Chapter 374: Running away from home
75_75600Li Shun was also unlucky today, he thought that He Mulan was good at speaking, so he went to discuss with her to borrow a thousand people to go to the mountains to look for the frustrated herd Qian, but she was mercilessly slapped in the face.
"Fuqu Muqian is not a three-year-old child, and I am not a child's father, he wants to go east and west, and he has his own majesty and his father to discipline him. He made his own decisions, and he took the consequences, and I almost lost 500 men and horses in order to frustrate the herdsman, and he should not come to me to talk about it whether he was dead or alive. ”
There was an unapproachable strictness in Hermulan's face, as if he was suppressing something, and as if he couldn't wait to release something.
"But ......"
"Li Yuanjun, please keep in mind that you are an official of Great Wei, not from Beiliang!" He Mulan's voice was low and somewhat frightening.
"And I, who are only loyal to His Majesty, not the prince of Beiliang!"
Perhaps it was because He Mulan's warning eyes were too terrifying, Li Shun scolded "bad luck" in his heart, and could only shake his head helplessly.
"If you don't look for it, you won't look for it, but your scouts haven't come back, so you have to go and investigate, right? And the 1,000 Lu Shuihu people you brought, they always make trouble, and they say that the food is not good, and they say that the sleeping place is too small, and you have to take care of it......"
"Don't worry about Li Yuanjun, Ben will solve it by himself."
He Mullan nodded slightly.
"Li makes the nobles busy, but it's more important to be busy with serious things."
"You! Mulan, are you driving me away? Li Shun's eyes widened in shock. You're just a deputy envoy, you have to listen to me for a while, do you want to commit the following crimes?! ”
"Oh, Li Yuanjun, what you said is a bit excessive, it's all for the sake of the Great Wei ......" Yuan Poqiang, who was hurriedly invited by Chen Jie, was shocked when he saw such a tense atmosphere in the general's tent, and immediately stepped forward to do peace.
"General Hua has been busy with the affairs of the Lu Shuihu people since yesterday, and the rest is not very good, Li Yuanjun, you are also more considerate and considerate of us, there are only more than 20 envoys and civil officials you bring, and we are leading an army of 5,000, can it be the same? You're going to get busy first......"
As he spoke, he quietly pushed Li Shun out.
Li Shun has sent envoys to Beiliang many times, and his experience in the matter of envoys is indeed unparalleled, so whether it is the previous envoys of He Mulan or Beiliang, they are very obedient to him, even if Fuqu Muqian is so delayed, Li Shun asked everyone to tolerate them and endured them.
But the Tiger Ben Army obeyed Hemulan's orders.
If the Tiger Benjun doesn't understand, just relying on these dozens of people to go to Beiliang is not enough for the horse thieves to swallow in one bite.
Not to mention that they were courting a team, including gold, silver, jewelry, and precious silk cloth.
Li Shun didn't want to have a direct conflict with He Mulan, but Li Shun was a round older than He Mulan, and he was an important minister in the court, and He Mulan respected him very much before, so that he couldn't help but have the idea of controlling He Mulan, and at this time, He Mulan suddenly stopped giving him face, and he suddenly became angry.
But after being annoyed and ashamed, Li Shun is also a person who can bend and stretch, he knows that it is no good to tear his face with He Mulan, so he can only brush his sleeves away again.
Speaking of which, this chief envoy is really pitiful, and when he met He Mulan, the skill of "brushing his sleeves away" was almost full.
"General Hua, I know that you are dissatisfied with Fuqu Muqian's rash actions in your heart, Fuqu Mengxun is seriously ill, we were already on the way, Li Yuanjun is indeed unkind to make such a request, but what he said is right, he is the mastermind after all, if something goes wrong, he will be responsible, you don't have to force yourself so much."
Yuan Poqiang could only shake his head when he saw that He Mulan still looked cold.
"There are also Lu Shuihu people outside, who are very strange when they are on the road today. What about the kids around you? Why are there no shadows of one or two, it can't be that something happened, right? ”
After Yuan Poqiang finished speaking, he looked at He Mulan's expression without a trace.
It's a pity that He Mulan didn't even raise his eyelids, but just pulled his legs out of the tent directly, leaving Yuan Poqiang alone in the tent, causing him to be at a loss.
What did he say wrong?
Or is it right?
***
He Mullan stepped out of his tent and let out a slow breath into the sky.
The ancient world had nothing, including pollution. The grass is green, the air is full of earth, but at night, there are no computers, no novels, and if you don't even have friends, it's boring enough to drive people crazy.
A night at Muller is never boring.
Chen Jie will babble on and on a lot of trivial things during the day; Gai Wu was learning to write from her, so the evening was the time for the master and apprentice; Yuan Fang has to report the day's consumption and the next supply every day; Other officials of Honglu Temple and military generals from places along the road will also come to visit from time to time.
But she now feels lonely and lonely.
Because of the misunderstanding that day, Yuan Fang and Gai Wu have not untied their hearts until now, even if Gai Wu later told her that Yuan Fang had explained clearly to him and was willing to apologize and increase the commission, but Gai Wu was still a little embarrassed about Yuan Fang and himself, and Lu Shuihu and the people had become very wrong these days.
Chen Jie and Zheng Zong were frightened by her that day, and each thought that it was each other's bad that caused her to be angry, so that the two of them were now facing Mai Mang, and Zheng Zong scolded him in the eight Chinese dialect that Chen Jie did not understand, and Chen Jie raised his hand to beat this person to death as soon as he was angry.
He Mulan himself didn't understand how it took only a few days to work, and Chen Jie became the one who thought "I'm going to kill Zheng Zong" all day long.
Mangu is a "adult" who is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, pretending to be confused, and still pretending to know nothing every day, while Luo Hun is entangled in all kinds of things, and has to be busy with many trivial matters of the Tiger Ben Army, and he almost can't notice the strangeness between them.
He Mulan is very similar to talking to Gai Wu, but Gai Wu seems to be avoiding her, not only can he not find him during the day, but he also always stays with the old troops of the Tiantai Army at night.
She was under too much pressure and didn't have that much time to play peek-a-boo with Gai Wu.
"Looks like the donor seems to have some kind of knot?"
Cixin looked at the pale Hemulan and smiled slightly.
"It's rare to see a donor so confused."
Compassion is a monk, and she is not very strong, so most of the time she travels in a cart that transports goods.
He Mulan had an awkward knot in his heart for compassion, because in the afterlife, He Mullan had touched his ashes with his own hands and saved his apprentices, but he had never come into contact with him.
Among so many people, only compassion is "only by name, not by person", He Mullan did not know what kind of character he was, nor did he know what had happened to him, so he could only treat him a little warmer than ordinary people.
As for how to gossip and talk about each other, that's no.
"Has the master ever had such a question......
He Mulan looked at the rain that continued to fall from the sky.
"I don't know if what I'm doing is right, I don't know what kind of impact I've had on others, I don't know what I'm like in the eyes of others, and I'm afraid to know the answer."
Compassion listened to Hermulan's question with a smile, but did not speak.
"Am I real? Is what I'm doing meaningless? I'm the only one in heaven and on earth who thinks so, so is someone else wrong, or am I ......wrong?"
He Mulan's eyes became more and more confused.
"I've always thought I was different, but now I don't think it's worth it."
She has done so much for others, how could she ever think about herself?
But all things had changed, and almost all the tragedies had been resolved in a happy way, but she was still unhappy.
Before the crossing, she was unhappy because she didn't know where her future would be, and the past was shackling her.
And now, all the qiē was created by herself, and she also knew where her future would be, but she began to be bound by the future.
What about "me"?
Where is "I"?
"I'm not a Zen monk." Cixin smiled and shook his head, "I can't answer the donor's question." ”
"yes, maybe even the Buddha can't answer my question."
Hemmulan smiled bitterly.
"General Hua, have you ever gone out for a walk by yourself?" Cixin suddenly spoke, "The poor monk has three apprentices, and because they often come out to travel, they often bring the big ones with the small ones, and the small ones with the smaller ones. The eldest one often doesn't understand why he wants to raise disciples for me, and always leaves the small temple in my mountains when he can't stand it. ”
He folded his hands together and continued to He Mulan, who was a little stunned: "If you don't hide it from the donor, even the poor monk himself, every day in front of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha will also give birth to a sleepy heart, unable to meditate and comprehend. At this time, the poor monks will also go out to 'look for opportunities', regardless of the disciples in the monastery. ”
Hearing this, He Mullan finally squeezed out a smile.
"A few of the master's disciples are indeed upward and downward."
"I actually want them to go out and not sit in the temple." "Sometimes people are trapped by themselves, and the Buddha Gate should not be just a building built for the purpose of worshipping Buddha statues, and there is no other purpose than to fulfill the wishes of believers. ”
"Master's Dharma is profound."
He Mullan nodded.
Faith, for thousands of years, is indeed intangible and more important than tangible.
"So, would General Hua be willing to leave your 'temple' for a few days and go to rest and rest?" Compassion pointed to the heavens. "You see, it's going to rain heavily these days, and you can't march in the rain, and even God is thinking about giving you relaxation."
"Master, I don't understand what you mean. I don't have any faith, I don't believe in ......."
"Where in the world are there such people! Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or the world, they all have something to believe in. ”
Compassion smiled.
"In Buddhism, it is the Buddha; In Daomen, it is Laojun; In Confucianism, it is benevolence and righteousness; In generals, that's the ...... of faith"
"In my opinion, the Buddha, Laojun, benevolence, faith, they are the same thing."
Compassion stretched out his hand and stroked He Mulan, who lowered his body to ask for advice, revealing the top of his head.
"Come out for a walk with me."
***
He Mulan really ran away without caring about anything, leaving only a message of "my heart is very messy, I want to go out for a walk".
The only people who left with her were the war horse named Da Hong and the Master of Compassion.
Na Luo Hun was almost frightened and inexplicably holding the letter, and hurriedly called all the people around Hemulan, so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
In their impression, Mulan has always been powerful, self-reliant, and omnipotent.
Depressed? Disturbed? Hesitate? Suffering?
Sorry, but what is that? Do they have a general?
It seems that the name "Mulan" itself stands for "invincible", in every sense. She wrapped herself in a kind of armor called "Strong" and charged into battle, so unstoppable that everyone could only see her back.
But now, even this back is gone.
"It's all you, it's got to be you, bastard!" Chen Jie grabbed Zheng Zong's collar, "The general has become very strange since you came!" You did that disgusting thing, and the general didn't even drive you away! Tell me, what kind of Gu did you give the general! ”
"You're ridiculous, aren't you? Aren't you General Hua's personal guard? When General Hua left, he didn't take a big monk with you, so it can be seen that you are nothing. ”
Zheng Zong smiled suspiciously.
"I'm just doing a laundry and you're so nervous, I think you're the one thinking about disgusting things, right?"
It must be like this!
was loved by a soldier who had a habit of breaking his sleeves, and he couldn't completely tear his face and has been suppressed so far, and finally he couldn't stand it and left!
Definitely!
Chen Jie couldn't help but turn pale when he heard Zheng Zong's accusation.
"What disgusting! Lao Tzu is admiration! Admire! It's the same as you bastard who buries your head in the general's clothes and sniffs! ”
"What?"
"Don't make any noise!"
Yuan Fang covered his head and shook his head desperately: "It's over, it's over, Hua Mulan is gone, will Your Majesty throw me back into the prison?" Where is he such a wayward person, something must have happened. What the hell is going on? Not enough money? The Lushuihu people use too much grain and grass? I said I would deal with the money thing, why would he leave? ”
"You think about money and money all day long." Gai Wu gritted his teeth and scolded: "Before you came, my master never cared about money. No, he didn't care about anything at all. What kind of money, fame, fame and fortune, he just goes with the flow, that is, after you come, you use money to talk about everything, and you worry about everyone who the master can support or not all day long! If we can't feed us, don't we have hands and feet? ”
"You have hands and feet, but you can mix up to the point of being a gunman for others!" Yuan Fang's brain was on fire, and he sneered: "You are just waiting for the price to sell, it is because you yourself are greedy for the reward that your majesty may have in the future that you agree to my price, even if I looked down on you in my heart before, but later I apologized." The lord said, 'The literati rely on their brains, and the warriors sell their lives' has woken me up, and I was just about to discuss with him about raising commissions when you came in, what can I do? Do I scold myself for being a pig? ”
"What the hell happened to you?"
Na Luo Hun looked at this and then at that in a mess.
"You did something obscene to upset the general......"
Na Luo Hun pointed at Zheng Zong.
"You talk about trivial things all day long......"
He pointed at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie blushed and lowered his head.
"You know and pretend you don't know, because you're going to have to leave sooner or later."
Na Luo Hun's finger moved to the mangu.
"Lao Tzu was going to leave, Lao Tzu is almost forty years old, and he can't fight with you guys for the rest of his life! General Hua promised me that after Beiliang came back, he would ask me for a reward to return to my hometown and marry a wife! ”
Brute glare.
"You are the general's disciple, but you don't want to solve problems for the general, and when the same clan comes, you will throw the general aside, as if you treat us as outsiders."
Na Luo Hun looked sideways at Gai Wu.
Because he is the same generation as Mulan, Gai Wu is equal to his son and nephew, so he looked at Gai Wu with the most dissatisfied eyes.
"The fire chief is the most worried about you, the Lu Shuihu people in Xingcheng can divide the fields, you can listen to the heavens, which one is not the general's one-handed promotion? Now that the entire Lu Shuihu people have been cheapened, do you think the general is sorry for you? ”
"I ......"
Gai Wu bit his lip, tears in his eyes filled with remorse.
"And I ......"
Na Luo Hun smiled bitterly.
"Yu Private, I am the fire companion who has fought together on the battlefield of the fire chief, Yu Private, I am the left guard who guards the safety of the general, but I haven't even noticed that the general has been in a bad mood for the past few days, I am the biggest dereliction of duty......"
He wiped his face in pain.
"It's useless to say that these are all things now, the general is the backbone of the Tiger Ben Army, and they must not be allowed to find out that he is missing, otherwise there will be countless incidents. Now ......"
Narahun looked up and glanced at the people in the tent.
"Now we are comrades in arms, and we must work together to hide this matter first."
"What about the general!" The more Chen Jie thought about it, the more he felt bad, "The general didn't say anything, even the guards at the gate of the camp said that they didn't see the general, but the Master of Compassion was gone, why is the Master of Compassion gone?" ”
He speculated with some concern.
"Did the Master of Compassion say something? Is there some magic in Buddhism that suddenly ignited the general and made him a monk? ”
Oh no, it's supposed to be a monk!
, whatever it says!
"If he is completely disappointed in us, and is moved by the Master of Compassion......"
"The fire chief is not us, he is distracted, and he will definitely come back."
Na Luo Hun showed a relieved expression.
"I've never been worried about that."
