On the left and right, there were armored soldiers lined up with long halberds and broadswords, which were majestic and formidable. However, Princess Wencheng walked straight forward without squinting, with a proud and confident smile on her face all the time. The Tibetan soldiers could not help but be secretly surprised, and almost died. Forgetting the solemn etiquette in the military, they all looked sideways, and then all of them looked astonished, thinking that they were descended from heaven.
After walking more than a hundred steps into the military camp, Li Xueyan became calm and indifferent. She regarded herself as a person about to go to the execution ground. If she stretched her neck, she would shrink her neck with a knife, and she would be fearless. In front of her, just one armored soldier could kill her, and no matter how many 300,000 people there were, she wouldn't be able to kill her. Therefore, she simply didn't take them seriously, and only had one goal left in her mind - to do it. Get the antidote from the Garqin Mausoleum and Qizong Nongzan!
Before entering the large tent dedicated to the Garqin Mausoleum, Li Xueyan still murmured in his heart, wondering how to deal with the opening remarks. But after stepping into the tent, she was a little surprised - she originally thought that the tent would be heavily guarded by civil and military personnel. Who would have thought that there was only one person in the tent as big as a palace
The man was sitting on a large chair several steps higher, with his left elbow resting on his left knee, and his left thumb and index finger forming a figure of eight to support his chin. He sat in a rather lazy posture and looked at it with amusing eyes. She seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Li Xueyan stood there blankly, feeling awkward. Looking around, it was true that he no longer saw another person, only the man in the seat, looking at her with disdain and frivolity, neither speaking nor moving.
Princess Wencheng lost her opinion for a moment, and all the speeches and opening remarks she had prepared for a long time were useless. She never expected that she would face such a silent opponent.
"This person must be Gar Qin Ling! ... Apart from him, who else would be so arrogant and indifferent? Looking at this situation, he has already prepared how to deal with me. He is the only one in the tent at the moment, and presumably Na Zanpu is also I don’t know that the news about my arrival in the camp is bad! Since it was a poisoning and assassination planned by Gar Qinling, how could he give me the antidote?”
Li Xueyan's heart became a little confused for a moment, and he quickly figured out how to deal with the situation in front of him.
"Why is Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who came from afar, silent and frowning?" Gal Qinling finally spoke, speaking in a slow and polite manner, pretending to be polite. Mixed with piercing arrogance and sarcasm, he said, "Don't worry, the two armies are fighting, and the envoy will not be killed. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Li Xueyan was a little angry at his arrogance and disdain. Before she came, she had already determined that an immature character like herself would definitely not be a match for the sophisticated Gal Qinling. If you want to compete with him who insists on talking alone, there will be no other outcome except defeat.
Therefore, instead of fighting with one's wits and debating talents, it is better to go straight to the point and cut through the mess quickly!
"Who are you, dare to talk to me like this?" Princess Wencheng calmed down and said loudly, "I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and the military envoy of the Guanxi Army. I only talk to you Zanpu."
"Unfortunately, Zampu is not here. If you want to see him, you can go to Luosucheng." Gal Qinling smiled more and more playfully, just like a cat playing with a caught little mouse. .
"Then I will take my leave." Princess Wencheng said, turned and left.
"Stop." Gal Qinling stood up and walked to Li Xueyan to stop her.
"What's the matter?" Li Xueyan said, looking up at the man in front of her who was half a head taller than him and twice her size.
"Why don't you ask me, who am I?" Gal Qinling cut his hands behind his back, looking down at her like he was playing with a child, and asked with a smile.
"Aren't you just Gar Qin Ling? I'm not interested in you. Whether you ask or not, it's just a matter of course." Princess Wencheng smiled coldly and said.
"You... have something important to do with us, Zampu? If it's important, I can convey it to you." Gal Qinling was not angry, but asked with a smile.
Li Xueyan swore that she had never seen Biggar Qinling's smile, which was more worthy of the words "a smiling face hides a knife".
"I have brought you a gift from Zanpu. You must present it to him face to face." After saying that, Princess Wencheng took out the small brocade box that Hou Junji gave to him.
"Then let me hand it over to you!" Before Gal Qinling finished speaking, he quickly snatched the box from Li Xueyan's hand.
Li Xueyan was slightly surprised, but she remained calm and just pursed her lips and sneered.
As expected, Gal Qinling opened the box in front of Li Xueyan.
Li Xueyan was looking forward to seeing his surprised and even horrified expression that suddenly changed color.
Moreover, like a vain woman who saw a rare gem, Galqin Mausoleum suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good stuff! Zanpu will definitely like it!"
"You!..." Li Xueyan was caught off guard.
"Well, whose ears are these?" Gal Qinling closed the lid, still smiling.
"You have the nerve to question me?" Li Xueyan sneered disdainfully, "Excuse me, besides you Tubo people, who else would put such a big copper ring around their ears, like a bit in the mouth and nose of a sacrificial animal?"
"Haha, interesting!" Gal Qinling laughed dumbly, put his hands behind his back and put the box behind his back, and said with a smile, "Just tell me, whose ears are these?"
"Isn't it the spy you sent to the Tang camp, the ears of General Dege Danbawangjie, the great general of Weiru?" Li Xueyan said, "You are pretending to be mysterious and asking questions knowingly."
"Eh! That's weird!" Gal Qinling said in surprise, "I was riding horses and shooting arrows with General Wei Rudege early in the morning. When did he have time to fall in love with your Tang camp?"
"Nonsense!" Li Xueyan was a little angry, "You despicably sent assassins and agents to the Tang camp to plot to poison our army's commander-in-chief, Qin Mubai, Marshal Qin, but we caught him and revealed himself, all the stolen goods were stolen, and you are still quibbling! "
"Elaborate work? Poisoning? Everyone gets the stolen goods?" Gal Qinling was surprised at first, then laughed loudly, shook his head and refused to argue, and said loudly, "Come here, call General Wei Rudege Come!”
After a while, a Tubo general stepped into the tent. He is about forty years old, tall as a horse, bearded, and as strong as a bear bear. He looks like a savage who can kill people and drink blood.
"You little Han girl, what do you have to do with me?" General Wei Ru of Tibet shouted like thunder!
"Your Highness, don't be afraid. This is General Dege from Luocheweiru in the capital of Tubo." Gal Qinling said with a smile, "You have to take a closer look. Is he missing half of his ear?"
At this time, Li Xueyan calmed down and said calmly: "Who is true and who is false? There is always one person who is lying. Whether the person in front of me is really Dege Dambawangjie is not important to me. You There is no need to prevaricate here. What I just want to tell you is that since you claim to be a hero and vow to march on Lanzhou and point your sword at the Central Plains, please defeat Qin Mubai and defeat the Guanxi Army in an upright manner to fulfill your ideals and long-cherished wishes. , used some unsightly tricks to poison and murder the commander-in-chief of our army during the communication between the two armies. You still behaved so openly in front of me. It is really hypocritical and disgusting! How could you be so despicable and shameless in the world! A wretched man? But a man like you is a Tubo marshal who is worth more than ten thousand people! He is indeed a barbaric tribe that drinks blood and hair, how different it is from a beast!"
If Li Xueyan had tried to stay calm before, but now when he said these words, he was really angry because of his true feelings. After this barrage of rhetoric, even she was a little surprised. When did she learn these mean and vicious rhetoric, and when did she learn to curse people
This is definitely the first time in my life!
Gal Qinling was neither angry nor surprised, and kept looking at Li Xueyan with a deadly calm expression. When he paused for a moment, blushing and panting, he said lightly: "You... are you done scolding?"
"Not yet!" At this time, Li Xueyan didn't care about the lady form or the honor of the princess, and simply said quickly, "There is a big box outside the tent, and there are eleven heads in it. They must be all of yours." I know it all. Gar Qinling, no matter how hard you deny it, you know what you did!"
"What did I do?" Gal Qinling raised his eyebrows and spread his hands with a wry smile, "After talking for a long time, what do you want to do?"
"Hand over the antidote!" Li Xueyan was a little anxious.
"What if I don't hand over?" Gal Qinling said with a smile.
"Then we will kill Derge Damba Wangjie! And declare to the world how despicable and shameless you are at Galqin Ling!" Li Xueyan was already furious and spoke indiscriminately.
What made her angry was not entirely because she was anxious about Qin Mubai's condition, or because she hated Gar Qinling's despicable methods, but because at the moment, Gar Qinling's attitude was simply cynical and he didn't take her seriously at all. inside.
"Then please do as you please!" Gar Qinling shook his head and smiled, and said, "I'll just say it once, I neither poisoned nor sent assassins to do it carefully. There is no use for me to deal with Qin Mubai's plan to clean up the Guanxi Army. These methods are not my style! As for the antidote you want, there is no way to talk about it!"
"Gar Qin Ling, you are too shameless!" Li Xueyan was really anxious now. If he couldn't get the antidote, would Qin Mubai be in danger
"You can scold me however you want. Even if you announce it to the world and let everyone in the world scold you, I, Gar Qinling, will still only have the same sentence. I just said it, so I won't repeat it." After that, Gar Qinling Qin Ling's mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced at Li Xueyan with indifference and disdain. He walked towards the couch and raised his hand to the sky, "See you off!"
"Garqin Ling, you!..."
Li Xueyan was anxious and annoyed, and almost wanted to cry. Two sergeants came forward to take her out of the tent. She really wanted to pull out the sergeant's sword and go forward and cut down the Garqin Ling to satisfy her hatred!
...For the first time in his life, Li Xueyan felt so desperate and helpless!
"Mu Bai, forgive me! I am too incompetent!... Why do you want a waste like me to live in this world?!..." When he walked out of the tent, Li Xueyan looked up at the sky, his face as white as paper, in front of his eyes. Everything is dark.
In the big tent.
Gal Qinling sat on the couch, opened the small brocade box, picked up one of the ears with the copper ring and looked at it carefully. He called the bear-like man to him and asked, "Look carefully. Look, are these the ears of your brother Dampa Wangjie?”
"It's his, that's right." Xiong Yannan roared with an angry look on his face, "To the Han people, my brother and I have similar names. My name is Danba Urji, and his name is Danba Wangjie. It’s the same no matter how fast you recite it, only we ourselves can hear it clearly.”
"No, they did it on purpose." Gal Qinling put his ear into the brocade box and sneered, "Your brother is the captain of Zanpu's guard, and you are General Wei Ru. There is no way to confuse this. But just now That Princess Wencheng said, 'General Weiru Dege Danbawangjie', this was a slip of the tongue with sinister intentions."
"What do you mean?" Danba Urji asked in confusion.
"Think about it, you are a general under my command, and Damba Wangjie is Zampu's personal guard captain. According to them, it is Damba Wangjie who is doing fine work and was captured, and then lied that he was a guard. General Ru, what does this mean?" Gar Qinling said.
Danba Wuerji was confused for a while, then suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Wow, I know! They are using Danba Wangjie to sow discord between Zampu and the marshal! - Obviously they are. Zamp sent a spy, but he came to the marshal to ask for the antidote in exchange for prisoners. What a sinister intention!"
"You've finally figured it out, but shouldn't you keep your voice down?" Gal Qinling smiled coldly and said, "How could such a trivial trick be hidden from me? Not only did I not admit it, not even Zanpu had the chance to admit it. ! Sacrificing one Danba Wangjie is a small thing, but if there is any estrangement and suspicion between me and Zampu, that would be a big deal!”
"Marshal is wise!" Danba Geerji's eyes turned cold and his face tightened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Danba Wangjie is my biological brother, for the sake of the overall situation, it is inevitable to sacrifice him! Moreover, Danba Wangjie is my biological brother. Wangjie has always been shrewd and decisive. He will definitely be able to see through the sinister intentions of the Han people. Even if he died unjustly in the Tang camp, he would not blame Zanpu and the marshal! "
"Hey!..." Gal Qinling shook his head and sighed, stood up and patted Danbagelji on the shoulder, "It's just a pity that the Dege family has lost a hero since then; our Tubo Empire has lost one of its members. A loyal and brave general!”
"Marshal, why don't we chase Princess Wencheng back now! Or just ambush her on the way to avoid future troubles!" Danba Wuerji roared with nowhere to vent his resentment.
"No." Gal Qinling said firmly, "If you do this, Zanpu will know about it sooner or later. If the thin layer of window paper is torn, it is inevitable that Zanpu's face will be dull and extremely embarrassed. How can we, as ministers, be so submissive to your Majesty? Such a knot is extremely difficult to untie. Maybe in the future, there will be a gap between Zanpu and me, and the Han people's plot will succeed. , Why should we feel guilty if we are not thieves? Since we have not poisoned anyone, there is no need to kill anyone anymore, let her go!"
"The marshal is still thinking carefully." Danbagerji sighed heavily and said, "Letting that stinky girl go back will stop the rumors and make the Han people's conspiracy self-defeating; if you attack her, you will be defeated. Tsk, tsk! Bah! The Han people are so cunning and despicable!”
"The Han people have a wonderful saying: If you don't wear plum blossoms in the melon field, you won't be able to dress your head. Such despicable tricks are of no use to me, Gar Qin Ling." Gar Qin Ling grinned, his smile was extremely conceited, even furious.
Danbagorji also laughed together, laughed a few times, and suddenly did not dare to laugh again. Because he noticed that Gar Qinling suddenly had a serious look on his face.
"Marshal... what's wrong?"
"What about the strategy itself? I saw through it at a glance and had no worries at all. But to put it this way - is Qin Mubai really poisoned?" Gal Qinling looked at Danbagelji intently and said.
"How can it be false?" Danbagelji rolled his eyes and said, "How can that girl, a majestic princess, come to the marshal with a human head and ears to make such a big joke?"
"According to common sense, this is correct. But why do I feel that the Han people are drunkards who are not interested in drinking, and there is some deception in it?" Gar Qinling's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and he said thoughtfully.
"Is there still fraud?" Danbagerji rolled his eyes repeatedly, feeling that his eyes were completely black.
"Could it be that... asking for the antidote is a lie, and sowing discord is a lie - tell me Qin Mubai was poisoned and fell down. This is their real intention!" Gar Qinling grinned, and his signature smile appeared on his face. With an extremely arrogant sneer, he murmured to himself, "Is that so, Qin Mubai?... You are so cruel! Even Princess Wencheng must have been used by you, right? It's pity that she has a secret love for you, He acted so realistically and urgently in front of me, and he almost cried and knelt down to beg me, or even drew a knife to attack me. Tsk, tsk, it's hard to tell the truth from the truth... What a clever plan, what a good plot. What a clever trick! Okay, that’s great! This game finally has some subtlety!”
"Hey, Marshal, are you talking to me? Why can't I understand a word?"
"… go out!"
