Chapter 677: The Twelve Round Tables of Persia

"Smuggling?" Li Yuanba's brows furrowed, and he said: "I remember that our Datang Dynasty has successively stationed 30,000 troops to the Pingwu Protectorate, and several important ports are also heavily guarded, and there are also many secret sentry posts and artillery towers, how can smuggling continue to be banned repeatedly?" ”

Wu Shun didn't know what was going on, so he was a little speechless after hearing Li Yuanba's words.

Seeing Wu Shundai's frowning appearance, Li Yuanba knew that this kind of thing should not be asked about Wu Shun, so he said:

"Shun'er, don't be angry! I'm just asking casually. Come on, look at this stinky boy in the first year of junior high school, he doesn't look like a safe child, you go and take him back! ”

Wu Shun responded here, and just walked to Xiao Chuyi's side, but Li Ke hurriedly broke in, looking at the look on his face, it seemed that he was really in a hurry.

"Uncle Four Emperors, it's urgent, it's urgent!" Before he had time to greet Wu Shun, Li Ke shouted when he entered the door.

"What's the urgency?" Li Yuanba's brows furrowed, and at the same time poured Li Ke a glass of warm water.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong!"

After pouring the warm water in the cup in two sips, Li Ke wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, do you remember Benjamin and Sofina?" ”

Li Yuanba thought for a moment and responded: "You mean that pair of down-and-out royals from Persia?" ”

"Yes, that's them!" Li Ke said with a mysterious face:

"It turns out that their father Hamdul is not only a royal family, but also the younger brother of the former Persian Tsar Hasbenl, and Hasbenl's children have all been killed by the rebels in the previous rebellion, and Hasbenl only has one brother of Hamdull, so Hamdull's own son Benjamin has become the most orthodox successor of Persia!"

"Oh, it's still the heir to the throne, but does it matter?" Li Yuanba sighed, and his attitude was a little casual.

Originally. Even if this Benjamin is the Emperor of Persia, he is not exiled in the Tang Dynasty and was almost killed by slave traders?

"How does it not matter? Of course it does! ”

Compared with the incomparably flat expression on Li Yuanba's face, Li Ke's face was full of excitement:

"The news that Xiao Qi just sent: that the rebel army of the Persian Empire was overthrown by the army that originally supported the imperial family, and now the royalists occupy two-thirds of the power of the Persian Empire, and now they are looking for the orthodox heir to the throne like crazy!"

"Oh!"

Li Yuanba responded casually, but after a few breaths, Li Yuanba suddenly raised his head and stretched out his hands to grab Li Ke's shoulders. Road:

"What did you just say? The rebel army of the Persian Empire was destroyed by the royalists? ”

"yes!" Li Ke also had an incredible look on his face, "It's only been a few years?" The rebel army was wiped out, it's really feng shui in turn! ”

"Is the information reliable?" Li Yuanba asked.

"Reliable!" He immediately nodded and said, "When I received this news, Xiao Qi secretly sent the Tianji Guard to Persia to contact the Tianji Guard branch of the Persian Empire to clarify the situation. ”

"That's it!" Li Yuanba touched his chin and said, "Where did Yun'er learn about this situation?" ”

"The royalists sent a large number of people to the Pingwu Protectorate to find the lost prince and princess, and those people happened to be captured by Xiao Qi's people!"

That's where the conversation stops. Li Ke believed that with the wisdom of the Four Emperor Uncles, he should understand what was going on.

"Hahaha!"

Li Yuanba rubbed his chin for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

Li Ke was a little confused, and asked, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, who are you?" ”

Li Yuanba stopped laughing. Said: "Ke'er, do you believe that pie in the sky falls? ”

Li Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, you don't often say it. There will be no pie in the sky, and even if it does, is there a pit underneath? ”

"This time is different!"

Li Yuanba muttered in a low voice. looked at Li Ke and said, "Ke'er, you immediately block the news now, and collect any news about the Persian Empire for me!" In addition, you sent someone to recruit the top spy of the Tianji Guard's Dengzhou branch to me, I have something to order! ”

"Okay, I'll do it now!" Li Ke nodded, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

……

The capital of the Persian Empire, Ctesiphon.

In the splendid palace of Ksahe, twelve tall, fair-skinned, blue-eyed, light-haired Persians sat around a table in sumptuous brocade robes.

"Sharhan, this time you can exterminate the Polliltian rebels, you Carmen clan have made great contributions, if you can welcome back the Tsar, I will definitely ask the Tsar for you!"

The Persian who sat at the top looked older, and spoke quite coherently.

"Thank you, Mr. Carter, then!"

The Persian named Shahrhan looked to be in his forties, and his blue eyes were tinged with water, as if he had not yet woken up.

"Don't pick it up yet!"

Sitting at the end was a young man, with a somewhat high nose and a strange look:

"Who of the twelve families here this time has not made sacrifices to exterminate the rebels? It's useless to say who has the most credit and who has less credit! At the moment, we should be most concerned about how to find Prince Benjamin and Princess Sofina! ”

"Yes, Jack is right!"

"Then there is a saying in the Eastern Empire, a country cannot be without a king for a day, how can you let the prince go into exile in another country?"

"The prince must be found and he will succeed him as Tsar!"

As soon as Jack the High Nose finished speaking, the other nine people all started clamoring, and the center of the discussion was nothing more than finding the prince Benjamin and the princess Sofina.

"Be quiet, please be quiet!"

The old Carter seemed to have some place in the group, and he patted the table and said:

"You are right, the country cannot be without a king for a day, since the rebel army has been ousted from power, it is natural to welcome back the new king! But now we don't even know where the new monarch is, how can we welcome him back? ”

"Isn't it in the Wa Kingdom? That small country is just a small land, and if you want to find such a few people, you can't catch them? ”

In the center of the round table, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, his name was Vikas, who was the foreign minister of the Persian Empire, in charge of all the foreign affairs of the Persian Empire.

So compared to other people, he knows a little bit about the situation in other countries in the world.

"Vikas, how many people have we sent out, and none of them have come back, why are you still talking about catching them?"

Jack glanced at Vikas and said, "In my opinion, eighty percent of those people we sent out were detained by the Japanese State!" ”

"How is that possible?" Vikas said with some incredulity: "Our Persian Empire is a strong country, which country in the world does not know, which country does not know?" The mere Japanese kingdom dared to detain our Persian Empire's secret envoys, did they eat the courage of the ambitious leopard? ”

"Hmph, you, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, are really going back more and more!"

Jack is still having trouble with Vikas, "I've heard that the current Wa Kingdom has been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and the Datang Dynasty has also established a Ping Wa Capital Protectorate on the original land of the Wa Kingdom!" Our people were not detained by the Wa State at all, but by the Eastern Empire and the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Datang!"

Jack's words can be said to have cast a pebble on the calm surface of the lake, causing continuous ripples.

"How can it be Datang? A few months ago, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a letter of state to the Japanese State in an attempt to establish diplomatic relations, and it was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in just a few months? ”

Vikas clearly didn't believe Jack's words, and he even thought that Jack was deliberately trying to provoke him in order to remove him from the position of Foreign Secretary.

"Hmph, believe it or not!" Jack pursed his lips and said, "Master Carter, you can grab a few random merchants from our port and ask them to see if I'm lying!" ”

"Report to all of you, the people we sent to the Wa Kingdom have returned!"

At this moment, a small man with brown hair and blue eyes hurriedly ran in and reported to the twelve ministers present.

"It's really raining in time!" Vikas was overjoyed, but he had to grasp this life-saving straw and slam Jack's face hard, "Quick, call them in, I have something important to ask them!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The little Persian replied with a low brow, turned and went out of the main hall.

After barely a few breaths, a dozen or so Persians, covered in white bandages and smeared with bone-setting medicine on their faces, walked in with each other's arms.

Seeing these dozen or so people, everyone in the hall was a little stunned.

What the is going on here?

"How did you get to the way you are?" Carter looked at the dozen or so Persian spies in front of him with a stunned face and said.

"My lord, we, we're bitter ......"

Carter didn't ask questions, but as soon as he opened his mouth, one of the Persian agents standing at the front burst into tears.

"They, they're demons!"

"God, those Tang people are the worst people in the world!"

All the Persian spies began to cry out loud, as if their wives and children had been killed by the Tang.

"Smack!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Carter slapped the table in front of him fiercely and roared:

"Damn, Lord Ben is asking you what the hell is going on? Didn't I tell you to cry to Lord Ben, believe it or not, Lord Ben will arrest you and hang you now? ”

Hearing Carter's words, the crying in the hall stopped abruptly.

"Tumon, what do you say?" Carter took advantage of a face to point to the Persian agent who was the first to cry and said.

The guy named Tumon looked to be in his twenties, and he looked about the same as the Han Chinese in appearance, except for a slightly taller nose and sky-blue eyes:

"Back to the adults, we were arrested by the Tang people, and we were tortured!" (To be continued.) )
