Chapter 424 Teachers and Students

PS: The third update today, all kinds of requests~~~~~~~
The two came to the camp and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

There are five or six tents in this camp, several piles of bonfires are still burning, and the crackling sound of dry wood and fire is extremely loud in the night.

"Cang Hai, there seems to be no one here?" Di Qing looked around and said cautiously.

Suddenly, the two heard a whimpering sound coming from the tent.

Their hearts moved, and they hurriedly walked towards the tent.

Carefully opening the tent, Li Canghai immediately found five guards tied up in the tent.

The five guards stuffed their mouths with cloth strips, so they could only whine.

Li Canghai walked over and took out the cloth strip stuffed in several people's mouths. One of them hurriedly said, "Sir, get out of here quickly! There is an ambush!"

Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and there were more figures outside the tent.

Di Qingxiu frowned slightly, and pulled out the long sword with a clang.

Li Canghai untied a few people unhurriedly, then opened the tent, and led them out.

Outside the tent, more than a dozen people with sharp knives stared at Li Canghai.

Li Canghai glanced at the crowd, judging from the appearance of these people, they were indeed from Dongying.

The leader was a young man who was about the same age as Li Canghai. Beside the man stood a masked man. This man had gray temples, and he seemed to be quite old.

Li Canghai looked at the person in front of him, then rolled his eyes, and deliberately said in a blunt tone, "Who are you guys? If I speak slowly, you may understand?"

Di Qing was speechless for a while, she rolled her eyes, and said, "Cang Hai, are you stupid? You speak the Central Plains dialect, no matter how slow you speak, they can't understand it!"

"Oh, is that so? It seems that I am playing the piano to the cow!" Li Canghai pretended to be stunned.

Di Qing heard that Li Canghai was deliberately satirizing these Japanese people, she suddenly burst into giggles.

The faces of those Dongying people turned ugly, the young man at the head snorted lightly, and said: "I often hear that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, but I don't think it's so rude, it's really disappointing!"

Li Canghai couldn't help being stunned, because what the young man said turned out to be extremely authentic Central Plains dialect!
"My country, the Shang Dynasty, has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, but the way of etiquette depends on who it is for. If you are a polite person, you should treat each other with courtesy. If you are rude, you should treat each other with courtesy." That's another matter." Li Canghai said calmly.

The young man was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to have expected that Li Canghai would have such a good eloquence, he snorted, and continued: "I heard that Da Tang's etiquette is broken now, and seeing him today, it really is so. It seems that, It is God's will that this way of ritual and music was introduced to Dongpu!"

The corners of Li Canghai's mouth turned up, he sneered, and said flatly: "There are always some people in this world who are too self-righteous. After stealing some superficial lessons, they think they have got the essence and become arrogant. My country is a big country, and poetry Books have been handed down from generation to generation, and people have been educated with rituals and music. After thousands of years, how rich is the cultural background? Dongying is a small country, but after learning a little, it thinks that it has mastered the way of rituals and music. It is like a frog in a well, which is really ridiculous."

When everyone heard this, anger welled up on their faces, and they wanted to brandish their weapons to kill Li Canghai.

The young man's face was even more ugly. He waved his wide sleeves and said coldly: "Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is full of sharp-mouthed people like you?"

Li Canghai was not at all worried that he was in danger. He put his hands behind his back, exuding a strong self-confidence, and said with a slight smile, "No, it's not because I'm sharp-tongued, I'm just doing my best. It’s just the obligation of being a teacher. Dongying self-*** learns rituals, music, culture and other systems. As a teacher, I naturally have to do my best. Otherwise, if I study speciously, it will not only harm myself, but also damage my **** reputation. .However, it is really disappointing for people like you to see the teacher and not be polite. It really is 'summer worms can't speak ice'!"

The young man's face was flushed, he didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, he bit his lip, and said: "You are very courageous, aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"

Li Canghai smiled calmly, and said, "Since I've come here, how can I not know that there is a fraud in it? You all look back in the forest."

A group of Japanese people turned around, and suddenly found dozens of torches in the forest.

Those torches walked back and forth in the forest, and by the faint light of the fire, it seemed that many figures could be seen walking around. Roughly counting, there were as many as dozens of people!

The young man was secretly taken aback. He stared at Li Canghai, and said coldly: "No wonder you are so confident, you came prepared! Who are you? We have nothing against you, why did you come looking for me?" Waiting for trouble?"

Li Canghai snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "This officer should be asking you this, right? As people from Dongying, what is the purpose of you coming to my Tang Dynasty? And why did you arrest me as a guard?"

The young man frowned and said: "You are an official of the Tang Dynasty? But what is your official position?"

"I am the official minister of Dali Temple, Li Canghai!" Li Canghai said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Dali Temple Zhengqing? Don't fool me, Dali Temple Zhengqing is a third-rank official, how can he be so young?" The young man snorted coldly.

Li Canghai said calmly, "Why should I lie to you?"

The young man and the masked old man murmured to each other, and after a while, the young man said: "You say you are the Minister of Dali Temple, what proof do you have?"

"Why do I want to show you the evidence? The people from Dongying entered our Datang waters without permission, and I have the right to arrest you all! Come, take them all for me!" Li Canghai sternly said. Hey, more than a dozen guards rushed out from the forest in an instant, and surrounded everyone in Dongpu.

Li Jinsheng walked over and saluted Li Canghai solemnly, "Li Jinsheng, the commander of the Yangzhou garrison, came late to help, please forgive me!"

The young man looked Li Jinsheng up and down, and asked cautiously, "Are you the commander of the Yangzhou garrison?"

Li Jinsheng snorted coldly, and shouted: "Brave bandits, you catch my guards, and now you dare to speak rudely in front of Dali Temple Zhengqing, Mr. Li, it is really unreasonable!"

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but not get angry, but became happy instead.

He hurriedly bowed to Li Canghai and Li Jinsheng, and said eagerly: "My lords, don't misunderstand, we are not villains, but envoys of Japan!"

"What? You are envoys from Japan?" Li Jinsheng asked in surprise.

Li Canghai's heart was moved when he heard the words, but he didn't show any surprise on the surface, but said indifferently: "What evidence do you have to prove that you are the envoys of Dongpu? Not bandits wandering along the coast of our Tang Dynasty?"
