Chapter 608: The Soldiers Are in Danger
Seeing that Wang Pu was silent, Gu Luozhi stared at his expression, and the two guards behind him also put their hands on the hilt of the knife, once Wang Pu said the word 'no', it would inevitably be a knife in his hand and die on the spot.
Wang Pu noticed this detail, but he pretended not to see it, and said with a smile: "So, Your Excellency is already a ......."
Gu Luozhi was not ashamed, and said: "Envoy, Zhenla also reads the book of the sages of the Central Plains, there is a sentence in it, I think it is very reasonable, it is called the person who knows the times as a handsome man, a good life, it is a pity to die in vain, is the envoy right?" β
Wang Pu knew that Gu Luozhi's answer was a threat, so he smiled and said, "Your Excellency really knows the culture of the Central Plains very well, and even knows this sentence. Yes, that's a good word indeed. After a pause, Wang Pu said: "Okay, I agreed to your request, but you also need to promise me one thing." β
Lonely and overjoyed, how to deal with the Tang envoy is a major matter for King Linyi. Li Tang swept away all the anti-kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and destroyed the powerful Turks, and all kinds of news had already reached Linyi. Lin Yi was conquered by the Sui generals decades ago, and the whole country was already afraid, in the face of a Tang Dynasty that was better than the former Sui army, is it possible to say that you are not afraid?
These days, the king of Linyi consulted with his ministers, but he did not come up with a result. If he does this, he will be rewarded by the king of Linyi, and the high-ranking officials will be just around the corner. If he can promote the diplomatic relations between Lin Yi and Datang, then it is not unexpected!
Gu Luozhi immediately said: "The envoy, please speak, no matter what, I will give the king and do it for the envoy." β
"We are ordered by the emperor to return to Chenla with the prince of motorcycles. Now the situation has changed, Zhenla has been destroyed, but if there is no prince of motorcycles, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to explain to Your Majesty when I go back, I wonder if I can hand over the prince of motorcycles to me, so that I can wait to go back to my life? β
"This ......" Gu Luozhi frowned, this request, no need to ask, King Linyi will definitely not agree.
Wang Pu had already guessed, but he still asked, "What, can't you?" Or is the Prince of Motorcycles dead? β
"Ah, it's not deadβ" Gu Luozhi sighed and said, "I won't hide it from my envoy until now." When the army of Linyi broke through the city, the royal family of Zhenla, except for the female dependents, all the men had been executed by the king. But this move caused a popular uprising, and because of the anger of the people, the king did not intend to kill the prince of motorcycles, but wanted-"
Wang Pu interrupted Gu Luozhi's words and said, "I understand what you mean, so we can't take him away?" β
Gu Luozhi was silent for a moment and said, "I can't take it away." β
Wang Pu didn't force it, and said, "If you can't take it away, can you meet you?" We are on the orders of the emperor, and we have to have a receipt. When you see the Prince of Motorcycles, make sure he's alive, and ask him to write a letter in his hand, so that we can also make a difference. β
Seeing what Gu Luozhi was going to say, Wang Pu said again: "Oh, if you don't worry, you can supervise." β
Gu Luozhi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then obey the envoy, and tomorrow I will bring the prince of motorcycles." β
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, someone spoke, and the two looked over and saw Li Chongyi walking over. Seeing Li Chongyi, who was two feet tall, Gu Luozhi subconsciously took two steps back, for fear that he would suddenly burst out and hurt his own life. Li Chongyi beckoned, Wang Pu leaned over, Li Chongyi whispered a few words to him, Wang Pu looked at Li Chongyi, and returned to Guluozhi.
"You go and tell your king that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is not more than ten thousand miles, and small countries like Linyi, Funan, and Zhenla, the three kingdoms are combined, and the distance between the north and the south is only thousands of miles, which is really too small. In such a small place, who is the king, Datang doesn't care at all, you don't want to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, worrying about what disadvantages Datang will have for you, to put it bluntly, you are not qualified enough. If it weren't for the strange rice seeds you have here, we wouldn't have come. But since we came, things have to be done enough, just now we are making a statement, whether it is Linyi or Zhenla, what we want is rice seeds, just give rice seeds, the Tang Dynasty will inherit the same love for anyone, and the national letter for whom it will be changed is also the same. It's time to prepare, tomorrow we will see your king, and we can't be sent away!. β
"I'm afraid...... That's not what we just said, Envoy. β
Wang Pu frowned: "Could it be that Lin Yi wants to be rude to Datang?" You can also see, I am not the main envoy, I am only the deputy envoy, and the envoy has spoken, do I dare to say no? As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "It's not that you haven't seen it, the temper we are making is not good, you don't want to die, I want to die!" β
"This ......" Gu Luozhi glanced at Li Chongyi, and he was also scared in his heart, so he had to agree hard, and said: "I understand it, and I will try my best to promote it." β
"Very well, please come back."
Lonely and left worriedly, Wang Pu pulled Li Chongyi back to the lobby, confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, and said hurriedly: "Why are you so bold, this kind of idea can also be beaten?" β
"My eldest brother told me that if you don't have the guts, how can you achieve great things? I've been eavesdropping for a long time, and now the biggest one on the other side is the king of Linyi, as long as we arrest him, everyone else will have to listen to us, whoever dares not listen, I will pinch him to death, and everyone will break up! β
Wang Pu complained bitterly, patted his thigh and said, "You, who did you learn from here, how can you play with your life at every turn?" You don't want to live, I still want to live! β
"Naturally, I learned it from my eldest brother!" Li Chongyi said: "My eldest brother is a big husband who stands up to the heavens and the earth, and he will never be subservient to anyone. If my eldest brother were here, he would definitely do the same, you don't need to say more. Tomorrow I will wear armor, and you will wear my leather armor in your clothes, so that the sword will have no eyes, and I will not take care of you when I fight. β
Wang Pu couldn't cry or laugh: "Your leather armor is so big, who can wear it?" Alright, big man, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just do it. β
Li Chongyi didn't say anything more, dropped a sentence and went to talk to Chongyi and left.
Wang Pu sighed, but there was nothing he could do, so he returned to his room with a full of sorrow. On the other hand, Guluo Zhi went back to see the king of Linyi and explained the request of the Tang envoy, and the king of Linyi summoned the ministers to discuss it overnight. Some people say that they are afraid of fraud, while more people are optimistic, they believe what Wang Pu said, for Datang, small countries like Linyi, Zhenla, and Funan are indeed not worth mentioning. It's just right that people don't care, and they can't help but think too highly of themselves if they care.
And now in the welcome building, Tang Envoy and his entourage add up to only a dozen people, even if there is fraud, where can they be cheated? But if you don't give Tang this face, you will offend the Tang Dynasty, and Lin Yi will probably have to replicate the scene of being conquered by the former Sui decades ago, and become a county of the Tang Dynasty again!
After thinking about it, King Linyi made a decision to see the Tang envoy tomorrow and exchange his credentials!
