Chapter Ninety-Six: A Treasure on the Sea?

Armed with ten troikas of goods, Moser set out on his way home.

Fortunately, the dried fruits and vegetables that Qin Fan gave were all processed.

Otherwise, those things would have rotted and deteriorated after only two months of travel.

After a long journey of more than a month, Moser finally came to Jiangnan Dongdao from Kannai.

Later, he took a boat from Fuzhou Port to the Ryukyu Islands.

In the past two months, the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, Hachi Machang, is unable to sleep and eat.

Goguryeo, which is across the sea, has been gradually defeated and retreated, and it is about to be wiped out.

But he sent a weak messenger himself, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no news came.

Could it be that the Tang Emperor was dissatisfied with his actions at the beginning of the year, so he cut down the messenger and now sent troops to attack my Ryukyus?

Mahiro Hachi had a nightmare.

In the dream, the Tang Dynasty soldiers turned into powerful ghosts and set foot in the land of Ryukyu with the flames of hell.

Endless slaughter and fire.

The mournful wailing of the people.

Patches of scorched earth.

A scuttled fishing boat.

And Mosser, who had his head cut off.

Suddenly waking up from a dream, Hanyu Machang's head was suddenly covered with cold sweat.

Then the guards of the palace came:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Lord Moser is back!"

Hanyu Matsune's face turned pale:

"That day the soldiers are coming? Where is Mosser's head?"

The guards looked puzzled, what kind of heavenly soldiers?

"Your Majesty, Lord Moser is waiting outside the palace, and he has brought a gift from the Heavenly Empire! But my subordinates didn't see the Heavenly Soldiers."

Hearing this, Hanyu Machang calmed down slightly.

"It's good that I didn't call."

Soon, he realized that something was wrong.

"Are you saying that the Celestial Empire returned the Ryukyu gift, and that idiot Moser accepted it?"

The guard didn't dare to hesitate and nodded hurriedly.

"That idiot!"

Hanyu slammed his pillow on the ground in anger, and before he could change his pajamas, he walked out barefoot.

The guards hurriedly followed.

On the royal palace, Hanyu Machang met Mosser, who was in the dust.

To meet is to reprimand:

"Moser, do you want me to destroy the Ryukyus?"

Moser wanted to report the happy event to the king, but he was scolded coldly.

The king's words of destruction were like a bucket of cold water, poured on his head.

"Your Majesty! Moser is loyal to the Ryukyus, how can he want me to destroy the Ryukyus?"

Hanyu Machang was furious: "This king heard from the guards that you brought back ten carts of goods, the value of which is several times that of my tribute, isn't this still asking me to destroy the Ryukyus?"

"When this king ordered you to go, he confessed his mistake to the Heavenly Empire! You're good, the stuff was sent out, but you got more back! Isn't that a reason for the kingdom to send troops to the Ryukyus?"

Moser suddenly sweated profusely, if the Celestial Empire really used this as an excuse to send troops to the Ryukyus, wouldn't he have become a sinner for the ages of the Ryukyus?

However, thinking of the envoy of the Dragon Palace's earnest teachings to him, Moser suddenly became firm again.

"Your Majesty, these things are not a return gift from the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Hanyu Machang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that it wasn't sent by Emperor Tang, and it doesn't matter where Moser plundered or collected this thing.

However, Mosser's next sentence made Hanyu Machang petrified.

"This is a county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty who took it out of the Datang treasury in order to help me develop the Ryukyus!"

It's not worse!

The reason for sending troops at this time Hanyu Zhenchang has been thought of by Datang.

The Ryukyu Kingdom came to collude with the officials of the Tang Dynasty to steal millions of taels of silver from the national treasury, so they entered the Ryukyus and were bound to recover the stolen money.

what

? You said the amount is wrong?

If you don't say that the amount is larger, and you admit it and directly make up for the 100,000 taels of silver, won't it be difficult for the other party to send troops?

Hanyu Machang shaved Moser fiercely, and said coldly:

"Do you think a mere county order can mobilize 100,000 taels of silver? That's just an excuse for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to my Ryukyus!"

Moser frowned, but still defended, "Your Majesty, that county order is not ordinary!"

"Unusual? Hmph, what's out of the ordinary? No matter what, he's just a small county magistrate! This is a ploy!"

Moser was helpless, the king admitted death, and decided that the Tang Dynasty would use this as an excuse to attack their Ryukyus.

"Your Majesty, the Qin County Decree is the Dragon Palace's divine envoy! He was sent by the Lord of the East to help us!"

Hearing this, Hanyu was stunned for a moment.

Picking up the heirloom jade seal on the table, he was about to smash it at Mosser.

But after hesitating for two seconds, he still put down the jade seal, replaced it with a bamboo slip, and smashed it.

"You're really crazy, you even dare to deceive this king!"

Moser didn't dare to resist, and a big bag was suddenly picked up by the bamboo slip on his head.

"Your Majesty, you may wish to go with your ministers to see the reward of the divine envoys, and then you will believe what your ministers say."

Hanyu was suspicious.

Could it be that what Moser said was true?

No way, no way!

The Lord of the East is a god on the other side of the ocean, and even if he sends an envoy, he should come to my Ryukyus.

How could he go to the kingdom of heaven to be a county magistrate?

Moser must be fooling me.

But it doesn't hurt to go out and have a look.

Hanyu really wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in this Moser gourd.

Hanyu Zhenchang gave an order, and the guards in the palace immediately transported the tributes given back by the Tang Dynasty to the outside of the palace.

The two went out to check.

"Your Majesty, this is the food of the gods! It is a product of the Dragon Palace, and the gods have mercy on the people of Ryukyu who do not have enough to eat, and I hereby reward him for the ones he brought to Ryukyu to plant!"

Moser pointed to pots of sweet potato vine seedlings.

After all, after a two-month-long journey, Moser was afraid that the divine food would die, so he planted it in a clay pot and brought it back.

Hanyu Machang looked at the pots of sweet potato seedlings with a suspicious face:

"Divine Food? It's these weeds?! Mosher, don't you have a burned brain?"

Moser hurriedly said, "The divine envoy said that this divine food is called sweet potato, and it can yield 2,000 catties per mu, which is enough to feed my Ryukyu people!"

"Two thousand pounds?" Hanyu opened his mouth wide: "Is this true?"

"Moser dares to vouch for his head! What Moser said is true."

Moser was so sincere that he vouched for his own head.

Hanyu Matsui couldn't help but believe it for three points, so he pointed to another car of goods covered with tarpaulins and asked:

"What is this?"

Hearing this, Mosser's face also turned red, and while lifting the tarpaulin, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is a magic weapon given by the gods to defeat the evil gods of the sea!"

When Hanyu heard this, he couldn't help but stick out his head to look.

But I only saw some common dried fruits and vegetables.

"Mother, do you think this king is stupid! These ordinary vegetables and fruits, just dried out of water, can help us defeat the evil gods of the sea?"

Moser quickly explained, "The Divine Messenger said that the reason why our fishermen were killed by the evil gods of the sea was because they had not ingested a kind of energy called it for a long time."

"And these things are rich in this energy, but fresh fruits and vegetables are not easy to preserve, and these can be dried to help us defeat the evil gods of the sea."
