It had been almost a month since the Qin diplomatic mission arrived in Chang 'an.
After the banquet, Zhang Yi began to discuss the trade of weapons and equipment with the Great Tang Imperial Court.
Obtaining the weapons and equipment of the Great Tang was the most important goal of this trip, and their warhorses had not been given to them for nothing.
Saddles, stirrups, and sabers were extremely rare in the Qin country.
After a round of negotiations, the Great Tang Imperial Court finally decided to give 50,000 saddles and 50,000 stirrels.
As for battle sabers, spears, and armors, each had 30,000 sets.
Qin's equipment was far inferior to Tang's. Now that they had obtained such a large number of weapons and equipment, they could completely arm a powerful army.
The weapons and equipment were quickly handed over.
The Great Tang Imperial Court didn't delay in this aspect at all.
After these matters were done, the Qin Country's diplomatic mission was about to set off to return to the Qin Country.
........
Today was the day the Qin diplomatic mission left Chang 'an.
All the city gates of Chang 'an City were opened, and the guards of honor were deployed outside the city. Li Shimin and the civil and military officials saw them off personally.
This was because not only did he have to send Fu Su and the Qin Kingdom's diplomatic mission, but he also had to send Li Lizhi.
The troops outside the city were vast and vast, stretching for ten miles.
Li Lizhi was going to marry into the distant Qin country, and Li Shimin had arranged for more than a thousand servants and maids to accompany her.
Just the imperial chefs in the palace had prepared no less than thirty!
Such a luxurious lineup showed how much Li Shiming valued his daughter.
Outside Chang 'an City.
Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wugou, and the others were bidding farewell to Li Lizhi.
Li Lizhi was dressed in plain clothes today, looking like a fairy from the Moon Palace, beautiful and otherworldly.
"Lizhi, remember to write a letter back when you arrive in the State of Qin.”
Zhangsun Wugou choked with tears as he held Li Lizhi's hand and refused to let go.
Her eyes were a little red and swollen. It was not only because she was crying, but also because she had not slept the entire night.
How could she sleep knowing that they were going to leave today?
"Mother, don't worry. Your son will often write to you and father.”
Li Lizhi smiled sweetly and said gently.
Seeing Zhangsun Wugou's expression, Li Shiming frowned and said,""You should be happy that Li Zhi is getting married. Why are you crying?”
Then, he reminded Li Lizhi,[After marrying to Qin, you must abide by your womanly morals. You must remember that you are my daughter, the Eldest Princess of Tang!]”
"Don't disgrace the Great Tang!”
Li Shi Min said sternly.
"Your son understands."
Li Lizhi nodded gently.
Then, she looked up at her parents in front of her. A trace of reluctance flashed across her beautiful eyes as she sighed,"After marrying into the Qin country, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again.”
"Lizhi bids farewell to father and mother.”
After saying that, Li Lizhi knelt down and kowtowed to the two.
In ancient times, where traffic was blocked, it was basically impossible for women to see each other again if they married outside, especially if they married to another country.
After this meeting, it would be a farewell!
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but cry, while Li Shiming's expression was complicated and he didn't say a word.
Seeing this scene, the officials and ministers around, whether they were sincere or not, also shed tears.
There was a sudden burst of crying outside Chang 'an City.
After kowtowing, Li Lizhi stood up and walked towards the convoy of the Qin diplomatic mission.
"Beauty!"
At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly shouted. After Li Lizhi stopped, he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only sigh and say,"Everything is fine over there."”
Li Lizhi smiled and nodded. She looked deeply at Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wugou, and Li Chengqian, as if she wanted to imprint their faces in her heart.
Then, she turned around and left without any lingering feelings.
After Li Lizhi left, Fu Su and a few representatives of the Qin diplomatic mission came over. It was their turn to bid farewell to the Tang King. This was the proper etiquette.
Before Su could say anything, Li Shimin waved his hand and a carriage was pulled over.
The carriage was covered with a thick curtain, and the inside was bulging. It was unknown what it was.
"This is?"
Fu Su looked at the hundreds of carriages and couldn't help but look at Li Shimin in confusion.
"This is the dowry I prepared for Lizhi.”
Li Shi Min said lightly," Inside are 3,000 sets of Mingguang Armor and 3,500 Da Mo Blades.”
As soon as he said that, the corners of Fu Su's eyes twitched.
Radiant Armor and Great Mo Blade?
Not only him, but everyone in the Qin diplomatic mission was also shocked. Zhang Yi even felt his heart skip a beat.
The weapons and armors they traded were all standard equipment of the Great Tang. Although they were several times stronger than the weapons and armors of the State of Qin, they were not the best.
However, the Radiant Armor was different from the Great Bizarre Blade. It was a true top-notch equipment!
The Mingguang Armor was the best armor of the Great Tang, and its defensive power was extraordinary. And the Great Mo Saber had the reputation of being able to destroy horses and horses with a single slash!
The cooperation of the two could increase the combat strength of the soldiers!
Even in the Great Tang, only the elite soldiers of the Twelve Battalions of the capital could equip such armor, and each set of armor was three times more expensive than ordinary armor!
These pieces of equipment were of strategic importance. Even if they were old or damaged, they would never be sold to the outside world.
But now, Li Shi Min had actually given it away.
And it was a total of 3,000!
Even with Zhang Yi's well-cultivated state of mind, he was still shocked from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty, why?"
Fu Su looked at Li Shiming with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Lizhi is my most beloved daughter. Now that she's married, I naturally can't be stingy with her dowry.”
Li Shi Min said lightly and glanced at him.
"I think highly of you. This can be considered an investment for you.”
"Fusu, don't disappoint me.”
His gaze was meaningful, and Fu Su instantly understood.
The equipment that Li Shi Min gifted was not part of the trade between the two countries, but was given to him personally.
The reason why he did this was for Li Lizhi.
Although Fu Su was now regarded as the successor of the next generation by Ying Zheng, the fight for the throne was extremely cruel. Who could guarantee that Fu Su would be able to ascend the throne?
One had to know that Li Shi Min had killed his brother to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, he had given Fu Su this batch of equipment to help him build his own army.
This way, he would have enough trump cards and strength to fight for the throne in the future!
After all, once Fu Su died, Li Lizhi became a widow.
No father in the world wanted to see such a thing happen, so he gave Fu Su this trump card.
After understanding this, Fu Su stood up straight and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Fusu, thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"
Li Shi Min's gift was worthy of his big gift.
This batch of equipment could not be exchanged for any amount of warhorses or money!
"Treat Lizhi well."
Li Shi Min didn't say anything more, but he reminded her with a complicated expression.
Fu Su's expression was serious as he nodded heavily.
Not long after, the convoy set off in a grandiose manner.
The guards of honor played a grand ritual and music as they respectfully sent off the Qin diplomatic mission and the princess.
Li Shi Min stood there silently, looking at the fleet of cars that had left. His eyes were filled with melancholy, and he seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
He had finally left.
.........
In the carriage of the Qin diplomatic mission.
The moment the convoy began to move, the sadness of parting surged like a tide.
The curtains of the carriage were blown away by the wind, revealing Li Lizhi's beautiful face with tears flowing down her face.
The wind outside the carriage was blowing.
The girl's sorrow was swept away as she flew into the blue sky, straight into the clouds.
In the distance were mountains and rivers.
