Chapter 93

Just as Qin Mu's party was sneaking toward the Turks through Yunzhou City, the situation in the Great Tang's Changancheng was quite pessimistic.

Imperial Palace, Sweet Dew Hall.

Li Er was summoning a group of dukes and important officials to discuss state affairs here.

Besides this.

There was also a large group of imperial guards crawling on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

"Trash! All of you are trash!"

"What use do I have for you? Dozens of carriages, such a grand formation—after leaving Changancheng, they all mysteriously disappeared?" Li Er poured his anger onto these guards frantically.

He was furious to the extreme.

A full half-month had passed since Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle were kidnapped.

There was no news at all!

Li Er had dispatched a large number of elites to search along the necessary routes to Tibet.

He had even turned over every circuit, prefecture, and county where Qin Mu's party might have hidden.

But the result was nothing!

Of course.

There were indeed some people who had seen the Tibetan envoy mission's carriage convoy appear on the official road.

But I don't know when it started.

The Tibetan envoy mission mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

No one knew how they disappeared.

This was naturally Qin Mu's arrangement.

When he decided to split into two routes, the envoy mission heading to Tibet was the bait.

But this bait was just to attract attention.

After the news of Empress Zhangsun and Princess Changle being kidnapped spread, the members of the Tibetan envoy mission immediately dispersed, and were then met by secret agents sent by Yu Huatian.

In this way.

This Tibetan envoy mission disappeared without a trace without anyone knowing.

Not even a single trace could be found.

Li Er couldn't understand it no matter how he thought about it.

How could such a grand group of people just disappear so inexplicably?

In fact, it wasn't just Li Er who was confused; even many ministers and officials in the court were helpless.

You must know.

As a virtuous empress of the Great Tang, Empress Zhangsun's reputation had reached a height that others could not reach.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles had sent out the most capable people they had, hoping to find even a trace of Qin Mu and the others.

But the result was the same.

Nothing!

Sweet Dew Hall was silent.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence.

The atmosphere was awkward to the extreme.

Disgrace!

This was the disgrace of the entire Great Tang imperial clan and their dukes and important officials!

So many top-tier strategists and generals were actually played around by a youth in his teens.

It was truly shameful!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is news!"

Just at this moment, Li Junxian hurried in from outside the hall.

What!?

There is news!

Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at Li Junxian.

"Speak quickly!"

Li Er looked at Li Junxian impatiently.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, someone once saw a group of people wearing Western Regions clothing pass through Lingzhou."

"According to the locals' description, there were three carriages and a dozen light cavalry. The leaders were two people: one was a middle-aged man, about 30 years old. The other was a youth with a goatee and a high hat."

Li Junxian explained the situation in detail.

"It's him! It must be him!!!"

Before the words fell, Zhangsun Wuji jumped out and screamed at the top of his lungs.

These past few days.

Zhangsun Wuji had suffered humiliation he had never experienced in his life.

Every time he went to court, his colleagues looked at him with meaningful eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be saying...

He is an idiot!
