Li Chongyi and his party arrived in Zhenla three days ago. At first, everything was as usual. Lin Yiguo heard that it was the Tang envoy who had arrived, and he also made way for them to pass. When they arrived at the border, King Zhenla sent one of the five ministers Guluo Zhi and
Prime Minister Gao Ping came to greet him with all the courtesy.
We entered Champa that night and stayed at the "Yingbin Building" of the Chenla Kingdom. Envoys came and were very respectful. They said that their king was preparing a grand ceremony to welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Heaven and that it would take some time to prepare.
, please ask the Tang envoy to stay temporarily in the Yingbin Building. If you need anything, just ask, no matter what it is, the whole country of Zhenla will satisfy it as much as possible.
Naturally, he flattered Li Chongyi to the best of his ability. He even sent four beautiful women that night, but Li Chongyi kicked him out. Wang Pu couldn't laugh at him and could only reluctantly accept him.
The two beauties were sent out.
We just settled down and stayed there for three days.
On this day, Wang Pu came to see Li Chongyi. He had been in contact with Li Mu for a long time and developed a business acumen. After finally coming to Zhenla, he wanted to take a look at the market to see if there was anything that Tang Dynasty had not
It's small, light, and not cumbersome to carry. It will be a huge profit if you bring it back to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chongyi was the boss, so naturally he had to discuss it with him. But when he came to Li Chongyi's room, he found that he was not there. After searching around, he found a frowning Li Chongyi not far from the back door of the Yingbin Building.
"Big man, what are you doing?"
After getting along all the way, the two of them had become familiar with each other, and Li Chongyi was no longer angry at the name big man. Li Chongyi glanced at him and whispered: "I feel something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Wang Pu looked around and said, "What's wrong?"
"We've been here three days."
Wang Pu was delighted when he heard this and said indifferently: "What's your reason for this? Oh, didn't they say that we should prepare a grand ceremony to welcome you? This is called a national ceremony, do you understand the national ceremony? We are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, representing
It's the Tang Dynasty." Suddenly he also lowered his voice and said: "Although we are fake, you still have to pretend to be like the real thing, and don't show your flaws."
Li Chongyi looked at him and said nothing.
Wang Pu continued: "Compared with our Tang Dynasty, Chenla is a small country, a tiny place. We can come here, which gives them great face. They are more grand, not for us, but for
They themselves made a big noise and let the surrounding countries know that Zhenla had contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and their goal was achieved. This was promised to them by the Marquis, so let them toss it around.
It's not too late in the next few days. I want to go to the market to buy some things, will you go? If you don't go, I will go with Chongyi boy."
"wrong!"
Li Chongyi said coldly: "I think what you said is wrong. Even if King Zhenla is preparing a ceremony to welcome us, what about the motorcycle prince who came with us? When we parted three days ago, he said that he would come and take care of us tomorrow.
We were playing, but he didn’t come, and the bearded guy next to him didn’t show up either.”
"Didn't you listen to what he said on the way here? He is the only direct prince in the Zhenla Kingdom. How can he be free for such a big national gift? He must be busy. Isn't there someone to take care of us? What's that about?
Yes, Guluozhi, yes, Guluozhi, his official rank is bigger than Beard Duolou, he is said to be equivalent to our prime minister, he comes to say hello every morning, isn't it enough?"
"I think something is still wrong." Li Chongyi stared at a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells, which startled Wang Pu. He saw that Li Chongyi's eyes were bloody again. He had seen Li Chongyi's eyes turn red when he was angry.
It's a sign of his anger.
Wang Pu dared to offend him, so he hurriedly said: "Big man, you, please don't get angry. I was wrong and you were right. If you think something is wrong, it is wrong. Isn't that okay if I say something wrong?"
Li Chongyi took a deep breath, tried to keep his tone calm, and said: "I don't think something is right, and it's not just a guess. When I smell blood, I can't control my anger. Although I haven't
I can see, but I can feel, the smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger, which means that people are dying in this city! Someone is killing people!"
"Kill someone?" Wang Pu was stunned and said, "Isn't it possible? We are envoys of the Tang Dynasty. When the envoys of the Tang Dynasty come, who dares to make a mistake?"
"I want to know too."
After Li Chongyi finished speaking, he strode towards the door, pointed at the guard standing at the door, and said, "Go and find the motorcycle prince and tell him that the Tang Dynasty has something to do with him."
The guard saluted and left. Not long after, Guluozhi arrived. He was far away. With a smile on his face, he walked closer and apologized repeatedly. Li Chongyi ignored him and said the same thing: "Take the motorcycle."
The prince is here, and I have something to discuss with him."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is feeling cold, so it is inconvenient to see you. If you need anything, just tell me."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Pu also felt that something was wrong. He looked at Li Chongyi and took over the conversation: "When we parted three days ago, Motorcycle Prince was still healthy. Why did he suddenly feel cold? Zhenla
The climate in China is so warm, so it’s not easy to get cold, right?”
Guluozhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. There are two types of wind-cold: cold and hot. It's called wind-cold because of the cold, and it's called cold because of the heat. They are all one type of wind-cold. Your Highness, please
It was acquired by beating the emperor, and he was afraid of infecting it to the envoy, so we can't see each other."
"What about Beard Duo Lou...?"
"The king arranged for him to be responsible for the ceremony. He is very busy."
"Oh." Wang Pu also noticed that something was wrong, but didn't say anything more. He smiled and said: "So, it's really unlucky. Can I ask how long it will take to prepare for your country's ceremony? I'll be waiting for you to leave."
The country has been with us for a long time, and I want to return to the country and resume my life as soon as possible."
Guluo Zhi said: "It won't be too long. Within a day or two, won't the envoy find it uncomfortable to live in the Yingbin Building? Don't blame us for the poor hospitality. A small country with few people cannot be like the superior country.
Compared."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Wang Pu said haha, and then he said it. After a few more pleasantries, he sent Guluozhi away, and Wang Pu's expression also changed.
Although Wang Pu is a bit dandy, he comes from a famous family. Whether he likes it or not, he has been studying history since he was a child. And more than half of the records in history books are about various royal affairs, including coups, palaces, military rebellions, etc.
Wait, it takes up the most space again.
Gu Luozhi's performance just now was exactly right. Wang Pu now wants to think on the bright side, but it's impossible.
That night, the number of guards at the Yingbin Building doubled, further confirming this conjecture.
Five hundred armored guards were stationed outside the city. There were only Li Chongyi, Li Chongyi, Wang Pu and ten of their entourage in the Yingbin Tower. Facing the hundreds of armored guards outside the Yingbin Tower, the situation was like a turtle in an urn!
