"Silla people? It seems a little different?" Li Xiu looked at the team of cavalry running from the official road, and hesitated to himself, because these cavalry people he had seen before, but he felt that some places were different, and looking at their appearance, they seemed to be coming for him.

"Duke of Yan!" Just when Li Xiu was confused, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in the position of the cavalry leader. He said hello to him loudly. This middle-aged man was obviously a Han man in a gorgeous costume. He was Gao Biaoren, the envoy sent by Li Shimin to Japan.

"Haha, it turns out to be the Duke of Bohai County. After years of separation, Brother Gao's style is still the same!" When Li Xiu saw Gao Biaoren, he immediately laughed loudly, and at the same time guessed that the cavalry behind him, which was somewhat similar to the Silla people, should be the Baekje mission he brought. It was said that the mission was led by the Baekje prince Yici, so it was normal to have a team of cavalry guards.

Speaking of which, although Gao Biaoren failed to go to Japan, the crime was not on him. The main reason was that the King of Japan was too arrogant and refused to give in according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Gao Biaoren refused to give in, which was considered to be the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he was not only innocent, but also made contributions. In addition, he also went to Baekje, which made Baekje take the initiative to send a mission to the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, both of them were great achievements. Therefore, after he returned, he was awarded the title of Duke of Bohai County to commend his contributions.

"Duke Yan was joking. I was so desperate for death when I was on a mission last time. I was seriously ill three times on the way. When I crossed the sea, I encountered a storm and almost buried myself in the belly of a fish. It was a lucky thing to be able to come back. Even the villain said that I was mostly old when I went out, so I could not speak of any charm!" Gao Biaoren came to Li Xiu at this time and smiled bitterly.

Li Xiu also discovered that Gao Biaoren was indeed much older than before. Not to mention anything else, his hair was gray. It seemed that he had suffered a lot on his way to the mission. He couldn't help but comfort him: "It is said that only by suffering can one be the best. Brother Gao can come back safely. His career will definitely be smooth in the future, and it is just around the corner to revive his family!"

"Duke Chengguo Ji Yan, but I came today to introduce the Prince Yici around me!" Gao Biaoren first thanked Li Xiu, and then thought of the purpose of coming today, and then pointed to a young man in gorgeous clothes beside him and introduced to Li Xiu.

"I'm going to visit Prince Yici of Baekje, and pay homage to Duke Yan!" The young man in the gorgeous clothes immediately stepped forward and saluted Li Xiu. Although he was a prince, he knew very well how big the gap between Baekje and the Tang Dynasty behind him. Not to mention him, even his father, Baekje, came to the Tang Dynasty and bowed his head when facing an important official like Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was also looking at Prince Yici. As far as he knew, Yici seemed to be the last king of Baekje. Many years later, Su Dingfang destroyed Baekje, and seemed to have taken Yici to Chang'an. In the end, he died of illness in the Tang Dynasty. He was considered a very tragic figure.

However, although Yici is the king of the country that has been destroyed, it does not mean that he is incapable. In fact, he has been famous for his filial piety since childhood and is known as Zengzi of Haidong. When he was in power, he also made great reforms to Baekje, which made Baekje soar and even defeated his old enemy Silla for a while. Unfortunately, when facing the giant Tang Dynasty, Yici was only able to do something by a mantis arm, and finally could only be crushed under the chariot of the Tang Dynasty.

"You have to be polite. Prince Yici came from afar. Are you still adapting to life in Chang'an?" Li Xiu said with a smile. Yici had a medium figure and a pretty ordinary appearance, but his eyes showed a sense of perseverance. You can tell at a glance that he was a person with great perseverance.

"Thank you for your concern of Yan. Chang'an is extremely prosperous. When I was in Baekje, I heard that Chang'an was the center of the world, but I couldn't imagine how it looked. Until I came here in person, I realized that Chang'an was far more prosperous than I thought. Only a great country like the Tang Dynasty could have such a prosperous capital, which is far beyond the reach of Ji!" Yici said in a very low voice at this time.

"Prince Yici is polite. This is not a place to speak. If you don't dislike it, why not go to our mansion to have a cup of tea?" Li Xiu smiled slightly when he heard this, and then invited the other party to say.

"I can't ask for it!" Yici was originally coming for Li Xiu, so of course he would not refuse. So, under the leadership of Li Xiu, he and Gao Biaoren came to Li Xiu's living room to sit down.

"Is Baekje King in good health?" Li Xiu picked up the tea and sipped it, then asked Yici with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my father is in good health, but he is older and his energy is not as strong as before, so I usually help with some government affairs!" Yici replied respectfully at the moment, but Li Xiu could hear that Yici was showing himself his status in Baekje. After all, not all princes can help the Baekje king handle government affairs."

"That's good. I have long heard that Prince Yici is famous for his filial piety and knowledgeable. He will definitely be able to carry forward Baekje in the future!" Li Xiu said calmly at the moment, and his words also expressed his support for Yici.

This also made Yici immediately feel happy, and stood up again and bowed to Li Xiu and said, "Thank you for your praise from Duke Yan. If you ascend to the throne in the future, you will definitely be friendly with the Tang Dynasty for generations. Everything will be followed by the leader of the Tang Dynasty!"

Although Yici is the most beloved son of Baekje King and Baekje King is willing to pass the throne to him, his brothers are also eyeing the throne. Even if he really ascends the throne to the future, he may not be able to sit firmly. However, it is different to be able to get the support of the Tang Dynasty now. Even if the Tang Dynasty does nothing, most of the nobles in Baekje will support him. No one can shake his throne at that time, so he is so excited.

"Prince Yici is polite. Speaking of which, our Tang Dynasty has always liked to live in harmony with the surrounding countries. Baekje is located in Haidong and its geographical location is very important. Therefore, the friendship between the two countries is also a good thing for our Tang Dynasty. However, Goguryeo is ambitious. It has been encroaching on the territory of our Central Plains in the Sui Dynasty and has refused to return it to it now. It is really hateful!" Li Xiu first smiled and asked Yici to sit down, and then brought the topic to Goguryeo.

"What the Duke of the Kingdom said is that Goguryeo is a wolf's ambition, not only is it disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, but it also oppresses us in normal times. It is pity that our Baekje country is weak and is not a match for Goguryeo." Yici also showed an angry expression when he mentioned Goguryeo.

Hearing Yici's words, Gao Biaoren next to him suddenly curled his lips. If it were someone who didn't know, he would probably be deceived by Yici's words, but he was not worried, because Li Xiu must have known that Yici was not in tune with his words and did not tell the truth at all.
