Li Chengfeng and Li Shimin, father and son, chatted in the palace until evening before leaving.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace, Li Chengfeng smelled a hint of blood.
All the chamberlains who had been waiting at the door had disappeared, and the huge palace seemed a little deserted.
Looking through the bloody smell, he happened to see the shadow that had put on clothes and was standing at the door of the palace.
Shadow and Li Chengfeng looked at each other, nodded slightly and said: "Eighth Prince, don't worry, my subordinates have taken care of it."
As soon as he said this, Li Chengfeng understood instantly. It seemed that all the missing servants had been dealt with secretly by the shadows.
If I hadn't come out by chance, I wouldn't have been suspicious of this matter. The palace is really too big, and a few people missing would mean nothing.
After saying hello to the shadow, Li Chengfeng didn't stay long and ran straight out of the palace gate.
The system woke up again, and he still had some things to consult carefully.
For example, what are the strange scenes that I saw repeatedly when I was seriously injured? Who are the people with other systems?
He was full of questions that still needed to be answered.
Two quarters of an hour later, Li Chengfeng returned to the bedroom of the Zhen Wang Mansion and silently asked the system in his heart:
"System, what happened to the illusion I saw before I fell into coma? Who are the other time travelers?"
[Ding dong! This question exceeds the system permissions at this stage. The system can answer it after the host completes the main task!]
[Ding dong! No other systems have been detected, the host does not need to worry!]
The cold mechanical sound of the system sounded, and Li Chengfeng finally relaxed a little.
Although the matter of the illusion has not been answered, at least there are no other time travellers, and there is no need to be cautious at all times.
But it was clear that before he fell into coma, he heard the system saying that it had detected energy from other systems. Why was this?
[System, what happened to the other system energy you mentioned that day?] Li Chengfeng continued to ask.
But the system didn't answer any more, and all the questions about the energy of other systems fell into silence.
"It seems we can only take one step at a time. Let's finish the main mission first!" Li Chengfeng comforted himself.
That night, Shadow left Chang'an late at night and rushed to Youzhou to mobilize troops with Li Chengfeng's handwritten letter left in Li Shimin's palace.
Li Chengfeng will set off in two months. He has to secretly mobilize Li Chengfeng's private army from Youzhou, and the Fengzi troops also have to make arrangements in advance.
What's more, the supplies for so many people and the routes into Tubo required him to arrange them in advance.
The next morning, Li Chengfeng changed into royal clothes early and prepared to go to court.
It would be useless to finalize such a big matter as dispatching a delegation of envoys in secret. He still needed to cooperate with Li Shimin to go through the process.
Of course, apart from Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng, few outsiders knew the purpose behind sending out the envoys.
Walking towards the imperial palace, Li Chengfeng spotted several familiar figures at the entrance to the imperial city.
"Isn't this Mr. Du and Mr. Wei? We haven't seen each other for a long time. You guys are so polite!" Li Chengfeng walked up to the two of them and said.
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, who were talking, both turned their heads and saw Li Chengfeng standing in front of him, which really shocked them.
Others don't know that they know everything about Li Chengfeng, but he is a ruthless person who dares to pull Long Live Lord's beard in public.
The scene of ridiculing the two of them in the court at that time was still vivid in their minds, but they didn't dare to make a big deal out of it.
Who knows what crooked ideas this man has in mind.
Li Chengfeng's eyes rolled around, looking up and down at Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, the more he looked at them, the more suitable they became.
Yesterday he and Li Shimin discussed it. If there were no famous officials in the mission, it would arouse suspicion.
Now, among the people in the court who are suitable to go on an envoy to Tibet with Li Chengfeng, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng are the best.
They are all civil servants and among the most senior officials among the courtiers. Sending them together as envoys can show the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty envoy.
Secondly, the presence of these two people on behalf of the mission can also attract the attention of the Tubo royal family and create space and opportunities for Li Chengfeng to take action!
Thinking of this, the smile on Li Chengfeng's face became even brighter, making Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng's hair stand on end.
"Brother Wei, when did you provoke this demon king?"
"Don't ask Brother Du, let's leave quickly!"
Du and Wei whispered and quickened their pace again towards the palace.
When the surrounding officials who went to court together saw the two of them looking like this, they deliberately stayed away from Li Chengfeng and walked forward.
Li Chengfeng looked at the frightened ministers around him and walked into the palace in a swaggering manner.
No matter what today, he had to find a way to add the names of Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng to the mission list.
The bells and cauldrons sounded, and the civil and military ministers lined up on both sides of the court, while Li Chengfeng stood alone under Li Shimin.
"Dear sirs, I will leave aside other government affairs for the time being."
"In three months' time there will be the Hadammu Conference in Tubo. Do you have any recommendations for envoys?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
The ministers looked at each other and bowed their heads in silence.
In the past, sending an envoy to Tibet would not only gain prestige, but it would also be a good way to get gold.
Each of you ministers would recommend a member of your family or a disciple to go.
But now the relationship between Tang Dynasty and Tibet is tense, and the danger of sending an envoy to Tibet at this time is too high.
Apart from the possibility of having his body buried in a foreign land if he is not careful, if he loses the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, he may have his whole family executed.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground, bowed his head and said in salute: "Father, I am willing to go!"
Seeing Li Chengfeng take the initiative to take over the hot potato, Li Shimin's gloomy expression improved a lot.
"If we hadn't discussed it last night, I would have believed you didn't know about it beforehand."
"Sure enough, no one who can be an emperor has poor acting skills!"
Li Chengfeng saw the change in Li Shimin's face and secretly complained in his heart.
"Which minister is willing to go with my son?" Li Shimin said to everyone in the audience with a sullen expression.
The ministers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot at this moment.
If no one went before, His Majesty could just get angry and reprimand him in public. But if no one goes now, it will be a big problem.
As the prince most admired by His Majesty, the Eighth Prince took the initiative to ask for help. How timid and cowardly were these ministers.
Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng were looking at each other, winking and glaring, trying to get each other to go.
The two of them were not afraid of death, but mainly because they were afraid of going on an envoy to Tibet with Li Chengfeng.
But just as the two were exchanging blame, Li Chengfeng took a step forward again and bowed deeply:
"My father and my sons think that the two ministers Du and Wei are talented and magnanimous."
"If the two of them can go with me, they will not lose the dignity of our great country!"
Hearing these words, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng could only stand out from the courtiers, and took the initiative to ask for permission: "We are willing to go on an envoy to Tibet with your highness."
The matter has come to this, and if you don't go any further, you will not be giving the royal family face, and the two of them have no other choice.
"You will have to consider yourself unlucky if you mess with this damn king!" the two of them thought to themselves.
Chapter completed!
