Chapter 358: The Tibetan Messenger

A fast horse rushed from the official road at the south gate of Chang'an City.

The knight rode his horse very fast, and the pedestrians on the official road dodged one after another. When the knight passed, these pedestrians looked at the knight's back and immediately wondered: "This, this is not the dress of the Han people, right?" ”

"Well, seeing that he is wearing a fur coat and a felt hat, he doesn't look like a thing from the Central Plains, he must be a barbarian from somewhere!"

"Hmph, a barbarian person dares to gallop at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it really eats the heart of a bear and a leopard gall!"

"Hehe, man, look at it, this barbarian won't be happy!"

As passers-by said, when this barbarian knight arrived at the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City, he was stopped by two spearmen.

"Do you know who I am?" The barbarian knight said in a not very fluent Chinese, "I am a warrior under the seat of the Tibetan Mission, and I have come to visit the emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the orders of my family Zanpu, how can you stop me?" ”

A soldier with a gun suddenly raised his gun: "Hmph, I don't care what kind of warrior you are or not!" Just now, when you galloped on the official road, and when you reached the city gate, you didn't slow down, and you wanted to hit the city gate, how could I not stop you! ”

The Tibetan knight was about to say something, but he saw two spears on the ground, and two soldiers were waiting for his every move at the same time. There was mockery in his eyes. The Tibetan knight took two steps back, turned over and dismounted, but he was honest.

He is not a stupid person, although he is a little arrogant, he is just the pride of being a Tibetan warrior. Faced with the seemingly casual appearance of the two Tang sergeants, who had actually become a flanking attack, he obediently chose to dismount. What's more, not far away, there were Tang sergeants staring at him.

Picking up the reins of the horse, the Tibetan knight walked towards the city, and at the same time said to the soldier in a muffled voice: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it's okay now!" ”

The soldier really had no reason to stop the Tibetan knight, so he had to remove the spear and let the knight enter Chang'an City.

The knight walked through the long door, a sneer on his lips.

However, what this somewhat proud knight didn't know was that since the moment the Tibetan delegation entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, someone had been staring at them. Whether it is a post inn or a restaurant or restaurant, the agents of the Investigation Institute will pass on the whereabouts of the mission, the movements along the way, layer by layer, until Chang'an. As soon as this Tibetan knight entered Chang'an, he was targeted by the pervasive investigation institute.

Zhang Yunwen sat on the third floor of the Drunken Cloud Tower, watching the Tibetan knight ride by.

"Lin Ran, where do you think this guy will go first?" Zhang Yunwen gently sipped the wine in the glass and said to Lin Ran

Lin Ran put down his wine glass: "If it is judged by common sense, this person should go to Honglu Temple first and report the news of the arrival of the mission to Honglu Temple!" If you see me in private, then his motives are not pure! ”

Zhang Yunwen pointed to the Tubo knight who was sitting on the horse and looking left and right, slowly heading east: "Do you think he seems to be going in the direction of Honglu Temple?" ”

Lin Ran shook his head: "This direction is not in the direction of Honglu Temple!" But rest assured, my lord, the lowly post has already arranged for manpower, no matter where this person goes or what he does, he will not be able to escape the eyes of the investigation institute! Oh, adults just need to drink with peace of mind here! ”

Zhang Yunwen sighed: "Alas, now there is still an endless debate in Chang'an City about who is the commander of the attack on Gaochang, how can these damn Tubo people come up again to join in the fun!" ”

After waiting for almost half an hour, a thin little second came upstairs and said respectfully to Zhang Yunwen and Lin Ran: "Lord Zhang, Lord Lin, the Tubo people walked around Chang'an City on horseback, and then found an inn to live in, and there was no action!" ”

Lin Ran couldn't help frowning when he heard this, waved his hand to let the little two go down, and said to Zhang Yunwen: "My lord, this Tubo people's anti-reconnaissance awareness is not bad!" ”

"Then keep an eye on him, and don't let him out of your sight!" Zhang Yunwen said.

When night falls, the curfew begins in Chang'an City, and teams of patrolling soldiers patrol the streets, and the gates between the city and the squares and between the squares have been locked and forbidden to pass.

In the darkness, in the backyard of the inn where the Tibetans lived, a figure like a swift leopard quickly climbed over a wall and disappeared into the darkness.

"Look, it's out, it's out!" On the roof of a house not far from the inn, a thin investigator looked at the figure over the wall and said to another person.

The other person looked at the figure slowly groping forward in the darkness, and said in a low voice: "You follow him, I'm here to guard!" ”

The man nodded his head, ran two steps lightly, leaped into the street, and leaped down into the street. It fell gently without making a sound. Eyes locked on the Tibetan people from afar,

These people were born as rangers and were incorporated into the investigation institute by Zhang Yunwen. Originally, it was included in the reconnaissance battalion, but whether it was the former reconnaissance battalion or the current recruit training camp, its soldiers came from all the armies, and there was no share of these rangers.

I saw the Tibetan man walking slowly along the corner of the street, not following the light to check the appearance of the nearby buildings, as if he was looking for a way. Seeing the way the Tubo people desperately recalled the route, the investigators of the investigation institute who followed him couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.

In this way, the detective kept following the Tibetan man, who did not notice it and kept walking along the street.

Finally, after walking for more than half an hour, the Tibetans stopped outside a mansion.

"Tuk Tuk—" The Tibetan people knocked lightly on the door, making a rhythmic knocking sound.

A moment later, a crack opened in the door. The Tibetans got into it at once.

The detective hiding on the corner looked at the words on the plaque of the mansion, but his heart was cold, picked up the pen, and wrote on a piece of paper: "At three o'clock, enter the Luguo Mansion!" ”

"My lord, this is where the Tibetan people went last night!" Lin Ran handed over an unopened envelope and said.

Zhang Yunwen took the envelope, and after opening it, he took a cursory look, but he was startled, stood up, and looked at Lin Ran: "Old Lin, have you seen this information?" ”

Lin Ran shook his head, hearing Zhang Yunwen's question, he already felt that this matter was a little unusual, and he was secretly glad that he didn't open the envelope.

Zhang Yunwen stuffed the paper back into the envelope, and said to Lin Ran without raising his head: "By the way, yesterday's personnel dispatch records and other things were all ruined by me, don't leave a trace of clues!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen say solemnly, Lin Ran nodded heavily.

The reason why Zhang Yunwen did this was to protect those agents.

Carrying the envelope, Zhang Yunwen came directly to the palace.

"Hmm, Yunwen, last time you said that you would let your brother take the position of Zhonglang General. At that time, Pharmacist Li was present, and I agreed, after all, he was Pharmacist Li's apprentice! But I can make it clear to you, if your brother didn't make any contributions in this battle, I will take back the position of the lieutenant general! Seeing Zhang Yunwen coming, Li Shimin smiled.

Some time ago, Zhang Yunwen asked for Su Dingfang for the power of a Zhonglang general to lead 2,000 people independently, at that time Li Shimin was discussing the choice of coach with Li Jing, and after Zhang Yunwen came in to state, Li Shimin agreed to Zhang Yunwen's request.

Now, hearing that Li Shimin was mentioning this matter, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen dares to guarantee that Su Lie will not disappoint Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin touched his beard: "Hehe, that's good!" Hmm, by the way, Yunwen, why did you come to the palace? ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately told the story that the Tibetan mission was about to arrive and that a Tibetan knight had arrived in Chang'an. At the end, Zhang Yunwen said: "The detectives squatted all night, and finally found out what the Tubo people did at night. Now hereby to Your Majesty! ”

As he spoke, he took out the envelope and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the envelope, opened it and looked at it a few times, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Throwing the paper and the envelope on top of several cases, Li Shimin snorted lightly: "What are these Tubo people who don't go to Honglu Temple when they enter Chang'an, but go to Hou Junji's house?" ”

Zhang Yunwen glanced at Li Shimin's face: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, this matter is not so simple, when the Tubo mission arrived in Chang'an for the first time, he colluded with Hou Junji to come again, and even crusaded against Tuyuhun, Hou Junji also put forward the opinion of asking Tubo for help." Now that the Tibetan delegation has come to Chang'an again, the first person to see it is Hou Junji, and it is carried out in this sneaky way, which inevitably makes people suspicious! ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he sighed lightly: "I'm afraid there is still some misunderstanding in the meantime!" Yunwen, you go and check it out again and see what the Tubo people are planning! ”

Zhang Yunwen heard Li Shimin open his mouth and shut his mouth to Tubo people, but he didn't mention Hou Junji, and immediately knew that he was unwilling to punish Hou Junji, and he also knew that it was difficult for Li Shimin to punish Hou Junji with these alone. Immediately got up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen must have made the intentions of the Tubo people very clear!" ”

Just as Zhang Yunwen was about to walk out of the main hall, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Yunwen, what you said at the beginning is that the establishment of an intelligence system must be fair, but I hope you can be fair!" ”

Zhang Yunwen turned around and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely live up to the word justice!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, but lowered his head and continued to look at the information on the table.

After listening to Li Shimin's advice, Zhang Yunwen sighed in his heart, this Hou Junji is really favored by Li Shimin! But come to think of it, when Li Shimin was just crowned the king of Qin, Hou Junji has been following him, how can he not be emotional? Moreover, behind this Hou Junji, there is the shadow of the Guanlong Military Group, which is relied on by Li Shimin, so Li Shimin's treatment of Hou Junji is a good word.

Returning to the Investigation Institute, he instructed Lin Ran to continue the investigation and be sure to keep an eye on the Tibetan man.

However, to Zhang Yunwen's disappointment, after the Tubo and Hou Junji came into contact with him once, they never had contact with him again.

Time passed like this. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.

At this time, the Tibetan delegation also arrived in Chang'an.
