Chapter 606: Turtle in the urn
True La Kingdom.
Li Chongyi and his party arrived in Zhenla three days ago. At first, everything was as usual. When Linyi heard that it was the Tang envoy who came, he also made way for them to pass. When he reached the border, King Zhenla sent Gu Luozhi and Gao Xiangping, one of the five ministers, to welcome him, and to do his best to express his etiquette.
I entered Chameng that night and lived in the "Wingbin Building" of Zhenla Kingdom. An envoy came and was respectful and said that their king was preparing a grand ceremony to welcome the envoys of the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom. It took some time to prepare. I asked the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to stay in the Yingbin Building for a while. As long as I needed, even if I opened my mouth, the whole country of Zhenla Kingdom would be as satisfied as possible.
He naturally flattered Li Chongyi, and sent four beautiful women that night, but Li Chongyi drove them out. Wang Pu was not amusing to accept this, so he could only send the two little beauties reluctantly.
I settled down like this and stayed for three days.
On this day, Wang Pu came to find 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 thought of going to the market to see if there was anything that the Tang Dynasty did not have. The things were small and light, and it would be a huge profit to bring back the Tang Dynasty with nothing.
Li Chongyi was the leader, so he naturally had to discuss it with him. But when he came to Li Chongyi's room, he found that he was not there. He searched for a while and found Li Chongyi, who was frowning at the back door of Yingbin Building.
"Big man, what are you doing?"
After getting along the way, the two of them were already familiar with each other. Li Chongyi no longer got angry at the name of big man. Li Chongyi glanced at him and whispered: "I think something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Wang Pu looked around and said, "What's wrong?"
"We've been here for three days."
When Wang Pu was happy when he heard this, he said disapprovingly, "Are you doing this? Oh, didn't you say that you should prepare a grand ceremony to welcome it. This is called a national gift. Do you understand the national gift? We are the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, representing the Tang Dynasty." Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said, "Although we are fake, you have to pretend to be the same as the real one. Don't show your flaws."
Li Chongyi looked at him and said nothing.
Wang Pu continued: "Compared with our Tang Dynasty, Zhenla is a small country and a small place. We can come here because we give them great face. They are more grand, not for us, but for themselves, making the momentum big, so that the surrounding countries know that when Zhenla has contact with the Tang Dynasty, their purpose will be achieved. This is what the Marquis promised them, so that they can go to the market. It is not a short time for these days. I want to buy something in the market, but will you go? If you don't go, I will go with the Chongyi boy."
"wrong!"
Li Chongyi said coldly: "I think what you are saying is wrong. Even if King Zhenla is preparing to welcome us, what about the motorcycle prince who came with us? When he parted three days ago, he said that he would come here to take us for a trip tomorrow, but he didn't come, and the bearded Duolou next to him did not show up."
"Didn't you hear him on the way here? Zhen La Kingdom is the only one who is the legitimate prince. Can he be idle with such a big state gift? It must be busy. Isn't someone serve us? That's right? Gu Luozhi, yes, Gu Luozhi, his official position is more than his beard, and he is equivalent to our prime minister. He comes to greet him every morning, which is not enough?"
"I think something is still wrong." Li Chongyi stared at his cow eyes, which was like a copper bell, which scared Wang Pu. He saw that Li Chongyi's eyes were bloody again. He had seen Li Chongyi get angry, and his eyes turn red, which is a sign of his anger.
Wang Pu did not dare to provoke him, so he hurriedly said, "Big man, don't get angry. I'm wrong, you're right, you think something is wrong, isn't it okay if I say something wrong?"
Li Chongyi took a deep breath, tried to calm his tone, and said, "I think something is wrong, and it's not entirely up to guess. When I smell the smell of blood, I can't control myself from getting angry. Although I haven't seen it these days, I can feel that the smell of blood in the air is getting stronger and stronger, which means that people are dead in this city! Someone is killing people!"
"Murder?" Wang Pu was stunned and said, "It's impossible. We are the Tang envoys. The Tang envoys are here, who dares to make a rash?"
"I want to know, too."
After Li Chongyi finished speaking, he strode towards the door, pointed to the guard standing at the door, and said, "Go and call the motorcycle prince and tell him that there is something wrong with Tang Envoy."
The guard bowed and left. Soon after, Gu Luozhi came, and was far away. He smiled and walked closer and repeatedly apologized. Li Chongyi ignored his behavior and said the same thing, saying, "Come the motorcycle prince, I have something to discuss with him."
"The envoy Rong, the prince occasionally felt cold and it was inconvenient to meet him. If you have any questions, just tell me."
As soon as this said, Wang Pu also felt something was wrong. He looked at Li Chongyi and took the conversation and said, "When I parted three days ago, the motorcycle prince was still healthy. Why did he suddenly feel the wind and cold? The climate in Zhenla Kingdom is so warm, it is not easy to think about wind and cold, right?"
Gu Luozhi smiled and said, "The envoys don't know that there are two types of wind and cold. They are called wind and cold because of cold. They are called cold because of heat. They are both wind and cold. Your Highness, the prince, is obtained by heat, and may be transmitted to the envoys, so they cannot meet each other."
"That beard is duolou..."
"The king arranged for him to be responsible for the rituals, and it was so busy."
"Oh." Wang Pu also realized that something was wrong, but did not say more, smiled and said, "So that's the case, it's really a coincidence. Can you ask, how long will the ceremony be prepared for your country? I will stay away from the country for a long time and want to return to the country as soon as possible."
Guluo Branch said: "It won't be too long. Will the Shangshu stay in Yingbin Building in one or two days? Please don't blame the poor hospitality. Small countries have few people, so they cannot be compared with Shangshu."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Pu called out, then he decided to reveal it. After a few more greetings, he sent Gu Luozhi away, and Wang Pu's face also changed.
Although Wang Pu is a little playful, he comes from a famous family. Whether he likes it or not, he has to read history since he was a child. More than half of the records in history books are all kinds of royal affairs, including coups, palaces, military chaos, etc., which account for the largest amount of space.
The performance of the lonely Luozhi just now happened to be right. Wang Pu now wants to think about it better, but it is impossible.
That night, the guards in Yingbin Tower doubled, which further confirmed this conjecture.
