The heart is sealed with cement, and there is no love in this life.
Mr. Quan instantly realized that the world is not worth it, and being rescued is not worth it either.
Now I have no other thoughts, I just want to kill my relatives and beat the traitor in front of me to death.
All the coffins have been taken out, so what's the point of rescuing them? That's what he needs to make money.
Boy Quan's expression was filled with lovelessness. He looked at Li Qinzai, who was smiling and silent, and then at his rebellious son, feeling as if he was falling into the clouds.
Was it an illusion just now?
The traitor is not that stupid, is he giving away all his coffins?
Quan Xiancheng looked guilty, smiled apologetically at Li Qinzai, and then pulled Quan boy aside.
"It is a great blessing that my father can escape safely. There is no need to worry about the rest." Quan Xiancheng said carefully.
Quan Nan was so angry that he was trembling: "Guizi, you... do you know how much money you gave away? It was all me... hmm? No, why did you send money to County Master Li?"
Quan Xiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "The Duke of County Li did not want to send troops, but his ministers had no choice but to give him money. If not, my father would still be trapped in Cangyan City at this time."
Mr. Quan said angrily: "What are you afraid of? It was the decision of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Yinggong Li Ji to rescue me. How dare he disobey it? They just deliberately blackmailed you, but you fell for it! Bastard!"
Quan Xiancheng sighed: "Does your father know the origin of Duke Li, his importance in the heart of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his temperament?"
The soul asked three questions, leaving the boy speechless.
"My father has been trapped in the city for a long time, so he may not know it, but my son has made inquiries clearly in the past few days."
"This Duke of Li County has a good background. He is the grandson of the Yinggong of the Tang Dynasty, and he is highly regarded by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the Emperor obeys his words and always entrusts him with important matters of the country."
"When the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, Yinggong Li Ji led the main force, but he led a partial army from the south alone. This shows how much the emperor trusted him."
"If he doesn't want to send troops to save my father, even if he violates military orders, does my father think he will be punished?"
Boy Quan was shocked, stroking his beard with an ugly face and saying nothing.
Quan Xiancheng sighed: "Not only that, before sending troops, Duke Li also persuaded his ministers to give up rescuing his father. He also said that what the Tang Dynasty needed was the orthodox title of Goguryeo kingship, and this title could be his father's.
A king can also be a son or minister."
"If the father dies, the sons and ministers will take the throne naturally. It is still orthodox. There is no difference between supporting the father and the sons and ministers for the Tang Dynasty."
Boy Quan trembled all over and turned his head to look at Li Qinzai in horror.
Li Qinzai saw him looking towards him, so he bared his teeth at him and smiled politely.
Boy Quan trembled all over again and quickly turned around.
He smiled so brightly, but he didn't expect that his thoughts were so vicious. He actually didn't want to send troops and wanted to kill himself.
Fortunately, I have a filial son who spent all his family wealth just to ask Li Qinzai to send troops, otherwise he would probably die in Cangyan City today.
Looking at this unlucky son now, no matter how I look at him, I am pleased with him.
"My father is such an eldest son!" Mr. Quan exclaimed, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise my father would be in danger!"
Quan Xiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "It is only natural for a son to go through fire and water for his father. How could he put his father to death for the sake of mere royal power?"
Boy Quan wiped his red eyes with emotion and choked up: "Today is different from the past. From now on, we will only be vassals of the Tang Dynasty. If the powerful people in the Tang Dynasty bully us, we, father and son, can bear it if we can."
Quan Xiancheng also said sadly: "I know this, so in the face of County Duke Li's extortion, I can only bravely... send the money that my father has saved for a long time. As long as you are alive, money is nothing."
"That's right, my son, you have finally grown up, and my father is very happy..."
The father and son comforted each other, moved themselves, and couldn't extricate themselves from the tragic role.
After a long time, the father and son finally wiped away their tears and returned to Li Qinzai.
"Foreign minister, I would like to thank Duke Li once again for sending troops to rescue me. When the Tang Dynasty is defeated by Quan Nanjian, the traitor, I am willing to return to Chang'an with Wang Shi to pay tribute to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty." Quan Nannan said respectfully.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "The king is determined. Now that the siege of Cangyan City has been solved, how about the king follow me north to join forces with Princess Ying?"
"The foreign minister is happy to obey."
At this time, the Tang army had entered Cangyan City. The enemy's defense line had been broken and they fled one after another. Corpses, flags and weapons were scattered outside the city.
Before the smoke cleared, Wang Fangyi led his troops to pursue the fleeing enemy troops, while another part of the Tang army entered Cangyan City with high banners.
Not long after, a down-and-out Goguryeo army came out of the city. This army consisted of about 5,000 men. It was in a very miserable state, and half of them were wounded.
Each one of them was listless, and even their flags were drooping lazily, like middle-aged men who couldn't hand in their homework when they got home.
Li Qinzai watched them curiously, and Mr. Quan hurriedly explained that this army of 5,000 men was his general.
After being usurped by Quan Nanjian, some troops in Pyongyang City were still willing to be loyal to him. Even if they were chased by Quan Nanjian's army, they escorted Quan Nanjian and his son from Pyongyang to Cangyan City without any regrets.
They originally brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, but they fought with Quan Nanjian's rebels along the way and suffered numerous casualties. After entering Cangyan City, thousands of soldiers and horses were lost in order to defend the city, and now only 5,000 soldiers and horses are left.
.
After listening to Mr. Quan's explanation, Li Qinzai couldn't help but praise: "They are all loyal and righteous people. We, the Tang Dynasty, should treat them with courtesy."
"Instruct the rear army to send grain, grass and meat, make pots and rice for these five thousand friendly troops, and reward them."
Mr. Quan and his son hurriedly bowed to express their thanks.
As soon as he finished speaking, a lieutenant general of the Goguryeo army strode over. This general was short in stature, but quite strong. His belly was slightly bulging. He had a standard general's belly. His face was murderous and majestic, and he was somewhat of a tiger general.
style.
The general walked up to Mr. Quan, saluted him, and said in a rough voice: "Your Highness, even if you don't rely on the Tang army, the generals can hold Cangyan City. Why should your Highness surrender to the Tang army and become a vassal?"
The generals spoke Chinese, and the ruling and powerful elites of Goguryeo seemed to know some Chinese, and the written words were all Chinese characters, including official documents and books, etc.
When these words came out, not only the expressions of Quan Nan and his son suddenly changed, but also that of Li Qinzai, who looked at the general with sharp eyes.
Mr. Quan hurriedly bowed to apologize and said in panic: "My lord Li County forgives me. This man's name is Jin Zhenxuan. He is a subordinate of the foreign minister. He has a reckless temperament and speaks unscrupulously. He has no disrespect to the Tang Dynasty and Lord Li County."
meaning."
Li Qinzai smiled: "I'm not deaf. I can tell if he is disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty."
As he spoke, Li Qinzai stared at Jin Zhenxuan and said slowly: "According to your opinion, we, the Tang Army, are meddling in other people's business when we are trying to rescue Cangyan City?"
Jin Zhenxuan cocked his neck and looked at him fearlessly, saying: "That's right, you are just meddling in your own business. Goguryeo and Tang have always been at odds with each other, and I, the King, should not have surrendered to you!"
Li Qinzai's face turned cold: "You mean, you don't want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, I don't want to surrender! If you want to kill me, please do so!"
Mr. Quan was so anxious that his face turned pale with fright. He turned around and shouted sternly: "Shut up! If you dare to say more, you will be killed without mercy!"
Jin Zhenxuan shut up angrily and took a step back.
Li Qinzai sighed. It is not easy to win over people's hearts. It is a trivial matter that Jin Zhenxuan does not want to surrender. If the five thousand Goguryeo troops under the command of Ruoquan boy all think the same thing as Jin Zhenxuan, the matter will be difficult.
