After He Mulan caught Liu Yuanjing, she caught Yan Qi again, she should have been happy, but she was not happy at all.

She was struck by the man's viciousness and cruelty.

The decay of the Wei and Jin dynasties and the turmoil a hundred years ago caused the turmoil of the whole society, so that all kinds of evils that would not have existed in the world before were quietly derived.

For example, this swordsman who takes pleasure in killing people and thinks that killing people is the same ability.

He Mulan had also known a group of rangers who had survived in Liang County before, whether it was the bolt pillar and others who repeatedly attacked her property but were frightened, or Gao Jinlong, who was righteous and led them to sell smuggled salt for the survival of his subordinates, they can be regarded as a bright and upright man.

But this person called them "Hu Dog Hu Dog" repeatedly, and the words were often full of foul language that killed her all over the door, so that He Mullan couldn't help but slap him a few times, and hit him all over the ground looking for teeth.

For this kind of bastard with three wrong views, she really doesn't even want to beat him!

If she can maintain the respect she deserves from an enemy like Ghost Fang, then this person really doesn't even deserve to look at it.

Because he was afraid that he would run out and hurt people again, He Mulan broke his hands, tied him up with ropes, and asked Hua Ping to press him to the general's mansion and hand him over to Su Hejun.

He is Liu Yuanjing's accomplice, if the answer can't be found in Liu Yuanjing, it should be found in him.

"He still won't say anything?" Tuoba Tao stayed overnight in the General's Mansion in Huaishuo City, heavily guarded, but not because he was in trouble to go back, but because Liu Yuanjing tried to bite his tongue and kill himself as soon as he woke up, Tuoba Tao was worried that he would find a short sight on the road.

For such determined dead soldiers, if they want to find out some secrets in them, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.

"We went through what they were carrying, and there was nothing important that would reveal who they were. The shopkeeper of the inn has been recruited, they are all Song people, just doing business here, occasionally collecting some information on the deployment of troops and sending it back, and they don't do any big moves on weekdays. This person has just received an order."

Su Hejun's face was solemn.

"The news came from Pingcheng, and their nest should be in Pingcheng."

Pingcheng is the capital of Wei, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if Tuoba Tao is fighting outside all the year round, there is still a large army in the stable, and the order is in order, but now the shopkeeper of Huaishuo said that every order they receive is from Pingcheng, how can they not be surprised?

"No matter what, the news must be interrogated from this white-clothed scribe." Tuoba Tao hated him for fanning the flames around the Rouran people, and he already knew that Rouran's several attempts to capture him alive were the work of this person, and he also had an impression of his boldness and ambition.

Once this kind of person really gives him the power and takes the path of conspiracy, it is called disgusting and difficult.

"Your Majesty, as soon as he woke up, he shouted that General Huwei Hua Mulan was a woman, and many of the tortured egret officials heard it, it was really ......"

Su Hejun said with some embarrassment: "I think he is strong-willed, but the egret officials all say that he seems to have lost his mind, no matter how he tortures him, he asks questions in a loud voice, that's it."

"Let him scream, I have my own way to deal with Mulan. When I go back, I will send someone to the military mansion to change the military sticker of the Hua family, and add the eldest son Hua Mulan."

Tuoba Tao said disapprenously: "If you are not worried that Mulan will not be able to convince the public, even if she is a woman, it is okay to let her lead the army. When I was out of the house, the tiger talisman in the capital was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the command of the troops relied on prestige and the ability to lead the troops, and I insisted on using it, even if they knew the truth, they could only admit it."

What's more, Mulan really doesn't look like a man.

He wasn't surprised, he just wanted to see the moment when their eyes fell......

"陛xià! General Hua's family sent an assassin, saying that it was handed over to Lord Suhe." A guard came into the house to report and brought news from the Hua family.

"What? Assassin?"

Tuoba Tao was stunned, and turned to look at Su Hejun.

It is not good to expose Tuoba Tao's identity to the outside world, saying that it was handed over to Su Hejun, but in fact, it was handed over to Tuoba Tao. Tuoba Tao gestured to Su Hejun with his eyes, and the latter immediately went out to see what was going on.

After a while, Su Hejun came back and shouted with great joy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't worry about that Song person, General Hua sent him the same fire!"

"Great!".

Early the next morning, Tuoba Tao issued a royal order, and Mulan wanted to drive with him and return to Pingcheng together.

He Mulan originally wanted to go to Pingcheng alone, and on the way, he could learn about the current situation of Dawei, but as a result, He Mulan wanted to go with Tuoba Tao, even if she didn't want to, she could only follow the order.

The Hua family finally looked forward to their daughter's return, but when they encountered this kind of assassination, they were really uneasy, but fortunately, Tuoba Tao also sent a few egret officials and guards of the Hua family, one was to protect the Hua family, and the other was that He Mulan and Tuoba Tao revealed that the Hua family wanted to move to Liang County, Tuoba Tao thought that moving could prevent Hua Mulan from being spied on in the future, so he promised to send someone to deal with the matter.

With Emperor Wei personally inquiring into this matter, it is more than enough whether He Mulan wants to protect his family or hide his identity.

Early in the morning, He Mulan packed up and prepared to go to the General's Mansion to meet Tuoba Tao, Yuan and Hua Arc reluctantly bid farewell to their daughter, Yuan took her hand and kept saying: "You are also old now, you can't put it off, and you will determine the things of your life as soon as possible, ah?"

He Mulan was nagged by Yuan's heart. [,！ Void, while nodding in response, while telling some careful physical care and the like, and then said goodbye to Hua Ping and Hua Arc, and then embarked on the journey.

When the group came to the General's Mansion, they didn't see the guard of honor who came to greet the holy driver, but they only saw that Tuoba Tao, who was a light car, was already waiting at the door, waiting for He Mulan to arrive and set off.

Du ...... Du Envoy Jun ......" He Mulan glanced left and right, and said in shock: "You are ...... again"

A group of guards immediately showed a complaining expression of "yes, you guessed it right, he had another convulsion".

"Mulan, you're finally here."

Tuoba Tao touched his ears weakly, as if he had felt the roar of Gu Bi and other ministers.

"Su Hejun still wants to stay here to deal with the two spies you sent yesterday, I haven't inspected the border for many years, and I have ordered the army to return to Beijing slowly, we will walk around, and then catch up with the army."

"But Your Majesty...... Security ......"

He Mulan looked around, and saw that the outside of the general's mansion was still clean, so he lowered his voice and said: "If you meet someone who is wrong on the road......

"Everywhere I go, there will be secret guards to protect me, not to mention that the egret officials are all transferred with me, I walk on my own territory, what is there to worry about."

Tuoba Tao pursed his lips, this is not the first time he has done this, and everyone else is used to it.

After several times of hard persuasion to no avail, He Mulan had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and followed Tuoba Tao, who had a leg injury, towards the city gate.

Eight guards followed Tuoba Tao, plus He Mulan and Chen Jie, a total of ten people, and a number of wolf heads were also among them. As soon as Chen Jieyi knew that he was going to follow the emperor, his legs and stomach trembled, and he got on the horse and flipped several times without turning over, which caused Tuoba Tao to quip: "You are a personal soldier, but you don't have your guts at all......

He was talking about how she was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of her emperor when she was by Kumoti's side in the past.

'That's because I know you're a generous man, but he doesn't.'

He Mulan scolded in his heart, and explained to his younger brother with a straight face: "That's because the king is too majestic."

Everyone loves to hear good words, Tuoba Tao smiled after listening to He Mulan's explanation, and while driving the imperial horse, he leaned over to chat with her: "The assassin you sent yesterday has caused a lot of trouble."

"Huh? Wasn't it recruited by the scribes before?"

The white-clothed scribe is relatively weak, but the assassin is extremely angry, if it is torture, it should be a fierce and vicious person who knows martial arts to carry it for a longer time, and the weak scholar will immediately recruit him.

"You don't understand, like the scribes you arrested before, the most important thing is integrity, for them, if you torture them and persecute them to death, that is their glory, and the good name is 'killing and benevolence'.

Tuoba Tao has the ambition of unification, and he knows all over the world, and he doesn't know how many spies and spies from various countries there are every day, and he has become accustomed to it, and he has lost sight of this kind of thing.

"On the contrary, those who are vicious and have no persistence, no matter how strong they look, as long as they come up with the means to deal with it, they will do everything." Tuoba Tao snorted coldly: "Don't you know, the assassin named Yan Qi you sent, in order to hide his whereabouts, killed a family near the inn, and the family of three all died tragically, not even the children were spared. I just let Su Hejun beat him a few times, and he did everything, as if he was afraid that I would use more terrible means against him."

"He actually killed civilians indiscriminately? I thought he was trying to save the previous scribes from my family......"

He Mulan scolded angrily: "Could it be that this group of swordsmen are all such virtues?!"

What about the chivalrous spirit of legend?

Is it to attack the old and weak, women and children?!

"What a swordsman, but a group of self-proclaimed forbidden people. He was ordered by Liu Yikang, the king of Pengcheng of Liu Song, to come to meet this scribe named Liu Yuanjing, and the place he went to was also strange, it was actually Yuan's Wubi of Chen County."

When He Mulan heard "Yuan Jiawu Bi", he couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.

Yuan Fang's ghost beast's smile suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Fortunately, Tuoba Tao concentrated on riding the horse, and did not notice Hemulan's expression, but continued:

"What I'm more curious about is that Liu Yikang's subordinates are also full of talents, why only let such a crappy swordsman come to pick up Liu Yuanjing."

Tuoba Tao left Huaishuo, but the horse speed did not speed up, and continued to say to He Mulan unhurriedly: "I suspect that Liu Song has changed, Liu Yikang can no longer send manpower, or dare not send manpower."

"Pengcheng Wang ......"

Hua Mulan never fought with Liu Song when she was fighting in the army, although Liu Song had been trying to make a northward appearance on the northern border several times, but that was a move to contain Wei, and later, whether it was Pingyan or Pingliang, Liu Song did not really send troops to the north, so that He Mulan did not know much about the affairs of the Southern Dynasty.

But even if she doesn't know much, she knows that this Pengcheng King Liu Yikang is a great character. He was the fourth son of Liu Yu, the founder of the Liu Song Dynasty, and the current Emperor Song is the third son. He served as the king of Pengcheng during Liu Yu's reign, and this year he received the position of servant, and the old minister Wang Hong jointly assisted the government, named Shizhong, in fact, he was already the prime minister.

When He Mulan first came, she heard a rumor in the south in Chenjun that the emperor of Liu Song was not compatible, and the prime minister Liu Yikang was deposed from the throne and relegated to Jiangzhou to do the assassination.

The two of them disagree and can still save their lives as a stabbing history, Liu Yilong to this younger brother. [,！ It can also be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

"If it's the king of Pengcheng, it's really unexpected."

"You're not in the court, you don't know."

Tuoba Tao intended to cultivate He Mulan, and he had been wary of Liu Song for many years, so he told her the situation in detail.

"Emperor Song has been frail and sick since childhood, although he is virtuous and can recuperate all the year round, when he is sick, Liu Yikang and Wang Hong are mostly assisted in the court. Emperor Song's old minister Wang Hong, who left behind the founding of the country, is very old, and he has been sick more often than Liu Yilong, and he has not gone to court early, so he is nominally a co-adjudicator, but Liu Yikang has actually been an assistant for three years. He is indeed a talented person, with his prestige and ability, it is okay for Liu Yilong to be the emperor himself if the palace is abolished, hehe, isn't this how Liu Yilong's throne came about......"

Tuoba Tao talked about the rise and fall of things, but it was like discussing common things.

"It's a pity that this Liu Yikang is stuck in what kind of monarch and minister, the elders are respected, and he is doing the emperor's things conscientiously, but he does not take advantage of the emperor's righteousness, and has already laid a curse for himself......"

"I'll just say, with Liu Yilong's cautious temperament, how to do the amazing act of wanting to capture me alive to control the Great Wei, even the matter of uniting the countries and sending envoys in these four places will not be Liu Yilong's style. Although this Emperor Song is not a loyal and benevolent person, he would not do such a clear alliance to dismantle the stage behind his back, but now that he looks at it, it is really the handiwork of the king of Pengcheng. Liu Yikang's heat is a little worse than Liu Yilong."

Tuoba Tao smiled.

"As long as I know the people behind the scenes, it will be easy to do, even if Liu Yilong trusts Liu Yikang again, it is already a taboo for him to send envoys around to make friends with the monarch of other countries, Liu Yikang does not dare to send his own people, but he only dares to find this kind of lame swordsman to answer Liu Yuanjing is proof. After I investigate the situation clearly, I will find a group of messengers to send this Liu Yuanjing to Emperor Song, I don't think the two of them will have a deep brotherhood! "

As soon as these words came out, He Mullan was stunned as if he had never seen this majesty.

Tuoba Tao felt something, turned his head, and saw that He Mulan opened his mouth as if he saw a cow flying in the sky, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, do you think that I love to fight, so I only like to use war to solve problems?" You're a ...... Hahahaha......"

He laughed three times at the sky, and said with a smile: "My treasury is not as rich as Liu Yilong's, and I don't want to fight unnecessary battles. The land of the Southern Dynasty is fertile, but I never thought of fighting Liu Song......"

Tuoba Tao shook his head.

"The South can't take it. In the past hundred years, no matter how many expeditions, the north has always overturned in an instant, only the south, which seems to be weak and can't help the wind, but it will never give in even if it fights to the end. Jiangnan was once out of smoke for a thousand miles, and the prosperity of the three Wu people also withered, but in just a few decades, the Han people regained their vitality, and although the population was less than one-fifth of our Great Wei, it had a stronger national strength than our Wei State."

"The Han people have the backbone and backbone of the Han people, and they do not decide the victory or defeat by whether they can fight well or whether they are burly or not. It's enough for me to have the vast land of the north, and now so many people are enough for me to have a headache. Maybe my descendants can conquer him, but I only need the Central Plains."

For the first time, the emperor showed a confused expression.

"You know, I've always felt that the Han people are very scary, and there is a terrifying power. I'm afraid that if we really fight in the south, our Xianbei clan will no longer exist, just like Fu Jian back then."

The battle of Weishui left a deep fear for all the Hu tribes.

If there was no fiasco in the Battle of Weishui, the former Qin would not be destroyed, Fu Jian would not die, and there would be no chaos and independence of the later Sixteen Kingdoms, there should be only one powerful country in the north today, which is the former Qin.

Nowadays, the Di and Qian tribes have been almost wiped out by the Han people, Murong Xianbei also exists in name only, although Tuoba Xianbei is strong, but because of the low productivity has an inevitable lack of succession, can only improve the national strength through the guò war.

With a population of only 5 million, Liu Song not only maintained internal unity, but also developed rapidly at a terrifying rate.

He Mulan didn't know how the later history developed, but he only knew that the Northern and Southern Dynasties had been established for a long time, until the Sui Dynasty was unified, so the Song State should be able to support it for a long time.

Hearing that Tuoba Tao did not take the initiative to start a war with the Song State, He Mulan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
