Seeing this, Eunuch Zan had no choice but to pull Cheng Chumo, who was standing on the side, to block the brocade box from facing Li Er. As for Cheng Chumo being the young master of Lu Guogong's family, that was out of his consideration.

After all, this brocade box was presented by Cheng Chumo, and if there is no problem, it will be fine. If there is really a problem, even if Lu Guogong is here in person, he will not be able to escape the charge of treason and regicide.

Cheng Chumo, who was pulled to stand in front of Li Er, felt his heart collapsed at this moment, and had to pray in his heart that the brocade box was really just a painting as Li Mu said.

Eunuch Zan carefully untied the ribbon tied on the brocade box, and nervously opened the lid of the brocade box, with a cautious look, as if a hidden weapon would fly out from inside at any moment.

When the lid of the entire brocade box was lifted, Eunuch Zan heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the contents clearly, turned around and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty is indeed a scroll of paintings."

After hearing Eunuch Zan's reply, Cheng Chumo finally opened his eyes, and when he saw a scroll of Zhang Xu lying in the brocade box, he smiled happily and said, "I'll just say, brother Mu won't harm us, After all, he is also the brother who drank together and climbed over the wall."

At this time, Li Er had already come to the front, saw the painting scroll in the brocade box, and seeing such a long scroll painting lying inside, he suddenly ordered out of curiosity, "Open it for me."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat and watched Eunuch Zan and others take out the painting scroll from the brocade box.

As the scroll was slowly unfolded by Eunuch Zan and others, a huge map of Central Asia and Europe was slowly displayed in front of Li Er.

This huge map shocked everyone present, and Li Er was so emotional that he stood up again and came to the map.

It was the first time for Li Er to see the territory of the Tang Dynasty so clearly, and it was also the first time he realized that the Tang Dynasty was just an oddity for the land drawn on this map.

After raising his eyes, he saw the name "Splendid Mountains and Rivers Map" named for this map above.

Li Er nodded unconsciously, thinking that the name was very appropriate for this painting, after waving his hand to let Eunuch Zan spread the huge map on the ground.

Li Er took off his boots and stepped on the map wearing only winter socks.

Li Er, who stepped on the map, seemed to be in the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty. Walking back and forth, it was as if he was patrolling his own country.

Looking at the territory that does not belong to the Great Tang, he frowned slightly and said to himself: "The Great Tang is still too small, here and here should all become the red color of the Great Tang."

After finishing speaking, Li Er casually stepped on the places that did not belong to the Tang Dynasty on the map, and suddenly asked Cheng Chumo: "Shou Shanbo, besides asking you to present this beautiful map of mountains and rivers, is there anything else? "

Li Er remembered that Cheng Chumo said that after Li Mu handed over the painting, he went to chase after the envoys. There must be a connection.

Cheng Chumo, whose mind was all on the map, after hearing Li Er's inquiry, blurted out what Li Mu told him without thinking at all, and repeated it again.

When Cheng Chumo finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire Ganlu Palace froze instantly.

"presumptuous!"

Suddenly, Eunuch Zan yelled angrily, startling Cheng Chumo. He was about to curse when he saw Li Er's uncertain expression, and instantly knew that he must have said something wrong just now.

Quickly kneel down on one knee and plead guilty.

At this time, Li Er's mind was still haunted by Li Mu's words, and his anger and emotion were all contained in them.

After a long time, Li Er waved all the people in the hall to retreat.

Only Li Er's Ganlu Hall looked so dark, and the cold winter wind outside the hall, he stood alone on the map and looked at the vast and boundless land under his feet.

Recalling what Li Mu said, Li Er said to himself, "Where is Uncle Shoushan now?"

I don't know when a man in black appeared behind Li Er, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Shou Shanbo killed all the Tubo envoys at the Baqiao post station except Lu Dongzan. Now I have left Chang'an with the Tubo envoy Lu Dongzan, and it is estimated that I am going in the direction of Yumen Pass, will your Majesty chase him back?"

After thinking for a long time, Li Er said: "No need, I really want to see what will happen next, maybe I shouldn't marry Princess Wencheng to Tubo."

Not only Li Er knew about Li Mu's killing of the Tubo envoy on the Baqiao, but basically the entire Chang'an City knew about it within a short time.

After all, when Li Mu killed someone, he never considered what to cover up.

Excluding the four daughters of Mei'er in Shoushanbo's mansion, after hearing the news that Li Mu killed people on the Baqiao, the four daughters were full of worries.

The eldest grandson Wugou who lived in Huangzhuang outside the city also heard the news, which made her put down the embroidery in her hand with the picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water in surprise.

After she regained her composure, she said softly to You Lan, "I never thought that this fellow would be a sentimental person. He would dare to do such a thing for a woman. Xueyan is a lucky girl."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ayu who was beside him and thought for a while, then said, "Ayu, let the palace send people to invite them later, let them go back."

"Let's just say that Huangzhuang Bengong lives comfortably, and I don't want to go back to the palace anymore."

"Obey, ma'am." Ayu Wanfu said.

...

At this time, Li Mu had already taken Lu Dongzan with him, and after a day of horse riding, he had already left Chang'an City for more than 400 miles.

Chapter 163 A Thousand Miles Riding Alone

Parking the horse outside the station, Lu Dongzan had already woken up after a day of jolting on the horse's back, and he was swaying on the horse's back as if he was paralyzed. ?????????. ?ranen`

This is because of the collision between the stomach and the horse's back for a long time, Lu Dongzan has no spirit at all.

After Li Mu got off his horse and untied Lu Dongzan, he obviously felt the other party breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Mu smiled when he saw Lu Dongzan who seemed to have been reborn, even if Lu Dongzan called himself a Tubo warrior, he would feel uncomfortable being bumped like a pig on this horse for a day.

What's more, Lu Dongzan was also the Prime Minister of Tubo in Tubo, second only to Songtsan Gampo. It can be said that he was a nobleman among the nobles in Tubo, so he never suffered from such ups and downs.

Lu Dongzan's eyes were full of doubts after recovering from his strenuous effort. He never figured out where this Tang man in front of him had the courage to go to Tubo alone.

"Don't look at it, go in, if you don't want me to tie you up again." Li Mu stretched out his foot and kicked Lu Dongzan's ass.

Feeling ashamed, Lu Dongzan looked at Li Mu angrily and threatened, "I am the Prime Minister of Tubo, you can't insult me ​​like this."

"Snapped"

Li Mu kicked at the place just now, and said without cutting, "I know, if I didn't want you to see how I changed Tubo's will, I would have dealt with you on the Baqiao, and it would take so much trouble." ?”

"You." The threatened Lu Dongzan pointed at Li Mu.

"What are you? I'll cut off your tongue if you keep talking." Li Mu lifted up his cloak to reveal the three sabers on his left chest.

Seeing this situation, Lu Dongzan thought of Li Mu's great display of power on the Baqiao. More than a dozen Tubo warriors couldn't help him. In addition, he hadn't eaten that day, and he was exhausted from being tossed on horseback, so he had no choice but to Push open the door of the station.

After entering the inn, the world inside is completely different from the world outside. With the barrier of two doors, the cold wind outside loses its direction.

The coldness brought in by the sudden opening of the originally warm station made Yi Cheng instantly notice the two people who walked in, Li Mu.

After seeing Li Mu's attire, especially when he noticed the jade pendant hanging around his waist, Yi Cheng knew that he was a nobleman.

"I don't know what orders this nobleman has?" As a post station operated by the government, the most important function is to provide food and lodging for people who pass on palace documents and military information, or for officials to and from officials, and a place to change horses.

Another point is that all the expenses of the post station are free, and they are all borne by the government itself.

After seeing Yi Cheng, Li Mu gave the seal representing his title to the other party for inspection, and said: "Prepare me a room, I will rest here tonight."

After checking Li Mu's seal letter, Yi Cheng respectfully handed the seal letter back and said respectfully: "My lord, let's go down and get ready."
