Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 598
Everyone saluted the King of Silla one after another.

The King of Silla waved his hands to the officials, and then sat on the throne.

"Today, the king is holding a banquet here, mainly to welcome the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and to thank the generals for their kindness to the people of Jincheng." The king of Silla cleared his throat, stood up, and walked to Li Canghai , solemnly said: "The ministers of Silla obey the order, and thank the Great Tang General for his rescue!"

All the ministers stood up one after another, bowed to all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and said in unison: "Thank you, General Tang, for your rescue!"

Gao Xianzhi and the others hurriedly got up to return the salute, they were at a loss as to when they had received such a courtesy.

In comparison, Li Canghai seemed much calmer.

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. Silla belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the people of Silla are the people of our Tang Dynasty. If Dongying dares to slaughter the people of Silla, it is an enemy of our Datang. Our Tang Dynasty has always been unwilling to start a war, but Don't be afraid of war. This Eastern Expedition is to teach Dongying a truth: Anyone who offends our Great Tang Heavenly Power will be punished no matter how far away!" Li Canghai said seriously.

Li Canghai's words made everyone's blood boil.

Feng Changqing punched his fist hard, and shouted: "That's right, if you offend Tang Tianwei, you will be punished even if you are far away!"

Infected by Feng Changqing's emotions, everyone including the officials of Xinluo shouted loudly.

"If you violate the Tang Dynasty, you will be punished even if you are far away!"

"If you violate the Tang Dynasty, you will be punished even if you are far away!"

……

After a long while, Li Canghai waved his hand to calm everyone down.

Li Canghai picked up his wine glass and said deeply: "Li has never thought that he will lead the army to fight one day. I am just a civil servant and have no experience in fighting on the battlefield. I am not the only one who won this tough battle. It is the result of the bloodshed of all the soldiers. This moment of peace was bought by the blood of thousands of soldiers from Datang and Silla! They are the benefactors of Jincheng! This first glass of wine, to them!"

All the people looked dignified.

They picked up their wine glasses one after another, and followed Li Canghai to solemnly spill the wine in the glass on the ground.

The King of Silla held the jug, poured a glass of wine for Li Canghai himself, and said, "This second glass of wine should be respected to the marshal. If there is no marshal, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. The marshal deserves this glass of wine. Please don't give up."

Li Canghai thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Since the king has said so, then I'd rather be respectful than follow orders."

"To the Marshal!" Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison.

After Li Canghai finished drinking, the King of Silla cleared his throat and said loudly: "Marshal Li led 3 horses, but he repeatedly defeated the Japanese army. He is also my benefactor of Silla. Today, this king has decided to make an alliance with Marshal Li. brother!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Canghai couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. How can Li be able to win the favor of the King? Li is just a civil servant, and he is entrusted with the important task of the Eastern Expedition because of the importance of my emperor. When the teacher returns to the court, Li will be relieved." This is the position of Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition and the restoration of the status of civil servant. I also hope that the king will take it back." Li Canghai said with his hands clasped.

The King of Silla took Li Canghai's hand and said seriously: "Marshal Li, don't you think that this king wants to hold you as a life-saving straw because he sees you can save Silla? If Marshal Li really thinks so, Then you are wrong. I, Xinluo, have been deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, and I know what it means to repay kindness. The reason why this king did this is to repay Marshal Li’s kindness, and the second is to repay Marshal Li. He is extremely respectful, and because of this, the meaning of making friends was born."

Li Canghai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand me. Li didn't mean that. It's just that Li himself doesn't know how long his official career can last, and he might be reduced to a commoner at some point. , wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Hearing this, the King of Silla became anxious immediately. He said seriously, "Marshal Li, do you think this king is that kind of ungrateful person? You are my benefactor of Silla, and I will never dare to forget you for generations. If you do something that despises your benefactor, this king will die without a place to bury you!"

The ministers were startled when they heard the words, they didn't expect the king of Silla to even swear a poisonous oath.

Even Li Canghai was a little surprised, he touched the bridge of his nose, and fell into a dilemma for a while.

"Couldn't Marshal Li look down on me, a down-and-out king?" King Silla's face suddenly became sad.

"The king's words are serious, Li didn't mean that..."

"So you agreed?" King Silla's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Canghai expectantly.

"Cang Hai, since His Majesty is sincere, you should agree! Otherwise, if you fail His Majesty's sincerity, it may affect morale." Di Qing blinked her eyes and said.

The King of Silla nodded vigorously, and said: "The princess said it is very true. As the king of Silla, if this king is despised by others, it will definitely have a great impact on morale!"

Li Canghai sighed, and said: "Forget it, since the king has said so, if I refuse again, it will appear to be impolite."

King Silla immediately became excited. He hurriedly ordered someone to bring up the dagger and jade bowl he had prepared in advance, and said loudly: "Today, this king and Li Canghai made a blood alliance and became brothers with different surnames. Blessed be the future." We share the same joys and hardships! All my subjects in Silla, who see Li Canghai as if they were seeing this king, must treat him like a king!"

Saying so, King Silla picked up the dagger, drew a bloody mouth on his hand, and dripped some blood into the jade bowl.

Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose, picked up the dagger helplessly, and drew a bloody gash on the palm of his hand, and then some blood dripped from the jade bowl as well.

After that, the King of Silla poured the wine mixed with the blood of the two people in the jade bowl into two wine glasses.

The King of Silla held up a wine glass and said: "Originally, such a big event should be presided over by the chief priest of the Ministry of Rites, but the current battle situation is so tight that there is no time to take care of it, so we have to keep things simple. I hope you will forgive me!"

Li Canghai took the wine glass and said: "Your Majesty is serious. It is Li Canghai's luck for three lives to be able to become brothers with His Majesty. How dare you ask for anything else?"

The King of Silla chuckled and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, you and I are brothers. I am older than you, and you don't want to call me Dawang Dawang. It seems to be born, why don't you call me Brother Wang?" !"

"Since this is the case, I would rather be respectful than obedient. Brother Wang, please accept my respect!" Li Canghai saluted Li Canghai deeply after drinking the blood wine.

"Brother, please forgive me!" King Silla smiled happily, and helped Li Canghai up.

"Greetings, Uncle!" Li Canghai just straightened up when several teenagers came over and knelt on the ground to salute Li Canghai.
