"Get out of the way!"

There were so many people on the road that Zhang Tongzhou couldn't continue to move forward. He could only turn over and dismount with a roar, and trotted all the way towards the location of the "Avengers", which was heavily surrounded.

"Haha, I wonder where the envoy is going early in the morning? Why do you want to be so excited? ”

Before Zhang Tongzhou didn't know Tang An's intentions, he arched his hand and snorted. What people in an angry state need most is soft appeasement, and they are good at being peacemakers, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, this Lord Tang should sell himself a face, right?

He thought he was a seamless performance, but Tang An didn't buy it at all. Glancing at him coldly, he said, "Get out!" ”

Tang An's arrogant attitude not only made Zhang Tongzhou stunned, but even the surrounding onlookers began to whisper.

A foreigner from the Tang Dynasty actually dared to go wild in Daqi, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?

A flash of anger flashed on Zhang Tongzhou's face, but he didn't dare to attack after all, but laughed and said, "Master Tang, is there any misunderstanding during this time?" Let's see if we can lay down our weapons first and discuss everything! ”

The chill on Tang An's face continued unabated, and he waved his hand resolutely and said, "There's nothing to talk about!" The Hu people of Xia Guohu are menacing, and they want to capture my Tang River and Mountain. The Tang Dynasty was unable to support alone, because he admired the reputation of Daqi benevolence and righteousness, so he came from thousands of miles to ask for help. How do you know that the country of Qi deceived the world and stole the world, with benevolence, righteousness and morality on his lips, but in fact, he could not save him when he saw death, insidious and despicable! This trip to the east was a waste of my time and life! Get out of here, don't delay us going back to save our compatriots! ”

"Hehe, this ...... Lord Tang is angry, Lord Tang is angry. ”

After listening to Tang An's words, Zhang Tongzhou finally understood where his resentment came from.

Due to the status of the family, Zhang Tongzhou has heard everything that happened in the court, and he also knows a lot about Li Yu's ambiguous attitude.

Datang reached the critical moment of life and death, and finally pulled down his son to ask for help, but he didn't even have a word here, I'm afraid that anyone else will be upset.

It's just that he couldn't have imagined that this Lord Tang had such a hot temper, and chose an extremely extreme way to vent his dissatisfaction, which made the streets and alleys full of wind and rain.

Looking at the surprised faces of the people around him, Zhang Tongzhou knew that this matter was no longer beyond his control.

"What did Tang Envoy say, I have always been benevolent, and I will never do such a thing."

Gently wiping the sweat stains on his forehead, Zhang Tongzhou comforted Tang An, who might run away at any time, and quietly instructed his subordinates on the other hand: "Quick, go and inform Your Majesty, just say that something happened at the West City Gate, and the Tang envoys will forcibly break through the city gate and return to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

***********************************************

There is no need to report at all, Li Yu's imperial drive is already rushing to the West City Gate.

Although there was still a slight chill in the air, Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, looking extremely nervous.

In the past few days, he has been hovering between sending troops or not.

It is undeniable that the conditions given by Tang An are very tempting. If you send troops, you can achieve the name of benevolence and righteousness, and you can get vast mountains and rivers without much effort.

He had almost made up his mind, but he thought of another question: Even if he sent troops, would Datang be able to win? If he loses 100,000 lions, it will be a price that even he can't afford. He will be scolded by the entire Qi country and become a faint monarch who has been stinking for thousands of years!

Although he is now, at least, he does not have this kind of awareness.

Li Yu, who was in a state of confusion, was at a loss, and the courtiers who were divided into two factions for the sake of profit talked about the pros and cons, which made him even more undecided.

He always thought that he would think of a solution for both worlds in a few days, but he never thought that he only wanted to take advantage and not blow a loss, and no matter how long it was, he would not have an ideal answer.

What's more, Tang An won't give him enough time.

As soon as he thought of that stunned envoy, Li Yu was angry--how could he be so impulsive? How can it be so rough? Doesn't he know that if the Tang Dynasty and his party leave like this, how will the whole world view the Qi court and how he will treat him as an emperor?

They will think that the country of Qi is not virtuous and will not be saved when they see death, and the "benevolence and righteousness" signboard that is carefully maintained will become the laughing stock of the whole world!

What's even more terrifying is that the foreign envoys are angry and stay away, and even have to wave their swords to break through, which is simply a great shame for the great Qi who governs the country with benevolence!

He wouldn't think about why Tang An chose this path, he would only feel that he had embarrassed himself and made Daqi ashamed!

The sad thing is that even if he is full of anger now, he does not dare to touch Tang An in front of everyone, but uses gentle means to appease him and maintain his reputation of "benevolence and righteousness" among the people.

The hypocrisy wearing a mask is the source of the weakening of the original power.

Just thinking about how to dissipate Tang An's anger, the carriage had already arrived at the West City Gate.

Seeing His Majesty coming, the people were shocked. Armored palace guards arrived with cold weapons and carved a way through the crowded streets.

Zhang Tongzhou saw the emperor's imperial court, it was like seeing a savior, and he was secretly relieved.

Just now, he has been grinding with Tang An, trying to delay time. Hearing Tang An enumerate one big truth, looking at people's determination to regard death as home, and then looking at the change in the attitude of the people around him, even he felt panicked. Now that His Majesty is here, he has finally taken the burden off his shoulders. After a respectful salute, he stood aside and turned into air.

Li Yu got off the royal court, deliberately put on an inexplicable appearance, and said in surprise: "The widow was shocked to learn that something happened at the city gate, and I didn't want it to be the riot caused by the envoy you." These days, the widow has always treated the envoy as a guest, but the envoy has embarrassed the widow like this, why? ”

Tang An didn't mean to get off the horse at all, and he didn't have the interest to be with him, so he smiled coldly and said, "Why Tang made this decision, Your Majesty should know better than anyone else in your heart." ”

Li Yu blinked, pretending to be dazed: "What did the envoy say?" ”

"Now, is Your Majesty still in the mood to play dumb riddles with me?" The corners of Tang An's mouth pulled up a trace of disdain, and he said aloud to the people around him: "Fellow villagers of Qi Kingdom, I am Tang An, the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty. Our group came all the way to Daqi because we had long admired the reputation of Daqi's 'benevolence and righteousness', thinking that we were all descendants of China, and that Qi could save our Tang Dynasty from danger when it was in danger and save the people from fire and water - but what was the result? ”

Don't underestimate the gossip power of the people. Tang An, why they came, the people already knew it clearly. Originally, when he saw Feng Zhiyao and Liu Qian singing and dancing, King Qi attached so much importance to Tang An, and it was a sure thing that everyone would do it. Can you listen to Tang An's meaning...... Looks like something is wrong.

Thinking of the opportunity to find out the secrets of the imperial court, the fire of gossip among the people began to burn again.

They had no doubt about the authenticity of Tang An's words, because they were already at a disadvantage, and they came with the purpose of begging for help, if it weren't for the unsatisfactory answer given by the imperial court, why did they have to behave so extremely?

Tang An saw everyone staring at him with a pair of curious eyes, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he said with great indignation on the surface: "Tang has already made the truth very clear: the Hu people in the Western Regions are attacking, and my Tang Dynasty is in trouble both internally and externally, and it is definitely not an opponent of the Xia Kingdom." And the ambition of the wolf son of the Xia Kingdom, if it annexes my Tang Dynasty, the next Qi State will definitely not be spared! They are like the wolves of the steppe, fierce, greedy, and insatiable! Your Majesty must wait until the Hu army is under the city to wake up? They will use the land and wealth of the Tang Dynasty to recuperate, learn the culture of the Central Plains to strengthen themselves, and when they fight against Qi again in the future, what will you do against such a powerful enemy! ”

Tang An's words were awe-inspiring, and his cold eyes scanned around and found that the eyes of the people were full of fear.

As the people of the "Shangguo", the people of Qi look down on the Hu people of Xia from the bottom of their hearts. In their eyes, those people were vulgar and barbaric, and they were the most inferior people. But at the same time, they were extremely afraid of these savages, because both in the literature and in their imaginations, the Hu people were fierce and vicious monsters who drank blood.

If Tang An didn't mention this, many of them probably wouldn't have thought that they could live the peaceful life they are living now, because there is a country to their west that bears the pain of resisting foreigners for them.

And now, the country is on the verge of falling. When they sent a signal for help, Qi Guo, a neighboring country, chose to turn a blind eye!

Why did the Qi court do this! Are they going to let a friendly neighbor fall and watch a terrible enemy rise?

Confused! Ridiculous!

Li Yu's face turned red and white when he said this, and when he saw the questioning and angry eyes of the people around him, he said nervously: "This ...... Tang Envoy misunderstood......"

"Misunderstanding? Not necessarily. Tang An's face was even more sarcastic, and he pointed to the brothers who came with him, and said, "These people are my siblings, and the reason why they chose to give up going to the battlefield and come here with me is because they want to contribute to the country they love. But what? They didn't die on the battlefield, but they left their lives here! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the west and said loudly: "In that palace, there is a group of people who do not care about the overall situation for their own interests!" They don't want us to borrow male soldiers, they only want us to continue to fight with the Xia Kingdom, and the Qi Kingdom can sit back and enjoy the success! They naively thought that we could continue to consume with Xia Guo, but they didn't know that even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, how could we abandon our dignity and come here to borrow troops!! In order to achieve their goal, they brazenly dispatched killers, trying to kill us several times!! Pity those brothers of mine, who did not exchange their blood for the heads of a few Hu people, but fell on the deception of you in the Qi Kingdom!! ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

In the hearts of the people, they are the inheritors of Confucian culture, and they should help the world in the spirit of "benevolence". And as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty said, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? How did you know that the glamorous court on the surface would have such a terrible side - a killer? Is that the group that Qi should have? Could it be that the wise ministers of the country that the people came here are such a group of short-sighted things?

Many people stared at Li Yu in disbelief, as if they wanted to judge from the changes in his facial expressions whether the court they trusted was really so dark.

Tang An's words were tantamount to slapping the face of the Qi court. The image of Rumu that they have been deliberately creating collapsed in an instant in a few words.

Li Yu's face was embarrassed, but in order to protect the face of the imperial court, he said: "Tang Envoy's words are wrong, those killers are not-"

"It's not from the court, is it?" Tang An interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "Your Majesty, you are not a three-year-old child, there are some things you can know." But I don't understand one thing - is it because we are not sincere enough, or is the price not enough? As I said, as long as Qi is willing to send troops to relieve the danger of our Datang, we will bear the grain, grass and materials. For the sake of millions of people, our Majesty has even ceded a large area of land in the east, is this not enough to impress you? When did the court of Qi become so greedy? ”

The people were even more shocked.

Sending troops to rescue is a benevolent act, even if it does not charge any compensation. Because helping Datang is equivalent to helping Qi Guo himself. But I didn't expect that the Great Qi Imperial Court would issue such an equivalent code, turning the righteous act into a naked transaction!

When they looked at Li Yu again, the people could not hide the disgust on their faces.

They could never have imagined that the monarch, who keeps saying that he helps the world, is a treacherous villain with different hearts!

Stared at with a pair of disdainful eyes, Li Yu swallowed his spit, and scolded Tang An in his heart - can this kind of thing be said in public?

However, through Tang An's attitude, Li Yu could understand one thing: this group of people had really made up their minds to leave the Qi Kingdom! Because of his own hesitation, the merit of expanding the territory, the temptation of a large land, and the good reputation of a benevolent and righteous teacher to help his neighbors, they have all waved goodbye to him.

Tang An said that when he was emotional, he "snorted", and said with a trilling voice: "For so many years, how have we ever had a dispute with your country?" We know that the people of Qi are just like us, they are peace-loving people who hate war. We never thought about aggression and possession, we just wanted to live in peace and stability. We fought desperately against the alien threat and never complained. But at the most critical juncture, do we want to ask for a little help from the Qi country that we respect, but it will turn into a dirty exchange of interests? ”

Li Yu was remorseful in his heart, and at the same time, he was defeated and retreated under Tang An's eloquence, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Special envoy...... This is serious, and the widow has never said that he will not send troops......"

Seeing Li Yu's compromise, as well as the sympathy and angry eyes of the people, Tang Anxin became more and more determined.

Making such a decision was not easy for him at all. This extreme action has only two endings: first, Li Yu compromises; Second, to provoke the imperial court.

The first result is naturally happy, but if Li Yu is angry, they may not escape death.

Tang An was gambling. And gambling money is a reputation that sounds illusory, but is regarded as life by all Qi people.

The pursuit of "benevolence" by the people of Qi has reached a point that borders on paranoia. And it is precisely with this hypocrisy that the imperial court has won the respect of the people. So even though the kingdom is weak, the people still maintain a strong heart.

And now, Li Yu's hesitation and the swaying of the imperial court have consumed the last layer of Tang An's patience. He could wait, but the soldiers of the Western Regions couldn't.

He wants to use the spear of the hypocrisy of Qi to attack the shield of benevolence and righteousness that has been handed down to this day!
