Chapter 54: An accidental collision, Changle discovers the fake identity
Qin Mu had not participated in the Great Tang's ten-thousand-nation celebration from beginning to end, choosing instead to tour the mountains and waters around Changancheng.
The surrounding fields were crisscrossed with paths, and farmers were working diligently in the fields.
Several water buffalo would raise their heads from time to time and sing out loudly.
Compared to the harsh weather and saline-alkali soil of the Tibetan plateau, Changancheng could truly be called a land of abundance.
"Truly not bad! Compared to when I left last time, this place seems even more prosperous."
Qin Mu commented on everything before him while leisurely enjoying the scenery.
"Da da da!"
Just at this moment, the sound of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.
Seeing that less than a hundred meters away from Qin Mu, a tall horse was galloping rapidly.
Sitting on the horse's back was actually a young girl.
The girl was dressed in red, her small hands gripping the reins tightly, her fair, tender face flushed with red, looking very strained.
She seemed not to know how to ride a horse at all.
"Move aside! Everyone move aside!"
The girl shouted left and right while galloping forward on the horse.
In the blink of an eye.
That horse had already galloped in front of Qin Mu.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
The expressions of Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian changed suddenly.
No sooner said than done.
Before the two had finished speaking, that steed was almost about to collide with Qin Mu.
"Ah!"
The girl had long since been scared pale, closing her eyes, not daring to look at the scene that was about to follow.
"Hmph!"
Qin Mu was unhurried, only giving a cold snort, and flashed to the side at a speed the eye could not capture.
At the same time, he quickly reached out and struck a palm at the horse's neck.
Sip!
"Neigh!"
Following a violent cry, that fierce horse fell directly to the ground!
The girl sitting on the horse's back also rolled off directly.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian hurried toward Qin Mu, asking with anxious faces.
Qin Mu shook his head calmly.
"Your Majesty?"
"Who are you? Which country's Emperor are you?"
The girl sitting on the ground widened her eyes immediately after hearing the two's words, her eyes filled with curiosity.
This girl was none other than Princess Changle, who had just come out of the imperial palace to clear her mind!
Today.
Empress Zhangsun had brought Changle out of the imperial palace and stayed in a royal manor near Changancheng.
One reason was to let Changle clear her mind, and the other was to fulfill a wish for this girl.
Changle was mischievous by nature, and having never stepped a single step outside the imperial palace, she had a strong curiosity about the world outside.
Taking advantage of when others were not paying attention.
She had actually stolen a fierce horse and escaped from the royal manor privately.
But who would have thought.
The fierce horse was difficult to tame, and since Changle did not know how to ride, she could not control it at all, charging wildly along the way, unable to stop.
If it weren't for Qin Mu's remarkable skills, she might have been struck by that fierce horse and died vomiting blood.
"Your Majesty, this is bad. This girl might know Your Majesty's identity; she cannot be left alive!"
Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly and whispered in Qin Mu's ear.
Just now, in the urgency of the moment.
He and Yu Huatian had let it slip and called Qin Mu "Your Majesty" directly.
If this girl before them reported this matter to the government, it might lead to complications!
"Do as you see fit."
Qin Mu nodded, feeling that Wei Zhongxian's words made sense.
His own identity must never be known by any outsider; otherwise, the plan to marry the Princess might fall through.
Moreover.
Qin Mu felt that he was truly too unlucky!
Having arrived in Changancheng for only a few days, he had almost encountered two bloody disasters.
Bad luck!
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Yu Huatian nodded in agreement and pulled a short blade from under his cloak; he was a top-tier assassin!
"You... what are you doing!"
"Audacious! Do you know who I am?"
Changle seemed to realize the intentions of Qin Mu and the others, retreating in fear. Qin Mu glanced at Changle, then turned his head back.
I don't care who you are!
"Stop!"
Just at this moment, a woman's voice reached Qin Mu's ears.
In the blink of an eye.
Approaching Changle step by step.
A graceful and luxurious woman arrived with several guards.
"Mother!"
After seeing the woman's face clearly, Changle hurried into her embrace.
This woman was naturally the current Empress of the Great Tang, Empress Zhangsun.
"Mother?"
Hearing these two words, Qin Mu frowned.
It seems this mother and daughter are not simple.
"Be good, don't be afraid, Mother is here."
Empress Zhangsun comforted Changle, then immediately raised her head to look at Qin Mu, frowning.
She could see that Qin Mu's attire was clearly not that of a Central Plains person, and she felt some doubt in her heart.
Could he be a special envoy from some country?
That's not right!
All the special envoys should be in the Taiji Hall at this moment.
Who exactly is he?
After thinking for a moment, Empress Zhangsun opened her mouth to ask softly: "This young master, my daughter has collided with you; I apologize to you here, and I hope you will not take offense."
"Mother, he is not an ordinary young master, he is..."
"Stop!"
Before Changle could finish her words, she was directly interrupted by Empress Zhangsun. **CHAPTER 56**
