Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 562 Entering Tuyuhun

Although there are tens of millions of people, I am going.

Li Qinzai was never a noble person, he even hated the word "noble", always felt that it had a derogatory connotation, and it was disgusting to use this word to praise others.

He doesn't like to stand on the moral high ground, and hates others to lift him to the moral high ground.Ordinary people, don't put your hat on.

An ordinary person, joy, anger, sorrow, greed, anger, and ignorance, a little bit of everything, and not too much.When encountering beauty, one is still tempted. When encountering money, greed is inevitable. In the face of death, one can hide as much as one can. If one is not so noble, one has to face death. Isn’t that sick?

But this time, Li Qinzai still bit the bullet and embarked on a life-or-death journey.

It can't be said that he has no hesitation, he just feels that his work is not done, and he is a little sorry for Li Zhi's trust, and he is also sorry for the expectations of his wife and children.

The strategic position of Tuyuhun is undoubtedly very important to Datang. If Datang fails to seize it this time, how will history books describe him as an envoy of the Son of Heaven?

Many years later, Qiao'er, who had grown up, asked him suspiciously, why was it still taken by Tubo in the end, when the Tang Dynasty was only one step away from capturing Tuyuhun?Why is the relationship between the mainland of the Tang Dynasty and the Protectorate of Anxi always restrained by Tubo?
How should Li Qinzai answer him?
I'm sorry, son, your father was cowardly back then, and the Tubo grand minister waited for me to talk with him. I didn't dare to go, but Tuyuhun was taken by Tubo. I bought you a piece of candy, can you forgive me?
Tsk, Li Qinzai doesn't have the face to make it up anymore, if he is cowardly, he is cowardly, and the father in the heart of a son who buys a piece of candy becomes great?
Even if it is for the sake of his son not to look down on him in the future, Li Qinzai has to bite the bullet and meet him this time.

As a father, some things are more important than life. I can die, but I must not leave an excuse for future generations to let them run to their own graves every Qingming and spit on their tombstones.

Leaving Liangzhou City, there is a desolation outside the city. Under the gray sky, a few flocks of cattle and sheep are scattered, struggling to push aside the withered yellow hay with their tongues, and eat the roots buried deep in the ground.

Several herdsmen held their whips, sat on the stone and looked at the sky in a daze, with dark and miserable faces, silently telling that all living beings are suffering, and they only cultivate the afterlife.

The people rode out of the city and headed west.

After running for dozens of miles in half a day, looking at a piece of yellow sand and hills, there is no end in sight.

After dismounting and resting for a while, after eating dry food and drinking water, the group set off again.

Until the evening, Li Qinzai and others rushed to the vicinity of Qinghai Lake, so they ordered to set up camp and feed the horses.

This place has already entered the territory of Tuyuhun, and the undulating Qilian Mountains can be faintly seen in the distance, and the desert hills are still endless.

After seeing enough of these desolate scenery, Li Qinzai felt that there was no grass in his heart.

The fresh roasted leg of lamb temporarily soothed the psychological boredom. Li Qinzai sat by the campfire, wrapped in a blanket, while Liu Asi cut off the roasted leg of lamb with a dagger and placed it in front of him.

"Wu Shaolang, General Zheng sent an order that the five thousand frontier troops have been mobilized to Qilian Mountains to support Wu Shaolang at any time. If there is any change in Wu Shaolang's camp in Tubo, the five thousand frontier troops will immediately send troops..."

Li Qinzai hummed, and then sighed: "It's a psychological comfort. If Lu Dongzan puts the knife on my neck, will he still wait for our five thousand frontier troops to come from Qilian Mountain?"

Liu Asi said in a deep voice: "If Lu Dongzan really dares to do this, we will fight a bloody path for Wu Shaolang in the next part, and never let Lu Dongzan do harm to you."

Li Qinzai smiled: "There really was a moment when there were only two hundred people in our area, not enough to fit people's teeth. No matter how hard we tried, it was useless. The Tubo army drowned us with just one pee."

Liu Asi's cheeks twitched a few times, and said: "The reasoning is correct, but...you should be more tactful, it would be too aggrieved to be drowned in urine."

"Don't worry, Lu Dongzan should not dare to do anything to me. He is also afraid of giving Datang a reason to send troops, and dare to kill the envoy of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, unless he doesn't want to die."

Liu Asi was puzzled and said: "But you said that Tubo will inevitably fight the Tang Dynasty. Since a war is inevitable, does it make any difference to him whether he kills the envoy or not?"

"Of course there is a difference. Whether to kill an envoy or not is the difference between righteousness and guilt. For example, you thought your mother-in-law's food was not good, so you punished her hard. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Asi straightened her chest: "Of course there's nothing wrong with it. The mother-in-law doesn't cook well, so why don't you give her a hard time!"

"If your mother-in-law found out that you hooked up with the female shopkeeper of the silk shop in Liangzhou City, and deliberately made the food unpalatable, would you have the nerve to deal with her?"

Liu Asi said straightforwardly: "Of course it's a shame! What's wrong with the man hooking up with the woman outside? The woman at home doesn't cook well, so I still have to deal with it!"

Li Qinzai opened his mouth in astonishment, and found himself speechless.

So, should the generation gap and value difference that have been separated by thousands of years be reflected in this kind of shit?
The man who lives in Datang is a real man, standing straight.

Suddenly there is a slight regret, I should have put that beautiful Loulan princess to sleep today, the trilogy around me is so broken, why should I hold the chastity archway?

Liu Asi looked at him confusedly: "Five Shaolang, what do you mean by the analogy? What does it have to do with my mother-in-law if Lu Dongzan kills us?"

Li Qinzai's interest suddenly faded, and he didn't even bother to compare it.

"It's nothing, I wish you happiness, a loving husband and wife, and grow old together..." Li Qinzai sighed.

…………

Zi Nu walked out of the prison in Liangzhou City alone with a small bundle on her shoulders.

Standing far outside the gate of the governor's mansion, Zi Nu hesitated and hesitated.Finally, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ask the guard in front of the Governor's Mansion about Li Qinzai.

The guards knew Zi Nu. When she was in the governor's mansion, this stunning maiko caused a sensation among the guards and servants in the mansion. Knowing that she was the private maiko of Li Xianbo, many guards were still not afraid to peek at her from afar. Seeing this stunning beauty, it was worth being punished by the Shangguan.

Zi Nu was imprisoned and released, all under the orders of County Uncle Li. The guard didn't want to talk to her, but in the end, after seeing her beauty, the guard seemed to be hypnotized, and said it out loudly.

Zi Nu was shocked and didn't move for a long time.

"He... dares to go to the Tubo camp alone, is he going to die?" Zi Nu murmured absentmindedly.

Raised by Lu Dongzan since she was a child, Zi Nu knew Lu Dongzan's character very well, and she knew very well how cruel and merciless this Tubo prime minister, who is above ten thousand people, is.

Li Qinzai had killed the Tubo missions twice, and to Lu Dongzan, it was already a monstrous hatred. Now that he dared to send it to Lu Dongzan's lips, how could he not die?

No wonder he entered the prison today, and after flirting with her, he released her for no reason. From the looks of it now, it seemed that he had the intention of confessing the funeral.
