Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 24 Yuchi Jingde’s worries, the King of Qin’s worries!

The Roman soldier was taken away by the diner.

They went to the imperial city together.

After they left, there was a lot of discussion in the inn.

"That Westerner doesn't look fake. Is there really any other country that dares to declare war on us?"

"Hahaha! He comes from the West, so he might not know much about our Tang Dynasty. But if he does, he will know who would dare to invade the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of our Majesty?"

"Yes! Heavenly Khan, what an honor this is! Which of the former enemies of our Tang Dynasty, the Turkic, Goguryeo and other countries, dares to be an enemy of our Tang Dynasty?"

"Very good, very good. So even if that country mentioned by the Westerners comes and attacks our Tang Dynasty, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty will make sure that his army will never return!"

"That's right! But... the name Li Chengdao sounds familiar to me. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

"Whether it's Li Chengdao, Li Wangdao, or anyone else, once they come to our Tang Dynasty, they have to behave themselves!"

"...."

The diners didn't care.

Today's Tang Dynasty is visited by all nations.

Heavenly Khan Li Shimin made everyone proud.

Which country dares to invade the Tang Dynasty?
The Tang Dynasty is no longer the weak period it was ten years ago, but is now at its most prosperous moment!

They have a firm belief in the Tang Dynasty, enough to defeat all enemies.

….….…….….….….
Ministry of War.

today.

A rough-faced man came here.

He was of extremely large build, and his armor shone brightly in the sun.

He is not from the Ministry of War.

But in the entire Ministry of War, anyone who passed by him had to salute him.

This is respect and also awe.

The rough-faced man in front of him had participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident ten years ago, and shot and killed Prince of Qi Li Yuanji during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

After this,

He even led 5,000 cavalrymen to hunt down the remaining troops of the Eastern Palace all night long. After a whole month of pursuit, he almost forced the remaining troops of the Eastern Palace into a dead end.

Not only was he escaping from the incomplete Eastern Palace, but in the initial days, he was also filled with psychological trauma from this rough-faced man.

That's right!

He is one of the seven generals under the command of the King of Qin, a man who can lead an army alone, one of the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion, and the Duke of E, Yuchi Jingde!

now.

Yuchi Jingde walked to the Ministry of War and soon came to a room. He asked the official inside, "No letter from Wangshiwan yet?"

His brows were furrowed tightly.

Yuchi Jingde was very concerned about the safety news from Wangshiwan, because although he had forced Li Chengdao into a desperate situation, he did not kill Li Chengdao and allowed Li Chengdao to escape.

During the pursuit, Yuchi Jingde and Li Chengdao met several times.

Li Chengdao's calm but hateful eyes, and his subordinates' ardent following and fearlessness of death.

Yuchi Jingde was deeply shocked.

This made him dare not relax over the years, and at the beginning of every month he had to come to the Ministry of War in person to get a letter of safety.

He will feel relieved only when he sees the handwritten letter from his former deputy general Wang Tongling on the letter of peace.

This month's peace letter,

Normally, he should have arrived at the Ministry of War three days ago, but he didn't.

Since then,

Yuchi Jingde came to the Ministry of War every day to ask whether the letter of safety had arrived.

"General Yuchi, there is none today either."

The official in charge sighed, and then said, "General Yuchi, why don't you come here specially tomorrow?"

"When there's a letter, I'll send it to your old house." Yuchi Jingde shook his head: "No, I won't be at peace for a day until I see that letter."

The official rubbed his head in pain and said, "General Yuchi, the guy from that year has been missing for ten years. You...you still believe that he will come back."

"I don't think he will come back. It's been ten years. Ten whole years. There is no news about him at all."

"That person who crossed the sea back then, no one knows what is on the other side of the sea. Perhaps he and his followers have been buried in the sea."

"Even if he didn't die in the sea, our Tang Dynasty is so powerful now. What kind of threat can he and his followers pose?"

"Our Majesty is more powerful than the King of Qin ten years ago. If war comes, we can mobilize the military forces of our vassal states. Our military strength is at least 20 times stronger than it was ten years ago."

"So what if he comes back? He was just a child ten years ago, and he will be a teenager at best ten years later. What can a teenager do?"

This official also participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and for the past ten years, he was responsible for delivering letters to Yuchi Jingde, so he was very clear about Yuchi Jingde's obsession.

In his opinion,

General Yuchi Jingde is worrying over nothing.

Ten years, exactly ten years.

It's time to stop the obsession.

"I'll come back tomorrow."

Yuchi Jingde was not convinced by these remarks. He casually said that he would come back another day and then got up and left.

That unwavering look made the officials of the Ministry of War feel helpless.

In fact, what I just said,
Not only officials from the Ministry of War came to persuade him, but over the years, his good friends Cheng Yaojin, Chai Shao, and even the military god Li Jing had also advised him to let go of his obsession.

Except for the King of Qin, almost everyone was persuading him.

But Yuchi Jingde didn't listen.

Every time he heard those people's advice, the face of the child ten years ago would appear in front of Yuchi Jingde's eyes.

He remembered that face, full of hatred and yet calm, for ten years.

Maybe I will remember it for the rest of my life.

"Did something happen over at Wangshi Bay?"

As Yuchi Jingde walked, he frowned slightly and said, "If there is no news in the next three days, I will have to ask His Majesty to send troops to Jiangdong."

Yuchi Jingde had an idea in his mind.

And he believed that His Majesty would definitely agree at that time.

Friends, military officials, family members, almost everyone thought that he, Yuchi Jingde, would never dare to ignore the child.

In fact, Yuchi Jingde knew in his heart that the person he was most afraid of ignoring was not the King of Qin!

Every time Ping An received a letter, the King of Qin's personal guards would come to tell him that they had read it and gave it to the King of Qin.

King Qin...
King of Qin, King of Qin.

He cared more about the child's news than anyone else.

Even though the King of Qin is now the true master of the Tang Dynasty and the "Heavenly Khan" that all nations pay homage to, he will always remember that child.

This also made Yuchi Jingde feel regretful. If he had tried harder and rushed all night, he could have killed the child.

If only the child were dead.

Without a backbone, his followers will become a loose group.

As a result,
I will not be able to read like that child for ten years, and the same goes for the King of Qin.

"Why…."

Thinking of this, Yuchi Jingde couldn't help but sigh.

I regret my past self.

While he was lost in thought, Li Junxian, the personal guard of King Qin, walked over with a serious expression.

"General Yuchi, something happened."

"It's in Wangshiwan, Jiangdong. Please follow me to the Taiji Palace for a discussion. General Li and others are waiting for you."
