Chapter 569: Another plan
Thinking about it this way, it is impossible that the Sirius Emperor did not know the background of the Tang Dynasty, but still dared to make moves against the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the two countries would not be much different. If the Tianlang Kingdom launches an all-out war against Da Gan, if Da Gan kills only a few people, they will probably be crushed.
In this era of war and chaos, if you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Thinking, he clenched his fists.
This time, he wanted to accomplish two things. Only in this way can Da Qian be kept safe.
First, establish an alliance with Datang. If one day the Sirius Kingdom desperately attacks Daqian, Datang can send troops to help.
Second, ask Datang for some weapons and armor. In the past, he bought food on a large scale and plundered some big families. Now Daqian is not short of food, and the national treasury is gradually filling up.
Although if this momentum continues, the army will become more numerous and stronger, but that will happen later.
At the moment, Da Gan doesn't have many weapons, and he has to give some of them to Da Qi to contain the Sirius Kingdom, so the shortage is even worse.
He wants to ask for weapons and armor from the Tang Dynasty, so as to ensure that when the Sirius Kingdom attacks, he does not want to defeat them, but only wants to be able to defend them for ten days and a half until the Tang Dynasty attacks.
Only in this way can everything be guaranteed to be foolproof.
But the first one is easy, but the second one is extremely difficult.
"Do you want to visit Chang'an City, or go directly to the inn we have prepared."
Sun Wufeng asked.
"Let's go back to the inn first."
Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and answered.
After meeting the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, they had enough time to visit Chang'an City, and they were not in a hurry.
"it is good."
Sun Wufeng responded, and everyone walked through another street, and an inn named Sixiangguan appeared.
"This is one of the best inns in our city of Chang'an. Our people will come back at 3:30 tomorrow to take you to the morning court. You have also helped Datang this time. If you need anything, just ask."
Back at the inn, Lin Xiaofan's heart was not at peace. One is because he saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is because of the appearance of Sun Wufeng.
What virtue and ability do I have to let Sun Wufeng, who has always been a man of great promise in the Tang Dynasty, welcome me in person?
Just because he helped defeat the Sirius Kingdom?
That shouldn't be the case either. Daqian was far inferior to Datang. Sun Wufeng personally came to greet him. To be honest, it was a bit unruly.
What are the intentions of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and Sun Wufeng?
Moreover, why did Sun Wufeng come to greet him in person? Did the Tang Dynasty pay so much attention to Daqian?
For a moment, he felt that this trip was becoming more and more difficult.
However, he felt a little sleepy after traveling all the way. He ate something, took a shower, and fell asleep.
The city of Chang'an seems calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging.
The officials already knew that Lin Xiaofan, the envoy of Daqian, was here.
They had all heard about this young man who had shown his talents in recent years, but they didn't care much.
After all, Daqian was just a small country. No matter how much Lin Xiaofan tried, he would not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Xiaofan conveniently helped Datang to destroy an army of Sirius, but it didn't attract too much attention from them. After all, just giving him some reward would be enough.
But an envoy from a small country was actually greeted by Sun Wufeng in person.
For a moment, they were all confused.
Xiao Tiansheng went to the imperial study and talked with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty all night long, talking about the ups and downs along the way.
In contrast, Lin Xiaofan slept soundly.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Xiaofan was woken up by someone knocking on the door.
"Enter!"
He yawned, his tone a little dissatisfied, the day was still gray, why did you ask him to get up?
"Sir, General Sun has ordered you to attend the morning court."
A slave came in and bowed.
"Understood, let's go down."
Lin Xiaofan waved to him, tidied up a little, and left the inn. Also coming out with him were Fengsheng, Duanmu Ker, and Duanmu Liangjiang.
Sun Wufeng had been waiting for a long time and was still smiling. Apart from wearing an official uniform, he looked like an ordinary old man.
"The four of you, go together."
Lin Xiaofan and Sun Wufeng got into a carriage together, and the carriage drove slowly towards the palace.
Sun Wufeng put his hands on the crutches and closed his eyes, as if he was resting his mind.
"General Sun."
Lin Xiaofan spoke.
Sun Wufeng glanced at him and said:
"You want to ask why I came to pick you up in person?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, and then he nodded slightly.
"Don't be nervous. Due to my status, it is indeed inappropriate to come to pick you up in person. But I appreciate you more, so I told the emperor and came in person."
Sun Wufeng smiled kindly and looked at Lin Xiaofan carefully, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Here comes General Laosun."
Lin Xiaofan felt the kindness from the other party and felt warm in his heart.
It was quite warm inside the carriage, and Lin Xiaofan yawned. The inn was not far from the palace. Within a quarter of an hour, he entered the palace and came all the way to the outside of the court.
At this time, the place was already filled with officials, and the civilian and military generals were divided into two groups. Sun Wufeng was the last to arrive.
Seeing Sun Wufeng, many officials did not dare to show any signs of neglect and greeted Sun Wufeng one after another. In this regard, Sun Wufeng always smiled and nodded to everyone.
"You guys wait outside first."
Sun Wufeng said, and then stepped in alone.
This is the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and Lin Xiaofan readily accepts it.
However, the winter wind in the Tang Dynasty is a bit cold.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, a uniform voice suddenly sounded from above the court, surging like waves:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Immediately afterwards, a majestic and steady voice sounded, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples: "Ai Qing is standing alone, and the envoy of Xuan Da Qian enters the palace."
Under the guidance of several guards, Lin Xiaofan and others slowly entered this solemn and solemn hall.
Entering the main hall, the magnificent interior scenery immediately comes into view. On the dragon chair, the emperor sat upright, with a majestic face and a burning gaze. On both sides stood hundreds of civil and military officials, dressed in court uniforms with solemn expressions, quietly waiting for the envoy to see him.
Countless gazes shot over like sharp arrows, some were full of curiosity, while others were filled with hostility.
Lin Xiaofan's eyes lightly glanced at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was sitting on the dragon throne. He looked to be about thirty years old. He was dressed in a luxurious dragon robe. He was handsome and had a burning gaze, as if he could see into people's hearts, making people afraid to look at him.
After walking a few steps forward, Lin Xiaofan took a deep breath to calm down, then stepped forward, walked to the center of the hall, bowed deeply, and sang loudly:
"Envoys from distant countries, by order of the king of our country, are here to pay homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor. I hope that the friendship between the two countries will last forever and that we can work together for peaceful development."
Emperor Tang's eyes fell on Lin Xiaofan. After a long time, he nodded slightly and glanced at the ministers beside him.
The minister took a step forward and said:
"A few days ago, an elite group of Heavenly Wolf appeared in the southeast of our country, intending to seize Guangling City. Daqian envoys helped Datang, and first ambushed and killed thousands of the enemy. Later, during the city defense battle, they worked together to capture Lieutenant General Tie of the Sirius Army alive. Yan, I am very pleased to be guarding Guangling City with General Xiao."
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty nodded slightly:
"Send it up."
It is normal for envoys to bring gifts when they come to form an alliance.
"Your Majesty, the gift I brought is called Lei Zhenzi. It is a sharp weapon. Once activated, it has infinite power. It is not easy to display it in this court."
When Lin Xiaofan spoke, Lei Zhenzi also expressed his sincerity.
After experiencing so many battles, Lei Zhenzi's matter must not be hidden anymore. Such sharp weapons will definitely be competed by countless countries and forces. Therefore, he was even more eager to form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and obtain the protection of the Tang Dynasty.
Upon hearing this description, the Tang Emperor's interest was immediately aroused. He had heard about this thing countless times and wanted to get it very much. Even if Lin Xiaofan didn't mention it, he would still mention it.
"Okay, I am also curious about such rare things. Ministers, let's move outside the palace."
Emperor Tang stood up.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so interested, the ministers had no intention of refuting, and they had also heard about Lei Zhenzi and were full of curiosity.
Everyone found an open space and formed a large circle consciously. The innermost layer is the palace guards holding shields and wearing armor, and the outer layer is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his ministers.
"Your Majesty, the power of Lei Zhenzi is terrifying, please step back a little more."
Lin Xiaofan visually measured the distance and spoke.
"The emperor's dragon body is important. This thing is very evil. I hope the emperor will take a few steps back."
The Minister of the Tang Dynasty ordered Yang Jin to speak. Shangshu Ling was in charge of Shangshu Province and was one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, this object is extremely powerful. This distance is indeed too close."
Xiao Tiansheng also stood up. Unlike the others, he had personally witnessed the power of Lei Zhenzi. Although there was a circle of imperial guards protecting them, the explosion was likely to cause unnecessary casualties.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty glanced at Xiao Tiansheng and nodded slightly:
"Back three feet more."
"Your Majesty, three feet is too little."
