"Although the years have passed, my ambition remains unfulfilled. I will continue to shine for the Tang Dynasty."

"I, Li Jing, am old, but I can still eat!"

As Li Jing spoke, he picked up the bow in his hand.

He took a deep breath, held the bow with both hands, and began to exert force.

The muscles in his arms were tense and the veins were bulging. As he pulled, the hard bow was stretched little by little, like a full moon.

The two stone bows were pulled so perfectly in Li Jing's hands that everyone on the field changed their expressions and their eyes were full of shock.

Li Jing felt a surge of energy in his heart.

shouted loudly.

"I want to show you that I, Li Jing, am not old yet and can still fight for the Tang Dynasty."

At this moment, the air in the hall seemed to be frozen, and only the sound of Li Jing pulling the bowstring was echoing.

You should know that in the Tang Dynasty's martial arts examination, anyone who could pull a stone bow would be rated as top.

At Li Jing's age, he could still draw a two-stone bow, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

But when everyone thought it was over, they saw Li Jing's face flushed red, with veins becoming more obvious, as if he was fighting against time and fate.

All that was heard was his angry shout.

"Ah! Open it for me!"

With this roar.

The loud "clang" sounded particularly harsh in the silent court.

Li Jing actually broke the hard bow, and the broken bowstring made a buzzing sound in the air.

It seems to be telling the extraordinary nature of this veteran.

Li Jing held the broken bow in his hand and looked around at the ministers who were so shocked that they were speechless. His eyes were like lightning and he spoke loudly.

"Although I am old, my abilities have not been diminished by time. I can still fight for my country and relieve your worries."

His voice echoed throughout the court, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart, making everyone silent in an instant, with more awe in their eyes.

"I have dedicated my entire life to the Tang Dynasty. As long as the Tang Dynasty needs me, I will do whatever it takes."

His wrinkled face reflected his determined expression.

Even though this veteran in front of me has white hair, he is Li Jing!

It was Li Jing, the Tang Dynasty god of war who terrified the enemies!

He has made great military achievements and is famous far and wide.

Even the Wolf Lair Mountain where Huo Qubing conquered the Wolf Lair, this Tang Dynasty God of War passed by it four times!

He fought countless battles in his life, but never coveted military exploits. The saying "a good warrior has no great achievements" was fully reflected in him.

Wei Zheng opened his mouth and tried to retort several times, but he swallowed the words back every time.

He could only look at Li Jing with a complicated expression.

None of the ministers in the court ever doubted Li Jing's strength. What they were afraid of was that he would have too much power and become a powerful official, thus disrupting the existing balance in the court.

Li Jing turned around, holding the broken bow, and knelt on the ground.

He looked solemn, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Your Majesty trusts me and gives me this opportunity. I will repay you with my own death."

he shouted.

"Your Majesty, I thank Your Majesty for giving me a good home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a decent old age and agreeing to my request."

"I am a military commander. Dying in bed is a waste of my life. As long as the Tang Dynasty's enemies still exist, I shall die on horseback!"

Li Chengqian was deeply moved by Li Jing's words. He stood up and walked down from the dragon throne, taking every step firmly and powerfully.

He walked up to Li Jing and used both hands to help up this god of war who had fought for the Tang Dynasty all his life, his eyes full of respect.

"I will ensure that the old general can go to war with peace of mind and live up to his loyalty."

"Since I have already promised you to take command, I will never break my promise."

Li Chengqian said solemnly.

"Li Jing, please obey my orders."

"Chen is here!"

Li Jing put down the broken bow in his hand, knelt on his knees again, and accepted the order with a pious look.

"From this day forward, Duke Wei Li Jing is ennobled as Duke of Wei, a title heirloom. He is also granted the title of Minister of Education, General of the Cavalry, and Marshal of the Tibetan Expedition. He will be in charge of all decisions regarding the Tibetan war!"
