Prime Minister Midu was indeed as strong as he appeared. During these few days, the Tuyuhun grassland experienced a rebirth.
Prime Minister Midu massacred all the followers of the former Khan, including almost all the members of the former Khan's family. There was no other way. If these people were not killed, the civil war in Tuyuhun would last longer in the future.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Prime Minister Midu had made preparations in advance. Even a superman would not be able to accomplish so many things in these few days. Prime Minister Midu had made preparations in his mind, but he had never used them. Now that he was forced to the edge of the cliff, he had to launch them in advance.
Shili Pavilion in Chang'an City.
Li Xiang and his group were extremely tired. In the past ten days, they had rested for no more than two hours a day, and spent the rest of the time on horseback. The other people were all old men in the military camp, so they were still able to hold on. Li Xiang felt that his thighs were no longer his own. Now when his legs fell to the ground, he felt as if he was floating in the clouds.
This time Li Xiang went out secretly, so the court could not arrange anyone to greet him. Li Xiang just ate something here and then quickly returned to Chang'an City.
Throughout the Tang Empire, many people wanted to kill Li Xiang, but after the incident with Zat'rk, they had suppressed this thought deep in their hearts. Unless they were desperate, they would never put this matter into practice. But at this moment, Li Xiang felt the murderous intent again...
"Protect His Highness."
Everyone in the system is in tune with Li Xiang. Once Li Xiang senses danger, these people can feel it immediately. Although their bodies have reached their limits, when Li Xiang senses danger, everyone immediately throws away the food in their hands and stands around Li Xiang, blocking all angles.
"It's rumored that His Highness has an army sworn to defend him to the death. I didn't believe it before, but today it seems to be true."
The voice sounded familiar, and Li Xiang had already guessed who it was. He didn't expect that someone would actually come to greet him, but this person was someone Li Xiang didn't want to see. He was the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan.
"I'm afraid that the Prime Minister's appearance here at this time is not to show off my guards, right?"
The two men felt murderous aura from each other every time they met, so Li Xiang had to be on guard. In the dense forest about 600 meters away from here, Li Xiang took out 600 archers from the system space. If you have an ambush, don't blame me for being rude.
"If my guess is correct, the recent events on the Tuyuhun grasslands should be closely related to Your Highness, and Your Highness is carrying the agreement with him right now."
Lu Dongzan did have a flash of thought just now, wanting to kill Li Xiang in the wilderness, but when he saw his elite men, Lu Dongzan immediately dismissed the idea. If he was not here, he would definitely let his men kill Li Xiang at all costs, but he was here at the moment. Killing a thousand enemies would only result in eight hundred casualties of his own. This kind of person would never put himself in danger.
He is a smart man after all. Li Xiang smiled bitterly. This guy has figured out everything, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he has obtained the agreement. Tuyuhun is now a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tubo Kingdom really wants to take the risk of attacking, then our Tang Dynasty will never retreat.
The Tang Dynasty was not prepared for war with Tubo, but was Tubo prepared for war with the Tang Dynasty?
"I don't understand what the Prime Minister is talking about. Does he like to joke? I have some important things to do these days, and now I have to rush back to the capital to report to my grandfather. If the Prime Minister has nothing else to do, I would like to go first."
Li Xiang always felt that the surrounding woods were eerie. Although his men were lying in ambush, he did not want to deal with the people in front of him. He should have given instructions to other people when he came out of Chang'an City. If he left Chang'an and returned to Tubo on that day, Li Xiang might have ordered his men to take action.
Killing Lu Dongzan now would easily provoke a war between the two countries, but if the day came when he left Chang'an City, perhaps Li Xiang would really dare to do it.
Lu Dongzan believed that Li Xiang was an important figure in the rise of the Tang Dynasty. How could Li Xiang not know that Lu Dongzan was an important figure in Tubo?
"I'm just enjoying the surrounding scenery. If Your Highness needs anything, you can go back first. But I also have a small matter. If Your Highness wants to know which family in the Tang Dynasty is connected to my Tubo, why not sit down and have a drink?"
Lu Dongzan pointed to a small pavilion in the distance where wine and food were already prepared.
"I'm sorry, but this isn't my responsibility. I'm exhausted these past few days. I'll take a break after returning to the city. If you're still in the mood to talk, I'll invite you to Heaven on Earth."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he rode away. Lu Dongzan left him here today. Who knows what he wants to do? Moreover, Li Xiang doesn't expect to find out from his mouth who has connections with your Tubo. If he tells him a lie, it may affect his judgment.
What's more, he was too tired in recent days. His thinking ability was affected by physical fatigue and had declined a lot. In this case, if he talked with a person with high IQ, he would probably be exposed, so Li Xiang chose to leave.
Lu Dongzan and his men stared in amazement at the direction where Li Xiang left. He thought that the bait he threw out was good enough, but he didn't expect that Li Xiang was not interested at all. Could it be that this person has no sense of responsibility towards the Tang Dynasty?
According to Lu Dongzan's idea, if it were any other prince or grandson of the Tang Dynasty, these people would gather around him when they heard his proposal. As long as they could investigate thoroughly and then hand this family over to the emperor, it would be a great achievement. Doesn't this kid want it?
Speaking of great achievements, Li Xiang naturally didn't care about this spy family. Before Li Xiang set off, Li Shimin had already announced in front of everyone that as long as Li Xiang could retrieve this vassal agreement, he would be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. If you expose that family you mentioned, can we become the crown prince? Li Xiang still has a clear distinction between the important and the unimportant...
