He thought he would never be able to return to the position of commander of the Great Wall Guards, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better so quickly.
........................................
162: Using both hands and feet, working hard with both mind and body!
After the handover of the generals' seals and the transfer of power were completed, time quietly passed, and before they knew it, dusk had arrived.
As the sun dips below the horizon, its rays, like blood, cast a long, lingering glow upon the land.
The sky is high and the air is crisp, the autumn wind is bleak.
After leaving the military camp, on her way back, Mulan still looked somewhat dazed and lost.
Clearly, the beautiful and mature woman was still somewhat shaken by the series of events that had occurred that afternoon.
Since he began guarding the border, he has rarely returned home, remaining stationed on the Great Wall day after day, year after year.
Now that she is about to leave, Mulan naturally feels a little lost and confused, as well as a faint sense of reluctance.
She has always had a deep love for this land beneath her feet.
"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"
Noticing that Mulan's condition was a bit off, Jiang Che reached out and grasped the beautiful, boneless hand of the mature woman, asking her a question with great curiosity.
"It's nothing... I'm just a little reluctant to part with it..."
"After all, I've been stationed at the Great Wall for a full eight years..."
"Jiang Che, after we leave, will we ever come back?"
Hua Mulan gently shook her head, then leaned her head against Jiang Che's shoulder, pursed her red lips, and muttered softly, her words filled with sighs and lamentations.
She joined the army as a teenager and dedicated almost all of the best ten years of her life to the Great Wall from the age of eighteen to twenty. Now that she is about to leave, she can't help but feel a little emotional.
"certainly………"
"We can come back and visit anytime you want."
Jiang Che nodded slightly and answered Mulan's question without hesitation.
With his cultivation advancing rapidly, Jiang Che could now travel between Chang'an and the Great Wall in a short time, with a day being more than enough.
Even if he leaves the Great Wall, he can always take Mulan back whenever he has free time.
"Hmm~"
"I'm really looking forward to meeting Sister Yu Huan and the others~"
"Jiang Che, do you think I should bring them some gifts?"
After receiving Jiang Che's affirmative answer, Hua Mulan's melancholy and confusion quickly dissipated, and she smiled again. A bright smile bloomed on her pretty face, her eyes sparkling, and she spoke thoughtfully as she parted her lips.
After the competition with Jialuo ends, I will return to Chang'an with Jiang Che.
Although they haven't met yet, Mulan has already learned a lot about the girls from Jiang Che.
If everything Jiang Che said is true, then she really doesn't need to worry too much.
According to Jiang Che, Ali is a very gentle woman with a mild and easy-going personality, making her very easy to get along with. Yang Yuhuan is the same; she is an intellectual and elegant older sister.
There's not much to worry about with Mai Shiranui and Diao Chan; the only one who's difficult to get along with is Yun Ying, that jealous little devil.
"Well... if you'd like, you could bring back some local specialties unique to the Great Wall..."
After a moment's thought, Jiang Che answered Mulan's question.
The saying goes, "A gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is a small gift but carries great meaning."
Although Yang Yuhuan was not a wealthy and powerful cultivator, she had the famous Chang Le Fang in Chang'an as her support, so her life and cultivation were naturally much richer than those of ordinary cultivators.
Mai Shiranui was the eldest daughter of the Shiranui family in Fusang, Diaochan was a scout under Cao Cao's Blood Shadow Legion, and their lives could not be considered poor. Yun Ying's life was even more impoverished.
After moving into Qingyun Manor, Jiang Che always treated his women well, feeding each of them thoroughly, and their lives couldn't be more comfortable.
For A-Li and the other women, they had no shortage of cultivation resources, cultivation techniques, rare and precious herbs, or elixirs. What Hua Mulan gave them was not important at all; it was the sentiment that mattered.
"Mulan understands..."
Hua Mulan seemed to be thinking, and nodded obediently. She already had a specific plan in mind, and did not delve into the topic any further. She changed the subject and suddenly spoke.
"Jiang Che... how did Sister Jialuo repay you so generously last night?"
"What, you want to know?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, looking at the dazzling, radiant, and beautiful mature woman in front of him with a half-smile, his expression somewhat amused.
It can only be said that under the exemplary guidance of Jialuo, a woman with an extreme contrast, Mulan was indeed influenced by her surroundings.
In the past, even if she had a very close relationship with someone, Mulan would never have asked such a question.
"Yeah, I want to know!"
Hua Mulan nodded hurriedly, looking at Jiang Che with anticipation, her eyes burning as she quietly awaited his answer.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.
As the former supreme commander of the Great Wall Guard, Mulan naturally understood this.
To completely win over Galo, this stunning and mature woman who is now completely different from before, it is essential to make thorough preparations.
Only in this way can she win this game and become the one who reaps the rewards of victory, thus obtaining the Divine Phoenix bloodline inheritance from Jiang Che.
In the past, Mulan would not have had such worries.
After all, in Mulan's mind, Jialuo had always been a cold and aloof beauty who lacked charm and was completely unapproachable.
She doesn't know what's gotten into her right now, or if she's been too exposed to Jiang Che, but she's awakened some strange attributes, and her true nature has been completely unleashed. She's a complete beaker beauty!
Faced with such a formidable opponent, Mulan naturally felt immense pressure, which is why she wanted to subtly obtain the answer she desired from Jiang Che.
"Since you want to know, then your husband will tell you..."
Jiang Che's expression was strange. He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Hua Mulan's ear, and recounted in detail how Jialuo had repaid him with such kindness the previous night.
They use both hands and feet, are physically and mentally active, and are eloquent and persuasive.
To win this war without gunfire, Galo really went all out, and she probably hasn't fully recovered yet...
Jiang Che saw and admired Jialuo's noble spirit of courage and fearlessness. Moved by her actions, he naturally did not hold back his deep affection.
"Ah this..."
After hearing Jiang Che's answer, Hua Mulan's pretty face flushed slightly, and even her delicate earlobes were tinged with a charming blush. She was stunningly beautiful, clearly shocked once again by the series of bold actions taken by her good friend Jialuo.
Although she had already anticipated this, knowing that the current Jialuo was no longer the aloof and beautiful mature woman she once was, but completely different...
But Mulan never expected that Jialuo would go to such lengths to defeat her, actually agreeing to Jiang Che's perverted and unreasonable demands... and swallowing them all?
Thinking of a very beautiful scene, Mulan couldn't help but shiver, her delicate body trembling violently.
Completely unable to understand Jialuo's motives, Mulan naturally couldn't fully empathize with her. She felt deeply puzzled and speechless about her good sister's behavior, and was quite troubled.
Since Jialuo has already made so many sacrifices, if she cannot follow closely behind, wouldn't she lose the game completely and be destined to miss out on the Divine Phoenix bloodline inheritance in Jiang Che's hands?
This is not the outcome she wanted!
If Jialuo could do that, then what kind of storms hadn't she seen, having served as the commander of the Great Wall Guards for five years?
How could he do worse than this woman!
At such a critical moment, we must face the challenges head-on without fear and never back down!
With countless thoughts swirling in her mind and various ideas flashing through her head, Mulan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and spoke rapidly.
"Jiang Che...come to my room tonight...I'll prepare a surprise for you!"
"Whatever Sister Jialuo can give you, I can do too!"
After saying these words, a blush spread rapidly across Mulan's face. Before Jiang Che could reply, the beautiful and mature woman's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Although Mulan was indeed a straightforward and worldly-wise general, it still took a lot of courage for her to say such incredibly shameful things; she simply couldn't face it with equanimity.
"Things are getting more and more interesting..."
Jiang Che chuckled softly, muttering to himself, already looking forward to his rendezvous with Hua Mulan that evening.
What kind of surprise will this glamorous and mature woman prepare for herself?
Is he planning to completely emulate Galo, using both hands and feet, speaking and acting in unison, and going through all the procedures?
I must say, agreeing to Galo's so-called fair competition proposal yesterday was a wise move!
No doubt about it, it was absolutely awesome!
...........................
After bidding farewell to Mulan for the time being, giving her ample time to prepare, Jiang Che went directly to the villa where Su Lie and Li Bai lived.
I will be leaving the Great Wall soon, and before leaving, I naturally want to have a drink and a good time with my two old friends.
Jiang Che carried a pot of old wine and a food box. After entering the villa, he was led by a soldier and soon met Su Lie and Li Bai, who were raising their cups to drink together, in the hall.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early..."
"You two brothers seem to be having a great time drinking..."
"Would you mind if I came along too?"
Jiang Che waved away the soldiers who had come with him, walked straight into the hall, and said jokingly.
"Brother Jiang, you've arrived?"
"Please sit down, please sit down!"
"You're here, why bring food and drinks?"
Upon seeing Jiang Che arrive, Li Bai quickly stood up and invited Jiang Che to sit down.
While uttering polite words, his actions were ruthless. He directly opened the lid of the wine jar that Jiang Che had brought, took a light sniff, and his face was full of intoxication.
"Brother Jiang...you've really given me a wonderful surprise!"
Upon seeing Jiang Che, Su Lie gave a wry smile and shook his head.
He was referring to Jiang Che's sudden and unexpected promotion of him back to the position of commander of the Great Wall Guard.
