After the meeting, Mars and several other envoy representatives returned to the post residence.

Regarding the outcome of the negotiations, which could not be called a negotiation this time, Mars spoke out without reservation.

When the other envoys heard what Mars said, they couldn't help but feel angry.

"This Emperor of Tang is really too arrogant!"

One of the envoys had an angry look on his face. He was also a high-ranking nobleman in the Byzantine Empire. Now in the Tang Dynasty, he had to be so humble and be looked down upon. It really annoyed him.

"Since they don't want to talk, what are we still doing here? Let's just go back to the empire to report to His Majesty, and tell those guys in the Senate how stupid and ridiculous their idea of ​​negotiating peace is!"

An envoy also snorted coldly and said, "We should directly mobilize our troops to eradicate all the Tang troops who invaded our empire!"

There was a lot of debate in the room.

"That's enough! Shut up, everyone!"

Mars said unbearably, stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard.

Seeing his anger, many nobles in the room became quiet. After all, Mars' identity and background in the Byzantine Empire were very few.

After scolding, Mars walked outside the door, took a look, closed the window again, then took a deep breath and said calmly: "No matter what, we can't return without success this time."

"For the time being, on the grounds of discussing conditions with the Emperor of Tang, try to stay in Tang for as long as possible. Your task is to collect various information about Tang, as well as any hostile countries around it, etc."

"In addition, all kinds of technologies of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the seeds of the magical rice, have also been collected and brought to the empire. Do you understand?"

After all, Mars was one of the nobles most valued by the Byzantine emperor, and he was very decisive and rational in handling matters.

In this current situation, he did not feel discouraged, but tried to find ways to maximize the benefits.

"Yes, Lord Duke!"

All the envoys responded one after another.

But they didn't notice that on the roof, there was a pair of eyes quietly watching their every move through the gaps in the tiles.

……

Court of Arbitration.

Today's Shadow Guard is no longer a yet-to-be-formed organization that even had its offices co-located with Dali Temple.

The current Shadow Guard has established a complete institutional system, as well as a talent absorption and cultivation chain.

To become a truly qualified Shadow Guard is no easier than to be listed in the imperial examination. Just one of the political examinations is enough to screen out many people.

Shadow Guards must ensure that there are no problems with their origins, and the information of three generations of ancestors needs to be investigated.

In addition, personal ability is also very important, and there are all kinds of talents. In short, if you can be named on the imperial examination gold list, you may be able to enter the Shadow Guard.

But high-level shadow guards can definitely get the top ten in the imperial examination.

The Court of Arbitration is now the headquarters of the Shadow Guard, and it is also the place where all the officials talk about it. It is the secret service agency of the Tang Dynasty.

There are only two heads in this spy agency, one is the spy chief Jia Xu, and the other is the emperor who is the boss.

Therefore, the transcendent status of the Court of Arbitration is inevitable.

It was already late at night, and the Arbitration Court was like a beast lurking in the night, giving people an inexplicable sense of fear.

"Sir, this is the record of their conversation, please take a look."

A shadow, whose body seemed to blend into the darkness, handed a stack of neatly coded white papers to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu took the information from the shadow guard, took it over and read it for a while, then threw it on the table and said lightly: "Continue to monitor and don't act rashly."

"Yes, my lord."

The Shadow Guard whispered, his figure blending into the darkness again.

Jia Xu walked out of the room and came to the courtyard. He looked up at the deep and starry night sky, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

……

After being scolded by Li Chengdao, the Byzantine Empire mission still did not choose to leave.

Many members of the mission went shopping in Chang'an City, like nouveau riche from the countryside, buying everything.

Mars, on the other hand, went to the palace every two days to ask for Li Chengdao, but without exception, they were all ignored by Li Chengdao, who had no intention of meeting them at all.

Today, Mars once again waited outside the imperial study to ask for an audience, while Li Chengdao did not come to the imperial study at all today. Only Wu Meiniang was sorting out the messy government affairs in batches.

After carrying the government affairs out of the imperial study and planning to send them to the central headquarters, Wu Meiniang saw Mars waiting patiently outside.

Wu Meiniang was no stranger to this blond foreigner, because this was not the first time this guy had come here.

"Your Majesty Mars, please come back. His Majesty will not see you. If you continue to be so persistent and offend His Majesty, then His Majesty will not care about your status as an envoy. No one in your envoy will survive."

Wu Meiniang stopped and reminded her loudly.

What she said was the truth, not out of sympathy for Mars and the others, but because she didn't want to see them die recklessly and affect Datang's reputation.

After all, it would be very unpleasant to spread the news about killing an envoy.

After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Mars smiled slightly and said, "I believe that as long as I am sincere enough, I will definitely impress His Majesty the Emperor."

Seeing that her persuasion was useless, Wu Meiniang didn't bother to waste any more words and left directly.

"Mother Chongyi, please stay."

However, at this moment, Mars suddenly called her.

Wu Meiniang frowned, turned to look at Mars, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, I just want to thank you for the reminder."

Mars whispered, and at the same time took out a small glass bottle from his sleeve and said: "This is our top-notch perfume produced in Byzantium. It can make men more obsessed with women. Please accept it..."

"Ah……"

Wu Meiniang sneered, looked at Mars like an idiot, then turned and left without looking back.

He really knows how to do what he likes. This kind of little trick is just used to deal with ordinary women. Use it to deal with her?

I really don’t know what these Westerners are thinking about. Do you really think that Eastern women are as brainless as Western women?

Simply ridiculous.

Seeing Wu Meiniang disappear, Mars' smile froze on his face.

"Why? I've obviously checked her information, and she likes perfume very much. Why won't she accept the gift?"

Mars was puzzled.

He obviously didn't make any request, he just gave a gift to get closer, but he was rejected without hesitation.

Even the women around the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were so shrewd. What kind of people were these Orientals?

……

At the corner not far away, Jia Xu withdrew his gaze, smiled faintly and left quietly.

"A bunch of Western idiots."...
