Confucius said: If a friend comes from afar, it is not easy to explain.
Today, Qiyu warmly welcomed the foreign guests from afar with the unique Chinese hospitality.
Coming from afar?
Indeed.
Andre the Franconian, he worked tirelessly to cross the ocean, hurriedly set out from the distant colony of India, and then traveled day and night to get here. Isn't this far enough?
However, for this Huaxia expert, the sentence in "Confucius said" is not very pleasing to the ears, and even sounds a bit jarring.
'Coming from afar' is true, but the word 'said' is a bit nonsense, because neither party was happy about this meeting. (Note: Tongyue means pleasure.)
Not only unhappy, but very unhappy.
It can be said that going through this journey is just a matter of spending money to buy the pain.
well……
They were all harmed by that good-for-nothing Clark, otherwise how could it be so hard? It's really weird, why do you guys always get caught?
Clark: Why am I so depressed? Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Tough luck! Tough luck!
You can imagine how depressed and aggrieved Andre was at this time.
depressed? Frustrated?
It doesn't matter, let me, Master Qi, roar out your voice and sing your heartfelt voice, as if you are a hard-to-find soulmate.
"I spent half a year's savings for you and traveled across the ocean to see you..."
"Hold back your tears..."
As everyone knows, Qi Dalang at this time is not only considerate, but also able to predict the future.
oh? how do I say this?
Let’s listen to the breakdown:
In fact, in order to ensure that Clark could be redeemed, Andre specially prepared a large ransom. When he couldn't sleep at night, he silently calculated it. It was no more and no less. It was exactly half a year's savings, and this huge sum of money , and it was indeed brought across the ocean.
After the song was finished, both parties began to take their seats.
Accompanying me on the Qiongzhou side are: Tan Junyan, Fu Xian, and Sun Bao, who came over to collect information for writing local chronicles. Oh no, his name is Sun Yuegong.
Andre, who was sitting at the lower end, looked around at the scene in front of him. His heart trembled as a familiar recipe and familiar smell came over him.
It’s hard to look back on the past, even if you don’t want to think about it!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit unharmonious, Qi Yu seemed to have accidentally made a casual conversation.
In the name of promoting exchanges between the two sides, he asked about the colonial situation in Tianzhu while chatting.
install
Although Andre was puzzled as to why the topic suddenly took him thousands of miles away, he still patiently began to explain, giving an overview of all the agriculture, business, taxation, etc. that interested him.
Suddenly!
He suddenly realized something and hurriedly changed his words and said: "Master Qi, let's talk about something else! I heard that Clark was invited as a guest by you again. I don't know if this is the case?"
"Indeed! This person's morals are extremely corrupt. He actually hid on the shore of the South China Sea and coveted my Luzon wealth. That's why I gave him a slight punishment and invited him to Qiongzhou to reflect on his mistakes and change his ways." Qi Yu took a sip of Longjing tea and said leisurely Said calmly.
"It's unfair for Mr. Qi to say this!" Andre also took a sip of the bitter gardenia tea, and then said with a smack.
"Oh? Why did Mr. An say that?" Qi Yu put down the teacup in his hand and asked calmly.
"At the time of the incident, the French army was stationed in Sarawak and had never set foot in Luzon. It is nonsense to say that we coveted it. Also, what happened to the two of us in Sarawak? Why did you take the initiative to launch an attack without any negotiation? Isn't it obvious enough what is right and what is wrong? "Andre said seemingly confidently.
oh? Reason with me?
Can!
Qi Yu stroked his beard and smiled, and said calmly: "We in China have a wise saying, how can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? At the moment, Luzon has been under the jurisdiction of our Qiongzhou, but you are laying heavy cloth in Sarawak, which is adjacent to it. Army, how do you, Franji, explain this matter? As a shepherd in Qiongzhou, Qi is responsible for resolving hidden dangers around his jurisdiction. It is also the reason, and it is even more righteous."
"It's nonsense, strong words!" Andre raised his angry head and said with his nostrils pointing to the sky.
"Reason? Haha, today I will discuss this with you! Let me ask you, what is the rationale for your occupation of Tuen Mun, our country? What is the rationale for your occupation of Dawan, our country? You covet the mineral deposits in Luzon under my rule , and what’s his point?”
Sudden!
Snap!
When Qi Yu got to the point where he was moved, he couldn't help but raise his hand to slap the case, his face filled with anger.
Suddenly, a "strong official" momentum burst out.
This Andre did have some courage. Although he was a little stunned by Qi Yu, he showed no fear at all. Instead, he puffed up his chest and argued: "Master Qi, what you said is too stupid, no matter what. I only ask you , aren’t you afraid of attracting the wrath and revenge of our great empire if you brazenly attack our country’s genuine army like this?”
drink!
In the blink of an eye, you are unreasonable again
!
It becomes quite fast!
Qi Yu smiled coldly and said solemnly: "Haha, in front of me, the great Huaxia, you little Frankie dare to pretend to be a big empire? Huh! It's just a tiny place, so what do I, Qi Yu, have to fear? What? Tell me that you don’t like to be obedient, I really want to experience the anger of your country and see if it is as terrifying as the rumors!"
"You! You! You are uttering arrogant words!"
"Oh, is it so?"
After saying that, Qi Yu grimaced and suddenly pulled out the musket from his waist.
Then there was a 'bang'!
However, a follower beside Andre fell down in response.
this……
Everything was quiet, and there was no sound.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
However, Qi Dalang acted as if nothing was wrong, and blew away the remaining smoke from the barrel of the gun with a nonchalant expression, and said: "Your Excellency, which one do you think is more terrifying, the anger of your minister or the anger of this old man?"
sweat!
Sweat profusely!
Oops, how could I have forgotten this person’s nature?
This guy is the kind of person who will draw a gun and shoot angrily when he is unhappy. He remembers that he suffered a loss in this regard during the last negotiation. Unexpectedly, he has been taught another lesson now.
This time, we must learn from the mistakes and gain wisdom, and we must not be careless again.
Andre looked at the corpse of his companion who was dragged out with a horrified look on his face. He kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. How could he look arrogant at all?
I'm really scared now.
"Master Qi, according to you Chinese people, we are all well-educated and reasonable people. How can we easily misfire? Wouldn't this hurt each other's harmony?"
"Amicable?"
"Yes, don't you Chinese people often say that peace is the most important thing? If we only compete in anger and do not talk about benevolence and justice, wouldn't it be a serious violation of your saintly ways?" Andre said with a kind face and serious words. Shen Changdao.
"Well, that makes sense!" Qi Yu nodded happily and said, "I really didn't realize that Mr. An actually understands our Chinese culture so well. Anyway, since you suggest that peace is the most important thing, let's abandon our grudges. Instead, we need to negotiate calmly and amicably.”
Andre was overjoyed when he heard this and praised: "Master Qi distinguishes between public and private affairs and is open-minded, which is really admirable."
"Mr. An is overly complimentary."
"Master Qi is too modest."
After the business exchange, Qi Yu took the initiative to bring the topic to today's topic.
——What to do with the captured Mr. Clark.
