"Gao Yang is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, how can you just arrest her like that and lock her up in the same courtyard as a dog..."

“Zhang Wengrong, actually I didn’t intend to treat her like this. It’s just that she was too arrogant. Not only did she threaten to kill me, but she also threatened to slaughter the entire Sanglin Village.”

"I intervened to stop Gao Yang in order to prevent her from causing a major disaster."

"Although the methods were a bit crude, I did all this for the sake of the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty and the dignity of the court!"

"If Gao Yang were to truly slaughter Sanglin Manor, how would the people of the world view the imperial family and the court?"

Zhang Anan was overjoyed to hear this.

"So clever!"

"Remember that, no matter who asks you, just say it, hahaha!"

"Mmm!"

"To be honest, this wasn't my idea; it was my subordinate, Shan Daozhen, who came up with it, hehehe..."

"Shan Daozhen... he's a talented man, but he has a bad temper and is prone to causing trouble. You'll have to be careful when you're managing him, lest he get into any trouble for you!"

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Zhang!"

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, is this a minor matter?"

"If it gets too big, neither you nor Mr. Li can handle it, so I'll run away as soon as possible!"

Zhang Anan frowned slightly upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Where are you running to?

Li Jue replied without any concern.

"I can go to Gaochang, Dunhuang, or even the Turkic Khaganate if all else fails!"

"With my abilities, I could easily get a position anywhere, so why should I suffer indignities in the Tang Dynasty!"

"this……"

Zhang Anan hesitated slightly before issuing a warning.

"You mustn't say that in front of your grandfather. If he hears you, he'll definitely spank you!"

"cut!"

"I'm not afraid of him at all. If it weren't for the fact that he's been relatively kind to me, I would have run away long ago..."

Zhang Anan smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.

"I have already sent Gaoyang back, so you don't need to worry about this matter. The imperial laws will take care of her and will not allow her to cause any trouble!"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Grandpa Zhang!"

Zhang Anan gave Li Jue a few more instructions before leading his guards back to report. However, as he passed the village entrance, he saw several people dressed in Turkic clothing, which startled him.

Could what the eldest grandson said be true? Is he really going to run off to the Turks?

"parking!"

"Ask those Turks what they're doing!"

Before long, the guards returned.

"General Zhang, according to these Turks, they have come on the orders of the Khan to invite a man named Shi Dakai to serve as an official in the Turkic Khaganate!"

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anan panicked and immediately ordered his men to quickly drive the carriage back to Chang'an.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The eldest grandson of the legitimate wife is going to run off to the Turks to become an official!"
