Chapter 357: Return to the Dynasty

The royal city is also brightly lit, every household is lit up, just looking at the scene in front of him, there is really a little bit of Chang'an's demeanor, Li Xiaogong also saw the novelty along the way, when he saw the palace, he laughed out loud.

The palace of this Japanese kingdom is not even comparable to his palace in terms of scale, such a small mansion can actually become a palace, Shu Ming doesn't understand why Li Xiaogong is smiling so happily, but Su Bai understands, because when he first saw this 'palace', he had the same idea as Li Xiaogong, and such a big mansion was actually a palace? However, after seeing those 'castles', it is not surprising that this is the 'Imperial Palace'.

Su Bai walked in front of Li Xiaogong, made a gesture of please, and said, "Lord Wang, the wine and food are ready," Li Xiaogong smiled, "Do you have a burning knife?" Su Bai shook his head and smiled, "But no, when the army is marching and fighting, naturally it will not bring wine." It's all home-brewed sake from this projectile land, and after distillation, it can be swallowed."

Li Xiaogong laughed when he heard this, "Then Wushuang Hou, you have to give me the method, otherwise the old man is on this island, I'm afraid there will be no fun at all, and the old man will be bored to death."

Su Bai smiled and nodded, "It's just some small means, since the prince likes it, there is nothing to do" The two of them were humble to me, and finally walked into the 'palace' hand in hand, in order to welcome Li Xiaogong, Su Bai instructed the cook to make more than forty dishes in a row.

The resources of the Wa country are quite abundant, especially fish, and at least half of the meals on a table are fish. After Li Xiaogong sat down, Su Bai sat down, and after seeing the two of them sit down, Shu Ming sat down with some trepidation.

Of all the people present, only these three people can be qualified to sit next to this table, Li Xiaogong picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the fish belly, gently put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it for a while before chuckling and said, "I patronized the road this way, but I haven't tasted such delicious food for a long time."

When this sentence was spoken, the atmosphere in Datang relaxed, and Su Bai also took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth and said, "Then I want to eat more, you are taking the way you came, I am walking the way back, the journey is the same, I am afraid that it will be a long time without knowing the taste of meat."

Li Xiaogong laughed when he heard this, and Shu Ming on the side also laughed with the embarrassment, that is, how embarrassing the laughter sounded.

Yuan Hong had already told Shu Ming to let Shu Ming prepare, and when Wushuang Hou left, he would also go with him, although Shu Ming had already prepared in his heart, but when he heard the news, his heart still jumped.

He's worried!

It's also human nature, the fear of the unknown, he doesn't know what he's going to face. Go to see the Tang Emperor, what will the Tang Emperor do with him? Although the Marquis of Wushuang said before that as long as he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, his glory and wealth could be preserved, but now look at this Wa country! Without him, it is thriving, how can this reassure him?

If you want to live, if you want to live better, you must first be useful to this person! Now what is the use of himself to Wushuang Hou and Datang? In just half a year, all the people of the Wa Kingdom only recognized the Wushuang Marquis, but not him, the former Emperor Shuming!

Even if he died, I believe no one would notice. Now the only ones who have not been assimilated by the Tang Dynasty are those rebels. But it's a pity that those rebels don't want to save themselves, and even more than the Tang people, they want to kill themselves! They thought that they had betrayed the Wa Kingdom and gave it to the Tang Dynasty! But what can he do? Just like Wushuang Hou said, even if he doesn't agree, won't the Tang Dynasty control the Wa Kingdom? Instead, he took his own life! People have already died enough, so why sacrifice their lives?

Just when he was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt that someone gave him a back, and he trembled in fright, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the personal guard of Wushuang Hou, who seemed to be called Yuan Hong. Seeing him staring at him with an unkind face, Shu Ming was a little stunned, he didn't know how he offended the person in front of him.

"Lord Shu Ming, the prince is asking you, at this time in a daze, I'm afraid it's a little rude."

Before he could figure it out, Su Bai's cold voice sounded behind him. When he heard Su Bai's voice, he trembled again, cold sweat even flowed from his forehead, and his body turned his head a little stiffly.

I saw that Su Bai and Li Xiaogong had put down their chopsticks, and both of them stared at them intently. Shu Ming was frightened, hurriedly stood up and said, "Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang is rude, please punish the two adults!" ”

Su Bai and Li Xiaogong still didn't speak, just stared at Shu Ming's eyes, and when the cold sweat on Shu Ming's forehead was about to catch up with the waterfall, Su Bai smiled and said, "Lord Shu Ming, don't be so nervous, the prince just asks you, what do you think of the current situation of the people of the Japanese Kingdom?"

When Shu Ming heard this, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "No, no, Xiao Wang doesn't have any opinions, thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun's grace!" Su Bai laughed and said, "Lord Shuming, we will be a family in the future, what do you think, but it's okay to say, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang doesn't dare!"

Li Xiaogong also laughed, walked in front of Shu Ming, helped Shu Ming up, looked back at Su Bai and said, "Tell him, don't kneel down without moving, the size is also the monarch of a country, what does it look like"

Su Bai smiled and translated the words to Shu Ming, Shu Ming wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Wang" The ghost king army and Li Xiaogong's guards around him also forced a smile when they saw that the dignified monarch had now become like this.

At this dinner, Su Bai and Li Xiaogong both ate very happily, but Shu Ming, no matter what kind of delicious food they ate, they could only taste the bitter taste.

Since Li Xiaogong is here, he naturally wants to sleep in the main hall! It was originally Shu Ming's residence, but when Su Bai came, it became Su Bai's residence, and now that Li Xiaogong is here, Su Bai naturally has to let it out.

Su Bai didn't want to let those imperial historians catch him after returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiaogong was not polite, he fell asleep when he entered the room, and he was also tired of running along the way.

Su Bai didn't let Shu Ming leave the room again, he just found a room and fell asleep, didn't he have to suffer it when he was sleeping in the Turkic pillow wind and snow before? It's nice to have a place to live now.

Speechless all night

When he woke up the next morning, Li Xiaogong had already woken up, and he was dancing a horizontal knife in the courtyard, which could be called a tiger! After Su Bai looked at it for a while, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and applaud gently.

Hearing the sound, Li Xiaogong looked back, and when he saw that it was Su Baihou, he put away his posture and smiled, "Why did you get up so early?" Su Bai smiled and said, 'I'm used to it'. Li Xiaogong chuckled and said, "I still have to work hard today, and the Marquis of Wushuang will take me around, this country is the same as this," Su Bai nodded and smiled, "That's natural."

After the two of them simply ate a bite of breakfast, Su Bai took Li Xiaogong to turn around in the country, and the country said that it was not big, but it was not small, at least the two of them could not finish it in ten days and half a month. Su Bai didn't plan to take him around the end, but took him around in several relatively large veins and workshops. But that's it, and it took the two of them a full five days!

After the transfer is over, that is, when Su Bai is about to set off.

These days, a lot of things have also been prepared, a total of fifteen ships, ten of which are pulling gold, silver, copper and iron, and the remaining five are used for the ghost king army.

That morning, before the sun rose, Su Bai had already come to the port with all the ghost king army, Li Xiaogong came earlier than Su Bai, carrying a wine jar in his hand, after seeing Su Bai coming, he shook the wine jar in his hand with a smile and said, "This is the burning knife that the old man brought in Chang'an, after coming to the Wa Kingdom, there is such an altar left, which is just right to see you off!" ”

Su Bai laughed and said, "The prince is so unhappy, I didn't take it out before I had this kind of good wine," Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "If you take it out earlier, what will you see off now?" ”

Su Bai also smiled and said, "In this way, I really want to thank the prince" The two looked at each other and smiled, the guard behind Li Xiaogong handed over two big wine bowls, and Li Xiaogong personally poured two bowls of wine.

Su Bai took one of the wine bowls, Li Xiaogong grabbed the other one, and after the two touched the wine bowls, Li Xiaogong said with a straight face, "Wushuang Hou is for the people and the country!" Now that the dynasty is still in the court, this king wishes the Marquis Wushuang to return to the dynasty and become an official! Good luck! ”

Su Bai also said with a straight face: "Thank you! ”

After drinking the wine in the bowl, the two of them slammed the wine bowl in their hands to the ground and shattered it into countless pieces. Su Bai arched his hand at Li Xiaogong and said, "Lord Wang! Wang is going to the mountains and rivers for a long time, and I don't know when the next time we meet, so I ask the prince to take care of his body, and the next time they meet, they can still drink like this with the prince! ”

Li Xiaogong smiled and nodded, "That's natural, the old man heard that the first batch of burning knives brewed by you and Cheng Lao Pifu back then were buried, saying that the older the year, the better it tastes, and the old man is very worried."

The two laughed again, the morning sun finally rose, and the first rays of sunlight shone on Su Bai's body, and Su Bai saluted again, "Lord Wang!" Farewell! ”

"Have a safe journey!"

Su Bai smiled and nodded, turned over on the war horse, waved his hand behind him, and said, "Ghost King Army!" Homecoming! ”

A roar of horses' hooves sounded, and Su Bai took the Ghost King Army onto the Tiance Treasure Ship, and when the Tiance Treasure Boat came back, it was the army that sent Li Xiaogong to stay in Dengzhou.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, July 15, the Midyear Festival

On such a day, Su Bai landed after a long absence, and Cheng Yanjin came to pick him up in person...... He...... His cargo!

This old guy didn't even look at Su Bai, Su Bai was still a little moved when he got off the deck and saw Cheng Yanjin, and he said in his heart that he was worthy of his maternal uncle, and he came to greet him in person. Su Bai made a gesture of hugging with both hands, thinking about hugging Cheng Yanjin, but saw Cheng Yanjin directly stretch out his hand and hold Su Bai's head, directly 'stunned' him to the side, and then walked to the rest of the big ships without looking back and asked This time you didn't come back empty-handed, right?

The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched, he really wanted to slap himself hard, why did he not have a long memory? Is this old guy that kind of emotional person? I thought he would come to pick him up, this old man obviously wanted to see if he brought gold and silver back!

Seeing that Su Bai didn't answer his words, and still kept his back to him with that stupid look of hugging, Cheng Yanjin walked back, stretched out his arm to clamp Su Bai's neck and said, "What are you in a daze?" The old man asks you! Didn't come back empty-handed this time! ”

Su Bai hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no, empty-handed, the little nephew has captured the king of the Wa Kingdom back!" ”

Cheng Biting Jin snorted disdainfully and said, "Phew! How much can you sell for that donkey day? The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched fiercely, he is also the god of the Tang Dynasty, you look at Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, you are looking at this old thing in front of you, it is really the same rice and a hundred kinds of people!

Cheng Yanjin seemed to feel that something was wrong with Dao Su Bai's eyes, and he pinched Su Bai's neck fiercely and asked, "What is your expression?" Well? Could it be that he looks down on the old man? ”

"No, no, no, the little nephew, uncle let go, how can you say that the little nephew is also a general, don't stand in front of my subordinates!"

Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly when he heard this, turned his head and glared at Yuan Hong and Wu Shi, and said, "Didn't you hear what your Hou Ye said?" Turn your head around! Yuan Hong and Master Wu honestly turned their heads over, and the corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched again, did he mean that?

Cheng Biting Jin added a little more strength, Su Bai hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, this time the little nephew brought back ten ships of supplies", Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up, then he let go of his hand, rubbed Su Bai's head and asked, "Good boy, I didn't disappoint the old man, what did you bring back this time?" ”

Su Bai smiled and said, "Three million taels of silver, the rest is all copper and iron", Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand and said, "Okay, just send these to the Dengzhou treasury!" The corners of Su Bai's mouth twitched again, and then he leaned in front of Cheng Yanjin and said, "Uncle, eating is so ugly, if you let Your Majesty know, will you still have good fruits to eat?" ”

Cheng Biting Jin gave Su Bai a fierce tremor and said, "What are you talking about!" Is the old man like that? This is all agreed by His Majesty, and it is the material used to build the Tiance Treasure Ship! ”

Su Bai's neck shrank, and he laughed embarrassedly twice, and while the two were talking, the ghost king army also got off the ship one after another, and there were only some sailors on the boat. Cheng Chumo also escorted Shu Ming down.

After the father and son met, they didn't speak, and after Cheng Yanjin glanced at Cheng Chumo, his eyes looked elsewhere, but Su Bai could clearly feel that Cheng Yanjin's muscles that were still tense before eased up.

Su Bai didn't dismantle him, turned back to Cheng and shouted silently, "Brother, you invite Lord Shu Ming to my house first, you are tired from running around all the way, presumably Lord Shu Ming is also tired, let's rest for two days and go back to Chang'an!" ”

"Yes!".

Cheng Chumo agreed, and said "Father, the child is back" when he was biting Jin's side on the way.

Cheng Yanjin nodded lightly and said, "It's good to come back."
