Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"You!"

"I really don't know what to say about you."

"You and I, the monarch and my subjects, why do you need to say these out-of-the-ordinary words?"

As he spoke, Li Qiu wanted to drink all the wine in his glass.

But at this moment, the eunuch in the palace who had been sticking to his side stopped Li Qiu with a sneer.

Seeing him like this, Li Qiu and Qu Hetai naturally understood what he meant.

At this time, Li Qiu sighed helplessly.

"Deng Xiang, when Mr. Qu is following me."

"I'm still Datang's right servant, a general."

"If they wanted to harm me, I'm afraid they would have lost count of how many times."

"Why is he now a prince, but he is restricted everywhere and caught up with the cage more and more?"

At this time, before the embarrassing reassurance from the chief eunuch, Qu Hetai laughed out loud.

Drink the wine in the glass directly.

At the same time, he poured the wine from Li Qiu's cup into his own and drank it together.

"Your Highness, you, don't make things difficult for Director Deng."

"Your Highness, you are the most important person in the Great Tang. Lord Deng and Your Majesty are also thinking about your safety."

"Be careful and make no big mistakes, and make no big mistakes."

Listening to Qu Hetai's words, Deng Xiang, the chief eunuch, also smiled gratefully.

Afterwards, under his inspection, there was nothing wrong with the jug of wine and the two jars of wine in this room.

After that, Li Qiu also relaxed for a rare time.

Tong Qu and Tai Chang chatted for a long time, and they drank a lot of wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Qu Hetai suddenly said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you remember that I talked about it with Your Highness before."

"I have some Dongyi blood."

"The dog meat soup made by the minister is simply a must."

"The minister's wives and daughters also love drinking the most."

"Your Highness has the reputation of the Happy King in the early years, and his research on delicious food is unparalleled."

"Does Your Highness want to taste the craftsmanship of the minister today, so as to relieve the hangover?"

After listening to Qu Hetai's words, Li Qiu also nodded with interest.

In the past few years, he has developed many cuisines in Furong Garden.

There is really no dog meat, dog meat soup and the like.

Now hearing what Qu Hetai said, Li Qiu really became interested, not to mention.

Soon, Qu Hetai was helped by his servants.

Killed a big dog.

A large pot of white, fragrant dog meat soup was brewed.

At this time, Qu Hetai brought out the dog meat soup with rich aroma.

His three daughters saw their usual favorite drink when they saw it.

But they don't have their share.

So he started crying regardless of the occasion.

She was slapped severely by their mother twice, so she cried louder.

Just when Qu Hetai was about to get angry and the child was about to be dragged away and beaten violently.

Li Qiu waved his hand.

Say why it is difficult to be someone else's child.

Which child is not greedy when they see delicious food?

Moreover, such a big pot of soup can't be finished at all, so hurry up and give it to the children and their mothers to taste together.

In desperation, Qu Hetai had no choice but to serve a large pot of broth to his wife and daughter's table.

At this time, the children finally smiled.

Seeing this, Li Qiu also sighed in his heart.

Eighty percent of this Qu Hetai has always been frugal.

Don't look at him as a member of the third rank in the imperial court, I'm afraid that on weekdays, the food of his family is not very good.

Otherwise, this kid wouldn't be so greedy for cheap dog meat.

After the appeasement over there, the children and adults started to eat lively.

Qu and Taicai finally came back here and explained to Li Qiu with a smile.

Speaking of this dog broth, there is not much skill.

There is no need to put salt or any seasoning.

The original flavor is the most delicious when it is hot.

Li Qiu is also invited to come and taste it.

Hearing what he said, Li Qiu, who has always liked food, filled a bowl and started to taste it.

This taste is indeed rare and delicious.

Different.

In fact, when Li Qiu was about to drink the soup, the expression of Deng Xiang, the chief eunuch next to him, changed a few times.

Every time I hesitate to speak.

In the end, he looked at Qu Hetai's wife and daughter who were eating and drinking on the other side.

So he relaxed his vigilance and gave up the idea of ​​drug testing.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Qu Hetai's wife and concubine, who were far away, suddenly felt severe pain in their stomachs.

It fell directly from the table and chair.

After a painful struggle, they vomited blood and died before they could climb up here.

The three daughters were younger, vomited blood on the spot, rolled their eyes to the ground, and died straight away.

At the same time as this scene happened, Li Qiu also felt something strange in his body.

Following that, almost instinctively, he directly activated the system to lock the poison, and at the same time he called Yun Zhong to come to the rescue through emergency telepathy.

And when all this happened, before the chief eunuch could react from his fright.

Qu Hetai, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly became violent.

A sharp dagger appeared in his hand, beheading Deng Xiang neatly.

At this moment, even if Li Qiu is a fool, he has already understood all this.

"Qu Hetai..."

"Why do you want to harm me?"

"Who bought you?"

"Li Ke, Gao Yang, or those elite families..."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Qu Hetai squatted down carefully while wiping the blood off the dagger with Deng Xiang's clothes.

While saying coldly: "I am Qu Hetai, loyal and righteous."

"It even treats gold and silver like dung."

"How can you be bought by others?"

At this moment, Li Qiu, who was trying his best to calm himself down, looked at him angrily.

If it is possible, he really wants to unsheath the Qinglong sword on his waist and cut off the head of his neck.

"Hmph, how dare you call yourself a loyal and courageous bastard like you, who betrays his master and seeks glory?"

Qu Hetai raised his head at this moment, looked at Li Qiu with firm eyes, and said ironically: "As early as the reign of Wude, I was sent to Chang'an by King Rongliu of Goguryeo."

"Then he found a family with a lot of money, sneaked into the court, and finally tried his best to come to the Ministry of War."

"And you, occupying my entire western Liaoning area, and captured my eastern Liaodong city."

"It even killed tens of thousands of my soldiers and common people, and made me suffer humiliation in Goguryeo."

"I have been thinking about this hatred for countless days and nights."

"Now, I finally got my wish."

"As for what Lord are you talking about?"

"Hmph, how could I be bribed by you for such a small favor?!"

While talking, Qu Hetai was extremely meticulous, preparing to escape and withdraw from Chang'an according to the original plan.

It may also be that he was too proud and excited at this time, so he kept talking.

"It's the person I fear the most in the entire Tang Dynasty."

"Not the generals of the Tang Dynasty, nor the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty."

"But it's just Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling."

"When they are around, I even have to be vigilant in my dreams."

"So, I killed my wife with my own hands and turned myself into a lonely family."

"On weekdays, I don't dare to have too many interactions with outsiders."

"But even so, no matter how hard I try to show my talent, I've always been crushed by the two of them."

"By the way, I remember I told you before that Du Ruhui wanted to be promoted to me, but was blocked by those elites."

"The essence of this matter is that I have spent a lot of money to obtain the position of the Minister of the Ministry of War."

"But Du Ruhui refused."

"Remember that gossip Guo Fushan should have mentioned this to you back then."

"But you didn't take it seriously at all."

"It's also you, an idiot, who promoted me to your side with your own hands, and even thought of giving favors, wooing and promoting me."

"Fang Xuanling is cautious by nature. Although he disagrees with you in his heart, he will naturally not stop you unless there are special circumstances."

"When it comes to knowing people, you can't even get one of Fang Du's."

"They isolated me from Datang's core just by relying on their intuition."

"If you want to say that in Chang'an City, the real door god of the Tang Dynasty is not Qin Qiong or Yuchi Jingde."

"It's this house who plotted to end it."

"If Fang Xuanling is still around, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to do what I'm doing today."

"Of course, it's also because your luck is really good that you can survive till now."

"Back when the Tang Dynasty was fighting with Goguryeo, you sent me to the Ministry of Rites to be a servant by mistake."

"Goguryeo has lost the information I sent, so it can only endure the humiliation, abandon Liaodong City, immediately withdraw its troops, and surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

"Later, when Li Chengqian sent you to Tibet as an envoy."

"How much I wish you could die there, and of course I won't accompany you to die."

"But it's a pity that I think highly of Li Chengqian and Tubo."
