Chapter 397 Entering the City
The next morning, when the sky was just bright, Fang Jun woke up from his deep sleep. He glanced at the time and hurriedly got up and put on his clothes and armor.
Wu Meiniang wanted to get up and help Fang Jun change clothes and wash up, but Fang Jun pushed her back into bed and said with a smile: "You can't change clothes. How can any military general who goes on an expedition go to see His Majesty the Emperor all white and tender? This suit is just right. It can show that we are dedicated to serving the country!”
Wu Meiniang said angrily: "How dare you say that? After returning to the capital, the military generals who went on an expedition must first report to the Ministry of War, and then they can go home after receiving the order. You sneaked back last night. Aren't you afraid that your Majesty will convict you and slap you?"
She was very worried about this matter. I don’t know what kind of madness Lang Jun has committed. He knows that the imperial laws and regulations are like this, but he still knowingly violates them. Doesn’t this provide an excuse for those extremely boring censors?
As a result, I am afraid that the credit of the Western Expedition will have to be discounted...
Fang Jun chuckled: "Your husband's contribution in the Western Regions this time is too great. If you don't insult yourself and discount it, I'm afraid His Majesty doesn't know how to reward it. How can you still give it to a prince?" ”
"Seriously?" Women are always most concerned about fame, wealth, and money, not to mention Wu Meimei, who has the ambition not to let men down? After hearing this, my mind suddenly became excited. If I could really win the title of Duke, I would be so happy...
Seeing her nymphomaniac look, Fang Jun rolled his eyes and said: "How is it possible? Even if His Majesty is willing to give it, those imperial officials will try their best to stop it. From now on, there will be no more The title of Duke at the time of the founding of the country will continue to be awarded unless..."
"Unless what?" Wu Meiniang turned over and lay down on the bed, her raven hair spread out, making her skin as white as snow and her face as beautiful as snow.
"Create new territories and open up thousands of miles of land!"
Fang Jun said something, put on his armor, opened the door and walked out, leaving Wu Meiniang alone and feeling regretful. Bearing dangers and going through hardships, but not receiving rewards commensurate with the merits, I will never let my husband do such a dangerous job again...

When they came out of the room, Xi Junmai and other guards from the Shenji Battalion had already gathered at the entrance of the courtyard. When they saw Fang Jun coming out, Xi Junmai led the war horse and helped him jump on the horse's back. The group left Zhuangzi and walked along the road. Slowly go down the mountain road covered with thick snow.
Fang Jun looked up at the gradually brightening sky and the hazy Chang'an City in the distance. Fortunately, the snow had stopped. If it had happened another day, the snow disaster last winter would have happened again...
The group of people ran down the mountain road and reached the official road. The road conditions were much better. They gradually increased their horse speed, crossed the Ba Bridge, and walked around the city wall of Chang'an City to the Golden Light Gate in the west.
At this time, the city gate was already open, and there was an endless stream of people leaving the city in twos and threes, but most of the Shenji Camp had not yet arrived.
Seeing Fang Jun and others riding their horses from a distance, the soldiers guarding the city came forward enthusiastically and said with a smile: "I want the Marquis to know that I was guarding outside the Military Department last night. As soon as possible, the Military Department Yamen has just arrived." After unlocking the door, I will hand over the news that the Marquis has returned to Beijing. The Ministry of War is waiting for you to report it!”
Be a good person!
Fang Jun gave this soldier a thumbs up, and of course it couldn't just be a verbal compliment. Who in Chang'an city didn't know that Fang Erlang was very generous? He immediately took out two silver coins used to reward people from his arms and threw them to the soldier: "Well done, take them to drink!"
The soldier hurriedly picked up the silver lock and was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward!"
I almost felt so happy that everyone said that this second house was the most bastard playboy in Chang'an City. They were just bullshitting! The reason why he is a bastard is that for those high-ranking officials and nobles, just like soldiers and common men, they have never seen someone bully others!
I never show off my abilities in front of us ant-like commoners...
He sent two personal soldiers to greet the large army and ordered them to return to the station by Qujiang Pool as soon as possible after returning, rest and reorganize, and then go home.
He took the remaining soldiers and entered the city through the Golden Light Gate.
It was early in the morning, not many people were entering the city, but many were leaving the city. Several city gates in Chang'an are separated for entrance and exit, so there are long queues of cars and horses at the gate on the exit side of the city, but the entry side is sparse and deserted.
Fang Jun had just entered the large city gate. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw an acquaintance leaving the city through the city gate on one side...
Fang Jun immediately reined in his horse and stopped to watch.
But they saw Ashina Budai, the younger brother of the Turkic Khan, riding on a horse, wearing Hanfu, and driving out of the city gate under the protection of several attendants also dressed in Hanfu.
Fang Jun's first thought was that this guy escaped from prison and escaped!
However, when I saw Ashina Fudai taking out a red piece of money in front of the soldiers guarding the city and letting the soldiers inspect it, I knew that this guy was probably redeemed by his brother Khan with money, horses, etc...
Ashina Budai is riding a horse. Thinking about what he has experienced in the past few months, it is so humiliating for him, a man who calls himself a Turkic hero!
Did Brother Khan really care about his family ties and give up a large amount of property to redeem himself?
Bullshit!
He expected that because of his capture this time, he would lose all his prestige. From now on, he would never be able to gather as many candidates as before, and he could only survive under the wings of the Khan. At the same time, Yu Gushe can gain a good reputation as a person who values family ties and loyalty. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone!
And what about Datang? It’s just that I want to put myself back and become a nail that is holding me back...
They are all so insidious and cunning, every good thing!
Ashina Fudai thought angrily, the last pass is in front of him. As long as he leaves Chang'an City, he will spread his wings like an eagle and soar in the vast world. In this magnificent and prosperous city, he is a I don’t want to stay any longer!
Just as he was thinking about it, his years of living in the grasslands had made him extremely alert, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to be being watched by someone. His heart suddenly suddenly turned around, and he suddenly took a breath!
At the city gate on the other side, the black-faced boy was looking at himself with a devilish smile...
Ashina Fudai almost ran away!
This seemingly honest guy with a harmless smile is so cruel. Even Ashina Fudai, who never takes human life seriously, is horrified by Fang Jun's methods. His fear is like a tarsus. Bone maggots are generally unforgettable, so many midnight dreams have made me sweat through my clothes with fright!
Then, he saw this devilish bastard smiling at him and saying hello: "Hi!"
Ashina Budai trembled with fright, quickly turned his head, and urged the soldiers guarding the city: "Look quickly, someone is in a hurry!"
In desperation, he did not speak Chinese, but spoke Turkic dialect. How could the soldiers understand him? He raised his eyes and glared at Ashina Fudai, and said unhurriedly: "I haven't studied much, so I should read it slowly and word by word. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, who will take responsibility for it?" Can you afford it? Hey! This calligraphy doesn’t look like the handwriting of the Minister of War. Could it be that it’s a forgery?”
Mother! A Turkic barbarian has entered our territory of the Tang Dynasty and wants to leave just like that?
These barbarians are so stupid. I even mentioned this to you, but I still don’t understand what it means?
It’s really not eye-catching...
He said it was a lie, but Ashina Fudai was so frightened that he turned to look at a guard beside him with a pale face, and asked: "What's going on?"
The guard shook his head, with a helpless look on his face, and whispered: "This requires our filial piety..."
Ashina Fudai was in disbelief: "You Han people are too unruly. Isn't this asking for bribes?"
The guard rolled his eyes and said angrily: "It depends on the right person! You, the brother of the Turkic Khan, have a deep hatred for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with you asking for bribes? You If you don’t give it, this person will dare to keep you. Although he can’t do anything to you, he will at least waste most of your time!”
Ashina Fudai's biggest wish now is to get away from Chang'an quickly, because he found that the black-faced little devil had already urged the horse to come here...
Ashina broke into sweat without hesitation, and said quickly: "I don't have any money on me, so just give it to me. When I get out of the gate, I will definitely pay back ten times!"
He was so anxious that he almost cried. The dignified Zuoxiangcha of the Turkic Khanate, the Khan's brother, and the eagle on the grassland was actually blackmailed by a small soldier guarding the city gate. Not only was he unable to do anything, but he also had to Fearfully guarding against another demonic guy slowly approaching...(End of Chapter)
