"Twenty-one!"

"Twenty-two!"

"Twenty-three!"

Putting down the stone on his shoulder, Li Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Looking back, the passage of the city gate has been completely cleared.

At this moment, Lu Bu also put down the stone on his shoulder.

Li Mao smiled and asked the onlookers: "Everyone, between me and General Lu, who moves more?" ”

"Just as much!"

"It's twenty-three!"

The onlookers replied.

Li Mao nodded with a smile on his face, turned his head and said to Lu Bu: "General Lu is really brave, I lost!" ”

Lu Bu said proudly: "Your Majesty and the last general are both twenty-three stones, how can they be counted as a tie!" ”

Li Mao nodded, the expression on her face unchanged, "Then it's a tie." ”

Now.

The rain has subsided, and the thunder has long since disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still a foot of water on the ground, no one would have believed that a quarter of an hour ago it was pouring rain.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible for Li Longji to run far.

But it's not realistic to say that you should chase it now.

Countless small points of light were already lit up in the distance.

The mountains are all over the wilderness, everywhere, who knows which place is Li Longji.

Starting from the Mingde Gate, if you flee due south, you can go to the Blue Pass.

If you go west, you will go to Dasanguan.

If you go east, you can get to Tongguan.

Every path could be Li Longji's choice.

Li Mao is not easy to judge, and he doesn't want to chase rashly.

He planned to wait for the dawn to directly gather the troops and horses and find a way to recover Tongguan.

Tongguan is the throat of Guanzhong, and it is dangerous.

Under normal circumstances, it is a difficult hurdle to overcome.

When An Lushan rebelled, he was almost blocked out of Tongguan.

If it weren't for Li Longji's indiscriminate command, An Lushan would have died of a violent illness if he couldn't wait to capture Tongguan.

At that time, Chang'an City had not been lost, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty had not been swept away.

If the Tongguan Pass is held, the local festival will not form a big tail in a short period of time.

"Tongguan is a place I must take!"

Li Mao muttered.

After Lu Bu heard it beside him, he immediately said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely be able to take down Tongguan." ”

"Fengxian, after the dawn, you immediately gather your troops and horses and go straight to Tongguan."

"The last general commands!"

Lu Bu turned around and began to prepare for the expedition.

Li Mao sat casually on the stone.

Dressed in civilian clothes, he looks no different from the swingers in Chang'an City.

The rising sun brings life to all things.

The long-lost electronic synthesized sound sounded again.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task and rewarding the famous minister to celebrate his father.] 】

For this reward, Li Mao was not interested at all.

Qing's father is a person who sow discord, maybe it's better not to receive it!

Just as Li Mao was secretly thinking about it, the electronic synthesis sound in his mind sounded again.

[The main quest is released, the mountains and rivers are blocked in the pass, the west is limited to the scattered pass, and the east is bounded by Tongguan. If the host wants to dominate the world, it must first take Guanzhong as its foundation. 】

[The host is limited to occupying one of the Sanguan or Tongguan within a month, and the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian will be rewarded for completing the task, and the system will be unbound if the task fails. 】

The task released by the system did not surprise Li Mao.

According to the previous logic, system tasks have always been the most important thing at present.

If Tongguan was not occupied, the army of King Qin in the eastern part of the country would easily reach Chang'an City.

Under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, Chang'an City could never be defended.

Not to mention that Li Mao doesn't have so many troops in his hands, it's just hundreds of thousands of mouths in Chang'an City, and under the blockade, they can empty the treasury.

As for the task reward of the system, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, Li Mao still wants it a little.

This person is at least more useful than Qingfu.

Although Wei Zhongxian is extremely controversial in history, this person is indeed an expert in making money.

After the toss of the two emperors of Jiajing and Wanli, the financial system of the Ming Dynasty has collapsed.

The salaries of the border army could not be paid, and the masses in the disaster-stricken areas of Shaanxi could not provide relief, and there were many holes and sores everywhere.

At least in the years when the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in power and Wei Zhongxian was appointed, the finances could still be maintained, and the Northeast was still pressed by the Jurchen Tartars.

There was no major civil unrest in the disaster-stricken areas.

"It doesn't matter what his system reward is, it's better than nothing anyway!"

Li Mao secretly thought to himself that the main tasks of the system were all problems that he was about to face, and it was impossible not to complete them.

That's right!

There is a main quest, why didn't you hear the side quest?

Suddenly, Li Mao noticed a text loophole in the system.

"System, why haven't you posted a side quest?"

Li Mao shouted directly in his heart.

[Side quests are based on the speed at which the host completes the main quest, and whether to release them or not!] 】

Electronic synthesized sound starts.

After Li Mao listened, she felt like she had been insulted.

He thinks that the speed of completing the main quest is fast enough, how can he not trigger the side quest?

"System, how long do you determine the time for the main quest to be completed before the side quest is released?"

[The main quest of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, if the host completes it within fifteen minutes after release, the side quest can be triggered.] 】

[The main quest to capture the palace can trigger the side quest if the host completes it within an hour of release.] 】

[The main quest to occupy Chang'an City, if the host is completed within twelve hours of release, the side quest can be triggered.] 】

[The main quest to occupy Sanguan or Tongguan can be triggered if the host completes it within three days of release.] 】

After Li Mao listened, he only wanted to scold people in his heart.

He already felt that he was fast enough, but he didn't expect the system's requirements to be even more perverted.

If you fight exactly as you trigger the hidden mission, even an iron fighter can't bear it.

Could it be that there are better rewards in hidden missions?

Pistol?

Machine gun?

Tank?

Or an airplane?

Other than that, Li Mao really couldn't think of any way to increase the speed required by the system.

"And what are the rewards for side quests?"

[The rewards of side quests are uncertain and are determined based on the completion of the host's quests.] 】

Li Mao immediately understood.

That said, the faster you can complete it, the more rewarding it will be.

The name that comes to mind is the Mingjun system.

A guess arose spontaneously in Li Mao's heart.

Is it necessary to complete the side quests in order to reward the loyal ministers and good generals in history to help him realize his desire to be a king of the ages?

After thinking of it, Li Mao shouted directly in his heart and asked the system.

The system was also extremely face-saving and replied immediately.

[The Mingjun system is determined to help the host grow into a Mingjun through the ages, and the reward content is mainly for famous ministers in history. 】

If you say it, you don't say it!

Li Mao scolded in her heart.

The traitor is also a famous minister in history!

But the only thing that is certain is that the rewards for side quests are still people.
