Chang 'an City Gate.
More than a dozen guards held their swords tightly.
Other than the whistling of the wind and the sound of burning torches, there was no movement.
During the Tang Dynasty, curfews were imposed.
Except for major festivals, no one was allowed to go out after dark.
The city gates of Chang 'an had long been closed. No one was allowed to enter or exit unless it was an emergency.
Otherwise, it would be regarded as treason!
"Who are you?"
When Qin Mu's figure appeared at the entrance of Chang 'an City, all the guards in charge of guarding the city gates instantly discovered him and drew their knives.
"Qin Mu!"
After saying that coldly, Qin Mu didn't say anything else and charged forward.
Anyway, it was already considered a rebellion, so he did not mind making things bigger!
"Presumptuous! Men, take him down!"
More than ten guards rushed up angrily.
They had never seen such an arrogant person in their lives. How dare he barge into Chang 'an City so brazenly!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and countless cold lights flashed.
Screams rose and fell in Chang 'an Fortress.
In less than an instant.
A group of guards fell around Qin Mu.
He found an opening and directly stabbed into the back of the guards, splitting open the wooden bolt of Chang 'an City Gate with his sword!
Rumble! Rumble!
A heavy voice sounded, and the city gate of Chang 'an slowly opened.
"Not good! Sound the alarm!"
Seeing this scene, the guard general was instantly shocked.
"Wuwuwu!"
The sound of a horn was heard in the night sky, resounding throughout Chang 'an!
"Haha!"
"It's too late!"
Qin Mu stood in front of Chang 'an's city gate and smiled as if he had succeeded. His body turned swiftly and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the official road that led out of Chang' an.
……
Duke Zhao's estate.
A rumbling alarm sounded, waking Zhangsun Wuji up from his daze.
"What happened?"
Zhangsun Wuji shouted loudly.
"Master, something big has happened! Someone broke into Chang 'an City at night and killed more than a dozen guards. He had already escaped.”
A servant hurriedly came over and answered.
" What?!" Zhangsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed, as if he had understood something.
Bad news!
That kid must have known that I wouldn't let him go, so he escaped from Chang 'an overnight.
"Hurry up! Gather all the men in the residence and chase after them! Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I have to capture that kid!”
Zhangsun Wuji's furious roar echoed in the night sky.
Not long after.
Chang 'an City lit up with many torches in the dark night.
Dense footsteps rushed toward the city gate of Chang 'an…
The Imperial Palace, Dew Palace.
The imposing Li Er was reading an article seriously.
At the end of the article, there were only two words.
Qin Mu!
"He's a talent, but it's a pity.”
Li Er put away the answer sheet and muttered to himself.
When he first saw this article, he was shocked and excited.
With such a talent, the Great Tang would definitely be revived.
However, when he found out that this person was from a poor family, the enthusiasm in Li Er's heart quickly faded.
At this time, the Great Tang was still ruled by the aristocratic families.
A mere Humble Class student, no matter how talented he was, would never be able to make a name for himself in the Imperial Court.
Putting aside whether Qin Mu could adapt to the mutual deception in the imperial court, even the aristocrats in the capital would never let such a young man stand out.
The reason was simple.
No one wanted such a top genius to block the path of advancement of their family's juniors.
Li Er was very clear in his heart, but he did not want to give up on such a young genius.
He planned to make Qin Mu give up the top scorer position first.
After that, he would hide his identity and befriend Qin Mu as a commoner. That way, he could talk to him without having to let him enter the imperial court. It might become a good conversation in the future. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
What a pity!
Not everything was as beautiful as imagined.
"Wuwuwu-"
A hurried horn sound broke the silence of the Dew Palace.
Li Er suddenly raised his head, and a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes.
Something happened?
"Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report!”
Li Junxian's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in."
Li Er ordered.
" Your Majesty, there was a tragedy at the gate of Chang 'an. A mysterious teenager broke into the city gate at night and injured 16 guards. The teenager has escaped!”
Li Junxian recounted what had happened at the city gates.
"What did you say?"
Li Er's anger soared to the sky, and his entire aura was like an angry lion.
This was outrageous!
"Who is so bold as to barge into Chang 'an City at night?”
Li Er's roar echoed in the hall.
The atmosphere in the Dew Palace had already dropped to freezing point.
The surrounding people did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Your Majesty, according to the city gate guard's statement, that mysterious youth is called Qin Mu and is an expert in using swords.”
" Qin Mu!?"
Li Er's eyes widened, and his expression became extremely complicated.
It was him?
How could this be?
Li Er ordered Zhangsun Wuji to persuade Qin Mu. How did things turn out like this?
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji, requests an audience!”
At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
