When Cheng Chumo led the two of them to see Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin felt that his eldest son was really lucky. He had made another great contribution. Not only did he find Empress Xiao and the daughter of Khan Jie Li, but he also found the long-lost Imperial Jade Seal. If it wasn't for the fact that this son was going to inherit his title in the future. With these few contributions, he could be made a Marquis. What a pity. However, if he didn't have a title, he would definitely be promoted. It was almost enough to make him a fourth-grade senior guard of Tiger Might.
"Father, I asked them just now. They have been hiding in the secret room since the beginning of the war, so they don't know where Jie Li Khagan went.”
"Dalang, where do you think Jie Li went? I've already turned the entire Dingxiang City upside down to look for him, but I still haven't found him.”Cheng Yaojin said.
"I don't know! However, if he wanted to escape from the city, he could only go to the south gate. Because the other three gates have already been sealed by us. He might first head south for a while, then take a detour to the Yin Mountains. After all, that was his base camp, the Khan's Tent. We can wait for him in the north on the road to the Yin Mountains.”Cheng Chumo thought for a while and said.
"That's right, this is the most likely. I'll immediately send someone to the north to intercept him.”Cheng Yaojin whispered.
"Father, please settle these two down first. The two of them could not afford to make any mistakes. This was the second greatest contribution in this battle. If we capture Jie Li Khan, then even if Li Jing and Li Shiji exterminate the entire Turkic army, their contributions won't be as great as ours.”Cheng Chumo reminded Cheng Yaojin.
"Send someone to settle them in an independent room and send a large number of soldiers to guard it.”Cheng Yaojin ordered his men.
After the two women left. Cheng Yaojin said to Cheng Chumo," Don't you know that you're better than your master? We've already made a great contribution by destroying Liang Shidu and finding the Imperial Jade Seal. As for Jie Li Khan, we might as well drive him to Yin Mountain and let Li Jing capture him. After all, he was the commander-in-chief this time. Sometimes, it was better to be a little muddle-headed.”
"Thank you for your teachings, Father."
"Actually, you still don't know why His Majesty sent you to the camp this time, right?”Cheng Yaojin continued.
"Please give me some pointers, Father." Cheng Chumo also humbly asked for advice.
"In fact, His Majesty sent the army this time to let you pass the gilding. After all, many people know about you and Princess Chang Le. Princess Chang Le can only marry you. But you didn't do anything, so he couldn't possibly bestow a marriage to you. That's why I sent you to the northern expedition. Even if you don't have any credit this time, I'll arrange for some credit on your head. This way, when we go back, we can officially marry Princess Chang Le to you.”
"I know, so that's how it is.”Cheng Chumo muttered. Li Shi Min was truly a schemer.
"Dalang, although you are full of schemes, you are not experienced enough in human relations. In the future, he had to be more experienced in dealing with people. Otherwise, he would suffer a great loss in the imperial court.”Cheng Yaojin warned.
"Don't look at how generous I usually look. However, in the imperial court, he was on good terms with almost everyone. Unlike Yuchi Gong who has a proud and arrogant appearance, I dare to bet that when he loses power in the future, there will definitely be people who will hit him when he is down. "So Dalang, you still have a lot to learn in the future," Cheng Yaojin said.
"Father is indeed wise. I will remember it.”Cheng Chumo quickly said.
"Actually, you did well just now. You didn't accept the Heirloom Seal. Instead, she asked Empress Xiao to bring the Imperial Jade Seal into Chang 'an to present it to His Majesty. This way, although the credit would be smaller. However, he would gain the favor of the Minister of Personnel, Lord Xiao. After all, Empress Xiao's gift of the Imperial Jade Seal would definitely save her life. Empress Xiao was Lord Xiao's biological sister.”
"Actually, I didn't think too much about it just now. He just felt that the heirloom seal was a little hot, so he didn't want to accept it. However, he did not expect that there would be so many unintentional actions. It seemed that he had unintentionally planted a willow tree to make a shade.”Cheng Chumo scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"An unintentional willow tree grows into a tree. Good sentence, Dalang. When did your literary talent become so good? You don't usually read books."
"Hehe, self-taught, self-taught.”Cheng Chumo laughed. "Actually, I read books too. It's just that when I read, Father, you don't know.”
"Really?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Cheng Chumo suspiciously. "It's always good to read more books, but don't become like those pedantic scholars. They were all talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality all day long. If these were useful, why would they still need the armed forces? This is the reason why I didn't send you to the directorate. I'm afraid they'll teach you silly!”
