The imperial court took the matter of sending an envoy to Baekje, Silla very seriously, and only gave Muchuan three days to prepare.
As soon as three days passed, the thousand-member envoy group headed by Muchuan was about to cross the sea to its first stop, Silla.
As for why they didn’t take the overland route, it was because the relationship between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo was tense, and it was impossible to cross Goguryeo to reach Silla.
Muchuan did not intend to waste these three days.
Muchuan knew very well that this mission to Silla and Baekje was not a happy mission, and might even be life-threatening.
After all, it was Changsun Wuji who pushed him out.
Duke Lu's Mansion.
Muchuan and Cheng Yaojin stared at each other with big eyes.
"Boy Muchuan, you are totally rude. You asked me for someone as soon as I got here."
Cheng Yaojin cursed and said, "It's okay if you want Xue Rengui to join the envoys. Why do you want that kid Cheng Chumo to follow you?"
That's right, Muchuan came to Cheng Yaojin this time just to borrow someone.
Xue Rengui is his retainer, so he must be taken away.
As for why Cheng Chumo was taken away, it was because Muchuan wanted to use him to contain Changsun Chong.
Changsun Chong might not give Muchuan face, but he didn't dare to make any mistakes in front of Cheng Chumo.
After all, Cheng Yaojin's power is not much different from that of Changsun Wuji. When compared to his father, Cheng Chumo is worthy of Changsun Chong.
Muchuan smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, this kid is doing this for the sake of brother Chu Mo."
"When I was chatting with Brother Chumo earlier, I learned that he has no way to serve the country. Isn't this a good opportunity to be loyal to the country?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but look at Muchuan strangely.
"I've never seen you interact with that kid before."
"Forget it, I'll call Chu Mo over and ask."
Soon, a frightened Cheng Chumo came over.
Is dad going to punish me again?
Cheng Chumo's heart was full of fear. He grew up being slapped with snacks. Fortunately, he inherited Cheng Yaojin's genes and was extremely strong. Otherwise, an ordinary person would be slapped twice by Cheng Yaojin.
I stayed in bed for half a year.
Entering the living room, Cheng Chumo knelt down as if he was familiar with the process.
"Dad, I know I was wrong, so please spare me this time!"
"Are you wrong? Who the hell did you beat again?"
Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly widened, and he slapped him without saying a word.
"Your father never provokes you, so why did I give birth to such an evil beast like you!"
Cheng Yaojin lost his temper and kicked him again.
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was fighting hard, Muchuan, although speechless, had no choice but to speak to dissuade him.
Just kidding, if this puts Cheng Chumo in bed, I will have one less card available for this mission.
"Mr. Cheng, since Brother Chumo has realized his mistake, please forgive him this time."
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that Muchuan was also here.
For a moment, Cheng Chumo wanted to dig a hole and get in.
It wasn't a big deal for him to get beaten, but when outsiders saw it, he suffered a huge loss in face.
"You brat, if Muchuan hadn't begged you for mercy, I would have broken your legs today!"
Cheng Yaojin gave Muchuan face, which actually made Muchuan breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Cheng Yaojin is a big boss, he is not completely unreasonable.
"Why are you still standing there? Thank you so much!"
Seeing Cheng Chumo lowering his head and saying nothing, Cheng Yaojin became angry and slapped him on the head again.
"Thank you, Brother Mu, for interceding." Cheng Chumo almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.
If someone saw a joke and didn't say it, now I have to thank them.
This feeling made Cheng Chumo want to hit his head against a pillar and die.
Muchuan smiled and said: "Brother Chu Mo, I am here to invite you to join the envoy group."
"Emissary group?"
Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look up at Muchuan, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
He was not the one who blocked the news, but he also knew that the imperial court planned to send an envoy to Silla and Baekje today.
"Why should I go?"
"You brat, why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Before Cheng Chu could finish his question, Cheng Yaojin slapped him again.
Cheng Yaojin hated the iron and said: "This trip is not up to you. You have to go even if you don't want to!"
"Dad, I didn't say I didn't want to go."
Cheng Chumo rubbed his head, his face full of grievances.
"Oh, how dare you talk back to me!"
Another slap in the face.
"Well, Mr. Cheng, since Brother Chumo is willing to join the envoy, I will take Brother Chumo to understand the situation."
Muchuan stood up with a smile and waved to Cheng Chumo, "Brother Chumo, let's go."
"Yes, yes, you need to understand the situation."
Cheng Chumo responded with all his heart.
If I don't leave here, I'm afraid my head will be slapped in a circle.
After leaving Duke Lu's mansion, Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment, but then spoke reluctantly.
"Mu Chuan, thank you very much just now."
Hearing this, Muchuan smiled, knowing what Cheng Chu was silently thanking for.
"Brother Chumo said, I was going to take you to understand the situation."
"Well, I am sending an envoy to a small country like Silla and Baekje. Why is it necessary to understand the situation?"
Cheng Chumo said nonchalantly: "That boy Changsun Chong has been showing off every day for the past two days. All the young masters in Chang'an already know the details."
Hearing this, Muchuan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
More details? I’m afraid not.
The specific purpose of this mission to Silla and Baekje was not stated, but Muchuan was asked to try his best to have good relations with the two countries, and the rest would be handled by dedicated personnel.
That's right, Muchuan is just the leader of the envoys on the surface, and the team also has the person in charge behind the scenes.
"Okay, I'll send you here. You can go back by yourself. I'm going to Baihuaxuan for a drink."
When he reached the intersection, Cheng Chumo stopped.
Muchuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Chu Mo really doesn't plan to go to Honglu Temple with me?"
"Honglu Temple is not as fun as Baihuaxuan. I'm too lazy to go there."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Cheng Chumo suddenly thought of something and stared at Muchuan with his eyes.
"By the way, you can't tell anyone about the beating I got, or I'll beat you up and I'll curse you to death!"
He just wanted to beat Muchuan to death, but Cheng Chumo realized that he couldn't beat him at all, so he had to change his mind.
It's just that he doesn't know yet that when it comes to scolding people, Muchuan can even scold him to death.
Muchuan looked at Cheng Chumo in confusion and asked, "When did Brother Chumo get beaten? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Well, that's right, I've never been beaten at all."
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, but the bruises on his face told all the truth.
Since then, the two have been separated.
Muchuan then also went to Honglu Temple.
As the official head of the mission, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
