How could Ang Lee not understand Xi Yu's painstaking efforts? Today, most of the people in Dongnu Province did not know enough about the Tang Dynasty, let alone the foreign policies of the Tang Dynasty. Using the word "ignorant" to describe the people of Dongnu Province was the most appropriate word.
Ignorant people were the easiest to listen to rumors. If someone with ulterior motives instilled negative opinions about the Tang Dynasty into them, these people would most likely believe it and gradually hate the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts. This would naturally be very disadvantageous to the Tang Dynasty.
What Xi Yu wanted to do was to personally walk among the people of Dongnu Province as a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to use his actions to tell the people of Dongnu Province that the Tang Dynasty was a friendly country and that the Tang Dynasty and Dongnu Province had been friendly neighbors for generations. This would dispel the people of Dongnu Province's doubts about the Tang Dynasty and improve their good impression of the Tang Empire.
This was part of the Tang Dynasty's conspiracy to crush Tibet. Ang Lee could only agree to Xi Yu's request and said that he would do his best to protect the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
After returning to his room, Li Fei, Shouyu, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu all saw the worry on Ang Lee's face.
"They're fine. What happened?"
"Assistant Minister Xi plans to divide the troops into three groups and go to different places. But I'm worried that this will be very disadvantageous to our protection."
Ang Lee said worriedly.
"Big Brother, Erniu and Guangcheng both have missions. Only the three of us can protect these three groups of officials."
"That's right, Big Brother. The three of us will each be responsible for one group. We can definitely ensure their safety."
Ang Lee nodded slightly. "It seems that this is the only way. Shouyu, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu, the task of protecting the officials of the Tang Dynasty this time will be handed to the three of you."
"Don't worry."
The three of them nodded in response.
After that, Ang Lee continued to take out the map and study the possible routes of the Tibetans once they started to use force.
Early the next morning, the three groups of officials of the Tang Dynasty, escorted by Shouyu, Li Kunxiong, and Li Feiyu respectively and some officials of Dongnu Province as guides, headed in different directions outside of Queen City.
........... Xi Yu had made up his mind to let the people of Dongnu Province know about the Tang Dynasty................................... Dongnu Province. Dongnu Province Province.. and..............
Li An had originally planned to personally protect Xi Yu, but the situation in Queen's City was unclear. After much consideration, he decided to stay and oversee the city, in case anything happened to Prince Gui Chang.
"Officer Li, there was a young master outside the door just now. After he handed this letter to me, he left."
A soldier of the Dragon Martial Army walked in and handed the letter to Li An.
. Ang Lee waved his hand to dismiss the soldier and immediately opened the letter.
"He wants me to meet him at Nu 'er Restaurant. Who is he and where is Nu' er Restaurant?"
The content of the letter was very short. It only asked Ang Lee to meet him at Nu 'er Restaurant. The signature was blank and seemed very mysterious.
Ang Lee paced around the room. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to take the risk. After all, if he didn't even meet him, how would he know who the other party was?
Of course, even if Ang Lee took the risk, he would be well prepared and secretly arrange some people.
After asking around, Ang Lee found out that Nu 'er Restaurant was the largest restaurant in Queen City. There was a lot of people coming and going. Naturally, his sense of security increased a little.
With five bodyguards and twenty secret guards, Li An went to the Daughter's Brothel to meet this mysterious man.
Since it was a restaurant, there was naturally no lack of people drinking. As soon as Ang Lee entered Nu 'er Restaurant, he saw that the hall was filled with people who reeked of alcohol. This made Ang Lee feel quite disgusted.
"Captain Li, the guest on the second floor has been waiting for a long time."
The restaurant's Wine Master smiled as he walked towards Ang Lee.
"Lead the way."
The Wine Master nodded and led the way.
Ang Lee and the five guards followed the Wine Master to the second floor.
"Captain Li, this is the room."
Ang Lee waved his hand and had the Wine Master leave. He also had the five guards stand outside.
Creak.
Li An pushed the door open and entered the room. He saw the face of a middle-aged Langjun. The man's face was flushed, and there was wisdom hidden in his eyes. At first glance, Li An knew that he was not a simple person. Other than the middle-aged Langjun, there was only a table of food and wine in the room.
"Captain Li, I've heard a lot about you. Please, have a seat."
Seeing Ang Lee come in, the middle-aged Langjun invited him warmly.
Ang Lee looked around vigilantly and felt very surprised. He didn't know this person at all. Why did he invite him so warmly?
As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. The middle-aged Langjun invited him to drink for no reason. Maybe he was up to something.
Li An cursed in his heart, but there was a slight smile on his face.
"How should I address you, Langjun? I don't think we know each other."
The middle-aged Langjun smiled and said, "I'm a businessman from Nanzhao. My surname is Mu, and my name is Yangguo. I do business in Nanzhao, Dongnu, and Tubo all year round. I often come to Nu 'er Restaurant."
"Oh, you're Mu Langjun."
Ang Lee nodded slowly and asked, "You're a businessman from Nanzhao, and I'm a general from the Tang dynasty. We don't seem to have any connection. There's a saying in the Tang dynasty that one should not take a reward for nothing. I can't eat your meal for free, can I?"
"Hahaha, Captain Li is really straightforward. It's just a meal. It's not worth mentioning. I admire Captain Li very much. It's not a big deal to treat you to a meal every day."
The middle-aged Langjun was full of smiles and seemed to be very enthusiastic.
Admire your ass. I have nothing to do with you. What's there to admire? I have another purpose.
Ang Lee wouldn't naively believe that this person really admired him and invited him here. It was even more impossible for a businessman who didn't get up early without benefits.
Since this person was so enthusiastic to him, he couldn't treat him coldly. Ang Lee smiled and said, "You're too polite. I'm just a martial artist. I'm very vulgar. There's nothing to admire. However, I think that you invited me here for more than just admiration."
Mu Yangguo grinned and said, "Captain Li is really smart. In addition to admiring Captain Li, I also have some small things to ask Captain Li. I hope Captain Li can enlighten me."
"Go ahead, Captain Mu."
"Captain Li has been protecting the King of Dongnu Province all the way. Everything that happened, as well as Captain Li's military exploits in Yuzhou of the Tang dynasty, I already know. It's not an exaggeration to say that Captain Li's ability is both intelligent and brave. Also, Captain Li's verbal battle with the Foreign Minister of Dongnu Province is even more admirable. Releasing the assassin shows Captain Li's broad mind. Such an all-round talent is comparable to the Prime Minister of a country. It's really a pity that Captain Li is consigned to the lowly position of Captain."
Mu Yangguo looked regretful and observed the changes in Ang Lee's expression.
When Ang Lee heard this, his expression changed slightly. Being praised, he was naturally happy. However, his current position was too low and was not commensurate with his ability. It was inevitable that he would feel disappointed. However, this psychological reaction only existed for a moment. Soon, Ang Lee's expression returned to normal.
However, the moment when Ang Lee's expression changed, Mu Yangguo happened to see it in his eyes. This made him very excited and continued to say, "Captain Li has such a high ability, but he is only a Captain. It's really a waste of talent. I am not related to Captain Li, but I also feel injustice for Captain Li in my heart."
Seeing Mu Yangguo in front of him feeling injustice for him, Ang Lee's heart suddenly became vigilant. In his opinion, this person's purpose was not simple. Maybe he was holding back something bad, and the biggest possibility was to shake his loyalty to the Emperor of the Tang dynasty.
"Captain Mu even knows about the things in Yuzhou. It's really not simple. I think Captain Mu should not be as simple as a businessman."
Ang Lee frowned and looked at Mu Yangguo.
Mu Yangguo's expression was slightly sluggish, and then he smiled and said, "I am indeed a businessman. It's just that I have a wide range of interests, and I especially like to inquire about all kinds of major events in the world. I made a fool of myself in front of Captain Li."
Ang Lee smiled faintly. He was completely sure that Mu Yangguo in front of him was not a pure businessman. A normal businessman would only be interested in the pursuit of interests, but the person in front of him was obviously not.
"Mu Langjun, you might not know this, but my Great Tang is filled with talents. A talent like this one can only be a captain."
Mu Yangguo shook his head gently. "Captain Li, you think I don't know the Tang dynasty, but you don't know that I know all the famous generals of the Tang dynasty. With Captain Li's ability, you are completely superior to the general. Captain Li has the talent to be the Prime Minister."
"Even if I have the talent to be the Prime Minister, so what? I am still a little Captain."
Ang Lee pretended to be disappointed, but in fact, he was testing Mu Yangguo.
Mu Yangguo didn't care whether Ang Lee was testing him or not, and said straightforwardly, "There is a saying in the Tang Empire that a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. Han Xin was just a small halberd holder under Xiang Yu, but under Liu Bang, he became a Marshal who commanded the three armies. Later, he was even conferred the title of King Chu. It can be said that he was extremely glorious, and Captain Li's talent is not inferior to Han Xin's."
This was a blatant inducement. He wanted Ang Lee to betray the Tang dynasty and join the arms of another country.
"Captain Mu, be careful of your words. Be careful of the blade at my waist."
Ang Lee stared at Mu Yangguo.
Mu Yangguo knew that Ang Lee wouldn't really do it, so he continued, "I have been doing business all year round, and I know the Tufan Zangpu. This person is thirsty for talents. If a talent like Captain Li joins him, he will definitely confer the position of Great Scholar, which is equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Tang dynasty."
Ang Lee suddenly got up, slammed the table, and angrily said, "You are actually a lobbyist for Tufan. I, Ang Lee, am a man of the Tang dynasty. Life and death, I am a man of the Tang dynasty. How can I betray my master for glory and join foreign thieves? Not to mention Great Scholar, even if Zangpu abdicates, I, Ang Lee, don't care."
"Bang!"
