I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The two kings who ate their bellies turned around, turned their heads in surprise, looked in the direction the man pointed, and finally turned their eyes back to themselves.

This person... came to report the two of them?

The soldiers of Datang didn't pay attention to this person's report, but greeted the staff obediently and respectfully, and after explaining the reason, they walked to the table of the two of them.

As soon as he spoke, his voice was cold, with a hint of scolding, but the volume was not loud, even lower than usual: "Two, please come to the military account with us."

"This is Tongfu Restaurant, we don't want to disturb the cleanliness here."

The two kings suddenly realized.

I finally understand why there is not even a single nobleman in the entire city of Pyongyang.

It seems that if a person who looks like a nobleman appears, he will be reported, and then the soldiers of Datang will rush over at an incredible speed?
The King of Baekje hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands together: "The two of us are not from Goguryeo."

As he spoke, he paused, looked around, and lowered his voice: "I am the king of Baekje, and this is the document for customs clearance."

When this sentence fell, the guard next to him took out a post from his arms and handed it to the leading general.

He glanced over to confirm that the official seal on it was correct, then threw it back to the guard, nodded, glanced at the almost bare plate on the table, and said indifferently, "Oh, that's how it is."

"Then please be careful, both of you, and don't cause us any trouble."

The King of Baekje smiled and responded humbly.

This Great Tang general was at best fifth or sixth rank, and most likely only seventh or eighth rank. In the past, no matter how much the king of Baekje was afraid of Datang, he would not put down his airs like this.

But now it's different.

The status of an official of the eighth and ninth grades of the Tang Dynasty is even higher than that of the king of Baekje.

The Goguryeo businessman who reported was a little disappointed, and muttered, "It's not a nobleman from Goguryeo."

General Datang glanced at him.

The Goguryeo businessman clenched his fist, a little unwilling to give up: "Will the kings of Baekje and Silla not accept it? It won't be a matter of time..."

"Catch it now."

The reason why he refused to give up was because there was a reward for reporting - if he could catch a Goguryeo nobleman, at least there would be a reward of Tang money.

The higher the status, the richer the reward.

The Tang general laughed, and took off a small hanging copper coin from his waist, which looked like a hundred cash, and threw it to him casually: "Although you are not a nobleman of Goguryeo, you are considered to have contributed to the report."

"This hundred Xu Wen will be your reward, I will treat you to a drink."

The Goguryeo businessman immediately smiled and said, "Thank you Tang Ye."

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty bowed and apologized to the staff of the Tongfu Restaurant, bought a catty of Jade Jingqiu, and then turned away without further disturbance.

"Duke Zhengyang's position in the hearts of Tang people... is really extraordinary." Watching Tang Jun go away, the King of Silla sighed again, and looked at the busy beauties in the restaurant with some surprise and cautiously.

Restaurant buddy, to put it mildly, they are working for Lord Zhengyang, and to put it harshly, they are a group of people who work for slaves.

No matter how you climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, your own class is there.

This restaurant is in Pyongyang, so far away from Chang'an, even if these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not so respectful, the news might not reach Zhengyanggong's ears.

But... even with such a premise, these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still treat the restaurant staff respectfully.It is conceivable how high a status Duke Zhengyang holds in their hearts.

"It would be great if I could take refuge in Lord Zhengyang." The King of Baekje spit out a sentence for no reason.

The King of Silla shook his head and sneered: "It's a good idea. I heard that although Mr. Zhengyang is very gentle, the people who come and go with him are all Tang people, and he almost never wants to meet foreigners like us."

"Even in business, people from the Tang Dynasty are given priority. Do you still want to seek refuge in the past?"

"Then those people from Tang Dynasty don't have this chance."

King Baekje sighed in disappointment.

"I'm going to look for General Guo later, will you go with me?" The King of Silla turned his head to look at his companions and raised a topic.

General Guo is Guo Xiaoke.

Zhang Liang and Xue Rengui have all gone back to Chang'an, and this Guo Xiaoke is guarding here.

King Baekje nodded.

The two of them sat here for a while, digested their food, then got up, and then walked to the imperial city of Pyongyang, which is now General Anton's mansion.

Please vote on it.

The two waited at the door for nearly an hour and a half before the guards in the mansion called them in.

After being exposed to the sun for so long, the two of them dare not complain.He just waited respectfully, and was led by the guards, and entered the door respectfully.

Turning to the corridor and reaching the study room, I saw this General Guo who was wearing a red robe and was still at his desk busy with the scrolls.

The two of them imitated Tang etiquette and greeted each other in a dignified way.

Guo Xiaoke still ignored him, and after another half an hour, he raised his head and said in a flat tone, "You two are the kings of Baekje and Silla?"

They both nodded.

"What are you looking for me for?" Guo Xiaoke asked softly while putting down his pen slowly.

The two of them looked at each other, and the King of Baekje thought about his words, and said, "The two of us... are here to surrender to the Tang Dynasty."

Guo Xiaoke raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile: "Return?"

The two of them nodded heavily.

"We know what the Great Tang wants." The King of Silla said, cautiously, "We sincerely surrender and follow the Great Tang wholeheartedly."

"As long as it can save my two lives."

"Land and sovereignty, Datang please take them all."

The smile on Guo Xiaoke's face was slightly restrained, and he was not surprised by what they said—in fact, Li Shimin had told him before leaving that Silla and Baekje might surrender.

"What about the conditions?" Guo Xiaoke was silent for a while, tapped the table lightly, and said with a smile.

Since he took the initiative to surrender, it must be with conditions.

I don't know... what the conditions will be like.

The King of Baekje said: "I'm waiting... I just hope that Datang can spare the lives of his wife and children, and give some money to exchange for a property in Changfu, so that he can get a Tang nationality."

Guo Xiaoke finally had some surprise on his face.

This condition is a condition that neither Li Shimin nor he thought of before - not how high it is, but that these conditions are too easy to promise.

The previous preparations made by Datang were that the two kings asked the lion to open their mouths, continue to be kings in name, or open their mouths to ask for the title of Datang.

Li Shimin's bottom line is to grant them the title of a fourth-rank military official and a county magistrate.
