Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 237

It is not a crime to talk nonsense about hozen. In the process of species evolution, any accidents and deviations are reasonable.

Successfully deflecting a hozen's three views, according to Li Qinzai, this is called "knowing the destiny", and it is the doom destined by God.

Luye Zanliang's eyes had lost focus. Judging from Li Qinzai's experience, women who have such out-of-focus eyes are either too happy or too confused.

Mikami-sensei also had such eyes in the short film of the previous life, and it looks particularly sad at this moment. The nostalgia of the previous life can never go back...

"On... Analects, is that how it is explained?" Lu Ye Zan Liang asked with empty eyes.

Li Qinzai said firmly, "Yes, I am from the Tang Dynasty, and my talent is valued even by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so my explanation is the most authoritative, trust me!"

"Why... is it different from what the Tang envoy taught me?"

"Huawai hozen think they are knowledgeable after learning a few words of human language? How profound are the Chinese cultural scriptures, and a few hozen think they can master it after learning it for a few years? Oh, it's ridiculous."

Kano Sanliang was at a loss as to what to do, she seemed to have lost her faith in an instant.

Because Li Qinzai's explanation is so subversive, the cultural background and self-confidence that has been built for a long time are instantly shattered by Li Qinzai's few words, and there is not even scum left.

She needs time to digest.

…………

It's summer, and the weather is getting hotter.

In the middle of the night, Qiao'er became more and more unsteady in sleeping, and was always so hot that he stepped on the quilt, which made Li Qinzai not sleep well.

In the early morning, Li Qinzai was absent from work as a matter of course, and the little bastards continued to study by themselves.

Sleeping until early in the morning, he woke up and ate something, and Li Qinzai dozed off again in the afternoon.

Just about to take a nap, someone from another courtyard came to report that there was a visitor.

"No!" Li Qinzai resolutely refused. Li Qinzai had a particularly violent temper before and after going to bed, and even the king of heaven and I didn't see him.

The servant carefully handed over the greeting card, Li Qin took it over with anger, and was stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance, surnamed Song Mingsen, and Deputy Director of Baiqi Division Chang An.

I am a rural teacher who is about to be promoted to the principal of the village. If I am far away from Chang'an, I will not cause disasters or disasters. Why do people from Baiqisi come to my door?
Apart from molesting a village girl, he has basically never done anything illegal recently.

After pondering for a long while, Li Qinzai sighed: "Let him roll to the front hall."

Only when you have not committed a crime and are not guilty, can you have the confidence to be rude.

Song Sen came quickly, his expression was as humble as ever, full of kindness and kindness.

"Your official, Song Sen, pay your respects to County Uncle Li, and congratulate County Uncle Li on his promotion to the Noble."

Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "Song Zhang has a heart, and he came all the way from Chang'an to Weinan to see me, what's the matter?"

Song Sen said with a smile: "It's something, it's enough to send a person from the Baiqi Division to inform the county uncle, but the officials have always admired the county uncle Li, and even more admired the bloody and brave strategy of the county uncle Li who led the army alone to destroy the Japanese kingdom , so the subordinate officials came here in person, and also listened to the teachings of Li Xianbo face to face."

Li Qinzai couldn't help laughing.

This guy is obviously a spy leader, but the flattering is so pleasant, no matter the strength or the angle, it makes him feel relaxed and happy, and he couldn't help but attract him as his bosom friend for a while, and really couldn't bear to show him face.

"The words are so beautiful, I'm ashamed not to arrange a banquet for you, haha." Li Qinzai immediately ordered his servants to hold a banquet in the front hall.

Song Sen thanked him with a flattered face.

Datang's banquets don't care about the meal time, as long as there are enough guests coming to the door at any time, a banquet can be arranged immediately. It is not for entertaining guests, but purely as a hospitality etiquette, just like guests entering the door to serve tea in modern society.

Not long after, the food and wine were brought into the front hall, and the guest of honor began to drink freely.

Of course, there is no such thing as kabuki. Firstly, there are no kabuki and music troupes in other courtyards in the countryside. Secondly, there is no need to go to kabuki to entertain guests of Song Sen’s level, which breaks the rules.

The kabuki in the Duke's Mansion is not just for entertaining any guests who come to the door. Song Sen's quality is much worse.

Song Sen was a low-ranking official, and when the banquet was served, he took the initiative to stand up and toast, and said a lot of auspicious words such as flattery and congratulations, all from the bottom of his heart.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Qinzai put down the wine cup and finally asked about business.

Song Sen also put down the wine cup, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Fifth Young Master, please tell me, the lower official is here today to report a letter."

"What letter?"

Song Sen said in a low voice: "After Wu Shaolang returned to Chang'an from the triumphant class teacher of the Japanese kingdom, did he openly and severely punish a group of envoys sent to Tang Dynasty on Zhuque Street in Chang'an?"

Li Qinzai immediately remembered that this was indeed the case.

It was just after meeting with Li Zhizuo, when he came out of Taiji Palace, he met a group of envoys from the Tang Dynasty who stopped his car, how could Li Qinzai be polite to these Japanese hozens, he immediately ordered twenty sticks to punish them, and then chased them away.

The twenty sticks were executed by Liu Ahsi and the Li family. As for whether anyone was maimed, Li Qinzai didn't ask, and he didn't care.

"It's true, what's the matter? Is Baiqisi going to investigate me for abusing punishment in the street?" Li Qinzai asked with narrowed eyes.

Song Sen hurriedly said: "It's just beating up a few exotic hozens. No matter how idle Baiqisi is, he won't meddle in this kind of business. What's more, he sent Tang envoys to commit crimes first. If he dared to stop the car of the Tang dignitaries, he should be punished."

"Then what do you mean?"

Song Sen sighed: "Baiqisi heard some rumors in Chang'an City recently. The rumors came from those envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. Baiqisi's spies worked hard to find out..."

"The incident of Li Xianbo punishing Tang envoys in the street has aroused public indignation among the Tang envoys. Those Japanese hozens have gathered frequently recently, and it seems that there is a plan that is not good for Li Xianbo. After hearing the news, Baiqisi immediately reported to His Majesty, Your Majesty Said to send someone to report this rumor to County Uncle Li, that's why I came here."

Li Qinzai frowned: "It's not good for me? Does it mean... to assassinate me? Or ask a Taoist priest to curse me to death?"

Song Sen smiled wryly and said, "It's unlikely that Taoist priests will do this. Hozen from the Japanese country believe in Buddhism more... But it is quite possible to assassinate Li Xianbo. I am here to ask Li Xianbo to be very careful and suggest the best It’s good to send some more minions from the Duke’s Mansion to protect you here.”

Li Qinzai waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, I just want to ask one thing. Your Majesty issued an order to expel Tang envoys at the beginning of spring. Why are these hozens still staying in the Tang Dynasty? What do you Baiqisi do for food?"

Song Sen cried bitterly: "The Li County Bo Ke died unjustly and was dismissed as an official. The Baiqisi didn't care about the expulsion of the Tang envoy. That's what Honglu Temple should do. We're just listening to the news. The Li County Bo can't involve us... "

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen! Anyway, it's your Baiqisi's fault!"

Song Sen looked at Li Qinzai, who was sloppy and cheating, in astonishment. After a while, he stammered, "Uncle Li, can you be reasonable? I can't talk to you anymore..."

Li Qinzai returned to normal, and said: "Since someone assassinated me, you Baiqisi must protect me. You found out about the matter, and you should be responsible for protecting me."

Song Sen sighed: "Uncle Li, Baiqisi is not as mysterious as you imagined. We are really just a group of people looking for information. If we want to protect you, we really can't deploy people..."

"Besides, most of Baiqisi's force is probably not even half of your family's trilogy. Are you assured of entrusting your safety to Baiqisi?"

Li Qinzai was surprised: "Bai Qisi is so weak?"

Song Sen was a little angry, but he didn't dare to be angry, he dared not speak out, and said: "It's not that we are weak, it's that our duties are different. I repeat again, we are just scouts, we don't care about fighting..."

After a pause, Song Sen continued: "After the beginning of spring, Your Majesty decreed to expel Tang envoys, but Li Xianbo knew how difficult this matter was. Since the year of Zhenguan, Tang envoys have been sent to Datang one after another, and now they are staying in Datang. The number of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty is at least ten thousand, and it is impossible for these people to drive them out of the Tang Dynasty overnight."

"Honglu Temple has sent Tang envoys back to Japan in batches since the beginning of spring. Among them, naval warships and fishing boats from Dengzhou and Quanzhou were used, but many envoys to Tang did not cooperate. They stayed in Chang'an for life and death, and more of them disappeared. I have disappeared in the countryside, Honglu Temple has done its best."

Li Qinzai said dissatisfied: "So, you came to my Zhuangzi on purpose to tell me the news, and then Baiqisi didn't care about anything?"

Song Sen hurriedly said: "No, after returning to Chang'an, I will arrange more people to investigate and monitor Chang'an's envoys sent to Tang Dynasty, and report the news to Li Xianbo at any time. If the mastermind can be found, the subordinate will also inform him. The Jinwu Guard captured it and wiped it out in one fell swoop."

"However, County Uncle Li, please be careful in the Zhuangzi. It is best to send more people to protect you and your relatives. You are a pillar of talent that His Majesty especially values. You must not lose it."

"Your Majesty also said that he will dispatch some master guards from the palace to the Zhuangzi to protect the safety of you and your disciples. After all, Your Majesty values ​​you so much, and your disciples are also the sons of princes and dignitaries. The disciple stands under a dangerous wall."

Li Qinzai nodded, expressing his understanding.

He will not be like those people who have the aura of the protagonist. He will not be surprised but happy when he hears that someone is going to kill him.

Li Qinzai's combat strength was inferior to the five dregs, and he was not in the mood to face the killer directly.

If you don't have strength, and the killer's knife is pointed at your nose and you still don't rush, then you are not a master, you are an idiot.

"It's been hard work for Song, please tell your majesty when you go back, you must send more experts over here, it's best to surround me even when I go to the latrine, I am the pillar of the country, if the Tang Dynasty loses me, the loss will be too great. " Li Qinzai said solemnly.

Song Sen opened his mouth to echo, but Li Qinzai's words were so confident that he didn't know what to say, and always felt that whatever he said would fuel his arrogance.

"Your official, uh... my official will try my best to protect Li County Bo Zhouquan." Song Sen said dully.

Li Qinzai said sternly: "Doing your best is not enough. If Director Song doesn't mind, why not issue a military order to me in person. If something happens to me, you will come to see Director Song, or swear a poisonous oath. If Zhou Quan didn't protect me, he would be struck by nine thunders, how about that?"
