Chapter 354 Donor, Please Stay
"The diplomatic relationship between the two countries is a major event in the world. Look at the sky and think twice." Mu Chi, the Tubo ambassador, did not dare to use his tongue again, and hurriedly kowtowed.
This execution not only lost face, but also offended Emperor Tang. If the Tang army used this as an excuse to start another war, then their envoys would be to blame for death.
At the same time, Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi also spoke admonitions, after all, it was too hasty to start the war lightly.
"Sanlang, my Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and it is unknown to talk about wars during the Shangyuan Festival." Yang Taizhen persuaded in a gentle voice.
At this time, Mu Chi had also guessed who Kun Dao was in front of him, and he kowtowed, while agreeing: "The noble concubine is wise, I, Tubo, would like to have a good relationship with Tang Dynasty forever."
In fact, what Li Longji said just now was just in a hurry. It is imperative for the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo, but it will not be this year. .
Seeing that everyone passed the steps for him to go down, he didn't insist anymore, and said lightly: "Get out of Chang'an, go back and tell Chi De Zuzan, I didn't see his respect."
"Nanzhao, a small country, sends missions every year to pay tribute to the rare and exotic beasts of the Tang Dynasty. What about Tubo, a 'big country in the world'?"
"The foreign minister understands." Mu Chiru secretly breathed a sigh of relief after being pardoned.
At least things have taken a turn for the better, and the next step is nothing more than spending money to avoid disasters, staying low and doing small things, so that the nobles from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty, as well as that concubine Yang Gui, can feel their regret and sincerity...
In this way, the shooting competition was over, and the Tubo delegation retreated in embarrassment. Recently, they did not dare to appear in Chang'an City. The spectators left the arena contentedly, planning to find a wine shop, and invite three or four friends to celebrate the festival together.
"Ai Qing, I'm a bit tired, let's forget about it today." Li Longji squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "Let's save the reward for tomorrow night's banquet."
After all, he is still old, but after this battle, the emperor also let everyone understand that the fierceness in his bones is inherent, and will not be quenched by fine wine, nor will it be corroded by beauty for a while.
In the sound of long live, Yang Taizhen helped Li Longji go away, and the guards followed closely.
Before he left, Gao Lishi took out a hollow sachet from his bosom with a smile, and handed it to Miss Qianrui, "It's very rare for a skilled artisan to enter this morning, and I'll give it to my wife."
The gilt silver sachet is spherical in shape and is fitted with a buckle. There are two layers of machine rings inside. No matter how the outer wall rotates, the machine ring and the gold bowl can maintain balance, so that the spices inside will not be spilled.
Not talking about the material, just talking about the craftsmanship, Qian Rui didn't dare to accept it at will, until Lu Li said, "Thank you, Gao Weng?"
"It's just a small item, don't worry about it, lady, just accept it." Gao Lishi smiled, "The old slave has to accompany the saint back to the palace, and I will meet you two at the banquet tomorrow, and I will not return when I am not drunk."
"Nunu wish Gao Weng Shangyuan good health." Qianrui was naturally happy after getting such a wonderful thing, and saluted Gao Lishi's back.
Next, there were Long Wuwei soldiers who fought side by side again. Chen Xuanli raised his big hand and patted Lu Li's shoulder hard with a "slap", and said boldly: "Brother, you have contributed a lot to defeat Tubo today, you are strong enough! If you run into trouble on the street later, call me Long Wuwei directly, it is your duty!"
Lu Li smiled and nodded. Although he couldn't stay here for long, it's good to make friends. He joked, "If that's the case, then you're welcome. General Chen, don't deny it."
"Ha ha."
Hearing this, Chen Xuanli let out a long laugh, took out a waist card and handed it over, "Use this as evidence."
This is his carry-on, although it cannot be said that seeing things is like seeing people, but it can indeed play a role.
After a while, the remaining Longwuwei generals also surrounded him and asked Lu Li to play together.
You know, military commanders have a straight mind, and when everyone fights side by side, cooperates with each other, and wins a big victory over the enemy, a sense of closeness will naturally arise in their hearts, especially in the military camp, where the strong are always respected.
To this, Lu Li fully agreed, saying that after the Lantern Festival, he would find a time to go to the Longwu army's garrison and perform the bow together.
All the soldiers clasped their fists in salute.
At this time, Yang Taizhen, who was about to leave the palace, looked back at Lu Li, and saw that he was chatting and laughing with the general of the Longwu Army. He was very close, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and summoned a maid, whispered a few words .
"Why, my lady wants to reward Lu Qing on my behalf?" Li Longji's face remained normal.
"Saburo is Saburo, it's so true, how can we confuse it?" Yang Yuhuan said with a grievance on his face, "Sanlang said before that he was fighting for his wife, but now that he has won, I am not allowed to reward the heroes?"
"Yes, yes, I should be rewarded." Li Longji did not doubt him, but asked in his ear, "How will the lady reward me?"
"..."
The ladies in the palace next to her blushed with shame, bowed their heads and listened quietly.
Gradually, all the guards of the Imperial Army had left, and only the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion greeted Lu Li: "Miss Lu, I'm really sorry, my prince's leg is seriously injured, and the doctor is prescribing medicine for him..."
"It's okay, just say hello to King Yong for me. It's an emergency today, and I haven't talked to him. Tomorrow, the sage will have a banquet with all the ministers and have a few more drinks."
"sure."
The three of them walked all the way to the street, and the steward of Yongwang Mansion crossed his hands to watch Lu Li and Miss Qianrui leave.
At this moment, a woman's voice came from beside her, shouting, "Please stay, Siqing Lu."
Looking back, it was the female officer who followed Yang Yuhuan earlier.
"What advice does the sage have?" Lu Li asked in confusion, crossing his hands.
"Not a saint." The female officer said with a smile: "This time the battle against Tubo is for my wife, so she must reward the heroes."
What is Mrs. Yang's intention?
Don't blame Lu Li for thinking too much, it's because this woman is too extraordinary.
At the same time, the female officer presented a golden hairpin studded with precious stones in both hands, and watched Lu Li quietly, "The lady gave this hairpin to Si Qing's female companion."
Miss Qianrui didn't think much about it, she saluted and thanked her.
And Lu Li couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. At first he thought he was too handsome and Yang Yuhuan took a fancy to him... well, since it was given to Miss Qianrui, there is nothing to worry about.
"Thank you, my lady."
"The words have been brought, take your leave." The female officer saluted with crossed hands, and then walked away quickly.
Not long after, Lu Li and Miss Qianrui also set out on the road again.
"In just two hours, I have enjoyed a lot of honor by my lord's side." She sometimes played with the sachet, and sometimes played with the golden hairpin. Feeling a bit shy, she said softly: "This time I lost the bet, what does your lord want?"
This... Look at this look, it means something.
Just as Lu Li was about to make a casual request, he saw a smear of white behind him.
"Benefactor, please stay."
The tone is strange.
At the same time, he placed a hand on Lu Li's shoulder.
