Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 75 White Horse Leaving Chang'an

The list of envoys to the Turks was quickly finalized.

In addition to Lin Heng, Li Shimin assigned him two people.

Lin Heng had not had much contact with Wang Jingchuan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and the third-in-command of the Ministry of Rites, but his listening and speaking skills were pretty good.

Su Dingfang, the general of Zuowei Zhonglang, was the first to conquer the Eastern Turks, but he was granted an official position from the fourth rank and was never promoted.

Once the personnel are settled, the mission will only take a day or two.

He finally settled his wife's heart, but Lin Heng was caught off guard by Li Ningxi's sudden attack that night.

You have to take the initiative next time!
At Wang Jingchuan's house, Lin Heng came specially to pay a visit.

An official in his thirties looked like a poor scholar. When he learned that he was going to the Turks together, he was dumbfounded.

That place is really not for people to go to!

Wang Jingchuan has not been to the Ministry of Rites for the past two days, and is beating his chest at home until Lin Heng comes to visit.

"My lord!"

Seeing Lin Heng's arrival, Wang Jingchuan took a deep breath. Although he didn't know why His Majesty chose him, after all, things were settled and could not be changed, so he could only settle for the status quo.

"I've met Lin's Consort."

Seeing Wang Jingchuan's dejected look, Lin Heng was a little confused.

"Master Wang, has something happened at home recently? Why are you not energetic at all?"

Wang Jingchuan shook his head: "Consort Lin, I just feel a little irritable. Everything at home is fine."

Lin Heng nodded: "Is that so? Is it because of the mission to the Turks?"

Wang Jingchuan shook his head again: "It is a good thing to be sent as an envoy to the Turks. It is an honorable envoy on behalf of the Tang Dynasty. I am just a little worried."

Seeing this, Lin Heng said seriously: "Master Wang, just don't worry, I will take care of everything, let's talk more."

He came closer and patted Wang Jingchuan on the shoulder, who looked at Lin Heng with confusion.

"If something happens to you, I will never let you be shrouded in horse leather. I will at least bring your ashes to Madam."

Wang Jingchuan looked at Lin Heng with a serious look on his face, as if he was still saying that your lady can just leave it to me to take care of her, don't worry!

What should I do if I really want to whip him!
After 'comforting' Wang Jingchuan, Lin Heng went to Su Dingfang's house.

Su Lie, also known as Dingfang, was one of the most meritorious generals in the Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Eastern Turks.

Lin Heng, who had read Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties since childhood, knew something about this name. The villain framed a righteous member of the Luo family, betrayed the country for glory, and framed a loyal person in order to join the Li and Tang dynasties. In short, he was hated by everyone. kind of.

But in history, the record of Su Dingfang is that he was a truly great hero. In his early years, he hated fighting and lived in seclusion in the mountains. Later, he was inspired by Li Shimin's style of governing the country, and was later used by Li Tang.

During the conquest of the Turks, he and General Li Jing led two hundred soldiers and horses deep into the enemy's territory, catching them off guard and almost decapitating Jieli Khan's head.

The slander against Su Dingfang in the Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties is simply groundless and has no basis at all!

And Lin Heng also quickly met this famous general who was not reused.

The man was also in his 30s, with a burly build and dark skin above his neck. He exuded a blood tempered in the military. At this time, the man was training the martial arts of his family's younger generations.

Seeing Lin Heng, Su Dingfang cupped his hands and said, "I've met Lin Heng before."

Lin Heng also returned the gift with his hand. Lin Heng respected General Su in his heart.

Su Dingfang immediately called the guest to come to the house to train on his behalf, and then walked to Lin Heng's side.

"Lin Consort, if you don't want to send an envoy to the Turks, you can actually talk to your Majesty. Your Majesty is not an unkind person."

This was the first thing Su Dingfang said to Lin Heng, considering his status as consort and the fact that he felt a little thin when he saw him.

Lin Heng smiled and said: "Why did General Su say this? Does it seem like he was forced?"

Military generals generally have little opportunity to speak, and as long as it does not involve His Majesty, they will not deliberately restrict it.Su Dingfang twitched the corner of his mouth, with a look that seemed a little contemptuous: "Changsun Wuji must have some plan for you. If you go to the Turks, you will fall into his plan."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Heng's expression, still with a smile on his face.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "The soldiers are coming to block the water and the earth. It is definitely impossible to hide. You might as well go. Besides, he may not be able to succeed."

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily. He had a certain fondness for Lin Heng, after all, he had done something that shocked the capital before.

Moreover, he liked the song "The Spring Breeze is Proud of Horseshoes and I See All the Flowers in Chang'an in One Day" even more.

He has never liked scholars. He is obsessed with calculating this and that. When he really needs them, he will run faster than anyone else.

Therefore, he admired Lin Heng's efforts in rescuing refugees.

Su Dingfang smiled heartily and said: "It seems that Consort Lin can also see some things. I am afraid something will happen when I go to Turks. Otherwise, you will not be pushed out by Changsun Wuji. Are you really not afraid?"

"Scared!"

Lin Heng suddenly said something that confused Su Dingfang again. Didn't he just say that he wasn't afraid?

Lin Heng continued: "Who is not afraid of going to war? There are a few people who can stay calm when they see dead people. They are not afraid on face, but they are still afraid in their hearts, afraid of becoming dead people like them."

Su Dingfang chewed on the meaning of these words, and nodded after a moment: "It makes sense. It seems that Consort Lin is not being forced by anyone. Just rest assured, as long as I, Su Dingfang, am here, no one will be able to touch you."

Lin Heng cupped his hands and said, "Then I'd like to thank General Su. It's still early today. Why don't you go to Tiantian Residence to try some new dishes and cook something for me?"

"Okay, I heard that a guy from the Ministry of Etiquette is also going, how about asking him to come with us?"

Lin Heng chuckled and said, "I went to his house before coming to Su Mansion and told him that if he died, I would bring his ashes back. I probably don't dare to come here now."

Hearing this, Su Dingfang burst into laughter. None of those literati cherished their lives. Going to the Turks must have scared their legs to the point of weakness. After hearing what Lin Heng said, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight.

This kid is quite interesting, Su Dingfang thought.

In the next two days, Lin Heng was running around Chang'an, arranging or issuing any tasks. All in all, he was extremely busy these two days.

The day of the mission soon came, and we were ready to go.

Li Shimin and many other ministers gathered in front of Zhuque Gate and served wine to each other.

In the eyes of all the ministers, most of them were gloating about misfortune. They most hoped that Lin Heng would die in Turks like this, but how could Lin Heng fulfill their wish.

Li Ningxi held Lin Heng's hand in front of everyone, with tears in her eyes.

Although the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty were open, people would still criticize her if she held a man's hand in public, but Li Ningxi didn't care about this.

Lin Heng looked at Li Ningxi and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back well. If anyone dares to touch me, I will spray them to death!"

Li Ningxi obviously didn't know what Lin Heng was talking about as a troll. At this moment, she was more concerned about the moments she spent with Lin Heng.

"I don't want you to come back with any fame. As long as you can come back, Ning Xi will be happy."

"Yes, I will."

"If you don't come back, Ning Xi will look for you."

"Most definitely."

Led by Lin Heng, Su Dingfang, and Wang Jingchuan, there were 1000 Su family soldiers, a mighty team.

Lin Heng looked back and saw Li Shimin, Changsun Wugu, Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi, Li Tai and others, Cheng Huaiyi, Yuchi Baolin, Gao Xingcheng, Chu Suiliang, Wang Bo.

Li Ningxi looked at her with longing eyes.

Zhuque Street was filled with people who saw him off together.

The leader was dressed in a green shirt, carrying a sword on his left hand and a spray gun on his right. The sunlight was slanting down, and he looked like a god.

"Oh, the white horse comes out of Chang'an!"
