Li Xuan nodded and asked Xue Rengui to explain the officers and crew on the ship.
Immediately, two hundred personal guards were left behind to guard the ship.
Then he took a group of people and three hundred personal guards and headed directly to Feiniao City.
Along the way, Li Xuan always felt that there was something strange about the Japanese country.
It wasn't until he entered Feiniao City that Li Xuan finally understood.
There were far fewer Japanese people on both sides of the road from Nanbojin to Asuka Castle.
There are even fewer houses on both sides of the road.
"It seems that Your Majesty really chose the right person when he asked Duke Cao Guo to come to Japan to collect taxes!"
Seeing the cowardly but respectful Japanese people on the streets of Asuka City, Li Xuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
To deal with the Japanese country, we need people like this who are full of bad ideas and are so immoral that they smoke!
On both sides of Li Xuan, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others obviously saw something.
Looking at the cowardly Japanese people on both sides of the road, they looked with contempt on their faces.
"What a bunch of cheap bones!"
"Why, are you satisfied that they have to fight to the death with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi who was complaining.
This kind of good Japanese people are what he likes to see the most!
Cheng Chusi frowned, with a sneer on his face, and did not dare to say anything more.
At this time, Li Ji had already led a group of lieutenants to greet him in a hurry.
King Jin led his fleet to Japan?
Li Ji was full of doubts.
Sure enough, Li Ji saw Li Xuan from a long distance away.
At the same time, there were those figures behind Li Xuan, and Li Ji couldn't help but change his face slightly.
After seeing clearly that it was Li Chengqian, he quickly quickened his pace.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Jin!"
"Gong Cao Guo is exempt from the courtesy!"
After greeting each other, Li Ji couldn't help but frown, and asked hurriedly: "May I ask His Royal Highness, why did His Highness suddenly come to Japan? What happened?"
"Don't think too much, Mr. Cao Guo. Uncle Wang and others are just passing through the country of Japan and came ashore to rest for a while!"
Li Chengqian quickly explained.
Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but think of something and quickly shut up.
Immediately, he hurriedly welcomed Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others and walked inside.
The place where Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin and others were stationed was the most grand mansion in Asuka City, occupying one-fifth of the area of Asuka City and only slightly smaller than the Imperial Palace of Japan.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Jin, this place turned out to be the residence of Soga Ezo, the Prime Minister of the Japanese Kingdom. The general saw that this courtyard is spacious and can station our army of soldiers, so he took this place as the location of my main camp!"
After sitting down, Li Ji saw something strange in Li Chengqian's expression, so he quickly explained.
"Mr. Cao Guo is too worried. I have only been to this mansion once and I was deeply impressed by it!"
Li Chengqian chuckled lightly and stopped talking.
However, Li Ji, Zhang Liang and others couldn't help but start to think about it.
On the side, Li Xuan turned around and looked around, and asked thoughtfully: "The Su Wo family is the largest family in the Japanese country. Last time I waited in this house, I found ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry.
, twice as many as the Imperial Palace of Japan.
I wonder if you found any gold this time?"
Hearing this, Li Ji, Zhang Liang and others were startled again, and then their eyes widened with anger on their faces.
"Come here, bring the Soga Ezo Hozen!"
"yes!"
The two soldiers at the door responded and quickly ran out of the courtyard.
But at this moment, Soga Ezo didn't know that the evil stars of the Tang Dynasty that he was most afraid of were here again, and they were still sitting in the most luxurious front hall of his house.
At this moment, he was holding his concubine, releasing the longing accumulated after such a long separation.
During the truce, the concubine looked at Soga Ezo with expectation.
"My lord, since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has been so kind to you, why don't you also intercede with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and take me with you when you return to the Tang Dynasty this time!
Otherwise, after you leave, those young men will target the slave family again..."
A flash of emotion flashed in Soga Ezo's eyes.
But then, I remembered something and couldn't help but sigh.
"If you want to go to the Tang Dynasty, you can only rely on Li Jida, the general manager of the Tang Dynasty who came to the Japanese country this time. However, this person is sinister and sinister. He has never had a good look at us Japanese people. I want him to agree to take you with me. Going back to the Tang Dynasty will be extremely difficult!"
As he said that, Soga Ezo's face turned stern and he said: "But don't worry, before I go back to the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely kill all those thieves who covet you!"
Immediately, I felt my energy returning, and I stood up, ready to fight again.
"Where is Soga Ezo?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the house, startling Soga Ezo.
"My lord?"
The Japanese woman below could not help but change her face slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm still useful to the Tang Dynasty. They won't kill us now!"
Soga Ezo comforted his concubine, stood up quickly, put on his clothes in a hurry, and ran out.
"Two warriors of the Tang Dynasty, I am here!"
The two soldiers glared at the disheveled Soga Ezo and said angrily: "The chief manager is looking for you, go quickly!"
"Yes Yes!"
Soga Ezo quickly bowed and saluted, then hurriedly followed the two soldiers and ran to the front yard.
"I have met your superior of the Tang Dynasty!"
Before entering the front hall, Soga Ezo started shouting at the top of his voice.
"Su Wo Hozen, get me in quickly!"
Hearing Soga Ezo's flattering voice, Li Ji suddenly felt angry in his stomach.
Outside the door, Soga Ezo shuddered, lowered his head quickly, and walked in shakily.
Without even looking, he knelt down facing the throne.
"I wonder who made the chief manager so angry? I will lead some people to kill this traitor right now!"
"Hmph!"
Li Ji, who was sitting on one side, snorted coldly, "I collected two carts of gold and silver jewelry in the Japanese palace. Why did I only find a box of gold and silver jewelry in your house? How dare you, a monkey? If you deceive me, I will order the destruction of your Suwa family!
"Um?"
Hearing this, Soga Ezo was startled and felt something was wrong. He slowly raised his head and peeked to the left.
At the same time, he explained with a look of fear on his face: "I would like to ask the general manager to tell me how I dare to deceive the general manager. I am just a minister of the Japanese country, and the wealth in my house is naturally not comparable to..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that sinister old face actually appeared on the left side.
Above that?
Thinking about it, Soga Ezo subconsciously looked towards the main seat.
Suddenly, two familiar faces appeared in front of him.
Soga Ezo's eyes widened, his face full of horror.
"Jin...His Royal Highness King Jin?"
"Long time no see. Minister Suga, are you happy to see me?"
Li Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a half-smile.
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect to see His Highness Prince Jin again in this life. I'm really lucky!"
A smile appeared on Soga Ezo's stiff face.
He never expected that he would see the Demon King of the Tang Dynasty again after he helped him get on the horse.
Even those little devils were sitting on the left and right sides.
Soga Ezo's heart kept sinking, and he felt something was wrong.
"I heard that your family only paid one box of taxes?"
Li Xuan spoke again and asked slowly: "But why was the palace able to hand over two boxes of gold and silver jewelry? I remember that in the Japanese country, Soga Ezo's speed of making money should be much faster than that of the Japanese royal family.
