"Yes, I understand." The messenger, who had followed the old general for over a decade, bowed his head in conviction. After listening to the general's heartfelt words, he finally understood the general's deep meaning. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a wave of shame for his previous thoughts.

In fact, if it is true as the general said, Zhu Moye's importance can be big or small, but this time he was able to kill thousands of Turks by his own strength, and this merit is real. When the news reached the court of the Tang Dynasty, it even alarmed the emperor of the time.

The current emperor, Li Shimin, was a great leader. After hearing these words, he felt dizzy. He had never imagined that there would be such a person in this world with abilities that were almost like those of a demon.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little curious about Zhu Moye, especially when he heard that he was just a teenager, his eyes lit up, because young people meant they were easy to win over. Especially at this time, the Tang Dynasty was surrounded by enemies and needed any powerful force.

After hearing that Zhu Moye would also come to Chang'an, Li Shimin was more direct and ordered people to guard various locations.

Talented people like this must be treated well. On this point, Li Shimin always thought that he was very patient.

As long as Zhu Moye came to him, Li Shimin would definitely find a way to keep him to serve the court.

However, this also requires Zhu Moye to arrive in Chang'an. Where is Zhu Moye at this time?

Di Ting lazily walked in the forest carrying Zhu Moye on his back. Even though there were all kinds of messy tree branches under his feet, they were as if there was nothing under Di Ting's feet.

Zhu Moye sat on Di Ting's back, which was extremely stable. At least, there was nothing that could make Zhu Moye feel bumpy.

"Master, where are we going?" Di Ting looked lazy, but in reality, he was moving at a very fast pace. In a blink of an eye, he had covered several miles of difficult mountain roads. However, looking at the seemingly endless mountain road before him, Di Ting felt a little bored. He didn't know why Zhu Moye chose to go into the jungle. Wouldn't it be better to walk in the void?

"Come slowly, isn't it nice to look at this beautiful scenery?" Zhu Moye responded after hearing Di Ting's call.

"Chang'an is not far from us." Although Di Ting did not say anything after listening to Zhu Moye's words, his eyes contained such a puzzled meaning. If they really wanted to hurry, they would be able to reach Chang'an soon.

"You don't know that in this world, there is something called waiting to be sold at a good price." Zhu Moye looked at Di Ting in front of him, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Di Ting confused.

But Zhu Moye in front of him seemed to have some new ideas. In this case, Di Ting should just lower his head and pretend that he knew nothing, and continue to move forward slowly and silently.

Well, in Zhu Moye’s words, it’s just looking at the so-called scenery.

Waiting for the right price, Zhu Moye knew very well that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still the ambitious Li Shimin. Given the emperor's personality, how could he let him go?

If Zhu Moye entered the huge Chang'an City at this time, he would probably be invited to the palace as a guest in no time.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye did not want to meet Li Shimin so soon. Some things need to be kept for a longer time to exert greater effects.

Therefore, Zhu Moye deliberately slowed down his speed and let the divine beast Di Ting carry him through the mountains and fields. Anyway, Di Ting's speed seemed slow but was actually fast, similar to the immortal magic of shrinking the earth into an inch. Mortals had no way of seeing their appearance clearly, and could only feel a breeze blowing, just like a wind in the summer that came from nowhere.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye can naturally enjoy this rare leisure time freely.

However, before I knew it, time had passed.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Even if Zhu Moye was slow, he arrived at the gate of Chang'an with the help of the divine beast Di Ting.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, represents the home of the world's most high-end talents at that time. Outside the city gate at this time, there are also dense crowds of people, bustling with activity. It is unknown how many people are coming in and out of this most prosperous city in the world at that time.

Chapter 554 Rumors

The Tang Dynasty at this time was in its heyday of prosperity. Although it was still surrounded by foreign enemies, at least the people in the court knew how to create an atmosphere of prosperity and peace.

This is exactly what Zhu Moye felt when he walked into Chang'an.

The noisy hawking on the streets, the stalls stretching for miles, and the smiles on the faces of passers-by all made Zhu Moye feel infected by the emotions of the crowd.

"I think we need to find a place to eat something." When they reached the edge of the restaurant, Zhu Moye felt a little hungry and said to Di Ting beside him. Di Ting nodded in agreement.

After entering Chang'an, Di Ting naturally couldn't maintain her original appearance. She transformed herself into a cute little dog, quietly following Zhu Moye. Because of her cute and adorable appearance, she attracted the attention of many passers-by.

However, after seeing the owner Zhu Moye beside the little dog, everyone knew to retreat.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Just looking at the restaurant in front of him, Zhu Moye deeply felt the flavor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty at that time. Well, the food in the restaurant smelled very fragrant, which was the main point.

Although Zhu Moye was definitely hungry, it didn't matter. The moment he walked into the restaurant, the waiter's expression became extremely enthusiastic: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Are there any seats upstairs?" Zhu Moye took a quick look. The restaurant was well decorated with exquisite carvings, but there were too many people sitting on the first floor.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you upstairs." The waiter immediately and attentively led Zhu Moye upstairs, and the enthusiasm in his eyes obviously far exceeded his attitude towards ordinary guests.

But Zhu Moye just thought that the other party was attracted by his extraordinary clothes and there was money to be made. Aren't all merchants in the world the same? Therefore, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he was quite satisfied with the attentive attitude of the store waiter: "Let's go."

When they went up to the second floor, they realized that the restaurant had really put a lot of thought into its layout. Each table had a screen, effectively blocking the neighbors' gazes. This made Zhu Moye nod his head repeatedly, "Where's the window seat?"

"There is another one, right here. If you look down from here, you can just see the scene on the street. I'll prepare some wine and food for you. What would you like to eat?" There was an inexplicable light flashing in the waiter's eyes, like admiration and excitement, with a hint of joy. Zhu Moye felt a little amused when he saw it. He had thought of a certain aspect, but did not reveal it.

"Well, bring up all the signature dishes in your restaurant." Zhu Moye ordered casually.

The waiter immediately agreed happily: "Yes, please wait a moment."

"Good speed." Zhu Moye praised. He didn't know if this restaurant gave him priority, but in less than half an incense stick of time, the table in front of him was already filled with wine and food, and the people who were watching were dazzled.

Fortunately, the private room on the second floor was shielded from other people's gazes, otherwise Zhu Moye's rapid speed in serving dishes would probably have caused speculation from others.

"This is the wine the shopkeeper sends you. It's produced in Shaoxing and is a top-quality wine. Please enjoy it." The waiter looked at Zhu Moye in front of him without saying much. After diligently introducing him, he turned around and left without any delay.

"You really know how to behave." Zhu Moye suddenly laughed. It was unclear whether he was praising the shopkeeper or the merchant from Chang'an. However, the expression in Zhu Moye's eyes did not change at all. After the waiter left, Zhu Moye slowly picked up the wine pot, filled a glass for himself, and drank it by himself.

Looking out the window, one could just see the cityscape below. Zhu Moye usually walked in high-rise buildings and had rarely seen such scenes. He did not feel bored for a moment, but was rather interested in watching.

In just a moment, when Zhu Moye was looking at the beautiful scenery below, the voice of the person sitting next to him suddenly came.

"Brother Wang, what's fun in Chang'an recently?"

"Nothing has happened in Chang'an recently, but a rumor is very hot."

The people who were talking were obviously a couple who knew each other, but their idle chat got to Zhu Moye's ears, and since he had nothing to do, he just listened for a while.

"What rumor?" the younger man couldn't help but ask.

"The Turkic people who had troubled General Zeng at the border for several years were wiped out in one day. Do you know what happened?" The slightly older man boasted a bit, obviously thinking that the young man next to him was unaware of this.

"Hey, Brother Wang, you are talking about this matter. I heard about it from street vendors when I first came to Chang'an." Unexpectedly, the younger man just smiled and realized that he had already heard the rumor from street vendors.

Any rumor that can spread to the market will inevitably cause heated discussion. This matter has a high rumor rate, so it is no wonder that so many people are talking about it.

"I heard that it was a young knight who killed them. His methods were unpredictable. He trapped thousands of Turks in a valley and then burned everything to ashes with a huge fire. The people at the border finally have some peace and quiet to live in." The younger man said with emotion.

"Yes, but I don't know where that young man is now. If he is willing to serve the country, it will be a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty." Brother Wang also said with emotion.

"Hey, why are there suddenly so many soldiers downstairs?" There was a sudden commotion in the restaurant, and the conversation between the two men came to an abrupt end.

Zhu Moye, who was full of interest, had already guessed most of the words when listening to the words of Brother Wang beside him. However, even he did not expect that he had created such a big name in Chang'an City. Even the street vendors knew about his deeds. It was really unimaginable.

However, Zhu Moye didn't want to pay attention to all this at this moment. He just wanted to enjoy the moment quietly. As for the noise downstairs, he naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Chapter 555 was found

However, many times, if you don't look for the other person, the other person will find you instead. For example, Zhu Moye at this moment.

At this moment, Zhu Moye just wanted to quietly enjoy the scenery from the top of the restaurant, but there was always a noisy sound below. Finally, Zhu Moye frowned and looked down. The dense crowd of heads below surprised Zhu Moye a little. He didn't expect that so many officers and soldiers would suddenly be dispatched from Chang'an City.

What is strange is that these officers and soldiers did not take care of other things, but ran to stand in front of the restaurant. There were so many of them, and no one knew what they were here for.

When he thought of this, Zhu Moye had actually guessed something in his heart, but before he could react, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the stairs of the restaurant behind him.

"The distinguished guest is in the elegant seat by the window in front." The waiter's voice came, and Zhu Moye heard it and shook his head slightly. He didn't want to bother with such a small person. This small person himself was probably helpless. Although Zhu Moye heard the voice and guessed that the other party must have come for him, he did not stand up, and even his expression did not change at all. He continued to sit quietly in his seat, drinking from time to time.

Under such circumstances, the general had already walked over quickly with the waiter. After seeing Zhu Moye clearly, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He immediately bowed and said respectfully: "I have met Zhu Moye, Young Master Zhu. Now I would like to ask Young Master Zhu to accompany me to the palace."

"Lead the way." Who knew that he originally thought he would say a lot, but he saw Zhu Moye in front of him just waved his hand lightly, and then stood up.

He took a step forward without hesitation. Before he had even touched the food and wine on the table, the man's face flushed slightly, knowing that he had been a little too eager this time. But there was nothing he could do. After receiving the news, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty kept urging him to bring the person over quickly.

In this situation, this person did not dare to disobey any further. There was no other way, because the person who said this was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, this person immediately brought his people to the outside of the restaurant. After seeing Zhu Moye in front of him, he realized that Zhu Moye in front of him was indeed as young as the rumors said. He was so young that he didn't dare to recognize him.

Fortunately, the Zhu Moye in front of him seemed easy to talk to, at least he didn't seem so difficult to approach.

Under such circumstances, the man immediately took Zhu Moye forward and apologized to Zhu Moye. He did not dare to let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wait for him to return.

"It's okay. I know your difficulties. Let's talk about it after I enter the palace." Zhu Moye looked at the man and shook his head. He knew that these had nothing to do with the person next to him, so naturally he had no intention of blaming him.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Young Master Zhu." The person who delivered the message immediately expressed his gratitude. According to his qualifications, he should not have to speak to Zhu Moye like this at this time, but Zhu Moye's identity is different now.

You have to know that among the people of the Tang Dynasty, there is no one who doesn’t know Zhu Moye. In everyone’s heart, Zhu Moye has almost become a myth.

How could a person who could single-handedly wipe out an entire Turkic people not be a legend?

And such a person, right in front of him, why not curry favor with him? What you have to know is that even a fool can see that according to the great merits Zhu Moye has made this time, as long as he is willing to accept the reward from the court, he will definitely rise to the top.

In official circles, the most important things are, first, background, and second, ability.

The former is an accessory, and the latter is hardware. No matter where you go, both are sufficient.

Although Zhu Moye in front of him has no background, his ability alone is enough to make everyone look at him with admiration.

If someone else were here, I don’t know what they would think.

Looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, the man felt a little relieved. Zhu Moye in front of him was obviously much easier to talk to than he had imagined.

Of course, this was also because Zhu Moye had already guessed the other party's intention. Otherwise, under such circumstances, he would not have been able to so easily agree to let this person follow him.

Walking through the alleys of the city, many people were talking about it after seeing so many soldiers and officers clearing the way. Many people stood on both sides, wondering who the young man in the middle was. Although they didn't know Zhu Moye's identity, just looking at this noble and extraordinary young man in front of them was something worth admiring.

Under such circumstances, Chonglou did not have much worries. With so many officers and soldiers clearing the way for him, there was not much to worry about, and he easily arrived outside the Tang Dynasty Palace.

"Come in quickly, the emperor is waiting to see you." The eunuch's shrill voice gave Zhu Moye a sense of familiarity, as if he hadn't heard such a voice in a long time. Zhu Moye shook his head with a bit of amusement, saying that it seemed like a long time had passed. Looking at the appearance of these people in front of him, Zhu Moye did not linger for long, as these people in front of him were the officials of the current dynasty.

When Zhu Moye came outside the court, they all looked over at him. It was obvious that they were also very curious about Zhu Moye in front of them.

"During this period of time, what has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty is that this young man in front of us is truly extraordinary. He does not look the least bit restrained in this court. He is not as timid as ordinary people." The ministers looked at Zhu Moye in front of them with admiration.

Zhu Moye lowered his head. For the time being, he still respected the rules here. After all, this was the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the people here were his predecessors.

However, it was impossible to make Zhu Moye kneel down.

Chapter 556 Entering the Palace

"This..." The eunuch beside him saw the young man with a straight back, not even a hunch. Aside from a slight bow of his head as a sign of courtesy, he seemed too unimpressive. But this young man was a talented man who had just made great achievements and was also quite favored by the emperor. Under such circumstances, the experienced eunuch didn't know how to speak and could only look at the emperor.

Before entering, Zhu Moye had already recalled the situation of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the great ruler, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who was more known to the world as Li Shimin. He didn't know how the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would treat Zhu Moye, which made Zhu Moye very excited.

The majestic atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty Palace made Zhu Moye feel somewhat familiar. He seemed to be back in his own Ming Dynasty Palace. However, when he came to his senses, he still found it a bit funny. This was probably what they called things have changed and people have changed. Moreover, this was the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Moye quickly calmed himself down.

"Haha, it's okay, just stand and answer. Zhu Moye, can you raise your head so I can take a look at you?" Unexpectedly, the Tang Emperor on the Dragon Throne was very easy to talk to. After seeing Zhu Moye in the audience, he immediately said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Moye nodded to express his gratitude, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. However, because of everyone's previous impression of him as a capable man, they did not think his attitude was arrogant at all, but just right.

"When General Zeng heard that you, Zhu Moye, single-handedly wiped out the Turkic threat at the border, he was very excited. He specially wrote a memorial, sent an expedited letter over eight hundred miles, urging me to meet you no matter what. When I saw you today, I found that you were indeed extraordinary. It is true that heroes emerge from youth." The Tang Emperor was already quite old at this time, over thirty years old, which was a very old age in ancient times.

When looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, the Tang Emperor's condescending tone made Zhu Moye feel a little funny, but he also knew at this time that even if he found it funny, he should not laugh out loud.

Looking at the Tang Emperor, Zhu Moye said seriously, "Your Majesty, your words are too flattering."

Perhaps because he had been an emperor for a long time, Zhu Moye was quite calm when he saw the Tang Emperor. At least he did not feel much excitement. To put it bluntly, the Tang Emperor in front of him was just an ordinary person.

If Zhu Moye were in his position, he could do better than him, so Zhu Moye's face was so calm, because in his heart, he was on equal footing with the Tang Emperor.

Looking at Zhu Moye's calm expression, Emperor Tang found it more and more interesting. Although the young man in front of him was young, his behavior was calm and composed, which was different from his age.

Especially when Zhu Moye looked up and looked into his eyes, the unwavering look in his eyes made Emperor Tang look even more admiring.

As the Emperor of Tang, he had seen countless young men in his life, but he had never seen anyone like Zhu Moye before him. Coupled with his previous curiosity and admiration for Zhu Moye, the Emperor was even more fond of him. For a moment, how could the other ministers in the court not see this?

These were all shrewd people, so it was not difficult for them to see the Emperor's fondness for Zhu Moye. Therefore, for a while, the court was filled with voices praising Zhu Moye. If it were someone else, they would probably be lost in the midst of so much flattery.

But who is Zhu Moye? He has experienced countless years, and the words of these people in front of him can't shake his mind at all. In such a situation, even if these people in front of him are constantly praising him, Zhu Moye completely ignores them.

Under such circumstances, the others could only look at each other. They obviously realized that although Zhu Moye in front of them responded to them with a smile on his face, he actually did not take their words to heart at all.

Seeing this, everyone didn't know what to think. If someone else was here, they would have been confused by these words.

But look at the young man in front of you. He is not affected at all. This kind of concentration alone is very rare.

The people present were all outstanding men of their time, otherwise they would not have been able to stand in this court. In such a situation, the way they looked at Zhu Moye in front of them became extremely unpredictable.

At least, the way they looked at Zhu Moye became indescribable. In their eyes, they probably just felt that Zhu Moye in front of them made them more curious.

"If I want to appoint you as a general and serve this dynasty, would you be willing?" Looking at Zhu Moye in front of him, the Tang Emperor said something with a smile on his face that surprised everyone else.

"This..." Zhu Moye in front of him was so young and unknown before. This general was a very high rank, and it was surprising to be given to Zhu Moye in front of him. However, the ministers had already trained themselves to be shrewd people. They would never say a word before someone else spoke.

Because their eyes are on the people next to them, they will only speak after others speak first.

For a moment, the court fell into an eerie silence. Zhu Moye curled his lips slightly, obviously knowing the bad nature of these ministers very well. Everyone wanted to see if anyone would stand up, but found that no one stood up at this time. The situation immediately became awkward.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Moye felt a little amused and didn't know what to say. However, the Tang Emperor on the Dragon Throne knew this very well. He just seized the opportunity at this moment, looked at Zhu Moye and said with a smile: "Are you willing, my dear?"

"I have a humble request." Originally, Zhu Moye should have addressed me as a commoner, but he simply skipped this title. The Emperor of Tang admired him very much at this time, so naturally he would not think there was anything wrong with it.
