Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time, Yunxi was anxious to rush to the border. She and Xiaowan rode on two reddish-brown horses, like a burning flame galloping across the land. Their eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if they were determined to break through all obstacles and rush to the border.

Yunxi's hair fluttered in the wind like a flag. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, but she didn't care. She had only one thought in her mind - to reach the border as soon as possible.

They spurred their horses, as if they were racing against time. Every step they took was full of strength and determination, as if the earth was cheering them on. The road was bumpy, but they were not afraid and kept moving forward.

Yunxi's heart was filled with worry and concern for Han Xuan and the border. She knew that the soldiers at the border were fighting bloody battles for the peace of the country, and she had to rush there as soon as possible to provide them with support and help.

On the way to the border, Yunxi worked tirelessly day and night. Her figure appeared particularly firm and brave in the sun, as if she was a fearless warrior fighting to protect her homeland.

After several days and nights of traveling, Yunxi and Xiaowan finally arrived at the border. However, the scene before them made them sad.

The city walls were badly damaged, the soldiers were exhausted, and wounded were everywhere. Yunxi didn't have time to rest and immediately started to treat the wounded.

She used her superb medical skills to try her best to save every life. With the efforts of Yunxi and Xiaowan, the morale of the soldiers gradually recovered, and they felt the support and care from the rear.

A tense atmosphere filled the tent. Han Xuan was lying on the bed, looking pale and wrapped in thick bandages. He was obviously seriously injured. He closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Zhaxi walked into the tent quietly, and her eyes first fell on Han Xuan, her eyes full of concern and worry. When she saw Yunxi taking good care of Han Xuan, she was moved.

Yunxi sat beside Han Xuan's bed, concentrating on his injuries. Her expression was serious and focused. She held a wet cloth in her hand and gently wiped the sweat off Han Xuan's forehead. Every movement seemed extremely cautious, as if she was afraid of waking Han Xuan up.

Zhaxi walked quietly to Yunxi and asked softly, "How is he?" Yunxi raised his head, glanced at Zhaxi, and then shook his head gently, "The injury is very serious, but he has taken medicine and needs to rest now."

Yunxi stared at Han Xuan, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. She gently reached out and stroked Han Xuan's cheek, feeling his warmth. Her voice was low and gentle: "He will definitely get better." Zhaxi nodded silently, and then stood quietly beside him.

The entire tent was silent, with only the faint sound of Han Xuan's breathing and Yunxi's occasional whispers. Zhaxi stood quietly by, silently praying in his heart that Han Xuan would recover soon.

The emperor entered the tent and saw Han Xuan lying on the bed, pale and weak. Yunxi and Zhaxi were taking good care of him. The emperor's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to the bedside, looking at him with concern.

Han Xuan opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he saw the emperor, he struggled to stand up and salute. The emperor quickly held him down and said softly, "No need to be polite. You are not feeling well, just take a good rest."

The emperor sat beside the bed and carefully asked about Han Xuan's condition and treatment. After that, he looked at Zhaxi curiously and asked, "Yunxi, who is the woman next to you..." Zhaxi had already returned to her girlish attire. Zhaxi's beauty was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and gentle. Her face was as delicate as a sculpture, and her eyes were like deep lakes, full of the mystery of an exotic beauty.

"Your Majesty, she is Princess Tashi of Goryeo. It was she... who went deep into the enemy's territory and rescued me." Han Xuan said weakly.

At this time, Goryeo had already established friendly relations with the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor nodded slightly, and he admired Zhaxi's bravery. The emperor told Han Xuan to take good care of himself, recover as soon as possible, and continue to serve the country.

When leaving the tent, the emperor was in a heavy mood. Han Xuan was his capable general, but now he was seriously injured. The Turks were always brave and good at fighting. The morale of the soldiers in the army was low because their commander was seriously injured. He really hoped that Han Xuan could recover as soon as possible, fight on the battlefield again, and make great contributions to the country.

After Yunxi settled Han Xuan, she came to the emperor's tent. The guard Shangguan Yu was guarding the entrance to the tent to protect the emperor's safety. After being informed, Yunxi entered the tent, with concern in her eyes. She bowed slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I see that you seem to be in a bad mood." The emperor raised his head and looked at Yunxi, and the sadness in his eyes did not dissipate. He sighed softly and said, "Yunxi, I am really worried about the war. Now the commander Han Xuan is seriously injured again, and I am very upset."

Yunxi stood quietly aside, watching the emperor. She could feel that the emperor's concern for Han Xuan was so sincere, and his eyes revealed his worry and concern for Han Xuan, as if Han Xuan was his closest person, which made Yunxi feel the emperor's benevolence.

When the emperor talked about the national war, his expression became serious and solemn. Yunxi could feel his deep love for the country and his sense of responsibility to the people from his words. The emperor's worried eyes looked across the tent, as if he saw the battlefield and the suffering people. His brows were furrowed and his lips trembled slightly, showing his inner anxiety and pain.

Yunxi was moved by the emperor's concern for the country and the people, and she couldn't help but admire him. At this moment, she understood the huge responsibility and pressure the emperor shouldered, and also saw his efforts and hard work for the country and the people.

The emperor's care and concern made Yunxi feel his greatness. A wave of emotion surged in her heart and her eyes gradually became moist.

Yunxi said with emotion: "Your Majesty, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of caring for the people of the world, and troubles are inevitable. But please believe that I, Han Xuan and the soldiers will always be by your side and face everything with you." The emperor looked at Yunxi with emotion and said: "Yunxi, I am very happy to have you by my side." Yunxi said gently: "Your Majesty, you don't have to bear the pressure alone. If you have any troubles, you might as well share them with me. Although I am not talented, I am willing to help your majesty solve your worries and difficulties."

The emperor nodded, with a smile on his face. He held Yunxi's hand and said, "Yunxi, you are right. I will remember your words and will not worry alone anymore." Yunxi looked up at the emperor, her eyes full of love. She knew that in this battlefield, the emperor needed not only power and status, but also sincere emotions, care and encouragement.

Yunxi decided to offer advice to the emperor. After thinking for a moment, she proposed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, we can send envoys to negotiate with the Turks and strive to resolve the dispute peacefully. At the same time, we can also strengthen border defense and improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers."

After hearing Yunxi's suggestion, the emperor thought it was feasible and nodded in agreement. However, he had a headache about who to send as a special envoy, because to be a special envoy to an enemy country requires both extraordinary wisdom and courage.

As night fell, the tent was brightly lit. The emperor sat in the center, his face solemn and his eyes revealing a hint of worry. On both sides of him sat the military generals, all of whom looked solemn and silent.

The emperor was the first to break the silence and said, "My dear ministers, the Turkic envoys have come to negotiate peace, but we must send a suitable person to negotiate with the Turks. This is related to the safety of the country and the well-being of the people, and we must not act rashly."

The generals were talking among themselves. An old general stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think it would be most appropriate to send a minister who is wise and eloquent. He needs to have enough wisdom and courage to not lose in the negotiations."

Another young general also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Turks for negotiations. Although I am young, I am loyal to my country and am willing to do my best for the peace of my country."

The emperor nodded slightly, thinking about the two people's suggestions. He glanced at everyone and asked, "Which of you has a better suggestion?"

At this time, another soldier stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should not only consider the candidate's wisdom and courage, but also his understanding of the Turks. If someone familiar with the Turkic culture and customs goes there, perhaps he can communicate with them better."

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed with enlightenment. He thought that this negotiation was of great importance and he had to choose carefully. He decided to carefully consider among the generals and civil officials and select the most suitable person to ensure the success of the negotiations and bring peace to the country and the people.

When the emperor was racking his brains over who to send to negotiate with the Turks, Yunxi came in.

She was wearing light armor and looked very heroic, a completely different person from before. She confidently recommended herself to the emperor and asked to represent the Tang Dynasty in the negotiations: "Your Majesty, I request your permission to represent the Tang Dynasty in the negotiations with the Turks."

Yunxi's words were earth-shattering. The emperor stared at her in disbelief for a long time, his eyes revealing a complicated expression. He slowly said, "Yunxi, this is not a joke. Although you and Han Xuan have experienced border wars, negotiations are very different from battlefields. You are still a woman, and... I don't want to let you take such a big risk."

Yunxi said, "Your Majesty, I once told you that I came from a different world. In that modern world, I once learned about the culture and customs of the Turkic people in history classes." In fact, Yunxi did not tell the emperor that she knew too many things. The modern Internet is well developed. In modern times, she always liked to read ancient online novels. There are many stories about the customs of the Turkic people in the novels. In modern times, she often went to the playground with her classmates to play shooting games. So she was able to fight side by side with Han Xuan in the last war. In addition to the good archery taught by Han Xuan, it was also because she had practiced aiming. Her family was rich, and she was also interested in it, and she also practiced women's judo. When she lived in modern times, she was proficient in all kinds of martial arts. Yunxi knew that the emperor who lived in the Tang Dynasty would definitely not believe it, nor could he imagine the development of modern science and technology.

Yunxi spoke sincerely, expressing her love for the country and her unique insights into negotiations. Her voice was clear and firm, as if it could penetrate the tent and reach everyone. She elaborated on her strategy and plan in detail, emphasizing the principle of peace and mutual benefit.

The emperor nodded slightly, moved by Yunxi's wisdom and courage. He understood that Yunxi was a capable and determined woman, and perhaps she could really get a better result for the country in the negotiations. At this moment, the emperor admired Yunxi very much.

Yunxi thanked the emperor and turned away, her steps firm and powerful. She knew that the road ahead would not be smooth, but she was willing to shoulder this responsibility and work hard for the benefit of the country. She would face the challenge with wisdom and courage and live up to the expectations of the emperor and the people.

Yunxi accepted the appointment. She knew that the task was arduous, but for the sake of the country and the people, she had no hesitation.

When Yunxi returned to Han Xuan's tent, Han Xuan was much better. Zhaxi and Xiaowan were taking care of him. Han Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw Yunxi coming in, and he struggled to sit up. Yunxi quickly supported Han Xuan and said, "You are seriously injured, you have to lie down. I have asked the emperor for permission to represent the Tang Dynasty to go on a diplomatic mission to Turkestan." Her words also shocked everyone present, especially Han Xuan, who thought there was something wrong with his ears. "You want to go on a diplomatic mission to Turkestan, this... I don't agree."

"I have decided to go to the Turks for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and you, to persuade them to give up the war, and at the same time strive for more favorable conditions for the country." Yunxi answered firmly. Yes, she felt that she had to shoulder this responsibility. Although she was a woman, she was a woman who traveled from the modern times, and there was also the prince in the palace who she cared about. For him, she had no choice but to do it.

Before Yunxi left on the mission, the emperor frowned, his eyes revealing a trace of worry. He put his hands behind his back and paced slowly in the tent, secretly worried about Yunxi's mission to the Turks. Yunxi was not only the wife of General Han, whom he relied on, but also the biological mother of the prince, and the white moonlight that would never go away in his mind. No matter which identity, it was very important to the emperor.

Moreover, this mission to Turkic region carries a heavy responsibility, but the situation in the Turkic region is complicated and full of unknown dangers.

In order to ensure Yunxi's personal safety, the emperor, after careful consideration, decided to arrange for his personal bodyguard Shangguan Yu to accompany him. Shangguan Yu is the emperor's capable bodyguard, experienced in many battles, highly skilled in martial arts, loyal and reliable. The emperor believes that his company can add a layer of security to Yunxi.

Before leaving, the emperor personally summoned Shangguan Yu and earnestly instructed him: "During this mission to the Turks, you must do your best to protect Yunxi's safety and not slack off in the slightest. Make sure she returns safely." Shangguan Yu knelt down to accept the order, his eyes firm and full of a sense of mission. He assured the emperor that he would live up to his mission.

After everything was ready, Yunxi and Shangguan Yu led a team of envoys on their journey to the Turkic region. Carrying their bags on their backs, they crossed the vast grasslands and headed towards the Turkic region. Shangguan Yu always remained highly alert and closely guarded Yunxi. His agile, handsome and majestic figure made people feel extremely at ease. Yunxi, on the other hand, had a firm expression, and was determined to complete this important diplomatic mission with the emperor's expectations and the country's mission in mind.

To know what will happen when Yunxi is escorted by Shangguan Yu on her diplomatic mission to Turkic Khaganate, please stay tuned for the next chapter. Thank you for reading!
