Chapter 33 The king wants to eat whale meat
"Hmph, this king is Dengzhou Assassin Shi Li Su, who is here today with a large army, if you don't get someone, you will bear the consequences!" Li Su also shouted angrily, he deliberately behaved so toughly, that is, they did not dare to raise swords, after all, for Goguryeo, the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty could not be provoked.
Hearing that the young man on the other side turned out to be Li Su, the king of Qi, Yuan Jingwu and both of them were taken aback, and looked Li Su up and down a few times in disbelief, and then saluted and said: "The ministers of the lower country don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has arrived, and they really deserve death!" ”
There is also a reason why Yuan Jingwu and the others are so respectful to Li Su. When Goguryeo was in the late Han Dynasty, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains, it gradually annexed Liaodong and other places, in the former Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo held its own national strength and was strong, and even did not put the Sui Dynasty in the eyes of the king in Chapter 33 The king wants to eat whales, stirred up trouble everywhere, and even secretly contacted the Turks, which angered the Great Sui, and raised troops to attack Goguryeo several times, especially when he encountered the two hundred and five emperors of Sui Yang, each time it was a national army to attack, although it ended in failure, but it also made Goguryeo's national strength decline and the people were not happy, also lost Goguryeo's courage, so now Goguryeo has always been very respectful to the Tang Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty on the surface, for fear of causing the disaster of the year again.
"Hmph, this king is here today, and I have two choices, one is to respectfully hand over the people to me, and the other is that I will lead the army commander to go straight in and personally snatch the people back!" Li Su did not soften his attitude because of the other party's respect, he was still as tough as just now, he is now playing a two-hundred-and-a-half prince, the more rude he behaves, the more the other party will take care of him. After all, everyone is afraid that his brain will be hot and really cause the two countries to go to war.
Sure enough, Li Su's toughness made Yuan Jingwu's forehead sweat, and An Yiluo was also nervous, his eyes swept Yuan Jingwu from time to time, and the other party was presiding over the arrest, and he didn't let him participate in it at all. Even now, he didn't know who Yuan Jingwu was going to arrest?
Yuan Jingwu's face was cloudy and uncertain under Li Su's threat. If the two countries are at war because of the fact that the king wants to eat whale meat in Chapter 33, even if the Yuan family protects him, he will definitely not escape death. But if you agree to release them. Then it is likely that the person will get away, and that big secret is likely to be leaked, and no one can predict what kind of consequences will be caused by then?
"Your Highness, we have no ill will towards the merchants of your country, but that person is too important to us, as long as they can hand over that person, we will release him immediately!" Yuan Jingwu gritted his teeth, and finally insisted.
"Good, good! It seems that you don't take my Datang seriously. Li Su said hatefully, and then turned to Liu Ju again. General Liu, since they don't agree, then we can only give orders on the battlefield! ”
Although Li Jushi's tone was very resolute when he spoke, he looked at Liu Jushi. But he winked at the other party, the other party was a little weak at the beginning, although he is still insisting, but in fact, his heart has been shaken, and now he is only short of this last blow.
Liu Ju is also a shrewd person, and he looked at Li Su's eyes. At that moment, he also said to An Jia Luo with a murderous face: "Since this is the case, then we can only meet each other with swords and soldiers, and return home!" ”
Hearing Liu Ju's order, the soldiers on the carriage and ship immediately turned the bow of the ship and were about to leave. An Yiluo looked at the Tang Dynasty Navy on the opposite side in a cold sweat, and looked nervously at the Tang Dynasty Navy on the opposite side, the other party not only has more ships than them, but those fierce building ships are even more daunting, although their Goguryeo naval forces are also imitations of the Tang Dynasty building ships, but the technology is not up to par, the size is much smaller, and the quality is not as good as others, if this is a fight, they are definitely not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty, and in the end they can only hide in the port and take advantage of the geographical advantage to compete with the other party.
"Your Highness, please stay!" At this critical moment, Yuan Jingwu finally didn't dare to clash with Datang, so he could only stop Li Su with a dejected face, "Let's make people!" ”
Hearing Yuan Jingwu's words, not only the nervous An Yiluo wiped his cold sweat with confidence, but even Li Su and Liu Ju were secretly relieved, Li Su is not Li You's two hundred and five, if the two countries are at war because of a few maritime merchants, even if Li Shimin protects him at that time, it will definitely not be too easy in the end, at least a reprimand is indispensable, and even his position as the assassin of Dengzhou may not be guaranteed.
"Hehe, those who know the times are Junjie......" Li Su wanted to praise the other party a few words, but he suddenly found that he didn't even know what the name of this fat and ugly guy was, but he was thick-skinned, and when he said this, he simply changed his words and asked, "I don't know what this brother is called?" ”
"Your Royal Highness, the minister's name is Yuan Jingwu, and my brother Yuan Gai Suwen is in my country!" Yuan Jingwu replied weakly, he was thinking about how to explain to his brother when he went back, such an important matter was actually messed up, and the other brothers who were jealous of him didn't know how to laugh at him?
Li Su didn't know what Lu was, but when he heard that the other party was the younger brother of Yuan Gai Suwen, Li Su was shocked, the Yuan Gai Su Wen in history was a great guy, although he ruled the country with high pressure, and diplomacy was a mess, but people were able to compete with the Tang Dynasty for decades with the power of a small country, and it was not until after his death that the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the civil strife in Goguryeo to completely eradicate this small country that had been established for hundreds of years.
In fact, not only Li Su was surprised, but even Liu Ju was taken aback, he knew better than anyone else about the situation in Goguryeo, and he also knew the Yuan family very well, so he hugged his fists and smiled at the moment: "I didn't expect it to be the famous Yuan brothers, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”
Li Su also came to his senses at this time, and smiled at the other party: "It turned out to be Brother Yuan, since this is a misunderstanding, then we are waiting here for you to hand over people, and we will withdraw our troops as soon as the people arrive!" ”
Yuan Jingwu and An Yiluo didn't dare to delay, hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, Li Su and they also returned to the ship, this was more than half an hour, when Li Su was a little impatient, they saw a fleet of ships sailing out of the other port, but for some reason, the speed of the ship was extremely slow. It was only recently that Li Su found that the ships in the entire fleet were like ravaged girls, each of them was scarred on the hull, and there were even many large holes that were artificially chiseled.
If it was just the miserable appearance of these ships, but when Li Su saw the people on the boat, he immediately felt a monstrous anger, only to see that the crew members above were all ragged and depressed, and many people's faces, arms and other places were bandaged, and the blood oozing from them could be guessed that the injuries were definitely not light. As for the smiling tiger and the one-eyed shark, not only were they bandaged like mummies, but they couldn't even stand steadily, and there were two people around them to support them. No wonder he waited so long to come out, it is estimated that Yuan Jingwu was afraid that Li Su would be angry when he saw the wounds of these people, so he asked people to help the tiger shark bandage them.
"Bastard!" Looking at the miserable appearance of the tiger sharks, Li Su punched the side of the boat, and really wanted to order the army to rush over desperately and let the other party know how powerful Datang was, but unfortunately reason told him that he couldn't be so impulsive.
"The grass people greet His Highness, thank Your Highness for your rescue!" The smiling tiger and the one-eyed shark were pressed to Liu Ju's boat, and as soon as the two saw Li Su standing at the bow of the boat, they immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said with a grateful face.
"Hurry up, you are injured, don't aggravate your injuries because of these false courtesies." Li Su hurriedly helped the two mummies up, comforted them a few more words, and just wanted to ask why they were arrested, when he suddenly heard Yanbei next to him shouting: "Huh? What's that? ”
Li Su turned his head to look at it and found that on the sea surface where the two navies were facing each other, a column of water several meters high had appeared. And after Liu Ju saw the water column, he immediately smiled and said: "Yan Changshi doesn't know, it is a whale in the sea spraying water, because this whale is huge, and it lives in the sea, and the surrounding fishermen are commensurate with dragons, so it is also called 'dragon out of water'." ”
Just as Liu Ju was explaining, the back of the whale slowly floated to the surface, and it was more than two zhang long just to be exposed, and it was estimated that the whale under the water was at least four or five zhang long. However, after Li Su heard Liu Ju's explanation, he pouted, what is a whale spraying water, it is obviously whether people are breathing well or not, it is really uneducated.
Looking at the huge size of the whale, Yan Bei suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that this is a whale, I only heard that there are whales in the sea before, and they are several feet long. ”
"Come on, aim the crossbow arrows on the ship at the whales, this king wants to taste the taste of whale meat today!" Seeing this whale that attracted the attention of the naval armies of the two countries, Li Su suddenly rolled his eyes, and immediately opened his mouth to order, he was worried that the anger in his stomach could not be vented, but he did not expect that an excellent punching bag would appear immediately, and shooting the whale in front of the Goguryeo people was also a good deterrent.
"Your Highness, this whale is a divine creature in the sea, and you can't shoot it!" Hearing Li Su's order, Liu Ju was immediately startled and hurriedly persuaded him. Fishermen call whales dragons, so they are naturally in awe of them, and when they see them when they are fishing, they will immediately hide from them, let alone come forward to kill them.
"Fetish? That's even better, come on, give me a hand! Li Su saw that Liu Ju, who even regarded human life as a mustard, did not dare to make a move on the whale, and his heart was even more happy, it seems that the ancient people still have great awe in their hearts for this huge animal, if they can shoot it, then the deterrent effect will be better, after all, in the eyes of the other party, Datang even dares to kill this kind of divine object, so what else do they dare not do?
But Li Su forgot that even Liu Ju, a general, didn't dare to make a move against the whale, so would anyone on the ship dare to do it to the whale? (To be continued!!
