Chapter 58: The bewildered Lu Dongzan, fooling Zhangsun Wuji again
"Why? Do you disagree?"
Qin Mu's eyes glanced lightly at Lu Dongzan.
Suddenly!
Lu Dongzan felt as if a thousand-jin weight were pressing down on him!
He could not even straighten his waist.
Only then did he truly realize that in front of Qin Mu, he was like an ant!
"Your humble servant dares not! It is just that your humble servant did not expect it."
Lu Dongzan trembled all over, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.
"Indeed, logically speaking, there is no need to be so rushed. But an accident has occurred."
"May I ask Your Majesty, what accident?"
"I just hijacked the Great Tang's Empress and Princess Changle."
Lu Dongzan:???
The private room was extremely quiet.
As soon as Lu Dongzan heard this sentence, he had not yet reacted.
A moment later.
"Your... Your Majesty, my ears have not been very good lately; what did you just say..."
Lu Dongzan wanted to confirm it again, trembling.
Hehe!
"It has made me decide to leave Changancheng early."
He must have misheard!
Hallucination!
It must be a hallucination!
"I hijacked the Great Tang's Empress and Princess Changle."
Qin Mu's voice sounded in Lu Dongzan's ear once again.
Pfft!!!
What!?
Hijacked the Great Tang's Empress and Princess Changle???
Lu Dongzan was completely bewildered, feeling as if he were going crazy.
Damn it!
Throughout history, who has ever seen such an audacious youth?
Daring to hijack the Empress and the Princess?
Why didn't you just hijack Li Lao Er as well?
That way you could have let their whole family reunite!
Lu Dongzan was in a mess; he suddenly felt that leaving tomorrow seemed a bit too slow!
He wished he could set off and leave Changancheng immediately.
Let's go!
Hurry up and go!
Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble this ancestor will stir up.
"Not bad, Lu Dongzan. It seems you have improved lately; you can still be so calm after hearing this."
Looking at Lu Dongzan, who was already in a mess, Qin Mu thought he was calm and composed, so he could not help but nod and praise him.
Hehe!
Not as improved as you!
"Thank... thank you for the praise, Your Majesty."
The corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth twitched, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just at this moment.
Wei Zhongxian walked in from outside the door.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Great Tang's Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji, requests an audience."
"Oh?"
Qin Mu's eyes turned, he beckoned to Lu Dongzan, and whispered a few instructions.
The main hall of the post station.
Zhangsun Wuji was pacing slowly.
Recalling the events of today at the Taiji Hall, his heart felt somewhat heavy.
This Lu Dongzan is truly incredibly clever; he actually solved those three difficult problems overnight.
If he had this person's help, even if that brat escaped to Tibet, he would certainly be able to find him.
No!
No matter what the cost, he must find out the whereabouts of that brat.
Otherwise, this old man will not be able to eat or sleep in peace!
"Hahaha, Duke of Zhao, I failed to welcome you from afar, I have offended you."
Lu Dongzan's hearty laughter came from outside the door.
"Hahaha, honored envoy, you are too polite. Today in the hall, your performance was truly stunning!"
Zhangsun Wuji also exchanged polite pleasantries.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. I wonder what brings the Duke of Zhao here this time?"
Lu Dongzan bowed and smiled faintly.
"Naturally, it is still for the Great Tang's number one rebel."
Zhangsun Wuji did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
As expected!
His Majesty guessed correctly!
This old thief is still not giving up!
Before coming to see Zhangsun Wuji, Qin Mu had already guessed the purpose of his visit.
Lu Dongzan pretended to hesitate for a moment, and according to what Qin Mu had told him, said: "Duke of Zhao, to tell you the truth, it is not that I am unwilling to help you, but Tibet is vast and sparsely populated; wanting to find one person is no different from looking for a needle in the ocean."
"Hahaha, honored envoy, you are being humble." Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand and continued: "Honored envoy, you are incredibly clever; this small matter is certainly no problem for you. Of course, if the honored envoy can help the Great Tang accomplish this, His Majesty will certainly not treat you poorly, nor will he treat Tibet poorly."
This is the sentence I was waiting for!
A flash of light passed through Lu Dongzan's eyes; he pretended to be in a difficult position, nodded, and said: "Very well! Since that is the case, then I shall help the Duke of Zhao with this favor."
"Too good! This old man did not misjudge you; the honored envoy is truly a person of great righteousness."
Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up immediately.
If he had this person's help, why worry about not knowing the whereabouts of that brat.
But he probably never dreamed.
That the brat who made him unable to eat or sleep in peace was currently sitting in the private room of the post station, leisurely drinking tea!
"However..." Lu Dongzan paused slightly and continued: "I also wish to ask the Duke of Zhao for a favor."
"Speak your mind!"
Zhangsun Wuji agreed without hesitation.
As long as he could find Qin Mu, no condition was a problem!
"Today the Great Tang Emperor has already granted a marriage, and it is not convenient for me to stay in the Great Tang for long; my lord is still in Tibet, waiting day and night for me to return early."
"I am prepared to set off tomorrow to take the Princess back to our country; I ask the Duke of Zhao to handle things so that we may leave Changancheng in a grand manner."
Lu Dongzan stated his condition for the exchange.
And all of this was instructed to him by Qin Mu in secret. **CHAPTER 60**
