Tang Jian was appointed as the Turks' pacification ambassador, and he immediately sent an envoy to the Turks, responsible for appeasing Jie Li, negotiating with the Turks, and stabilizing the situation in the grasslands as soon as possible.
As expected, a letter of appointment was delivered to Shuofang and Tang Jian on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
At the moment he got the news, Tang Jian, who was already prepared, carefully put away the letter of appointment, then put on his purple robe, took his banner, and led dozens of guards to leave. He stayed there for several months.
The long-lasting Shuofang.
Also leaving with Tang Jian was Hou Xiaohan of Sanyuan County.
Before Li Jing's stern military order arrived, which prohibited him from setting foot on the grassland, he resolutely packed his luggage and prepared to rush to Dingxiang City with the remaining two hundred guards.
The two distinguished guests in the posthouse suddenly left.
This may be the most wonderful news that Shuofang Yicheng has ever heard in his life!
When the whole city, old and young, saw the two off together, the Yi Cheng, who had been sick in bed for a long time, cried the most! He lay on the city wall and cried silently several times. The scene would definitely make anyone who heard it sad.
, everyone who sees it sheds tears!
However, in his crying, there was a hint of how much he really couldn't let go of the two of them!
Or maybe he was just glad that the two of them had left and that he would no longer be held accountable for his food poisoning. That was really unknown.
It's meaningless, Shuofang City is silent today.
The hustle and bustle of the Reunion Festival was now replaced by deep silence and low sobs.
The low city wall facing the grassland was filled with people who spontaneously came to see him off.
They were all looking into the distance silently, watching the two teams gradually go away until they disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this moment, many people suddenly realized that their separation from Xiao Han might be their eternal farewell!
So until night falls, there are still people standing on the city wall for a long time, praying to the bright moon in the sky, hoping that the soldiers can return safely.
Xiao Han, who has fully integrated into the Tang Dynasty, doesn't like parting now, very much!
Because he was afraid of touching his heartstrings, he couldn't help but shed tears. Since he left the city, he only waved from his back to the city, so the last impression he left on Shuofang City was a thin back and an arm swinging slowly in the air.
.
Parting hurts, but parting always happens unexpectedly before our eyes.
When the two teams silently left the city for ten miles, Tang Jian in front suddenly reined in his horse and looked back at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han saw Tang Jian's movements and stopped. He understood: This is where the two separated.
From here, he needs to go all the way north to meet Li Jing in Dingxiang City, while Tang Jian has to turn west, pass through the vast grassland, and finally reach the place called Qikou.
"Xiao Hou, we have a long journey ahead. Please take care of yourself!" Tang Jian sat on the horse and smiled and offered his hands to Xiao Han, as if he was not going to a Turkic camp like a dragon's den or a tiger's den, but just going to the countryside to relax.
, we will meet again soon.
Xiao Han's face was a little pale, and his eyes slowly passed over the faces of Xiong Kaishan and other people, and finally stopped on Tang Jian.
Perhaps no one in this world knows the dangers of Tang Jian's trip better than him!
Even though he has been fully prepared for this these days, as the old saying goes, people plan things and God makes them happen! The future outcome is not something anyone can predict!
"Tang Gong, take care!"
Slowly raising his hand, Xiao Han solemnly bowed to Tang Jian.
Then, he handed over his hands to Xiong Kaishan and others one by one, and said sincerely: "The safety of Duke Tang is entrusted to you all!"
"Haha, don't worry, Marquis Xiao! Those barbarians who want to touch Mr. Tang must first step over our bodies!" Xiong Kaishan responded with a careless gesture, but his tone was full of confidence and determination.
On the day of the New Year, he was reminded by Xiao Han's words. He went back and thought about it for a whole night, and finally decided to do what Xiao Han said, to fight for himself and his family!
Xiao Han was right. In this world, no one wants to do nothing all his life! And no one wants his family and future generations to endure the same hardships as himself!
So in the face of the opportunity given by him, Xiong Kaishan took this step resolutely and became the legendary pig standing on the wind, or a bear! Waiting for fate to arrange for him to rise to the top or fall into the abyss.
.
"Okay, remember your mission this time, and don't let hatred go to your head!"
He smiled hard at Xiong Kaishan. Although he had said this to Xiong Kaishan countless times before, at this moment, Xiao Han still couldn't help but tell him again!
When he goes to the hinterland of Turks, what he can see is that he will encounter a lot of things, some of which are heart-wrenching!
At that time, he hoped that the wild bear could restrain himself and stop going crazy!
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I know what's appropriate!"
In response to Xiao Han's instructions, Xiong Kaishan still giggled, his smile simple and unsophisticated.
Just by looking at his appearance, no one would be able to realize that this was the bloodthirsty demon god who made the nearby Turkic people talk about him.
"Okay, let's go! When we return in triumph one day, I will serve you a drink to celebrate!"
After patting Xiong Kaishan on the shoulder, Xiao Han took a deep breath and high-fived everyone else one by one!
However, when he high-fived Tang Jian at the end, Xiao Han clearly felt something was wrong. There seemed to be something extra in his hand.
"It's getting late, we have to be on our way, see you next time!"
When Xiao Han was slightly stunned, Tang Jian blinked his eyes, smiled slyly, then dismounted his horse and left first.
Behind him, Xiong Kaishan and others either rode horses or drove cars, following closely, and soon disappeared into the vast white sky and earth.
Xiao Han watched from behind as Tang Jian and the others left, until they could no longer see their backs, then he slowly loosened his clenched fists. In the middle of his fists, a small roll of paper slightly soaked with sweat suddenly appeared.
Looking down at the note in his palm, Xiao Han suddenly guessed what was written inside! So he hesitated for a long time before opening the note stiffly.
"Here we go to the Turks..."
As the note was opened bit by bit, Tang Jian's delicate and sharp fonts appeared on the paper, just like the impression he had always given Xiao Han: elegance with a bit of pride!
"Here we go to the Turks. Tang is not concerned about his own safety, but for the prosperity of the country! If Tang's life is exchanged for the destruction of the Turks, even if he dies, it is his duty to do so!"
After reading the last word on the note, Xiao Han felt his nose was sore, his chest seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton, and he was so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe!
Also, how could a man as smart as Tang Jian not know that appeasing the Turks was just a beautiful and ridiculous lie?
But even so, he still had no regrets and embarked on this road destined to escape death!
"Tang Gong, take care! I hope you can return safely as recorded in history."
The hand holding the note gradually tightened. Xiao Han closed his eyes and prayed in his heart. He hoped that this time, history would be as recorded before: Li Jing defeated the enemy camp and Tang Jian returned.
