"Okay! Fifth brother is very skilled! These Tubo warriors are not good either..."
Xiao Rui is still cheering? Isn't it too abominable?
Lu Dongzan watched helplessly as his warriors were cut down one by one. Although he had more people, the situation on the battlefield became less and less advantageous.
He turned around and whispered to the people around him. Lu Dongzan is a young man in his twenties, and the other person is a dark-faced middle-aged man. From a distance, he thought he was Lu Dongzan's elder. But now he realizes that the person next to him is a follower.
After listening to Lu Dongzan's instructions, the swarthy middle-aged man nodded and walked out. His temperament changed from ordinary just now to murderous in the blink of an eye, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Xiao Rui had a sudden thought and exclaimed: "Fifth brother, be careful, there is a master sneak attack!"
Li Junxian killed Zheng Huan, how could he react? In desperation, Xiao Rui casually tore off a pendant from his waist and threw it towards the man. On the surface, it looks like a random throw by a person who doesn't know how to use martial arts.
That man thought he could kill with one strike, but he didn't expect that the weak scholar-looking person opposite him could actually have such a skill? If he continues to attack, he will be hit in the head and exposed. Is this just luck? If you are not an expert, who can calculate so accurately? But that guy didn't look like a master at all.
Helpless, this person could only give up this move and casually caught the 'hidden weapon'.
Li Junxian also got rid of the entanglement of several people around him, immediately withdrew from the battle circle, stood in front of Xiao Rui, and stared at the man warily.
"Sir, this person is very dangerous."
The second half of the sentence was not mentioned, but it meant that the opponent looked like a martial arts master, or even an assassination master, and he might not be able to defeat a battlefield general like himself.
Although Xiao Rui lost all his martial arts skills, his eyesight was still there and he nodded without saying a word.
The opponent intercepted Li Junxian and was about to continue the attack when Lu Dongzan stopped him and motioned for him to bring what he had in his hand over for a look.
Lu Dongzan took it and saw that it was a gold medal with the words "I am here in person" written on it.
"Are you from the royal family?"
Xiao Rui joked: "Okay, I still have some eyesight and can recognize the gold medal."
"Did the emperor ask you to come?" Lu Dongzan guessed.
"You underestimate our Majesty's ambition. If he wants to embarrass you, you will never reach Chang'an City." Xiao Rui mocked.
Lu Dongzan nodded: "I understand, so you are Princess Changle's brother, and you are here for this matter... Wait, I haven't heard that Princess Changle has brothers of this age. The eldest is the elder brother. Prince Tang is only fourteen or fifteen years old."
"In addition to the prince, there are also young people of this brand in the Tang Dynasty...unless...you are Xiao Rui? Champion Hou Xiaorui?"
Yo... so smart? Guessed my identity based on a sign?
Xiao Rui also expressed some surprise and couldn't help but glance at this person. It seemed that he was very smart.
"Yes, I am Xiao Rui."
Li Junxian reminded: "Master Hou, something is wrong. He is a Tibetan. Why is he so familiar with the affairs of our Tang Dynasty? There must be an insider."
Xiao Rui smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's normal. Which of the surrounding countries didn't place hidden stakes in Chang'an? Go back and ask Lao Zhao. He was the head of Turkic intelligence back then. Except for our Xiaojiazhuang, which he couldn't enter, he was also the one in the palace. He has some control over the situation."
Li Junxian whispered: "Then he is really lucky to be alive now."
"Isn't that right? Didn't you see that he was hiding in our place all day long and didn't dare to go out?" Xiao Rui and the two started chatting with each other.
Lu Dongzan was stunned. When he heard that the other party was Xiao Rui, he was quite nervous. He thought that this man was someone he could not afford to offend in the Tang Dynasty. He was most afraid of bumping into him during this mission, but when he was really face to face, why did he feel that he was so different from him? He is like a dandy, without any legendary appearance at all.
"Ahem, Your Majesty the Champion, the two countries are at war without killing each other. We, Tibetans, are here to propose marriage sincerely. Do you have any misunderstandings? Please contact His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Isn't it good to come directly to your door like this? Yes? It will damage your reputation." Lu Dongzan was still very afraid of Xiao Rui.
The chat was interrupted, Xiao Rui turned around and snorted coldly: "The Tubo people don't need to worry about my reputation. I would like to advise you, just take your people back and pretend that there is no marriage proposal. , then I can pretend that nothing has happened. Otherwise, if you dare to continue to stay in Chang'an to entangle, I guarantee that you, Tibet, will become the next Turk, and your king, Songtsen Gampo, will be the next Jieli! "
Lu Dongzan didn't expect that when they first met, the other party would be so hostile? And from the way he sounded, it seemed that it wasn't because of today, but that he didn't have a good impression of Tubo in the first place? why is that?
We can understand your hatred of the Turks, because the Turks have oppressed the Tang Dynasty before, but we Tubo are different. We Tubo have never offended the Tang Dynasty.
"Master Marquis, have we Tubo offended you before?" Lu Dongzan asked tentatively.
Xiao Rui smiled, "It saves trouble to talk to smart people. A few years ago, I suffered an assassination, and the Prime Minister must have found out about it. But the specific situation, haha, not many people know."
Lu Dongzan asked: "Did Jie Li spend a lot of money to pay for the assassination?"
Xiao Rui nodded and said: "That's right! One of the assassins who besieged and killed me is a Tibetan."
What? ? ?
Lu Dongzan exclaimed: "Master Hou, I misunderstood, this is impossible, we simply don't..."
Xiao Rui waved his hand and interrupted him: "No need to explain, the Tubo country is not big, and the top experts who can participate in the siege of me are even rarer. If you say you don't know anything, I won't believe it. It doesn't matter whether you instigated it or not. , the important thing is that that person is a Tibetan."
"He admitted it himself, saying that he sneaked into Shu, studied with the masters in Shu, and finally returned to Tubo after completing his studies. Haha..."
Xiao Rui's smile made Lu Dongzan feel extremely chilly. No, it should be said that it was filled with disgusting hostility.
Lu Dongzan explained: "Master Marquis, this matter was definitely not done by us. A few years ago, Zampu and I were busy unifying Tibet and had no time to pay attention to the outside world. Moreover, we have no grievances against you, Master Marquis. Tubo has always been on good terms with the Tang Dynasty, how could it be possible to participate in the assassination?"
"Perhaps he is a master of folk green forest. He was jealous of some gold and silver and participated in it secretly. You must..."
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "Okay, I said it, it's not important anymore."
"Originally, my rule is that you must retaliate, and you don't have a good look when you see the Tubo people. But today I see that Xiangguo is a man, so I'll give you some face, take your people back, and don't mention the marriage proposal again, my lord Act like nothing happened.”
"As for the diplomatic relations between the two countries? I am not involved. Whether the two countries are on good terms or on bad terms, you can discuss it yourself with your Majesty."
"Okay, give me back the gold medal and let's go."
ah? ? ?
What, what just left? We haven’t agreed yet. Isn’t this too strong?
Lu Dongzan interrupted quickly and said with some embarrassment: "Master Hou, this, this can't be done. The subordinates are also acting under orders. We Zanpu have really admired Princess Changle of your country for a long time, and gave the death order before leaving... "
Xiao Rui's face darkened, "So, you didn't listen at all to what I said? Didn't you give me any face?"
