As for Inugami Santian, his face was full of anxiety.
Although I wanted to refute, I couldn't find any reason.
Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others who were watching on the side were also secretly surprised.
They had never seen these Japanese envoys being so humble in front of the King of Jin.
At the same time, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly hate that these small country hozens were really cheap.
If you are harmonious, these hozens will be very arrogant. But if Xuanba is so domineering, these hozens will be so mean!
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, your envoy is being rude!"
Inugami Mita Shu saluted and apologized to Li Xuan.
"snort!"
Li Xuan just snorted coldly, "If you have nothing to do, leave!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin..."
Inugami Mita Shu's heart sank, and he regretted his actions just now. Not only did he not sell his territory, but he also angered the King of Jin who was the only one who could save him.
"What else do you want?"
Li Xuan still looked at Inugami Mita Shu with a cold expression.
"I would like to ask His Highness the King of Jin to forgive me. I am just a little confused about the price of liquor and do not mean any offense. Moreover, I would like to ask His Highness the King of Jin to save my life!"
Inugami Mitaru said quickly.
"Why should I save you?"
Li Xuan asked directly.
"this?"
Hearing this, Inugami Mita Shu couldn't help but be confused. Yes, why did King Jin want to save him?
"Xue Rengui, send the Japanese envoy out!"
Li Xuan turned his head and said to Xue Rengui beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui responded and prepared to take the dog down to Santian.
Seeing this, Inugami Mita's expression changed slightly. After Xue Rengui had walked in front of him, he gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground with a plop!
"Please also ask His Highness the King of Jin to save the envoy. Whatever His Highness the King of Jin has ordered, the envoy will definitely do it!"
"What are you for?"
Li Xuan sneered and looked blankly at Inugami Mita, "Or, what can you do for me?"
"To the King of Jin, the fields and islands you purchased in Japan have not yet been collected. My envoy is still alive and can take you to collect them one by one!"
Inugami Mitaru said quickly.
"Tsk!"
Li Xuan sneered again, "I have the credentials of the Japanese monarch, and I went to the Japanese monarch directly. Is it possible that the Japanese monarch still dares to be careful?"
A look of despair flashed in Inugami Mita's eyes.
Soon, I thought of Li Shimin on the side.
Inugami Santian's eyes lit up and he quickly knelt down towards Li Shimin.
"I also ask the emperor to save my life. When my envoy returns this time, he will definitely be intercepted and killed by the Baekje thief. My envoy is an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. If he is intercepted and killed on the way back, it will be a sign of contempt for the Tang Dynasty. Your honorable
Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this matter is also related to the dignity of you and our country!"
"You mean the small country of Baekje wants to intercept and kill you?"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Why did Baekje intercept and kill you?"
"Reporting to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the last time an envoy was sent back, he was intercepted and killed by Baekje. The envoy had a chance to escape. Such a great humiliation made the leader of the Japanese Kingdom angry. He not only killed the prince Fengjang sent by Baekje to the Japanese Kingdom, but also
We sent troops to capture several cities in Baekje!"
Inugami Mitsuda hurriedly explained.
Hearing this, Li Shimin and Li Xuan had a look of surprise on their faces.
They never expected that there would be such hatred between Japan and Baekje.
"So, when you go back this time, Baekje must have already deployed heavy troops and are waiting for you on the sea!" Li Xuan said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is wise!"
Inugami Mitaru hurriedly patted the horses.
"Xuanba, what can you do to save the Japanese envoy?"
On the side, Li Shimin also suddenly spoke up to help.
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Inugami Mita's eyes.
"Your Majesty, there is such animosity between Baekje and Japan, and there seems to be a lot of enmity between Silla and Japan. Unless Your Majesty sends troops to escort this Japanese delegation all the way back to Japan, there is no other way!"
Li Xuan said helplessly, "It's just that sending troops from the Tang Dynasty is extremely expensive, and the Japanese country has no money to hire our Tang army. I really can't think of a better way!"
Li Shimin sighed in cooperation and said softly: "Didn't you buy some territory in Japan? How about you bring your personal guards to escort the Japanese envoys and take a look at your islands and land?"
"Should I go to Japan?"
Li Xuan was startled and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, Inugami Mita Shu on the side was ecstatic and quickly saluted Li Xuan.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, I can pay for it!"
"You pay for it?"
Hearing this, Li Xuan suddenly became interested.
Seeing this, Inugami Santian was also very happy.
"Exactly, as long as His Highness the King of Jin can escort the envoy back to Japan, the envoy can give His Highness the King of Jin money."
"My king's trip is not as expensive as the Tang army, but it is not cheap either!"
Li Xuan said directly.
"My envoy can give the king twenty thousand guan!"
Inugami Mitaru said hurriedly.
"Twenty thousand guan?"
Li Xuan didn't even blink, and said with disdain: "Twenty thousand guan, you can't even invite a general from the Tang Dynasty!"
Although Li Xuan refused, Inugami Mita Shu was not afraid at all, as long as His Highness the King of Jin could still negotiate.
"Please show mercy to His Highness the King of Jin. Your Majesty may make the decision and sell some territory to His Highness the King of Jin again!"
"oh?"
The expression on Li Xuan's face finally changed, and he stared closely at Inugami Mita Hao beside him.
"Tell me, how much territory can you give me?"
"Reporting to His Highness the King of Jin, my envoy has limited authority and can only sell you 500,000 acres of land!"
Inugami Mita Shu reported softly.
"Fifty thousand acres?"
Li Xuan murmured softly, "This 500,000 acres of land must also be connected with the territory I purchased last time!"
"Yes, His Highness King Jin!"
Inugami Mitaru said quickly.
"In this case, plus the 20,000 qian of money you have deposited in my village, I can barely escort you back to Japan!"
Li Xuan nodded directly.
"Your Majesty, thank you so much, His Highness King Jin!"
Quan Shang Santian was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Li Xuan looked at Inugami Mita Shu again, and said with a solemn expression: "Inugami, please think carefully, you really have the authority to sell the 500,000 acres of Japanese territory to me.
If I escort you back, but you, the Japanese monarch, refuse to recognize me, I will definitely not give up!"
"Please put it down, His Majesty the King of Jin. When your envoy was on a mission to the Tang Dynasty, our Majesty had already given him such authority!"
Inugami Mitaru said hurriedly.
"So good!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly, "In a few days, when I set out, I will send someone to call you!"
"I will obey the instructions of King Jin!"
Inugami Mitaru showed a relieved smile on his face.
Li Xuan nodded and looked down.
This time, the liquor auction has come to an end.
The expressions of the dignitaries below became even more excited.
After a whole year, the King of Jin finally started an auction of liquor.
No one from these noble families was spared.
The five best bottles of liquor were directly auctioned for 1,500 shi of grain!
"Your Majesty, one hundred bottles of liquor and a total of 23,600 shi of grain will be auctioned!"
Butler Li Chang reported to Li Xuan with a happy face.
Hearing this, Li Xuan smiled and said: "Xue Rengui, go with the housekeeper to receive the food!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui bowed respectfully and followed the housekeeper down.
Inugami Mita Shu also said goodbye to Li Xuan.
On the third floor, only Li Xuan, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were left.
Li Shimin thought for a while, then spoke to Li Xuan again and said: "Xuanba, this time the Japanese envoys have brought me many tributes, and I am also planning to send an envoy to the Japanese country to comfort them and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty!"
