Felisa is also looking at Guo Zhiyuan curiously, as a beauty at the level of disaster to the country and the people, and the daughter of the governor, there are naturally countless men who pursue her, no matter where she goes, she is the focus of men's attention, but today's messenger sent by this biological person is a bit special, although in terms of Western aesthetics, Guo Zhiyuan's stature is a little short, and he is not handsome, but there is an aura in him, an aura that controls everything, And he didn't look at Felisa with a possessive gaze like any other man. Wang, is more of an appreciation of beautiful things, not disgusting at all, so when Felisa felt Guo Zhiyuan's gaze stay on her, she also smiled at him, and straightened her chest a little proudly.

At this time, Chu Wan'er next to Guo Zhiyuan was unhappy, and pinched Guo Zhiyuan's waist fiercely, pinching Guo Zhiyuan to grin, and somewhat inexplicably lowered her voice and said angrily: "What are you pinching me for?" There's something wrong! Chu Wan'er glared at Guo Zhiyuan fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Have you taken a fancy to that Western vixen?" It's not a good thing at first glance, it's not shameful at all, you give me care, don't let that Western vixen hook away the soul! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Chu Wan'er a little speechlessly, but it was not good to stare at Felisa anymore, walked up to Acunia, bowed to his chest, and smiled without humility or arrogance: "Your Excellency the Governor of Acunia, hello!" ”

Acuña saw Guo Zhiyuan take the initiative to stroke his chest, and the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly, Guo Zhiyuan was indeed different from the Ming envoy he had seen before, when he first met with the Ming Mission, the two sides had a long time because of the salute when they met, Guo Zhiyuan took the initiative to stroke his chest to show that Guo Zhiyuan was different from the previous Ming envoys who were not eating the ancients, and he could directly call his name It showed that he knew something about his own situation, but he didn't know anything about this young opponent, This gave Acuña a bad feeling that the most basic job of negotiation was to know as much as possible about the opponent's situation, so that he could take the initiative in the negotiation, and he had lost the first hand in this point.

Having lost the lead in intelligence work, Acuña naturally had to take the initiative in momentum, so he did not return the salute to Guo Zhiyuan according to the reciprocal etiquette, but opened his hands a little arrogantly, made a gesture of welcome, and looked at Guo Zhiyuan condescendingly: "Messenger from the country of the East, welcome to Manila, let me introduce you to these adults next to me......

As he spoke, he pointed to Miguel beside him and introduced: "This is Bishop Miguel, and he has been to your kingdom to preach......

Guo Zhiyuan also gave Miguel a chest salute and said with a smile: "Hello, Bishop Miguel, may the merciful God be with you......"

Miguel and Acuña were also a little surprised, the two exchanged glances, although the two often have conflicts because of interests, but they still have a very tacit understanding on foreign issues, both of them feel that they should touch Guo Zhiyuan's bottom, otherwise the information they have is completely unequal, and they will be a little passive when they will negotiate, so Miguel also made a welcome gesture to Guo Zhi, and then said tentatively: "Envoy from the Eastern Country, you seem to be different from the envoy of your country I have seen before, you are so young, I wonder what kind of position you hold in your country? ……”

The dialogue between the two sides was naturally carried out under the translation of Liu Tongshi, because the previous was a ceremonial dialogue, then Liu Tongshi naturally translated it truthfully, and now Miguel asked a lot of words in order to touch Guo Zhiyuan's bottom, then Liu Tongshi felt that his opportunity to stir up the yellow negotiation had come again, so he did not translate Miguel's words to Guo Zhiyuan, but directly replied in Spanish instead of Guo Zhiyuan: "Our Lord Guo was the magistrate of Gutian County, Fujian Province before, and his official position was ...... seven grades."

Sure enough, as soon as he translated like this, Acuña and Miguel's faces were very bad-looking, they were not ignorant of the situation in China, and they still had some understanding of the general grade of Ming Dynasty officials, knowing that Qipinzhi County was a very small official position, and the negotiations were all about the principle of reciprocity, and the Ming Dynasty sent a small Qipinzhi County to negotiate with them, which was a lack of sincerity to put it mildly, and it was an insult to put it seriously.

Acuña and Miguel were better, and the grumpy Thomas was furious when he heard this, and sneered: "The physiological man sent a small Qipinzhi county to negotiate with us, obviously not taking our Spanish Empire seriously!" How dare you ask His Excellency the Governor to greet him personally? I don't think there is any need to continue this negotiation! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan naturally saw that the situation was wrong, and guessed that it was Liu Tongshi's ghost, but he didn't know Spanish, if he didn't use this Liu Tongshi, he couldn't communicate with the Spaniards at all, and suddenly he had an idea, he didn't know Spanish, but he knew English, although at this time English was far from being popular all over the world like modern times, and became the lingua franca of international communication, but in the seventeenth century, the ties between the nobles of European countries were still relatively close, and there were more intermarriages between nobles from various countries, maybe Acuña knew English?

However, Acuña is the governor, and it is not appropriate for Guo Zhiyuan to talk to Acuña directly in English, and a bridge is still needed, so Guo Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Felisa behind Acuña, gave her a chest salute, and asked in English: "This beautiful young lady, can you tell me what Bishop Miguel said just now?" ……”

As soon as Guo Zhiyuan's English was spoken, everyone present looked at him in surprise, Felisa was a little surprised to see Guo Zhiyuan suddenly speak to her, but she had a good impression of Guo Zhiyuan, so she translated Miguel's original words into English, as soon as she translated like this, Guo Zhiyuan completely understood what the problem was, and glanced at Liu Tongshi coldly, and Liu Tongshi saw that Guo Zhiyuan could speak foreign words, and his face suddenly turned pale, the reason why he dared to make small moves in front of Guo Zhiyuan, is sure that Guo Zhiyuan will not be able to negotiate with Spain if he leaves, but now that Guo Zhiyuan can speak foreign words, then he will have no use value.

Guo Zhiyuan didn't get angry at Liu Tongshi on the spot, for such a jumping clown, he had a lot of ways to clean up afterwards, so he turned his head and smiled at Miguel in English: "Bishop Miguel, just now our Liu Tongshi introduced my situation in detail enough, my name is Guo Zhiyuan, I am indeed the Qipinzhi County of Gutian County, Fujian, but I also have another identity, my father was the teacher of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of my country, and now he is the governor of Gansu Province of my country, so I was lucky to get the respect of His Majesty the Emperor of my country, Let me be a diplomatic envoy......"

Acuña and Miguel showed a sudden expression, and their faces looked much better, Guo Zhiyuan's father was the governor of a province, and he was the prince's teacher, so Guo Zhiyuan was a proper nobleman, and such an identity was indeed qualified to be a diplomatic envoy to negotiate with them.

Guo Zhiyuan actually doesn't like to use his "second generation official" status to talk about things at every turn, but in this case he has no other way, Europeans actually pay more attention to origin than Chinese, only nobles will be respected by them, and his self-introduction has indeed successfully resolved the anger of the Spaniards, and the importance of him has also increased.

But in this way, Acuña and Miguel are more curious about Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan can actually speak English, which completely subverts their past perception of the Ming Dynasty envoys, the two glanced at each other again, and Acuña once again tried to say: "Envoy from the country of the East, several of your previous envoys have conveyed to me a letter from His Majesty the Emperor of your country, I deeply regret the killing of the merchants of your country who were doing business in Manila last year, but I have already explained to the previous envoys, That's because there is a conflict between the businessmen of your country who do business in Manila and the natives here, and we detain the businessmen of your country who do business in Manila because they disturb the social order of our place, violate our laws, and must be punished, so I cannot agree to your country's request for the release of these criminals, and if you come for the same purpose as them, don't mention it again......"

Guo Zhiyuan was naturally very angry at Acuña's words of reversing black and white, but he also knew that anger could not solve any problem at this time, so he smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, I want to ask you a question, if the same situation happens to the businessmen of your country to our country, how will your country deal with it?" ……”

Acuña didn't expect Guo Zhiyuan to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, but Guo Zhiyuan was speechless when asked rhetorically, and he couldn't think of a good argument to refute for a while, but the grumpy Thomas on the side couldn't help it, and sneered: "Ridiculous!" How can you, lowly creatures, compare with the people of our Spanish Empire? Whoever dares to kill the people of my Spanish Empire, I will let him know how powerful the Armada of the Spanish Empire is! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was completely angry when he heard this, and turned his head to Thomas and said sharply: "Can I understand that you are declaring war on my Ming Empire?!" I don't see where you're nobler than me?! If you don't take back your words and apologize for your rudeness, I will definitely make you pay for your words! ……”

Thomas glanced contemptuously at Guo Zhiyuan, who was shorter than him, and sneered: "Why do you want me to pay? Do you still want to duel with me? ……”

Acuña originally felt that Thomas was too reckless, and was about to scold him a few words, but as soon as he heard him say the word duel, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he felt that it was not bad to call Guo Zhiyuan's catties and taels, so he didn't speak, and observed Guo Zhiyuan's reaction with a smile!
