[The Legend of Mulan] Daughter Love

As for Xie Qichen asking Zhiqing to go to Pingcheng with Mulan, Babeican would naturally not object, it was a matter of family planning, if the connection can be successfully completed, it would be reasonable to ask Zhiqing to help.After getting Babeican's approval, Xie Qichen took Zhiqing and set off immediately.When leaving Luoshen Manor, Zhiqing was surprised to find that Mulan was waiting outside in the carriage.Leaving Wufeng Valley in such a hurry, Zhiqing looked at Xie Qichen's expression, he seemed to be a little nervous and dignified, which made Pingcheng and his party more mysterious and uneasy.

The carriage was driving on the official road, escorted by a group of soldiers on both sides, Xie Qichen was riding a white horse, followed by two captains leading the way.A group of people galloped forward, and Zhiqing, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that the bones in her whole body were about to fall apart, so she couldn't help sighing.Mulan, who was sitting beside her, looked at the flashing scenery outside the window for a while, then turned her head to look at Zhiqing in bewilderment, and said:

"General Xie only said that he would bring us into the palace to meet a master weaving and embroidery master, but he didn't say who it was, and he left in such a hurry that we didn't even use the medicinal soup specially sent by Doctor Luo and Xiao Sanzi to soak our hands."

Zhiqing was also very puzzled. Grandpa only said to let her go to Pingcheng with General Xie, but since it was for the sake of continuity and family planning, wouldn't Mulan alone be enough?There was no time to ask why because of the haste along the way, but now there are only two people in the carriage with Mulan, Zhiqing thought of something, "Mulan, did anything special happen when I got the acupuncture treatment?"

Mulan's face froze, she looked away and said, "No..."

In front of Zhiqing, Mulan had never lied and would not lie, so seeing her expression, she knew there was something hidden in it.That day when she was hit by a long embroidery needle, the kind of bone-cutting pain couldn't make people stay awake, but Zhiqing vaguely remembered that she seemed to see a figure in armor approaching her, if that It's not an illusion... "Isn't Dr. Luo the one who saved me?"

Mulan opened her mouth, but remained silent for a long time.Mother said, before Zhiqing married, some things should be ignored, but now that Zhiqing has found out, what should I do?Mulan broke her heart and decided to tell the story, "Zhiqing... General Xie also did it to save you..."

"Xie Qichen?" Zhiqing asked tentatively, seeing Mulan nod her head, she felt a buzzing in her head, and immediately lost her response.

She is not a pedantic person, let alone to save lives, but why is it Xie Qichen, because it is him, Zhiqing feels uncomfortable all over for some reason.She tried her best to be calm and calm, maybe she really shouldn't ask about the injury.In the carriage, only the sound of wheels being crushed could be heard, and Mulan didn't say anything when she saw that Zhiqing was looking out of the window as usual.

Wufeng Valley is thousands of miles away from Pingcheng, Zhiqing and Mulan can occasionally take a nap in the carriage, but Xie Qichen and others are non-stop around the clock.On the way, they only took a short rest at a post house, then continued on their way, and finally arrived at Pingcheng on the evening of the third day.Pingcheng deserves to be the capital city of Wei State, the city wall is extremely strong and heavily guarded.Xie Qichen sat majestically on his horse, and the school captain beside him, Wu Kui, quickly took out his token from his waist and handed it to the gatekeeper.

The general immediately bowed his head and saluted, "General Weiyuan." He waved his hand, and the soldiers at the gate of the city immediately let him go.

Zhiqing looked at the towering city gate from behind the curtain of the car, feeling a little emotional in her heart.She was in a corner, and she never thought that she would have the opportunity to come to the capital of Wei State today.The prosperity of Pingcheng is not comparable to that of Wufeng Valley. There are countless restaurants and shops on both sides of the street. Although the sky is getting late, the shouts are still heard. The bluestone road here is more than twice as wide as that in Wufeng Valley, and there are too many people. Many, it is really the imperial city at the foot of the emperor, which is amazing.

A group of people walked slowly, turned a few streets, and they came to a wider bluestone road.There are not many pedestrians on this street, but most of them are well-dressed, and occasionally a carriage passes by. There are no shops on both sides of the street, and the houses are all separated.Zhiqing thought, maybe this road is the road leading to the palace, and the nearby houses should be the official residence.

The carriage finally stopped, Zhiqing and Mulan got out of the carriage, and there was a big mansion in front of them.There are two stone lions in front of the courtyard. On the two wide copper and black gates, there are five gold lacquered characters of "General Weiyuan's Mansion", and there are signatures and big seals beside them, which seem to be plaques bestowed by the emperor.They were taken aback by the majestic mansion, and they didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment.

Before Xie Qichen entered the city, he had sent someone to his home to say hello, so someone came to greet him soon, "General, you are back." An old man with gray hair in his 50s walked over quickly.

"This is Lao Xia, the housekeeper of my house. It's getting late today, you two can stay here with peace of mind, and you will enter the palace early tomorrow morning." Xie Qichen said a few words, and walked in with big strides.

Lao Xia looked serious, but he was still very polite to Zhiqing and Mulan. He reached out to lead the way: "You two girls please."

"Uncle Xia, you're being polite." Zhiqing and Mulan nodded together, and followed Xie Qichen into the General's Mansion.

Zhiqing couldn't tell how big the General's Mansion was. As soon as they walked in, they were led by Xia Bo to go around, and then went through the gate for two months to a separate courtyard, where they lived tonight.Taking into account that there were other soldiers in the mansion, Xie Qichen placed Zhiqing and Mulan in a side courtyard far from the front courtyard.

But Zhiqing always felt that the whole general's mansion had a solemn and cold feeling, and the population was not large. Just now Xia Bo said, "The general should like to do things by himself, and there are not many maidservants in the mansion. If there is something wrong, I will look at the two." Girl, forgive me' and the like.From this point of view, General Xie's family has no female relatives, no wonder the room they live in is clean but less elegant.After a long journey, Mulan and Zhiqing were also tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest, even the dinner was delivered to the room by the general's mansion.

The moonlight was like a hook, Zhiqing didn't want to go to bed too early, so she walked out of the room and sat on the porch looking at the stars in the sky.Even though Pingcheng is the capital of the kingdom, Zhiqing still misses the tranquility of Wufeng Valley after the initial novelty. She has only been out for a few days and is worried about whether her grandfather, who is alone in Luoshen Manor, will feel lonely.She couldn't help lowering her head, sighed leisurely, and suddenly found an elongated figure cast on the ground by the courtyard gate.

"Who is it?" she asked softly.

"It's me." A deep voice sounded, hesitating for a moment before walking in.

Zhiqing stood up, "Thank you, General." She was looking up, but thinking that it was him who took the needle for her, Zhiqing couldn't help turning her head to avoid his gaze.

Back in Pingcheng, Xie Qichen has been worrying about entering the palace tomorrow. He did not return to the capital according to the order. He just planned to take the risk to ask His Majesty tomorrow for the sake of connecting with his relatives. Xin, he really wasn't sure His Majesty would agree.But he had already spent so many people's painstaking efforts in weaving and kissing the map, and he couldn't bear to let him down, so he could only give it a desperate try.

Unknowingly, he walked to the other courtyard, Xie Qichen didn't expect to see Zhiqing in the courtyard, but unexpectedly he was discovered when he lost his mind for a moment.He approached slowly, looked at Zhiqing and asked, "How are you and Mulan living?"

"Thank you General for your concern, Xia Bo has already arranged it very thoughtfully." Zhi Qing didn't look into Xie Qichen's eyes, but heard something strange in his tone. "General Xie, you seem to have something on your mind?"

He sighed, and said rather worriedly: "When I enter the palace tomorrow, I'm not sure that His Majesty will agree to meet that person, it's just a try."

"The general is referring to the master embroidery weaver?" Seeing him nodding, Zhiqing couldn't help frowning. It seems that the person's status is unusual, otherwise why bother.Just seeing Xie Qichen frowning deeply and worryingly, Zhiqing had no choice but to comfort him: "Although the general cares about making peace, you should try your best in everything but seek peace of mind. To stop the war."

Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing with piercing eyes, then turned his eyes to the night sky where the stars were shining, and sighed: "I have been in the army for nearly twenty years and have experienced countless battles. Blood flowed like a river... If peace can be exchanged for peace, Xie Qichen will spare no expense. One day there will be no more wars, and I also hope that I can take off my heavy armor and live an ordinary life."

Xie Qichen who said these words had a calm and gentle look in his eyes.Zhiqing looked at his side face, and was in a daze for a while.Xie Qichen calmed down and turned his head to look at Zhiqing, "Rest early, I won't bother you anymore."

After a night without dreams, Zhiqing slept very peacefully in the General's Mansion.After getting ready in the morning, Xie Qichen took them to the palace.

In the majestic and majestic palace, people can't help but feel a sense of dread when entering the first palace gate.Passing through the palace walls, Zhiqing and Mulan followed Xie Qichen and knelt under the endless white jade steps.

"General Weiyuan Xie Qichen begs to see His Majesty the Emperor of Wei..." The deep voice reverberated outside the hall, as if an echo could be heard.

The author has something to say: I always felt strange when I was watching TV dramas. According to common sense, Wufeng Valley should not be very close to Pingcheng, especially in ancient times when transportation was relatively scarce, how could it be possible to go back and forth in a day.I checked the border map of the Northern Wei Dynasty on Baidu. The territory is north of the Yangtze River. The capital Pingcheng is today’s Datong in Shanxi. According to the silk culture of Wufeng Valley, I think its location should be in Anhui Province (of course, I don’t know the geography. Well, it is very possible that the inference is wrong), if you want to calculate this way, the distance between these two places must be more than a thousand miles.

The number of words in today's chapter is not too many. I will be on duty at work until [-] o'clock tonight and I will not go home until [-] o'clock. Please be considerate.
