65 Befriending warriors
Of course, there are no tigers around Yuan's Wubi, and if there were wild tigers, such a large Wu Fort would not be built here.
In fact, why the tiger is in Wubi is all to blame on the head of the family.
There are a large number of orchids and female slaves in the Windward Pavilion, and this Yuan family master will be new and pampered by these orchids at the beginning, most of the time they are just raised, and even used to entertain guests or attract people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Y Cave.
Because of this, tiger bones, tiger whips, tiger blood, and even any part of the tiger's body that can be used for medicine have become sought-after. Even Yuan Fang himself probably didn't know where the "warm tonic" pills he ate came from.
The nearby hunters and medicine farmers all knew that if there was something aphrodisiac, they could always be sold at a good price in Yuan's Wubi, so a new way of wealth came into being.
This tiger was obtained from Guangping County and transported to Yuanjia Wubi to sell live. Tiger blood is only taken when it is alive and not wasted, and the stewards related to the Yuan family and Wubi have done a lot of this kind of business, and after a long time, they can't help but be careless and let this tiger run out.
Yuan Fang didn't have to think about what he was going to do with him. Because this careless steward has been scratched by a tiger in the place where he bought wild goods in the West Market, and he can't die anymore.
The tigers fled to the market, and no one was bitten to death, but there were many shade people who were scratched or injured by trampling on each other. There are also those who have the audacity to hide in some rooms or behind the Yuan family's armor soldiers to watch the excitement, and the bravery of this female warrior in the Western Regions is vividly transmitted, and even the patterns on her face have become some kind of secret method of the Western Regions, which can make people temporarily possessed by gods.
All in all, Hermulan felt that even the little girl who brought water to scrub her wanted to look through her skin to see if there was a Hercules or something hidden behind it.
"Thankfully, the ink doesn't come off when it comes to water." He Mulan frowned and picked up the freshly washed clothes he had at hand. What is this?"
It was not her outer robe, but a black leather coat that was worth a lot of money at first glance. Although He Mulan himself also has a lot of clothes, most of them were obtained in the army back then, and they have been worn for a long time, and most of them are hairy and hairy.
Who sent it in?
Doubts are doubts, her special hunting suit can no longer be worn, so she has to casually change the clothes inside, put on this black cloak made of unknown animal skins and go out.
Di Yefei had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw He Mulan coming out in the black coat, he also frowned.
"This Yuan is so magnificent, he actually sent you a dark cloud leopard coat."
"Clouded Leopard?"
"Well, a kind of leopard-like cat, its skin can't splash water, and it is insect and ant-proof, which is rare. With such a leather coat, I don't know how many clouded leopards have died."
"Yuan Fang gave me this?" He Mulan touched his clothes, "Shall I go back?"
"No need, he's stupid, you just wear it."
"Uh......"
It seems that Di Yefei is not in a good mood right now.
She better not mess with him.
"Iron Chief." An egret officer in charge of finding out the news suddenly knocked on the door. Downstairs Gai Wu wants to see you."
Di Yefei and He Mulan looked at each other, not knowing what the situation was.
Just after "Mulan Fights Tiger", both Di Yefei and He Mulan just want to stay for a while and plan what to do next.
At this time, the main person they were looking for came to the door, and Mullan didn't know how to take it.
"I'll take a look." He Mulan touched the pattern on her face, and the slightly raised feeling made her feel a lot more relieved, "I'll be careful, and I will talk less. If you get acquainted with him, you might be able to find Chen Jie's whereabouts."
Di Yefei thought for a while and nodded.
"Be careful not to show your flaws. Gaihu has a calm personality and is changeable, and I have also heard of it in the Western Regions. If there's something wrong, he can't beat you anyway, just put it down and get it back. There aren't many Lu Shuihu people here, and the people we brought with us are more than enough to suppress them."
He Mulan nodded, went out of the main room of Yan Fei Building, pushed the door and went downstairs to the courtyard, and really saw Gai Wu in white standing there with double knives on his waist.
The last time I saw him, his ribs were broken by the back of her sword, and now it has only been more than a month, and this person has been acting as usual, and this person's ability to recover is simply amazing.
Seeing He Mulan come down, Gai Wu first showed a happy expression, and then showed a ghostly expression.
"You're a woman, too?"
Yuan Fang didn't know where to get this leather coat, except for the slightly wider shoulders on her, there was nothing inappropriate about the size. She played the role of a "female warrior" this time, and she no longer leaned on men in terms of dress, and when she fought with the tiger, her hunting suit had already been dyed, and her face was covered with blood, and she was also tall, and it was normal not to see men and women.
"It's a woman? What does that mean?"
He Mulan lowered his voice and asked him in a hoarse voice.
"No, I don't mean anything else. It's just that I still know a heroine, and I always thought that a female warrior like her was hard to find in the world, and I couldn't imagine that there was another heroine in the world who could fight with her hands."
He Mullan only thought about it and knew who he was talking about.
It's not Mulan, who else can there be.
Unexpectedly, he was defeated by himself, and he made such an oath, but when it comes to Mulan, he is still a "hero" and a "female warrior". [,! ] to be called. Is it Lu Shuihu's natural admiration for warriors, or are the men of this era who have a hero complex, but praise the people who defeated him?
Either way, this guy Wu isn't a despicable villain.
The disgust for his robbery and kidnapping has diminished a little.
Gai Wu seemed to think of something sad, and after he finished speaking, his face lost the brilliance of when he first came. When he saw the precious leather coat on He Mulan, his expression couldn't help but darken again.
Whether it is the princess of the Western Regions or the suzerain of the Yuan family, it is either a nobleman on the rich side or a suzerain who controls the lifeblood of a place, in contrast, his Tiantai army is just a mercenary army, and the benefits it can provide are really limited.
What's more, the other party is still a woman, compared to Lu Shuihu's mercenaries who are running around, it is naturally more appropriate to protect the noble female nobles of the Western Regions.
It's a pity that such a warrior may not be able to make friends, and may not even have a common topic.
He thought about it again, even if he couldn't recruit such a talented person, if such a talented person could make friends, he would have one more way in the future, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and he cheered up and reintroduced himself:
"This hero, the master of the 50,000 Tiantai Army in Xialu Shuihu, my name is Gai Wu, I don't know your honorable surname, can you make friends with one or two?"
Gai Wu performed the etiquette of meeting the distinguished guests with Lu Shuihu and asked sincerely.
He Mulan came to find Chen Jie, who was kidnapped by them, and Gai Wu was here at this time, whether Chen Jie was dead or alive, and it would be known when the time came.
Thinking of this, she showed a smile to him: "You call me the Iron Lady, and I am just a wanderer in the Western Regions. I'm just a guard now."
The two have officially exchanged names, and they can be regarded as acquaintances. Gai Wu invited him to meet at the place where the Lu Shuihu people now lived, and He Mullan pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then went back to ask "Lady Dickie", and then followed Gai Wu
Yuan's Wubi, Xiaofeng Building.
"You said, Gai Wu went to Yanfeilou to find the Iron Lady, and the Iron Lady followed him?" Yuan Fang asked his subordinates with a dissatisfied expression: "Didn't the Iron Lady protect Mrs. Di Ji closely?" When did Gai Wu meet the Iron Lady?"
The subordinates of the Yuan family who were waiting in Yan Fei's building were all eyeliner, although there were guards and attendants of "Mrs. Di Ji" on the roof of the building who could not know any news, but the movement downstairs was still clear, and at this time, seeing that the sect master asked, he hurriedly replied:
"It seems that Gai Wu and the Iron Lady don't know each other, but because they killed the tiger together in the morning, Gai Wu deliberately came over to make friends. The Iron Lady didn't go at first, and she only left after asking Mrs. Di Ji in Yan Fei Tower."
Tsk, their sect master is really stupid, that loyal and powerful female warrior is gone, isn't this the best time to steal incense and jade? Do you need to care about Madame Dickie's safety?
Just use a little excuse to invite the lady out, and then go back and forth, raw rice is cooked and ripe, and you are worried that this snow lotus flower in the Western Regions will not be able to be picked?
"Didn't Gai Wu say that he had caused trouble in Chen County and it was not appropriate to show up? I'm not afraid of it now."
Yuan Fang paced, talking to himself with an angry expression.
"What is he looking for the Iron Maiden? What business do you have to do? Yes, his people also have business in the Western Regions, and the sand thieves in the desert are not vegetarians......"
"No, if it's a business, it's right to find Mrs. Dickie, what can you do if you ask the Iron Lady?"
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he turned around and asked the man again.
"Where did the Iron Lady follow him?"
"Look at the direction ......"
The subordinate had a strange look on his face.
"It seems to be the Windward Pavilion."
"This damn Gai Wu!"
Yuan Fang's face changed drastically, and he seemed to have seen the scene where Iron Lady's favorability towards him swished down.
"Someone! Come with me to Windward Pavilion! ".
For a moment, Hermulan thought he was wearing it again.
Traveled to the Middle East in the Middle Ages, or Europe or something.
When he stepped into the huge courtyard by the lake, He Mulan knew that Tuoba Huang and Di Yefei had guessed correctly again. This group of Lu Shuihu people wanted to hide in the Wu wall of the Yuan family without a trace, and most of them were in the backyard.
From the beginning of entering the lakeside path guarded by the Yuan family's guards, this mysterious place that "gathers all the beauties" in the eyes of outsiders has gradually revealed. From the high-rise building on the other side of the lake to the path on this side, there is only an arch bridge in the middle, and there are people guarding the front and back of the bridge.
It's just that the surface of this lake is clean, and there are no aquatic plants for ornamentation, so it is in vain to think that unless you have been diving and not surfacing the surface, you want to escape.
It's like a cage with a canary.
I don't know what the relationship between this Gai Wu and the head of the Yuan family is, but he let him be generous enough to settle a group of men in the place where his concubine lives.
Or did the fat man not take these concubines seriously at all, so he let the Lu Shuihu people live in without any guilt?
Thinking of this, He Mulan couldn't help but frown.
"We have something to do here, because we caused trouble in Weidi, so we have to borrow to stay in Yuan's house, and we are also guests." Gai Wu seemed to know what she was thinking.
"Most of the orchids here are slaves, and there are orphan girls who have been repeatedly betrayed because of their outstanding beauty, and in any case, in this world, it is a kind of destiny for them to be favored by a rich master and be able to escape this difficult world.
"You.[,!] Do you think this is already a good destination?" Hermulan asked him in a hoarse voice.
"It's terrible for a strange person like you. But for these women, I think so." Gai Wu smiled self-deprecatingly. Don't say it's an orchid, even us men, in order to survive, have to sell ourselves."
Licking blood on the knife edge and working for their employers, they are no better than slave girls who sell their hues. Sometimes even more despised.
They are unscrupulous "miscellaneous beards" for money, they have to sell their dignity and hue in order to live a stable life, and it is so difficult to live well in this world.
So Yuan Fang invited that guy to feast them and asked his men to play with those orchids, but he didn't even want to look at them, it was just some "things hurt" sadness.
However, this female warrior of the Western Regions should live a life of fine clothes and jade food by the side of that lady, and with such a skill, he feels this way, she is afraid that she will not understand it at all.
Sure enough, hearing Gai Wu's answer, He Mulan's expression became strange.
Are Lu Shuihu people so poor?
In addition to selling art, but also selling your body?
He Mulan glanced up and down at Gai Wu's figure, and then thought about Di Yefei's white skin, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
No wonder he was so hungry that he had to grab food, and such a slender and unattractive young man had to do this kind of thing in order to survive, and maybe drag his tired body to fight for his employer the next day......
Having said that, is the folk culture so open now?
Could it be that there are also strange rich women here who offer such "business" for them to do?
"It's not easy for you Lu Shuihu."
He Mullan let out a sigh of emotion.
"People who fight for survival are great warriors."
She didn't feel ashamed of doing so.
They all rely on their own skills to eat.
Uh, though it's a bit weird.
Hearing Hemulan's praise of his own people, Gai Wu's facial expression softened, and his face also showed a slight appearance.
Being able to understand what she means, this Iron Lady is really someone worth befriending.
This mysterious warrior who doesn't seem to be close to him seems to be a good person to get along with, which makes Gai Wu can't help but wonder if he also has the opportunity to get along with Mulan, is it possible to become friends.
It's just that when he thought that his hard work was unceremoniously split in half by Mulan, the flame in his heart seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water, and the cold was clean.
He Mulan followed Gai Wu, whose footsteps seemed to be heavy, into the gate of the Windward Pavilion, and was still muttering in his heart that this leader was really in love, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the orchids sitting or lying in the wide Ming Hall with a lazy demeanor, and suddenly thought of a terrible thing.
Oh my God, Gai Wu and they kidnapped Chen Jie!
He's still a little handsome!
It can't be what she thinks, right?
In the following time, Chen Jie's various "exhausted" appearances after being coerced kept circling in He Mulan's mind, so that the little favor that He Mulan had just had for Gai Wu had a downward trend.
He Mulan followed Gai Wu through the bright hall, to the side of the small building, and after passing through several corridors, he finally arrived at the place where Lu Shuihu lived.
It is a small sunny courtyard, located in the southeast corner of the whole Windward Pavilion, that is, it is separated from the whole house and connected by a verandah. The sun shone down from the top of their heads, spilling down on the entire courtyard, and a group of Lu Shuihu people, with their thick fur clothes open, exposing their bellies and chests, lay lazily in a vertical area, with their hands on their chests and stomachs......
Well?
Tickling?
He Mullan took a closer look at it, and felt that it didn't look like it.
Who scratches and rubs?
Twist?
Twist......
A Lu Shuihu man rubbed a large piece of long strips of things on his body with the sweat from the sun, and sighed with satisfaction while rubbing it.
"It's still comfortable to bask in the sun in the south, and I sweat when I get sun...... Huh, Boss? This...... Isn't this the warrior who fought the tiger?! "
A group of Lu Shuihu people immediately straightened up, looked ahead excitedly, and began to discuss in Xiongnu.
"Which hero fights the tiger?"
"Hey, it's a woman again? What the hell, why are all women so powerful now?"
"It doesn't matter if she's a man or a woman, if she's a hero, she should praise it!"
A Lu Shuihu man threw the black mud-like thing in his hand to the side and walked forward enthusiastically. It's just that the dirt on his chest has only faded by half, and the exposed chest is black and white, and He Mulan's face trembles when he sees it.
"This warrior, please accept our sincere welcome!"
A cheerful smile appeared on the face of the warrior Lu Shuihu, and he reached out to take Hermulan's hands.
"It's great that our leader can bring you here!"
……
"Hello everyone...... Good ......"
He Mulan was caught by Lu Shuihu in shock, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back a few other words.
"…… Good 'Yaxing'! "
