Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Just when Fan Xin led the eighty cavalry to Nanyang, Wolong Villa was a heavily guarded scene.

As the most famous restaurant in the area, many literati and poets come here to commemorate Zhuge Liang's life and deeds.

But today they were all blocked out.

Because the Turkic mission is visiting here.

"Great Khan, as the governor of Dengzhou, I would like to give you a drink, please!"

The governor Tang Dayuan raised the horn cup with both hands to signal, raised his neck and poured it into his belly.

Mo Chui and his daughter looked at each other, then raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp, wiping his mouth at the end.

"This Khan had always heard about Mr. Zhuge's deeds when he was in Turks. Today, I was lucky enough to come to his former residence. I am so grateful."

At this time, a Turkic general came forward and bowed, caressing his chest.

"Dear Turkic Great Khan, the mission's replenishment of food and fodder has been completed, and we can go to Luoyang, the sacred capital."

"understood."

Signaling his generals to retreat, Mo Chui smiled at the Tang governor.

"This Khan has important things to do when he comes to see the Emperor of Zhou, so he won't disturb your place. Farewell!"

"I respectfully send you the Great Khan!"

After sending the Turkic envoys out of the city gate, Tang Dayuan gradually frowned deeply.

"What's wrong, Governor Tang?" His subordinates asked suspiciously when they noticed that his expression was not right.

Tang Dayuan said with a solemn expression.

"I don't know why I'm so flustered, I always feel like something is about to happen."

"By the way, are the meals for the Turkic envoys normal?" Tang Dayuan asked as if he remembered something.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, the wine and food at Wolong Villa are all made by lower officials, and we guarantee that they will not affect the Turks on their way.

"Then I can rest assured. In this way, you can lead a few teams of officers and soldiers to follow the boundary marker to avoid any accidents in Dengzhou.

"Subordinate to obey!"

The green-robed official looked at Tang Dayuan's back expressionlessly for a while, then turned and left Wolong Villa.

……

Wolong Hills, small woods.

Hundreds of Turkic cavalry held their swords in hand and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests with vigilant eyes.

Behind them, Mo Chui and his daughter were sitting in the car talking.

"What's wrong Yinzhu? Father Khan saw you were silent all the way. Is there anything on your mind?"

Yinzhu glanced at his father and shook his head.

“It’s nothing, I just feel a little uneasy for no reason.

Mo Chui said nonchalantly.

"Father Khan knows what you are worried about. Most of those who surrendered to the Turks are Khitan and Wei clan members."

"They hate the Tang Dynasty in their bones, so they will naturally oppose our alliance with Wu Zetian."

"But don't worry, there are Leopard Division and Tiger Division stationed nearby, and they can't climb over the waves yet.

Seeing that her father was so confident, Princess Yinzhu's uneasiness dissipated a little.

Hearing this, he said curiously.

"Father Khan, do you think the royal descendants of the Zhou Dynasty are as powerful as Fan Xin?"

Thinking of that high-spirited young man, Yin Zhu asked curiously with his small face.

Mo Chu glanced and curled his lips.

"Yinzhu, Father Khan knows that you like that boy. To be honest, Father Khan also appreciates his character."

"But you have to understand that Fan Xin is just a fourth-grade petty official, he has no soldiers and no backers.

If the court makes a casual statement, he will be deprived of his official position.

"Such people have no value to us Turks."

"What we want is a hero who can call the shots in the Zhou Dynasty and hold a large number of troops and power."

"The last thing I have to do is be a son or grandson of the dragon who has the protection of the royal family."

"So you should give up your heart."

Hearing these heartfelt words, a flash of unwillingness flashed in Yin Zhu's eyes. "Fan Xin is still young. I believe he will definitely become a high official in the future."

"young?"

Mo Chui sneered disdainfully: "What's the use of being young? People like Fan Xin can only be ranked as a fourth-grade governor at the highest."

"If you want to cross this threshold, the Yellow River water will flow backwards."

"Yinzhu, my father has been dealing with the Han people for many years and knows Wu Zetian's character well."

"She's too suspicious and there's no way she can reuse a young guy like Fan Xin."

"You'd better give up on this idea.

Yinzhu remained silent. Although the words were unpleasant, she knew that what her father said was true.

Just the thought of not being able to marry the person she admired made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her expression, Mo Chui sighed.

"Son, there is an old saying among the Han people that the most important thing in marriage is to be well-matched.

"No matter how heroic Fan Xin is, he is still a small fourth-grade, third-grade official of the Department of Justice."

"With such a status, it is impossible for me to marry you as my wife."

"The noble Ashina family cannot afford to lose such a person."

Unless he can become a hero with great military exploits like General Longhu of Shangzhu Kingdom.

Although Mo Chui was in the Turks, he was extremely concerned about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty.

He was completely shocked when he learned that General Longhu of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty had severely damaged Tubo with a force of [-] troops.

Mo Chui did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would have a God of War who could rival Li Jing.

Therefore, he quickly brought his daughter to Datang to get married and consolidate the relationship between the two countries.

At the same time, the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

"Xiaorun, I heard that General Niu Guang said that you have been promoted to the fourth rank of Jinwu Guards Zhonglang General?" Li Xian asked excitedly.

After receiving the confirmed answer, all the officials held their hands in congratulations.

"Congratulations to the Crown Prince, congratulations to the Crown Prince. If the Turkic Princess knew that you were in the fourth rank, she would definitely take a high look at you."

"Yes, I heard yesterday that Wu Sansi's second son was promoted to the fourth rank. I was worried about him for a long time."

"I didn't expect the prince to be stronger than him."

Facing the praise from everyone, Li Chongrun said proudly.

"Thanks to all my uncles, my nephew is just lucky."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, several King Wu guards wearing cloaks strode in holding copper fish charms.

"Jinwu Guard Lieutenant General Li Chongrun listens to the order! The Turkic mission is about to be attacked in Dengzhou. General Zhang Huan orders you to quickly lead people to rescue."

"There must be no mistakes or military law will be engaged!"

After watching the guards leave, Li Xian turned around and looked at the people with deep frowns.

"Gentlemen, what do you think of this attack on the Turkic mission?"

Yuan Shu coughed and said calmly.

"Judging from his powerful connections, he should be a killer sent by Wu Sansi to prevent the prince from marrying a Turkic princess."

"If we can seize the opportunity to resolve the attack on the mission, the benefits will undoubtedly be huge."

"That's right, Your Highness, as long as the Crown Prince rescues the Turkic mission, are you afraid that he won't be able to win the princess's heart?"

"This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is really rare, so please give the order."

At the critical moment, Li Chongrun stood up from the crowd and cupped his fists.

"Father, I would like to lead a team of Jinwu Guards to rescue, please allow me!"

Li Xian nodded solemnly.

"Since all the ministers agree to rescue the Turkic mission, then you can go.

"Remember, when you rescue people, you must show your style in front of the Turkic princess!"

"Let her see who is the youngest hero in the Tang Dynasty!"
