More than a month later, Qin Mubai and Ah Snow Lotus’ wedding ceremony was held as scheduled.

As an old aristocrat on the grassland, the Ashna Race had declined for a while, but they were still very influential among the various tribes on the grassland. Coupled with Qin Mubai’s current reputation and Li Ji’s appeal, the chiefs of all the tribes in the grasslands personally came to celebrate. Even the Hu Lu Tribe, which was located at the foot of the Golden Mountain, had received news from 800 great deserts. Their chief, Hu Lu House, had invited several leaders of the nearby tribes to personally come from thousands of miles away to congratulate him.

It had been many years since the Great Tang had annihilated the Turks. It had been many years since such a grand gathering had been held on the grasslands. It had actually been able to bring together all the leaders of the grassland tribes. As the host of the wedding, Li Ji was not busy, because there was a big leader of the Huihe Tribe, Tu Mudu, who was helping to arrange everything.

During the wedding ceremony, Qin Mubai and Li Ji noticed a detail. Although these leaders were all here for Qin Mubai’s wedding, after they came, apart from congratulating Qin Mubai, all the leaders had to do was pay a visit to Vomiting Addict!

“Looks like Xue Yantuo was destroyed. After Yi Nan died, the Huihe Tribe will soon replace Xue Yantuo as the strongest tribe on the grassland. And vomiting bewilderment is about to become the uncrowned sweat in the hearts of the grassland people.” Li Ji had always had a keen eye. He said to Qin Mubai, “Mubai, what do you think?”

“Vomiting puzzlement, it’s true that your ambition is not small.” Qin Mubai said, “When Xue Rengui broke through the encirclement and went north to the Huihe Tribe, Tu Mudu used Xue Rengui’s strength to defeat the barbarians. From then on, he began to plan in his heart to use my Great Tang’s power to complete his dream of dominating the grasslands. So, he borrowed troops and married women to tie me down with Xue Rengui.”

“I can also tell that Tumi is an old and ruthless man. Once the Great Tang’s control over the grasslands weakens, he will expand his base’s strength. He wants to unify the grasslands and become the second barbarian man, or even the second Jieli Khan.” Li Ji laughed coldly and said, “But it’s a pity that he resigned from the foreign aid he had earned earlier!”

“This is called apologizing for the loss of both husband and wife.” Qin Mubai smiled. “I had already expected that my puke was quite intentional, so I didn’t give him a single one of the forty thousand cavalry he lent me. They were all absorbed into Guanxi Army alive.” Now, although I am married to Snow Lotus, I have already resigned from the court and am not in his position to do anything. It is impossible for him to cause any big commotion on the grassland alone in a short period of time. However, after Uncle Shi returned to the dynasty, he still had to remind His Majesty to be vigilant against vomiting mysteries and expanding his strength. Otherwise, the northern grasslands would be like before. Not long after Jie Li had been quelled, there would be another rebellion by barbarians. Actually, if you want to completely solve the problems of the grasslands, you can take advantage of the current war to adopt the strategy of “breaking through and then establishing”, imitating the Western Regions, and appoint prefectural officials and county magistrates in the grasslands, and station troops in the prefectures and counties. This kind of restriction could greatly weaken the authority of the tribal leaders and their own influence. And can capture thieves captured king, will spit confused degree to changan. That way, we can prevent the grasslands from becoming chaotic again to the maximum extent possible. ”

“Mubai, you should go back to the court!” After listening to this, Li Ji said, “I feel that if you were in charge of the military affairs of the Great Tang, you would be better than anyone else!”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Uncle Shi, you are flattering me too much. With you here, why do you have to teach me how to play tricks? I was the one who talked too much and made a fool of myself. Let’s not talk about this anymore!”

Li Ji shook his head helplessly and smiled, “Alright, on your wedding day, let’s not talk about these military matters-Mubai, you’re better than your father!”

“What do you mean?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“Although your father was also a handsome and heroic hero back then, and he was famous throughout the world for his heroic martial arts, he has never been liked by a woman like you.” Li Ji also smiled and said, “Look at you. You’ve robbed all the great beauties in the world.” Count all the women beside you, every single one of them is charming and enchanting. If an ordinary man could get the favor of any one of them, he would have no regrets in his life. But you are good, like a collection of treasures, like a car to pull home ah! –Look at your mother, she’s about to bloom! ”

“Haha!” Qin Mubai laughed loudly. “Uncle Shi, you probably don’t know that armies and officials are all my sidelines. My real main business is romance and courtship. Who doesn’t like liquor and wealth? I’ve always had no ambitions. That’s all I have to say.”

Li Ji was both angry and funny, “Your father knows that if he hears you say those words, he’ll have to get up and slap you a few times!”

Qin Mubai sighed softly. He smiled and said softly, “If father is still alive, I would rather be slapped by him.”

Li Ji patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder. “Uncle Treasure is alive and well. He will be proud of you!”

As there are too many guests coming and going, the wedding will be held for seven days. On the fifth day, an envoy was sent from the Tang Dynasty.

The messenger came with an imperial edict, recruiting Li Ji to return to court!

In addition, Chu Suiliang went to Lanzhou to find Qin Mubai and quickly returned to the capital to report. Thus, the Imperial Court knew that Qin Mubai was going to marry Snow Lotus in the grasslands. As a result, the messenger also brought a congratulatory gift from the Imperial Court.

The gift was not gold, silver, or jewelry. Instead, it was a plaque with Li Shimin’s unique calligraphy of the White Fei Calligraphy, and the eight words he had personally mentioned–“Pearl Curtain Wall Closing, Hundred Years of Benevolence”.

Qin Mubai thought to himself, “Since His Majesty the Emperor knows that I am here, but he did not bring up the matter of summoning me to return to the court and bestow marriage to Shuang’er, it seems that he also knows that I have made up my mind and will not try to force others to do it again.” Moreover, even I can clearly see the overall situation of the Imperial Court, how can he not see through it? The reason why he sent someone to invite me back to the court was because he had to do this kind of superficial kung fu. Otherwise, outsiders would say that he was jealous of virtue and jealousy and didn’t need meritorious service. But when I go back now, it’s actually a good thing and a bad thing. How could he not know? Therefore, he shouldn’t force me again. ”

“I have joined hands with his monarchs and subjects to help each other in the same boat, but the world is unpredictable … To be able to maintain the current situation is probably the best outcome!”

However, the messenger also brought a wedding gift from Li Ke, which could be said to be unique. It was also neither gold nor silver nor jewelry, but a chessboard, a set of golden tea set, and a small cloth bag.

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but recall that Li Ke once said that only by playing chess with Qin Mubai would Li Ke find it interesting. In Li Ke’s eyes, playing chess was like drinking wine. Now that his confidant was gone, there was no one to play the chess-so Li Ke gave the chessboard to Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai was very familiar with the gold tea set. Li Ke likes to drink tea and is addicted to it. Wherever he went, he would always bring this tea set with him. If he had the slightest leisure, he would make a pot of good tea and enjoy it. This tea set was the object of love that had always been by his side.

As for the small cloth bag, Qin Mubai opened it and saw that it was a traditional Chinese medicine-Angelica sinensis!

“Still not giving up, you want me to go back!” Qin Mubai held onto the angelica and secretly laughed.

The messenger took the opportunity to say to Qin Mubai, “Your Highness King Wu, I have something to tell Young Marshal Qin! But … it’s a curse, so I have to ask the young marshal to forgive me first!”

“How did he curse?” Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

The messenger’s face twitched a few times, seemingly extremely embarrassed. He boldly leaned towards Qin Mubai’s ear and whispered, “Your Highness scolded–Qin Mubai, you look like a hungry ghost dressed in animal clothes. Even the little widow queen of Zhaowu Kingdom won’t let go of you, and even made her pregnant!” When the child is born, remember to report your happiness and invite me over for a drink. Otherwise, I won’t let you off! ”

‘”Cough!” Qin Mubai coughed dryly and couldn’t help but laugh. “Please reply to King Wu and say … Samojian is more than 10,000 li away from Chang’an. If he dares to come, I will treat him! If he really wants to drink this wine, he can leave now!”

The messenger couldn’t help but laugh twice and said, “Young Marshal Qin, I can tell that His Highness Prince King Wu is truly reluctant to part with your close friend. He said that even if you want to resign and retire to seclusion, you can still stay in Chang’an. That way, he will be able to meet you sooner or later.”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “If His Highness King Wu really regards me as his best friend, why should we meet every day? Hai Memory’s best friend, the horizon is like a neighbor!”

“Your Highness King Wu also said that over the years, you have been like his eyes, ears, and brothers. Without you, you would be blind, deaf, and everything would be difficult for you.” The messenger said, “He said that without Qin Mubai, there would be no Li Ke today. As long as you are willing to return to Chang’an, His Highness Prince King Wu will not force you to do anything. He only sincerely hopes to have a confidant friend by his side. His Highness said … In his life, he will only have you as his only true friend!”

Qin Mubai shook her head with a smile and said helplessly, “Let’s talk about it later!”

The messenger immediately revealed a happy expression. “Has Xiaoguan transferred this sentence to His Highness Prince King Wu without moving?”

Qin Mubai pondered for a moment and said, “Then take another word with you! I once told my sister, but now I give it to His Highness King Wu-some people are better remembered than seen; some love is better forgotten than immersed in martial arts.”

The messenger was immediately stunned, “This …”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Tell him the truth.”

“Alright …”

“How is Princess Gaoyang?” Qin Mubai asked.

The messenger hurriedly replied, “Xiaguan is about to inform Young Marshal Qin that two or three months ago, Her Highness the Princess left Chang’an and went to Lanzhou to look for the young marshal. It is said that Her Highness the Princess did not see the young marshal when she arrived in Lanzhou and went straight to the Jade Gate Pass, as if she had gone to the Western Regions!”

Qin Mubai nodded and thought to himself, It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is reasonable. He did not make things difficult for Gaoyang, but let her come back to reunite with me. It could be seen that neither he nor Li Ke wanted to end things. Instead, they kept their final fantasies, hoping that one day I would return to the court as an official.

Unknowingly, Qin Mubai thought of Concubine Yin De. After Qin Mubai arrived at the Great Tang, he was most amazed by the woman who made him feel heartache.

He wanted to inquire about her, but it was not easy to ask directly, so he turned around and asked, “I heard that His Majesty the Emperor’s dragon body is unwell. Is it better now?”

“Heaven bless, His Majesty the Emperor has recovered more than half of his illness.” The messenger bowed towards the south and said, “The Emperor is ready to return to the Golden Royal Palace to preside over the court meeting. However, when Xiaoguan left Chang’an, His Majesty went back to the harem to recover from his illness. He ordered his eldest grandson, husband Fang and the others to assist His Highness King Wu in supervising the country. This imperial edict was issued by His Highness King Wu!”

“Is King Wu supervising the country?” Qin Mubai was somewhat surprised.

“Yes!” The messenger replied and began to describe the current situation in the court at length. However, there was no limit to what was left and right, except that he did not mention Concubine Yin De.

Qin Mubai didn’t know how to ask. After thinking for a while, she interrupted him and said, “Princess Gaoyang left Chang’an, leaving her mother and concubine alone in the palace. From now on, no one will take care of her … Speaking of which, it’s all my fault, separating them.”

The messenger was stunned–I was just speaking up, why did he suddenly mention Concubine Yin De?

Thus, he said, “This … I have no idea about the harem.”

Qin Mubai could only nod his head and could not say any more. He thought to himself, After coming to the Great Tang, I have three close friends. One was Yao’er, but her fragrant soul had long disappeared. One is my old enemy, Gaer Qinling, but he committed suicide by poisoning himself in front of me. The remaining imperial concubine Yin De will probably never see each other again in her lifetime …

‘”Ah–” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

“Major Marshal … why are you sighing?” The messenger was puzzled.

Qin Mubai shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. He turned around and left without speaking to the messenger. In his heart, he couldn’t help but think–

“Will mind to pay yaoqin

Little confidante …

“Who listens to the broken string?”
