"Who to save? Of course, save Xiaohou of Sanyuan County and Lord Liu, the general of the dynasty Liu Hongji!"
Dou Xiaoyong was interrupted by this sudden question, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, so he answered without looking back.
It was only when the words came out of his mouth that he realized something was wrong.
When I went to court today, wasn't I last in line? Then where did the people behind me come from?
Thinking of this, Dou Xiaoyong, who was somewhat alert, suddenly turned his head and saw three poor men in ragged clothes and haggard expressions standing behind him, looking at him curiously.
"you!"
He was startled by the sudden appearance of these three people. If Dou Xiaoyong hadn't remembered that he was now in the Golden Palace and didn't dare to make any noise, he would have jumped three feet high by now!
What's going on! Are all the palace guards dead? How can we let in three beggars?
"You are……"
Suppressing the shock and disgust in his heart, Dou Xiaoyong slowly calmed down and stared at the three people again.
However, what he didn't expect this time was: for some reason, he felt that the more he looked at these three people, the more familiar they looked! The more he looked at them, the more he thought he had seen them somewhere! But for a moment, he couldn't remember where he saw them.
Pass them.
Of course, we can’t blame Dou Xiaoyong for being too blind to see Mount Tai, and being too blind to see a dragon. In fact, the gap between his current official position and that of Xiao Han, Liu Hongji and others is too big!
He is the Duke of the current dynasty, the Marquis! A dignified second-rank official!
And he is a little seventh-grade sesame officer. Let alone dealing with each other on weekdays, even when meeting, he would only dare to bow his head and bow, and would never dare to raise his head to take a closer look! The only time he can see someone's appearance is
When going to court or on other important occasions, take a look at it from a distance!
In addition, Xiao Han and the others rushed back in a hurry this time and had no time to deal with themselves, so Dou Xiaoyong never dared to think that those big shots in his heart would one day fall to such a low level.
!
"Your Majesty! The Japanese envoys are here to see you~"
In the main hall, while Dou Xiaoyong was still looking at Xiao Han and the others suspiciously, another sharp announcement suddenly came from outside.
At this time, in front of the Golden Palace, Li Shimin was most depressed!
In the morning, he had just received the 800-mile urgent letter from Nanyang City. The letter said that Xiao Han and his party encountered rogue bandits after entering the mountains. After a fierce battle, an avalanche was triggered, covering the entire valley, burying dozens of bandits, and Xiao Han
, Liu Hongji, Ren Qing and others, there is still no news at all!
Upon hearing the news, Li Shimin's eyes immediately darkened and he almost fainted. After calming down for a long time, he put all other things on hold and only set about arranging manpower to search and rescue Xiao Han and the others, so where could he think about it?
Do you care about these Japanese people?
"No... forget it! Let them in!" He gritted his teeth and waved his hand. Li Shimin was about to say that he didn't see many people, but he saw Changsun Wuji below him winking at him frequently, knowing that he was reminding him of diplomatic relations.
It is important to take state affairs as the top priority. In desperation, we can only change our words and announce that a few people will come in.
"Xuan, the Japanese envoy is here to see you!"
The Japanese envoys were no better than Xiao Han. Xiao Han had a sign for passing through the palace and did not need to report when entering the Taiji Hall. However, this was not the case for the Japanese envoys. Therefore, after hearing Li Shimin's order, several of them were short in stature, only as big as Xiao Han's chin at most.
Only then did the tall Tu Xingsun limped into the golden palace.
"Your Majesty! I heard today that Xiao Han from Sanyuan County, who plotted to kill our envoys and had his family beat us, was buried by an avalanche?"
After finally reaching the center of the hall, several envoys with bruises and swollen faces did not even kneel down when facing Li Shimin. Instead, they followed the example of other ministers and only bowed their bodies before opening their mouths to question him.
"Fuck your mother!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he furrowed his brows and said nothing, but several people jumped out of the military commander's column. The leader, Cheng Yaojin, almost spat on the heads of those dwarves: "You're all going to die."
No! Xiao Han will be fine!"
"oh?"
When the Japanese envoys saw this, they just looked at Cheng Yaojin and the others in surprise. They didn't pay attention to the words he scolded them at all.
Because in their Japanese country, due to the lack of education and ethics, they take things like chastity too casually! Or in their subconscious, there is no concept of loyalty and chastity at all!
Therefore, those greetings to the female elders of the other party, which in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty people were regarded as extremely shameful and humiliating, were meant to make their elders feel comfortable and had no effect as a curse at all.
"Is he not dead yet?" Among the envoys, the leader looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion, then cupped his hands towards Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, if that Xiao Han is not dead, you can't protect him.
! The envoys our country sent to your country and the belongings they brought were all stolen by him a few days ago! If he doesn’t come back this time, then we must be compensated!"
"compensation?"
Hearing the shameless words of the Japanese envoy, the furious Cheng Yaojin became even more angry. He was about to roll up his sleeves and teach these people a lesson when suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind: "What do you want?
How much compensation?”
As soon as this voice appeared, the entire golden palace immediately fell silent! Because not only was Cheng Yaojin dumbfounded, but Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou, Changsun Wuji and others were also stunned! Even the person sitting there was stunned.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the Dragon Throne!
It was so quiet in the Golden Palace that you could hear a pin drop clearly!
And almost everyone in the Golden Palace, including the civil and military officials, were looking in the same direction!
At that location, there were three men in ragged clothes and unshaven beards, bathing in the sunshine, walking towards them step by step!
"You guys! Who are you!"
Those Japanese envoys were not fools to be entrusted with such important tasks as envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the changes in their surroundings, they immediately became somewhat alert and turned their heads to stare closely at the three people walking towards them.
"Don't care who we are, just tell us how much compensation you want!" Xiao Han, who was walking at the front of the group, grinned when he saw this, but there was no smile in his eyes!
"How much compensation is required? Do you want to pay it on his behalf?"
When the Japanese envoy heard this, he rolled his eyes and stretched out one hand. Thinking that something was wrong, he stretched out the other hand and answered: "Ten ships of silk, ten ships of porcelain, plus ten ships of porcelain."
