Chapter 409 Landing in Fuso
"Escape?" Ichiro Matsudaira asked suspiciously, "We were about to rush back to Fusang to help His Majesty the Emperor put down the chaos, but unexpectedly encountered a storm."

"Eh..." Wang Xiang said speechlessly, "You mean you just came back from Datang?"

He finally understood why Li Er didn't want to send troops to Fusang to help Emperor Fusang put down the chaos. Damn, it would take more than half a year for the warship to go back and forth, which is really troublesome.

The rescued Fusang people all looked weak, obviously the journey was not easy, Matsudaira Ichiro said in a low voice embarrassingly: "Master Hou, we haven't eaten for several days after the storm, I don't know... "

Before the words were finished, the stomachs of the Fusang people groaned, and Wang Xiang said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll ask someone to prepare some food for you, and I still need you to lead the way after eating." , we have been wandering here for a long time and still haven't found the location of Fusang Island."

"Did His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty send Lord Hou to help our Majesty the Emperor?" Matsudaira Ichiro looked very excited. When he entered the palace to ask Li Er for help, Li Er refused. He had already given up hope for Datang's help. Unexpectedly, he met Wang Xiang in Fusang sea area, and he thought Wang Xiang was sent by Li Er to help them.

Seeing that he was very excited, Wang Xiang didn't tell him the truth. Besides, it would be more convenient to use Li Er's name to do many things. He nodded and smiled and said, "Before there were Tubo and Turkic rebellions, that's why His Majesty didn't agree to send troops to help. Now Tubo has surrendered to Turkic Eliminate, so His Majesty asked me to bring people to help."

Wang Xiang said it easily, but Matsudaira Ichiro's heart set off a huge wave. He knew the strength of Tubo and Turkic, and they were definitely the overlords of one side. They were defeated by Datang so quickly after joining forces, and Wang Xiang said Turks were completely wiped out!Based on Ichiro Matsudaira's understanding of Tang, Turks and Tubo, this is simply incredible.

It seems that Datang's strength is much stronger than estimated.Matsudaira thought secretly.

The food prepared on the warship was very delicious and rich. Ichiro Matsudaira and other Fuso people gorged themselves while thanking them. They were really hungry.

After eating several bowls, Ichiro Matsudaira stopped his chopsticks and asked Wang Xiang, "I don't know how many people His Majesty the Tang Emperor asked Lord Hou to bring to help us?"

From the secret letter sent by Fusang, Matsudaira Ichiro learned that the number of rebels under Soga Eizo is very large, and most of the nobles in Fusang have taken refuge in him, and the situation is very unfavorable to the emperor.

Wang Xiang said lightly: "A dozen or so people." Not counting the cooks and servants, there were only a dozen or so people with combat power.

After hearing Wang Xiang's words, Ichiro Matsudaira was immediately dumbfounded, thinking that he had heard wrongly, what can a dozen people do?

Wang Xiang guessed what Ichiro Matsudaira was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the people I bring can be worth a hundred or even a thousand. They are enough."

Ichiro Matsudaira looked at the extremely confident Wang Xiang and his face twitched. He didn't know what to say. When he left Datang, the news of the strange person hadn't spread, so he didn't know the power of the capable person. boast.

Wang Xiang only brought more than a dozen people. Naturally, Ichiro Matsudaira couldn't pin his hopes on them, so he had to find another way. However, he still showed great gratitude and enthusiasm for Wang Xiang bringing people to help. Wang Xiang could see his thoughts He didn't explain much, anyway, he will have the opportunity to see the power of the capable person in the future.

Ichiro Matsudaira is very familiar with the Fusang waters. According to him, the warship Jiayuan is currently in the southeast of Fusang Island, but most of the southeast and northeast of Fusang are occupied by rebels, so they will go around to the west of Fusang Island to land.

Wang Xiang and others finally landed in a small village to the west of Fusang. When the huge steel warship docked at the seaside of the small village, it caused a lot of commotion.

After landing on Fusang land, Ichiro Matsudaira immediately asked people about the current situation of Fusang, and the result was not optimistic. The rebel army led by Soga Eizo became more and more powerful, and most of the Fusang country fell into the hands of the rebels. Even the imperial city of Fusang They were all controlled by Soga Ezo, Emperor Kogoku retreated to other cities under the protection of guards, and now Emperor Kogoku became seriously ill suddenly, and the situation was very urgent.

What made Wang Xiang and the Kawamura sisters heave a sigh of relief was that Kawamura Masaichi, who was the bodyguard next to the emperor, also retreated safely to Tamba Castle with the emperor. Kawamura Masaichi was the younger brother of Kawamura Kumi and Kawamura Shinya.

After finding out the whereabouts of the emperor, Matsuhei Ichiro naturally wanted to meet the emperor, so Wang Xiang and others followed him to Tanba Castle, a small city in the southwest of Fusang, not too far from where they landed.

The scenery he saw along the way was very different from the Fusang that Wang Xiang imagined. Not to mention compared with the most prosperous places in the Tang Dynasty, such as Chang'an and Luoyang, even some ordinary towns in the Tang Dynasty were cheaper than the Fusang he saw. Prosper a lot.

It is such a small country that is far less than Datang. It has continuously absorbed the essence of Datang and other countries to gradually grow itself under the condition of extremely scarce resources. After a thousand years, it has become an economic and military power that cannot be ignored. It is really thought-provoking.

But now that Wang Xiang landed on the land of Fusang, the future fate of this small country has been decided, and that is to become Wang Xiang's back garden.

Arriving at Tamba Castle, the atmosphere in the city was very dignified. By the time Matsudaira Ichiro revealed his identity and met Emperor Kogoku, she was already dying of illness. It is conceivable that the situation would be even more unfavorable if she died of illness.

It was only when Wang Xiang met Emperor Huangji that he realized that the current emperor of Fuso was actually a woman. She looked about forty years old, and it could be vaguely seen from her eyebrows that she was also a beautiful woman when she was young. He couldn't even speak clearly, but when he saw Ichiro Matsudaira, a look of hope suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Matsudaira Ichiro knew what she was concerned about, knelt on the ground respectfully, choked with sobs and said: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has sent reinforcements. This is the Marquis of Jiayuan who the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty relied on the most. This time he is personally leading the army." Soldiers come to help, we will be able to defeat the rebels."

Matsudaira Ichiro spoke Fusang language, Wang Xiang couldn't understand what he said, but he could guess something when he saw him pointing at himself, so he took two steps forward and nodded towards Emperor Huangji who was on the sick bed.

The corner of Emperor Huangji's mouth curled up slightly, trying to squeeze out a smile and then closed his eyes.

The sound of sharp blades being unsheathed suddenly sounded from all around. Wang Xiang, Tie Dan and others were startled, and immediately became vigilant.

Hearing the exclamation of the Kawamura sisters behind him, Wang Xiang looked back quickly. They were holding a boy's arm as if they were begging for something, but the boy was determined and unmoved.

"What's going on?" Wang Xiang frowned, he was confused by the situation in front of him.
