Two Tubo spies and three Tuyuhun spies knelt in a row in front of the post gate.
More and more people were watching. Five people stood behind the prisoner with their swords unsheathed and expressionless. Liu Asi stared at the screen in the post. Behind the screen, two figures remained motionless.
With the crowd watching, the five scarred prisoners were trembling all over, but Liu Asi hesitated to order the killing, his cold eyes still staring at the screen.
Behind the screen, Luan Zhongcong and Princess Honghua stood together for the first time. Their eyes were still filled with hatred, but they both had a tacit understanding and remained silent.
After a long time, Lun Zhongcong said: "Your Highness, princess, do you want to go out and rescue your spy? You are the princess of the Tang Dynasty. If you come forward and speak, you will definitely be able to rescue him."
Princess Honghua sneered: "Why don't you go out? Didn't Tubo always clamor for war with the Tang Dynasty because of their sharp soldiers and swords? If you come forward, Li Qinzai must not dare to kill those spies, right?"
Lun Zhongcong's face darkened and he snorted angrily.
Are you kidding me? That young envoy from the Tang Dynasty is a lunatic. When he goes crazy, he even dares to destroy the envoy. Will he not kill the spy just because he came to plead for mercy?
Listening to the commotion outside the post, Lun Zhongcong said coldly: "Li Qinzai killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and also to establish his authority. He killed the spy in front of us today, which further weakened the spirit of your and our missions. Go to When I negotiated with him later, his momentum was completely suppressed."
Princess Honghua hummed and said, "Yes, neither you nor I can get any advantage, but the Tang Dynasty has intervened in this war, and it will only stop after reaping the full benefits."
Lun Zhongcong glanced at her with a smile.
What I said to her yesterday had obviously had an effect. Her Royal Highness the Princess had become wary of Tang Guo, and she had realized the dangerous situation in Tuyuhun.
Lun Zhongcong looked at her and said slowly: "Those spies don't matter, they will die if they die, but for the next negotiations, we can't sit still and wait for death."
Princess Honghua glanced at him coldly: "Do you have any idea?"
"Yes, in the name of the Prime Minister of Tubo and Tuyuhun Khan, he sent people to Chang'an to urgently report the crimes committed by Li Qinzai in Liangzhou City, and spread rumors in Chang'an City, causing criticism from both the government and the public. Even though the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty If I don’t want to replace the envoy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to withstand the criticism from my subjects.”
"Li Qinzai must be replaced. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty replaces a new envoy to Liangzhou with a less powerful and disciplined envoy, you and I will not have to bear such great pressure, and both countries will benefit." Lun Zhongcong said calmly. typical.
Princess Honghua snorted coldly: "I and you, Tubo, are sworn enemies. Why should I listen to you?"
Lun Zhongcong smiled and said: "The two countries are fighting at the front for their own interests. You and I conspired to replace the Tang envoy, and it is also for our own interests. Your Highness, hatred is not a reason, interests are eternal."
"Li Qinzai is very resourceful and ruthless. If you continue to serve as the Tang envoy, your Tuyuhun will definitely be divided between Tang and Tubo. There is no doubt that if another Tang envoy comes, Tuyuhun may still have a chance of survival."
Princess Honghua sneered: "If the Tang Dynasty changes its envoys, will Tibetans retreat?"
Lun Zhongcong smiled and said: "I dare not hide it from Your Highness. Tubo will definitely not retreat, but you and I can make a deal privately on behalf of our respective countries. As long as the Tang Dynasty has a new envoy, I would like to express my feelings to the Prime Minister. Please stop with the Prime Minister." We can discuss how much territory Tuyuhun Khan can leave during the war."
Princess Honghua stared into his eyes and said slowly: "I want you Tibetans to withdraw from the entire Tuyuhun territory, and give Nuohebo Khan a complete Tuyuhun territory."
Lun Zhongcong sighed and said, "Your Highness, please be more mature and see the reality clearly."
Princess Honghua was startled, biting her lower lip and making no sound.
Outside the hotel, Liu Asi, who had been waiting for a long time, finally shouted: "The time is up. Five of the criminals have been found guilty and beheaded!"
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed, and then the crowd receded like a tide.
The five temporary executioners of the Li family suddenly swung down their swords, and five heads rose into the sky. Five bodies fell limply to the ground, still twitching, and red blood flowed all over the ground.
Behind the screen, Lun Zhongcong and Princess Honghua looked at each other with their hairs standing on end, their eyes filled with fear.
Although they knew that Li Qinzai was trying to intimidate and establish his authority, and they had clearly seen through Li Qinzai's intentions, Zhong Cong and Princess Honghua were still frightened. Whether they admitted it or not, they were already in awe and awe of the young Tang envoy. It has become a bit weaker without realizing it.
Outside the hotel, Liu Asi once again took a deep look at the two figures behind the screen, snorted coldly, ordered Bu Qu to pack up the prisoner's head and body, and left silently.
In the open space outside the hotel, the blood on the ground had turned reddish brown and penetrated deeply into the sand and soil. The smell of blood around them lingered for a long time. The onlookers covered their noses and walked around in fear.
Lun Zhongcong and Princess Honghua did not show up from beginning to end, as if they had no idea that someone had just executed the prisoner outside the hotel.
However, Li Qinzai's strong behavior was as persistent as the bloody smell outside Guanyi, leaving a deep shadow on Lun Zhongcong and Princess Honghua.
After standing behind the screen for a long time, Princess Honghua suddenly said: "According to what you said, tonight I will go to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to accuse Li Qinzai of various crimes and evil deeds, and send a fast horse to Chang'an. I will also write a letter to my clan relatives." , ask them to help persuade the emperor and bring new envoys to Liangzhou."
Lun Zhongcong smiled and said: "That's very good. Your Highness might as well cooperate with me for a while, and leave matters on the battlefield to be resolved by the battlefield."
Princess Honghua gave him a disgusted look, turned around and walked away without saying hello.
…………
Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.
Li Qinzai has been really tired these past few days. Although he hasn't done any physical work, using his brain all the time is very tiring for his body and mind.
Liangzhou City became increasingly cold in winter. Li Qinzai hid in a side hall and lit several charcoal fires in the room. However, he still felt drafty from all sides, so he wrapped a Persian blanket around his body and finally felt a little warmer.
"This damn weather, there is still such a heartless fight, making me come all the way here to stay in this damn place..." Li Qinzai murmured.
I don’t know how the food preparations in Jiangnan and Huainan are going. Counting the days, he has been in Liangzhou for more than a month.
The past month or so has been very fulfilling. I don’t know what others think, but Li Qinzai had a great time grabbing this and killing that.
But no matter how much fun he had, it was not as good as a mother-in-law and a child. Li Qinzai just wanted to end it all quickly and return to Chang'an to continue to enjoy his old age.
After knocking on the door a few times, Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Zinu walked in wearing a rich Western-style brocade robe, the bells on his ankles still jingling.
"Master, I have roasted a leg of lamb for you and prepared a pot of Western grape wine. In such a cold weather, Master, please have a little drink to warm yourself up." Zi Nu said, placing a tray next to Li Qinzai. on the low table.
Li Qinzai looked at her and then at the tray. On the exquisite porcelain plate, the leg of lamb was steaming, and there was a rich aroma.
