"That's fine! Xiaocui, you help your young lady, let's go! ”

A group of five people stepped on the thick snow and rushed back, and it took more than an hour to rush back to the cabin, at this time Wan Yutong and Xiaocui were exhausted, cold and hungry, Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng had to make a fire in the cabin and roast some food for everyone to eat.

When everyone has eaten and drunk enough, and has roasted their bodies warmly, they will go on the road together.

There are only three horses, Wan Yutong and Xiaocui's master and servant ride one, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan ride one, and Lu Xuanbo rides one.

Wan Yutong and Xiaocui's bantam horses fell behind, and she looked at Mulan on the back of the horse in front of her leaning on Zhao Junsheng's arms, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Cui knew Wan Yutong's thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Xiao Cui knows the bitterness in your heart!" ”

Wan Yutong watched Zhao Junsheng holding Hua Mulan with the horse's back undulating, his face was gloomy, and then his face became calm, and his heart stopped and said: "After this incident, my heart is dead!" Xiaocui, after I go back, I'll find you a good family to marry, you don't have to follow me anymore! ”

Xiao Cui was shocked: "What? What did the young lady say, if Xiao Cui gets married, who will serve the young lady? ”

"Me? Where I go! A trace of sadness flashed on Wan Yutong's face, but he became relieved.

Xiaocui seemed to think of something: "Miss shouldn't you want to promise the emperor to go to the palace?" People often say that once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and the young lady doesn't like the emperor, isn't it asking for hardship and suffering when you go to the palace? ”

"Brother Buddha? I know his temperament, why is it difficult for him to want a beautiful woman? What he likes is not me, but my appearance, I will get tired of it after a long time, there are so many beautiful women in the palace, I will be abandoned in a few years! I wouldn't be so stupid to go to the palace to join in the fun! Besides, I've always treated him as an older brother, and I don't have a relationship with him! ”

Xiaocui thought to herself: "My young lady, you are still not stupid, do you think you can not go if you don't want to go to the palace?" He is the emperor, you have no love for him, but he has taken a fancy to you, if you can't get it, how can you be reconciled? ”

On horseback, Mulan seemed to fall asleep in Zhao Junsheng's arms, who put his chin on her shoulder and smelled the fragrance on her.

Mulan, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly spoke: "Brother Junsheng, why did you go out of your way to save me just now?" You must know that if you don't stick the dagger into the ice wall in time, all four of us will fall into the bottomless ravine, which is too dangerous! ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are pretending to be asleep, I thought you were asleep!" Aren't you also desperate to save Miss Wan? At that time, the time was too short, and there was no time to think too much about the calcium carbide sparks, and my body instinctively drove me to save people, and I believe you must be the same! ”

"Brother Junsheng, will Miss Wan be unhappy to see us together like this?"

"Why do you care so much about Miss Wan's feelings? When we are together, why should we look at other people's faces? When Zhao Junsheng said this, he actually felt a little against his heart, he knew very well what Wan Yutong thought about him, how could he be hard-hearted, it was a lie to say that there was no trace of emotion and joy in his heart, but it was the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, he couldn't give her a return on affection, and he felt deep guilt in his heart.

Hua Mulan sighed: "But Miss Wan is a good person, she has a good heart and is kind, I don't want to see her sad!" ”

"That'······ What do you want? ”

Mulan shook her head: "I don't know either."

Let's take it one step at a time! Zhao Junsheng sighed in his heart.

At noon, Zhao Junsheng and the others returned to the camp last night, and several captured gray-clothed people were lying in the tent with their hands and feet tied and shivering.

Zhao Junsheng and the others lit a fire on the spot, let the captured gray-clothed people warm themselves, and gave them some food, and while it was still early, they threw a few gray-clothed people with Lu Xuanbo onto a horse-drawn sleigh, and he and Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong's master and servant took a sleigh and hurried as fast as possible.

The next day, Zhao Junsheng and others returned to the Jinling camp.

In the tent of the Zhenshu army, Wan Dugui met with Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

"The little girl can be saved this time thanks to the two of you, she has already told Ben Jiang that she is in danger, if it weren't for the two of you desperately, Ben Jiang would have lost her beloved daughter!" Wandu Gui's words are sincere and sincere.

Mulan clenched her fists: "The military master doesn't have to take it to heart, at this time, his subordinates should do it!" ”

Wan Du Gui no longer mentioned the matter of thanks, and talked about He Laichao and He Ruoting: "Last night, He Laichao and He Ruoting sent someone to report to Ba Baye, and they were arrested by the general, and they found out the letters they wrote to Ba Baye from the person who reported the news, and now these two people have been ordered to be detained by the general, but the Pingyang Wang family has a lot of power in the army and the court, and I am afraid that I can't take it down on this alone, after all, the evidence is too thin!" ”

Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists and said, "Commander, we caught a few soldiers sent by Babaye to kidnap Miss!" ”

Wan Dugui was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's just right, as long as these soldiers confess and testify against Ba Baye, he will be in a catastrophe!" Ben will take them to the camp of the Right Guard Army to meet the Qin envoy sent by the imperial court and punish him! You two will go with Ben too! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan glanced at each other and agreed with their fists.

After being paralyzed from a stroke, he couldn't speak and couldn't handle military affairs, so the imperial court sent an envoy to supervise the army An Yuan to take charge of military affairs.

His ancestor was originally a prince sent by the state of peace to envoy to the Han Dynasty, stayed in Luoyang for various reasons, after the Wei and Jin dynasties due to the war to avoid Liaodong, An Yuan's grandfather An Qu later went to the grassland to do business and met the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty who lived in the Dugu tribe, Tuoba Jue, and stayed to assist him to fight the world.

An Yuan's father An Tong also assisted Tuoba Jue to conquer the world, made meritorious contributions, after three dynasties, the three generations of emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty relied on him, Tuoba Tao succeeded to the throne, and was rewarded greatly, and now he is the official to the general of the expedition to the east, the history of the two states of Jiqing.

In the second year of Shiguang (425 AD), An Yuan himself was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu because of his merits, and he was promoted to the Duke of Hejian, and was awarded the general of Shizhong and Zhengnan.

Father and son, one is the general of the expedition to the east, and the other is the general of the expedition to the south, what a scenery and glory? Among the Jiangmen families of the Northern Wei Dynasty, no one can stand out!

In today's situation, there are Rouran iron cavalry in the north, and the soldiers and horses stationed in the Jinling camp are not in harmony, and Tuoba Tao sent An Yuan to serve as the Qin envoy and supervisor is also well thought out, and only An Yuan can control the scene.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan took some soldiers to escort He Laichao, He Ruoting and a few gray men who were caught, followed Wandu back to the camp of the Right Guard Army to ask to see An Yuan, and after the report, they were led to the tooth tent.

An Yuan is not very old, about the same as Wandu Gui, sitting behind the desk alone, with a big horse golden sword, quite marshal momentum, and on both sides of the right guard standing large and small generals and officials.

"The last general, Huaishuo Town, will return Wandu to see General An!"

An Yuan raised his hand: "General Wan doesn't have to be polite, the general was looking for you to ask about the drill and progress of the Huaishuo Town Garrison, but I didn't expect you to come first!" By the way, what is the important thing for you to come to see Ben? ”

Wan Du returned to his fists: "General Qiyu, the last general is here to sue!" ”

"Sue, who are you going to sue?" Yasuhara was surprised.

Wan Dugui immediately told in detail about He Laichao and He Ruoting's collusion with Ba Ye to repeatedly assassinate him and his subordinates Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and others.

"Oh? Is there any evidence? ”

"Yes!" Wandu immediately asked Zhao Junsheng to escort people up, and took out a whistle-blowing letter and handed it to An Yuan.

Yasuhara read He Laichao's letter to Babaye, and severely interrogated several of the arrested gray-clothed people and messengers, and the answers they got were not much different from what Wan Dugui said.

An Yuan's expression was solemn after hearing this, he knew that this paper was not easy to accept, the He Lai family was one of the eight tribes of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it had a great influence in the government and the opposition, not to mention Ba Baye, although he himself was just a building master, but the power of the Ba Ba family in the court and the army was intertwined, like a big tree in the sky, it was not easy to provoke, and if it was provoked, I was afraid that it would be a commotion!

An Yuan is a very perceptive person, their An family can have today's status is not completely dependent on military exploits, and has a strong insight in political standing, he remembered that the emperor recently disagreed with him on military and political affairs in the court and some old ministers in the army, so the emperor was very dissatisfied with the Baba family.

In an instant, Yasuhara thought a lot, in this matter, he could not offend people, but he could not ignore it, so it was better to leave the final decision on this matter to the emperor.

"How can this be true, now the Mobei worms are eyeing my Great Wei, these people are so deliberately colluding together to kill their colleagues and comrades, if they are not dealt with, how can they make the soldiers work together to fight the enemy together?"

Yasuhara was furious and shouted: "Where will the teeth outside the tent be?" ”

A tooth general in heavy armor walked in to greet him: "The last general! ”

"Take someone to arrest Ba Baye and take strict care of it!"

"Yes!"

An Yuan sent people to take He Laichao, He Ruoting and a cadre of people to be imprisoned, and said to Wan Dugui: "General Wan, with the crimes of Ba Baye and others, the general could have dealt with it by himself, and beheaded them to correct the unhealthy trend in the army, but the king of Pingyang is now paralyzed in bed, not good at his deeds, unable to speak, after all, he is an old minister of the three dynasties, with outstanding merits, at this moment, it is not good to do too much, how to deal with this matter or leave it to Your Majesty to decide, Ben will write to Your Majesty in the near future, and send someone to escort Baba Ye and others to Pingcheng, What do you think? ”

Wan Du Gui knew that the outcome of the matter must be like this, and as for how the emperor would deal with Ba Baye, it was not something he could speculate.

"Everything is at the disposal of the general!"

"Very good! Come, tell the general about the military drills! ”

Returning from the camp of the Right Guard Army to the tent of the garrison camp in Huaishuo Town, Wan Du Gui said to Mulan: "You also heard just now, General An attaches great importance to the drill of soldiers and horses, and the effect of our drill is a little worse than that of Woye Town, and the progress is also a lot slower, so we must go all out to improve the effect of the drill as soon as possible and speed up the progress!" ”

"After the beginning of spring next year, General An will hold a big competition between the armies, although we are only the garrison army, but we can't lose face, not to mention winning all the Right Guards, at least a few subjects! In order to get a good result in the big contest with the Right Guard Army and the Woye Town Garrison Army, General Ben decided to hold a contest within our Huaishuo Town Garrison Army in two months! Mulan and Junsheng, you two must be more attentive after you go down, and you can't relax on the side of the baggage camp, and you have to participate in the big competition! ”

Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng both had a strong sense of urgency when they heard this, and they hugged their fists together and agreed: "Yes!" ”
