Chapter 918: Return Plan
At the entrance of the ruined Kyoto city, a vast contingent of the Dongying Imperial Family went out of the city to meet the caravan from the Tang Dynasty.
Although it has been three months since I came to Dongying, I have never had such a grand treatment at the beginning of my visit.
In Datang's ranks, there are no soldiers, nor any weapons, and the only ones they have are those goods from Datang.
Everything seems to have returned to when it first entered Dongying, and the only thing that has changed is the attitude of the Dongying royal family towards the Tang Mission.
But everyone knows very well that there can be such a huge change, not because the people of Dongying suddenly became more friendly to Datang, but because of the artillery fire that has quietly withdrawn, and the naval fleet docked near the coast.
The procession of the Dongying royal family stood neatly at the gate of the city, and the current Dongying Emperor personally greeted him, full of smiles.
The scene was very peaceful, but the eyes of these people were always casually looking left and right.
The secret hidden in the hearts of Dongying people has not been solved, what is that thing called "Shenwu Cannon"?
They wanted to see what kind of weapons could raze the sacred mountain to the ground in just one day.
Only those who have experienced it will feel afraid from the bottom of their hearts, this kind of power beyond human power makes people unable to have any thoughts of resistance, and all Dongying can do is to cooperate.
The reception ceremony on the scene was just a formality, and at this moment the caravan re-entered Toei Kyoto, which heralded the beginning of everything.
Bai Song rode a horse in front, and the ministers of Dongying on both sides of the pass looked up proudly, even if they met Emperor Dongying, they did not mean to dismount.
In the past, these Dongying people must have soared their blood pressure and exploded on the spot.
And at this moment, everyone is as calm as a puddle of water.
It seems that everything is taken for granted.
The emperor is the same today, without any words, silently following behind Bai Song.
Now, the entire Dongying royal family is under the control of Bai Song alone, and his third and second brothers are under the protection of the other party, if Bai Song is willing, he can easily replace anyone in the inheritance of this throne.
Therefore, now the eldest prince needs Bai Song's support the most.
"Your Excellency, Kyoto City is now clearing the remnants of the Eastern Imperial Pavilion and the Ninja Sect, although the number of the other party is not large, but there are many difficult masters, before the threat is completely cleared, your lord still has to focus on his own safety, according to what I see, it is better to let the mission live in the palace."
As he spoke, the procession had already entered the city.
For this kind reminder, Bai Song didn't have much interest.
Kyoto seems to be peaceful, but if the other party really wants to assassinate him, even if he hides in the Imperial Palace, it has no practical meaning.
"How can a mission of another country live in the royal palace? I'm used to the old Besen, so I'd better stay in the old Besen. ”
"Since the envoy has such a request, then we must follow the arrangement of the envoy."
Bai Song didn't say anything more, his eyes swept over the city, and he remembered that many streets were implicated in the bombing, flying sand and gravel everywhere, and occasionally some injured people could be seen.
"From now on, our caravan will open a free clinic at the gate of the annex, and all those who were injured in yesterday's battle can receive free treatment. Of course, the medicines and basic expenses required for treatment need to be borne by the royal family. ”
Bai Song suddenly spoke, and the emperor nodded again and again: "What else do you need to prepare after this?" ”
"The most important thing now is to appease the people and promote the hypocrisy of the East Imperial Pavilion, Kyoto is just the beginning, and there are many places outside Kyoto where the Eastern Imperial Pavilion can hide and develop."
After a simple reception ceremony, the entire Dongying royal family took action and began a city-wide search according to Bai Song's request.
Kyoto is somewhat chaotic, with occasional clashes in various inconspicuous corners and occasional bloodshed.
The people of Kyoto did not have a return to peace in their hearts, and they all hid in their homes, feeling uneasy.
Compared to the chaos of the outside world, the small villa seems to have returned to its former calm.
All returned, and there were no unnecessary casualties.
Xiao Kui, Shixiang, and the others who were controlled by the Huimeng Pill all took the antidote of Bai Song's concoction, and after half a day of cultivation, they had slowly woken up from the initial coma.
This was a staged victory, and at dusk, a celebratory banquet was set up in the garden.
Bai Song raised his wine glass and said loudly during the banquet: "The first thing we want to thank is General Zhu He Zhu, without General Zhu's timely arrival, we are not facing the situation we are facing now." ”
The officials of the mission raised their glasses one after another: "Yes, this time thanks to General Zhu." ”
General Zhu is old and arrogant to others, but in front of a young man like Bai Song, he does not have the slightest arrogance, on the contrary, he is extremely polite.
In the Tang Dynasty, there are too many legends about the White Song Dynasty, and this young man is no longer a hairy boy when he entered and exited Chang'an, but a capable person with countless legendary experiences.
The Shenwu cannon he developed alone became the key to laying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the Tang Dynasty army was equipped with Shenwu artillery, the stability of the Tang frontier is incomparable to all dynasties.
Zhu He also knew very well that today's events had nothing to do with him, and what he relied on was nothing more than the Shenwu cannon.
Hearing Bai Song's praise, Zhu You blushed a little, got up and said with a smile: "Lord Bai, you are serious, we can not have today because of the Shenwu Cannon." And this Shenwu cannon was invented by adults, and the last general just went through the motions. ”
"Shenmu artillery also has its limitations, it plays a decisive role in large-scale battles, but when it comes to small-scale conflicts, Shenwu artillery is difficult to come in handy. The enemies hiding in your shadows are not completely eliminated now, and we cannot let our guard down yet. In the future, I will have to rely on the protection of the old general. ”
"Lord Bai, as long as the people of my Zhuhe headquarters are not killed, I will not let anyone hurt you and anyone from the mission."
"Before, the enemy was in the light, and we were in the dark, so we were able to turn the situation around quickly with the Shenwu cannon. Now the situation is the other way around, and we can't pin all our hopes on the Dongying royal family. If the remnants of the Eastern Emperor Pavilion are hidden, we will never be able to feel at ease. Bai Song held his wine glass and walked in the crowd and said seriously.
The topic got down to business, and the expressions of everyone at the banquet became serious.
Bai Song already had a plan, and continued: "I don't like to sit still, our mission in Dongying has just begun, and the matter has not been resolved, what should we do with the lost goods?"
At this moment, Bai Song was really a little panicked and shouted, "You guys, what are you going to do?" I can't keep worrying about it, so I'm going to leave on the general's ship alone and return to Datang first. ”
