The next day, in the Taiji Palace of Chang 'an City of the Tang Empire.
In the court, there were many officials.
The civil and military officials were all smiling with joy. They had thought that the Great Tang was in a perilous situation, but they had never imagined that it would be able to emerge victorious against the Turkic army.
Most of them had been the founding fathers of the Great Tang, and they had been conferred titles of nobility. If the Great Tang was truly destroyed by the Turkic Jie Li Khagan and his two hundred thousand soldiers, they would also suffer.
On the contrary, now that the Great Tang had won, they would share in the glory, and they would naturally be overjoyed.
Therefore, all the officials in the court looked at Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon throne, with anticipation.
Li Er's brows were tightly furrowed as he stared at the head of the Turkic Jie Khan in Taiji Palace. The officials opened their mouths but did not ask for a reward.
After all, after Li Ersheng returned, they all knew what had happened on the battlefield.
Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun
A youth in blood-red clothes wielding a coiling dragon halberd
All of this sounded like a dream to them, but they had to admit that it was the truth.
They all knew that this blood-red-clothed youth had made great contributions in this battle.
They also knew why Li Er hadn't rewarded him yet. It was because he was looking for traces of the blood-red-clothed youth.
Thus, the court immediately fell silent. Most of the people still peeked at the head of the Turkic Jie Khan on the ground, feeling that this battle was not really won.
"Have you found the blood-red-clothed general who led the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun to save the Tang Empire from death and beheaded the Turkic Jie Li Khan?”
At this moment, Li Er suddenly broke the silence in the court.
"Your Majesty, I and the soldiers guarding the city saw clearly that this man brought the 18 riders of Yanyun out of Chang 'an with a murderous aura and returned to Chang' an with a bloody aura.”
" But now, I've sent out patrol officers from all the streets of Chang 'an to look for them, but there's no trace of them."
Qin Qiong shook his head and sighed helplessly.
When Li Er returned to Chang 'an from the bank of Wei River, he couldn't stop smiling when he saw the head of Jie Li Khan in his hand. He repeatedly praised the blood-red-clothed general and the eighteen cavalrymen of Yanyun for their extraordinary achievements.
As Qin Qiong was the witness of Cao Jing and Yan Yun's 18 riders leaving Chang 'an and returning to Chang' an, Li Er completely entrusted the task of finding Cao Jing and Chang 'an to him.
But it was very obvious that Qin Qiong gained nothing.
It was as if Cao Jing and the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun had disappeared into thin air.
"Wei Gongxun, do you have any news?"
At this moment, Li Er suddenly shouted into the Taiji Palace. All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked when they heard the name 'Wei Gongxin', and their faces were filled with fear.
Hearing Li Er's question, a light voice came from behind the dragon throne,""Your Majesty, the bad guys searched the entire Chang 'an City but found nothing.”
Li Er nodded silently and sighed.""It's a pity that I couldn't find such an invincible expert who could take the enemy's head from a hundred thousand soldiers."
"If this person is here, my Great Tang will have no worries!”
"Your Majesty, that good-for-nothing brat of mine, Old Cheng, is the patrolling commandant of Yongan Lane in the West City. He usually hears the most discussions of the people of the Great Tang."
Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands and bowed to Li Ertong. He ignored Li Ertong's disagreement and continued," My good-for-nothing boy, Cheng Chumo, said that in Chang 'an, the people of the Tang Empire have been talking about the young man in bloody clothes as if he was a god. They all say that the young man in bloody clothes is a heavenly general who came down from heaven to help the Tang Empire tide over the crisis.”
"Hmm? Is that true?"
Li Er revealed a smile on his face. This rumor could be said to be very beneficial to him.
Under the deliberate actions of someone with ill intentions, he, Li Er, killed his brother and forced his father to become the Emperor of the Great Tang.
When the Turkic Jie Li Khan led his army to threaten Chang 'an City, this statement was even more terrifying, making him very passive.
And now, not only had the Great Tang won, but it was also rumored that this child was a heavenly general who had descended to help him. Didn't this mean that he had obtained the approval of the heavens?
This was the most powerful support for him to consolidate his throne.
How could he not be happy?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh."Interesting, interesting. Could it be that this young general is really a heavenly general? I shall bestow upon you the name of the Blood-robed Heavenly General!”
Li Er waved his hand in joy and said,"Pass on my decree. The Great Tang has won the war against the Turks, killed the Turkic Jieli Khan, and led the eighteen cavalry of Yan Yun to sweep across the battlefield. This is a great achievement, and I will reward him!”
He suddenly stood up from the dragon throne and swept his gaze across the civil and military officials present. He slowly said,
"The Blood-robed Heavenly General hasn't received his reward yet, so how would others dare to come and receive it?”
He looked at Chang 'an Fortress and added firmly,""Pass on my decree. As long as the people of Chang 'an provide the whereabouts of the Blood-robed Heavenly General, they will receive a thousand gold!”
I beg Huahua, I beg for full marks, I beg for all the support of the readers!
