Chapter 58

Outside the city of Lhasa.

"Master, we have finally arrived!"

Fang Fang Xuanling looked at the city before him, his heart filled with deep emotion.

It felt Wu Li Ke a lifetime ago!

In just a few short months, how many life-and-death situations had he experienced? How many upheavals had the Great Tang gone through?

The fate of the two nations had also completely changed!

The mastermind stirring up the winds and clouds was actually just a teenager in his teens.

Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable!

"Oh? So this is the royal city of the Great Qin?"

Li Er nodded, looking out and admiring the royal city before him.

Unlike Changancheng.

This royal city looked more Wu Li Ke it had the flavor of the Western Regions.

The towering Budalagong was located on a high hill.

Even from outside the city, it could be seen clearly.

And the layout of the entire royal city was more Wu Li Ke a circle surrounding Budalagong as the center point.

All the buildings faced the royal palace, as if they were constantly paying homage.

Magnificent!

Breathtaking!

"Fang Xuanling, when you came last time, was this royal city already Wu Li Ke this?"

Li Er asked curiously.

"Master, of course not." Fang Fang Xuanling gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "This entire layout is naturally his credit."

Who "he" referred to, there was no need to say; Li Er understood it in his heart.

Naturally, it was Qin Mu!

Besides him, who else could be so ingenious?

"It seems this trip was truly worth it!"

Li Er gave a cold smile and secretly made up his mind.

When he returned to Changancheng, he would definitely push for reforms with greater force!

Otherwise.

Perhaps in the near future, the Great Tang would be left far behind.

"Master, why don't you rest in the post station? I will handle the matter of entering Budalagong to meet Qin Mu." Fang Fang Xuanling was still somewhat worried.

Li Er was simply too bold.

To actually dare to disguise his identity within enemy territory; if anything were to happen to him, he would truly be unable to atone for his crimes even with ten thousand deaths!

At the same time.

Fang Fang Xuanling also quite admired Qin Mu's courage.

Only by putting himself in the same situation could he understand how dangerous he was at that time.

"No! I am going with you."

"No matter what, I must see him."

Li Er rejected Fang Fang Xuanling decisively.

His heart was filled with endless curiosity.

What did Qin Mu actually look Wu Li Ke? What was his personality Wu Li Ke?

He really wanted to see this teenager sooner!

Setting other things aside.

Li Er still felt a sense of mutual appreciation for Qin Mu.

After all.

This teenager was truly too similar to what he himself once was.

"This..."

"Alright then!"

Fang Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, then gave up on continuing to dissuade him.

Li Er also had a stubborn temper.

The kind that even nine oxen couldn't pull back.

"Alright, let's go in!"

Li Er took a deep breath and slowly entered the royal city.

When the group entered the city gate, the scene before them appeared Wu Li Ke a bizarre and dreamlike sight, extremely shocking.

The orderly layout, the diverse government agencies, and the wide main road were even more than twice the size of the Zhuque Street in Changancheng!

There were even dedicated lanes for carriages.

A total of four lanes, two in each direction, separated by shrubbery in the middle.

Various educational, medical, and commercial institutions were even more dazzling.

The traffic was heavy, and people were coming and going.

Everything was so orderly.

It was truly a scene of prosperity and colorful splendor!

If not for the limitations of the plateau region, this royal city would likely surpass Changancheng and become the true number one city in the world.

"I have truly gained some knowledge."

"I have never seen any royal city with such a scene."

Li Er rode his steed, slowly admiring the surrounding prosperity, and could not help but sigh with emotion.

Everything here was so fresh and full of vitality.

Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

And all of this was not often seen even in Changancheng.

After all...

The Changancheng of the Great Tang belonged to the noble families!

Until this very moment.

Li Er finally realized where the gap between himself and Qin Mu lay.

The common people of the world!

When Qin Mu took the common people of the world as his own responsibility, Li Er was still having a headache over how to balance the interests of the noble families and the Five Surnames and Seven Clans.

Thinking of these things.

Li Er felt his face burning Wu Li Ke fire!

It hurt!

It burned with pain!

"Master, let alone you, even I am quite astonished."

"When I came to this royal city last time, it had just experienced the flames of war; except for Budalagong, the surroundings were all in a state of desolation."

"I didn't expect that in just a few months, Qin Mu could develop this place to such an extent."

"Both the population and the city are developing at an incredible speed."

Fang Fang Xuanling was filled with emotion, his praise overflowing in his words.

There was no other way!

He truly couldn't find any flaws!

He felt ashamed of his own inferiority!

"Fang Xuanling, how long do you think it would take for our Great Tang to develop to this extent?"

Li Er asked uncontrollably.

He truly wished this was the capital of the Great Tang!

"This..." Fang Fang Xuanling gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "It's difficult! Your Majesty, the current drawbacks of the Great Tang are not in development; the root cause is that the interests of the noble families are hindering your path forward."

To achieve thorough development and reform, one could ultimately not bypass the behemoth that was the noble clans.

No matter how he wanted to reform, Li Er could not do it all by himself; he must have capable helpers.
