Zhenla country.

Li Chongyi and his entourage arrived in Zhenla three days ago, and everything was as usual at first, but Lin Yiguo heard that it was the Tang envoy who came, and also made way for them to pass. When they arrived at the border, King Zhenla sent one of the five ministers, Gu Luozhi and Gao Xiangyan to greet him, and he did his best to meet him.

That night, they entered the city of Champa and stayed in the 'Welcome Building' of the Zhenla Kingdom, and an envoy came, and the number of courtesies was extremely respectful, saying that their king was preparing a grand ceremony to welcome the envoys of the Heavenly Empire, and it would take a little time to prepare, and the Tang envoys were invited to stay in the Welcome Building temporarily, as needed, although they spoke, no matter what it was, the whole of the Zhenla Kingdom would be as satisfied as possible.

For Li Chongyi, the main envoy, he naturally tried his best to flatter, and he also sent four beautiful women that night, and was driven out by Li Chongyi. He is like this, Wang Pu is not funny, so he can only reluctantly send the two little beauties out.

I settled down and stayed for three days.

On this day, Wang Pu came to find Li Chongyi, he had been in contact with Li Mu for a long time, cultivated business acumen, and finally came to Zhenla, he wanted to take a look at the bazaar, to see if there was anything that Datang did not have, something small and light, and it was not cumbersome to take it back to Datang.

Li Chongyi is the leader, so he naturally has to discuss with him. But when he came to Li Chongyi's room, he found that he was not there, so he looked around, and found Li Chongyi, who was frowning, not far from the back door of the welcome building.

"Big man, what are you doing?"

Along the way, the two have become acquainted, and Li Chongyi is no longer angry about the title of big man. Li Chongyi glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I think something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Wang Pu looked left and right and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"We've been here for three days now."

When Wang Pu heard the music, he said disapprerovitically: "Are you for this?" Oh, didn't they say that you have to prepare a grand ceremony to welcome. This is called the national ceremony, do you understand the national ceremony? We are Tang envoys, representing the Tang Dynasty-" Suddenly, he also lowered his voice and said, "Although we are fake, you also have to pretend to be the same as the real one, don't show your feet." ”

Li Chongyi looked at him and didn't say anything.

Wang Pu continued: "Compared with our Tang Dynasty, Zhenla is completely a small country, a land of projectiles. We can come here because we give them a lot of face, they are grander, not for us, but for themselves, to make the momentum bigger, so that the surrounding countries know that Zhenla has dealings with Datang, and their purpose has been achieved. This is what the Hou Ye promised them, let them toss it, it's not bad for a few days. I want to go to the bazaar to buy something, will you go? If you don't go, I'll go with the Chongyi boy. ”

"That's not right!"

Li Chongyi said coldly: "I don't think what you said is right, even if King Zhenla is preparing for the ceremony to welcome us, what about the prince of motorcycles who came with us?" When we parted three days ago, he said that he would come and take us on a tour tomorrow, but he didn't come, and the bearded Duolou next to him didn't show up. ”

"Didn't you listen to him on the way here, Zhenla Country is such a prince as him, and the national ceremony is such a big thing, can he be idle? It must be busy, isn't there someone waiting for us? What's going on, Lonely Branch, yes, Lonely Branch, his official son is bigger than Lou Ke, he is equivalent to our prime minister, he comes to say hello every morning, it's not enough? ”

"I don't think it's right." Li Chongyi stared at a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells, which startled Wang Pu, he saw that Li Chongyi's eyes were bloody again, he had seen Li Chongyi's anger, and his eyes turned red, which was the precursor of his anger.

Where did Wang Pu dare to provoke him, and hurriedly said: "Big man, you, don't be angry, I was wrong, you are right, you think something is wrong, can't I say something wrong?" ”

Li Chongyi took a deep breath, tried to keep his tone as steady as possible, and said, "I don't think something is wrong, and it's not entirely guessing." When I smell blood, I can't control my anger, although I haven't seen it for the past few days, but I can feel that the smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger, which means that there are dead people in this city! Someone is killing people! ”

"Murder?" Wang Pu was stunned for a moment and said: "It's impossible, we are Tang envoys, Tang envoys are here, who dares to make a mistake?" ”

"I want to know too."

After Li Chongyi finished speaking, he strode to the door, stretched out his hand and pointed at the guard standing at the door, and said, "You go and find the prince of motorcycles and tell him that the Tang envoy has something to do with him." ”

The guard saluted and left, and after a while, the lonely branch came, far away, he was full of smiles, walked closer, and apologized repeatedly, Li Chongyi ignored him, or that sentence, and said: "Find the prince of motorcycles, I have something to discuss with him." ”

"Envoy Rongyu, His Royal Highness the Prince occasionally feels cold, and it is inconvenient to see each other, so you can just tell me if you have something."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Pu also felt that there was a problem, he looked at Li Chongyi, and then said: "When we separated three days ago, the prince of motorcycles was still healthy, why did he suddenly feel cold?" The climate of Zhenla is so warm, it's not easy to think about the wind and cold, right? ”

Gu Luozhi said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't know, this wind chill is divided into two kinds: cold and hot, it is called wind chill because of cold, and it is called cold because of heat, both of which are wind chills. His Royal Highness the Prince was the one who was hot, and he was afraid of infecting the envoy, so he couldn't see each other. ”

"And the hairy ......?"

"The king has arranged for him to be in charge of the ceremony, and he is very busy."

"Oh." Wang Pu also noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything more, smiled, and said, "I see, it's really not a coincidence." Can you ask how long you still need to prepare for the ceremony in your country, I have been away from the country for a long time, and I want to return to the country as soon as possible. ”

Lonely branch said: "It won't be too long, within a day or two, isn't it comfortable for the envoy to live in the welcome building?" Don't blame the poor hospitality, the small country and the widows can't be compared with the upper country. ”

"Well said, well said." Wang Pu snorted and revealed. After a few more greetings, he sent away the lonely branch, and Wang Pu's face changed.

Although Wang Pu is a little squirming, he is from a famous family, whether he likes it or not, he has to read history since he was a child. In the history books, more than half of the records are all kinds of royal affairs, among which the coup, the palace, the rebellion, etc., occupy the largest space.

The performance of the lonely branch just now is just right. Wang Pu wants to think on the bright side now, but it's impossible.

That night, the number of guards in the welcome building doubled, confirming this conjecture even more.

Five hundred brocade guards were stationed outside the city, and there were only Li Chongyi, Li Chongyi, Wang Pu and ten followers in the welcome building. Facing the hundreds of armored guards outside the welcome building, the situation is like a turtle in an urn!
