Tang Jian closed his mouth knowingly.
Although in name only, Xu Fenglei is now just a sixth-grade Honglu Temple Prime Minister, a minion under his command.
But if he really treats Xu Fenglei as a minion, then he doesn't know how to write the word "death"!
Moreover, at this moment, Xu Fenglei calls him 'Tang Honglu' instead of Fatty Tang. This means that this man is serious and is serious about it!
How dare he persuade me?
If you continue to persuade me, you will definitely get no good results!
Therefore, without any hesitation, Tang Jian obediently stepped aside to give Mr. Xu room to perform.
"It seems that your bones are quite strong."
Xu Fenglei ignored Tang Jian and looked at Inugami Mita and Yao Shi Huiri, who were holding their necks, and said calmly,
"I just don't know which one is harder than the steel knife used to remove bones."
"If you do something wrong and refuse to accept the punishment obediently, then I can only teach you a lesson on behalf of your Japanese king."
"come!"
Swish!
The four Yi guards drew their swords, took a step forward, and put their weapons directly on their necks!
The sword was slightly cold, making the two "hard-boned" figures tremble slightly.
"Kneel down!"
The four Yi guards shouted orders in unison, and the loud voices echoed in the courtyard, making their feet weak.
Xu Fenglei narrowed his eyes, showing contempt.
"It seems that your bones are not that hard, at least not as hard as my Datang sword."
He tilted his head and sneered.
How could Inugami Mita Shu and Yao Shi Eri stand up to such verbal sarcasm? Their faces were all red and their fists were clenched.
But the head is lowered.
Because that bone-chilling steel knife has been pressed down!
And right now.
Plop!
There was a crisp sound, and a person was seen kneeling down, but it was not the two envoys, but Qianhe Haogong!
The Japanese princess knelt down!
"Princess!"
"Princess, no!"
Inugami Mitaru and Pharmacist Megumi's eyes widened, and they stretched out their hands excitedly, trying to help their princess, but the swords around their necks were held tightly, preventing them from moving.
"Xu Jun, the two envoys have offended you. According to your request, I should kneel down and apologize to you."
Haogong Qianhe knelt on the ground, looked up at Xu Fenglei, and said calmly,
"But after all, they are our country's envoys and represent my father. The emperor's dignity cannot be tarnished, so please forgive their rudeness."
"This kneeling will be done by Qianhe. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her raised head, looking remorseful.
"Princess, princess!"
"How can you kneel down on our behalf? Get up quickly, we will kneel down and apologize, just kneel down and apologize!"
Inugami Mita Saki and Yao Shi Eri struggled and roared, their eyes red.
However, Haomiya Qianhe ignored them and remained kneeling on the ground, motionless.
"Father? Emperor? Ha...that's interesting. Can the king of Japan also be called the emperor?"
Xu Fenglei looked down at him, smiled, raised his hand and said,
"Okay, since it is the princess who begged for mercy, I will forgive their sins, get up."
"It's just that I hope you remember that the dignity of the Tang Dynasty is more inviolable. No matter who you are, you will never be allowed to insult or abuse the ministers of the Celestial Dynasty. Otherwise, only knives and swords will be waiting for him."
"I'm teaching you a lesson today for your own good, so that you can remember better and don't make such mistakes again. I'm famous for my good temper. If you change into a Tang Dynasty with a bad temper, I might chop you all into pieces. .”
Tang Jian's face darkened.
Good guy, after being suppressed for a long time, he still said that he has a good temper. Is it for their own good?
Uncle, if you had a good temper, there would be no bad people in the entire Tang Dynasty!
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
Haomiya Qianhe barely smiled and thanked,
"If it hadn't been for Mr. Xu's guidance, the two envoys would have suffered greatly."
"You two, please thank Xu Jun quickly!"
After the sword left their bodies, Inugami Mita and Yao Shi Hui reluctantly stepped forward, cupped their hands and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
I was thanking him, but in my heart I had probably scolded all the eighteen generations of Xu Fenglei's ancestors!
"You're welcome, I won't argue with you two little Baga."
Xu Fenglei waved his hand very generously.
Two people: "!!!"
It’s hard, the fist is hard again!
I have never suffered such grievances in my whole life!
"Okay, okay, that's right. Turn conflicts into friendship and friendship. Turn conflicts into friendship and friendship."
Tang Jian hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said,
"The food and drinks are ready. Princess Qianhe and the two envoys, please come and take a seat."
If he is really afraid of causing trouble again, then the Minister of Honglu Temple really doesn’t have to do this!
"Thank you Tang Jian Gong."
Haogong Qianhe cupped his hands and led the two of them into the back room.
"Xu Gong, please invite me too."
Tang Jian looked at Xu Fenglei again and said helplessly,
"I really don't know why you are so angry. This Japanese envoy probably didn't recruit you either..."
To be honest, he really doesn't understand.
In my impression, Xu Fenglei was quite easy to talk to. Even when he was the general of Zhengbei, he was quite gentle. He basically didn't do anything violent and everyone was talking and laughing.
Why was the Japanese envoy so angry and aggressive when he met him?
"Didn't you recruit me? He already called me Baga, but he still said he didn't recruit me? I think you are also a bastard."
Xu Fenglei snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back and said,
"Also, when you invite people to your table, you should follow the order of honor and inferiority. You should invite me first, and then invite them. I don't understand any rules, and I am the Minister of Honglu Temple..."
After saying these words, he stepped into the house, leaving Tang Jian alone in the wind.
"Damn..."
He stamped his feet and couldn't help shouting,
"I am not the minister of Honglu Temple. I am my mother's grandson and will serve you!"
…
During the dinner, hot meals were served on the table.
The attendants also poured wine for everyone thoughtfully.
"Delicious, so delicious..."
"What kind of meat is this? It's so fragrant, so tender..."
Initially, the faces of the two envoys were still a little stiff, but when they saw the rich dishes and smelled the tempting fragrance, their eyes straightened.
Pharmacist Hui Ri took a piece of mutton steak into his mouth and gave it a big mouthful of rice, with a look of great enjoyment on his face.
Just looking at his expression, it would be an understatement to say that he was extremely happy!
"Ha, this is mutton. It is brought down from the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. The chefs cook it carefully to make it taste so delicious."
Tang Jian threw a piece of mutton into his mouth, chewed it twice, and introduced with a smile,
"Can the two envoys get used to it?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" The two chewed the delicious food and nodded repeatedly.
Haogong Qianhe also picked up a piece of mutton and sniffed it gently with his nose before putting it into his mouth and chewing it carefully.
The next second, she took a mouthful of rice and closed her eyes.
This kind of taste was something she had never enjoyed in Japan for more than ten years.
Even the rice was so sweet that she couldn't help but want to use her tongue to slurp, grind and suck the sweet taste from the rice grains.
Just as the three of them were enjoying themselves, a voice came unexpectedly.
"Why can't they get used to it? On that barren island country, what they eat every day is either radishes or pickles, and they have to get some fish to eat."
Xu Fenglei picked up a chopstick and threw the dish into his mouth, and said casually,
"It's a supreme pleasure to have white rice to eat, let alone mutton? I'm afraid I've never tasted such delicacies in my life."
As soon as these words came out, the three Japanese people's expressions froze and they stopped enjoying.
But this time, the faces of Inugami Mita and Yakushi Eri did not show anger, but showed a bit of embarrassment and shame.
"We lost our composure."
They put down their chopsticks, swallowed the food in their mouths, put their hands on their legs, lowered their heads and said.
Tang Jian raised his eyebrows and said repeatedly:
"Nothing out of character, nothing out of character, as long as it suits your taste."
To be honest, compared to that group of Zihu people, the Japanese envoys are very good-looking and very restrained.
However, there was Mr. Xu next to him, who liked to mock others, which made his diplomatic work really difficult.
"The delicacies of the Tang Dynasty are indeed delicious, far beyond the comparison of our Japanese food."
Haogong Qianhe also swallowed the meat slices and looked at Xu Fenglei without any annoyance. Instead, he smiled lightly and said,
"As Xu Jun said, Japan is barren and has few products. It cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty."
"From what Xu Jun said, you seem to know Japan very well. Not only are you proficient in the Japanese language, but you also understand our customs?"
Xu Fenglei smiled and waved his hand.
"I can't say I'm proficient in your language. I only know a few words."
He gestured twice with his hands and said,
"Except for Baga, I only know how to buy CDs, move warehouses, and so on. I don't know much about other things."
Haomiya Qianhe's smiling face suddenly stiffened.
Inugami Mita and Yao Shi Hui also had dark faces, but they had just suffered a loss, so they naturally did not dare to attack at this moment, and could only stare at Xu Fenglei.
"Xu Jun is really good at joking..."
Chizuru Hiromiya forced a smile and changed the subject,
"It can be seen that Xu Jun is quite interested in Japan. You are the first Tang Dynasty person I met in the Tang Dynasty to understand Japan. If you have the opportunity, I really want to invite you to visit Japan and appreciate our country. I think you will be able to feel the simplicity of Japanese people by then."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"Okay, okay, I really want it."
He continued,
"I heard that the women in your area carry pillows behind their backs. They say it is to make it easier for them to have sex and give birth to babies. They can do it anytime, anywhere, whenever they want...is that right?"
Haomiya Chizuru's smile faltered again, her teeth slightly clenched.
She's a little angry!
No matter how well-mannered she is, she can't stand Xu Fenglei's humiliation and ridicule over and over again!
"...Xu Jun didn't know where he heard the rumor. It's really..."
She calmed her breathing slightly and said in a calm tone,
"Somewhat ridiculous."
"As a Japanese princess, I have some knowledge, but I have never heard that the kimono has such an origin. I also ask Xu Jun not to believe these insulting rumors."
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"Insulting? No... I think it's quite normal."
He looked serious and said seriously,
"The sage said that food and sex are human nature. Eating and making babies are both human nature and the right path. There is nothing to avoid."
"The population of your island country has always been sparse. The kimono is designed to facilitate the birth of children and is conducive to the reproduction of the ethnic group. This is a good thing! It is not a bad thing. What is there to be ashamed of?"
"Not to mention you, we all still wore crotchless pants during the Qin and Han Dynasties in the Central Plains. One of the purposes of one of them was to facilitate sexual activities and facilitate reproduction!"
"From this point of view, you are almost the same as us."
Haogong Qianhe was slightly startled.
She didn't expect that the other party would talk to her so seriously and even give examples from the Qin and Han Dynasties...
Could it be that this is really not an insulting mockery but a serious exchange and discussion?
Haomiya Qianhe was a little confused...
"I see."
She showed a hint of apology, cupped her hands and said,
"Qianhe misunderstood. Xu Jun is right. Reproduction is the group's plan. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Thank you Xujun for your advice."
Xu Fenglei nodded with satisfaction.
"That's it! I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."
He smiled and said,
"By the way, Princess Qianhe, have you brought your kimono to Datang? Can you show me how to wear it?"
Haogong Qianzhe was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly turned red.
If Xu Fenglei had made this request normally, she wouldn't have thought anything of it.
But they had just discussed the relationship between 'kimono' and 'eros' and 'reproduction'. If she came out wearing a kimono and carrying a pillow, wouldn't it be...
Thinking of this, her fingernails began to scratch her palms.
"Oh...it's time to eat. Don't embarrass Princess Qianhe."
Tang Jian patted his head twice and said helplessly,
"In the diplomacy between the two countries, don't talk about whether these things exist or not. You can discuss them privately when the time comes."
"Let's get back on track and discuss business, okay?"
He is really convinced by Xu Fenglei!
I don’t know where this topic has gone! For you to discuss sex and reproduction at a dignified diplomatic banquet is simply...
That's outrageous!
"oh."
Xu Fenglei took a mouthful of rice, winked at Haogong Qianhe, and said with a smile,
"Then, Princess Qianhe, let's discuss it in private at that time."
"You will look beautiful in your kimono. I'm looking forward to it."
Haogong Qianhe twitched the corners of his lips: "...I will definitely do it if I have the chance."
The eyes of Inugami Mita Shu and Yao Shi Hui Ri widened even further. They looked like they wanted to eat Xu Fenglei alive.
"cough!"
Tang Jian coughed dryly and said to Haogong Qianhe,
"Princess Qianhe, during your visit to the Tang Dynasty, did you bring your credentials?"
Haogong Qianhe's expression recovered instantly and she smiled at Tang Jian.
"Of course I brought my credentials, Mr. Tang Jian."
She said,
"It was written by my father himself. He has great respect for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He wishes he could spread his wings and come over to meet His Majesty."
"Inugami-kun."
Inugami Mitsuda responded, took out a beautiful box from his carry-on package, and handed it to Hiromiya Chizuru.
"Do you want Mr. Tang Jian to take a look first, or hand it over directly to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty?"
Haogong Qianhe smiled.
"Since it is a letter of credence, it should be signed by His Majesty himself."
Tang Jian received the box and responded,
"I will forward it to His Majesty as soon as possible."
In fact, when the credential was handed over, it must have been read by Fang Xuanling and others from Zhongshu Province first, and then handed over to Li Shimin for viewing.
But to the outside world, it must be said that His Majesty personally approved it. This will show more respect for the other party.
"Then thank you Mr. Tang Jian."
Haomiya Qianhe smiled brightly and looked very happy.
However, just when Tang Jian took the box and was about to close it, a hand stretched out.
"Wait, let me take a look first."
