Zhao Yefu looked at Ang Lee with eyes full of appreciation and admiration. Of course, there was also a hint of affection. Along the way, she got along with Ang Lee day and night. Every day after dinner, she patiently and meticulously taught Ang Lee the Tibetan language.
This short period of more than a month was the happiest time in Zhao Yefu's life. In Zhao Yefu's opinion, Li An moved her so much. Whether it was the valiant posture when riding a horse, the adorable look when learning the Tufan language, the calmness when encountering danger, or the confidence when secretly sending flirtatious glances, they all made her so enchanted.
Although she was the ruler of a country and had a very high status, Zhao Yefu's heart was only moved by Ang Lee. Feelings were so strange that they could not be controlled by one's will.
Naturally, Ang Lee would not ignore Zhao Yefu's enchanted look. He smiled faintly and winked at Zhao Yefu.
The scene of the two flirtatious glances was naturally seen by Zhao Wufu. This made him extremely angry, and he glared at Ang Lee fiercely.
In Zhao Wufu's view, the reason why Zhao Yefu trusted Ang Lee was that she was completely confused by Ang Lee's handsome appearance. She stubbornly believed that Ang Lee must be up to no good when he led the army into Dongnu Province.
"The Tang Army has a thousand soldiers and horses. If they enter Queen's City, I'm afraid that it will cause chaos. It's better to let them camp here, and we will provide all the food."
Zhao Wufu said, glaring at Ang Lee as if he wanted to devour Ang Lee.
Ang Lee did not want to make things difficult for Zhao Yefu, and he did not want the situation to continue to worsen. With a smile, he used his warm face to kiss Zhao Wufu's cold butt, even though it was useless.
"Fifth Uncle, don't worry. The Tang Army has strict military discipline. Without Captain Li's order, no soldier dares to move at will. No matter how many soldiers and horses the Tang Army has, it will not cause chaos."
"But for hundreds of years, the Queen's City has never allowed troops from other countries to enter. This is against the rules."
Zhao Yefu's face was a little unhappy: "Fifth Uncle, how can I not know this? The Queen's City has not allowed the soldiers and horses of other countries to enter to protect the safety of the royal family and the people. But Li Xiaowei and the soldiers and horses under his command will never threaten our Dongnu Province. I can guarantee this."
"You may know a person's face but not his heart. You must not be deceived by his appearance."
Zhao Wufu persisted.
"Enough."
It was rare for Zhao Yefu to get angry. He said seriously, "Fifth Minister, I order you to withdraw your men and horses. Let Li Xiaowei escort me into Queen City."
Zhao Wufu felt a chill in his heart. He paused for a moment, then turned around and roared, "Retreat, all of you retreat."
The archers lying in ambush on both sides heard Zhao Wufu's order and retreated from their ambush positions.
When Li An saw this, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He gave Zhao Yefu a look of admiration.
Zhao Safu smiled and walked towards the carriage. "Officer Li, let's go."
"Get ready to go."
Ang Lee waved his hand and led the soldiers and horses under his command to escort Prince Guichang to the Queen's City.
Zhao Wufu seemed to be worried about Ang Lee. He followed closely on the side of the carriage and glared at Ang Lee from time to time. That resentful look was as if Ang Lee had stolen his wife.
Ang Lee didn't quite understand why Zhao Wufu hated him so much. Was it because of Zhao Yefu? But they were uncle and nephew. It didn't seem to be because of this.
However, Ang Lee always felt that Zhao Wufu didn't seem like a bad person. A person like this who showed everything on his face usually couldn't be bad.
"Fifth Minister, I think you must have misunderstood me. I came here because …"
Ang Lee smiled and looked at Zhao Wufu respectfully.
"Humph!"
Zhao Wufu scolded angrily and then urged his horse forward. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to Ang Lee.
Ang Lee was helpless and shook his head slightly. But he happened to see Zhao Safu lift the curtain and look at him.
"Officer Li, please don't take offense. My Fifth Uncle has always been like this. He has such a temper."
Zhao Safu smiled and explained softly.
Ang Lee winked mischievously, indicating that he didn't care about Zhao Wufu's rudeness.

Queen's City, in a dark study, Ha Mi Guo stood there trembling. His head was lowered and his body was slightly trembling.
In the darkest place of the room, a middle-aged man in black was playing with a jade bracelet in his hand with his back to Ha Mi Guo. From time to time, he would raise it high and use the faint light to check the quality of the bracelet.
"Ha Mi Guo, you still have the face to come back. You seem to have forgotten what you said when you set off."
The middle-aged man's voice was extremely cold and without a trace of emotion.
Ha Mi Guo trembled and knelt on the ground. "Master, please spare me. Officer Ang Lee of the Tang Army is really powerful. I'm no match for him."
"A small officer of the Tang Army is so terrifying. What will you say if he is a general of the Tang Army?"
"Master, this Ang Lee is indeed very powerful. Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also extremely cunning. He is a very difficult person to deal with. Moreover, he has 600 elite soldiers under his command. We have too few people and can't get close to him at all."
"B * stard. You praise others and destroy your own prestige."
The middle-aged man was furious. He turned around and kicked Ha Mi Guo hard.
The mission to assassinate Zhao Safu was not completed. Moreover, almost all of the 50 most elite assassins were killed by Ha Mi Guo. How could he not be angry?
Ha Mi Guo was kicked to the ground. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and quickly got up.
"Master, the guards of the Tang Army will leave sooner or later. We have plenty of opportunities."
The middle-aged man said angrily, "Stupid. If we only wanted to kill her, we could have done it long ago. Why wait until she goes to Chang 'an City?"
Obviously, they chose the time to assassinate Zhao Safu when he was in the Tang Dynasty. The reason why they did this was to frame the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty and let the people of Dongnu Province think that their monarch was killed by the Tang Dynasty. Then, they would hate the Tang Dynasty and fight against the Tang Empire.
In this way, Dongnu Province would break away from the Tang Dynasty and turn to Tubo, becoming a part of the Tubo Empire. He would also get the promise of the Tubo Emperor and gain great benefits.
"Master, there is still a 3,000 troops of the Tang Empire's Dragon Martial Army. They are not far from the border. Ha Mi Guo took the initiative to inform the Five Ministers of this matter. He said that the Tang Army is here to cooperate with the 600 guards to annex Dongnu Province. I believe that the Five Ministers will definitely prevent the Tang Army from entering Queen's City."
"3,000 Dragon Martial Army? Ha Mi Guo, how did you know?"
The middle-aged man frowned deeply, looking a little frightened.
"Master, Ha Mi Guo's actions have failed twice. He felt very uneasy, so he followed the Tang Army all the way and was looking for another opportunity to kill them. But he accidentally found this Dragon Martial Army."
"3,000 Dragon Martial Army, a total of 3,000. It seems that the problem is complicated again."
The middle-aged man frowned worriedly, looking a little restless.
"Master, the Emperor of the Tang Empire sent so many troops. I'm afraid that he wants to deter us from getting too close to Tubo."
The middle-aged man nodded gently and said softly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is afraid of losing Dongnu Province. However, even if more Tang Army comes, our plan cannot be stopped. I have already promised the Tubo Emperor. I can't go back on my word."
"Master, what should we do next?"
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed fiercely: "Kill with a borrowed knife."
"Kill with a borrowed knife?"
Ha Mi Guo was slightly taken aback. He didn't understand what his master meant.
The middle-aged man gently waved his hand and let Ha Mi Guo come closer. He then whispered a few words in his ear.
Ha Mi Guo nodded repeatedly and immediately went to carry out the order.

In the evening, Ang Lee escorted Prince Guichang and arrived at Queen's City.
Zhao Shifu lifted the curtain and looked at the valley in the distance. He said excitedly: "Captain Li, this is Queen's City. We have arrived."
"Queen's City? This is Queen's City?"
Ang Lee was greatly surprised.
In front of him was a large valley. In this valley, there were densely packed houses. In the place where the houses were the densest, there was a square city. This was, without a doubt, the Queen's City. Around the valley, on the mountainside, there were layers of terraced fields. It looked quite spectacular and gave people a kind of beautiful enjoyment.
"Prince Guichang, is this valley Beauty Valley?"
Ang Lee asked intoxicatedly.
"Yes, this is Beauty Valley. The girls in Dongnu Province are all very beautiful. The most beautiful girls are in Beauty Valley."
Ang Lee smiled faintly: "The most beautiful girls should be around me."
"Loquacious."
Zhao Shifu knew that Ang Lee was talking about her, so he reprimanded softly.
The group continued to move forward. When they passed by several villages, the men and women of Dongnu Province all curiously stood on both sides of the road, watching the mighty and majestic Tang dynasty's Dragon Martial Army pass by their villages.
Ang Lee rode on a tall horse and casually looked left and right. The girls in Dongnu Province were really beautiful, especially the beautiful ones. There were quite a few. No wonder this valley was called Beauty Valley. It turned out that all the people living here were delicate and beautiful.
A place nurtured a place's people. The scenery of Beauty Valley was very pleasant, and the girls nourished by it were naturally beautiful.
The Beauty Valley here was in the same location as the Beauty Valley in the future. The Beauty Valley in the future was also a place rich in beauties.
In order to see the beauty of the beauties, tourists from all over the world went to Beauty Valley, which brought great economic benefits to this area.
In his previous life, Ang Lee had not been to Beauty Valley in person. However, through the media of the Internet, he still had some basic understanding of the terrain of Beauty Valley. However, perhaps because of the vicissitudes of time, the Beauty Valley he saw at this time seemed to be somewhat different from the Beauty Valley in the photos of the future, especially the difference in the number of watchtowers.
In the photos of the future, at most, there were a few sporadic watchtowers with five or six floors. In the valley in front of him, there were watchtowers everywhere, especially the watchtower where Prince Guichang lived. It had nine floors and looked straight into the sky. It was quite magnificent.
"Crack!"
When they arrived at the east gate of the Queen's City, a flag of the Dragon Martial Army was suddenly broken by a strong wind.
