"What about people?" Hua Mulan was surprised, looking at the surrounding houses and many simple and dilapidated tents, she took a closer look around, and said in her heart: "This is obviously the edge of the city, how can it ······ Why did you gather so many people? Didn't you even have a guard soldier? Ouch yo ······" I almost tripped over the man who fell to the ground motionless.

"You······ You trampled on my husband!" An old woman suddenly rushed over and pulled Mulan, Mulan looked back at the man who fell to the ground and almost tripped over herself, only to see that this person looked very old, and fell to the ground as if he was dead without a trace of breath. Mulan was startled, and hurriedly leaned over to probe his snort, but the person was really dead, just a corpse.

"This ······" Mulan was wondering, and the old woman grabbed her even more, shouting, "She trampled my husband to death!" "She trampled my husband to death!" "Your husband?" Mulan said in disbelief: "You are more than thirty years older than him, and he is still your husband? No, I didn't kill him, I hardly touched him!" The old woman didn't care so much, and shouted at the top of her voice. A large number of people had fallen asleep around, and when the old woman yelled at her, all their eyes lit up and they gathered around together.

Hua Mulan looked at so many onlookers, and hurriedly defended: "I barely ran into this gentleman, I just tripped over him, he is dead, and it has nothing to do with me." "No way! My husband was alive and well! You trampled him to death!" the old woman cried out unrelentingly. The surrounding onlookers even pointed to Mulan and said: "If you kill someone, you have to compensate!

Hua Mulan looked at the group of people in amazement, and defended: "It's really not me who hurt me, please believe me!" said and tore off her robe vigorously, and said to the old woman: "Aren't you spewing blood? I don't know you, why did you hurt me?" "Who hurt you?" The old woman's eyes flashed with greed, staring directly at every place on Mulan's robe that might be valuable, and said with a smile: "You have to lose money! I won't go too far, twenty taels of gold is enough." ”

"Are you dreaming!" Hua Mulan saw that she was blackmailing money, and suddenly became angry, and said: "Don't believe her, she is a moneymaker!" Unexpectedly, instead of listening to her, the surrounding people all helped the old woman.

"You liar!" "Who will believe you as a stranger?" "If you kill someone, you have to pay money, and you are not allowed to repay the debt!" "Who do you want to deceive when you kill people in broad daylight?" "No one will believe you!"

Mulan listened to everyone's shouts, and her face suddenly became gloomy, as if the most painful and unwilling past flashed back in front of her eyes.

"Mulan, I don't believe you anymore!You go!" "Get out of here! We don't have teammates like you!" "Hehe, I'm afraid you've taken refuge in An Lushan and want to harm us, right?" When fighting with An Lushan's rebels, the scene of Hua Mulan rescuing Jiao Zhongqing, Liu Lanzhi and others seemed to be vivid, and the scolding in front of her was so similar to that time, especially the words "deception" and "belief" pierced Mulan as deeply in her heart as sharp knives.

"That's enough!" Hua Mulan looked up to the sky and roared, "brushed" out the heavy sword on her back, swept towards the slowly approaching crowd around, and said, "You are not blind, why do you not distinguish between right and wrong?" The old woman seemed to be not afraid at all, and grabbed his heavy sword and said: "If you don't give money, it's okay to keep this sword, and you can keep all the clothes on your body." The more Mulan listened, the more angry she became, and she shook it violently, how could this old woman's strength compare with her, and she was immediately thrown to the ground.

As if waiting for her to do so, the crowd of onlookers scolded and rushed forward, scrambling as if they were doing righteous and courageous. Hua Mulan flicked her cloak and swept it straight on the faces of several people around her, and then swept it with her heavy sword mercilessly, stabbing them directly in the legs. Even if she didn't kill her, she just scraped down a few people, and the crowd was rushing forward, and as soon as they heard the screams, they all stopped.

Hua Mulan's eyes were a little shocked when she looked at these people, but she still couldn't suppress the greedy look, as if she was a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of their hungry wolves. She took a deep breath, kicked her legs, flew high, stepped on the nearby wall, and fell far into the center of the city.

When the middle-aged men saw Mulan running away, they all punched and kicked the old woman: "It's useless! You can't even fool people! You women are all waste!"

Mulan fell to the ground in some shock, wondering if what she had experienced was true. Suddenly, someone gently tugged on her trouser legs, and she vigilantly pushed back two steps, only to see a little boy covered in dust and even his face covered with soot.

"Sister······ Can it ······ Lend me some money······" The little boy was a little shy, but still firm.

"What?" Hua Mulan was frightened by the greedy and fierce eyes of the group of people just now, and she was also wary of the boy in front of her, and said, "What are you going to borrow money for?" The little boy lowered his head and said, "My mother······ My mother was sick, and my father went to borrow money and came back, but he hasn't come back yet. My mother······ If my mother has no money for treatment, then ······ It's too late······ Sister, can you ······"

"Of course you can. Hua Mulan seemed to feel a trace of real warmth, bent down and reached out to touch his head, and said, "If it's really for filial piety, then of course I'm willing to help." As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his bosom and handed it to the little boy, saying, "Take it and save your mother." ”

"Uh-huh. The little boy took the gold very happily, nodded to Mulan, and said, "Thank you, sister, I ······ When my father comes back, I'll pay you back, right here tomorrow. Then he turned around and trotted away. Hua Mulan looked at his back, nodded with a smile, and said, "I have always believed that there should always be some real warmth in this world." ”

"Do you think you can get this money back after you give it out?" King Lanling appeared behind her at some point. When Mulan looked back, she saw that he seemed to have returned to normal, and she was surprised: "Where did you go just now? ”

"There's nothing strange about it, Jinting City is like that. King Lanling said: "There has always been no sincerity here. It's full of deception, greed, and plunder, as you've probably seen it all. I am afraid that the gold you have lent out will not be returned. ”

"What do you mean?" Mulan said, "You mean that kid lied to me?" "No. Baili Xuance said: "I think that kid looks very honest." ”

King Lanling glared at Baili Xuance and said, "What do you kid know? The reason why I have never brought you here is because I don't want you to be infected with the breath here." There is a great divide in class status, and all people discriminate against poverty, women, and blood. In Jinting City, those who have no money must have no status, and no matter how much they fight, it is useless. Also, if you are a woman, you deserve to be a slave and a prostitute, and you can't even do normal things. The last is the bloodline, here is the mixed blood of humans and demon seeds, if you want to be an official and powerful, you must have the blood of the demon seed, if it is just a pure human, you deserve to be an inferior person. ”

"Why is this so?" Hua Mulan said indignantly: "Such backward ideas should have been eliminated earlier! Also, are these discriminated people willing to live their lives in silence and doing nothing?

"Haven't you seen all these people?" King Lanling said lightly: "Didn't you just escape from the chaos? Do you think they are going to fight? Don't even bother to care about the corpses of their own families, what are they fighting for? You can only exploit those newcomers, and you are also powerful, otherwise you will have to wait to be stripped naked if you want to come out." ”

"You ······" Hua Mulan felt that she couldn't argue, so she had to lower her tone and said, "Perhaps, this is just the most spineless group of people." "No, no, no, this is just the tip of the iceberg. King Lanling said unceremoniously: "The inferior people in the entire Golden Court City are like this. In fact, they did not start like this, but the early struggles made them understand that the struggle had no effect, and with their skills, they could not confront the leadership class at all. So they decadent, they gave up, they gave up on themselves, so from generation to generation, they became what they are now. Even children are influenced by their parents to become unscrupulous people in order to survive, and of course, the means of unscrupulous means are hardly honorable behaviors. ”

"Impossible, are you saying that the kid also lied to me?" Hua Mulan didn't believe it, and Baili Xuance also said: "Master, a little child won't be like this." ”

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see if he will come back. King Lanling said, took off his fist blade and mask, and said, "I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you." ”

"Where are you going?" Hua Mulan is the first time to see the true face of King Lanling, the handsome facial features are almost what she has never seen in her life, such a handsome and beautiful man, but his demeanor is full of exhaustion, which can't help but make people feel very sorry.

Although Hua Mulan has seen all kinds of chic and handsome men in her life, the incomparable appearance and temperament of King Lanling is still unique, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "You······ If you hadn't been so worried, you wouldn't be like this. "What do you mean?" King Lanling put away his mask and fist blade, and said, "What should I look like?" ”

"I can't tell. Hua Mulan thought for a while and said, "But it must be much more energetic than now, the Golden Court, the Desert in the Clouds, the Great Wall, the Duhu Mansion, and the Jade City, there are still too many things to think about." ”

"It was all my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you. King Lanling said: "Anyway, I won't give up attacking the Great Wall, so don't hint at me." Just wait here, I'll go and see if the kid will come back in a day." Hua Mulan didn't want to hint at him anything, but when she saw him so rude, she was also very unhappy, so she didn't say anything more. Baili Xuance looked at the king of Lanling and said, "Master······ You go early and come back early, I'm ······ I don't know the way. ”

"Silly boy. King Lanling shook his head and said, "I really shouldn't have brought you here." As he spoke, he rushed forward and leaped out far away, without a trace.

"Sister Mulan. Baili Xuance looked at Mulan's sullen appearance and asked, "What are you thinking?" "Hmm?" Hua Mulan froze and said, "I'm wondering, why did the Eye of the Storm sweep through the entire cloud desert but didn't attack this Golden Courtyard City? What kind of secrets are there in this Golden Courtyard City?"

"I don't know. Baili Xuance also said: "Master just said that this is an excellent place to defend against the eye of the storm, but why the eye of the storm will not attack here, he doesn't know why." ”

"Now that the eye of the storm is raging in the desert of the clouds, I am afraid that anyone who wants to survive will have to take refuge here. Mulan thought for a moment and said, "Then this place should have been overcrowded for a long time······ Let's go, go to the high places and have a look. Without waiting for Baili Xuance to reply, he also rushed out. Baili Xuance hurriedly followed: "Hey, we're ······ We don't know the way. ”

"The roads are all out of the road!" Hua Mulan said lightly: "Even the King of Lanling doesn't know the road as soon as he comes." As he spoke, he exerted his legs and slashed on the wall next to him, and soon reached a high place, and then thrust his light sword into the city wall, and turned over to the side of the city wall. I saw that there were almost no garrisons in this Jinting City in terms of border defense, and there were only guards guarding the three city gates. The structure of the castle tower is also dilapidated, and it is easy to tell that it has not been repaired for a long time.

"Is it because these poor people live in this place?" Mulan couldn't help but shake her head as she looked at the shabby and almost ruinous appearance outside the city.

At this time, Baili Xuance also threw himself up with a flying sickle, and he looked in the direction of the city and couldn't help but admire. Mulan turned her head to look at it, and couldn't help but let out a "huh". I saw that Jinting City was solidly divided into five rings by four high walls from the outside to the inside, and the architectural scenery in each ring presented a different appearance, and the people's costumes were also different. The atmosphere of life in different rings is also different, the more inward, the more prosperous and extravagant the scene, and the more outward, the more poor and depressed and lifeless.

"This ······ Is it so hierarchical?" Baili Xuance couldn't help but sigh: "Even when you go to other places in the city, there are people who take care of it?" Hua Mulan said angrily: "Who set the rules for this? Let's go! We have to go and see!"
