Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 162: King Lu welcomes

No matter what the voice said, Wu Mian never appeared. However, the voice of speaking soon disappeared, and in the night, the courtyard of the inn was deadly silent.

In the wing at the end, in addition to Guangxiao, Guan Wuming, and Kongkai monks, there were only a few envoys to the Tang Dynasty and two Japanese monks who followed Kukai. Except for Guangxiao and the others, the rest of the Japanese were hiding on the bodies of the three monks, trembling uncontrollably.

But after waiting for a while, nothing unusual happened. These people stayed up until the rooster crowed, just as it was getting dark. The young man got up and came to clean up the yard, only to find the corpse lying on the ground and cut into pieces. The young man was so frightened that he urinated on the spot, and shouted so loudly that he called the inn's accountant, and then arranged for the county government to report to the accountant.

The county magistrate here was also frightened by such a big case. After a while, the magistrate brought his three classes of yamen to the inn where the crime happened. At this time, the sky was already bright, and a few people in the guest room dared to walk out of the wing under the guard of the two monks Guangxiao and Guan Wuming.

After confirming that the county magistrate and the yamen in front of him are all living people, Monk Kukai explained the identity of himself and others to the magistrate. Afraid that the officials would not believe it, he also took out the tribute documents from the Japanese state and handed it to the county magistrate in front of him. After briefly talking about what happened last night until now, he pointed to the corpse of the Minister of Rites that had been sliced, and said, "That is the corpse of the Lord of Your Country. If you don't believe me, you can check the credentials on him."

After seeing the tribute documents from the Japanese state, the magistrate believed 80% of it. Yesterday, the strange story of the neighboring county had reached his ears. The county town with a population of thousands suddenly turned into an empty city overnight. In the morning, after the people who were doing business and visiting relatives entered the city, they found that the city gate was wide open without soldiers to handle it, and the people in the entire county had disappeared without a trace. This matter has been reported to the Fuzhou provincial governor. It is said that among the missing people are the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty who came to pay tribute and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who went to greet them. It is unexpected that these people will appear in their own jurisdiction.

Though the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty looked fierce, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale at this time, and they exuded an aura of feces and urine. Thinking about this big case, they would not have done it. At the moment, the county magistrate ordered the yamen to seal the inn. These envoys and monks sent to the Tang Dynasty were brought to the county government by him. Report this matter to the governor quickly, and wait for the reply from the governor of Fuzhou how to deal with these Japanese envoys sent to Tang.

Even if they moved to the county office, these people didn't dare to take it lightly. Originally, the county magistrate wanted several envoys to the Tang Dynasty to rest one by one, and all the affairs of eating, drinking and Lazarus were arranged by special personnel. However, after two consecutive nights of fright, the envoys to the Tang Dynasty could not believe them. At their firm request, the county magistrate found a bigger room and let them rest here together. All the food was sent to the door by a special person, followed by the two little monks from Kong Hai and then brought these things into the house, and everyone ate and drank together.

Comparing with the attack on the convoy of the Tang envoys, and the death of the Minister of Rites, the missing officials and people in that county are nothing. After receiving the news, the Fuzhou Prefect did not dare to be careless, and ordered three thousand soldiers and horses in person. Then he led his troops to the county seat in person, and took several envoys to the Tang Dynasty to the army, after comforting them for a long time. The Chief Inspector personally led a team to **** the Tang envoy to the capital Chang'an.

It's strange to say, I don't know if those monsters are afraid of this well-trained 3,000 people. After leaving the county seat, it was safe and sound for several days, and nothing unusual happened again. If it wasn't for the deep memories of those two nights, the envoys to the Tang Dynasty thought it was a nightmare.

Before his departure, the Fuzhou governor had already reported the matter to the imperial court. After they walked for half a month, Li Yuan's decree had come down. After sending the Tang envoys to Hongzhou, they stayed for a few days. The emperor personally sent officials to Hongzhou to meet them, and by the way, they investigated the death of the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the mysterious disappearance of the officials and people in that county.

When the imperial decree was delivered to the governor of Fuzhou, the envoy to the Tang Dynasty had just been escorted to Hongzhou. At the moment, the prefect left them in Hongzhou, and after asking local officials to take care of them, they also returned to the place under their jurisdiction. Another half a month later, the officials sent by the imperial court to greet the envoy to the Tang Dynasty had arrived. No one would have thought that for a small Japanese mission, they would actually work for the founding of the Tang Dynasty, King Lu Wang Cheng Yaojin...

On this day, the envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty and several monks were accompanied by the governor of Hongzhou, when they were having lunch in the government office. A Pioneer school came to visit Lord Inspector with an urgent official document in hand, saying that it was an urgent official business that he did not dare to delay for a moment. In front of the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, the governor of the same name Guoyuan opened the official document. After reading only two lines, he spit out the wine and vegetables that he had not had time to swallow, and opened his mouth to say to Xiao Xiao, "Why is even my fourth brother disturbed? Hurry up...the city gate is wide open. , drag the established opera troupe to the gate of the city, and I will beat the fourth brother after seeing the fourth brother. My fourth brother likes to listen to the little widow going to the grave, so I came here..."

After seeing the official document, Inspector Qi became busy with some gaffe. Among the Japanese envoys, only Hirotaka was in contact with this former demon king. He didn't expect that such a trivial matter would alarm this big man, but now his identity has not been revealed to outsiders, and it is inconvenient to ask Qi Qi Shishi.

After a long while, Inspector Qi changed into a new official uniform and was about to go to the city gate to greet King Lu Cheng Yaojin. Suddenly thought of something. Turning back to the Tang envoys who were still in a daze, he said: "Monk Kong Hai, please tell some of the Tang envoys, my Highness Cheng Yaojin, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, came to Hongzhou to meet them in person. Now this official is going to greet them outside the city. Your Highness King Lu, do you want to pick them up together?"

Several envoys to the Tang Dynasty all knew the story of the rise of Li Tang, and had long heard of the famous demon king who made the world famous. Without any hesitation, he changed into the auspicious clothes of the Japanese country and rushed to the gate of the city with Qi Shishi to greet His Royal Highness King Lu.

Everyone waited for two or three hours, until it was getting dark when they saw a team approaching in the distance. The king flag at the front of the team was carrying two large lanterns, and a large character Lu could be seen on it from a distance.

After seeing the team, Inspector Qi greeted him with his guard of honor and team. I saw a jujube red horse surrounded by a thousand people in this team, and immediately sat a big man with white hair, white beard and blue face. After seeing Governor Qi, the big blue-faced man laughed, jumped off his horse, and said to Governor Qi, who had already arrived in front of him, "Brother, I haven't seen you for so many years. When you come to this place to be a native emperor, you really miss my fourth brother. ..."

While speaking, Inspector Qi was already at King Lu's side. After turning over and dismounting, he hugged Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile, "It's been five or six years, what kind of elixir did you eat, fourth brother, it still looks like it was when you were in Wagang Mountain, it doesn't show anything at all. old."

"You forgot, brother, how did my hair and beard turn white?" Cheng Yaojin laughed and continued, "It was said back then that I got the benefits of an immortal, or your brother-in-law would be able to get the benefits of an immortal. Will Wagang Mountain be handed over to your fourth brother and me? Everyone believed it at first, but Qi Guoyuan, your brother-in-law, didn't believe it."

While speaking, Cheng Yaojin glanced at the guard of honor and the envoy from Japan who came from behind. Looking at the strange clothes on them, His Royal Highness King Lu guessed who they were. Immediately, he laughed again, bypassed the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, and said to the monk Kukai who came to translate: "Monk, are you Kukai?"

Kong Hai did not expect that His Royal Highness King Lu would speak of himself, and immediately hurriedly offered Buddha salutes, saying, "The monk is the Japanese monk Ku Hai, and these are the envoys from the Japanese country to the Tang Dynasty. This is the official history pharmacist..."

"Needless to say, I'm not interested in Old Cheng..." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, interrupted the monk's words, then stared into Kong Hai's eyes and said, "This time this king is here for you... "
