Mr. Song Er, who originally intended to marry Yuan Zhen and Mrs. Di Ji, almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Yuan Fang was still proud of his mentions, and was coldly vetoed by Mrs. Di Ji and Gai Wu, his face was a little unbearable, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

After all, he is the lord of Yiwu, the suzerain of the south of Xiang County, and he was slapped in the face like this, and he didn't turn his face directly for the sake of his stupid nephew.

'I/I haven't even said it! ’

Di Yefei and Gai Wu were furious in their hearts, and their faces were very bad.

"The Iron Lady is my guard, but not my slave. Master Yuan, if the Iron Lady is unwilling, no one can force her to do anything."

Di Yefei obviously rejected Yuan Fang's suggestion." I have accepted your sincerity, and there is no need for the Iron Maiden to sacrifice her freedom."

"Lu Shuihu people don't like to make decisions on their own. Master Yuan, you said you have business to do with us, but we haven't agreed yet." Gai Wu smiled extremely badly." You have to respect our rules."

He lightly revealed his intentions, and instead let Yuan Fang think that this was an attitude that he personally expressed.

As the center of the incident, He Mullan was the most indifferent. She didn't even know why these two people were reacting so violently.

In her opinion, this is nothing more than a play, she has now found Chen Jie, and she can withdraw with someone at any time, and she will not stop it.

As for Di Yefei's promise to Tuoba Huang to investigate the truth of the Yuan family's Wubi, they also checked it almost enough. As long as the Yuan family continues to do the smuggling business, they will definitely be caught by the egrets and become the handle in the hands of Great Wei.

So she didn't say anything, she didn't have any unusual expression, and she didn't have the anger of being humiliated.

For her, Yuan Fang is just a perverted stranger with a somewhat eccentric personality who likes to engage in NP and "feasts", and is not even as good as Chen Jie, who has only met a few times.

This discussion ended hastily, and only got a verbal promise from Mrs. Di Ji, and his nephew was still in Yanfei Building, so it could be seen that Yuan was unwilling, but he had to accept it.

The soldiers who had been sent to protect her, as well as the guards who had clearly experienced the big scene, became Madame Dickie's greatest reliance at this time.

"Mrs. Di Ji" had fully accepted his cooperation, but still did not let Yuan Zhen go, but only promised Yuan Fang that as long as they returned to Xiang County and ensured that Yuan Zhen no longer had inexplicable hostility towards her, she would let him go.

Yuan Fang was naturally not very happy, but the shape shì was like this, Mrs. Di Ji also let him see Yuan Zhen, although he was restricted from freedom, but this nephew still had breakfast in the main room, he thought about it a little, and accepted "her" Jianyì.

On the contrary, Gai Wu deliberately made it a little difficult because of his displeasure with Yuan Fang, and the price of Lu Shuihu's protection of the caravan in the Western Regions had to be negotiated.

Yuan Jiajiu was in Chen County, and he didn't know much about the situation in the north, but he also knew that the mercenaries of the Lu Shuihu people were the only northern forces he could borrow.

As for Gai Wu?

He's just trying to fix the head of the house.

On the other side, after finally sending Yuan Fang and his party away, He Mulan pulled Di Yefei to find an empty and uninhabited place, and couldn't help but express his doubts.

Leaving from Yuan Fang, He Mulan immediately removed the expression of "no sorrow and no joy", after staying up all night, the unbearable sleepiness faded, his head would become extremely clear, and even his thinking would become clear.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any side effects.

He Mulan lowered his voice and asked viciously at Di Yefei:

"What the hell are you trying to do? This is not trying to save Chen Jie at all! Did that kid tell you something, why did he suddenly talk about doing business?"

Obviously, it is just the task of investigating the Wu Bi of the Yuan family and rescuing Chen Jie, but now that the task has been basically completed, Di Yefei is a general in Zhenxi, and he is a white body, so he should retire with success, let "Mrs. Di Ji" and "Iron Lady" completely disappear from the world, and then hand over the matter to the court or the Egret officials.

As a result, Di Yefei's attitude was not like this at all.

He even branched himself out to continue the detailed discussion with Yuan Fang.

Don't say he didn't mean it!

Even if she didn't know Di Yefei's urine, the memory of her body had clearly hinted at what kind of character Di Yefei was.

It's a terrible feeling that everybody knows about it and keeps you in the dark!

And what happened last night when he hid in the rockery. Obviously, he had promised to leave it to her to deal with, but in the end, he still went.

Although she knew that Di Yefei might be for her safety, but also worried that she would be deceived, and she shouldn't be hypocritical, He Mullan still felt an offense that was not respected and trusted.

Maybe the original Mulan would have looked at these open-mindedly and smiled, but He Mulan couldn't bear it.

She had complete trust in Di Yefei, and he had been a stranger with whom she had almost nothing to do before.

Therefore, after the long negotiation was over, the irritability caused by the extreme sleepiness after staying up all night suddenly exploded, forcing Di Yefei to the edge of having to speak.

"Are you fools when I am Mulan, or a good thug? What the hell are you planning?"

Di Yefei was a little frightened.

He probably didn't. [,！ I saw Mulan, who was so angry, so I was stunned for a moment and shook my head.

"No, how could you think that? It's just that for so many years, you have never liked intrigue and all kinds of intrigues, and you have always shown an indifferent attitude towards the affairs of the court, so neither I nor His Highness have mentioned this matter to you, so as not to make you more troubled."

"We don't think you're stupid, and we don't think you're a good thug. On the contrary, because we all want to protect the tranquility that you have always expressed, we have to avoid this matter......"

"Do you think I can regain my former peace now? From the presence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by my side in such a way, it is impossible for me to deceive myself that I can still live an ordinary life in the past! "

He Mulan had seen this for a long time, but because Tuoba Huang did not express his intention to pull her into the water, and assured her that she could drive him away if she was dissatisfied, she simply put aside this annoyance and treated him as an ordinary nephew.

But her "kindness" is not always treated correctly.

"Naturally, we also know that it is not good to avoid this kind of thing in front of you......"

Di Yefei was a little annoyed, "How to say it, it's probably because we want to show our best side in front of you, so whether it's His Highness or me, I don't know how to speak."

Now it was Hermulan's turn to be stunned.

"Mulan, I'm no longer the guerrilla general with you. His Royal Highness is not as simple as Ardan Zhuo."

Di Yefei sighed, which made his appearance as a woman look a little sad. I am Chinese New Year's Eve four years today, and I have spent fifteen years in the army. I am the general of Zhenxi, and I have nearly 10,000 horses under my command, and I am responsible for suppressing the alien races in the northwest, but I can't take the initiative to start a war......"

"Mulan, it costs money to fight. We can't take the initiative to plunder, and the other side is not stupid and will give us an excuse to attack them. All the officials of the Great Wei Dynasty have no money, only rewards, and the soldiers rely on the spoils of war as the capital to live and live, have you ever thought that there are tens of thousands of people under me who want to eat and drink?"

"I naturally know how hard you worked, but what does this have to do with your intentions this time?"

It was also after He Mulan traveled to the Northern Wei Dynasty that he first learned that there was such an absurd official system in ancient times, which was simply to encourage others to take bribes and wantonly provoke wars.

In addition to armaments and rations, those who serve as soldiers really have no serious income at all, and the so-called "military service" of "service" is originally not paid. The Northern Wei Dynasty was not a conscription system, and all generations were conscripts who did not need money, but they fought the battlefield to make profits, although this maintained the morale and strong combat ability of heroic combat in wartime, but once it was peaceful, it did lay a great foreshadowing.

Why did Tuoba Tao fight for years and years? I'm afraid it has something to do with this system. This backward bureaucracy, based on the tribal system, fundamentally greatly hindered the development of the Wei state.

"It's not something we can do with our beaks, we are generals with troops, and we are only responsible for conquest and leading our soldiers. So when His Highness later consulted with me, I hesitated, but I agreed."

Di Yefei pursed his lips. I'm not here to find out whether Yuan Fang collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but to find out if he can be used by us. The trade channels he mastered...... It's something very important."

"These large and small sect masters standing on the land of Great Wei have huge connections and resources that the current Great Wei is completely out of reach. That's something that's been accumulated over decades, if not centuries. If we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have had a chance to work with them......"

"Is that so? Chen Jie is just a pretense, and the arrest of Gai Wu is also a pretense, and even the investigation of Yuan's family and Wu Bi is also a pretense. The real purpose is to catch up with Yuan Fang." He Mullan sneered. I don't understand, you have been in the Western Regions for a long time, do you have to often appear in the south as 'Lady Dickie'?"

"Mrs. Diggie has a noble status, how can she often show her head. In the future, it will be enough for someone in charge to come forward." Di Yefei heard Hemulan's displeasure, and his tone was a little flattering.

"Actually, the matter of Lady Dickie is not all a lie. Dunhuang does have a noble and wealthy widow who fled from the persecution of the Shanshan royal family, and now she is sheltered in business under the Great Wei Dynasty and lives in Dunhuang for a long time. I am a border general of the Great Wei, and I am still somewhat majestic in the Western Regions. However, in the future, the affairs of trade will still be handled by His Highness and this widow, and I will only be responsible for protecting the smooth trade routes and the safety of the goods from the Western Regions......"

"Ah, you've planned so carefully, it's not like a ploy that comes to mind at all. The egrets must have been staring at the Yuan family in Chen County for a long time, right?" He Mulan's eyes fell directly on Di Yefei. What about His Highness, did you and Tuoba Huang meet at my house by accident or deliberately?"

Do they think she's a secret junction for the underground party?

This is relying on Tuobatao's appreciation for her, so take her out as a pretense?

"I'm from the Prince's side."

The words that made both sides a little embarrassed just came out.

Di Yefei didn't move, and looked at He Mulan, who had completely lost the temperature in his eyes, with a sad face.

The latter pursed his mouth tightly, and the black pattern on his face seemed to become thicker. Her eyes suddenly became cold, but she still looked at Di Yefei stubbornly.

Di Yefei had a hunch that if he exposed his true face of "unscrupulous" greed for power in front of Mulan, maybe he would really lose this "friend" completely.

But that's also a part of him, who he really is

[,！ ]

Today's Di Yefei is no longer the Di Yefei of the past, if Mulan can't understand this, he will always be the friend of the same account who was secretly kissed by Mulan to find face, a friend, a robe, but always with a false atmosphere.

Even Tuoba Huang will take advantage of his "beauty", the world is so cruel, if he is really weak as a woman, he would have been bitten by wolves and there would be no scum left.

He wanted to take a gamble.

Put his "unreserved" self in front of Mulan, will he be pierced by thousands of arrows, or will he regain the warmth that only belongs to Mulan.

Dead or alive, this is probably his last chance to choose.

"I'm from the Prince's side,...... But I have never been in contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and I should say that I have not yet reached that position." The corners of Di Yefei's mouth showed a hint of bitterness.

"Although I am a general in Zhenxi, my majesty has always relied on the army and the Xianbei nobles, and I am not in a critical position as a border general from a mixed background. However, since I am from the background of the Imperial Guard, even if they despise it, they will not take it lightly, but it is limited to that."

"In fact, I will become the crown prince's faction, and it is also the result of necessity. Hanchen has always been in charge of the baggage and logistics in the DPRK, and the grain and grass at the border pass are either allocated from the hands of the Hanchen, or assisted by the Xianbei nobles, and then the grain depot in Beijing is turnover.

"So later, Su Hejun matched me and let me get in touch with the characters of the prince's faction, and I quickly got closer and got the convenience from the prince's side......"

"Mulan, in today's imperial court, either follows His Majesty or relies on the crown prince, and the neutral ones usually don't please both sides. But His Majesty's side is too crowded, and a person who is not outstanding in his background is not taken seriously at all. The Xianbei nobles often have a clan of soldiers, and the Han people have the human and financial resources accumulated over generations, and the Xianbei nobles under the command of His Majesty will not want a miscellaneous vassal, but I need the support of Jingzhong."

"-- Joining the crown prince is my best choice."

"Is it Suhe-kun again?" He Mulan muttered to himself. So, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met at my house, but it was actually just accidental?"

He Mulan's tone was a little softer, "That's right, right?"

"It's not false that I went to Pingcheng to report on the movements in the northwest. Later, I learned from Su Hejun that you have not been doing very well recently, and Su Hejun tactfully told me that my majesty still wants you to be a 'nanny', and this time it is the grandson of the emperor, so I set off and secretly came to Liang County to find you......"

Di Yefei's tone was extremely sincere.

"I didn't know that the prince was here, and Su Hejun wouldn't tell me about this kind of thing. But now that I think about it, this qiē should not be accidental, Su Hejun is so eager to talk and stop, and knows my temperament, the less he says, the more I think. I'm afraid he has already guessed that I will definitely go to your house, and then meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and use it for him......"

He Mulan let out a long sigh of relief.

No matter what, Di Yefei didn't deliberately hide it, nor did he join forces with Tuoba Huang to play her like a fool, which finally made her feel better.

As long as Di Yefei said it, she believed it.

This comes from Mulan's intuition.

If Mulan wants to believe him, she will.

"Mulan is not a fool who doesn't understand politics at all, nor is she a hypocrite who can't accept other people's ambitions." He Mulan looked at Di Yefei silently.

"'Mulan' has also led soldiers, so she naturally knows how difficult it is to lead an army. The compromises and self-defilements made by General Xia and General Wang for the sake of the overall situation have never been regarded as cowardice or unbearable. Everyone has their own way of choosing to live, and the actions they make to survive and grow stronger are never despicable."

Di Yefei's face suddenly brightened like a dying patient suddenly glowing with vitality.

This kind of Di Ye Fei made He Mulan unnaturally move his eyes to other positions.

There is no way, there is a kind of beauty that has nothing to do with gender, which may bring him many benefits to his colleagues, and bring more fear of all kinds of tribulations. Especially when he doesn't have a huge force to protect himself, it becomes natural to pursue greater power and power.

"Di Yefei, I won't blame you for this, and I have no position to blame you. Yu Gong, he is the king and you are the minister, since you are loyal to him, you naturally obey him; Yu private, he is of great benefit to your future, and you also need to go further in this matter, this qiē is all a mistake, and the result of the situation......"

Di Yefei was able to climb to that position, and the hardships she experienced were not something she could comment on at will.

Since he didn't really hurt her, and it wasn't Di Yefei who put her in this dilemma where she couldn't leave the prince or get involved in the court dispute, then she didn't need to be angry with others.

But......

A voice came out of Hermulan's mouth that seemed to be muttering to himself: "But a true benevolent monarch will not disturb the life of a person who has no ambitions. If Hua Mulan has no ambition and pulls unwilling people into the act of 'paving the way' without authorization, this highness is really too far away from the majesty sitting on the throne, and his vision and heart are really too far away."

"Your Highness, he ......"

Di Yefei prayed heartily for Tuoba Huang.

Once Mulan gets angry, it is definitely not something that can be solved by beating someone up.

"I'm a person who has no interest in power or status. Of course, this is because I am a woman, but more because 'Mulan' knows that she wants to. [,！ What exactly do you want?"

"It is certainly not wrong for a person with great ambitions to climb to the highest position or to follow the one who is most beneficial to him. But no matter what the situation turns out to be, the relationship built by intrigue and lies cannot be long-lasting and stable. Even if the Great Wei is now relying on iron hooves and blood to make the Quartet rise and fall, His Majesty, who made this national policy, is still a person who is upright and upright and lives up to the honor of his ancestors."

"Akira Takuba wanted me to be his 'nanny', but I refused. No matter how much I change now, I won't be like this. I don't get my approval of the way he acts."

Di Yefei's expression stiffened. Maybe I've never met such an arrogant person who would go against the grain and talk about a prince behind his back.

But so what, He Mulan just relied on Di Yefei not to go to Tuoba Huang's "small report", so he vented his anger so vividly.

Her eyes were terrified by the rage. But even so, her tone remained as calm and calm as ever:

"Although you have also concealed me, it is driven by all kinds of manpower and providence, and I believe that you are more concerned about my feelings than anyone else. But His Highness, who appeared with me from the very beginning, was disguised with all sorts of falsehoods. It may be a bit of a shame to say such a thing, but ......"

"Di Yefei, I'm pretty sure that this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not worth following 'Mulan' at the expense of freedom.

"So I can still maintain this kind of private friendship with you, but my Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I, when we return to Xiangcheng, I'm afraid we will have to part ways."

She has been absurdly trapped here for so long, and now that Chen Jie has been found, it is time to leave.

Although He Mulan said it clearly to Di Yefei, if he said that he had no guilt in his heart, it must be false.

It's just that since everything has happened, although Mulan is only a white body, to put it mildly, the land under her feet does belong to the country and the emperor.

There was too much intrigue in the change of power, and she was angry at the disrespect they felt for not telling her the truth, and the ridiculousness of tearing her down without considering whether Mulan wanted to get into it.

And that prince, except for wanting to impress her with her "pity" as a woman and her "loyalty" as a former minister, really didn't show anything that made her admire.

This shining point is not to say that his unforgettable memory, or that he can make such a plan that can be counted in one fell swoop immediately after Gai Wu fled to the Yuan family, these are all "techniques", a talent, not a belief that can move people's hearts.

This kind of belief Hua Mulan has, Di Yefei has, and even ordinary people like A Dan Zhiqi and Chen Jie have it, although Gai Wu's "faith" sometimes makes her inexplicable, but it also does not lose a kind of belief. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have had it, but in the process of getting along with her, she really didn't find anything that surprised her.

Maybe he's so good at disguising himself that he's forgotten what he's trying to say.

He Mulan traveled through time and space as a forensic doctor, and said unceremoniously that unless she returned to her old business and was willing to do such a cheap job as a "servant" with the heroic body of Mulan, she was afraid that she would not find any value in this ancient world, but she never concealed her thoughts because of this.

Through the Qiē left to her by the "Mulan" who passed away somehow, she unexpectedly achieved a balance between "past" and "present", and worked hard to maintain all the relationships that Mulan wanted to maintain.

It is the relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter, sister and brother, and the relationship between this country and Mulan. Even the robe of the past, and even the rivals that may appear in the future, she wants to maintain this relationship.

Otherwise, Mulan really doesn't have anything left.

Strive to make "He Mulan" a person worthy of the name of "Mulan......

That's what she believes in now.
