can be regarded as making extra money, so this ability can bring practical benefits, if it is other generals, I am afraid that he will be accepted on the spot.

But He Mulan is not short of money, or rather, she doesn't need to make money in this way, and she doesn't have the time to make this money. She went to Beiliang, Mingli was an envoy, but secretly she wanted to find out Beiliang's attitude towards Wei and the attitude of the people towards Wei, and business was not on her agenda.

So the other people were faintly frustrated, but He Mulan didn't look too happy, nodded and asked another middle-aged man.

"What are you capable of?"

The man smiled and said, "My youngest son teaches Sinology in Guzang, Beiliang, and I am not an envoy for money, but I want to take this opportunity to see my youngest son, who has not returned to China for many years. On the way to Beiliang, Dorma Thief, I just want to be safe. I can not only speak Lu Shui nonsense, but also Xianbei and Chinese, my family has studied literature for several generations, and I am also coarse in writing and ink."

He paused.

"But that's not much of an advantage. In this case, if the general is willing to provide food and lodging for what I have done, then I can do without the trick of three taels of gold a month, and let the general send me."

He said "rough and ink", but his expression was very proud, and he was obviously very confident in his writing. Otherwise, even one son would not be teaching Sinology in a foreign country.

With a Han person, he can speak Xianbei dialect, Han dialect and Lu Shuihu Hu's Xiongnu dialect, it must not be a small family, and what he said "don't want money" Yunyun must also be true.

But it is precisely because his conditions are so good that such a person can't find an escort candidate? He Mulan was faintly uneasy in his heart, but he still nodded calmly, and looked at the remaining people.

One of the officials of the Honglu Temple was obviously completely damaged by the blow, and said dejectedly: "I...... I don't have any skills, I am in charge of receiving the countries of the Western Regions in Honglu Temple, I know Xiongnu and Tocharian dialect, they recommended me because ......"

He Mullan looked down at his recommendation and couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that this recommendation letter read, "This son is pure-hearted, honest and honest, and can be driven at will."

That is to say, he is an honest man and can be used with confidence.

He Mulan's smile meant to compliment, but the official probably thought that He Mullan was laughing at him, his face was even more red, and his head was lowered to his chest.

"Your referees have a high opinion of you. Your recommendation is the most suitable for doing it. But I'm going to hear from the other two."

He Mulan turned his head to look at the old and the young, and looked at the recommendation in his hand by the way.

It's just that the paper with the old monk's recommendation made her hand tremble slightly, and she almost couldn't hold this thin letter.

"Compassion, Guangping Bao'en Temple monks, traveled around to promote Buddhism, traveled to Beiliang, Xia, Xiqin all over the country, familiar with local customs, good at medical skills, Honglu Temple monk Lu recommended."

Compassion.

Compassion.

For the first time, Hermulan felt that fate had been so wonderful.

The relics of this old monk were once carried by her own hands and sent to the Bao'en Temple in Guangping, which indirectly saved his apprentice Obsession and his apprentice Sun Ruoye, and even the two monks who were rescued said that they were blessed with compassion, so they would send He Mulan to the temple and save their lives from starvation.

He Mullan liked the two disciples of compassion very much, and thought that they were both "spiritual" people, and that a monk who could teach two such disciples must be an interesting person, even if he was not a high monk.

And Compassion seems to be an ascetic, not only does not enjoy incense in the temple, but avoids it. [,！ Shi left and lived in Yunbai Mountain with his apprentices, and later drove his apprentices down the mountain one after another.

'The Buddha is in my heart, how can I destroy it!' ’

Ai Ran's unwilling cry after the outburst seemed to still linger in Hemulan's ears.

The old monk has been holding the Buddha beads, standing neither humble nor arrogant, and only when He Mulan looks at him does he recite the Buddha's name.

"The Poor Monk Dharma is called Compassion."

Hermulan showed respect and stood up for the first time to show his attention.

Such a completely different attitude from before made Compassion couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and after the two exchanged salutes, Compassion spoke:

"The poor monks will come here, it should be arranged by the Buddha. General Hua, you and I have a fate, a fate, often can't be said, but it can bring infinite changes, maybe what you need is my fate, and what you are waiting for is also the 'fate' that I came, so that we can meet."

He Mulan didn't understand Buddhism very well and looked at him in wonder.

Cixin continued to explain: "I originally wouldn't come to Pingcheng, I was going to travel all the way to Beiliang to visit Master Tan Wuyu, but I heard halfway that Master Tan Wuyu followed the Beiliang delegation to Pingcheng, so I rushed to Pingcheng again, but I couldn't enter the protocol house, so I had to hang up in the Sanglu Division and leave the monk."

"A few days later, Master Tan Wu Yu entered the palace, I heard that I saved General Hua, and because of this, I won the favor of His Majesty, I knew that it was far away to see Master Tan Wu Yu again, who expected that it would not be long before Master Tan Wu Yu placed an order in Huguo Temple, I still saw him, and knew you."

He stared at He Mulan quietly: "Master Tan Wuyu is a real monk, and he said that you are a person with great enlightenment. And I was supposed to appear in Beiliang, thousands of miles away, but I came to Pingcheng in a circle, and this is the fate arranged by the Buddha."

"I became friends with Master Tan Wuyu because of Buddhism, so I was entrusted by the master to go to Beiliang Guzang to pass a message for him, and refuse the kindness of the lord of Beiliang to make him a 'national teacher'. He is ready to stay in Wei from now on."

Compassion smiled slightly.

"Although I agreed to his commission, I don't know how to meet the lord of Beiliang, I was already ready to spend a while in Beiliang for this agreement, but I met you who want to find an understanding of Beiliang customs and know Lu Shui's nonsense, this is another fate arranged by the Buddha."

"I have traveled in Guzang and Dunhuang for three years, most of the Buddhist temples in Guzang City know each other, and I have familiar Buddhist friends in Dunhuang, maybe I can help General Hua you a thing or two. It's not fate, what is it?"

The so-called fate refers to the arrangement of fate, don't say that Hermulan believes in "fate", that is, she doesn't believe it, after listening to the words of compassion, she will also think that there are many things in the dark that are really coincidences.

Xianbei people believe in Buddhism, Lu Shuihu people also believe in Buddhism, at least Gai Wu believes in Buddhism. When he heard that this master and the famous "Tan Wu Yu" had reached the point of entrusting each other with great things, he couldn't help but make a namaste and bow his head and bow his heart.

"I understand what the master said, and I will consider it carefully."

He Mulan nodded and looked at Gai Wu, who was holding the disciple salute.

"You are the youngest, you can be recommended, you must have extraordinary skills, I don't know what skills you have? I look at your looks, it seems to be ......"

He Mulan hadn't said the words "Lu Shuihu people" yet, but Gai Wu gritted his teeth and nodded, and said:

"Yes, I'm Zahu."

"Huh? That's not what I meant...... "Hermulan waved his hand repeatedly." I don't have any prejudice against other people's origins, and I myself am an ordinary military family after being a Xianbei and Han Chinese. I'm just saying, you look like you're from Lu Shuihu, and you don't know why you're in Pingcheng?"

Gai Wu's face improved slightly when he heard He Mulan's words, but his tone was still a little hard.

"I originally lived in the Xia land, and when the Xia kingdom was destroyed, I came here. Lu Shuihu is not easy to make a living in Weidi, but in Pingcheng, there is always a lot of noise......"

He looked up suddenly.

"Originally, with this master, I should have quit obediently and stopped fighting for this errand, but I still have a family to support, and now I need this money, so I can't be humble."

Gai Wu's tone was very proud, as if as long as he fought, this position must be his. So apart from Compassion, everyone else showed expressions of disdain or anger, but the young Gai Wu stood still and continued to stare at He Mulan and speak.

"General Hua asked me what I was capable of......

As he spoke, Gai Wu shook his hands, and with two "poofs", the double knives on his waist were already in his hands, and a knife flower danced, and the double knife skirt was pointed at He Mulan.

"Presumptuous!"

"Dare to use a knife in the General's Mansion!"

It was also "Kuangcang" twice, Mangu and Chen Jie both drew their weapons, one left and one right guarding in front of He Mulan, glaring angrily at Gai Wu!

The room full of people was startled by this sudden change, and the two middle-aged men were even more frightened and took a few steps back, shouting, "I'm going to kill someone!" "I'm going to kill someone!" "

Gai Wu furrowed his brows and scolded.

"Who's going to kill someone? Isn't it up to me to do it?"

He didn't know if he really didn't understand the world or was eager to show his own ability, he looked at Mangu and Chen Jie, probably thinking that Chen Jie was young and young and didn't have his own ability, and with a shake of the tip of the knife, he attacked Mangu!

Mangu only felt that an extremely fast knife wind swept across his face, and immediately swung the knife to block, but he was cold and unaware that another knife stretched out from the side of his neck like a poisonous snake, fast and light, without any movement, seeing that he was about to separate his throat, he was suddenly shocked to the cold sweat on his back, and the whole person could not advance or retreat

[,！ ]

Just as the knife was about to cut through the throat of the mangu, a finger appeared strangely on the back of the knife.

It turned out that He Mulan, who was standing behind Mangu, saw that Mangu was in the path of "Double Knife Flow", and was worried that Gai Wu would miss his hand, so he came to the rescue.

"In my General's Mansion, you can't use weapons without permission, not to mention that there are other guests here."

With a frosty face, He Mulan pushed the knife back with only one finger, and made Gai Wu be vigorously carried back several steps back.

She has now regained her heyday of martial arts, and has fought many times with Gai Wu, who has become an adult martial artist, and is very familiar with his double sword technique, and pokes at his weakness as soon as she reaches out.

Gai Wu is not a swordsman who wins by strength, and he is still young now, and his two knives are unstable, and he often stagnates when the two knives cooperate with each other.

Gai Wu has made a name for himself among the Lu Shuihu people since he was a child because of the family heirloom double knife, and now he saw that He Mulan only stretched out one finger and pulled his knife back, and he was suddenly surprised and frightened, and the hand holding the knife was also shaking violently.

"You...... Are you a youkai?"
