Chapter 32 The Orphan Girl Outside the Cypriots

After getting out of King Zuoxian's golden tent, I hurriedly walked in front, and Chu Jinmo quickly caught up with me, "Mu Lan, what's wrong with you?" ”

I didn't speak, Chu Jinmo sighed and said, "Are you blaming me for doing things for the Huns?" ”

"Don't dare, what the prince wants to do, it's your freedom."

Chu Jinmo walked around in front of me and blocked my way: "Yuexi is located on the border, there are strong enemies of the Xiongnu outside, and there is a power struggle inside. If I have the backing of King Zuoxian, I will definitely be able to take back the royal power. ”

I looked into his eyes and said slowly, "I thought you weren't willing to surrender to the Huns. ”

Chu Jinmo said: "People must know how to judge the situation and do great things, they must be able to bend and stretch. A twinkle flashed in his eyes, "You'll help me, won't you?" ”

I just wanted to refuse, but looking at his pair of hopeful eyes, I couldn't bear it, and sighed lightly: "Jinmo, I do owe you a lot, but I am a Han, how can I help the Huns?" ”

Chu Jinmo said lightly: "As long as you talk about national righteousness, you will respond to every call, and there are thousands of people who are willing to die for you." But you're just a woman, and no one will say you're cowardly. Maybe... Are you sick for Huo? ”

I felt a pain in my heart, in front of Chu Jinmo, it seemed that he would never be able to hide his thoughts, and his ancient well-like eyes could easily see through people's hearts.

Chu Jinmo looked straight at me, saw that I was silent, and finally sighed and said, "As long as you are by my side, nothing else matters." You don't have to do anything, just stay by my side. ”

King Zuo Xian values Chu Jinmo very much, and always recruits him into the account. I have already walked to the head of the Xiongnu Manchester City, and further north is Siberia, there is no way out, and I don't want to go anymore, so I simply followed Chu Jinmo to live in the head of Manchester City.

Chu Jinmo saw that I was not used to living in a tent, so he bought a small courtyard and found a little girl to serve me. Just like when I was in Chang'an Courtyard, there was his bookcase in my room, and he would come over to read and accompany me every day.

The little girl's name is Doris, and she came to Manchester City with her brother to join relatives, but she didn't want to be separated on the road. Doris went to Manchester City alone, but she couldn't find her brother. She had nothing to look forward to, and she was about to become a beggar, but fortunately she met Chu Jinmo and took her in.

I wanted to plant some flowers and plants in the yard to pass the time, so I took Doris out that day, intending to buy some seeds and come back.

I was picking seeds in the shop, and Doris said to me, "Master, I want to go to the yellow rice cake shop." ”

I know that she and her brother made an appointment to meet at the yellow rice cake shop in Manchester City, and when Chu Jinmo met her, she collapsed hungry outside the shop. I nodded yes and continued to pick up the seeds, and Doris left alone.

When I finished buying the seeds, I went to the rice cake shop but didn't see Doris. I waited left and right and waited for her, so I asked the shopkeeper if he had seen Doris.

The shopkeeper said, "The girl stole her purse and was taken away."

"What?" I frowned, although we haven't been together for long, but I believe in Doris's character, she will never steal other people's money.

The shopkeeper said, "For what they want to steal from the Grand Captain's house, they want to send her to the government and tattoo her face, but fortunately, the Grand Captain's daughter came forward to send people to their house." The shopkeeper shook his head as he spoke.

I asked the owner again, "Where was she taken?" ”

The shopkeeper showed me the way, and I went in the direction he said to find Doris.

When I hurried to the tent of the Grand Captain, I saw Doris lying on the ground, and I went up to check on her, only to see that she was covered in wounds and blood on her face, and that she had obviously just been beaten and tortured.

I was worried, "Doris, it's okay, how are you?" ”

When Doris saw me, her eyes immediately turned red, and she couldn't speak.

I was angry in my heart, and said to a middle-aged woman standing next to me: "What are you doing here, even if you do something wrong, how can you beat people like this?" ”

A lazy voice came from the side, "What's so noisy?" ”

I looked up and saw a young girl come out of the tent. She was dressed in a scarlet Hun dress and wore a golden headband with a ruby encrusted on her head, which hung right between her eyebrows.

I said to the girl: "It's rude, I'm from Chu Jinmo's mansion." I heard that my maid stole the nobleman's purse, so there must have been some misunderstanding, right? ”

Chu Jinmo is the upstart of King Zuo Xian, and has been reused by King Zuo Xian recently, this girl is from the family of the Grand Captain, so she naturally knows who Chu Jinmo is.

The girl's eyes rolled, and she said angrily to the subordinate with the stick in her hand: "What are you doing here, didn't I ask you to check the truth?" Who told you to hit someone for no reason? ”

The subordinate looked puzzled, "Didn't the girl just say let's beat us hard, as long as we don't beat it to death?" ”

The girl's face instantly became embarrassed, and I sneered in my heart.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, master, you have already told me to release people, but I am angry so..."

The girl said, "You shouldn't apologize to me!" ”

The middle-aged woman saluted me, "I'm sorry! No matter how much I asked her, she would not say which slave she was. ”

The girl walked up to me and said, "It's these ignorant people who don't know how to do things, please forgive me." It is not easy to teach these lowly subordinates. But this little mistake of stealing things is not easy to change, I think she should be sold before she makes a bigger mistake! With that, she looked at Doris on the ground.

I said lightly: "No matter what, I will find someone to send you your money." ”

The girl waved her hand and said, "No need, I also hurt the property of your house, even if it is flattened!" ”

I shook my head: "This kid is not something to be bought and sold, but my friend."

The girl wondered, "What?" Slaves and maids have always been lowly people, and whoever has money can buy and sell. ”

I said, "I don't think there is a distinction between high and low, but there is a high and low personality. Although I don't know how much money Lu Dao lost in the house today, can it hurt more than her heart? ”

The girl had a puzzled look on her face: "What did you say?"

I said lightly: "Then when you spare her, I will take it away." ”

With that, I picked up Doris and walked out, leaving the girl and her men with a puzzled face.

"Master, I really didn't steal her money." Doris cried.

"I know it."

Doris's eyes widened: "Do you really believe it?" ”

I nodded, "I believe in you." ”

Doris bit her lip, tears slipped from her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I just went to the yellow rice cake shop to wait for my brother, and on the way there, I accidentally bumped into a woman in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and she said that I stole her money, and arrested me and beat me up, but I really didn't!" ”

This powerful society of the jungle just bumped into her, and then used the excuse of stealing her money to beat others, and my heart sank.

I wiped away Doris's tears with a silk handkerchief and comforted, "Don't cry. ”

When I got back to the yard, I buried the seeds I bought in the soil and watered them again. Doris had already cleaned the wound and applied medicine, but fortunately it was only a skin wound and there was no major problem.

Doris squatted on the ground and asked curiously, "Master, what are you planting?" ”

I loosened the dirt with a shovel, "It's plum blossoms." ”

Doris asked again, "Blooming?" ”

I nodded: "Blooming, in winter, and it's fragrant and beautiful." ”

Why do you want to plant plum blossoms? I don't know what to do. Originally, I wanted to buy some grape seeds when I went out, and I planned to ask someone to build a shelf in the flower garden. When he was choosing seeds, he bought the seeds of plum blossoms by mistake.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a voice came from behind me, "Are you planting flowers?" ”

I turned around, and Chu Jinmo looked at me with a smile.

"It's still early to come back today, but have you eaten?"

Chu Jinmo nodded, walked over and squatted beside me, watching me fiddle with those seeds: "Mulan... Why don't you ask me, why don't you go back to Yuexi? ”

I continued to turn over the dirt: "If you want to tell me, you will naturally say, why should I ask you? ”

Chu Jinmo said in a low voice: "Mother has passed the throne to An Guo, An Guo doesn't understand the country, and actually did the stupid thing of blocking the Eagle Road!" ”

I was silent, and Chu Jinmo continued: "The eagle is Hai Dongqing, a handsome bird used for hunting. The Xiongnu nobles liked Haidongqing very much, and the demand for Haidongqing was very large. ”

"And this Hai Dong Qing is only produced in the tribes near the west of Yue, and the road that captured Hai Dong Qing and sent it to Tou Manchester City is called Eagle Road."

"The Xiongnu Shan Yu sent a special envoy to hunt eagles, called the silver angel. The silver angel came down to collect the eagle, and after receiving it, it was sent to the hands of the Hun nobles of Manchester City along the eagle road. ”

"Because these silver angels often do mischief among the tribes under Yuexi, it has caused a rebellion against the Yuexi people. There are often Yuexi people who block the Eagle Road, make trouble on this road, and intercept and kill the Xiongnu envoys. ”

I wondered, "How often does this happen?" ”

Chu Jinmo nodded: "This time, An Guo didn't know the severity, and actually connived at a tribe under Yuexi to block the Eagle Road and capture the Huns' eagle envoys. Today I heard from King Zuo Xian that Da Shan Yu learned that the Eagle Road was blocked, and in a fit of rage, he was going to send troops to attack Yuexi. ”

I said casually: "You are in the Xiongnu, and your heart is in the west of Yuexi, how is this good?" ”

Chu Jinmo's expression was a little gloomy: "Are you still blaming me for doing things for the Xiongnu Zuoxian King?" ”

I put down the shovel, stood up, and turned my head to tell Doris to prepare tea for Chu Jinmo. When only the two of us were left, I said to him: "The prince stayed in the Xiongnu today and was reused by King Zuoxian, of course, he can be rich and peaceful for a while." ”

I changed my words: "But I know very well that with your talents, you are not just a mere advisor under King Zuo Xian. ”

Chu Jinmo looked at me, and his eyes shot deep feelings: "Then what do you say I can do?" ”

I said: "Be the master of the West!" ”

Chu Jinmo's body shook: "What! ”

I continued, word by word: "Now is the perfect opportunity for you to regain power, and you immediately go and tell King Zuo Xian that you are willing to lead troops to Yuexi to settle this matter. ”

Chu Jinmo muttered: "King Zuo Xian may not be willing to give me military power. ”

I smiled lightly: "What's so difficult about this, you tell King Zuo Xian about your identity." King Zuo Xian must be willing to raze the country, no need to do it himself, let the Yuexi people fight the Yuexi people, and he will definitely give you military power. ”

Chu Jinmo shot me in the eyes: "Are you willing to help me seize the position of the lord of Yuexi?" ”

I nodded solemnly, Chu Jinmo looked at me and didn't speak, and suddenly smiled, that smile was like a spring breeze, and those frosts dispersed in his smile: "Mulan, with you to help me, why worry about the great cause!" ”

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Hussar General laughed at Chapter 32 818 What is a knife and pen officer.

The ancients used a brush to write on bamboo slips, and there was no correction liquid when they made a mistake, what should they do? They used a knife to scrape out the typos and rewrite them, so the officials who handled the documents were called pen and knife officials.

According to the record of "Zizhi Tongjian", Li Guang was lost in the battle of Monan, Wei Qing sent a civil official to ask him what was going on, Li Guang said, "Guang is more than 60 years old, and he will never be able to return to the sword and pen!" After speaking, he wiped his neck and committed suicide.
