As Wang Haichong expected, leaving the Sumatran Thorn Kingdom and sailing southeast along the coastline of Jindao, the two small countries of the Orphan and the Li Dynasty were not only poor and had no ports, but their chieftains had never even heard of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Haichong was extremely disappointed and left, as for a freshly beaten python sent by the chief, Yu Hongqiang endured his disgust and refused, and ran back to the boat in three steps.

Zhang Qin did not get off the ship, so he did not encounter this embarrassment, and when Wang Haichong and Yu Hong returned disappointed, they knew that the decline was good, and they comforted the two with a smile, and ordered the fleet to march towards the country of Mulu.

The Mulu country is a small country surrounded by the Jindao group, and it is sometimes in danger of being destroyed by its neighbors. Naturally, like King Luo Yue, he submitted a credential to the Tang Emperor after returning to the Tang Dynasty to seek asylum.

It is impossible for Zhang Qin to present the letter of state of Nanyang Fanguo to His Majesty, and it is almost the same to hand it over to His Royal Highness King Yan. As for when His Highness raises troops to the south, he will take the opportunity to annex you or others, and I can't help it!

The expedition team left the Mulu country, and the next stop was one of the two powerhouses of Jindao, the former overlord of the South Seas, and the country of Mora Youguo, which had begun to decline in recent years.

Mo Luo You was one of the few countries in the Nanyang that sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute during the Zhenguan period.

When Zhang Qin and others pretended to be envoys and asked to visit King Moluoyou, they almost wore a goof, but fortunately, Wang Haichong's mouth passed by.

The lie is over, don't worry about everyone's lives being cut by King Moluoyou. However, the monarchs and ministers of Moluo You always treated Zhang Qin's fake Tang envoys with a suspicious attitude, and their attitude was not very friendly, and the food and accommodation arranged were better than those of the civilians of Moluoyou.

Wang Haichong, who was going to enjoy himself in Mo Luo You, sulked for a few days, and in his heart he remembered the Jun Luo You. Hate and said: "Dare to give Dao Ye a white eye? In the future, let you and others understand the interests of the Taoist. ”

Wang Haichong has been following unscrupulous masters at the bottom since he was a child, and he has always had to return the master who did not give them a good time.

A few years later, when returning to the Tang Dynasty from Tianzhu, the famous monk Yijing who passed by Mo Luo You, witnessed the massacre that took place in Mo Luo You. After all kinds of pleas, the person who ordered it could not be retracted, so he had to write down a scene that happened in the travelogue at the end of the Nanyang Buddhist Kingdom with grief. After returning to Middle-earth, a new round of Buddhism and Taoism was set off, and the two emperors were successfully involved, each supporting one religion and fighting the other.

After leaving Mora You, Zhang Qin was worried about whether he would continue to pretend to be a court court when he went to Sri Buddha's death, and he must know that Sri Buddha had sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute in the first year of Xianheng.

Wang Haichong said confidently: "The manager doesn't need to worry, there is a way to do it." ”

Zhang Qin was only a maritime merchant in Jiangnan Province, and he had never been to Chang'an, so he couldn't say anything about the affairs of the court, so he almost went to the gang in Moluoyou. Although Yu Hong has served in the Yan Wangfu for five or six years, he is still a confidant of the King of Yan, but a big man who dances knives and guns has no hope.

But who is Wang Haichong? When I was young, I followed the unscrupulous master to the north and south, and even broke through the palaces of the vassal kings in various places, of course, I did not deceive less. followed the master into the command of King Yan, in order to better fool the senior members of the court, but he followed the master to understand the situation in the court.

Drawing on the previous lesson, this time Wang Haichong played the role of the chief envoy, and Zhang Qin and Yu Hong played the role of deputy envoys, and popularized the situation of the next court and the central government to the two, so that the two would not be asked three questions and not know. When he left Mo Luoyou, he also bought a few pieces of fine silk from the Chinese merchants at a high price, which were almost the same as the cloth used by the imperial court to make official uniforms, and personally cut them into a set of official uniforms of the fifth grade and two sets of official uniforms of the sixth grade, and the rest of the people who dressed as followers did not need official uniforms.

Seeing Wang Haichong cutting clothes, Zhang Qin and Yu Hong were shocked.

Fortunately, the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty were not like the Ming Dynasty, which showed complex patterns on clothes, and only distinguished the official rank by color. Otherwise, Wang Haichong really couldn't rely on the cutting techniques he learned before and a few pieces of cloth to make a set of copycat official uniforms. As for official hats, in fact, civilians and officials wear similar ones, there is no logo at all, just turn your hat out and put it on.

Wang Haichong, who changed out of his robe and put on a self-made copycat version of his official uniform, and then glued a string of fake beards to his mouth, walked around in front of Yu Hong, Zhang Qin and others, and his official tone and revealed official authority were really the same thing.

It's a pity that Wang Haichong is not an official and goes to be a Taoist priest.

Wang Haichong, Zhang Qin, and Yu Hong appeared on the pier of Palembang, the capital of Sri Buddha's death, in majestic Tang official uniforms, and behind them were thirty warriors with tigers and bears, wearing armor and horizontal swords without squinting.

Wang Haichong and his entourage held their heads high, and everyone on the dock consciously made way for them.

The Tang Dynasty actually sent an envoy to Sri Buddha to pass away, and the Chinese businessmen present were excited and rushed to tell each other. It was agreed that they should find an opportunity to visit the envoys of the lower court and ask them to suggest to King Sri Buddha that their toll and port taxes be reduced.

The Sri Buddha, Tianzhu people, and Zhenla people in the port looked at Wang Haichong and his party who passed by them with blank faces, and talked about who these people were, and they were quite big.

The Sri Buddha deceased official at the port stepped forward to ask, Wang Haichong handed him a document, explained his intentions, and the accompanying translator immediately translated it into Sri Buddha's death words.

It turned out that it was an envoy from the Tang Dynasty who came, and the official casually pulled an entourage behind him and told him to report to the king quickly, and then respectfully led Wang Haichong and his party to the palace.

After Wang Haichong's careful packaging, although the deceased monarch and ministers of Sri Buddha wondered how the Tang State would suddenly send an envoy to come, they did not suspect that the Tang envoys in front of him were fake.

As a guest, delicious food and wine, beautiful maids, as long as the Tang envoy has needs, all of them will be satisfied.

made Wang Haichong and his party, who had been suffocated in Moluoyou not long ago, feel relieved.

The deceased official of Sri Buddha, who had been an envoy to the Tang Kingdom, also chatted with Wang Haichong in Chinese with great interest, and after a conversation, his admiration for Wang Haichong was overflowing.

"King Sri Buddha was quite generous."

Wang Haichong counted the gifts he received in front of him, his eyes lit up, he smiled, there were two hundred taels of gold alone, five hundred taels of silver, and a lot of Nanyang specialties.

There are also 50 treasures and two pearls of the South Seas, but this is given to the king and the queen by the deceased king of Sri Buddha at the suggestion of the minister who had sent an envoy to the Tang Kingdom.

The expedition that left Sri Buddha visited Tarama, which controlled the Sunda Strait, and the kingdom of Mataram and the kingdom of Kharing, on the island of Java. After each of the three countries received a batch of gifts that were neither too much nor too little, the expedition continued to sail eastward, but it passed through more than a dozen large and small islands along the way and did not encounter a single Fanguo, all of which were a group of wild men who drank blood. Further east, the island's inhabitants are dark-skinned, extremely ugly-looking, and small savages.

A panic gradually appeared in the expedition, and Zhang Qin also urgently convened a meeting to say that he could not go further east, and that after more than ten days of sailing eastward on Jawa Island, the sea area he passed through had never been heard of, and he would not know where to go if he continued to move forward.

Yu Hong, who is the deputy head of the expedition, said that he had no opinion, his heart has been furious for the past ten days, and Wang Haichong also agreed in addition to a little regret, after all, if he continues to sail to the east towards the unfamiliar sea, he may not be able to return to Datang.
