Chapter 565 "Anything is Possible"
Lin Wanrong chuckled heartily and declared loudly, "Lu Dongzan, you're too kind. To be honest, among the Turks, you're the one I admire the most. If not for the war, sharing a drink and a chat with you would be an incredibly joyous occasion."
"Master Lin, your words fill me with immense pride," replied Lu Dongzan, the Turkic National Tutor, a trace of pride and delight appearing on his face. "If you wish to drink and talk, I'd be more than happy to accompany you, and even surprise you in ways you'd never expect! But for now, I'd suggest you retreat from the edge of the Sea (Desert) of Death. Even my bravest Turkic warriors dare not venture there. I would hate to see a man I admire so much meet his end in such a place."
Lin Wanrong grinned, "So, you're suggesting that I retreat from the Sea of Death only to await your capture? That's a pretty neat calculation you've made!"
Lu Dongzan quickly shook his head, "Why would I capture you? You misunderstand, Master Lin. You're the most intelligent person in Great Hua, and few among us Turks could rival you. We Turks admire strength and valor. You have proven your mettle through your wit and courage. As long as you retreat from the Sea of Death, I assure you, the Turks will treat you with the respect accorded to a national hero. You can have any official title you desire; Bilge Khagan will bestow it upon you."
"Any official title, you say? You Turks really hold me in high regard." Lin Wanrong chuckled, "So, Lu Dongzan, can I really choose any position?"
Seeing that he was interested, Lu Dongzan eagerly nodded, "Any position, Master Lin, the choice is yours!"
"In that case, if I wanted to become your Khan, that would be alright too, yes?" Lin Wanrong said with a playful grin.
The expressions of the Turks opposite him changed dramatically. Angry glares and murmurs erupted.
