Chapter 1571: Duel Ivan, the envoy of the Rus' country, is now very calm.
This is natural, Zhu Houzhao's impulsive move is tantamount to giving them a big gift, and now that the initiative is in the hands of Ivan, naturally there is no need to worry, he even can't help but be a little complacent because he thinks that he is going to achieve their goal.
However, for Ye Chunqiu's sudden visit, Ivan obviously still felt a little strange, and with a little surprise, he personally went out of Honglu Temple to greet this adult.
He was accompanied by an interpreter, who was apparently a Mongol who also spoke Chinese and was able to communicate with Ivan.
Although it was not the first time Ivan had seen Ye Chunqiu, it was the first time he had seriously looked at this young man named Zhenguo Gong.
In a sense, Ivan was quite curious about this arguably the greatest powerful minister of the Eastern Dynasty, because in the Rus' kingdom, this Grand Duke was much more famous than their emperor and was the object of admiration by many merchants.
On the contrary, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is much more inconspicuous.
But what's interesting is that this crown prince is behind Ye Chunqiu, like a heel, because he always can't help but look at Ye Chunqiu, as if he needs to get courage from Ye Chunqiu's body.
This is obviously a kind of child's general dependence on their parents, no, they are not father and son, then if this Grand Duke is in Western terms, he should be the godfather of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After a few words of greeting, then they entered the Honglu Temple, everyone sat down separately, although Zhu Zaiyao was still just a child, but his identity was here, so he naturally sat in the first place, and Ye Chunqiu and Ivan sat down on the left and right.
Through the translation, Ivan said in a crepe manner: "I heard that you have a saying, which is called "Nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace", I don't know why Zhenguo Gong is here."
Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips, and then said simply and loudly: "Duel." ” This translation was a little surprised, but it still quickly conveyed Ye Chunqiu's meaning to Ivan.
When Ivan listened to the interpreter's words, he was also slightly stunned.
He frowned and asked who was going to duel.
Ye Chunqiu's answer was: "It's exactly below." ” The interpreter looked incredulous, thinking that he had misheard, and only after repeated confirmation did he convey the meaning to Ivan.
Zhu Zaiyao, who was sitting on the side, was also taken aback, he finally understood what his father meant by saying those words to himself from the palace.
I'm afraid that from the very beginning, Ye Chunqiu has already made up his mind, otherwise how could there be a scholar who is shameless and ashamed of the country This is clearly scolding all civil and military officials, thinking that they are not responsible, and when they are promoted and rich, everyone scrambles to be the first, and when they are faced with responsibility, they suddenly become old and sophisticated.
Zhu Zaiyao opened his mouth to say no, but it can be seen that Ye Chunqiu's face was calm and calm, with a little anger, and he finally swallowed this sentence back.
Many times, Zhu Zaiyao is quietly imitating Ye Chunqiu, because Ye Chunqiu has projected a lot of shocks in his little heart, and today's words and deeds of Yafu made him both a little scared and a little excited.
Ivan's face was even more exciting, first the emperor of the Ming Dynasty made a mistake, and in the blink of an eye, this town prince actually made a mistake Ivan couldn't help but think that not long ago, the head of the Ming cabinet found him and hoped to reconcile privately, which made Ivan despise these civil and military officials in the depths of his heart.
It's just that now, Ye Chunqiu actually wants to duel, is this an act of loyalty to their emperor Ivan couldn't help but think about it, in his opinion, most Orientals were very cunning, let alone the Zhenguo Gong who had been admired by those cunning merchants.
Ye Chunqiu's move did not make Ivan derive the slightest admiration, and even couldn't help but suspect in his heart, this time it may be just a bluff, while reconciling in private, while challenging with great fanfare, it is just that this Zhenguo Duke wants to invite favor in front of their emperor.
Ivan calmed down for a moment before he said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has made a fight contract with us, and now our wrestlers need to rest and recuperate, so I'm afraid I can't agree to your request, I'm really sorry." ” After listening to the translation, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help frowning, but he was not depressed, but said: "If you agree to fight with me, and you win, you can get six thousand guns, three hundred artillery, and five hundred thousand taels of silver." ” This gambling contract is almost twice as much as the amount that Ivan and others extort from the court.
When Ivan heard this, he was slightly stunned, obviously a little moved, but he had always been cautious, and now he could be rewarded plainly, so why bother to make extraneous branches Ivan said: "I'm afraid we still need to think about this matter."
What's more, if Zhen Guogong wants to understand, you have a saying that fists and feet have no eyes, and if Zhen Guogong is the same as that Guangfenghou, it is no wonder that others.
In two days, the gambling battle with His Majesty will begin, and Ye Chunqiu will have to wait And there is a threat implied in these words, probably to say, you Ye Chunqiu will not be the opponent of Hercules, once you lose, then Hercules will not leave half a point of affection, and at that time, you will either die or be injured.
The interpreter conveyed the words, Zhu Zaiyao was already frowning deeply, with worry on his face, and the little guy had already begun to worry.
Ye Chunqiu was already standing up, but he just smiled and said: "The sword has no eyes, everything can be written in advance, if I die, it is naturally no wonder that others are lain, but I have a small request I not only want to challenge the strong men of your country, but also challenge all the attachés of your country, I heard that you brought more than 30 people, of which more than 20 are wrestlers, this is great, let them go together, what are the skills of the wrestlers of the Rus country, although they are all used, I also have a word in advance, if you lose, Don't blame me for hurting you.
Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky, to fight, tomorrow will begin, then, I will be waiting in the Temple of Literature. ” Ivan's face changed in an instant.
The previous sentence was fine, but the latter sentence was not like words, the tone of this town Guogong was so arrogant that he actually wanted to challenge all their wrestlers to know that it was a strong man, which was enough to run rampant in the entire Ming Dynasty, not to mention more than twenty This is no longer as simple as a challenge, it is clearly a provocation, and the Rus' country advocates force, and no wrestler can tolerate such humiliation.
But Ye Chunqiu was completely lightweight, and finally said to Ivan leisurely: "Tomorrow's appointment, I hope that your envoy and Zhu Lishi will arrive as soon as possible, and Spring and Autumn will wait for you and say goodbye first." ” aa2705221:
