Many seemingly unrelated things only need a logic to connect them, and everything makes sense.
The Tubo people were not soft persimmons. They could not be manipulated by the Tang Dynasty, nor could they sit back and wait for the Tang Dynasty to deal with Goguryeo before turning around and dealing with them.
Therefore, the Tubo people must do something before the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition to cause some trouble for the Tang Dynasty.
After some analysis by Li Qinzai, Song Sen also figured it out and said in surprise: "The Tubo envoys frequently come in and out of the residence of warriors. Do they want to assassinate someone?"
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time and said: "Let's guess who the Tubo people killed in Chang'an City. Who would be most beneficial to them? Or, could it achieve the purpose of delaying or destroying the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition?"
Song Sen thought for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I really can't think of it. Could it be that they dare to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
"You are as stupid as my disciples, very clear and cute." Li Qinzai complimented him, and then said: "Of course it is impossible to assassinate the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even if they are brave enough to do so."
Before the other party made any move, Li Qinzai could not figure out what the Tibetan envoy wanted to do, so he could only sigh: "Baiqisi will continue to monitor closely, deploy more manpower, pay close attention to the movements of everyone entering and leaving the residence, and tell me as soon as there is any news. .”
Song Sen clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will order you to go down now."
After watching Song Sen leave, Li Qinzai stood alone at the door for a long time without entering.
After pondering, Li Qinzai said to Liu Asi, who was escorting him behind him: "Summon Tang Ji to see me."
Tang Ji came very quickly, with a strange figure, and suddenly appeared in front of Li Qinzai without anyone noticing.
Li Qinzai was sitting in the backyard, holding a bowl of golden milk in his hand. When Tang Ji suddenly appeared, Li Qinzai was holding a mouthful of milk in his mouth, but he was very calm. The milk in his mouth did not spurt out, but in his hand The bowl flew so high that it finally landed with a bang and broke into pieces.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before Tang Ji said innocently: "Did the villain scare you?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "Don't you see that I am as still as a mountain at this moment? How could a big shot like me be scared? You underestimate me too much."
】
Tang Ji's face was expressionless, but a smile flashed in his eyes.
Li Qinzai stood up, pointed forward, and said: "There are many people here, let's go to a quiet place to talk."
Tang Ji walked in front, and Li Qinzai followed.
As soon as he took a step forward, Li Qinzai took a running start and then kicked Tang Ji hard on the butt.
Tang Ji didn't expect that Li Qinzai would sneak attack him. This flying kick was so impartial that Tang Ji almost lost his temper.
Turning to look at Li Qinzai in shock, Tang Ji's eyes were full of confusion.
Li Qinzai said calmly: "I'm sorry, I lied just now, and you really scared me... Let me tell you a little bit of science. Big people always stay calm when encountering big chaos, but the nature of big people is actually very stingy, and they are a little scared. Everyone must take revenge."
Tang Ji nodded: "I understand, I understand. The kick I received just now was not unfair."
"It won't do you any good to say hello in advance when you show up next time. It won't do you any good to scare me to death. You will be cast into a pottery figurine and buried with me."
The two walked to the corridor on the east side of the backyard. Li Qinzai crossed his legs and shook his head, then said: "I have something for you to do. It's not too troublesome, but you may have to take action."
Tang Ji's expression returned to coldness: "Whoever you want to kill, just say it, the villain will do it without leakage."
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "The problem is, now I don't know who to kill or who to save. The matter is not clear yet. I called you here just to prepare for a rainy day."
"The villain doesn't quite understand."
"You lurk in the Seiyi Pavilion and keep an eye on the Tibetan envoy Zashile and the people who come in and out of his residence to see what they want to do. No matter what they want to do, your task is to make them unable to do it."
Tang Ji seemed to understand, and asked: "Do you want to kill someone?"
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "No, it's better to let them live than to die."
"I understand, as long as we stop the Tibetan people's actions."
Tang Ji nodded coolly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Li Qinzai stopped him, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "You have been with me for a long time. It seems that I haven't paid you a salary yet?"
Tang Ji shook his head: "Salary is not important to me."
Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, he liked this kind of gentleman who did good deeds without asking for reward.
A gentleman can be deceived.
Decisively changing his words, Li Qinzai said seriously: "Since you don't need a salary, I won't force you. You are a good person."
Tang Ji's face was expressionless, but Li Qinzai seemed to see contempt in his eyes.
"After this is done, if you have any hobbies, I can treat you." Li Qinzai smiled and drew a cake for him: "Whether you like prostitution, eating, or drinking, I will treat you."
Tang Ji paused for a moment and suddenly said: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty is going to march eastward?"
Li Qinzai nodded.
Tang Ji said: "I want to go on an expedition with you, can you?"
"Do you want to gain military merit, or simply serve the country?"
Tang Ji thought for a while and said: "No, I probably just want to vent my anger on the battlefield."
Li Qinzai seriously suggested: "You can consider becoming a monk. The Bodhisattva can help you eliminate all your anger and make you peaceful. In addition, you can go to the wishing pool in the middle of the night and steal the coins from the mouth of the bastard. From now on, you can become a peaceful person." The peaceful rich monk..."
Tang Ji was too lazy to reply and immediately turned around and left.
Li Qinzai looked at his back and shook his head.
Those who bear a blood feud have been completely kidnapped by hatred throughout their lives and will never be able to be themselves again unless the great revenge is avenged.
Li Qinzai didn't know much about Tang Ji, but he knew Tang Ji's pain.
As Li Qinzai's tool, Tang Ji may also be dormant, waiting for opportunities.
…………
Midnight, midnight.
There is still a little noise in Chang'an City.
The city's curfew policy is no longer as strict as it was during the Zhenguan period. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, many curfew rules were actually semi-abolished.
Among the 108 squares in the capital, there are still many squares where singing, dancing, drums, and harps are still going on in the middle of the night, and the brothels and houses are singing and dancing.
Tonight, the surroundings of the Siyi Pavilion in Changshoufang were quiet.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was finally movement on the wall east of the Siyi Pavilion.
A dozen warriors climbed out of the wall and landed quietly. After carefully checking their surroundings, a dozen warriors crouched and quickly walked towards the west of Chang'an City.
Not long after the warriors left, several people dressed as ordinary people came out from the corner of the wall. After looking at each other, they followed the dozen warriors in front and quickly climbed up.
After the two groups of people left, Tang Ji appeared opposite the Siyi Pavilion like a ghost. He stood in the dark shadow of the trees, like a soul without an owner, staring at the direction in which the two groups of people left with cold eyes.
In that direction, it seems to be Wannian County Government Office.
