"Milord, do you think the Emperor will agree to our conditions?”
The Turkic envoy swaggered out of Taiji Palace and headed for the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
a tall Turkic emissary suddenly asked the Turkic mastermind.
"The Emperor of the Great Tang will agree to what State Preceptor Yi said, but not all of them.
Instead, he discussed with us and tried to lower the conditions and agree to some of them.”
the Turkic mastermind said after some thought.
He still remembered what the Turkic Imperial Advisor, Zhao Deyan, had told him.
"What a pity!"
The Turkic emissary shook his head.
He felt that it was a pity that he couldn't make the Great Tang agree to all the conditions.
"A pity?"
The Turkic mastermind sneered.
"Once the Great Tang Emperor agrees to the conditions, it truly proves that the Great Tang does not want war. Then…hmph! Humph!"
The Turkic mastermind hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was self-evident.
It was just like how the late Qing government did not let the Japanese off the hook when they signed the treaty.
"So that's how it is. This is a test of the Great Tang!”
The Turkic emissary understood.
"But this subordinate still doesn't understand. Why does Milord insist on bringing the Third Prince back to the Turks as a hostage?”
The envoy continued to ask.
Jie Li Khan's letter of credence did not ask the Great Tang to send a prince as a hostage.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
The Turkic mastermind loudly berated his subordinate.
"Yes, sir! Yes! I've said too much!"
The messenger hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.
"Humph!"
The Turkic mastermind coldly harrumphed.
"Humph! These aristocratic families of the Great Tang are truly wealthy. As long as I agree to the request of the Emperor of the Great Tang for the Third Prince to be a hostage, they will give me so many benefits regardless of whether I succeed or not.”
The Turkic mastermind thought smugly.
This was the real reason why he had asked Li Shimin to let Li Ke go to the Turks as a hostage.
The aristocratic families had given him a huge offer. It didn't matter if Li Shiming agreed or not, as long as he opened his mouth, he would be given a huge benefit.
It didn't matter if Li Shi Min didn't agree to it, since he had already received a large sum of benefits.
If Li Shi Min agreed.
Then he would obtain more benefits from the aristocratic families.
"As for Li Shi Min, if he agrees to let Li Ke be a hostage, then we can find an excuse to get rid of him.”
The Turk mastermind was completely relying on the fact that Jie Li Khan didn't know how to act recklessly outside.
"Haha! This king is also a little curious. Who gave you the courage to suggest using this king as a hostage?”
At this moment, a teasing voice sounded.
"Who is it?"
The Turkic envoys pulled on the reins of their horses and looked forward.
A tall red horse entered his sight.
"Good horse!"
The Turkic envoys thought to themselves.
The Turkic men were herdsmen, and they could tell at a glance that the horses in front of them were one in a million.
Looking up.
He saw a handsome man wearing purple-gold armor and holding a halberd.
"We are Turkic envoys.
Even the Emperor of the Great Tang has to treat us with courtesy.
Who are you to block our path?”
The Turkic mastermind threatened with a dark expression.
"However, if you hand over the horse you are riding, we will forgive your offense.”
The Turkic mastermind revealed a greedy expression as he looked at Li Ke's red rabbit horse.
"Haha! This king is the Third Prince of the Great Tang that you're talking about taking to the Turks as hostage, Li Ke!”
Li Ke coldly laughed as he waved the ancient halberd in his hand.
These Turkic envoys truly didn't know what was good for them, asking for his Red Hare Horse.
"So you are the Third Prince of the Great Tang, Li Ke.
But even the Third Prince of the Great Tang is useless, and even your Imperial Father wouldn't dare to do anything to us.
Humph! Humph! If anything happens to us in the Great Tang, the Turkic cavalry will trample over your Great Tang.”
The Turk mastermind was not afraid of Li Ke's identity.
"Today, I want your horse!”
The Turkic leader dismounted and walked towards Li Ke, grabbing the reins of the Red Hare.
Bang ~
But a moment later, the red rabbit horse kicked out, sending the Turkic mastermind flying.
"How dare you!"
"We are Turkic emissaries. How dare you attack us? Are you crazy, Qin King?”
"Hurry up and surrender, or the great Jie Li Khan will not let you off!”
Seeing this, the Turkic envoys all drew their scimitars and pointed them at Li Ke.
"Kill them!"
However, Li Ke suddenly roared in a low voice when he saw this.
"Roar!"
A beast's roar came from behind Li Ke, and a large insect with a pair of eyes appeared behind the Turkic messenger, roaring as it pounced at them.
"What is it? Why is there a tiger here?"
The Turkic envoys were shocked.
But what answered them was the tiger's fangs and claws.
In less than a minute, the Turkic envoys were all bitten to death by the ferocious tiger.
"Imperial Father, since you can't make up your mind, this king will make it for you today!”
Li Ke looked at the corpses on the ground and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
This tiger was the one that he had summoned from Song Jiang's template, the one that Wu Song had killed in Water Margins.
Clang ~
The golden saber on the Turkic mastermind's body was cut off by Li Ke's halberd.
This marked the official declaration of war between the Great Tang and the Turks.
"Doudou, stop eating human flesh. Let's go!”
Li Ke called out and turned to leave.
Not long after, the news of the Turkic messenger being killed by a tiger spread.
The court was shaken!
Chang 'an was boiling!
