Since that day of war, the Great Wall has returned to its former days, peaceful and quiet, like a paradise, and it is still as calm as water despite the heat of fighting outside.

But everyone knew that it was only a temporary tranquility, like a sign before a storm.

Now, the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate have fallen into the dilemma of continuous war, as if it had been discussed, and all the bereaved dogs who had been severely suppressed by the Tang Dynasty rose up and set off the battle flag against the Tang State.

Horse thieves, Beiyi cavalry, demon seeds made by Khorezm, Gaochang rebels, Shule rebels, Qiuzi rebels, and the Persian king Hassan is also preparing to make his tentacles reach the rich Silk Road......

The flames of war were burning, and the self-assertion of the Broken Leaf Prison Army seemed to have ignited a fuse, completely igniting the already turbulent Western Regions, and at this time, he couldn't clean up the situation at all.

Maybe he didn't think about cleaning up the situation from the beginning, but just to light this fuse and make an excuse for the empress to increase troops in the Western Regions.

But in any case, the troubled times have come, and since then, there has been no peace in the Western Regions!

......

At the beginning of the first year of the holy calendar, Li Bai descended on the seventh day of the King Continent.

Today's Great Wall is in full swing, and the people and soldiers who come and go are singing trumpets, transporting sleepers and boulders to the city wall to strengthen the city defense.

A complex car crossbow (that is, a bed crossbow) was assembled by the two mechanics and installed in the city tower, this is the only war machine that the two of them can make, originally a siege machine, created by the Tang Dynasty in history, it is not a very advanced technology, and it is not even as good as the wooden bird and other primary organs in the dense volume of the organ in Li Bai's hands.

These two people can't even be called serious mechanics, they can only be said to be military craftsmen.

However, this does not affect the horror of the power of the crossbow, according to the test, its range can reach up to 700 steps, "the city fortress in the place, all destroyed, the building also falls", can be called a city defense weapon.

However, with the skills of these two people, they can only do this, and in addition, I am afraid that they can really only repair waterwheels and make some farm tools.

As time passed, the broken gates were repaired, the stout arrows nailed to the walls were pulled out and filled, the blood was washed away, and the bodies were buried, and the war seemed to be completely gone.

Only some deep-rooted arrow pits, blood stains that have merged with the soil on the city walls, and many more tombs still record the great battle that has just ended.

Everyone is working hard and performing their duties, and the elite soldiers are exercising their physique at all times on the school field, contacting the military formation, while Li Bai is still practicing swordsmanship with Mulan.

The only one who can fight with her in the entire first line of defense is Li Bai, but he is still only abused, unless he is replaced by Qinglian Sword Immortal, but that kind of means is okay to save his life, if it is commonly used, he is likely to be schizophrenic and be robbed of the dominance of his body by Qinglian Sword Immortal.

The two of them are indistinguishable from each other, but Li Bai has a higher fit with his body, so he can control his body, and with the strength of his own will, he gradually and completely integrates the will of Qinglian Sword Immortal.

But if he repeatedly gives the dominance of his body to the Qinglian Sword Immortal, then the primary and secondary positions between them are likely to be reversed, of course, this is not a seizure, they share a soul, not to mention seizure, but this involves which of the two will can prevail.

If the Qinglian Sword Immortal had the upper hand, his temperament would most likely change drastically, which he couldn't bear.

Putting these aside, Li Bai has actually had a really easy time in the Great Wall in the past few days, although he is physically hard, he is constantly improving himself, so he does not feel tired, but looks forward to it every day......

Ahem, of course Li Bai won't admit that he actually enjoys his time with Mulan.

However, Hua Mulan knew that the undercurrent hidden under this peace was turbulent, and the immortal King of Lanling, who had the heart of the Tang Dynasty, was still watching this city wall, wanting to cause the deepest turmoil and chaos.

The Beiyi people who had been repulsed may also make a comeback, and some huge gangs of horse thieves in the Gobi may also sweep in and launch an attack on the Great Wall.

In the Western Regions, horse thieves were rampant due to the trade routes.

Many large gangs of horse thieves are even enough to build a small country with thousands of horse thieves gathering in the Gobi.

They did not produce, but often divided into small groups to plunder passing caravans, and sometimes gathered at the good orders of their chieftains, raided towns and towns, burned and plundered wherever they passed, and left no grass behind.

Some of the most powerful horse thief leaders can even raise their arms and gather tens of thousands of horse thieves, which is even more fierce than some large Beiyi tribes, and no one in the entire Western Regions dares to provoke them except for the Tang people, even the remaining Loulan and other countries are very jealous of them.

There is also a point worth mentioning - Li Bai has been promoted.

The original two Guoyi Commanders died one in battle, so he made up for it with the merit of beheading more than 100 Beiyi people, and became the Guoyi Commander of the First Line of Defense of the Great Wall.

Guoyi Duwei is the deputy of Tang Zhechong Duwei, and there are two people in each fold Chongfu, divided into left and right, and the Tang Dynasty respects the left, with the left as the top.

He belongs to the right, so he is now the third in command of the first line of defense, from the sixth grade, belongs to the Tang Dynasty military attaché, and can directly hold this position with a cloth cloth, which can be called a step to the sky.

However, after all, military attachés are not as noble as civil officials, and many military attachés of the first and second grades cannot be compared with the authority of civil officials of the third and fourth grades, and many high-ranking civil officials have mastered the magic and magic ways, and their strength alone is not comparable to that of ordinary military attachés.

In this era, it is not the real Tang Dynasty, the status of civil officials is particularly high, in addition, the status of those masters who have mastered the so-called "strange skills and tricks" is also very high, and the ranking of the so-called Shinong industry and commerce is simply not counted in this era.

It should be a parallel between scholars and workers, followed by agricultural merchants.

After all, civil officials are not powerless, and some civil officials who have mastered powerful demonic paths are even enough to launch demonic spells that destroy the world and destroy the world, which is extremely powerful.

"Although your swordsmanship inheritance is good, it is not skilled enough, and when you can resist the sword like an arm, it will be considered a small swordsmanship. Hua Mulan commented, "In addition, the physical fitness is also relatively poor, and I will personally take you to train when I come to the school every day in the future." ”

"Good. Li Bai smiled slightly bitterly, his family knows his own affairs, as long as he does not break through the knot pill one day, he will not want to make great progress, but it is also a good thing to increase his accumulation, and he can pave the way for himself to form a higher-level gold pill.

"By the way, I would like to invite you to eat something nice tonight. Li Bai said that there were many spices unique to later generations in the supplies he brought, and combined with local ingredients, he was able to make some very good food.

In the past few days, when I eat the local food here, my mouth is almost fading out of the bird, and it is good to eat a few less meals of ancient food when I try it, but once I eat too much, I will feel tired.

In this era, whether in China or in the West, spices were more valuable than gold.

For example, pepper was introduced by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty, and as soon as it entered the Han Dynasty, it immediately became the exclusive product of the upper class.

Marco Polo, describing Hangzhou in the 13th century, said that the city brought in 5 tons of Persian pepper in one day. He added that in southern China, the wealthy could enjoy meat marinated in several spices, while the lower classes could only smell garlic on their plates.

Chili peppers originated in Mexico in the Americas and were introduced to China at the end of the 16th century.

For people of this era, spices are definitely the most valuable things, but unfortunately he didn't bring too many of them before he came, mainly focusing on high-calorie foods such as air-dried beef, chocolate, and canned meat.

The first time he crossed, his idea of using the specialties of the two worlds for profit was not strong, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity at the moment.

It's just that he soon understood that there was nothing to pity about these things, because through inquiry, Li Bai learned that things from the other world could not be easily brought to reality, and that he needed to spend a certain amount of system currency for exchange, which was equivalent to paying "customs duties".

Although even so, the benefits are still considerable, but for Li Bai, the temptation is immediately reduced a lot.

After all, the system currency can only be exchanged for the reward amount, and cannot be directly charged into it for exchange.

He still needs to spend more money in the future, it is impossible to move a large amount of system money to make money for himself, and it is useless for him to ask for so much money, and there are no emergency patients at home waiting for money.

In addition, he also found that the original rule of the system not to carry weapons from reality is not limited to weapons at all, after all, there are many things that can be classified as weapons, but there are also many weapons that can be classified as other categories at all.

For example, a sniper rifle is disassembled into dozens of parts, and then brought into the Otherworld in batches, which is enough to directly assemble a sniper rifle in the Otherworld, successfully bypassing the rules of the system, after all, my parts can't be regarded as weapons, right?

Or simply search for the best ratio of gunpowder on the Internet, and then carry charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, etc. to make gunpowder in this world. Or even more ruthlessly, it is completely possible to get an infectious virus from reality and spread it to the other world, and then the other world without antibodies will inevitably suffer heavy losses because of this, and there will be no plan for death and injury!

The Spanish conquest of the Americas brought about an infectious disease that killed countless Indians, and the Black Death (bubonic plague) in the Middle Ages in Europe killed one-third of the population of Europe!

He guessed that before he arrived, he had been systematically cleansed of the viruses and bacteria he carried, otherwise he might have brought disaster to the world like the Spaniards who landed in the Americas.

Crossing is not a trivial matter, it contains a lot of taboos, and these have to rely on Li Bai to explore and take the initiative to consult the system, otherwise the system will not take the initiative to tell him.

Hua Mulan raised her eyebrows, obviously not believing what Li Bai said: "It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, and you can also cook?"

Li Bai smiled slightly, and just as he wanted to say something, he saw a Tang army striding into the school field and hurriedly reported to Mulan: "Captain Huadu, a caravan has been attacked by horse thieves, will we send troops to help?"

Hua Mulan frowned and said, "Where did the caravan come from?"

Tang Jun said respectfully: "Look at the flag, it should be Loulan people." ”

"Have you found out how many people are on the other side?"

"No less than five hundred. ”

Hua Mulan nodded, although five hundred people are not many, but the horse thieves are a rabble, except for the core members of the most powerful horse thief gang, which is far from the Beiyi cavalry.

She said to Li Bai: "Captain Li, pass the order, and order a hundred cavalry to fight with me!"

Li Bai said solemnly: "The last general will take the order." ”

[Ah, it's finally time to start the plot again, and it's been too dull to watch daily life these days. 】

[Phew, what kind of moth, see how good Huahua and Xiaobai practice swords. 】

[Xiaobai originally planned to cook vegetables for Huahua to eat. 】

[I remember that it seems that Li Bai has a leg with Princess Loulan in the background story. 】

[Paralyzed, if he dares to betray Huahua, I will fight with him!]

[What, Huahua is obviously mine.] 】
