Chapter 1163 Promise
Until Su Woli's hair was completely shaved, he still knelt on the spot without speaking, staring blankly ahead.

Su Woli will spend the next days in this ancient temple, and will not let him go until one day when His Majesty and Li Zheng feel that he can return to the Wa Kingdom.

In the wine shop outside Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong and Li Xiaogong raised their wine bowls and drank in one gulp.

Li Xiaogong said: "Why do you think Li Zheng kept Su Woli?"

Xu Jingzong ate a piece of mutton and said, "I don't know what Chang'an Ling thinks."

Li Xiaogong poured wine into the wine bowl again, "I don't believe you don't know."

Xu Jingzong let out a long sigh, "No one can guess what Chang'an Ling is thinking. Many times, he can't figure out what Chang'an Ling is doing. It seems to be a very insignificant thing. Afterwards, you will find that it is very useful. It’s been a long time since Duke Hejian has drunk raw water.”

Li Xiaogong nodded and said: "You're right, the old man really hasn't drank raw water for a long time, most of the time he makes tea by himself."

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Is that right, I have developed a habit without knowing it, and found that it has a lot of benefits."

Li Xiaogong looked at Xu Jingzong strangely, and looked back after a while.

Xu Jingzong went on to say: "The Chang'an order will definitely be useful to keep Su Woli, and he will probably let Su Woli return to the Wa country in the future."

Li Xiaogong looked at Xu Jingzong, "He let him know Japanese?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said: "Now Wa country can't tolerate Su Woli anymore. Of course, the war between Wa country and Goguryeo will cause Wa country to fall into war for a long time. The Wa Kingdom ceased the war, and if the Wa Kingdom ceased the war, this Su Woli had to fight for the Wa Kingdom's throne."

After hearing this, Li Xiaogong took a deep breath, "In this way, even if the war in Goguryeo is over, the Wa country will also fall into a civil war between So Wo Shin and So Wo Ri, a war between a stupid older brother and a stubborn younger brother."

Xu Jingzong took a sip of his drink and said, "This is all just a wild guess."

After eating and drinking, Li Xiaogong stood up again, was it Xu Jingzong's guess?
Even if it was Xu Jingzong's guess, Li Xiaogong felt that it was almost the same.

After returning to the Ministry of Rites, Li Xiaogong made jokes as usual.

Half a month later, the Japanese envoy asked to meet Li Xiaogong again.

After they had a fight last time, the leisure time they finally had is over again.

Li Xiaogong led these people to Jingyang again.

Li Zhi has been studying thermodynamics these days.

I don't know if this kid can build a steam engine.

The principle of the steam engine is actually not complicated, but it is two different things to build it.

The steam engine is also a key for Jingyang to enter the industry.

Sitting in the horse pen and looking at Li Zhi's drawings, Xu Jingzong came up and said, "Chang'an Order, Prince Hejian has brought people over."

Li Zheng said, "Let them all come in."

Li Xiaogong walked up to Li Zheng with the Japanese envoy.

Hirano Wu saw Li Zheng salute and said: "I was rude before I stepped down, please forgive me from Chang'an Ling."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't care."

Hirano smiled awkwardly and took out a package and said, "I offended you earlier, this is a gift from our country, please accept it by Chang'an Order."

Li Zheng opened the package and took a look. It contained some dried salted fish.

I don't know how long it has been in the sun, but when I opened it, there was a strong fishy smell.

Li Zheng put the package aside and said, "Your envoy has a heart."

Xu Jingzong glanced at the salted fish in it and also looked disgusted. How poor are these Japanese people, and they use this kind of thing as a gift.

Looking at Hirano Wu in front of him, Li Xiaogong said: "If you have anything to do with Japan, you can tell our Ministry of Rites first, and I will also present what you said to Your Majesty."

Hirano I bowed and said, "I still want to ask Datang for support this time."

Li Xiaogong frowned and said, "Support?"

Hirano Wu let out a long sigh, "The Japanese kingdom cannot be supported alone, and I am afraid that this battle will not last long."

It has already sold food and weapons to the Wa country. It is reasonable to say that the Wa country should be able to hold on for a while, at least it will not lose quickly.

Li Xiaogong said: "The court has already made a decision on whether to support the Wa Kingdom, because the Goguryeoyuan Gaisuwen Rebellion has been put down, and the army has already been sent this year, and the court does not plan to send troops again."

When Li Xiaogong finished speaking, Li Zheng saw Hirano and lowered his head in disappointment.

Li Zheng said again: "Of course we can also support you in another way."

Hirano Wu slowly raised his head and looked at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng waved his fan and said, "If Tang Dynasty doesn't support Goguryeo, how many chances does Wa have to win?"

Hirano Wu was stunned and said in a low voice: "What does the Chang'an Order mean?"

Li Zheng continued: "I can assure you that our Tang Dynasty decided not to help Goguryeo, let alone participate in your war. Is this another kind of wish for you?"

Li Xiaogong thought to himself that this kid is really outspoken, is this considered support?
Hirano Wu slowly said: "This..."

Li Zheng drank a sip of tea and said: "If Goguryeo is willing to use the wealth of the whole country to ask us to send troops from the Tang Dynasty to support it, or if they take out a large area of ​​land, Goguryeo will risk everything to defeat your Wa country, I don't think the court will do it. How firm you are, maybe you will really be moved."

Hirano Wu hurriedly said: "Wo Guo is willing to give everything, and don't let the Tang Dynasty support Goguryeo."

Li Zheng went on to say: "It is not up to us to support Goguryeo or not."

After finishing speaking, Li Zheng stared at Hirano Wu and said, "Do you understand what I mean? If Datang supports Goguryeo, Wa will be defeated. Am I right?"

Hirano nods.

Li Zheng said again: "If we don't support Goguryeo, what chance does your Wa country have?"

Hirano I thought for a while and looked at Li Xiaogong, then at Li Zheng and said, "Fifty percent!"

Li Zheng continued: "We promise not to support Goguryeo."

Hirano Wu said: "Thank you Chang'an Order."

Li Zheng added: "It comes at a price."

Hirano Wu looked at Li Zheng and said, "What price?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "I will lose a lot if I give up supporting Goguryeo. If Goguryeo is willing to use its great benefits to send troops to the court, it means that we have lost these benefits? Don't you think so?"

Hirano Gou nodded slightly, "That's right."

Li Zheng said: "Waguo produces 20 guan every year, and we promise not to support Waguo."

Hirano Wu swallowed hard, "20 guan, isn't it too much?"

Li Zheng looked at Li Xiaogong who was at the side and said, "Young King Hejian, this Japanese envoy doesn't seem to be willing to cooperate with us. I think the Goguryeo envoy is quite sensible. Do you want to talk to them first?"
