Chapter 538: Three Kings Discuss Peace (II)
On the third floor of the platform, three rectangular tables are arranged with the word "product", and opposite Zhu Xiaobao are the two tables of King Ming and King Zuo placed side by side, which is equivalent to Zhu Xiaobao facing the two princes alone.
However, as soon as he sat down, King Ming and King Zuo Jialanga were a little novel, not sitting on the ground in the past, but sitting on a large chair with armrests on both sides, and the table in front of him was much higher, so that the meal was more comfortable and convenient.
In fact, Zhu Xiaobao has always been very uncomfortable with the habit of kneeling and sitting to eat here, and his usual meals have long been changed to the current tables and chairs! Even the people around him have changed their eating habits!
"Zhu Xiaobao, we are here to negotiate, what are you doing with so many tricks? Do you want to remind us that you are a chef? As soon as King Ming sat down, he began to think about Zhu Xiaobao, let him be on an equal footing with Zhu Xiaobao, the king of England, he has always been a little unhappy.
Now seeing that Zhu Xiaobao has prepared such a sumptuous banquet, I can't help but have an illusion that Zhu Xiaobao is very eager to negotiate peace. This also made King Ming inexplicably have a sense of superiority. Only with a few million troops can he be regarded as a prince who dominates one side! Zhu Xiaobao only relied on Yu Qianrou's care to give him the identity of a prince!
"Huh! This doesn't need to be reminded, I know you remember it clearly! I'm just doing my landlord's friendship! After a month of fighting, it has been hard work, and this is why I want to make peace between us easier. If King Ming doesn't like it, I can set you another table and you can watch us eat and talk! Zhu Xiaobao said lightly, in fact, he was quite disappointed in King Ming, there was no city and demeanor that a prince should have! But Princess Ming next to her behaved very reservedly and was also very cultivated! She secretly touched King Ming, warning King Ming to pay attention to her words!
"Ahh …… Then don't worry, since you are so polite, we will follow the local customs! Yes, yes, try to make the atmosphere of peace more relaxed! You don't have to worry too much, it won't break the bank! King Ming smiled a little embarrassedly.
Not only because of the warning received from Princess Ming, but if you really sit aside by yourself, then I am afraid it will be the most embarrassing thing! However, he always believed that Zhu Xiaobao was so richly prepared because he wanted them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible! In the face of the pressure of two million troops, who can withstand this huge pressure?
"Huh! Then please! Although the two of you enjoy it, anyway, I estimate that if your war horse wants to fully recover, I'm afraid it will take ten days and eight days, and we have time! We don't know each other anymore, come on, come on, I salute the two princes and Princess Ming! Zhu Xiaobao raised his glass and said with a smile.
"Hehe, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, that's a good point! I hope that after the peace talks, we can also have a day of cooperation! Princess Ming first picked up the wine glass and said with a smile. King Ming had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and drink it all down!
"Good wine! It's even more mellow than a burning knife, what kind of wine is this? I've never drunk it! King Ming put down his wine glass and immediately praised loudly.
"Hmmm! Good wine indeed! And these dishes are also too appetizing! Princess Ming also nodded and praised.
"King Sao, you're welcome, even if you want to continue fighting, you have to eat enough to have strength! Try this sauce beef, which is made from those fire beef, which I made myself. You are still amazing, you killed more than half of the 20,000 fire cows, and there was so much extra beef at once, I had to make it into sauce beef, but fortunately, my soldiers liked it very much! Zhu Xiaobao consciously mentioned that these sauced beef are made of fire beef, and Ming Zheshi praised the lethality of King Ming and being the king, but it was actually poked at the sore spot of King Zuo Jialanga!
"Humph! The carving insect trick is just to bring us some beef! Jialanga was annoyed, but hummed lightly. I also picked up a slice and put it in my mouth! But I was immediately surprised in my heart, the beef I ate was old and coarse, how could it be so crispy and delicious? It's a world of difference! This chef-turned-all treasures are really a bit of a master!
Look at the eight cold dishes on the table, they are also well-known for a long time, pickled pepper and phoenix feet, large grilled milkfish, cold salad and so on...... Not only is the color and flavor complete, but even the container for the dishes is pure silver, which is exquisite! Could it be that the standard of living of these little treasures is so much higher than that of their two princes? This is also a delicious delicacy in the palace!
The banquet was the beginning, and the old apprentice lost no time in bringing up a plate of fried stinky tofu, which was an appetizing snack! Immediately, everyone smelled a stinky fragrance, and there was a very appetizing smell!
"Little treasures! What do you mean by that, come up with something that stinks like this? Want to disgust me ain! King Ming immediately asked with a calm face. He deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Zhu Xiaobao.
"Oh? Sorry, I didn't expect King Ming to dislike this hors d'oeuvres. Come on, put away the stinky tofu on King Ming's table. The province affected the appetite of King Ming! Zhu Xiaobao was not angry, and said very casually.
The old apprentice unceremoniously took away the fried stinky tofu in front of King Ming, and then stretched out his hand to take Princess Ming's share away, Princess Ming hurriedly protected and said, "I didn't say I didn't want this snack!" ”
The old apprentice stopped, glanced at King Ming, and then went back to the second floor to continue preparing for the next hot fry! But just this glance made King Ming's heart tremble, this old man is definitely a master, just this look made him a little frightened! The one-eyed dragon behind Zuowang Jialanga was also shocked, he also saw that this old man was unfathomable, he had been fighting with people all his life, so his feelings in this regard were even more keen. He had even guessed the identity of this chubby old man! So I looked at Zhu Xiaobao with awe, I can make a great martial artist willing to be a chef who passes dishes, this British king Chitose is definitely not simple!
But at this time, what is a little speechless is that Zuowang Jialanga is already eating a little disregard for the image. She's eaten too monotonously these days, and now she's just making up for it!
The hot stir-fry was also served one after another, although Lu Tong and Lu Fang did not have the general level of Zhu Xiaobao, but it had already made the two princes here a little unstoppable! I have even forgotten the purpose of this trip, didn't Zhu Xiaobao say it! Let's make the atmosphere of peace more relaxed and pleasant! Now this purpose has clearly been achieved! King Ming and King Zuo both ate very happily and feasted to their heart's content, but it was not very easy, because their speed was too fast! It's almost the same to describe it as a whirlwind cloud!
Princess Ming still has some demeanor, eats more Sven, and at the same time looks down on Jialanga a little, she is also a prince, why does she look so ugly! If she knew what Jialanga had eaten these days, she would have understood! It's almost the same as pig food!
"Good! Good! Good! Zhu Xiaobao, you are not very recognized by the king of England, but you are deeply admired for your cooking skills, and you can make so many novel dishes, I think you are almost the same as a chef! Well, wine is good too! Send me a hundred altars when you have time! King Ming drank very happily and said with a red face.
"It's a pity that fighting a war is not about cooking, it's about absolute strength! Now, can we talk about peace? Jialanga also put down her chopsticks contentedly, quietly burped, then lit a pot of cigarettes, and began to negotiate conditions! She's really in good spirits now!
King Ming was immediately reminded, and immediately lit a pot of cigarettes, and Meimei took two puffs before he sighed: "A pot of cigarettes after a meal, race over the living immortals!" I don't know who said it, but it's really appropriate! ”
Even Princess Ming couldn't help but light a pot of cigarettes, she is also addicted to smoking, usually King Ming enjoys other women, her best way to relieve loneliness is to smoke!
Zhu Xiaobao seemed to be to foil each other, and also lit a cigar! took a sip, but obviously saw that the three smoking guns on the opposite side were very disdainful to look at Zhu Xiaobao, how could this cigar have flue-cured tobacco strength! This makes Zhu Xiaobao a little crying and laughing, this kind of handmade cigar is high-end, okay?
Removed the remnant table, immediately someone brought up the green tea that had just been brewed, and suddenly a fresh and elegant tea fragrance came in from the smoke, which made people feel refreshed, and took a shallow sip, and suddenly the fragrance was pleasant, full of aftertaste, and the usual kind of sencha has a world of difference, but it is so refreshing!
Several people are a little puzzled, how the things here are very chic, there has been this kind of directly brewed tea on the market, but there is absolutely no such feeling of relaxation! Now this feeling is indeed very pleasant, King Ming feels that his realm has improved a lot!
"Zhu Xiaobao, I won't be verbose with you, seeing that you greeted you very thoughtfully today, just so-so 100,000 denier of grain, 10,000 war horses, and 1,000 jars of good wine! And fifty thousand taels of gold! King Ming waved his hand and said very boldly.
"Alright! Although I have more people, I am just like King Ming! As soon as you agree, we will withdraw our troops immediately! Jialanga also nodded and said.
"Hmmm! Less is less, but when I think of your difficulties, I don't care! I'm just too soft-hearted! You're all so clean, I don't have any opinion! When will the things be delivered? Don't be in a hurry for food first, I'm a little difficult for you now, so let's send the gold first, and the silver ticket will also do! Zhu Xiaobao crossed his fingers and thought about it, and said reluctantly.
"What? What the? Sent to you? What are you talking about? Did you drink too much? Want to sober up? King Ming was suddenly excited, and hurriedly said, and looked at Zhu Xiaobao's eyes in surprise. He seriously suspected that Zhu Xiaobao had drunk too much!
"Didn't you say that you would give me 100,000 deniers of grain, 10,000 horses, 1,000 jars of good wine, and 50,000 taels of gold? Although I don't like your good wine very much, I should give you some face! I just took it so-so! Zhu Xiaobao also said very puzzled. Could it be that King Ming immediately regretted it? Or is there a problem with the payment method? It's all negotiable!
"You fart! Shall I pay you? Do you really dare to think that we, two million people, will still pay you compensation? You've got a fucking brain problem, right? King Ming immediately shouted angrily, and when he slapped the table, the cup of tea on the table was also smashed!
"Alas! It's a pity, this is the best green tea I have carefully baked! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said regretfully, and then asked with a sinking face: "Didn't you compensate me?" It seems like I'm the victor between us, right? Do you want me, the victorious side, to compensate you? I'm going to compensate you invaders? Think again! ”
"Winner? Haha, Zhu Xiaobao, you just won two battles by luck, and you already dare to call yourself the winner? We're just scratching the surface now, and you're pretty much done with your tricks, aren't you? If you continue to fight, you will only have one result, and that is to be wiped out! King Ming suddenly laughed and said, thinking that he and King Zuo's alliance could still make up two million, his heart was full of a sense of superiority!
"That's right! Zhu Xiaobao, don't think that we are afraid of you, we just don't want to lose both, this is not good for anyone, our conditions are already very tolerant and generous! In addition, in addition to these compensations, you must also hand over Chi Fen to me! Zuowang Jialanga was also on the side, and she also felt that her self-confidence had returned! The main thing is that I am so satisfied with the food that I even eat with confidence!
"Haha! That's it, little treasures! Don't be ignorant! What else do you say about your territory, we are invaders? Since ancient times, it has been a king who has become a king and a loser, and the world is strong! The more King Ming spoke, the happier he became, and the domineering spirit on his body was faintly emanated!
"Brilliant! Originally, I still wanted to guard my own one-third of an acre of land and be alone. Now I know I was wrong. No matter who wins the world, they will be thinking about my one-third of an acre of land. In that case, then I'll be reluctant to be a strong man!
"Is it difficult to be a strong man? Hahahaha, little treasures! I'm starting to like you a little bit, you always make me feel good and feel good! Do you still want to be a strong man? But it's no wonder that you, a slave and a cook, how do you know what a real strong person is? To be able to sit here and negotiate with me is enough to be proud for a lifetime! King Ming seemed to be looking down on the other party and said condescendingly.
"Remember what you say! Don't admit it when you kneel in front of me! The strong man does not look at how many people he has, but how strong he is! You won't understand that!
Xia Zeming, what are you happy about? Your fiefdom is now in internal and external troubles, right? The potential crisis of food shortages is already beginning to be revealed, right? What you should be worried about is whether the eldest prince, the sixth highness and the seventh princess will take advantage of the situation! Instead of showing off your little bit of people here!
Garanga, you've run out of food, haven't you? I can see it from the way you ate just now! You think I don't know, you're already out of your own life! Every time you lose someone from me, it means that you are a little stronger than King You! And you can join forces with the Ming King. I can also join forces with Youwang, and I believe he is also willing to join forces with me! Hmph, do you dare to ask for compensation?
I was just giving you a chance, and now I am compensated, which is finally a show of goodwill! For the sake of the neighbors, if there is any crisis at that time, I can still help! But alas, you have wasted it!
Let me tell you, the only one who can win the world is me or the people I support, I don't think there is any need to go on today's peace talks, you go back and prepare for the war! I'm going to show you how vulnerable you are in front of me! If you want to negotiate peace when the time comes, it won't be this price! Someone, send off! Zhu Xiaobao's voice was calm and indifferent, but what he said was that the words hit the weakness of King Ming and King Zuo.
And Zhu Xiaobao's calmness and calmness suddenly made the self-confidence of King Zuo and King Ming blurred, and then I remembered those troubles about myself, in fact, both of them were deeply involved in internal and external troubles, but they were a little carried away when they were happy just now!
"Lord Wang, please use tea!" At this time, the old apprentice just rightly brought a tea bowl to King Ming and put it in front of King Ming.
"Zhu Xiaobao, you are too arrogant, good! Then wait for Lingyue Mountain to be exterminated by us, and then you can only kneel in front of me and speak! King Ming suddenly shouted angrily, picked up the tea bowl on the table, and wanted to take a sip to moisten his throat, but he didn't expect that the tea bowl had just been picked up, and it had not yet been delivered to his mouth, but it was inexplicably turned into thousands of pieces, and suddenly King Ming's hands were full of tea and tea.
King Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that he had just taken the old man and sent it, which showed a deep kung fu! At least you can't do it yourself.
Zuowang Jialanga was also shocked when she saw it, she is also a cultivator of Wuzun, and this eyesight is still there! And the one-eyed dragon behind him is even more and more sure that this fat old man must be one of the Nine Venerables, the Wine and Meat Venerable! Now there are many legends about this Wine and Meat Venerable, and they all say that his kung fu has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has already defeated the eighth-ranked Nine Yin Venerable and the ninth-ranked Wind Venerable!
"Hear me! My master let you go! Serving tea to guests, do you understand? Get out of here! Jumei said loudly with her eyes glared at this time, she didn't expect Duanmu Qi to train a little before she came, and now Jumei's performance is quite good, she knows that she has sent tea to guests, and she is also very restrained, and she didn't fight! But now the golden hammer is in his hand!
"You...... You guys...... Okay, okay, if you want to die, then don't blame me for being rude! Madame, let's go! King Ming was shocked and angry, and his words were a little unfavorable, if it weren't for the deterrent power of the old apprentice, he would have wanted to do it on the spot!
"Good! Zhu Xiaobao, let's fight to the death! Jialanga also said angrily, she was sarcastically ugly, and she was already angry and annoyed in her heart! But there is nothing to be done, who calls himself uncontrollable and a little anxious to eat! So at this time, I also got up and left.
"Hmmm! Zhu Xiaobao, let's discuss this matter again, it's not my intention to do this now, maybe we can talk about it separately! Princess Ming was a few steps behind before she whispered.
"Humph! Princess Ming, I thought you were a very wise woman, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted! I don't send it! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head with some regret, then turned his back and looked into the distance and ignored Princess Ming. Princess Ming was a little embarrassed to follow King Ming and made peace......
