Seeing Li Xiang stand up, Lu Dongzan took half a step back for no reason, but quickly retracted his leg. If he showed any fear, he would never be able to stand up straight in front of this person in his life.
Li Xiang always gives people a sense of oppression. Even if this person is the Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, he can feel Li Xiang's oppression, especially when that fatal look sweeps over, you always feel that these eyes can see through your heart.
"The Prime Minister is right. What's wrong with you guys? Hurry up and make room for the Prime Minister. How can we eat and drink by ourselves while the Prime Minister is watching us?"
What surprised Lu Dongzan was that Li Xiang actually scolded his men and even made room for Lu Dongzan.
"Prime Minister, please."
Li Xiang wiped his hands and made a gesture of invitation. Lu Dongzan, on the other hand, didn't dare to go over. This guy had never been kind to him before, so how could he do this? Was there a trap waiting for him somewhere?
"We have completed the formalities. If the Prime Minister doesn't come, this is no longer our business as Han people. Brothers, continue eating."
When Lu Dongzan was about to lift his foot, he swore that Li Xiang definitely saw his action. As a result, Li Xiang said this immediately and did not give Lu Dongzan any room for rebuttal. Li Xiang returned to his seat and started eating. The space that Lu Dongzan had just given up was now occupied by someone else.
Are you kidding me?
Lu Dongzan was having a psychological struggle in his heart, so he hesitated for a moment. Just after this hesitation, Li Xiang had already taken back what he had just said, which clearly showed that he was not sincere.
What's more, Lu Dongzan remembered clearly that Li Xiang waited for him for a while after he finished speaking. Li Xiang must have observed his movements. When he was about to lift his leg, this guy immediately crushed him. He was really calculating.
Lu Dongzan didn't want to stay here any longer. If he continued to quarrel with Li Xiang, he would be the one to be embarrassed. He used to be a smart man, but for some reason he wanted to get angry when he saw Li Xiang, and whenever he got angry he would lose his mind.
You are really naive to play with me...
Looking at Lu Dongzan's leaving back, Li Xiang snorted coldly, "You make me uncomfortable for a moment, I will make you uncomfortable for the rest of your life."
"Master Prime Minister, our girl has already fallen asleep."
Lu Dongzan was rejected by Li Xiang and turned to Changsun Pingting. After all, the emperor had already granted the marriage, so they were almost husband and wife, and only the last procedure was left. But every time Lu Dongzan came, the wet nurse said that the girl was already asleep.
Lu Dongzan looked up at the sun. It was only noon, how could he fall asleep? However, this person was Changsun Pingting's wet nurse, the most important person in the dowry, so Lu Dongzan smiled and nodded, and did not get angry on the spot. At this moment, after arriving in Tubo, people like you will die ten times without knowing how you died.
"Miss, this isn't a solution! You can't always avoid him, can you?"
The wet nurse also sighed helplessly. Although the emperor had already granted the marriage, Changsun Pingting just didn't like Lu Dongzan, especially the smell of an animal on his body, which made Changsun Pingting want to vomit.
"Let's take it one step at a time. If it really comes to the end, I'd rather keep my innocence."
Hearing what Changsun Pingting said, the people around were frightened. If something happened to the young lady, they would have no chance of survival. Whether they were in Tubo or returned to Chang'an, they would probably have no way to survive.
"Of course I have to keep my innocence, and I have to keep it alive."
When the group was about to persuade Changsun Pingting, Li Xiang came over with a food box, and everyone present quickly saluted Li Xiang.
"It's time to eat. I'm going to tell my aunt something secret. If you hear it, I can't guarantee that your heads will still be around your necks. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you might find yourself in Fengdu City."
Li Xiang had no good feelings towards the people under Changsun Pingting. He had already asked his men to launch an investigation. Among these people, two were actually bribed by Lu Dongzan. So when facing other people, Li Xiang had no good face. If he had not obtained Changsun Pingting's consent, Li Xiang would have dealt with those two traitors long ago.
Of course, from the perspective of these servants, Changsun Pingting will be Lu Dongzan's wife in the future. After arriving in Tubo, they must curry favor with Lu Dongzan. Now Lu Dongzan orders them to do things. If they don't do it, will they have a good life after arriving in Tubo?
"You and I have something important to tell each other, why scare them?"
After Changsun Pingting waited for the servants to leave, she felt a little angry with Li Xiang. These people followed her to Tubo as dowry, and they were very pitiful.
"Don't worry, cousin. I'll bring you back the same way I brought you there. What I said that day still stands."
Li Xiang said some crazy words in front of Changsun Pingting that day, but now he has to accompany Changsun Pingting to Tubo. This is clearly a slap in the face. However, Li Xiang did not argue about this. After all, there are some things that he is powerless to do, but some things can be changed.
"Please don't say such things. You are now an imperial envoy of the court. You represent the face of the court at all times. How can you speak carelessly? If you don't handle it well, it may lead to war between the two countries. Who knows how many people will be involved."
Changsun Pingting patted Li Xiang's head. This nephew was doing this for his own good, but the problem was that the general trend could not be defied. The emperor's edict was in the box next to him. Could you ignore the emperor's edict?
"Cousin, just believe me. Although the last time I failed to bring you back, if I can't bring you back, I will stay in Tubo with you."
Li Xiang knew that his credibility had somewhat collapsed. After all, what he said last time did not come true.
"You're getting more and more out of line. Why are you staying with me in Tubo? I will definitely accompany you back to Chang'an."
There were two meanings in Changsun Pingting's words. It would be better if someone alive could come back with him. If someone alive couldn't come back, then she hoped Li Xiang could bring back the ashes...
Li Xiang knew that it was useless to explain more now. He had already collected a lot of information about the situation in Tubo. As long as he made good use of it, it would not be difficult to bring back Changsun Pingting. Maybe he could even save Lu Dongzan's life.
