Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 142 The enthusiastic King of North Korea! The chicken thief Shen Weijing!

In the 20th year of Wanli, it was the third day of August.

Dandong, beside the Yalu River.

"For God's sake! Why are you taking a boat again!"

Shen Weijing's old face was full of collapse. He was nearly sixty years old and had fainted for most of the boat. Now he felt like vomiting when he saw the boat.

But there was no other way. In order to reach North Korea as soon as possible, the five-member group started to take the waterway from Yongping Prefecture. After crossing the Bohai Sea to Fuzhou Wei, they changed into horses and rushed to Dandong.

Faced with Shen Weijing's despair, Luo Sigong, the highest official among the five, said impatiently:
"If you don't want to take a boat, just swim there by yourself! It's only two miles away anyway!"

Shen Weijing, who was 'yelled', could only say something with a grimace. He had no choice but to do so. Although he was the most important 'chief messenger' in the envoy group, but now that he had not made any achievements yet, he could 'only' be Just a 'nominal' messenger.

Luo Sigong was the commander of the Jinyi Guards. He was the only 'real' official among the five who received the emperor's salary, and his official position was quite high. Even if Shen Weijing had any objections, he could only suppress them.

"The boats are coming." Zhang Jianxiu looked at the two boats coming from the other side of the river and said in advance: "We have agreed in advance that I will go with my nephew in a boat and the three of you will go in a boat."

Meanwhile, on another boat.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Qin Liangyu can't help but feel hairy all over...

on board.

"Not really." Zhang Chonghui thought for a moment and then said, "But it's still true."

"Eh...can you please stop being so disgusting?" Zhang Jianxiu seemed to be disgusted by Luo Sigong's helplessness, and took several steps back with a look of disdain on his face.

After all, in the past few days, every time Luo Sigong tried to show his "official authority", he would always be scolded as a "grandson" by Zhang Jianxiu in a few words.

Seeing that the boat coming from the opposite side was almost reaching the shore, Luo Sigong and Zhang Jianxiu were still fighting hard to separate each other. Shen Weijing, who still wanted to continue watching the fun, had no choice but to come out and persuade him:

For a while, the two of them started fighting again...

As for Luo Sigong, there is no need to look at it. Besides His Majesty the Emperor, who else has this right to be able to use him as the commanding officer of the royal guards?
As for Shen Weijing... Zhang Chonghui didn't know who he was entrusted with and was also watching him. In short, this person was definitely not a kind person and his purpose was not pure.

But Zhang Chonghui knew that Qin Liangyu also had his own 'secret'.

I thought it was a ship sent by North Korea to pick them up, and there should be North Korean envoys on the ship to greet them. However, after asking, I found out that the boatmen on the ship were actually from the Ming Dynasty.

In response, Zhang Chonghui just replied calmly: "Because they thought the boatman would be a Korean and could not understand Chinese at first."

Looking around, Zhang Chonghui was a little bit dumbfounded. Among the four people around him, there was only one Qin Liangyu who had no 'special purpose'.

……

However, facing Luo Sigong's threat, Zhang Jianxiu not only showed no fear of the other party, but was also very bold. He pointed at the other party's nose and cursed mercilessly:

"Give you face? I'll give you a damn punch!" Zhang Jianxiu said, and suddenly raised his fist and punched Luo Sigong in the face!
"Hiss... hit me again?" Luo Sigong looked really angry, and even raised his fist and fought back!

Shen Weijing was also watching the excitement and did not mind interjecting: "I want to go on a boat with little brother Chonghui. We are going to North Korea soon. I have to discuss the next plan with him."

Cursing and cursing, the two would always start fighting for no apparent reason.

None of the three people understood why Luo Sigong was so 'cowardly' towards Zhang Jianxiu, but they all had their own 'opinions', so for a while, no one stepped forward to break up the fight.

"I'm disgusting? Why am I disgusted?" Luo Sigong was also unhappy, and said angrily like a frustrated daughter-in-law: "Zhang Sizhe, I have given you a lot of face, I hope you can give me some face too!"

"Why did they rush to be in the same boat with you at the beginning? But then they stopped trying in the end?" Qin Liangyu asked with confusion.

After asking again, I found out that it was Song Yingchang, who was currently in charge of North Korea, who had given the order not to let any North Koreans cross the river, in order to prevent a large number of North Korean refugees from taking the opportunity to flee to Liaodong.

"By the way, don't you think that boy named Qin is very strange?" Zhang Jianxiu asked the two people beside him.

Zhang Chonghui originally thought that Zhang Jianxiu, his fourth uncle, should not be spying on him, but then he thought about it and found out that Zhang Jianxiu was the one who was watching him the most closely.

The three people on the other boat were all staring at this side, staring at Zhang Chonghui next to her!
Feeling frightened, Qin Liangyu quietly whispered to Zhang Chonghui beside him: "They... seem to be watching you..."

The fighting finally stopped.

Qin Liangyu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to express some opinions, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he only whispered: "I can do it."

"I don't care, anyway, I'm on the same boat with my nephew!" Zhang Jianxiu was still determined on the matter. After all, he had no chance to 'discuss' anything privately with his nephew for several days in a row.

"No." Luo Sigong said with an attitude of 'I am the one who makes the decision': "Zhang Chonghui and I are in the same boat, and the three of you are in the same boat."

"Luo Gongbao, what the hell are you trying to do with your official authority? You still have the final say? Who the hell are you?"

"The ship is coming! Stop fighting! Let the Koreans see the joke!"

Because Zhang Jianxiu still doesn't know what his eldest nephew's 'real purpose' is for him to follow him to North Korea.

After arguing for a long time, the person who was finally in the same boat as Zhang Chonghui was Qin Liangyu who did not express his opinion.

Shen Weijing, who was seasick, turned a blind eye and did not forget to echo: "I think brother Qin is quite nice except that he talks a little. Not only is he tall and handsome, but he is also very strong. big."

Qin Liangyu seemed to understand something, and then looked at the three people on another boat not far away.

The three people on the side seemed to be used to the 'strange' scene where Zhang Jianxiu and Luo Sigong started fighting after a disagreement.

When Zhang Jianxiu pointed at his nose and cursed like this, Luo Sigong's "official authority" that was still arrogant and awe-inspiring actually seemed to be "withered" by the other party. He actually lowered his voice and said helplessly: "Can you stop being so rude? "

……

"Zhang Sizhe, I have the final say here. Don't think that I will still spoil you!" Luo Sigong warned Zhang Jianxiu. He would not forget about 'official business' just because of a personal relationship.

In other words, it is not that North Korea does not want to cross the river to pick up the envoys from China, but that China does not allow them to come over to pick up the envoys...

Luo Sigong didn't answer, he just stared at Zhang Chonghui's figure on the other boat, as if he wanted to burn him with his eyes!
"Hey, Luo Gongbao, don't you think the guy named Qin is weird?" Zhang Jianxiu patted Luo Sigong, as if the previous fight had never happened.

"I don't think so." Luo Sigong responded casually.

Zhang Jianxiu felt even more strange after receiving such two perfunctory 'answers'. He once again looked at Qin Liangyu, who was talking to his eldest nephew on the other boat.

The more I look at this...the more awkward I feel...

"I always feel..." Zhang Jianxiu frowned. After all, he finally expressed his doubts all the way:

"I always feel like...he doesn't look like a man."

As soon as he said this, Luo Sigong finally took his eyes away from Zhang Chonghui. He looked at Zhang Jianxiu as if he had seen a ghost and asked in shock:
"Zhang Sizhe, are you crazy about women?"

"Damn you!" Zhang Jianxiu slapped Luo Sigong on the back of the head and cursed, "Where are you thinking? I'm not a pervert like you!"

"Zhang Sizhe, I think you are the pervert!" Luo Sigong rubbed the back of his head in pain and said directly: "That boy named Qin is stronger than me! He is taller than me! You say he doesn't look like a man? Are you crazy about women? I see you are really hungry!"

"Your mother! I..." Zhang Jianxiu finally lowered his raised fist and said, "If I weren't afraid of capsizing, I would have to beat you again!"

At the same time, Shen Weijing, who originally wanted to say something, couldn't help but feel the nausea in his stomach, and lay down on the side of the boat and vomited.

……

The Yalu River is not too long. Looking from a distance, you can even see the North Korean officials on the other side of the river who are anxiously waiting for the 'Celestial Envoy'.

"I don't know if I can go back after I come out this time." Qin Liangyu looked at the other side and sighed, seeming to be worried about something. "Regret it?" Zhang Chonghui asked.

"It's not that I regret it." Qin Liangyu shook his head and smiled: "I'm just curious about what kind of result I will get after giving it a try."

"The past determines the present, and the present determines the future." Zhang Chonghui smiled calmly and said: "Be good at the present, and let the future decide the results."

"Yes." Qin Liangyu nodded, looking at the boy in front of her who was obviously the same age as her brother, but did not look like a teenager, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"Brother Zhang, why do I always have the illusion... that you seem to be very old?" Qin Liangyu, who was outspoken, finally couldn't help but ask this question.

"Ah?" Zhang Chonghui was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be stupid and pointed at his face and asked, "Do I look that old?"

"It's not about appearance." Qin Liangyu shook his head and said in confusion: "It's...how should I say..."

"We're here." Zhang Chonghui interrupted the other party.

In fact, they haven't arrived yet, but Zhang Chonghui's excellent eyesight has already spotted the Korean King Li Huo among the crowd on the riverside, wearing a red dragon robe and a black gauze winged crown.

……

The other side.

"The messenger from heaven has finally arrived!"

Li Hao seemed to have seen an 'angel' coming, and shouted excitedly to the minister Liu Chenglong on the side: "They are finally here! We are saved!"

Compared with the excitement and excitement of the king, the reaction of Liu Chenglong, who was the leader of North Korea at the time, was completely opposite.

Instead of being excited, Liu Chenglong frowned and looked at the two thin boats on the Yalu River, and even sighed:

"No way...why are there so many people? And who is the messenger? Could it be the eldest one? But his appearance seems too...and why did he vomit? It's insulting. Sven…”

Before Liu Chenglong had finished hating him, Li Huo interrupted: "According to my guess, it should be the man in the green Taoist robe. Look at the way he pushes up his sleeves. It seems that he has been an official in the Celestial Dynasty for many years. "

After Liu Chenglong heard this, he turned his eyes back to the young man in green shirt. After taking a good look, he said strangely:
"This person does seem to have the bearing of an official from the Celestial Empire, but...could he be a little too young?"

As the ship gradually came closer, Li Hao, who saw it more and more clearly, also frowned slightly, "Well... it is indeed a bit too young..."

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent.

Although Li Huo and Liu Chenglong didn't say any more, they both knew what the other wanted to say, but there were people around them, so it was hard to say it out loud.

Yes, both the monarch and the minister were thinking that the heavenly dynasty sent such a young envoy over, and it seemed like they were doing a perfunctory job.

Li Hao felt a little chilled, but no matter what, the visitor was also a specially sent messenger from the Celestial Empire. Even if the Celestial Empire was perfunctory, he could only greet him warmly with a smile.

……

The ship finally docked.

Surrounded by all the officials, Li Huo walked towards the five people who had just landed ashore with a smile on his face. Almost without hesitation, he stepped forward and took hold of the young man in green shirt who looked like he had been an official for many years. He bowed his hands and said in fluent Chinese:
"Messenger from Heaven! You are finally here!"

For a moment, all five people were stunned...

Looking at the enthusiastic King of Korea in front of him, Zhang Chonghui was inevitably a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and turned to introduce Shen Weijing, who was beside him and was a little embarrassed and weak due to seasickness:
"This is the diplomatic envoy of our Ming Dynasty."

"Ah..." Li Huo was also stunned for a moment.

But he is also the king of a country, so he can naturally handle this kind of oolong situation easily. Li Haodang took turns and shook the hands of all five people on the opposite side one by one.

……

The misunderstanding was covered up, and after some simple politeness, Li Huo left the matter to Liu Chenglong.

After all, Li Huo is also a king. Being able to lower his body and greet the envoy in person is already considered a face. He can't be allowed to hand over the war to the envoy in person.

On the other side, Shen Weijing had recovered from his seasickness. Although he didn't say anything on his face, he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

If Shen Weijing originally pretended to be honest because he had no official position, now he has nothing to pretend to be. After all, everyone has arrived in North Korea, on his territory where he can "showcase his grand plans"!

Shen Weijing firmly believes that it will be his time to shine!

As for the others? Those are just foils!
No! They can also be used as stepping stones when necessary!
……

Liu Chenglong was very direct. As soon as the king left, he asked Shen Weijing about his next plan.

You know, when messengers from heaven come from afar, you don’t just arrange good food and drink, but you also have to arrange a place for them to live, right?
The place to stay had not yet been arranged, so Liu Chenglong impatiently pulled Shen Weijing and asked when the Celestial Empire would send troops and so on.

As for Zhang Chonghui, who was the 'deputy envoy', he was ignored by Liu Chenglong. Liu Chenglong just wants to restore the country now. He just wants to talk to people he thinks are 'useful'!
Zhang Chonghui did not get involved in the conversation between the two. He just listened quietly and observed the surrounding environment.

"Mom, I'm so impressed. We came all the way, and this is how they receive guests? It's such a bastard that this place doesn't have any rules." Zhang Jianxiu couldn't help but complained in a low voice.

"Shh, stop talking, they can understand us!" Luo Sigong warned in a low voice.

"So what if you understand, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Jianxiu's voice became softer: "How can anyone receive guests like this?"

Compared to the two people who were whispering, Qin Liangyu said nothing. She glanced at Zhang Chonghui and saw that he was carefully observing the surrounding environment.

Feeling bored, Qin Liangyu also looked around, although he didn't know what to see on the bare riverside...

"So it will take more than two months for China to send troops!?"

Liu Chenglong, who has always spoken very good Chinese, was so anxious that his pronunciation was not standard. He had no choice but to do it. Shen Weijing's answer really shocked and chilled him.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Shen Weijing comforted: "Why are you panicking about the government? It's only two months!"

"Ambassador Shen!" Liu Chenglong was so anxious that he almost jumped up and said with suppressed excitement:

"The Japanese troops are burning, killing and looting everywhere inside and outside Pyongyang! They may come here at any time and kill us! How could I not be in a hurry!"

It’s not your country that will perish. You’re not in a hurry, are you?
Of course, Liu Chenglong didn't dare to say this.

Looking at Liu Chenglong who was jumping anxiously, Shen Weijing smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, as long as I take action, I guarantee that the Japanese slaves will not come over within two months!"

Faced with Shen Weijing's bullshit, Liu Chenglong remained silent. However, he was only silent on the surface, but his heart was already deafening.

"So, what are Ambassador Shen's preparations?" Liu Chenglong asked numbly, but he no longer had any expectations in his heart.

"Naturally, we should contact the Japanese slave chief first and then negotiate." Shen Weijing said matter-of-factly.

"Contact the Japanese slaves...negotiate..." Liu Chenglong no longer knew what to say, so he had to bite the bullet and said:
"How can I contact them to negotiate? Should I go directly to the outside of Pyongyang to shout? The Japanese army kills people without blinking an eye! Those people we sent to negotiate before have never come back!"

Liu Chenglong really didn't know how to contact Shen Weijing? How can we negotiate? After all, the Japanese army has now occupied Pyongyang City and has annexed their country!
If someone throws his fist at you, he can kill you immediately! What else is there to negotiate?

Are you trying to reason with me in front of your fist? I'm talking about your* bullshit!
Shen Weijing could hear the meaning of Liu Chenglong's words, and he still smiled calmly and said: "Don't worry, since your people can't contact the Japanese slaves, then let our people contact the Japanese slaves in person."

After saying that, Shen Weijing turned to look at Zhang Chonghui, who was silent at the side, and directly made arrangements:

"Deputy Envoy Zhang, the task of contacting the Japanese slave chief in Pyongyang City will be left to you."
