What Li Qinzai didn't understand was that Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi had just cooperated. Although the process was not clear, the result was obviously good.
Lu Jiajiduo was indeed eliminated, and Li Qinzai personally carried his head into the Tai Chi Palace.
It stands to reason that the honeymoon period of their recent collaboration has not passed yet, and Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi are in the midst of a passionate love affair. It is not necessary for the two of them to be intimate with each other, and they will not suddenly fight each other with fists and feet.
"Tell me, why don't you two stop fighting?" Li Qinzai squatted under the ginkgo tree in the yard and looked at the two people with stunned expressions.
Feeling angry at the sight, Li Qinzai glanced at Xue Na and said: "It's just Wu Minzhi, he's just a dandy and a waste waiting to die. Be careful, my dear brother, you are someone who has been on the battlefield after all, and won the battle without a bloody blow."
The enemy's city, look at the way you fought just now..."
"Pull your hair, spit, scratch your face... If you, a famous general of your generation, knew that your dogs were fighting like this, your ambition to make great achievements would have been wiped out."
Wu Minzhi weakly emphasized: "I am not a waste..."
Xue Ne looked stunned: "Young brother's achievements in Goguryeo... he basically didn't do anything with his hands. He relied on his brain to achieve his achievements."
"Brain, brain..." Li Qinzai was stunned: "Do you have that thing? I believed you when you said you relied on your face to achieve merit."
Staring at the two of them impatiently, Li Qinzai said: "Hurry up and tell me the reason, then get out."
Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi quickly looked at each other, and Xue Ne reluctantly told the reason for the fight between the two.
The root cause was the play that the two of them performed in front of Lu Jiajido that night outside the Honglu Temple Inn.
Of course, the scene between the two was not that good. The main thing was that Xue Na's anxious expression set off the atmosphere. Lu Jiayi didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he panicked and fell into the trap.
However, Wu Minzhi's acting skills were a bit out of control at the time. There were too many factors that were involved in the performance on the spot, especially the part where he was swaying all over, because it was too exaggerated, and the secret was almost exposed.
When the news came that Lu Jiayi was executed, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and came to the British government together to announce the good news and take credit.
When the two people who had just worked together got together, it was natural that they could not help but talk about the exciting scene that night.
While chatting, the two of them started talking a little bit wrong.
Xue Na blamed Wu Minzhi for acting too fake and exaggerated. For a good actor, his acting must be based on reality. When he comes on stage, he must act naturally and sincerely, but also pay attention to propriety and emotional involvement. Wu Minzhi's acting skills that night can be said to be the whole scene.
It collapsed, thanks to Xue Ne who turned the tide.
Wu Minzhi was also a little unhappy. I call this expressionistic acting. The character's image and personality, as well as the changes in the heart at different stages, were all expressed through the severity of the swing.
Lu Jiajiduo was scared away by his god-like acting skills. The results were clearly displayed in front of his eyes, and they were all achieved by Wu Minzhi's vivid acting skills. What does a layman like Xue Ne know?
The two of them each talked about their own reasons, and the more they talked, the more angry they became.
Xue Ne complained that Wu Minzhi had no sense of measure and his acting skills were exaggerated. Wu Minzhi blamed Xue Ne for being too harsh and almost knocked out his shit after beating him a few times.
The two of them got angry as they talked.
They were all domineering dandies running rampant in Chang'an, and no one could tolerate anyone else, so they simply took action in the Duke's Mansion.
After hearing the reason, Li Qinzai finally satisfied his curiosity.
Well, the whole excitement had a cause and effect, and it started and ended well. As a spectator, Li Qinzai found that he was successful.
"I heard that Lu Jiayiduo has been executed. Brother Jingchu has done his best to eliminate traitors for the country, and his merits will last forever." Xue Na said with a wide-eyed smile.
Wu Minzhi patted Xue Ne on the shoulder and said: "Uncle Xue did not care about honor or disgrace, and he personally lured the enemy, which is also an indispensable contribution."
Xue Na was startled, and then immediately said: "The good nephew of Min made a greater sacrifice to eliminate the traitors. Lu Jiayiduo fell into the good nephew's trick, and he ended up being executed. If you say that the credit is half of mine, it is also yours."
half of."
Li Qinzai glanced at the two goods unkindly.
They were pulling each other's hair and spitting just now, and now they are complimenting each other. Who said that the dandies in Chang'an only know how to use their power to run amok? In fact, they are all really human beings.
"Okay, don't be disgusting. I know what you two mean. The most expensive brothel in Pingkangfang will treat you to a drink tonight, and Mr. Li will foot the bill." Li Qinzai said with a disgusted expression.
Speaking of drinking, the hangover from last night came back again. Li Qinzai's face turned green, his stomach swelled, and he almost vomited.
Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi were overjoyed when they heard this. They bowed to Li Qinzai in unison and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Jingchu (Mr.) for your generosity. I feel sorry for it, but it is disrespectful."
Li Qinzai waved his hand: "Go home and sharpen your guns before the battle. It all depends on your ability as to how many you choose tonight. Go back and practice more squats and anus."
Wu Minzhi stretched out his hand sideways, looked at Xue Na and said affectionately: "Uncle Xue, please."
Xue Ne also suddenly came to the road and said seriously: "My good nephew, please invite me."
"The elder is respected, Master Xue should be invited first."
"I can't afford to offend you, so please go ahead."
Li Qinzai had no expression on his face and just picked up a horizontal knife on the ground.
With a clang, the horizontal sword was unsheathed and a cold light shot out.
Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi shut up at the same time, and fled out of the house obediently and quickly.
…………
A hungover person will do nothing the next day.
The best ways to relieve a hangover are to drink water, drink lots of water, and sleep.
Li Qinzai did not miss either.
As evening approached, the maid helped Li Qinzai get dressed. He had not forgotten that he was going to treat a guest tonight, and Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi were probably still eagerly waiting for him at the door of the most expensive brothel.
Dressed neatly, Li Qinzai walked out of the backyard and was calling Butler Wu to prepare the carriage when he suddenly heard a commotion in the front yard.
A moment later, Butler Wu rushed over almost rolling and crawling, roaring loudly.
"Fifth Young Master, the Goguryeo army has arrived!"
Li Qinzai felt nervous and said hurriedly: "Take it and take a look!"
A travel-worn messenger from the Tang Army entered the courtyard. After saluting Li Qinzai, he placed a letter on his hands. After Li Qinzai checked the paint, he opened the letter and browsed it quickly. His face became more and more happy.
After the Goguryeo ruler and royal family members were captured alive last month, Goguryeo was basically destroyed.
In the following month, Li Ji led the Tang army to sweep across Goguryeo, wiping out the remaining enemies and stragglers in various places, as well as the civilian resistance forces in various cities, villages and towns.
The regular army was wiped out, and the resistance among the people was certainly not enough. Li Ji ordered the Tang army to be divided into small groups, and patrolled various cities and villages in Goguryeo with force from all directions.
The small groups of troops were small in number, each group numbered about two to three thousand people, which was more than enough to wipe out the sluggish civilian resistance.
Of course, the Tang army's process of sweeping and clearing Goguryeo towns was very cruel. The military reports did not mention the details, but Li Qinzai had personally experienced the Goguryeo battlefield and knew it clearly.
Although Li Ji is old, he has never been a good person. In this expedition, both his ancestors and his grandson almost lost their lives in Goguryeo. Now that Goguryeo has been destroyed, how can Li Ji be polite to these subjugated people?
Regardless of whether there was any resistance to the Tang army, as long as the Tang army had any suspicion, it was just a word, "kill".
Not only must they be killed, but their relatives and neighbors must also be implicated. If they encounter real resistance, they must be brutally suppressed.
During this time, Goguryeo was covered in blood and corpses were everywhere.
The price of national subjugation has been like this since ancient times.
