When Hua Mulan Met Zhu Yingtai

It was noon on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month when Zhu Yingtai saw Hua Mulan again.

Postmen are also people, and they also have the rule of resting and bathing once every ten days. However, the Jintang City post station is small in scale and lacks manpower. That's all.

However, the annual leave is different. There is a rule in this dynasty: every New Year's festival, from the royal family to the common people, there is a ten-day rest period.During these ten days, as long as you don't commit crimes, you can do whatever you want.

Of course, the imperial court did not stop those ordinary people who insisted on being busy. After all, it was their freedom, and being diligent was not a crime.But for the officials, they have to seal the seal and go home in these ten days, otherwise there may be imperial envoys who are full and have nothing to do.

The post station was no exception, Liu Feng had taken Liu Ke to clean the courtyard inside and out, and was waiting for the door to be closed on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, so that the father and son could go to the countryside to worship their ancestors and visit their graves.

This is always the case for diligent old postmen, let alone Zhu Yingtai, a lazy person who counts his annual leave on his fingers all day long.A string in her brain has been stretched for nearly a month, and she is more tired than studying in ethnology before.

As the end of the year approached, there were even fewer postal newspapers to and from, and there were still slow mails like Geng and Xin, which Liu Feng could solve by himself.Zhu Yingtai was also happy to dodge, there was only one day left to go to Qin Wu's house for the New Year, so she just stayed in the backyard to practice archery.

Bows and arrows are ready-made at the post station, and they were originally used to prepare for bandits, but unfortunately Hua Mulan is too famous, so Zhu Yingtai has never seen a bandit until now.In winter, it is not easy to go hunting in the woods, if you encounter a blind bear or something, you will be in trouble.

Therefore, the desire to use live animals as moving targets came to nothing, and Zhu Yingtai could only practice with the archery target in the backyard every day.However, she didn't know that archery depends on talent until she really got started.

One pot of arrows per day, twenty sticks. After practicing for more than half a month, more than half of the arrows fell outside the target. The few arrows that could hit the target were far away from the red heart. As if laughing at her crude archery skills.

Zhu Yingtai looked at the arrow feathers that were still trembling slightly, refused to admit defeat and took another arrow from the quiver, strung the string, drew the bow, and focused on the red heart.

"Go!" With a soft shout, the feather arrow flew out of the string.

However, Yu Jian did not do what she wished, and instead gave her a heavy blow.This arrow not only missed the red heart of the target, but also missed the target. The only advantage may be that it is powerful and heavy, and the end of the arrow is more than half an inch into the ground.

"Hmph." Zhu Yingtai snorted softly, not discouraged, and continued to take the arrow in her hand.

Outside the courtyard gate, Hua Mulan stopped the guards who wanted to enter with her, and pushed open the courtyard gate on her own.After all, she knew that Zhu Yingtai was a daughter, if she was doing some private things in the room with the courtyard door closed, it would be terrible if the guards saw her.

Unexpectedly, the reason why the little girl Zhu Yingtai let Liu Feng take care of the front yard was to practice archery in the backyard.

Reunited after a long absence, Hua Mulan couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Zhu Yingtai's new attire.Wearing a military uniform and a long knife, Zhu Yingtai's temperament became completely different.If we used to say that he was an independent and moonlight-like noble son in troubled times, then now Zhu Yingtai is a handsome general with a romantic attitude and strategizing.Coupled with a straight spine and focused eyes, it really has a bit of a head.Of course, the premise is to ignore the appalling results on the target.

Hua Mulan couldn't help but this thought flashed in her mind: "Today I know that killing Wei Jie is not a rumor. Is it a sign of the romance in the South?"

Facts have proved that people are visual animals, and they have a natural sense of chasing people with good looks.What's more, the world is like this, and no one conceals the pursuit of beauty.

In the south, there are fruit-throwing carts and watching and killing Wei Jie.Beidi is no exception, and there is even a superior one. The Royal Habayashi Guards Qing Yishui are all men with outstanding looks, martial arts and literary talents, not to mention the Habayashi Guards, that is to say, today's appearance is the best among them.

It is absolutely not groundless to say that the blood of the Murong family in Yan State is used to producing handsome people.

Gossip less, let's talk about the topic.

Good looks can of course add points, but this is counted as additional points and can only be added when there are basic points.As for Zhu Yingtai's basic score, Hua Mulan said she would not comment.

Judging from the arrows in the quiver, there are still six arrows left, which means that fourteen arrows have been shot.Then Hua Mulan counted, and there were six on the target, and they were all on the outer circle.This level is not even as good as a ten-year-old child in the city.Thinking about it, it shouldn't be a secret player. I have never seen a master who is so bad at martial arts, even learning horse riding.

Think about what she said to herself a few days ago?Want to join the military?Even if you want to take it, no team is willing to take it.With such a person on the battlefield, Paoze and others will not surrender their backs with peace of mind.

Fortunately, this man has other skills, and his good handwriting has attracted the treasurer.Naturally, the treatment at the military supply station is better than that at the post station, but things are more complicated, and the treasurer has a bad temper, so he is not a good person to deal with...

Here, Hua Mulan was subconsciously planning for Zhu Yingtai, carefully thinking about her words, while Zhu Yingtai had already hitched another arrow, and she was so immersed in the world of archery that she didn't even notice what was behind her. One person is already standing.

Stringing, drawing the bow, aiming at the bull's-eye... the actions repeated nearly a thousand times were once again perfectly replicated in Zhu Yingtai's hands, but there were some differences when he was about to let go.

A steady voice sounded from behind: "The foot span is three inches, the string is close to the face, the arrow is half an inch high, and the bow is drawn in a half circle." This voice seemed to have magical powers, and Zhu Yingtai couldn't help but started to move according to the voice's instructions.

After everything was finished, the voice sounded again: "Let go!"

The arrow flew out of the string, and this time, it hit the bull's-eye.

"I hit it! I hit it!" Finally, Zhu Yingtai was so overjoyed that she hit a red heart once, and jumped up immediately.

After being happy, she turned her head and saw Hua Mulan with a smile on her lips.

"I've seen... I've seen the owner of the banner." It took Zhu Yingtai a while to realize who was standing in front of her, and hurriedly saluted.It's just that the panic was full of confusion, which made the smile on the corners of Hua Mulan's mouth spread more and more, making Zhu Yingtai panicked and didn't know how to move her hands and feet.

Hua Mulan, who couldn't help laughing, walked directly in front of Zhu Yingtai, smiled and helped her up as she bent over to salute: "Don't panic, I'm just passing by to have a look."

The moment the two crossed each other, their faces turned red.Hua Mulan was belatedly reminded of her identity as a "man", while Zhu Yingtai was annoyed that Hua Mulan had misbehaved and acted so frivolously when she knew she was a daughter.

But the annoyance is only for a moment.When they separated from each other, an inexplicable regret flashed in their hearts again, as if regretting that the contact was so short.

Hua Mulan's nostrils were still filled with the scent of saponins from Zhu Yingtai's body, which kept disturbing her mind.To hide her embarrassment, Hua Mulan picked up her bow.

"Miscalculated."

This sentence made Zhu Yingtai, whose breath was full of the scent of grass from Mulan's body, break free from desire and thoughts, and refocus her attention on the bowstring.

Miscalculation, what miscalculation?This arrow hits the red heart, isn't it too good to be good?

Fortunately, Hua Mulan quickly opened her mouth to dispel her doubts: "I'm used to using eagle feather arrows on weekdays, but I forgot that the eagle feathers are heavier and the deflection will be stronger."

While speaking, Hua Mulan raised her bow, drew an arrow from the quiver, pulled the bow to the full moon, and released the arrow casually.

Zhu Yingtai: This posture is so perfunctory, can you really hit it?

The cruelty of reality is fully revealed in the next moment.

With a crisp sound, Zhu Yingtai's pupils dilated quickly in surprise, and disbelief was written all over her face.

Because of excitement, Zhu Yingtai became stumbling in her speech: "This... how did you do it?"

Hua Mulan took the bow and smiled lightly: "No one, but I'm familiar with it." Then she continued to smile and said: "Everything else is fine, but the strength of this bow is a bit weak, so you have to hold back the strength so that you don't get hurt if you don't pay attention. It broke. If not, this arrow should be able to break the previous arrow."

Zhu Yingtai was originally swallowing her saliva in order to relieve her surprise, but after hearing what Hua Mulan said, she just wanted to roll her eyes a few times.

A stone bow is already the most powerful bow in the station.Even if I put all my energy into breastfeeding, I can barely open a semicircle.This one is fine, it's an understatement to directly dislike him.When using it, you have to put in your strength so as not to tear the bow.

It's just going to piss people off.

Zhu Yingtai alone is fine, after all, it is just talking about the poor quality of the bow itself.But this master didn't like it, so he had to add a sentence to make the effect better.A random arrow has shot the effect of the arrow chasing the moon, what else do you want to do?

The latter arrow directly shot into the sword tail of the previous arrow, and the strong force that followed caused the previous arrow to pass through the straw target.

This is not good?Then what are those arrows scattered on the ground that didn't hit the target?Children playing house?

There is also that sentence, there is no one else, but you are familiar with it.Zhu Yingtai can only say that she is really capable of pretending, which is no different from the group of good students in the previous ethnology.

When you ask him why he can memorize books so well and is always praised by his husband, he will always give you a natural sentence.No need to think about it, living together in a group, next to each other, as if who doesn't know that he is cooking oil for the endorsement.She pretended to be decent, but she didn't know how much homework she had reviewed behind her back, and her eye sockets were black and blue.

hypocritical.

The more Zhu Yingtai thought about it, the angrier she became, and she silently labeled Hua Mulan as a hypocrite.

Hua Mulan adjusted the bowstring a few more times before putting it down, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Yingtai's angry face.Hua Mulan, who didn't realize that she had been labeled as a hypocrite, only felt that she saw a slightly bigger Qin Wu, and her heart felt softer: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and make a pot of boiling tea, your bole About to arrive."
