Chang 'an, Great Tang.
At the edge of the Imperial City, in the bedchamber used to entertain the envoys, Lu Dongzan and Ta Tu sat opposite each other, their faces clouded with worry.
"Great Minister, how was it today?" Ta Tu asked expectantly.
Lu Dongzan shook his head, feeling even more disappointed. He sighed and said,""There hasn't been much progress. The Tang Emperor has been unwilling to meet me.”
"Even if I were to personally request an audience with the Tang Emperor, the guards would only say that the Tang Emperor is not in the palace and would not know where he went.”
"They clearly don't want to talk to us. The hopes of our Tubo will most likely be dashed.”
Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed with unwillingness, but he had no choice but to accept the truth.
But what he couldn't understand was that if it was a marriage alliance, it was fine if the Tang Emperor refused to marry a princess, but he could at least choose a noble woman, right?
Although Tuyuhun claimed to have married a princess, how could a real princess marry far away from Tuyuhun?
This was a matter that could not be faked, but this time, the Tang Emperor had rejected him so straightforwardly. What exactly went wrong?
Ta Tu's face sank, and his heart became bitter. After a moment, he said,"As a result, our plan to use the prestige of the Great Tang to intimidate those small factions in the country will probably fail.”
Songzan Gambo's desire to marry a princess was partly because he coveted the Great Tang's technology and methods, but also because he wanted to borrow the power of the Tang Empire.
If he could succeed, he would be able to use the might of the Great Tang to make those clans with ulterior motives fear him.
After this difficult period, the regime would stabilize and everything would be fine.
But now, this idea was undoubtedly going to be shattered.
Lu Dongzan was disappointed and sighed. On the one hand, he didn't know how to explain it when he went back. On the other hand, he suddenly thought of something and said,"By the way, is there still no news from Gu Li and his two clansmen?”
Three days had already passed. Gu Li, who had promised to come later, had yet to make any moves.
Moreover, Gu Li had done something shameful, so Lu Dongzan had no way to find him.
After all, this was the world of the Great Tang!
Ta Tu was stunned. He had been troubled by the marriage alliance for the past two days and had long forgotten about it.
At this moment, hearing Lu Dongzan mention it, he also felt that something was wrong. He said,"Great Minister, I'll bring a few people to look for him.”
Although they were not on good terms, Gu Li was also a member of Songzan Gambo's noble family. He belonged to the Tubo Empire and naturally could not be left alone.
"Mm, bring a few people to the village from before. Remember to keep a low profile and don't let anyone find out.”
Lu Dongzan warned.
Ta Tu accepted the order. He packed up his clothes and changed into a Central Plainsman's uniform before leaving Chang 'an with a few Tibetan followers.
……
"Ding! [Mission: Create high-explosive gunpowder and use it to kill 20 enemies.]”
" Mission reward: 1000 reputation points, and skill mastery.”
That night, Li Fei was holed up in his room, seriously thinking about this operation.
As a transmigrator, he saw things more clearly than anyone else. He also knew that his actions this time did not affect him much.
The possibility of war between the Great Tang and Tubo was almost zero.
However, when Old Li found out about this, Li Fei was worried.
With Li Fei's ability as a transmigrator, he could easily kill a few people without anyone noticing.
But because Zhangsun Wugou was present, he had already said it.
Once something happened to the Tibetan envoy, they would immediately investigate this place.
Li Fei wasn't afraid, but he still had a little persimmon by his side. If something happened, would he have to run away with the persimmon?
"High-explosive gunpowder…This thing is a great killing weapon…"
The voice in his mind caused Li Fei's thoughts to stop. Then, he focused on the mission that the system had just issued.
The Great Tang already had gunpowder, but it was something invented by alchemists and had yet to be put to use.
However, Li Fei's mind was spinning rapidly.
Thinking of countermeasures!
Every mission issued by the system was based on his actual situation and then formulated the most valuable way to complete the mission and reward.
This high-explosive gunpowder was definitely not groundless. It was obviously a trigger given by the system to prompt Li Fei's next move!
" Gunpowder…high explosive…explosion…"
"What does this mean…"
"Don't tell me you want to make a bomb bag and throw it into the residence of those Tibetan bastards?”
Li Fei scratched his head. His brain was spinning like a Muggle's. He thought hard for a long time but could not get the gist.
Unable to figure out how to use it, Li Fei decided to stop thinking about it. Instead, he looked at the formula on the table and the small pile of materials given by the system.
The items on the recipe were neat and tidy, and there were all kinds of tools for taking materials. Li Fei was like a tool, mixing the materials according to the various recipes.
Not long after, he had made ten simple and super-small " explosive balls ".
"Let's find a place to try while it's dark…"
