There are so many temptations in the world of mortals, and Li Qinzai is not a monk, so he will inevitably be tempted.

Returning to the Governor's Mansion, I lay down at night, and the woman's purple eyes still appeared in my mind, as moving as rare gems and full of mystery.

Her figure made him unforgettable for a long time. The clothes of Western Dancers were different from those of women in the Tang Dynasty. During the day, the clothes she wore were very coquettish and tight, which perfectly showed off her figure.

Li Qinzai thought about her figure and her purple eyes. He, who had always slept soundly, actually had insomnia that night. He finally fell asleep in a daze. He woke up suddenly after not sleeping for an hour, and then... sneakily Open the door and wash your pants.

A married man actually has such a day, and he must not let others see such a shameful side of himself.

After washing his trousers, Li Qinzai stood in the yard and sighed to the moon with a sad expression.

So what if you have a high official position? So what if he is handsome and handsome? In the dead of night, I still secretly wash my pants.

It is said that when a man is in sage mode, his thoughts are close to those of gods. Li Qinzai felt that he was no different from gods at this moment. In short, he was very profound.

It is said that gods cut off the seven emotions and six desires, so they probably wouldn’t wash their pants in the middle of the night. This is the only place where Li Qinzai is inferior to gods.

How about... just buy the purple-eyed woman?

I only watched her dance and did nothing else.

…………

Early the next morning, Li Qinzai, who had been sleepless for most of the night, was about to catch up on some sleep, when he saw Liu Asi coming in a hurry.

"Fifth Young Master, the generals on duty at the city gate have come to report. Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan has sent an envoy to meet Fifth Young Master. The envoy has arrived twenty miles outside Liangzhou City."

Li Qinzai frowned: "Tubo? Are you sure it's the Tibetan envoy?"

"I'm sure, they have sent someone to inform us in advance. The Tubo envoy said that they would like to ask the Tang envoy to welcome us outside the city gate."

Li Qinzai was stunned: "Should I go to the city gate to personally greet the Tibetan envoys?"

Liu Asi had a look of indignation on his face and said, "That's what the people sent by the Tubo envoy said."

Li Qinzai was furious: "My dignified envoy from the Tang Dynasty went out of the city to meet the Tibetan envoy. Damn it, did you give him face?"

He was so angry that he almost fell asleep. Li Qinzai was pacing back and forth in the yard, suddenly stopped, and sneered: "Outside Lanzhou City, the Tubo assassin sent me to assassinate me. I haven't even settled the score with him yet, but he took the initiative to send him to my door. "

"How does Fifth Young Master plan to respond?"

"Ah Si, ask Sun Congdong to gather the soldiers and leave the city immediately. When they encounter the Tibetan envoys, immediately intercept and kill them. Except for one who is left to report the message, all others will be killed!"

Liu Asi was shocked: "Fifth Young Master, is it too..." to kill the Tibetan envoy?

Li Qinzai sneered: "They can kill the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but I can't kill the envoys of Tibet? It's easy to treat me as an envoy as a soft persimmon, right?"

"Let him go back alive and tell Lu Dongzan to ask him to send another mission. Then I would like to have a good chat with Tibet. Today's mission should be regarded as a ceremony to worship the heaven before the friendly negotiations between the two countries. .”

"Yes!" Liu Asi clasped his fists solemnly.

…………

Outside Liangzhou City, the Tubo envoy led a team of hundreds of people and trudged forward in the wind and sand.

The weather was a bit bad today. As the Tubo envoy walked with the team, he spat out the sand in his mouth and cursed God bitterly.

We are almost arriving at Liangzhou City, and we don’t know if the Tang envoy will actually go out of the city to greet him.

It stands to reason that the Tang State was more powerful than Tubo, so there was no reason to go out of the city to greet him, but what if? It is said that the people of the Central Plains have always paid attention to the so-called "etiquette". If the Tang envoy was a timid and polite official, it would not be impossible to go out of the city to greet him.

If the Tang envoy really went out of the city to greet him, Tubo's momentum would rise, and the initiative in this negotiation would be in the hands of Tubo.

Negotiations between the two countries, ranging from the signing of topical treaties to the smallest details of food, clothing, housing and transportation, are all crucial. Every subtle move by the envoys of the two countries represents profound political meaning.

That's why the Tubo envoys asked the Tang envoys to go out of the city to welcome them personally.

It is both a test and a show of authority, and it is also a way to gain the initiative in negotiations.

Before the two envoys met, the abacus was already ringing.

Still about twenty miles away from Liangzhou City, the Tibetan envoy slowed down a bit. He was waiting for a reply to know exactly whether the Tang envoy would go out of the city to greet him personally.

If the Tang envoy did not agree to go out of the city to meet him, then he would have a different attitude when negotiating with him.

After walking a few miles further, the Tubo envoy suddenly stopped, frowned and murmured: "It stands to reason that the people sent to Liangzhou City should have returned. Why haven't they seen any movement for a long time?"

A gust of cold wind blew, and goose bumps appeared on the envoy's neck. The climate outside the Great Wall was very harsh, and the temperature had begun to drop sharply before it got dark.

Looking ahead, the outline of the city wall of Liangzhou City is already in sight, but the surroundings of the Tibetan mission are completely silent. The cold wind blows a few sparse poplar trees not far away, making a shrill whistling sound like a ghost crying.

Inexplicably, the envoy's heart sank, and his expression turned to panic.

The surroundings were too quiet and abnormal. An indescribable sense of suffocation weighed heavily on his heart. He had an intuition of approaching danger.

Looking around in panic, I found that the faces of the envoys' entourage were also a little unnatural. Everyone couldn't help but look around, and the horses under everyone's crotches were also pawing the ground uneasily, snoring, and shaking their heads uncomfortably. controlled.

The Tubo envoy once again looked at the Liangzhou city wall in the distance. The long row of black outlines looked like a ghost city housing innocent souls, and it looked particularly scary.

The envoy's face was pale, he struggled for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Turn around! I won't go to Liangzhou City today! Let's go, go quickly!"

Everyone immediately turned their horses' heads and walked back the same way without hesitation.

After just a few steps, everyone in the Tibetan delegation reined in their horses at the same time and looked ahead in horror.

In front of them, hundreds of horsemen suddenly appeared. A hundred feet away, hundreds of horsemen dismounted silently, and then formed a formation in an orderly manner.

The Tibetan envoys looked back in panic and found that hundreds of horsemen had appeared on their way back...

No, to be precise, cavalry figures appeared in all directions. They revealed their figures silently, completely surrounding the Tibetan delegation in a circle, and then shrunk, shrunk...

No one knew how this group of people quietly surrounded them, but the situation in front of them was obviously not a good sign. The cavalry from all directions dismounted and formed their formations facing them.

They were holding a strange weapon in their hands, the kind of weapon that the Tibetan envoys had seen in Jishi Mountain. It was a very sharp murder weapon. This is why the Tibetan Prime Minister Lu Dongzan sent envoys to Liangzhou City.
