It is said that it rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, but that refers to the Guannei, for the desert that is so hot that you can scald eggs on the sand, this is clear and not clear, it seems that there is no difference, this is not, the sky is going to be clear, but this day is early in the morning the sky is cloudless, the sun is shining, there is not even a trace of breeze, this is early summer, the temperature is as high as midsummer, even if it is just a single clothes to hide in the house is still hot breathless, if not there is ice in the snow cellar in the winter to put the house in the town, Li Zhen was afraid that he would not be able to sit still for a long time, but even if he was impatient, he would not be able to get out of his body at this time, without him, at this time, Qin Wenhua was reporting on the negotiations with the envoys of all parties in the past few days, but he never thought that a noise came faintly outside the mansion, which immediately made Li Zhen frown unhappily, waved his hand, interrupted Qin Wenhua's report, and glanced at Yan Shiba, who was standing in the corner of the study, and said, "Eighteen, go and see what is going on." ”

Yan Shibai saw that Li Zhen's face was displeased, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly answered, flashed out of the door of the study, and hurried to the door of the mansion, but he had already rushed back in a moment, and looked at Li Zhen with a strange look on his face and said, "Your Highness, it is the prince of Tubo who is making trouble outside the gate of the mansion." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhen's face sank, and he snorted coldly from his nose, and his displeasure was overflowing - Tubo is the goal of Li Zhen's strategic concept, and before he really did anything about it, he must get along with it as much as possible, as soon as the Tubo envoy arrived yesterday afternoon, Li Zhen personally went out of the city to greet him, escorted him all the way to the foreign domain, and ordered to treat the Tibetan envoys well and not to conflict with them, but it was only a night's work, and something happened, which really made Li Zhen angry.

Li Zhen's body was full of anger, and his face sank, Yan Shibai couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, here's the thing, the Tubo prince said that he wanted to see the scenery of Jiaohe, and he didn't let the people of the outer domain accompany him, and he led a few warriors to wander around, and then arrived at the gate of the Duhu Mansion, this guy probably wanted to see His Highness, but he didn't have a token on him, and the sergeants at the door didn't let him in, so he had a seizure, and he moved his hand, and injured a few brothers. I made a move, so I ......" Yan Eighteen said this, and he couldn't say any more, and looked at Li Zhen with a blank look.

What is this kid doing? Li Zhen frowned, and while getting up, she asked casually, "Who won?" ”

"Tie." Yan Shibai glanced at Li Zhen with a little embarrassment, and then added: "Two to one." ”

Uh-huh, good guy, do you have some skills! Li Zhen had already walked to the door of the study, and when she heard it, she suddenly paused slightly, and she was surprised in her heart - Eagle Seven and Eagle Eight are all masters of the Eagle Group, although they can only be regarded as ordinary people among the masters of the Eagle Group, but they are all first-class masters on the rivers and lakes, and now they have not been able to win one of the other party with two to one, which shows that the other party's skills are already extremely smart, but Li Zhen doesn't take it very seriously, without him, not to mention that the people in the Eagle Group who are better than Eagle Seven and Eagle Eight are not old and young, it is the "Rising Sun" Although there are not many people in other organizations who can take the combined attack of Eagle Seven and Eagle Eight with the strength of one person, there are also twenty or thirty people, as for Li Zhen's own shot, Eagle Seven and Eagle Eight will not be able to hold even one face.

"Mr. Mo and Qin Tingshi, the two of you will discuss it first, and this king will take a look." Li Zhen confessed without looking back, strode out of the study, and rushed to the gate of the Duhu Mansion.

Li Zhen lives in the capital of the palace is located in the center of Jiaohe City, however, because it is a military and political place, there are few houses around, and there are not many markets, restaurants and other popular places, in the past, there are not many pedestrians, but at this time, the gate of the palace is crowded with people, a large number of black crows, from time to time there are cheers from the crowd, it is simply a race over the temple fair, so lively that Li Zhen, who has just left the house, couldn't help frowning, and looked at it, but saw three figures flying in the field, fists and feet, The fight was very lively, although Eagle Seven and Eagle Eight had the upper hand, but they could not help the tall man, and the tall and strong Tubo prince Cholun Buzan led several guards with their bare right arms were standing on the sidelines shouting and cheering for their own fighters, but the awkward Tibetan language was extremely unpleasant, and no one knew what he was shouting about.

Qulun Buzan, said to be the prince of Tubo, in fact, is not the son of Songtsen Gampo, but the son of his deceased brother - Zhenguan three years, the thirty-second Tibetan king, the father of Songtsen Gampo Langri Songtsen and his eldest son were poisoned to death, then the thirteen-year-old Songtsen Gampo was able to succeed to the throne, and commanded the army to quell the rebellion of the ministers at the age of young Chong, the son of his deceased brother is four years old, it was Songtsen Gampo who pulled it up, and regarded it as his own, his people in Tubo are known for their bravery, although they have not experienced a big battle, But at the age of eighteen, he became the general of Wei Ru's ten thousand households (Ru, a regional division in the Tubo military system, Wei Ru is equivalent to the meaning of the Central Garrison Military Region), he is arrogant, and his reputation in Tubo is really average.

Damn, this fight is weird! Li Zhen walked out of the mansion, but he didn't make a big noise, and he didn't even disturb everyone's enthusiasm for "watching the play", but after only glancing at the situation in the field, Li Zhen couldn't help but be suspicious - although the skills of Eagle Seven and Eagle Eight are not considered to be top masters, they are not given in vain, they have been fighting for so long a day, and they will not be able to take a prince of Tubo's guards, saying that they will go out, isn't it a big joke, if such a master in Tubo can only be a prince's guard, then the master is too worthless, Besides, no matter what the prince of Tubo says, he can be regarded as a distinguished guest, and how can he be reckless to the point of doing the stupid thing of "slapping the master in the face" for no reason, if it is said that there is no eccentricity, it would be hellish here.

The exchange between countries, the issue of face is a key, seeing that this farce will not be over for a while, Li Zhen is impatient, snorted coldly, and a huge evil aura suddenly rose, and immediately shocked the people who were originally crowded at the gate of the mansion to watch the excitement of the people in the Metropolitan Protectorate scattered and did not mention it, Li Zhen didn't care about the subordinates who were alert and scattered, strode into the field, and shouted: "Stop!" With his hand stretched out, his palms cut into the battle group like a knife, but after hearing a violent sound like a clash of gold and stone, the three people who were fighting were shocked and fell backwards again and again, but Li Zhen stood in place as if nothing happened.

"Your Highness, I'll wait ......" Ying Qi and Ying Bayi saw Li Zhen make a move, and then they realized that something was wrong, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Hmm." Li Zhen didn't say anything, but raised his hand to stop the statement of Ying Qiren, and looked at the Tibetan man who was shocked and blushed as if he was drunk, and said coldly: "Who is you?" ”

The Tibetan man obviously couldn't understand Chinese, and at this time he was being oppressed by Li Zhen's momentum and was out of breath, but he rolled his eyes vigorously, his face instantly turned from red to bruised, but he couldn't say a word, seeing that this person was about to be injured under the pressure of Li Zhen's momentum, but he saw a Tibetan man in his early thirties leading several subordinates to squeeze out of the crowd with sweat, and shouted in Chinese, which was not too fluent: "Your Highness, move slowly, Your Highness will be angry." ”

Well? Why did this guy come here too? Li Zhen swept his eyes, and found that the person who came was the deputy envoy of the Tibetan envoy this time, the third son of the Tubo Great Minister Lu Dongzan, the deputy foreign minister of Tubo, Lu Cizanpo, when he saw this person so anxious, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and once again had doubts about the identity of the young Tibetan who was struggling under the oppression of his own momentum, and vaguely seemed to guess something, but he couldn't confirm it, but he didn't press again, but restrained his coercion, and looked at Lu Cizanpo who was panting like a cow with a smile and said: " Why is the deputy envoy so alarmed? ”

Luci Zanpo rushed to the scene and found that the Tibetan man was already safe and sound, so he was greatly relieved, bowed to Li Zhen and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your mercy, this matter is not right for me, please Your Highness Haihan, and allow me to retreat first, and tomorrow will go to the door of His Highness to make amends." ”

Hehe, the person who can make Lu Ci Zanpo care so much is definitely not as simple as a guard, hey, come if you want, leave if you want, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world. Li Zhen's mind moved quickly, but he didn't bring it to his face, but laughed and said: "It's just a misunderstanding, what is there to forgive the crime of the Ministry of Reparation, it's rare that His Royal Highness the Prince and Deputy Envoy Lu are here, so how about you come into this palace and sit for a while?" ”

Lu Ci Zanpo as the deputy foreign minister, responsible for diplomatic affairs, his person is very gifted in language, learning Chinese for a short time, has been able to speak very neatly, in addition to the accent is a little weird, but also very fluent, as for listening to nature is no problem, there is no need to translate to be able to talk to the people of the Tang Dynasty, at this time to see Li Zhen Wanyan invited, but he did not immediately express his position, but with the corner of his eyes glanced at the young Tibetan Han who had just come back to breath, then bowed respectfully and said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's kind invitation, I can't wait for the honor." , then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Your Highness, please first. ”

"That's good, Your Royal Highness the Prince, Vice Lu, please." At this time, Li Zhen was even more sure of his original guess, but he didn't break it, just laughed, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of please, but he took the lead, leading the Tubo envoys into the Dadu Protectorate, and sat down in the second court, and his own subordinates served everyone a newly brewed fragrant tea.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Vice Minister Lu is invited." Li Zhen smiled and picked up the tea bowl, gestured to the two Tibetan envoys, took a small sip of the tea bowl, casually put the tea bowl on the few beside him, and said with a smile: "Both of them know that this king is a good martial artist, and the most admired person in his life is a person with strong martial arts. ”

"This ......" Lu Ci Zanpo was immediately dumbfounded, and opened his mouth and didn't know what to say - Tubo is a slave country, and human trafficking is not prohibited, and most of the guards around the general Tubo officials are just high-level slaves, of course, the guards who are princes are naturally not slaves, but they are not noble figures, at most they are just the children of a small nobleman, whether to give it away, in fact, it is all up to the master, in this regard, Li Zhen's request is not excessive, What's more, if these nearly 10,000 pieces of wealth are in Tibet, they are enough to buy 10,000 slaves.

Seeing that Lu Ci Zanpo's jaw-dropping appearance was extremely strange, the Tubo prince who was originally sitting was busy calling the interpreter to his side, and when he asked carefully, he immediately jumped up, and roared in Tibetan in his mouth, and Li Zhen wanted to laugh when he looked at him with his angry look, although he couldn't understand what he was shouting, but Li Zhen could guess with his toes that the guy was just trying his best to object, but Li Zhen didn't even look at Qulun Buzan, just looked at Lu Ci Zanpo with a smile and said: "Is Vice Minister Lu very embarrassed? Is it that the price offered by this king is low, and who makes this king appreciate that warrior very much, so that this king can add a hundred horses of silk? ”

"I ......, that ......" The sweat on Lu Cizanpo's head rolled down, and he grinded for a long time, and then said with a guilty face: "Please forgive your highness, my prince also loves this person very much, and he can't cut his love, didn't the sages of the Tang Dynasty say a famous saying - a gentleman does not take the favor of others, and His Royal Highness is also a gentleman, and he must be able to understand the hard work of His Royal Highness the prince of my family." ”

Ha, it's exposed, isn't it? Hey, it looks like your kid still hasn't learned Chinese at home! As soon as Li Zhen heard Lu Cizan's words crookedly, she suddenly laughed secretly, but her face was stiff, her face was calm, and she snorted coldly: "What? Don't you give this king face? ”

Li Zhen's words are extremely serious, it is when the Tang Dynasty is strong and Tubo is weak, at this time Tubo is at a critical moment of rectifying the military system and government affairs, and it cannot withstand the destruction of war at all, and Li Zhen has always been famous for his belligerent nature, if he is really angry, and the war with Tubo resumes, Songtsen Gampo's painstaking policy of repairing internal affairs and waiting for the opportunity will come to naught, and the Tubo nobles who have been severely hit in the military and political reform are bound to cause chaos, so that Tubo is in danger, Lu Ci Zanpo is here to have an important mission of reconciling with Li Zhen, how dare to offend Li Zhen to death - Tang and Tubo are now peaceful coexistence, however, this is not the case in Anxi, as early as the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate, Tubo sent troops several times on a small scale to attack the border of Anxi, and also hooked up with Khotan, and did not make trouble for Anxi, but because Anxi was not of full importance in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty at that time, he turned one eye open and closed one eye and pretended not to see it, but now it is different, Li Zhen first leveled the sand bandits, and then broke the Western Turks, Qiuzi two road army, the combat power of the Anxi army is not what it used to be, it can be regarded as a shotgun for a cannon, as far as Li Zhen's belligerent personality is concerned, it is inevitable that Tubo will not be allowed to invade the territory again, Songtsen Gampo is even worried that Li Zhen will blatantly launch a war under the pretext that Anxi has been invaded by Tubo, which will send a high-level envoy delegation to congratulate Li Zhen's eldest son on the full moon, try to ask Lu Cizanpo how dare to be more serious with Li Zhen, at this time seeing Li Zhen's words are not good, he was suddenly shocked with sweat, With a wry smile, he bowed his hand to Li Zhen and said, "Your Highness, please calm your anger, and allow the foreign minister to ask Kecheng?" As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhen pitifully, and it was not until Li Zhen nodded in agreement, that he gestured to an interpreter standing beside him, and asked the interpreter to convey Li Zhen's words to the young guard in Tibetan.

After listening to the interpreter's relay, the young guard showed a strange look on his face, frowned, and said in a low voice in Tibetan, the interpreter nodded hurriedly, hurriedly walked to Li Zhen, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, the Geerruoji guard said that he is a native of Tibet, and he is not used to the eating habits of the Tang Dynasty, and he does not dare to accept His Highness's love, so please forgive Your Highness." ”

"Oh, the eating habits are different, this is a natural thing, but it is also easy to solve, this king has chefs from all sides, it is also easy to find some chefs from the Tubo country, this matter does not have to be taken to heart, this king will cook, this king is thirsty for talent, what else do strong men ask to come together, as long as this king can do it, and he will agree to it." After listening to the interpreter's words, Li Zhen laughed disapprovingly, and continued to squeeze the other party with words.

If others say this, maybe no one believes it, but Li Zhen is different, as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty and the actual overlord of Anxi, he can say it, and he can naturally do it, this article is really undoubted, seeing that Li Zhen said it to this point, Lu Cizanpo couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up with a bitter face and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the foreign minister really has something unspeakable, this matter may refute His Highness's face, and forgive your sins." ”

Unspeakable? Haha, that's the case, hehe, playing this game with Lao Tzu, don't you get tired and panic? Seeing that everyone in the Tibetan envoys was embarrassed, Li Zhen was very refreshed in her heart, but she didn't bring it to her face, but frowned, and didn't speak, just looked at Lu Ci Zanpo with a displeased face, looking like she was waiting for Lu Ci Zanpo to explain.

"Your Highness, this ......" Lu Ci Zanpo has been forced into a corner, and there is no way to retreat, in desperation, after pricking his thick lips for a while, he muttered: "Your Highness forgives your sins, Geerruoji's guards are actually, in fact, they are ......, alas, don't hide it from Your Highness, he is really His Royal Highness Prince Buzan, I am the first to be rude, please forgive Your Highness." As soon as the words fell, Lu Cizan had fallen to his knees, his face full of shame.

Damn, it's really a knife catcher, hey, just such a carving insect skill also appeared in front of Lao Tzu, isn't it shabby? Let's see what drama you have to sing next! Li Zhen smiled secretly in her heart, but her face pretended to be surprised, and she stood up, her eyes glared at the boss, and her face was full of disbelief......
