"What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?"
Wang Pu has been a dandy young master all his life, and has never seen any swords and guns. During the chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, as the son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he came here in a pampered way. Now in this situation, it is not easy to see, so he died in a daze.
But when I saw it, I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart. Death is not scary, but the feeling of waiting to die is too scary.
On the contrary, Li Chongyi had a calm face. He had no expression at first and showed no change at all. After a moment of silence, Li Chongyi suddenly said: "Take out the eldest brother's bag, it's time to take a look."
Wang Pu almost cried. What kind of tips are we talking about at this time? Even if Zhuluhou is a god, how can he know the situation here when he is thousands of miles away? The tips he gave are probably mostly nonsense.
Otherwise, if you just ask for something to be delivered, how can you solve the urgent need?
Wang Puru was mourning for his heir, so he took out the brocade bag from his arms. Since the brocade bag was given to him, he has been carrying it close to him and never left it for a moment.
Wang Pu cried and opened the brocade bag. He was suddenly startled and stopped crying. Seeing him like this, Li Chongyi reached out to take the brocade bag and read the note inside.
I saw the note saying: Mind your own business, the rice seeds are important.
Wang Pu stopped crying and said in admiration: "The Marquis is indeed a master of calculation. He could have guessed today's situation a few months ago. The Marquis made it clear that our rice seeds are very important. In this case, you don't want to show your face. I
Go and talk to that Guluozhi. We are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. As long as we understand what we say, they will not dare to act rashly. Once we get the rice seeds, we will go back quickly, stay away from this place, and never come back.
!”
Li Chongyi was silent, seeming to be thinking about something. Wang Pu became anxious and said: "Big man, don't have other thoughts. The Marquis sent me to follow you, just to give you a hand when necessary and not let you go."
You act impulsively. You don't care what I say, and I won't be angry with you, but here is the note from the Marquis. Are you not even willing to listen to the words of the Marquis, your eldest brother?"
Li Chongyi raised his head and looked at Wang Pu and said: "I understand what you mean, okay, then I don't care, you can go and talk, but I have a request. The motorcycle prince came back with us, and he is good to me.
It’s not bad for you, I want to take him away!”
Wang Pu was shocked and said: "Big man, why are you crazy! How is this possible?!"
"I don't care! My elder brother asked me to mind my own business, and I can mind my own business. But my elder brother also taught me that one cannot be without loyalty! The motorcycle prince treated me with great courtesy and placed his hopes on us. I can't just leave like this.
I believe that even if the eldest brother is here, he will not just leave. If you promise to others, you must do it!"
Wang Pu wanted to persuade again, but Li Chongyi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will protect your life and Chongyi's life. If I die, you return to Chang'an and inform my elder brother, and he will definitely avenge me."
of!"
Wang Pu almost fainted, thinking how could he meet such a tough guy, your eldest brother? If your eldest brother encounters this kind of situation, he will definitely run faster than anyone else. He will not risk his life for someone who can't be hit with eight poles.
Get out. Besides, he didn't ask us to come here because he was not trying to help any motorcycle prince. He wanted rice seeds. The note also made it clear, rice seeds come first. Why is this kid so stubborn!
Along the way, he already knew Li Chongyi's character. Unless Li Mu was present, no one else could change what this kid decided. Wang Pu thought, well, since everyone came together, they have to go together. If he escapes by himself,
I have to risk my life and let Li Chongyi die here, and Li Mu will definitely not spare me. It is better for us to advance and retreat together, live together and die together. One day, Li Mu will learn the news, and he will not treat my family badly.
Having made a decision in his heart, Wang Pu felt relieved and said with a smile: "Big man, we will advance and retreat together! I'll go talk to Guluozhi, you wait for my news."
After saying that, Wang Pu got up and walked to the door, but was blocked by the guard. He said he wanted to find Guluozhi, so one of the guards separated and went to look for him on horseback. After a while, Guluozhi arrived on horseback.
Seeing Wang Pu waiting at the door, he quickly put on a smile and said: "It's really not right to disturb the envoy. But now we are preparing for the welcome ceremony. The streets are under martial law. It is inconvenient for the envoy to go out, so we should wait for a few days."
Let’s talk about it when it’s convenient. If your Majesty has any needs, just mention them and I’ll take care of them for you.”
Wang Pu rolled down his sleeves and said: "You don't need to cover up anymore, we might as well speak frankly. I know that there is turmoil in your country. Whether it is a rebellious minister usurping power or a rebel king usurping the throne, it has nothing to do with us. We are the Tang Dynasty.
The envoy, on the emperor's order, came here for rice seeds in Zhenla. After preparing the rice seeds and exchanging credentials, we will leave. We don't care about your affairs."
Guluozhi's face changed several times, and he wanted to cover it up again, but since the words had already been said, there was no point in covering up. Guluozhi thought for a while, calmed down, and said: "Does the envoy really think so?
?”
"nature!"
"The envoy will wait a moment." Guluozhi said nothing more, mounted his horse and left. After about half an hour, Guluozhi came back, dismounted and said: "My king has agreed to the envoy's request. Please grant the envoy a gift to the country."
The rice seeds are in the warehouse. After exchanging credentials, I immediately put them on the envoy and left. Moreover, my king also promised that he would send an equal amount of rice seeds to the Tang Dynasty every year. I only ask for one thing from the Tang Dynasty."
"speak."
"Please ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to confer my king the title of King Annan."
Wang Pu frowned and said: "What's the explanation for King Annan? Aren't you from the Zhenla Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty." Guluozhi finally revealed the truth and said: "Now there is no Zhenla Kingdom. Half a year ago, my king Zhanbo attacked Funan for fifty days. Funan Kingdom was destroyed, and he also attacked Zhenla. Ten
Five days later, the Tianla Kingdom was destroyed. Now, within a thousand miles, there is only Linyi, but no Funan or Zhenla. Such achievements have never been seen in ancient times. Therefore, my king sincerely requests His Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to confer on me the title of King Annan and lead the three kingdoms.
place."
Wang Pu was horrified. Along the way, he read a lot of books about Zhenla and asked Prince Moto many things, such as the customs and customs. He also heard about Lin Yi.
Linyi, in the Western Han Dynasty, was established as Xianglin County, Rinan County. It was called Xianglinyi, and Xiang was omitted, so it was called Linyi. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Qulian killed the county magistrate and claimed to be the king of Linyi. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he repeatedly invaded the border areas.
, during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty conquered Liu Fang and established Linyi County. However, during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains had no time to take care of itself, and Linyi returned to the country without losing its strength. Linyi's national power was even greater than that of Funan and Zhenla combined.
, but it’s not even half of it.
Prince Motorcycle was once worried that Lin Yi would invade Zhenla like Funan, but he did not expect that Lin Yi would destroy both Zhenla and Funan just after a trip to the Tang Dynasty!
