By sending Mai Shiranui, a free-spirited, fiery, enchanting, knowledgeable, and charming Japanese woman, to his side, he gained an enormous advantage for free. Isn't Li Bai his own brother and friend?
Jiang Che wouldn't mind having ten more friends like that!
"Yeah……"
"Then you'll be able to meet Lord Li Bai at the Great Wall in a little while..."
Galo, naturally unaware of the various hidden details, believed Jiang Che's earnest expression and smiled as she spoke.
A sense of wonder welled up within me; the world is truly so big yet so small.
Unexpectedly, this young man, who had impressed her and whose background was mysterious, turned out to be a friend of Li Bai. This was something that Jialuo had not anticipated.
Could this be the legendary fate?
It was truly wondrous, beyond words.
Although her relationship with Jiang Che had gradually become more familiar, Jiang Che did not take the initiative to reveal anything, so Jialuo did not ask too many questions about Jiang Che's background. She only knew that he came from Chang'an and was a native of Chang'an.
An hour later, when the sky had completely darkened, Jiang Che and Jialuo each transformed into streams of light, soaring into the sky and heading straight for the Great Wall, which was 100,000 miles away.
Galo was not proficient in swordsmanship, nor did she practice the supernatural power of flying through the clouds; her method of flight was simply to travel by air.
With each step, lotus blossoms bloomed, and they soared into the sky a thousand feet high, making their way towards the Great Wall at a leisurely pace.
Jiang Che chose the more stylish method of flying on a sword. Since learning the supernatural power of sword control, Jiang Che has used this supernatural power almost every time he travels.
As a model young man born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze, Jiang Che, like many fans of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) novels, also harbors the dream of riding the wind on a sword and soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky. Naturally, he has a great fondness for the supernatural power of flying on a sword.
........................
P.S.: The pace will pick up a bit more from now on, and there won't be too much romance. Otherwise, there are just too many female heroes to write about. Of course, they won't all be mindless pushovers, don't worry.
135: Jialuo: Such a beautiful night, young master, how about we sleep together tonight?
In the dead of night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and all is quiet.
The bright moonlight poured down, covering the earth, and the Milky Way was brilliant, with countless stars shining brightly.
After leaving the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, Jiang Che and Jialuo flew for two hours on their swords before returning to the Great Wall.
In the dead of night, the residents inside the Great Wall were already fast asleep, only the guards on the wall were still on duty, guarding against any accidents.
Galo is a member of the Great Wall Guard and one of the generals of the Great Wall Army.
With Jialuo leading the way, Jiang Che naturally entered the Great Wall without any obstacles.
When the soldiers on duty saw that it was General Jialuo returning after being away for many days, they naturally did not stop him too much.
After opening the tightly closed city gates, they welcomed Jialuo and Jiang Che inside and dispatched men to the military camp to inform General Hua Mulan, the supreme commander of the Great Wall Guard.
"It seems you have quite a high reputation in the Great Wall Guard..."
After entering the Great Wall, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and teased Jialuo beside him.
It's easy to see from the solemn expressions and respectful eyes of these soldiers guarding the city that they greatly admired Jialuo, one of the generals of the Great Wall Guard.
"After joining the Great Wall Guard, I would hunt monsters whenever I had time, accumulating countless achievements..."
"That's why I was promoted so quickly. These soldiers have all heard of my deeds, which is why they respect me so much..."
Jialuo parted her red lips slightly and slowly began to explain a few words.
Although she was a woman, she made many outstanding contributions after joining the Great Wall Guards, and her cultivation progressed rapidly. Her deeds had long been known throughout the Great Wall.
These guards on duty were all members of the Great Wall Guard and had naturally heard of Galo's past deeds, which is why they treated him with such respect.
"It's getting late..."
"Does the young master have a suitable place to stay? Why don't you come back with me for the night?" "557"
Galo's eyes sparkled, and before Jiang Che could reply, she extended an invitation.
The Great Wall Guards were stationed on the frontier year-round, and their camps were located in the drill ground within the city.
As one of the generals of the Great Wall Guard, Jialuo naturally had her own residence, located not far from the military camp.
However, before returning to her residence, she had to go to the military camp to report the situation to her superior and best friend, Hua Mulan.
To avoid worrying Mulan, Jialuo didn't explain the real reason for her departure when she left. She only said that she would be away for a few days to take care of some personal matters.
Now that we've returned, there's no need to continue hiding anything from each other.
At this time, Mulan is usually practicing meditation, so Jialuo is naturally not afraid of disturbing her rest.
Mulan is a complete workaholic and cultivation fanatic. During the day, she arranges troops, trains the army, and leads troops into battle. Even when she finally has some free time at night, she continues to cultivate.
This is true every day, and every year.
It is precisely because of this tenacious mindset and perseverance that Mulan has been able to achieve what she has today.
Not only did she break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before the age of thirty, but she also became a household name in the Great Wall, a female general and a heroine among men.
In the five years since she met Mulan, Jialuo has never even seen her choose to rest and sleep at night.
Jialuo sincerely admired Mulan, since she herself knew she could never do what Mulan did.
Although she was also a diligent practitioner, she was still far inferior to Mulan.
"in this way………"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady..."
Jiang Che pondered for a moment, then agreed without refusing, saying politely.
He had originally planned to go to the city to find an inn to stay in, but since Jialuo had extended such a warm invitation, Jiang Che naturally wouldn't refuse.
"The term 'young lady' sounds a bit too formal..."
"Young master is my savior, please just call me Jialuo..."
Seeing that Jiang Che had agreed, Jialuo was overjoyed. She reached out her slender hand to smooth the loose strands of hair on her forehead, turned her head away, and casually spoke.
"Alright, then you can just call me Brother Jiang from now on..."
Jiang Che nodded slightly, accepting Jialuo's suggestion with a faint smile.
Although it's just a small issue of how to address someone, it can reveal a lot.
If the relationship wasn't close enough, Galo wouldn't have taken the initiative to say such things.
Jiang Che was naturally more than happy to be able to get closer to this stunningly beautiful and graceful woman and deepen their relationship.
"Brother Jiang~"
Galo's long, delicate eyelashes fluttered gently, her eyes sparkling. She pursed her red lips and muttered something softly.
Although people like Su Lie and Kai held higher positions and prestige than her in the Great Wall Guard, Jialuo always addressed them by their given names and had never called any man by that name before, which made her feel a little strange.
...............................
The drill ground, the general's camp.
Hua Mulan, clad in armor and with a long sword at her waist, possesses stunning beauty and a heroic bearing. Her eyes are deep and bright, and her figure is tall and graceful. She sits regally on the main seat of the general's camp, her gaze sweeping over everyone present as she speaks in a cool and clear voice.
"Do you have any news about Galo's whereabouts?"
Three days ago, Galo said he had some personal matters to attend to and left the Great Wall.
Now, six hours have passed since the agreed-upon return time, and the other party has yet to return. Naturally, Mulan is somewhat worried, which is why she ordered her subordinates to go out of the city to check the situation.
Although she knew that Jialuo possessed the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage, Mulan was naturally worried because he suddenly broke his promise and did not return to the Great Wall at the agreed time.
Since joining the Great Wall Guard, Galo has hunted down countless demonic beasts that inhabit the Cloud Desert over the years, and has long been hated by the various demon kings of the Cloud Desert. Countless demon kings have been secretly watching her every move.
If Jialuo were to encounter these demon kings while out on business, she would be in serious trouble.
Only fifth-tier demonic beasts can call themselves demon kings, and each one is equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator in the human race.
Even with all the trump cards in her hand, Jialuo would never be a match for these fifth-tier demon kings, which is why Hua Mulan was extremely worried.
The gap between realms is like an insurmountable chasm.
The path to immortality is a series of steps, one at a time.
Even she herself could only flee in defeat when facing a fifth-tier peak demon king. If Galo were to unfortunately encounter those demon kings entrenched in the Cloud Desert, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"call………"
Taking a deep breath and trying to control her wandering thoughts, Mulan looked at her capable subordinates with a sharp gaze, quietly awaiting their answer.
Apart from Li Bai, everyone present was a powerful general under her command, including three generals: Kaiyin, Su Lie, and Baili Shouyue, as well as Shen Mengxi, a genius cat who was skilled in magical mechanisms and techniques and adept at making various explosives.
Although Li Bai was not affiliated with the Great Wall Guards and was a free-spirited swordsman outside the official ranks, he had helped the Great Wall defend against monsters on many occasions, fought on the battlefield, and made many great achievements. He was a close friend of Su Lie, which is why he appeared in the commander's camp.
Mulan naturally wanted to promote such a talented person, and repeatedly asked for credit for Li Bai, but was refused.
According to him, he dislikes being controlled by others, is used to a carefree life, and has no intention of joining the army.
After repeatedly trying to persuade Li Bai, who remained unmoved, Mulan gave up her own ideas.
Since Li Bai had no intention of joining the army, Mulan didn't say much. She couldn't force Li Bai to serve in the military, could she?
Although such things had happened in other dynasties on the vast land of China, there was no precedent for this in the Tang Dynasty, and the Empress would never stoop to doing so.
Shen Mengxi is a combination of a human and a demon beast... a little cat with a great talent for magic.
For humans, Shen Mengxi is an anomaly. In the Cloud Desert, everyone hates demonic beasts, and almost everyone stands on the opposite side of demonic beasts, fighting to the death. Naturally, they would not accept Shen Mengxi, this anomaly.
The same applies to the demon beasts. They would never accept Shen Mengxi, a monster born from the union of a demon beast and a human. Therefore, Shen Mengxi has been living alone on the Great Wall all these years.
Later, Mulan accidentally discovered Shen Mengxi's extraordinary talent for making various explosives, and thus recruited him into the army.
After enlisting, Shen Mengxi did not disappoint her, creating various explosives with terrifying destructive power and remarkable effects.
As a result, Shen Mengxi was promoted one after another. Within a year, he was promoted by Hua Mulan and went from a lowly soldier to one of the generals of the Great Wall Guard.
Having gained absolute status and power, no one dared to mock Shen Mengxi's identity anymore. Everyone who saw him treated him with utmost respect, and even the demon beasts were extremely wary of him and hated him to the bone.
Shen Mengxi thoroughly enjoyed this moment of glory and felt infinitely grateful to Hua Mulan, knowing that it was her promotion that made him who he is today.
Therefore, Shen Mengxi was the one among them who had the strongest sense of belonging to the Great Wall Guard. Grateful for Hua Mulan's kindness, he was meticulous in every mission and diligently developed all kinds of explosives with amazing destructive power.
Su Lie was once the supreme commander of the Great Wall Guard and had a deep love for this land.
Kaiyin comes from the Sunset Sea of the Western Continent. After losing her memory, she was rescued by Mulan and joined the Great Wall Guards.
