Datang New Giants

Chapter 207 Secret Mission
"No hurry, no hurry, let's talk after drinking some water." Seeing Chang Sun Chong panting, Lu Ting calmly asked him to calm down first.

Since it's a good thing, don't worry.

Chang Sun Chong didn't care about drinking water, and said excitedly: "Boss, happy event, great event, the emperor has just made an appointment. You are on the list of the envoy to Qianquan this time. The position is deputy envoy. As soon as I heard the news, I hurried I’m here to announce the good news to you, it’s enough to be righteous.”

"What? Going to Qianquan as an envoy? Is this a good thing?" Lu Ting said with a look of surprise.

If I remember correctly, Qianquan seems to be in the Western Regions, which is the territory of the Turks. Where did he go all the way, is this a good thing?

"Of course it's a good thing." Chang Sun Chong said with a confident face: "This time I am going to Qianquan as an envoy, and I will get credit for nothing. I can be promoted after going out for a while. I don't know how many people are jealous. The prince remembers you in his heart and won it for you." A fat job for a deputy envoy."

Lu Ting said with some doubts: "Qianquan is the territory of the Western Turks. The relationship between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty is sometimes tense and slow. When we arrive at Qianquan, I don't know if we can return to the Tang Dynasty smoothly. This is also called a fat job?"

After turmoil and division, the Turks were divided into two Turks, the East and the West. Tongyehu Khan was the leader of the West Turks, while the East Turks were headed by Jieli Khan. The East and West Turks were hostile to each other, and occasionally they would tacitly go to the territory of the Tang Dynasty to plunder people and property. Huo, thanks to the efforts of Li Er, the relationship between Datang and Western Turks was stable, and an alliance was reached to jointly fight against Jieli Khan.

Datang and Western Turks have a cooperative relationship, but also have differences. Tong Yehu Khan has always wanted to get more benefits from Datang, and has made things difficult for Datang's missions over the years.

Seeing that Lu Ting didn't believe it, Chang Sun Chong explained it quickly, and then Lu Ting understood the reason.

Jieli Khan has been recruiting troops for these years, and Tong Yehu Khan is in crisis. In order to consolidate the alliance with Datang, he sent envoys to Tang to ask for peace. Li Yuan followed Pei Ju's suggestion and decided to send Gaoping Wang Li Daoli to the Western Turks to discuss Marriage matters.

This time the mission to Qianquan, Gaoping Wang Li Daoli was the chief envoy, and there were three deputy envoys, Li Heng, the commander of the Yihu Camp of Yulin Army, Zhang Zheng, the new Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and Lu Ting, the last one.

The three deputy envoys had a clear division of labor, Li Heng was in charge of safety, Zhang Zheng was in charge of etiquette, and Lu Ting was in charge of logistics and other trivial matters.

After Changsun Chong finished his introduction, he said with some unsatisfactory intentions: "This time the mission to Qianquan, led by King Gaoping, left Chang'an. It is equivalent to an imperial envoy in the Tang Dynasty, and it is equivalent to a distinguished guest when it arrives in the Western Turkic territory. There are soldiers escorting along the way. There are post stations, officials and gentry from all over the country are vying for a banquet, this time it’s about marriage, Tong Yehu Khan will definitely not be stingy, isn’t this a fat job.”

There are quite a few people staring at this position, even Changsun Wuji is a little moved, he wants to let Changsun Chong also join the mission, to mix up his resume, Lu Ting's performance was too eye-catching a few days ago, Li Er thought twice, or give this position Give it to Lu Ting.

"Where is Zheng Qing?" Lu Ting asked with some surprise: "Isn't he and Tong Yehu Khan very good friends? If he goes, maybe the effect will be better."

"Jieli Khan's mission had just left, and the two sides also signed an agreement to send Uncle Zheng there. For fear of arousing Jieli Khan's suspicion, it would be appropriate for King Gaoping to go. His status is distinguished, and he is still in the Li clan."

It turned out to be like this, Lu Ting nodded secretly.

Qianquan is a bit far away, now that a large stall is working hard, Lu Ting is a little embarrassed when he suddenly goes to the Western Regions.

This matter was Li Er's decision, and Li Yuan also agreed, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to.

Not long after, Cheng Chuliang, Du He, and Hou Mingyuan also came. They all received the news that Lu Ting was serving as the deputy envoy. These rich and powerful children are well-informed.

After several people expressed their congratulations to Lu Ting, they all stayed for dinner with peace of mind.

It doesn't matter if you are late or drunk, staying overnight at Lu's house, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin have no objections.

The next day, Lu Ting didn't get up to play chess under the watchful eye until it was three poles high in the sun.

Last night, Changsun Chong didn't leave and stayed at home clamoring to celebrate. He also toasted Lu Ting in turn, and he got drunk before he knew it.

"Siqi, did the eldest grandson get up at them?" Lu Ting asked casually, shaking his aching head.

While helping Lu Ting to dress, Siqi responded softly: "If you go back to the young master, the young masters have washed and left half an hour ago."

These guys are obviously the children of the rich and powerful, and they are all so self-disciplined that Lu Ting doesn't know what to say.

"Let someone prepare the horse, and go to Liangshi Mountain for a while."

It takes at least a year and a half to go to Qianquan as an envoy. In this way, one's plans will be disrupted. Before going on an envoy, you must make proper arrangements.

Siqi's nose twitched, and he quickly frowned, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, don't go to Liangshi Mountain, let's take a bath first, someone has just come to the Qin Palace, let the young master go to the Qin Palace for a while at [-]:[-]" trip."

He drank too much last night, and Siqi just wiped it carefully for Lu Ting. It may be the reason of the constant sweat, and it smells like alcohol sweat. It is not good to go to the Qin Palace like this.

Improper attire and lack of attention to appearance and manners can be punished for serious disrespect.

As expected, Lu Ting nodded, after taking a bath and changing clothes, seeing that there was still plenty of time, Shi Shi ran to the direction of Prince Qin's mansion after breakfast.

"I met Mr. Lu."

"Master Lu is doing well."

On the way to Prince Qin's mansion by car, the team members responsible for transporting Liangshiquan and Xiaweitang ran down the street and greeted Lu Ting respectfully, and Lu Ting responded with a smile.

After counting, it was a short distance from home to Prince Qin's Mansion, Lu Ting saw three water trucks transporting Liangshiquan, and nodded inwardly.

The size of the water transport fleet is getting bigger and bigger. When they get used to it, they will slowly start to bring goods. If it goes well, it will not only solve the problem of surplus labor in Wuyitang, but also give those retired veterans a choice.

Unknowingly arrived at Prince Qin's mansion, and Li Er happened to be there too, after passing the transmission, he soon saw Li Er in the study.

"Students pay homage to their mentor." Lu Ting immediately saluted Li Er respectfully as soon as he saw Li Er.

Li Er was instructing, and said without raising his head when he heard the words: "Forget it, get up."

"Thank you, teacher."

Lu Ting responded, stood up by himself, and stood aside quietly waiting.

Li Er finished correcting the secret letter in his hand, put down his pen, looked at Lu Ting, and asked, "Zhiyuan, you must know the reason why you came here."

"Returning to En. Teacher's words, it should be about going to Qianquan, right?"

Lu Ting was a little excited, and was so excited that he couldn't speak easily. The master-student relationship with Li Er was a coincidence. Li Er didn't agree with it at first, but he slowly changed his mind through his own efforts. Now he took the initiative to call his own name, Needless to say, another big step forward.

Li Er nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, it's the envoy Qianquan, guess what, as the deputy envoy, what should you do?"

There was a clever student who saved a lot of effort, and Li Er became more and more satisfied with Lu Ting's performance.

For other people, this question is not easy to answer. It is too simple for Lu Ting, who knew what Li Er was thinking. He thought of the answer just now on the road. As an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, I will find a way to show the friendly side of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Turks, especially to show the goodwill of the mentor to the Western Turks."

Under Li Yuan's favor, Li Jiancheng continued to suppress Li Er. Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji and others never gave up lobbying Li Er's idea of ​​preemptive strikes. For Li Er, stabilizing the relationship with surrounding allies is very important.

If Li Er didn't have the intention to strike first, he would have punished Cheng Yaojin and others long ago, so he would have stayed by his side and given them the opportunity to lobby him.

Li Er took a deep look at Lu Ting, said nothing, and handed a sealed letter to Lu Ting: "Find an opportunity to hand it to Tong Yehu Khan. people."

Lu Ting took it over with a serious face, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, teacher, the students will definitely handle this matter properly."

Li Er explained a few more words, and then suddenly said: "By the way, bring Qin Gensheng with you when you leave."

"Qin Gensheng?" Lu Ting was a little stunned, feeling that the name was familiar, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

"Isn't he helping at Xiaweitang? What's the problem?" Li Erqing frowned.

When Lu Ting heard this, he quickly remembered, and said a little embarrassedly: "The nickname is Qin Gensheng, the one-eyed man. I usually call him by his nickname, but I didn't remember it for a while."
