Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 546 Dying
Li Qinzai led hundreds of forbidden soldiers to the posthouse.

Liangzhou city is not big, the governor's mansion, market, restaurants and post houses in the city are basically located in the relatively prosperous east city, while the west city is the residential area and Zhechong government office.

On the way to the posthouse, Li Qinzai's mind was still spinning rapidly.

Killing the missionary warriors just now was revenge and punishment, but now I have to think a little more about going to the post to meet the envoys of the two countries.

Don't say anything about hatred in advance, you have to get enough benefits, otherwise I'm sorry for the fright I received tonight.

The soldiers of the imperial army led the way with torches, and Li Qinzai was surrounded by the crowd. When he was approaching the post, Li Qinzai stopped suddenly.

Liu Ahsi stepped forward and asked, "Fifth Shaolang, what's the matter?"

Li Qinzai's eyes flickered, and he said softly: "Go and get me a soft sedan chair, and get me some dog blood."

"Fifth Young Master, are you going to..."

"Ask less, go!"

Soon, the soft sedan chair and dog blood were ready. Li Qinzai cut a cut in the abdomen of the clothes with a knife, sprinkled the dog blood on the cut, found a cloth strip, bound the abdomen, and continued to sprinkle the dog blood.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was still not realistic enough, so I also cut a hole in the sleeve, and used dog blood to do the same thing, then messed up the hair, and painted the face pale with a woman's powder.

After observing carefully for a while, Li Qinzai nodded in satisfaction, and then collapsed on the soft sedan in a state of exhaustion, struggled to open his eyelids as he was dying, and looked at Liu Ah Si with a pale face.

"How is it? Do you have a strong urge to celebrate Qingming Festival for me?" Li Qinzai asked.

Liu Asi said with an ugly face: "Fifth Shaolang, it's so realistic, it looks like you're only breathing... But what are you trying to do? Cursing yourself like this is too taboo and unlucky."

"Let me teach you a truth. Whether you are an official or an envoy, pretending to be dead is a compulsory course. If you learn this course well, there will be more benefits than you can imagine."

Liu Ahsi didn't understand, he only drew his sword to kill.

Li Qinzai looked around and saw some rough men around him, he couldn't help but sighed in disappointment: "I knew I should have brought King Luo Bin to Liangzhou and sang oboe with him.

After thinking about it, Li Qinzai called Sun Congdong, but he had no choice but to pull out the general from the short man, who happened to be the general.

Whispering a few words in Sun Congdong's ear, Sun Congdong declined with embarrassment, Li Qinzai rolled his eyes and kicked him again, and Sun Congdong reluctantly agreed with a bitter face.

After the exhortation, Li Qinzai rolled his eyes suddenly and let out a long and painful moan.

Sun Congdong waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army carried soft sedan chairs and walked towards the post.

When he came to the gate of the post house, Sun Congdong shouted loudly: "Surround me around the post house! Don't let anyone go!"

The soldiers with torches acted separately, and the post was surrounded after a while.

Sun Congdong ordered someone to carry Li Qinzai, who was dying, into the door, walked to the middle of the courtyard and put Li Qinzai down.

Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong came out in a panic, and saw Li Qinzai lying on the soft sedan chair in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes closed, his face pale, and his chest didn't even seem to rise and fall. Looking at each other, they found that each other's eyes were full of fear.

what happened?Isn't it two groups of people killing each other?Why was Li Qinzai injured? Judging from his injury, it seems that the injury is not serious, and he is about to die.

When the two were in doubt, Sun Congdong took a step forward with his saber, and said with grief and indignation: "You dare to set up an ambush to assassinate the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, how courageous you are! Come, kill them for me!"

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army behind him responded with a bang, drew their swords and stepped forward, staring fiercely at the two of them.

Princess Honghua said in a trembling voice: "Wait a minute! I am Princess Datang, the Son of Heaven's own sister, who dares to touch me?"

Sun Congdong said in grief and indignation: "Uncle Li was stabbed, seeing that he is dying. I am not effective in protecting County Uncle Li. I deserve death. Returning to Chang'an is also a death penalty. Why don't you kill them all and give Uncle Li a back!"

Lun Zhongcong was startled and said, "This general calms down. The assassination of the Tang envoy has nothing to do with us. Do you want to start a war of the Three Kingdoms?"

Sun Congdong said angrily: "How dare you deny it at a time like this! It's not good to bully me!"

When the three were arguing, Li Qinzai on the soft sedan struggled to open his eyes and coughed weakly twice.

The three of them were immediately attracted by his movement, and Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong immediately flew in front of him, looking at him with concern.

I swear in the name of the ancestors, at this moment, Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong want Li Qinzai to be safe and sound, free from disease and disaster, and live longer...

"Uncle Li County, I will call the doctor for you..." Princess Honghua trembled.

Among the people present, she was the most frightened person.

Tubo was not worried about the failure of the assassination of the Tang envoy. The worst outcome would be a war with the Tang Dynasty. Now that the situation in Tuyuhun was ahead, no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, war was inevitable.

But Tuyuhun can't do it, if it loses the protection of Datang, there is no suspense that it will be swallowed by Tubo and Datang together.

Princess Honghua regretted it. She found that she had taken a risky move and failed.

The idea is good, the ambush set up tonight is very precise regardless of the time and place, but who would have thought that there would be an accident, the original killing situation was instantly reversed, and Tuyuhun was pushed into the abyss.

Princess Honghua knew that if tonight's matter was not handled properly, she and Nuohebo Khan would never even think about regaining the lost land and returning to the Khan position. The enemies of the two great powers can only wander around the world and go into exile from now on.

Li Qinzai looked on the verge of death, opened his eyes and groaned weakly, stretched out his hand tremblingly as if explaining the funeral, and pointed at Princess Honghua.

Princess Honghua's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, this matter is a misunderstanding... What do you want to say?"

Li Qinzai pointed at Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong, and turned his head to look at Sun Congdong with difficulty.

Sun Congdong cupped his fists sadly, and said with red eyes, "What orders does County Uncle Li have, the general will obey."

After a long time, Li Qinzai pointed to the two envoys and said hoarsely, "Put them... in pottery figurines and bury them with me... Remember to bury them in the livestock pit, so that historians can do archaeology..."

Clang!
Without saying a word, Sun Congdong drew out the horizontal knife, and stared fiercely at the two of them. The next moment, the cold horizontal knife was already on Lun Zhongcong's neck.

Lun Zhongcong turned pale with shock: "Your envoy, why are you here!"

Li Qinzai's face and lips were frighteningly white, and he said weakly, "If you kill me, I will kill you too,...it's fair."

"Your envoy, think twice, you have slaughtered my Tubo mission, if you kill me again, aren't you afraid that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will blame you?"

Li Qinzai didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. He closed his eyes and said, "After I die, let it be a flood... Lun Zhong Cong, if you dare to set up an ambush to assassinate me, you should bear the consequences."

The horizontal knife on his neck exuded a faint cold light, Sun Congdong's eyes were crazy and cruel, Lun Zhongcong couldn't stop shaking, he realized that today was the closest he was to death.

As long as the knife in Sun Congdong's hand is just a little bit harder, Lun Zhongcong's parents have raised him for nothing for decades.

Li Qinzai still closed his eyes, raised his hand slowly, pointed accurately at Princess Honghua, and said weakly: "Your Highness, you are the second, and Tuyuhun is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty... the vassal state dares to assassinate the suzerain envoy, you may as well try Can the title of Princess Datang still protect you?"

Princess Honghua's heart trembled, and she screamed involuntarily: "I didn't! I didn't do it, it was the Tubo people!"

Lun Zhongcong was furious: "Your Highness, you are too despicable!"

Li Qinzai suddenly trembled, stood up with difficulty and coughed profusely. Sun Congdong supported him sadly and kept stroking his back.

Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong looked at him with pale faces, and every cough of Li Qinzai made them tremble with fear.

After coughing for a long time, Li Qinzai lay back down weakly. He inadvertently looked at his abdomen wrapped in cloth strips. Li Qinzai said sadly: "Ah, the wound is oozing blood again..."

Sun Congdong said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle Li, you must hold on!"

Li Qinzai gasped and said, "Call the clerks of the governor's office to write down the details of today's assassination, and send them to Chang'an in eight hundred miles."

"...Also tell my grandfather Yingying that my grandson will no longer be able to fulfill my filial piety at his knees! Grandpa, please be sure to join hands with all the veterans of the Tang Dynasty to discuss the rebellion between Tubo and Tuyuhun, and Master Xing Wang to avenge me!"
