Two Tubo spies and three Tugu spies knelt in front of the pavilion and lined up.

There were more and more onlookers, and the five men stood behind the prisoner with their swords unsheathed, Liu Asi stared at the screen in the pavilion, and behind the screen, the two figures were motionless.

Under the crowd watching, the five scarred prisoners trembled, but Liu Asi did not give the order to be beheaded, and his cold eyes were still staring at the screen.

Behind the screen, Non Zhongcong and Princess Honghua stood together for the first time, their eyes were still full of hatred, but they were very tacitly silent and silent.

After a long time, Zhong Cong said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, are you going out to save your spies?" You are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, if you come forward and speak, you will definitely be able to save it. ”

Princess Honghua sneered: "Why don't you go out?" Didn't Tubo rely on the strength of his soldiers and swords, and clamor for war with the Tang Dynasty at every turn? If you come forward, those spies must not dare to kill Li Qinzai, right? ”

On Zhongcong's face sank, and he snorted angrily.

What are you kidding, that young envoy of the Tang Kingdom is simply a madman, he is so crazy that he even dares to destroy the mission, and he will not kill the spy because he came forward to intercede?

Listening to the movement outside the pavilion, Zhong Cong said coldly: "Li Qinzai is killing chickens and monkeys, and it is also for the sake of prestige, today he killed the spy in front of us, which has further frustrated the spirit of the envoys of your and my two countries, and if you negotiate with him in the future, the momentum will be completely crushed by him." ”

Princess Honghua snorted and said, "Yes, you and I can't bargain, but Datang has already intervened in this war, and he must reap the benefits before he stops." ”

On Zhongcong smiled at her.

The words I said to her yesterday have obviously had an effect, Her Royal Highness the princess has become wary of Tang Guo, and she has realized the dangerous situation of Tuyuhun.

On Zhongcong looked at her squarely and said slowly: "Those few spies don't matter, they will die, but we can't sit still in the next negotiations." ”

Princess Honghua glanced at him coldly: "Do you have a way?" ”

"Yes, in the name of the Tubo Prime Minister and the Tuyuhun Khan, he sent people to Chang'an urgently, counted the crimes committed by Li Qinzai in Liangzhou City, and spread rumors in Chang'an City, causing the government and the opposition to criticize everywhere, even if the Tang Emperor did not want to replace the envoys, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the criticism of his subjects."

"Li Qinzai must be replaced, if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty changes to a new envoy who is not so strong and obedient to Liangzhou, you and I will not have to bear so much pressure, and both countries will benefit from it." On Zhong Cong said calmly.

Princess Honghua snorted coldly: "This palace and you Tubo are enemies who don't share the sky, why should I listen to you?" ”

On Zhongcong smiled and said: "The two countries are fighting in front for the sake of interests. You and I conspired to replace the Tang envoy, also for the sake of interests, Your Highness, hatred is not a reason, interests are eternal. ”

"Li Qinzai's people are clever and ruthless, if you continue to be the Tang envoy, you Tuyuhun will inevitably be divided between the Tang State and Tubo, there is no doubt about it, if you change the Tang envoy, Tuyuhun may still have a chance to live."

Princess Honghua sneered: "If the Tang Dynasty has a new envoy, you Tubo will withdraw from the army?" ”

On Zhongcong smiled and said: "Don't dare to hide it from Your Highness, Tubo will definitely not withdraw the army, but you and I can make a deal privately on behalf of our respective countries, as long as the Tang State has a new envoy, I am willing to show my feelings, please stop the army immediately, as for how much land Tuyuhun Khan can leave behind, we can talk." ”

Princess Honghua stared at his eyes and said slowly: "I want you Tubo to withdraw from the entire territory of Tuyuhun and return a complete Tuyuhun to the Khan." ”

On Zhongcong sighed and said, "Your Highness, you are a little more mature and see the reality clearly." ”

Princess Honghua was stunned, biting her lower lip and not squeaking again.

Outside the pavilion, Liu Asi, who had been waiting for a long time, finally shouted: "When the time comes, there will be five criminals, verify the correct body, and behead!" ”

With an exclamation from the crowd of onlookers, the crowd then receded like a tide.

The five Li family subordinates, who temporarily acted as executioners, swung their horizontal knives violently, and the five heads rose to the sky, and the five bodies fell to the ground limply, still twitching incessantly, and red blood flowed all over the ground.

Behind the screen, the cold hairs of Tan Zhongcong and Princess Honghua stood on end, and they looked at each other in pairs, and each other's eyes were full of fear.

Knowing that Li Qinzai was trying to intimidate and establish authority, he had obviously seen through Li Qinzai's intentions, but Zhong Cong and Princess Honghua still felt frightened, whether they admitted it or not, the two of them had already developed a sense of awe for the young Tang envoy, and their momentum had unconsciously weakened a little.

Outside the pavilion, Liu Asi once again took a deep look at the two figures behind the screen, snorted coldly, and ordered the subordinates to pack up the prisoner's head and body, and leave silently.

In the open space outside the pavilion, the blood in one place had turned reddish-brown, seeping deep into the sand and soil, and the bloody smell around it lasted for a long time, and the crowd of onlookers covered their noses and walked around in fear.

On Zhongcong and Princess Honghua did not show up from beginning to end, as if they didn't know that someone had just executed the prisoner outside the pavilion.

But Li Qinzai's strong actions lasted for a long time like the bloody atmosphere outside the pavilion, leaving a deep shadow on Non Zhongcong and Princess Honghua.

Standing behind the screen for a long time, Princess Honghua suddenly said: "According to what you said, tonight the palace will impeach Li Qinzai for all kinds of crimes and evil deeds to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and send a fast horse to Chang'an, and I will also write a letter to the clan relatives, asking them to help advise the son of heaven and change the new envoy to Liangzhou." ”

On Zhongcong smiled and said: "This is very good, Your Highness may wish to cooperate with me for a while, and leave the matters on the battlefield to the battlefield to solve." ”

Princess Honghua gave him a disgusted look, turned around and walked away without saying hello.

Liangzhou Thorn History.

Li Qinzai is really tired these days, although he hasn't done any physical work, but it hurts his body and mind to use his brain all the time.

In winter, Liangzhou City became colder and colder, Li Qinzai hid in the side hall, and there were a few pots of charcoal fire in the house, but he still felt that the wind was breathable on all sides, so he wrapped a Persian blanket around his body, and finally warmed up.

"This damn weather, there is still a lack of heart and eyes to fight desperately, causing me to come all the way to nest in this hellish place......" Li Qinzai muttered.

I don't know how the grain preparations in Huainan in the south of the Yangtze River are going, counting the days, he has been in Liangzhou for more than a month.

This month has been very fulfilling, I don't know what others think, anyway, Li Qinzai grabbed this and killed that, and had a lot of fun.

But no matter how fun it is, it is not as good as the mother-in-law and the child to warm the kang head, Li Qinzai just wants to end all this quickly and return to Chang'an to continue to recuperate.

After a few knocks on the door, Li Qinzai's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and Zi Nu walked in in a brocade robe with a strong Western style, the bell on his ankle still tinkling.

"Master, the slave maid roasted a leg of lamb for you, and also prepared a pot of grapes from the Western Regions, in such a cold weather, the master drank a little and warmed up." Zinu said as he placed a tray on the low table beside Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai looked at her, and then at the tray, on the delicate porcelain plate, the leg of mutton was steaming, and a rich fragrance was fragrant.
