[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 20 Conquer 17

When the news of the dispatched mission and Japanese envoys missing in a storm at sea reached Chang'an, Yang had just entered the palace from Bieye to see Wu Xu. Upon hearing the bad news, she fainted immediately.

Forget about others, her Dalang went with the mission!

In other words, she just fell in love with a very nice little lady, so... what should I do? !

Yang's urgent pain made Wu Xu very sad. In the end, Wu Minzhi would go to sea with her, and she agreed. Now it's good. I didn't find out the details of the Japanese country, so I lost a big nephew!

Wu Xu was so annoyed that she scratched her heart and lungs, and Her Royal Highness's eyes were red when he heard the bad news. If it weren't for his father and mother who were still questioning the messenger carefully, he would probably rush over and grab the messenger. The collar cos is roaring!

"What's going on? There will be a storm at sea this month?" Wu Xu repeated only one sentence.

Although it has been three months since the mission was sent to Jincheng, the wind direction at sea has not turned yet. In theory, it should be smooth sailing to the country of Wa. How could there be a storm? !

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu also grimaced, glaring at the messenger who came to report the news, and said, "Have you sent a boat to search for it? Do you have any news?"

The envoy was at least a lieutenant-level officer, and he was sweating profusely at the moment. If he hadn't practiced his courage on the battlefield, the young man would have been scared to the ground by the expressions of these big men in the palace. .

"Sage, the east sea originally had a north-south circulation of the sea tide. Every spring, there will be a rush of heat from the extreme south, and there will be heavy rains on the sea..." The young general said: "The governor once dissuaded Li Xianggong, but... ..."

With Li Sanlang's temper, it is estimated that he would not listen to Xue Rengui's dissuasion. Besides, there was a Hanoi whale in the mission who was eager to return to the country of Wa. The group did not believe that there would be a storm in this season, so they went out to sea insisting on their own way.

As a result, something went wrong.

When Xue Rengui got the news of the mission's accident, he immediately took a boat out to sea to search for people, but found nothing except a sunken ship.

Now Xue Rengui's cold sweat also came down. The people in the repatriation mission are not idle people, just like Mr. Li, who is the most favored by the queen's wife in the empire. Xu Shilang, who is like his heart must be different' theory, has risen to the sky, and the most terrible thing is that the nephew of the empress's wife is leading the escort and protection mission this time!

Xue Rengui wants to die already!

He personally led people to search at sea day and night for three days, but they didn't even find a broken ship plank.

This is really not seeing people alive but not seeing dead bodies!

In the end, there was no other way, Xue Rengui had no choice but to ask his deputy to rush to Chang'an to report the letter, and sent a thick letter of apology by the way.

The deputy general was also a man of eloquence. After seeing His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, he tried his best to defend his family's governor, and described in detail that the governor Xue was wandering on the sea with all the officers and men in order to find someone...

Even His Majesty Li Xiaojiu couldn't blame Xue Rengui anymore.

"Xue Rengui only found a broken ship? Then..." Wu Xu was very puzzled after hearing what the young general said. She actually wanted to ask Xue Rengui if he didn't find one or two corpses?

But seeing her son's expression was so bad, Wu Xu had no choice but to swallow the words first.

On the other hand, the young general was really clever, and he understood Wu Xu's meaning after listening to her words, so he replied: "My lady, the governor led people to patrol the sea for several days, and only saw countless broken ship planks, as for the corpses... I saw a few corpses, and they were all from the Japanese country, and..." At this point, the young general showed a strange look on his face, and continued: "Our chief inspected the corpses carefully... almost all of them were sealed with a sword. Throat kills, not drowns..."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall were different.

When His Royal Highness heard that those corpses were all Japanese, he was already relieved, and when he heard that those people all died from sword wounds, his expression became very strange...

"So, apart from the body of the Japanese, there was no... trace of anyone from the sent mission?" Wu Xu asked again.

"Yes, the Commander-in-Chief went around the coastline, but there was no sign of any boats. The Commander-in-Chief Liu also sent a boat to search for it on the west coast, but they didn't find anything..." The young general put himself before he came here. All the known information has been explained.

Wu Xu heard that Xue Rengui and Liu Rengui had circled the island for a week, but they still didn't find any other boats, so they couldn't help but feel moved.

Li Xiaojiu seemed to have thought of a certain possibility, and his face looked a little better.

If no shipwreck or corpses were found, then the repatriation mission may have gone east...

Sure enough, two days later, Baekje County sent another urgent courier with the latest news about the repatriation of the mission.

Sure enough, Li Sanlang and others have successfully arrived in the country of Wa.

But unfortunately, Hanoi Jing, the left minister of the Japanese kingdom, accidentally fell into the sea in a storm and died. All his guards also fell into the sea and lost their traces in order to save him.

As a result, the fleet that arrived at the Wa State lost two large ships, one carrying the Wa State envoys and their personal guards, and the other carrying a large number of Tang native products.In the end, the only ones that arrived at the Kyushu port of the Japanese kingdom intact were the four large ships carrying the missions sent by the Tang Dynasty and a small ship carrying the servants of the Japanese envoys.

The eldest brother, the Crown Prince, received the letter that Hanoi Whale was going back to China two months ago, and he was overjoyed when he heard that his Minister Zuo had collected a large ship of "special products" in Chang'an and returned.

He didn't want to go to Kyushu Port to meet the returning fleet in person, his joy was in vain.

His left minister was gone, but a little white face with a pair of peach blossom eyes was ushered in.

The eldest brother, the crown prince, has been able to stand in Japan for many years, but he is not an ordinary person. He only played two rounds of Tai Chi with this little Li Xianggong from the Tang Dynasty, and he knew that this young man was not easy.

The eldest brother, the crown prince, could only put on a modest attitude and welcome everyone from Datang back to the capital of Jinjiang. Originally, he thought that since the large ship that Hanoi Whale had so hard to loot was gone, the Datang mission would always bring something good, right?

According to the news from previous envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty married Tubo, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent hundreds of carts of books, calligraphy, paintings, seeds, tools, and even craftsmen to Tubo. This is the first time that the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy. When you go to the Wa country, you should give them some books, calligraphy and paintings anyway, right?

Maybe it was because the elder brother, the crown prince, was looking at Mr. Li too hotly. Both Xu Shilang and the head of the military guard couldn't help glaring at the Japanese prince.

Mr. Li didn't realize it, and he smiled brightly, and said to the eldest brother, the crown prince: "I have heard the name of the prince for a long time, and it is a great fortune to meet you today..."

Eldest brother, the crown prince, has never seen such an exquisite person as Li Sanlang, he almost lost his soul by his smile, and after a while he said in a daze: "Li Jun is like a heavenly man, if you are lucky enough to meet him, you are lucky in your life!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his eyes again, not daring to look at Li Sanlang's handsome face, and sighed: "When the angel of the Tang Dynasty came, I only felt joy falling from the sky, but I can only lament the unfortunate death of Lord Hanoi..."

Li Sanlang immediately restrained his smile when he heard the words, and accompanied the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, and sighed: "Isn't it? The past few years have been quite difficult for me in Tang Dynasty..."

Speaking of this, Li Sanlang felt hypocritically: "There was a violent storm that day, and our military general even went back to rescue Mr. Hanoi's ship. He didn't want Mr. Hanoi to save the ship full of Tang Dynasty land regardless of his own safety. Yi's big boat, the result... Alas!"

As soon as this remark came out, the eldest brother, the Crown Prince, became even more depressed.

Master Xu Yu and Wu Minzhi both knew the inside story of that day. Although the former was Li Sanlang's direct subordinate, he had never seen his superior speak nonsense with his eyes open, so he couldn't help showing a strange expression.But Wu Minzhi is used to facial paralysis, and he knows Li Sanlang's weird temperament, so he keeps a cold face and pretends to be superior.

Li Sanlang saw that the eldest brother, the crown prince, was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't say anything, so he couldn't help but add another fire.

"Mr. Hanoi sacrificed his life for a boatload of sundries, and I really don't deserve it. In fact, those things are just trivial things in our Datang..." Li Sanlang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this time, I will serve you in the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Escorting the minister of your country back to the country also brought some small gifts, I hope the crown prince will not dislike him!"

When the eldest brother, the crown prince, heard this sentence, his eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "Things of the heavens, Gu has always been regarded as a priceless treasure, how can there be talk of dislike, haha..."

"That's good~~~~~~" Li Sanlang also chuckled, and winked at the accompanying guard, who immediately presented a two-foot-square brocade box.

"This is a luminous pearl that I specially selected for the queen's wife, and I instruct you to present it to the prince as a meeting gift..." Li Sanlang said, and opened the brocade box.

All the candlelight in the room immediately dimmed a lot under the shining light of the night pearl.

It took a long time for everyone to get used to the radiance of the night pearl and see clearly the beads in the brocade box.

Wa country is an island country, theoretically he should have seen all kinds of pearls, so when Li Sanlang said that the Empress of Tang Dynasty gave him a luminous pearl, his face was clearly disappointed.

But when he actually saw the luminous pearl in the box, the crown prince also had a look of surprise on his face.

The things of the Celestial Dynasty are really extraordinary!

Even though this big pearl was about to become his possession, the eldest brother, the crown prince, was still very upset.

Although pearls are good, they are not as good as Datang's academic skills...

Li Sanlang smiled and admired the strong smile of the eldest brother Crown Prince for a while, and said: "This is just a small gesture of the empress's wife, and it is also to thank the few precious stones that your country gave to Datang..."

"By the way, the crown prince may not know that those precious stones have already been cut into dozens of pieces by our sage, and they are inlaid with phoenix crowns for the empress. The empress likes it very much~~~~~~"

"Therefore, before the minister's mission, the Queen's wife specially wrote to the sage to exchange all the worthless calligraphy, paintings, books, agricultural tools and seeds that were originally given to your country with gold and silver jewelry. I hope the prince will like it ^__^"

Eldest Brother Crown Prince: "..." He really wanted to vomit blood, did he really want to!
