The official in front of him looked at Wu Laoqi in a suspicious manner and asked in Guanzhong dialect: "Is there a road to the Tang Dynasty?"

"No." Wu Laoqi also replied and handed him a bag of money.

After taking the purse, the official took a look at the full amount of copper coins from the Tang Dynasty, and hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Wu Laoqi asked again...

The official saw the scene and asked again: "But there are other proofs."

"It's gone." Wu Laoqi said.

The official sneered with the money and left, and ignored Wu Laoqi and wanted to leave.

Seeing the situation, Wu Laoqi greeted the boat behind him, "Fire the cannon!"

After a long quiet time, a loud noise was heard, and a shell shot out from the ship and landed more than ten meters away from the official. The flames blew up and burned a forest. Wu Laoqi came to the Nanzhao official who was frightened and whispered: "Can I meet your Nanzhao King now?"

"Yes, okay." The Nanzhao official nodded vigorously.

Wu Laoqi ordered the brothers on the boat, leaving the two to follow him to meet the King of Nanzhao. All the other brothers drove the boat not far away and waited for the boat!

Wu Laoqi carried the sword and followed the official into the territory of Nanzhao. The climate in Nanzhao was very humid. There were many snakes, insects, rats and ants all the way through the forest. After walking out of this forest, he arrived at a small village. Wu Laoqi was very familiar with this area and often brought his brothers to Nanzhao to enjoy the entertainment.

I rode a not-very tall horse and rushed to the location of King Nanzhao for four or five days. I listened to the officials around me to introduce this place to Taihe City.

After a newspaper, Wu Laoqi became a little impatient and had been outside Taihe City for most of the day when he saw the ministers from Nanzhao coming to greet him. Moreover, it seemed that the ministers from Nanzhao did not believe in him very much.

The other party looked at Wu Laoqi and said, "I have never heard of the envoys from the Tang Dynasty."

"I am not an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, I am a native of the Tang Dynasty. I want to see you King Nanzhao!" Wu Laoqi said.

"Your Majesty Nanzhao is not what you say..."

Wu Laoqi stepped forward and interrupted him, "When did you King Nanzhao be so arrogant? It seems that I want to go back to Chang'an and speak carefully with Mr. Gu Hou and said, "I came to you from Nanzhao on Mr. Gu Hou's boat."

When the Nanzhao minister heard the name Gu Houye, he began to feel nervous. After talking to the officials who brought Wu Laoqi here for several conversations, he also confirmed that Wu Laoqi did have a ship in his hand and a firearm unique to the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, all ships going out to sea are from the Tang Dynasty, and these fleets are from Gu Qing's people. This is something that all surrounding small countries know. From the East China Sea to the South China Sea, all the troops of Nanzhao had long known about it.

"Sir, please follow me." The minister then brought Wu Laoqi into Taihe City.

When I walked into Taihe City, I saw the appearance. It was not big, but there were indeed many people. It was the season of harvest of fruits and fruits, and the fragrance of fruits could be tasted everywhere. Wu Laoqi followed him all the way to the palace in Nanzhao.

The two men following Wu Laoqi looked at the palace's facade and whispered: "The King of Nanzhao is really rich. Look at the pillars of these are all gilded."

"Shut up." Wu Laoqi shouted in a low voice.

He handed all the horizontal swords in his hand to the guards of the palace. Wu Laoqi brought his people into the palace and then saw the so-called Nanzhao King. This Nanzhao King looked very young and should be about the same age as Gu Qing.

"I have met King Nanzhao." Wu Laoqi said with a tribute.

The King of Nanzhao smiled and said, "No need to be polite. It is said that you are Mr. Gu. Is he okay now?"

"It's pretty good." Wu Laoqi said, thinking in his mind how he didn't reveal any flaws.

"I think so many years have passed before I knew it." The King of Nanzhao recalled: "I was the prince of Nanzhao at the time. I followed our envoys from Nanzhao to worship the Tang Dynasty. At that time, I heard that there was a very impressive young man named Gu Qing in the Tang Dynasty. He was about the same age as my king at that time, but he was not as good as him. I admired his wisdom very much. If I had the chance, I must sit with him and ask him for advice."

Wu Laoqi didn’t speak. It’s best not to speak at this time. The more you say, the more flaws you have, the more you have.

"By the way!" King Nanzhao continued to ask, "Have you solved the problem at the beginning?"

Hearing this, Wu Laoqi was still silent, not knowing what the question was about the Nanzhao King.

"It's the question of "The Life and Death Sect". The envoys from all countries couldn't answer it. Is there an answer to this question now?" King Nanzhao asked again.

Wu Laoqi gritted his teeth and tried his luck and replied: "I have heard of this question below. It is indeed difficult, but Mr. Gu must have an answer."

A slight answer is hopeful to get over it.

The King of Nanzhao also sighed and said, "Indeed, even if it was a question given by Gu Qing, he must have an answer."

"Actually, we came here this time to ask King Nanzhao." Wu Laoqi continued.

"You can talk about things a few days later." The King of Nanzhao said with a smile on his face: "You must have been very tired all the way. You have already arranged a banquet and a residence."

As he said that, the palace maid who was standing beside him took Wu Laoqi and his two men to leave.

After they left, the smile of the King of Nanzhao disappeared from his face and asked the minister who brought them, saying, "Are they really Gu Qing's people?"

"The officials who came to report said that they were from the Tang Dynasty, and these people had a ship with firearms, so only Gu Qing's people should have it." The minister said.

Nanzhao has been sending grain to the Central Plains over the years, and the grain delivered more than tens of millions of stones every year. In recent years, Nanzhao has close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and every year, Nanzhao students will also go to Chang'an's academy to study, and the news about the Tang Dynasty has never stopped over the years.

"This person is a little strange." The King of Nanzhao said in his heart, "How many people have they come in total."

"There are only three of them here. There should be dozens of people on the boat on the coast, only one boat, but they have no road guides, no letters or proofs, but there are indeed firearms on the boat." The minister replied.

The young King of Nanzhao was thinking in his mind, "If they were really the people sent by Gu Qing, what would Gu Qing want Nanzhao to do?"

"Now it is said that the Tang Dynasty is going to expedition the West, which may be related to the expedition?"

"No, it's too wrong." The King of Nanzhao shook his head and said, "The Tang Dynasty knew the weakness of our Nanzhao. They looked down on our troops and horses. And I had agreed before that we were just helping the Tang Dynasty fleet to travel to India. There was a very strange thing about this man. He said the word "Queen", which was not like Gu Qing's approach."
