after waking up.

Chapter 69

In addition to not falling behind on his own job, Mulan's research status lasted for several months, spanning directly from spring to autumn.

The rectification of Dirga's military headquarters was completed in the early summer. In the second half of the process, Mulan just understood the process and results, and did not participate too much. It was just that the only remaining sister of the Nia family "passed away" in the middle. After a while, public opinion exploded again.

A total of more than 100 low-level military officers and officials were imprisoned, more than a dozen middle-level military officers and government officials were sentenced to death, and two senior officials resigned and retired.

However, the vast majority of the families of the soldiers who died before still did not receive the full pension. If the files could be found, they could only return a small amount of relics that still existed, and reissue part of the pension.

But even so, the major newspapers in the country still reported on this matter, and praised the Queen. It was also the Queen's grace to attribute this matter to the Queen's wise handling. People's hearts, even if the families who failed to receive the pension in full, are already grateful to the Queen who can get the part, thinking that the Queen has upheld justice for them and this part can be recovered.

Moore also saw the newspapers. He saw the positivity of this rectification operation, but also saw the sadness in it. The first is the sadness of the empire. No matter how big the problem is, it can be diluted because of the connection between the powerful and the powerful. ; The second is the grief of the bottom, the self-interests have not been preserved, but they are grateful to the rulers who have gained substantial benefits in this rectification.

For this reason, Moore anonymously submitted a manuscript to the newspaper, but he did not pass it. However, two of his books have been quietly published, the first is called "Capital" and the second is called "The Poverty of the People", which has not caused any problems for the time being. Social repercussions, but Mulan knew these books would never go to waste.

In autumn, in mid-October, the traditional hunting season for the Dirga royal family, Nishiriel, who has only been on the throne for a year but already has a certain power, held this hunting ceremoniously, and many dignitaries received invitations.

Mulan, who has been regarded as a confidant by the Queen, also received the invitation as a matter of course.

Digao is located in a plain area, but there is a large forest and a small hill dozens of miles south of the city.

It seems that because of the maelstrom and the changes in the world, this year's mid-October, like last year, was cooler than usual, and even colder in the mountains and forests.

Under the leadership of Nisherier, groups of hunters entered the mountain one after another.

Today's queen does not wear those gorgeous clothes, but has a Dolly style. She dresses very skillfully, but the clothes still have to be folded lace, and the style is obviously different from that of men's clothes.

Nishiriel rode forward, accompanied by some close officials and guards who were good at riding, and of course Mulan.

The queen's riding skills are very skilled, and she can't see any signs of difficulty, which also surprised Mulan a little.

The mountain wind blew through and brought up Nishiriel's long hair. When she reached out to touch her, many of the surrounding noble children were all fascinated.

"Master Jones, the Jones family was one of the thirteen knight families. You must be very good at horsemanship and marksmanship. This time you and I are separated, and you must help me win the hunting victory!"

"Your Majesty will do your best!"

Mulan was carrying a shotgun, his cane was tied to the harness, and the waist inside the trench coat was a rounded holster.

"Your Majesty, although Your Majesty Jones is from a family of knights, he may not be familiar with hunting. Your Majesty, please don't underestimate the enemy, we are also prepared!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will not admit defeat easily."

Several princes and some big nobles are also not to be outdone. There is no rule that the king must be the first in the annual hunt. Instead, the winning team will be rewarded by the king.

"Hahaha, then you have to work hard!"

Nisherier is very aware of Mulan's ability. Even if you don't need the means learned in Castle Black, Mulan's marksmanship and riding skills are first-class, and hunting has a big advantage.

"Okay, it's almost time now. Let's warm up on the first day. We all have to go back to the camp before dark, so let's start now."

Following the Queen's order, a row of soldiers in the rear blew the big horns.

"duooo---duooooo---"

"Let's go!" "Ha!" "Drive~"

"Let's go!" "Quick, quick!"

As soon as the horn sounded, the teams of all parties rushed to the mountains and forests, as if they were not hunting, but horse racing.

However, the mountain forest is very large, and the teams that had just chased after each other soon dispersed into the mountains and forests.

The queen's horse was very fast, and Mulan, who shouldered the responsibility of protecting the queen with the guards, could only try to catch up, and the other close ministers couldn't keep up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen, please don't ride so fast, let the guards drive out the prey so that they can shoot—"

Mulan shouted beside the queen, the latter's speed gradually slowed down, and there was a flush on her face, I don't know if it was because of excitement or the cold wind.

"You know, Mr. Jones, I also want to release it. I want to ride like this without any scruples. I've been looking forward to this hunt for a long time."

It seemed that he was suffocated, and a smile appeared on Mulan's face.

"I hope Your Majesty is happy, guards, split up to drive the prey, we can't lose."

"Yes!" "Ha~"

There were gunshots in the distance, and it seemed that a team had encountered their prey so quickly.

"The sound of gunfire will scare the prey into the mountains. It seems that we have to speed up, let's go!"

Nishiriel shouted excitedly and increased the speed again, and the speed of the entire team also increased.

More than ten minutes later, the first batch of prey began to appear in front of them. A few panicked deer. This was considered a big prey. Nishiriel took the shotgun handed over by the guard and shot it.

After the "Bang~" shot, the recoil caused the Queen to sway on the horse's back a few times, and then the second shot of "Bang~" stabilized the Queen's center of gravity a lot.

After the third shot, the deer were moving away, and the queen missed.

"Crap, they're going, Lord Jones, come on!"

"As your majesty!"

Mulan put his legs on the horse's belly, flicked his cane, and the horses ran wildly with their hoofs neighing. After running out a hundred paces, Mulan pulled the trigger with a shotgun in one hand.

"Bang~"

A deer in the distance fell in response.

Mulan rode and chased for a distance, pulling the reins in his hand, and the horses stood up. In the process, Mulan pulled the bolt and fired another shot.

"Bang~"

The leading stag fell in the rush, and the herd immediately became chaotic.

"here you go!"

Nishiriel was very excited, as if she had hit it herself, and several guards were also riding horses to chase the deer, and by the way, they brought back the prey that Mulan hit.

"Amazing!" "Good marksmanship, worthy of the Thirteen Swords of the Empire."

Several close officials were completely reduced to background boards.

"Roar-"

There was a loud roar from the other side of the mountain, and some people's mounts were shaking uneasy. Mulan rode back to the queen's side, looking for the direction of the sound.

"Master Jones, this must be a beast in the mountains, help me hunt it!"

Mulan frowned.

"Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this voice."

There were also close officials on the side to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the camp, this"

"Roar--"

The roar became louder, and after about ten seconds, there was a loud "boom" from the north, followed by a burst of gunshots.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" "Boom".
In Mulan's ears, the sound of heavy footsteps seemed to be in his heart, and it was getting closer.

"Protect the queen to leave, it's not a beast, it's a monster—"

Mulan shouted anxiously, and the horses of the surrounding people were all messed up. In the north of the line of sight, there was a dusty sky, trees fell, and the monster hadn't approached, and it had already shown a terrifying power.

A man in a cloak suddenly appeared on the path of the monster without warning, squatted slightly with fists in both hands, and then burst out suddenly, rushing towards the monster at a rapid pace.

Mulan's heart was slightly relieved, and there was indeed an extraordinary person protecting him.

"boom--"

The huge monster's momentum was actually blocked by the small body, and the surrounding trees were lifted up in a circle with the soil layer, and more intense sand and dust erupted.

"Protect the Queen to retreat!"

"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~".
The movement in the distance is getting bigger and bigger, as if two beasts are fighting.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Mulan slammed towards Nisshurrier and threw her directly from the horse. A tree trunk burst out from the impact, smashing Nisseriel's mount, and almost touching Mulan and Nisseriel. Er's scalp brushed.

"Someone's going to kill me?"

"Your Majesty, hurry up."

Mulan took the horse brought by the guards, helped Nishirier up, and then got on a horse himself, and hurried to the direction of the camp with the queen.

"Roar--"

The monster's roar suddenly became rapid, and the battle was more and more exaggerated. A bone-chilling chill shrouded, and fog began to appear around.

Mulan led the queen's mount, which was equivalent to driving two horses to run wild, but he suddenly realized that the loud noise of the struggle had disappeared for more than ten seconds.

'No, it's coming around! '

When Mulan turned back, he could already see a pair of red eyes in the distance in the thin mist. These eyes had a strong purpose and made him clearly aware of an absurd reality.

'Is it coming for me? '

"Roar--"

The roar of the monster sounded, and at the same time, a thick mist was sprayed out, and the sound of heavy footsteps was approaching rapidly, far exceeding the speed of the horse.

Mulan gritted her teeth and let go of the reins of the queen's mount.

"Your Majesty, hurry up!"

"Crack~"

The cane slammed the queen's horse's hip, the horse jumped out in the queen's scream, and Mulan turned the horse's head and fled in the other direction. Demonstrate a frantic resonance state.

"Roar--"

The roar suddenly became terrifyingly close. Mulan was covered in sweat and hair, and his pupils were dilated. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of huge scarlet eyes close at hand.

what?
"Bang~"

Mulan and his horse were swept away by the monster, and Nishiriel in front of him stabilized the horse, but when he turned around, he saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Mulan—"

On the other side, the moment Mulan was attacked by the monster, his whole body was already in a state of being wrapped in black shadows, the fangs in his hand had been drawn out, and the whole person was propped up in front of the monster's forehead, under the strong wind pressure and The tremendous force of hitting trees from time to time.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom".
Mulan's back was constantly being smashed by big trees, and his body was suffering enormous pain from muscles, bones, and internal organs, but the shadows on his body continued to spread, and his body slowly swayed from the monster's forehead in this impact. Get up before.

'Come on, come on, come on, let me dance on the edge of terror! '
