Lu Dongzan originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Songtsen Gampo's murderous look, he could only swallow the rest of his words. In fact, Songtsen Gampo also understood that the reason why Lu Dongzan said that before was just because he didn't want to take the blame, but now the entire Tubo is full of good-for-nothings, otherwise the remaining people would only know how to fight and have no brains, so apart from Lu Dongzan, Songtsen Gampo had no one he could rely on.
"What about Deji Yangzong?"
When Lu Dongzan was about to go out, General Huyan said something bravely, and many young men in the tent pricked up their ears. They admired Deji Yangzong very much. If she married General Huyan, people on the plateau also worshipped heroes, so these people would not say anything.
But if they were taken away by Li Xiang, these people would be extremely dissatisfied. You know, Li Xiang did not make any promises, which meant that Deji Yangzong would not be able to have a very high position. At most, she would be a concubine of Li Xiang. In the eyes of these young nobles, Deji Yangzong was like a goddess. They would be willing to have her go back and serve them like their mother. But Li Xiang only gave them an ordinary concubine. They felt that their goddess was insulted.
"Shut up! That's the Deji family's business. It has nothing to do with you. Remember this! If anyone goes out to fight again because of this, I don't care who you are. I will tie you up immediately and throw you outside the tent to wake you up. Is it really that bad for a woman? Have you forgotten the important things?"
Songtsen Gampo said angrily that although Deji Yangzong was very beautiful and he had thought about her before, the matter was done now and she had already stayed in Li Xiang’s tent for a night. Do you still want her?
Anyone who can appear in this tent is basically a famous person in Tubo. Even if you bastards are willing, your family members probably won't agree. If something happens because of such a woman, and Tubo is unable to get food, then you will be the sinners of Tubo.
Seeing that Songtsen Gampo was angry, the rest of the people did not dare to speak. However, General Huyan was not an ordinary person. He was the leader of the Tubo army. This guy wanted to say a few more words, but Songtsen Gampo did not give him a chance. Lu Dongzan took advantage of this gap and directly pulled this guy out.
"Are you crazy? Don't you see it? Our current position is extremely dangerous. Those old nobles have long coveted my position. If I don't bring back the food, you won't even have a chance to survive in the future. If I fall, will the people around us still have a chance to survive? Don't just focus on one woman now."
When Lu Dongzan said this, his face felt a little hot. In fact, Songtsen Gampo was scolding those noble children on the surface, but he was also referring to Lu Dongzan. You guy sacrificed so many people in the Chang'an City delegation because of Changsun Pingting. Now is just a time of national crisis, so we didn't bother with you. If the food issue can't be handled well, then we will settle old and new accounts together, and it will not be so easy to get through then.
"But Yangzong must have been threatened."
There were already tears in General Huyan's eyes. Lu Dongzan had finally met someone who was more infatuated than himself. Although he also liked Changsun Pingting very much, it was nothing more than a possessive desire. After a calm analysis, he was bound to give up that woman, so he had not felt any heartache in the past few days. But this general who had fought on the battlefield was actually about to cry because of a woman.
Lu Dongzan had no sentimental feelings and slapped General Huyan in the face. Although General Huyan was promoted by him, he was a general in the Tubo army after all. It was indeed a bit too much for Lu Dongzan to slap him like that.
However, the general did not refute this. After all, everything he had was given by the prime minister. If it were not for the prime minister's arrangement, he would be just an ordinary general now. How could he sit in such a position in Tubo, a country with outstanding aristocratic families?
"This is the last time I'll hear this woman's name from you. If you dare bring it up again, don't blame me for being rude to you. I can sacrifice my favorite woman, and so can you. Only in this way can we see the final victory. If you shed this tear, you're not worthy of being my brother."
Lu Dongzan knew very well that drastic measures had to be taken for some people, and General Huyan was a lovesick man, so after Lu Dongzan finished speaking, he did not stop at all and strode towards Li Xiang's barracks. As for whether this guy could figure it out, that was his own problem. If he failed to recover from this matter, Lu Dongzan would not be lenient and might arrange someone to replace him at any time, after all, his position was so important.
"Here he comes, this guy is coming this way. It seems that our show has worked."
Chang Sun Chong had been watching through the window of the tent since early morning. When he saw a large group of people coming from a distance, it was obviously Lu Dongzan.
Qin Huaiyu and the others also stood in a row and pretended to pack up their things in the tent. Many people were already busy and it seemed that they were about to set off.
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Are you not comfortable living in Tubo?"
When Lu Dongzan came in from outside, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and the ruthlessness he had just shown disappeared immediately. Such a person is definitely a great actor.
"Prime Minister, what are you talking about? Our Highness is certainly staying very comfortably, especially last night. However, an imperial decree has arrived in Chang'an City. As subjects of the Tang Dynasty, we must abide by its regulations. War is about to break out in the north of our country, and we must return to Chang'an as quickly as possible."
As Chang Sun Chong spoke, he took out the imperial edict. This imperial edict was indeed real, but it was written by Li Xiang long ago, but it had never been taken out. Li Xiang had thought of this scene at that time, which shows how far-sighted this guy was. When Li Shimin wrote this imperial edict, he had thought that Li Xiang might not need it, but he didn't expect that he would actually use it...
