On a coast, Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi were lying comfortably on the recliner under the shade of the trees, drinking chilled coconut water and blowing the warm sea breeze.

"His Royal Highness the King of Lanling of the Tang Dynasty, this is really a big misunderstanding, we thought it was a big pirate, or we wouldn't dare to attack the Tang Heavenly Soldiers if we didn't have the courage to do it!"

Drinking all the chilled coconut water in the glass in one gulp, Xiao went to see the illness and didn't look at the so-called envoy of the Linyi Kingdom: "Misunderstanding? Where is there any misunderstanding? Our Datang caravan came to do business, and we met pirates on the road and stole our treasures.

We pursued the pirates all the way here, and as soon as we came ashore, we didn't have a steady path or even breath. You Chams are too rude and barbaric! Without saying a word, they shot us with bows and arrows, trampled on us with elephants, and now they slander us as big pirates, and dare to run over and say something wrong!

Can you be deceived as this king? Can you be deceived when we are Datang? If your mother dares to say a word again, it is a misunderstanding, and Lao Tzu will immediately chop you up and feed you to the sharks! ”

Linyi State, also known as Cham State, Zhancheng State, location on the later generations of Yue ~ south and south location, this period, is the heyday of the rise of Linyi State, because of the backwardness of navigation technology, the big cannibal fleet can only continue to replenish fresh water and fresh vegetables and fruits along the coastline.

Relying on its favorable geographical location, the state of Linyi not only exported iron tools and aloe vera to the big cannibals to obtain profits, but also often took the initiative to attack merchant ships or use troops abroad to obtain huge profits.

This time is the same, Xiao Qu's illness has just landed, and these Cham people are like chicken blood. Raise the machete. With a bow and arrow, he launched an attack on Xiao Quzhi and the others (in another time and space. When Chao Heng returned to Japan, the ship hit the reef and was blown to Linyi by a storm to land, but as soon as he landed on the shore, more than 100 people were killed by the local natives, and only about a dozen survived).

Finding that the enemy was not easy to deal with, the Cham people immediately brought in more than 20 elephants, led by their prince himself, but they were frightened by the rockets and starry fireworks on Xiao Quai's side, and 18 elephants were captured by Xiao Quai. Even their prince was captured alive by Xiao Qu's illness.

This envoy was the person who Lin Yiguo was sent to Chang'an to pay tribute to Li Longji, and naturally knew the strength of the Tang army.

At this time, seeing Xiao Quai's illness suddenly became angry, he was also a little flustered and trembling for a while, and scolded those native soldiers and princes in his heart for not having long eyes, he took two deep breaths, and said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the King of Lanling forgive your sins!" The little one is wrong! However, the big mistake has been made, how can the king of Lanling release my prince. ”

"This is the attitude that came to talk about things" Xiao Quzhi laughed: "This king's request is very simple. Let your king and all your ministers come and apologize for their sins!

and compensate us for our losses. This time we have killed a hundred soldiers in battle, and you will compensate us with 1,000 taels of gold for each soldier; There is also the consumption this time, forget about the rockets, but the starry sky is precious, one hundred taels of gold each; There is still time to delay, a total of 200,000 taels of gold will be added, and the money will be released when it arrives. ”

The face of this messenger named Fan Xuan was solemn and respectful, but his heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses crashing by, according to the information he had, the two thousand Tang troops were only seriously injured more than a hundred, and not a single one died at all; And Tang Jun's life is so valuable? And the so-called starry sky, which he has also seen in Chang'an, is used by the rich to play, and he dares to ask for a hundred taels of gold? This~ blacker than a pirate!

"King Lanling! You're asking for too much...... It's too much, how can there be such a reason? Isn't Datang the most particular about benevolence and generosity? ”

"Excessive?" Xiao Quzhi sat up from the recliner, looked into his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "This time, we are strong in force, so we let you return with a feather." If it weren't for that, thousands of our soldiers would have been killed by you, Lao Tzu was a king of Lanling in the Tang Dynasty, he was a king of Jianning in the Tang Dynasty, and the two county kings were killed here by you!

Lao Tzu hasn't settled this account with you, but he just wants you to compensate for a little loss, and you actually say that I am excessive? You always say things that are only said by fools, and we don't have to say any more.

This king will cut off the head of your bullshit prince right now and let you take it back, and since you don't want to pay for the damage, then I will go to your palace and get it myself. ”

As soon as Xiao Qu finished speaking, a guard next to him came over, ready to lift Fan Xuan up, and the other two guards were already carrying knives and preparing to escort Prince Cham over to cut off his head.

Fan Xuan was anxious, knocked on the ground with his head, and found that the beach did not hurt, so he began to slap himself again, and begged loudly: "King Lanling, the little one knows that he is wrong, and the little one will go back and bring the words of King Lanling to my king!" ”

Xiao Quzhi waved his hand, several guards stopped, Xiao Quzhi smiled: "Don't worry, besides, how can the pirates rob our treasures?" ”

Fan Xuan was stunned: "What is calculated?" ”

"We found a diamond bigger than a human head in Sulu, and it was robbed by pirates, who came all the way to you without going anywhere. Then we chased all the way here, and as soon as we got ashore, we were attacked by you, and I now suspect that you are in the same league as the pirates! ”

The country of Sulu is the Philippines ~ law ~ bin region in later generations, separated from the country of Linyi by more than 2,000 miles of the vast sea, not to mention where there will be diamonds bigger than a human head, and the Tang fleet is so strong, how can pirates have the ability to snatch such a rare treasure from them!

Fan Xuan understood now, this King of Lanling came to find fault on purpose, but there was no way, who called himself defeated, the king's favorite prince was captured alive, who called others to be strong? Fan Xuan hurriedly said: "King Lanling, we are wronged, we are definitely not in the same group as that gang of robbers!" ”

Xiao Quzhi waved his hand, and the two guards lifted Fan Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, his face had been swollen by himself, and walked outside, and Xiao Quai's voice came over: "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet, I'm not discussing with you, but issuing a final notice."

Within three days, we had handed over two hundred thousand taels of gold and the pirates and our treasures, and the king and the ministers themselves came to apologize, and we departed at once. Otherwise we'll pick it up ourselves, find it ourselves! (To be continued.) )
