Chapter 41

That was an incredibly beautiful woman!

A thin, green gauze dress displayed her curvaceous figure to the fullest, and her black hair hung down naturally like a waterfall.

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

Her bright, watery eyes made one's heart flutter.

The only strange thing was that this woman, who seemed weak and fragile, was holding an exquisite dagger in her onion-like fingers.

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

It gave one a kind of...

Feeling of being ready to die!

"This girl... is a bit interesting!"

Qin Mu glanced at the woman, a faint smile playing on his lips.

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

The usually dark-bellied Qin Mu even felt a trace of anticipation.

He wanted to see what it was like to witness a peerless beauty perish.

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 incredibly smart and naturally understood her meaning from her eyes, so he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Damn!

Women are truly terrifying!

Just like that.

Qin Mu and the woman stood side by side on the Chang'an city tower, neither speaking, watching the grand scene outside the Imperial Palace not far away with a tacit understanding.

At this time, on the Imperial Palace tower.

Li Er had already delivered a long-winded speech, to the point where some people were about to fall asleep.

The general meaning was that the Great Tang's strength was ordained by heaven, and he wished to share this golden age with all nations, and other such nonsense.

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

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

Anyway, flattery didn't cost money.

Flatter!

Flatter for all you're worth!

Li Er looked at the reactions of the envoys and nodded continuously, feeling extremely 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 lick well, you won't be short of princesses!

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

On the Chang'an city tower.

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

But the woman was still standing there, staring blankly at Chang'an.

In her heart...

There seemed to be an unspeakable humiliation.

Qin Mu walked slowly past the woman, without any pity for the fair sex, nor did he stop at all, walking straight toward the stone steps.

"Stop right there!"

But just then, the woman suddenly 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 should be from the Tibetan diplomatic mission, right?"

The woman was as cold and stubborn as ever.

Qin Mu was slightly taken aback, then nodded and smiled lightly: "Your eyesight is not bad."

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

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

Hearing the affirmative answer, a trace of imperceptible excitement flashed in the woman's eyes, and she slowly lowered her head, whispering: "I'm sorry."

Hmm?

Sorry?

What does that mean?

Qin Mu was completely confused.

Before he could react, a cold light flashed.

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

"Holy crap!"

Qin Mu cursed, his feet suddenly exerting force, his body springing backward rapidly, barely dodging the fatal blow.

The woman's attack missed, her cold expression changing slightly, as if she couldn't believe Qin Mu would have such good skills.

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