Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 218 His Enemy, My Hero

The two evil servants were sent back by the Li family, and they were treated well. They were sent back in the carriage because their legs were broken.

After solving the trouble, Cui Jie and Qiao'er Congshuang came out of the house.

Qiao'er Houzi was familiar with the road like climbing a tree, and slithered into Li Qinzai's arms, hugging him tightly.

Cui Jie's eyes are still a little red, she was originally the beloved jewel in the family, her father and brother have doted on her since she was a child, now that her father has reunited, she clearly feels that the love is no longer there, and her father's heart has been occupied by another woman.

Li Qinzai saw that she was depressed, stepped forward and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has found the second spring of his life. It is a happy event. You should be happy. Tomorrow, I will make some tiger penis wine and send it to my father-in-law to make up for it. Don't feel guilty when you mount a gun on a horse, no matter how strong a horse is, it can ride steadily..."

Cui Jie blushed and punched him vigorously, the disappointment just now disappeared.

Rubbing her head, Li Qinzai said softly: "When you grow up, you will be a guest when you go home, but you will still have your own home. In your own home, you will always be the master."

Cui Jie's eyes were red again, she lowered her head and hummed.

Only now did Congshuang go forward to salute Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai looked her up and said with a smile, "Congshuang, what did you eat recently? You're growing better..."

Congshuang was startled, and hid behind Cui Jie with a pale face, not daring to show her head.

Cui Jie stared at him: "Just came back and flirted with my maid, she is already a character, why are you still such an asshole?"

Qiao'er curled up in his arms, touched his earlobe mischievously, and said, "Father, have you won the battle this time?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "We won, the enemy was wiped out under Dad's command, lying at Dad's feet begging for mercy, especially cheering up."

Qiao'er cried out joyfully, and said, "I knew it, daddy is so powerful, he can do anything!"

Cui Jie said in a low voice: "I heard from the farmer that you led troops to land on Wa Island and destroyed their country?"

Li Qinzai winked at her: "Are you amazing? Hurry up and hug my thigh, and cast admiring gazes at me, there must be little stars in your eyes..."

Cui Jie snorted, and said: "You are always so unscrupulous, I really doubt what they say is true, can you destroy the country with your unscrupulous appearance? I heard that you also ordered the massacre of the city, killing... many young and strong people ?”

Li Qinzai hummed, and said: "I didn't give the order directly, but I didn't object either. It's not a bad thing for Datang to slaughter the young and strong of the enemy country."

Cui Jie's face turned pale, and she said softly: "I...tomorrow, I will recite the Sutra of Transcendent Buddhism a few more times to reduce your sins."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I don't believe this. The people of the Tang Dynasty don't think that I have committed any crimes for my enemy and my hero. When my grandfather fought in the world, he also massacred many cities."

"Now he is living a good life. He is over 70 years old. When he picked up a horse and beat me up, he could still walk like flying. He chased me from the front hall to the backyard. He is really old and strong, and he doesn't need to raise his whip..."

Cui Jie chuckled, and gave him a blank look: "You, you don't even let Grandpa off when you talk about stupid things."

Qiao'er suddenly said: "Father, did the great-grandfather beat you? Why did he beat you? Are you disobedient?"

Li Qinzai's old face turned black: "Don't talk about this, the point is to praise me for winning the battle."

Cui Jie glanced out of the yard with her almond eyes, but she saw Lu Ye Zanliang who was alone outside the yard.

Cui Jie's eyelids twitched, and she took a closer look, seeing that she was fair and beautiful, with an indescribable exotic charm, Cui Jie immediately felt vigilant, like a cat meeting another cat, and her whole body exploded.

"This is..." Cui Jie stared at Luye Zanliang and said.

Li Qinzai glanced back and introduced enthusiastically: "This is Little Baga."

Cui Jie was confused and waited silently for Li Qinzai to continue, but Li Qinzai only introduced this sentence and stopped.

Cui Jie was so angry that she pinched him hard and said, "Tell me, then what?"

"Then? No then, she is Little Baga, that's all." Li Qinzai said blankly.

"Is 'Little Baga' a person's name? There must be a source of identity, right?"

Li Qinzai let out a sigh, and said: "She is from the Wa country, and she is also the eldest princess of the lord. The lord is very hospitable and sent me off. Her full name is Lu, um, what is it?"

Luye Zanliang outside the yard finally couldn't bear it any longer. He stood two steps forward, gave a blessing to Cui Jie, and said in a low voice: "Slave Luye Zanliang, see you miss."

Although she was born as a princess, she still has good eyesight. Lu Ye Zanliang saw that the relationship between Cui Jie and Li Qinzai was unusual, so she hurried out to make a good impression.

Cui Jie took a deep breath, and her expression suddenly became weird: "Princess of a country, will I... be your slave?"

Li Qinzai spread his hands: "Otherwise? How about offering her on the sacrificial altar?"

Luye Zanliang said sadly: "A subjugated person who has no branches to rely on is no longer a princess."

Li Qinzai squinted at her: "Do you need me to reason with you? Why did you die?"

Luye Zanliang was startled, and hastily bowed his head and said, "I know I was wrong, so I won't talk about it in the future."

Seeing Li Qinzai's attitude towards Luye Zanliang, Cui Jie quietly heaved a sigh of relief, and her expression softened.

"I just rushed back to Zhuangzi, haven't I eaten yet? I'll make it for you." Cui Jie said softly.

Li Qinzai nodded: "You and Qiao'er will eat too, our family will have a reunion dinner."

Cui Jie blushed slightly, but she did not object to Li Qinzai's statement.

Qiao'er took Li Qinzai's hand and kept begging, "Father, it's been a long time since I told a story, how about telling a story tonight?"

Li Qinzai readily agreed: "Father will tell you the story of Snow White."

"What is Snow White?"

"It's a story about a miserable princess who was forced to die by her stepmother, then fled into the woods, and inexplicably took in seven little licking dogs."

Qiao'er opened her innocent eyes and asked, "Is my aunt also forced by her stepmother? Will she escape into the woods?"

"She escapes into the woods only to eat poisonous mushrooms, silly."

Cui Jie, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and stamped her feet, glaring at him: "Li Qinzai, don't go too far!"

…………

Chang'an City.

With the destruction of the Wa Kingdom and Li Qinzai's return to Beijing, more and more memorials were made to impeach Li Qinzai by the imperial court.

Destroying the country is indeed a great achievement, but there must be no stains.

Li Qinzai violated the order first, which is a stain.

All dynasties have been very sensitive to military power, and it is a serious crime to mobilize troops without orders.

Of course, Li Zhi believed in the loyalty of the Li family's meritorious service in the three dynasties, and Li Qinzai immediately handed over his military power to the Ministry of War as soon as he returned to Chang'an.

But the violation of the order has already been done, and the courtiers can't pretend not to see it.

Flake-like memorials flew into Shangshu Province, and they all participated in the impeachment of Li Qinzai for arbitrarily mobilizing the army. He sent troops to the Wa country without orders, and asked Li Zhi to question the crime.

What is quite surprising is that the person who impeached Li Qinzai most harshly and with the most violent words was thousands of miles away.

His name is Liu Rengui.
