Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

Although Gangzi was a good retainer of His Majesty the King of Chu, his starting point in this matter was good.

But since there was a better retainer, Wang Xuance, these "details" were still not added to the letter from the Queen of Silla.

“Master Yuan, please don’t make things more complicated…” After the army set out, Wang Xuance, who had previously told the Queen of Silla not to “add fuel to the fire”, turned around and called Yuan Tiangang to his side and began to persuade him earnestly: “Right now, the most important thing for us is to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to do what he likes to do. As for other matters, let’s wait until His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has made up his mind…”

"Alas... you counselors all have dirty hearts..." After Wang Xuance finished his meaningful words, Yuan Tiangang shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, everything will be done as you say."

Anyway, there are some things that everyone knows.

-------------------------------------

Two days later, the army led by His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally arrived at the Jin Sea, where Japanese pirate activities were most rampant.

"Your Highness the King of Chu, why do you want to station the army in the city? This is unreasonable..." - In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion in Jinhaegyeong, the Silla general Jin Gengxin, who was responsible for assisting the King of Chu in dispatching the 20,000 Silla soldiers, could not help but question the order just issued by His Highness the King of Chu.

As soon as he said this, the Dou family retainers and members of the Chang'an Bandits present immediately turned their eyes to him, making him feel the pressure doubled.

Even though Jin Gengxin was the first Silla general who dared to take the initiative to attack Goguryeo (in the third year of Zhenguan) in the history of Silla, and he was also one of the most trusted ministers of the Silla queen, facing this group of people who were destined to catch up with the Tiance Mansion in the future, Jin Gengxin still lost the courage to continue speaking.

"What else? I am leading these 20,000 troops to patrol along the coastline, right?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the other party: "Am I that stupid?"

"..." Jin Gengxin lowered his head quickly after hearing this: "Your Highness, it is the outsiders who are confused."

"You are not confused, you are worried that I am an amateur." His Royal Highness the King of Chu could understand Jin Gengxin's concerns, but he was too lazy to explain too much: "There are many people in this world who think that I am an amateur in marching and fighting, but no one is not afraid of this 'amateur' of mine. If you don't believe it, go to Chang'an and ask Jie Li and Mo Heduo and you will know."

"Ahem..." As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, the hall was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

As we all know, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was the god of "bandits" during the Zhenguan period.

So when it comes to being a bandit, no one can be as professional as he is.

By the way, the so-called pirates are nothing more than bandits on the sea.

From the above we can conclude that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a firm grip on the bandits who are committing all kinds of evil along the coast of Silla, and it only takes a few moves.

"I will not hide it from you," said His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was sitting in front of the audience, while putting his feet on the table in front of him: "I came to Silla this time to do only one thing, and that is to kill the Japanese.

So Jin Gengxin, next time you dare to act like you did today, I will kill you first, and then wait for Queen Seondeok to come to Jinhaijing with the imperial decree to punish your entire family and ask me to apologize in person. By then, I'm afraid you will regret it."

"Your Highness, I was reckless." Jin Gengxin bowed to apologize to His Highness the King of Chu while carefully wiping the sweat from his forehead. He looked extremely embarrassed.

But His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu obviously did not intend to let him off so easily. If he was going to punish him, he would have to punish him severely. So the Prince of Chu said again: "This is not a question of whether you are reckless or not, but a question of whether you are honest or not.

Don't understand? It seems that you need me to make my words more harsh, so I will do as you wish: Jin Gengxin, you should know that if I hadn't come here on a whim, you would never have the chance to see me in your life, so put away your little thoughts. If I really have any bad intentions, you can't do anything about it. Jin Gengxin, after listening to what I said, do you understand now? "

"..." Hearing this, Jin Gengxin said respectfully again: "I understand..."

"You really understand?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu took his feet off the desk and leaned forward: "Then do you eat beef?"

"..."Faced with such an abstract His Majesty the King of Chu, Jin Gengxin was obviously not able to adapt.

"Your Highness, let's get back to the point..." Seeing Jin Gengxin sweating profusely and fainting, Lu Yingke beside him suddenly said, "I have already gone out to inquire. Every time the Japanese pirates plunder coastal villages, they are like locusts passing through, and their speed is extremely fast. So if we can't get effective intelligence, wait in advance and eliminate their main force, then with only the few troops we have, it will be a bit difficult to defend the Silla villages along the coast."

"This is not something I should consider. They are not citizens of the Tang Dynasty." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he stood up. "But Yingke, I will intervene in your affairs this time out of kindness. Jin Gengxin!"

"Your humble servant is here." Realizing that he had misunderstood His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Jin Gengxin quickly responded.

"Send someone to call the mayor of Jinhaijing."

Soon, the mayor of Jinhaijing, who was summoned, came to His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a happy face and said, "I, your humble servant, Park Daozhi, greet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

"Hey, the people under your rule are suffering from the bullying of Japanese pirates, why are you so happy?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu frowned and looked at the chubby Park Daozhi: "Could it be... this is your business?"

"Ah...ah?" Pu Daozhi couldn't help but tremble when he heard this: "Your Highness...where did you get this from..."

"I will give you three breaths of time. Give me three names." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sat on the desk, looking at Pu Daozhi who was stunned below: "You know what I mean, just three breaths. I will not kill you after you give me the names. If you don't, you will die."

Seeing that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was so domineering, Jin Gengxin was about to speak, but he found that an arm had been placed on his shoulder.

"Don't mess things up." At this moment, although Yuan Tiangang had a smile on his face, the murderous intent in his eyes still made Jin Gengxin regain his consciousness instantly.

……

These bandits... came from the Tang Dynasty in the East... We can't afford to offend them... We can't afford to offend them...

On the other hand, after receiving the threat from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Park Daozhi immediately began to plead for himself: "Your Highness... Your Highness... I am innocent! Since I took office as the Lord of Jinhaijing..."

"One breath." His Royal Highness the King of Chu has learned a truth from the vast amount of classics, history and literature, which he has not read many of personally: that is, all seemingly uncontrollable chaos is inseparable from the betrayal of one's own people.

"I am a minister of Silla, and this is Silla's territory..." Park Do-ji was already desperate.

"Two breaths." His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised two fingers.

"Your Majesty..." Pu Daozhi found that it was too late to crawl through the dog hole.

"Yuwen Qing, draw your sword!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu has always been very good at using his Tiger Sword.

“I will confess! I will confess everything!” When the sharp knife was placed on Pu Daozhi’s neck, the cunning fat man finally gave in: “Xi family…Xi family…only them…only them…”
