This little emperor of Japan seems to have a childish temperament.
However, even though he is a puppet king, he is still a king!
He didn't bother to say it either.
Anyway, there is no good banquet and no good guest!
Just watch the excitement and take part in the excitement!
Of course, Soga Ezo and all the Japanese ministers did not care at all about Li Xuan's attitude, and they still looked humble.
Just coax Li Xuan well and allow them to participate in the banquet.
As long as they finish the specially prepared meals, how dare these envoys and nobles of the Tang Dynasty still dare to be so arrogant?
Hum hum!
Soon, a long line of well-dressed Japanese maids walked up on their wooden shoes, carrying plates of steaming meals.
Roast fish, grilled fish, fish soup, stir-fry...
Anyway, judging from the style, they are all food from the Tang Dynasty.
However, as for the taste, Li Xuan just took a look and was too lazy to comment.
When the food was served, Soga Ezo stood up and bowed forty-five degrees respectfully to Li Xuan, Gao Biaoren and others, with apologetic expressions on his face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys, ministers and others, together with His Majesty the Emperor, came today and specially prepared Tang Dynasty meals to apologize to all the nobles of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded indifferently and quietly watched Soga Ezo's performance.
The main reason is that he doesn't know how to act with these Japanese people!
On the side, Gao Biaoren also looked calm.
Zi Gu held a bottle of white wine in his hand and took a sip.
The aroma of the wine spread directly throughout the entire banquet, making all the Japanese ministers look envious and salivate.
As for Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others, they had already been given instructions, and they all looked at Soga Ezo with curious faces!
Watch the excitement!
Faced with this kind of reaction from all the Tang people, Soga Ezo's face froze and he couldn't hold back his breath!
He was already so humble, but he didn't react at all. He even seemed to be watching a monkey trick?
He took a slow breath and smiled. These Tang people hadn't started eating the specially prepared food yet, so he had to hold back!
He bowed respectfully again and sat down.
He picked up the wine glass and gave a toast to Li Xuan and others.
"With this wine, I would like to apologize to His Highness the King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty and all the envoys!"
Saying that, he raised his glass and took a sip.
Li Xuan and Gao Biaoren did not respond.
Soga Ezo's face was startled, and then his face hardened. He poured the wine again and took a sip.
Then, the third cup was consumed.
Li Xuan, Gao Pyohito and others finally reacted, slowly raising the glass cups in their hands and giving a slight gesture to Soga Ezo.
Then, do it!
However, Soga Ezo and all the Japanese ministers all looked at each other in confusion.
They all recognized that wine glass. It was a wine glass unique to the Tang Dynasty, but it was definitely not the one they had prepared for this banquet.
And wine...
Smelling it, everyone couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously. This was Tang Dynasty's peerless fairy wine. There were only ten bottles in the entire Japanese country, and they were all in the hands of Minister Su Ga. They were just lucky enough to have a drink at the palace banquet last year.
Although it was a pity that these people from the Tang Dynasty did not drink the wine they brought, thinking that the Prince of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to respond, another motivation arose in Soga Ezo's heart.
"Dear nobles of the Tang Dynasty, please enjoy your meal! If there is anything wrong with the taste, please give me some advice!"
Saying that, Soga Ezo and a group of Japanese ministers began to eat quickly.
Li Xuan, Gao Biaoren and others also slowly picked up the kuaizi and concentrated on picking at the dishes in front of them, picking up a piece here and putting a piece there, tossing it over and over without putting it in their mouths.
Some people may even smell it out of curiosity.
However, no one went to eat.
Seeing this, Soga Ezo and others, who had been paying attention here, couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.
"I don't know, His Highness the King of Jin and all the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, but the food prepared by my Japanese chef is not to your liking?"
At this moment, they had not realized that Li Xuan, Gao Biaoren and others had already seen through their conspiracy!
"I don't dare to eat this meal!"
Li Xuan said calmly.
"Um?"
Hearing this, Soga Ezo couldn't help but be startled.
Xue Rengui and Li Gaoping, on the other hand, looked tense.
"I wonder what concerns His Highness King Jin has?"
Soga Ezo asked hurriedly.
"snort!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly and picked up a piece of fish with his kuai, "There is actually a layer of gray powder on this piece of fish. If I read it correctly, it should be the sweat medicine!"
"Also, here is a layer of black medicinal residue, which I have never seen before... This place looks like the soul-breaking intestine of my Tang Dynasty..."
Li Xuan pointed to the plates in front of him and said.
"With so much medicine, I am afraid that if I take it, my orifices will bleed!"
Whenever Li Xuan ordered a dish, the corners of Soga Ezo's mouth twitched slightly.
Immediately, with a face filled with fear, he said, "This...His Royal Highness King Jin is wrong. These meals are all prepared by his servants under the orders of his servants. How could anyone put medicine in them?"
Finally, he stood up with a panic expression on his face.
"I have to ask you about this!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "At these banquets, only you, the organizer, can poison the dishes of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and us on such a large scale!"
Hearing this, Soga Ezo's body tensed up slightly.
Below, all the Japanese ministers who knew about it had cold eyes.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin has misunderstood. Those powders should not be medicinal stains, but some seasonings!"
Soga Ezo quickly defended.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's a seasoning, let's invite Minister Su to taste it himself!" Li Xuan sneered.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the entire banquet calmed down.
"Haha, His Highness Prince Jin is really good at joking. I have my own food, how dare I eat His Highness Prince Jin's food!" Soga Ezo said quickly.
Li Xuan's face darkened and he said coldly: "What if I let you eat it?"
Soga Ezo was startled, looked around, then turned to Li Xuan and slightly cupped his hands.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, your ministers..."
Before he finished speaking, all the Japanese ministers around him stood up.
At the same time, he took out a long knife from his body.
Seeing this, Li Xuan was startled, his eyes full of doubts. He did not see how these Japanese people hid these long knives on their bodies.
But at this moment, Soga Ezo's face was filled with pride.
"I didn't expect His Highness King Jin to have such good eyesight. However, our Japanese army has surrounded the embassy. With just one order, our Japanese warriors can rush in and kill all the guards and followers of His Highness King Jin.
!”
"oh?"
Li Xuan sneered.
Unexpectedly, these Japanese hozens are actually so courageous and dare to take action directly when they are discovered.
Immediately, before Soga Ezo and others could react, they grabbed Kuaizi, stood up, and thrust it into the neck of the Japanese maid beside him.
At the same time, Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi, as well as a group of personal guards behind them, also quickly eliminated the Japanese maids and servants beside them.
"Wait..."
Seeing this, Soga Ezo's face changed slightly.
"It's just a simple trick. You, the Japanese hozens, don't have to use it in front of my king!"
Li Xuan still looked blank.
He didn't even look at the twitching Japanese maids at his feet.
"It seems that His Highness the King of Jin and the Prince of the Tang Dynasty are not planning to capture them without mercy?"
