Monobe Kazuki said unceremoniously: "This is not trusting me, what is your Highness afraid of, am I not here too?" ”

Faced with Monobe Kazuki's questioning, Wang Xuance was not in a hurry, he took out a telegram, saying that Monobe Kazuki said: "You can take a look at this first." ”

Kazuki Monobe took the telegram and felt a little puzzled, because the message was sent by Taro Monobe, and it is said that the telegram given to him by Taro Monobe should have been sent directly to Kazuki Monobe himself, and I don't know why it was sent to Wang Xuance first.

In a telegram, Taro Monobe said, "Father, the retainers believe that the empress and others are not sincere in treating you well, and there are all kinds of signs that there is a huge conspiracy hidden in this. In order not to jump to conclusions, the retainers have sent Hosaku to Fujiwara-kyo, and they will secretly monitor the movements of the Japanese slaves, and if they find any changes in them, they will report to you immediately.

For your safety, I ask my father to cooperate with Prince Peidilan and others. Erchen bowed his head. ”

After reading Taro Monobe's call, Kazuki Monobe was still a little dissatisfied, and he said, "What is the conspiracy, why didn't I see it?" ”

Wang Xuance said: "I talked to you last time, saying that the empress and others will not let you become a powerful minister like the new Su and I, you just don't believe it, let me tell you this, if my prince is gone, the empress will be the first to deal with you."

Therefore, the prince of my family cannot personally take risks, as long as he is safe, you will be safe, and you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the court of the Japanese slave country. ”

Kazuki Monobe still couldn't listen, and he was now impressed by the sincere performance of the empress and others. In fact, this is not to say that he is not shrewd enough, but because he is a native of the Japanese slave country, and his ancestors are the big people who dominate the country in the Japanese slave country, and he wants to restore the glory of his ancestors too much, and he is emotionally willing to believe in the sincerity of the empress and others.

Wang Xuance was also a little annoyed in his heart, he tried his best to be patient and said: "In any case, after exposing the identity of the fake prince, the first person who will lose face is Your Majesty, if you want to be a minister here in peace and security, and sign the agreement smoothly, isn't it very beneficial to you?" ”

Wang Xuance said very reasonably, Li You came to the Japanese slave country for the sake of the face of Monobe Yimu, if the empress and others knew that there was a fake Li You, his face would really not be able to get down.

Although Monobe Kazuki is not ashamed of the behavior of Li You and others, but now, he has no choice but to pinch his nose and cooperate with Pei Dilan and others.

He said angrily: "You, really, the dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, do your best to engage in some crooked ways. ”

Wang Xuance knew that he agreed, so he didn't care about his attitude, returned to his residence, and sent a telegram to Li You.

Pei Dilan and his party passed through Kitakyushu and entered the Japanese slave country from Shimonoseki, and along the way, a large number of spies monitored their movements and reported their movements to the eldest brother prince at any time.

Several assassination schemes were designed for Li You, the eldest brother and the prince.

They considered intercepting them on the road. On the way of Li You and others, ambushing heavy troops, this method is simple and easy, and it is very convenient to mobilize troops.

The disadvantage is that the Flying Tiger Army of the Tang Dynasty is strong, although there are only 500 people, it is not easy to annihilate it quickly. It is also possible that they will seize a favorable terrain on the battlefield and hold on to help. The Tang Dynasty had a radio station, a strong navy, and relatively quick reinforcements, so it was very likely that it would fail.

They studied for a long time and decided to wait until Li You and the others entered Fujiwara Kyo, and then surrounded them with heavy troops on the periphery and caught turtles in the urn. When the time comes, take advantage of the opportunity to entertain Li You and the others or sign an agreement to separate Li You and the others from the Flying Tiger Army, and kill them as they did with Su Ijinlu.

The eldest brother and prince learned the lesson of the assassination of Su Wu in the deer last time, personally arranged the troops, considered all kinds of possible problems, and made a plan.

Fujiwarakyo was built in imitation of Chang'an Castle in the Tang Dynasty, and the pattern is roughly similar, but since the Japanese slave country was an island country, there was no need to consider foreign invasions, so no walls were built. In order to ensure that Li You and the others could not escape, the eldest brother and the prince transferred more than 8,000 people from the area near Fujiwara-kyo, bringing the number of troops to 20,000 to deal with Li You and others, forming a tight encirclement outside Fujiwara-kyo.

As long as Li You and the others enter Fujiwara Kyo, they must be unable to escape.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for Li You and the others to arrive.

The eldest brother of the prince knew that the Tang Dynasty and the Kyushu people would have a fine work in Fujiwara Kyo, and in order to keep it secret, the main forces did not enter Fujiwara Kyo at this time, but were only on standby dozens of miles away from Fujiwara Kyo. They have done a good job of secrecy, and so far, Wang Xuance and Monobe Kazuki have not seen anything wrong.

On this morning, Pei Dilan and the others finally arrived, and the eldest brother, the prince and others, took Fujiwara Kyo's civil and military officials and some ordinary people to Suzaku Street to greet them. Kazuki Monobe and others also came over to greet Li You and the others.

The eldest brother looked at the group of people and horses that were approaching in the distance, and said curiously to the middle minister: "I have been famous for a long time about this prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I am really a little curious." ”

"Yes, I have read his poems, and his talent is indeed amazing. ”

Soga Ishikawa Ma didn't think so, he said in his heart: "A dying person, what is there to be curious about." ”

The team of the Tang Dynasty mission finally arrived, and walking in front of the team was a big cannibal with a wrapped head on his head and a high nose and deep eyes, which should be Prince Pei Dilan, but he only saw him alone, and it was said that Li You should be with him.

The eldest brother and prince suddenly felt a little worried, and the same was true for the middle minister, the two glanced at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and they said in their hearts: "That Li You won't not come, right?" ”

Wang Xuance rushed up to greet him, talked with Pei Dilan for a few words, and then walked over with him.

Wang Xuance introduced Pei Dilan and the eldest brother prince and others, and saw the puzzled expression of the eldest brother and prince, and took the initiative to say: "My prince occasionally feels cold on the road, and it is inconvenient to meet you for the time being, please understand." ”

Although the eldest brother and the others did not see Li You, they knew that he was coming, and the stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

Monobe Yimu said in his heart: "What do you feel cold, your heart is weak, you don't dare to come out to meet people." ”

However, he felt that it was better to do this, so as not to let himself act, which would be too embarrassing.

At this moment, from the gorgeous carriage in front of them, a beautiful woman in a kimono came down and walked towards them, and she saluted to Monobe Kazuki and said, "I have seen my father. ”

The eldest brother knows who she is, this is Li You's concubine, Kumiko, the daughter of Monobe Kazuki. Since Jiumiko is here, Li You must also be here. Now, their hearts are more steady.

After Wang Xuance introduced Jiumeizi to them, the eldest brother said, "I don't know how sick His Royal Highness the Northwest King is, can I pay a visit?" ”

Jiumiko said generously: "Thank you for your concern, please come with me." ”

Jiumiko took the eldest brother prince and others to the carriage, she personally lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said, "Lord, His Royal Highness the eldest brother prince has come to visit you." ”

The eldest brother, the prince and the others looked into the carriage together.
