"Sister Qianxue, you're making me sad. Am I also a good-for-nothing in your heart?”Zhangsun Qiu immediately put on a sad expression.
"I never thought you were trash, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful!”
"The impassioned 'The River Is Red' made my sister extremely excited.”
"Defeating Xin Wan in one move, even General Qin Qiong and General Yuchi couldn't do it.”
"It's not an exaggeration to say that you're skilled in both literature and martial arts!”
Chai Qianxue praised him generously.
"It's nothing. I just learned it casually. I didn't expect it to be so powerful!”
Zhangsun Qiu's surprised expression made Chai Qianxue speechless.
Casually learning?
Wasn't this a little too much of a blow?
Whether it was the blood-boiling Red River or the lightning-fast spear technique.
Many people would never be able to reach such heights in their entire lives, but this kid was actually just casually learning?
However...
Thinking back to the past, this guy really seemed to be just casually learning.
In the past, when he was studying at the directorate, Zhangsun Qiu was either slacking off or on the road. Only when he was caught by the Emperor and the others would he be forced to learn for a while.
Looking at Zhangsun Qiu's handsome side profile, there was an inexplicable charm.
Could it be that there were really geniuses in this world?
He had reached a height that others would never be able to reach in their entire lives just by casually learning?
Thinking back to his shocking performance today, his heart could not help but ripple.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Qianxue, what's wrong?" Zhangsun Qiu called out a few times as he looked at the dazed Chai Qianxue.
"No... Nothing?" Chai Qianxue blushed.
Her heart had actually been stirred by Zhangsun Qiu just now.
Ding! The peerless beauty Chai Qianxue has developed a favorable impression of the host. You are rewarded with 100 salted fish points.
Zhangsun Qiu couldn't help but smile when he heard the system notification.
He did not expect that this young lady who had grown up with him would actually have a good impression of him.
"Sister Qianxue, you're looking at me like that. Could it be..."
"Do you like me?"
Zhangsun Qiu suddenly came up to Chai Qianxue and said.
The distance between the two of them was so close that they could even hear each other's breathing.
Swoosh!
At such a close distance and with her thoughts exposed, Chai Qianxue's snow-white face instantly turned red.
"Go! Who likes you!"
"You even dare to tease your sister. You're really asking for a beating!”
Chai Qianxue stretched out her fist and was about to hit him.
Zhangsun Qiu immediately stood up and ran like a nimble rabbit.
The two of them chased after each other, adding a touch of joy to the solemn atmosphere of the military camp.
......
In the Imperial Palace.
The news of Zhangsun Qiu and Li Xinwan's duel had also reached the ears of Tang Emperor Li Shimin.
For the sake of his precious daughter's future happiness, Li Shiming was worried about his future son-in-law.
Every day, he would get someone to report on Zhangsun Qiu's performance in the army.
"The humiliation of the marriage alliance has yet to be avenged!"
"When will the hatred of officials be extinguished!"
"Drive the long carriage and trample the Helan Mountain!”
"Ambition is hungry for Hu meat, laughing and drinking Turkic blood!”
"From the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the heavens!”
Li Eryi read out the poem that Zhangsun Qiu had written in the military camp, and a gratified light flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to have such outstanding literary talent and martial arts! I underestimated you!"
"It seems that sending you to the military camp this time was the right decision. Otherwise, I really don't know how long you'll have to hide your true strength.”
"This way, zhen can also rightfully confer you an official position.”
Zhangsun Qiu didn't know that because of his match with Li Xinwan, Li Er had the idea of giving him an official position.
However...
Even if he knew, he wouldn't be happy at all. Instead, he would find it very troublesome.
Otherwise, with his current abilities, any one of them would be enough to shock the entire Great Tang!
The next day.
Zhangsun Qiu was still sleeping in the tent.
Li Shi Min's personal bodyguard arrived at the military camp with the imperial edict.
Zhangsun Qiu rubbed his sleepy eyes and reluctantly stood up to receive the decree.
His attitude made everyone speechless.
F * ck!
This was the first time he was unhappy to see someone being promoted.
"In accordance with the will of the heavens, the Emperor has issued an edict saying: Zhangsun Qiu is an outstanding scholar, extraordinary martial artist, intelligent, and a hero of our Great Tang. I hereby grant you the title of Zhaowu Colonel.”
"Tsk! Just a lieutenant, Imperial Uncle is too stingy!”Zhangsun Qiu muttered softly.
The surrounding people's mouths twitched when they heard this.
The first official title was a sixth-grade official position with real power.
It was simply too awesome!
It would take an ordinary soldier many years to reach this level!？
You actually think it's too low?
Don't tell me that you're going to be conferred the title of Great General of the Country at the beginning of the game?
Do you have the ability?
Little did he know…
He really did!
"Commandant Zhangsun, receive the edict! I'm still waiting to report back!" Steward Wang said respectfully.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live our emperor!" Zhangsun Qiu gave a perfunctory bow and threw the imperial edict aside.
This action made Steward Wang's mouth twitch.
Even if he didn't care, he didn't have to make it so obvious, right?
No matter what, it was an imperial edict.
At least give him some face!
However, he did not dare to say anything.
As Li Er's personal manager, he knew very well how much the person in front of him was favored.
He was simply the empress's precious baby, and he was also the eldest princess 'future husband.
Such a person was destined to be extraordinary in the future. He was not someone that he, the head of the internal affairs, could afford to offend.
"Congratulations, Little Brother Qiu!"
"You've become a Rank-6 Zhaowu Commandant in a single leap. It seems that Imperial Uncle's love for you is really extraordinary!”
Chai Qianxue smiled and congratulated him.
"Tsk! What was there to congratulate about being a lieutenant? Uncle was too stingy. No matter what, he should be a general.”Zhangsun Qiu pursed his lips, his face full of indifference.
No matter what, I'm still the Great General who protects the country!
A mere lieutenant was too shabby!
"Don't be unsatisfied. When I joined the army, I was only a Rank-7 martial cavalry captain!”Chai Qianxue rolled her eyes at him.
The first time he was promoted, he was a Rank-6 official.
Still not satisfied?
Isn't it infuriating?
