Chapter 21

That was an incredibly beautiful woman!

A thin green gauze dress displayed her graceful figure to the fullest, and her jet-black hair hung down naturally Wu Li Ke a waterfall.

Her fair cheeks carried a trace of a blush, charming and moving.

Her bright, water-Wu Li Ke eyes could not help but make one's heart flutter.

The only strange thing was that this woman, who appeared frail, was holding an exquisite dagger in her onion-Wu Li Ke fingertips.

Her expression was even stranger; she bit her red lips tightly, gripped the dagger, and a trace of stubbornness and unwillingness was revealed in her eyes.

It gave one a...

Feeling of being ready to die for a cause!

"This young lady... is interesting!"

Qin Mu glanced at the woman, a faint smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

Could it be that she encountered some great injustice and wants to die on the tower to prove her innocence?

The usually dark-bellied Qin Mu even had a trace of anticipation in his heart.

He wanted to see what the experience of a peerless beauty dying would be Wu Li Ke.

The woman seemed to have sensed Qin Mu's thoughts, turned her head abruptly, and glared at him fiercely.

It felt as if she were saying...

If I die, I'm taking you with me!

Qin Mu was clever and naturally understood her meaning from her eyes, so he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Damn!

Women are truly terrifying!

Just Wu Li Ke that.

Qin Mu and the woman stood side by side on the Changancheng tower, neither speaking, watching the prosperous scene outside the palace not far away with a tacit understanding.

At this moment, on the palace tower.

Li Er had already delivered a long speech, to the point that some people were almost falling asleep.

The general meaning was that Great Tang's prosperity was the will of heaven, and he wished to share this prosperous age with all nations, and other such nonsense.

The envoys from the other nations naturally cooperated quite well, cheering and shouting "Long live Great Tang!" one after another.

After all, these people came here to flatter in order to gain some benefits from Great Tang.

Anyway, flattery doesn't cost money.

Flatter!

Flatter as hard as you can!

Li Er looked at the reactions of the envoys from various nations, nodding continuously, feeling quite satisfied in his heart, wishing he could give each of their countries a princess on the spot!

As the saying goes, as long as you flatter well, you'll get a princess!

After the tribute ceremony, where monarch and subjects celebrated together, Li Er ordered everyone to be invited into the Great Ming Palace to begin a grand banquet.

On the Changancheng tower.

Qin Mu saw that the celebration was over and prepared to turn and leave.

But the woman still stood there, staring blankly at Changancheng.

In her heart...

There seemed to be unspeakable humiliation.

Qin Mu walked past the woman slowly, without showing any chivalry or stopping at all, heading straight for the stone steps.

"Stop right there!"

But just then, the woman turned around and called out to stop Qin Mu.

"What?"

Qin Mu stopped and turned to look at the woman.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be from the Tubo envoy delegation, right?"

The woman was as cold and stubborn as ever.

Qin Mu was slightly startled, then nodded and smiled faintly: "Your eyesight is not bad."

At this time, he was still in his disguised appearance.

After all, as Great Tang's number one criminal, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, Qin Mu had not restored his true appearance.

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, a trace of imperceptible excitement flashed in the woman's eyes; she lowered her head slowly and murmured softly: "I'm sorry."

Huh?

Sorry?

What does that mean?

Qin Mu was completely confused.

Before he could react, a cold light suddenly flashed.

In the blink of an eye, a dagger appeared between Qin Mu's brows.

"Holy crap!"

Qin Mu cursed, his feet suddenly exerting force, and his body shot backward rapidly, barely dodging the fatal strike.

The woman missed her strike, her cold face changed slightly, as if she couldn't believe Qin Mu would have such good skills.

But time waits for no one; the woman did not hesitate at all, turned her body again, and stabbed rapidly toward Qin Mu.

Damn it!

I'm having such bad luck!

Is this Changancheng cursed against me?

Why do I have a bloody disaster every time I come here?

Watching the woman coming with fierce killing intent, Qin Mu felt speechless, but still calmly drew the Qinglian Treasure Sword from his sleeve.

"Clang!"

As the blades clashed, the two figures quickly intertwined.

Over at the palace, people were still cheering and celebrating enthusiastically, in a festive mood.

But here at the Changancheng tower, it was filled with murderous intent, with two people fighting for their lives.

After a lightning-fast exchange, Qin Mu finally subdued the woman with his sharp sword intent.

Qin Mu held the Qinglian sword against the woman's snow-white neck and asked: "Why kill me?"

"Because you are a Tubo envoy!"

"What? Do you have a grudge against Tubo?"

Upon hearing this reason, Qin Mu was even more speechless.

He really couldn't understand.

What kind of deep blood feud this woman in front of him had with Tubo that could make her fight for her life Wu Li Ke this!

"Heh, I really didn't expect that Tubo would have someone as capable as you; it's truly fate."

"Since I lost to you, I have nothing to say; kill me."

The woman closed her eyes slowly, as if she had given up, and a smile of relief even appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

Qin Mu's eyes gradually turned cold, and the Qinglian sword in his hand exerted more pressure.

He was never a man who would show mercy to a woman.

As the blade deepened, a line of blood appeared on the woman's snow-white neck.

"Finally free, no need to marry into that barbaric land."

The woman murmured softly, preparing to accept her final fate.

But when Qin Mu heard this, the movement of his hand suddenly stopped.

This sentence was a bit strange!

Did she mean she was about to be married to Tubo?

Qin Mu sized up the woman in front of him; both in appearance and dress, she was top-notch, definitely a young lady from some noble family.

Connecting this to the purpose of the envoys from various nations coming to Great Tang, Qin Mu quickly guessed the woman's identity.

A Great Tang princess!
