After settling Ma Zhong's matter, Cheng Sanfu, Niu Jinda, and Mu Chen led more than 2,000 Tang soldiers toward Chang 'an.
Three days later, in Chang 'an.
He heard that Mu Chen, the hero of the border town, was coming to Chang 'an.
All the citizens in the city were in an uproar.
It had to be known that in the past few years, both the imperial court and the ordinary people had been extremely depressed.
The Great Tang had just been established and was plagued with internal and external problems. There were always small countries harassing the border.
Not only did it make people anxious, but it also made them constantly fight.
War was not just a matter for the court. Once they sent troops out, it was inevitable that they would waste money and manpower.
In the past few years, the people of the Great Tang had been living in an abyss of suffering.
They all hoped that the border would calm down and live a few years of peace.
Yet at this moment, a valiant general had appeared, leading eighteen Yan cavalry and easily exterminating a Turkic tribe.
In such a depressing environment, it was definitely a powerful pill that could inspire people.
Li Er was also an emperor who liked to play tricks. When he first received this news, he immediately sent people out to spread the news throughout the city.
In the past month, Chang 'an City had been bustling with people and was gradually returning to its former hustle and bustle.
"Your Majesty? Was this really necessary? Cheng Zhijie wasn't an outsider, so why did His Majesty need to mobilize so many people and personally go out of the city to respond?”
There was a small hill ten miles away from Chang 'an City.
Here, Li Er was waiting with the civil and military officials.
In fact, many people couldn't understand. Although everyone knew that Li Erxi loved talent, and the Great Tang was in dire need of people, they didn't know that they had to go ten miles out of the city.
Moreover, Cheng Sanfu had only destroyed a Turkic tribe, so how could he have done so much?
At most, they would send high ranking officials like Duke Du, Xuan Ling, and Duke Qin out of the city to welcome them. This would be considered giving Cheng Sanfu and the others a lot of face.
However, they didn't know that what caught Li Er's eye wasn't as simple as a big victory.
It was Mu Chen, who Cheng Sanfu had brought back, and the sweet potato in Mu Chen's hand.
In Cheng Sanfu's memorial, the sweet potato was described as something that could only be found in the sky and was almost a legend.
However, Cheng Sanfu was not the kind of person who would speak without thinking.
In his bragging, he would still interweave a lot of benefits about sweet potatoes.
For example, sweet potatoes were produced in large quantities and were very convenient to eat. They were not particularly picky about the environment and climate.
If an ordinary adult ate three sweet potatoes for a meal, they would definitely be full.
Of course, those who ate more would have to be counted separately.
An underage child would only need to eat one sweet potato to be full.
If all of this was true, then this sweet potato would definitely be of utmost importance to the future Great Tang. It might even be able to resolve the famine that had been caused by the chaos of war.
However, Li Er had treated this matter as a confidential document. Other than Xuanling, Duke Du, Qin Shubao, Wei Wei, and a few other trusted officials, he had not told anyone else about it.
Hence, the current situation had occurred.
"There's no need for you to say anything else. I know what I'm doing. There's no need to persuade me!”Li Er said.
Hearing this, the ministers who had wanted to persuade him earlier lowered their heads and took a few steps back.
They could tell that His Majesty was a little angry.
If he continued to persuade her, he might bring trouble to himself.
Accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. No one wanted to offend the emperor.
For a moment, all the civil and military officials stood by Li Er's left and right sides, looking into the distance.
Before long, a black flag with golden edges and two baring dragons with the word " Tang " clearly engraved on it flew toward Chang 'an Fortress.
Seeing this, Li Er was extremely excited.
"Your Majesty, as expected, this team is probably Cheng Zhijie and Niu Jinda!”Old Master Du said with a smile.
"That's right, we've finally waited for them to return!”Xuan Ling smiled as he stroked his beard.
The rest of the officials were also whispering to each other.
When the Tang Dynasty army got a little closer…
From afar, they could see a few people leading the group.
The first was Cheng Sanfu, whom they were extremely familiar with. He was currently in high spirits, sitting on his horse with his nose almost reaching the sky.
It was no wonder that the Turks had been harassing the border for the past three years.
Li Er had also sent out several batches of Tang soldiers to quell the war, but they all returned empty-handed and were almost wiped out in the desert.
It had once become Li Er's biggest worry.
Now that Cheng Sanfu had uprooted a Turkic tribe, he was naturally extremely impressive.
Beside Cheng Sanfu was Niu Jinda.
This fellow had his mouth wide open from afar, laughing foolishly non-stop. He was just short of jumping off his horse and pouncing directly in front of Li Er.
Looking to the side, it was a young general in silver armor and armor. He was sitting on a dark horse, holding a golden halberd in his hand. He wore a golden mask, looking awe-inspiring and imposing.
As he was too far away, he could not see the style of the mask clearly.
However, from this, it could be deduced that this person was definitely the one Cheng Sanfu had strongly recommended, the one who had led the eighteen Yan Cavalry and caused the Turkic barbarians to tremble in fear, the Border Guard Marquis Mu Chen.
"He is truly a valiant major general. From afar, he gives off an indescribable deterrence!”Wei Wei said with a frown.
"Hahaha, congratulations, Your Majesty. It seems that our Great Tang has accepted another genius!”Old Master Du laughed.
The happiest person at this moment was probably Li Er himself.
Ever since he saw Cheng Sanfu and the others, a faint smile had been hanging on his face.
Now that he heard Old Master Du and the others say this, he was even more delighted.
"This is truly the fortune of the Great Tang, the fortune of His Majesty!”
The rest of the officials were also sucking up to Li Er.
However, among these people, there was one person who was extremely unhappy. It was Zhang Shigui, who had almost been beaten up by Yuchi Gong in the main hall.
He was a typical person who was jealous of talent and was also a complete villain.
After seeing Mu Chen's majestic appearance, his heart couldn't help but thump.
Even he had no choice but to admit that this kid was truly not an ordinary person.
It was a pity that Cheng Sanfu was so lucky to find a talent in the desert.
Just as Zhang Shigui was filled with jealousy, he saw a hornet fly past him.
Just as it was about to land on Zhang Shigui's face…
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot into his official hat without any warning. At the tip of the arrow was the wasp from before.
"Ah?"
Zhang Shigui broke out in a cold sweat!
