21 Defeated generals
Cui Lin sat nervously in the meditation room, although he was tightly tied, it did not prevent his ears from hearing the sound.
He didn't know what was going on outside, but he knew that Mulan was coming.
Cui Lin came for Mulan, and he was convinced that this woman had the power to change Emperor Wei and change Great Wei, so he quietly came to Yucheng.
And before that, he was confident that he could force Mulan into an atmosphere of urgency step by step.
In his expectation, Hua Mulan will eventually follow him to Beijing obediently for the sake of her family and her own peace.
The funny thing is that in less than half a month, the person who fell into the atmosphere of urgency became him, and the person who obediently waited for others to save him also became him.
Now, he actually hopes that Mulan will come to save him quickly.
Cui Lin shook her head and threw this cowardly and ridiculous thought out of her head.
Could it be that he should be like a woman, wailing and begging "General Hua to save my life"?
What the hell was he thinking!
"Even if you shake your head, the fear doesn't diminish because of it. Gai Wu will not lose, he has been ...... since he was seventeen years old" The black-faced man and a few Lu Shuihu people left by Gai Wu looked proud, and they were about to talk about Gai Wu's achievements......
"Good!"
"General Hua is mighty!"
In just an instant, the cheerful shouts and high-fives of admiration from outside the ruined temple choked them alive.
The faces of the black-faced man and Lu Shuihu suddenly became gloomy.
Anyone could hear the shouts of the Han people, not the Lu Shuihu people.
Cui Lin has been humiliated by this group of people for several days, and now she still has dirty and smelly rags in her mouth, and when she saw their faces at this time, even if she knew that she shouldn't stimulate them, she couldn't help but show a bit of a mocking expression on her face.
He has been locked up for so many days, except for being aggrieved, he is aggrieved, and it is too happy to see this group of people deflated.
The black-faced man was obviously a man with a city government, but his face was gloomy, but a Lu Shuihu man behind him rushed up and punched Cui Lin hard in the face.
Boom!
"What are you laughing at! I actually let women come out all the time! All of you men in Wei are of a bad breed, soft eggs! "
He spat the ground.
Cui Lin's nose was punched, and suddenly his nasal cavity was hot, and a sore feeling forced his tears and snot to roll down with the blood flowing from his nose, what a beautiful man, at this moment, he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
The ridicule came one after another, and Cui Lin's self-esteem was not hit by **. He had never suffered such a thing, and even as a toddler, there were no less than ten servants around him who kept a close eye on his movements.
It's almost a shame to be humiliated like this now.
He tried his best not to let himself wail, but the pain in his nose and the ringing and dizziness in his ears caused by the punch put him in a state of extreme pain. His breathing became difficult, his mind began to drift, and after a while, Cui Lin's throat made a "ho-ho" gasping sound, and the whole person was trembling.
This made the Lu Shuihu man a little nervous.
"Lunaro, what should I do? Am I going to beat this Han man to death?" He didn't expect this Han young man to be so weak!
The black-faced man, Lunara, didn't expect that just one punch would make him fall on his back.
He leaned forward to take a look, and said with a little relief, "It's okay, it's just that the bridge of the nose is broken and concave into a strange shape. It's okay to die, at most the beautiful man will become an ugly man in the future."
The people in the room immediately started laughing excitedly, and a few of them even whistled. This gloating laughter diluted the oppressive atmosphere brought by the cheers outside the broken temple for a while, and Cui Lin's "ho ho" sound also became the best outlet for their love to vent.
Cui Lin writhed on the ground in pain, all kinds of strange sounds came out of his ears, and the loud laughter and whistles in the room became extremely strange under this strange sound.6 He held his breath in the various indistinguishable sounds, holding the last trace of his senses, so as not to let himself faint.
He is the grandson of Cui Hao, and he can't be here to disgrace the Cui family in front of these miscellaneous beards
Outside the Zen room.
"Boss, they punched the head surnamed Cui, and now they're laughing......" A ranger with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks whispered to a shy young man in the back of the house, "Will they accidentally kill the grandson of that big official?"
The young man listened carefully and felt that the situation was not good.
No one could have imagined that this shy man who looked like a scholar was actually the leader of this group of rangers.
"Those Lu Shuihu are abusing this surnamed Cui. There is no time to wait for the opportunity, the fourth and fifth are still locked up in the county office, let's quickly rescue this surnamed Cui and hand it over to You County to order a replacement."
The leader bowed his head and made a few gestures, then pulled a blowgun from his bosom.
Several rangers behind him also took out their blowguns and got ready.
A ranger crawled to the door of the meditation room and knocked on the door, and immediately hid himself by the door and did not move. The Lu Shuihu people in the meditation room asked a few times and found that no one responded, so they walked to the door to listen to the movement, but they did not open the door.
There are several sides of this dilapidated meditation room without window paper, and all the curtains are made of straw mats, but the walls are very strong.
The white-faced young man saw through the crack in the window that Lu Shuihu's attention was drawn to the door, and with a wave of his hand, seven or eight rangers suddenly broke through the window, holding a blow pipe smeared with anesthetic, as thin as a cow's hair. [,! Immediately shot the bearded people in the back and face.
Two or three sturdy rangers ran to Cui Lin's side and quickly lifted him up, then threw him out of the window. A powerful ranger answered outside, carried him on his shoulder, and the group of people quickly ran away.
When the leader of the rangers saw that he had rescued people, he put down a lot of Lu Shuihu people, and immediately turned around and left with people.
"Boss, they're all dizzy, do you want to take the opportunity to ...... them" One of the rangers made a "click" gesture.
"Take advantage of your big head!" The white-faced young man slapped the ranger's head, "Lao Tzu said that the rangers in the Yucheng realm are not allowed to kill, if you want to be clicked off by Lao Tzu, you can do it!" "
The languid ranger with a slender face was slapped with a slap on his head, shook his head vigorously, looked at Lu Shuihu lying on the ground with pity, and withdrew from the house with his companions.
Lu Shuihu is not a good thing, and the big officials in the world are not good things.
If they could, they would love to see them dog-eat-dog.
It's just that the third and fourth are in prison, and their leader insists on rescuing this surnamed Cui, otherwise who wants to provoke such a fishy thing on his body.
This group of rangers has always regarded the Qiuyuan Temple as a stronghold for meetings, although they were deterred by the force of the Lu Shuihu people and gave up the broken temple, but it was also because they did not want to make extraneous branches, not that they were afraid of the Lu Shuihu people.
Some time ago, the third and fourth members of this group of rangers were kidnapped by them, and they got into trouble with the government, and they didn't know when the broken temple was occupied by them, so the leader of the rangers here wanted to teach these Lu Shuihu people a lesson.
They are the head snakes of this place, and they are naturally more familiar with the land than the Lu Shuihu people. There is a gap in the Medicine Buddha Hall of this broken temple, which has been blocked by the rangers with a broken Buddha statue, which has become a passage for them to enter secretly. At this time, they took advantage of this opening to detour into the backyard and "steal" Cui Lin
On the other side, the confrontation between the officers and soldiers of Yucheng and Gai Wu and his party continued.
From the moment Bai Ma said that the Lu Shuihu people expected to slaughter civilians in exchange for the two high monks, they were destined to be unable to be good.
He Mulan hated this act of attacking the civilians, and was thinking about something with a gloomy face at the moment.
You Ke was probably the same over there, he turned sideways, and several generals from Cui Mansion who followed Cui Lin over had a fierce fight with the staff
"Why can't I think what these Lu Shuihu people say is true?! These apes are my people, and I certainly can't gamble with them! You Xian Ling stiffened his neck and the Cui family's staff roared in a low voice, "Cui Lin is my best friend, these people regard me as a parent official, at this time, 'close friends' and 'children' are in danger, what do you say I should do?"
He said almost bare-eyed: "They are still afraid of Lord Cui's power, they don't dare to do anything to Cui Lin, at most they will eat some flesh and pain, but how innocent are the people?" They don't know anything at all! "
"Lord You, we don't mean to ignore the people, but it's just a one-sided remark by Lu Shuihu......" His words were interrupted by the contemptuous look that "Mulan" turned her head to.
Yes, they all know that it won't be a one-sided statement.
These Lu Shuihu people dared to guard the temple for several days in full view of everyone, if it was only because Cui Lin was in their hands, it would be too bold.
It's just that no one knows that Lu Shuihu is not only bold, but also bold to this extent.
Using civilians as bargaining chips, this is a method that Great Wei has never used and dare not use in his battles. Only these Lu Shuihu, who has no country, no monarch, and no discipline to speak of, can do this kind of thing.
Gai Wu watched "Mulan's" face become more and more ugly, and his heart sank. Lu Shuihu is the most important hero, and he didn't have the idea of befriending this "heroine" before.
But since the white horse revealed his thoughts, since Mulan didn't know why he got involved in this troubled water, he and Mulan had no possibility of befriending him at all.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves of "tapping and tapping" reached everyone's ears, and about twenty more horses rushed out of the woods on the side.
I saw a white flag fluttering, Lu Shuihu people are used to using white, and you can know the camp at a glance.
These cavalry appeared from another place, and there was a faint meaning of support, which made You Ke's heart fall like a big stone.
There's more to them than that. These White Flag Knights probably heard that the leader was missing, and deliberately revealed some of their whereabouts to demonstrate to the leader.
For a while, it was originally a scene of hundreds of soldiers surrounding the temple, but I don't know which side has the advantage.
Many of these soldiers lived in the four townships of Yucheng, and when they heard that their families might encounter a mutation, they immediately turned their heads and became restless, and an atmosphere of fear and uneasiness spread rapidly like a plague
He Mulan stood in front of Gai Wu, looking at him holding his ribs and looking helpless, and couldn't help but regret why he didn't shoot heavier just now.
Why do you have to shoot him, half of his life is not successful.
Why did she think that this Gai Wu was a responsible man and was willing to come out to fight?
If he had so many arrangements, he wouldn't need to come out to fight.
"I've heard that the Lushuihu people believe in Buddhism, and I can certainly understand your feelings about wanting to rescue the Buddhist monks, but the monks are compassionate, if they want to know that they have been rescued in this way, will they be willing?" He Mulan stared at Gavu, trying to find guilt in his face. [,! ] traces.
"If Emperor Wei had agreed, no one would have died." Gai Wu shook his head, and the Buddha earrings in his ears shook with his movements, looking so dazzling. It is Emperor Wei who will become a Buddha or a demon, not me. Isn't it ridiculous that he is the emperor of the world to restrain the development of Buddhism beyond the world?"
Gai Wu's tone suddenly flattened.
"He is your emperor, not our Lushuihu. Buddhism also has angry eyes, and I'm just doing extraordinary things at extraordinary times."
"I see......," Hermulan finally had a unique look of anger on her face. You're a bastard. At least the emperor in my memory is an emperor who never sacrificed ordinary people for personal grudges and beliefs."
"So, the rules I'm going to make you follow are ......"
"General Flower!" The Cui family called her name in fear.
"Mulan, do you want to offend Cui Hao, a powerful minister in the court, to save the people, or save the people and sacrifice Cui Lin, you'd better think about it yourself!" The white horse yelled again. If you let the leader have one or two, we Lu Shuihu people will guarantee that the city will be washed in blood! "
Gai Wu had already decided to wait for the rib injury to heal before beating this kid with his own hands.
"The general of the defeated army, how brave is his words!"
He Mulan's eyes fell directly on the white horse's face and opened his mouth coldly.
She stared at him as if she were looking at a dead man, and her face no longer showed that triumphant and somewhat hideous expression.
"Gai Wu, you lost to me, I want you to swear that you and your men will not harm the lives of any ordinary people in your lifetime." He Mullan looked down coldly at Gai Wu, who was still sitting on the ground.
"If you violate this oath, God and Buddha will abandon it."
