Although there are thousands of people, I will go.
Li Qinzai has never been a noble person. He even hates the word "noble". He always feels that it has a derogatory connotation. It is disgusting to use this word to praise others.
He doesn't like to stand on the moral high ground, and he hates others lifting him up to the moral high ground. Ordinary people, don't judge others blindly.
A mortal person, with joy, anger, sorrow, greed, anger and ignorance, can have a little bit of each, but not too much. When encountering beauty, you will still be tempted. When encountering money, you will inevitably feel greedy. When facing death, you can hide and hide. If you are not so noble, you have to face death. Isn't that sick?
But this time, Li Qinzai still gritted his teeth and embarked on a life-or-death journey.
It can't be said that he has no hesitation, he just feels that his work has not been completed, and he has failed Li Zhi's trust and his wife and children's expectations.
Tuyuhun's strategic position is undoubtedly very important to the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty fails to capture it this time, how will the history books describe him as the emperor's envoy?
Many years later, Qiao'er, who had grown up, asked him doubtfully that when the Tang Dynasty was just one step away from capturing Tuyuhun, why was it still taken over by Tubo? Why was the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Anxi Protectorate restricted by Tibet?
How should Li Qinzai answer him?
I'm sorry, kid, your father was timid back then. The Prime Minister of Tubo was waiting for me to talk with him with a knife, but I didn't dare to go. As a result, Tuyuhun was taken over by Tubo. I bought you a piece of candy. Can you forgive me?
Tsk, Li Qinzai has no shame in making it up. He's just a coward. Buying a piece of candy will make the father in his son's heart great?
Even so that his son would not look down on him in the future, Li Qinzai had to bravely face him this time.
As a father, some things are more important than life. I can die, but I must not leave an excuse for future generations to go to their own graves every Qingming Festival and spit on their own tombstones.
When we left Liangzhou City, we saw a desolate area outside the city. Under the gray sky, there were a few sparse herds of cattle and sheep, struggling to push aside the withered hay with their tongues and roll up the roots buried deep in the ground to eat.
A few herdsmen held whips and sat on the rocks looking at the sky in a daze. Their dark and sad faces silently said that all living beings are suffering, and they can only cultivate the afterlife.
Everyone rode out of the city and headed west.
After running for dozens of miles in a long time, I looked at the yellow sand and hills, and there was no end in sight.
After dismounting and resting for a while, eating dry food and drinking water, the group set off again.
In the evening, Li Qinzai and others arrived near Qinghai Lake and ordered to set up camp and feed the horses.
We have entered the territory of Tuyuhun, and in the distance we can vaguely see the undulating Qilian Mountains and the still endless desert hills.
After seeing enough of these desolate scenery, Li Qinzai felt that there was almost no grass left in his heart.
The fresh roasted leg of lamb temporarily soothed his psychological boredom. Li Qinzai sat by the campfire, wrapped in a blanket. Liu Asi cut off the roasted leg of lamb piece by piece with a dagger and placed it in front of him.
"Fifth Young Master, General Zheng has sent an order. Five thousand border troops have been mobilized to the Qilian Mountains to assist Fifth Young Master at any time. If something happens to Fifth Young Master in the Tubo camp, five thousand frontier troops will immediately send troops..."
Li Qinzai hummed, and then sighed: "It can be considered a psychological comfort. If Lu Dongzan puts the knife on my neck, will he still wait for our five thousand border troops to come from the Qilian Mountains?"
Liu Asi said in a deep voice: "If Lu Dongzan really dares to do this, we will fight for the Fifth Young Master and never let Lu Dongzan harm you."
Li Qinzai smiled: "There was a moment when the two hundred or so of us were not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth. No matter how hard we tried, it was useless. The Tibetan army drowned us just by soaking in urine."
Liu Asi's cheeks twitched a few times and said: "The truth is correct, but... you should be more tactful. It would be too uncomfortable to drown in urine."
"Don't worry, Lu Dongzan shouldn't dare to attack me. He is also afraid of giving Datang a reason to send troops. He dares to kill the envoys of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, unless he doesn't want to do it."
Liu Asi said in confusion: "But you said that Tubo will definitely go to war with the Tang Dynasty. Since a war is inevitable, does it make any difference to him whether he kills the envoys or not?"
"Of course there is a difference. Whether to kill the envoy or not is the difference between being righteous and having a guilty conscience. For example, you thought your mother-in-law's food was not delicious, so you punished her harshly. Is there something wrong?"
Liu Asi's chest puffed up: "Of course there's nothing wrong with her. My mother-in-law doesn't cook well, why don't I punish her severely!"
"If your mother-in-law found out that you were hooking up with the female shopkeeper of a silk shop in Liangzhou City, and deliberately made the food unpalatable, would you have the nerve to punish her?"
Liu Asi said confidently: "Of course I'm sorry! What's wrong with a man hooking up with a wife outside? If the mother-in-law at home doesn't cook well, she still has to clean it up!"
Li Qinzai opened his mouth in shock and found that he was speechless.
So, should the generation gap and value differences that have separated us for thousands of years be reflected in this kind of nonsense?
Men who lived in the Tang Dynasty were real men and stood up straight.
Suddenly, I felt a faint sense of regret. I should have slept with the beautiful Princess Loulan today. Everyone around me was so confused. Why should I, the dignified county uncle, be holding the chastity arch?
Liu Asi looked at him with confusion: "Fifth Young Master, what do you mean by the analogy? What does it have to do with my mother-in-law whether Lu Dongzan kills us or not?"
Li Qinzai's interest suddenly waned, and he didn't even bother to compare metaphors.
"Nothing, I wish you happiness, loving husband and wife, and growing old together..." Li Qinzai sighed.

Zi Nu walked out of the Liangzhou City prison alone with a small bundle in his arms.
Standing far outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Zi Nu hesitated and hesitated. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ask the officer in front of the Governor's Mansion about Li Qinzai.
The officers knew Zi Nu. When this stunning dancer was in the Governor's Mansion, she had caused a sensation among the officers and servants in the mansion. Knowing that she was County Uncle Li's personal dancer, many officers were still willing to spy on her from a distance, as long as they could. Seeing this stunning beauty was worth the punishment from the superior officer.
Zinu was imprisoned and released, all under the orders of County Uncle Li. The officer didn't want to pay attention to her, but after all, in the face of her beauty, the officer seemed to be hypnotized and spoke out happily.
Zi Nu looked shocked and didn't move for a long time.
"He... dared to go to the Tubo camp alone. Is he going to die?" Zi Nu muttered absentmindedly.
Having been raised by Lu Dongzan since she was a child, Zi Nu knew Lu Dongzan's character very well. She knew very well how cruel and ruthless this Tibetan Prime Minister, who was the most powerful among the people, was.
Li Qinzai had killed two Tibetan missions, and he already had overwhelming hatred for Lu Dongzan. Now he dared to take the initiative to bring it to Lu Dongzan's lips. How could he be immortal?
No wonder he went to jail today, and after flirting with her, he released her for no reason. At this moment, it seemed that he actually had the intention of explaining the funeral arrangements.
