Chapter 1: The Dumb Girl Speaks
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Huo Mansion has been particularly warm, and the girls always get together to discuss the strange things that have happened in the house: a mute girl doesn't know how to speak.
An old man walked into the courtyard, he was dressed in a blue robe, and his face was solemn, which made people feel a little solemn.
At this time, it was the afternoon, a gust of wind blew, a few petals fell from the old locust tree, and a few girls were sitting under the tree and talking. The acquaintance on the tree was accompanied by the voices of several girls screaming one after another, and the girls were talking happily, without noticing the old man at all.
"You say how can a dumb person speak? This is an unheard of miracle! A woman in a green shirt said.
"I think this is a miracle of God, our young master is a great nobleman, I heard that even his name was taken by His Majesty himself, so the people in our house are all stained!" The woman next to her chimed in.
The woman in the green shirt continued: "The young master is naturally unspeakably expensive, but this matter is too strange, the young master will definitely win a big battle with the general this time!" She blinked, and continued, "But don't you think this dumb man seems to have changed? She..."
The woman in the green shirt suddenly stopped talking, and a few girls next to her were talking about Xingtou, and couldn't help urging: "How is she?" ”
The woman in the green shirt didn't answer, stood up suddenly, and smiled at the old man: "Uncle Chen! ”
"Humph! You lazy things! Uncle Chen had been listening to the side for a while, and said to the green-shirted woman: "Don't say anything about this anymore, the young master heard it, be careful of your skin!" ”
Everyone got up, bowed their heads and stood up straight, and replied, "No! ”
Uncle Chen said to the green-shirted woman: "Rui'er, the young master is about to return home, you go and ask Mulan to prepare hot water to serve!" ”
The green-shirted girl named Rui'er answered with low eyebrows, left everyone, and walked towards the inner hall.
Uncle Chen waved his hand, "It's all gone!" ”
The girls answered, and then they scattered.
Uncle Chen looked up and looked along the branches of the old locust tree, and the golden sunlight was cut by the green branches, so that Uncle Chen couldn't open his eyes, as if the secret of heaven could not be peeped at.
A person who has been mute since he was a child suddenly spoke, in fact, he also felt that this matter was strange in his heart, was it a hint from God?
This mute girl Mulan was picked up from the street by the young master when she was a child and entered the house, although she was a mute, but she was careful and serious, and the young master looked at Kexin, so she followed the young master as a personal maid since she was a child. This time, Mu Lan suddenly spoke, but the young master didn't believe in the power of ghosts and gods, and still let her be a personal maid.
Uncle Chen sighed secretly, the young master is about to go on the expedition, I hope this matter will not have any impact!
I'm the mute, I'm not a dumb person to be exact, but the first thing I say is that the people here open their eyes and are shocked and inexplicable, they are talking about me behind my back, and I hear them secretly say that I am a monster.
I remember very clearly, I was lying in my bed, and before I went to bed, I turned on my phone and listened to the sound of the tides of the sea, and the sound of the sea swirled in my brain, and my eyelids felt heavy and fell asleep.
By the time I became conscious, I was here. So I think it must have been a dream. I actually dreamed that I was dreaming, which reminded me of Leonardo's movie "Inception".
Before going out, the young master instructed me to tidy up the study, and I took the rag and wiped the table in my hand. Everyone here looks at me with the eyes of monsters, but the young master here, who is the owner of this mansion, thinks I am amused.
Today is my third day here, and if it's a dream, it's probably too long!
"Lan'er!" I was thinking wildly, a crisp voice interrupted my thoughts, Rui'er walked into the study, she said: "The young master is coming back soon, Uncle Chen told you to prepare hot water quickly and serve the young master!" ”
"No!" I answered Rui'er's words, threw down the rag and walked out. scolded in my heart, how did my sisters do such a big spring dream!
was walking with his head down, and suddenly bumped into a person's arms, "Why don't you look at the road!" ”
I stroked my head and looked at the man in front of me, this child was not even twenty years old, but he liked to pretend to be old in front of people, he turned back to Rui'er and said, "Go and prepare tea for me!" Rui'er answered, bowed her head and stepped back.
"What are you thinking?" This child, no, my young master said to me.
I looked at him carefully, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were not big, his eyes became crooked when he laughed, his nose was straight, his mouth was thin, his skin was not very white, but it was better than youth.
He wore a golden crown and a black garment, on which was embroidered with gold thread a four-clawed dragon swimming in the water. The body is slender and straight, handsome and lofty, like a heavenly general, which makes people feel like dust at a glance, but the expression on his face makes people fall back to the world immediately at first sight.
At this time, a smile escaped from his mouth, "Are you stupid? ”
When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had just accidentally bumped into him, and now half of my body was half leaning on his arms. suddenly came to his senses, quickly broke free, lowered his head and pretended to tidy up his clothes to resolve the embarrassment just now.
He threw the whip in his hand on the table, went to the mat and sat down, and when he saw that I was still standing, he got up again and pulled me down with him.
To be honest, I am in my thirties this year, although I don't know why Lu Dao would have such an ancient spring dream, but my subconscious is still stubborn that the person in front of me is a child, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, Amitabha!
When the young master saw that there were words in my mouth, he couldn't help but wonder, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Nothing!" I hurriedly said.
The young master said: "I have already told Your Majesty today, my uncle is on this expedition, I want to go with me, and the eldest husband should make contributions on horseback!" Your Majesty listened to Long Yan Dayue and asked me to lead the 800 Yu Lin Army to the battlefield with my uncle! ”
I don't know why this thing sounds very familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it, and I heard him say: "Your Majesty has made me the captain of Bi Yao, and ten days later I will set out to conquer the Huns!" ”
"What!" My body shook violently.
I was born in the liberal arts and love history. The Xiongnu are steppe nomads on the ancient Mongolian desert, which has been a nightmare in northern China during the Qin and Han dynasties.
The young man in front of me was still talking excitedly, not noticing my abnormality in the slightest. My heart jumped, could it be him?
I suddenly grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "Are you..."
As soon as I was halfway through the words, Rui'er came in with tea, and I took advantage of Rui'er's concentration on serving tea and didn't see the scene in front of me, so I quickly let go of the young master's hand.
The young master didn't say anything, picked up the tea and blew, he asked, "What did you want to say just now?" ”
I turned my head and saw that Rui'er had withdrawn, and quickly gathered my thoughts, yes, I had a dream, a dream of a famous man in history.
In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago, their clothes and ornaments are clearly Hanfu, and the heroic young man in front of me, Captain Yao Yao, followed his uncle to fight against the Huns, isn't it Huo Quai!
Huo Quzhi looked at me with tea and a strange expression, "You, I didn't think you were skinny when I was a child, but I suddenly spoke in the past few days, and I feel like you have changed as a different person." ”
I took a deep breath and wondered if I should tell him that he would only live to be twenty-four years old, and that history says he died of illness. But seeing the smile in his eyebrows, what he wanted to say came to his lips, but it turned into a sentence, "Can I go with you?" ”
Huo Quzhi was stunned for a moment, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, he put down the teacup and laughed for a while before saying: "You can't ride a horse, you can't follow me, and besides, you can't take your female dependents in a war, it's dangerous."
I bowed my head and was depressed for a while, Huo Quzhi fought six big battles in his life, six battles and six victories, where did the danger come from.
"Okay, Lan'er hurry up and prepare a hot bath for me, and I will go to the Yulin military camp to go around and select some capable soldiers."
"No!" I agreed, got up and walked outside, and when I got to the door, I couldn't help but look back at him.
He was looking at it with a horsewhip, looking ambitious. Sensing that I was looking at him, he looked up at me, and as soon as I made contact with his gaze, I suddenly felt my old face flush, and my heart beat a beat for no reason, and quickly avoided his gaze and walked out of the house.
After that day, Huo Qu went out early and returned late every day, seeing him basically late at night, after returning home, he was sometimes tired and tight, and fell asleep without saying a word, and after serving him to sleep, he could not find the opportunity to visit this famous general in history.
But since I am his personal maid, I live in the outhouse of his house, and he lives in the inner room, so that I can call me. Of course, I didn't think much about it when I was older, but I just felt that I was fortunate to be so close to this famous general in history.
I've been in the house for days before I know it, and I don't have to do anything every day. Rui'er, who was also a girl in the house, was young and talked a lot, so she became familiar with me, and I gradually learned about me from her.
My name is Mu Lan now, and I am about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the people in the house don't know how old I am. When I was a child, I was bullied on the street, and I was saved by Huo Quai, so I was left as a girl.
Probably because I was young, and seeing that I was a mute, he treated me a little better, and then when he saw that I was smart and clever, he simply kept me as a personal maid.
Huo Quzhi doesn't treat me as an ordinary girl, and treats me very well. But I'm mute, I can't speak, and I can't play with the girls around me, so everyone respects me on the surface, but secretly they disdain me.
Now that I can talk all of a sudden, girls like Rui'er are getting closer to me.
Huo Qubing was deeply loved by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty at a young age, and at the age of seventeen, he was named the Son of Heaven and served with him. With a royal background, coupled with his diligent martial arts practice, he is a well-known little overlord in Chang'an City, and no one dares to displease him.
I heard Rui'er say that not long after Huo Qu's illness was born, his mother Wei Shao'er carried him into the palace to visit his sister Wei Zifu, who had just been named a lady.
When he walked to the front of the emperor's dormitory, Huo Quai's illness suddenly cried, and Liu Che, the emperor of Han Wu in the dormitory, happened to be sick and rested in bed, and when he heard the cry of a child, he was shocked into a cold sweat, but the disease was cured.
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che summoned Wei Shao'er's mother and son into the palace, Liu Che hugged the infant child and asked, "Does this child have a name?" ”
Wei Shao'er replied: "I haven't chosen a name yet."
Liu Che said: "Just call it sick!" ”
Rui'er chatted with me for a while, then suddenly stared at me and asked seriously, "Lan'er, why are you suddenly able to speak?" ”
"I don't know what to do, I just woke up and that's it."
"That's it", Rui'er nodded thoughtfully, "It must be God who has shown your spirit, and letting you speak before the young master sets out on the expedition means that the young master will definitely win a big battle this time!" ”
I smiled lightly, Huo Quai's illness didn't stop winning this battle, he had never lost in his life.
Ten days later came the day of the expedition, and it was not dawn that day, and all the lanterns had been lit in the house, and they were as bright as day. I don't have a watch, and I don't know what time it is, but I guess it should be four or five in the morning.
Everyone in the house was busy running in and out, but under the coordination of the housekeeper Uncle Chen, there was no mistake in the chaos.
Huo Quzhi got up early, and after I waited for me to wash up, I put on my armor.
This armor is black in color as a whole, with only armor plates on the chest and dorsal part. The cuirass and dorsal armor were fastened with straps at the shoulders and also with straps under the armpits. The nail pieces used are all rectangular, with three rows in the front and back, six pieces in the highest row and five pieces in each of the lower two rows.
Huo Quzhi solemnly took off the sword on the table with both hands. The name of this sword is Feihong, and it is a gift from the emperor. He hung his sword on his body, gave me a faint look, and walked out of the house surrounded by a crowd of people.
Rui'er and I followed the girls and boys in the mansion until we walked to the gate of Huo Mansion, and there was already a team of Yulin soldiers waiting in front of the door, everyone was gearing up, the war horses were neighing, and the battle flags were fluttering.
The sun was rising, just like Huo Quai, the born god of war, and I looked at the road ahead. Under the golden sunlight, the iron armor and the spear head reflected a little silver light, which made people's eyes squint slightly.
Huo Quzhi was dressed in black armor, compared with the wide-sleeved robe, he was a little less casual and dignified, a little more brave and sassy, and really heroic.
Huo Qu turned on his horse neatly, pulled the reins tightly, and ordered loudly, "Go!" ”
Far away, I still felt the tense murderous aura in his heart. I watched as his figure quickly vanished away in the smoke and dust. At this time, he is sharp, and his invincible career as a god of war is slowly kicking off.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ hussar general smiled and passed the first words: "Go sick, you have been selected as the man who wants to travel the most in the Han Dynasty and the sexiest general in the Han Dynasty this time!" ”
Huo Quzhi was playing with the new machete in his hand, "Nani? What kind of market do I have in Chang'an City, you don't know what to do? ”
I hurried up, "Go sick, help me sign another hundred names, and now your signature has risen to one hardware!" ”
Huo Quzhi put down the machete and began to sign, "Remember, I'm out of eight and you two are sold out, come back and give me a share!" ”
