"What are those monsters?"
Seeing the black mass in front of the city wall, Prince Li Gang couldn't help but say.
"It seems to be some cavalry, but it doesn't look like it!”Seventh Prince Li Xi said hesitantly.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan waved his hand lightly, and Sword Nine led a group of Black Dragon Cavalry towards the Korean convoy.
Gongsun Zhen was stunned when he saw Jian Jiu and his men rush out. He then looked at Zhao Xuan.
"Your Highness, this…"
Zhao Xuan waved his hand." It's fine. I'll just tell the Koreans to station their troops outside the city!"”
When the true appearance of the Black Dragon Riders was revealed to the Koreans, everyone, including the Crown Prince, was shocked.
Korea was a small country with few people, so they had never seen such a terrifying iron armored monster.
More importantly, the Black Dragon Cavalry's warhorses inherited the size of the Frisian warhorses. They were more than 1.7 meters tall, and if the black armored knights on their horses were included, they were more than two meters tall.
As for Koreans, although they also sat on horses, their horses were all Mongolian horses, and the average horse was about 1.2 meters.
Facing these two-meter-tall armored beasts, the Koreans were generally 40 to 50 centimeters shorter.
What was a 1.5-meter world like? The Koreans finally experienced it today.
"Which one of you is the Crown Prince of Koryo?" Sword Nine also sat on his horse and shouted at the Koreans from above.
"I am the Crown Prince of Koryo. Who are you?”Prince Li Gang walked out and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I am Jian Jiu, the guard of Crown Prince Zhao Xuan. The Crown Prince asked me to inform the Crown Prince that he can bring the Princess and the envoys into the city! Luzhou City is too small to hold so many soldiers. As for the army that His Highness the Crown Prince has brought, the Crown Prince has ordered us to prepare barracks, wine, and meat.”Sword Nine said to Crown Prince Li Gang in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"The soldiers of our army will naturally enter the city to protect His Highness the Crown Prince!”A burly man rode out from behind and shouted at Jian Jiu.
"General Piao, don't be rash. This is the Song territory. How about this, General Piao will bring 500 people with us into the city, and the rest will be settled outside the city.”Crown Prince Li Gang wasn't an absolute fool to be able to become the Crown Prince of Korea. He spoke at this time.
"Alright, since that's the case, we'll lead the way!”After Jian Jiu finished speaking, he turned his horse around and led a team of Black Dragon Cavalry to walk in front.
"This prince of the Great Song doesn't seem to be as kind as we thought. He's really arrogant!”Seventh Prince Li Xi said to Crown Prince Li Gang.
Li Gang smiled but didn't answer. He was thinking about how he would embarrass the Song people later.
Zhao Xuan looked at the approaching Korean envoy and rode his horse to meet them.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, it has been hard on you!”
"Your Highness, what are you saying? It's all for the good of the two alliances.”
The two sides fought with each other. This time, because the person who welcomed them was Zhao Xuan, Li Gang did not humiliate Gongsun Zhen unscrupulously like in the original TV series.
Speaking of which, in his previous life, Zhao Xuan had never understood. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was Kaifeng, and Koryo was in the north. Luzhou, which was the future Hefei, was in the south of Kaifeng. Why would the Koryo envoy go to Luzhou?
However, in this life, he understood that from the northeast to Kaifeng, all the way was the territory of the Liao Dynasty. Therefore, the Korean envoy came directly by sea.
However, unlike the later generations, there were many ports along the Song coast. The large ports that could be docked were all in Jiangnan. Therefore, the Goryeo diplomatic mission took the sea route to Jiangnan and then returned from Jiangnan to Kaifeng.
After entering the city, Li Gang's expression became even uglier.
It was all because Zhao Xuan was walking side by side with him. However, Zhao Xuan's horse was tall while Li Gang's horse was short. Walking side by side with Zhao Xuan was like a short man, which was particularly disharmonious.
At this moment, on a tall building in the distance, a few men in black suddenly held swords and stabbed at Li Gang.
"Protect the Crown Prince!" General Piao shouted loudly. At the same time, he drew his saber and prepared to face the enemy!
"There's no need to make a fuss. Sword Nine, go and finish them off!”Zhao Xuan looked at the flying assassin and said indifferently.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon after, Jian Jiu and a few white-robed sword guards beside Zhao Xuan leaped up and thrust their swords at the black-robed man who was charging toward them.
These men in black were all experts and their martial arts were not weak. However, the martial arts of the White-Robed Sword Guards were even more superb. They were all trained by Xiaoyao Zi.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
With four loud thuds, the four assassins in black were kicked in front of Zhao Xuan by Jian Jiu and the others, and the tip of their swords was pressed against their throats.
"Arrest him!" Crown Prince Li Gang said angrily.
Zhao Xuan sneered and shook his head." There's no need. I'm afraid they're all dead!"”
Soon after, Jian Jiu and the others took off the masks of these men in black. Sure enough, a trace of black blood had already flowed out of the corners of their mouths. Clearly, they had already bitten off the poison in their mouths and committed suicide.
"It's just a group of death warriors. Lord Gongsun, take them away and see if you can find out their identities!”Zhao Xuan casually arranged.
Then, he looked at Crown Prince Li Gang,""Your Highness, don't worry. In the territory of the Great Song, without my permission, no one can touch the Crown Prince! Let's go. We shouldn't let these villains disturb our mood. Let's go and have a taste of the wine I prepared for the Crown Prince. How about it?”
"Since the prince has invited me, then I will respectfully accept it!”Although Li Gang was angry, he couldn't vent his anger at this moment. He could only agree unhappily.
Then, the group of people continued to walk towards the Lai Yi Pavilion!
