The battle against the Turks had finally come to an end. Cheng Chumo became the person who had gained the most in this battle. Not only did he gain a lot of credit, but he also gained a lot of blood power points. He planned to think about what kind of creature's genes he needed to extract after he returned to Chang 'an.
" System, check my blood energy points."
"Host has killed 12500 humans. The face that received blood, 2.5 million."
“250。This, this number was a little unpleasant to hear. Why didn't the system give him a reward for killing 10,000 people?”Cheng Chumo asked.
"Host, this kind of reward is only available for the first time. If you kill 100,000 people next time, there will be a reward.”
"He's forcing me to kill people. In Chang 'an, he spent all my savings for a few hundred points. On this day, he earned millions of points. This is blatantly turning me into a murderer.”Cheng Chumo thought speechlessly.
This was because the army had to clean up the battlefield and organize the spoils of war. They were basically livestock like cows, sheep, and horses, so their movements were relatively slow. It took a whole week to finish organizing it.
On this day, the army finally set out, and Cheng Chumo could finally return to Chang 'an. There was snow everywhere in this spiritual place, and Cheng Chumo's snow blindness was about to act up. Now, the entire army knew of Cheng Chumo's name. After all, he had single-handedly killed more than ten thousand Turkic guards. Therefore, wherever he went, people would greet him, making him extremely annoyed. In the end, he simply stayed in his tent and did not come out.
Because the flow of people was too long, the speed of the march became very slow. It took him two months to return to Chang 'an. The Spring Festival had already passed, but Cheng Chumo had spent his first year in the Tang Empire on a military journey. Cheng Chumo expressed his despair. He didn't want to do this.
Finally, the outline of Chang 'an City could be seen. In the past few months, Cheng Chumo hadn't even seen many women. The only two women he saw were still untouchable. He just wanted to go home and have a good sleep with Xiao Cui.
When they arrived at the gate of Chang 'an, they saw Li Shimin and the civil and military officials standing on both sides to welcome their triumphant return. Regarding the news of Cheng Chumo, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin had already sent it to Li Shimin in the military report. But this time, in order to let him show his face, the city gate still let him suppress Jie Li Khan and send him to Li Shimin.
"Jie Li Khagan, do you regret breaking the treaty and attacking our Great Tang?”Li Shi Min shouted.
"Since ancient times, the winner is king and the loser is the bandit. Now, I am also a prisoner under the rank. Your Majesty, don't tease me anymore.”After all, Jili Khagan was afraid of death, so he did not say a few tough words.
"Cheng Chumo, good. I heard that you were the one who made the greatest contribution in capturing Jie Li Khan and destroying Peckham and Liang Shidu. Zhen will reward you greatly." Li Shi Min laughed.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. I don't dare to ask for a reward.”Cheng Chumo replied.
"Very good, neither arrogant nor boastful. However, since the founding of the Great Tang, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and mistakes must be punished. You have made such a great contribution this time, you must be rewarded.”
"Your Majesty can make the decision."
"Since you like Princess Chang Le, why don't I give her to you?”Li Shi Min said.
"This…"
"Could it be that you are not satisfied with my reward, or do you think that my Chang Le is not worthy of you?”Li Shi Min pretended to be angry.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Chumo also felt hopeless. After all, this was the sin of the previous body, but now he had to pay back. Although Princess Chang Le was very beautiful, he still preferred to have three wives and four concubines. If he had a princess, it would be inconvenient. I hope Princess Chang Le has a better personality.
"Alright, go wash up and tidy up. Don't be late for tonight's celebration party.”
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Cheng Chumo went home alone because his father still had to deal with military affairs. When he returned to his house, he saw the servants of the Cui family waiting at the door. Xiao Cui was also looking at her affectionately with tears in her eyes.
"Mother, I miss you." Cheng Chumo rushed up and hugged Cui Shi.
"Everyone is watching you!”Cui Shi patted Cheng Chumo's back and said gently.
"I don't care. It's only right for me to carry my mother.”
"Alright, alright, let's go in. Look at Xiao Cui, don't you have anything to say?”Madam Cui rolled her eyes at Cheng Chumo.
Hearing this, Xiao Cui's face turned red and her head lowered to her chest. Cheng Chumo had no choice but to help Xiao Cui out of the predicament." I've grown up. I'm a man. Besides, Xiao Cui is my servant girl. I plan to give her a title."”
Cui Shi said," Xiao Cui is a good girl. Dalang, you have to treat her well in the future. Don't let her suffer."”
"Mother, I'm going to shower and change. I still have to attend the celebration banquet tonight.”Cheng Chumo took Xiao Cui's hand and walked towards his own courtyard. The servants had already prepared buckets and hot water for the bath.
"Come, Little Cui, help Young Master bathe." Cheng Chumo took Xiao Cui's hand and pulled her into the bathtub. The water splashed and the bath lasted for two hours. Cheng Chumo said as he wiped Xiao Cui dry and carried her to the bed. "Xiao Cui, have a good rest. I still have to attend the celebration party. I'll come back to see you tonight.”
"Yes, Young Master, you can go." Xiao Cui said in a low voice.
Cheng Chumo changed into a scholar's robe and asked the servants to help him tidy up his hair. Then, he found a piece of paper and wrote down the formula for the black gunpowder. However, he didn't write down the method of making gunpowder. After all, this optimal black gunpowder formula was more than enough for the Great Tang's productivity. He planned to present this recipe to Li Shi Min at the celebration party. In fact, even if he didn't offer it, Li Shi Min would have asked him for it. However, the result would be different. Taking the initiative was always better than being passive.
After he finished tidying everything up, Cheng Chumo rode his horse and leisurely walked towards the palace.
