Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 961

Many seemingly unrelated things only need a logic to connect them, and everything makes sense.

The Tubo people are not soft persimmons, they cannot be manipulated by the Tang Dynasty, nor can they sit and wait until the Tang Dynasty cleans up Goguryeo before turning around to deal with them.

Therefore, the Tubo people must do something before the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition, and cause some trouble for the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Qinzai's analysis, 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, in Chang'an City, who would the Tubo people kill to benefit them most? Or in other words, can it achieve the purpose of delaying or destroying the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition?"

Song Sen thought for a long time, then smiled wryly: "Forgive me for being stupid, I really can't figure it out. Could it be that they dared to assassinate the Emperor of Tang?"

"You look as dull as my disciples, very clear and lovely." Li Qinzai praised him casually, and then said: "Of course it is impossible to assassinate the Emperor of Tang, and I would not dare to borrow the courage of the two of them."

Before the other party made any move, Li Qinzai couldn't guess what the Tubo 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 who enters and exits the residence, and let me know as soon as there is any news." .”

Song Sen clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will order you to go down immediately."

Watching Song Sen leave, Li Qinzai stood alone at the door for a long time, but did not enter.

After pondering, Li Qinzai said to Liu Asi who was guarding behind him: "Call Tang Ji to see me."

Tang Ji came very quickly, and with a strange figure, he suddenly appeared in front of Li Qinzai without anyone noticing.

Li Qinzai was sitting in the backyard, holding a bowl of golden crisp milk in his hand. When Tang Ji suddenly appeared, Li Qinzai had a mouthful of milk in his mouth, but he was very calm. The bowl flew high, and finally landed with a slam, breaking into pieces.

The two stared at each other in silence for a long time, Tang Ji said innocently: "Did the villain scare you?"

Li Qinzai said calmly: "Didn't you see that I am standing still like a mountain? How could a big man like me be frightened? You underestimate me."

Tang Ji was expressionless, but a smile flashed in his eyes.

Li Qinzai got up, pointed to the front, and said: "There are many people here, let's talk in a secluded place."

Tang Ji walked in front, and Li Qinzai followed.

Just as he took a step, Li Qinzai made a run-up and kicked Tang Ji hard.

Tang Ji didn't expect that Li Qinzai would sneak up on him. This flying kick was so impartial that Tang Ji almost ate shit.

Turning his head to look at Li Qinzai in astonishment, Tang Ji's eyes were full of puzzlement.

Li Qinzai said calmly: "I'm sorry, I lied just now, you really scared me... Tell me about science, big people always calm down when they encounter chaos, but big people are actually petty, and even a little frightened There must be revenge."

Tang Ji nodded: "The villain understands, the kick just now was not wronged."

"The next time I show up, say hello in advance. It's not good for you to scare me to death. You will be cast in a pottery figurine and buried with me."

The two walked to the corridor on the east side of the backyard. Li Qinzai shook Erlang's legs and said immediately, "I have something to ask you to do. It's not troublesome, but you may have to do it."

Tang Ji's expression returned to ice-cold: "Whoever you want to kill, just say it, the villain will do it well."

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 yet clear. I asked you to come just to prepare for a rainy day."

"The villain doesn't understand."

"You lurk in the Siyi Pavilion, watch the Tubo envoy Tashile, and the people who enter and leave his residence, and see what they are going to do. No matter what they want to do, your task is to make them unable to do it."

Tang Ji seemed to understand, but asked, "Are you going to kill someone?"

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "No need, it's better to keep them alive than dead."

"Understood, as long as the actions of the Tibetans are stopped."

Tang Ji nodded coolly, then turned and prepared to leave.

Li Qinzai stopped him, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "The time between you and me is not short, 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, and he liked this kind of gentleman who did good deeds without asking for reward.

Gentlemen, you can deceive them.

Resolutely 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 was expressionless, but Li Qinzai seemed to see contempt in his eyes.

"After this matter is over, if you have any hobbies, I can treat you." Li Qinzai smiled and drew him a cake: "Whether you like whoring, eating or drinking, I will treat you."

Tang Ji paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "I heard that Tang Dynasty is going to march east?"

Li Qinzai nodded.

Tang Ji said: "I want to go out with you, can I?"

"Do you want to make military achievements, or purely serve the monarchy?"

Tang Ji thought for a while, and said: "No, I 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 your hostility and make you peaceful and peaceful. You can also go to the Wishing Pool in the middle of the night to steal coins from the bastard's mouth. From then on, you will be a peaceful person. The peaceful Fu Monk..."

Tang Ji didn't even bother to answer, and immediately turned and left.

Li Qinzai looked at his back and shook his head.

A person who bears a bloody hatred has been completely kidnapped by hatred all his life, and will never be himself again unless the hatred is avenged.

Li Qinzai didn't know Tang Ji well, but he knew Tang Ji's pain.

Beneath himself as Li Qinzai's tool man, Tang Ji may also be dormant, waiting for an opportunity.

…………

In the middle of the night, at midnight.

There was still a little noise in Chang'an City.

The curfew policy in this city is no longer as strict as it was during the Zhenguan period. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, many curfew rules have actually been semi-abolished.

In the [-] squares of the capital city, there are still many places where singing, dancing and drums are still going on in the middle of the night, and the brothels and Chu houses are singing and dancing.

Tonight, the Siyi Pavilion located in Changshoufang is quiet.

At three o'clock, there was finally movement on the wall to the east of the Siyi Hall.

A dozen warriors jumped out from the wall and landed silently. After carefully checking their surroundings, a dozen warriors bent their backs and hurried towards the west of Chang'an City.

Not long after the warriors left, a few people dressed in ordinary clothes came out from the corner of the wall. After looking at each other, they quickly followed the dozen or so warriors in front of them.

After the two groups of people left, Tang Ji appeared on the opposite side of the Siyi Pavilion like a ghost. He stood in the dark tree shadow, like an unowned soul, staring coldly at the direction in which the two groups of people left.

That direction seems to be Wannian County Government.
