72 Peach blossoms of the Chen Festival
Chen Jie is used to the white horse's nonsense.
He sometimes feels that this teenager may have limited achievements in the future, because he is too affectionate and too short-sighted. As a young companion, it was a mistake for Lu Shuihu to be so arrogant to him.
Is this the time to say such things?
If it were to be investigated, his general and the leader of Gai Wu should have started counting the carts of grain with their fingers, and how much he had suffered in prison.
Since there is a grudge against each other, this is a trivial matter that should not be mentioned again.
"White horse! If you are reckless, I will send someone to send you back to Xingcheng!" Gai Wu was also annoyed with the little family of his subordinates. He knew that Bai Ma was not ordinary to Chen Jie, and he often came to him to ask for advice on weekdays, and now Chen Jie's identity was poor, and he was also very sorry.
But compared to the many moles around him who will turn against the water at any time, it is the best ending to say it clearly like this.
Bai Ma said this most of the time to regain face, but he didn't get it back, but was scolded by the leader, and Chen Jie still showed such a regretful expression, he frowned and cursed, and stood behind Lu Naluo angrily and stopped talking.
He Mulan watched the incident from beginning to end, she couldn't afford to pay the money, but she knew that once it was really calculated, it would be Gai Wu who was ashamed.
For this matter, Chen Jie took a few steps forward and gave a heavy salute to Gai Wu.
This made Gai Wu take half a step back, staring at Chen Jie in front of him with some surprise.
"Leader Gai Wu, Chen Jie is a subordinate of General Hua for one day, and he is a subordinate of General Hua in this life. But as my general said, she doesn't want me to be accused of betraying my friends, and I don't want my general to have the reputation of 'a former subordinate who escaped from prison after abusing power for personal gain'. So, I'm going back to Xiang County to settle this matter first......"
Chen Jie clenched his fists and stretched out.
"At that time, if the leader of Gai Wu still wants to use me, I will definitely help. It's just that there is one point, I won't do anything that violates Wei law, such as robbing homes and houses, extorting and killing people."
"Huh?" The white horse suddenly stuck his head out from behind Lunaro.
Gai Wu was also slightly surprised, and then delighted.
He originally recruited Chen Jie to train for him, and other than that, he didn't think about letting him do anything unseemly. If there is such a thing, it will not be handed over to such an outsider.
Gai Wu has no shortage of subordinates who can kill people at all, what he lacks is people who can teach his subordinates how to live.
And this Chen Jie is Mulan's personal soldier, with him, will Mulan still be estranged from them?
"Chen Zhuangshi is right?"
Gai Wu was pleasantly surprised.
"Chen Jie, do you want to go to Xingcheng in the future?" Hermulan couldn't understand what he was thinking." If you are worried that you will lose your official position and be fined after returning to Xiangxian County, and you will be unlicensed in the future, I can recommend you to go to the tent of a few of my former colleagues, the general of Zhenxi, Di ......"
"General, I've already thought about it. I did do the wrong thing of smuggling food privately, and even if it was for a reason, it was the result of my own choice. I really don't have the face to continue to be an official, not to mention that I have to ask the general to come forward and look for favors."
Chen Jie said sonorously and powerfully:
"I have hands and feet, and I have the ability, as long as I don't steal or rob, I rely on my own ability to eat, and I won't let the general lose face!"
"Chen Jie said it well!"
"That's it, where can't the eldest husband make contributions!"
"Chen Jie is good, we are waiting for you in Xingcheng!"
He Mulan's expression was a little complicated.
Chen Jie returned to Xiang County with her, and he couldn't run away with at least one whipping. As for the matter of food and grass, she spent money to make up for it, but when he made such a mistake, he was either punished as a petty official with no quality, or he completely lost his official body and became an ordinary military household.
Now it seems that he chose the latter one.
He didn't have an heir, and once the army was drafted into his house, he still had to go back to the battlefield, or else he would have to cause trouble to others. Now he went to Lu Shuihu's place to participate in the "Tiantai Army", if there is no war, it is fine, once there is a war, maybe he will meet on the battlefield in the future.
Have Chen Jie ever thought about these questions?
Or does he have some other kind of self-confidence?
In the end, it was she who caused him. If she hadn't traveled over, had no letters for several months, and no longer had contact with the outside world, maybe Chen Jie would have used Mulan's funding to buy food and winter clothes and other things like before.
"You're thirty years old now. I'm not in the army right now, so I can't take care of you. Whatever you choose, just remember to act in the future and be worthy of it." He Mullan also clenched his fist at Gai Wu. In the future, I will rely more on the leader of Gai Wu to take care of Chen Jie."
Chen Jie saw that his general agreed, and immediately smiled, stood up with the support of Gai Wu, and hugged each other, touching each other's shoulders.
"It's a great joy for all. General Hua, you might as well linger on our side for a while tonight, and I'll go and ask the Yuan family for some good wine and food......"
"I've been out for too long, and it's inevitable that Yuan Fang will be suspicious. Now is the time for the two sides to prepare for cooperation, and I have been in close contact with you, which makes it difficult for you to do it. Wait for the matter here, the leader of Gai Wu doesn't know where my house is, and when your troubles fade, my few huts are ready to welcome your arrival! "
"Hey, you're not a fake ......"
"It's a long story, I'm afraid I'm going to do it in the future. But no matter what, the Iron Lady will disappear from the world after that." Hermulan's eyes darkened. Chen Jie, I'll go first. [,! Take it away, if Yuan Fang asks you, just say that I appreciate the martial arts of this Han people, and take it back as a subordinate."
"Where will Yuan Fang care about me...... "Gai Wu waved his hand indifferently, "Since that's the case, I won't keep it anymore. The mountains are high and the waters are long, you and I will see you again! "
He took out two small white flags from his bosom, on which was written the crimson "Heavenly King" in Chinese characters, and the flagpole was engraved with Sanskrit, one for He Mulan and the other for Chen Jie.
"If the two of you go to Xingcheng and take out this white flag at the Yin Temple, someone will naturally come to greet you." Gai Wu himself felt a little wonderful, and sighed after handing over the flag:
"I thought that from now on I would meet the heroines of Dawei and become enemies, but I didn't expect the world to change, and there was a moment of joy now. Buddhism's cloud 'the world is impermanent, the sound is heard, and there is life and death', I can't imagine that it is so effective."
He Mulan and Chen Jie took a small flag, rolled it up and put it in their arms. He Mulan had seen the benefits and disadvantages of "suppressing the Buddha" today, and couldn't help asking:
"Now that His Majesty has ordered the monks to return to the laity, will the Buddhist temple in Xingcheng not be affected?"
Don't look for Chen Jiezhen and turn it into an empty temple.
"That's your majesty, not our Lu Shuihu." Gai Wu laughed disdainfully. Don't wear monk robes, as long as you have a Buddha in your heart, you are still a monk. This is something that can be stopped by a decree."
He Mullan tugged at the corners of his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
The Lu Shuihu people are so unruly, I am afraid that sooner or later they will cause trouble.
I only hope that Chen Jie can be subtle by his side and leave a little leeway for him to do things, that is good karma.
He Mulan led Chen Jie out of the instrument room, Chen Jie was robbed from prison with nothing on his body, and naturally there was nothing to bring with him at this time, so the two of them walked out step by step.
Hermulan had a keen sense of five senses, and suddenly felt that a sight behind her shot in their direction, and when she quickly looked back, she found that it was a woman with a ruined description looking out from behind the pillar.
Seeing that his general stopped, Chen Jie also turned around and looked over, and when he found out that it was Ruluo Nu, his face couldn't help but blush.
She had taken care of him for a long time, and now that he was leaving, he forgot to say hello to her.
The joy of the general's coming to pick him up overwhelmed him, and how could he not be ashamed of forgetting this new friend?
"General, do you have gold and silver with you? Can you lend me some?" Chen Jie whispered a plea to Mullan.
She was stunned when she heard this, nodded, took out a few gold leaves from her sleeve pocket, and handed them to Chen Jie.
"It doesn't take so much. Alas, it may have caused her some trouble with the gold, but she can't care about that now." Chen Jie muttered to himself for a long time, and only took one leaf." General, I'll come when I go, you wait for me for a moment."
"That's your friend?"
"Hmm. I've been taking care of her here."
Chen Jie's three or two steps passed.
He Mullan raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Isn't it the spring of this old festival? If you are kidnapped, you can also get a "girlfriend".
It's just a pity that he's about to leave.
"Flower ...... Iron Maiden! Gai Wu seemed to struggle for a long time, but still caught up with He Mullan who was about to leave in a few steps. At this time, He Mulan was leaning against the wall and waiting for Chen Jie to come back after saying goodbye to his friends, and when he saw Gai Wu coming again, he quickly straightened up.
"This is my new carving. Please take ......"
Gai Wu was quite embarrassed to give away the wood carving in his hand, as if he did not have the courage to accept the fate of being abandoned again, and he was about to leave as soon as He Mullan took it.
He Mullan happened to have something to ask him for, and hurriedly grabbed his wrist.
"Don't go, Leader Gai Wu, I have something to ask for."
Seeing that Gai Wu was in a hurry to leave, she could only put the wood carving into her arms casually, and said to Gai Wu Zhengse, who was grabbed by the wrist: "My subordinate said that he has been here for many days, thanks to a woman's careful care, dare to ask the leader of Gai Wu if she knows her identity?"
Gai Wu was relieved to see that He Mulan didn't want to return the wood carving, and after hearing the words and thinking for a while, he knew who he was talking about: "That's Yuan Fang's slave girl, the Rouran person who is in charge of chores in this Yingfeng Pavilion, named Ruluo Nu."
He Mulan thought for a while, took a piece of the gold leaf that Chen Jie had returned just now and handed it to Gai Wu: "My identity is in the way, and I am tired of the leader of Gai Wu to come forward and redeem the Ruluo girl, if she has a place to go, please give her the rest of the money and let her leave on her own. If she has nowhere to go, please Xingcheng can take her in, and when Chen goes to Xingcheng after the festival, she will have an acquaintance to take care of her."
"How can you take the gold ...... for this little thing?"
Hey?
Gai Wu was stunned.
With just a turn of his mind, he took the gold leaf and carefully put it into his arms.
"It's just a small thing, and I'll do it. It's just that we are likely to have to leave Weidi, at most a few months, at least a month before we can return, if she really has nowhere to go, I can only find a place to settle this Ruluo girl first, and then take her back to Xingcheng when we return."
"But by the arrangement of the leader of Gai Wu."
Gai Wu nodded and hurried away.
'What do you do in such a hurry, I won't eat people.'
He Mulan touched his chin.
Could this Lu Shuihu leader be a carving enthusiast?
Specializing in carving cursed dolls or something?
Belch......
It can't be that it's actually a talisman doll, but because of the brutalist style of the minority, it makes her look like a voodoo doll, right?
If that's the case, then it's a bit of a thing. [,! ] Slap in the face.
He Mulan curiously took out the wood carving given by Gai Wugang from his arms, but as soon as he took it out, he was shocked and pinched off the head of one of them.
After looking left and right and finding that no one noticed, He Mulan continued to put the broken head and the remaining part into his arms, and there was filial piety.
Yes, it was one of them that was pinched.
The wood carving depicts two people, the two figures are intertwined, the thin long-haired woman is pressed underneath, and the male sculpture on "her" is tightly locked in her arms in a lewd and sensual posture.
When He Mullan carved out the wood, his thumb was against the head of the portrait on it, so there was a tragic incident of "separation of body and head".
Isn't this Gai Wu too unreliable?
After the Fauvist voodoo doll whose face is not clear, how can you send this kind of Spring Palace doll again!
Could it be that this is how the Lu Shuihu people express their enthusiasm? Give someone a "masterpiece of art" that you are proud of, no matter what the subject is?
The thoughts of these literary and artistic young people really spanned 1,500 years and she couldn't figure it out.
"Are you leaving?" Ru Luo Nu looked at Chen Jie with some frustration.
"Also, you are a guest of my master and always have to go. But how did you follow that female warrior? Didn't you follow Lord Gai Wu?"
"I'll go and join them later. But before that, I have to do something." Chen Jiexiao's beard trembled, "As for the female warrior......"
Chen Jie turned his head to look at He Mulan, who was taking something from Gai Wu's hand.
"That's who I admire."
"Huh? You mean?" Juro Nu looked hard a few times.
……
Is this what Chen Jie admires?
That one...... It's really different.
When the face is painted like that, I can't see whether the face is beautiful or not.
She's really special.
"Today...... Are you leaving today?"
"yes. Why, do you want me to stay until the spring blooms?"
Chen Jie laughed.
The people of Rouran have the story of leaving handsome guests in winter and waiting for spring to go again.
In this story, it is usually the daughter of the host family who falls in love with the handsome guest who has to hide from the wind and snow in the tent, and then when the wind and snow calm down and the spring flowers bloom in the following spring, the guest leaves the tent of the Rouran people, and also takes away the heart of the daughter's family. This is a widely circulated story, Xianbei people and Rouran people have the same roots, Chen Jie has been in Montenegro for so many years, and naturally knows this story.
He didn't know why the devil had made such a joke.
Ruro's cheeks flushed and she shook her head.
"I don't have the skills to do that."
Even if the daughter of the tribal lord is not just letting others take her heart?
Since then, there has been no guest here who treats her as an ordinary person.
"…… I wish you peace, joy and carefree in the future."
The Ruluo woman crossed her arms, bowed down, and bowed to Chen Jie.
Now it's time for Chen Jie to blush. He picked up the girl and stuffed the gold leaf in his hand to her.
"This ...... It's not a reward, it's a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for reminding me that Leader Gai Wu and Hua Mulan have a grudge, and thank you for taking care of me for so long and giving me a boil." Chen Jie looked at the Ruluo girl who was stunned holding the gold leaf. If you can, redeem yourself with it. You're different from the other girls here, you don't belong here."
Jouro began to sniffle and clutch the leaf tightly.
"This is the first time someone has given me a gift......
"Well, that's right, just think of it as a simple gift." Chen Jie touched his head and muttered in a low voice. Ah, it's so easy to deliver? I thought it would take a long time to send wine to the third uncle."
"All in all, you must have a good ......"
His words suddenly stopped.
Because the lips of the Joura Maiden were suddenly imprinted on his cheeks.
The girl who stood on her tiptoes immediately stepped back at the touch of her feet, and bowed down again, this time bending her waist even harder.
"I'm not going to use it up. It's the only thing in the world that really belongs to me, and I'll take good care of it. Redemption doesn't mean anything to me, I only speak humble words, and there is nowhere to go, this is already my home. If I get out, I don't even know how I'm going to survive."
Chen Jie was at a loss.
'Did my beard get into her mouth?' Oh, she knew she was going to shave the knife, she didn't even know what I looked like, did she?"
'What did she kiss me for?' Do you have a crush on me?'
Oh my God, I'm not going to make it clear that I didn't mean that, but she didn't seem to mean that, she just thanked her in this way. Could it be that everyone in the Windward Pavilion is thankful like this?'
"I hope there's still a chance to see you, my traveler."
There was a stirring in his head, and he nodded stupidly, mechanically accepting the blessing of the Jolo girl, and watching her run away with tears in her eyes.
Not?
What my traveler?
Did he hear something terrible?
Chen Jie ended his farewell to Ru Luonu, and when he thought of "my traveler", he couldn't help but stand on end, and the whole person trembled
[,! ]
Oh, my God!
He screamed in his heart.
Shouldn't he have made that joke?
"Ahh
He was struggling when he was suddenly slapped by a white horse coming out from behind him.
"I said, can you kid not be haunted all the time? It's easy to get into trouble. If you are a vigilant master, you may be dead by this time! "
Chen Jie and Bai Ma spoke too many times in this tone, so they didn't switch for a while.
"Do you like that soft girl?" The white horse squinted at Chen Jie. You don't want so many orchids, like such a ......"
"White horse!"
Chen Jie frowned unhappily and scolded.
"I'm the one who is annoying, you know." Bai Ma raised his face and smiled a little flatteringly, "I know you definitely don't like that soft girl, you just want to return her favor, right?"
"Her name is Ru Luo Nu, not Rouran Nu. I am really grateful that she has always taken care of me, so I said goodbye to her."
"Goodbye to the face? Doesn't she dislike you for having a big beard and never washing it?"
Hakuba rolled his eyes.
"That's our private business." Chen Jie touched the white horse's head. You're still young. Leave this grown-up business along."
Maybe it was this sentence that stirred the white horse's nerves and made him jump all at once.
"Who said I was small! I'm not small at all! Isn't it just that the Jolo girl likes you? I like you too! "
"Uh...... What's that...... Uh, I like you a lot, too. You're kind of like that little cousin in my house......"
Chen Jie blinked.
"I'm not talking about liking. You said that you would go back to Xingcheng, I will wait for you in Xingcheng, next time you can't treat me as a child again! "
The white horse held his hands behind his back and raised his head to warn him sternly.
"…… I don't have a habit of breaking my sleeves." Chen Jie's face was strange, "Although I am Chinese New Year's Eve years old and still an old bachelor, I don't like men......"
"What a man!" The white horse also leaned in and kissed Chen Jie's face, and let out a loud noise. Although you are old and hypocritical, your character is still passable, and you know a lot, so I will continue to like you! "
The white horse looked at Chen Jie, who had fallen into complete chaos, and grinned with a hint of slyness:
"Do you think that only your general will disguise herself as a man!"
