Cheng Chumo touched his nose and said, "I finally caught you after guarding all night."

Li Tai quickly explored Tanlu Dongzan's breath, "Fortunately, he was knocked out and he was not dead."

"Yes, Chumo, his skills are so sophisticated. He has done a lot of things to knock on the sticks."

Cheng Chumo smiled, "I just squeezed it out with slap. This is the first time I've been hitting the stick."

That's right, Li Zheng thought to himself, do your Cheng family still need to hit the scoundrel?

In the palace

Li Shimin already knew about Lu Dongzan's disappearance in the inn.

Li Chongyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the inn did not see Lu Dongzan leaving, but he had sent people from leading guards to find him."

Li Junxian came to report: "Your Majesty, it has been found that a Tubo man left Chang'an City early this morning. This is the road guide."

Li Shimin took the pass and looked at it. The one on it said was the deputy envoy of Tubo.

Li Junxian continued: "When we checked the Lu Yin, there was a missing Lu Yin with the deputy envoy. Lu Dongzan's Lu Yin is still there. It seems that Lu Dongzan secretly left the city with the deputy envoy's Lu Yin."

Lu Yin is a proof of a person's departure from his hometown and his origin, and it is also a symbol of identity.

Especially those who are far away from their hometowns are particularly important.

Once something happens, if there is no way, it is easy to be punished.

In this era when transportation basically relies on travel, communication basically relies on yelling, and even some places rely on public security basically relies on dogs.

If you cannot prove that there is a way to lead or someone else to prove your identity, you will easily be regarded as a thief or refugee.

If the government wants to arrest you, you can arrest you first.

This is also the reason why so many refugees around Chang'an were unable to enter Chang'an City before.

The palace is already preparing for a palace banquet. What does Lu Dongzan mean to sneak out of the city like this?

Li Shimin whispered: "Go and find out where the person is."

"Here."

It is not difficult to find a Tubo person, but he can't hide his accent alone.

After a while, someone came to report that a eunuch came and said with a parchment scroll: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, asked someone to send a piece of goods, saying that it was related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty."

The eunuch spread the parchment roll in front of Li Shimin.

Looking at the dense Tubo texts on it, Li Shimin asked in confusion again: "What are the words on it?"

The eunuch handed over another copy and said, "Your Majesty, this is a translation."

Li Shimin took it and looked at it for a while.

In the quiet Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin asked: "Is Lu Dongzan really the situation of border defense?"

It is related to the border defense of the Tang Dynasty, and this is not a small matter.

Li Shimin summoned several bachelors who were familiar with Tubo scripts.

After several comparisons, the translation sent by Li Tai was basically correct.

Li Shimin angrily slapped the table, "Good you Lu Dongzan! What is the intention of Tubo!"

"Come on!" Li Shimin shouted angrily: "Catch Lu Dongzan back to Chang'an, don't let him leave Yumen Pass!"

Outside Chang'an City

He took Lu Dongzan to a thatched hut outside the city, and Li Ke took a basin of water to pour it down.

Cold water was poured on his face, and Lu Dongzan opened his eyes like a corpse-like man.

Just as he was about to stand up, he was knocked to the ground by Cheng Chumo with a punch.

Li Zheng walked up to Lu Dongzan and smiled and said, "Lu Dongzan, you didn't expect that, actually I am also a part-time bandit. Isn't it a particularly surprising?"

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and got up, "Li Zheng! Why are you arresting me?"

"I am a bandit. What else can I do if I catch you?" After Li Zheng said that, he took out all the silver cakes from Lu Dongzan's bag and put them in his arms.

"What do you think you should do when you leave the city early in the morning? Do you think we are not well-received or are we not accommodating in the Tang Dynasty?"

Lu Dongzan stared at Li Zheng, Cheng Chumo and others, "I will definitely tell you His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, your atrocities."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Do you know what you did? Do you really think we didn't see that letter?"

Cheng Chumo said coldly: "If we hadn't intercepted it halfway, would you have sent all the news to Songzan Gampo?"

"Lu Dongzang, you are so calculating. We, Datang, treat you well as a guest. You are so calculating us in secret."

Lu Dongzan stood up and said, "You kill me!"

"It's a good idea to kill you."

Li Zheng said to Lu Dongzan: "Don't think about leaving this time, just stay in Chang'an. As for you Tubo... let Songzan Gampo ask for blessings for yourself."

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "One day, our Tubo will definitely invade Chang'an!"

Li Zheng and his group left after tied up Lu Dongzan here.

"Li Zheng! You won't have a good ending!"

………

Cheng Chumo led a group of officers and soldiers to take Lu Dongzan away.

Lu Dongzan was taken to Dali Temple to be tried.

Li Shimin had another idea about Tubo.

The banquet in the palace began to be held as usual.

A few days later, Fu Ni, the envoy of Tuyuhun, came to Jingyang with a few people.

When he saw Li Zheng, Fu Ni bowed and said, "I know what happened in the court recently. I didn't expect that Lu Dong's praising him is a ill-intentioned person. Fortunately, he was discovered by the county marquis in time. The county marquis looked like a pearl, and I admired him."

Li Zheng said in surprise: "Brother Fu is very informative. Such things cannot escape your eyes. You will know so quickly. I said! Are you Tuyuhun placed in the undercover agent of our Tang Dynasty? Do you also want to do the same thing as Lu Dongzan?"

"How dare you?" Fu Ni waved his hands repeatedly.

"The Lu Dongzan incident has not been reported now. If too many people know, it will be a bad end. After all, this matter is related to the layout of you and me and the Tubo three parties. If something goes wrong..."

Fu Ni hurriedly said, "I will naturally understand this principle. I am very sincere to the Tang Dynasty and will never do that kind of thing."

Li Zheng smiled strangely and said, "What do you know? People's hearts are separated from their belly. Lu Dongzan was hit by us, but now Lu Dongzan's trick has been broken by us. I am afraid that things between us and Tubo will not be good in the future."

Fu Ni nodded too.

"But don't worry, you Tuyuhun can fight with peace of mind, our Tang Dynasty will never take action."

Fu Ni: "…"

Another salute, Fu Ni said, "Actually, I came here to say goodbye this time, and I also want to introduce a few people to the county marquis."

After saying that, Fu Ni turned around and looked at the three people behind him, "The three of them are envoys from Japan. Because they are not familiar with the Tang Dynasty, they specially asked me to introduce them to the county marquis."

"I have met the Marquis of Jingyang County!" The three Japanese saluted together.

Li Zheng looked unhappy and pulled Fu Ni to the side and said, "Brother Fu is yours. You said you are planning to leave. What do you mean by asking a few Japanese people to come over and disgust me?"
