Li Qinzai led hundreds of people from the imperial army to the post office.
Liangzhou City is not big. The governor's office, market, restaurants and post offices in the city are basically located in the relatively prosperous east city, while the west city is occupied by residential buildings and Zhechong government offices.
On the way to Guanyi, Li Qinzai's mind was still racing.
The killing of the envoy warriors just now was both revenge and punishment, but now going to the station to meet the envoys of the two countries requires some thought.
Don't say anything about your hatred in advance. You have to reap the benefits, otherwise I'll be sorry for the fright you received tonight.
The Forbidden Army soldiers led the way with torches, and Li Qinzai was surrounded by the crowd. When he was approaching the post, Li Qinzai suddenly stopped.
Liu Asi stepped forward and asked, "Fifth Young Master, what's wrong?"
Li Qinzai's eyes flashed and he said softly: "Go and get me a soft sedan chair, and also get some dog blood."
"Young Master Wu, are you going to..."
"Don't ask, go quickly!"
Soon, the soft sedan and the dog's blood were ready. Li Qinzai cut a slit in the abdomen of the clothes with a knife, sprinkled the dog's blood on the opening, then found a strip of cloth, bandaged the abdomen, and continued to sprinkle the dog's blood.
After thinking about it, I felt it was still not realistic enough, so I also made a slit on the sleeve and used dog blood to do the same thing. Then I messed up my hair and painted my face pale with women's powder.
After observing carefully for a moment, Li Qinzai nodded with satisfaction, and then he fell down on the soft sedan with exhaustion. He struggled to open his eyelids while dying, and looked at Liu Asi with a pale face.
"How's it going? Do you have a strong urge to celebrate Qingming Festival for me?" Li Qinzai asked.
Liu Asi said with an ugly face: "Fifth Young Master, it's very lifelike. He only has one breath left...but what on earth do you want to do? Cursing yourself like this is too taboo and unlucky."
"I will teach you a lesson. Whether you are an official or an envoy, pretending to be dead is a required course. If you learn this course well, the benefits will be more than you can imagine."
Liu Asi didn't understand, he only knew how to draw a knife and kill people.
Li Qinzai looked around and saw some rough guys around him. He couldn't help but sigh in disappointment: "I knew I should have brought King Luo Bin to Liangzhou and sang the double act with him. I don't believe that those two guys will not accept me."
After thinking about it, Li Qinzai called Sun Congdong over. He had no choice but to choose the general among the short ones, who happened to be the general.
He whispered a few words into Sun Congdong's ear, and Sun Congdong declined with a look of embarrassment. Li Qinzai glared and kicked him again, and Sun Congdong reluctantly agreed with a grimace.
After admonishing, Li Qinzai suddenly rolled his eyes and let out a long and painful groan.
Sun Congdong waved his hand, and the Forbidden Army soldiers carried the soft sedan towards the post.
Arriving in front of the gate of Guanyi, Sun Congdong shouted: "Surround the front and back of Guanyi! Don't let anyone go!"
The soldiers carrying torches took action separately, and after a while, Guanyi was surrounded.
Sun Congdong ordered someone to carry the dying Li Qinzai through the door, walked to the middle of the yard and put Li Qinzai down.
Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong came out in a panic. They saw Li Qinzai lying on a soft sedan in the middle of the yard, his eyes closed, his face pale, and even his chest seemed to not rise and fall. Their hearts sank, and they became more and more panicked. They looked at each other.
Looking at each other, they found that each other's eyes were full of fear.
What's going on? Aren't two groups of people killing each other? Why was Li Qinzai injured? Looking at his injuries, it seemed that he was seriously injured and was about to die.
When the two of them were wondering, Sun Congdong took a step forward with his sword and said with a sad and angry expression: "You dare to set up an ambush to assassinate the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, how brave you are! Come here, kill them!"
The Forbidden Army soldiers behind him responded with a roar, drew their swords and stepped forward, staring at the two men fiercely.
Princess Honghua said in a trembling voice: "Wait a minute! I am the Princess of Tang Dynasty, the emperor's biological sister. Who among you dares to touch me?"
Sun Congdong said sadly and angrily: "County Uncle Li was stabbed and he is dead. I failed to protect County Uncle Li and deserved death. Returning to Chang'an is also a death sentence. Why not kill these people and give Uncle Li a backstop!"
Lun Zhongcong was surprised and said: "This general calmed down and the Tang envoy was assassinated. What does that have to do with us? Do you want to provoke a war between the Three Kingdoms?"
Sun Congdong said angrily: "How dare you deny it at this time! It's not good for you to bully me!"
When the three of them were arguing, Li Qinzai, who was on the soft sedan, struggled to open his eyes and coughed twice weakly.
The three of them were immediately attracted by his movements. Princess Honghua and Luan Zhongcong immediately rushed to him and looked at him with concern.
Swearing in the name of their ancestors, at this moment, Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong desire more than anyone else that Li Qinzai be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster, and blessed with long life...
"Uncle Li County, I will call a doctor for you right now..." Princess Honghua said in a trembling voice.
Among the people present, she was the most frightened person.
Tubo was not worried about the failure to assassinate the Tang envoy. The worst outcome would be war with the Tang Dynasty. Now that the situation in Tuyuhun was ahead, war was inevitable no matter whether the assassination was successful or not.
But Tuyuhun couldn't do that. If it lost the protection of the Tang Dynasty, there would be no suspense about it being swallowed up by Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.
Princess Honghua regretted it. She found that she had made a risky move and failed.
The idea is good, and the ambush tonight is very precise regardless of time and place, but who would have thought that something unexpected would happen. The original sure-kill situation was instantly reversed, pushing Tuyuhun into the abyss.
Princess Honghua knew that if tonight's matter was not handled properly, she and Nuohebo Khan would never be able to recover their lost lands and regain their throne in their lifetimes. They might even be accused by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and become the enemies of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
The enemies of the two powerful countries could only wander around the world and live in exile from now on.
Li Qinzai looked like he was on the verge of death. After opening his eyes, he groaned weakly and stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if to tell the story, pointing at Princess Honghua.
Princess Honghua's heart trembled and she hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, this matter is a misunderstanding... What do you want to say?"
Li Qinzai pointed at Princess Honghua and Lun Zhongcong, and turned to look at Sun Congdong with difficulty.
Sun Congdong clasped his fists sadly and said with red eyes: "Whatever orders Uncle Li has given, I will definitely obey them."
After a long time, Li Qinzai pointed at the two envoys and said in a hoarse voice: "Put them...in pottery figurines and bury them with me...Remember to bury them in a livestock pit for the convenience of archaeologists..."
Clang!
Without saying anything, Sun Congdong pulled out the horizontal sword and stared at the two of them fiercely. The next moment, the cold horizontal sword was placed on Lun Zhongcong's neck.
On the subject, Zhong Cong was shocked: "Your Majesty, why would you do this!"
Li Qinzai's face and lips were frighteningly white, and he said weakly: "If you kill me, I will kill you too...it's very fair."
"Your Majesty, think twice. You have already massacred my Tibetan envoys. If you kill me again, aren't you afraid that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will blame you?"
Li Qinzai seemed to have no strength to even open his eyes, so he closed his eyes and said: "After I die, the floods will be raging... As for Zhong Cong, if you dare to set up an ambush to assassinate me, you should suffer the consequences."
The horizontal knife on his neck was emitting a faint cold light, Sun Congdong's eyes were crazy and cruel, and Lun Zhongcong couldn't stop trembling all over. He found that today was the closest he was to death.
As long as Sun Congdong exerts a little force on the knife in his hand, Zhongcong's parents will have raised him for decades in vain.
Li Qinzai still closed his eyes, slowly raised his hand, pointed at Princess Honghua accurately, and said weakly: "Your Royal Highness, you are the second one, Tuyuhun is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty... The vassal country dares to assassinate the envoys of the suzerain country, you might as well try
Can the title of Princess of the Tang Dynasty still protect you?"
Princess Honghua's heart trembled and she screamed involuntarily: "I didn't! It wasn't me who did it, it was the Tubo people who did it!"
Lun Zhongcong was furious: "Your Highness, you are so despicable!"
Li Qinzai suddenly started to tremble and he struggled to stand up and coughed loudly. Sun Congdong supported him sadly and kept rubbing his back.
Princess Honghua and Luan Zhongcong looked at him with pale faces. Every cough made by Li Qinzai made them tremble.
After coughing for a long time, Li Qinzai lay down weakly. Looking at his abdomen wrapped with cloth, Li Qinzai said sadly: "Ah, the wound is bleeding again..."
Sun Congdong said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Li, you must hold on!"
Li Qinzai gasped and said: "Call the officials from the governor's office to write down the details of today's assassination and send them to Chang'an by horseback eight hundred miles away."
"... Also tell my grandfather, the British Duke, that my grandson can no longer fulfill his filial piety in front of his knees! I ask my grandfather to join hands with all the veteran generals of the Tang Dynasty to discuss the rebellion of Tubo and Tuyuhun, and ask the king to avenge me!"
