When Li Changkong and Zhang Xun heard this, their hearts trembled.
The latter sighed heavily in his heart, thinking that what was supposed to come had finally come.
The former had no choice but to step forward out of courtesy, bowed and saluted, and said: "I have met Her Highness the Princess, and I am none other than Uncle Daqian Anbei."
He specially emphasized the word "dagan"!
However, Princess Changping seemed not to have heard. After looking at Li Changkong carefully, she couldn't help but nodded and praised: "He really deserves his reputation. What a handsome young general with majestic appearance!"
Princess Changping’s admiration was so loud, I don’t know if it was intentional or not, even the accompanying honor guard could hear it!
You know, this guard of honor is the eyes and ears of the imperial court.
If they know it, it means the court knows it.
At the critical moment, Zhang Han stood up and said in a frivolous tone, as if he was joking: "Princess Changping's words are so ambiguous. Could it be that she has a crush on my great uncle An Bei?"
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave Zhang Han a thumbs up!
You know, for women, especially women from wealthy families, the most important thing is reputation!
Regardless of whether it is true or not, if the reputation is ruined, it will be a huge shame!
Although Princess Changping is the Valkyrie of the Western Jin Dynasty, she will eventually get married.
Even if you are recruiting a consort, your reputation is equally important!
If you have some unclear relationship with Li Changkong at this time, how will you get married in the future? How to recruit a consort?
Therefore, Zhang Han's plan can be described as a serious conspiracy! Hard to guard against!
Just to make Princess Changping take back what she just said!
However, who would have thought that when Princess Changping heard this, instead of showing any panic on her face, she smiled shyly, nodded generously, and said, "That's true."
As soon as these words came out, everyone on Daqian's side, including Li Changkong and Zhang Xun, changed their expressions.
This is like dragging Li Changkong into trouble even if he doesn't care about his own reputation!
It seems that they all underestimated the determination of the Western Jin Dynasty and Princess Changping!
"The princess is joking. I heard that the Western Jin Dynasty has a vast territory and countless young talents."
"In contrast, Li's talent was not worthy of recognition even in Daqian. He did not even pass the imperial examination."
"The princess doesn't even look down on the top talents in the Western Jin Dynasty, but she only likes Li. Could it be that... the talents in the Western Jin Dynasty are not as good as my talents in Da Qian?"
As soon as Li Changkong said these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a poisonous plan!
Li Changkong seems to have lowered his status, but in fact he wants to use self-defilation to make Princess Changping either indirectly admit that the talents of the Western Jin Dynasty are not as good as those of Daqian, or give up on him Li Changkong!
What a brilliant idea!
Zhang Han even applauded in his heart!
Even Princess Changping herself lost her previous complacency when she heard this. Instead, she frowned slightly.
But it only took a moment before he said with a smile: "Uncle Anbei was joking. Your Excellency previously beheaded Yeluqi, the son of the former King Zuoxian of the Yelu Tribe in Northern Xinjiang!"
"Now we have seen through Liu Jing's plans one after another, put down the rebellion in Yizhou, and solved the siege of Qiandu City."
"Besides, although you have never passed the imperial examination, the disciples you taught have shone in the imperial examination!"
"If such a talented person can't even get a good reputation in Daqian, I'm afraid..."
Princess Changping did not continue, but the meaning was already obvious - it is you who are ignorant of others!
"In order to prevent the pearl from being covered in dust, I, the Western Jin Dynasty, are willing to sweep the couch to welcome you! As long as Uncle An Bei is willing to come, I will take the position of Grand Governor and wait for you!"
After saying these words, everyone in Daqian couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, and their expressions were extremely different.
Zhang Xun frowned even more, feeling worried in his heart.
There are many people who are good at speaking, and most civil servants are like this.
But he really didn't expect that the Princess Changping, known as the Valkyrie of the Western Jin Dynasty, would be the same!
Black can be said to be white, dead can be said to be alive!
Li Changkong has obviously dug a hole for her to jump into!
Who would have thought that in such a few words, he would actually become the guest?
Not only did they ridicule them openly and secretly for their lack of understanding of people, but they also expressed the Western Jin Dynasty's eagerness for talents!
Especially the position of Governor!
Among all the countries in the four directions, this is a proper first-class general title!
Among generals, second only to the general!
There are even times when even the great general may not be able to mobilize the great governor!
It can be said that he is a truly supreme minister, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
Just say it like that, who wouldn't be moved?
On the other hand, when they were working hard, the talent that others valued so much was only a fourth-grade general who conquered the west among us.
It is extremely obvious which company has a good attitude towards talents!
Furthermore, this Princess Changping was far away in the Western Jin Dynasty and only came to Daqian recently.
But she knew everything about Li Changkong!
Even Li Long knows about his existence!
It shows that the other party has made a lot of preparations, and this trip is probably inevitable!
You can't talk to her like this anymore, otherwise you'll be wrong if you talk too much!
Li Changkong thought to himself, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Li is a Daqian in life, and will be Daqian's ghost in death. This will not change even after nine deaths!"
When Princess Changping heard this, a look of disappointment visible to the naked eye appeared on her delicate face, but she still refused to give up and said, "But what's wrong? If Uncle Anbei has any needs, you can ask for them!"
"As long as this princess can do it, I will be satisfied!"
"It's not impossible for me to commit myself to you!"
Speaking of this, the people in the honor guard began to whisper, and even the troops brought by Princess Changping also whispered to each other.
They really couldn't figure out why Princess Changping, who founded the Detachment of Women and created a great reputation, valued Li Changkong so much.
Granting the position of Grand Governor is already a rare favor, but why should he also commit himself to the other party?
When Zhang Xun saw this scene, his expression turned extremely ugly.
Obviously, the other party's purpose has been successful!
"Quiet!" Zhang Xun shouted angrily, then looked at Li Changkong.
To be honest, everyone would be tempted by such conditions.
Even he was not sure what decision Li Changkong would make.
However, under everyone's gaze, Li Changkong still sighed, and then said with firm eyes: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I still say the same thing."
"Li was born in Daqian, so he should die in Daqian. In Daqian, this is called falling leaves returning to their roots. If he died in a foreign country, it would be a great act of unfilial piety!"
"It's to bring the ancestors back to life from their coffins."
Li Changkong expressed his attitude with a joke, and everyone on Daqian's side breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relieved.
The look of disappointment on Princess Changping's face was even heavier, but a hint of appreciation flashed deep in her eyes.
