I am Li Zhi

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

"Let's go." After untying Tuya, Li Zhi stood up and said.

He didn't continue to stay, and rushed to the direction of the return journey overnight.

When the sky was bright, everyone had already climbed down from the cliff. Li Zhi thought for a while and walked in the direction of the Datang barracks. Li Gongxiao must have gone back by this time.

"Follow me? Do you really want to travel to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Zhi walked to the gate of the barracks and saw that Tuya was still following him, and said with a smile.

"Will you let me go?" Tuya said in surprise.

"Of course, it's useless to keep you after the overall situation is settled." Li Zhi nodded and said as a matter of course.

"Thank you, can you promise me something?" Tuya was about to leave, but stopped when she remembered something and asked.

"Could it be that they don't attack the Turks?" Li Zhi asked speechlessly.

"No, I will persuade my father to surrender, and I hope you will let your generals wait for a few days before advancing." Tuya knew that it was impossible without paying a price, so she said.

"Okay, fifteen days is enough for you to return to the Turkic Palace and send envoys over." Li Zhi nodded and said.

"Thank you." Tuya turned and left after thanking her.

"Wait." Li Zhi grabbed Tuya and said to the people around him, "Get a horse for Tuya."

When the soldiers brought the horse, Tuya gave Li Zhi a complicated look, then got on the horse and left.

Seeing Tuya walking away, Li Zhi turned and entered the barracks and walked towards the main tent.

"Haha, Your Highness has a great plan. This time our army will be able to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop. When I return to the court after victory, I will definitely report to the emperor one by one to ask for credit for Your Highness." Li Gongxiao came back from breaking the Turkic barracks. I couldn't hold it back, and laughed even more when I saw Li Zhi came back.

"Where, I'm just helping out a little, and the main thing is to rely on the general's ability to lead the army." Li Zhi waved his hands and said with a smile.

"Without His Highness's strategy, no matter how capable I am, I will not be able to break into the Turkic camp." Li Gongxiao shook his head and said.

"Hehe, by the way, this time I captured a Turkic princess on the way. Before she left, she said that she would persuade her father to surrender. I promised her to give her fifteen days on my own initiative. The general will be more lenient." Li Zhi thought of Tuya Said to Li Gongxiao about it.

"It's all right, the main force of the Turks is gone, and they won't be able to recover in fifteen days. If they surrender without a fight, our army's casualties will be avoided." Li Gongxiao said indifferently after hearing this.

"Then I'll go back to rest first. I haven't slept well for a few days." Li Zhi nodded and yawned.

"Okay, Your Highness has worked hard these days, let's take a quick rest." Li Gongxiao said after clasping his fists.

As soon as Li Zhi went to the main tent, he saw Xiao Jiang poking his head outside the tent.

"What are you doing sneakily?" Li Zhi patted the other person on the back of the head and asked.

"Hey, I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin is back and is in the main tent, so I'll come over and have a look." Xiao Jiang rubbed his head and said.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhi asked helplessly seeing Xiao Jiang's worry written on his face.

"Your Highness, my...do I count as meritorious service this time?" Xiao Jiang asked obliquely.

"You boy, don't worry, when the Turkic incident is over, I will definitely ask the general for your reward." Li Zhi shook his head amusedly.

"Hey, then go down and rest, Your Highness." Xiao Jiang left with a smirk after speaking.

Li Zhi fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes when he returned to the tent.

Chapter 14

The envoys came earlier than expected. On the tenth day, there were envoys. It seemed that Tuya rushed back to keep Turks.

However, Li Zhi did not participate in the whole negotiation process. After all, it was Li Shimin's decision in the end, and it was useless for her to participate.

But on the day the imperial decree arrived, she regretted it very much. She could understand the annual tribute and so on. She was afraid that Princess Tuya would get married, and the target of the marriage would be her. What the hell? No wonder Li Gongxiao smiled every time she saw her. Turks are happy.

The most incomprehensible thing for Li Zhi is what did the Turkic king think? Li Shimin had so many concubine sons who were not married, so he asked his daughter to marry her as a concubine?

At the last return to court, Tuya also walked together in the red sedan chair.

"General, do you still remember the soldier who sent the letter to you? His name is Xiao Jiang. It is very rare to have courage and insight at a young age. When he returns to the court, the general will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds." Li Zhi thought of Xiao Jiang, and said to him Li Gongxiao who was also riding beside him said.

"It seems that the person who can make His Highness personally ask for rewards for him is not easy." Li Gongxiao nodded and said with a smile after listening.

"That's not true. I just promised him that he would be rewarded for his merits during the chat. I didn't expect him to think about it. If he had a chance, he would ask me when to mention it to the general." Li Zhi remembered that he had been ink-stained by Xiaojiang for more than 20 days. Once, said helplessly.

"Haha, of course, Your Highness is distinguished. If I got His Highness's promise when I was young, I would definitely do my best to ask His Highness for reward." Li Gongxiao understood Xiao Jiang's psychology very well.

Is that so? It seems that you have to be more careful when you speak in the future. You can’t say whatever you want, Li Zhi complained in his heart.

========================

When Li Zhi returned to the imperial city again, the expressions of the people on the street were completely different from those when she went out to fight, with expectations and joy.

And she is also happy in her heart, she will soon be able to see Empress Changsun, and what she misses the most in the past six months is her mother, and Li Zhi has never been entangled in anything. She has never enjoyed maternal love, but now she is Li Zhi no matter what she was before, isn't she?

"Your Highness, you are back. The Empress's illness has not recovered. I was afraid that you would be distracted and did not tell you. I was very happy to hear that His Highness returned to the Empress. Who knows that her condition suddenly took a turn for the worse. If it wasn't for waiting for you to come back, the Empress would be afraid." It's been a long time..." Rong Momo couldn't continue at this point.

When Empress Changsun was not married, Nanny Rong was the other party's personal servant girl. After so many years, the two of them were more like friends than master and servant. She felt most uncomfortable when the other party left her first.

Hearing this, Li Zhi ran quickly to Empress Changsun's bedroom. How could this happen? Isn't it still all right in the letter?

"...mother queen!" Seeing Empress Changsun's silvery temples and much older face, lying on the bed dying, Li Zhi knelt down beside Empress Changsun's bed with tears streaming down her face and held her hand and shouted.

"Pheasant...cough...the empress mother promised you to welcome you back in good health. Although she has broken her promise, she will be relieved when you come back safely." Empress Changsun looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile.

"Mother...it's okay, you'll be fine." Li Zhi didn't want to accept the fact that Empress Changsun was about to leave.

"My own body, I know, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time, but that's okay, I'm a little tired from being ill for a long time." Empress Changsun shook her head and said.

Li Zhi cried even more violently when she heard the words. She always thought that Empress Changsun had already recovered, but she didn't expect that the other party only reported good news but not bad news.

"Don't be sad, pheasant. After the mother leaves, you have to rely on yourself for everything. The pheasant has grown up, and the queen mother is very relieved of you." Empress Changsun said while stroking Li Zhi's head.

"No, I still don't understand anything. Mother, please don't leave me, okay? Teach my children more, okay?" Li Zhi shook his head and asked expectantly.

"Heh, don't be sad, the pheasant, the queen mother is relieved." The empress Changsun said with dilated pupils and closed her eyes.

"Mother's queen!? Mother's queen!? The imperial physician, where is the imperial physician?" Seeing that he could not wake up the eldest grandson empress, Li Zhi stood up and yelled for the imperial physician.

Seeing this, the imperial physician immediately ran over, took his pulse, knelt down and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the condolences to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, the Empress, she..."

In the past half a year in the army, Li Zhi has become more bloody. Hearing the imperial physician say this, he kicked the opponent down and shouted: "Trash! Call another imperial physician!!"
