Li Su doesn't have much affection for Daozhao's group of people, in fact, he understands in his heart that he is somewhat narrow-minded and angry, and always feels that foreigners have bad intentions, especially this island country that is obedient on the outside and beasts on the inside, Li Su is even more disgusted.

Of course, disgust is disgust, in the case that others did not offend themselves, Li Su could not really order them to be killed, and they lived for two lifetimes, this sense is still there, not to mention, Daozhao They still have the identity of sending Tang envoys, this identity is official, and these Tang envoys are very popular with the monarchs and ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

Foreign countries sent students to study in the Tang Dynasty, this thing is particularly face-saving, the Japanese State from the Sui Dynasty began to send envoys into the Central Plains, from the first batch of historical records to send Sui envoys into the country until now, the previous Tang envoys are very popular with the Central Plains Dynasty monarchs and ministers, especially the Japanese people also pay special attention to the number of courtesies, no matter in front of anyone is bowing down, a very humble appearance, such an image fully satisfies the vanity of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, Therefore, the monarchs and ministers did not care how many things this seemingly humble people learned from the Central Plains or how many things they stole, but whenever they sent Tang envoys into the country, they were treated like state guests and were very polite.

Of course, Li Su also has this kind of vain mentality, but he has a deep wariness of sending Tang envoys. It is said that Dao Zhao and the others have always been respectful and respectful in front of him, and they can't find any mistakes in the number of etiquette, let alone do anything unfavorable to the Tang Sheji and the monarchs, however, Li Su still dislikes them, and has no reason to dislike them.

People live to a certain age, of course, they must be good at speaking and acting, from the perspective of personal heart, there will rarely be love and hate for no reason, Li Su has lived two lives, and basically maintains a normal heart for everything, and it is rare to treat people with this irrational disgust for no reason, but emotions are emotions, it comes from the heart, and Li Su can't help it.

Seemingly lying on the chair basking in the sun, Li Su squinted, letting Dao Zhao babble in his ear, like a reporter investigating the shady scene digging deep into everything about Li Su and Datang, Li Su absentmindedly maintained the most basic politeness, occasionally answering an innocuous word, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

After returning to Chang'an, we must advise Li Shimin that this group of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty should not be allowed to indulge, what to learn, how to learn, and to what extent they learn, not by them, but by the Tang Dynasty. There are some confidential things that are not allowed to be touched, such as gunpowder formulas, such as newly cultivated improved rice varieties in agriculture, and so on. Of course, if this group of Japanese people has a very strong desire for knowledge, throw them a lot of Buddhist scriptures, this doesn't matter, although learning, even copying, copying more Buddhist scriptures can dissolve the anger in the heart, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, which is very suitable for the national nature of the Japanese country.

Many thoughts turned in his head, but there was a voice of resentment in his ears.

"Why did Li Xiangong ignore the poor monks? The poor monk said so many words, how many times have you said two sentences, the poor monk has no other intentions, just a pure heart to learn......"

Li Su came back to his senses and looked at him blankly: "Huh? Did you just speak? What was said? ”

Dao Zhao froze, his expression became more and more grieved, and a sloppy foreign monk showed an aggrieved expression, the picture was simply spicy, Li Su suddenly wanted to slap him with the sole of his shoe, so that his facial expression would return to natural.

"The poor monk just said that when he heard about this Eastern Crusade, when His Majesty the Great Heavenly Khan attacked the city of Goguryeo, he used a very wonderful weapon, a black clay pot, which exploded when it was ignited, and the sound was like thunder in the nine heavens, and the mountain was torn apart, and the poor monk wanted to ask, what is this?" Dao Zhao stared at Li Su with blank eyes.

The corners of Li Su's eyes jumped, and he smiled quietly: "Are you interested in that small clay pot in our Datang?" ”

Dao Zhao was unconscious, and nodded violently as if the chicken was pecking rice.

Li Su smiled even brighter.

As soon as he thought of this, Dao Zhao immediately asked, the ignorant are fearless, this exotic monkey knows how sensitive the earth-shaking thunder is in the high-level of the Tang Dynasty, do you know that Li Ke, the king of Wu, was just wandering around the periphery of the firearms bureau, and was scolded by Li Shimin, and then driven out of Chang'an, and was recalled two years later, this topic is so sensitive at the top of the court, the courtiers and princes are secretive about it, and the monkey in front of him actually asked directly, if he doesn't pit him, Li Sudu felt sorry for his glorious nickname of "Chang'an little bastard".

"How did you know this little clay pot was so powerful?" Li Su asked pleasantly.

Li Su's expression and acting skills were so natural that Daozhao didn't notice any difference at all, and hurriedly said: "The poor monk has been bored in the camp of Silla for the past few days, so he walked around the camp and chatted with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and Silla, and then I heard that there is a small clay pot......

Li Su sighed, nodded, and then showed a mysterious appearance: "The rumors are true, this thing is indeed very powerful, if you have this artifact, you can destroy whoever you want, throw one into the dung pit of your palace, and the entire palace seems to rise from the ground and fly freely, don't you say it's amazing?" ”

Dao Zhao's eyes lit up, although Li Su used the dung pit of their palace to describe the power of the earth-shaking thunder, but this is not the point, the point is that it seems that the small clay pot in the Tang Dynasty is not very secret, and the Li County Duke in front of him can dig out his heart and lungs at any time to shake out its formula. Listening to the description of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, if the Wa Kingdom can have this artifact, it will be of great use to consolidate the royal power and stabilize the country, and if he gets this thing back, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Swallowing his saliva, the greed in Daozhao's eyes became heavier, and his expression was still humble: "This artifact is so powerful, I don't know what it was made of?" The poor monk was eager to learn, and he also asked Li County Gong to give advice. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "The power of this thing is huge, its formula is naturally secret, not modestly said, this thing was made by me, but my Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knows the power of this thing, His Majesty is worried that it will be used by people with evil intentions, and do evil things that hurt Sheji and Li Min, so he has issued a strict order, the secret recipe of this thing is not allowed to be said to the outside world, if there is a violation of the order, I will be beheaded ...... the first level."

Dao Zhao's expression suddenly turned into a piece of disappointment, and he said as if he had lost his soul: "In this way, the secret recipe of this thing cannot be obtained by poor monks......

Li Su smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Your Majesty's intention, this thing cannot be used for the people, otherwise the world will be in chaos, but Your Majesty has always been kind and courteous to you to send Tang envoys, Zhenguan for four years, the first batch of Tang envoys sent by your country came to my Tang Dynasty to study for a year, in that year, the Tang envoys were invited, Your Majesty agreed one by one, it can be said that there is a response, you want to learn anything, Your Majesty will satisfy you, presumably your second batch of Tang envoys will not be an exception, although I can't tell you the secret recipe, but there is still another way......"

Dao Zhao hurriedly said: "What is the way of Li County Gong?" Please also give advice, the poor monks are grateful. ”

Li Su's smile deepened, his expression was mysterious, and his tone was full of bewilderment: "When you enter Chang'an to meet Your Majesty, you can ask Your Majesty in person, a clay pot that can be fried, and it's not a big deal, what does it matter if you learn it, anyway, it is to take back your Wa Kingdom, even if your Wa State Lord blows up the entire Wa Kingdom, it will not have any impact on Datang, if you ask in person, Your Majesty will definitely not refuse......

Dao Zhao froze, and said, "Yes...... Is that the case? Can it really be? ”

Li Suzheng said: "Believe me, we Datang people are very hospitable and generous, just clay pots, what a pity." Sending Tang envoys has always been favored by the Tang monarchs and ministers, but if there is a request, His Majesty will definitely agree. ”

Li Su's expression was very sincere when he said this, and his originally handsome and white face revealed a frank gentleman's righteousness, Dao Zhao stared at Li Su's face stupidly for a long time, chewed Li Su's words back and forth several times in his mind, and finally nodded hesitantly.

The left and right are just to ask His Majesty the Heavenly Khan about the secret recipe for making the small clay pot, even if the Heavenly Khan does not agree, Dao Zhao has nothing to lose, if it doesn't work, it is impossible to be condemned by the Heavenly Khan because of a question, right?

"Thank you for the guidance of Li County, the poor monk will be rewarded in his lifetime." Dao Zhao saluted Li Su gratefully.

Li Su hugged him cordially, and said in a sincere tone: "Tang and Wei are two countries with a strip of water, good neighborliness and friendship, high monks don't have to be so polite, if you must repay, after arriving in Chang'an, find a way to make some money, I especially love this thing, remember to give gifts to their liking, remember to remember." ”

Dao Zhao's cheeks twitched, but he still responded very humbly.

Li Su looked at Daozhao's grateful face and couldn't help but smile.

After returning to Chang'an, if the monk in front of him really didn't know the secret recipe to Li Shimin for the thunder, I don't know what kind of posture Li Shimin would use to slap him hard? I'm looking forward to that picture......

More importantly, with Daozhao's request, Li Shimin was angry, and he must have been wary of sending Tang envoys, and he would not send Tang envoys to Chang'an to get what he wanted.

When a guest should have the appearance of being a guest, the host kindly invited you to be a guest, you can't just worry about the host's things, the host will steal if he doesn't give it, this is not called a guest, it is called a thief.

*************************************************************

Two days later, news finally came from the port of Jincheng in Silla, the fleet of sailors led by Zhang Liang had docked at the port of Jincheng, this time Zhang Liang was ordered to bring more than 100 warships, the purpose was to pick up Li Ji and Li Su's troops from the sea detour to Baekje, and finally return to the port of Dengju in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that the task of sniping at the enemy after the 20,000 light cavalry led by Li Ji and Li Su was completely completed, and at the cost of very few casualties, he not only attacked Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, but also stirred up the political situation of Goguryeo, and easily retreated to the territory of Silla, boarded the ship and calmly returned to China.

In general, Li Ji and Li Su have overfulfilled their tasks, and after returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin's reward will not be less.

Li Su didn't care about the reward, when he heard that Zhang Liang's sailor had docked, the first thought that came to his heart was that he could finally return to Datang, and finally be able to see his wife, children and father, and his longing for home was unprecedentedly strong at this moment.

After hearing the news, Li Ji immediately ordered the whole army to be reorganized and prepared to march to Jincheng Port.

The queen of Silla also heard the news, and hurriedly came to Li Ji's handsome tent in person, and officially handed over a letter of state to Li Ji in the capacity of the queen of Silla to His Majesty Tian Khan, the national letter is written in Chinese characters, I have to say that Silla also has extraordinary writers, and the beginning of the national letter is a large number of horses with infinite reverence and infinite admiration for His Majesty Tian Khan.

Of course, the national letter cannot be all sycophant articles, and it is always necessary to say something serious.

The queen's business is the matter of Li Su's proposal to lend weapons and armor to the Silla Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty is so generous, with a wave of his hand, he gave the queen enough weapons and armor to arm 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the Kingdom of Shangguo voted for it with peach and plum, and the queen wanted to repay it with Qiong Yao, but the Silla Kingdom was too poor, after all, it was difficult to survive in the gap between Goguryeo and Baekje all these years, and there were wars almost every year, and there was very little accumulation in the country, and there was nothing to repay the generosity and boldness of the Tang Dynasty, so Her Royal Highness the Queen gritted her teeth, It was decided to take one-third of the taxes paid by Silla every year to pay tribute to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, in return for the deep friendship that the Tang Dynasty lent to Silla weapons and armor.

Li Ji and Li Su carefully read the national letter, were silent for a moment, the two uncles and nephews exchanged glances with each other, and understood each other, and then Li Ji put away the national letter and promised the queen that after the 20,000 light horsemen of the department arrived at the port of Jincheng, they would unload all the weapons and armor and hand them over to the Silla army, as for the annual tribute of one-third of the tax promised by the Silla state, this ...... Of course, it is up to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan to decide, and Li Ji, as a courtier, cannot express any attitude.

It was Li Su, after reading the national letter, his first reaction was to raise the price, one-third was too little, at least half of it had to be taken, but thinking of the situation of Silla in the Liaodong Peninsula and the need for the Tang Dynasty to maintain the strategic balance between the three countries on the peninsula, Li Su still resisted the urge to raise the price.

The most annoying thing is to do business with poor ghosts, there is no way to negotiate at all, people have almost nothing, can they bear to rob the broken bowl they want to eat?

After receiving Li Ji's promise, the queen left happily, and earnestly expressed her willingness to personally escort the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to Jincheng Port to show the respect of the Silla Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ji thanked him noncommittally, hehe, pretending not to know that Her Royal Highness the Queen was actually staring at the weapons and armor in the hands of the Tang Army soldiers, for fear that after arriving at Jincheng Port, Li Ji suddenly suffered from amnesia and forgot to leave the weapons and armor.

It's good to be polite to each other, hello and me, it's okay to pretend to be polite, at least the atmosphere is very harmonious, Li Su likes this kind of harmonious atmosphere, the root cause of the chaos in the world is that they are too upright with each other, and a few words of fake politeness can at least reduce more than eighty percent of the war of mankind.

Assemble the army, prepare the horses, pack the bags. Outside the Silla camp, 20,000 light horsemen lined up neatly, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Homesick people, is Li Su alone? Everyone has returned to their hearts.

The warm sun above his head sprinkled on his body, and a vigorous joy like spring arose, Li Ji looked at the soldiers in front of him who were under endless black pressure, and his always serious cheeks couldn't help but smile a little, and then waved his hand.

"Soldiers, let's go home!"
