The sound of horse hooves echoed in the empty wasteland for a long time, a cloud of yellow dust rose up in front, and a group of cavalry could be seen in the dim light galloping towards them.
The cavalry did not have uniform uniforms. They wore various leather robes of different colors, covering half of their shoulders and the other half in tattered cloth shirts. They also had various weapons in their hands, including scimitars and spears.
, and even farm tools such as rakes and rakes.
There are about a thousand people in this cavalry, and they look like a group of stragglers who have just lost a battle. However, the attack formation they put in when galloping, and the intangible sense of fierceness they exude, all show that this cavalry is not a good one, and
Very difficult to deal with.
There were only about 200 members of the Li family escorting Li Qinzai, but Liu Asi remained undaunted. He immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Gather up a formation and prepare to attack the enemy!"
At this time, Li Qinzai also turned his horse's head very cooperatively and retreated to the rear of the formation. At this time, there was no need to pretend to be a hero. If he did not have the strength to brave the three armies, he would just accept the reality of being protected.
Old Wei did not participate in the formation, and seemed to have already had a tacit understanding with Liu Asi. While the troops formed the formation, Old Wei stayed close to Li Qinzai, his dark old face still had a nonchalant smile, showing that familiar look
The rhubarb teeth are both obscene and ugly.
But Li Qinzai felt particularly at ease at this moment. Old Wei by his side was his second life.
When the thousand-man cavalry was still a hundred steps away from the troops, Liu Asi took up his bow and shot an arrow. With a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot into the path of the cavalry. The arrow was nearly halfway into the ground, and the feathers at its tail were still slightly fluttering.
trembling.
"Uncle Li County, the envoy of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has come forward. Those who come should stop and see you with great courtesy!" Liu Asi shouted sternly.
More than a thousand cavalrymen in the front row hurriedly reined in their horses, stopped charging, and stopped in front of the feathered arrow, quietly watching the warning arrow.
The crowd separated, and one person and one horse slowly walked out from behind.
Liu Asi narrowed his eyes and sneered: "It turns out it's Lun Zhongcong. My Li County Bo Xinci let you go and saved a life in Liangzhou City. Today I feel proud again."
Lun Zhongcong's face was gloomy and he didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Asi's cynicism. He looked at the rear of the Li family's formation and raised his voice: "Uncle Li County has come a long way. I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to welcome the Tang envoys into the Tubo camp.
."
After finishing his words, Lun Zhongcong waited for a long time without receiving a response. The Li family's Buqu still stared at him warily, and there was no movement from behind the formation.
Just as Lun Zhongcong was waiting impatiently, Li Qinzai finally coughed from behind, and the formation immediately moved out of the way.
Li Qinzai rode his horse slowly and came to Luan Zhongcong. Old Wei beside him was still not leaving, holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, staring at Lunzhongcong and the thousand-man cavalry behind him like a cheetah.
Li Qinzai had a half-smiling expression on his face, and kept looking at Luan Zhongcong. Lun Zhongcong was made uncomfortable by his teasing eyes, and a sense of shame and anger gradually welled up in his heart. He had been humiliated in Liangzhou City.
The scene comes to mind.
After a long time, Li Qinzai said with a smile: "That's right, that's right. I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Excellency has become nervous again. The sky has cleared up and the rain has stopped. Do you think you can do it again?"
On Lun Zhongcong held back his anger and said: "Foreign ministers don't know what your envoy is talking about."
Li Qinzai pointed at the thousand-man cavalry behind him and said: "The charge just now was intended to give me a dismounting power? It would be better if you could see with your own eyes that I was so frightened that I fell off my horse and ran away, then you would be satisfied?"
Lun Zhongcong said coldly: "The foreign minister did not mean this. Our Tibetan soldiers are elite and powerful, and they have always behaved like this."
Li Qinzai nodded: "This place is Tuyuhun. It is occupied by Tubo. It is on your territory, so you think you can tremble in front of me. But I, a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, am trembling in battle. It is best to kowtow and beg for mercy. This is called
It’s on your mind, right?”
Lun Zhongcong said with a gloomy expression: "Envoy of the Tang Dynasty, please do not speak provocatively. As you said, this place is occupied by Tibet. At this time and that time, I am alone on the mission. Please restrain yourself and do not bring shame on yourself."
Li Qinzai opened his eyes wide: "You still dare to threaten me?"
Lun Zhongcong said coldly: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I am not a threat. I am not a threat, but I am honest and sincere in my advice."
Li Qinzai smiled and suddenly waved his hand towards Old Wei, who immediately handed over the banner representing the envoy of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
With the banner in hand, Li Qinzai pointed at it and said, "Do you know what it is?"
Lun Zhongcong raised his eyes and said calmly: "It's Tang Dynasty Ambassador Jingjie."
Li Qinzai smiled at him, suddenly raised his other hand, and the riding whip in his hand whizzed towards Lun Zhongcong's cheek like lightning.
Caught off guard, there was a loud snap, and a bright red whip mark suddenly appeared on Lun Zhongcong's face, and then half of his face quickly swelled up.
Li Qinzai's actions were obviously not expected by anyone. After Lun Zhongcong was whipped, he felt the burning pain in his cheek. After realizing it, he covered his face and screamed.
Li Qinzai lowered his face, stared at Lun Zhongcong, and said slowly: "No matter whose territory I am, I, Li Qinzai, have never been afraid of anyone or anything. I could walk sideways in Chang'an City back then, and I dare to walk in Tubo today."
Walk sideways on the territory, try to touch me if you dare!"
When Lun Zhongcong covered his face and screamed, the thousand-man cavalry behind him also reacted. So in shock, the first general shouted a few words, and the thousand-man cavalry raised their weapons and looked ferocious.
Staring at the Li Family Trilogy opposite.
Not to be outdone, Liu Asi drew his sword and shouted: "Prepare for war!"
The tribesmen all bowed their backs on horseback, with the tips of the horizontal knives in their hands pointing directly at the Tibetan army on the opposite side.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder on both sides, and at the moment when the swords were at war, Li Qinzai suddenly slammed the banner in his hand to the ground and shouted: "The envoys of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty are here, whoever dares to offend, Lu Dongzan will kill all three of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Asi raised his bow and shot an arrow. Once again, an arrow hit the ground in front of the Tibetan army's formation, and he shouted: "Get back... retreat!"
The pom-poms on the banner fluttered in the wind, and the flags and banners representing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were fluttering behind them.
The team of only two hundred people exuded a strong domineering aura, and no one dared to take a step forward.
Li Qinzai stared coldly at Lun Zhongcong, who was still screaming, and said: "The angel of the Tang Dynasty has arrived. As a minister of the Prime Minister, you not only did not get off your horse and kneel to greet him, but you also dared to threaten the envoys of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty face to face. This whip will be given to you
A long lesson!”
"It's a barbarian country with no education and vulgar etiquette. Let me teach you what etiquette is!"
Lun Zhongcong finally regained his breath, with half of his face swollen, staring at Li Qinzai with sinister eyes and gritting his teeth. However, when he saw the angel banner in Li Qinzai's hand, Lun Zhongcong did not dare to move rashly.
This banner represents the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the etiquette and military prowess of the Tang Dynasty.
Before receiving a clear order from Lu Dongzan, Lun Zhongcong would never dare to attack Li Qinzai, so the whipping was in vain.
