71 sincerely
The moment the truth is revealed, it is always uncomfortable.
Therefore, after having a long talk with Di Yefei, He Mulan half wanted to escape from this embarrassing atmosphere, and half because of the decision that suddenly surged in her heart, so she and Di Yefei hurriedly said hello and left Yanfei Tower.
At this time, the top and bottom of the Yuan family and Wubi had been instructed by Yuan Fang, and they had already treated them as "allies". In addition, even the young master of the Yuan family's Wubi was taken down by this "Iron Lady", and he had the prestige of "fighting tigers", so He Mulan easily went to the place where the Lu Shuihu people lived, and he didn't get any hindrance at all.
Presumably this also has something to do with the fact that she is a woman, and Orchid has always been taken lightly.
When He Mulan entered the familiar courtyard, this group of Lushuihu people still lay in the sun as in the past to "take a dry bath".
What used to be a way of behavior that seemed too dirty in Hermulan's eyes is now less glaring.
Isn't it a quality that makes people feel that these Lu Shuihu people, no matter where they live, even if they don't fit in with their surroundings, still maintain their own stubborn behaviors and thoughts?
Of course, if they could be a little more considerate of other people's feelings, maybe it would make people feel more cute.
Seeing Hemulan's arrival, the people who were on their backs immediately got up and began to tie their clothes. This should have been taught by Gai Wu before, so he still knows how to pay attention to his image when he is in front of Hemulan.
Lu Naluo, who was temporarily leading in this courtyard, came up to greet him: "The Iron Lady is here to find the leader of Gai Wu?" He was invited by the head of the Yuan family to discuss business, and he wanted to ......"
"I'm back."
Gai Wu's voice sounded from behind He Mullan and the others.
He Mulan turned around and saw a smile on the corner of Gai Wu's mouth, obviously very satisfied with the result of the discussion, and couldn't help but feel a little better.
When Gai Wu saw He Mulan coming to him, he was naturally in a better mood.
Gai Wu has not yet talked to his subordinates about the identity of the "Iron Lady", and his subordinates naturally will not spread rumors, and he still has this kind of binding force on his subordinates. But he didn't know if Mulan minded him telling his subordinates about it, so he didn't mention it to them.
Gai Wu showed a rare hearty smile, and opened his mouth in the ghostly expressions of the Lu Shuihu people around him: "I don't know if the 'Iron Lady' is here, do you want to discuss any 'business' with me?
That's a joke.
He Mulan looked at Gai Wu's smile, and then thought about the anger and disappointment he felt when he just learned about Di Yefei and Tuoba Huang's "plan", as well as Di Yefei's joy after he explained it later, and finally restrained his smile, and Zhengse and Gai Wu said:
"Leader Gai Wu, I came here to have a reluctant invitation, I will come...... To be alone."
Gai Wu's heart was raised in his throat.
In their group, the only one who has contact with Mulan is himself.
I heard that the Xianbei woman has a bold style, this Mulan is not ......
How good is that! They Lu Shuihu people have never been in the habit of getting rich!
But he couldn't beat her!
This......
He's going to have to think about it.
He Mulan saw that Gai Wu also put away his smile, and even uneasy appeared on his face, and his heart was even more up.
She wasn't sure if the leader already knew Chen Jie's identity, or if he was simply speculating because of her rudeness in making unreasonable demands when they met.
So she continued:
"Leader Gai Wu, this matter is a long story. I don't know if there's a reliable place for you to listen to my request." She paused, "Please call out Chen Jie."
As soon as Chen Jie's name was spoken, the Lu Shuihu people in the courtyard all showed surprised expressions.
They had robbed him from Chen's prison to save his life. Later, Lu Naro and Bai Ma both felt that he was available, and Gai Wu also felt that he could train the art of military training, and he was a rare talent, so he recruited him at the expense of money.
This kind of treatment made many Lu Shuihu people who followed Gai Wu from the beginning very envious, jealous and hateful, but because Gai Wu had accumulated power for a long time, no one dared to object to anything.
Hearing He Mulan's words, Gai Wu was stunned, but still asked Lu Naluo: "Where is Chen Jie now?"
"It's time to be with Hakuba. Otherwise, it's with the Jouro girl." Lunaro also wondered what Hermulan was looking for him.
"Go get him."
"Yes."
Gai Wu invited Mullan into a room, the utility room where the musical instruments were placed at the beginning.
The courtyard where they lived was originally a place where orchids rehearsed their songs and dances, but they would rehearse here before a big banquet or before the host came to enjoy themselves, hoping to be appreciated by the host and escape the fate of being bought and sold at will.
After Gai Wu and they came here, this place was well soundproofed, and the place where no one came on weekdays became their place of residence, and the utility room was the place where Gai Wu was sure that no one would eavesdrop on it, and there was no secret passage.
The Yuan family's Wubi is too unsafe, the owner of this place is like a mouse who has no sense of security at all, digging holes everywhere, and there are also capable people under Gai Wu, and he found a lot of secret passages in the Windward Pavilion at once, which makes Gai Wu even more unfavorable to the Yuan family.
He Mullan is a guest, and of course he can't be treated like Chen Jie when he enters this utility room. A few large drums were used as stone benches for Hemmoulin to sit down, and the house.[,!] There are also oil lamp torches lit in the child, although it is still so messy, but after all, it can be treated.
He Mulan sat on the ancient leather drum with some novelty, and looked at Gai Wu, who was sitting directly opposite him, with a hint of apology on his face.
Soon, Chen Jie's figure appeared at the door. It could be seen that he was also confused, and the white horse behind him was almost full of question marks.
"Chen Jie, come to me." He Mulan raised his chin slightly at Chen Jie at the door, and then opened his mouth to Gai Wu opposite:
"Leader Gai Wu, the person I want to find you for is this Lieutenant Chen Jiechen, he is my personal soldier in the army in the past."
"General Flower, this is ......"
Chen Jie thought that his general was waiting for an opportunity to save him, but he didn't expect her to come and ask for someone like this!
No matter how bad the people of Lu Shuihu are, there are dozens of people outside!
"'Chen Jie is Mulan's personal soldier', this is something that doesn't need to be hidden from anyone. Even if there are all kinds of inconsistencies in it, it may cause very strict consequences, and it is up to me to bear it. I'll talk about the reparation later, so come here."
He Mulan's tone and demeanor were all familiar to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic, and almost walked towards He Mullan with an expression of impatience.
His general has come to pick him up.
-- In an upright way.
However, he only took one step before his arm was jerked back. He turned his head to look, and the white horse asked him almost through gritted teeth, "What Mulan's personal soldiers?" What Flower General? You're lying to us?"
"What did I lie to you, you didn't ask." Chen Jie frowned and looked at the white horse in embarrassment. After getting along for so many days, he also found that this was just a little arrogant child, and he was not bad in nature, so he didn't say anything nasty." Have you forgotten? You tied me out of prison! "
"It's save!" The white horse stamped his feet and shouted. We pulled you out, or you'd have died!" "
"My general was already thinking of a way at that time, and you brought me to this hellish place!"
"Then you can't lie to us......"
"Chen Jie!"
"White horse!"
Gai Wu coughed, "General Hua, I'm really sorry, my subordinates are too willful. White horse, let go! "
Bai Ma reluctantly let go of his hand, but there was still a weeping expression on his face. He shook off Chen Jie's hand, turned around and walked to the door to get out, but when he got to the door, he probably regretted and was angry, kicked the door edge, and turned around and walked back.
As soon as Chen Jieyi let go of his arm by the white horse, he immediately stood behind Mulan in three or two steps, just as he had done countless times before.
Standing here, he seems to have found a true belonging. It's like a fish that finally struggles to swim back into the water, and a bird that breaks its wings and runs to the sky.
"Where, in fact, there is also our fault in this matter."
He Mulan looked at Chen Jie beside him. Because of my previous holiday with the leader of Gai Wu, Chen Jie did not dare to confide the truth with you, this is my fault, not Chen Jie's. I hope that the leader of Gai Wu will not blame him, please listen to me about this matter one by one."
Hermulan made such a decision, not impulsively, nor was it overflowing with the heart of the Virgin.
She just substituted herself into the state of mind of "Mulan", and finally acted according to her heart.
"Half a month ago, I received news from other friends that my former subordinate Chen Jie in the army was imprisoned because he lost his military rations, and because I didn't believe that my subordinates would steal and sell military rations for personal gain, I left Yingguo Township and came to Chen County......
In his normal low voice, He Mulan began to calmly recount what had happened in Chenjun. At that time, one of my former robes happened to be a guest at my house, and came to Chen County with me to redeem Chen Jie. At this time, the leader of Gai Wu led people to rob the prison and kidnapped my subordinates."
"I guessed from Chen Jie's description that it was you who stole the grain, and then I had a holiday with you, and you went all the way from Liang County to Chen County, so I guessed that you deliberately followed us and wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge. Because I went to see Chen Jie in the prison, I simply kidnapped Chen Jie as a hostage and threatened me ......"
"Who wants to blackmail you! It was Brother Gai Wu who said that this Chen Jie was imprisoned because of us, and he never rolled us over, we owe him the cause, and now we have to repay the retribution, otherwise we will be retributed in the future! You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! "
The white horse retorted hatefully.
He Mullan didn't think it was a pestle, but smiled generously.
"Yes, it is I who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
Seeing that He Mulan was such a "bachelor", Bai Ma didn't know what to say, and his puffed hands glared at Chen Jie, his eyes full of threats.
As for Chen Jie, he looked at his general with an expression of admiration and was stunned, not noticing the white horse at all.
This made the latter even angrier.
"We traced your traces and found that you had entered the Yuan family's Wubi. My friends were trying to find out the truth of Yuan's house, and I needed to sneak in to find Chen Jie's trace, so we disguised ourselves and entered Yuan's house, and also found my old subordinate."
He Mulan arched his fists with both hands and bowed to the unhappy Lunaro and the expressionless Gaiwu.
"I agreed to compete with the leader of Gai Wu, and I also wanted to take advantage of the mechanism to subdue him in exchange for my subordinates, but Yuan Fang disrupted my plan. In the competition, the leader of Gai Wu saw through me. [,! ], but it was not exposed, but it was sincerely invited to solve our doubts, which is to treat me with sincerity."
"The previous conflict between the leader of Gai Wu and me was due to the difference in position, I did not approve of his behavior of threatening the lives of ordinary people, and he did not accept my forcible intervention by force, although it was a battle of life and death, but after all, it was not mixed with personal feelings. But then Chen Jie concealed his identity to protect himself, and I concealed the identity of the 'Iron Lady' and deliberately approached you, although it is excusable, but after all, it is an 'unjust' trip. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will explain the truth."
As soon as He Mulan's words were finished, whether it was Gai Wu, Lunaro, or Bai Ma, several core figures were silent for a moment, and they couldn't say anything.
After a long time, Gai Wu seemed to finally understand the meaning of He Mulan's words, and said, "You could not have come this time. Chen Jie is now a free body, if he has the intention to deceive me, wait for the time to find it, and quietly leave."
Chen Jie's face turned red.
That's what he really thought.
"You treat me with sincerity, and I can't deceive him with sincerity. I will explain the truth and plead guilty, except to take back my subordinate, so that he will not be in a dilemma in the future."
He Mulan smiled Yan Yan.
"You are true warriors, not those who seek fame and fortune for the sake of profit. I know my subordinate, and if you get along with someone like you, he will grow to like you. But because of the feud between me and the leader of Gai Wu, he does not dare to really have a heart to heart with you, lest he struggle even more in the future......"
Chen Jie, who was standing behind He Mulan, was almost crying.
He felt that Hermulan had spoken to his heart.
Since Lu Shuihu no longer controlled his freedom and took care of him with good wine, food and medicine, even if they made him so miserable, he couldn't hate it.
Although this group of people is simple-minded, and even saved him to "return cause and effect", they are all sincere people, and they did not use lies or say anything righteous and awe-inspiring to make him submit.
The white horse is straightforward, Lu Naro is steady, and Gai Wu also has his unique personal charm, even those Lu Shuihu people who are full of flowers and will hold Hu Nu in a hurry, they don't show any bad deeds on weekdays.
For Chen Jie, the better they looked, the heavier his guilt of "I lied to them, I lied to their trust, deceived their intelligence, and then ran away".
"It turns out that the Iron Lady is actually General Hua?" Lunaro whispered to himself, "No wonder the leader has been defeated by a woman again......"
He took a few steps forward, knelt down on one knee, hugged He Mullan with the etiquette of receiving distinguished guests in Lu Shuihu, pasted a veneer, touched his left shoulder, and said loudly: "I don't know if the leader of Gai Wu will forgive you, but I, Lu Naro, admire a hero like you. Even if you're a woman, I accept your apologies."
He Mulan was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was a little inappropriate for him to sit and accept the etiquette of Lu Shuihu, so he stood up again, pulled up Lu Naro, and also put a veneer on him again, touching his left shoulder.
"I'm just a normal guy. But I don't cheat on friends. Are you a friend of me?"
"Naturally!"
Lunaro smiled and nodded.
Gai Wu was naturally a little angry at first. He was so angry that Mulan didn't tell him all the truth when he was at the lake, and only now did he explain it.
But when he thought that he and she were not clear about their enemies, and robbed other people's food, tied up other people's men, and replaced him, of course he had to be cautious.
Now that she has understood his intentions, she will come to the door to apologize, and tell the truth, that is......
Huh, mind?
Gai Wu's heart trembled uncontrollably, and then he saw Lu Naluo and Hua Mulan, who were also his uncles, friends and subordinates, close to each other and touched their shoulders, and suddenly stood up with amazing momentum!
The expression and movements seemed to be about to draw a knife to kill at any time, and Chen Jie was even secretly prepared to give him a beating to relieve his anger if he really didn't succeed......
As a result, Gai Wu maintained such momentum and movements, and also came to Hemulan's side, and hugged her upper body.
He Mullan was stunned for a moment, and then the relief of being understood and forgiven.
She almost couldn't wait to hug him back, and bumped shoulders with him in the way that Lu Shuihu and the Qiang people often had, and smiled at each other.
"What does the leader of Gai Wu mean is that he is willing to turn war into jade silk?"
"Since you're already a friend, please call me Gai Wu."
Chen Jie and the other Lu Shuihu people immediately exhaled, and they all laughed heartily.
"That's great!"
"We're not going to get drunk tonight!"
"The boss said you weren't allowed to drink outside!"
"Such a good thing, how can there be no wine!"
He Mulan couldn't understand the Xiongnu words of the Lu Shuihu people next to her, but she felt the joy and kindness in them. It was this kind and pleasant atmosphere that moved Hermulan to the point of tears.
She is a person who hates deception, and in the same way, the people who get along with her should hate her for deceiving people. Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, this is the reason why she does not hesitate to risk tearing her face to offend Lu Shuihu people today, and she is even unable to get out of the danger of coming to this end.
Fortunately, Chen Jie was fine, fortunately, Lu Shuihu was tolerant, and fortunately he came.
And it is really good that Chen Jie can get rid of the long-term deception and cover-up, so that he does not become a person who forces others to be "unjust".
That's great!.
[,! "Great! General Mulan, since you want Chen Jie back, please settle the expenses he has spent with us for a while......"
Hakuba's somewhat shrill voice suddenly interjected?
Belch?
What?
"He has good wine and food every day, and he also uses our Lu Shuihu's secret medicine, which is very expensive!"
The white horse bites "very expensive" heavily.
"We Lu Shuihu people are not rich!"
