The two groups of people were supposed to ambush him, but instead they ended up attacking each other. Although Li Qinzai could not figure out what happened, it did not affect the destruction of them.
Groups of Tang army soldiers holding three-eyed guns gathered and hurried toward the dark road.
Li Qinzai walked in the middle of the team, still thinking about the pros and cons in his mind.
Such an incident happened tonight, and the two missions must teach a lesson, but to what extent they should teach it, they need to be careful.
If a war was provoked as a result, Datang would not be fully prepared and would fall into a passive position strategically.
But if he let it go lightly, it would be a disgrace to the country, and Li Qinzai was even more unwilling to do so.
Before he could think about the outcome, Li Qinzai and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army rushed to the street where the ambush was set.
The ground was covered with corpses. The fierce fighting had already attracted the attention of the soldiers patrolling the city. The soldiers patrolling the city belonged to the border army and were under the command of Zheng Rentai. They usually garrisoned the city and maintained public order in the city.
However, the envoys of the two countries were fighting each other in the city, which made the officers patrolling the city hesitant. It was difficult to interfere in the affairs of the envoys, so they could only stay on guard from a distance and watch them attack each other with knives.
Perhaps he was afraid that if he intervened, he would lose his reputation and be blackmailed by the two countries' missions.
When Li Qinzai and his party came forward in a mighty manner, one of the generals patrolling the city was visibly relieved, and looked at Li Qinzai with a watery look in his eyes, which was particularly cordial.
Finally someone came to take charge of the matter.
The onlookers quickly made way for Li Qinzai and others. Li Qinzai walked over with his hands clasped, and the patrolling generals cupped their fists and saluted.
"Uncle Li County, the two missions are fighting for unknown reasons, and many people have been injured or killed. It is related to the missions, and I don't dare to take charge of it. I ask Uncle Li County to make a decision."
Li Qinzai hummed and looked forward with squinted eyes.
The warriors from the two missions have stopped fighting. Each side suffered half casualties. Corpses were lying all over the ground. The survivors were leaning against the wall with their backs bruised and exhausted, but they were still glaring at each other fiercely.
Li Qinzai's eyes gradually turned cold and he said: "The envoys of Tubo and Tuyuhun entered our city of the Tang Dynasty. If they did not obey the laws of the Tang Dynasty and dared to fight in the street, they should be punished!"
The general who patrolled the city looked at him in shock and said nonchalantly: "Well, Uncle Li, shouldn't we capture them and then discuss things with the envoys of the two countries?"
Li Qinzai snorted coldly: "I'm trying to reason with them? Look at my face, how unreasonable I am. Do I have to reason with them? Do you know why they appear on this street?"
"I don't know what will happen next."
Li Qinzai raised his thumb, pointed to his chest, and said: "They originally planned to assassinate me. I was lucky and they escaped. Otherwise, why would I have brought so many people back?"
The general who patrolled the city was shocked. He and his soldiers arrived after the incident and had no idea what happened in front of them.
"How dare they assassinate the envoys of the Tang Dynasty in my city of the Tang Dynasty? Are they crazy, bastards!" the general said angrily through gritted teeth.
Li Qinzai took two steps back and said: "The patrol officers don't have to deal with this matter, so as not to make it difficult for General Zheng. Sun Congdong, go ahead and leave no one behind!"
Sun Congdong waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army came forward with three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands. They blocked the street tightly, with one row squatting down and the other standing.
The living warriors of the mission in the middle of the street were shocked when they saw the Tang army suddenly coming forward and taking out the strange and terrifying weapons.
The warriors on both sides quickly threw away their knives, raised their hands and muttered something, probably to express that they were harmless and willing to be captured without mercy.
Li Qinzai didn't care so much. If he dared to set up an ambush to assassinate himself, he would have to pay the price. We are no longer children, and not every apology can be exchanged for nothing.
He turned around indifferently and turned his back to the warriors of the mission. Sun Congdong on the side understood, waved his hand fiercely and shouted: "Three rounds of volley!"
Boom boom boom!
A puff of white smoke rose up. After the smoke dissipated, all the missionary warriors in the middle of the street fell to the ground, with no survivors in sight.
"Send someone to go forward and hit them, and send them away if they are still alive." Li Qinzai said indifferently.
The Forbidden Army soldiers drew their swords and stepped forward. Sure enough, among the corpses on the ground, some people were still breathing, or pretending to be dead in an attempt to escape, but the Forbidden Army soldiers killed them one by one.
Li Qinzai expressed that he was very satisfied, patted the shoulder of the general who patrolled the city, and said: "Go wash the floor, clean it up, and restore it to its original state before dawn. Don't scare the people."
The general looked in awe, clasped his fists and obeyed the order solemnly.
Li Qinzai looked at Sun Congdong: "Let's go to Guanyi to see the two envoys. They have become bare commanders overnight. I have to see how big their psychological shadow is and try to calculate it using a formula."
…………
In the Liangzhou Chengguan Posthouse, the two envoys each stayed in their own bedrooms in the backyard.
Tonight, the envoy warriors from both sides came out in full force. They didn't know each other beforehand. It wasn't until nightfall that they discovered something was wrong with the other party.
Although the relationship between the two parties was hostile, such an important matter still had to be explained clearly, so after testing each other out, Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong were shocked to find that their creativity had crashed.
Everyone is eager to kill Li Qinzai, even the choice of time and place is the same. With such a clear understanding, could the other person be their true love?
After the warriors from both sides met unexpectedly on the wall, the messenger quickly ran into the post. At this time, Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong had fully understood what happened tonight. After some discussion, they decided
Put aside the hatred for the time being and join forces to get rid of Li Qinzai first.
Unfortunately, there was a time lag in transmitting the order.
When the messenger rushed back to the dark street with the orders of the two envoys, the warriors on both sides could no longer restrain their violent tempers and started killing each other. The messenger was shocked, but the two sides were fighting fiercely, and they did not dare to intervene.
So I had to run back to Guanyi again to report.
In one round, time was wasted, and most of the people were killed or injured.
Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong sat helplessly in the courtyard of Guanyi. Their faces were pale, knowing that they had no way to save themselves.
The assassination of the Tang envoy was a big deal, especially the identity of Princess Honghua. If this matter was leaked, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would be furious. Tubo might not be afraid, but Tuyuhun would definitely not be able to bear it.
In the backyard of Guanyi, Lun Zhongcong looked at Princess Honghua with dull eyes, and suddenly sighed: "Your Highness, why do you suddenly think of assassinating Li Qinzai? Tuyuhun is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty. What do you think?
of?"
Princess Honghua sighed sadly: "Kill Li Qinzai and put the blame on Tubo. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was furious and must raise the king's army to attack. The defeat of Tuyuhun was irreversible. In ancient times, Ban Chao killed the Xiongnu envoy in the middle of the night and forced the leader of Shanshan to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
, I will follow suit."
Then Princess Honghua looked at Lun Zhongcong and said, "Where is you? Why did you want to assassinate Li Qinzai?"
Lun Zhongcong's cheek twitched: "Isn't this a coincidence? I am also following Ban Chao's example..."
Then Lun Zhongcong sighed: "...the books of the sages in the Central Plains are killing people!"
