Chapter 2212 You can’t just throw down your armor and return to the fields in your early twenties to entertain your grandchildren, right? (Please subscribe)
Cheng Chubi urged the driver to speed up and speed towards the door of his house.
Before the carriage came to a stop, Cheng Chubi jumped off the carriage vigorously, walked quickly to the steps, and bowed respectfully to his father and mother.
Before I could speak, I felt like my knees were empty and I was being lifted out by my own father who could lift a cauldron.
Then there was the familiar and kind old face full of flesh and steel whiskers, slapped so hard that Cheng Chubi almost thought he had dislocated his shoulder.
"Okay, okay, you kid, you finally came back safely, why do you have such a ridiculous tan?
Madam, look, this boy's face, which was originally as white as his husband's, looks like an autumn apple."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Cheng family burst into laughter. The only one whose face turned a little dark was Cheng Sanlang.
"...Dad, is this called plateau red? If you stay on the plateau for a long time, you will get tanned like this."
"Yes, father-in-law, my husband looks pretty good with a tan like this."
Li Mingda, who had already gotten off the carriage, moved forward, took Cui's arm and expressed his opinion in a low voice.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and said with a hearty smile.
"Daughter-in-law, if you think you look good, then you must look good. Black spots are black spots. There is a complimentary word for it. It means you are pretty in the dark, right, madam?"
Mrs. Cui couldn't control the kindness on her face for a moment. Li Mingda beside her buried her head deeply, wishing she could hide her little face in her mother-in-law's elbow.
Fortunately, at this time, the eldest brother Cheng Chumo, who was very emotionally intelligent, wiped his face and intervened in time.
"Whatever dad says is what matters. The most important thing is for our family to be happy."
Cheng Chubi looked at his biological father's face, which was at least two shades darker than his own, and said, "Well, Dad, you are prettier."
But Cheng Chubi only dared to say this word of praise silently in his heart.
Mainly because I was worried that if I spoke out, I would be beaten by my father with a big stick on the first day back home, and that it would be inappropriate to run around Luoyang.
Ms. Cui also came forward, looked at Cheng Sanlang, adjusted the mirror on the bridge of her nose, and looked at the increasingly mature Sanlang.
There were so many things to say, but in the end they all came together in one sentence: "Just come back. Let's go home with mother."
#####
What kind of place is home? Home is a place where people can take off their disguises, put aside all their calculations and scheming, and relax.
Those familiar delicacies, as well as the concerns and greetings from the blood-related relatives around him, whetted Cheng Chubi's appetite.
The feast was very enjoyable, and the whole family enjoyed themselves happily. It took a full hour to finish the feast.
Afterwards, his mother, Mrs. Cui, stood up and all the female relatives left. Li Mingda looked at Cheng Sanlang reluctantly, and then obediently followed her away.
The last remaining ones are a few adults from the Cheng family.
General Cheng was still sitting beside the iron stove with his majestic posture, and directly called his adult sons to come and surround the iron stove.
While drinking the Sanlejiang, which was not intoxicating but nourishing, we started chatting about serious things.
"I say, Sanlang, you have really made great contributions to the imperial court this time."
Cheng Yaojin stroked his thick beard like a steel needle, his biological son Cheng Sanlang whom he had not seen for almost a year.
At this moment, after taking a big mouthful of Sanle juice, his face was wrinkled together with a complicated expression for a long time before he let out a long breath.
"If you hadn't contained Tubo and saved Tuyuhun, I'm afraid that after Tang Dynasty had dealt with Xue Yantuo, we would have to face a powerful plateau force in the future."
"Your Majesty has praised you young people very much. The benefits of you guys are indispensable."
Having said this, Cheng Yaojin paused, took a big sip of the Cheng family's secret Sanle juice, and moistened his throat before saying.
"But, you guys, the achievements you have made at such a young age are really..."
Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth and thought about it, but felt it was hard to describe.
"Anyway, in the coming days, you kid must hide your clumsiness and learn more from your father and me."
"Look at Li Weigong, the most decorated military figure in the Tang Dynasty. Now he is thanking guests behind closed doors and teasing his grandson. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand what daddy means." Cheng Chubi nodded vigorously, feeling deeply worried.
It seems that my own father is also worried that his great achievements will shock his master. As the saying goes, heroes think alike.
Even though Li Shimin was the heroic leader of the Tang Dynasty and would not be good at killing meritorious ministers, the problem was that he was so young. If he performed meritorious deeds at a young age, his merits would be too great.
You can't just be in your early twenties and imitate Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, who took off his armor and returned to his fields to entertain his grandchildren, right?

Early in the morning on the second day, Cheng Chubi, who was feeling refreshed and full of energy, rode straight towards the palace.
Although they had not seen him in recent years, the Imperial Guards guarding the gate saw Cheng Chubi and all came forward to congratulate him.
After all, Cheng Chubi returned to the plateau and made meritorious deeds again, and his merits were considerable.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that everyone is very curious and wants to know what Cheng Chubi is capable of, and he actually made Songtsan Gampo and his son angry to death.
As soon as he heard that these rough men actually inquired about this matter, Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes angrily and went straight to the palace.
#####
"It seems that the matter must be true, otherwise why would Cheng Sanlang fall out as soon as he heard about it."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I used to think that Cheng Sanlang was very talkative, but I didn't expect that he could actually make people angry to death."
"Yes, yes, the ability to make a father and his son angry to death is truly extraordinary for an ordinary person."
Cheng Chubi was striding towards the palace. Then he saw an old acquaintance walking towards him.
It was none other than the former famous Tubo Prime Minister Gardongzan. The other party did not expect to meet Cheng Sanlang here, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"The official met Taibao Xiao Cheng, but he didn't expect that Taibao Cheng had already returned to the court.
I would like to congratulate Taibao Xiao Cheng for his great achievements on the plateau and for returning to the court in victory."
"Thank you very much, Taibao Xiao Cheng, out of consideration for my humble appearance as a low-ranking official, for protecting my Xue clan..."
Cheng Chubi looked at Galdongzan, who looked very complicated, and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just pissed off the other person's predecessor, well, the former lord.
"No matter where you are, you and I are ministers of the same palace, and it is appropriate to do these things.
Your eldest son praises Xiruo for resolutely leading the Xue family to join in, which can be called a timely help..."
Just when the Houzang family was just beginning to have troubles, the eldest son Zan Xiruo, who was left by Gal Dongzan to take charge of the overall situation of the Xue family, reacted immediately.
He led more than 3,000 members of the Xue family to leave their homeland and went straight to Chawarong City to join the Tang Dynasty.
It has to be said that the timing he chose was quite good, and at the same time, it could be regarded as solving Galdongzan's last worry about serving the Tang Dynasty.
In the future, the Xue family can be called people of the Tang Dynasty in life and ghosts of the Tang Dynasty in death.
