Chapter 60: The mission leaves Changancheng, the whole country cheers them off
Changancheng is the number one city in the world, prosperous and wealthy.
After the envoys from the 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 us just consider our previous words as idle chatter."
Lu Dongzan turned around, preparing to leave.
"Honored envoy, wait!" Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly grabbed Lu Dongzan and nodded: "What is difficult about this? When tomorrow comes, this old man will personally see you off, allowing you to leave Changancheng in a grand manner."
"Good! Then I thank the Duke of Zhao in advance!"
"I guarantee that within a month, I will certainly find the whereabouts of that youth."
Lu Dongzan promised solemnly.
"Too good, it's a deal!"
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and smiled, excited beyond measure.
Imperial palace, Ganlu Hall.
"Your Majesty, good news, great good news!"
Zhangsun Wuji ran into the Ganlu Hall, panting, his face full of joyful smiles.
"Wuji, what makes you so happy?"
Li Er looked at Zhangsun Wuji and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, today your humble subject went to the post station of the Tibetan special envoy and had a conversation with the envoy Lu Dongzan, and I received a piece of news."
"Oh? What news?"
"Our Great Tang's number one rebel, Qin Mu, has now escaped to Tibet."
"What?"
The name Qin Mu was like plucking Li Er's nerves, making him stand up directly from the dragon throne.
"No wonder! No wonder we searched for months, yet this person was neither seen alive nor dead; I did not expect he had already escaped the Great Tang!"
A cold light flashed in Li Er's eyes.
He had the same thought as Zhangsun Wuji.
No matter what the cost, he must find Qin Mu.
"Correct! Your Majesty, not only that, but your humble subject also had Lu Dongzan help us search for Qin Mu's whereabouts in Tibet."
"Lu Dongzan has already promised your humble subject that within a month, there will certainly be news of Qin Mu. Your Majesty, Lu Dongzan is incredibly clever; if he has promised this matter, then Qin Mu will certainly have nowhere to hide in Tibet!"
Zhangsun Wuji said confidently.
"Wuji, you have handled this matter well."
Li Er was in a great mood and cast a look of approval at Zhangsun Wuji.
Too good!
It is truly too good!
In order to find Qin Mu's whereabouts, he had been unable to sleep for so many days and nights.
Now that there was finally a lead, how could one not be happy?
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty, but Lu Dongzan 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 the imperial relatives, are to go to the gates of Changancheng to cheer the Tibetan special envoy out of the city!"
Li Er was also extremely excited and agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhangsun Wuji was in high spirits; after thanking Li Er, he hurried out of the Ganlu Hall to handle the matter.
The next day.
At the gates of Changancheng.
The crowd surged, and the noise was constant.
High officials, dignitaries, and civil and military officials arrived one after another to cheer the Tibetan mission as they left the capital.
Everyone was all smiles, conversing happily.
The atmosphere was extremely festive.
After all, it was a marriage alliance between two countries, so today could be considered a day of great joy.
Of course.
Naturally, Zhangsun Wuji's contribution was indispensable in this.
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji was standing at the head of the officials, and he had even specially worn a large red robe; the festive air carried a trace of luxury, and it seemed he had truly put in some effort.
In order to find news of Qin Mu, he had truly racked his brains.
Zhu Que Street.
More than a dozen luxurious carriages were slowly driving toward the city gate.
Each carriage was decorated with red and colorful ornaments.
Especially the four-horse carriage in the middle; the carriage was carved with dragons and phoenixes, the horses were spirited, and it was incomparably luxurious!
Inside the carriage.
A woman with a good figure, wearing a phoenix crown and robes, was sitting inside.
The red veil woven from top-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 willing to let it leave her for even a moment.
She was Princess Wencheng, Li Xueyan, who was marrying into the alliance.
Li Xueyan lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears, her red lips bitten tightly, 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 inside the carriage of the first luxurious carriage of the Tibetan mission.
A rustling sound came from inside.
It was just that because of the clamor on both sides of Zhu Que Street, no one heard this faint sound.
Inside the carriage.
Empress Zhangsun and 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 strips, unable to cry out.
Moreover.
Beside them sat two women.
To be precise, two female assassins.
They were holding gleaming daggers against the necks of Empress Zhangsun and 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 could vaguely see some scenes.
People's cheers, the festive atmosphere...
