Chapter 347 Qian Yue Returns
Pula stood up and perfunctorily bowed, saying, "Lord Lu, what's the point of just eating? In our Tatars, even eating requires competition. Only the bravest warriors deserve to eat the best meat." He looked at Lu Chenyang provocatively and said, "I've heard that Lord Lu is a great martial artist. I'd like to challenge him today. I wonder if you dare to accept the challenge?"
Lu Chenyang remained calm and said, "We Han Chinese have a saying: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We don't have such a custom in Dagan." He glanced at Pula with a half-smile, "I know the Tatars are known for their belligerence, but we are sitting here today to negotiate and maintain peace. It is not appropriate to start a war. What do you think, General Pula?"
Pula was about to say something when Muta glanced at him. Pula then said in a muffled voice, "Master Lu is right. I was not thoughtful enough."
Lu Chenyang took note of their expressions. It seemed that Muta was indeed capable and could make Pula bow his head with just a look.
The dinner that followed went smoothly without any incidents or trouble.
The dinner ended quickly, before the hour of Xu.
Of course, the dinner ended so quickly not because of the harmonious atmosphere, but mainly because the food prepared by Lu Chenyang was really not that delicious.
Although there was meat, most of the food was vegetarian. Even the staple food was steamed buns made of mixed flour. Lu Chenyang was reluctant to prepare even a white flour bun for them.
Lu Chenyang was crazy, feeding them such good food.
So the party ended quickly.
The Tatar delegation and the Dagan delegation also returned to their respective post stations.
Wei Guang got off the carriage with the help of the servant, and then he heard hurried footsteps coming from the street next door.
Wei Guang couldn't help but turn around and look, but of course he saw nothing. He asked the guard at the gate, "It's so late in the city, why are there still people rushing through the city? Is there any military intelligence?"
The guard listened carefully and said, "Master Lu has gone out."
Because of the arrival of the Tatar delegation, Lu Chenyang's guards were even tighter, and all of them were on horseback. As soon as the guards heard the sound of horse hooves, they knew that the person who had sent so many people out so late must be Lord Lu.
The guards were not afraid of revealing Lu Chenyang's whereabouts. Lu Chenyang was traveling on horseback in such a high-profile manner that they would find out tomorrow morning.
Wei Guang frowned. It was so late, what was Lu Chenyang going to do?
Lu Chenyang went to meet Qian Yue and his group.
It had been over a year since they had parted ways, and Lu Chenyang was truly concerned about Qian Yue. Qian Yue had penetrated deep into the Tatar interior, and was in great danger. If his identity were exposed, Lu Chenyang wouldn't even have a chance to save him.
Moreover, Qian Yue made an indispensable contribution to the successful conquest of Tatar this time, so even though it was late, Lu Chenyang still went out of the city to welcome him in person.
At this time, only Lu Chenyang's order can open the city gate.
The guard didn't expect Lu Chenyang to come in person, and he was very excited for a moment.
Tan Feng shouted, "Open the city gate quickly!"
The guards opened the city gate without hesitation.
Qian Yue had already gotten off the carriage outside the city and was waiting on the side. Lu Chenyang got off the horse and strode towards him.
Qian Yue took the lead and knelt down in front of Lu Chenyang: "I have fulfilled my mission and lived up to your trust." His voice was full of excitement.
Lu Chenyang actually did it! Not only did he recapture Yanhui Pass, he also fought to the Tatars' doorstep, annihilating their main force and forcing them to propose peace talks for the first time in over two hundred years.
Lu Chenyang had once again created an unprecedented event! And he had contributed to it, so how could he not be excited?
Lu Chenyang held his arms with both hands and said repeatedly, "Mr. Qian, please stand up quickly." His eyes were slightly red. "Mr. Qian should be credited with the primary contribution to the successful capture of the Tatars this time!"
Qian Yue quickly said, "Sir, I dare not take credit for anything. So many soldiers bravely fought and died on the battlefield. They are the ones who deserve the greatest credit!"
After the two exchanged greetings, Qian Yue followed Lu Chenyang into the city.
Qian Yue came in a carriage, and Lu Chenyang personally rode a horse to protect his carriage. Qian Yue was so moved that he burst into tears and wished he could repay him with his life.
The convoy returned to the general's mansion in a mighty procession.
Qian Yue was also very concerned about the peace talks. He didn't even have time to rest and followed Lu Chenyang to the study to discuss matters.
When Qian Yue heard that the Crown Prince had also sent someone, he couldn't help but curl his lips. "You want to come pick peaches now?" Was the Crown Prince a little too naive? How could Lu Chenyang let him have his wish?
