19 unlucky Cui Lin
The so-called temple is not so much a Buddhist temple as a broken temple. Although Yucheng is a county with less than 10,000 households, there are many temples, but most of them are because of Tuoba Tao's "retreat from monks and return to the world", the monks have run clean, and the decline is very great.
This prayer temple was originally in a remote place, the incense was not vigorous, and so on the "retreat order" of the history of the state thorn, several monks ran away, and the Buddha who was not prosperous suddenly became a deserted temple, and became a place where rangers, beggars, and all kinds of homeless people hid their nests.
And now, this place is occupied by a group of Lu Shuihu, and the former idlers of the temple are also running clean, just like the previous owner of this temple.
In the dilapidated meditation room in the backyard is a rich and noble man, who seems to have no good wine and good food, but he has not been abused as imagined.
Cui Lin has thought of many ways to escape in the past few days, but the result has been vetoed by herself.
These people obviously came for him, and after tying him up, they immediately retreated here very neatly, and while delivering letters to the Cui clan in Pingcheng and the county government here, they were waiting for someone here.
All he cares about is what they're waiting for.
There were not many Lu Shuihu people who robbed him on the outskirts of Yucheng, only about fifty people. But more than fifty of them were cavalrymen, and his generals immediately had the upper hand over them. What's more, if they succeeded in robbing him, he would leave, and the two-legged ones couldn't catch up with the four-legged ones, and they couldn't reach them.
He was obviously lightly dressed and arrived in Yucheng in disguise, but he was still caught by these people, obviously they had been staring at him since Pingcheng. has a mental calculation or not, he planted it this time.
"It's useless for you to arrest me, my grandfather's personality is known to the whole Great Wei. If you force me to do so, at most he will let me commit suicide and martyrdom, and he will never exchange Shayuanka and Tan Yuan for me."
Cui Lin spoke fluently to the young leader of the group, and he knew that this leader with long curly hair and long braids would speak Xianbei language, and so did several of his companions next to him.
Gai Wu cut the wood carving with a knife without saying a word, these days, he has personally guarded Cui Lin, except for going to the toilet, he never leaves him half a step.
There are officers and soldiers outside the temple and the Lu Shuihu people in the temple to confront each other, but Yucheng can mobilize only a few hundred county soldiers, so they can only be surrounded. This Gai Wu is not impatient at all, and the one who is faintly impatient becomes Cui Lin.
"I've never seen you so desperate for death. If you're useless, we'll kill you." A teenager beside Gai Wu said cruelly, "Do you want to gouge out your heart or dig out your brain?" We've got you covered."
"You're digging out your brains, and my grandfather and His Majesty won't do what you want. I'm such a little person......"
"Aren't you about to marry a princess, how can you be a little person!"
"White horse!" Gai Wu stopped the young man's words in the Hun dialect. This Han is tricking you, don't say it again."
The white horse was taken aback, glared at Cui Lin for a moment, and was about to slap him a few steps forward.
"White horse!" A black-faced man next to Gai Wu grabbed the young man's hand and continued to persuade him in Xiongnu dialect, "It's you who are careless, he just forces you to provoke, and you ignore him."
He held down the young man, rummaged around the room, and pulled out a pair of dusty torn monk pants, ripped off a trouser leg and stuffed it into Cui Lin's mouth.
This Han man was very peaceful a few days ago, but today the officers and soldiers began to besiege the temple, and he became dishonest.
Cui Lin was stuffed with a stinky and dusty mass in her mouth, and countless dust suddenly entered her throat. He wanted to cough violently, and his stomach couldn't help but churn and almost want to gag, but his mouth was blocked, and he could only cough like retching.
For this high-ranking disciple who has never suffered since childhood, such treatment is even more humiliating than the torture he has suffered in his flesh and skin. When the young man named White Horse saw that he was being treated like this, he immediately laughed happily, and no longer thought about going up and slapping him a few times.
Cui Lin glared at Gai Wu in humiliation, he knew that the most difficult thing was this Hu man who had not spoken much.
He is about to take care of Princess Shang, except for his grandfather, there are not many people in Beijing who know about it. These Lu Shuihu people found him as the target, and they thought that they had seen this point, and from this information, it could be inferred that the instigators behind these Lu Shuihu people were powerful people with a high status in Beijing.
This is also said in the past, because there are many Xianbei nobles in Pingcheng who believe in Buddhism, for the sake of His Majesty Xià suppressing Buddhism, many Xianbei nobles almost have to die to admonish each other, at this time, buy Lu Shuihu people to make some means to force his grandfather to give in, by the way to give his grandfather a lesson, is in line with these people's means.
What's more, Lu Shuihu people also believe in Buddhism, thinking that "killing to become a Buddha", working hard for faith and money, and it is normal to hit it off with the people behind the scenes.
Cui Lin was very peaceful a few days ago, because he didn't know if these Lu Shuihu were arresting him for money or for something else. Today, the officers and soldiers were shouting outside, and he knew their purpose, and his heart suddenly became much lighter.
As long as he is useful, his life should be safe.
It's just that if you want to negotiate terms with that majesty, it's not enough to just catch him as a bargaining chip, thinking about who or what they are waiting for is the key.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but itch his mouth, and he had to come up with a few words.
It's just that he didn't expect the black-faced man behind this leader to be so immoral, and for fear that he would speak, he would actually gag him with such a filthy thing.
Phew, he's afraid he's going to lose the taste of meat in March!
Those who are familiar with Gai Wu know that if he took out the wood and began to bow his head to make wood carvings, it must be something in his heart
[,! It is difficult for the Lu Shuihu people to control their tempers, which is probably related to their good drinking and killing. The young Gai Wu was clearly an outlier among them, and made him a convincing leader of many Lushuihu people.
It's not that he doesn't have a temper, but he has his own way of venting his feelings and calming his feelings.
Doing wood carving is one of them.
Gai Wu's subordinate "White Horse" is still a teenager, and he can't hide things more than others. Gai Wu carving, this wood carving that can't see the faces of men and women clearly, has been two or three days, and the white horse has been fishing for several days, and at this time it was even more messy by Cui Lin, and suddenly couldn't help but ask in Xiongnu:
"Brother Gai Wu, what do you have in mind? You carved wood all day and night, which made us feel depressed! "
As soon as Hakuba's words came out, several samurai in the room looked at him.
Gai Wu put down his knife and glared in the direction of the white horse. But as soon as the white horse finished speaking, he immediately covered his eyes with his hands, stuck out his tongue and laughed: "I know you want to stare at me, I can't see it, you can stare at it casually!" Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Gai Wu was so denied that he could not concentrate on carving wood on the rogue white horse, and he took the wood carving into his arms, "I mind what happened that night. The shattering of the knife is a bad omen, and I have met a rare opponent in this Yu City, so my thoughts are a little scattered for a while."
Hakuba pouted, he was there that night, but he was in charge of threatening the two rangers to unlock the lock.
He also saw the fight, but in his eyes, it seemed that the strange woman took advantage of the weapon and broke the leader's weapon, and they still had something important to do, so they gave in.
In fact, at that time, Gai Wu was reluctant to take the opportunity to steal Mulan's belongings, but more than 50 of them came to this Yucheng, if they stayed in this broken temple for a while, they would always prepare more rice and noodles and other things to hoard, and the commission given by the customers was not enough, so under his great persuasion, Gai Wu agreed to give it a try.
The Han people say that a penny suffocates a hero, and although there is no need for "money" now, it is true that they are about to be driven to death.
"It's really strange that you said that these people in Wei Di are not like women, and the men are like chickens and they are caught as soon as they mention it......" Bai Ma looked at Cui Lin who was tied up like a weak chicken with disdain, "If the person who wants us to tie up is that Mulan, today is not so simple."
"When I was about the same age as you, I saw Mulan from afar. At that time, Hao Feng, the general of the Liang State, hired my uncle, and I was hired with him to help the Liang army defend against the Wei army......" Gai Wu remembered the past a few years ago, "That time, I watched Mulan shoot an arrow from afar......
"It's like this, whoosh ......"
He raised his hand and made a gesture of shooting an arrow.
Gai Wu's tone was so solemn that the samurai in the room held their breath.
Then, Hao Feng's whole head exploded, and the whole horse body was sprayed red and white.
"At that time, Hao Feng was fleeing towards the city gate, and our mercenary army escorted him to retreat in the direction of the city gate. The arrow from behind him was so powerful that he was dead before he could scream. How strong is a human head, and how can she be so powerful with an arrow from a few shots, how can such a scene not terrify everyone who sees it?"
"Hao Feng was killed in battle, and his morale was greatly defeated, and when my uncle saw that his employer was dead, he withdrew from the side road with us. But I have never forgotten the face of that Xianbei general called 'Mulan'."
It was rare for Gai Wu to say so much as he did now, and because of this, everyone in the room could feel his nervousness and caution.
"That night, I wanted to get rid of my long-standing knot by fighting her, but I found that instead of disappearing, my knot became more messy." Gai Wu said this paragraph to warn his people not to see money again, thinking of the idea of fighting Mulan's things.
"She competed with me, but a random move has already shattered my scimitar, think about it, if she uses all her strength, can she pinch the opponent's head with her bare hands?"
Lu Shuihu's inhales continued.
But most of the Hu people, whether they are Di people, Qiang people, Qi people or Xiongnu Turks, have the legend of "the gods descend to earth". According to legend, the heroes who came down to kill or save the world were mighty warriors with strange appearances.
Although most of the Lushuihu people believe in Buddhism, it is because they kill too much, and the belief in Buddhism can most soothe their hearts. But their most primitive beliefs still have a very important position.
Cui Lin pinched her back with her hand tied behind her back, so that she would not show a strange look.
He was carefully taught by his grandfather since he was a child, and he was proficient in the languages of the Xiongnu, Turkic, Xianbei, Gaoche and Qiangqian ethnic groups. These people thought that he was Han and knew Xianbei at most, so they unscrupulously talked in Xiongnu in front of him, but they didn't know that he could understand it!
This is called the leader of Gai Wu, who has fought with Mulan before, and has been defeated.
That cold-looking woman is so powerful?!
"Even if that'...... way," Hakuba was a little unconvinced, "we don't interfere with the river water from the well, and that woman can still come to the door and beat us......
"Where is Gai Wu!"
A few high-pitched cries arose, and it was the Yucheng soldiers outside the temple shouting.
"What's wrong?!" The white horse couldn't sit still and jumped up and ran out to see.
They didn't report Cui Lin when they kidnapped her, and the people here shouldn't know who the leader is.
"It's those two rangers." Guy Wu behind it. [,! The black-faced man immediately thought of what might be the reason, gritted his teeth and regretted:
"Damn! They should have been killed! "
Outside the gate of the Prayer Temple, He Mulan, dressed in hunting clothes, accompanied by the county commander You Ke and the Liang county soldiers, passed through the area surrounded by the soldiers of the Yucheng Prefecture.
As she silently walked past the soldiers, the atmosphere became silent and solemn.
This tall and dignified Xianbei man has a strange immovable momentum.
He Mulan pressed the "rock" with one hand, came to the front of a few Lu Shuihu cavalrymen at the door, and asked from a foot away:
"Where is the leader of this place, Gai Wu?"
"Where is Gai Wu?! Where is Gai Wu?! "
Several Lu Shuihu people knew Xianbei dialect, and they were a little at a loss when they heard He Mulan's words and the high shouts of the soldiers behind her, and they all looked at each other.
This scene looks quite mysterious and pitiful.
He Mullan raised his voice slightly.
"Go and sue Sù Gai Wu, Mulan is here."
