Chapter 903

Before leaving Chang'an, Zhang Juzheng had already sent over all the necessary official documents.

On the day they left, Zhang Juzheng personally saw them off out of the East Gate and across the Zhuo River. He broke a willow branch from the Zhuo River to send them off, parting with reluctance.

This gesture of farewell made Li Er feel even more that knowing Zhang Juzheng was the most correct thing they had done since coming to Great Qin!

Li Er was anxious.

He whipped his horse and returned to Jin Ling.

Upon returning, he saw that Zhangsun Wuji had actually arrived in Jin Ling even earlier than him.

This made Li Er very surprised.

"Wuji, why have you returned? Does the matter of training troops in Jiaozhou not need you to keep an eye on it?"

This matter should have been very shameful.

But Zhangsun Wuji's old face had already been trained to be impenetrable to swords and spears.

"Your Majesty, when I was training the army in Jiaozhou, Master Bianji suddenly returned!"

Bianji?

Li Er hadn't heard this name for a long time. Hearing it suddenly, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Bianji has returned; did he bring back any important intelligence?"

Everyone knew that Bianji had been defeated in Yelang.

No one expected him to bring back anything; as long as there was a little intelligence, it would be the greatest harvest.

When Zhangsun Wuji spoke of this, he was somewhat exuberant.

"Your Majesty, Bianji did indeed bring back important intelligence. He said that Great Qin has made a mess of the Harsha Empire.

The people of the Harsha Empire are very dissatisfied with Great Qin. He hopes to make some preparations and return to the Harsha Empire to incite the people to rebel and create trouble for Great Qin!"

This idea was not bad.

Li Er thought, anyway, it didn't require the Great Tang to come forward.

As long as they provided Bianji with what he needed, he could go and create trouble for Great Qin.

Why not do it?

"Good! You arrange this matter. Where is Bianji?"

Seeing that Li Er's mood seemed good, Zhangsun Wuji dared to speak and tell what had happened in Siam.

"Your Majesty, I saw that Bianji was resourceful, so I let him lead the trained merchant caravan into Siam.

Originally, Bianji's actions were very smooth; he had already beheaded the King of Siam on the spot and wiped out the top elites of Siam!" Hearing this, Li Er knew what had happened afterward.

Back in Chang'an, he knew that once Great Qin took action, there would be nothing for the Great Tang to do.

It would have been better not to send troops in the first place.

Now that Zhangsun Wuji had taken the initiative to send troops, speaking of it, it was all for the good of the Great Tang.

"It was really hard on you. Did you meet the Great Qin army afterward and have the fruits of victory taken over?"

"Yes."

Zhangsun Wuji was somewhat surprised to find that the Emperor had no intention of getting angry.

It seemed the Emperor had long expected that Great Qin would intervene.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong's army suddenly appeared. Our caravan only had a thousand people and could not resist, so we withdrew from Siam.

Fortunately, there were no casualties!"

This could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Li Er had already been angry about this and would not get angry a second time.

"Where is Bianji?"

"Bianji was fearless in the face of danger; after lurking in the Siamese capital of Ayutthaya for a few days, he escaped back unhurriedly.

On the way, he encountered the people of Jiaozhou, who thought he was Siamese, and he suffered a severe beating and was injured.

Currently, he is recuperating at my home."

Uh...

Li Er didn't know what to say; he could only say that he was really not up to it.

Hearing the beginning, he thought he was a hero. As a result, he was beaten up by a group of commoners and got injured.

"Bianji is a true warrior, just somewhat unlucky. This time, I have an important task to entrust to him.

Can he still walk now?"

"He can; I will call him to see the Emperor immediately!"

Zhangsun Wuji was spirited when he heard that the Emperor had an important task to entrust to Bianji.

Bianji was now considered his man; once he was valued by the Emperor and went to the Harsha Empire.

He could fight for many benefits for Zhangsun Wuji over there.

Soon.

Bianji was summoned.

"Subject Bianji, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Being able to see the Emperor of the Great Tang, Bianji was also very excited.

Before, when he was wanted by Great Qin, Great Qin's secret agents were checking tightly, and he didn't dare to stay in the Great Tang territory; at that time, the Emperor of the Great Tang wouldn't see him either, for fear of letting Great Qin grab a handle.

Now, people outside didn't know his whereabouts; he returned secretly and finally saw the Emperor of the Great Tang.

The Emperor was willing to see him, which meant he supported what he said.

Li Er took out a Great Qin customs clearance document.

"Prince of Wei Li Tai, originally to contact you, went to the Harsha Empire and was unfortunately captured by Great Qin. You take this customs clearance document and bring the Prince of Wei back."

This...

Bianji was somewhat hesitant.

"Your Majesty, I am a wanted criminal of Great Qin; if I appear so openly, I will be beheaded by Great Qin!"

Li Er realized.

He had just ignored this situation.

However, how could the words spoken by the Emperor be taken back?

"No matter! I trust your ability; you are responsible for leading the team. When the time comes, let someone else come forward to get Li Tai out."

If it was like this, Bianji could barely give it a try.

But the risk was still extremely high.

If the Emperor didn't give him enough benefits, he still didn't want to take this risk.

"Your Majesty, since there is not much use for me, why must I go?"

Li Er sighed.

"Great Qin is full of tricks; I am worried about any variables and need a resourceful person like you.

Don't worry, I won't use you for nothing. I bestow upon you a pure gold waist token, which can appoint or dismiss officials below the fifth rank at will.

With this special privilege, it will be more helpful for you to act on the Tianzhu Continent!"

This was an extraordinary special privilege!

Ministers in the court, such as Zhangsun Wuji, did not yet have this power. Any appointment or dismissal of officials with a rank had to be reported to the Emperor for approval.

If it weren't for him risking his life to incite the people to make trouble in Tianzhu, he probably wouldn't have gotten this special privilege.

Regardless, with this special privilege, he was like a tiger with wings.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I am willing to go through fire and water for the Great Tang, and die for it!"

Li Er used Bianji just to vent his anger.

Both delegations had been captured, and he wanted to make Wang Xuance and Yue Yun have a headache too.
