Chapter 609: Provocation

The ministers of Nan Tianzhu all know that Datang is much stronger than the Lion Kingdom, but they are not too clear about the specific situation, they only know that Datang has a vast area, a large number of soldiers and horses, and a rich country, as for how strong it is, they don't know very well.

When they thought of the distance between Datang and Nantianzhu, they had a sense of discouragement, and they all said that far water could not quench their thirst, and it was difficult to say how much help they could help with such a long distance.

As for what the Datang officials told them that the 10,000 elites of the Datang can withstand millions of people from other countries, they didn't believe it at all, thinking that this was the boasting of the Datang officials.

However, the Tang Dynasty officials and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can come at this time, for Nan Tianzhu, after all, it is a great thing, if the Tang Dynasty officials are willing to mediate, maybe the Lion Congress will see the face of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be some restraint, and it is not impossible to give up part of the invaded land.

They estimated that the Lion Kingdom would not offend Datang for no reason, but the crux of the matter was why Datang wanted to help Nan Tianzhu, and what benefits they could come up with, so that Datang would help willingly.

In addition, they haven't figured out what the purpose of the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty is to bring so many soldiers and horses to pass here, and if this purpose is not clear, they will be very uneasy, but judging from the attitude of the Datang officials, there should be no malicious intent.

"Your Majesty, this high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty came to visit with so many soldiers and horses, don't you mean anything!"

"Your Majesty, will this have anything to do with the Lion Nation's invasion of us?"

"Datang is thousands of miles away, so he shouldn't know the situation here so quickly, let alone for us, maybe it's just passing by."

"It's really hard to judge this, it's a petty official who just came, and he can't ask anything."

The ministers of Nan Tianzhu had a little headache, they couldn't figure out the purpose of the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts, both happy and worried.

King Eero was also frowning, he couldn't figure out the intentions of others, and his heart would not be at ease after all, but the Tang Dynasty wanted to be a small official, and he couldn't ask anything.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the three ships that Datang stopped in the port this time are big ships emitting black smoke, especially big, such a big Datang ship entered the harbor of Garigal, it is impossible for the people of the Lion Kingdom not to know, they must now know that Datang sent people to our royal city."

A minister spoke.

"That's right, such a big move, the Lion Kingdom now knows."

Another minister chimed in.

King Ero thought for a moment and said, "Can we take advantage of the opportunity of the Tang Dynasty officials coming to our country to defraud the Lion Country?" ”

"His Majesty the King means to make the Lion Kingdom mistakenly think that the Tang Dynasty is here to help us?"

The minister asked.

King Eero nodded and said: "That's right, that's what I mean, there must be spies from the Lion Kingdom in our royal city, if we spread false news and tell the people of the Lion Kingdom that Datang is here to help us, then, what kind of reaction do you think the people of the Lion Kingdom will have after they find out." ”

"They will be too scared to continue to threaten us, and perhaps return the land that has encroached on us."

"There is also a possibility that they may be angry and send soldiers and horses to attack the Tang fleet, so as to provoke people they dare not provoke."

"Both of these situations are good, either way, it's good for us."

The ministers seemed more pleased.

King Ero frowned and said, "You have also overlooked another situation, that is, they may send someone to contact the officials of the Tang Dynasty, promising to give the Tang Dynasty a lot of benefits, so as to ask the Tang Dynasty to support them, in this way, our situation is even more dangerous." ”

Obviously, King HΓ©rault was thinking more deeply, and he was worried that the hope that had finally appeared was disappointment, and that the Lion Nation would give more.

"Your Majesty, what can we do? In case a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty is bribed by the Lion State, then we will be in danger, and we must not let such a thing happen. ”

"Your Majesty, we must find out the purpose of the high-ranking officials of Datang as soon as possible, we must know what Datang wants, what we can give them, and we must draw Datang into our side."

"Your Majesty, the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty came from thousands of miles by sea, it is impossible to stop only at us along the way, they must have stopped at many places, the merchants who come and go must know some information, and the Tang officials just now, it is impossible not to know anything, tomorrow, we must know what we need from his mouth."

King Ero nodded and said: "You are right, we can't act rashly now, we must first figure out the purpose of the high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty, only in this way can we be foolproof." ”

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's discuss it tomorrow!"

A minister said.

Ero yawned and nodded, "Let's all go back!" Tomorrow will be good wine and good food, we will get the officials of Datang drunk together, and spit out the truth after drinking, he will definitely tell the truth. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

All the dignitaries saluted and turned to leave the palace.

The Datang steamship is really tall and handsome, since it docked at the port of Garigal, it has attracted the attention of people near the port, many people and traders have come to see the true face of the Datang steamship, of course, including the spies of the Lion Kingdom, they have long intended to capture Garigal, but they just eat so many ports in one go, they need to consolidate it, otherwise, rushing to capture Garigal will cause tension in the small countries of the entire subcontinent because the movement is too big.

The spies naturally had never seen such a huge steamship, so after inquiring casually, they understood that it was a steamship of the Tang Empire, and they were suddenly quite envious, but they didn't have time to sigh, and immediately sent this important news out.

In a small place like the southern tip of the subcontinent, the news can quickly reach its destination by simply taking the contact method of flying pigeons.

Kulam, the king of the Lion Kingdom, soon learned the news that the Tang steamship had arrived in the southern Tianzhu port of Garigar, which made him pay attention to it immediately.

If it were an ordinary small country, he would not be so nervous, but Datang is a powerful country in the world, and from the situation mentioned in the secret agent's letter, he knows that the Datang steamship is a very large ship, which is enough to show the strength of Datang.

"Thousands of miles away, how could the Tang Empire send officials to such a distant place? Moreover, still staying in Nantianzhu, what is this for? ”

Kurram said puzzled.

"Your Majesty, why should you worry, we have 50,000 elite soldiers and horses, although the Tang Dynasty is strong, but unfortunately it is thousands of miles away, and three big ships can help me."

One minister disagreed.

"Although the Tang Empire is far away, it is a strong country after all, if it is not necessary, it is better not to offend them, it is not wise to provoke a strong enemy for no reason."

Another minister objected.

"What is the quarrel, what is Datang's intentions, we are still unclear, we must first figure out Datang's intentions, and then we can make countermeasures, and also, find out the strength of Datang's fleet."

King Khuram said.

Obviously, he has made two preparations, one is to find a way to cooperate with Datang, as long as he knows Datang's intentions, and Datang's intentions will not infringe on his interests, he can cooperate with Datang, how good it is for everyone to make a fortune together, on the other hand, he is also ready to solve it by force, once Datang's purpose is to fight for Nantianzhu, it is to go with the Lion Country, in this case, it must be solved by force, and the premise of using force is that you must first figure out the strength of the Datang fleet, after comparing the strength, before a decision can be made on whether to use force.

"Your Majesty the King rest assured, we must find out the purpose of Datang as soon as possible, by the way, what about the seven-day deadline, now there are only six days left."

A minister said.

Kuram said: "This one remains the same, and you can't be soft when dealing with Nan Tianzhu." ”

Now, Nan Tianzhu and the Lion Kingdom are eager to figure out the purpose of Datang's coming, and they have a headache for this, while Li An, the supreme commander of the Datang fleet, is singing in a dashing manner on the sea.

There are songs of the Tang Dynasty and songs of later generations, however, in the songs of the Tang Dynasty, Ang Lee sings awkwardly, and most of them sing the songs of later generations, which is more pleasant.

"Ah Lang, what kind of song are you singing! It feels so strange! ”

Yuna asked softly.

Li An smiled: "These songs are all thought up by myself, ordinary people can't hear them, you are blessed to be able to hear the most beautiful and beautiful songs in the world." ”

For his singing voice, Ang Lee is still very narcissistic, in his previous life, with his voice, he still conquered the hearts of many beautiful girls, and many girls fell in love with themselves, which is Ang Lee's pride.

"Ah Lang, the songs you sing are very strange, what's so good."

"Yes! Ah Lang, we can't understand what you're singing, we don't understand at all. ”

Yun'er and the beauty don't give Ang Lee face too much, and they dare to say that Ang Lee's songs are not good.

Li An smiled: "It's not that Ah Lang sings badly, it's that your level of appreciation is too low, and you yourself admit it, you don't understand what Ah Lang sings!" ”

"Ah Lang, what the hell are you singing! It looks like he's having fun. ”

Yuna asked softly.

"Without your company, I'm really lonely, I haven't heard of it!"

Ang Lee said the title of the song.

"How could Ah Lang suddenly remember to sing such a song, aren't we all by your side? Does Ah Lang still feel lonely? ”

The beautiful woman asked suspiciously.

"You are so stupid, Ah Lang must be missing the ladies, or some girl I have seen before, could it be the princess of the Heling Kingdom."

Yuna said with a smile.

Ang Li smiled and said: "Who I think doesn't have much to do with this song, it's just to express a mood, it's that kind of special sad feeling, a very comfortable feeling of sadness." ”

"Injury, Ah Lang doesn't have to be like this! Are we not good at serving? ”

Yuna asked.

"Forget it, forget it, this is a realm, I told you, you don't understand, singing is a thing that belongs to the literary and artistic world, and you are too superficial."

Ang Lee doesn't plan to discuss the song with them, it's not a grade, no, it should be said that it's not a person of the same era, and the level of appreciation is completely different.

Therefore, this lonely song is only the taste of Ang Lee's loneliness.

"Alright! Since Ah Lang is lonely, then we will accompany Ah Lang tonight. ”

Yuna said shyly.

Also, Ang Lee doesn't know what's going on these days, he hasn't spoiled Yun'a and Beauty, and he rests alone every night, which makes these two a little lonely.

People need to recuperate, and the beauty of the night will become boring, and a few more days of rest will be more pleasant, and it will have the effect of winning the small.

"Haha! It's you two goblins who are lonely! Also, I didn't bring my wife with me this time, if I return to Chang'an City, I'm afraid I won't have much chance to pamper you, haha! ”

Ang Lee hugged left and right, so unhappy!

"Alang, let's go back to the cabin then!"

Yun'er smiled, already a little impatient.

"Let's go, Ah Lang will teach you a few new postures tonight, okay?"

Ang Lee smiled evilly.

"Good! All right! Ah Lang is the best, hee-hee! ”

After a few months of training, Yun'er is becoming less and less shy, becoming more and more amorous, and even learning to tease Ang Lee, which is also Ang Lee's favorite.

In the King City of Nantianzhu, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were treated with great courtesy, and the king and a large group of courtiers personally accompanied the banquet, and the attitude was extremely flattering, which seemed to be inferior.

As soon as the Datang officials were happy, they naturally drank a few more glasses, and they looked a little drunk, and they didn't know who they were.

"The envoy must stop in many countries along the way! I must have seen a lot of local customs. ”

Nantianzhu King Ero spoke.

As soon as the Datang officials were happy, they opened their mouths to boast about how much they had seen, and even, unconsciously, they told Datang's Belt and Road policy, of course, including many details, even the fight against piracy and the establishment of Datang counties in some areas.

The drunk Datang officials are talking about the sky, but they are generally facts, with a slight exaggeration.

From the words of the Tang officials, they learned about the strong combat effectiveness of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, they also understood the terms and conditions of cooperation between the Tang Dynasty and other countries, and the most shocking thing for them was that the Tang Dynasty was actually interested in overseas land, and actually established a number of county towns in Malacca, a region far from the mainland, and stationed soldiers and horses.

In this way, whether Datang will also have a demand for land here in Nantianzhu, and whether it will come to ask for land, this is a very important issue and must be paid attention to.

The drunken Tang officials soon fell, drunk and unconscious, snoring very loudly, while the monarchs and ministers of Nan Tianzhu gathered together to discuss.
