Tsuruta ignored the shouts of the newspaper seller and went directly to Orihime's room with the newspaper.

"Princess, no, something big has happened."

Orihime frowned and said, "You ran into a maid's room so early in the morning. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about?"

Tsuruta was stunned and thought to himself: "This is not my first time here, so why should I be afraid of being gossiped about?"

Immediately he said: "Your Highness, you are not afraid of being gossiped about, but that we may be exposed."

"What do you mean?" Orihime asked.

Tsuruta handed the newspaper to Orihime and said, "Your Highness, you should read it yourself."

Orihime took the newspaper and saw the headline saying that the experiment was successful. She suddenly stood up and said: "Datang's secret experiment was actually carried out yesterday? It has only been three days, didn't it say it would take ten days?"

"Princess, this is not the point. Please read the news below." Tsuruta said.

Orihime looked down and saw that the title was about killing several people who were spying on the secrets of the Tang Dynasty.

"Our people have been captured?"

Tsuruta shook his head and said: "They were not caught, but beheaded. Every one of them was beheaded. The corpses were hung at the gate of the city as a warning to others."

"boom."

Orihime slapped the table angrily and said: "What's going on? What's going on? I informed Zaemon about the matter just the day before yesterday, and it's only been a day since I came here, and yet he was killed.

Our Fusang plans for many years have been ruined in one fell swoop. It’s disgusting, it’s really disgusting.”

Tsuruta said: "Princess, there are three possibilities for this situation."

"Which three?"

"The first is that we were exposed, the second is that Zaemon betrayed everyone, and the third is that Datang has been closely guarding it for a long time, and everyone was caught during the investigation." Tsuruta explained.

Orihime immediately calmed down and said: "The first and second may not exist at all, otherwise we would be arrested now, and the third may be the most likely. I actually forgot about Datang's hot air balloon. This was my negligence.

"

Tsuruta nodded and said: "My subordinates just remembered it, but it's too late now. What we need to do now is to see who is still alive."

"Well, as soon as we can get out, we'll go investigate immediately and then have someone fill in the gaps." Orihime said.

"Your Majesty has a decree. Envoys from various countries will receive it."

A voice alerted all the envoys of Honglu Temple, and they all walked out of the room one after another.

Orihime and Tsuruta looked at each other, wondering why there was an imperial edict coming at this time.

Then the two people walked out of the room, not just them, but also envoys from other countries.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Everyone bowed their hands and saluted the eunuch holding the imperial edict.

The eunuch cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty has decreed that the Tang Dynasty experiment is very successful, because we celebrate together with the people..."

After Luo Li said a lot of words, everyone understood two meanings from the words. One was that the experiment to defeat the Tang Dynasty was successful, and a banquet was held in the palace and everyone was invited to participate.

The second one is to apologize, confining everyone in Honglu Temple. This was a last resort, so I apologized to everyone, and now they are free.

After everyone received the imperial edict, the eunuch gave everyone half an hour to prepare, and then they all went into the palace to participate in the banquet.

Orihime said: "What a great opportunity, Tsuruta, you go to the banquet and I'll go check out our organization."

"yes."

Half an hour later, Tsuruta and the envoys from other countries all followed the eunuch to the palace.

After Orihime saw everyone leaving, she also went out and went directly to the coffin shop.

When the waiter saw a beautiful woman coming, he immediately came forward and said, "Sir, who in your family has passed away?"

Orihime said in a deep voice: "I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper looked up when he heard the sound, saw Orihime, and immediately walked up to Orihime and said, "Sir, please come inside."

Orihime nodded and entered the inner room.

The shopkeeper said to the waiter: "I am discussing business with the customers, you can greet the customers well outside."

"Yes, shopkeeper." The waiter responded.

The shopkeeper nodded and went to the inner room. When he saw Orihime, he immediately saluted, "I have met the princess."

Orihime said: "Zaemon, do you know something happened?"

"What happened to the princess?" Zaemon asked with a confused look on his face.

Orihime saw that Zaemon's expression didn't look like he was acting, so she handed him the newspaper in her hand: "You can read it yourself."

After Zaemon read the newspaper, he immediately said: "How could this happen?"

Orihime said: "I don't know either. Maybe they were discovered by people from the Tang Dynasty when they were inquiring. The court of the Tang Dynasty kept this experiment very secret. They probably would rather kill the wrong one than let it go."

"Are they so cruel?" Zaemon said through gritted teeth.

Orihime said: "Since the person is dead, there is no need to say anything. Just check, how many of us are left?"

"yes."

When Zaemon left, he told the waiter not to disturb the guests and to do their own thing.

Two hours later, Zaemon came back and walked into the inner room.

"Princess, my subordinates went outside the city, and the people who died were really our warriors. We suffered heavy losses this time. If my subordinates followed them, they might also suffer misfortunes."

"I just want to know, how many of us are still lurking in Datang?"

"There are two more strongholds. Each stronghold has fifty people." Zaemon said.

"Are there only one hundred and fifty of us lurking in the Tang Dynasty?" Orihime asked with a frown.

She remembered that Emperor Kogi told him that he had sent a thousand spies to the Tang Dynasty. Their mission was to learn the knowledge and techniques of the Tang Dynasty, and when they were successful in their studies, they would return to Fuso and serve Fuso.

There is also the matter of finding useful information for Fusang.

Zuo Weimen said: "To report back to the princess, there are only one hundred and fifty people in Chang'an, and there are others in other places, but I am responsible for it."

Orihime nodded and said: "Tell the other two groups to secretly investigate Datang's experiments and the firearms camp's weapons.

We must get such a powerful weapon."

"Yes, princess. I will inform them now."

"In two days, wait for the news to pass before we go to inquire. If we go to inquire now, we are simply throwing ourselves into a trap." Orihime reminded.

"yes."

Orihime explained a few more words and left the coffin shop.

In Lantian Marquis, General Han Wu presented the latest report from the Secret Intelligence Service on Li Feng's desk.

At this time, Li Feng was in the palace. Li Er held a banquet. In addition to envoys from various countries, there were also a group of ministers such as Fang Xuanling, including Li Feng.

"Your Majesty, envoys from various countries are already waiting outside the palace." A eunuch reported to Li Er.

Li Er said: "Invite them to enter the palace."

"Yes." The eunuch responded, and then shouted to the outside of the palace, "Announce that envoys from various countries are entering the palace."

The envoys from various countries entered the palace in an orderly manner, and then they all knelt down to Li Er and said, "See His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
