Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Doubts have been suspected for a long time. Li Qinzai is not so easy to trust others, especially people from other countries and races, so he is even more careful.

From the very beginning of his landing in Wa Kingdom this time, Li Qinzai was deeply suspicious of Brother Zhong.

Although there is no sign that Brother Zhong is playing tricks, Li Qinzai is more willing to analyze Brother Zhong's words and deeds from the perspective of human nature.

Dajiangzhi committed suicide in the palace, scholars and monks from all over the country gathered to make trouble, demanding to return the power to the king, and forces from all over the world rose up one after another...

Since landing on the island, all kinds of incidents have continued in the territory of Wa, how could Li Qinzai not suspect that someone is behind the scenes?
To be able to cause so many troubles without being too obvious, the identity of the instigator behind it must be unusual. Looking at the territory of the Wa Kingdom, the only person capable of doing these things, except for the king of the Wa Kingdom, Li Qinzai really can't think of anyone else.

Then Li Qinzai analyzed the psychology of the elder brother Zhong. A ZTE ruler who once held great power and had extraordinary national strength and combat power, was later destroyed by the disaster of the country and was imprisoned in the palace by the enemy for several years and could not step out of the palace.

Is such a person willing to bow down to the enemy for the rest of his life?

There is no evidence, but it is in line with the logic of human nature. Li Qinzai's suspicion of Brother Zhong is naturally logical.

Brother Zhong's fiasco tonight was not without reason.

He underestimated Li Qinzai, a young man in his 20s would also capsize him in the gutter.

Brother Zhong fell in the mud all over the floor, his expression completely hopeless.

Li Qinzai got up, walked to the luggage, patted the wooden barrels and wooden boxes sealed with oil paper, and said with a smile: "The southern city set fire to the houses, and the courtiers gathered a thousand or two thousand dead men to send them to death, and restrained my three thousand defenders." , but you brought the dead out of the North City and came straight to my camp, isn't that why?"

The wooden barrel and wooden box were sealed with oiled paper, but inside were unopened gunpowder bullets and spare three-eyed guns.

Li Qinzai sighed: "I have to say, you are pretty smart. You know that my Master Tang Dynasty can destroy your country with the help of firearms and gunpowder, so in your eyes, it is even more important than restoring the country..."

"If you get it, call craftsmen to study the secret formula, and if you can make firearms and gunpowder yourself, your country of Japan will not only be able to rejuvenate and prosper the country, but also compete with the Tang Dynasty and compete for supremacy in Haidong..."

"Your Highness, I can't tell that you are ugly, but you are beautiful in your thinking." Li Qinzai's smile became colder.

"Gunpowder is not so easy to figure out the secret recipe. You have underestimated me from the Tang Dynasty again. Even if I send gunpowder to you and let you study it for two or three years, you probably won't be able to make a name for yourself. "

Brother Zhong bowed his head, his face was ashen, and he said sadly: "I was wrong, very wrong... I shouldn't have such ambitions, in addition to defeat, it is death, why bother."

Li Qinzai also sighed: "Yeah, why bother? Since the naval battle at Baijiangkou, your Wa Kingdom is destined to be controlled only by my Tang Dynasty. This is something you cannot change, and the Wa Kingdom cannot be changed from generation to generation."

"After this battle, the Tang Dynasty will send literati and Confucian scholars from all over the Central Plains to set up private schools in the Wa Kingdom to teach me the language and scriptures of the Central Plains and the scriptures of the sages. After three generations, the Wa Kingdom will no longer exist, and the royal family will move the whole family to the Datang Dynasty. If you live here, you may be given a Han name by the emperor, and you will be named a hereditary Duke."

"What you did tonight can't shake Datang's control over the Wa Kingdom at all. Even if you succeed tonight, Datang will try to take it back. Wa Kingdom is Datang's future strategic location and an outpost for exploring the world. It can only belong to Datang forever."

Brother Zhong closed his eyes dejectedly, and sighed: "The next thing has nothing to do with me. If you win a king or lose a bandit, what can you say about your husband's refusal. County Lord Li, ask your generals to send me on my way."

Li Qinzai stared at him, and was about to open his mouth to say something, when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from ahead.

Everyone looked up, only to see Luye Zanliang rushing into the gate of the camp in the heavy rain, plopping and kneeling in the mud, looking sadly at Li Qinzai and Brother Zhong.

Li Qinzai frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Lu Ye Zanliang cried: "It is my misfortune to be born in the Japanese royal family, but I have no choice. Wu Shaolang, please allow me to do one last thing for my father. I don't ask you to forgive my father's life. I just ask My life, in exchange for my father's life."

Li Qinzai said coldly: "It can't be changed, you have no value."

Lu Ye Zanliang pleaded: "My father's legs are broken, he is already a disabled person, after today, he will also abdicate as the king and be imprisoned by the Tang army voluntarily. From then on, he is just a disabled old man with no one to rely on. Shaolang, I just ask you to save him alive."

Li Qinzai fell into deep thought.

In the past few days, the Tang army has suppressed the local forces in the Japanese country, and the banner they played is "Anne respects the king", and those who do not respect the king will be wiped out by the Tang army.

So here comes the problem, Li Qinzai himself put forward the decree of honoring the king. If he killed the king of the country tonight, he would be slapped in the face. From a political point of view, it would be a failure. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has lost its prestige in the country.

You proposed "respecting the king", but in the end you killed our king, who will believe in any decree issued in the future?

The country of Wa is a strategically important place predetermined by the Tang Dynasty, and it will be managed from generation to generation in the future. If it wants to manage it, the court must first win the trust of the people.

Killing Brother Zhong at this moment would do more harm than good to Datang, and the gain outweighs the gain.

Luye Zanliang trembled all over, staring at Li Qinzai pleadingly.

Brother Zhong also showed the look of wanting to live. He would rather die than live. When the ambition left his body, he finally aroused the desire to live.

After thinking about it, Li Qinzai walked slowly to Luye Zanliang and helped her up with his own hands.

"Seven days later, I planned to give your father the first seven in a grand and lively manner. To be honest, I even helped him look after the grave, and buried it outside the gate of the camp. It is a good feng shui treasure, to ensure that he will be protected in the next life." There are thousands of women, and there are still people taking pictures of him with a machine, he is so beautiful..."

Luye Zanliang burst into tears. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of Li Qinzai's words, she could tell that her father's life could be saved.

"Many, thank you Wu Shaolang!" Luye Zanliang cried loudly.

Brother Zhong's eyes also showed ecstasy. After the heavy pressure was released suddenly, his body suddenly collapsed, and he collapsed softly on the ground.

Li Qinzai sighed unwillingly: "Your father is destined to die, but I always miss the old love. Who told you to serve me in my house for several years? Seeing that you have been well-behaved these few years, It's okay to spare your father's life, but just this once, if your father dares to jump around again..."

Luye Zanliang said eagerly: "If father still dares to do things that are not loyal to the Tang Dynasty, even if Wu Shaolang cuts him into pieces, the servants will not complain."

Brother Zhong also said weakly at this time: "I...I dare not, really!"

Li Qinzai ignored Eldest Brother Zhong, and just glanced at Luye Zanliang indifferently: "For whom did I save your father's life?"

Lu Ye Zanliang was grateful and said: "It's for the servant girl. The servant girl will never forget the kindness of Wu Shaolang in this life. I am willing to repay you like a cow and a horse."

"It's not necessary to be a cow or a horse. It's enough for a maid with two ponytails to pretend to serve me."

After speaking, Li Qinzai was taken aback, does this count as using power for personal gain?Big Brother Forgiveness seems to have nothing to do with Little Baga, but... Hey, Commander of the First Army, can't we have this kind of welfare?

Li Qinzai then looked at Eldest Brother Zhong, and said coldly: "Tomorrow, you will prepare an edict of abdication, and present it to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to plead guilty."

Brother Zhong said honestly: "Yes, follow the order of Li County."

"Also, tomorrow you and the royal family will board the ship, and the whole family will move to Tang Chang'an to live, and the place of residence will not be so free. Your whole family will probably be locked up in the house for the rest of your life."

Brother Zhong nodded in agreement.

Li Qinzai said again: "Choose the youngest child from among the children of the royal family to be the king of the Wa Kingdom, and the Tang Dynasty will send officials to assist the new king."

Glancing at Eldest Brother Zhong again, Li Qinzai said slowly: "As for the officials of the Wa Kingdom, there is no need to stay. Their help is indispensable for the chaos tonight. These disasters cannot keep them alive, and they will cause too much trouble for the Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness thinks that Woolen cloth?"

At this time, I am fish and meat, and others are swordsmen, what can Brother Zhong do?

"Everything is left to Li County Lord, and the vassals are no longer qualified to ask."

Li Qinzai smiled: "Very good, then act accordingly. It doesn't matter if the courtiers are gone, but a new batch of courtiers can be recruited in the territory of Wa Kingdom. I prefer those who are pro-Tang mentality. This matter will be handled by the officials sent by the Ministry of Officials of the Tang Dynasty , don’t worry about it.”

Looking up at the sky, the rain seemed to have stopped.

Li Qinzai said leisurely: "Tomorrow may be a good weather."

…………

In the middle of the night, the soldiers who had fought bloody battles returned to the camp, and Li Qinzai personally greeted them outside the gate.

A battle tonight, the result is not bad.

About [-] dead soldiers assembled by courtiers and dignitaries in Feiniao City were all wiped out by the Tang army. According to Li Qinzai's military order, the soldiers rushed into the mansions of all the Japanese courtiers and captured their entire families.

Outside Asuka City, the [-] Japanese Allied Forces in the north were ambushed by Liu Renyuan's troops, and Wang Fangyi's troops came from the north, just encircling the Allied Forces on all sides.

There were indeed tough guys in the alliance army, and they didn't give up even though they were surrounded. After killing a group of stubborn Japanese people, the remaining [-] alliance troops finally surrendered.

Originally, the Tang army did not take prisoners, but this time it set a precedent.

2 people is not a small number, and it would be a pity to kill them. According to Li Qinzai's order, Wang Fangyi and Liu Renyuan accepted the surrender of 2 people, and then locked them up in the wild for care.

So far, an incident initiated by the eldest brother Zhong, the king of the country of Wa, has come to an end.

To welcome the soldiers back to the camp, Li Qinzai stood outside the gate nodding and smiling, the soldiers suddenly felt inspired, and cheered loudly after returning to the camp.

After all the soldiers returned to the camp to rest, Li Qinzai returned to the commander's tent.

He was also very tired tonight. Although he didn't go to the battlefield to fight in person, he had walked a lot. The pampered Wu Shaolang was very delicate.

As soon as he entered the tent, Luye Zanliang greeted him.

At this moment, Luye Sanliang was no longer in a distressed state. He had obviously just bathed. Under the dim candlelight, Luye Sanliang who had just bathed had picturesque features, and his body exuded a faint body fragrance, which smelled very comfortable.

Luye Zanliang brought a basin of hot water, offered to help Li Qinzai undress and take off his shoes, soaked his feet in the hot water, and rubbed them for him constantly.

Li Qinzai sighed comfortably.

Life... is short of twintails and maid outfits.

Men, what they need is certainty in direction.
