Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 522 Temporary Tranquility

Black hair, fair skin, purple pupils.

The bridge of the nose is high, the lips are like flames, and there is a restrained wildness in the mysterious and charming pupils.

The appearance of the combination of Eastern and Western temperament, the two temperaments are not contradictory, but are very skillfully integrated on her face.

There is nothing more beautiful than this.

Lu Dongzan looked at her with complicated eyes. The woman in front of him was only 19 years old, but he had adopted him for many years. He originally planned to marry his second son, Qinling Zanzhuo, as his concubine. However, the woman has learned martial arts since she was a child. Some tricks to charm men.

Such a stunning woman is a natural pawn, and she really can't let her husband and son live a mediocre life.

Now is the time to use her.

"The old country is gone, so don't worry about it. It's already happened in the early years of Zhenguan. Three generations of your royal family have tried their best, but you still haven't gained anything for decades. You should hold your breath even more."

The woman lowered her eyelids and said in a low voice: "Yes."

Lu Dongzan said again: "The envoy of the Tang Dynasty is not a mediocre person, so you should act cautiously. If you can help me to destroy Tuyuhun, I will send my troops to the east in the future, and I might not be able to compete with the Tang Dynasty."

"Find out the details of that new weapon, and kill the envoy of the Tang Dynasty by the way. It will be of great help to Tubo, and it will also be of great help to you to avenge the destruction of Tang. If Tubo wins Tuyuhun, the old man promises to give you a piece of land to help you restore the country. "

A hint of excitement flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still saluted calmly: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

"Go," Lu Dongzan sighed with concern, "Aside from national enmity and interests, I have always regarded you as my daughter. Going to the enemy's rear is extremely dangerous. You have to be careful. Even if things fail, you must also take care of yourself." For yourself, come back alive to see me."

The woman took her leave respectfully and slowly exited the tent.

Lu Dongzan sat in the tent and meditated for a long time, then raised his voice and said: "Come here, send envoys to Liangzhou City to meet the envoys of the Tang State. Tubo wants to have a serious talk with the Tang State."

…………

After the first battle at Jishi Mountain, for five whole days, the territory of Tuyuhun was calm.

Because of Tang Jun's three-eyed blunderbuss, Tubo suffered a big loss. Before they figured out the details of this new weapon, Tubo didn't dare to fight again, and Tuyuhun couldn't recover the lost ground.

The two countries fell into a strange balance like this, and the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke had not cleared revealed a bit of peace that had been quiet for years.

Liangzhou City is more peaceful, and Li Qinzai has not yet sent an envoy to Tuyuhun.

Originally, the important task of this mission was to procrastinate until Datang collected food, and then mobilized the army to beat Tubo severely.

Now that there is a temporary truce between the two countries, Li Qinzai will certainly not look for trouble. It is good for everyone to keep quiet like this.

The Jiangnan and Huainan roads in the Tang Dynasty must be busy at this time, and countless grains are loaded on large ships and sent to Chang'an via the Grand Canal.

Every day that Li Qinzai spent in the northwest was to accumulate chances of victory for Datang.

Thinking about his efforts, Li Qinzai almost moved himself, and described it in two words, "great".

In the past few days, Princess Honghua came to visit almost every day, and the two fought each other for their master.

Her Royal Highness strongly urged Tang Jun to send troops again, and drove Tubo out in one go.

Li Qinzai was not in a hurry, seeing the tricks, it is impossible to send troops, one time is enough to show his prestige, did he really treat Tang Jun as a coolie to help you risk your life?

Princess Honghua urged the troops to be dispatched, and Li Qinzai in turn persuaded the Khan and his wife to move to Liangzhou. The proposals of the two were unwilling to agree to each other, so the negotiations turned into verbal battles again and again, and gradually turned into scolding each other, and finally broke up in displeasure scattered.

As the days dragged on, Li Qinzai felt that he had a lot of youth to waste, and he was not in a hurry.

As night fell, the temperature in the city dropped sharply. Li Qinzai was shivering from the cold, wrapped in bedding. Sitting by the brazier, he still felt the chills on his body.

The city of Liangzhou belongs to the northwest, and the weather is very extreme. It is extremely hot during the day and shivering at night. The temperature difference between day and night is too great, and Li Qinzai is very uncomfortable.

On the low table next to the brazier stood a small red clay stove, on which boiled mutton was stewed with plenty of spices, and Li Qinzai had someone dig some bracken, cleaned it and put it in the pot. After eating the Tang Dynasty version of hot pot, I finally felt a little warm.

Liu Asi and Lao Wei also accompanied him, both of them were familiar with Li Qinzai's temperament, and they were not too restrained, drinking heavily and eating meat.

The three of them gathered in a pile, and it really had a bit of the charm of the Juyi Hall in Liangshan Po.

"Wu Shaolang is not only knowledgeable, but also has extraordinary cooking skills. It's the first time for a villain to eat such a warm thing. He eats while cooking, haha, so happy!" Old Wei laughed.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Eating hot pot around the stove is the most enjoyable thing in winter. I will tell you the secret recipe later. After we return to Ganjingzhuang, you can drink alone when you have nothing to do."

Liu Asi sighed: "It's a pity that this place is too desolate, far inferior to Chang'an, even Ganjingzhuang. Wu Shaolang has been wronged, and he is stuck in this small town all day, no fun at all."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's not boring to see passing Hu merchant caravans occasionally. Walking on the street every day and chatting with Hu merchants is quite rewarding."

"What can I gain from being able to chat with hozen?"

"If you want to understand the world, your vision should not be too narrow. I need to know the situation in countries other than Datang, and I want to try my luck. If I can find the seeds of new crops from Hu merchants, Datang will make a lot of money. "

Old Wei narrowed his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "Wu Shaolang, a barbarian caravan entered the city today. Hearing that the Tuyuhun territory is not peaceful, they deliberately came here from the north of Qilian Mountain."

"It took more than half a month's detour, and the Hu merchants lost a lot of money. When they entered the city, they sold the goods they brought everywhere. By the way, they even sold the Hu dancers they brought."

Liu Asi curled his lips and said: "The barbarian smells like sheep, and his maiko is probably not much better. If anyone buys his maiko, it will be like being thrown into the sheepfold. It’s too aggressive to sell.”

Old Wei smiled, and said: "Don't tell me, the maiko is full of fragrance. I smelled it close today. It's really fragrant. It's also beautiful. I've read a lot about it, old Wei. This maiko Absolutely the most beautiful in the world."

"What's worse is that his eyes are purple, and he glanced at me, tsk! He lost most of his soul, it's so attractive."

Li Qinzai twitched the corners of his mouth. When men get together to drink, they will inevitably talk about women. This problem seems to have been engraved in the genes and has not changed for thousands of years.

"Old Wei, can you be a little promising? The widow Song in Zhuangzi didn't sleep well, and she is thinking about Hu Shang's dancers again?"

Old Wei shook his head: "Sooner or later, Widow Song will be in my pocket, and I have already grasped it. But that dancer...Old Wei, I know myself. She is destined to serve the rich and noble family. I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep. arrive."

Speaking of old Wei drinking up a glass of wine, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "While still able to move, cut off a few more heads of the enemy and exchange for more rewards for the field. It is a good time to be competitive at that time. Sleep with a few more pretty widows, and this life will not be in vain!"

"Old Wei is magnificent! The lofty ambitions should be wiped out!"
