Chapter Seventy-Three: The Messenger

Wu Sicheng, who returned to his mansion, suddenly felt an indescribable feeling floating in his heart.

Liu Xianzhi's proposal proposed to unite the countries of the Western Regions and the Paz Empire to deal with Tuqi, and since they wanted to form an alliance, they must send envoys. Not to mention that the lord of Badana of the Paz Empire, Baibasbarn, and Abicilir teamed up to kill Western Tuci, whether this is Baibasbahn's personal behavior or the Paz Empire's support behind him is unknown, and the envoy may face not only an alliance with the Paz Empire, but also a destruction of the alliance between the Paz Empire and Tukhi; The journey alone was thousands of miles away, and it was necessary to pass through the territory controlled by the Turks, or else it would be necessary to make a detour by sea to Paz, and the hardships and hardships were self-evident, and it was unknown whether they would even reach it safely, let alone return.

Such an important mission of course requires the appointment of the emperor's most trustworthy person, and at the same time, this person must also be able to adapt to the situation and mediate in time to promote the alliance, with the current officials in the imperial court, Wu Sicheng is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. His official rank is not too high, but it is not low, and he is deeply trusted by Liu Yan, and he is shrewd and capable. Emperor Liu Yan specially summoned him to discuss the envoy's intentions, and Wu Sicheng knew this.

However, Liu Yan was very hesitant about this appointment, not only because he was afraid of what kind of trouble Wu Sicheng would cause by the difficulties and dangers along the way; At the same time, because Wu Sicheng is responsible for the collection of Liu Yan's secret intelligence, although Wu Sicheng's lack will not bring the intelligence work to a standstill, the efficiency will inevitably be affected; is even more because Wu Sicheng's wife Qing'er just gave birth to a son for him, and it would be unkind for him to leave his wife at this time.

Wu Sicheng was also hesitant in his heart. If he recommends others against his will, then he is not worthy of being called Liu Yan's henchman. But it should be accepted that Qing'er's side is uneven, how to choose. Wu Sicheng couldn't make a choice in his heart.

But when Liu Yan opened his mouth to mention the candidate, Wu Sicheng still accepted it without hesitation. The implementation of such a national-level grand strategy is undoubtedly equivalent to the process of creating history, and it is a feat that many men dream of to be among the people who created history? This alone made Wu Sicheng unable to refuse, not to mention that he was also the emperor's most trusted courtier. Wu Sicheng told Liu Yan this way, and he also told his heart like this.

Liu Yan was also very pleased to see this, and he specially assigned the deputy captain of the guard, Jin Jier, to accompany him. On the one hand, Ginger is brave and shrewd, and on the other hand, he is also from the Ministry of Ramander. The Ramandel tribe surrendered to Abicheril out of helplessness, and their hearts were not convinced, and if they had secretly helped, the trip might have been much easier.

It's a pity that the ambition of the two monarchs and ministers could not provide any help for Wu Sicheng to explain to his wife after returning home. Stepping into the house, Wu Sicheng saw his wife Qing'er breastfeeding his son Wu Yuankun at a glance, and this scene suddenly made his tongue a little knotted, although this tongue once frightened the Great Khan of Tuqi Abicheril into a daze.

"Qing'er, that, the emperor sent me an errand today."

"Oh, what is it?" Qing'er raised her head and asked with a smile when she heard this. Since she gave birth to her second child, the feminine smell on her body has become more and more reflective.

Wu Sicheng stubbornly said: "The emperor sent me as the envoy to Pas. The purpose is to unite Paz and the countries of the Western Regions to deal with the Turks. ”

Qing'er's face changed: "Do you want you to send an envoy to Pass?" How long will it take? ”

"That, that, if it goes well, it will be more than half a year." Wu Sicheng suddenly felt hot all over, and his tongue knotted again.

Qing'er stared at her husband. In the end, he sighed and said, "That's it, since the emperor has issued an order, do you still have to agree?" You men have this kind of thing. I'm afraid they all agreed to come down. It's a great opportunity to make a difference, isn't it? ”

Wu Sicheng had to admit that Qing'er had been a mother and a husband and a child for many years. But her thinking was still as clear as ever, and her mentality was completely as she expected.

Qing'er gasped. patted Wu Yuankun, who had eaten to his heart's content, on the back, and said softly: "As a woman, who doesn't want her husband to be by her side every day?" It's a pity that this is all wishful thinking, a man will not like a woman who binds herself to the ground and can't fly high, even if this man doesn't have enough wings to soar into the sky, let alone an eagle like you? Do what you have to do, and I'll just warn you that this long journey will pass through the territory of Tukyo's control, and the dangers may be worse than you can imagine the worst-case scenario, do you have anything to do about it? ”

Wu Sicheng's heart is like putting down a big stone, Qing'er is a wise woman, but she can let go of her children's private feelings and understand the righteousness, which is indeed gratifying, seeing that his wife mentioned the most difficult part of the trip, Wu Sicheng replied: "The emperor sent Jingil to accompany me to protect me, but no matter how brave Jinier is, it is impossible to deal with a large number of Turkic cavalry." This time we had to keep a low profile as much as possible, trying to get through the zone of Turbaton first. I think it's safest to shorten the time it takes to enter the areas under the control of the Tunista Contract. ”

"Do you mean a detour? Are you going to take advantage of Tibet? ”

"Not bad!" Wu Sicheng expressed high respect for his wife's acumen: "Tubo is currently busy pacifying the internal tribes, obviously they also have great ambitions, but as long as they have not pacified the interior, they will not rashly fight with the Turks or our dynasty, so now Tubo may be the most trustworthy neutral country, even if our identity is known to Tubo, I believe that Tubo will not make too out-of-the-ordinary moves after weighing the pros and cons." ”

Qing'er nodded and said: "That's true, from its standpoint, it is in its best interests to let our two countries fight bloodshed, even if Tubo completes reunification, it needs some time to recuperate, so checks and balances are its best choice." In this respect, it may be more trustworthy than the countries of the Western Regions. ”

When the couple said this, they suddenly heard someone on the roof laughing softly: "I really didn't expect that the private words of the young eunuch in the palace were also about national affairs, it seems that I came at the right time." ”

Wu Sicheng was thrilled when she heard this voice, and Qing'er immediately recognized the identity of the person who made her and Wu Sicheng good things in the first place! Qing'er's eyes rolled to her heart, if this trip was accompanied by this martial arts Yang Tao, wouldn't it be much safer?

"Sheep hero, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you come down and catch up together?" Qing'er said and smiled and looked at the roof. (To be continued.) )
