Mu Chen's name was well-known in Chang 'an.
A single person leading eighteen Yan Cavalry to annihilate an entire Turkic tribe and kill more than ten thousand enemies was not something an ordinary person could do.
Not only the people of Chang 'an, but even the Tibetans knew Mu Chen's name.
They had never expected that the person standing in front of them was actually this person.
"So this is the Border Guardian Marquis? As expected, you live up to your reputation!"
"The Border Guard Marquis is so young, but he has such ability. It truly is the Great Tang's fortune!”
"Well done. These Tibetans have long been an eyesore. They are all bullies and misbehaving. It's time to teach them a lesson!”
In an instant, everyone in the restaurant started discussing.
When the Tibetans heard that the person in front of them was the sensational Border Guard Marquis, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.
Just then, a few people walked in from outside.
They were all dressed in constable clothes. As soon as they walked in, they looked around.
"What happened? How dare they gather people to fight in Chang 'an? Take them all down!" The leader shouted.
"Let's see who dares. Lord Marquis is here, why aren't you paying your respects?”Ma Zhong said coldly from downstairs.
"Lord Marquis? Which duke?"
"This is my family's border guarding marquis."
As they spoke, the constables quickly looked up. When they saw Mu Chen on the second floor, their expressions changed drastically.
Especially the leader, his heart thumped.
He quickly walked upstairs and bowed deeply to Mu Chen."Greetings, Border Guard Marquis!"
Mu Chen nodded his head." You came at the right time. These Tibetans caused trouble in the restaurant and have been taught a lesson by me. Bring them back and interrogate them properly. See if they have committed any other crimes!"”
"This humble servant obeys!"
Several constables went upstairs and took the Tibetans out of the restaurant.
The moment they left the restaurant, a round of applause suddenly broke out.
"Lord Marquis, well done!"
"How satisfying, how satisfying today is!”
"In the future, with Lord Marquis around, we don't need to fear anyone, nor do we need to be bullied!”
As a result, Mu Chen's image and status in the hearts of the people of Chang 'an became even more serious.
At the same time, in Taiji Palace.
Li Er, Cheng Sanfu, Duke Du, and Wei Wei were discussing something.
"The Border Guard Marquis has just sent 3,000 sweet potato seedlings to the palace. Now that a natural disaster is imminent, this is a matter of great importance. State Duke Liang, State Duke Cai, I will leave the trial planting of these 3,000 sweet potato seedlings to the two of you!”Li Er said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Du and Xuan Ling bowed.
Planting sweet potatoes was the most important thing at the moment.
This concerned the foundation of the Great Tang and the well-being of its people. If they could be successfully planted, sweet potatoes would be able to grow on a large scale, and at that time, every household would be able to grow sweet potatoes.
Moreover, with the sweet potatoes, they would not have to worry about droughts in the future. As long as they had sufficient troops and food, they could go out again to attack the Turkic barbarians in the Desolate North Desert.
The Turks had always been a thorn in Li Er's side. If he could get rid of them as soon as possible, he would be able to get rid of one of his worries.
"Did the Turks make any unusual movements today?”Li Er asked.
"Your Majesty, ever since the Border Guard Marquis destroyed a Turkic tribe, they've all gone into hiding. In recent months, there has been no news of the Turks disturbing the border!”Cheng Sanfu said.
"Oh? It seemed that the Border Guard Marquis's power had already affected the entire Turkic barbarian region!”
"Who says so? If it were up to me, the Border Guardian Marquis has made the greatest contribution this time. Now that he has discovered a new species of sweet potatoes for our Great Tang, if he succeeds in planting it, it will be another great contribution!”Cheng Sanfu laughed.
To him, the more meritorious Mu Chen was, the happier he would be.
After all, he was the one who had discovered Mu Chen and brought him back from the Great Desert of the Desolate North.
"Indeed, the Border Guard Marquis's contribution is indispensable!”Old Master Du nodded.
"Oh, right, I heard that Tubo sent people to Chang 'an again? May I know why?" Li Er said.
"Your Majesty, the Tibetans have indeed sent people to the Tang Empire to offer a batch of treasures. However, the diplomatic mission has just set off and has not yet arrived in Chang 'an. Only a small force has arrived in the front.”Xuan Ling said.
"Oh? These Tibetans are becoming more and more arrogant as their power grows. Your Majesty, in Old Cheng's opinion, we should take this opportunity to teach these Tibetans a lesson and let them know who is the master. Otherwise, if this continues, they will become the second Turkic barbarian!”Cheng Sanfu said angrily.
"Old Cheng, this isn't as simple as teaching them a lesson. Now that the Great Tang is plagued with internal and external troubles, and the Turks are eyeing us covetously, it's not the time to fall out with the Tibetans. As long as they don't go too far, we should just endure it!”Wei Wei said.
"Hmph, Old Wei, when did you become so timid? A mere Tibetan has scared you to this extent?”Cheng Sanfu said.
"Scared? What can they scare me with? What I mean is that now is not the time to fall out with the Tibetans. We have to put the overall situation first!”
"What big picture? These Tibetans, I, Old Cheng, have long disliked them. This time, they have sent an envoy over. Please don't offend me. Otherwise, I will let them know what the devil king of chaos was back then."
Cheng Sanfu's reckless personality was back.
Seeing this, Li Er, Wei Wei, and Duke Du all shook their heads with bitter smiles.
However, at this moment.
A young eunuch quietly walked to the door and said,""Your Majesty, the governor of the capital city requests an audience outside the palace!”
"Oh? What was he doing here? Announce!" Li Eryi was stunned.
"Yes! The governor of the capital is remonstrating!"
After shouting, a minister came in hurriedly.
When he entered Taiji Palace, he bowed his head.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Duke Lu, Duke Liang, and Duke Cai."
"No need to be polite. Why did the Qing family enter the palace this time?”Li Er said.
" Replying to Your Majesty, this, this…" The governor was at a loss for words and actually started to stutter.
"What do you mean by this and that? If you have something to say, say it quickly!”Cheng Sanfu said.
"Just now, Mu Chen, the border guard, beat up a few Tibetans in Lotus Fragrance Brothel!”
