Chapter 199: How to Receive It?
In the past few days at sea, Horiguchi Izo was shocked and couldn't express his feelings in words.
He is not seasick, these days, as long as he is driving the ship, he is accustomed to standing beside Cao Yan in the cockpit, he is now Cao Yan's subordinate, watching the battleship break the waves, galloping in the sea at a galloping speed, and when asked where the ship came, the person who was asked pointed to the sky mysteriously, and then told him that Cao Yan brought it.
This also confirmed his thoughts, because he had knocked on different places more than once, it was a huge steel ship, and he also thought that this was something that could not be built by human beings at all.
When the boat was slowly preparing to sail into the Osaka dock, the small fishing boat near the coast brought terrifying news, "A huge silver monster has come to the open sea, emitting white smoke and making a loud noise. ”
And when the battleship appeared near the dock, the people and fishermen working here all ran away, and even the dock guards, who had just come to see what the monster was, scattered and fled when they saw the battleship.
After Cao Yan took people off the boat, he found that there was not even a single figure on the dock at this time.
For this battleship, people in this era have not only curiosity, but also fear.
As a member of this nation, Inozo Horiguchi knew why people had all run away, and when he thought of the first time he saw the ship, his first thought was to run away, and it was only in the laughter and laughter of those around him who knew the details of the ship that he overcame the fear in his heart.
The situation on the dock made Horiguchi Izo's face a little hot, and he smiled flatteringly at Cao Yan: "Sir, please wait for me, I'll go and call someone to help immediately." ”
"Well, let's unload some goods here first." Cao Yan nodded and agreed, there was some stepping stones that needed to be unloaded here, and then the battleship would leave the dock and dock ten miles offshore.
With Cao Yan's consent, Horiguchi Izo hurriedly ran to a side of the dock, which was his family's business name at this dock.
"Bang!" "Bang!" Inozo Horiguchi knocked on the wooden door that was confined, "Hurry up and open the door, it's my Izō." ”
"Squeak," the door was opened a crack, and the person standing at the door was clearly seen, and the door was opened instantly, and then the person inside reached out and was about to pull Horiguchi Izo into the house, "Master Izo, come in quickly, there is a huge monster in the sea, I heard that it is going to eat a hundred people, so it will be immediately." The man in the room shouted.
When Horiguchi Izo heard this, his face darkened, and he immediately shouted: "Yaga," "Pap" "Pap" Then two crisp slaps sounded, and Horiguchi Izo said angrily: "Who spread the rumor? It was the divine ship that Mr. Fuhu brought down from the heavenly realm, how could it be a monster? You have to watch what you say and do!! ”
When the person in charge of the firm heard this, although he didn't fully understand the meaning of the words, he did know what the so-called third young master in front of him was doing.
Some time ago, it was he who arranged for a ship to send him to Da Chu.
Now the third young master is now coming back with that huge monster, "oh," listening to the meaning of the third young master's words, it is a divine ship, doesn't this mean that he must have climbed the high branch.
Then his opportunity has also come, if he climbs this new nobleman, he can also get great benefits, he hurriedly became eager, immediately prostrate on the ground, and congratulated: "Congratulations, the third young master returned with honor this time, I don't know if you need the little one to do something for you?" ”
Horiguchi Izo was very satisfied with this sentence and returned with a sensible glance, "Get up, this time I came with my husband to do something big, now you arrange some people to accompany me to help my husband carry some things to Kyoto, and send someone to deliver my letter to my father as soon as possible." After Horiguchi Izo instructed, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, "By the way, go to the street to publicize it, so that everyone should not be afraid, don't lose our face, and let the people of the kingdom laugh at us and other rural people, who have no knowledge." ”
"I know, I know, I hope that the young master will cultivate more in the future." The shopkeeper who stood up bowed to Inozo Horiguchi again.
……
Osaka and Kyoto are actually not far away, that is, more than 60 kilometers.
And this route is an important outlet to the sea in Kyoto, so the road is not bad.
Four wagons were hoisted down the ship, loaded with goods, and pulled by four horses from the pier Horiguchi Izo, and they rushed to Kyoto, where they arrived only two or three hours later.
Obviously, Cao Yan underestimated his reputation, to be precise, he should have underestimated the reputation of his wife Lin Yiru.
When Izo Horiguchi's letter arrived as quickly as possible, his family.
After reading the letter, Horiguchi Daiki informed the then lord of the country, Emperor Toba, as quickly as possible, that this was a young man in his twenties who was now in a period of blind worship of the Great Chu culture.
After reading the letter presented by Horiguchi Daiki, Emperor Feiyu asked in a puzzled tone: "What your third son said is that the husband of Lin Yiru, who wrote "Queqiao Immortal Fiber Cloud Tricky" and has the unstoppable courage of ten thousand households, Cao Yan and Cao Fuhu are here?" ”
"Yes, judging by the content of the child's letter, it should be, and it should arrive soon." Horiguchi Oki replied to the Flying Feather Emperor in the prostrate chamber.
"Then how should you entertain you?" Emperor Flying Feather asked.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he is just a cloth coat, so there is no need to be too grand, just arrange a foreign affairs official to entertain him." One of the courtiers present spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty should be." When the others heard this, they also nodded in agreement.
Emperor Feiyu frowned a little when he heard this, but he nodded again, he actually wanted to see what kind of face the strange woman who could write "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight," what kind of face the strange woman looked.
"No, Your Majesty, this is very inappropriate." Seeing this, Horiguchi Daiki hurriedly retorted, this can be regarded as a guest invited by his family, the higher the courtesy, the greater the influence on his family's political arena, how could he not know this.
"Why not?" Someone shouted loudly, this person is the opponent of the Horiguchi family, called Tokuji Tatsuya, and he is also a big man, and he is Horiguchi Daiki's rival, how can he not know that Horiguchi Daiki's heart is Xiao Jiujiu, and he will definitely not let him get his wish.
Horiguchi Daiki looked at the person who spoke coldly, and then said: "Xiao'er has written very clearly in the letter, first of all, Mr. Fuhu is indeed descended to earth for Xingjun, which I believe many people have heard. ”
With these words, the people around nodded their heads, and their sons and nephews in Da Chu would write some major news about what happened in Da Chu into letters and send them back, including the affairs of Cao Yan's family.
"And the most amazing thing, the giant ship they took this time, I heard Xiao'er say, the giant ship was all made of steel, and it was brought down from the sky by Mr. Fuhu, and that's what Xiao'er said, he went to the sea to kill a giant kun, which is said to be more than ten zhang long, and the flesh and bones of the kun were distributed by him to the people of the entire Jiangning Mansion for consumption, you can imagine, the giant kun is so big, and the ship is bigger than the giant kun, the messenger of the subordinates said that when the ship appeared at the Osaka dock, even the dock guards were frightened away and did not dare to approach, And the people were all frightened to flee the docks, such a god-like figure, if not taken seriously, once he got angry, I am afraid that it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. After Horiguchi finished speaking, he prostrated down again.
"Is there such a thing? Your Majesty, please lend a letter to the old minister to read......" An old minister asked Emperor Hiba.
"Hmm!"
When the letter was passed around, no one spoke, because if all this was true, then the matter must be as serious as Horiguchi Daiki said.
"Did the messenger from your house bring it?"
"Bring it, just wait outside the temple."
"Xuan in." Emperor Feiyu waved his hand and said.
When the messenger has told him what he has seen and heard.
The entire chamber fell into a deathly silence.
