The city is not big, and the palace of the rice country is easy to find, Li Tao found the palace, remembered the general direction, and left.

There are only two inns in the city, and Li Tao asked for two rooms to live with Pei Yue and Li Bai.

After nightfall, the three of them put on night clothes and sneaked out of the inn. Although there were a lot of guards in King Mi's palace, the precautions were not very strict, and Li Tao and the three of them did not encounter any major trouble when they entered the palace.

Undoubtedly, the largest and most luxurious building is the sleeping palace of the king of the United States. Looking at the palace of the king of the rice country, Li Tao couldn't help but shake his head, compared with the Tang Palace, this palace is too shabby. Speaking of which, some state capitals are much more magnificent than this.

However, at this moment, Li Tao didn't have much time to care about the grandeur of the Mi King's Palace, and he was now anxious to see Ulega.

"You two are here to stay, I'll go in first!" Li Taoxiang

Ulga did not rest at this moment, but sat in front of the bed with an old man and said something. Under the dim oil lamp, I couldn't see the old man's appearance clearly, but from Ulega's clothes, I could recognize him as the king of the rice country.

Ulgar sighed. "Uncle Wang, I sent people to see Tu Du several times, but he didn't see me, it seems that he is desperate to go to the end with the big cannibal."

The old man said categorically: "We must not let him go his own way, since our Zhaowu Jiu surname has accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, we can no longer have anything to do with the big cannibal." ”

"Well said!" Li Tao suddenly walked out of the shadows.

"Who are you?" Ulega stood up abruptly, stared at Li Tao and asked.

"I'm Li Tao, the king of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty!"

"The King of Lantian of the Tang Dynasty?" Ulga and the old man looked at each other.

"Exactly!" Li Tao took something out of his bosom and handed it to Ulega.

Ulgar took it. said to the old man, "Uncle Wang, he is Li Tao, the king of Lantian of the Tang Dynasty." ”

After hearing this, the old man stroked Li Tao's chest and said, "Mi Guo Talli has seen a bad trip. ”

"Ulega, the king of the United States, has seen a bad trip!" Ulga also saluted.

Li Tao nodded and said, "You two don't have to be polite. Let's sit down and talk slowly! ”

Ulga said: "Please sit down!" I will then order food to be prepared for the errand, and we will talk while we eat. ”

"King Ulga!" Li Tao hurriedly stopped: "Don't bother, the news of my coming to the Western Regions is still known to outsiders." That's why I came quietly to the king. ”

Ulega nodded: "I understand!" ”

"What is the situation of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu now?" Li Tao asked straight to the point.

"The Great Cannibal conquered Kangju City, the capital of Kangguo, and my cousin suddenly surrendered to Qu Dibo, the governor of the Great Food Capital. Now the governor's palace of Qu Dibo is located in Kangju City. ”

"Isn't Twilight the new King of Kangguo? How could it be your cousin? Li Tao asked puzzled.

Tarli said on the side: "I don't know about the upper cha, Kang Guo, Mi Guo and Cao Guo are of the same three clans. The original king of Kangguo was my cousin with Ulega's father, and Twilight was my nephew, who was Ulega's cousin. ”

"I see!" Li Tao suddenly realized.

I thought for a moment. Li Tao asked again: "Sudden surrender of the Great Cannibal, what do the people of Kang Guo think?" ”

Ulega said angrily: "What he did suddenly fainted was not only tolerated by the people of Kangguo, but also by other countries with the surname Zhaowujiu. ”

Li Tao asked again: "So Zhaowu Jiu's surname is still the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Ulga said, "Yes." We have been looking forward to Datang sending people. King Lantian, it's good that you're here! ”

"If that's the case, then I'm in charge!" Li Tao also said politely: "King Ulega, there are three things that you need to do now!" ”

Ulega nodded and said, "Just give orders!" I'm going to do my best! ”

"First, contact the other kings of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms as soon as possible, tell them that the army of the Tang Dynasty is about to arrive, and let them get ready. When the time comes, send an army to cooperate with the Tang Iron Cavalry to fight the Great Cannibal. ”

Ulga excitedly said: "Great! Upper difference. I'll do it! When will the Tang army arrive? ”

"It's probably the beginning of spring at the earliest! Winter is not suitable for large-scale operations! ”

Ulga then asked, "What is this second thing?" ”

"I have heard that the surname Zhaowu is good at business, I wonder if there are people who go to Dashi to do business in the United States?"

"What are you doing with this?" Ulga wondered.

"The art of war, knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, if you want to fight with the big cannibals, you must have a detailed understanding of them, especially the situation of their commander Qu Dibo. I want to send someone to Dashi to find out what this Qudibo is all about. ”

Tarli smiled: "Leave this to me, I happen to have a caravan that often goes to Dashi to deliver goods, and I will definitely find out the bottom of Qu Dibo." ”

"That's for the best!" Li Tao said: "This third thing is to hope that the king of Ulega will send me a reliable person, preferably someone who is familiar with the situation in Kangguo, to take me to Kangju City." ”

"What? On a business trip, you are going to Kangju City? However, Qudibo and the Great Eclipse army are stationed in Kangju City, and this ......," Ulega said with some concern.

Li Tao smiled: "The reason why I didn't let you reveal my identity was because I wanted to go to Kangju City secretly. As far as I know, there are also a lot of Tang people who do business in Kangju City, and I use business as a cover, presumably Qu Dibo will not pay attention to me! It's just that I've never been to Kangju City, so I need someone who is familiar with the situation! ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange a good guide for you! By the way......" Ulega seemed to remember something, and he said to Li Tao: "I will give a letter to the mission, if the mission encounters any difficulties, you can go to the prime minister of Kang Guo Tiqi and Queen Seji." ”

Li Tao was slightly stunned: "Are the prime ministers and queens of Kang Guo at odds with Sudden Dusk?" ”

Ulga explains: "The nine kingdoms of Zhaowu were generally managed by the king, queen, and prime minister. After the Sudden Dusk surrendered to the Great Eclipse, Queen Serge and the Prime Minister Tiqi were very dissatisfied with him, and sent people to contact me several times, asking me to try to get rid of the sudden Dusk. I thought that he was a brother in the same vein as Sudden Faint, and wanted to persuade him to get lost and turn back, but he avoided sending people several times, and it seemed that he was preparing to go all the way to the dark. ”

"I know, if there is a need, I will definitely contact them." Li Tao admonished: "Before the arrival of the Tang army, I hope that the king of Ulega will act in a low-key manner, and don't let Qu Dibo be aware." ”

"Don't worry, I know it!" Ulega nodded.

……

The day after meeting the king of Ulega, Li Tao left the city with Pei Yue and Li Bai. Led by Amidan, the guide sent by Ulega to Li Tao, they set out towards Kangju City. (To be continued......)
