Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 502
Theoretically, going to Tuyuhun as an envoy can also be regarded as a pursuit of poetry and distant places. After all, Tuyuhun is so far away and there are many poems.

Li Qinzai really wanted to find a place to play wild, away from all the grievances and grievances in Chang'an, but Li Zhi immediately sent him the war-torn Tuyuhun.

That's not what it means, bro...

I'm going to play wild, not play wild.

To be honest, Li Qinzai was terrified compared to the loyalty and resignation of death of the trilogy.

How precious is a life that has lived two lifetimes. If he is confessed this time, he doesn't think that God is so merciful and will give him a third chance to be reborn.

In front of the gate of Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai looked around at all the songs, and said slowly: "It's very dangerous to go to Tuyuhun, where the two countries are at war, and if we step into Tuyuhun, it means we're on the battlefield."

"You are willing to risk your life to protect me, and I can't make you feel cold. After returning to the Duke's mansion, each of you will receive twenty coins to leave to your wife, children, and children."

"If you can come back alive from this trip, twenty pennies will be your reward. If you die in battle, twenty pennies will be your pension. The British government will take care of your wives and children for the rest of your life."

All the songs were moved and they cupped their fists to express their gratitude.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai immediately called the accountant in the mansion and gave each of the tributaries [-] pennies to leave to his wife and children.

Then Li Qinzai went to the backyard to meet Li Ji.

Li Ji had heard that Li Qinzai was going to go to Tuyuhun as an envoy, and was waiting for him in the study. When Li Qinzai entered the study to see him, Li Ji looked at him with complicated eyes and sighed.

"The old man didn't expect that His Majesty's preferred envoy would be you."

Li Qinzai licked his dry lips and sighed, "This is exactly what everyone expects..."

Li Ji snorted, and said: "The emperor values ​​you, and you will cherish the opportunity to accumulate qualifications for you. Don't disappoint His Majesty's expectations, and don't embarrass our Li family."

Li Qinzai tentatively said: "Grandpa, how can we not disgrace our family? Is it a shame to turn around and run when encountering the enemy?"

Li Ji said categorically, "Forget it."

"Is it shameful to surrender to the enemy?"

"Calculate!"

"Is it shameful to ruin a woman in Tuyuhun?"

Li Ji stroked his beard and fell into deep thought: "This...it should, probably...not count, right?"

As expected of a general leading the army, he has ordered massacres and looting before. In his moral bottom line, spoiling foreign women is considered a pastime and has nothing to do with morality.

Li Qinzai asked step by step, "Is it shameful to be raped by women from Tuyuhun?"

Li Ji was startled, how could he have the nerve to say such a brazen question?
After pondering for a moment, Li Ji said slowly: "It's not shameful, but if you are the old man, you must be ashamed to live. It is the best destination to draw your sword and kill yourself."

Li Qinzai nodded, now he probably understands Li Ji's moral bottom line.

In short, don't compromise with the enemy. It doesn't matter if the relationship between men and women is chaotic. Whether it is ruined or ruined, it is acceptable.

"Going to Tuyuhun is extremely dangerous, you have to take good care of yourself." Li Ji showed a rare expression of worry.

"Grandpa, don't worry, my grandson is an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Usually, no one would dare to murder me, as long as my grandson doesn't take the initiative to be mean."

"What I'm worried about is that you're taking the initiative to be cheap..." Li Ji said worriedly: "The rulers of Tubo and Tuyuhun were both positive and negative towards the Tang Dynasty. Lord, you should all be on your guard."

"They are not good-neighbors. To be precise, they are unrepentant enemies. Don't think that no one will dare to kill you as an envoy from the Tang Dynasty. The envoys are not much better when the war is at the head of the line and human lives are worthless."

Li Qinzai became serious: "Grandpa, grandson will find a way to protect himself."

Li Ji said again: "Your Majesty's request for you to mediate the war between the two countries is just a way of delaying the war. Your main task is to delay the war and not allow Tubo to easily occupy the entire territory of Tuyuhun."

"When the grains in the Jiangnan and Huainan provinces are all ready, the Tang masters can send troops to Tuyuhun. At that time, your task will be considered complete. Do you really think that you are going to mediate the war? With your weight, it is impossible to mediate. .”

Li Qinzai rolled his eyes: "The grandson is not stupid, but after the grandson left, he asked his grandfather to run around more in the back to collect food as soon as possible. If the grandson stays in Tuyuhun for one more day, the danger will be one more day..."

Looking at Li Ji affectionately, Li Qinzai said: "There are many descendants of the Li family, but the grandson is the most promising one. If he dies in a foreign country, it will not only be a great loss to the Li family, but also a great loss to the Tang Dynasty... "

Li Ji sighed: "In terms of brazenness, no one in the Li family can match you. Go away, say goodbye to your wife and children, and don't be an eyesore in front of this old man."

Li Qinzai had no choice but to leave. Before leaving the house, he looked back at Li Ji, and saw Li Ji flipping through the book expressionlessly, as if it was just a very common thing for his grandson to go to Longtan and Tiger's lair.

A man who has gained fame does not have to act like a child.

It wasn't until Li Qinzai left that Li Ji put down the book in his hand and sighed deeply.

In an instant, his old age was revealed, and his eyes were red.

I'm getting old, and I can't bear the life and death of my loved ones more and more.

The door of the study was pushed open suddenly, Li Qinzai jumped in after going back and forth.

"Haha, I knew Grandpa hated me, so cry!"

"Get out!" Li Ji became furious, picked up the white jade paperweight on the table and threw it over.

…………

The farewell to Cui Jie and Qiao'er was even more inseparable and sad.

Under the worried eyes of Cui Jie and Qiao'er, Li Qinzai swore to God, and took the [-]th generation of his ancestors out for a walk, barely made Cui Jie stop crying, and comforted Qiao'er to sleep.

Early the next morning, people came from the palace, officially announced the imperial decree, and handed over the elite imperial army of one thousand right guards to Li Qinzai, who was under the command of Li Qinzai.

After entering the backyard to bid farewell to Li Ji, Cui Jie and Qiao'er sent him outside the city gate, reluctantly holding him for a long time, Li Qinzai turned around and left cruelly, Cui Jie and Qiao'er stood outside the city gate until the team disappeared, I wiped my tears and went back to the city.

Chang'an City was getting far away, Li Qinzai was riding on the horse, feeling a little depressed.

If you can enjoy peace, who is willing to travel thousands of miles and go to dangerous places?
The team is mighty, heading west slowly.

There are two hundred members of the Li family, one thousand imperial troops on the right guard, and more than 100 horses that were spared to load the food and water. These are all of this team.

After leaving Chang'an for more than two hours, Li Qinzai finally calmed down a bit.

Next to him were Liu Asi and Lao Wei, and the right guard of the Thousand Guards was commanded by a captain.

The captain is about thirty years old, just at the prime of life, with a strand of green beard under his jaw fluttering in the wind, his facial features are ordinary but revealing a bit of fierceness.

Li Qinzai cupped his hands at him: "I haven't asked for advice yet..."

The captain hurriedly clasped his fists in return: "The last general, Guo Yi, Captain Sun Congdong, is from Luoyang, and belongs to the right guard. He was once on guard at the Taiji Palace. He was ordered to go to Tuyuhun with Li Xianbo."
