Many seemingly unrelated things only need a logic to connect them, and everything will make sense.
The Tubo people were not soft persimmons. They could not be manipulated by the Tang Dynasty, nor could they sit back and wait for the Tang Dynasty to finish dealing with Goguryeo and then turn around and deal with them.
Therefore, the Tubo people must do something before the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition to cause some trouble for the Tang Dynasty.
After some analysis by Li Qinzai, Song Sen also figured it out and said in surprise: "The Tubo envoys frequently come in and out of the residence of the warriors. Do they want to assassinate someone?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time and said: "Let's guess who the Tubo people killed in Chang'an City. Who would be most beneficial to them? Or, in other words, could it achieve the purpose of delaying or destroying the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition?"
Song Sen thought for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I really can't think of it. Could it be that they dare to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Your stupid appearance is just like that of my disciples, very clear and cute." Li Qinzai complimented him, and then said: "It is of course impossible to assassinate the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, even if they are both brave, you would not dare."
Before the other party made any move, Li Qinzai could not guess what the Tibetan envoy wanted to do, so he could only sigh: "Baiqisi will continue to monitor closely, deploy more manpower, pay close attention to the movements of everyone entering and leaving the residence, and tell me as soon as there is any news.
.”
Song Sen clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will order you to go down now."
After watching Song Sen leave, Li Qinzai stood alone at the door for a long time without entering.
After pondering, Li Qinzai said to Liu Asi, who was escorting him behind him: "Summon Tang Ji to see me."
Tang Ji came very quickly, with a strange figure, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Qinzai without anyone noticing.
Li Qinzai was sitting in the backyard, holding a bowl of golden milk in his hand. When Tang Ji suddenly appeared, Li Qinzai was holding a mouthful of milk in his mouth, but he was very calm. The milk in his mouth did not spurt out, but in his hand
The bowl flew so high that it finally landed with a bang and broke into pieces.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before Tang Ji said innocently: "Did I scare you, little man?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "Don't you see that I am as still as a mountain at this moment? How could a big shot like me be frightened? You underestimate me too much."
Tang Ji's face was expressionless, but a hint of smile flashed in his eyes.
Li Qinzai stood up, pointed ahead, and said, "There are many people here, let's go to a quiet place to talk."
Tang Ji walked in front, and Li Qinzai followed behind.
As soon as he took a step forward, Li Qinzai took a running start and then kicked Tang Ji hard on the buttocks.
Tang Ji also didn't expect that Li Qinzai would sneak attack him. This flying kick was so impartial that Tang Ji almost lost his temper.
Tang Ji turned to look at Li Qinzai in shock. Tang Ji's eyes were full of confusion.
Li Qinzai said calmly: "I'm sorry, I lied just now, and you really scared me... Let me tell you a little bit about science. Big people always stay calm when encountering chaos, but the nature of big people is actually very stingy, and they are a little scared.
Everyone must take revenge."
Tang Ji nodded: "Young man, I understand. The kick I received just now was not unfair."
"Say hello in advance next time you show up. It won't do you any good to scare me to death. You will be cast into a pottery figurine and buried with me."
The two walked to the corridor on the east side of the backyard. Li Qinzai crossed his legs and shook his head, then said: "I have something for you to do. It's not too troublesome, but you may have to take action."
Tang Ji's expression returned to coldness: "Whoever you want to kill, just say it, the villain will do it without leakage."
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "The problem is, now I don't know who to kill or who to save. The matter is not clear yet. I called you here just to prepare for a rainy day."
"The villain doesn't quite understand."
"You lurk in the Seiyi Pavilion and keep an eye on the Tibetan envoy Zashile and the people who come in and out of his residence to see what they are going to do. No matter what they want to do, your mission is to make it impossible for them to do it."
Tang Ji seemed to understand, but asked: "Do you want to kill someone?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "No, it's better to let them live than to die."
"I understand, as long as we stop the Tibetan people's actions."
Tang Ji nodded coolly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Li Qinzai stopped him, scratched his head, and said with some confusion: "You have been with me for a long time. I haven't paid you a salary yet?"
Tang Ji shook his head: "Salary is not important to me."
Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, he liked this kind of gentleman who did good deeds without asking for reward.
A gentleman can be deceived.
Decisively changing his words, Li Qinzai said seriously: "Since you don't need a salary, I won't force you. You are a good person."
Tang Ji's face was expressionless, but Li Qinzai seemed to see contempt in his eyes.
"After this is done, if you have any hobbies, I can treat you." Li Qinzai smiled and drew a cake for him: "Whether you like prostitution, eating or drinking, I will treat you."
Tang Ji paused for a moment and suddenly said: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty is going to march eastward?"
Li Qinzai nodded.
Tang Ji said: "I want to go on an expedition with you, can you?"
"Do you want to gain military merit, or simply serve the country?"
Tang Ji thought for a while and said: "No, I probably just want to vent my anger on the battlefield."
Li Qinzai seriously suggested: "You can consider becoming a monk. The Bodhisattva can help you eliminate all your anger and make you peaceful and peaceful. In addition, you can go to the wishing pool in the middle of the night and steal the coins from the mouth of the bastard. From now on, you can become a peaceful person."
The peaceful rich monk..."
Tang Ji was too lazy to reply and immediately turned around and left.
Li Qinzai looked at his back and shook his head.
Those who bear a blood feud have been completely kidnapped by hatred throughout their lives and will never be able to be themselves again unless the great revenge is avenged.
Li Qinzai didn't know much about Tang Ji, but he knew Tang Ji's pain.
As Li Qinzai's tool, Tang Ji may also be dormant, waiting for opportunities.
…………
Midnight, midnight.
There is still a little noise in Chang'an City.
The city's curfew policy is no longer as strict as it was during the Zhenguan period. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, many curfew rules were actually semi-abolished.
Among the 108 squares in the capital, there are still many squares where singing, dancing, drums, and harps are still going on in the middle of the night, and the orioles are singing and dancing in the brothels and palaces.
Tonight, everything around the Siyi Pavilion in Changshoufang is quiet.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was finally movement on the wall east of the Siyi Pavilion.
A dozen warriors jumped out from the wall and landed quietly. After carefully checking their surroundings, a dozen warriors crouched and quickly walked towards the west of Chang'an City.
Not long after the warriors left, several people dressed as ordinary people came out from the corner of the wall. After looking at each other, they followed the dozen warriors in front and quickly climbed up.
After the two groups of people left, Tang Ji appeared opposite the Seiyi Pavilion like a ghost. He stood in the dark shadow of the trees, like an ownerless soul, staring in the direction in which the two groups of people left with cold eyes.
In that direction, it seems to be Wannian County Government Office.
