"I've been in Ryukyu, and when I came over, I felt a little cold this day!" Li Xiaogong pulled the cloak behind him and said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"General, it's windy on the deck, you can sit in and take shelter!" The lieutenant general on his side said to Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong shook his head: "After staying down for a long time, it makes people's heads dizzy, and when they come out to blow the wind, they are much more sober." ”

The lieutenant general looked into the distance and said, "General, it's okay to be in Ryukyu at this time, but the Wa Kingdom is even more north, facing Baekje across the sea, and it is already the northern land." What if the sea freezes when you get there? ”

"We're not going further north. Before, General Xia sent back a message saying that the weather at the southern tip of the Wa Kingdom is like that of the Ryukyus, and we only go to Kagoshima, so we don't have to worry about the problem of freezing on the sea. Li Xiaogong said: "He also said that if you really want to go north, you need to walk along the waterfront in the east of the Wa Kingdom, and you will basically not encounter sea freezing." ”

"How come General Xia even knows where the sea water is frozen and where it is not frozen? He is a man of God. The adjutant general was amazed.

Li Xiaogong laughed: "I know astronomy and geography, and I am talking about him." ”

In fact, for people in later generations, as long as you have studied a little high school geography in school, you will know that Japan is surrounded by the ocean, and it has a temperate oceanic monsoon climate, but because it is long and narrow, it runs through the three climatic zones of tropical, temperate and cold zones, and is affected by the dual influence of continental and marine climates, and the climate changes are relatively large, and the four seasons are distinct. Summers are generally warm and rainfall is abundant. In winter, there is a lot of snow and cloudy days on the Sea of Japan side, and the climate on the Pacific side is dry and multi-day on the Pacific side. In winter, the temperature difference between the north and the south is large, and the temperature difference between the north and south sections can even reach 20 degrees Celsius.

That's why Xia Hongsheng had this hint to Li Xiaogong.

"It is said that Brother Sheng has never been to the Wa Kingdom, how do you know that the sea in the west of the Wa Kingdom is easy to snow and freeze in winter, and the sea in the east is mostly sunny?" Li Chengqian had been standing by and looking at the sea in a trance, and when he heard Li Xiaogong's words, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Xiaogong replied: "I'm afraid that these are all the skills of Gewu." It's a pity that Chongyi went to the military academy earlier, otherwise, this king also let him go to Jingyang Academy to learn the skills of this thing from Xia Xiaozi. ”

"Although Cousin Chongyi went to the military academy, Chongde is at the right time. Uncle simply sent Chongde to the academy, and he could also take care of him with Brother Ke and Qingque. Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Xiaogong was about to answer, but suddenly saw the sentry next to him shouting: "General, the ship that reconnoitred in front has returned." ”

When Li Xiaogong heard this, he couldn't care about speaking, he took the telescope from the sentry's hand, looked ahead, and saw two small iron boats in front of him, two of them stepping on them, and the other four people were escorting two people, coming towards this side.

When they got to the side of the boat, they lowered the ladder and let them get on the boat.

Li Xiaogong first looked at the two people who were being escorted, and saw that the two of them were dressed, but they were widows.

I listened to the soldier who escorted the two men: "General Qiyu, when the lowly rank was patrolling the perimeter, he found that these two people were driving a boat to the fleet of the sailors, and they did not listen, so they arrested the two men. The two of them said that they were envoys of the Wa Kingdom, and they had a letter of the Wa State to present to the Tang Dynasty sailors. I don't know if it's true or not, so I brought it back and asked the general to decide! ”

"The National Book of the Wa Kingdom?" Li Xiaogong looked at the two and said, "Bring it." ”

"In the lower Wa State envoy Yada Be, specially for the Tang Dynasty Navy to present the Wa State of the State of Kuo." But he saw that one of the Japanese people took a step back, took out a Huang Juan, presented it to Li Xiaogong, and said at the same time: "The matter of the capture of the pirates by the Tang Jingyang Hou is already known to the lord of the Japanese country. Now, someone has been sent to investigate this matter with all their might, rescue Datang Jingyanghou, and definitely rescue Datang Jingyanghou unscathed and return it to Datang, and at the same time, we must also exterminate this group of pirates to calm Datang's anger! ”

When Yatabe Zao spoke, Li Xiaogong had already unfolded the yellow juan, looked at the contents inside, and also looked at the seal of the Japanese kingdom and the seal of the lord of the country stamped below.

"Your envoy can speak Chinese?" Li Xiaogong asked with a smile.

"In Shimoya Tabe, he was in the Sui Dynasty for ten years, and in the twenty-second year of the Sui Dynasty, he sent the deputy envoy of the Sui Dynasty to the former Sui." Yatabe said.

Li Xiaogong smiled and said, "I see! The lord of the country has a heart. Hehe, they are all marching people, they don't know how to pay respects, and the king's subordinates have offended, so please don't be surprised. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Yatabe seemed to be very respectful and humble, but he didn't dare to say anything, and said, "When my lord heard about this, he was deeply frightened. The land was barren and difficult to cultivate. Many people ventured to the sea and became pirates, and the Japanese court exterminated them many times, but in the end some of them still slipped through the net. This time, he was even more bold and kidnapped the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an has gone far away, and the lord of the country has just received the news and feels deeply guilty. He immediately ordered the pirates to hand over the Tang Jingyanghou, and began to gather various warriors, preparing to wipe out this group of pirates in order to eliminate the anger of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that the people in the Wa Kingdom have not seen this person in the Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to find out and confirm the authenticity of the hostages taken by the pirates. I also ask the general to send a person to accompany the envoy so that he can identify His Excellency Jingyang Hou! ”

"Good! Since the lord of the kingdom is so sincere, it is not good for this king not to provide convenience. Li Xiaogong said: "This king has a good relationship with His Excellency the Tang envoy, and he gathered here and stopped because he knew that the Wa Kingdom had always been obedient to the Tang Dynasty and would not do anything against the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he stayed here and waited, so as to leave more time for the lord of the country, find Jingyanghou, and return it to the king, and the matter was stopped. Hehe, looking at His Excellency the dog, this king reminded your envoy that although Jingyang Hou is only a marquis, his status is not low. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty, has made countless meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and is about to marry His Majesty's beloved daughter. That's why Your Majesty is so angry this time. I hope that your country will find Jingyang Hou as soon as possible, return it to this king, and bring it back to the Tang Dynasty, and you will be safe. Otherwise, the anger of the Son of Heaven is not something you and I can bear. I also hope that your envoy will convey this to the lord of your country, and don't say that this king has not reminded your country! ”

"The prince is noble!" When Yatabe heard Li Xiaogong claiming to be the king, he immediately guessed that he was the identity of the prince, so he bent down deeply, bowed, and made a grateful gesture and said: "The little envoy represents the Wa Kingdom, thank you for the reminder!" I also asked the prince to give a few days of grace, and now that the pirates have been found, they are hiding near Diaoyu Island, and our lord has ordered the mobilization of samurai, and at the same time, he has also sent people to negotiate with the pirates to ensure the safety of the Marquis of Jingyang. Once you get back to Jingyang Hou from the hands of the pirates, you will immediately completely exterminate the pirates to dispel Your Majesty's anger. Please rest assured, the general will do his best to ensure that Jingyang Hou is safe and sound and sent back to Datang! ”

"Good!" Li Xiaogong nodded and said with a smile: "Then the king is waiting for the good news of your country!" (To be continued.) )
