Chapter Eighty-Three: Five Returns
After getting the news of Wu Sicheng's return to the dynasty, the happiest person was the emperor Liu Yan himself.
During the nearly a year that Wu Sicheng was sent to Pas, Liu Yan deeply realized the importance of his favorite. Without Wu Sicheng, not only does he lack a fun in his busy and abnormal daily state affairs, but also lacks an excellent staff officer who gives advice to himself, the most important point is that without Wu Sicheng, Liu Yan's intelligence collection efficiency is greatly reduced, even if Wu Sicheng entrusts Ji Chongxin to manage it on his behalf, but the two are too far apart from each other in terms of intelligence collection and processing capabilities, so Wu Sicheng left not long after Liu Yan felt a lot of inconvenience, if it weren't for Queen Hua secretly deploying forces to assist, Then Liu Yan may become the monarch of the audio-visual congestion.
Although Wu Sicheng had only just entered the area controlled by the Silk Country at the moment, and it would take time to return to the capital, Liu Yan's excitement was already overflowing, and he kept asking the envoy Wu Sicheng's current situation, so that Wu Sicheng's wife Qing'er later learned that the situation was far less than that of Liu Yan.
With Wu Sicheng returning to the capital, Liu Yan made an exception to go out of the city to greet him in person, and this honor made many ministers look sideways. To say that the emperors of the past dynasties always had a few particularly favored close ministers, and these close ministers were often criticized by people. Because almost all people will be pampered and arrogant, run rampant, and fall into infamy through the ages, and even those who are in different places emerge in endlessly. But Wu Sicheng is an exception, what he does is almost the same as the negative teaching materials of these people, he has always maintained a modest and respectful attitude, worked for Liu Yan with a heart for the country and the people, and never made a party to collect money. Even when he controlled a vast intelligence network throughout the country, he never used this power to deceive the emperor for personal gain. While later generations spoke highly of Liu Yan's era, they also expressed high respect for this peculiar favorite. Some even held him up as an example of a courtier. But at that time, Wu Sicheng's favor still aroused the jealousy of many people. For a long time after that, he had to live with negative reviews.
As soon as he saw Wu Sicheng's face, Liu Yan couldn't help but step forward and take his hand, looked up and down for a long time, and sighed: "It's hard work for you to go to the Paz Empire this time, I don't want to be so haggard as Zhiqing." ”
Wu Sicheng, who has just entered the year of establishment, is full of hardships along the way at this moment, and his dry beard and dark skin set off this vicissitudes of life very obviously. But in fact, he has always been smooth along the way, and since he formed an alliance with Tubo, he has been escorted along the way, and all places along the way have been polite to him and his party. It wasn't until he came out of the Ramandel tribe and began to rush back that he really suffered a lot. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Tukis people, they had to choose to cross the difficult desert area, and at the last moment they were discovered by the Tukchi rangers, and after a thrilling chase, they returned safely to the territory controlled by the Silk Country.
Since Liu Yan said so, Wu Sicheng naturally couldn't say anything, so he only bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is concerned, and Weichen is grateful, but fortunately, this trip has lived up to Your Majesty's trust and has concluded an alliance with the Paz Empire." ”
"I'll talk about that later. Today is just for Aiqing and others to catch the wind and wash the dust. Liu Yan said as he pulled Wu Sicheng's deputy envoy Jin Jier and said with a smile: "Wu Aiqing returned safely, and Qing Ju has made great contributions." ”
Ginger hurriedly saluted: "To serve Your Majesty, dare not do your best." Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission, and I really didn't dare to take credit. ”
The reception banquet held for Wu Sicheng and Jin Jill was very grand, but the scale was not large. The people present at the table were all important ministers of the Silk Country, because the things to be discussed at this reception were all important matters related to the battle strategy of the Silk Country and the Tuqi. Messages must be controlled.
When Liu Yan learned that Wu Sicheng had not only formed an alliance with the Paz Empire, but also won over the Tuqi ally, the lord of Badana, Babasbarn. At the same time, he also became an ally with Tubo, and won the loyalty of the Ramandel Department, not only strategically completed the encirclement of Tuqi, but also planted a fire that broke out at any time within Tuqi.
After the banquet was over, Liu Yan left the two alone, and then asked, "Why is the sheep hero who went with him missing?" ”
Wu Sicheng replied: "Your Majesty doesn't know, after the sheep hero entered the customs, he left and left, and Weichen couldn't keep it, so he had to let him go." ”
Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh and said: "The sheep hero is chivalrous and courageous, he has made great achievements in this journey, and the widow left before he had time to reward him, so the widow owes him more and more favors." ”
Wu Sicheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to care, Yang Daxia was not originally a person in Vanity Fair, and besides, he has already gained an unexpected harvest from this trip, and he is already satisfied." ”
"Oh? What is this windfall? Liu Yan couldn't help but be interested.
Wu Sicheng said: "Actually, I can let Yang Daxia accompany him this time, completely because Neiko lobbied him at the beginning to maybe meet a talent on the road and teach him a martial art." However, we didn't have the chance to meet such a person until we left the Ramandel Division, and the sheep hero was very disheartened at the time, and when we were discovered and chased by the Turks, this opportunity came unexpectedly. At that time, we were pursued by the Tukchi army, and although we could not get it by relying on the sheep hero and the Ginger Tukhi alone, we were unable to get rid of each other, and it would be very bad if the other party's reinforcements came to help, at this time we got the help of a group of wolves, and the horses of the Tukhi people were scurrying around, and we were able to get rid of the enemy smoothly. It was only later that we found out that someone had controlled the wolves and secretly helped each other. ”
"Is there such a thing? Is there such a person? There are so many wonderful things in this world. Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"This is not strange, what is even more strange is that this wolf king who can control the wolves is actually a thirteen-year-old boy. He claimed to be a Uighur, but when his tribe was destroyed by the Turks, he was left in the wilderness to feed the wolves, but instead of eating him, the wolves took good care of him, and he became the leader of the wolves a few years later by his own wisdom! Seeing that we were being hunted down by the Turks, he came to his aid. Yang Daxia found that the young man was not only strong and agile, but also had a flexible mind, which was a rare material for martial arts, so he decided to take him back to the mountains to teach for three years to see the results. It's worth it. ”
"Does this son have a name?"
"Yes, his original name was Ambahu Kenarduhan, and the sheep hero was troublesome, so he changed his name to Flying Feather Wolf." (To be continued.) )
