Chapter 60 Shocked Everyone!
If he died on the streets of Chang'an, Songtsen Gampo would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and might even trigger a war between the two countries.

As the people cheered for Xu Luo's heroic act, the Buda envoy stood up with cold sweat on his forehead, walked up to Xu Luo, and bowed deeply: "Thank you sir for saving my life, Buda is grateful!"

Xu Luo just smiled faintly and said in a tone that was almost teasing: "Envoy Buda, if you were really killed by that crazy horse, our deal would be ruined."

Upon hearing this, the Buda envoy smiled awkwardly, thinking that Xu Luo really knew how to joke.

But he knew in his heart that what Xu Luo said was right. Such a precious treasure would naturally have no trouble finding a buyer.

"I will always remember your life-saving grace, sir. If you hadn't saved me just now, I'm afraid I would have lost my life..."

Before Buda could finish, Xu Luo burst into laughter and said, "Your Excellency is too kind! Even if I didn't take action just now, there are so many experts in Chang'an City, and naturally someone would help me.

To tell you the truth, my skills are nothing in the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing this, the Buda envoy was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. At this time, he noticed that Xu Luo's eyes inadvertently swept over his female guard. Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her lips were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of temptation.

At this moment, the female guard gently brushed the hair by her ears, revealing her fair neck, and glanced at Xu Luo in a charming manner. The Buda envoy's heart tightened, and he quickly retracted his mind and refocused on Xu Luo, gaining a deeper understanding of the hidden dragons and crouching tigers of the Tang Dynasty.

The Buda envoy looked at Xu Luo, feeling confused and uncertain. The fortune teller's series of actions were even more eye-catching than the street performers' acrobatics. He remembered an interesting story he heard in the market that morning, where someone subdued a manic rooster with a chopstick. Now it seemed that Xu Luo's methods were even worse.

"This Chang'an city is really a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!" the envoy sighed inwardly.

Xu Luo's seemingly easy movements made the two crazy horses instantly become docile, which made the envoy look at this fortune teller with admiration.

His dexterous hands seemed to have magical power, making people unable to help but imagine what it would feel like if these hands touched a woman's soft skin.

"Look, horses also have spirits, how can you abuse them at will?"

There was a hint of severity in Xu Luo's tone, and the way he scolded the groom made the female character next to him flash a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Her eyes were like the lake water in late autumn, rippling with alluring ripples. Looking at Xu Luo, she seemed to see a different world.

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she held it back.

"If they are frightened again, the consequences will be disastrous." Xu Luo continued, his words revealing not only care but also an unquestionable majesty.

As the envoy watched this scene, he gained a new understanding of the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

He imagined that if it was true as Xu Luo said, there were so many masters in Chang'an City, then it would not be easy for them, the Tibetans, to become enemies with the Tang Dynasty.

"Remember this, horses are also lives, treat them well." As soon as Xu Luo finished speaking, the groom lowered his head in shame.

At this time, the envoy couldn't help but wonder, who exactly is this fortune teller?
The groom was extremely flustered and kept nodding his head, as if he was afraid of saying a wrong word.

"Sir, I will remember your teachings and never dare to say anything more!" Xu Luo smiled gently, patted the coachman on the shoulder, and turned back to the fortune-telling stall. When he came back, he saw the Buda envoy still standing there in a daze, and his eyes seemed to have not recovered from the shock. Xu Luo walked up to him, waved his hand in front of the envoy's eyes, and said jokingly: "Are you still savoring the excitement just now?"

The Buda envoy shuddered and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry to have made a fool of myself, sir."

"Hey, that's nothing. You're new here, so it's normal that you don't understand." Xu Luo looked like he was used to it. "This is Chang'an City. This happens every few days. Everyone is used to it."

The Buda envoy was stunned. If what Xu Luo said was true, wouldn't the people of Chang'an City live in fear every day?

He turned his head and saw that the people who had been panic-stricken just now became leisurely again after Crazy Horse was subdued, and some were even strolling on Suzaku Street.

The envoy was more and more confused. Could Xu Luo's words be true? He looked at the calm people and couldn't help but feel a little envious. After a long time, he secretly sighed. This Chang'an City is indeed full of talented people.

Xu Luo sat down in front of the fortune-telling stall again and chatted with the visitors about the logistics problems of sweet potatoes and refined salt. He put on a seller's attitude and made it clear that he was only responsible for selling, not transporting. If the Buda envoy wanted to take these goods away, he would have to find a way himself.

If anything goes wrong along the way, hey, don't blame Xu Luo!
"Hey, sir, just relax. If anything really happens, I will never cause you any trouble!" Xu Luo nodded with a smile.

"That's all!" As the two were chatting, a carriage suddenly drove over the street and slowly stopped in front of the fortune-telling stall. Two attendants jumped out of the carriage. They were the people around the Buda envoy.

After checking it, the Buda envoy turned around and said with a smile: "Sir, this is the advance payment of 60,000 coins. Would you like to count it?"

Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then he laughed heartily: "Haha, Your Excellency, what are you talking about! Since we are partners, we must trust each other. There is no need to worry about such trivial matters as counting money. I trust you!"

Xu Luo put on a noble appearance, but he said: "I never care about money."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to be glued to the three heavy wooden boxes, and he refused to look away even for a moment. The Buda envoy couldn't help laughing loudly when he saw his expression.

"Haha, sir, you are so generous! In that case, I'll leave this small amount of money to you!"

The envoy waved his hand, and the two servants immediately moved the box from the carriage with great effort. Every step was extremely difficult.

The box fell to the ground with a bang. The two servants were panting heavily, with beads of sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Xu Luo's eyes moved back and forth between the wooden box and the servant, and he had already started calculating in his mind, wondering how to spend this windfall.

At this time, the Buda envoy stepped forward and bowed politely: "If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

"Well, envoy, take care." Xu Luo waved his hand casually.

The Buda envoy turned and boarded the carriage, followed by two attendants. The carriage rumbled away and headed straight for the post station.

As soon as he returned to the posthouse, the face of the Buda envoy suddenly darkened. As soon as he entered the door, the servants came to greet him. "No one is allowed to disturb us without my permission."
