In Anren Hall, everyone couldn't help but feel a little lost after hearing Zhizang's words.
They had just seen Li Daoxuan's method, but they thought it was powerful, but they couldn't tell how powerful it was. Now, after being reminded by Zhizang, they knew the secret behind it.
With a casual stroke of your hand, you can create an extra distance out of thin air. This kind of magical power is really unbelievable!
If it were used in siege operations, wouldn't it be possible for their Tibetan soldiers to never climb the city wall if Master Li made such a move?
Li Daoxuan said modestly: "I am so virtuous and capable, but I dare to compare myself with the Queen Mother of the West. This little monk is ridiculous."
The Queen Mother of the West is the Holy Mother of Yaochi, a Taoist goddess who commands the three realms and ten directions. She has a very noble status. Li Daoxuan's current Taoism is still far behind that of this supreme goddess.
However, this also confirmed the power of the great magical power of Shifting Stars and Changing Dou, and actually reminded Zhizang of the great god Queen Mother of the West.
At this time, Zhizang looked at the maid in green clothes again. He was about to say something, but his pupils froze, revealing a look of surprise.
I saw that the bronze sacred tripod of his Tantric lineage quickly shrank in the hands of the maid. In just the blink of an eye, it changed from more than one foot high to four or five inches, like a small bronze wine bottle.
The amount of grape wine inside also decreased, and it seemed that I could drink it all in one gulp.
But Zhizang knew that the wine in this cauldron was enough for dozens of people to drink happily.
Hide Sumeru in mustard seeds!
Zhizang suddenly remembered this great magical power. He looked at the maid in green clothes in disbelief. He couldn't believe that she had such great magical powers!
Could it be that this maid is also a Yang God?
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. In the eyes of others, the Queen in Tsing Yi turning the giant cauldron into a wine glass is just very magical, like an illusion performed on the street, but Zhizang understands deeply that this is by no means an illusion!
This maid in blue is probably a very important person!
Zhizang frowned. He would never believe that a Yang Shen with great supernatural powers would be a maid for others. It should be noted that all women in the Yang Shen realm are the beauties of heaven, with peerless beauty, even if they are the king of a country. , but also treat them as guests of honor.
How can you be a slave to someone?
However, the next moment, the green-clothed maid Yingying bent down, raised the smaller bronze cauldron with both hands, and handed it to Li Daoxuan. Although her voice was indifferent, she did assume the posture of a maid.
"Sir, please drink."
The speculation in Zhizang's heart suddenly wavered. Could it be that the maid in blue was not the Yang God?
Li Daoxuan felt quite "flattered" and a little moved at the same time.
He understood that the empress made this gesture to support himself. If even the maid could accept the Tubo master's methods, then the Tubo people would undoubtedly be more afraid of him.
He took the wine glass and took a sip. He felt that the wine had a long aroma and a slight sweetness. The stamina was not high, but the aftertaste was long.
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, he tapped the wine glass, and saw the amber-like grape wine flying out in all directions and falling into the wine glasses of everyone at the table, not too much, just full.
"Being happy alone is not as good as being happy together. My lords, why don't you share a glass of this fine Tubo wine?"
Li Shimin laughed loudly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said: "Taichong said it well, dear friends, come, let's drink this wine together to celebrate the alliance between the two countries!"
Everyone drank the wine from the cup together and praised the taste of this grape wine.
The tense atmosphere just now suddenly relaxed a lot.
Li Daoxuan handed the wine glass in his hand to the empress in Qingyi and said with a smile: "Qingni (ni), come and have a taste too."
The empress in green looked at him with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but she always wanted to give Li Daoxuan some face in the eyes of everyone. She gave him a thousand blessings gift again and said, "Thank you, sir."
She took the wine glass and suddenly remembered that Li Daoxuan had just drank from this wine glass.
After pondering for a moment, she put the wine vessel transformed into the Holy Cauldron to her mouth and took a sip.
Li Daoxuan was about to ask her how she tasted, but he saw her frown slightly, and the next moment she poured the drink in her hand towards the west, as if there was some poison hidden in the drink.
Wow!
The small wine glass actually poured out a wave of wine, but the strange thing was that the wine disappeared after falling to the ground, and the ground was not even wet.
It was as if the drinks had evaporated out of thin air!
This scene made everyone's eyes jump.
Wang Bo, who was responsible for guarding Li Shimin's safety, was shaken. He took a step forward and shouted: "No, that wine must be poisonous!"
Li Shimin looked at the bottomed wine glass on the table and twitched the corner of his mouth.
The ministers at the table, as well as the Tibetan envoys, also had dark lines on their faces because they had just drank that glass of wine.
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhizang.
Because he provided the wine, and when everyone else was drinking, he was the only one who didn't drink because he wanted to abide by the commandments, and just drank tea instead.
Zhizang himself was stunned, but fortunately, Li Daoxuan's voice sounded.
"Don't panic, everyone. This wine is not poisonous. The reason why my maid poured the wine was not to tease you, but for her own reasons. Your Majesty will find out after you send someone to the Western Market to inquire about it."
Li Daoxuan originally didn't understand what the empress was doing, but when he heard some sounds, he suddenly understood.
Everyone was doubtful, and Li Shimin immediately sent someone to inquire about the news about Xishi.
The leader of the Tibetan envoys, Gonbu, was very angry and felt that Li Daoxuan was instructing his maid to embarrass them.
"Zhenren Li, I respect you as a wise man, but you should also take care of your subordinates. Those wines are the best grape wines in Tubo. They are gifts that Zamp personally selected for the Tang Dynasty. No matter what they are, Why, how can we allow a maidservant to wantonly destroy her?"
His words were rude and fierce. As an envoy, humiliation would lead to the death of the minister. Although he was afraid of Li Daoxuan, he also had his own bottom line.
At this moment, his blood surged, and he risked his life and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, just now Mu Chi was disrespectful to Your Majesty in the palace. You gave him an eighty-point cane. We have nothing to say, but this maid will personally choose Zanpu." To waste the fine wine at will is also disrespectful to me, Tubo Zanpu!"
After a pause, he said loudly: "For the sake of the alliance between the two countries, I beg your Majesty to give her an eighty-point cane!"
At this time, other Tubo envoys also stood up.
"Your Majesty, please punish that maid!"
"Your Majesty, please give me justice in Tibet!"
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, shouldn't everyone be treated equally?"
…
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of unhappiness in his heart, but he did not get angry immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Daoxuan and asked, "What does Taichong think?"
Li Daoxuan looked at the empress in green who was silent and as quiet as a lotus.
"sorry for bothering you."
The empress in green quietly transmitted the message, with a hint of apology in her usually calm eyes.
"Between you and me, why bother saying sorry."
Li Daoxuan stood up, smiled at her, and then held the soft and smooth catkin in front of everyone. It felt as gentle as jade and as soft as snow.
The Empress in Tsing Yi's eyes twitched, and she wanted to struggle, but then she thought, it was only this time anyway, and when this trip was over, Ziyu would have cultivated the Lotus Dharmakaya, and by then the worst she could do was not see him again.
Moreover, because of her behavior, she had just caused trouble for Li Daoxuan, and she felt a little guilty.
Besides, I am not the Queen in Tsing Yi at the moment, but just his maid. As a maid, if I show too much resistance, will it embarrass him?
In a flash, she thought a lot and found many reasons for herself not to resist.
The art of change seemed to put a mask on her. If she were still the empress in green at this moment, even if she valued Li Daoxuan, she would never let him be frivolous. However, after changing her appearance, her mentality seemed to have changed slightly.
So she remained calm and lowered her eyes, letting a man hold her hand for the first time, neither taking the initiative nor resisting, like a stiff ice sculpture.
