"Leaving tomorrow? Isn't that a bit too rushed?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji frowned, somewhat surprised.

Changancheng is the number one city in the world, prosperous and wealthy.

After the envoys from various nations arrived here, their eyes were dazzled, and they wished they could stay for ten days or half a month.

This person is truly strange!

"If it is difficult for the Duke of Zhao, then forget it. Let's just consider our previous words as idle chatter."

Ludongzan turned around, preparing to leave.

"Honored envoy, wait!" Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly grabbed Ludongzan and nodded: "What is difficult about this? Tomorrow, I will personally see you off, and let your Tibet leave Changancheng in a grand manner."

"Good! Then I thank the Duke of Zhao in advance!"

"I guarantee that within a month, I will definitely find the whereabouts of that youth."

Ludongzan promised solemnly.

"Great, it's a deal!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji nodded and smiled excitedly.

Imperial Palace, Ganlu Hall.

"Your Majesty, good news, great news!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji ran into the Ganlu Hall, panting, his face full of joyful smiles.

"Zhangsun Wuji, what makes you so happy?"

Li Er looked at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, today I went to the post station of the Tibetan envoy and had a conversation with the envoy Ludongzan, and I received some news."

"Oh? What news?"

"Our Great Tang's number one rebel, Qin Mu, has now fled to Tibet."

"What?"

Qin Mu's name seemed to trigger Li Er's nerves, making him stand up directly from the throne.

"No wonder! No wonder we searched for months, yet the person was neither seen alive nor dead; I never expected he had already fled Great Tang!"

A cold light flashed in Li Er's eyes.

He had the same thought as Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji.

No matter what the cost, he must find Qin Mu.

"Indeed! Your Majesty, not only that, I also asked Ludongzan to help us find Qin Mu's whereabouts in Tibet."

"Ludongzan has already promised me that within a month, there will definitely be news of Qin Mu. Your Majesty, Ludongzan is incredibly clever; if he has promised this, then Qin Mu in Tibet will certainly have nowhere to hide!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji said confidently.

"Zhangsun Wuji, you have handled this matter well."

Li Er was in a great mood and cast an approving look at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji.

Great!

Truly great!

In order to find Qin Mu's whereabouts, he had spent many sleepless nights.

Now that there was finally a lead, how could one not be happy?

"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty, but Ludongzan has one request."

"What request?"

"He wants to set off to return to Tibet tomorrow, and hopes to leave Changancheng in a grand manner."

"What is difficult about that? Pass my decree: tomorrow, all officials of the third rank and above in the capital, as well as imperial relatives, are to go to the gate of Changancheng to see off the Tibetan envoy!"

Li Er was also incredibly excited and agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was in high spirits, and after thanking Li Er, he hurried out of the Ganlu Hall to handle the matter.

The next day.

At the gate of Changancheng.

Crowds were surging, and the noise was constant.

Dignitaries and civil and military officials arrived one after another to see off the Tibetan mission as they left the capital.

Everyone was beaming with smiles and talking happily.

The atmosphere was extremely festive.

After all, it was a marriage alliance between two countries, so today could be considered a joyous day.

Of course.

Naturally, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji's contribution was indispensable.

At this moment, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was standing at the head of the officials, having specially worn a large red robe, which was festive and carried a touch of nobility; it seemed he had really put in some effort.

In order to find news of Qin Mu, he had truly racked his brains.

Vermilion Bird Avenue.

A dozen luxury carriages were slowly driving toward the city gate.

Every carriage was decorated with red and colorful ornaments.

Especially the four-horse carriage in the middle, with its carved dragons and phoenixes, and spirited horses, it was extremely luxurious!

Inside the carriage.

A woman with a beautiful figure, wearing a phoenix crown and robes, was sitting inside.

The red veil made of high-quality silk was swaying left and right with the movement of the carriage.

The only special thing was that she was holding an exquisite dagger in her hand, not wanting to let it leave her for a moment.

She was Princess Wencheng, Li Li Xueyan, who was marrying into the alliance.

Li Li Xueyan lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears, her lips bitten, and her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Finally...

She was still forced onto the road of marriage alliance.

Everything is fate, and nothing is up to oneself!

Despair!

And in the carriage of the first luxury carriage of the Tibetan mission.

A rustling sound came from inside.

It was just that because of the bustling crowd on both sides of Vermilion Bird Avenue, no one heard this faint sound.

Inside the carriage.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Princess Changle were tied up tightly with their hands behind their backs, with no possibility of breaking free.

Their mouths were also stuffed with cloth, unable to cry out.

Moreover.

There were two women sitting beside them.

To be precise, two female assassins.

They were holding gleaming daggers against the necks of Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou and Princess Changle.

The meaning was clear.

Dare to move, and you die!

The curtains on both sides of the carriage swayed with the wind.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou could vaguely see some scenes.

People's cheers, the festive atmosphere...

Is this?

What is this?

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou realized she was on Vermilion Bird Avenue and was driving toward the gate of Changancheng.

She calmed down and analyzed rapidly in her mind.

The Tibetan mission entered the capital, the Emperor granted the marriage, the marriage alliance between Great Tang and Tibet.
