Chapter 85 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
The whole hall was filled with deathly silence.
All eyes were focused on Yano Rukawa.
Either indifference, hatred, or gloating.
The third prince of Goguryeo took a sip of wine happily. He was quite happy to see such a scene.
The invasion of Goguryeo by Japanese pirates was much more serious than that of the Tang Dynasty.
It is a good thing to be able to use the help of Datang to vent his evil anger this time.
"Envoy, I don't understand what you mean."
Yano Rukawa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced out a cry-like smile.
"Don't you understand what I mean?"
Muchuan also smiled, walked slowly to Yano Rukawa, and looked down from above.
Just when everyone was wondering what Muchuan was going to do, the next scene made everyone's eyes widen.
The sword shadow flickered like a phantom, and then a big head flew to the ground.
Yano Rukawa's head still maintained a smiling face, but the shock and confusion in his eyes were enough to reveal the surprise before his death.
"Sir, sir, is this a little too much?"
Not only the envoys were surprised, but also the adjutant who assisted Muchuan looked confused.
It is a rule from ancient times that the two countries do not kill their envoys when they have relations with each other.
Muchuan ignored the adjutant and simply pointed his sword at Gangcun Mengqi, who was extremely pale.
"Yano Rukawa is dead, how about you?"
Gangcun Mengqi was so frightened that he knocked his head and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
Muchuan smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, do you plan to compensate for the losses caused by your Japanese bandits to our Tang Dynasty?"
"Compensate! I will definitely compensate! I will definitely compensate!"
"Isn't that all right?"
Muchuan patted Gangcun Mengqi's shoulder, and the smile on his face became even brighter. No one would have thought that he was the executioner who had just beheaded him.
"We will discuss the detailed compensation matters tomorrow. Today, you all have a good meal and a drink."
Under Muchuan's wave, his men quickly cleaned up the scene, arranged song and dance programs, and presented all kinds of delicacies, fully demonstrating the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.
However, under such a scene of singing and dancing, everyone still could not forget the chilling scene just now.
Everyone looked at Muchuan with deep apprehension and slight fear.
This envoy, he doesn’t play by the rules at all!
He can kill Yano Rukawa, but who can guarantee that he won't kill others?
Suddenly, the whole hall was filled with panic.
"Third brother, this Muchuan is more difficult to deal with than imagined."
During the banquet, Pu Shujun whispered to the third prince.
The third prince frowned and said displeased: "I know."
"But this is also a good opportunity."
The third prince showed a cruel smile, "Mu Chuan has broken the rules by beheading the envoy. When we meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty tomorrow, all we need to do is join in with Muchuan. Maybe we don't need to take action, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will
I will cure Muchuan of his crime!"
In fact, the third prince felt that if he added a little more fuel and a little more jealousy, he might be able to see Muchuan's blood-stained palace tomorrow.
Thinking of this, the smile on the third prince's face became even crazier.
"Third brother, third brother!"
"Sister, don't make trouble, I will make sure that Muchuan's head falls to the ground tomorrow!"
"What did he say?"
The sudden sound made the third prince stunned for a moment.
He raised his head and saw Muchuan's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Sir, I don't dare say anything."
The translator's face was a little complicated, he was not too brave to translate.
With Muchuan's temper, the translator was afraid that after he translated the original words, he would kill the third prince again.
The third prince is no better than Yano Rukawa. He is a member of the royal family. If he dies here, there will probably be a war between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.
Muchuan smiled, glanced at the translator, and said, "Actually, I can roughly guess it without you telling me."
"I'm afraid this guy is thinking about filing a lawsuit against me in front of His Majesty tomorrow, right?"
"Well, you are really very smart."
The translator's face became even uglier. He had been paying attention to Muchuan's hand. If Muchuan drew his sword, he would stop him at all costs.
"Are you afraid that I will kill him now?"
"The official does have such worries."
Muchuan shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person."
Hearing this, the translator's heart was full of complaints.
You were not like this when you just killed Yano Rukawa.
"I'm here as an envoy from Goguryeo. I had some misunderstandings with you earlier. I'm going to apologize with wine. I hope you will understand me."
Muchuan raised his wine glass, smiled at the third prince, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
The third prince was also stunned for a moment. Although he hated Muchuan in his heart, the good education of the royal family still made him force out a smile and have a drink with Muchuan.
"Hmph, sister, did you see that Muchuan is already scared?"
After drinking, on the way back to the Goguryeo envoys, the third prince said arrogantly.
Pu Shujun did not respond. Unlike the third prince's "innocent" attitude, she felt that things were a little too weird.
Muchuan's previous behavior clearly showed that he was not a polite person, but why was he so polite to his third brother just now?
And that look
Recalling the way Muchuan looked at his third brother earlier, Pu Shujun couldn't help but shudder.
That's not looking at a person at all, it feels more like looking at an object?
"Third brother, please don't try to sue Muchuan during your pilgrimage tomorrow!"
With a strong foreboding, Pu Shujun quickly warned the third prince.
Hearing this, the third prince glared at Pu Shujun and said, "Sister, although you are my father's most beloved daughter, you still have to listen to me as your brother in everything outside."
"Didn't you see just now? That Muchuan was obviously scared, so he wanted to please me! We will take this opportunity to beat up the drowned dog!"
Pu Shujun couldn't help but touch her forehead and said helplessly: "Third brother, things are not as simple as you see."
"Don't talk too much or stop me anymore. Don't blame me for ignoring the friendship between brother and sister!"
Seeing the third prince waving his sleeves and walking away, the ominous premonition in Pu Shujun's heart couldn't help but become stronger.
It's night, inside the palace.
Li Shimin is dealing with political affairs. The floods and droughts that have broken out one after another in various places today have made him a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Honglu Temple."
Wang De tiptoed over and said softly.
"Oh? Could it be that that boy Muchuan got into trouble again?"
Li Shimin lowered his head and browsed the memorial, but still did not raise his head.
Wang De wiped the sweat from his forehead and hesitated: "Your Majesty, Muchuan's trouble this time was quite serious."
"No matter how powerful he is, he can't kill the messenger, right?"
Li Shimin didn't care.
Goguryeo and Japan were not big countries, so Li Shimin didn't care much about them.
"Your Majesty, Muchuan killed Yano Rukawa of Japan in public."
