The beginning of the king guards the Great Wall

"I just happened to meet him."

Jiang Ming smiled and said modestly.

"By the way, Sheng promised me that as long as I manage it, they will agree to open the closed market. Do you think it's okay?"

Hearing the word Guanshi, Hua Mulan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Actually, I have long wanted to open the border with Yucheng. If it was a year ago, I would have agreed without hesitation."

"But now, what I said doesn't count."

Hua Mulan said with a sigh.

"You don't count, what do you mean?"

Jiang Ming asked suspiciously.

"Have you ever heard of General Su Lie of the Protectorate's Mansion?"

"heard about it."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

Carrying a big pillar in the game, it has high physical damage and high damage, which is annoying.

In the background story, Su Lie was born in Chang'an.

The Su family is a family of civil servants, and Su Lie has also read poetry and books since he was a child, and his literary talent can even be compared with Li Bai.

But later, Su Lie discovered that what he liked most was not reciting poems and fighting against each other, but the battlefield.

So he abandoned literature and went to martial arts, and became the general of Duhufu.

"Is it General Su Lie who disagrees with the opening of the closed city?"

Jiang Ming asked with a frown.

In his impression, Su Lie is a good general, and he shouldn't object to Guan Shi's proposal that is beneficial to both parties.

"No, General Su Lie and I both think it's a good thing to open the customs."

Hua Mulan shook her head lightly, and continued: "But a year ago, the imperial court suddenly sent an additional Zhao supervisor to the Protectorate, and the power is above that of General Su Lie and me."

"This guy is an out-and-out corrupt official. He embezzles at least [-]% of every material shipped to the frontier."

"If we open the customs with Yucheng, and there is no need for the imperial court to send supplies, he will have no money to fish, and naturally he will not agree."

"So it is."

Jiang Ming suddenly realized.

The Great Wall is located at the most border of the Tang Dynasty, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it has a powerful guard army.

Empress Wu Zetian probably feared that Hua Mulan and Su Lie would be colluding in rebellion, so she parachuted a Supervisor Zhao army over.

It's a pity that the wise and mighty empress sometimes misjudged people.

This Superintendent Zhao is not a good guy, if he were to supervise Hua Mulan and Su Lie, I'm afraid it would only force the two generals to rebel.

"General, I request to go to the Protectorate's Mansion."

Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"What are you going to do? Don't you want to hang out with your sister and go to seek refuge with General Su Lie?"

"of course not."

Jiang Ming shook his head and laughed: "I want to reason with Supervisor Zhao, maybe I can convince him."

"Oh? What are you going to use to convince him?"

"Of course I convinced people with reason."

Jiang Ming raised his clenched fist, emphasizing the word "reason".

"Okay, sure, but don't make things too big."

The corners of Hua Mulan's mouth curled up slightly, her smile was a bit ambiguous.

She had wanted to teach Supervisor Zhao a lesson for a long time, but there was no suitable reason.

Now it is time for Jiang Ming to reason with Supervisor Zhao under the banner of opening up the city.

As for how to reason, I believe Jiang Ming has his own sense of proportion.

It's best to be able to speak well with good words, but if you don't follow this, then you can only speak hard truths.

Even if Jiang Ming really killed Supervisor Zhao in a fit of anger, she still has a way to keep Jiang Ming.

"By the way, I heard from Lao Li that you hooked up with Princess Yucheng outside, and you also received her token of love?"

Hua Mulan suddenly looked at Jiang Ming with a half-smile, her eyes were as cold as ice.

A strong jealousy spread in the air.

"No, don't listen to Lao Li's nonsense, I just happened to save the princess' life."

Jiang Ming trembled all over, and hurriedly began to argue.

"So, is it true to accept the token of love?"

"It's not a token of love, it's just a gift between ordinary friends."

"Really?"

"real!"

"Then tell me, is it the elder sister who is prettier or the princess?"

Hua Mulan directly raised the question of death.

Jiang Ming suddenly remembered the question his ex-girlfriend often asked when he was on Earth: If your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?

The Protectorate.

On the towering pavilion, a burly figure looked at the vast desert in the clouds.
