Envoys, Team Annihilation!
Lu Qing and the others quickly arrived at the relay station.
However, as soon as he arrived at the relay station, he was informed by the guard,""Milord, the envoy of Tuyuhun left at dawn and returned to Tuyuhun.”
"What is it? He left?"
Han Min fiercely looked at Lu Qing and said,""Lord Shaoqing, this…After listening to Lord Shaoqing's words, this lowly official still felt that this assassination wasn't done by them. But now, this lowly official feels that perhaps it was done by them.”
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes.
What a coincidence.
He had just left in the morning when an assassination happened.
And the assassin was carrying a spiderweb token.
This time, not to mention Han Min, even he himself began to doubt his own judgment.
Perhaps the people of Tuyuhun were really that stupid?
"Do you know which path they took?”Lu Qing asked the guard.
There were two roads from Chang 'an to Tuyuhun. He was going to send people to chase after them.
It didn't matter if they were the ones who did the assassination or not. There must be something wrong with them leaving so coincidentally.
The guard shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Lu Qing frowned. It would be troublesome if he didn't know. Those two paths were in two different directions. Once he made a mistake, he really couldn't chase them back.
"Perhaps, I can tell Lord Shaoqing of the Supreme Court.”
At this moment, a voice with a strange accent sounded.
Lu Qing turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was wearing a Tibetan official robe. His eyes were filled with doubt.
Tibetan?
Is he also an envoy?
Lu Qing was only concerned about the case and had no idea about these things.
However, this Tibetan was very tactful. He bowed to Lu Qing and said,"I am the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan. I have been hearing the legend of Lord Lu Shaoqing these days.”
"Lu Dongzan?"
Lu Qing's eyes flickered.
This name was like thunder in his ears.
Lu Qing had heard of this name before he transmigrated.
Lu Dongzan was the most famous person in Tibet, other than Songzan Gambo.
Famous for its wisdom.
He was the Great Minister of Tubo, which was equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Great Tang.
The history books of the Great Tang all said that he was calm, brave, and resourceful.
For a foreign Great Minister to be able to leave his name in the annals of the Great Tang, this in itself meant that he was not simple.
"So it's the Great Minister of Tubo.”Lu Qing cupped his hands in return.
Lu Dongzan smiled and said," I heard Lord Lu Qing asking about the direction of the envoy Tuyuhun. Perhaps I can help Lord Shaoqing."”
"Oh? Great Minister knows?"
Lu Dongzan nodded." I happened to hear them at the relay station this morning. They said they would leave through the official road in the east."”
"The official road in the east?"
Lu Qing immediately knew which way it was.
He smiled at Lu Dongzan and said,""This time, it's all thanks to Great Minister. If Great Minister didn't happen to know, or if he didn't happen to hear this official's question and happened to tell this official, perhaps this official really would have missed it.”
Lu Dongzan didn't seem to understand what Lu Qing meant. He just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this moment, a guard ran over with a panicked expression.
When he saw Han Min, he quickly whispered something into her ear.
Han Min, who was originally laughing foolishly, suddenly changed her expression when she heard this.
He quickly gave Lu Qing a look.
Lu Qing cupped his hands at Lu Dongzan and turned around, saying,""What's wrong?"
Han Min's expression was a little bad. She lowered her voice and said," Someone just came to report that dozens of corpses were found on the official road outside Chang 'an. They found travel passes and other things beside the corpses. They found that the dead bodies were the envoys of Tuyuhun.”
Lu Qing's pupils constricted and his eyes widened.
"Are you sure?"
"No," Han Min nodded."The guards wouldn't have reported this."”
Lu Qing pursed his lips and said,"Let's go to the crime scene."”
After taking a few quick steps, he suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at the entrance of the relay station.
However, there were only guards left there. The Tubo Great Minister Lu Dongzan had already disappeared.
Lu Qing took a deep look at the relay station. He did not stay any longer. He immediately mounted his horse and quickly left with Han Min.
An hour later, the horses stopped.
Lu Qing and the others quickly jumped off their horses and walked forward. They saw the tragic scene.
The carriage overturned and the horse overturned.
On the official road, dozens of corpses lay in a mess.
Everyone had many wounds on their bodies. It seemed that a chaotic battle had taken place.
However, they did not know who was trying to kill them.
"How long has he been dead?" Lu Qing asked the coroner.
" They died about two to four hours ago," the coroner said." They all had knife wounds on their bodies. On average, there were four or five knife wounds on their bodies. Basically, they were all fatal."”
"All knife wounds?"
Lu Qing could not help but think of the assassins who had just tried to assassinate him. They seemed to have used knives as well.
"Between two to four hours, which means that they were ambushed and killed when they left Chang 'an and arrived here.”
"Who reported it?" Lu Qing asked.
A commoner in his thirties was brought over.
The commoner said," Your Excellency, I was going to Chang 'an to sell some goods today. When I passed by here, I found these corpses. I was shocked and quickly went to Chang' an to report to the government. I don't know anything else. These people's deaths have nothing to do with me."”
" Don't be nervous," Lu Qing comforted." No one suspects you."”
Only then did the commoner feel a little more at ease.
"When you saw these corpses, were there other people nearby?" Lu Qing asked. Or did he notice anything unusual?”
The man shook his head.”
"Are there any differences between the current condition of these corpses and when you found them?”Lu Qing asked again.
The commoners thought for a moment and suddenly said,"It seems…the number is a little small."”
"There are fewer?"
"What's going on?" Lu Qing asked.”
"I remember that there were more people who died at that time, and there were even people in black. But now, there are no more people in black."”
Lu Qing raised his head abruptly and exchanged a glance with Han Min.
Han Min quickly sent someone to investigate.
"There's not a single man in black," Han Min said.”
"Besides that, we also discovered something else.”
"What?" Lu Qing asked.
"One person is missing." Han Min said.
"One person is missing?"
"Tuyuhun's main envoys have a total of five people, but here, other than the guards, there are only four people who are wearing uniforms.”
Lu Qing quickly walked over and carefully examined the corpse.
As expected, there were only four people wearing Tuyuhun official robes.
Then, how could there be fewer people?
Those who were missing, were they taken away by the forces that killed these people, or…escaped?
"Sir, we found something."
At this moment, a guard ran over.
Holding two tokens in his hand, he said,"We found this at the scene.”
Han Min quickly took the tokens and looked at them carefully. One of them was a spiderweb token.
As for the other…it was a completely unfamiliar token.
Lu Qing took a look at the words on it and realized that they were…Tibetan characters!
