Five days later, Li Ruoshuang returned from Wannian County with the Detachment of Women.
Twenty people were left to guard there.
"Zhao Chen, the soldier training method you gave me is really miraculous. In just seven days, the physical fitness of the soldiers has been significantly improved!"
"The techniques of survival, camouflage, and investigation in the wild are completely different from before."
"Without your help, if I had to figure it out on my own, I probably would never be able to figure out how to train soldiers like this in my life!"
As soon as Li Ruoshuang walked into the tavern, she said to Zhao Chen excitedly.
Several diners who were eating next to him looked over in surprise.
Zhao Chen cast an apologetic look at the diners and pulled Li Ruoshuang towards the backyard.
"Zhao Chen, I'm so excited!" A trace of apology flashed across Li Ruoshuang's face, but her eyes were still full of excitement.
Originally, Li Ruoshuang just wanted to defeat the Tibetan mission.
Now that Zhao Chen had given him the method of training troops, Li Ruoshuang's confidence had greatly increased, and he felt that he would have no problem pushing the Tibetan mission.
"It's okay, let's have some lunch together!" Zhao Chen sat down in the yard and pointed to the table in front of him.
"I happen to be hungry too, so I won't be polite!" Li Ruoshuang was not polite at all, nor was she shy like other women.
Sitting directly opposite Zhao Chen, he picked up the chopsticks and started using them!
Zhao Chen just smiled slightly, but he also admired Li Ruoshuang's bold character.
"By the way, Zhao Chen, I have one more thing to ask you!" Li Ruoshuang took a few bites and seemed to think of something.
"Yeah!" Zhao Chen responded and put down his chopsticks.
"Although I am sure of defeating the Tibetan mission, I still have to have a chance to play, right?"
"How could the imperial envoy responsible for receiving the Tibetan envoys ask me to lead the female soldiers to fight against the Tibetan envoys?"
"If he loses, he will have his head chopped off."
"Zhao Chen, we didn't seem to have thought about this at the beginning. Do you think our Detachment of Women has no chance of getting ahead?" Li Ruoshuang said slowly, feeling a little depressed.
Li Ruoshuang was thinking that she had ignored this matter from the beginning.
The official envoy of the imperial court has always had the final say in the reception of the Tibetan envoys.
His Majesty the Emperor will not care about this matter at all.
Even if the emperor finds out, what will happen?
No one dared to try to let a group of female soldiers participate in a martial arts performance with the Tibetan envoys.
If you win, naturally everyone will be happy.
As long as we lose, the trouble will be huge!
"I've thought of it for you a long time ago. You don't have to worry about it. When the time comes, just bring someone over there. You will definitely be able to play!" Zhao Chen said to Li Ruoshuang with a smile.
"Ah?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Zhao Chen with strange love.
I don’t know why Zhao Chen is so sure.
"Zhao Chen, are you sure?" Li Ruoshuang still felt a little worried and asked.
"Well, let's eat. The Tibetan delegation will arrive tomorrow. You will understand then!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
…
In the ninth year of Zhenguan, August 25th.
After the Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan met with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he left the Tai Chi Hall angrily.
The members of the accompanying Tibetan delegation also had gloomy expressions.
Li Shimin had just asked them to find the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who was responsible for receiving them.
Aren't the envoys of the Tang Dynasty usually here to greet them?
Why do you have to find it yourself this time?
Lu Dongzan deeply believed that it was the Emperor of Tang Dynasty who despised his country of Tubo, and that was why he made such a decision to humiliate them.
Ludongzan was very angry and even decided to persuade Zampo Songtsen Gampo to launch an attack on the Central Plains after he returned.
Let these ignorant Central Plains people know what a wrong decision it was to offend them.
The members of the Tibetan delegation continued to walk forward, and soon they saw a group of people waiting in front of them.
The eunuch and Lu Dongzan who were responsible for leading the way said that they were in front of a delegation from the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty that was responsible for receiving them.
Then he turned around and left.
Lu Dongzan frowned and walked forward with an unhappy face.
…
"Brother, it's okay. You've risen very quickly. You've climbed to the rank of sergeant in no time."
"Hey, you are a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, on the same level as the ministers of various ministries!"
"Hehe, my brother is so smart that he can easily take away the lanterns that no one has taken away for eight years. What does a little envoy mean?"
"Brother, you will need to take more care of me and Lao Cheng from now on!"
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu put their hands on one of Zhao Chen's shoulders and played with him.
The official from the Ministry of Rites next to him turned dark when he saw the three of them holding each other's backs without any proper etiquette.
I tried my best to tell myself not to be angry, but my teeth were almost broken!
"Your Majesty, we represent the inner court. Your Majesty, please don't let foreigners look down upon you if you are so disrespectful!" Fang Yiai said quietly from the side.
He followed the prince's order and came to trouble Zhao Chen.
However, Zhao Chen obviously didn't want to deal with Fang Yiai.
The reason why he agreed to Lao Li Tou to be the official receptionist of the court this time was entirely because he wanted to help Li Ruoshuang.
As for the future, Zhao Chen didn't want to care at all.
After all, he still didn't like the intrigue in the court.
With such thoughts, wouldn't it be good for him to raise chickens and ducks at home?
"Xiao Qin, go and bring my Xiao Hong over. Did someone speak horse language just now? I don't understand it either. Xiao Hong should be able to understand it!" Zhao Chen said to Qin Huaiyu next to him.
"Okay, I'm asking you to wait a moment, so I'll go right now!" Qin Huaiyu responded, glanced at Fang Yiai jokingly, and ran to the side with a smile.
The officials from the Ministry of Etiquette accompanying him shook their heads secretly when they saw Zhao Chen mocking Fang Yiai, the deputy envoy.
They are all human beings, and they know that the chief and deputy envoys are in trouble.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Hong is here." Qin Huaiyu led the horse over and said to Zhao Chen.
"Deputy Fang, could you please say what you just said again so that my little girl can listen to it?" Zhao Chen looked at Fang Yiai with a smile and said.
Cheng Chumo had told Zhao Chen before that Fang Yiai was from the East Palace faction.
Zhao Chen immediately thought of Du He who came to arrest him a few days ago, and immediately classified Fang Yiai as an enemy in his heart!
Fang Yiai's face turned red and she clenched her teeth, but she didn't make a sound.
But Zhao Chen didn't want to let him go so easily, and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Fang, I see that you don't have much to do, so how about helping me feed Xiaohong, which is considered a great achievement on your part?"
"
"Zhao Chen, you!" Fang Yiai was angry at that time.
His dignified deputy envoy, Fang Xuanling's son, actually wanted to feed horses to Zhao Chen who appeared out of nowhere?
This is simply unreasonable!
The officials from the Ministry of Etiquette nearby were also stunned.
He secretly thought that Zhao Chen was too courageous. He was not just cleaning up Yiai, he was even cleaning up the prince behind him!
Is this good enough?
"Deputy Ambassador Fang, I am the envoy today. Whatever I ask you to do, you'd better do it obediently, otherwise..." Zhao Chen smiled warmly, as if he was just saying something ordinary!
Next to them, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu stepped out appropriately and acted as Zhao Chen's lackeys.
The two of them came over with fists clenched and evil smiles on their faces.??
