Chapter 217: You're done
This trip to the frontier is worth this trip.
At least for Qin Shaoyou, he finalized the final details and then put his mind on marriage.
This is not because he is really careless as an imperial envoy. In fact, the marriage itself does not have much practical significance. It is just a procedure. As long as the Turks are willing to take care of themselves, they must not insult His Royal Highness the Princess. As for the extravagant method, there is actually no boundary. The Turks are poor.
This scenery outside the border may be a good place for future travelers, which can purify their minds, but Qin Shaoyou cannot raise any interest in this era. When the time is almost the same, he plans to set off and return.
Qin Shaoyou asked them to choose the more than 300 Turkic warriors he brought. Those who were willing to stay here would stay, and those who were willing to go back to Luoyang would go back together.
To Qin Shaoyou's surprise, 90% of those who were willing to go to Luoyang were actually willing to do so.
What a love for my hometown, I really go wherever I live.
Compared to this, for most samurai, they don’t have to worry about food and drink every day in the Tuanjie Camp, but they only work harder. But then again, here isn’t it too tired to work hard every day, and they don’t have enough food to eat and drink enough. A group of foodies raised in the Tuanjie Camp are afraid that if you drive them back, they will no longer be able to stand the days of the grassland.
This is not the case with people, so Qin Shaoyou's ancestors said that water flows to the lower places and people walk to the higher places.
Qin Shaoyou wanted to set off, so he naturally had to see the princess again.
Although the eldest princess got married, her husband was still young and still lived alone in a tent. The palace maids and eunuchs brought her to take care of her. When she saw Qin Shaoyou, she hurriedly handed the child in her arms to the palace maids beside her. Compared to a month ago, she was much more radiant. She stood up with a smile and said, "Hello, Qin Duwei."
Qin Shaoyou also owed the eldest princess with a smile: "Hello, Your Highness."
The eldest princess stroked the hair on her forehead and said, "I heard that Captain Qin is leaving?"
Qin Shaoyou sighed and said, "All the banquets in the world are the imperial envoys after all. After all, the emperor is an imperial envoy. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. There must be a day to reply to the emperor's order. Your Highness has become much better, so the emperor is relieved. But I don't know that the emperor is relieved to see Your Highness like this. In fact, although this place is not as rich as Luoyang, as Your Highness said, it is much more comfortable. Didn't Your Highness say that you have a letter to send it to the emperor?"
The eldest princess took out a letter from a long box and handed it to Qin Shaoyou solemnly. She said, "It's a blessing for Qin Duwei. But... can Qin Duwei promise me something?"
Qin Shaoyou said: "Please tell me your superiors."
The eldest princess said, "The Princess Wei of Luling has always been strong and aggressive. This letter is better for Qin Duwei to find an opportunity to submit it to him personally, otherwise..."
The arrogant aura of the Princess Luling is a well-known thing. How could Qin Shaoyou not know? He smiled and there were many clues. It could be seen that some princesses and King Luling were in the eyes of him. However, these things had nothing to do with him. He was nothing more than being entrusted by others. Therefore, he did not think deeply and said, "When I read this letter, there was only King Luling, and the officials dared to take their lives as a guarantee."
The eldest princess looked at him even more gratefully: "Then... I'll give you everything."
Qin Shaoyou carefully kept the letter and then said goodbye.

Gu Dulu showed great enthusiasm for Qin Shaoyou's return to Beijing. He personally held a banquet with the leaders of various departments to see Qin Shaoyou off. The banquets of the Turks were not good at all. There were always those things that made people unable to make people excited. The most abominable thing was sent by himself. The father-in-law borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, but his face did not change. Qin Shaoyou had a new understanding of his thick skin.
A few days later, the vast team set off, heading south, and there were escorts from various troops along the way. In this vast grassland, there were only a few heavens and earth, all in the vast land. I don’t know how many days I walked, and finally approached the barrier.
But Qin Shaoyou deliberately circled around and stayed in Wolf Fort.
The matter of this wolf castle has been agreed upon. The Turks have begun to recruit slaves and prepare to repair the place and expand the scale. At the same time, in a few months, there will be a Turkic elite troops stationed here to protect the safety of the place.
When he arrived here, Qin Shaoyou finally felt relieved because the situation here was not bad and the popularity was not bad. Many merchants stayed here, mostly selling some "guns", just iron pots, salt, etc. The Turks from various tribes would buy some things here. The fortress also covers a considerable area. It must have been the Chanyu Protectorate at that time, which used it as an important transit station to maintain the rule of the Chanyu Protectorate.
But who would have thought that Khan's ambition that day could not resist the power struggle within the dynasty. The rays of light that the Tang Dynasty finally shone quickly after Emperor Taizong's death were only a few sighs and the broken walls under this "magnificent blueprint".
Qin Shaoyou did not sigh too much. The Shanyu Protectorate was gone, but life still had to be lived. The scale here exceeded his expectations. This was completely the size of a prefecture city. It not only had a military zone, but also had a special living area and commercial area. It even used low walls to build the building of the yard according to the city of Senei. Nearby, there were rivers passing by, ensuring that a large number of people can use water for their daily life. The person who managed this place was a Turkic official. This person was very attentive to Qin Shaoyou and took Qin Shaoyou around.
After a few rounds, he said reluctantly: "The Khan ordered me to make a deposit with Qin Qin at any time. When the Qin Qin envoy appointed someone to come, I would go back to the tent. Speaking of which, I was a little reluctant. We Turks only knew how to put on horses, but we knew nothing about this business. I believe that this place would be much better after being under the jurisdiction of Qin Qin envoy. Although the Qin envoy was a southerner, he was the son-in-law of the Khan. Speaking of which, he was also his own family. The Turks here were convinced of the Qin envoy, but they had their own orders, even if they were given the order."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said, "I'm working hard."
He loved this city quite much. Although the population is small now and most of them are merchants, they come and go, but there are only hundreds or thousands of people, coming and going, and they are also dying, but in the future... it is hard to say.
Half a month later, Qin Shaoyou finally arrived in Changping. It was originally believed that he should not stay here, but he owed a favor to Heiqi Chang, so he had to visit him.
Heichi Changzhi learned that Qin Shaoyou was coming, so he didn't want to be troubled, but since Qin Shaoyou was visiting him, he had to see him.
Now these two important officials of the court who had a tacit understanding were staring at the General's Mansion in Changping.
Finally, Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and said, "General Black Tooth, thank you for your help."
Black-toothed Changzhi had a dark face and a ridiculous beard under his jaw. If he didn't look closely, he would be a very ordinary old man. He shook his head: "You and I work together for the sake of national peace, why do you have to thank me? Qin Duwei, but he didn't know what happened to the Turkic side?"
Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment and said, "There are many good fortunes in the Turks. I am afraid that I will not violate it again if I have received the favor of marrying the whole world."
"Is that true?" Hei-Teen Changzhi nodded with a smile, as if he was not optimistic about this, but he did not refute Qin Shaoyou, and just said, "That's good."
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and said, "There is one thing that must be mentioned. In order to communicate with the lower officials, the Turkic Khan was willing to offer Wolf Bastion to teach the lower officials to communicate with her. This transaction was originally agreed by the emperor, but it was quite in line with the rules. So after a few months, the lower officials would ask someone to manage the business there. General Black-toothed to be in charge of the frontier. Can the lower officials provide some care and convenience? If so, the lower officials will be even more grateful."
Heichi Changzhi hesitated for a moment: "You must report this to the saint. As long as the saint agrees, this general will follow the action."
Qin Shaoyou laughed: "That's great."
Seeing that Heichi Changzhi was not lukewarm to him, Qin Shaoyou was not willing to make any boring things, so he said goodbye.
However, the conversation between the two was heard by Chen Zhen, the inner historian in the ear. He chewed the meaning of Qin Shaoyou's words carefully, thinking about it, and finally hesitated in his face. As the inner historian of the black-toothed Changzhi, he had already felt the dilemma faced by the ignorant Duke of Yan. He covered Qin Shaoyou and mobilized the army and horses. This made him a supporter of the Li family, but he would arouse the suspicion of the Li family. As a supporter of the Li family, his Majesty and the Wu family deepened their suspicion of him. This situation was extremely dangerous.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhen gritted his teeth and wrote a letter in his own hand. After blowing the ink marks, he went to find the seal of Duke Yan, dipped it in red mud, and covered it on the letter...
After Chen Zhen finished all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
