Guluozhi saw Wang Pu was silent and stared at his expression. The two guards behind him also put their hands on the handle of the knife. Once Wang Pu said the word "no", he would definitely raise the knife and drop it.
He died on the spot.
Wang Pu noticed this detail, but he pretended not to notice it and said with a smile: "So, your Excellency is already..."
Guluozhi did not feel ashamed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhenla also read the books of the sages of the Central Plains. I think there is a sentence in it that is very reasonable. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. They have a good life. It is a pity to die in vain. Is the envoy right?
?”
Wang Pu knew that Guluozhi's answer was a threat. He smiled and said: "Your Excellency is really familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, and you even know this sentence. Yes, this is indeed a good sentence." Pause.
After a moment, Wang Pu said: "Okay, I agree to your request, but you also need to promise me one thing."
Guluozhi was overjoyed. How to deal with the Tang envoys was a matter of concern to the king of Linyi. Li Tang wiped out all the rebels in the late Sui Dynasty and destroyed the powerful Turks. Various news had already reached Linyi.
Linyi was conquered by the Sui generals decades ago, and the whole country was already afraid. Facing a Tang Dynasty that had greater military strength than the previous Sui Dynasty, was it possible to say that we were not afraid?
These days, the King of Linyi has been discussing with the ministers, but no result has been reached. Guluozhi is all looking at it. If he succeeds in this matter, he will be rewarded by the King of Linyi, and he will be rewarded by high-ranking officials.
Lu is just around the corner. If he can promote the diplomatic relations between Linyi and the Tang Dynasty, then it is not impossible to expect that one person will be more powerful than ten thousand people!
Guluozhi immediately said: "Your Majesty, please tell me. No matter what happens, I will report it to your Majesty and make it happen for your Majesty."
"We have been ordered by the emperor to return to Chenla with Prince Motor. Now the situation has changed. Chenla has been destroyed. But if there is no Prince Motor, I may not be able to explain to His Majesty when we return. I wonder if Prince Motor can be handed over to me.
, let me wait and go back to resume my life?"
"This..." Guluozhi frowned. There was no need to ask this request. King Lin Yi would definitely not agree to it.
Wang Pu had already guessed it, but still asked: "Why, can't it be done? Or is the motorcycle prince dead?"
"Ah, I'm not dead after death." Guluozhi sighed and said, "I won't hide it from the envoy until now. When Linyi's army attacked the city, all the men in the Zhenla royal family, except for the female family members,
has been executed by the king. However, this move caused a civil uprising and made the people angry. The king did not intend to kill the motorcycle prince, but wanted to "
Wang Pu interrupted Guluozhi and said, "I understand what you mean. So, we can't take him away?"
Guluozhi was silent for a moment and said: "I can't take him away."
Wang Pu did not force him, and said: "If I can't take him away, can I meet him? We have been ordered by the emperor to have a receipt. When we meet the motorcycle prince, confirm that he is alive, and then ask him to write a handwritten letter, so that we can also
You can make a business trip."
Seeing what Guluozhi wanted to say, Wang Pu said again: "Oh, if you are worried, you can supervise."
Guluozhi took a long breath and said: "Then just obey the envoy, I will bring the motorcycle prince here tomorrow."
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly someone made a sound, and the two of them looked over and saw Li Chongyi walking over. Seeing Li Chongyi, who was two feet tall, Guluozhi subconsciously took two steps back, fearing that he would suddenly get violent and hurt his life. Li Chongyi moved.
Waved, Wang Pu leaned over, Li Chongyi whispered a few words to him, Wang Pu looked at Li Chongyi, and then returned to Guluozhi.
"Go and tell your king that the territory of the Tang Dynasty is more than ten thousand miles, and small countries like Linyi, Funan, and Zhenla, when added together, can only travel a thousand miles from north to south. It is really too small. Who can take responsibility for such a small place?
King, the Tang Dynasty doesn't care at all. Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, worrying that the Tang Dynasty will do anything bad to you. To put it bluntly, you are not qualified. If you don't have strange rice seeds here, we won't
It will come. But now that it is here, things must be done. As we just said, whether it is Linyi or Zhenla, what we want is rice seeds. Just give them rice seeds. It doesn’t matter who inherits the Tang Dynasty.
, it doesn’t matter whose credentials you change. You should be prepared, we are going to see your king tomorrow, so you can’t just send us away casually!”
"I'm afraid... Sir, that's not what we just said."
Wang Pu frowned: "Does Lin Yi want to be rude to the Tang Dynasty? You have also seen that I am not the envoy, I am just the deputy envoy. The envoy has spoken, do I dare to say no?" He said, lowering his voice again.
The voice said: "It's not like you haven't noticed that we are having a bad temper. If you don't want your life, I want my life too!"
"This..." Gu Luozhi glanced at Li Chongyi and felt scared, so he had no choice but to agree and said, "I understand, and I will try my best to facilitate it."
"Very good, please come back."
Guluozhi left worriedly. Wang Pu led Li Chongyi back to the lobby, made sure no one was eavesdropping, and asked anxiously: "How can you be so bold and have such an idea?"
"Brother told me that you can get riches and honors in danger. How can you achieve great things without courage? I have been eavesdropping for a long time. Now the biggest one on the other side is King Linyi. As long as we capture him, everyone else will have to listen to us.
, who dares not to listen, I will crush him to death, and everyone will break up!"
Wang Pu complained endlessly, slapping his thigh and saying: "You, who did you learn this from? How come you risk your life at every turn? You don't want to live, but I still want to live!"
"Of course I learned from my eldest brother!" Li Chongyi said in a deep voice: "My eldest brother is an upright man and he will never submit to anyone. If my eldest brother were here, he would definitely do the same thing. You don't need to say more. Tomorrow
I wear armor, so you should wear my leather armor under your clothes, otherwise the sword has no eyes and I won't be able to care about you in a fight."
Wang Pu couldn't laugh or cry: "That leather armor of yours is so big, who can wear it? Okay, big man, you don't have to worry about me anymore, I'll just take care of it."
Li Chongyi didn't say anything else. He just said "I'll go talk to Chongyi" and left.
Wang Pu sighed, but there was nothing he could do, so he went back to his room full of sorrow. On the other hand, Gu Luozhi went back to see King Linyi and explained the Tang envoy's request. King Linyi called the ministers to discuss it together overnight.
.Some people say that there may be fraud, but more people are optimistic. They believe what Wang Pu said. For the Tang Dynasty, small countries like Linyi, Zhenla, and Funan are really not worth mentioning. People don't care.
It's fair to say that to care is to think too highly of oneself.
Now, in the Yingbin Building, there are only about ten people including the Tang envoy and his entourage. Even if there is fraud, how far can it go? But if you don't give the Tang envoy this face, you will offend the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid Lin Yi will have to copy it a few times.
What was conquered by the Sui Dynasty ten years ago was once again reduced to a county in the Tang Dynasty!
After thinking about it, King Linyi made a decision to meet with the Tang envoy tomorrow to exchange his credentials!
