Chapter 269: Your Face with Tears

As a modern person, I am afraid it is difficult to understand why Hermulan, who comes from modern times, would bend his knee to Tuobatao.

For modern people who pursue equal individuality and freedom, it is easy to make them say "I really knelt for you", but it is extremely difficult to really kneel.

However, it is difficult for modern people to understand this longing of Hermulan at this time.

In their time, there was peace and happiness, and everyone fought for their ideals or their own future, and it was a time when no one would laugh at the dreams of others.

The society of the Northern and Southern Dynasties was ignorant, most of the people were illiterate, the contradictions between the various ethnic groups were strict, the Han scholars and Xianbei magnates controlled all the ways to rise, and only soldiers among ordinary people could get a place through military merits, but what they could get was limited.

At a time when all emperors were trying to thoroughly implement the system of "human superiority" to maintain their rule, this emperor was naturally dismissive of various classes and identities, believing that "making the best use of things and making the best use of talents" was the system of being the king of a country.

Many, many years later, the lord of the Sui Dynasty, who was the first to introduce the imperial examination system, did the same, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that the imperial examination system was truly implemented, and the gate valve gradually collapsed because of the imperial examination.

Why Tuoba Tao doesn't like Tuoba Huang, why Tuoba Tao thinks that Tuoba Huang can't bring new blood to the country, He Mulan has gradually understood.

Pursuing the Wei and Jin Dynasties' "Nine Products Zhongzheng System", Tuoba Huang, who wanted to follow the path taught by the Han people to carry out Sinicization reform, actually walked into a wrong path.

The path of total sinicization and returning to the past can maintain the rule of the Xianbei and Han people, but it will cause a more long-term regression to this country and this society. What Tuoba Tao wants is not a world where the country is governed by gatekeepers and magnates, but a world where all talented people can govern the country together.

In this world, because of the efforts of all "useful people", the country will develop in a good direction, not one or two "wise men" who decide the future of the country and then push the country forward.

Until then, he needs to have like-minded people like him to calm down the chaotic world before he can implement what he wants.

So he needs Mulan, and he needs a lot of people like Mulan.

It doesn't matter if she's a woman.

She doesn't come from a high background, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if she's a spy of an enemy country.

Knowing that she was willing to follow him, he was willing to tolerate it.

It is precisely because He Mullan understands this ideal of Tuoba Tao that he is sincerely impressed by this ideal.

In the era of Hermulan, freedom and dreams were not earned by themselves, but the blood and tears of countless heroes condensed into what they are today, so everyone who lived in that era and that country was actually squandering the legacy left by the heroes.

In that era, the extreme strength of human beings, the game of the mind, and the fantasies of heroes were mostly just stories in film and television dramas, and the enlightened monarchs, wise courtiers, and soldiers who shed their blood for the country seemed to be far, far away from them.

But in this land of the Central Plains more than 1,000 years ago, in this era when the Hu and Han people were constantly fighting and merging, there was a leader of a foreign race who was working hard for his "Tao".

Tuoba Tao in the previous life did not succeed, until Hua Mulan disarmed and returned to the field, Rouran was still under the command of Wu Ti, and the contradictions between the various ethnic groups still existed, and only Lu Shuihu and Bailonghu rebelled several times.

Tuoba Tao issued several edicts to seek talents, and the children of the Han family joined one after another, but they were suppressed by the Han scholars and could not gain a foothold in the court. In the entire land of the Northern Dynasties, there were more Wu Bi of the Han people and the big and small clans than the Liu and Song dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, which was a forced demonstration.

In his previous life, Tuoba Tao begged Mulan to stay, and he thought that Mulan would be able to understand his thoughts. But Mulan really misses that ordinary life, twelve years of military life has made her wear away all the things she is ambitious about, and she only wants to live an ordinary life.

So Mulan refused, and she returned to her hometown with the heavy reward of Tuoba Tao and the chance to live given by this majesty, where she entered the unknown eternal sleep.

And in this life, the blood is not dead, the ambition is still there, after seeing the pain and struggle of two lives, and after understanding the cruelty and injustice of war, He Mullan can still stare at the young monarch for a long time, bow her noble head, and spit out those words from her mouth.

"Swear your allegiance to the death, Your Majesty."

"Please get up, Mulan. I'm not here for your worship and service, you should stand up and stand with me. Rouran is just a small battlefield, and there are countless tough battles waiting for us to fight for decades."

Tuoba Tao walked forward and pulled up Hermulan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"I'm waiting for you to fight side by side with me, just like my general when the Xia Kingdom was in the country!"

My Majesty.

My general.

He Mullan felt a whimper of emotion welling up in her body, and beyond the barrier of more than fifteen hundred years, her emotions merged with the emperor.

Su Hejun didn't seem to be able to see this sensational scene anymore, and turned his head to cry bitterly. He seemed to see what he had been seeking for a long time in this scene of the gentleman and the courtier, so that the tears of happiness brought by satisfaction and joy flowed irrepressibly.

The room was dim and quiet, but because of their existence, like a light that appeared through the darkness, it would bring infinite hope to this world.

"Yes, . . . [,! 陛xià."

"I want to leave Mulan with painful memories that will never be forgotten", this is what Yan Qi wants to do most at this moment.

He is not a smart person, he only does things according to his own mind, he does what he wants, and he does it without thinking about the past or the future.

He killed Huaishuo's family of three, and secretly took advantage of the night to come to the vicinity of Hua's house, but found that he was still far away from fulfilling his wish.

There were several floors of people standing inside and outside the house of Hua Mulan's house, and the strength of this protection even made the neighbors around Mulan's house feel uneasy, locking the gate and courtyard gate......

In this case, even if Yan Qi wanted to do the same as before, it would be impossible to sneak into an ordinary house to snoop, let alone kill the layers of surrounding, and go to Mulan's house to kill people.

He's just a swordsman, he's a killer, but he's not a god.

"Damn, didn't you say that Mulan was just an ordinary military household, how could the Hua family call on so many people to protect ......" Yan Qi stared at the brightly lit house and slammed the wall in frustration. Could it be that you have already noticed my thoughts?"

He was unwilling to leave like this, so he hid in a remote corner, waiting for the moment when the Hua family had a flaw.

The hard work paid off, and that moment finally came.

A group of men walked out of Mulan's house, and the man at the head was burly, reflecting Mulan's slender body even thinner.

The Hua family seemed to respect this person very much, and sent him respectfully to the door, and Hua Mulan even sent him out of the hospital.

When the man left, the guards who surrounded the courtyard of the Hua family like iron buckets also followed, and Yan Qi realized that these people were not protecting the Hua family, but the burly man.

"Great, finally gone!"

Yan Qi felt that his hands were itching.

"As long as that group of guards is gone, the heads of the Hua family will be in my pocket!"

Until the mighty group of people and horses left the alley, Yan Qi flashed out.

It wasn't until the night was getting dark that he sneaked up along the courtyard wall of the Hua family to the eaves, and took advantage of the night to prepare to break through the roof.

However, he had only uncovered a tile in the hall, and as soon as he looked down, he was stunned.

What's going on with the family?

Why are so many people not sleeping?

He Mulan was talking to Hua Ping, Hua Arc said something, and the oil lamp was lit four times, illuminating the whole room as if it were day. Yan Qi saw that it was the half-blind middle-aged man who had fought with him during the day and Hua Mulan was in the hall in person, and he deduced in his heart that he couldn't kill with one blow, so he had to carefully cover the tile again.

Say yes to kill someone in your dream!

Can you still have a good time?

Let's start with Mulan's mother's house! A sick old woman can't be as brave and invincible as Mulan, right?

It's just that Yan Qiyi uncovered the tiles of the main house and showed a disappointed look again.

Several masters of the Hua family were discussing in the hall, Mangu stayed in the general's mansion to take care of the horses and luggage of the group because he couldn't live, Chen Jie was injured and had difficulty moving, He Mulan took him with him, and was called to the main house by the Yuan family to chat at this time.

It turned out that when He Mulan perfunctory Yuan, he casually said, "No, I will recruit a husband back in the future, there are many singles in the army", and Yuan immediately remembered it. This is the first time He Mulan has brought a man back, and Yuan heard that this personal soldier is the entourage who serves Hua Mulan to eat, drink, and Lazar, and suddenly has a feeling in his heart that his mother-in-law is looking at the future daughter-in-law candidate.

"Young man, do you have any brothers at home?"

Yuan's is just a lung disease and needs to recuperate, and she hasn't reached the point of being bedridden, but the Hua family can't wait for her to lie down for a while, so she obeys everyone's kindness and rests in bed.

At this time, she was asking about some of the situation in Chen Jie's family with a pleasant face.

Chen Jie was sent to chat with the general's mother was already very cramped, and he couldn't kneel because of the injury on his leg, so he could only sit on the edge of her mattress without an image, and nodded uncomfortably.

"Yes, and two younger brothers."

Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly.

It's good to have brothers! It's easy for people with brothers to get rich!

There are other brothers who will inherit the lineage!

"Is the young man married? Do you have a girl you like?"

Yuan looked at him with a smile.

'Lady Flowers asked me why?' Yes, Madame Hua must have listened to my bravery, liked my loyalty, and wanted to be a matchmaker for me! I'll just say, how can no one take a fancy to a talent like me! ’

Chen Jie immediately shook his head happily: "No, I have always been in the army, I have never been married, and I don't have a favorite girl!"

Let the beautiful girl come more violently!

Yuan Shi was even more satisfied, and asked again: "Then can you accept the money?"

"How is this possible!" Chen Jie was shocked and said: "Chen's family style is rigorous, and there is no reason to be rich!" Besides, it's not that the military family can't open the pot, I have the fertile land allocated by the army, how can I eat soft rice! "

I thought it was a good match.

Mrs. Smallpox wants to find an inverted door for the juniors!

That's not going to work!

Seeing Chen Jie's denial, Yuan couldn't help but show a disappointed look, and muttered to himself: "How many men in this world can accept it?" Her idea is good, but it's too hard to find the right person. They told me not to worry about it, not to worry about how to do it......"

"What are you talking about, Madame Flower?"

Chen Jie looked curiously. [,! Yuan's lips twitched.

"I mean, you're a good boy, but unfortunately you don't have a relationship with my family."

Yuan sighed.

"If you know any suitable young man and are willing to join the family, please trouble Mulan in the ward and let her go and see for details."

"Hey, does General Hua have any sisters? Isn't there only one sister who is already married?"

"Clan sister, clan sister."

"Oh." Chen Jie nodded knowingly. Don't worry, Mrs. Hua, it's all wrapped up in me! General Hua's sister must not worry about getting married, I'll help you inquire when I go back! "

Yuan likes such a well-behaved and obedient man, holding Chen Jie's hand and chattering for a long time, while asking He Mulan how long he lived in the camp while wiping his tears, the more Chen Jie boasted about how heroic his generals were, how to cut people's heads like chopping melons and vegetables, the more fierce Yuan's tears fell.

The old and the young were crying and crying, and Yan Qi, who was watching the movement in the house on the roof, lay down until his arms were numb, and he didn't find any signs that the two were going to separate, so he was dumbfounded.

In desperation, Yan Qi had no choice but to climb a few more times, wanting to attack Mulan's younger brother, the nine-year-old child.

It's a pity that he is a famous swordsman in Liu and Song, but in the Wei State, he ended up picking the old and weak women and children to attack, which has greatly reduced his reputation in the past.

Even if it is a ranger, if it is known that he is afraid of the soft and the hard, he obviously has a good swordsmanship but only dares to pick the soft pinch, then no one will be vassalized in the future.

But this Yan Qi was originally a loner, and he didn't pay attention to his reputation, and he didn't distinguish between good and evil in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have become a tool for the powerful to kill people.

It's ridiculous that he himself is confused, and he can't find the north that he is touted, he really thinks that he is a rare murderous genius in the world, and the nobles of Liu Song also believed in the praise of others and entrusted him to do such an important thing.

Poor Liu Yuanjing, even if he can meet a reliable teammate, he will not end up being captured alive, with Yan Qi's ability, it is always okay to protect a person and run away, how can he be so aggressive that he has to entangle a personal soldier?

This time, Hanamutto's room was pitch black.

Listening to the movement again, it seems that there are only sleeping flowers and trees in the room, and no one else.

In such a home, except for the children, they are all awake, and it is generally difficult for the children to wake up when they are asleep, Yan Qi, who was overjoyed in his heart, just shouted "Okay", uncovered the large tiles and was about to jump off the roof, when he heard the sleeping little boy suddenly cry loudly!

The sound of the magic sound piercing the ears resounded throughout the room, and Yan Qi, who was already about to jump down, was so frightened that his feet slipped, and he stepped on a roof tile with a bang, making a lot of movement and falling down!

The Hua family was originally small, Hua Mutuo is a child, the adults in the family have been taking care of it, if it weren't for the Hua Mother being sick, he must have slept with his parents at night, he cried loudly, from Hemulan to Hua Arc Yuan, everyone was startled, and immediately ran towards his room!

"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as he sleeps alone, he always has a nightmare at night, he must have knocked over something, don't ......"

Hua Arc comforted her daughter while walking, but He Mulan's face was solemn, she was still walking fast before, and in the end she ran fast!

Listening to the sound, it is obvious that something is falling from a high place, and it will never be knocked over something!

What can fall from a height? It can't be a cat, right?

He Mulan rushed into his brother's house, only to see a dark shadow suddenly appear in the room, falling to the ground!

The moonlight fell down the big hole in the roof, shining on the debris of the roof and sawdust all over the room, and it was obvious that someone had broken the roof and jumped off.

"Where did the thief come from!"

He Mulan shouted loudly, pulled out the rock from his waist and threw it!

The rock is so heavy that when it is thrown, it spins and flies out like a piece of graphite, and if it is struck by it, it will be seriously injured even if it does not die.

As soon as Yan Qi landed, it was just when the old force had just unloaded the new force before it was born, but he saw the heavy sword slashing towards his waist, and immediately fell to the ground to avoid the attack of the rock, and when the sword flew over his head and then the carp stood up, He Mulan had already rushed to his brother's bed and picked up the flower and wood support.

"Palm Lamp!" He Mulan shouted, Chen Jie, who came from the next room, immediately took out the flint and fire fold from his chest and lit the lamp in the house, and for a while, the house was bright, and Yan Qi, who got up from the ground, grabbed the door and ran in the direction of Yuan's room!

At this time, He Mulan was holding Hua Mu Tuo who was crying in his arms, Hua Arc was just a disabled old man, Hua Ping saw that the situation was not good, and reached out to block it, but saw a cold light suddenly rising, if it wasn't for his fast dodge, his head would have been cut off!

The sword was so fast, although he didn't see the thief's face clearly, he also recognized it from this sword as Yan Qi in the morning!

"He dared to come!"

He Mulan also saw his face, and at this time, he didn't care about Hua Mutuo, so he just threw him into Chen Jie's hand, swept the saber on Chen Jie's waist, and chased Yan Qi straight away.

Poor Yuan was worried about his son's situation in the house, when he saw a man rushing into the house with a fierce look, carrying a long sword and stabbing him in the chest!

She is a woman, where has she seen such a scene, she can only grab the medicine jar next to the bed and smash it on his face.

The man raised his hand and split the medicine jar with a sword, and the black medicine spilled out, Yuan Shi shrank into the corner of the wall in fright, and a few drops of medicine were splashed on his face, and he thought that he was stabbed and bleeding, and screamed in fright!

Yan Qi liked to hear this kind of scream the most, and he was about to raise his hand to stab again, but when he heard the strong wind behind his head, he hurriedly turned around and countered it with his sword. The sword collided, and immediately hit the golden firelight, illuminating the two of them.

"This man has a lot of strength!"

"This man reacts so quickly!"

He Mulan originally thought that Yan Qi's attention was all on Yuan's body, and all the flaws in the back of his head were out, as long as he slashed it, he would immediately succeed, and the danger of the flower mother would be solved, but who expected that this knife would hit the sword that he had backhanded, such a reaction speed, such a tricky way to take the move, this person really has some ability!

At this time, it is not the time to praise others' abilities, knowing that this person is a killer, and he is coming for the Hua family, He Mulan is merciless, and only attacks at the place where he will die. He Mulan hated this person very much in his heart, and knew that he was Liu Songlai's spy, and every knife used a lot of strength, Rao is Yan Qi's weapon was an excellent divine weapon, and after dozens of moves, all the swords and swords were shattered!

It is common for Hermulan to destroy weapons on the battlefield, and when the knife is broken, it is not necessary to throw it away immediately without changing it to a double fist. Poor Yan Qi has encountered many opponents in his life, how could he have such a person who forced him to such an embarrassment with pure brute force? The sword that the swordsman doesn't have, just like the literati have no pen, the beauty has no face, and at the moment, he took a few punches from Mulan, and spit out a mouthful of blood!

He was horrified in his heart, knowing that he would not be able to kill anyone today no matter what, and when he saw a window in the other corner of the room, the window was tightly sealed, and there was a corner door next to it.

He thought that he would not be able to run to the corner door anyway, so he simply jumped into the figure and immediately ran towards the window.

Yan Qi's light body kung fu is not weak, but He Mulan is inferior to him at this point, I saw his figure flickering, leaving only a few afterimages in place, and when He Mulan chased him to the bed, Yan Qi immediately protected his head and slammed into the window regardless of it!

"It's ...... over there"

With a "poof", Yan Qi jumped out of the window and immediately fell into a stinky and sticky place! For a while, there were countless strange animals arching up and down all over his body, and he was about to push one away, only to feel a strong attack from behind, and he was arched by the animal!

It didn't matter to him, countless wet strange things were running around him, and a heavy body stepped on his back, crushing him to his feet, and surrounded him alive by this group of things to the point where there was nothing to be done.

"Coax Coax Coax ......"

"Heckling ......"

They happily arched over him, crushing him under his plump//fat/buttocks, licking everywhere.

"…… There's the pigsty over there......"

Yuan was already frightened, and after being stunned, he suddenly pointed at his daughter and screamed: "Mulan! Go save our pigs! Our pigs will be slaughtered next month! "

What the? Pig?

He Mulan grabbed the window frame that had been knocked open and stretched out his head to take a look, the place leading outside the Huajiajiao door was not a pigsty, where else?

No wonder the window on that side was completely sealed, and if there was a slight gap, the smell would be enough to smoke the people in the room. The flower family is a small place, and the facilities are compact together, and it is common for the pigsty to be built in the backyard.

He Mulan looked at Yan Qi who was "played with" by a group of pigs sympathetically, and could no longer hold back the absurdity in his heart, and laughed out loud.

"Mother, don't worry about your pigs, I see that they are having fun!"
