A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

The cannons on the side of the ship were opened, and the cannons were aimed at the coast one by one.

"Come closer!" Wu Laoqi commanded.

A large group of dark-looking Indians were wondering what was going on with the big ship on the sea, and they came to watch the big ship slowly approaching. The dark muzzles of each of them were aimed at their side, and a few curious Indians jumped into it. Haizhong intends to swim up to see clearly.

boom!

There was only a loud bang, and a black cannonball shot out from the muzzle, blasting flames into the sky among the crowd, and the wailing sound immediately filled the entire coast, and the successive cannonballs that hadn't recovered immediately drowned everything here.

The bombardment stopped after more than ten times. The Tianzhu people on the coast watched the big boat leave the port and breathed a sigh of relief, but what happened next made all the Tianzhu people on the shore terrified.

The boat circled around but changed direction, and the muzzle was still aimed at this place.

More than a dozen cannons rang out again, and the big ship swayed due to the recoil of the cannons. Looking at the chaotic port, Wu Laoqi said to his brothers, "Go ashore!"

After a round of bombardment, the Tianzhu village on the shore was in chaos. Wu Laoqi led his men ashore and pulled up a dark Tianzhu man and shouted loudly, "What is this?"

Unable to understand what the other party said, it was like a yelling, Wu Laoqi said to his brothers: "First lay down here, have a good meal, drink and rest."

This village is not big, it seems that there are only more than 30 households. More than 100 people including Wu Laoqi quickly took over here and tied all the villagers together. Wu Laoqi and his brothers were already starving and gorging eating their food.

After Wu Laoqi finished eating, he took several sips of water before regaining his breath, and yelled, "Damn it, the food here is really unpalatable."

It doesn't matter how bad it is to eat and drink when you have something to eat, and you are already satisfied if you can eat enough.

"Boss! Caught a guy who can speak Guanzhong dialect."

"It's strange, there are still people who can speak Guanzhong dialect in this ghost place." Wu Laoqi shaved his teeth and said, "Bring them here."

The person who brought him was an old man from Tianzhu. He faced Wu Laoqi and asked in Guanzhong dialect: "Dare to ask, but you are from Guanzhong?"

Looking at the old man, Wu Laoqi nodded and asked, "What is this place?"

"This is the east coast of Tianzhu." The old man Tianzhu said.

Wu Laoqi poured several sips of water into his mouth again, and he didn't stop until he couldn't drink any more. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived in Tianzhu. After wandering on the vast sea for so many days, he was really afraid that he came to the wrong place. It seems that Gu Qing's sea chart is really correct, and there is not much error in the direction of the compass. There has been despair and doubt in the sea with no reference, and he even thought that he would never be able to go ashore for the rest of his life.

"Who are you? How can you speak the Guanzhong dialect!" Wu Laoqi asked again.

"I am a minister of the Tianzhu royal family. A few years ago, I went to Chang'an in the Central Plains with other countries to meet His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. The Tianzhu royal family gave His Majesty the Tang Dynasty nine jade bottles. I was with a man named Gu Qing in the Taiji Hall. Question each other."

"Fart, you're the only one who knows Lord Gu? Do you know..."

Wu Laoqi signaled his subordinates to stop talking. A few years ago, there were indeed envoys from Tianzhu who went to the Tang Dynasty, and the battle of wits between Gu Qing and the envoys of other countries was a well-known story in Chang'an. Really.

It doesn't matter whether he is telling the truth or not, what I need is someone who can let me understand the situation.

Wu Laoqi walked up to him and asked again: "I think this fishing village is very dilapidated. Since you are a minister, why are you here?"

He returned in a low voice and said: "Dashi and Rome attacked Tianzhu together. This warrior also saw that there were not many men in this village. Most of the men were sent to fight. Now the royal family of Tianzhu has fallen into the hands of Rome. The entire palace has been taken, and I came here to escape for my life."

Tianzhu and Rome are already fighting?Tianzhu has fallen?Listening to his words, I didn't expect the Romans to move so fast, and they had already killed Tianzhu. After thinking for a while, I asked, "How is the battle going now?"

"I just know that Rome and Dashi are preparing to attack Tubo, and I don't know anything else."

"Boss, it seems we have come to the right place."

Wu Laoqi turned around with a smile, "The blind cat bumped into the dead mouse, it really made me touch the right place."

"For the sake of Tianzhu's tribute to the Tang Dynasty, please don't kill the villagers here. They are old and weak, women and children, and will not hurt you." The old man knelt on the ground and said.

Chapter 1022

Wu Laoqi grinned, "I don't need to kill them, you can lead us."

"Are these warriors going to Tibet?" the old man asked.

"Don't worry!" Wu Laoqi said to the old man in a low voice with a knife on his shoulder: "Your royal family has fallen into the hands of the Romans, so do you have other royal families in Tianzhu?"

"No more." The old man shook his head.

Wu Laoqi smiled again and said to him in a low voice: "Old guy, we brothers haven't opened for a long time. I want to be a big one. Do you want to be the king of Tianzhu?"

"Me?" The old man was very surprised.

"You don't have to do anything, you just need to be the king, and we will do things. As for Rome, it shouldn't take care of an old man who is dying, right?" Wu Laoqi said with a smile.

The old man frantically spoke Tianzhu dialect and waved his hands vigorously, as if refusing.

Wu Laoqi said again: "If you don't do it, leave it to others. We just need a puppet. After all our troops from the Tang Dynasty arrive from the sea, we will definitely launch a counterattack against Rome. At this time, we need someone to come Gather the hearts of Tianzhu for us, and this person is the future king of Tianzhu, you will do things for me from now on, and after our army arrives, it will be natural for you to become the new king of Tianzhu."

"You guys in Tianzhu have already reached this point. As long as our Great Tang defeats Rome, and our Great Tang enlists you, who dares to say anything more? Such a good opportunity is in front of you. I will give you a night to think about it. Understand and tell me."

Wu Laoqi immediately told the remaining brothers in front of the old man, "Move all the firearms and cannons on the boat, and the boat will be docked on the shore and ten brothers will be guarded. A row of bonfires will give the following fleet a direction."

"Yes!" The brothers nodded upon receiving the words.

"Let's go to Tianzhu's palace to see if there are any treasures that we can leak. This is the last time we will do work for Gu Qing. This time we will do a big one. I, Wu Laoqi, will definitely let my brothers live and eat for the rest of their lives. No worries."

Wu Laoqi said to all the brothers in front of him, "Brothers, sleep well and start working tomorrow!"

The old man from Tianzhu looked at these Datang people and said that they all fell down and fell asleep. They snored for a while, and they seemed to have not had a good rest for a long time. The old man was at a loss as to whether he should listen to the man from Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xuance had already entered the rear of Tianzhu, and along this mountain range, he could see the movements of the Romans in Tianzhu from a commanding height.

The soldiers who went out to patrol reported to Wang Xuance: "General, we walked for twenty miles, but we didn't find any Romans in the rear. They are all scattered, and there is a very strange thing."

"What weird thing?" Wang Xuance asked.

The soldier recalled: "We walked for about ten miles, and we heard the sound of artillery in a place where we could see the sea?"

"Cannon sound?" Wang Xuance was puzzled.

"Just for a moment, maybe the subordinates heard it wrong, and there was a lot of wind at that time."

Wang Xuance thought about where he is now. To the south of Nanzhao is a rainforest. After several small countries spanning hundreds of miles of rainforest, there is a small place called Bagan. This is the junction of Tianzhu and Bagan. There are no soldiers and horses in the small place, smaller than a state capital in Datang, so naturally you don't need to pay much attention to it. I remember seeing what is called Myanmar on Xue Rengui's map?

I just took a quick glance and didn't take a closer look. The map was said to be given by Gu Qing, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Even if there were gunshots, could it be that someone from Datang had rushed to help from the rear?

It's not right to think, even if there is a rush to help, it will not rush through several small countries from this mountain forest.

Wang Xuance asked again: "Is it the sound of artillery from the sea?"

"The subordinates are not very sure."

As the night was getting dark, Wang Xuance and his men began to move towards the back of Tianzhu, all the way to the seaside mentioned by the soldier, and walked along the sea in the middle of the night when they saw a large bonfire burning not far away.

Feeling strange in his heart, Wang Xuance looked around and saw lights floating on the sea, is it a ship?
