Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Wei Xiaobao picked up the visiting card and saw that it stated that the envoy to Goryeo was Long Keduo, the right vice minister of the Lifanyuan who was in charge of foreign affairs; the eunuch who announced the decree was Wen Youdao, the deputy eunuch in front of the emperor; and the guard was Shi Lang, the admiral of the Beijing Navy.

"Huh?" Wei Xiaobao asked in surprise, "Aren't these the same people who came to Ryukyu Kingdom to announce the imperial decree last time?"

He remembered that he didn't want Kangxi to know that he was still alive, so he hid and didn't see them. He was worried that Kangxi would cause trouble for his mother, wife and children, and then use them to force him to show up.

But now it's different. After so much development, Wei Xiaobao has become very strong, and he has enough confidence to deal with any challenge. Therefore, this time he decided not to hide anymore, but to face these three people bravely.

"Okay!" Wei Xiaobao slammed the table and stood up. "Since he's an old acquaintance, we should meet him."

He thought to himself: "I now have a strong army, powerful ships and powerful guns, plus my peerless magical powers. Even if Kangxi himself comes, what can he do? I can kill dozens of cows with one punch. What is there to be afraid of?"

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh. For him, the current strength was enough to make him no longer afraid of anyone or anything.

"Let's go!" Wei Xiaobao stood up, "Let's go out and meet these three old friends."

After saying this, he ordered his men to change their clothes and dress in their best attire to welcome the envoys from the Qing Dynasty.

In the reception room of the king's tent, Wei Xiaobao was wearing a uniform of the Marshal of the Heaven and Earth Army covered with medals, and Ling Zhao was wearing a brown and yellow imperial robe. The two of them sat solemnly in the main seats, with several palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides.

"Announce the Qing Dynasty's envoys to the emperor!" a eunuch in the tent shouted loudly.

After a while, Long Keduo, Wen Youdao and Shi Lang walked in.

The three of them lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. After entering, they immediately bowed and said in unison: "Foreign minister Long Keduo (Wen Youdao/Shi Lang) pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and His Excellency the Grand Commander of the Heaven and Earth Federation."

"No need to formalize, please take a seat!" Ling Zhao said majestically.

The three of them agreed and sat down one by one on the seats on the left.

After they sat down, the three of them dared to slowly raise their heads and look towards the main seat.

"Wei..." Wen Youdao's eyes widened and he was about to shout out, but Long Keduo next to him covered his mouth with his hand.

"Brother Wen, if you want to shout, just shout. Long Keduo, don't stop him." Wei Xiaobao said with a smile on his face.

Wen Youdao couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at Wei Xiaobao again and again and asked doubtfully, "Master Wei, is it really you? I am not dreaming!"

"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? You two brothers still owe me two hundred and thirty taels of silver." Wei Xiaobao laughed.

When Wen Youdao heard this, he already had the answer in his mind and was sure that the person sitting above was undoubtedly Xiao Guizi.

He was so excited that he immediately stood up, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed, saying, "Your servant Wen Youdao pays his respects to Lord Wei."

"Brother Wen, I'm not your lord anymore. There's no need to pay me such respects. Get up quickly." Wei Xiaobao hurried forward and helped him up.

"Lord Wei, even if you are not a lord, you are still the prince consort, so you still have to pay your respects." Wen Youdao explained with a smile.

"Haha, it's up to you. Now that you've paid your respects, please take a seat!" Wei Xiaobao smiled helplessly.

"Your subordinate Long Keduo greets Lord Wei!"

"Your humble servant Shi Lang pays respect to Lord Wei!"

Shi Lang once served as the admiral of the navy under Wei Xiaobao, so he called himself a humble official.

"Please stand up quickly, both gentlemen. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite." Wei Xiaobao quickly helped the two men up.

"Lord Wei, it's been more than a year since we last saw you! We miss you day and night!" Long Keduo said with emotion.

"Yes, Lord Wei, since you are not in the capital, I have no confidence in doing anything!" Shi Lang echoed.

"Haha, you two know how to make me happy." Wei Xiaobao smiled and shook his head, then asked, "Long Keduo, how is the emperor these days?"

"My Lord Wei, the emperor is in good health and in high spirits. He has recently taken in a few concubines and now has more than ten princes and princesses." Long Keduo replied respectfully.

"Oh? So many children? That's really a happy event!" Wei Xiaobao said in surprise.

"That's right. The emperor said that all this was thanks to Lord Towei!" Long Keduo said with a smile.

"Haha, no, no, this is all because of the emperor's great fortune and many descendants!" Wei Xiaobao said modestly.

"Shi Lang, I still remember that two years ago you said that I would be crowned king within ten years. I thought it was a bit exaggerated at the time, but now it seems that your prediction is amazingly accurate! Not only have I become the commander-in-chief of the Heaven and Earth Federation, but I have also been named Prince Yamato of Japan. I wonder if you are willing to follow me and conquer the world? If you agree, I can give you a powerful fleet that will allow you to dominate the entire East China Sea." Wei Xiaobao invited Shi Lang with confidence and domineering eyes.

Shi Lang was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect Wei Xiaobao to think so highly of him, and the conditions he offered were very tempting. However, he still replied respectfully, "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Wei, but my whole family is in China, and I really do not dare to be as free and unrestrained as you are."

Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and was a little surprised by Shi Lang's refusal.

He originally thought that with his current status and strength, Shi Lang would follow him without hesitation.

However, Shi Lang chose to stay in China because of his family. This made Wei Xiaobao realize that it was not easy to recruit truly talented people. However, he did not give up, but thought that he must persuade Shi Lang when he had the opportunity in the future.

If the Tiandi Army wanted to lead its navy into the deep blue and compete with the world powers, it still needed a general who truly understood naval warfare. And Shi Lang was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Shi Lang with a smile, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

After reminiscing about the past, Longkodo began to talk about business. He said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Lord Wei, we came to Goryeo this time because we learned a sad news. Li Yun actually ignored our repeated orders and not only did not stop driving away and killing the Jurchen tribesmen in the Changbai Mountains and south of the Tumen River, but also continued to encroach on our territory.

What is even more hateful is that he ignored our demands and even attempted to sever the suzerain relationship with the Qing Dynasty. He planned to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and convened the so-called Wumeng Conference in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

This time, we came here on the orders of the Emperor, taking advantage of the moment when Li Yun ascended the throne, to issue a final ultimatum, ordering him to correct his wrong behavior immediately, otherwise my Qing cavalry of 100,000 will flatten the entire Goryeo Kingdom."
