Chapter 183: Fall into the Kingdom of Rāpatī
In the Southeast Asian kingdom of Dharabhidharma (present-day Thailand), the entire nation was devoutly Buddhist. Trade routes crisscrossed between it and the Tang Dynasty, and there was considerable cultural exchange.
A team of 100 Jinyiwei soldiers, each of them dressed in clothes embroidered with exquisite flying fish patterns, and wore embroidered spring swords on their waists.
They followed Maza, who was familiar with the local conditions, and embarked on a long journey to Johor.
Because they did not choose to travel by water, they took a route that went straight through the country of Dharabha and reached Johor.
The tall horses in the team were agile and striding with their heads held high.
Naturally, this attracted the attention of the local Mon people. Seeing this group of stern-looking and well-equipped strangers, greed gradually appeared in their eyes.
They are all thinking about how to gain some benefits from them.
The Jinyiwei remained unmoved by the greedy eyes around them, and just placed their hands lightly on the embroidered spring swords at their waists in a very natural way.
As long as these Meng people dare to make any rash moves, they don't mind using the Embroidered Spring Swords on their waists to send them to reincarnation quickly.
The person leading this operation was a pacification envoy named Qi Yifei.
He was originally a soldier in Qianniu Guard. After the Qianniu Guard underwent reform, he was not transferred to the same level because of his outstanding qualities of decisiveness and capable style. Instead, he got a rare opportunity for promotion and was promoted to the rank of Zhenfu Envoy.
It was precisely because he was calm, reliable and trusted that Zhang Xianhuai resolutely appointed Qi Yifei to be fully responsible for this crucial mission.
Seeing the hostile gazes of the Meng people, Ma Zha quickly shouted in fluent Meng to the surrounding crowd, "We are a team from the Tang Dynasty. Don't harbor any ill intentions or attempt to cause trouble!"
When the Meng people heard this, they began to fear the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. The greed in their eyes subsided a little, and their fear grew stronger.
Seeing this, Ma Zha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The team had no intention of causing trouble while traveling in this foreign country. They only hoped to complete the task assigned by His Majesty as quickly and smoothly as possible.
……
There was a loud noise in the market, and the Meng people knelt on both sides of the road in a very respectful manner, leaving the wide avenue in the middle empty in an instant.
At this moment, there is still half a month's journey to the destination Johor, but Qi Yifei did not slack off at all. Instead, he became more alert.
Being in this foreign country, some distance away from the Tang Dynasty, anything could happen even if they were a Tang Dynasty team.
The Jinyiwei looked at each other, all confused and puzzled by the sudden situation before them.
At this time, Ma Zha hurriedly explained in a low voice: "The Qi envoy is the king of the kingdom of Dhulabuddha, Tohlubhuxieqi, who has come from afar. Therefore, the Mon people on both sides are kneeling in greeting."
When Qi Yifei heard this, he suddenly realized that this was the capital of the Dharani Kingdom.
But on this road, who should give way to whom is a very important issue.
Although he wanted to keep the peace and avoid unnecessary disputes, as a fourth-rank pacification envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of maintaining the great dignity of the Tang Dynasty in this foreign land.
Shouldn't the king of a mere small country take the initiative to make way for the Tang Dynasty's troops?
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and waved his hand to order the convoy to continue moving forward steadily.
Seeing that this group of Tang people did not give way at all and even had to compete with the king for the road, the surrounding Meng people all showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment on their faces.
This Touhe Luobu Xieqiyao is a notorious tyrant in the country of Dhulabudi. In this land, no one dares to disobey or resist him. In his eyes, all the Meng people are nothing more than ants, slaves that he can drive at will.
Today he went out of the palace for a tour, not to deal with any state affairs, but purely to have fun and have fun, and to see if there were any beautiful women he could choose to bring into the palace for his entertainment.
He was intoxicated with the pleasure of conquest as everyone bowed down to him and worshipped him. He always scoffed at the affairs of state governance and was too lazy to care about them. He only knew how to indulge in sensual pleasures, eating, drinking and having fun every day.
In his view, the ministers would take care of governing the country, and he only needed to firmly control the country's military power, so he could sit back and relax and enjoy wealth and glory.
After all, if being a king requires dealing with all those tedious matters, big and small, every day, then what fun is there in being a king?
Four huge and majestic elephants were seen slowly clearing the way ahead, while Tou and Luo Buxie Qiyao were sitting in the magnificent carriage, looking relaxed and at ease.
While he was enjoying the fresh bananas, he casually threw the banana peels on the heads of the kneeling Meng people below. Looking at the embarrassed looks of those Meng people who dared not speak out, he felt very amused and never tired of it.
Of course, if he was in a bad mood, he wouldn't throw something as harmless as a banana peel, but a deadly sword. The life and death of the Meng people depended entirely on luck. If anyone dared to avoid it, they would be annihilated, and their entire family would be in danger.
At this moment, the king's carriage suddenly stopped without warning. Due to inertia, Touhe Luobu Xieqiyao was shaken violently. He was immediately furious and shouted at the elephant slave in front of him: "Are you tired of living? Do you want to die?"
The elephant slave was so frightened by the king's sudden shout that he replied in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, there is a Tang army ahead!"
When Touhe Luobu Xieqiyao heard that it was a team from the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help feeling curious. He slowly crawled to the front, reached out to pull up the curtain of the carriage, and looked out. Sure enough, he saw a team of Tang Dynasty soldiers.
Qi Yifei rode on the horse, his posture straight as a pine tree, his expression stern, his brows slightly furrowed.
Why doesn't the king get out of the way quickly? Does he really not know what danger lies ahead?
Tou and Luo Buxie Qiyao felt increasingly unhappy as they looked at the arrogant group of Jinyiwei in front of them.
"The Tang Dynasty, so what? I've never seen their official uniforms before. They look more like guards hired by a caravan."
I have seen many people like this. In the past, when those caravans saw my carriage, they always made way respectfully.
Why are these people so arrogant? "
