The woman said in a very nostalgic tone: "My mother gave me this name, and it's called Yang Min."
Hearing this woman's surname was Yang, Li Wenbin had a little understanding: "Your mother is Princess Yicheng from the former Sui Dynasty?"
A look of surprise appeared on the woman's face, but before she could speak, Li Wenbin's next words made her suddenly change color.

"Then who is your father? Qimin Khan or Shibi Khan?"
Princess Yicheng first married Qimin Khan. After Qimin Khan died, Shibi Khan ascended the throne and married Princess Yicheng as his wife according to Turkic customs.

Princess Yicheng has married four khans in her life, and even Jieli Khan is still her junior. This is simply rebellious in the eyes of the Han people. It is no wonder that the woman who calls herself Yang Min will be angry when she hears what Li Wenbin said .

"Hmph, Your Highness King Qin, I hope you don't try to provoke me with such silly tricks. This is not something a prince should do. What's more, I have the noble blood of the Sui and Ashina families in my body."
"Bah, to put it bluntly, isn't it a..."
Su Dingfang couldn't bear it anymore, and almost said the word "bastard", but was stared back by Li Wenbin.

"How is Princess Yicheng doing?"
In any case, she was also a princess of the former Dynasty, and the legal system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the former Sui Dynasty. Li Wenbin should ask whether it is reasonable or not.

"My mother is in good health, and although she is old, her mind is still sharp."
"Just like when the Turks were provoked to attack my Tang Dynasty?"
"His Royal Highness King Qin, did my mother do something wrong? My Great Sui's country was taken away by you Li Tang!"
"Please pay attention, Ashinamin."
"Although my Tang dynasty was inherited from the previous dynasty, it was not taken from your Yang family. It was Yu Wenhuaji who killed Yang Guang."
"You don't need to teach me, of course I know. My mother gave me a smart mind, so that I can remember many things. Then let me ask you, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, your grandfather made my Yang family descendants emperor, But in the end? Isn’t it abolished and established as emperor?”
"How do you explain this?"
"Explain? Explain what?" Li Wenbin sneered at Yang Min's question, "Didn't your former Sui also take over the Northern Zhou Dynasty? What explanation do you have for this?"
Yang Min was stopped by his words, and he had nothing to say for a while.

"Ashi Namin, you are the daughter of the Turkic Khan, you can only be named Ashina, not my Han Chinese surname, please pay attention to this."
"If you really want to care about it, then I agree. Please come back to Chang'an with me, and I will make your wish come true."
After finishing speaking, Li Wenbin stood up and said coldly: "Come here, burn down this earthen city, and return the army."
"Yes!"
Li Wenbin knew that it was no longer appropriate to go deep alone at this time.

He is not afraid of the Turkic people, nor is he afraid of Jieli Khan's fat "Prairie Eagle", which is almost unable to fly, but this time his goal has been achieved, and he has more important things to do.

That is to bring the daughter of Princess Yicheng back to Chang'an.

Ashinamin cooperated unexpectedly and did not seek trouble.

In her words: with such a noble status as hers, she is not allowed to behave like a lowly commoner.

It's just that Ashinamin put forward some other requirements: for example, to get treatment that matches her status, such as providing a milk bath once a day, and sprinkling Tianshan snow lotus petals.

There are also some requirements for food and accommodation, anyway, Li Shu, who listened to her and took care of her, was dumbfounded.

To this woman's words, Li Wenbin's answer was only one sentence: "If you are full, you will be full."
"Don't look at her being so coquettish now, as long as she is hungry for three days, she can eat whatever she has.

"But I think she's serious."
Patting Li Shu on the shoulder, Li Wenbin said with a smile: "Don't worry, the essence of human beings is pigeon essence, repeater and real fragrance."
Li Shu: "?"
She felt that these words could be recognized separately, but they didn't know what they meant when they were put together.

After finding enough loot and supplies, Li Wenbin took this special prisoner and set off.

On the way back, everyone was in a very good mood.

The sergeants have already obtained Li Wenbin's promise that he will not take a single cent of the spoils this time and the subsequent rewards, but will share them with everyone.

The gains from selling the Qiang captives this time, as well as the trophies obtained by individuals in previous battles, plus the emperor's rewards that will definitely be given at that time, made these soldiers crazy.

You must know that there are only more than [-] people accompanying Li Wenbin on the expedition this time, and the small number of people means that everyone will receive a lot of rewards.

As for the exact number, no one knows, but Li Wenbin has secretly calculated it for them—I dare not say if there are too many, at least for this lifetime, they will be able to live comfortably.

In other words, financial freedom.

The rewards for military exploits in the Tang Dynasty were very generous, and the emperor never hesitated to reward meritorious soldiers generously.

As for the officers, they were even more excited—it was certain that they would get rich, and promotion was a certainty.

If you're lucky, you might even get a title.

The thought of being called Lord So-and-so in the future made these officers feel a little shaky when they walked.

"And you, what reward do you want?"
Li Wenbin looked at the slightly dull Li Shu beside him and asked.

"Reward? What's the use of rewarding me, a dying person?"
Li Shu's voice was a little muffled, and she didn't know why.

"Oh yes, I forgot if you didn't tell me. We agreed, after you help me this time, I will let your corpse return to its roots and be buried in your hometown in Youzhou."
Li Shu nodded, but did not speak.

"but……"
Li Wenbin intentionally elongated his voice: "I didn't say when the fallen leaves return to their roots, right?"
"You... what do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting, I just suddenly remembered that there seems to be nothing wrong with sending your body back to your hometown in Youzhou for burial after you die of old age."
"you……"
Tears flowed from Li Shu's eyes.

"What's the matter, is it because you don't have to die, you are so happy?"
Li Shu nodded, then shook her head again.

"Originally, you must die, because no one can live in this world safely after assassinating me."
"Then why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"It seems to me that one death is not enough to pay for your wrongs. So, I commuted your death sentence to life imprisonment."
"In other words, you will continue to serve me until..."
"Until you die, or I die."
For some reason, Li Shu's face suddenly turned red.
