"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 that he realized something was wrong.
When I went to court today, wasn't I the last person in line? So where did the people behind him come from?
Thinking of this, Dou Xiaoyong, who was somewhat alert, suddenly turned his head and saw three shabby 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 on top of the Golden Palace and didn't dare to make any noise, he would have jumped three feet high by now!
what happened! Are all the palace guards dead? How can we put 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 seemed! The more I look at them, the more I think I’ve seen them somewhere! But for a moment, I couldn't remember where I had seen them.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Dou Xiaoyong for being blind to Mount Tai and blind to a dragon. The gap between his current official position and that of Xiao Han and Liu Hongji is too big!
He is the Duke of the current dynasty, the Marquis! A dignified second-grade official!
And he is a little seventh-grade Sesame Officer. Let alone dealing with each other on weekdays, even when they meet, he would only dare to bow his head and bow, and never dare to raise his head to take a closer look! The only time you can see someone's appearance is when you go to court or other important occasions and take a look 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 at his most depressed!
In the morning, he had just received an eight hundred 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 Chang Sun Wuji winking at him frequently, knowing that he was reminding him of his diplomatic attitude. It is important to take state affairs as the priority. In desperation, I can only change my words and announce that a few people will come in.
"Xuan, the Japanese envoy is here to see you!"
The envoys of the Japanese state 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. This was not the case for the envoys of the Japanese state. Therefore, after hearing Li Shimin's order, several of them were short in stature, at most only as big as Xiao Han's chin. 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 murder 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, only bowed and opened their mouths to question.
"Fuck your mother!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he frowned and said nothing. However, several people jumped out of the generals' platoon. 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 mind, they have no concept of loyalty and integrity at all!
Therefore, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty people, those greetings to the female elders of the other party, which were regarded as extremely shameful and humiliating, in their eyes, 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 Cheng Yaojin was stunned, but Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou, Changsun Wuji and others were also stunned! Even Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the dragon chair!
It was so quiet in the Golden Palace that you could hear a pin drop clearly at this time!
And almost everyone in the Golden Palace, including the civil and military officials, were looking in one 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 around them, they immediately became a little alert and turned to stare 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. After thinking about it, he stretched out the other hand and answered: "Ten ships of silk, ten ships of porcelain, plus ten ships of porcelain." Tea, ironware, paper and other items..."
