In order to improve the quality of life, Li Qinzai made a list for Lu Dongzan, which included various luxuries, as well as cute and charming Tuguhun girls who were good at singing and dancing.
However, it didn't take long for Lu Dongzan to send someone over. Judging from the visitor's expression, he probably wanted to tear the list into pieces and throw it in Li Qinzai's face.
Most of the requests on the list were rejected, and it was impossible to have them in the Tibetan camp.
Lu Dongzan himself didn't enjoy any Persian carpets or silver pots inlaid with gems, so why should he give you an envoy from a foreign country?
The only thing he agreed to was food, but Lu Dongzan happily sent dozens of live sheep, so the Li family lit a fire outside the camp and roasted the whole sheep.
Next to the bright red bonfire, Li Qinzai sat cross-legged, cutting the roasted lamb leg in front of him with a dagger, biting it down, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with oil.
"Not bad, Ah Si's skills are getting better and better," Li Qinzai was full of praise, praising and eating at the same time.
"By the way, send a letter to Lu Dongzan in my name to express to him the strong protest of the Tang envoy against Tibet..."
Liu Asi was stunned: "What are you protesting for?"
"Protest that the Tibetan camp is too poor and does not treat me, the distinguished envoy of the Tang Dynasty, well."
Liu Asi didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and said nonchalantly: "Can you still protest against this?"
"In this world, as long as you are thick-skinned, anything can be protested." Li Qinzai said seriously: "Of course, protest is just a form. The main purpose is to disgust Tubo through protest. Who calls them poor."
After Liu Asi hesitated for a while, he nodded in agreement.
In the pitch-black night, a sudden burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from far and near, as if they were coming towards Li Qinzai's camp.
Liu Asi and the others immediately became alert and subconsciously pulled out their swords. Liu Asi said in a deep voice: "Old Wei will protect the Fifth Young Master and retreat while the rest form a formation!"
Being in the enemy camp, the nerves of the members of the Li family are very tight. The slightest disturbance can cause them to react violently. In a place surrounded by enemies on all sides, any slightest mistake may lead to disaster.
Judging from the number of hoofbeats, there were only about a dozen riders coming, but they were coming with a fierce force and showed no sign of slowing down as they approached the camp. Liu Asi's eyelids twitched, and he became more and more convinced that the enemy had launched a charge.
"Prepare your bows and arrows!" Liu Asi shouted violently.
Old Wei was about to pull Li Qinzai to retreat behind the tent. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Li Qinzai had turned into a black smoke and fled out. When Old Wei came to his senses, Li Qinzai was already hiding behind the tent and cautiously sticking his head out to look around.
.
Seeing that Old Wei was still dazed, Li Qinzai waved to him: "Come here quickly. You are not actively trying to escape. Are you sick?"
A feeling of relief welled up from the bottom of Old Wei's heart.
Meeting a master who cares about his life really saves worry and effort. There is no need to persuade him at all, he can hide quickly on his own.
What I'm most afraid of is meeting someone who has no ability but is trying hard to save face. He talks a lot and says he wants to die with the enemy, but his body is pulled away by his subordinates very honestly. Since he loves acting so much, he should polish it more.
Isn't your acting skill good?
The sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer. Liu Asi looked solemn. Just when he was about to give the order to release the arrow, he suddenly heard a familiar female voice coming from the opposite side.
"Li Qinzai, you should die!"
Liu Asi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Li Qinzai who stuck his head out from behind, trying to tell from his expression whether the person coming was an enemy or an unpaid romantic debt of the Fifth Young Master.
Li Qinzai was like a scumbag who always gave up. He said with an innocent face: "What are you looking at me doing? I don't know her!"
Liu Asi nodded, and just as he was about to give the order to release the arrow, the sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped, and more than a dozen figures dismounted. In front of them was a stunning woman with a fox cloak on her shoulders, her pretty face frosted, and she walked towards the tent step by step.
Liu Asi immediately shouted: "Stop whoever is coming!"
Zi Nu ignored him and walked towards the camp step by step without fear.
Li Qinzai cautiously poked his head out. He also recognized Zi Nu, and suddenly felt doubts in his heart.
Didn't he let her go free? Why was she still stubborn and returned to the Tubo camp?
Could it be that this stupid woman has Stockholm Syndrome after being praised by Lu Dong for so long?
Zi Nu's pretty face was filled with sadness as she got closer and closer to Li Qinzai. The light of the bonfire highlighted her stunning face, but it was full of shame, anger and murderous intent.
As Zi Nu walked away, he said coldly: "Li Qinzai, our grudges have been cleared, why are you ruining my reputation and slandering my innocence in front of the Prime Minister?"
Li Qinzai took a closer look at her face by the light of the bonfire, and then suddenly smiled.
"What did I do? I just praised you a few times in front of the Prime Minister, and am I angry? Are you being unreasonable?"
Zi Nu said angrily: "What did you praise me for?"
"It's nothing to praise you for."
Zi Nu was so angry that he immediately pulled out the knife and shouted: "I will kill you today, and you will be whiter than me after death!"
After saying that, Zi Nu raised his sword and swung it at Li Qinzai.
Liu Asi and Lao Wei were shocked, and just as they were about to take action, Li Qinzai was already circling the camp, shouting: "This is a personal grudge between me and her, and no one is allowed to interfere with it!"
The musicians stopped immediately and looked at each other in hesitation.
Looking at the scene in front of me, it is indeed a personal grudge between a man and a woman, with some romantic disputes and so on. It seems... it is really not appropriate to get involved.
Liu Asi and Lao Wei quickly looked at each other and decided to sit back and watch.
Being able to be hacked by such a stunning woman, even if you are a ghost, you are happy.
Li Qinzai had run around the tent more than a dozen times to avoid Zi Nu's pursuit, and finally he suddenly flashed and got into the tent.
Zi Nu also gritted his teeth and followed into the camp with a knife.
After rushing into the camp, Li Qinzai seemed to be a different person. He had some free time to sit behind the low table and catch his breath. Zi Nu also stopped and stared at him with complicated eyes.
"Okay, I was supposed to cooperate with you in the performance and turned a blind eye. Now it's just you and me. Let me take a breath."
Zi Nu snorted: "Did you see it just now?"
"Nonsense, who can't see your bad acting skills? That means everyone in the surrounding area is under your command, there are no outsiders, otherwise you would have been exposed long ago."
Zi Nu said angrily, "I really want to kill you! Why did you ruin my reputation in front of the Prime Minister?"
Li Qinzai said confidently: "When you speak ill of someone behind their back, how do I know you will come back?"
Zi Nu was so angry that his chest was so tight that he almost couldn't breathe.
This bastard spoke so righteously, I don't know how much reason he thought he had.
When he was hesitating whether to make a show and chop him with a knife, Li Qinzai kindly reminded him: "Let's talk, you'd better make some noise and come out. In the eyes of outsiders, we are fighting hand to hand in the camp."
It’s hard to tell…”
Zi Nu gritted his teeth and slammed a porcelain plate on the low table to the ground, making a huge cracking sound.
Li Qinzai's cheek twitched. This was a porcelain plate he brought from Chang'an. It was very expensive.
"Tell me quickly, why did you meet me in this way?"
Zi Nu raised his hand and threw another porcelain plate, and Li Qinzai said "ouch" very cooperatively.
Then Zi Nucai said coldly: "I don't know why you are seeking death and coming to the Tibetan camp on your own initiative, but I want to tell you that Lu Dongzan will not let you go."
Li Qinzai stared at the fragments of the porcelain plate on the ground and said quietly: "Hurry up and don't talk nonsense. Every nonsense you say is valuable."
