Li Jing's voice fell.
Soon after.
He led Li Yuanxi into the room.
Li Jing took out a letter from the bottom of a box that contained valuables.
He handed it over to Li Yuanxi.
Li Yuanxi opened the letter and read it quickly.
Her expression became more and more shocked as she read deeper.
In the end.
When he saw the hidden path where he had laid an ambush.
It was clearly marked on the map attached to the letter…
Li Yuanxi was completely shocked.
He was deeply shocked!
Previously, she thought that all these strategies and plans were made by her father himself.
However, he never thought that…
There was actually an expert guiding him from behind.
Li Yuanxi widened her eyes in shock.
It took a long time for them to calm down.
"Who is this Chu Qiu?”
"Why did he help Father?"
Li Jing let out a long sigh and said,
"By telling you this now, I have already violated the meaning of this expert Chu Qiu's letter. I can't let a third person know. I don't know if he will continue to help me in the future.”
"I'm ashamed," Li Yuanxi hurriedly said."I'm insensible."”
Li Jing hid the letter and said sadly,"
"I, Li Jing, wasted half my life and was respected as the Great Tang's God of War. I only had the passion to serve the country, but I actually needed an outsider's guidance to realize my ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country. Isn't it sad…"
"May I ask, what does the destruction of the country have to do with me?”
Li Yuanxi said," This expert Chu Qiu also wants Father to make a name for himself. Father has given up on himself. Wouldn't that disappoint him?"”
Deep down, Li Yuanxi felt a strong sense of curiosity and admiration for the mysterious Chu Qiu.
It was just that the expert was unwilling to show himself, so she had no choice.
"Why would he help us?" Li Yuanxi asked.”
"Who knows?" Li Jing asked.
……
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the manor.
Soon after, a voice with cadence sounded in the courtyard,"
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
"Great General Li Jing, please accept the edict!"
The chief eunuch, Liu Hong, had come to announce the decree on behalf of the Emperor.
The servants in Li Jing's residence had already knelt down.
Li Jing and Li Yuanxi quickly walked out when they heard the voice.
They bowed and prepared to receive the edict.
Eunuch Liu, the head eunuch, saw Li Jing walk out and read in a unique voice,"
"Yongliang's general manager, Li Jing, led the army to attack the Tubo Empire. He defeated the enemy in one battle and captured the Tubo King, Songzan Ganbu.
"Li Jing will be granted the title of Duke of the State of Wei. He will be rewarded with three thousand taels of gold, two hundred thousand mu of land, and a Duke's mansion. Li Jing will be promoted to Minister of War, and his previous salary will be doubled.
"From today onwards, I will take up my post in the Bureau of Military Personnel and lead the military affairs of the Great Tang's three armies.”
"In this battle, the rest of the meritorious officials will be rewarded according to their merits.”
"Respect this!"
Li Jing hurried forward and took the imperial edict.
Seeing the imperial seal on the imperial edict, Li Jing actually felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness.
How long had it been since he had received such an imperial edict?
Liu Hong handed the imperial edict to Li Jing. A few eunuchs behind him carried three thousand taels of gold to Li Jing's courtyard.
Seeing that the mission had been completed, Liu Hong's face revealed a relaxed expression.
He went to Li Jing's side and said happily,"
"Congratulations, Great General Li. You've been conferred the title of Duke, and not only that, you've also been promoted to Minister of War. In the future, General Li will be Marshal Li, the Grand Marshal of the Great Tang's three armies.!”
This Liu Hong was also a wily old fox who was well versed in the ways of officialdom.
After Li Jing was conferred the title of Duke, he quickly changed his words.
"After learning that State Duke Li returned in triumph, His Majesty also drafted an edict overnight. Even this old servant's legs broke from running…"
"Haha, I wonder if this old servant is lucky enough to go to Duke Li's estate to ask for a cup of wine.”
"Eunuch Liu has worked hard. Please stay and have a meal.”Li Jing hurriedly said," Although my humble abode is simple and crude, I still have a few jars of good wine. Eunuch Liu, please do me the honor…"
