Returning to Chang 'an
In the tent, a low groan accompanied by red flowers gently stirred up a strange aura.
Princess Tina hugged Li Jiang, the man of her life. She could not help but tear up.
He was the one who hated her, and he was the one who loved her.
But in the end, everything was settled.
After venting, Li Jiang hugged Princess Tina's delicate body and silently opened the system in his mind.
In this battle, he had killed no less than tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers. Although he didn't gain much EXP individually, he had gained three levels.
Now that he had three more chances to draw the lottery, Li Jiang was looking forward to it.
" System, proceed with the lottery draw!"
"Ding…Lottery in progress, please wait a moment…"
"Congratulations to the host for winning the lottery. You have obtained lightness skill, Traceless Treading on Snow.”
"Ding…Lottery in progress, please wait a moment…"
"Congratulations to the host for winning the lottery. You have obtained a martial art, Octane Blast.”
"Ding…Lottery in progress, please wait a moment…"
"Congratulations to the host for winning the lottery. You have obtained a divine-tier item, a locator talisman.”
Li Jiang couldn't help but be stunned. He could understand the Light-body Technique, Traceless Snow Treading, and the Octane Blast, but what was this locator talisman?
"Locating Talisman. The host can specify a location to locate. After using the locating talisman, the host can instantly return to the location.”
Li Jiang couldn't help but understand. This thing was indeed a god-tier item. Its effects were simply too powerful.
However, Li Jiang did not need this thing for the time being, so he put it away.
……
Several days later.
Li Jiang rode on the Aquatic Golden-Eyed Beast and looked at Chang 'an Fortress from afar.
The war on the steppe had come to an end. Hou Junji had led the army, and the remaining Turkic forces were no longer strong.
Li Jiang led Cheng Yaojin and the others back to Chang 'an.
Hundreds of thousands of Tang cavalry were like a long dragon, looking at Chang 'an City in front of them.
In fact, the news of the war against the Turks had already reached Chang 'an.
However, the credit was too great. Even if Li Shiming had confidence in Li Jiang, he was still shocked by the news.
He even began to suspect that Cheng Yaojin had been bribed by Li Jiang to lie about his military achievements.
This was because the battle merits were too shocking!
He had single-handedly defeated hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers and forced the Turks to surrender to the Great Tang!
Even though Li Shiming's lifelong ambition was to conquer the four seas, his first thought upon hearing this news was still a lie!
He really could not imagine, nor could he believe that a single person's strength could lead a war!
But Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji's reports were the same, so even if Li Shimin didn't believe them, he couldn't immediately refute them.
Only when the army returned to Chang 'an would they know whether it was true or not.
The nobles and ministers in the court also scoffed at this matter.
This Nanyang King was crazy about credit.
Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji had no respect for their elders, and even if they wanted to curry favor with the Imperial Family, they should have chosen a good partner, right?
The Crown Prince was the heir to the throne of the Great Tang, but they had never fawned over him like this.
How could this once idiotic prince be worthy of Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji's flattery?
As for the victory of this war, they had already thrown it to the back of their minds.
They all agreed that this was definitely fake!
Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji must have been trying to curry favor with the King of Nanyang by giving him credit!
Foolish!
As the army gradually returned to Chang 'an, such voices kept coming from the court. Everyone was waiting for Li Shiming's decision.
But no matter who it was, there was no doubt that the Great Tang had won.
Moreover, it was a great victory. With just one sentence, he had pacified the grassland. This achievement was enough for Li Shiming to hold his head high in front of his ancestors.
Therefore, despite the reluctance of the ministers, they still followed Li Shimin out of Chang 'an to welcome the triumphant return of the army.
Li Jiang rode on the Aquatic Golden-Eyed Beast and looked at Li Shimin who had come to welcome him.
Li Jiang had only found a random excuse to fool the Aquamarine Golden-Eyed Beast, and no one dared to question its origin.
After all, there were still many mutated beasts in this world.
Li Jiang got off his mount and walked to Li Shimin, waving his hand.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind him immediately put down their weapons.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!"
Li Shi Min looked at Li Jiang with a complicated expression and reached out to help Li Jiang up."My son, you have worked hard."
He only said that he had worked hard, but he didn't mention anything about the merits of this battle.
Obviously, Li Shiming didn't want to mention this at this moment, lest Li Jiang was embarrassed.
Otherwise, the ministers in the court would definitely not agree.
As the emperor, he couldn't do whatever he wanted. If Li Shimin dared to let himself go and decide everything by himself, the old man surnamed Wei would be the first to disagree.
Therefore, Li Shiming wanted to make a big deal out of this matter. He wanted to reward his son however he wanted after the incident. It was better not to let Old Man Wei cause trouble for him at this time.
However, Cheng Yaojin, who was behind Li Jiang, did not agree.
"Your Majesty, this battle was all thanks to the power of the King of Nanyang. Your Majesty should reward him heavily!”
The moment he said that, the atmosphere changed.
All the officials in the court looked at Cheng Yaojin with disdain.
Did this old man really want to suck up to the Nanyang King?
