Chapter 23

A smile played on the corner of Qin Mu's mouth, and the sharp light released from his eyes looked exactly like that of a political veteran.

Hearing these words, Fang Xuanling, who was kneeling in the crowd, trembled all over.

This child is truly not simple!

At such a young age, he can be neither arrogant nor impetuous; not only does he want to unify Tibet, but he also wants to squeeze the last bit of value out of the enemy's talent.

Such a temperament is truly a bit like His Majesty back in the day!

Fang Xuanling's thoughts gradually returned to more than a decade ago.

At that time, Li Er was still the Prince of Qin, high-spirited, steady, and capable; he was exactly the same as this youth before him!

Eh?

Come to think of it, this youth really does look somewhat similar to His Majesty back then!

How could it be such a coincidence?

Fang Xuanling secretly glanced at Qin Mu, suddenly discovered this strange phenomenon, and couldn't help but frown.

"Thank you, Great King, for the grace of not killing me; Lu Dongzan will definitely go through fire and water to repay the Great King!"

Lu Dongzan was excited beyond measure, kowtowing like a pestle hitting garlic.

In their Tibetan culture, there is no such thing as the unique loyalty and principles found in the Central Plains.

The strong are respected!

This is the only law in this wild and growing region!

"You! Lu Dongzan! You actually dare to betray me!"

Songtsen Gampo was furious, his teeth chattering, wishing he could tear Lu Dongzan into pieces.

"Songtsen, the bond between our monarch and subject has come to an end; I once used all my strength to assist you, and we owe each other nothing." Lu Dongzan turned around and looked at Songtsen Gampo with a peaceful gaze.

"You! You!"

Songtsen Gampo was so angry he couldn't say a word; what the other person said was indeed correct.

During his reign, Lu Dongzan had always been exhausted and had never been the slightest bit slack.

Based on such dedication alone, he could be considered a capable official.

As the saying goes, a good minister chooses his master to serve; there was really no need for him to hang himself on one tree.

Didn't famous generals like Zhang Liao and Zhang He of the Three Kingdoms period also follow Cao Cao wholeheartedly because they were grateful for his kindness?

Whether a subordinate can exert all their talents depends mainly on the master's heroic strategy!

Lu Dongzan firmly believed that in Qin Mu's hands, he would definitely exert his greatest talents!

"Yue Fei, take the others down."

Qin Mu saw that his goal had been achieved, so he waved his hand and turned to walk toward the throne.

Except for Lu Dongzan, he was not interested in anyone else.

Fang Xuanling, who was hiding among them, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately!

His identity had not been exposed.

It's just that things would be a bit troublesome later.

How to escape from the prison?

Fang Xuanling planned to plan slowly after returning.

He believed that with his strategy, escaping from here would not be a difficult task.

"Great King, wait!"

Just at this moment, Lu Dongzan suddenly called out to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu turned his head, glanced at him, and didn't speak, just waiting quietly.

"Great King, this sinful subject wants to report something to you, which might be of some use to the Great King."

Lu Dongzan said respectfully.

"Tell me."

Qin Mu turned around and nodded slightly with interest.

"Great King, on the eve of your decisive battle with Songtsen, the Great Tang sent an envoy to comfort Songtsen Gampo, and sent a prime minister-level figure as a special envoy, and also brought countless supplies."

Damn it!

Fang Xuanling, who had just been glad to have escaped a disaster, was furious upon hearing this, his eyes looking at Lu Dongzan like knives, wishing he could cut him into a thousand pieces!

Bad luck!

Truly bad luck!

Fang Xuanling immediately felt as if he had fallen into endless darkness.

Given the hatred between Qin Mu and the Great Tang, if his identity were exposed, wouldn't it be a life of nine deaths and one life?
