Chapter 531 A Baekje Fleet Chases

"See His Royal Highness King Jin, I'll wait for the Baekje navy to catch up on the left, shall I blow it up and sink it?"

After only one day after leaving Qingzhou Harbor, Li Xuan lost all interest and began to yawn while sitting on the boat.

Suddenly, Li Gaoping, the deputy envoy, walked over excitedly.

Ever since he had seen the power of bombs, Li Gaoping wanted to blow everything up to pieces!
"Baekje Navy?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others who were bored couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and quickly took out a clairvoyant from their arms, and looked across the bank of Baekje.

Sure enough, they saw a dozen large Baekje ships coming towards their fleet.

"These Baekje fleets seem a little slow?"

After watching for a while, Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that these Baekje fleets are a bit slow!"

Li Gaoping couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Order the fleet to slow down, and see what these Baekje fleets want to do?"

Li Xuan ordered.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Li Gaoping did not hesitate at all, and ordered towards the various ships.

Before seeing the bomb, for the safety of Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others, Li Gaoping would never let these Baekje fleets approach.

However, Li Gaoping, who had personally ignited two bombs, was very confident that even if there were only ten giant ships, even fifty ships would be blown to pieces by the bombs.

However, Inugami Mita Suzuki didn't know.

Therefore, after seeing the fleet slow down, they were shocked and hurried to find Li Xuan.

"The envoy sees His Royal Highness King Jin! The envoy saw the fleet slow down, but what happened?"

Li Xuan smiled softly: "There is a Baekje fleet chasing this king's fleet, and this king wants to see what's going on with these hozens!"

"What, there is a Baekje fleet coming?"

Inugami Mita's expression changed drastically, he stretched his head on his feet, and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, I could vaguely see small black dots heading towards their fleet and chasing after them.

Inugami Mita said hastily: "His Royal Highness, these Baekje fleets must have malicious intentions. For the safety of you and everyone, it is best for us to leave quickly!"

"It's just a dozen big ships, why should I be afraid of them?"

Li Xuan glared at Inugami Mita.

"That's right, it's just a few small boats, what are you talking about, a Japanese hozen?" Cheng Chusi directly opened his broken voice, satisfied and contemptuous.

"Okay, you hozen just need to show the way. Why do you need to give me advice on how the master should behave?"

Li Chongyi on the side also had a gloomy and displeased face.

"Hmph, barbarian hozen, you don't know etiquette at all, you don't know honor or inferiority!"

Gao Biaoren, the envoy who had never spoken, also reprimanded in a cold voice.

Didn't you see that even though he was an envoy holding a banner, he didn't say a word along the way?

"Your envoy has been rude, and please forgive me, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Hearing this, Inugami Mita shuddered, and hurriedly apologized with panic.

"It's okay, just pay more attention next time!"

Li Xuan waved his hand casually, and explained: "In Lijiazhuang, you are doing business with me, so you can ignore your status. But, this trip, you are an envoy of the Wa Kingdom, and this king is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Honorable etiquette!"

"Yes!" Inuami Mita nodded.

"In addition, you must also remember that these bastards are all my nephews and disciples, and you are not allowed to disclose any of their identities!"

Li Xuan asked again.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Inugami Mita answered again and again.

"Okay, step back if there is nothing to do!" Li Xuan waved his hand casually.

Then, he changed his posture, lay on the sofa on the boat, and waited for the Baekje fleet in the distance.

And Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others were all slumped into the sofa wrapped in silk, without any image at all.

Seeing this, the corners of Gao Biaoren's mouth twitched slightly, but thinking of how he was bullied by Li Xuanke two days ago, he could only sigh helplessly and close his eyes directly.

Gao Biaoren was not an ordinary person either. He came from a family. His father, Gao Jiong, had been prime minister for nearly 20 years in the former Sui Dynasty, so Gao Biaoren also developed a rigid set of rules.

Especially, the behavior of Li Xuan and Li Chengqian, who is not a king, a minister is not a minister; a teacher is not a teacher, and a disciple is not a disciple, is extremely uncomfortable to watch.

It's just that he is only a fourth-rank governor, and has no right to intervene in the behavior of the Tang prince and the crown prince.

"Old Gao, this is on a huge ship. Be more casual. You don't need to keep a straight face all day long. It's time to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Relax!"

Regarding Gao Biaoren's envoy, Li Xuan was also full of helplessness.

He had only seen such a rigid guy before in Old Man Kong.

If I had known earlier, this old man was so virtuous that even if he quarreled with Li Shimin, he would change Li Shimin to a good one.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I am deeply bound by etiquette and law!"

Gao Biaoren hurriedly cupped his hands and said.

"what ever!"

Li Xuan waved his hand helplessly, reached out from the box beside him, took out a piece of preserved fruit, threw it into his mouth, and began to doze off again.

Although the Baekje fleet was already struggling to catch up, Li Gaoping also ordered the fleet to slow down, so that the Baekje fleet would have the hope of catching up.

However, after the Baekje fleet caught up, it was already two hours later.

"Datang's fleet?"

Seeing the flags hanging on those giant ships as big as hills, General Baekje Sa, who was intercepted last time, was puzzled.

"It's not the fleet of Japanese envoys, how could it be the fleet of Datang?"

"General Qi, the information I received was indeed the Japanese envoy, but somehow, it turned out to be the Datang Fleet!"

The lieutenant's face changed slightly, and he said hastily.

"General, what should I do?"

"withdraw!"

General Sha is also a decisive person, so after discovering something was wrong, he wanted to give an order directly.

However, before the lieutenant-general delivered the order, they saw that the dozen or so big Tang ships turned around directly, intending to surround them.

"General, the situation is wrong!"

The lieutenant's expression changed drastically.

Similarly, General Sha also found out that something was wrong.

"Da Tang wants to destroy us, retreat quickly!"

General Sha hurriedly shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the order, all the Baekje soldiers hurriedly rowed, ready to run back.

Soon, to the despair of all the Baekje soldiers, those huge Tang ships were faster than them.

Especially the two huge ships that looked like steel at the front not only made strange noises, but were even faster than their fleet, and they were full of panic.

In less than a stick of incense, he ran in front of them.

"Scatter and break through!"

"Quickly break through..."

Seeing this, General Sha was full of despair, but he still shouted hastily.

He can be sure that the Datang Fleet just deliberately wanted to lure them to catch up, so as to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, General Sha saw small pieces of iron emitting green smoke, throwing them down from the surrounding giant Tang ships.

Some Baekje soldiers were curious and wanted to bend down to pick it up. Just as they bent down, the small piece of iron emitting green smoke made a loud noise.

Then, a burst of flames burst out, and the soldiers who surrounded them were directly blown away.

Blood clots scattered and fell!

At the same time, a huge deep hole was blown out of the big ship.

Seeing this, General Sha, the lieutenant general and others, their eyes were shattered, and their faces were full of horror.

However, before the two of them could say anything, they suddenly heard the sound of two iron blocks hitting the ship's plank.

The surrounding guards all changed their faces and ran around.
