"Brother, I heard that there is an endless sea of flowers on the grassland, as well as endless blue sky and white clouds. Do you want to go and see it?"
"good!"
"Then Brother Su Chen has made an agreement with me. As long as Sizi goes back obediently, he will take Sizi to see the sea of flowers and blue sky in the grassland next year!"
Xiao Sizi immediately danced with joy.
"Of course, can I still lie to you?"
Su Chen smiled.
"Then let's pull Gou Gou first. If Brother Su Chen doesn't take me there by then, then Brother Su Chen will be a big pig!"
"Okay, let's hook up!"
After coaxing little Sizi, Su Chen gave instructions to Lotus Sun.
"After you go to Chang'an City with Lizhi and the others, you must take good care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, just tell them and the imperial doctors in the palace will treat you."
"During my absence, I must take good care of myself."
Faced with Su Chen's gentle advice, Sun Rong nodded shyly and said, "Young Master, I understand. I will definitely take good care of myself and will not let the Young Master worry about me anymore."
"Brother Su Chen, don't worry. I will take care of Sister Sun Rong when the time comes. Don't tire yourself out while dealing with things in Haizhou. We are waiting for your return in Chang'an."
Princess Changle said.
"Um."
After saying goodbye to the girls, it was Li Chengqian's turn.
Before Su Chen could speak, Li Chengqian pulled Su Chen aside and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, when you just told Sizi to take her to the grassland, were you talking about the Altyn Grassland?"
Sizi was still a child and didn't know much, but Li Chengqian had already gotten a lot of information from what Su Chen said.
Blue sky and white clouds are the most sparse and common scenery in grasslands, but the sea of flowers is rare.
In Li Chengqian's opinion, the only area that meets this requirement is the area near the Turkic Royal City, which is the Altyn Grassland.
Su Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I am talking about the Altyn Grassland. How is it? Is there any problem?"
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "Teacher, although the Turks have been destroyed and included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the grassland area is vast, and not all areas are completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty.
The power of those tribes cannot be underestimated."
"It would be bad if these Tatars get the news by then and take action recklessly."
What Li Chengqian said is true. Although the Turkic grasslands have now been included in the Tang Dynasty, there are still many tribes that do not obey the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
The northern grasslands are simply too big, and even the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty may not guarantee that these potential disasters can be eradicated.
"I thought you were going to say something."
Seeing Li Chengqian's serious look, Su Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Teacher, I am doing this for the safety of you and Sizi."
Su Chen patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said confidently: "Remember, no matter how domineering those barbarians were in the Altyn Grassland in the past, I, the Tang Dynasty, am the master now!"
"If they dare to make mistakes, then I don't mind letting them experience the majesty of my Tang cavalry again!"
"Is there anything in the world that is not the royal land?"
Looking at Su Chen's high-spirited look, Li Chengqian couldn't help but continue: "Teacher, drive carefully..."
"Okay, don't mention this again."
Su Chen interrupted: "Is it possible that you think those Turks can pose any threat to me?"
Seeing that Su Chen was showing some signs of being unhappy, Li Chengqian did not dare to continue talking and could only shut his mouth knowingly.
However, Su Chen didn't seem to want to spare him at all, and said in a straight face: "Have you forgotten what I usually tell you?"
"As the future emperor of my country, you must be as domineering as an emperor. If you are always cautious, people who don't know may think that my country is a soft persimmon!"
"Remember, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to fear any country in the world. As long as we score against others, no one will score against us!"
"Anyone who offends our Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Su Chen seemed to feel that his tone was a little too harsh, so he adjusted it slightly, and then said: "Of course, we just want the world to know that our Tang Dynasty is inviolable, and we cannot let the blood of those soldiers be shed in vain!"
"do you understand?"
For a moment, Li Chengqian didn't know how to answer Su Chen, so he could only look there at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake.
Seeing this, Su Chen patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Okay, go back and think about it slowly. It's up to you how much you can understand."
"Yes, thank you teacher for your teaching!"
…
"drive!"
The coachman shouted loudly, and the carriage drove slowly into the distance under Su Chen's gaze.
"Master, goodbye..."
After reluctantly saying goodbye to Su Chen, Sun Rong felt a little empty in her heart. Next, she was going to face a brand new life, and her thoughts were very complicated.
From then on, she was no longer a woman from an aristocratic family with no fixed abode, but became one of the most noble women in the Tang Dynasty.
All this is because of the encounter with Su Chen.
What Rong Sun didn't know was that there would be an unexpected surprise waiting for her when she went to Chang'an City this time.
That is, Su Chen asked for an official position for her from His Majesty Li Er, the fifth-grade imperial concubine!
Su Chen knew that with Sun Rong's sensitive temperament, she would definitely have a grudge against her family background.
He did this just to help Sun Rong avoid some rumors.
…
After Princess Changle and others left, Su Chen also had to deal with business.
Now, he wants to devote all his energy to controlling the locust plague in the north.
Over at Guanzhou, under Liu Mo's handling, there were basically no problems with the disaster, and everything was back on track.
As for Haizhou, there is a manpower problem for officials.
Su Chen decided to temporarily appoint Liu Mo as the governor of the two states. With his ability, there is absolutely no problem in taking up this position.
Now that the locust plague has come to an end, Su Chen can finally start the next step!
With Su Chen's nature of revenge, those aliens who are hiding in the dark and planning this locust plague will be greeted by his overwhelming wrath!
Even if these aliens fled to the ends of the earth, Su Chen would use his own methods to find them out!
…
The dark cell was filled with a dark and damp smell, which was very uncomfortable.
"Duke Protector, those remnants of the aristocratic families have been imprisoned deep in the cage according to your instructions, and not one of them has escaped!"
Under the leadership of the prison chief, Su Chen came to the depths of a most heavily guarded cell.
