Chapter 39: The Smoke Returns
"Hey, you crazy woman, uncle, I just tried to help you, okay?"
The young man picked his nostrils very ungracefully, and said impatiently, "If it weren't for the uncle who pushed you, you would have been hit by that big guy just now, if you don't thank the uncle, you still dare to complain, what a crazy woman." ”
"Crazy Woman ......"
Mulan lowered her head, and some stray hair covered her face, so Kai couldn't see her expression, but I don't know if it was Kai's illusion, he always felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot, and he couldn't help but shiver. Glancing at Mulan in some horror, why, why did her momentum increase so much all of a sudden?
"Hey, madwoman, what are you going to do?"
The young man who was obviously more powerful than himself obviously felt the changes in Mulan's body, and his eyes were a little more solemn, pointing at Mulan and saying, "I'll tell you, don't mess around, be careful of my ......."
"Are you Sister Mulan?"
The little girl blinked her eyes, looked at Mulan not far away and said, this is the second time she has taken the initiative to speak, the first time because of the bracelet, and the second time because of Mulan.
"What?"
The little girl's words obviously reached the ears of the boy and Mulan, and the two of them were stunned at the same time, but the difference was that Mulan was stunned with doubts, and the young man ...... Why is it dumbfounded?
"You ......"
Hua Mulan looked at the little girl with some hesitation, it was obvious that since the other party called her name directly, she obviously knew herself, but in her impression, she didn't remember such a cute little girl.
"I'm a little tuanzi."
Seeing that Mulan admitted her identity, the little girl became so happy, her face was full of joy, and she looked at Mulan happily, "Sister, have you forgotten?" When I was in Huqiuya two years ago, it was you who saved me and my brother, the nickname of Xiaotuanzi, or did you give it to me from my sister. ”
"Little dumplings!"
With such a striking title, Mulan suddenly realized, and then put on a happy expression, this is the first time Kai has seen Mulan smile so happily, as if she saw a relative, she withdrew her weapon, jumped off the wall, hugged the little girl who was running towards her with a smile, and held her head in a happy circle.
"You ...... Know? ”
Kai scratched the tip of his nose, feeling that something was going wrong.
"Ah, why?"
However, the young man seemed to have lost his soul, and looked blankly at Mulan who was hugging Xiao Mengmeng, his face full of despair.
"Why did you meet her in this place, this man's wife, it's over, uncle, I will definitely be killed by her."
Kai was even more confused, and at the same time curious, what did Mulan do to him? can make the guy who scolded Guan Yufeng so afraid of her in a few words?
"Xiao Tuanzi, by the way, how did you come to this place. I remember that Tiger Hill seems to be a long way from here, right? ”
After the joy of the first meeting, both parties calmed down a little, but Mulan still hugged the little girl and kept it in her arms, letting Xiao Mengmeng sit on her arm.
"We're just here to find you, sister."
Xiao Mengmeng said crisply, "Two years ago, sister, you were in a hurry, at that time you left us a sign, saying that we would ask Grandpa Hu for help if we had something, and then after my brother's injury healed, sister, you don't know where to go, and we don't know where my sister lives, we only know what you look like, sister." My brother said that the brand was exquisitely made, and it should be very important to my sister, so I insisted on returning it to you, so we came out to find you, sister, but ...... But the world is so big, we don't know where to look. Later, terrible beasts appeared in many places, and almost all the places we went along were in ruins. My brother had to take me to look for it while avoiding the pursuit of those wild beasts, and it was almost a year since then, and my brother said that even if I returned the brand to my sister now, my sister might not be of much use. So he took me to stay here for more than three months. ”
"You ......"
Hua Mulan was a little stunned, that brand, she still clearly remembers, it was her father's token, her father was critically ill for years, she stabilized the situation by killing, and then has been in charge of the guards, although she has never had a leader, but she has already had a leader, and her father's token is naturally on her body. At that time, because of a mission, she took people to Huqiuya, and on the way back she met this brother and sister, and she saw that they were pitiful, so she took them in, and took care of them for a few days, when the boy was still injured, and it was all up to this little girl, who was only six or seven years old at the time. Later, the imperial court appointed her to return to Chang'an City quickly, because there was too late, and she didn't think so much, so she gave them her father's token and asked them to find that Uncle Hu, that is, one of her father's former subordinates. And he took people back to Chang'an City.
The young man was right, the token was really important to herself, she regretted it a little on the way to Chang'an City, she was not the official leader of the Great Wall Guards at that time, but she lost the identity token, and almost even her father was involved at that time, but fortunately, her father was also regarded as an immortal contribution to the court in the past, and the merit outweighed the fault, and His Majesty did not punish her much at this point. At that time, she still blamed herself for this incident, and she also thought about regretting it, but now she ...... Seeing that these two children worked tirelessly to return the brand to her, she felt a little guilty, and she should not have complained about these two little guys because of her own negligence.
"Sister, give it, your token, although my brother said that it may be useless, but I think it's better to return it to you."
Xiao Mengmeng stuck out his tongue and took out a metal sign the size of half a palm from his body, which was silver-white all over, but it was printed with a golden yellow logo that resembled a bird's head. This emblem Kai has also seen on Mulan's armor, and Mulan says that it is the Wind Bird of the Empire, a symbol exclusive to their Great Wall Guards.
"Silly girl......"
Seeing that Xiao Mengmeng's eyes were still a little guilty, Mulan's eyes were a little moist, she took the token and rubbed it on Xiao Mengmeng's head, only to feel that it was not the child in front of her who should feel guilty at this moment, it should be herself.
"Then since you have arrived in Yancheng, you should be able to hear about me, why don't you go to my sister?"
Yancheng is currently the closest city to their Great Wall Guard base, Mulan doesn't dare to say that she has reached the point of becoming a household name, but at least half of the people know about her, Xiao Mengmeng and her brother have been here for a few months, haven't they heard about themselves?
"We know where my sister is, but my brother won't let me go to you. It is said that in the current time of war, we should not cause trouble to my sister again. ”
Xiao Mengmeng is honest, and she will say a word when Mulan asks.
"Count your brother still has a conscience."
Mulan smiled and nodded Xiao Mengmeng's nose, making her giggle and ask another question.
"By the way, you also said before, I didn't even tell you my name, you only know my appearance, how do you know that I'm here?"
"This ......"
"Well, ahem...... Ah......h Cough...... cough cough cough ......"
Before Xiao Mengmeng could speak, the young man suddenly seemed to have sheep epilepsy, sneezing, coughing, and babbling as if he was vomiting something, which was inexplicable.
"Leave him alone, you go on."
Hua Mulan looked at Xiao Mengmeng with a smile, with a look of "I'm still listening", Xiao Mengmeng was confused, scratched her head, but continued to speak.
"It's my brother who said it, he said that the female general has never seen anyone else, just ask, a tigress general like a man's wife, it must be your sister. Hey, sister, tigress, man's wife, what are these? ”
Hehe......
Hua Mulan shook her neck, making a tooth-aching bone rubbing sound, and then slowly put Xiao Mengmeng on the ground, pinched her fingers, and said with a smile.
"Well, my sister doesn't know much about this, so you'd better find a chance to ask your good brother."
"Hey, hey, hey, crazy woman, what are you going to do, I'll tell you, I'll beat a woman if you mess with uncle. Don't come, I warn you not to come again. I count one, two, three, one, two...... Ah, sister, I was wrong, don't slap your face, don't slap your face, eat with your face. Ahh......h
Seeing that a scene that was unsuitable for children was being staged in front of him, Kai decisively covered Xiao Mengmeng's eyes, this girl is still so young, she shouldn't have seen such a bloody and violent scene.
Da Da Da ......
Family education is going on here, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves appeared in the nearby streets at an inopportune time, except for Xiao Mengmeng, who should be considered unusual people, and naturally they all heard this string of horses' hooves.
"Eldest sister, someone is here, can you save some face?"
The young man's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he begged for mercy pitifully.
"Humph!"
Hua Mulan ignored him, stood up angrily, and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came.
"Lao Tzu is fighting desperately for you here, you are hiding to watch the fun, and now that the matter is over, you will come out, you will really pick the time, and I won't teach you a lesson, is it really when I am Mulan?"
Even regardless of those patrolmen, the nearest West City Gate was only twenty minutes away from the place where they first started fighting, but they fought for almost half an hour, that is, an hour, and they didn't see them send troops over, and now they know that they came to pick up ready-made ones? Are you kidding!
"General!"
The sound of horses' hooves did not stop all the way, until a black-armored soldier appeared less than twenty meters in front of Mulan, and the leading horse soldier directly turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee in front of Mulan.
"You ......"
Hua Mulan just wanted to get angry, but suddenly found that something was wrong, no, not to mention that she had never indicated her identity at all, this group of soldiers didn't even recognize the process, so they directly called out the word general, and besides, this group of people had tattered clothes and armor, not like they were ready to go, but more like a rapid march. And the emblem on the armor...... Wait, Wind Bird? Isn't this the emblem of the Great Wall Guards?
"Why are you doing that?"
Seeing their appearance, Mulan chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition, so she took a few steps forward and asked seriously, "Tell me, is there something happening on the side of the Great Wall?" ”
"Your Excellency!"
The person who reported that his body was obviously trembling, and his tone was a little trembling, "Blue...... Blue Behemoth! The blue siege beast that once appeared in history is now outside our base. ”
