Before they could get a reasonable explanation from Mary, Henry and the others looked at Corleone with resentful eyes, as if to accuse him of negligence.

"He's not my servant, he's my bodyguard. Although Mary repeatedly emphasized her and Liu Zhan's previous status as master and servant, only a fool would believe Mary's statement now, and Henry even more unceremoniously accused her.

"What a bodyguard, did you know that he just hit one of the MPs in Yangglu in front of everyone. ”

Henry reluctantly stood up angrily, and this time he found that his injuries were serious, so he hurriedly staggered back to his original position.

At this time, Corleone realized that it was no wonder that there was something wrong with Henry and them just now, and now it was all because of this Liu Zhan.

"Mary, we are on a mission this time, please remember, I know that your family has a big business, and you also have a bit of an industry in Huaxia, but this is not a reason for you to use this to find a subordinate to play. ”

"Oh my God, Corleone, you ought to put away your hateful face, as far as I know, in all the years you have been working, there have been many innocent girls you have deceived. ”

As soon as everyone heard that there was Corleone's shady scene, they immediately cheered up and looked at each other how to tear their faces.

"It's just something out of nowhere, it's slander, it's slander! I'm going to court against your Mary,"

"Then you can go, and by the way, I will also form a group of victims' girls named Corleone to go to the court hearing. ”

Although Corleone has repeatedly stated that he has nothing to do with what Mary said, it is clear that everyone has begun to talk more and more about him.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, anyway, your dead ghost husband did give you a lot of money before the divorce, and now that you have money, it's normal to raise a few little white faces. "Corleone's appearance of losing is worthy of the mentality of someone who often works hard in politics.

Wren and Thiago listened with interest as they tore each other's faces and were silent, Wren sat next to Thiago and gave him advice like a kobold, and Scott stood behind Thiago's chair to protect him at any time.

As for Thiago himself, it was even more remarkable, sitting in the middle of the table, from which he could look down on everything, and there was a feeling of a king looking down on his subjects.

Because according to Corleone's plan, Liu Zhan has no place, and now Liu Zhan is only temporarily added a chair to sit at the end of the table, but even so, he is undoubtedly the hottest person at this table now.

The food in the table is very simple, maybe the money is used by the president and the prime minister to buy plates, the only meat is meat, and then the surrounding is slightly accompanied by some cabbage and potatoes for decoration, the meat is probably mutton, but it is obviously not particularly fresh, and there are also some cheeses, which are said to be the specialties of the tribesmen here, Liu Zhan, as a Chinese, has a natural aversion to this kind of thing, but fortunately, he has traveled north and south for many years, at least he will not lose his Western table manners on it.

Henry had to give up eating because of his teeth and pain, and when he saw the real fragrance of Liu Zhan's food, he didn't forget to sneer: "A yellow-skinned monkey, I can't imagine picking up a knife and fork, and he still looks good." ”

The mysterious magic needle just now just gave Henry a warning, so the silent effect didn't last long, so maybe Henry caused some illusion in this regard, thinking that the magic trick Liu Zhan used just now was just some strange tricks.

But Liu Zhan was different this time, he planned to quiet Henry all day, and when the ghosts didn't know it, Liu Zhan shot a flying needle into Henry's body, and Henry was dumb in an instant, and then began to dance for help.

Because it was really unseemly, Corleone had to let people carry Henry away, after all, there were still Thiago and Wren here, and he didn't want to let the team members of this operation completely lose face here in Illian because of this, after all, there are still many opportunities for cooperation between the two countries in the future, if this alone makes Yangglu inferior in negotiations, then it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Finally, President Thiago had one of his favorite dishes served, a sour liquid, or fermented mare's milk, which Wren and Thiago explained and then began to gulp down the juice, which seemed to be really delicious.

But Corleone didn't think so, especially Mary, whose spoon was really in the air and hesitated.

"Miss Mary, drink quickly. Thiago mischievously persuaded.

"That's... This... I'm just going to take a small sip, you know, women love to lose weight. ”

Mary wanted to directly refuse the unreasonable demands of President Thiago and others, but when she saw Corleone's commanding eyes, she had no choice but to be respectful and obey.

Corleone was a person who had come over, and knew that Mary was the eldest lady who had a temper attack, so he hurriedly led by example and took a sip and said: "The ancestors of the Illians are all a little Mongolian genetic, so many times, they are happy to yearn for life on horseback, so they are particularly interested in horse meat or mare's milk. ”

As he spoke, Corleone continued to feed himself mare's milk, which seemed to be very reluctant, but Mary had no choice but to drink it when she saw it.

The glass beside them has been filled with fruit wine, and the guests and hosts are eating and talking, most of them are about the beautiful vision of the future development of Yilian, industrial development, trade exchanges, and becoming an important political and cultural meeting center in Central Asia, as well as political ambitions, and various ambitions to control the throat of the Chinese Silk Road.

Liu Zhan only thinks that these people are fools, putting aside personal emotions, Huaxia does not allow anyone to make any small moves against them in the world, don't say that Yilian does not dare to do this, that is, Yang Gelu wants to move Huaxia now, then he also has to weigh his weight before making a move, because the current Huaxia is no longer the Huaxia that was hundreds of years ago and would only be slaughtered by others.

"For trade. Corleone said.

"For assistance. Thiago said.

The two old foxes seem to have already reached an agreement, and the current dinner is just a celebration banquet for Corleone alone.

Corleone smiled and took a sip of the juice, but Thiago said, "My dear friend, when is the time, just drinking the juice is not much of a point, why don't we serve you some mare's milk wine." ”

Just as Corleone was about to excuse himself as a drink by not being able to drink, Thiago had prepared mare's milk.

Mare's milk wine is made from mare's milk and water mixed with some other koji, and it is a drink that prefers to be all-natural, but when drunk, because of its unique taste, not everyone is happy to accept it.

Corleone is not very fond of wine, and he can accept any kind of wine and drink it to the fullest.

He is not picky, nor blindly worship, to keep seeking truth from facts, as a gentleman of Yangglu, to be able to taste wine is a compulsory introductory course, for which he also deliberately tasted the specialty of China, the imperial capital Erguotou, even he felt that Erguotou is the right taste of wine.

As for famous wines like Moutai and Wuliangye, he has also tasted one or two, for this kind of thing, he can write a paper on the research of Huaxia wine, in fact, he has been in Huaxia for a few years, and he also has a lot of experience in these things, but in any case, now let him drink the cup of mare's milk wine in front of him, which is inevitably a little heavy.

He was happy to have a drunken drink with Thiago like whiskey and brandy, but now that he was asked to drink a mare's milk and water, he was a little embarrassed as a gentleman of Yangru, but Tial didn't care.

He not only prepared a cup for Corleone, but also prepared a glass of fine mare's milk for every guest present.

"What is the reward for the aid?" Mary suddenly interrupted at this time, as if she loved this, and always loved to suddenly come to such a thunderous sentence when others were about to think that their goal was about to be achieved.

"It's just a political thing. Corleone tried to shirk it.

"It's just politics? Are you sure you didn't sell us all to your new friend Thiago?"

"Mary, what do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, now your friends are inviting you to drink, and you are delaying drinking now, it is difficult for us to do it. ”

As she spoke, Mary made an expression as if she was genuinely embarrassed for Corleone, and then everyone gathered their glasses together and drank them down.

Liu Zhan's amount of wine is the best, and as soon as he touched the mouth, he found that this cup of mare's milk wine was really extraordinary, which made Thiago, who originally had a little prejudice against him, still appreciate Liu Zhan's courage.

As for the other gentlemen from Yangaru, although they all said that they had to drink it all in one gulp, in fact they were only a small sip, which made Thiago a little unhappy and said: "This is a very precious mare's milk wine, how can you spoil them like this, hurry up, as a man, you have to drink it all when you drink." ”

The other councillors looked at each other, and had to drink the unique mare's milk wine under Corleone's lead, but Mary still held on to the question just now, and she felt that she must not be able to ask anything here in Corleone, so she simply threw the question on Thiago.

"What is the return of the aid, Mr. President, please answer my question. Mary asked again, as usual, without changing even the sentence or the tone, and her tone was always slightly provocative.

President Thiago stared at Mary, who was sitting next to the table, and said, "Return? There is no aid in return, why ask, I think in this respect, we are all friends, and besides, Illion is a sovereign and independent and free people, Miss Mary, we think that you can be our sincere allies in the West, so we intend to develop Illion with you, so, I think, there is no such thing as a return, only the friendship between our two countries is the most worthy thing to live on between us. ”

Thiago said a lot of polite words, but still didn't say anything in return, as if he didn't want to give it at all, or rather, the benefits had been taken by Corleone alone.

Thiago could also see that his so-called rhetoric did not impress the rock-solid Miss Mary, and then said: "Do you have anything in particular? ”

This is an obvious bribe, this is a naked and obvious intention to buy Mary, Liu Zhan almost couldn't listen to the dirty deal that was about to happen here, and then he was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Mary and said, "I don't need anything, Mr. President!"

"Oh?" Thiago was also slightly surprised by Mary's refusal.
