Chapter 52: The moon falls on the willow tops, about five years later
King Lanling's words stopped abruptly, and he looked at Mulan with some awareness, and Mulan naturally had the same expression, looking back at King Lanling frankly.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Hua Mulan lightly opened her lips and teeth, and her voice like a golden jade echoed in the tavern: "Although I am not one of the parties involved in the tragedy back then, I always feel that a war broke out between the two countries back then, and it was very abnormal to turn against each other, and I always felt that there must be something strange in it." ”
King Lanling nodded subconsciously, over the years, he had not been suspicious, but after all, he had seen the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty attack the royal capital, no matter how suspicious he was, after all, seeing is believing!
Besides, this matter is not trivial, it is not that I have not traced the relevant information, but after all, my ability is limited, and those who have a heart can hide it, and the results of the investigation for many years are almost zero.
What the king of Lanling is burdened with is the hatred of the country and the family! Without any clues, he can only ignore the many strange points, and only by pinning hatred can King Lanling grit his teeth and persist to this day.
Over the years, he has forced himself to be ruthless, forcing himself to become the most despicable person he has ever been, a villain who can only survive in the shadows and look for opportunities to sow discord in the dark!
However, no matter how many things you will do against your will, no matter how much you despise what you are doing now, as long as you can take revenge on the shameful things, no matter how chilling, no matter how dirty and dirty, you will not hesitate to do it.
"If, if you are willing to believe me, give me five years, I am willing to use all my resources and abilities to thoroughly investigate this incident back then!" Mulan's eyes reflected a resolute and determined light, and she continued, "However, I need you to stop your current behavior and stop doing any more damage to the Great Wall Guards!" How is it?! ”
When King Lanling heard this, he was stunned at first, and instinctively wanted to refute, but after a pause, he swallowed the words of rebuttal.
He picked up his wine glass and sniffed the faint sweetness of the pear blossom brew, but his brain was trying to think about Mulan's words.
Over the years, the biggest realization is that war is cruel and evil, and ordinary people are the victims of war. The last thing I want to see is war.
However, only by provoking a war can the dream in his heart be realized, otherwise, he will have no shame to face his parents under Jiuquan, the generals and soldiers who died in that war, and many innocent people!
However, in case, if there are really other twists and turns, in case his hatred for many years is all vain, in case the Tang Dynasty and Mang Yanguo are being used, then ...... Then if you really destroy the united front of the Great Wall Guards and successfully provoke a war, then you will be a sinner for the ages!
Moreover, what Mulan said did not seem to be fake, and it made her suspicious.
"What do you think?" Hua Mulan looked at the man in front of her with a serious expression.
A look of hesitation flashed on his pale face.
"Over the years, I'm afraid you also have a very clear understanding of what war means, right? For those innocent civilians, war is the thing they hate the most, and how many families have been torn apart and wives separated because of war? If you think about it, I've been staying at the Great Wall, so you don't have to rush to reply to me. Mulan said loudly.
King Lanling was silent, the oil lamp in the tavern was burning darker and darker, and the lamp oil was getting less and less, Hua Mulan pulled out her short sword from her waist, picked it lightly, and sharpened it with her backhand, and the wick that burst with sparks had been cut off neatly.
With this handsome kung fu, Mulan must be a person above 10,000 people.
This woman, I'm afraid she hasn't suffered a lot over the years, right?
What kind of firm will can make her still have such a pure and fiery heart in troubled times? King Lanling looked at the shadow on the ground of Mulan and thought silently.
The two sat silently opposite each other, neither of them spoke again, and the air was filled with a congested silence.
Before I knew it, it had already passed the third watch. Hua Mulan looked at the moon outside the window, a little unable to sit still, in half an hour, the Great Wall guards will change the guard at night, and if she doesn't go back, I'm afraid it will attract too much attention from others, if someone asks, Mulan doesn't want to tell lies, and she can't tell the truth.
Hua Mulan's actions of looking up at the window naturally fell into the eyes of King Lanling, he was very aware of Mulan's current worries, after all, he had been active in the Great Wall Guards for so long at night, and the rules in the Great Wall Guards, what King Lanling knew, I am afraid are more detailed and accurate than more than ninety percent of the guards!
Before Mulan could speak, King Lanling asked the question that had been lingering in his heart.
"Why do you want to believe me?"
Yes, a ghost who destroys the harmony of the Great Wall guards everywhere, a ghost who indirectly killed her commander, a ghost who almost puts himself in doubt and danger, how credible is what he said?!
Hua Mulan looked at King Lanling's eyes fixedly, and said calmly: "Because of intuition and confidence." ”
"Intuition? Assertive? I would like to hear about it. ”
"My instincts tell me that you're probably not doing these things out of your own will; My self-confidence tells me that if something goes wrong with my intuition and you deceive me, I'm not afraid, it's a big deal to kill you. If you can get away with it, even if you chase it to the edge of the cape, I won't let you go! ”
"Hahahaha! You can say that again! You can say that again! If half of the men under the world could be as good as you, the world would not be so chaotic! King Lanling high-fived and laughed!
"I, but legend!" Mulan's eyes burned, she looked at the lights in the tavern, and said word by word.
"Well, I'm willing to choose to believe you! We said okay, five years from now at midnight, right here in this tavern, I'll wait for your message. If you didn't track down the truth of the facts, or if you knew that it was the Tang Dynasty that was insidious and cunning, lost its conscience, tore up the contract, and destroyed my country, what should you do? ”
"Mulan has an oath here: if Datang really does such a thing, I will take the initiative to resign as the general of the Great Wall Guard, no matter what you do to Datang, I will not interfere!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The palms of two people hit each other in mid-air, this is an agreement between the true heroes of the troubled times! No one will doubt the sincerity of the other, and no one will break their oath.
"Well, there's a meeting later!" Hua Mulan put down a piece of silver on the table, hugged her fist at King Lanling, put on her black cloak, and turned around to leave.
