Taking advantage of this moment, Muchuan carried Li Shimin on his back and slipped out like a fish in troubled waters. After a while of escaping, the two of them were already nearly twenty meters away from the battlefield!
"Hoo ho!"
Muchuan was panting, so he placed Li Shimin under a pine tree and said, "Your Majesty, you will be safe here."
"Mu Aiqing...Thanks to you, but are we safe here?
Are there still ambushes around?"
"I don't know, but we can't go too far."
It is precisely because they don't know if there is an ambush that they can't go far. Now the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are fighting against the soldiers of Goguryeo.
Although the two sides are currently fighting fiercely and are evenly matched, this situation will not last long. As long as Changsun Wuji attracts the soldiers stationed outside the forest, all Goguryeo enemy troops can be captured.
Now that Muchuan and the two were close to the Tang Dynasty soldiers, they only had to wait for the Tang Dynasty soldiers to consume all the Goguryeo enemy troops.
If you stay too far away, you may lose more than you gain if you encounter an ambush.
"So that's it."
Li Shimin nodded slowly after hearing this.
The facts were just as Muchuan said. Over a cup of tea, the war situation gradually stabilized. As Changsun Wuji led four thousand soldiers and horses, the Goguryeo soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they were all captured soon.
Now Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian, Duan Zhixuan and others all knelt down in front of Li Shimin, each kowtow to plead guilty.
After all, they all have the obligation to protect Li Shimin, but in the end they still allowed the Goguryeo people to take advantage of him, and even almost let Li Shimin drive to Hexi. For this, they should be punished with death.
The sins of these people do need to be punished, but now is not the time to dwell on these matters.
"The Goguryeo people are very cunning, and I don't know if there will be an ambush. Let's get out of here first! We'll talk about other things later!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Immediately after rectifying the soldiers and setting up outposts, the Tang Dynasty army began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
Naturally, those Goguryeo soldiers had to be taken away too. How the Goguryeo people learned about the "royal hunting" and how the Goguryeo vanguard troops sneaked into the territory of the Tang Dynasty are all strange and need to be investigated carefully.
After a moment of burning incense, a team of thousands of people had walked out of the hunting forest.
The carriage team was driving on the rugged road, and Muchuan was sitting in one of the carriages.
As the number one contributor to Li Shimin's rescue, Muchuan was placed in a palace carriage exclusively used by the royal family to receive treatment from the imperial physician.
"Ouch, doctor, please be gentle, be gentle... my right foot seems to be twisted."
"Master Mu, please bear with me for a moment, I'm just setting your bones."
The old doctor's technique was excellent. He pressed his hands firmly on Muchuan's right ankle, and with a "Gada" sound, Muchuan's bones were straightened back.
"Shu Tan...the doctor has such good skills!"
"Thank you, Lord Mu. However, in addition to the bone displacement, you also have many scars. Please don't move, Lord Mu, so that I can clean your wounds and apply medicine and bandages."
"Thank you, doctor."
While Muchuan was receiving treatment, the curtain outside the carriage was opened, and a tall man walked in, it was Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong walked in with a smile: "Brother Mu, Brother Mu! You have done a great service this time! You saved the emperor, you can be promoted to a higher rank or even be entrusted with territory!"
"Yeah?
Ha ha……"
After being reminded by Qin Qiong, Muchuan noticed that he had made a great contribution.
In fact, rescuing Li Shimin was purely an attempt by Muchuan to avoid social instability in the Tang Dynasty, which would trigger a series of troublesome events. After all, these events would also affect his life.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that saving Li Shimin also had benefits. At least the gold and silver treasures, high officials and generous salaries are indispensable.
I don’t know what Li Shimin will reward me?
Maybe Let Muchuan be promoted to the third-grade official position again?
That's not right. Not long ago, Li Shimin gave him the military attache position of "Champion General". Would it be too fast if he was promoted again?
For a moment, Muchuan was filled with joy and thought.
However, Qin Qiong said something at this time that aroused Muchuan's alert: "It's just such a pity, Brother Mu, the envoy named Jin Hexuan Bin seems to have run away."
"Ran?
impossible……"
Kim and Hyun Bin are the prime ministers of Goguryeo, and they have a transcendent status. If they can capture this person, they will definitely get a lot of information, but in the end, such a person just ran away?
There must be a scam!
"Kim and Hyun Bin will not run away, he is definitely still here!"
"Still here?
Brother Mu, what do you mean by this?"
"Jin and Xuan Bin are either still in the forest, or they are disguised and sneaking into the Tang army."
Why would Muchuan make such a guess?
Quite simply, since it is known that Jin and Xuan Bin participated in this assassination operation, and even soldiers from the Tang Dynasty saw Jin and Xuan Bin appear, it can be determined that the other party must be on the scene to direct the soldiers' actions.
Probably seeing that Goguryeo was defeated and defeated, the enemy retreated smartly.
However, even if you want to retreat, it is not that easy, because Changsun Wuji has already ordered four thousand officers and soldiers to surround the entire forest.
Even if Kim and Hyun Bin have the ability to fly, I am afraid that the other party will not fly away just like that. You must know that the purpose of their Goguryeo mission was to assassinate Li Shimin, and the mission failed. Presumably, Kim and Hyun Bin are such good-looking people.
Will go back.
"Rather than escaping, Kim and Hyun Bin are more likely to continue to lurk, waiting for opportunities."
"So...Brother Mu, you mean Jin and Hyun Bin are still here with us?"
"Yes, I'm afraid he got mixed up among the soldiers."
How do Kim and Hyun Bin blend in?
It's simple. There was a war in the hunting forest before, and many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were killed or injured.
Jin and Xuan Bin only need to find a corpse to change clothes, and he can disguise himself as a Tang soldier.
"Brother Qin, if Jin and Xuan Bin really disguise themselves as soldiers, they will definitely get close to His Majesty! Go and tell His Majesty to strengthen the surrounding guards!"
"I see, brother Mu, you are really smart! Then I will go over now!"
After Qin Qiong said that, he left in a hurry.
In the next two hours, the Tang army returned to the Imperial City of Chang'an in a mighty manner. Nothing happened all the way back.
This caused Muchuan to wonder, could it be that Jin and Xuan Bin really escaped?
But since the other party has escaped, then forget it. Anyway, it would be best if the matter can be settled successfully.
At this time, the sun went down, the sky was dark, and the minister's mansion was brightly lit.
When Muchuan returned to the mansion, Heishan, Temujin Dali, Sophia and others came out to greet him. They all heard that Muchuan went to the forest to rescue Li Shimin.
