Li Zhi asked Li Qinzai to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries. It can only be said that everyone has a different style of receiving guests.
When other officials received foreign envoys, some behaved very arrogantly, while others behaved too politely.
Li Qinzai is different. He likes to entertain guests from far away with his fists.
It's purely a personal style.
Li Qinzai came to visit today with a song, of course it was not for no reason.
When he heard from Song Sen yesterday that there was something strange happening in the Tibetan mission, Li Qinzai felt like beating him up.
Li Zhi had just been admonished for the Haidong strategy, and the grand and majestic maritime enterprise was about to start slowly. At this time, the Tibetan envoy dared to jump out to cause trouble and destroy his important event. Who would he beat if not him?
The official of the Seiyi Pavilion ran away in a hurry, but belatedly discovered that Li Qinzai and his group did come with bad intentions, and they were obviously looking for trouble.
The little Siyi Pavilion officials can't get involved in this matter, so it's better to hide first.
Li Qinzai led the tribe into the Siyi Pavilion and marched straight in.
Arriving at the door of the Tibetan mission's post office, Li Qinzai raised his chin, and Liu Asi flew up and kicked the door open.
There was a loud noise and a puff of smoke, and dozens of followers of the Tibetan mission ran out from the post, staring at Li Qinzai and others in shock and anger.
Li Qinzai walked in with great swagger, brushed his sleeves and said, "Ask Zashile to come out to see me."
Zashile came out quickly, stared at Li Qinzai with a livid face, and said angrily: "County County Duke Li came to visit today, why is he so rude? The Tang Dynasty is a country, where is the etiquette?"
Li Qinzai grinned: "Personal behavior has nothing to do with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that my personal quality is relatively poor. Please don't get me wrong."
Zashile was speechless for a moment.
There is really nothing wrong with this statement. I don’t know how to refute it.
"Since Mr. Li has barged in regardless of etiquette, let's get down to business. I wonder what Mr. Li is doing here today?" Zaxiler said with a gloomy face.
Li Qinzai hummed, looked around, and suddenly smiled: "There seems to be a lot of people in your mission. Maybe you temporarily transferred another group of people from elsewhere?"
Zaxile's eyelids twitched and he said coldly: "I don't understand what County Duke Li means."
Li Qinzai stared into his eyes and said: "The meaning is that after your Tibetan envoys came to our capital of the Tang Dynasty, they were not very peaceful. People in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. The Japanese and Silla envoys are both in Chang'an. You Tubo envoys are not very peaceful."
What are you going to do?”
Zashile said angrily: "Does Duke Li want to provoke a war between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet by humiliating the Tibetan envoys for no reason?"
Li Qinzai sneered: "You can fight if you want. How can the Tang Dynasty be afraid? When you and I fought in Tuyuhun, your Prime Minister Lu Dongzan almost became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty. How can you have the face to dare with such ability?
Shouting in front of me?"
Zahile was furious and immediately pulled out the scimitar from his waist.
As soon as the scimitar was unsheathed, Liu Asi and other tribesmen drew their swords and pointed them at Zashile.
"How dare you! You dare to use weapons in front of Datang County Lord? You don't even want to live anymore?" Liu Asi shouted violently.
The situation suddenly became confrontational. Both sides held their swords and refused to sheath them. They glared at each other with their swords at war. The smell of gunpowder was strong.
However, Li Qinzai calmly found a clean place in the yard to sit down and said, "Zashile, are you Tibetans in a hurry?"
Zashile said coldly: "I don't understand what you mean."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty is about to use troops against Goguryeo. Are you Tibetans anxious?"
"You are using troops against Goguryeo. Why are we Tubo anxious? Duke Li is too worried."
"Of course you have to be anxious. After the Tang Dynasty takes care of Goguryeo, guess who is the next enemy?"
Zashile narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean, the Tang Dynasty has regarded Tubo as its next enemy?"
Li Qinzai blinked: "I didn't say anything. I came here today to tell you that no matter what you want to do in Chang'an, you are destined to fail. Don't underestimate Datang. Your every move is under our watch."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps came outside.
A subordinate of Baiqisi came to Li Qinzai, whispered a few words in his ear, then turned around and left in a hurry.
However, Li Qinzai showed a look of astonishment and murmured: "Wearing the Imperial Guard Armor of the Tang Dynasty, pretending to be a member of the Tang Army, and beheading Jin Wenying in the street, that's what it is..."
As he spoke, Li Qinzai looked at Zashile with sharp eyes.
Under Li Qinzai's sharp eyes, Zahile panicked and couldn't help but look away with a guilty conscience.
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Zashile, I have to praise you, you are really good at calculating. You pretended to be a guard of the Tang Dynasty and killed the envoy of the Silla Kingdom. Do you think that the Tang Dynasty and the Silla Kingdom will really break up?"
Lowering his voice much lower, Li Qinzai chuckled and said: "Killing the envoys is a big deal. Maybe the two countries will break up, but I want to tell you, no matter whether the Silla Congress breaks up with the Tang Dynasty or not, it will have a great impact on the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition.
The war has no impact."
Seeing that Zahile's face was getting paler, Li Qinzai's face was relaxed.
After knowing that Zashile dared to let his warriors pretend to be guards of the Tang Dynasty, Li Qinzai felt really relieved.
Finally, I have a fair and just reason to beat someone up. It’s a heinous crime, so let’s beat him up first and then discuss it later.
"Ah Si, you've fallen out! Work!" Li Qinzai suddenly shouted.
Liu Asi and the others responded with a roar, and suddenly took action against the entourage and warriors of the Tibetan envoy.
…………
Outside the Wannian County Government Office.
A long knife happened to hold the fatal knife above Jin Wenying's head. The two knives met, sparks burst out, and then both sides decisively pulled away.
Tang Ji slowly retracted his sword, looked around at the dozen or so people dressed as Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, and calculated his winning rate with an expressionless face.
Behind him, the Silla envoy Jin Wenying was so frightened that his soul was scattered. It was obvious that he was going to die with a knife, but luckily a person suddenly appeared and saved him.
Although he didn't know why this person wanted to save him, at this moment, Jin Wenying undoubtedly found a life-saving straw. He didn't care about anything else but hugged him hard first.
"Jiligulu, Jiligulu." Jin Wenying stepped forward gratefully and said a series of words that were incomprehensible. The general idea was to thank her.
When Tang Ji saw him rambling on beside him, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and slapped Jin Wenying with his backhand, causing half of Jin Wenying's cheek to swell.
"Don't get in the way, get out!" Tang Ji shouted coldly.
Tang Ji didn't care at all whether the Silla envoy was dead or alive. All he remembered was Li Qinzai's order.
No matter what this group of Tubo people want to do, they cannot be allowed to succeed.
They wanted to kill the Silla envoy, so Tang Ji had to stop them and let the Silla envoy live.
Behind Jin Wenying, a group of officials and followers of the mission surrounded Jin Wenying, pointing at Tang Ji and the group of people dressed as Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty and cursing.
Until now, no one in the Silla mission understood the situation.
But Tang Ji stared at the Tubo warrior not far away, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand.
It was already daybreak, and there was so much commotion in front of the county government office. Wuhou and the imperial guards patrolling the streets were about to arrive, and the group of people dressed as imperial guards were also anxious.
After the leader said hello, everyone retreated one after another and decisively left the Wannian County Government Office. The crowd dispersed and mixed into the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
