Chapter 144: Diplomatic Rhetoric
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Fang hurriedly replied.
Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Then tonight, at the third watch, you wait for me under our big treasure ship, and I will take you up to see the sea whale bone." ”
Jiang Fang, who was originally quite excited, hesitated a little when he heard that he wanted her to go to Chen Zheng at the third watch.
"What? Scared? Chen Zheng teased.
Jiang Fang frowned and asked, "Why do you want to do it at the third watch?" ”
"As I said just now, this sea whalebone is a tribute to His Majesty Daliang, and now if you want to see it, you must avoid the eyes and ears of other people, so choosing it at the third watch is the best choice for you and me, and for our two countries." Chen Zhengdao.
Jiang Fang was silent, obviously thinking about what Chen Zheng had just said.
After a long time, Jiang Fang raised his head and said to Chen Zheng: "According to what Brother Chen said, we will meet under the big treasure boat." ”
This was out of Chen Zheng's expectations, he thought that Jiang Fang would retreat from the difficulty, so he no longer pestered him to see the whalebone.
But he didn't expect Jiang Fang to be so persistent and agreed to his request, which caught Chen Zheng off guard.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Brother Chen repented? Jiang Fang saw Chen Zheng's hesitant expression, and asked instead.
Chen Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "Isn't Miss Jiang afraid?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Jiang Fang pretended not to know.
Chen Zheng deliberately looked Jiang Fang up and down carefully with an almost aggressive look, and said with a smile: "This month is dark and windy, lonely men and widows, if there is any accident, oh, it will not be an accident." ”
It could be seen that Jiang Fang, who heard this, obviously flashed a trace of worry in her eyes, but she quickly covered up the past and smiled indifferently: "My identity is the Song envoy's attendant, if anything happens to the Liang Kingdom, it will be a big deal, will anyone act so recklessly?" ”
Chen Zheng smiled and said: "If there is really a temporary intention of the gangster who doesn't know what to do, he is tempted by Miss Jiang's beauty, regardless of the diplomatic relations between these two countries, even if Liang Guo severely punishes the thugs afterwards, I am afraid that the damage suffered by the girl will be irreparable." ”
Chen Zheng's words can be described as heartfelt words, once some injuries are caused, it will be difficult to eliminate for life.
Sure enough, after Jiang Fang heard this, he began to hesitate again.
Chen Zheng was a little proud, and at this time, the rest of the dishes for the banquet were also prepared one after another.
"Won't Brother Chen protect me?" Jiang Fang next to him said suddenly.
Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "I will naturally protect you!" ”
Jiang Fang listened, burst into a bright smile, and said, "Then let's decide, meet under the three treasure ships tonight!" ”
"What? You promised? Chen Zheng asked rhetorically, "Don't think about it anymore?" It's not safe! ”
Jiang Fang shook his head and said, "First, this is in Kyoto of Liang Kingdom, I don't think that thief dares to make trouble in Kyoto; Second, Brother Chen also said just now that he will protect me, so what am I afraid of? ”
Chen Zheng was secretly annoyed, regretting that he shouldn't have used sea whale bones to tease Jiang Fang, but now he has made it difficult for him to ride a tiger.
"What? Brother Chen can't be teasing me, right? Jiang Fang asked.
Chen Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not true, since Miss Jiang is not afraid, then we will meet under the big treasure boat on the third watch tonight, and we will see you or leave!" ”
Jiang Fang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Brother Chen's words are really wonderful, if you don't see it, we can make a decision." ”
As soon as the two agreed, the bell rang in the hall, which indicated that the feast had begun and the chopsticks could be moved.
Li Shuang next to him was almost faint from hunger, so he directly picked up the chopsticks and devoured them.
Chen Zheng also tasted a few mouthfuls of food, to be honest, in addition to the unique taste, it is not very delicious, compared to the Juquande Restaurant opened by him and Li Shuang, and even inferior to Haidaiyuan in Dongyang County.
While eating, Chen Zheng suddenly missed Dongyang County a little, and even more missed the lady who was waiting for him in Dongyang County.
"What kind of dish is this, so unpalatable?" Li Shuang next to him suddenly complained.
Chen Zheng looked over to Li Shuang's side and saw that he was eating a lumpy thing, which was black and not very good-looking.
looked in front of him, there was also that dish, so Chen Zheng picked it up, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
It's salty, dry, and tastes like fish, but when you chew it, it's firewood, which is really not delicious.
"It's called mackerel, and it's made by steaming and boiling pickled salted fish." Jiang Fang introduced Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng, who is accustomed to eating fish, listened to the practice of this dish, and his brows were furrowed, steaming salted fish? What the hell is this kind of cooking? No wonder it's so unpalatable.
At this moment, on the side of the head party, He Ji suddenly said to Li Qian, the envoy of the Song Dynasty: "When Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, the princes of the five parties used this inverted fish to entertain guests, and the princes of the five parties have the right to conquer the four parties!" ”
Chen Zheng listened to it in his ears, and he was a little unclear, so He Ji was obviously quoting scriptures, and it was a matter of the previous dynasty, so it was not surprising that Chen Zheng didn't understand it.
It's just that Jiang Fang next to him was a little unhappy, and snorted coldly: "You Daliang, this Honglu Siqing, really looks down on people!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Zheng asked if he didn't understand.
Jiang Fang was very patient and explained to Chen Zheng: "Then He Ji used this shark to lead out the five marquis, and then said that these five marquis conquered the Quartet, which means that your Liang soldiers are strong and strong, and you can conquer our Song Guobei at any time." ”
After listening to Jiang Fang's explanation, Chen Zheng realized that these scholars can't think of a strategy for governing the country, but the ability of this hanging book bag to satirize people is really strong.
The purpose of contempt can be achieved with just one dish, which is really incomprehensible if you don't read a few more books.
Looking at the Song Dynasty again, Li Qian obviously frowned, and his face was a little unhappy, but when he thought of being in Tongtai Temple just now, he also made the faces of these people in Honglu Temple unbearable, so he understood.
The diplomacy between the two countries is nothing more than a war of words, and Li Qian is not afraid of this.
I saw Li Qian smile slightly, and said: "The Marquis of the Five Directions is indeed extremely powerful, but after all, they are only one of the princes, and they must be ordered by Emperor Wen." ”
A few simple words, without too much explanation, He Ji listened to it, but his face changed, and he didn't know how to take it.
Chen Zheng was also in a fog when he heard it, and Jiang Fang didn't understand it when he saw it, so he continued to explain: "He Ji just used the Wufang Marquis to imply that the Liang State could conquer the Song State at any time, so Lord Li took this opportunity to ridicule each other, and the body type He Ji just compared the Liang State to a prince, so now He Ji is speechless. ”
After listening to Jiang Fang's explanation, Chen Zheng let out a sigh of relief, this diplomatic rhetoric sounded really difficult.
Chen Zheng simply no longer cared about the quarrel between He Ji and Li Qian, but focused on food, after all, there was still something to do in the third watch in the evening, and he had to eat enough before he had strength!
