Along the way, Qin Mubai walked around Samoa City.

Although this city was not comparable to Chang’an’s magnificent laws, it was still prosperous and prosperous, especially when it came to business travel. Walking down the street, one could see Sogdians dressed in traditional Islamic white robes and greased with hair. Not to mention rows of shops, even an underage child or an old man sitting at an old door would peddle to passers-by the Thur and Agate products of the Western Regions, or wine horses. Seeing that Qin Mubai looked like a person from the Central Plains, many people rushed to ask him if he had brought silk or ceramics from the Central Plains in exchange.

The silk silk, ceramics, tea leaves, paintings, armor, and wine utensils of the Great Tang were all top-notch goods on the Western Regions’ trade route, and their profits were enormous.

It was said that after the birth of a child in Kang Country, his family would first wipe the honey on his mouth. His intention was to make his mouth “as sweet as honey” when he grew up, so as to facilitate business negotiations. Therefore, walking on the streets of Kang Country, no matter how familiar they were, everyone laughed when they met. Everyone was friendly, and it was hard to see a fight happening all year round, let alone a vicious incident like killing and setting fire.

Such a prosperous, lively, harmonious and stable place was undoubtedly particularly suitable for living. Qin Mubai now understood why Wu Meiniang had come to Kang Country without any hesitation. She just wanted to one day, after Qin Mubai retired, the whole family would move to the paradise of Kang Country to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives.

In the eyes of the Kang people, business profits were everything. Businessmen, all pay attention to harmony, harmony generates wealth. Therefore, it was only natural for Kangju Kingdom to resist the war from the king to the people, so that they would be rather weak and incompetent in military affairs.

Qin Mubai pondered all the way. The nine countries of Zhaowu wanted to unite as one, which was a good thing for the Great Tang. It is much easier to have a single large family as a friendly neighbour than to control nine small vassal states. These nine small countries of the Western Regions all had the same characteristics: they were good at doing business, wealthy countries, and weak in the military.

Now that the people of the nine kingdoms had the powerful Guanxi Army to assist them, they coincidentally complemented each other.

This was indeed a great opportunity for the Nine Nations Alliance. Now both sides win. As long as Qin Mubai agreed to complete this matter, it would be a perfect match.

As Yuan Tiangang had said, it was a good thing to be public and private. However, Qin Mubai also had some misgivings. The reason was because of Wu Meiniang.

Looking at the current situation, Wu Meiniang seemed to be eager to become the first auxiliary military aircraft minister of Kang Country. In other words, this woman was naturally not a mortal. She had the heart to win like a man in her bones, and she wanted to be outstanding in everything she did.

If she had the throne of Xin Kang, then with her ability, she could really do it. Otherwise, she would not be the only female emperor in Chinese history who ruled the world!

Originally, it didn’t matter who was the king of Kang Country. But precisely because Wu Meiniang was Qin Mubai’s wife, with her sensitive status as the king of the Western Regions, what kind of attitude would the Tang court have?

In the eyes of the Imperial Court and Li Shimin, this possibility wasn’t ruled out. In fact, it was him, Qin Mubai, who ruled separately!

The nature of that matter had completely changed!

…

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai felt that the matter of the unification of the nine kingdoms and Wu Meiniang being the king must be handled carefully. If something wasn’t right, it was very likely that the battle would be ignited.

“As a person, you can’t forget your roots!” Qin Mubai took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. “With my current strength and prestige, I can indeed sever the Western Regions and become king on my own. I can even build an empire that can rival the Great Tang!” But I never thought of betraying the Great Tang. I don’t want to be a thief! ”

After returning to the barracks, Qin Mubai fell asleep.

Yesterday, he first went to the “bridal chamber” and then went to see Yuan Tiangang. He had basically not slept all night. In addition, he had been marching for a few days, so he was really tired.

The general colonels didn’t dare to disturb him either. It wasn’t until dusk that a fast horse messenger from Lanzhou came to ask for Qin Mubai. Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng, the two generals accompanying Sa Mojian, dared to wake Qin Mubai up.

“A secret envoy from Lanzhou?” Qin Mubai answered in a daze. Suddenly, she woke up and sat up. “From Lanzhou?-Call!”

The secret envoy was called in and looked very familiar. It turned out to be a small school in the Xiang Province Military Manor and Pang Fei’s trusted aide.

After paying his respects, the little school hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom. Inside was a piece of oily paper.

This was Baiji’s special “secret letter” paper. It had to be soaked in a special potion to reveal the handwriting.

From this, it could be seen that what Pang Fei wanted to report was indeed a top secret matter.

Qin Mubai hurriedly took the potion and read the letter.

The letter was actually very simple. The Imperial Court urgently summoned King Wu Li Ke to return to the capital. Moreover, shortly after Qin Mubai left, Chu Suiliang was ordered to “inspect Lanzhou” and invited Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang to return to the capital. Since Qin Mubai had already led his army to the Western Regions, Princess Gao Yang had already left for the capital alone.

Qin Mubai’s eyebrows tightened in an instant.

“General Pang, do you still trust you to bring him here?” Qin Mubai asked the little school.

The little school replied, “Before leaving, General Pang said that you don’t need to worry about Lanzhou if you want to be a major general.” However, General Pang was unable to handle the matters in the court. Also, three days before the departure of the general, King Wu had already left for Lanzhou. Moreover, he was dressed in plain clothes, and even the officials of Lanzhou did not know about it. If it weren’t for King Wu visiting Princess Gao Yang and her nephew and foster daughter, even General Pang wouldn’t have known.

“The operation is actually so confidential?” Qin Mubai felt even more suspicious. “Could it be that King Wu is returning to the capital without permission? No, if he were to return to the capital without permission, why would he come to my house? That clearly smells like informing me …”

“Did King Wu leave any message?”

“Not a single word.” The little school replied, “He didn’t see His Highness Princess Gao Yang. He held the Crown Prince and Little Lou’er for fun for a while and immediately left Lanzhou. According to the people from the Young Marshal’s Mansion, he should have gone to Chang’an with less than ten people. Madam Chen felt that this matter was unusual, so she asked General Pang to report it to the Young Marshal.”

“Chen Yan has always been careful and quick-witted. Looks like King Wu is quite cautious this time. She didn’t reveal a single word to my family or Pang Fei.” Qin Mubai knitted his brows and thought for a long time before he was suddenly shocked!

“Did General Pang send someone to escort King Wu along the way?!” Qin Mubai suddenly shouted.

“General Pang saw that King Wu was intentionally hiding his whereabouts, so it was not good for him to go to the meeting,” he replied hurriedly, frightening the little school. However, one of the generals accompanying King Wu was called ‘Yin Yang’, and he seemed to be very familiar with General Pang. When King Wu went to the Major Marshal mansion, Yin Yang came to see General Pang privately. After the two of them had gathered for a short while, King Wu was about to leave. General Pang secretly sent out a 50-man Great Governor’s Manor Guard to patrol the merchant post and hunt down the escaped criminals. They traveled along the same path as King Wu and secretly protected King Wu along the way.

“Only fifty people?” Qin Mubai was a little unhappy.

“Don’t worry, Major Marshal. It’s fifty Snow Condor Army soldiers dressed as ordinary Governor-General’s Manor guards. The Snow Condor Army is one of the elites of Guanxi Army, and every single one of them is capable of blocking ten.” The little school hurriedly replied.

“Oh, that’s more like it” Qin Mubai felt a little relieved. Pang Fei had always been meticulous, and now he was getting more and more sophisticated.

The small school continued, “At the end of the day, I estimate that General Yin Yang must have made a request to General Pang for a guard, but it can’t be too obvious. That’s why General Pang arranged this. However, our troops can only escort King Wu to Huizhou at the farthest!”

“That’s right. If our troops head east and leave the viceroy’s mansion, we won’t be able to do so. That would be to secretly transfer troops and horses to plot against us!” Qin Mubai cut his back with his hand and paced back and forth, deep in thought.

He believed that King Wu Li Ke would definitely not leave his post without permission and leave Luo Xie for Chang’an. The reason why they left was definitely because of the summons of the Imperial Court, and it was also a secret summons. Otherwise, Li Ke didn’t have to be cautious like a thief, and no one dared to alarm him.

However, Li Ke seemed to be worried about the safety of his trip, so he deliberately landed in Lanzhou. He didn’t dare to ask Lanzhou for the protection of the guards, but secretly “invited” Pang Fei to send someone to escort him.

In other words, Li Ke’s trip was not simple. One was that he was extremely confidential, the other was that his mission was very important, and the third was that his life was in danger along the way!

Qin Mubai was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the Emperor had secretly summoned Li Ke back to the capital for the sake of establishing a prince? !

Great Tang, the Eastern Palace has been vacant for more than years, this is a very inappropriate thing. Now that the chaos had subsided, the Imperial Court had no other major matters to attend to, the matter of establishing a reserve would definitely resurface on the surface of the water, and there was no way to avoid it!

Although he didn’t know who Li Shimin would make the monarch, his secret call to Li Ke to return to the capital showed that Li Ke might be one of the candidates to make the monarch!

In that case, on his way back to the capital, there would be people who wanted to kill him, so it was easy to imagine! However, Li Ke couldn’t be too flashy and didn’t dare to bring too many troops with him. Therefore, he had to travel to Lanzhou to seek protection from Lanzhou.

However, Qin Mubai and Princess Gao Yang weren’t around at this time. Fortunately, Pang Fei was quite cautious in handling matters, which made Qin Mubai feel a little relieved.

The information Pang Fei sent was very important to Qin Mubai. Thinking carefully, Li Ke stopped in Lanzhou on his way back to the capital. Although it was only a flash of shock and didn’t leave a single word behind, it had already sent a very important message to Qin Mubai-“I’m going to Chang’an to gamble with my life. Take care!”

Compared to the battle over the Eastern Palace of the Great Tang, the matters of the Great Food Commander Nurman, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, and Wu Meiniang being the king were not that important.

“Someone!” Qin Mubai called out.

“The last one is here!” Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng entered the accounts together and listened to the order.

“Quickly pass on my orders to Su Dingfang on the frontlines and order him to send someone to negotiate peace with Nurman!” Qin Mubai said, “The criterion for peace is that Kang and Arabian Arabs do not respect each other, do not pay tribute to each other, and live together on equal terms. The two countries are bounded by the Sam River and will never interact with each other. Whoever dares to breach the alliance, the Great Tang will undoubtedly use up 400,000 strong troops in Kansai and attack them without end!”

“Yes!”

The two generals agreed, and the accompanying recording room quickly wrote down Qin Mubai’s military order.

“Send word to Su Dingfang that he might as well give Nurman some of the specialties of the Central Plains and the treasures of the Kang Kingdom, so that he can have a step down, so that he can explain to their Monarch when he returns.” After saying that, Qin Mubai took off a treasured saber hanging on the handsome tent and said, “This is the treasured saber that His Majesty personally bestowed upon me when I was elected a Hundred Cavalry Envoy. Give it to Nurman. Tell him that I, someone from Qin, welcome him to the Great Tang and am willing to make him a friend.”

‘”Err” Xiao and Zhu Erjiang were stunned for a moment and said, “Major Marshal, this is a treasured saber bestowed by His Majesty. You have always been carrying your beloved item with you. There is no need to use it to please Norman, right? Could it be that we are still afraid of him?”

“Don’t talk too much. Who have I and Guanxi Army ever been afraid of?” Qin Mubai glared at them coldly and said, “It’s just a matter of urgency. We don’t have time to pay attention to the Arabs anymore. We need to make the alliance and truce as soon as possible. Tell Su Dingfang that after the alliance, only the Kang army will be stationed at the Sam River Pass. Let Yuwen Hongtai and him lead their troops back to Samoa as soon as possible and meet me!”

“Yes!” The second general’s expression immediately became solemn. At the same time, his heart trembled. Major Marshal was gathering Guanxi Army’s troops. Could it be that there would be a big war in the near future? !

“Don’t make wild guesses. Don’t spread false news everywhere. The messenger went to the Sam River, so he shouldn’t talk nonsense and confuse the morale of the army!” Qin Mubai said sternly, “Those who violate the order will be severely punished!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go do something!”

Xiao Zhu and the other generals left. Qin Mubai chatted with him for a while, and after understanding the situation in Lanzhou, he arranged for him to go down and rest.

Chang’an, there was finally a trace of wind.

Although Qin Mubai was thousands of kilometers away from Samojian, he could already imagine how tense and frightened the Chang’an Imperial Court was.

Back then, Li Shimin had ascended to the throne through the Black Warrior Sect’s change, killing his brother and forcing his father to do so. Feng Shui flowed to this day. On Li Ke’s return to the capital, if the Wei King of Chang’an did not do something special, then he would not be the “sinister fatty” that the Li Dao Sect spoke of!

Qin Mubai started to worry about Li Ke …
