I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The king of Kamaluva is enjoying the extravagant life of being a king in his bedroom.

The guard came in and knelt down in front of him.

This made the king very uncomfortable. He didn't see that he was enjoying life, so why bother him?
"My lord, an envoy from the Tang Dynasty is here." The guard said respectfully.

King Kamaluva looked indifferent, and waved his hands: "Those monks again? Just send them away. We don't accept their talk about opening the altar here."

Xuanzang's journey to the west was actually very bumpy.

In most countries, he is not very popular.

After all, there are only a few countries that have the same beliefs as him, and most of them are similar to Kamarupa. They are not interested in what he said, but they are very interested in him.

King Kamalupa was very enthusiastic when he first met Master Xuanzang.

Xuanzang persuaded him to change his belief. He advised Xuanzang not to pursue anything, but to stay in Kamalubo as his own guard.

The two eventually broke up, and neither could convince the other.

The guard shook his head: "They all have hair, they have extraordinary bearing, and they don't look like ordinary people."

King Kamarupa paused for a moment while nibbling on his beauty's fingers, then turned his head away: "Have you got your hair?"

"Then come quickly and let me see you."

The guard looked hesitant, and his voice weakened a bit: "They have already come in."

King Kamalupa was stunned, his face became a little ugly: "Did you let him in?"

The guard nodded: "They... seem to not obey their orders, and they will force their way in. Although the leader is a young man, I can't muster any courage when I face him."

He recalled Xue Rengui's gaze.

It's not the look of his own king looking down on them.

But indifference.

He didn't look at the look he had when he was a human being, like an experienced butcher looking at the piglets waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board.

As long as he wanted, he could kill himself anytime and in any way.

King Kamalupa's face became even more difficult to look at - although he didn't expect his guards to be strong, at least he had to be willing to work for himself.

Now let in people who don't know whether they are enemies or friends, do you still have yourself as the king in your eyes and in your heart?

King Kamaluva took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Now is not the time to be angry. Compared with punishing these disobedient guards, dealing with the Tang people is more critical.

He knows a lot of information about Datang.

Although it is a small country, the rivers here are intricate and complex, and many merchants come here every year, although Kamaluva rarely does business with them.

King Kamalupo was very happy to invite these merchants to dinner, and by the way, he would listen to news about foreign countries.

Like something... Datang has mastered Tianlei.

The news that Ning Yuan Kingdom was captured by hundreds of people from Datang.

And that Duke Zhengyang from Datang...

He is all clear.

He doesn't know how powerful Datang is, but he knows that Datang must not be provoked.

It's just... why such a powerful country came to me?
He clapped his palms and told the beauties around him to back down.

After tidying up his clothes and putting on his trousers, he moved a desk and put a few pieces of parchment on which he didn't know what was written on it, and just pretended to handle official business.

Not too long.

Xue Rengui pushed the door open and walked in.

King Kamaluva raised his head, with a bright smile on his face: "How many guests are from Tang Dynasty?"

Xue Rengui saluted and said, "Are you the king of Kamalubo?"

"I am here this time on the orders of Duke Zhengyang of the Tang Dynasty, and I want to do business with you."

King Kamalupa was a little surprised: "I, Kamalubo, am just a small country. Although I heard that the Great Tang needs minerals, there are not many minerals in my small country..."

"What kind of business can we do with Datang?"

Xue Rengui shook his head, took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and threw it on King Kamalupo's desk: "It's not minerals, but other business."

"Look at this painting first."

King Kamalupa showed displeasure on his face, which was not very respectful to himself as a king.

but…

Can't be angry.

At first, he was a little worried about what he would do if he didn't know the characters written in Tang Dynasty.

You can wait until you pick up the drawing paper and unfold it to have a look.

There are no words in it, just a picture, which looks like a tree.

King Kamaluva was still a little puzzled.

Xue Rengui asked, "You should know this tree?"

"Somewhat familiar." King Kamalupo didn't dare to say that he knew him, but he really just felt a little familiar.

Xue Rengui frowned: "Don't say whether you look familiar or not, just say whether you really have this kind of tree."

King Kamalupa dared not speak, but called the guards to come over.

The guard held the drawing paper, glanced at it, and nodded: "Indeed, your majesty's palace is made of this kind of tree for the roof beams."

King Kamalupo heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Xue Rengui expectantly.

Xue Rengui nodded: "Since there is such a tree, it will be easy to handle. Dalang needs the sap of this tree, and hopes to reach a deal with you."

King Kamalupa laughed, his eyes sparkled.

Datang is a country of abundance and gold, and it is a good thing for me to be able to reach a deal with Datang, or even with Datang's Duke Zhengyang.

"Of course the small country is very willing. I wonder how much the honorable Lord Zhengyang needs?" King Kamalupo rubbed his hands, looking forward to how much money he could earn.

Xue Rengui shook his head: "It's not how much Da Lang needs, but how much you can provide."

King Kamarupa was taken aback for a moment.

Xue Rengui chuckled: "You may not understand what my Dalang means. He hopes that your entire country will use all the land and national power to plant this kind of tree."

"Then...provide as much as you can provide every year."

The land and power of the whole country are used to plant this kind of tree?
Then... what to eat?
King Kamarupa was just about to refuse.

Xue Rengui then said: "I know what you are worried about, whether it is food, or weapons and equipment, or even other things you want."

"Da Lang can provide you with everything."

"Even if you want the protection of Datang, or even my Dalang, as long as you do well, you can get it."

Duke Zhengyang's protection is still higher than that of Datang?

Such a thought came to King Kamaluva's mind immediately.

Second...he thought of something else.

No matter how small Kamaluva is, it is still a country and a complete individual. If it is changed in this way, the shape of the whole country will change.
