The room was very simple, and there was not too much decoration, but there was a knife rack against the wall, and the war knife on it was Mulan's war knife, and now it stayed quietly on it, although it was not held in the hand of the owner, but there was still a heavy atmosphere of the battlefield.

Gao Changgong glanced at Mulan, who was kneeling opposite, smiled, drank all the spirits in the cup, and let out a satisfied sigh with his eyes closed.

"How's it going?" said Magnolia.

"Yes, it's still old. But ......" Gao Changgong smiled, and threw the wine glass in his hand back, and the wine glass drew an arc in the air, and a drop of crystal wine fell in the middle, followed by a "bang" cracking sound.

The door was suddenly forcefully opened, and the faces of the Great Wall soldiers waiting outside the door for orders were full of vigilance.

The habit of the Great Wall, people do not leave the knife, and the knife does not leave the person. The swords on the waists of the sergeants had been slowly pulled out by half a foot, and several people had their knees bent and their backs arched, and with only one force, the swords could split a heavy wind in an instant.

However, when they found the peaceful scene in the room, several people were stunned again, and the war knives in their hands could no longer continue outward, stuck in the middle, looking a little embarrassed.

Gao Changgong knelt on the blanket on the floor, still looking idle, stretched, and said with a smile: "Wine is good wine, but it's a pity that the host is too stingy, how can you entertain guests with such a small wine jug and wine glass?"

Mulan smiled, looked at the Great Wall sergeant who was a little helpless with his sword, and said, "Bring another jar of wine and ask for a sea bowl." There's no need to serve here anymore, I'm going to talk to the general about something, so you can grab the wine and go." ”

The Great Wall sergeants nodded, but the eyes of several people fell on the back of Gao Changgong, who was not burly, and their eyes flashed with a light of distrust, but Mulan's order was absolute, although they were a little unwilling, they still saluted with both hands, turned around, and strode away.

When the sea bowl and the wine jar were already on the table, Gao Changgong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to move the jar of wine, but he heard Mulan say softly: "Don't be busy, if you want to drink this jar of wine, you have to have an explanation." ”

"What do you mean?" Gao Changgong paused in his hand, but he couldn't help but continue to move forward, pouring the spirits from the jar into the sea bowl, smelling the rich aroma of wine, before raising his head and saying.

Mulan was sitting in danger, just as she was in the main hall at that time: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace." Since the general is here, there must be something to find me. Talk first, then drink. ”

"I'm just here to see an old friend. Gao Changgong said with a hippie smile: "Drink first and drink first, such a good wine, but don't drink it in front of you, this is called a violent thing." ”

Mulan frowned: "You are still so lazy." Do you remember what we said the day you left the Wall?"

"You didn't know me for the first day, either...... We talked so much that day, where can I remember everything?" Gao Changgong moved the sea bowl to his mouth and raised his head to drink.

Although the grain production of the Great Wall is limited, the martial folk customs still make the soju brewed by the Great Wall as thick as fire, and even the barbarians of the Canghai Kingdom are sincerely admired. The seemingly clear liquor entered Gao Changgong's throat, and immediately turned into thousands of knives and mercilessly began to cut his throat.

If you change to other Jingwu people to drink wine, I am afraid that I will have to squirt out on the spot. And Gao Changgong only frowned slightly when he took the first sip, but he forcibly endured the feeling of discomfort.

The next thing was to swallow incessantly, and the wine entered his throat as if a wildfire had been ignited, and in an instant it was like a fire, and the heat was like magma, all the way from his throat to his stomach, as if it had roasted all the organs of his body.

The sound of "coo" sounded in the room, and he drank all the wine in the bowl of the sea, reached out and wiped his chin with his sleeve, and coughed slightly.

He recalled that back then, he galloped on the Great Wall, looking at the vast land that stretched into the distance under the city wall, and his heart was extremely excited.

At that time, he also drank the spirits of the Great Wall, and he could even drink a pot of noodles with Mulan without changing the color, where would he feel uncomfortable because of the burning of this spirit?

It's all about the past.

Mulan prepares a cup for him, but he has to use the Huihai bowl again, and finally proves that Mulan is the right one.

However, Mulan looked at him quietly, and suddenly sighed: "Even if you pretend not to know, but the four words 'time has passed' have long been engraved into your bone marrow, how can you get rid of it?"

Hearing Mulan's words, Gao Changgong put his hand down, and the bottom of the empty sea bowl collided lightly with the tabletop, and a sound sounded in the room, like a sigh.

"Mulan ......"

"Pay attention to your identity...... Tall General. Mulan reminded coldly, her eyes flashing with a hint of unquestionable determination.

Gao Changgong's voice froze for a moment, and then he said slowly: "Mulan...... Checkmate. ”

Although it was only four words, Gao Changgong said it very slowly, as if these four words carried a thousand pounds of weight, which overwhelmed him as a god of war in the world.

"General Mulan-" Gao Changgong repeated again, as if he was talking to himself, but he finally said these four words more fluently, but because of this, he felt the heat in his stomach slowly cool down, and the smile on his face disappeared inch by inch, he thought of Zhuge Wanling's tired face under the shadow of the cocoon candle in the palace, and thought of his skeleton that seemed to be about to collapse at any time......

"Has General Mulan ever heard of the name Mao Chen?" Gao Changgong raised his eyes and asked.

Mao Chen, this is the last time Gao Changgong tracked down, the name of the assassin he nailed to death with a spear, since the assassination of Zhuge Wanling, the power under his hands has been constantly investigating all kinds of clues.

The assassin he captured was really a tough guy, and he endured in prison for half a month, and finally died of blood all over his body, without revealing the slightest message.

However, people in this world are like walking on snow, but whenever they walk, they will always leave some traces.

Following the dead assassin, Gao Changgong traced it all the way, and finally found the Great Wall Mission. It can be said that this result is very unexpected, Jing Wu's speculation about this assassination was all instructed by people in the Shi clan, but the two assassins are both northerners, and one is even a member of the Great Wall Mission, even if the Great Wall Mission says that this matter has nothing to do with them, who can believe it?

Mulan nodded slightly, as if she had been waiting for a long time, and before Gao Changgong could continue to speak, she had already stood up first and beckoned, "Come with me." ”

The two left the room and walked side by side along a courtyard wall, all the way to the deepest part of the house, two Great Wall sergeants in armor and with solemn faces according to their swords guarded the gate of the courtyard on the left and the right, and saw Mulan and Gao Changgong coming together, and saluted respectfully.

Mulan waved her hand slightly, and the two left quietly.

"Just stand outside the door and don't make a sound. Mulan said this almost in the lowest voice, and instead pushed the door open, and walked straight in.

Although Gao Changgong didn't understand what Mulan meant, with his physique, he could hear the movement inside through the door, so he stood quietly outside the door very obediently.

"General. ”

In the room, Mulan's face seemed to have a layer of frost, she looked at the man who was covered with whip marks and looked weak when sitting on the chair, raised her chin and said, "Let's talk about it......"

"Huh...... What to say, what else can be said...... I'm afraid that if what Lu Ming said is not in line with the general's wishes, it will hurt the general's heart, so it's better not to say it. The man smiled weakly, and although he had been tortured, his eyes were still sharp, and he said, "But since the general wants to ask, I am willing to answer." ”

Mulan's sharp eyes looked at the man from top to bottom, as if she was getting to know this person again.

This person's name is Lu Ming, and he is the deputy general who has followed her for many years, and for a long time, he has been responsible for the liaison diplomacy between the Great Wall and the four countries.

This time he went south with the army, which was also to facilitate negotiations with Jing Wu.

However, she would never have thought that an earth-shattering assassination in the main hall of Jingwu Palace was actually from this person.

If it weren't for the fact that she recognized the assassin's face before his death in the main hall, she would not have been able to detect that such a wild wolf was hiding beside her.

Lu Ming didn't have any restraints on his body, just because Mulan knew that he couldn't get out. Although he was originally not weak in cultivation, in front of Mulan, it was really not enough to see. She had already used extremely heavy techniques to block Lu Ming's dantian, making it difficult for his qi and blood to function, let alone walking out of this room, even if she got up from a chair, she was afraid that it would be impossible.

"Why?" it seemed like a no-brainer question.

However, Lu Ming understood that what Mulan was asking was, of course, a shocking stab at Zhuge Wanling on the top of the Jingwu Palace.

"Of course – for the Great Wall. Lu Ming tugged at the corners of his mouth weakly, and smiled extremely sadly.

Mulan sneered and raised her eyebrows, and said, "For the Great Wall, when did my great man of the Great Wall fall to the point where he wanted to use this flesh and blood to do such a thing as assassinating Prime Minister Jing Wu? Those are two lives, two people who can survive on the fierce battlefield, but they are ...... One was nailed to the plaque, and the other was bleeding in prison! You say, what the hell are you doing for the Great Wall?"

Saying this, her anger seemed to be ignited in an instant, and she raised her voice like a lion roaring: "They would not have died! Even if they did, they should have died on the battlefield of righteousness and light! But now, they will be accused of being an 'assassin' for the rest of their lives!"

Lu Ming didn't speak, and his head was still high and slowly lowered.

Mulan calmed down the anger in her chest, stared at Lu Ming's face for a long time, and suddenly thought of Canghai's generosity in this grain borrowing, and said softly: "Are you ready to stay on the Great Wall anymore, but want to follow Cao Meng?"
