Chapter 561: Oversleeping
The king of Sri Buddha, seeing that the Tang army sailors were anchored steadily in the port, hurriedly led a group of ministers to meet them with smiling faces, ready to greet the officials of the Tang Dynasty. β‘ β βTomato Novel -'-.-f-q'x-s''.-c-o'm'
However, he did not welcome the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty, only some low-ranking generals and soldiers disembarked from the ship, and made the most basic defensive preparations in the port with weapons, and no one said a word to the king who had passed away.
The monarchs and ministers of Sri Buddha were suddenly a little stunned, they suddenly felt that the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty were too big, and they actually let them wait here, but after all, the Tang Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and any officials who are bigger are all the kings of small countries who have more real power, so it is understandable to be arrogant.
"Your Majesty, I don't know when the officials of the Tang Dynasty want us to wait!"
"The Celestial Empire is a big country, this face is too big, we have all been waiting for a moment."
"We're waiting here, Your Majesty might as well rest for a while!"
The courtiers of the small country also want to save face, they greet the whole country, but the officials of the Tang Dynasty let them wait, which will make them a little angry, and they get up early, and they generally don't sleep enough, so that a person who is still sleepy blows a cold wind in the port, who can be in a good mood?
"Don't worry, let's wait!"
King Sri Buddha waved his hand, asking the ministers to bear with it, after all, he was very afraid of the powerful strength of the Tang Dynasty, if he offended the Tang Empire, his kingdom and everything he had would be finished, so what did it matter if he was a little humiliated?
The common people are also complaining, but they are all small people, and now, even the king and his ministers are standing in the port blowing the cold wind, what is there to complain about these little people? Some people are still proud in their hearts? I think it's very enjoyable to let the king stand and blow the cold wind, they can't survive the king's mud legs, even if they stand for a day, they can accompany them to the end.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, half an hour had passed, and the younger ones were better, but the older ministers were a little unbearable, and the king's forehead began to sweat.
The common people don't care, they are so tired that they can't stand it, so they sit on the ground, anyway, their clothes don't look clean, and they don't care about sitting on the ground, and the king and the ministers are people with status, their clothes are spotless, where can they sit on the ground casually, so they can only endure it.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter, we greet them respectfully, but they do not show their faces."
"Your Majesty, did we do something bad and offended Datang."
"Impossible, how could we do something that made Datang unhappy? This is unlikely. β
"Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to ask and see what the hell is going on!"
The ministers discussed.
The deceased king of Sri Buddha couldn't stand it anymore, and his heart was full of anger, so he paused, nodded and said, "Okay! Send someone to ask, what the hell is going on? β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A young minister volunteered to board a large ship of the Tang Army.
"Excuse me, where is your chief?"
The young minister asked a soldier.
"Haven't woken up yet?"
The soldier replied.
"The sky is all watching, why are you still asleep, and the other chief officers are also asleep?"
The young minister would not be afraid of a small soldier of the Tang Army, and asked boldly.
"It's not because it's not because I helped you exterminate the pirates, the generals drank too much at the celebration banquet last night, so naturally they have to sleep a little longer."
The soldier replied loudly.
"Understood, understood, farewell."
The young minister saluted and hurriedly ran down.
"What's going on?"
King Sri Buddha asked anxiously.
The young minister hurriedly told him what he had discovered.
"Oh, so they drank too much at the celebration last night, so it's no wonder."
"Yes! Oh, yes! They can't be blamed for this, they must have celebrated their victory against the pirates. β
"Since the senior officials of the Tang Army are resting, then we can't disturb them, let's rest first! This rebellion hasn't been eaten yet? β
The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously touched their shriveled stomachs.
King Sri Buddha sighed and said softly: "Tell everyone the news immediately, don't let them misunderstand the Tang Dynasty, so as not to cause misunderstandings, and let the people buy some food nearby in batches." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The ministers were overjoyed, and the news spread that the Tang army had overslept because they had helped them exterminate the pirates.
The common people are reasonable, just now they were angry, now, after listening to the Tang army to help them exterminate the pirates, they are all excited, no one complains about the arrogance of the Tang army, moreover, they heard that the captured more than 1,000 pirates are imprisoned on the big ship of the Tang army, and will soon be escorted ashore, which makes them even more excited, they want to see these captured pirates with their own eyes, and even, for this reason, they are willing to skip breakfast.
The deceased king of Sri Buddha did not have much appetite at the moment, and he would not die of hunger if he ate less breakfast anyway, but he had been standing for most of the day, and his leg was indeed very sore.
The king found a stool to sit down, and asked the old ministers to sit down as well, and it was more comfortable to sit and wait than to stand, and of course they did not sit in the open air, for it was unseemly, and they found a secluded place, covered with cloth, so that no one could see what was going on in the distance.
For a whole hour, the sun was getting high, and the king was sunburned with parasols.
In the bedroom of the boat, Li An still did not wake up, he slept late last night, and drank a lot of alcohol, it is strange that he can get up early.
Yuna and the beautiful woman got up very early, but they didn't dare to wake up Ang Lee at will, so as not to upset Ang Lee, but seeing the whole country greet Sarribuddha outside, they also felt that this was not appropriate, and they should not let the greeter wait too long, which was too rude.
"What to do? The people outside had been waiting for an hour, but Ah Lang hadn't woken up yet. β
Yuna said.
The beautiful woman said: "Then go and wake up Ah Lang!" β
Yun'er said, "You go." β
The beautiful woman nodded, walked to the side of the couch, leaned down slightly, and whispered, "Ah Lang, Ah Lang." β
Li An heard a little sound, opened his eyes slightly, and saw a white and large soft part, which can be described in five words, that is, white and soft and upright.
There was also a fragrance in the air, which made Ang Lee want to pull the beautiful woman into his arms and have a good time.
"It's dawn."
Ang Lee whispered.
"Ah Lang, it's dawn early, and the whole country is outside to greet Ah Lang, and the king is too tired to get up."
The beautiful woman laughed as she spoke.
Li An looked confused and said, "I can't stand up, what do you mean?" β
Obviously, Li An deliberately wanted to be crooked, at this moment, he is straight, and very hard, after all, he has just gotten up, in the morning, any normal man will be straight, this is called morning erection, a very interesting function.
"He just couldn't straighten his waist, and after he stood for half an hour, he found a place to sit down and wait."
The beautiful woman explained.
Li An smiled, nodded and said, "Sri Buddha actually welcomed the whole country when he died, it is really sincere enough, I can't let them wait any longer, Ah Lang is going to meet them." β
After stepping out of the cabin, Ang Lee found that most of the principal officials had not come out, and they were probably still asleep, so he immediately ordered everyone to get up and follow him down to inspect Sri Buddha's death.
After gathering more than a dozen high-ranking officials, Ang Lee disembarked and prepared to meet the deceased King Sri Buddha.
And the king had long since discovered that the high-ranking officials on the big ship of the Tang Army were moving, so he had already stood up and waited dozens of steps forward.
"My dear friend, I've kept you waiting."
Ang Lee recognized the deceased king at a glance and greeted him warmly.
"Li Shilang, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so heroic."
King Sri Buddha complimented.
Li An waved his hand and said, "It's not as good as before, and His Royal Highness the King is also very energetic!" When you were a prince, were you? Ha ha! β
"To be able to meet again is fate, Li Shilang can come, Xiao Wang is very happy."
King Sri Buddha said enthusiastically.
Li An opened his mouth and said: "This official originally planned to go directly to the country of Gogu Luo, but he suddenly remembered that his old friend was here, and there were pirates around him, so he led the army to come, and he didn't know what his old friend liked, so he didn't prepare any gifts. β
"Li Shilang is polite, this is not a small favor! This is a great help to us, our Sri Buddha has been attacked by pirates, the Tang Dynasty sailors killed thousands of pirates as soon as they made a move, it was really very happy, the people heard about the Tang Army's feats, and all of them voluntarily ran to meet the Tang Dynasty sailors. β
King Sri Buddha said enthusiastically.
Li An patted his head and nodded: "Look, I have been chatting with you, but the gift has not been served yet?" Whoever comes, take all the captured pirates up. β
"Yes. Li Shilang. β
It wasn't long before all the more than a thousand pirates were escorted to the port and handed over to the government of Sri Buddha to deal with the bad guys themselves.
Seeing more than a thousand pirates being escorted ashore, the people of Sri Buddha all cheered excitedly, these pirates did not toss them, and now these bad guys have been cleaned up by the Tang Army, they are naturally very happy in their hearts, as for waiting for a long time, this is not a matter, which is more important, the people themselves have a rod and scale.
"Li Shilang, my old friend, this gift of yours is too valuable, do you know? In order to catch these guys, Xiao Wang offered a very high reward, and the pirate leader who walked over just now, Xiao Wang paid a hundred gold bars to buy his head? Ha ha! β
Sri Buddha passed away and said happily.
"Oh, these humble guys are worth so much, haha!"
Li An smiled happily and said softly: "It's my honor to help my old friend solve troubles, this trip to Sri Buddha passed away, I will stay for a few days, see the customs of your country, eat some different food, bring some good things, haha!" β
King Sri Buddha said excitedly: "Li Shilang has come to the right place, what he wants to see, what he wants to eat, what he wants to bring, as long as Xiao Wang can do it, he will definitely meet Li Shilang's requirements." β
"Okay, then the official can be taken seriously, haha! Go first to your palace, and bring up all the good food, and do not hide it. β
Li An said magnificently.
King Sri Buddha nodded, "Don't worry! Please. β
Li An led more than 500 people, including the guards, to the capital of Sri Buddha's death, of which more than 100 entered the palace, and the rest of the men and horses were deployed near the port, so as not to enter the city too many people and have a bad impact on the local security.
The royal palace where Sri Buddha died is quite beautiful, a typical rainforest palace, but the scale of the building is not very good, and there are no super tall buildings like the Tang Empire.
"Your Royal Highness, your stomach is growling, you must have not eaten breakfast!"
Ang Lee joked with a smile.
King Sri Buddha was naturally not angry, and replied with a smile: "Li Shilang also just got up, and he definitely didn't eat, so let's have breakfast together." β
Li An said: "This is natural, you take out the delicious food, and the official also takes out the delicious food of the Tang Dynasty, let's learn from each other." β
"It's great to have a good meal."
King Sri Buddha seems to have faith in the cuisine of his country.
Soon, dozens of plates of delicacies were served, although it was just breakfast, a few random side dishes were enough, but the big people had breakfast, and it could also be very pompous.
Li An took a closer look and found that the breakfast of Sri Buddha's death was really very different from the breakfast of Datang, and the gap was too big.
Datang's breakfast is mainly vegetarian, and it is rarely stained with meat, such as soy milk, bean sprouts, poached eggs, small greens, pancakes and so on.
Sri Buddha's breakfast was too meaty, with plates of meat dishes, fried fish heads, fish tails, fish roe, fish bladders, fish balls, beef, mutton, and many other incomprehensible meats, which looked very greasy.
This is mainly because Datang is an agricultural civilization, farming is the greatest living guarantee for the people, and everything that grows in the soil is all vegetarian.
Sri Buddha is a maritime country, surrounded by endless oceans, and there are many high mountains in the country, so it is indeed difficult to feed too many people in such an environment.
It is said that the mountains eat the mountains and the water depends on the water, for Sri Buddha, since his back is to the sea, he naturally has to ask for food from the sea, so the fishing power of Sri Buddha's death is still relatively strong, fishermen account for a large proportion of this country, and fish is also the staple food of the people of this country.
In addition, Sri Buddha died in many mountains, and the tropical rainforest climate is destined to have a lot of wild animals here, and hunting has become the second largest source of food for the common people.
In addition, under the influence of the Tang civilization, the people here also learned to grow crops, but due to the terrain, the yield could not be too high.
