When Hua Mulan Met Zhu Yingtai

In Mobei in February, the breath turns into ice, and the wind is like a knife.Ordinary people are reluctant to go out, the richer families are burning charcoal to keep warm, and the poorer families are also hugging their dogs.In a word, no one wants to go out and be cold.Cold ears and fingers are no fun in this weather.

In such weather, Baqi left Jintang City.People are like dragons, horses are like tigers, they roll up smoke and dust all over the ground, and head towards the outside of the Great Wall.

"Brother Shuanzi, who just left the city? That armor is so shiny. If I had one, it would be worth dying for." A half-grown boy standing guard on the tower secretly pulled the sleeve of the veteran beside him, bowing his head. asked in a voice, with undisguised envy in his tone.

Before the words fell, the half-grown boy who had just opened his mouth got a thump on the head: "There are no rules, that's our boss. If you want such a good armor, it's easy, you take off the head of Minister Rouran That's fine, the governor will definitely reward you with a set."

The young man who spoke earlier had a embarrassed expression, obviously shocked by the veteran's words.You must know that it is the head of the leader of the Rouran tribe. According to legend, at the age of ten, he can hold a strong bow, drink blood like a hair, and can beat a bear and a tiger.

Not to mention one hundred and eight thousand miles away from a farmer like him who has been digging in the soil since he was a child, but it must be eighteen thousand miles away.

Seeing that the young man stopped talking, the veteran continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you just joined the army recently and tried to violate military discipline, I would have to beat you up."

"Brother Shuanzi, what is this talking about?" The young man was kind, and after the initial embarrassment, he salivated and asked the veteran for advice.In order not to commit a taboo again and be tossed by veterans.

"Huh?" The old soldier raised his eyebrows and said nothing this time because the old god was there.

The young man smiled knowingly, and took out the half bottle of spirits that he had been reluctant to drink from his bosom.

"You boy, fasten it, bring it here." The veteran snatched the wine bag with his hands, and hurriedly stuffed the wine bag into his waist before letting out a breath of white air, obviously very satisfied.

"Brother Shuanzi, tell me quickly." The veteran didn't speak for a long time, and the young man was a little anxious.You must know that strong wine is a good thing, a sip of it warms the whole body, and there is no one in the army who does not want it.

But this thing is good, but the output is low, and it is extremely food-intensive.Even if the owner of the building understands the brothers, only the knights guarding the city gate and going out on patrol can distribute such a small bag every day.The wine in the small half of the wine bag does not seem to be much, but in fact it is already the three-day quota for young people.

"What are you in a hurry for?" The veteran glanced at the young man. From the veteran's point of view, a recruit is just a recruit, and he doesn't know how to respect his seniors.In a hurry, like what words.

The young man closed his voice aggrieved, and the veteran continued: "Seeing that you are still smart, I will teach you to be a good boy today. You, a recruit, are not qualified to yell at veterans."

"Not convinced, right? I knew you were not convinced." The veteran took a breath of hot air into his hands, stomped his feet a few times to shake off the snow on his body, and then continued: "Enlisting one day late is considered late enlisting, you must obey Your superior's order and respect for your predecessors. Unless, you can be like our master."

The young man looked at the veteran with longing, which satisfied the veteran's vanity like never before.He is already in his twenties this year, and he should be disarmed and returned to the fields this year, but he is still white. He has been in the army for ten years, and he still has no official position.After returning to his hometown, he just guarded the dozens of acres of land, and worked as a part-time job for Hao Zhang's family during the slack.

But he is already very satisfied, Rouran is a cruel person who commits crimes every year.At the beginning, the fellow countrymen who enlisted with him in the army lost seven to eight out of ten.Apart from him, the remaining two people, one scout is dead or alive, presumably died on the way of investigation.Another arm was cut off by Qi Gen. If the owner hadn't been kind enough to keep him in charge of the warehouse, he would have been bleeding on the wall long ago.He is the only one with complete body parts. Just wait a few more months, and when the wheat is ripe, he will be able to return to his hometown, marry a daughter-in-law, give birth to a few fat boys, and spend the rest of his life comfortably in the interior.

The veteran named Shuanzi attributed what he said today to his age, "Actually, our boss is only two years older than you."

"Two years older than me? Sixteen plus two!" The boy thought for a while, and couldn't help screaming.

"Kid, keep your voice down, you're going to die." After Shuanzi knocked the young man hard, he looked left and right to make sure he wasn't noticed by Shi Chang, and then he lowered his voice and reprimanded him.

The boy just scratched his head and smirked.

Shuanzi was so angry that he lost his temper, and said in a bad mood: "The sixteenth of our master joined the army in place of his father. When commanding the military academy field, the master hit all ten shots. The commander was very happy, and promoted the master to his own soldier. .”

"When Seventeen went out with the guard, one man shot down three eagle shooters, and he took the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops." When Shuan Zi said this, he looked up at the sky, his tone quite fascinated.

"What did you shoot down at the age of 17?" The boy was a little dazed, interrupting Shuanzi's thoughts.

"The eagle shooter is the one whose arrows can shoot the eagle, that is what we often call the master archer."

The young man whispered: "The owner of the building is so powerful."

"That's natural, that's our landlord." Shuanzi raised his head, with an air of pride.

"Then our landlord, why did we come here? In this place, birds don't shit, and your hands are numb when you put a hoe down, and many crops can't be grown." The young man is a farmer and has a natural sensitivity to farming.

"Bah." Shuan Zi spat on the ground and said angrily, "Who says it's not? If our Banzhu had someone in the court, we wouldn't have been sent to this place. With the Banzhu's ability, when A general is fine."

Seeing the young man's eyes bursting into flames, Shuan Zi stopped the topic in time, laughed and said, "But we are just serving as soldiers for our salary, and we don't care about the affairs of those officials. Speaking of which, we have to thank those officials, if not They have no eyes, and we can't meet such a good owner."

The young man nodded with deep empathy: "Our Jintang City is the most peaceful city among the 32 beacon towers around. My mother often talked about it at home, but fortunately, she was assigned to Jintang City and met such a kind person as the owner. The corvee is light and the tax is light, the food harvested this year is already enough, and when I get my salary back, I can also dress my little sister up in colorful clothes."

"You boy." Shuan Zi stretched out his hand, the young man had learned his lesson, and shrank his head shrewdly.

"Still hiding." Shuanzi cursed, turned his palm into a fist, and punched the boy on the shoulder.

"hey-hey."

The sudden sound of shouting and cursing startled the two of them: "You two, what are you doing? Is it possible to have fun on the tower?"

Hua Mulan, who had already galloped several miles away, naturally did not know that there were two small soldiers fighting on the top of the tower and being fined for a day of strong drinking.

The farther you go, the thicker the snow is, and all the withered grass is buried, leaving only a piece of white in the world.

The snow covered the horse's hooves, and Hua Mulan, knowing that she could no longer ride a horse, reined in the reins and jumped off the horse.The Qiqi behind him also followed suit, leading the horse and following behind Hua Mulan.

The wind was very strong, and even though Hua Mulan had worn enough clothes, the wind could not stop blowing into her body, and her body soon tended to freeze.

After struggling to remove the leather boots buried in the snow, Hua Mulan wondered if she should distribute more spirits to the soldiers who were out on patrol.By the way, a woolen jacket is also a must.

Hua Mulan is not the kind of reckless man who just blindly fights on the battlefield. Ever since she knew that the team on duty today had an excuse not to patrol, she knew that there must be a big problem with the system, so she came out to find the problem herself. where.

The seven personal soldiers behind were supported by her. Although they were not as good as her, they were considered good soldiers in the army, and they were also showing signs of fatigue at the moment.If it wasn't for the kindness she treated them in the past, she would have complained long ago.

But knowing it is one thing, and punishing Wang Xiaoliu is another.Hua Mulan is well aware of the reason why compassion does not command soldiers, if she makes such a statement today, the army will definitely follow suit, and her position as a general will no longer be stable.If someone with bad intentions rebelled, she would die without a place to bury her.

Therefore, we must punish severely, and then treat others favorably, and we will receive more sergeant hearts.Power and power, the three are in luck.If she didn't have an exquisite heart, she wouldn't be able to stand out from the crowd and be promoted to the banner master within two years.

Hua Mulan was concentrating on the countermeasures, and didn't pay attention to the surrounding scene at all, until the guard pointed in front of her and said in surprise: "Banzhu, look, there is a person there."

The soldier was right, there was indeed a person walking staggeringly in the snow.But Hua Mulan felt very strange. In the cold weather, anyone who went out would like to wrap up tightly and keep his eyes outside.But the people not far away were very strange. They were wearing a blue robe, and the cold wind blew his hem around. It looked like a summer suit, and it was very cold at first glance.The style of clothing is also wrong, not like the felt hats and leather boots that people in the borderlands are used to, but more like the scribes in the south.

"Banzhu, isn't it a spy from the north? Shall we capture him and take him back for interrogation." Behind Hua Mulan, a strong man like an iron tower asked.

"Hua Mulan didn't take it seriously, she raised her horsewhip and smiled lightly: "If the Rouran people send this kind of person to be a meticulous worker, the good times will be over.In my opinion, this person is probably the young master of a merchant who smuggled out of customs. The business failed and was ransacked by horse bandits. "

"The general is still wise." The strong man like a tower echoed with a smile.

"Stop flattering, go and get the person back. After finding out it's the young master, send someone to deliver the letter."

A bearded soldier hesitated and said: "Banzhu, we are short of manpower, so..."

"Stupid, look at this young master's attire, he is either rich or expensive. If we find it, we will have to get a reward. A little leakage from his fingers is enough for us to eat a few meals during the New Year."

The guards followed Hua Mulan out of the blood, and they believed in Hua Mulan's judgment. When they heard that there was meat to eat, the eyes of the men lit up, and they rushed to the blue-robed man in a hurry Go, there were a few people who walked too hastily and stumbled and gnawed on the snow, but Hua Mulan, who was walking unhurriedly, walked in the front.

Getting closer, getting closer.Hua Mulan, who was able to shoot the eagle shooter down, naturally had outstanding eyesight, so she looked up and down the future hunter, and naturally she didn't miss the two small holes on her ears.

"Woman?" Hua Mulan was taken aback by the thought that popped up in her mind, seeing that the man in blue robe was about to collapse on the snow.Hua Mulan jumped up and hugged the man in her arms.
