Hundreds of yamen servants suddenly appeared on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City. Their costumes were different from those of the Chang'an County Yamen who usually patrolled. , and the word "Temple" written on their clothes shows their identities, they are government servants affiliated to Dali Temple.And the person who led this group of yamen servants was none other than Dai Zhou, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

After Wei Zheng and Wang, Li Xiaogong, Liu Zhenghui, Sun Fujia, and Dai Zhou left the Liangyi Hall and returned to Dali Temple, everyone began to discuss how to deal with the matter accused by the confession.Li Shimin had already handed over the case to Wei Zheng and others when they were in Liangyi Hall. After Wei Zheng and others returned to Dali Temple, they did not dare to neglect. After a short discussion, everyone finally discussed a result, which was to order Dai Zhou The leader rushed to the translation hall, and must capture the envoys of Goryeo and Fusang, and not let any one of them escape.Therefore, Dai Zhou led the yamen servants of Dali Temple to the gate of the translation of the foreign missions and quickly surrounded the courtyards of the Korean envoys and Fusang envoys.

Princess Fusang Morita Rieko was drinking tea and chatting with Koryo envoys Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi, as well as Prince Murong Shun of Tuyuhun. The topic of discussion was, of course, what would happen in the third trial. At that time, I saw a samurai stumbling into the house without even knocking on the door.Morita Rieko didn't expect her subordinates to be so rude, and she would be so rude when she entertained the honored guests in her heart with the tea method she just learned from Datang in the past few days. , but before she could say anything, she heard the warrior eagerly said, "Report to the princess, there are many soldiers from the Tang Dynasty outside the gate, they surrounded our courtyard, and they are rushing towards the princess's courtyard here."

"What?" Rieko Morita panicked, but she tried to calm herself down and asked again, "You read that right? Are they soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"

In addition to Morita Rieko, the Koryo envoys Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi, as well as the Prince Murong Shun of Tuyuhun, were also surprised. However, among the three, the expressions of the Korean envoys Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi were the same as Morita Rieko's, showing fear in their astonishment. Murong Shun, Prince of Tuyuhun, was much calmer.

"His Royal Highness, the real soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they seem to be servants of the Dali Temple!" The warrior said with certainty.

"Dali Temple?" Rieko Morita took a deep breath, and looked at Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi, the envoys of Korea, involuntarily.However, the subtle expression changes of the three of them still did not escape Murong Shun's eyes.Murong Shun is not stupid, seeing the expressions of the three people, and then associating with the panic in the eyes of the three people looking at each other, he understands the key point.At this time, a large group of servants from Dali Temple broke open the door and followed Dai Zhou in.

"I didn't expect Envoy Gao Zheng and Deputy Envoy Li to be here. I have been looking for it for a long time!" Dai Zhou joked when he saw Gao Yanshou and Li Siqi appearing in Princess Fusang's room.It's just that although his words contained a sense of ridicule, his tone was very severe, not like he was joking but questioning.

"Goryeo envoy Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi met Dai Shaoqing!" Gao Yanshou and Li Siqi said respectfully.At the same time, Morita Rieko and Murong Shun also went forward to salute Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou ignored Gao and Li, who were respectful and respectful, and even more ignored Morita Rieko and Murong Shun, and said in a stern tone, "Envoy Gao Zheng and Deputy Envoy Li, I have been ordered to invite you to Dali Temple this time. To verify one thing, if there is no major matter, please invite the two of you? By the way, and Your Highness Princess, please follow me to Dali Temple..."

Before Dai Zhou finished speaking, Morita Rieko suddenly said in a lukewarm tone, "Dai Shaoqing came here today to arrest us and go to Dali Temple?"

Although Morita Rieko's tone was tepid when she said this, her face clearly showed displeasure.

"I don't know why Dai Shaoqing asked us to go to Dali Temple? Please tell Dai Shaoqing clearly!" Gao Shouyan also asked Dai Zhou at this time.On the contrary, Murong Shun on the side was very quiet. Ever since he was insulted by Li Ke in the Hall of Taiji, Fu Zhen told the Khan of Tuyuhun what happened in the Hall of Taiji, and Khan of Tuyuhun immediately replied to Fuzhen after receiving the news. , and also severely reprimanded Murong Shun in the letter, which made Murong Shun restrain himself a lot in the past few days.At this time, he saw that Dai Zhou didn't mention his name in his words, and he found the fear in the eyes of Morita Rieko and Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi just now, so he knew that he didn't mind his own business and just watched everyone quietly.

Dai Zhou didn't expect Morita Rieko to dare to talk to him like that. In his heart, Fusang is just a country outside the story. He has already given enough face by coming here in person, but he didn't expect Morita Rieko to be so ignorant.

"His Royal Highness, I am very serious to tell you that you are the person I am here to translate and arrest today." Dai Zhou walked up to Rieko Morita a few steps forward, with a playful smile on his face, "Your Highness, don't forget You are stepping on the land of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are still in the Tang Dynasty, as long as you violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you should be punished. Also, I am not afraid to tell you, don’t say that you are from the Fusang Kingdom The princess is the king of the Fusang Kingdom, as long as he violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty, I will lead the servants behind him to the palace of the Fusang Kingdom to arrest people."

"Huh!" Dai Zhou said here, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "His Royal Highness and the two envoys of Goryeo, please!"

Morita Rieko didn't expect Dai Zhou's attitude to be so tough. She wanted to force Dai Zhou to make concessions just now by relying on her status as a very emissary of the princess, and wanted to ask him some information to buy herself some time, but at this moment she has been forced Shocked by Dai Zhou's words, she suddenly realized how humble she was in Dai Zhou's eyes, and how insignificant Fusang was in Dai Zhou's eyes. After glaring at Dai Zhou, he obediently followed the servant out of the house.But Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi didn't dare to resist even more, so they could only cautiously follow behind Morita Rieko.

Dai Zhou asked the servants to take away Morita Rieko, Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi, and when he was about to step out of the room, he suddenly turned his head and said to Murong, who hadn't recovered from what he just said, "Prince, After you go back, you should stay with the interpreter and don’t wander around, and don’t let the official find you when you are looking for you.” After speaking, he strode out of the room.

Murong Shun was overwhelmed by Dai Zhou's words, but he saw a cold light in Dai Zhou's eyes, and Murong Shun was very annoyed by Dai Zhou's eyes like treating a murderer.But he still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and he didn't say a word when Dai Zhou left the compound of the Fusang Mission.

"Decree, without the order of my official and Dali Temple, all the personnel of the Koryo mission and the Fusang mission are not allowed to leave the courtyard for half a step, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" When Murong Shun walked out of the room, he heard Dai Zhou's harsh and intolerant order to resist.At the same time, the expressions of Morita Rieko, Gao Shouyan, and Li Siqi when they heard the word "Dali Temple" appeared in his mind.At this time, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and he felt that something big would definitely happen in the next few days.
