Chapter 851
Harsha Empire.
After a long sea voyage, Li Tai finally arrived.
As soon as he went ashore, he kept muttering.
"Uncle lied; where are the foreign women with no clothes on along the way?
Instead, the weather here is terrifyingly hot, almost roasting people alive!"
But he has already arrived at the Harsha Empire, and it is too late to say anything now.
As soon as Li Tai arrived, he was granted an audience by the Harsha King.
The Harsha King's expression was not very good.
What provoked the Harsha King to this extent?
"Envoy of the Great Tang, what have you come for again? Could it be that since you deceived me last time, you have come specifically to apologize this time?"
Li Tai was dumbfounded as soon as he heard this.
The Harsha King saying the Tang envoy deceived him must refer to the matter of trading green radishes for elephants.
In that transaction, the Great Tang indeed made a killing.
But as soon as they turned around, the elephants were snatched away by Great Qin, and the Great Tang didn't get any benefits either.
Fine, let's apologize!
"Respected Harsha King, I am truly sorry. We wanted to capture that Tang envoy who deceived you and hand him over to Your Majesty for disposal.
But he had already been captured by Great Qin first."
The Harsha King did not want to hear these explanations from Li Tai.
He said indignantly again.
"And there is Master Bianji, he is also a Tang person, right? I respected him so much and let him be the State Preceptor.
He actually colluded with the Tang envoy to deceive me and caused my one hundred thousand troops to be completely buried in Yelang!
Do you have any news about Master Bianji? I want to tear him apart with my own hands!"
Li Tai had a narrow escape when he heard this.
He had originally wanted to mention Master Bianji to improve the goodwill between the two countries.
Now it seems, fortunately, he hadn't had the chance to mention it yet. The Harsha King's hatred for Master Bianji seems to be even greater than for Pei Ji.
Li Tai is in a difficult position.
He originally thought this diplomatic mission was just a simple errand and that he only needed to make contact.
Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, he would be cursed at.
It's all the evil caused by Pei Ji and Master Bianji!
"Your Majesty, Master Bianji was originally a fugitive from our Great Tang, and we also want to capture him very much. It's just that now, he has disappeared."
While Li Tai explained to the Harsha King, he quickly thought about how to improve the relationship in this situation.
There is really no way!
The Harsha King stared at Li Tai with cold eyes.
"Your Great Tang has hurt the feelings of my Harsha Empire. You must pay a large sum of money, otherwise don't even think about going back!"
Li Tai was startled.
He originally thought that the danger would only come from Great Qin.
When he first got off the boat, he heard that the Harsha Empire was still intact, and he didn't know how happy he was in his heart.
But now, the Harsha King hadn't said two sentences before announcing that he had been kidnapped.
Yes, it is kidnapping!
Not letting him leave and asking the Great Tang for a ransom, if this isn't kidnapping, what is?
"Harsha King, you can't do this! I came here this time carrying the goodwill of the Great Tang, hoping to deal with Great Qin together with your country!"
It would have been better not to mention dealing with Great Qin; as soon as it was mentioned, the Harsha King suddenly exploded.
He kicked the low table in front of him, and the things on the table rolled all over the floor.
"It's all because of you! Otherwise, how could I have provoked a strong enemy like Great Qin?"
Strong enemy?
Li Tai was a bit confused.
When they went to attack Yelang before, the Harsha Empire's attitude wasn't like this.
At that time, they were full of confidence, relying on their ten thousand elephants, and didn't take anyone seriously.
Now it's good, they actually regret provoking Great Qin!
This change in attitude is a bit ridiculous!
"No, Your Majesty, do you regret provoking Great Qin? But you have already fought to that extent, even if you regret it now, Great Qin won't let you off, right?" Li Tai's words were indeed a bit rude.
But the Harsha people didn't care much about etiquette in the first place, and didn't even care much about reason.
In his expectation, the Harsha King shouldn't care too much.
However, the situation far exceeded Li Tai's imagination.
The Harsha King actually drew his sword and was about to kill Li Tai.
Li Tai was stunned!
He didn't know what he had said to provoke the Harsha King to this extent?
That shouldn't be!
For this person to be so irrational, how much stimulation must he have received to be able to do this?
Life is important!
Li Tai's fat body rolled to the side like a donkey. He slapped his arm, and a small poison arrow shot out from his sleeve, heading straight for the Harsha King's chest.
This poison arrow, launched by a powerful mechanism, was something he had customized from a wandering knight back in Chang'an.
At that time, he couldn't kill Li Ke, but Li Tai thought this thing was good for self-defense, so he always carried it with him.
Today, it really came in handy and saved his life.
The Harsha King's chest was hit by this small poison arrow. With a 'clang', the small arrow was bounced onto the ground.
It turned out that the Harsha King was secretly wearing armor under his clothes.
He really didn't mind the heat!
The Harsha King was frightened by this and didn't dare to rush up again, urgently retreating.
At this moment, a feathered arrow flew over and nailed into the Harsha King's forehead.
The Harsha King died on the spot!
This reversal came so unexpectedly that Li Tai was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on here?
He saw a group of people rush in from outside and take control of the Harsha palace. Li Tai and his Great Tang diplomatic mission were all captured.
Afterwards, heaven-shaking shouts of killing arose, and someone began to attack the Harsha Kingdom's capital, Kannauj.
Li Tai had no idea what was going on.
What he saw before him was someone launching a surprise attack on the palace, and then, taking advantage of the command system being destroyed, capturing Kannauj in one fell swoop.
