"Cough cough!"

Zhang Cheng coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Mulan, I understand your determination to become stronger, but I may not have made it clear during the day. The magic blow can actually only be used on men because the body structures of men and women are different."

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, a look of disappointment flashed across Hua Mulan's face.

She had previously thought she had found a shortcut to becoming stronger.

"Mulan, do I actually have other ways to help you become stronger?"

A hint of joy soon appeared on Hua Mulan's face again.

Sure enough, there is no perfect path.

"What can you do?"

"The divine fighting technique cannot be used on you, but I can pass on some of my strength to you."

A hint of curiosity flashed across Hua Mulan's face.

"How do you transfer your power to me?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Cheng took a step forward and approached Hua Mulan.

"It's simple, we just need to do this... and then this... and everything will fall into place."

"is it?"

A sneer appeared on Hua Mulan's face.

"Zhang Cheng, I didn't expect you to be this kind of Zhang Cheng. Although I really want to improve my strength, I'm not stupid! Please use the method you mentioned on Kai!"

After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she left the abandoned beacon tower angrily.

"Hey, don't be angry. When you change your mind, remember to come find me."

Watching Hua Mulan walk away, Zhang Cheng grabbed the wine jug on the ground and took another big gulp of wine.

Soon after drinking half a pot of wine, Zhang Cheng's head tilted and he fell drunk on the beacon tower.

What followed was a night of silence.

The next day, before dawn, Zhang Cheng was awakened by the sound of a horn.

Zhang Cheng stood up shakily from the beacon tower and looked into the distance. He soon saw a team of soldiers from the Longcheng Guard, arranged in neat square formations and marching out in an orderly manner.

"As expected, they are the elite soldiers guarding the Great Wall. They are a hundred times stronger than the soldiers in Qianku City."

"Fortunately, the Great Wall has contained most of Heluo's power. If it weren't for the Great Wall, with Wu Zetian's courage, Heluo would probably have swept across the Three-Third Land and the Great River Basin."

Zhang Cheng turned around again and looked in the direction of the desert in the clouds.

The golden light of the morning sun sprinkled on the yellow sand of the Yunzhong Desert, making the Yunzhong Desert look a little more unique.

“No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it eventually. The more beautiful the scenery is, the greater the danger is.”

Hearing Su Lie's words, Zhang Cheng turned around.

Just then he saw Su Lie, Li Xin and Pei Qinhu coming behind him.

"General Su, I heard that you were the top scorer in liberal arts?"

"Not bad!"

Su Lie walked to Zhang Cheng's side with a smile and said, "When the empress first ascended the throne, she announced the implementation of the imperial examination throughout the country. The imperial examination is divided into civil and military subjects. The purpose is to allow all scholars and practitioners in the world to have the opportunity to succeed. I am the first champion of the civil service exam!"

"I was originally planning to serve as the Minister of the Honglu Temple, but just as I was about to take office, a crisis broke out at the Great Wall."

"The demons and bandits wanted to take over the Great Wall while Heluo had just replaced the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wall was in chaos."

"Thinking of the importance of the Great Wall to Heluo, after careful consideration, I finally decided to give up my position as the Minister of the Honglu Temple and come to the Great Wall."

Having said that, Su Lie gently patted the bricks of the Great Wall and continued, "I think my choice is correct."

"As long as Su Lie is here, the Great Wall will be here!"

Zhang Cheng was infected by Su Lie's heroism. For a moment, Zhang Cheng felt his blood boiling.

But soon, Zhang Cheng's blood turned cold again.

Passion can easily make people impulsive.

Zhang Cheng is suffering from a terminal illness, and the system only gives him five years.

Zhang Cheng still has a lot of tasks to complete and ten miracle cores to obtain.

Zhang Cheng needs to keep a clear head at all times.

"Let's go and have breakfast. After breakfast, I'll ask Mulan to take you around again. OK..."

After eating a breakfast carefully prepared by Baili Shouyao, Zhang Cheng went to the city wall again and looked into the distance.

Hua Mulan quietly came to Zhang Cheng's side and asked, "Are you worried about Jia Luo in Qianku City?"

"Yes!"

Turning his head to look at Hua Mulan, Zhang Cheng said, "Before the fall of Qianku City, the Lord of Qianku City handed Jialuo and three hundred children to me. They are the future of Qianku City. If anything happens to them, the Lord of Qianku City will probably turn into a ghost to catch me."

"Don't worry. Hanhai Tulan is not far from the Protectorate, and there are few bandits in the Protectorate area. Besides, Jialuo is quite powerful. With Goya's help, they will definitely be able to reach the Great Wall safely."

After Zhang Cheng nodded, Hua Mulan continued to ask: "By the way, I am a little curious, how did you get Jia Luo's favor? I once heard that Jia Luo, the young master of Qianku City, is a very proud beauty."

"Because of my charm!"

"Charm? The young master of Qianku City, Jialuo, is not that..."

This time, without waiting for Hua Mulan to finish her words, Zhang Cheng suddenly reached out and hugged Hua Mulan's slender waist.

Then, without waiting for Hua Mulan to come to her senses, Zhang Cheng threw her heavily to the ground.

Just as the two men fell to the ground, a dagger almost brushed past Zhang Cheng's body and finally hit the city wall, with most of the blade directly embedded in the wall.

"There are assassins!"

Zhang Cheng yelled and turned his head to look to the side, just in time to see a relatively short figure running a few steps on the ground, then blending into the air and disappearing.

"Where is the assassin?"

When Su Lie and others rushed out of the kitchen, Zhang Cheng had already pulled Hua Mulan up and pulled out the dagger that was stuck in the city wall.

After taking the dagger from Zhang Cheng's hand, Hua Mulan took a look at it and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"General Su, do you still remember this dagger?"

Su Lie frowned as he took the dagger from Hua Mulan's hand. After examining it for a moment, Su Lie said, "This dagger is coated with poison, which can increase the damage and slow down the speed of the target it hits."

"Mulan, when your commander was killed, a dagger exactly like this one was stuck in his chest."

"Not bad!"

Hua Mulan nodded heavily.

"When the commander was killed, I was the first to arrive at the scene, but I didn't find any trace of the murderer. Because of this, I was wrongly accused of killing the commander."

Hearing the voice, Su Lie turned his head and looked around.

"If Brother Zhang Cheng had not been alert today, either you or Brother Zhang Cheng would have fallen in a pool of blood."

"And the situation today is almost exactly the same as that year. After the beast completed the attack, it quickly disappeared from the spot."

Hua Mulan nodded heavily.

"Catch him and I can clear my name!"

"But the other party is too cunning. We don't even know where they are."

After Su Lie finished speaking, Zhang Cheng said, "I know where the other party is. He can hide it from your eyes, but not from mine."

Did you really find me?
