"Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop!"
In the quiet palace, the crisp sound of a warhorse's hooves tore through the silence of the night.
As soon as the warhorse came out of Li Shimin's stable, it hurriedly held up a token, passed through various large and small doors, and disappeared into the darkness of Chang 'an City.
On the outer wall of Honglu Temple.
Three men in sheepskin shirts narrowed their eyes and stared at the galloping horse thoughtfully.
"Brother Sauk, why did this horse … go out at this time? Did something go wrong with our plan? "
In the darkness, a burly man looked at Chang 'an City in the distance and asked a thin man beside him.
The man was very thin, but his arms were unusually long. His palms were also unusual. They were twice the size of an adult's, like a palm-leaf fan.
The man narrowed his triangular eyes and glanced at Chang 'an City. Then, like an ape, he climbed between the houses of Honglu Temple. After a while, he appeared in a room with an oil lamp still on.
After a while, the other two men returned to the room.
One of them was a burly man with a sallow face. He had a horn dagger at his waist and a large wine sack hanging from his neck. He was a Turkic.
The other man was a Tubo man named Sauk. He wore similar clothes, but his headdress was different from Sauk's.
He was a Tuyuhun expert named Gokopi.
At this time, Sauk was playing with a dagger in his hand.
"This matter may have nothing to do with our plan. If there's nothing else, Backett, I hope you can keep your mouth shut! You should know how serious this matter is. Although we're not sure if the people of the Tang Dynasty can start a war, if we push them too far, we'll be in trouble! "
"You worry too much!"
"Didn't Zhenla, that dog fart King Zhenla, flee to the Great Tang in fear? I think if King Zhen La is not a fool, his army of three hundred thousand must be here to take a share of the Tang Dynasty! "
"Three hundred thousand?"
Geko Geko Pi laughed disdainfully.
"He's such a coward. I think if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew about this, the first person he would kill would be his father. Otherwise, why would he be grounded by Li Shimin?"
"Don't ever mention this again!"
Sauk glanced at the two of them with a cold expression.
"If anything goes wrong, I believe that your Khan and the Mun King will tear your tendons and skin you alive!"
When the two of them heard this, they awkwardly stopped mentioning this matter.
"I don't know what the higher-ups have arranged. Why are they so cautious about the Tang Dynasty? Wouldn't it be easy for the four of us to conquer the Tang Dynasty?"
At this moment.
A young man in a purple robe silently appeared in the room through the window.
When the people saw this person, they hurriedly bowed.
"Little Prince!"
The young man lay on the chair with his legs on the table and asked, "What's the horse that just went out for? Did you find out? "
"I … haven't found out yet!"
The three of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak. Even their bodies couldn't help shaking.
The young man in the purple robe looked at them playfully.
"Forget it. It's not important. I've already dealt with the person. He's a messenger who went to Longyou Road to deliver a letter. The dog emperor wants to eat locusts' eggs in the middle of the night. He's really stupid!"
"Okay, you can leave now. Continue to monitor every movement in the imperial city. Don't touch King Zhen La for the time being. Now the security there is tight. Even I can't get in!"
"Yes!"
What could they say?
What else could they say?
At this time, they had no choice but to agree.
This person was Xieli's eldest son, the future Khan of the Turks. How could they dare to offend him?
They left embarrassedly.
However, they didn't know that they were in the Tang Dynasty!
And they were in the deepest part of the Tang Dynasty, the Honglu Temple, which was specially used to receive foreign guests. Their every move and everything that happened just now had been secretly recorded in a small notebook by the palace experts hiding in the dark.
As for the person who just went out.
He was a prisoner on death row.
He was just a puzzle sent to them.
If Li Shimin couldn't even think of this, he wouldn't be Li Shimin.
After a while.
In Li Shimin's bedroom, Wei Shuyu knocked on the door of Li Shimin's room.
"Your Majesty, it's done!"
"It's just as Your Majesty expected!"
Li Shimin didn't even open the door. He looked at Zhang Feng's calligraphy and wrote something on a piece of rice paper. Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression didn't change. He said lightly, "Send an order. Keep a close watch on the Honglu Temple. Their every move must be reported at any time. Even if their servants go out, where they go and who they come into contact with, they must be reported to me as soon as possible!"
Wei Shuyu was silent for a moment.
She asked, "Your Majesty, what if they go out in the middle of the night?"
Li Shimin said lightly, "Kill them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, the people who go to Longyou can set off now. Let the people in Longyou chop the waterwheel! There's no need to hide this matter. It's best to let the whole world know! "
Wei Shuyu trembled all over.
She hurriedly accepted the order. "Yes, Your Majesty!"
