In the southern mountains of Ceylon Island, on the shore of Kandy Lake, this was originally the location of Mahanuwar, the capital of Ceylon, after the British army conquered the island of Ceylon, these glorious Buddhist cities, after being burned and looted, a fire was burned, after the fire burned Mahanuwar, the British army established a small city called Kandy on the other side of Kandy Lake, the original old city was abandoned, and some Sinhalese people who did not recognize the rule of the British army often secretly ran to the ruins of the old city to miss their old times."
Gulasekna, you said that we have received the assistance of Datang this time, can we successfully restore the country??"
Vikra Maranak, the widow of the last king of Sinhala, folded his palms together and bowed to the martyrdom of his father, then turned his head to ask his cronies."
Your Royal Highness, the Tang Dynasty has now changed the emperor, the new emperor is not in agreement with the tyrant, he wants to get rid of the tyrant, as long as the tyrant dies, we Sinhala will be able to restore the country......
"Gulasekhna said very excitedly, "When the time comes, we can let the Tang Emperor marry his daughter to you......
When the time comes, we can go north to Tianzhu and fully restore the grandeur of the Buddha Kingdom....."
Just when the two monarchs and ministers were having unrealistic dreams, they saw a guard stumbling over, "Your Highness, hurry up and retreat into the mountain, hurry up, hurry up and ......"
"What's wrong?"
Tisza, didn't I tell you not to panic and stay calm??
”Seeing his guard, with a panicked face, Vikra Maranak said very dissatisfied."
Ouch, my Highness, I went to Kandy just now, and I have inquired clearly, the tyrant is not dead, but two of his guards died for him......." said the guard named Tisza, breathlessly, "and the worst thing is that Siripala and Farage have rebelled shamefully......
The British army has already slaughtered me, my Highness .......""
Ah???
hVikra Maranak, who was still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, was stunned for a moment, "Retreat, quickly retreat into the mountains......
At the critical moment, the old courtier Gurashekna made the right decision, "Your Highness, go quickly, the British army is strong, and we can't beat it head-on......"
"Are we hiding in the mountains again as rats???
”Vikra Maranak was a little reluctant, he missed his family's high glory very much, and asked him to go to the mountains and forests to live like a mouse again, he was very unwilling."
Tiza, you quickly pick up Your Highness and retreat to the mountains......
"Gulasekhna gritted his teeth and said to Tiza, "Your Highness, the old minister has no choice but to offend, only if you live, our Sinhalese Kingdom has hope of recovering the country......"
The British army's retaliation came very quickly, after Siripala and Farage confessed the secret base of the Sinhalese, Yao Juntao immediately ordered to attack, in order to completely eradicate this poisonous fang buried in the south of Ceylon, he specially used mountain troops who were very good at jungle warfare.Due to the accuracy of the intelligence, the British army sneak attack and surprise, so the British army quickly achieved major results, in addition to ending the Sinhalese nest, they also besieged hundreds of people led by Vikra Maranak in the Perania Valley, "Vikra Maranak, you have reached the point of exhaustion, quickly lay down your arms and surrender, maybe our king is merciful, and can spare your life, if you continue to be obsessed, don't blame us for being ruthless......"
The British interpreter shouted vigorously with a big brass horn."
The Sinhalese will never succumb to your tyrannical rule, and the Sinhalese have only a decapitated king, no prince who surrenders......."
Vikra Maranak relented, knowing that he could not escape, and shouted loudly."
Made, don't be ashamed ....."
Zhao Feng, the British officer who led the team, was very angry when he heard this, so he said to the interpreter, "Tell them, we count to ten, if we still refuse to lay down our arms and surrender, we will send them to meet their Buddha......"
"Listen, our leader said, he only counted to ten, if you still don't put down your arms, kneel down and surrender, I will send you to see your Buddha....."
The interpreter shouted loudly.These hundreds of people are all die-hard loyalists of the Sinhalese royal family, so even after Zhao Feng finished shouting, they still did not put down their weapons, they were very stubborn, and they were still shooting poisonous arrows on both sides of the valley in vain, although these poisonous arrows could not hurt the British soldiers who were far away from the range at all."
Straight thief, since you insist on dying, I have no choice but to give you a ride......"
Zhao Feng waved his hand, "As a result, they ......."
As soon as Zhao Feng's voice fell, he saw gunsmoke rising on both sides of the valley, and after a while, hundreds of people in the valley were all knocked to the ground, "Go down to mend the knife, and be sure to find that Vikra Maranak ....."
Zhao Feng nodded with satisfaction and said.The British soldiers immediately loaded their rifles with bayonets and mended them one by one, in fact, the Vikra Maranak was not dead, his guard Tisa died for him, Tisa had told Vikra Maranak before, he died for Vikra Maranak, and what the Sinhalese prince had to do was to pretend to be dead and avoid the British army.But what Vikra Maranak didn't expect was that the hateful British soldiers checked one by one, as long as they were still panting, they would give a bayonet, he was going to hold his breath and dodge, but he didn't expect that a British soldier stepped on him with a big scalp shoe, but it hurt him a lot, he groaned, attracting the attention of the British army, "Ouch, this product is not low?"
”British soldier A said."
I'll rub it, you see he still has the gem on his head and on his hand, huh?
This is ..... ouch, isn't this Vikra Maranak?
”British soldier B said in surprise, "This thing is playing dead...... and he stepped on Vikra Maranak's chest, and the prince was hurt in one fell swoop."
Whew....."
Vikra Maranak sat up with a grunt, and a few more British soldiers came over and tied him up like a pig, and then brought it to Zhao Feng."
Vikra Maranak, didn't you say that there were only kings who died in battle, and no princes who surrendered?
How did you get caught alive?
”Zhao Feng squinted at the Sinhalese prince, "Take good care of him, send him to the king, don't bite his tongue himself...."
Li Lu personally interrogated this Vikra Maranak, from his mouth, Li Lu learned that it turned out that Tang Mingsong was a messenger sent by Li Zhi, and his mission was to find a way to assassinate Li Lu, Tang Mingsong followed Li Lu for a long time, and found it difficult to start, after Li Lu arrived on Ceylon Island, Tang Mingsong also followed him to Ceylon Island, and connected with the personnel secretly sent to Ceylon by the hundred horses, After a collegiate discussion, they decided to collude with the remnants of the Sinhalese royal family, who had always opposed Li Lu's occupation, and jointly planned the assassination of Li Lu."
I've confessed everything I should have explained, King of kings, please spare this dog's life......"
There is a way that ants still spare their lives, not to mention that this Vikra Maranak is still a person, "I am true, it was the emperor of Chang'an who gave me a promise.....""
For the sake of your honesty, I'll spare you once....."
Li Lu looked at Vikra Maranak, "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, Vikra Maranak, you can go to the Aral Sea for the rest of your life....."

Vikra Maranak understood that the king of kings was going to exile him to the seaside, he was happy at once, it didn't matter what the exile was, as long as the head was still there and alive, it was good, "Thank you King of kings for your grace....."
After learning that he could not die, he naturally thanked Li Lu for his kindness.Since the failure of the assassination of Li Lu, the entire island of Ceylon has fallen into the White Terror, and Tang Mingsong, who single-handedly planned the assassination, was even more panicked, for fear that the terrible Jinyi Wei would find out about his head, but as a hundred horsemen on the same level as Jinyi Wei, he also had his own unique skill, that is, the disguise technique, and several times he escaped the search with his superb disguise technique."
I can't stay on Ceylon Island for a long time, I have to leave here and return to the Tang ......."
Tang Mingsong thought so for a reason, because Jinyiwei began to comprehensively investigate suspicious people, as long as there was the slightest mistake, they were arrested and interrogated, and several secret spies stationed in Ceylon by Baiqi were dug up by them.Tang Mingsong said just do it, he disguised himself as a jeweler who was about to return to Datang, and was about to board a merchant ship that was about to sail for Guangzhou, just when he was being inspected, a customs policeman suddenly said, "Come with us..... don't dare to show your true face...""
This police officer, I don't understand what you say......"
Tang Mingsong's psychological quality is not bad, he has an innocent expression on his face, "I am a merchant from Guangzhou, I want to go back to Lingnan ......"
"Okay, you don't have to perform, your face is not your true face....."
The policeman smiled slightly, "Don't want to run away, this is not Datang, you can't run away......"
Tang Mingsong suddenly took out a short sword from his sleeve and stabbed at the customs policeman, but what he didn't expect was that before he could stab the other party, the handcuffs in the hands of the two brocade guards fired at him, and the two buckshots accurately hit his two arms, and his hidden blade fell to the ground with a "dang long".A brocade guard stepped forward, "snapped" twice, and slapped the poison sac out of Tang Mingsong's mouth, and then he took off the human skin mask on Tang Mingsong's face, "Tang Mingsong, where to go!!
”I heard a Jinyi guard officer yelling, Tang Mingsong was completely desperate at this moment, go, he couldn't go; Die, can't die; Tang Mingsong lowered his head, "Hey, Your Majesty, the minister has failed your expectations......"
He remembered that before leaving, Li Zhi personally explained his task, and he was immediately remorseful, and he was speechless to face Li Zhi, who had high hopes for himself.
