Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 170 Preparing for the Battle and Revenge

The cause and effect were clearly explained, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace reached an agreement in an instant.

beat it!

A fierce fighting spirit suddenly rose in the hall, and the huge Chengxiang Hall was instantly covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning.

"Your Majesty, the old minister asks for orders to lead the army to the Japanese kingdom. The veteran minister is good at attacking and slaughtering cities. If Your Majesty appoints the veteran minister as commander, after the old minister invades the Japanese kingdom, he will slaughter the entire Japanese kingdom to avenge the casualties of more than a thousand of our soldiers!"

Amidst the clamor and cursing, a veteran with white beard and hair stood up and begged for his life.

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

This veteran is Cheng Zhijie, also known as Cheng Yaojin.

Now Cheng Yaojin is old, but in the Zhenguan Dynasty, he was an old bastard who was not afraid of anything. Well, no matter what disgusting things he did, he was immediately forgiven.

If Li Qinzai didn't change his temper, Cheng Yaojin in his early years would probably be the version of Li Qinzai in his later years.

However, in the first year of Xianqing, Cheng Yaojin did a wrong thing, which ruined his reputation all his life.

When he went to the palace today, Cheng Yaojin did not have an official position, but was called into the palace as a consultant to play against the emperor.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin suddenly leave the squad to ask for orders, all the generals were stunned. After looking at each other in blank dismay, they turned their attention to Li Ji.

Li Ji is No. 1 in the military, and he has a high prestige in the army. Whenever there is a military matter, the generals of the Tang Dynasty will ask Li Ji for advice, even Li Zhi is no exception.

Li Ji took a deep look at Cheng Yaojin, and after a long time, he suddenly smiled: "Old man, he is about to go into the coffin, how can he run out now? Go back and hug your grandson."

Cheng Yaojin was still as hot-tempered as he was back then, and he glared around his eyes when he heard the words: "I'm not dead, what's the matter with me asking for orders? Even though I'm old, I'm still eclipsing the sun three times. How dare you bully me?"

Li Zhi sighed, looked at Cheng Yaojin with a complicated expression, and said: "This battle is a battle of shame. It is no small matter and must not be defeated. Otherwise, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty will be ruined. Uncle Cheng is old. Let's retire in Chang'an with peace of mind, coach. Send someone else."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, looked at Li Zhi's complicated expression, and sighed long, his whole body became sluggish.

What he needs is also a beautiful victory. This battle is Datang's shameful battle, so why not Cheng Yaojin's shameful battle?
However, the general has grown old, and the sharpness of the past has blunted. After the regretful curtain call in the vast chapter, it is difficult to re-enter this bright stage, which has been fully occupied by latecomers.

Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin are half-life comrades-in-arms and half-life enemies. Seeing Cheng Yaojin showing his old age, he couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Although you are old, you have many children and grandchildren. If you want to be brave, why not compare yourself to our children and grandchildren?"

Cheng Yaojin said coldly: "I know that you have a good grandson, you are an old bastard. You were a little bastard at first, but recently you have been taught by some god, and you have gained inexplicable skills. I am not afraid to admit that my grandchildren are no match for him. What!"

Li Ji laughed loudly: "Since you are cowardly, it is inconvenient for me to chase after the poor, haha!"

Li Zhi's face darkened, and he said: "Old generals, the Wa Kingdom dares to attack our soldiers today, assist Baekje, and fight against our Datang Tianwei. This matter must not be let go. Today's debaters, the Datang must give the Wa Kingdom a severe punishment. lesson!"

"From now on, the Ministry of Households will raise food, the Ministry of War will count ordnance and soldiers, and the Ministry of Rites will plan to conscript Japanese soldiers. Within half a month, the army will be prepared for war!"

All the generals bowed in awe and answered in unison.

…………

In the Taiji Palace, there are many stars and clouds of battle.

However, the British government was still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, and knew nothing about the Japanese raid on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

The weather in Guanzhong was wickedly cold. Today, on New Year's Day, it was snowing heavily, and there was a thick layer of snow in the yard. After being cleaned several times by the servants, it was soon covered by heavy snow again.

Li Qinzai hid in the greenhouse with his hands tucked into his sleeves, watching the snow outside through the window lattice.

In this weather, I couldn't bask in the sun in the yard, so I had to hide in the house and bake the fire.

Li Qinzai's eyes were out of focus, and he was staring at a certain point in the yard unconsciously, but he was thinking about whether he should go back to Ganjingzhuang or not.

For those who celebrate the New Year, I don’t know if the village girls in the village are doing well, what should I do if I’m hungry?What should I do if the Kang that has just been built suddenly collapses?With the character of a village girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she might just grit her teeth silently to save face when she is hungry or cold.

I'm a little worried...

Recently, she has been in good health, and has basically never sneezed in a day. Could it be that the village girl doesn't think about herself at all?

Tsk, the rancid smell of love!
Nothing happened in Chang'an, Li Qinzai secretly decided to return to Zhuangzi in a few days.Although Zhuangzi is barren, the taste of human feelings is much stronger than that of the Duke's Mansion.

Li Qinzai can casually squat on the edge of the field, chatting with the old soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the field about the anecdotes of the Northern Turkic Conquest, wandering around in the village, and randomly pushing open the door of the village when he is hungry, so that he can have a meal with them .

The important thing is that the village girl is good, and the beautiful village girl can get a sense of heartfelt satisfaction when she flirts with her.

Miss the village girl, it's time to go back.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a sudden explosion in the backyard, followed by a burst of howling ghosts and wolves.

Li Qinzai was startled, and hurried out of the room to run in the direction of the sound.

He ran to the changing place in the backyard, only to see the housekeeper Wu Tong crawling out of the hut clutching his buttocks.

"Who? Who did it? What was that just now?" Wu Tong lay on the ground in shock and growled angrily.

Li Qinzai looked around quickly, but the real murderer had already appeared in his mind.

In the entire Duke's Mansion, there is no one else who has mastered the skill of setting off firecrackers.

With a glance, he saw behind the hut, a small figure squatting guiltily, fleeing silently, and ran towards the bedroom in the backyard in a panic. When running away, his feet slipped, and he fell upside down in the garden by the roadside. Get up and continue to flee in a panic.

The corner of Li Qinzai's mouth twitched, and then he immediately regained his solemn expression. He helped Wu Tong up with his own hands, and asked with concern, "Is Butler Wu all right? What happened just now?"

Half of Wu Tong's buttocks were exposed outside his robe, and his buttocks were covered with... well, black, black and yellow, disgusting.

But there is one thing to say, butler Wu is over 50 years old, and the part of his buttocks that is not dirty is very tender.

White.

Wu Tong didn't know that his old butt was gone, he was still lying on the ground moaning, trembling: "I can't survive! The capital is the capital of the country, the huge mansion of the country, I didn't expect to be plotted against by a traitor... out of respect An accident can happen, and the old man will not survive!"

Li Qinzai said solemnly: "Someone dared to murder Butler Wu. This matter should be thoroughly investigated to the end. Butler, don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will find the real culprit."

Wu Tong still maintains a half-prone posture, which is particularly provocative, especially the half white buttocks that are unknowingly exposed. With the current demeanor, the picture is simply...

Li Qinzai really wanted to show Hong Shixian's smile and say, "You are so coquettish."

Seeing Steward Wu's pain, he couldn't bear it, so he had to give up.

"Where is the housekeeper hurt?" Li Qinzai asked with concern.

Wu Tong snorted and said: "It's not hurt, but I don't know what made such a big noise, maybe it was the firecracker made by Wu Shaolang? Wu Shaolang needs to investigate carefully, the old man heard that this thing is a powerful weapon for subduing the country , but was used by the villain to blow up the latrine to scare the old, it is really..."

Li Qinzai tried his best to hold back his laughter, and said seriously: "Don't worry, butler, I will definitely investigate."

After a pause, Li Qinzai pointed to Wu Tong's lower body hesitantly, and said, "The housekeeper should restrain himself a little bit in the capital's capital. It's a bit... indecent if it's exposed for a long time."

Wu Tong looked around in astonishment, and when he saw his own butt, he was startled. Gu Lu got up and covered it with the hem of his clothes with one hand.

"I really can't survive this time!" Wu Tong covered his buttocks and ran away heartbroken.

After Wu Tong ran away in embarrassment and anger, Li Qinzai finally didn't have to hold back his laughter, he squatted on the ground and laughed out loud.

After laughing for a long time, Li Qinzai took a breather, adjusted his expression, got up and walked towards the backyard.

Pushing open the door, Qiao'er was sitting dignifiedly at the table, practicing calligraphy with a pen in one hand. She looked very serious, and every pore on her face revealed the temperament of a schoolmaster.

Referred to as domineering leakage.

If the latrine hadn't been bombed just now, Li Qinzai would have believed it.

Li Qinzai walked into the door and stared at Qiao'er seriously.

Qiao'er still maintains the posture of practicing calligraphy, but her eyes are floating, and she looks guilty and thinks she has successfully concealed it.

"Where is Qiao'er practicing calligraphy?" Li Qinzai asked with a smile.

Qiao'er put down his pen, and bowed to him upright: "Qiao'er pays respects to my lord father, and returns to my lord father, Qiao'er is practicing calligraphy."

Li Qinzai smiled calmly and said, "My dear, how long have you been practicing?"

Qiao'er said seriously: "It's been about an hour, Qiao'er has been sitting here, never moving, let alone going out of the room."
