Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 974
After saying goodbye to his wife and children, Li Qinzai went to the study in the backyard alone.

Li Ji stood in the yard outside the study, stroking his beard and watching him with a smile, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Li Qinzai strode forward and bowed down on one knee: "Grandpa, grandson is going to war, grandpa, take care."

Li Ji nodded and said with a smile: "I'm used to seeing your slutty appearance, but suddenly seeing you wearing armor, you look very heroic, like a young general fighting on the battlefield."

Li Qinzai was a little surprised, and said cautiously: "Grandpa, if you are good at this, when your grandson returns from triumph, he will dangle in front of you in armor every day..."

Li Ji laughed loudly: "The little bastard pleases the old man so much, what do you want?"

Of course wanting a legacy...

After all, Li Qinzai still didn't dare to say it, even as a bastard, he thought it was too stupid.

Li Ji's smile gradually faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Going to the Wa Kingdom, be careful. From the tribute paid by the Wa Kingdom's envoys, it can be seen that although the Wa Kingdom has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the king is actually not reconciled. He wants to get rid of the Tang Dynasty's control. , maybe some conspiracy is brewing."

"After you go to the country of Wa, don't trust any people from the country of Wa. The only people you can really trust are our family's trilogy and the [-] Tang soldiers in your hands."

Li Qinzai lowered his head: "Grandson understands, grandpa don't worry, with grandson's shrewdness, he will definitely not suffer a big loss, but the king of the Wa Kingdom is different, he cannot afford to fail, not even once."

Li Ji's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "If there is an accident in the Wa Kingdom and you are in a hurry, you can make a timely decision, including the king of the Wa Kingdom, you can kill everyone, and the old man can take care of you in front of Your Majesty."

"Under Datang's control, it doesn't matter who is the head of the country."

Li Ji also instructed some military and state affairs, and taught Li Qinzai unreservedly the life experience accumulated by a generation of veterans on the battlefield.

Li Qinzai wrote down one by one respectfully.

After exhorting, Li Ji was silent for a moment, and waved his hands freely: "Go, I am waiting to join you in Goguryeo."

Li Qinzai said in a low voice: "Grandpa, the war against Goguryeo is more dangerous than the Japanese kingdom. Grandpa must be careful and take care of yourself. You are old. Don't be impulsive in everything. If you accidentally fall into the enemy's way, it is important to save your life. If you can escape, escape and stay behind." I got Qingshan in..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ji was already furious: "You bastard! I have fought countless battles in my life, how can I be defeated when I am old..."

Li Qinzai said deadly: "Grandpa's words are wrong. General Li Guang of the Han Dynasty also fought all his life. He was dying when he was old. He was captured alive by the Huns..."

Li Ji's eyelids twitched, and then he looked around familiarly.

Li Qinzai sighed. It's a good thing he didn't have the fate to be the emperor, otherwise he would be a foolish emperor who wouldn't listen to any harsh words...

"Grandpa calm down, grandson will bid farewell!"

Li Ji flicked his robe sleeve angrily: "Get lost!"

After Li Qinzai left, the courtyard was very quiet, Li Ji stood alone in the courtyard, his tall and straight figure unknowingly hunched down.

Life is late, the famous general is old, and he has thousands of lives in his hands, and he can't stand the parting from his family at this moment.

How could you be so depressed?

…………

Hugging vigorously with his wife and children one by one, in their tears, Li Qinzai turned and left decisively.

Hundreds of members of the Li family wore armor and stood quietly outside the Duke's mansion. Seeing Li Qinzai stepping out, Liu Asi and others bowed their swords together.

A murderous atmosphere permeated outside the mansion, and countless passers-by stopped one after another, avoiding him respectfully.

Li Qinzai took the reins from Steward Wu and was about to get on his horse when he suddenly heard a bold passer-by in the crowd ask, "Is the general going out for the country?"

Li Qinzai froze for a moment, then smiled at him and said, "That's right, go out for the country."

Strange passers-by immediately bowed to Li Qinzai in salute.

"May the general win a great victory, the soldiers return triumphantly, and the Tang Dynasty wins!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

Li Qinzai got on his horse, waved his hands to the crowd, and said loudly, "Wansheng, Tang Dynasty!"

After speaking, he flicked the reins, surrounded by the trilogy, a group of people galloped away towards the gate of the city.

Outside the Duke's Mansion, the passers-by still stood still until the figures of Li Qinzai and his followers disappeared. They still kept bowing postures, as if only in this way could they express their inner respect for the soldiers who went to war.

After a long time, people came and went outside the Duke's mansion again.

Strange passers-by talk to each other.

"The general just now was so young, and he looked so heroic. I wonder which family he is from?"

"I'm stunned, don't you know how to read? I didn't see anyone coming out of the British government. Of course they are the children and grandchildren of Yinggong and his old man."

"Yinggong has many descendants, the one just now is..."

"That is Yinggong's most promising grandson. Haven't you heard of 'one family with two princes'? The one just now is Li Qinzai, Yinggong's fifth eldest grandson, who was conferred the title of Duke of Weinan County."

"He looks like he's in his 20s, but he's already a county magistrate, a figure!"

"It's a character. It was fought from the battlefield with a sword and a gun. I heard that that person also made a lot of contributions in the past. Otherwise, do you think his county duke fell from the sky? He will go to the battlefield again." Let’s save face for Datang and grab the land..."

"After the many veterans of the Tang Dynasty, there is a new star. Haha, carry on the past and open up the future. The country is full of talents. It should be a waste of time. Tonight, ask the mother-in-law to add a dish and drink two bowls of fermented glutinous rice. I wish the young general a victory."

Li Qinzai and his party left the city and flew towards the camp in the northern suburbs thirty miles outside the city.

The imperial court's official eastward expedition to Goguryeo has not yet started, but Li Qinzai must go one step ahead.

The preparations for laying out the Wa country, building a good port, recruiting the young and strong of the Wa country, etc., were cumbersome and time-consuming. Li Qinzai had to go to the Wa country first and deal with it himself.

A group of people soon arrived at the camp in the northern suburbs. Li Qinzai reined in his horse outside the camp, and the trilogy followed suit.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Li Qinzai suddenly found a woman wearing a plain palace dress outside the camp gate. Her baby-fat little face was flushed, her eyes were big and bright, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her temples were brushed lightly. Outside the camp gate.

Li Qinzai smiled, threw the reins to Buqu, stepped forward and said, "Little Baga, today is beautiful."

Luye Zanliang bowed his head and bowed to Li Qinzai: "My servant pays homage to Wu Shaolang."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "This time I go out with me, you are the eldest daughter of the Emperor of Japan, so you don't need to call yourself a slave."

Luye Zanliang was silent for a moment, then said: "I dare not overstep, but I have a request."

"Just say it, I won't agree anyway."

Kano Sanliang: "..."

"Haha, I'm just kidding you, tell me, I'll listen first."

Luye Zanliang then said softly: "The fifth young man is going to fight for the country, so the victory is already decided, whether you have slaves or not, it will not affect your overall situation, so slaves ask, can you not let slaves go with you?"

Li Qinzai didn't seem surprised, and said with a smile: "Look, we really have a good understanding. Your request troubles me, and I really won't agree..."
