Chapter 161 Marriage
Plans can never keep up with changes. Just when Shitou was overjoyed after proposing marriage and was discussing with Ye Haoran about choosing a date for the wedding, an imperial edict disrupted the original plan!
Li Zhi appointed General Fang Yiai of the Left Guard as the commander-in-chief, and General Shitou of the Auxiliary State as the vanguard, and led the 100,000 troops of the Left and Right Guards, the Left and Right Cavalry Guards, and 30,000 Modao troops to the Western Regions! Recover lost territory and open the door to the Western Regions!
This means that the Tang Dynasty officially declared war on Tubo and Western Turks!
This decision shocked everyone. No one expected that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty would make such a big move just after ascending the throne!
Before leaving, Ye Haoran gave Shitou many instructions:
"Safety first! Don't be too aggressive, don't go deep into the enemy territory alone, and don't be too eager for quick success! If you can't win, run away!"
Shitou nodded in response, glanced at the apricot blossoms that came to see him off in the distance, and smiled foolishly:
"Brother Haoran, please help me take care of Xinghua!"
"it is good!"
Shitou jumped on his horse and set off with the Modao Army in a majestic manner!
Watching Shitou's back gradually disappearing into the fluttering banners, Ye Haoran felt a little uneasy! This time, he would be gone for a few months at the fastest, or even several years at the slowest! At this point, he could only hope that Shitou would be safe!
The Ye Mansion suddenly became deserted! Tie Niu and his men were now captains, spending the entire day in the military camp, and no longer had the freedom they had before!
Only Ye Haoran, Xiuxiu, and the heartbroken Li Taibai were left in the Ye Mansion!
Ye Haoran originally wanted to bring Xinghua and her daughter over, but they were unwilling. Ye Haoran didn't want to force them, after all, they had their concerns!
So Ye Haoran found the half-dead Li Bai:
"Taibai! I want to ask you for a favor!"
"Master, you say!" Li Bai forced himself to cheer up!
"I want you to help me protect Xinghua and her daughter!"
"General Shi's fiancée?"
"Ok!"
"Brewing wine?"
"Ok!"
"Is there any salary?"
Ye Haoran took out the silver bag from his sleeve and threw it over:
"Come back for more after you use it up!"
Li Bai grabbed the silver bag, bowed, turned around and left!
Although Li Taibai is only at the Concentration Realm, it is enough to protect an ordinary father and daughter!
From then on, there appeared a melancholy young man in white clothes in the tavern three miles north of the city, drinking to drown his sorrows every day!
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Haoran and Xiuxiu are living a quiet life like they did when they were children! Only one of them is missing, the old one and the young one!
"Is Marshal Ye here?"
A sharp voice came from outside the door!
Ye Haoran sounded familiar and quickly opened the door:
"Eunuch Liu! Please come in quickly!"
The person who came was the current chief eunuch, Eunuch Liu!
"I'm here to congratulate Marshal Ye!" Eunuch Liu said with a smile as he walked in!
"Oh? I wonder where the joy that Eunuch Liu is talking about comes from?" Ye Haoran was a little confused!
"Marshal Ye, have you forgotten His Majesty's marriage proposal? Yesterday, the Khitan king wrote back, agreeing to the marriage between the Marshal and Miss Wanyan! His Majesty even gave the Marshal 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 pieces of brocade, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep as a betrothal gift! This is a treatment that even the marriage between princes and princesses does not have! This old servant is really happy for the Marshal! Hahahaha." Eunuch Liu laughed heartily, but his voice was not flattering!
"Thank you, eunuch!" Ye Haoran felt mixed emotions after hearing this. He naturally wanted to marry Wanyan Qingcheng, but the fact that it involved two countries made him worried!
Ye Haoran has been keeping an eye on the Khitans ever since the fight with Yelu Liangcai. Their people are barbaric and tough, and they have a flexible and ambitious ruler who will definitely not want to be under someone else's rule for long!
After the marriage, if the two countries have disputes again, wouldn't Wanyan Qingcheng and I be in a dilemma! Unless the two of them give up everything, retire to the mountains and forests, and not care about worldly affairs!
May I?
