General Mansion, Youzhou City.
Li Jing had just received the news of the Turkic retreat and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Through the descriptions of Li Jing, Li Tai and many other soldiers, Cheng Yaojin knew that Youzhou City was relieved of its siege because of a young hero who rushed out of Youzhou City with a long halberd.
Li Jing was determined to find this young hero no matter what. He had already rushed 800 miles away to deliver good news to the emperor.
"Although the Turkic army has retreated, it is not our victory, but that youth's victory. If our Great Tang can find that young hero, defending the borders against the Outsiders will naturally be a cinch.”
Speaking of Yang Lin, Li Jing's eyes lit up.
Li Jing was a soldier and had countless military achievements. However, he was old and wanted to find a successor to take off the burden on his shoulders so that he could enjoy his old age.
In Chang 'an, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and the other old generals, although their children were outstanding, they were too young and immature. Moreover, they had the bad habits of the rich playboys in the capital, so they could not take on great responsibilities.
Li Jing naturally looked down on them.
Now, when the Tang army was in danger, Yang Lin came out of nowhere and dominated thousands of troops. Li Jing was so happy that he was overjoyed. No matter what, he had to find Yang Lin and persuade him to join the army.
"Duke Wei is right. With such a fierce general in our Great Tang, what is there to fear about the Outsiders?”
Li Tai was also very happy. This time, he was so shocked that he almost thought that his sister was going to die. He also thought that the Turkic army would break through Youzhou City and march straight to Chang 'an. Who knew that Yang Lin would descend from the sky and save them!
This Yang Lin was a lucky star. Without him, she might not have been able to find her sister.
Li Tai thought to himself. He was full of curiosity about Yang Lin and his intention to recruit him.
Cheng Yaojin also laughed out loud." Apothecary, don't say anymore. You're making me want to dig three feet into the ground to find that little hero and get drunk with him for three days and three nights!”
"Hahahaha! Zhijie said it well!"
Li Jing laughed.
Li Lizhi's face turned cold when she saw her uncles and her brother praising Yang Lin.
The others were happy.
However, her heart was filled with despair.
Everyone knew that Yang Lin had saved sixty thousand Tang soldiers and Youzhou City.
What she didn't know was that Yang Lin, that dog thief, had tarnished her body as the princess of a country!
Although Li Lizhi wanted to immediately reveal her grievances and humiliation, she couldn't do it.
Because…
A princess of a country being defiled by a person who looked like a beggar, how shameful was this?
Once this scandal was spread, the entire Great Tang and even other foreign countries would regard her as a laughing stock. Even the royal family of the Li Tang would be criticized and ridiculed!
"Sister, didn't you say-"
Li Tai was in high spirits, and he was also chatting with Li Jing and the others. Thinking that his sister, Li Lizhi, knew Yang Lin, he immediately turned around and asked.
However, she met Li Lizhi's cold gaze.
Li Tai was stunned. He shut his mouth resentfully and downed the wine in the bronze wine cup.
However, he was very puzzled.
This time, his sister was very different from before. What exactly happened?
Above the main hall, Li Jing saw that everyone was almost done drinking and said,"" This time, the Princess almost fell into the hands of the enemy. It was my negligence, but it also shows that the border is dangerous. It is not convenient for the King of Wei and the Princess to stay here for long. After drinking this cup of wine, I will send someone to escort the two of you back to Chang 'an safely.”
Li Jing turned to Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin said," Apothecary, I came here for the princess. Since the princess is safe and sound, I will naturally go back to Chang 'an with her. But…"
"But I think that with Youzhou's current military strength, it will be very difficult to stop the Turks from invading again." Cheng Yaojin frowned.”
Li Jing nodded." Zhijie, I understand your concerns. I've already written a letter to His Majesty, explaining the pros and cons of defending Youzhou. I believe His Majesty will send reinforcements here."”
Cheng Yaojin smiled." That's good. In that case, I'll go back to Chang 'an with the Princess and the King of Wei first. I'll have to trouble you to guard Youzhou City."”
After greeting them and preparing their luggage, Cheng Yaojin brought Li Tai and Li Lizhi to Chang 'an under the escort of a 1,000-man team.
Creak ~
On the vast land, a long line of carriages drove quietly.
In an extremely luxurious carriage in the middle, Li Lizhi opened the curtain and looked back at Youzhou City while gritting her teeth.
That place was the place of humiliation for her entire life!
There was also a person she hated to the core.
She was not really leaving. When she returned to Chang 'an, it would be time for her to plot revenge.
However, after this disaster, Li Lizhi was afraid. She found that Chang 'an was the safest place. Only in Chang' an, under the protection of the emperor, could she be a princess respected by thousands of people and held in the palm of their hands.
It was not the case outside.
At least, the border was not!
