"I heard of the victory at the frontier fortress, the destruction of the Jinwu tribe, and the killing of ten thousand barbarians. I was delighted. This battle shook the hearts of the people of the Great Tang, raised the might of the Great Tang, and achieved unparalleled achievements. Although the world is stable now, and there are internal and external troubles, we are in need of manpower. Cheng Zhijie is concerned about the Great Tang.
After receiving the imperial edict, Cheng Zhijie and Niu Jinda will lead the rest of the troops to triumph in Chang 'an and wait for your return. I will personally lead the civil and military officials of the court to welcome you from ten miles away.
I order my son, Mu Chen, to continue the reign of the Great Tang for his meritorious service in defeating the barbarians. He will be granted the title of Marquis of Border Protection, a mansion, 100 servants, and 1,000 acres of fertile land!”
After Supervisor Wang finished reading the imperial edict, he carefully rolled it up with a smile and handed it to Cheng Yaojin.
"General Cheng, General Niu, please get up!”
"Yo, this young man must be that legendary young warrior, Marquis Mu, right? This lowly one greets Marquis Mu!"
Who was Supervisor Wang? That was a character with great power.
Having been by Li Er's side all year round, he had long trained his eyes and ears to be able to see and hear everything.
Observing people's expressions was just his basic skill.
If he didn't have this ability, he probably wouldn't have been able to get to where he was today in his lifetime.
When he glanced at Mu Chen, he immediately recognized him as the person mentioned in the imperial edict, Mu Chen, who had just become a Marquis.
As the chief eunuch of the inner court, Supervisor Wang had always found it strange.
Although Mu Chen was very capable, he had overturned the entire Turkic tribe and killed tens of thousands of barbarian warriors.
Even so, His Majesty wouldn't just confer a Marquis right from the start.
In Chang 'an, there were only a handful of Marquises, but only a few dozen.
Although he had the ability, he had already been conferred the title of Marquis. If this continued, wouldn't people with the title of Marquis be everywhere?
However, what Supervisor Wang didn't know was that the reason why Mu Chen could be conferred the title of Marquis was not as simple as him destroying a tribe of Turkic barbarians.
This was probably due to the new species of sweet potatoes.
Moreover, there was no mention of sweet potatoes in Li Shiming's imperial edict.
It was enough to see how much Li Er valued this new species.
"Hahaha, thank you for coming all the way here, Supervisor Wang!”Cheng Yaojin laughed as he turned around and looked at Mu Chen." Nephew, His Majesty has now conferred you the title of Marquis of Border Guard. When you return to Chang 'an, you will also be a Marquis. Hahaha, congratulations!”
"Nephew, your future is just around the corner. Don't forget me, Old Bull, but it doesn't matter if you have Old Cheng or not!”Niu Jinda also said happily.
The two of them were happy. Of course, they had their reasons to be happy.
They had discovered Mu Chen, and he had been given such an important position by the Emperor before he had even entered Chang 'an. He had even been given the title of Marquis, which made the two old men feel proud.
However, Mu Chen was not like them.
To him, he came from the modern world and had such a heaven-defying system with him.
No matter where he went, he would have such achievements.
What was the point of being conferred a marquis? So what if he was under one person?
As long as he was willing, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes? However, he had not decided whether he should go to Chang 'an to be the Marquis. At the very least, he had to discuss it with his sister first.
No matter what, Mu Xi 'er was the only family he had left in this world.
" Uncle Cheng, Uncle Niu, thank you for your cultivation. However, I can't claim the position of Marquis yet. I don't know if I can go to Chang 'an. I'll give you an answer after discussing with my sister. What do you think?"”Mu Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda's expressions froze.
Supervisor Wang, who had just arrived, was immediately dumbfounded.
What was going on? Normally speaking, anyone who was conferred the title of Marquis would have to thank the Emperor profusely. They would have the urge to enter the Imperial Palace immediately to thank the Emperor in person.
However, not only was Mu Chen indifferent to this, but he also wanted to discuss it.
"This, this…" Supervisor Wang was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Hahaha, it's fine. Nephew Mu Chen, it's naturally a good thing that you have such intentions. How about this? You can go and discuss with Xi 'er now. If she agrees, you don't have to reject her, right?”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Of course, I'll go over now!”After Mu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards his shabby house.
Looking at his back, Niu Jinda's expression was a little solemn.
"Old Cheng, Mu Chen won't refuse to go to Chang 'an with us, right? If it really doesn't work out, I'll send someone over quietly today and kidnap him directly!”Niu Jinda said.
He truly liked Mu Chen, and in his opinion, Mu Chen's temper was very compatible with his.
Furthermore, he really treated him as a junior.
Now, this junior was unwilling to return to Chang 'an with him. He was more anxious than anyone else.
However, wasn't Cheng Yaojin the same?
However, he didn't look as impatient as Niu Jinda. Instead, he looked like he had a plan in mind.
"Old Bull, don't do such a stupid thing. If you really do this, aren't you afraid that Mu Chen won't acknowledge you as his uncle?”Cheng Yao's face darkened.
"If you don't want to admit it, then so be it. I can't just watch him stay here and ruin his great future for nothing!”Niu Jinda said angrily.
"Hahaha, Old Bull, can't you restrain yourself? Don't worry, Mu Chen will definitely go to Chang 'an with us!”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Hmm? Old Cheng, don't keep me in suspense. How do you know he'll definitely go? Was there something fishy going on?”Niu Jinda asked with his eyes wide open.
"Old Bull, we've known each other for many years. When have I, Old Cheng, ever made a mistake? Don't worry, I've long expected him to do this. I've already made arrangements in advance!”
"What? Old Cheng, you old fellow, you, you, you didn't give Xi 'er that girl to…"
Niu Jinda's expression changed drastically. He stared at Cheng Yaojin and raised his hand to his neck, gesturing for him to commit suicide.
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin was furious. Don't worry, everything is under my control!”
Niu Jinda
At this moment, he looked at these two old fellows talking in riddles.
Supervisor Wang was even more confused.
After a long time, he muttered,"General Niu, General Cheng, why can't I understand a single word you're saying?”
"Hehe, you don't have to understand. Just wait here!”Cheng Yaojin said.
