Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 547 Your Highness Stop Poking
At this moment, Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong have realized the seriousness of the matter.

very serious.

On the Tubo side, Li Qinzai was assassinated once by Tubo on the way westward. Later, Li Qinzai's regiment wiped out the Tubo mission.

But tonight, the Tubo mission assassinated Li Qinzai again, which is unreasonable. If the report is reported to Chang'an, one can imagine how furious the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will be.

The envoys represented the emperor, regardless of their status or prestige, they were directly equated with the emperor, and the assassination once or twice did not take the emperor of Tang Dynasty seriously at all.

This is no longer just a land dispute between Tuyuhun, but Tubo has slapped the Emperor of Tang in the face once or twice.

If there is still room for change in the Tuyuhun land dispute between Tubo and Datang, then the two successive assassinations of the Tang envoys are a sure thing, and the war must be fought if not fought, and morally speaking, Datang has already occupied commanding heights.

For Tuyuhun, the consequences were even more serious. Now that most of Tuyuhun's territory had been lost, the only hope was that the Tang Suzerain sent troops to help them repel the enemy.

And Princess Honghua, as an envoy of Tuyuhun, dared to conspire with Tubo to assassinate the envoy of Tang. Would Tang help you to defeat the enemy?Do you really think that Datang started by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue?
If this matter is leaked, Tuyuhun Khan and his wife will be waiting to die in the end of the world, and Tubo and Datang will swallow Tuyuhun until there is no scum left.

Li Qinzai, who had only one breath left, clamored weakly to write a memorial to send to the emperor, and asked the British master Gongxing to avenge him, Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong were in cold sweat.

They knew that they were in for a big deal.

Originally, the plan was quite good, killing Li Qinzai and blaming the other party, all goals have been achieved, people are as good as God, who knows that the other party has the same idea.

When the book is used, there is little hatred. After reading the book of sages and sages, I know that Ban Chao killed the Huns mission.

Li Qinzai's face was like gold paper, his eyes were closed tightly as if he was dying, but he was still muttering: "Revenge, Master Xing will avenge me..."

Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong became more and more frightened.

Sun Congdong didn't let go of the horizontal knife on Lun Zhongcong's neck, and shouted angrily, "Li Xianbo hold on for a while, and I'll send them down to accompany you in the end!"

"...to make pottery figurines."

"Yes, make pottery figurines and bury them in the livestock pit." Sun Congdong snapped.

The courtyard was filled with murderous aura, and all the imperial guards drew their knives and glared at the two of them.

Lun Zhongcong could no longer suppress the fear in his heart. He was an envoy of Tubo, but in essence, he was just a counselor next to Lu Dongzan. Counselors are not necessarily smart people, but most of them are people who are afraid of death.

"Wait a minute, Uncle Li, I would like to compensate Datang on behalf of Tubo and atone for my crime!" Lun Zhongcong said in cold sweat.

Princess Honghua was startled, and immediately said without thinking: "I would also like to compensate Datang on behalf of Tuyuhun and atone for my crime."

Li Qinzai, who was about to smile at Jiuquan, took a breath suddenly, opened his eyes miraculously, raised his arms tremblingly, and said hoarsely: "Help me up, I think I can save it again..."

Sun Congdong bowed hastily, and carefully helped Li Qinzai to prop up half of his body on the soft sedan chair.

When Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong saw that Li Qinzai's waist was no longer hurting and he was out of breath, they suddenly became suspicious and looked at him carefully with their eyes wide open.

However, from the blood oozing from the cloth strips wrapped around Li Qinzai's abdomen and arms, it was impossible to tell whether his injuries were real or not.

Sun Congdong held Li Qinzai's arm and looked up at them weakly.

"What you just... said is believable?"

Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong hesitated in their hearts, but after the words had been spoken, they still bit the bullet and nodded.

Li Qinzai sighed, lay down on the soft sedan chair again, was silent for a while, and said softly: "Forget it, Li Qinzai's life and death are nothing to worry about, the community is the most important thing, if I can win something for the Tang Dynasty, I don't want to take revenge."

Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong's faces became increasingly ugly.

With one word out, one can imagine what kind of compromise the two of them will make to Datang next.

"Sun Congdong, find a quiet room and send me in. I want to talk to them one by one." Li Qinzai said weakly.

The soldiers carried Li Qinzai into a clean and remote room in the posthouse, and then more than ten Buqu guarded the door with swords, staring at Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong in the yard with murderous expressions.

Sun Congdong came out of the room, stared at Princess Honghua and said, "Mr. Li has an order to see Princess Honghua first, please!"

Princess Honghua sighed sadly, got up and straightened her clothes, and walked into the house alone.

As soon as he walked in, the door of the room was closed by the step outside, and only Li Qinzai and her were left in the small room.

Princess Honghua stared at Li Qinzai, and said coldly, "Is your injury really true, or is it just pretending?"

Li Qinzai was still lying on the soft sedan chair, pointed to his abdomen, and said, "If your highness doesn't believe me, why don't you take a look at my wound yourself?"

Princess Honghua didn't want to look at the blood-stained clothes on his belly.

At this moment, she has understood a reality, whether Li Qinzai's injury is real or fake, at this stage, it makes no difference.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Honghua said, "Tell me, under what conditions can your injury magically heal without medicine?"

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "Are you mocking me? Believe it or not, I'm going to die right now for you to see?"

"Li Qinzai, don't make a fuss. I'll accept what happened tonight. You can put forward conditions."

Li Qinzai pondered for a moment, and said: "Tuyuhun, you and your wife can't keep it anymore, even if there's nothing tonight, you can't keep it either."

Princess Honghua was silent. Although it was cruel, she knew that Li Qinzai was telling the truth.

Tang and Tubo are both big countries, and Tuyuhun seems very small being sandwiched between the two big countries, not to mention that Tuyuhun is now defeated like a mountain, and it is only one step away from the country's subjugation.

If the Tang Dynasty did not send troops, Tuyuhun could only be swallowed up by Tubo. If the Tang Dynasty sent troops, even if Tubo was defeated, Tuyuhun's land would not be returned to the Khan couple.

Since the emperor rejected the request to replace the envoy, Princess Honghua has understood the fact that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to control Tuyuhun himself.

Then, if Khan Tuyuhun didn't know how to advance and retreat, he would be very annoying.Those whom the emperor of the Tang Dynasty hates, the invincible master of the Tang army will naturally be wiped out by the emperor.

"Since Tuyuhun can't be kept, what's the point of your offer? Do I still care about your threats?" Princess Honghua looked at Li Qinzai with a sneer.

Li Qinzai nodded: "It makes sense."

"You said."

"The significance lies in whether you and your husband will continue to live a life of prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life, or will you be a pair of mandarin ducks who are desperate to be hunted down by two great powers at the same time."

Princess Honghua glared at him: "What do you mean?"

"It means that if you and Tuyuhun Khan are interested, you will formally present the Zen throne to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and ask the suzerain to take over Tuyuhun on your behalf, and you and your wife are still distinguished guests of the Tang Dynasty. And enjoy endless wealth in a lifetime."

"What if we don't know the fun?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "Then, the Xian couple may die in the rebel army. You and Tubo are fighting like a raging fire. Any accidents may happen. If you die, Datang will drive them away under the banner of avenging the Khan and his wife." Tubo, take over Tuyuhun."

"There is no difference in the results of the two, but the process is different. The fate of the Xian couple is also very different. Please think twice, Your Highness the Princess."

Princess Honghua glared at him and said, "Since the day you set off from Chang'an, you've been thinking about it, right? Datang didn't intend to help Tuyuhun defeat Tubo at all, but just like Tubo, he wanted to swallow Tuyuhun, right? "

Li Qinzai shut his mouth and didn't speak. We are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to dig your heart out with you.

Princess Honghua took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to poke his abdomen, and said with a sneer while poking, "The so-called injury is probably fake, right? You need a reason to turn your face, and Datang also needs a reason to annex Tuyuhun. Today Tonight, I personally delivered the reason to you."

Li Qinzai grinned from being poked, avoided it uncomfortably, and said, "Your Highness, please respect yourself, don't just poke a strong man..."

Princess Honghua withdrew her hand, thinking that Tuyuhun had been coveted by the two great powers and could no longer recover, she couldn't help but sadly smiled and said: "Okay, okay! There are many talented people in the Tang Dynasty, what a young talent, the emperor has you to help me, the future will be endless." Ten years will definitely not suffer!"

"As you wish, I will return to Yuhun to persuade Khan to give the emperor the throne of Zen! I just hope that the emperor of Tang Dynasty can give me and my wife a decent rest of their lives."
