After leaving Xiang Chao's tent, Zhu Danxi arrived at his residence in a blink of an eye.

After a while, Li Yuan came over and asked, "Did you go to see Xiang Chao?"

Zhu Danxi nodded.

Li Yuan asked again, "But what about leaving Hangu Pass?"

Zhu Danxi said worriedly, "In two days at most, Xiang Yan's health will decline rapidly. If I don't leave Hangu Pass, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I will arrange for you to leave tonight. Don't take anything with you from your tent. You won't be able to go far if you carry your luggage with you.

From here, we can go to Lingbao Mountain and tell Generals Yu Jin and Lu Bu that Xiang Yan is very likely to use his troops against them, and ask them to be on guard."

Hearing this, Zhu Danxi was overjoyed. "Okay, but what will you do if I leave?"

Li Yuan said, "I have my own way of distancing myself from you. I am a servant of Huang Xie, the Lord of Chunshen. They dare not kill me. As long as I can return to Tai'an City, I can live."

That night.

Li Yuan arranged for several envoys to return to Tai'an City.

Among them is Zhu Danxi.

The reason why Li Yuan was able to arrange for people to leave Hangu Pass was because he had the power to do so.

Now, he is still the head of the envoys in name, but in fact, he has been appointed as the military supervisor by Huang Xie.

Therefore, the situation here must be reported to Tai'an City at all times.

Li Yuan took this opportunity to arrange for Zhu Danxi to leave.

After leaving Hangu Pass, Zhu Danxi took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to bypass Hangu Pass and head to Lingbao Mountain.

In this way, Zhu Danxi was able to escape.

The next day.

Xiang Chao was furious when he learned that Zhu Danxi had left.

He called Li Yuan over and asked with gritted teeth, "Sir Li, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, then I have the right to suspect you of treason!"

Xiang Chao is not a fool.

Naturally, I know how Zhu Danxi escaped.

After all, last night, only the people sent by Li Yuan left Hangu Pass.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was not intimidated at all and directly confronted him, "Collaborating with the enemy? That's a big accusation, General Xiang! You'd better think carefully before you put it on me. Otherwise, I will go before His Majesty at any time and accuse you of slandering a loyal and honest person."

"Then you should explain to this general, Zhu Danxi, why did you leave Hangu Pass?"

Xiang Chao said coldly.

Li Yuan stood up and said calmly, "Marshal Xiang has recovered now. According to the etiquette of the two dynasties, Zhu Danxi's mission has been completed and he should leave Hangu Pass.

"General Xiang, if I don't let Zhu Danxi leave, will I still have credibility when I go on diplomatic missions to other countries in the future?"

"Just for this reason, you let him go?"

Xiang Chao frowned.

Li Yuan said, "Isn't this reason enough? I am an official in the Ministry of Rites, and I often travel as an envoy to various countries. When I left Qin, Prime Minister Cai Jing instructed me to return Zhu Danxi to Qin safely after Marshal Xiang recovered.

If I don't let him go, how will the countries of the world view me in the future? Wouldn't this affect my future?

To put it another way, the Emperor of Qin had done his utmost by ordering a physician to treat Marshal Xiang. So why did you keep him trapped and not let him go?

If this gets out, how will the people of the world disparage our Great Chu? Do we still have any magnanimity left in us?"

After hearing this, Xiang Chao didn't know what to say.

Anyway, that seems to be the truth.

Since the matter has been done, it doesn't seem good to make things too awkward with Li Yuan.

So, that's all it can be.

Anyway, his father's health is getting better and better, and it seems that he doesn't need Zhu Danxi anymore.
