Chapter 645: Sending Tang Envoys
I saw that on the official road where people came and went, a group of people with obviously different clothes from the Central Plains were slowly moving forward, and I saw that these people were all wearing short clothes, very short, but they were wearing a tall pointed hat, and their appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Tang people, but they were all black and thin, and they looked like natives on the other side of the South Seas.

"This ...... Are these the Wa people? Li Xiu looked at the strange group of people in front of him and couldn't help but say to himself in surprise, when the bearded guest was in Zhuzi Island before, there were a lot of Japanese people under him who worked for him, so Li Xiu had also seen Japanese people before, but he didn't care about it at the time, but now he saw so many Japanese people in Chang'an at once, is this a little strange?
"Hey, the colt is really well-informed, and even the widows know it?" At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was walking next to Li Xiu on a horse, couldn't help but shout in surprise, listening to his tone, it seemed that he also recognized these widows.
"Oh? The eldest grandson also knows these widows? Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised again when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he had been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, and he had only seen a few Japanese people around the bearded guest, although Chang'an was full of Hu people, but he had never seen a Japanese person openly walking on the street, Li Xiu estimated that the exchange between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese State had not yet begun at this time, so it was a little strange that the eldest grandson Wuji could know the Japanese people.
"Hehe, I didn't know any Japanese people, but before the southern coast sent a message, saying that a group of Japanese people arrived in my Tang Dynasty by boat, hoping to enter Beijing to meet Your Majesty, this is also the first time that the Japanese sent envoys to my Tang Dynasty, at that time I saw the patterns of those Japanese people, so when I saw this group of people just now, I recognized their identities." The eldest grandson Wuji explained with a smile at this time, this was already before he went to Dingxiang, but he didn't expect to meet these widows when he came back this time.
"I see, I didn't expect the Wa Kingdom to send an envoy." Li Xiu also said thoughtfully when he heard this, if he didn't guess wrong, the group of Japanese people in front of him should be the so-called Tang envoys, but except for a few guys who looked like civil officials, most of them were armed guards, and they didn't see the kind of foreign students and monks recorded in the history books.
In fact, what Li Xiu didn't know was that the Japanese sent people to the Tang Dynasty to study and exchange on a large scale, mainly after the battle of Baijiangkou between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese State, and the Liu Renliang recommended by Li Xiu defeated the Japanese people in this battle, which also made the Japanese finally face up to their own dispatch with the Tang Dynasty, and then sent a large number of people to learn from the Tang Dynasty.
"Hehe, donkey, you see that these Japanese people are short, and the country is also very small, but these Japanese people are still very arrogant, in the former Sui Dynasty, the national letter sent by the Japanese envoy actually had the words 'The Son of Heaven at Sunrise to the Book Day is not harmed', and even put the little Japanese king in the same position as the Emperor of the Central Plains, which can make Yang Guang angry, but at that time, Yang Guang's attention was all on Goguryeo, and the Japanese State was lonely overseas, difficult to attack, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them!" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled at this time and pointed to the widow in front of him.
"Hehe, Yelang is just arrogant, and you don't have to take it to heart about a mere Wa country, in the past, my eldest uncle lived on an island next to the Wa country, where there were many Wa people, according to him, the strength of the Wa country is not strong, at most it is about the same as Silla and Baekje." Li Xiu also smiled when he heard this, he had asked the bearded guest about the situation of the Wa Kingdom before, so he also had some understanding.
"That's true, but look at these Japanese people, when they came, those magistrates didn't even prepare a horse for them, and they let them come to Chang'an on foot, it seems that they don't have a good impression of these Japanese people!" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the widow in front of him again and said with a smile.
When Li Xiu heard this, he realized that these Japanese people really didn't ride horses, and even the few Japanese who walked in the middle and looked like envoys were walking on foot, which made him laugh dumbly, it seems that the Tang people don't have a good impression of the Japanese country, which is an arrogant small country.
The Japanese people in front of them had no horses, but Qin Qiong and they were all cavalry, so they quickly caught up with the ranks of these Japanese people, and the surrounding caravans saw the army coming, and they all dodged one after another, but these Japanese people didn't know if they were arrogant, or they didn't know the army of the Tang Dynasty, so they blocked the road and refused to give way.
Although the official road is very wide, there are also a lot of people in the Japanese team, and they are blocked tightly at once, and the army of the Tang Dynasty has never given people the habit of giving way, sometimes the two armies meet on the road, and they may fight because of the problem of giving way, after all, these Qiu Ba Ke are not convinced, unless your fist is harder than his.
It is precisely because of this that the cavalry in front did not slow down at all, and rushed up on horseback, and as a result, these widows were frightened and hurriedly flashed to both sides, and some people were even knocked down by the horses because they couldn't dodge, which also frightened many people to roll directly on the ground, which dodged the horse's hooves.
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of these widows, the cavalry on the horse all laughed heartlessly, although Qin Qiong didn't like his soldiers to disturb the people, but seeing that these people were not Tang people, and they also took the initiative to block their way, so he didn't bother to care, this point is very similar to Li Xiu, as long as he is not the people of the Tang Dynasty, whether he is dead or alive will not be taken to heart.
Qin Qiong's cavalry rushed over, leaving behind a group of embarrassed Japanese people, and these Japanese people didn't dare to scold at first, until Li Xiu and they all ran away, then they scolded a few words in Japanese language, Li Xiu They couldn't hear it at all, in fact, even if they heard it, it was useless, because they didn't understand Japanese language at all.
Encountering the Japanese is just a small thing, everyone did not take this matter to heart, except for Li Xiu, he has been thinking about the impact of the Japanese people sent to send Tang envoys, according to the eldest grandson Wuji, this is the first time that the Japanese sent Tang envoys, although the number is not large, but thinking of the future Japanese sent a large number of Tang envoys, from the Central Plains to learn many aspects of knowledge, also had a huge impact on the Japanese country, which made him feel very uncomfortable, after all, the two countries in later generations have a common enmity, even if he crossed, this hatred will not be easily forgotten.
Li Xiu was thinking about sending Tang envoys, and the team was getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, and when he was still ten miles away from the city gate, he saw a huge team appear in front of him, and it was Li Shimin who personally went out of the city to greet him!
