Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 674
Yi Duo was dumbfounded. He stared at the map Li Qinzai had just drawn in front of him, silently distinguishing the authenticity of the map.

The dotted line on the map stretches from Tocharian to the so-called New World. Every turn and curve is extremely real. Combined with the experience that the Tocharian businessman said at the time, it completely coincides with this dotted line.

The merchant's voyage route was actually drawn by him.

That is to say, the Tang nobleman in front of him really knew the specific location of the new grain. As he said, he was just trying to force a confession to save himself some trouble.

Li Qinzai looked at his expression calmly, and said: "The new grain you mentioned tastes good, but after all, it is less delicious when eaten raw. It is more suitable for boiling, roasting, and steaming. After peeling off the red skin, the inside The meat is dark yellow in color, glutinous and glutinous, with a bit of sweetness, more delicious than other staple foods."

Yi Duo said in shock: "You, have you seen it?"

Li Qinzai smiled inscrutablely, and said, "If what I said just now is wrong, you can point it out."

Yido opened his mouth, then lowered his head.

There is nothing wrong, every sentence is justified, and Ido cannot refute it.

From being confident to completely desperate, it only took one meal.

Yi Duo knew that he had no bargaining chips, and the map in front of him shattered the only secret he kept.

Li Qinzai looked at him coldly. The purpose of his discussion with Yi Duo today was to break his psychological defense.

Physical torture is far worse than a single sentence piercing his heart.

The words that should be said have been finished, and Li Qinzai's goal has been achieved, so he stood up and said to Liu Asi who was behind him: "There is no need to tie him up anymore, treat him with food and drink, and treat him as a distinguished guest of my house."

After speaking, Li Qinzai smiled and turned to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Guanshi Song hurried over, sweating slightly on his forehead.

"Five Shaolang, your student, His Highness the Fourth Prince, sent a message that thousands of Nestorians have left Chang'an City in batches and are coming towards our Zhuangzi. Obviously they intend to make trouble."

Li Qinzai was startled, and then sneered: "Yang Shuen is very good at instigating people's hearts, and the court and the people are both ways."

Guan Shi Song said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince also said that among the thousands of people, there may be rangers and martial arts practitioners who may take advantage of the chaos to sneak into our other courtyard and even assassinate you. Wu Shaolang, please be careful .”

"Wu Shaolang, we only have a few hundred songs in our other courtyard. I'm afraid we can't stop these believers. Why don't we gather farmers and seal off the entrance of the village..."

Li Qinzai hummed, and said, "Persist for a few more days, and there will probably be results."

Steward Song looked at him in bewilderment, not understanding what the "result" Li Qinzai was talking about, he only knew that the immediate crisis had to be resolved, and if something happened to Wu Shaolang in his own courtyard, he, the steward, would die forever.

"Don't worry, Wu Shaolang. Several of your disciples have summoned their attendants from their mansions and are rushing towards Zhuangzili. They will arrive in about two hours."

Li Qinzai smiled and murmured: "These little bastards..."

Chang'an City.

Yang Shuen's house is located in Pingkangfang. Pingkangfang is a very magical place. In the capital of Tang Dynasty, the prime minister and prostitutes lived together in this square.

As for why Yang Shuen Tangtang also lives in Pingkang Fang, probably... it is for the convenience of life, as soon as he takes off his pants when he goes out, he arrives at the place.

At this moment in Yang's house, a believer stood in front of Yang Shu'en, bowing his head respectfully, with abnormal fanatical worship in his eyes, which seemed a bit crazy.

"You mean, the woman who escorted Yi Duo left Ganjingzhuang with her entourage?" Yang Shuen asked slowly.

"Yes, we have set up eyeliner around Zhuangzi. The woman left Zhuangzi yesterday, heading west."

Yang Shuen frowned and said, "It is said that she is Li Qinzai's woman. What are you going to do when you leave for no reason at this time?"

The believer bowed his head and said: "The head teacher asked Li Qinzai for someone, and that Yiduo said that he had discovered a new grain. After Yiduo said this, Li Qinzai immediately changed his mind, turned against him temporarily, and chose to save Yiduo , the woman's sudden departure, is it related to the new grain that Yiduo said?"

Yang Shu'en nodded: "It makes sense, this is probably the only explanation... New grains, hehe, Yi Duo's bargaining chip to save his life is not small. Whether it is true or not, Li Qinzai has no choice but to save him."

The believers were silent for a moment, then suddenly hesitated and said: "Master, Li Qinzai holds a lot of weight in the court, and the emperor is very fond of him. Why do we have to offend him for a traitor? It may not be wise for us Nestorians."

Yang Shuen said coldly: "Do you think I'm a stupid person who doesn't know the current affairs? A month ago, the head teacher of Persia sent news that I must kill Iduo. This person committed a heinous crime in the head teacher. Order to hunt him down at all costs, if Yi Duo survives, the head teacher of the Eastern Nestorian Church will be replaced."

"If you were me, what would you do?"

The believers were stunned for a while, and could only smile wryly: "In this case, Nestorian can only choose to continue to be hostile to Li Qinzai."

Yang Shuen pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "It is a good thing for us that the woman left Ganjing Village. You immediately send the masters of the sect out of the city and follow her footsteps to the west."

"In the area of ​​Chang'an City, I can't do anything to Li Qinzai, but if his woman leaves Chang'an City, how can I be afraid of Nestorianism? Take his woman and use it as a hostage to force Li Qinzai to exchange Yi Duo."

The believers respectfully took orders and left.

Yang Shuen leaned back lazily, narrowing his eyes slightly.

For the head teacher of a religion, he doesn't care about new crops at all. What he cares about is his position as the head teacher, because this position has brought him too many benefits over the years, and he can't let it go. Abandon.

…………

In the evening, Ganjingzhuang.

On the village entrance road in the southeast, many obstacles were quietly placed, such as antlers, repelling horses, and wooden fences, all of which were used to resist the enemy on the enemy's battle line.

These were all laid out by the village households. After the steward Song of the other courtyard greeted each family, Zhuangzi immediately mobilized the young and strong to seal off the road at the entrance of the village.

Not long after the entrance to the village was sealed off, several cavalry teams of hundreds of people rushed over, and the farmers stepped forward to inquire.

When Li Sujie and others learned that the believers had come to Ganjingzhuang to make trouble, they immediately summoned their troops and sent cavalry to Ganjingzhuang first to help the husband guard the entrance of the village.

As for Li Sujie and others, they are still on their way, and these cavalry teams can be regarded as their forwards.

After dismounting from the horses, the leading team members exchanged a few words, then joined forces, and soon formed an formation at the entrance of the village, drawing their knives and halberds to stand ready.

After waiting for half an hour, a group of people came slowly from the entrance of the village. Some of them were walking, some were riding in bullock carts. They were all common people.

The tribals at the entrance of the village tightened their expressions, they knew that a difficult confrontation was coming.
