Chapter 122 The Special Envoy of the Tang Dynasty

The sky gradually turned white. Li Qing looked at the mountains in the distance in front of the window, thinking about the next countermeasure in his mind. King Han Gui's intention to kill him was already clear. From the Nanzhao envoy who wanted to send Awan to King Han Gui, it could be seen that Nanzhao still wanted to support King Han Gui's unification of eastern Yunnan. Han Chongdao should also understand this. He should explain it to him clearly. He must let him know that the court also supports him.

The situation was subtle and it was almost as if it was torn apart. He needed to deal with this matter with all his heart. He looked back at A Wan. Her breathing was evenly and she was sleeping soundly. Perhaps this was the best time to let A Wan ‘disappear’ from then on, so as not to cause trouble.

The witch had already put on a mask and was about to leave in the early morning. "Master Li, I'm leaving, Awan will ask her to rest well and wait until she is better before I come to find her." The witch spent all night's energy, her body was a little rested, but the joy in her eyes did not diminish.

"Please wait!"

Li Qing stopped the witch and said in a deep voice: "Would Awan be your successor? I dare not speak irresponsibly now, but one thing is certain. If she is still alive, countless people will have ideas for her, even her father. In order for her to make a choice quietly, we need to work together to do something."

"What's the matter?" The witch gradually understood what he meant, but still wanted him to say it.

Li Qing did not answer and thought for a while. He was not afraid of King Han Gui, so he was only a little worried about Han Chongdao. After all, Awan had been his daughter-in-law. If she died by her side now, what would Han Chongdao think? It was said that King Han Gui poisoned him without any evidence. At that time, could he still persuade him?"

The witch seemed to know his thoughts and smiled and said, "According to your Han people's ideas, Awan is still Han Chongdao's wife. But for us, after her husband dies, she will be free for five days and has nothing to do with Han Chongdao. That is why Nanzhao gave her to King Han Gui again, and she could even marry Han Chongdao again. Han Chongdao also longed for this. Didn't you see Awan asking you to dance? Just for this, I agree with your thoughts.

Seeing a hint of surprise in Li Qing's eyes, she said lightly: "Ethics are determined by people, and the same is true for us. As long as people can have a prosperous population, nothing else matters."

"Then do you have a way to make her 'resurrect from the dead?'"

"I have no choice! But if I say she is dead, no one will think she is still alive."

The witch smiled helplessly, "It's just that she really became a witch in the future, so it would be a troublesome thing to hide her identity."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "If I ask her to be the next witch, won't you object?"

Li Qing shook his head, "I'm not unopposed, but this is Awan's own business after all. I want her to choose for herself. If she is still willing to follow me, then I must take her back to Chang'an."

The witch he was watching said word by word: "So, you must respect her choices too!"

The witch was a little surprised when she heard his words. She stared at the unique man, and for a while, nodded silently.

It was hazy, and a carriage drove out from the Tang army's headquarters and drove quickly towards the Wu Temple in the city.

Two hours later, Awan was poisoned and died and was spread to Han Chongdao. Like everyone else, he didn't believe it at first, but like everyone else, he had to believe it. The news came from the witch temple. It was the witch who personally announced that he died in the Heartbreaking Grass. The authenticity of the news cannot be questioned.

With a 'bang', Han Chongdao's cup hit the ground hard, smashing it to pieces, his face swollen into purple-red, and pointed at Li Qing who had just entered the room and shouted: "You still have the face to see me!"

Li Qing didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red, and he stared at him angrily, "Do you think Awan was killed by me? Why did I kill her? She was poisoned last night, and I asked the witch to save her for a night, but it still didn't help you. Don't think about who wanted to kill her the most, and who was so shameless in front of her last night."

Han Chongdao's eyes narrowed into a slit, "You mean King Hangui? But I have never heard of him being good at any poison, and Awan has been with you last night. Even if he is willing, what chance he has to poison him? How can you explain this to me?"

A trace of regret flashed in Li Qing's eyes and sighed, "Let me be honest! Actually, the one who Han Guiwang wanted to kill me, and it was very simple to confirm that this point. Go and ask the girl who gave me hydrangea last night, ask who gave her the glass of wine she asked me to drink, and who changed it later, and then I understand the matter. I just want to tell you that in the end, Awan drank the glass of wine for me."

Han Chongdao believed it, and he believed this reason. King Hangui would not poison Awan, but he would definitely kill Li Qing. If this was Anxi City, Li Qing would have died a thousand times and ten thousand times in the morning.

As the witch said, Han Chongdao treated Awan just like King Han Gui, who only wanted to possess this woman, not that she was his daughter-in-law. Since he was dead, he had no choice but to do anything. Gradually, the anger in his eyes calmed down and changed to another look, which was worry. Last night, the envoy of Nanzhao went to find King Han Gui and left very late. What did they talk about? Will Nanzhao attack him with King Han Gui? This is what he is most worried about.

"Then what should I do now?"

Han Chongdao looked at Li Qing. When the envoy of Nanzhao gradually turned to King Hangui, Li Qing changed from a second-class distinguished guest to a first-class distinguished guest in his heart. He was the only one he could rely on now.

Seeing that he no longer pestered Ah Wan, Li Qing returned to the main topic. After taking two steps, he said coldly: "Then why don't you ask for help from the Tang Dynasty? If the Tang Dynasty supports you, are you still afraid of Nanzhao and the King of Hangui?"

Han Chongdao looked a little sad. He shook his head and sighed: "Why didn't I think that a month ago, I sent someone to ask for help from the Tang Dynasty's censor Li Mi who was in charge of Yunnan affairs, but he said he wanted to ask the court for instructions, but there was no news for the request. I can't count on the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Qing looked at him slightly lowered his head and looked at him with a strange expression on his face. Jijie smiled and said, "How come there is no news? Isn't the Tang Dynasty's 'news' standing in front of you now?"

It seemed as if a thunderbolt was enough to shock Han Chongdao to take two steps back, staring at him in disbelief, opening his mouth widened, and stuttering for a long time: "Aren't you a businessman from Chengdu?"

Seeing Li Qing take out Tang Jun's waist card again, he suddenly understood and slapped himself hard, "I'm so stupid. Your subordinates are obviously soldiers, but I couldn't imagine that they are stupid!"

Now, he was very energetic and said in surprise: "Did you send it from Li Mi?"

Li Qing laughed loudly, "Chief Han, you underestimate yourself too much." At this point, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he smiled proudly with his hands behind his back, "I came from Chang'an, the special envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to resolve the affairs of Eastern Yunnan. I am appointed as the Chief of Prince Guoyi, the Prince of the Yulin Army, and the prince's servant."

He pulled out a letter from his arms and proclaimed: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has an order, and Han Chongdao will obey the title!"

Han Chongdao was overjoyed and didn't know how to answer the order. He knelt down in panic and lay on the ground, like a toad.

Li Qing smiled slightly and said to a piece of white paper: "Han Chongdao is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and is specially appointed as the governor of Nanning Prefecture, and is the commander of the Xun Qingche. I am here!"

After he finished reading it, he quickly put away the "secret order", helped him up with a smile, and whispered: "Don't preach this matter, can Governor Han understand?"

Han Chongdao said gratefully: "Of course I understand that the governor of Nanning Prefecture is still the King of Han Gui. If you tell me, wouldn't you force him to rebel immediately?"
