Moreover, this soldier had an extraordinary bearing. He gave off a completely different feeling from the other guards. As a general, Hua Mulan was still very confident when it came to looking at soldiers.
Instantly, Hua Mulan's eyes lit up.
"This soldier wants to inquire about a person.”
Hua Mulan walked over and said to the soldier who was in high spirits.
"May I ask who General is asking about?”
It was fine if he didn't open his mouth, but when the soldier in front of him opened his mouth and spoke, his voice was like a loud bell, high and clear. Moreover, his tone was firm, and he didn't reject people a thousand miles away.
Hua Mulan was instantly energized. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she stared at the soldiers in front of her.
"Li Xin!"
"Oh, then General is asking the right person. I am Li Xin!”
Hua Mulan's eyes were burning, and there seemed to be flames hidden in her eyes. Her aura was overbearing. Very few people had the courage and ability to look directly into Hua Mulan's eyes, except for Li Xin.
Li Xin and Hua Mulan's eyes met in the air without any intention of dodging.
Facing Hua Mulan, a famous general, Li Xin, who was just a small soldier, did not bow down to her, but he did not have a trace of repulsive arrogance.
Hua Mulan remained calm on the surface, but she was very appreciative of Li Xin in her heart.
"As expected of someone His Majesty has taken a fancy to!"
At the border of the Great Wall, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. There was a great distance between the soldiers on night duty. Therefore, Hua Mulan was not afraid of being overheard. She simply stood there and prepared to start her plan.
"He's so extraordinary. He doesn't go to a bigger place to make a name for himself, but he's willing to stay at the border of the Great Wall and be an unknown soldier.”
"The Great Tang is now at its peak. The barbarians on the border will not be foolish enough to come over and contribute to your army.”
Hua Mulan paused for a moment, hoping to see something from Li Xin's face.
However, Li Xin had a smile on his face as he looked at Hua Mulan, as if he was waiting for Hua Mulan's next move.
Hua Mulan smiled in her heart, without any disgust. On one hand, she admired Li Xin more and more, and on the other hand, she admired Emperor Xuan Yong's discerning eyes.
"I, His Majesty Xuan Yong, swept through the six countries with iron and blood, opening up the past and the present, unifying them. I destroyed the Xiongnu army on the northern city walls and recruited the wise men from all directions in the Hall of Glory.”
"Your Majesty values friendship and cherishes talents. All the people with lofty aspirations in the world have come.”
"Now, Xuan Yong, with his extraordinary talents and talented generals, has gathered together and displayed their skills. Under the wise leadership of His Majesty, Xuan Yong's national strength will grow at a shocking speed.”
"His Majesty Xuan Yong has heard of you for a long time. Before I left, His Majesty personally instructed…"
At this point, Hua Mulan's implication was already very obvious.
"I believe that His Majesty would not have misjudged someone.”
Hua Mulan added.
"I am indebted to Your Majesty Xuan Yong's favor.”
"Let's not talk about recruitment for now, but I have a request.”
Speaking up to this point, Li Xin's gaze was very sincere.
"Please speak."
"Can you tell General Su Lie to let me join you in this operation in the Sea of Winter?”
The Great Tang and Xuan Yong had sent a joint force to the Cold Winter Sea to search for the secrets of miracles. This matter was not kept secret, so Li Xin knew about it and was fascinated by it.
"Alright, I'll tell him."
Hua Mulan also knew that if she wanted to recruit a talent like Li Xin, she couldn't be in a hurry. She left after giving her instructions.
Moreover, regarding Li Xin, His Majesty had secretly instructed him to recommend him to the Great Tang once he was discovered, exposing him to the higher-ups of the Tang.
With this in mind, Hua Mulan came to Su Lie's tent and recommended Li Xin to go to the Sea of Winter together.
…………….
The next morning, someone summoned Li Xin to General Su Lie's tent.
"General!"
Facing Su Lie, Li Xin cupped his fists.
"From now on, you will join us in our mission to the Winter Sea.”
"Xuan Yong's General Hua said she found a talent. I hope you won't disappoint me.”
Su Lie was a straightforward person. Last night, Hua Mulan had mentioned it slightly, and Su Lie had agreed.
"Understood!"
Li Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, his expression shocked!
"Alright, pack your things. We'll set off with the army in an hour.”
An hour later, Hua Mulan, Baili Shouyue, Baiqi, and Kai each brought thirty personal guards.
Li Yuanfang, Su Lie, Cheng Yaojin, Li Xin, and the three hundred elites of the Tang Empire left the border of the Great Wall and headed for the Cold Winter Sea.
