Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 75 It's So Wrong

Chapter 99 It's So Wrong

After Zhang Lejin and the six were driven to the street, they stood in a mess in the wind for a while, and an official finally came out from the post.

"Everyone, now I will take you to a resting place."

Zhang Lejin sucked the snot in instantly, then raised his head to the sky with excitement.

Thank you to God, thank you to your idol His Highness King Qian, thank you...

Led by the officials, Zhang Lejin walked along the street and soon came to a dilapidated house.

Qianzhou has been undergoing major renovations recently, so many houses have been abandoned and are so dilapidated that they cannot even be protected from wind and rain.

After Zhang Lejin and others saw the house, they immediately became messy again.

"My lord, why did you bring us here?"

Even if Zhang Lejin is a barbarian, he also thinks that this house is horribly dilapidated. Is this ghostly place for people to live in?
Even animals would dislike the dilapidated place here, right?

"This is your residence in Qianzhou."

The official glanced at them with a very disdainful look, and then let out a cold snort from his nostrils.

"Humph!"

"... "

Very well, after the contempt was over, the official swaggered away.

Pfft!
Zhang Lejin's son-in-law, Xi Nuluo, sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at the broken door in disbelief, his heart was overwhelmed, words could not describe his mood at this moment.

"Father, this person... this..."

Xinuluo was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he had always had smooth sailing in the past. From the son of a powerful chieftain of the Shelong clan to the son-in-law of Zhang Lejin, he was always respected wherever he went, but he was never as aggrieved as he is now.

So now being treated like this suddenly, Xi Nuluo's eyes gradually filled with tears, and she was about to cry if she looked at it.

Zhang Lejin, the king of Mengshe, also had a face full of sorrow, and murmured: "Impossible, the Tang Dynasty is a country that is knowledgeable, courteous, and gentle. They treat allies kindly, and they will never do such a shameless thing..."

"My lord, the times have changed!" a wealthy chieftain couldn't help interjecting.

"... "

Zhang Lejin lowered his head, trembling slightly.

It seems that Datang's moral bottom line has dealt a severe blow to his weak heart, making him afraid to accept this reality.

The Tang Dynasty was so powerful that the emperor Li Shimin was even more wise and powerful, making the neighbors willing to call him "Heavenly Khan".

However, after contacting him now, Zhang Lejin realized that he was wrong, and it was outrageous.

Datang's moral bottom line seems to be very low, not only driving them into such a dilapidated house, but also taking away their precious gifts...

My heart is so tired and I don’t love you anymore.

Zhang Lejin sighed a few times, and at the same time turned negative towards Li Chengqian.

...

The backyard of King Qian's Mansion.

What was given to Li Chengqian naturally belonged to him.

For Li Chengqian, gifts are only divided into whether they are present or not, but not valuable.

It doesn't matter if people are kicked out, but the gifts still have to be accepted. After all, this is someone's wish, and it's not easy for these gifts to go all the way from Mengshezhao to Datang.

Li Chengqian understood how difficult these gifts were, so he tried his best to keep them in Datang.

All the gifts were moved into the backyard for Li Chengqian and the others to look over in person.

The two girls, Wu Yan and Su Han, circled around a few wooden boxes and clicked their tongues.

"Your Highness, is this the gift from Meng Shezhao?" Su Han pursed his lips, with a little disgust on his pretty face.

Wu Yan was well-informed, lightly lifted Jinlian and kicked the box, said: "This gift seems a bit petty, don't say what's inside, it's just this wooden box, tsk tsk..."

Su Han opened the box, and when he saw the things inside, he became even more disgusted, "What are these? These clothes... eh~ they still smell bad."

From the reactions of the two people, it is not difficult to hear how shabby the gift from King Mengshezhao was.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "The number of people in Meng Shezhao is not as large as in Qianzhou, and they are at the junction of Tubo and Tang Dynasty. Although they are rich in resources, they are unable to exploit them."

"Coupled with the fact that there are frequent wars in the Six Edicts, with so many forces vying for such a small territory, Mengshe Edict is probably very sincere in being able to gather so many things."

Although the gift came shamelessly, Li Chengqian was still very conscientious, but every man had those few days, and Zhang Lejin and the others were unlucky, they happened to meet Li Chengqian for a few days.

"Humph!"

Su Han pouted in dissatisfaction. As a native of the Tang Dynasty, she naturally didn't like those foreigners.

This is not arrogance, but a kind of pride and confidence engraved in the bones.

This kind of pride has penetrated deeply into the soul of every citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the people look at all foreigners as if they are looking at hozens.

For example, the kingdom of Dashi is a blond hozen, while the kingdom of Wa is a dwarf hozen. Tubo... uh... Tubo is currently an ally with Datang, so they are evolving from hozen to humans.

In short, except for Datang and the countries that have good relations with Datang, the rest of the people in this world should be hozen.

This is much more explicit than any racial discrimination.

Racial discrimination only divides people into superior and inferior people, but the people of the Tang Dynasty did not regard people from other countries as human beings at all...

What's more, before the barbarians came to Qianzhou to burn, kill and loot, and killed many people, it was even more difficult for Su Han to have a good impression of them.

and…

Alas, Li Chengqian was also a little helpless, he knew that Meng Shezhao would be very poor, but he didn't expect to be so poor.

The only tiger fur coat that was available was a second-hand one.

This is not a royal family at all. No one would object if they were said to be a down-and-out wealthy family whose family was confiscated and exterminated.

"Fortunately, I asked someone to drive them out in advance, otherwise it would be a big thank you!"

Li Chengqian was full of remorse, looked up to the sky and sighed, "This Mengshe Zhao is too poor, the whole country can't produce anything decent."

...

There is no free lunch in the world, let alone a free dinner.

After accepting the gift, you have to pay the price, even if what you receive is a pile of waste products.

When Zhang Lejin and the others slept until midnight in the dilapidated house, they were suddenly hit on the head by a brick falling from the roof...

So a few people didn't dare to sleep here anymore, so they had to huddle on the street.

Fortunately, it is early autumn and the night is not cold, so I can barely cope with it all night.

But the humiliation involved made several people's faces turn livid.

So early the next morning, the six of them knelt at the gate of King Qian's Mansion, vowing to ask Datang to give an explanation.

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, even if Meng Shezhao is about to destroy the country, he absolutely cannot suffer such humiliation!
The guard opened the door, and saw a few people kneeling upright at the door.

They were shocked, and immediately went to report to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian stretched his waist, and when he saw the six people kneeling at the door, he was taken aback for a moment, wondering: "Who are they?"

"... "

The guard hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you forgot, they are from Meng Shezhao."

"Oh, yes, yes, it seems that there are so many people."

Li Chengqian patted his forehead, looked at them and said, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, we have been very respectful to you since we came to Qianzhou, but you are waiting for us like this!" Zhang Lejin gritted his teeth, his face full of sorrow, "Even if you arrange us in such a shabby place, you don't even give us food. of!"

"... "

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, looking at the weeping Zhang Lejin, he felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
