Chapter 179: A Glimpse of the Conspiracy
"I heard that Hua Mulan had a hot fight with a little eunuch in the Great Xia Palace, and even the guards around His Majesty sent him to Mulan......"
An eagle knight and his fire companion muttered, "Mulan, such a manly person, can she also break her sleeves?"
"If you want to do it, don't you look for a eunuch, isn't Di Yefei, who used to be in the same fire, a good look?"
"Isn't it rumored that Di Yefei is a woman disguised as a man to join the army for her father, maybe it's really a woman?"
"How can there be a woman in the army......"
Peanut, who had listened to the waiting, quietly walked around from behind the tent, holding a pot of clothes from Mullan, shaking his head and laughing.
He doesn't know about others, but his master can't break his sleeves.
'Even if he breaks his sleeve, he won't look for a eunuch.'
Peanut secretly rejoices in knowing his master's secret.
He didn't have that! ’
Peanut doesn't know why others keep associating his master with a man named Di Yefei, some people say that Di Yefei is a woman, but he doesn't believe that there are women in this world who will not be exposed in the barracks.
He hadn't seen a eunuch before, but the woman, oh no, was a slave girl, and he had seen too much. The woman's chest is bulging, especially drumming! How can you not be found to be a woman when you drum up like that?
So Peanut was very soberly aware that all the discussions about his master in the camp were fake.
What has a relationship with a eunuch and what has a relationship with a woman......
It's all a lie!
"Peanut, are you frowning and smiling weirdly?" He Mulan, who was practicing archery on the school ground, looked at the young man who came back with a bucket of arrows, and his face showed a surprised look.
In her impression, Peanut is a child who is moody and has few expressions.
"I didn't ...... Nothing." Peanut bowed and offered the quiver in his hand.
Even though He Mullan had told him many times that there was no need to bend down to deliver something, Peanut seemed to have carved this action into his bones and could not correct it at all.
After a long time, Hermulan followed him.
The news that Di Yefei came back finally took Cui Hao and the Black Mountain Battalion doing their own thing as a way to deal with it, as for who the Black Mountain Camp was going to send to meet Helian Ding, and how to go, this was something that He Mulan could not decide and participate in.
What she has to prepare now is the big competition of the three armies.
He Mullan didn't need to participate in the test of the previous day at all, she was the first in the right army, and she only needed to participate in the three games on the last day. In the same way, the first big match between the Chinese army and the left army was also directly participated in the last three games.
Therefore, when other ordinary soldiers in the army tested foot archery, mounted archery, arm strength and horse combat on the school field, He Mullan took time to practice her foot archery.
The three-army competition is different from her competition in the right army, even in the right army, Hemulan's archery skills are not necessarily much better than Di Yefei, Di Yefei's "Lianzhu arrow" is a family heirloom, and Hermulan can only show her hand is the strength and distance of her archery.
But these are not advantageous in the competition.
Foot shooting is nothing more than shooting moving targets, shooting fixed targets, and shooting multiple targets. He Mullan can do the first two items, but when it comes to multiple goals, it becomes her shortcoming.
What Mulan used to take was the path of "great strength and heavy strength" and "one-hit killing". In her previous life, when she was in the big competition of the three armies, she had already become a general under General Wang, so she did not participate in this one.
But now she not only has to participate, but also must be at the top, otherwise she will disappoint many people, and she herself has no face to leave the Eagle Yang Army and run back.
This put a lot of pressure on Hemmulan and he could only keep strengthening his footwork.
Don't worry about riding and shooting, because riding and shooting is a test of distance, which is Hermulan's forte.
"Master, a few people have just passed over the wooden fence, and it seems that they have been ...... behind" Peanut probed with his afterglow, whispering to Hemulan.
"I know, it was like this a few days ago, probably my comrades who are also going to participate in the competition, come and see how deep I am......" He Mulan withdrew his bow indifferently, "Speaking of which, it's really been peaceful lately."
"Spring is here, and the worms are going to start preparing for the mating of cattle, sheep and horses." Peanuts were once slaves to the creeping and are naturally familiar with these as well.
"Even when the Khan ordered it, few of the young men of the tribe were willing to go south at this time. In the summer, the water and grass are abundant, and it is the time for the newborn lambs and calves to grow. If you miss spring, you won't have a harvest in winter, and you'll have to fight hard the next year. Even if it's a worm, not all of them like to fight."
He Mullan nodded knowingly.
"I see. No wonder ......"
It's no wonder that when Mulan followed the right army to conquer Rouran, it was late spring, because in the summer, the Rouran people were grazing everywhere, a group in the east and a group in the west, and each part was scattered on the grassland, and they couldn't organize resistance at all, and they could only watch being broken by each one.
Having said that, it was just right for Di Yefei to go to Rouran at this time, and when he came back in April, His Majesty's army was about to be pulled out, and he just happened to make meritorious contributions.
After Hermulan finished shooting the last arrow, he and Peanut retrieved the arrow, and the two of them carried the quiver back to the sub-tent. Along the way, I met a lot of Chinese soldiers who were also practicing martial arts, and they greeted each other politely.
As he passed near a tent, He Mullan was stunned.
She seems to have seen an acquaintance.
"Master?" Peanut looked up strangely when he saw that He Mullan suddenly did not leave.
"You send these things back to the sub-account [,!] He Mulan took his bow from his body, dropped his quiver, and ran in the direction of the other.
Why is this person here?
Is there also this person in this time?
So will she be able to get the answer for her?
"Master? Where are you going?"
"You go back first!"
He Mullan looked around in the tent of the Chinese army in the direction of his memory, and often just saw the corner of his robe or the crown of his hair, and the other party had already disappeared.
After following four or five tents in a row, He Mullan finally saw the shadow of the other party, and his figure flashed by, entered a tent, and never came out again.
Although He Mullan joined the Eagle Army, he rarely went out of his account and wandered around in peacetime. She is the general's personal guard, and most of them are on standby in the main or secondary tent except for rest time.
When she found that she had entered the tent area that she had never seen before, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked, but when she thought of the importance of the other party, He Mullan gritted her teeth, opened the tent door, and cautiously entered the tent.
There is no one to guard it, and this must not be the residence of some dignitary.
But being entertained in the Chinese military tent is certainly not a nobody.
As soon as He Mulan entered the tent, he was stunned.
She wasn't stunned by the people inside, but she saw someone enter the tent, but there was no one inside.
Not only is there no one, but it's also full of things, and it looks like a place to put miscellaneous items.
She was in a daze when there was a sudden sound of broken footsteps at the door. He Mullan didn't know what to think, so he found a place to pile up wooden blocks in a tent full of miscellaneous items, dodged into it, and hugged him together.
After a while, another sound of tents came in, and there were about two or three people.
When the men entered the tent, one of them seemed to have taken out something and gave it to others: "This is very hard to find, and there is only so much left. You can rub it on the edge of the knife, you can wipe it on the arrow, but you must remember one thing, and you can only do it when you are sure to do it."
"There are so many people around him to protect him, I heard that he even brought a mysterious Taoist priest......" A rough voice sounded. And this time, Dabi heard that there are a lot of rookies, the right army's Na Luo Hun, his kung fu is really not weak, the newcomer of the Chinese army, Li Qing, is the best man in the Li clan in Longxi, and I am not his opponent at all......"
"I don't care what method you use, I'm going to win anyway. Although Cui Hao came for the matter of Gao Che, it is impossible for him not to show up for this kind of grand event. I can't do anything about the high car, it's full of people sent by Li Senjun, and I only think about it when I am rewarding."
"Remember, you can only do it when you are sure, otherwise you would rather not do it. It's not easy for the general to train a few of you, so try not to take risks if you can."
These people said "um", and discussed for a while what happened recently, He Mulan left Montenegro for more than a month, and he didn't know what happened, listening to their statement, it seemed that the spies on the left side had been implicated in two or three because of the camp Xiao incident, and they could no longer be used.
And the spies of the right army have not come up until now, and it is obvious that they cannot be used at the moment, so they can only continue to observe and support. These people have been in the Chinese army for a long time, and they have not dared to attract attention too much, just to be able to play a role at this time.
He Mulan felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and the other party kept saying "The general cultivates you", and he said Xianbei words, then it must be Xianbei people, if it is a creeping spy, just use Rouran words directly.
And the other party has obviously laid a big net in the army, not only the Chinese army, but also the right army and the left army have a lot of spies, it seems that they are in regular contact, so they keep communicating about what has happened recently.
What shocked her the most was that the person in charge had a faint plot against Na Luo Hun and Li Qing, so that his people could get close to Cui Hao.
In a place like the barracks, if you really want to plot against a person, you will make a trick when you go to the toilet or eat, and you will really let others die without knowing it.
This is not an assassination of a high-ranking and powerful person like Kumoti, even if Luo Hun is a centurion, it is not a big deal, the centurions in the army, hundreds or thousands.
"It's a pity that he didn't come, so the general had to let us make a move on Cui Hao. Your family members have already made proper arrangements, so don't worry about it."
The leader seemed to pat them on the shoulder.
"Don't come here until it's done, lest anyone notice."
"Yes!"
He Mulan didn't know if the place where he was hiding was facing them or his back to them, so he didn't dare to come forward.
When they all came to nothing, they stretched out half their heads in a covert way, but they still didn't dare to come out.
Isn't there that kind of plot in TV dramas? Obviously there is no one, deliberately saying "you come out, I see you", or going out in the plot place, deliberately not leaving, just waiting for someone to notice them, so as to catch turtles in an urn.
He Mulan didn't dare to guarantee whether the other party was a good investigator and counter-reconnaissance, so he could only continue to nest in the tent for a full two quarters of an hour, only then he heard a sound of Suo Suo coming from the door.
Sure enough, there are guards!
She was right not to go out rashly!
After this experience, He Mulan went around many circles in the tent of the Chinese army as soon as he got out of the tent, first went to the tent of several tiger heads, talked about a bunch of things about a number of people, and then went to Dugu Wei's tent to comfort the other party's arm, until it was confirmed that no one was following behind, and then returned to the sub-tent, still in shock.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Peanuts scared. [,! Jumped, hurried up.
"Mulan, why do you look like you've hit a ghost!"
Lu Chi rested in the deputy tent, he was on night duty last night, and when he saw that He Mullan began to be in a daze as soon as he entered the tent, he was also a little worried.
He knew that before the big competition every year, there would always be some people who would encounter provocations or plots by others, but he didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to cause trouble with Mulan.
First, there are few people who know that Mulan is also going to participate in the big competition, and many people think that he is "promoted" in the Eagle Yang Army, and there is no reason to participate in this kind of ordinary pawn promotion competition. Second, he even got the appreciation of His Majesty, and then participated in the three armies to participate in the big competition, which means "self-surrender".
He Mulan was naturally apprehensive in her heart, in addition to bumping into the secret conversations of these inexplicable people, what was even more terrifying was that the person who led her to listen was not someone else, but a Taoist priest!
A Taoist priest with a tall stature and no white hair!
At this time, the Taoist priest in Montenegro, the villain said, "There are some mysterious Taoist priests around Cui Hao", who else is not Kou Qianzhi?
Is the other party also returning to the present, or is he just a person from the past in this timeline like Tuoba Tao and others?
If it was a person from the past, why would she find a place for conspiracy and secret talk in the army, and disappear after she chased it?
This timing is a bit too coincidental.
Hermulan thought frantically in her heart, she was not good at intrigue and intrigues, and now she was even more distended when she thought about it. Lu Chi asked her worriedly, but she could only pull out a wry smile and couldn't answer anything.
Now in addition to knowing that there are villains who want to attack Cui Hao at the time of the big competition, and only Na Luohun and a person named Li Qing can be trusted in the big competition of the three armies, everyone else may be an assassin who approached Cui Hao in order to win a good ranking.
The person who wants to kill Cui Hao should be a general, he can leave pawns in the left, right and middle armies, and he is probably a very capable or powerful person.
What did she, a little guard, do to stop this?
Do you want to kill the last remaining opponent in the competition? That's too!
"Mulan, if there is anything important, let's report it to the general." Lu Chi has almost blind confidence in his own general. He knew that there should be something difficult for He Mulan to talk about, and he didn't have any curiosity, he just showed her a clear way.
When He Mulan listened to Lu Chi's words, his brain suddenly stopped hurting.
That's right, it's not yourself who is going to be assassinated!
She has a headache, just leave it to the professional!
He Mullan stood up and hurried to the main tent.
Regardless of why he heard about these people plotting, Kumoti could be trusted.
He is a later general, and he is also the pillar of the country with twelve turns of military achievements, and he is deeply used by Tuoba Tao, although she doesn't understand why someone wants to kill Cui Hao, but Cui Hao wants to do something in the Montenegrin camp, and the Montenegrin camp will definitely be in turmoil.
He won't sit idly by.
Master Ledger.
"You specifically asked me to hold my back and tell me this?"
Kumoti rests his cheek with one hand and leans back on the table.
"You don't have any evidence, how do you want others to trust you?"
"Humble duty is heard by chance, and if the general does not believe it, there is nothing he can do about it."
That's what Hermulan meant when he came here. She discovered a possible conspiracy, Kumoti was her boss, and she had done her duty by telling him what she had discovered.
She is soft-spoken, this kind of thing originally didn't play a role, and if she didn't report it to the top, she could do a limited amount.
"You're talking lightly. According to you, I heard about it in a miscellaneous tent in the Chinese army. You go to the shooting range to practice archery, and what are you going to do over there?"
Kumoti watched her every move carefully.
"If Mulan was sent by His Majesty to monitor the three armies, I am afraid that she would have already had clues to find the ghost hidden in the secret so quickly."
It's just that I must not be the person who Mulan answered in the army, Su Hejun returned to Pingcheng, Mulan should report this matter to the person who answered, why did you find me? Is it a temptation? Think I'm the general?'
Kumoti seems to be leisurely, but in fact, he has no less thoughts in his heart than Mulan, and the worry of being questioned by Mulan has always existed, but after all, he has been from the palace for so many years, and this is always there in the city, while carefully testing Mulan's words, while deducing the ins and outs of this matter.
"I saw an acquaintance and followed the acquaintance all the way, but by mistake, I heard what those people were discussing." He Mulan knew that his words were untenable at all, and secretly hated Kou Qian in his heart for being deceitful and embarrassed her.
He is now the celebrity next to Cui Hao, and if he sues Cui Hao about this, wouldn't anyone have to worry? Why did she come to Kumoti?
"What acquaintance will run around in the Chinese military tent?"
Kumoti straightened up. Mulan, I know you have a lot of secrets, but at least you have to tell me more about it when you ask me for help, right?"
When He Mullan heard the sentence "I know you have many secrets", his face turned red with a bang.
She didn't know what he meant by "secret".
At first, she thought Kumoti knew her identity as a woman, but then they didn't seem to be like each other. She is a person who has traveled back, sometimes she is not quite the same as others, and those who know that she is careful can see it, but she has never done anything unrighteous, and she is not afraid of others. [,! Inquiry.
But Kumoti is different. The general had been helping her from the beginning, he had saved her from hard labor in the miscellaneous labor camp, he had given her weapons and armor, he had given her military slaves, he had given her respect, and even when he attacked Tongwan, he had told her to take care of Tuoba Tao more than himself, which was almost equivalent to giving her credit and letting her hug Tuoba Tao's thighs.
You know, in the eyes of others, she is Kumoti's personal soldier!
If he saw something that made him so caring and considerate, He Mullan could still mistake it for the general who had a good impression of him, or that he wanted to woo her.
But he obviously didn't recruit her, and let her go to the big competition, so good for no reason, it can only show that the other party is a magnanimous person and pays attention to the dà game, so it will be like this.
Na Mullan is so sure that Kumoti is "good" and "trustworthy", and sometimes it is inevitable that there is some unkindness of "just use it up".
Thinking of this, He Mulan thought about it for a while, and found that in addition to the fact that this personal guard was not derelict in his duty in "protecting the main general", there was really no tenth of what other personal guards had done, although it was only temporarily under his tent, and it was really insincere to perfunctory the other party in this way.
So Hermulan bowed his head and answered him earnestly:
"You can't say it, and you can't believe it."
Kumoti sighed.
He knew that Mulan's identity was strange, but he didn't expect the other party to say it so bluntly and simply.
His words are almost equivalent to "you don't have the qualifications to know yet".
"What the lowly has encountered today is really accidental, but the lowly does not know who to trust or who to ask for help. To be honest, the humble position didn't care about Cui Hao's life and death, but that person seemed to want to attack His Majesty Xià in his words, but His Majesty didn't come, so he changed it to Cui Taichang. If these people are not removed, when His Majesty comes to Montenegro, there will definitely be a second and third ......."
"I really don't want to see this happen, and I don't want the Montenegrin battalion to be dragged into the water by these people, so I reported this matter to the general so thoughtlessly."
'So, is it for the sake of His Majesty's safety?' is worthy of being a henchman by His Majesty's side.'
Kumoti thought for a moment and nodded.
"I see, I'll figure this out." Kumoti said, "The enemy is dark and I am clear, the only thing I can believe now is your right army's fire companion Na Luo Hun and Li Qing of the Chinese army, then Luo Hun you go and contact him, let him be careful, but don't let him startle the snake, pay attention to food."
"Although Li Qing is just an ordinary centurion, he is taking his generals and personal soldiers to the battlefield, and the military tent is full of family members, and the other party should have no chance to start. This is in the Chinese army, I will send someone to protect him in secret, if someone attacks, I will definitely be able to catch him."
After listening to Kumoti's arrangement, He Mulan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mulan, if we want Cui Taichang to be foolproof, in addition to telling him what happened today, we also have to think of ways to lure the snake out of the hole."
Kumoti said that he wanted to bring these people to the surface, but in a tone of nonchalance.
"Since you care so much about this, you should be the one who lures the snake out of the hole."
"Huh?"
He Mullan was stunned.
"It's just that Na Luohun, who was defeated by you in the big competition, and Li Qing, a Han man who only joined the army in the last half a year, can make these people so jealous, which shows that the martial arts of their subordinates are not particularly outstanding." Kumoti scoffed.
"If the news is released at this time, Hua Mulan, my personal soldier next to General Yingyang, will also play, and he will go straight to the triple crown championship, what will happen to those people?"
Not many people know that He Mulan is also going to participate in the big competition, because she can directly participate in the last game, so she doesn't need to test her strength and martial arts in the big school field every day like everyone else, so it is naturally difficult to attract attention.
But what if she participated in the big competition in such a high-profile manner?
She'll be a thorn in the side of those bad guys.
He Mullan glanced at Kumoti, who seemed to be laughing at her, "You dare to meddle in this matter but you dare not take this responsibility".
He Mullan was not a person who could stand by and watch, so he ......
She solemnly clenched her fists and saluted.
"It is incumbent upon me to do my duty."
Even for the sake of Na Rahun, she won't run away.
