Chapter 4: Reach the Great Wall!
If you sell it outside, it will be worth a fortune!
"I made this for you personally. There is only one of its kind in the world."
"Besides, do you want my efforts to go to waste?"
Jiang Mingche said, pretending to be displeased.
"this….."
After hearing what Jiang Mingche said, Uncle Fu also became a little hesitant.
"And even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children, right?"
"You are already in your prime years, don't you want to stay with your family for a few more years?"
The identity of Jiang family's housekeeper is just Uncle Fu's job. He also has his own family, his own wife and children.
"Thank you, Patriarch..."
After hearing what Jiang Mingche said, Uncle Fu was finally tempted and picked up the Yangyuan Pill from the table.
"You are too polite to me..."
Jiang Mingche shook his head. Although he had emphasized many times that there was no need to be so polite to him, Uncle Fu never listened and always regarded himself as a servant of the Jiang family.
On the last day before departure, Jiang Mingche did not go anywhere. He stayed at home with Gongsun Li, chatting and laughing, enjoying the last moments of tenderness.
The next day, early morning.
After leaving a letter for Gongsun Li on the table, Jiang Mingche washed and packed up and headed straight for the city gate of Chang'an.
He did not wake Gongsun Li up, fearing that he would become soft-hearted and reluctant to leave.
As Jiang Mingche walked out of the room, Gongsun Li, who had been pretending to be asleep, slowly opened his eyes.
After taking a look at the letter left by Jiang Mingche on the table, Gongsun Li endured the discomfort, put on his clothes and got out of bed.
No matter what, she planned to see Jiang Mingche off in person.
After all, this trip may take several months at the fastest and half a year at the slowest.
Riding his white horse, Jiang Mingche came directly to the gate of Chang'an City.
The troops transferred from various provincial capitals and the imperial guards of the Daming Palace all gathered here.
"Greetings, General..."
Seeing Jiang Mingche coming, hundreds of thousands of troops shouted in unison.
They bowed and saluted in unison.
The sound shook the heaven and earth and reached the sky.
Looking at the huge crowd in front of him, Jiang Mingche felt that his long-silent heart was slowly warming up.
"I'm sure you know what you're facing when you go to the Great Wall, right?"
Looking around at everyone present, Jiang Mingche spoke word by word.
"The Great Wall is currently in the midst of a demonic riot, and the guards are in disarray. They are in urgent need of our support..."
"As the Grand Admiral of the Tang Dynasty, I have the right to set up my own office."
"I can promise you that anyone who makes significant contributions to the Great Wall will be promoted three levels!"
"If anyone can solve the demon riots in the Great Wall, I can make a proposal to His Majesty and promise you a title of Marquis and a life of luxury."
"Anyone who conquers the Wolf's Lair will have his name recorded in history!"
"Thank you, General..."
After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, everyone present became excited.
Conquer the Wolf's Lair and drink from the Hanhai Lake!
Is this what many young men throughout history have pursued throughout their lives?
If someone made such a promise to them, they would just think the other person was talking nonsense.
But Jiang Mingche is the Tiance General of the Tang Dynasty!
He holds such power in his own hands!
As long as I perform well on this trip to the Great Wall, maybe Jiang Mingche would notice and promote me. Then I would have a bright future!
After an impassioned speech, Jiang Mingche nodded with some satisfaction as he looked at the army full of fighting spirit.
"Take a break and get ready to go immediately."
"Where is Duke Lu?"
After looking around and not seeing Cheng Yaojin, Jiang Mingche asked curiously.
"General, the Duke said he had something to do and went home, and he will be back soon."
A man who looked like a general stood up and said with a bow.
"Give the order, we will set out immediately when the Duke returns."
"Yes!"
With nothing to do, Jiang Mingche directly checked his attribute panel.
"System, open my properties panel."
Host: Jiang Mingche

Without waiting for long, Cheng Yaojin soon came out of the city riding a horse.
"Brother Jiang, sorry for the long wait."
After walking to Jiang Mingche's side, Cheng Yaojin said a little embarrassedly, stroking his beard awkwardly.
This time on the trip to the Great Wall, Jiang Mingche was the expedition general and he was the deputy general.
It was indeed somewhat unreasonable that he did not arrive at such an occasion as soon as possible.
"Not long ago, I just got here too."
Jiang Mingche shook his head and said.
"Since you are here, let's set off immediately."
Cheng Yaojin nodded and went to pass on the message.
"Pack up and set off immediately!"
Jiang Mingche was just about to leave when a call made him stop suddenly.
"Husband..."
Jiang Mingche got off his horse and headed straight towards the city gate.
There Gongsun Li and Yun Ying were waiting eagerly.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yuhuan also came.
"How did you come?"
After walking in front of Gongsun Li, Jiang Mingche sighed helplessly.
He deliberately did not wake up Gongsun Li in the early morning because he did not want to face such a scene.
Gentle Township, Hero Tomb.
He was afraid of Gongsun Li's reluctant look.
"My husband is about to go to war, so Ah Li will naturally send him off."
Looking at Jiang Mingche who was different from before, Gongsun Li's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
In the past, Jiang Mingche was always dressed in white, and he was truly as handsome as jade and a peerless young man in the world.
Today, Jiang Mingche wore the armor that symbolized his status as General Tiance, and he looked exceptionally handsome.
"This is the mandarin duck bow knot that A-li embroidered for you, and you must also carry this jade pendant with you."
"The jade pendant will protect you on behalf of A-Li. If you miss A-Li, take out this mandarin duck bow and let it show you."
"Ali will always be waiting for her husband to return in Chang'an City..."
"Can you embroider?"
Jiang Mingche took the mandarin duck bow tie from Gongsun Li's hand and asked in surprise, feeling a little warm in his heart.
"Won't..."
"My husband left in such a hurry. Ali only started learning in the past two days."
"The tattoo is not good, I hope my husband will not despise it..."
Gongsun Li said this a little embarrassedly, for she was afraid that Jiang Mingche would dislike her embroidery.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?"
"I like it so much, how can I dislike it?"
Jiang Mingche touched Gongsun Li's little head and said with a helpless smile.
"You have been with me these past two days. When did you learn it?"
"Every time after my husband went to sleep, Ali would secretly get up and stab him."
Gongsun Li stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.
Jiang Mingche was touched when he heard this. No wonder Gongsun Li had dark circles under his eyes these past two days, looking like he could never wake up.
"I love embroidery. I promise you I will come back within two months."
Jiang Mingche gently kissed Gongsun Li on the forehead and planned to leave.
"Wait, you pervert!"
"I have something to give you too!"
Seeing Jiang Mingche was about to leave, Yun Ying became anxious and quickly stood up and said.
"Oh?"
"Miss Yun, are you going to give me some embroidery as well?"
Jiang Mingche glanced at Yun Ying and asked jokingly.
"I am not as clever as Sister Ali, so I naturally cannot embroider."
"this is for you."
Yun Ying said this and took out a sword and handed it to Jiang Mingche.
"This sword..."
Holding the long sword handed over by Yun Ying, Jiang Mingche could tell at a glance that the sword was extraordinary. It was a lower-grade earth-level sword.
Although it is not as powerful as the Jinghong Sword in his hand, it is definitely a magical weapon.
After all, earth-level weapons are not the cabbages you can find everywhere on the roadside.
"My father found this sword for me as a birthday gift when I was eighteen years old."
"But I never use the sword, so it has been gathering dust."
"I'll give it to you now. When you get to the Great Wall, you must use this sword to kill more demons!"
After explaining the origin of the sword to Jiang Mingche, Yun Ying said excitedly.
Yun Ying has always aspired to become a legendary figure like Madam Li since she was a child, and she also has a strong sense of family and country in her heart.
If possible, she even wanted to go directly to the Great Wall with Jiang Mingche to resist the demon riot.
"I promise you..."
Jiang Mingche did not reject Yun Ying's good intention and simply put away the sword.
"I'll send you a thousand miles away, but I'll have to say goodbye in the end."
"You all go back."
After accepting Yun Ying's sword, Jiang Mingche left without looking back.
"You big pervert! As long as you come back victorious, I will agree to your request!"
Looking at Jiang Mingche's back, Yun Ying suddenly shouted excitedly.
Jiang Mingche paused, waved his hand, then went straight back to his horse and mounted it.
"set off!"
Following Jiang Mingche's order, hundreds of thousands of troops surged up in an instant, and the huge crowd headed straight towards the Great Wall in the west.
Looking at the army moving further and further away, Gongsun Li could not help but murmur.
"Parting is for a more wonderful reunion..."
Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, who is separating in the season when the maple leaves are falling?
My dear, A-li will always be waiting for you to come home in Chang'an City.
After leaving Chang'an City, Jiang Mingche and Cheng Yaojin led hundreds of thousands of troops and marched non-stop towards the Great Wall.
The situation at the Great Wall is urgent. The sooner they arrive, the sooner they can turn the situation around.
When they were tired, they would find an empty deserted place to set up camp. When they were hungry, they would just cook some vegetables and fruits to eat. It was also the first time that Jiang Mingche felt the harsh conditions of a long march.
Finally, fifteen days later.
Jiang Mingche and Cheng Yaojin arrived at the Great Wall with an army of 500,000.
"Brother Jiang, that's the Great Wall..."
After entering the desert covered with yellow sand, Cheng Yaojin pointed at a city not far away and laughed.
"After 15 days of traveling through mountains and rivers, we are finally here."
"We can finally take a good rest..."
When Jiang Mingche took a quick look, what came into view was a city wall that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
