The world is indeed full of unknown dangers. In fact, what we do is extremely dangerous. We walk on thin ice every day, but we can't just be afraid and stop eating because of choking, right?
You said it was dangerous for Ling'er to go to sea. Ling'er has gone to sea more than once. Last time, a little girl went to Yizhou Island to pull out a team and arranged everything properly...
I am ashamed of myself for my ability like this, but can you two compare to me?
Of the things you sent Ling'er to do, which one of them didn't they handle for you properly?
But have you ever uncovered any traps?
You still have the nerve to talk about Ling'er, but Ling'er didn't even talk about you. Tell me how many reckless things your kid has done!
Now that you know you are angry with her, have you ever thought about how I was angry with you at that time?
Every time I scold you, you still say it with plausibility and a playful smile! You see, I just said a few words to you and you don’t like it, so how can you be happy if you talk about Ling’er all the time?
Okay, okay, let’s not talk about you, just talk about Linger. Do you think it’s dangerous for her to go to sea, but she’s safe at home? How many waves of assassins have come to our Governor's Mansion? Do you think so?
Those last time were particularly powerful, and Cui'er still had lingering fears when she told me about them...
All in all, all in all, this girl Ling'er looks carefree, but she is actually extremely attentive. People who know how to do things are better than a careless boy like you!
And little fat guy, don’t be happy. Since I’ve said this, I have to say something to you. It’s a shame that you are still a hero. How come you know how to indulge in personal affairs between men and women all day long?
Everyone has been young, and this old man can understand it, but you can't treat Chiba like a little bird locked in a cage all day long, right? Everyone is free...
Xiao Chen, you said this yourself... But it's outrageous for you, a chubby kid, to think about restricting other people's freedom. Do you think I have ever restricted the freedom of Sister Lin?
When Chiba wanted to go to Gao Juli, you cried and shouted and refused to let me go... Tell me how stingy a man you are?
You always say that Xiao Chen is spoiled by Ling'er, and you yourself are also spoiled by her. In other words, I, Ling'er, am obedient and sensible. If someone else who is ignorant becomes arrogant like this, it will be the responsibility of both of you!
You are too strict when you are in charge, and you have no bottom line when you are used to it. In the final analysis, you two are too protective and possessive...
I'm confused, you two guys are the most intelligent people in the world, why do you still make such a little fool of yourself?
Xiao Chen and Fatty failed to complain, but instead received a scolding from Chen Jisheng. They came out dejected and began to blame each other again. I told you earlier that the old man is the one who loves that little girl the most. Wouldn't it be scolding us if we complained to him?
But they all knew in their hearts that the old man was right. Xiao Chen was really too doting on Ling'er, and Fatty was too attached to Qianye.
Too much is not enough, and both brothers felt that they needed to reflect for a while. I ordered someone to bring some side dishes, and drank cold beer while criticizing and self-criticizing. Of course, I mainly criticized the other party...
When the criticism was in full swing, Yama came to report that someone from Japan was visiting.
The person who came was Shaoyan Mingguang. Because it was a secret visit, he was the only one who came. Not only did he not bring any followers, not even Naiko came.
It's quite interesting that this Shaoyan acts based on his reputation.
Xiao Chen welcomed him in and ordered a banquet, but Shaoyan Mingguang said there would be wine and food? Just bring me a wine glass and a pair of chopsticks. There is no need to pay attention to those false etiquette between us.
Xiao Chen didn't let the fat man shy away, and Shao Yanmingguang didn't shy away from the fat man either. He drank a few glasses of wine, ate a few bites of food, sighed, and went straight to the topic.
"Xiao Chenjun, I don't want to see things end up like this, but things are already like this, and I still have to clean up this mess. As a subject of Japan, I cannot disrespect the Emperor Shenzhao's order... even if I don't do it... Emperor Shenzhao, please do it for the common people of our two countries."
"Mr. Shaoyan, look at what you said, I am just a governor of Yanyun County..." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"People in the Ming Dynasty don't talk secretly... Then let's not talk about Zhou Dynasty, just Yanyun. Xiao Chenjun, if we request to restore the commercial relations between our two countries... Japan and Yanyun, wouldn't we be presumptuous?" Young Master Yan Mingguangdao.
"Mr. Shaoyan, I won't be presumptuous." Xiao Chen said, "I will also seriously consider it."
"That's great, General Kondo Guiichi and the others..." Shaoyan Mingguang frowned slightly and really didn't know how to word it.
"They are all very good. As long as you say a word, Mr. Shaoyan, I can send them all back at any time." Xiao Chen said.
"The death and injury of tens of thousands of soldiers in Yanyun, the destruction of hundreds of thousands of lives in Gaojuli, and the loss of hundreds of millions of gold and silver are all in your words, Mr. Shaoyan. Haha, Emperor Shenzhao of your country is indeed extremely resourceful. , It’s a perfect plan.” The fat man sneered at the side, with a sarcastic tone.
Since Xiao Chen is playing the bad side, of course he has to play the bad side.
"This is the third thing I want to say. Emperor Shenzhao is willing to give you some compensation, Xiao Chenjun..." Shaoyan Mingguang finally got to the point.
"No, no, no, I don't want any compensation!" Xiao Chen said slowly amidst the fat man's violent coughing, "But I always have to give an explanation to the wounded and wounded soldiers and the people affected by the war, but I also feel quite powerless. , if your country is willing to help, that would be great."
"This is what we should do, please give Xiao Chenjun a certain amount." Shaoyan Mingguang said.
"Haha, Mr. Shaoyan, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy back the lives of the fallen soldiers. I don't know what it's like in Japan, but the lives of my brothers, in my heart, each one is worth a fortune! "Xiao Chen said.
"Then I understand, eight million taels of silver should be okay, right?" Shaoyan Mingguang decided not to make any detours with Xiao Chen. There was really no way around him.
"Sigh... It seems that your country has developed so fast over the years that the people's livelihood is difficult and the treasury is tight. If this is the case, why do you want to start a war? Isn't it a waste of people and money? Since you don't have much money, then forget it Come on, drink and drink." Xiao Chen said.
"Ten million taels of silver, this is all I have spent." Shaoyan Mingguang gritted his teeth and spoke out another number.
"This wine isn't even cold anymore. So, go get a few more buckets of iced beer from the well. Once this beer is warm, it will be tasteless and taste like a bird in your mouth!" The fat man yelled outside.
"Fifteen million taels!" Shaoyan Mingguang stamped his feet and gritted his teeth.
"By the way, Mr. Shaoyan, you probably don't know yet, right? The coal mine we jointly developed has been occupied by the northern Xinjiang tribe, and it is still refusing to leave. I have sent people to negotiate several times, but there is no result... Those guys are unreasonable. If they get angry, I will send troops to fight them!" Xiao Chen said.
