Chapter 229: The Princess's New Clothes
Li Yanghuan also has a hard time!
Jiaozhi originally attacked the city, and it was about to be taken down in one fell swoop, but who knew that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, but Angkor inserted a kick from the back of Jiaozhi at this critical moment, making Jiaozhi suffer from the enemy in the abdomen and back, and he was in a dilemma.
Now, if the border can be set up and Angkor can go home honestly, Li Yanghuan will sit firmly on the throne.
Li Yanghuan said: "The war costs the people and money, and this king has already had the intention to withdraw from the army, but Angkor suddenly sent the dragon elephant king to attack my back, causing chaos in the situation. Xiao Wang also implored His Royal Highness King Xiang to uphold justice on behalf of the Celestial Empire. ”
The Dragon Elephant King was silent, whether he was advancing or retreating, anyway, he was harmless. Jiaozhi and Champa were also powerless to bite themselves back at this time.
Qu Ping and Zhao Chengzhang looked at each other and asked, "What do you think of Jinghaihou?" ”
"Harmony naturally makes money." Zhao Chengzhang said, "The prince has the right to make decisions on behalf of the saints, and it is all up to the prince to decide. ”
Qu Ping said: "Since everyone respects my Great Song, then you might as well sell the Great Song Dynasty a face and go back to their respective homes." Angkor is blocked by the Cochin and Champa mountain ranges, and it is difficult to protect it if it rushes eastward, so it is better not to take this risk in the future, in case stealing chickens does not make rice, do you say yes? ”
The Dragon Elephant King didn't dare to say no, and lowered his head and promised: "The prince is reasonable, I will tell my lord." ”
"As for the dispute between Champa and Cochin......
Before Qu Ping finished speaking, the king of Zhancheng hurriedly said: "Lord, the realm of Zhancheng for thousands of miles must not be given up!" ”
Li Yanghuan also refused to suffer, saying: "I have lost a lot of ...... in my hand."
"I think so," Qu Ping said to the end, "although the two of you respect the Great Song Dynasty as the superior kingdom, we can't arbitrarily interfere in your internal affairs, right?" The King of Jiaozhi and the King of Champong, the two of you are fighting, and if you hurt each other, you will weigh each other. If it can be solved with money, it is naturally the best. If money can't solve the problem, whether it is land cessation or something else, you will discuss and communicate privately. What do you think of that? That's all I can do for this peace and the rest of the world. ”
Qu Ping said it lightly, whether it is losing money or cutting land, it is a huge loss for Zhancheng.
But who called him a vanquished? The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, you can't ask Jiaozhi to retire, and ask him to compensate for his losses, right?
At this point, there is no better way. The king of Champa only broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, hoping to swallow this bitter fruit, and taste his courage in the future to enhance his strength.
In addition to being a peacemaker, Qu Ping also signed a business and cultural agreement with the representatives of the three parties.
In terms of commerce and trade, it was agreed that the merchant ships of various countries would enter the Song Dynasty, how much tariffs should be paid in accordance with the agreement, and the Great Song Dynasty would have the obligation to protect the safety of merchants who came to the Song Dynasty.
In terms of culture, the Great Song Dynasty regularly sent gentlemen to the Three Kingdoms to support cultural education, and the Three Kingdoms could send students to the Great Song Dynasty every year according to the assessment, and the Great Song Dynasty would reward them according to their performance during their studies in the Song Dynasty.
In the meantime, the goods brought by the Song ship were also traded with the local area, and Qu Ping continued the next part of the trip.
There was still a headless case on the ship that had not been solved, and Qu Ping felt that it was better to be insured at sea, so as not to let the suspect run away.
Qu Ping planned to make the next stop, directly to Srivijaya.
The ship departed from port and returned to the sea.
Qu Ping looked at the vast sea and sky line in the east, where the islands of the South China Sea are located. Although it is deserted and inaccessible now, there must have been Chinese ancestors wandering here from the beginning to the end, and it has become a haven for a short time. If you don't prepare early, you will definitely be coveted by others in the future.
Qu Ping pointed to the sea area to the east and said to Zhao Chengzhang: "Chengzhang, there are hundreds of islands of different sizes in this sea area to the east, they are all places where the Chinese ancestors once measured with their footsteps, if we don't say something, I'm afraid that after a hundred years, the barbarian foreign countries will treat those islands as theirs!" ”
"How dare they have the audacity?" Zhao Chengzhang said disdainfully, "What is the idea of the prince?" ”
"The whole world is not the king's land, and you can't just shout slogans. I hope that when you return, you will arrange for someone to come and set up a stone monument on all the islands you can find, as a sign of it, as a sign of war. Not only that, but the stone monument should also be buried in the ground, in case a thief damages the stone monument on the ground and destroys the evidence, you say? ”
"The prince is thoughtful. What is engraved on the stele? Zhao Chengzhang asked.
Qu Ping pondered for a while and said: "Just engrave the words 'Huaxia Solid Soil'!" It is inherently solid, not the past! ”
Humiliation, it cannot be repeated in the future!
After so many days, the prince of Srivijaya has no whereabouts, and the murderer has not been found, Wang Tailan is worried, if he is poisoned again, it will not be the end of the game.
Wang Tailan found Qu Ping and asked, "Lord Wang, do you have any clues?" When it comes to Srivijaya, if you don't have a clue, how can the villain explain to the king? ”
Qu Ping said indifferently: "It's easy to do!" There are not many of you in Da Song, just follow us. ”
"No, my family is still in Sriwijaya, I can't run away!" Wang Tailan is embarrassed.
"Pick up your family on the boat, and I'll take you with me."
It stands to reason that this should be a pie in the sky, but Wang Tailan just didn't follow it, and asked Qu Ping to help find out the reason and find out the murderer.
Qu Ping said: "This king will try his best." ”
When Wang Tailan left, Qu Ping called Feng Chao and asked him again how Wang Tailan was and if there was anything unusual.
Feng Chao said no, except for the prince's concern, everything is normal.
Qu Ping asked in a whisper, "Have you ever seen him go to the toilet?" ”
Feng Chao thought to himself, Lord Wang, how could you have such a disgusting and vulgar thought, he said: "The last general will see what he does when he goes to the toilet, how uncivilized he is!" ”
"Then if you live together, you will always have a chance to go to the toilet together, right? I went to the toilet with Zhao Houye! Qu Ping said.
Zhao Chengzhang coughed on the side, and silently said that it was best not to involve himself on this topic, and it was rude not to say anything. Hassle-free
Feng Chao said: "Maybe we don't have the same toilet time......
Qu Ping let Feng Chao go. There is another plan in my heart, and it seems that I must use a killer move.
Qu Ping went back to tell Xiao Lu about his plan, and Xiao Lu exclaimed, "What? ”
"Shh Qu Ping motioned for her to be quiet, "You have to help me confirm my inference." ”
"Then if your reasoning is wrong, then won't I suffer?" Xiao Lu said.
Qu Ping pleaded: "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, please!" ”
"I'm your wife."
"Well, I'll make it up to you." Qu Ping smirked.
Xiao Lu agreed to Qu Ping's strong request, and the plan began to be implemented.
Qu Ping then deliberately took Feng Chao away from Wang Tailan.
Wang Tailan hadn't seen Feng Chao for an afternoon, and was worried that he wouldn't know what to say about himself at Qu Ping, so he felt that it was necessary to go to him to find out.
Before Wang Tailan passed by Xiao Lu's room, he was stopped by Xiao Lu and called him to come in and help.
Wang Tailan didn't know what the princess was doing when she told her to stop, and it was difficult to refuse, so she hesitated for a while and went in.
Xiao Lu was alone in the room, and Qu Ping took Han'er out to feed the seabirds.
Xiao Lu held a very exquisite dress, gestured on her body and said, "The king of Champa gave me a dress, but the size ratio of this dress is estimated to be made according to the figure of their locals, and I wear it a little small." It's a pity to lose it, so I wanted to try if I could make it a little bigger. ”
Wang Tailan said "oh", and said in her heart that I can't make clothes, what's the use of calling me in?
Xiao Lu continued: "I see that your figure is just a little smaller than me, you help me put on this dress, I can see what needs to be changed." ”
Wang Tailan didn't expect this request, although this dress is very beautiful, but ...... He said, "Madam...... Can...... But...... I'm a man! ”
Xiao Lu closed the door and said, "You just treat yourself as a dummy, just try it for me." Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, don't be embarrassed. ”
Wang Tailan listened to Xiao Lu's tone without doubt, so she had to take the exquisite dress in Xiao Lu's hand aggrievedly and awkwardly, hide behind the screen and put the skirt on.
He secretly admired it himself, and it was really exquisite. If you could have the opportunity to wear a beautiful dress like this, it would be beautiful, right?
Xiao Lu asked Wang Tailan to come out and turn around twice, and said with a smile: "This skirt is quite suitable for you!" ”
Wang Tailan was startled, waved her hand again and again, and said, "Madam, don't make fun of the villain, I'm a man, how can I wear a skirt?" ”
"Excited about what? Okay, don't move, I'll take a closer look at where I can change. After Xiao Lu finished speaking, she touched the sleeves of Wang Tailan's clothes and pulled her waist again.
Wang Tailan didn't feel that men and women couldn't kiss each other, and she didn't flinch.
Suddenly, Xiao Lu slid her hand to Wang Tailan's chest, and pressed hard through her clothes.
Wang Tailan was frightened, folded his hands around his chest and retreated to the wall, and said in horror: "Madam, what are you going to do?" ”
"What are you doing all that far? I see, this shoulder...... and the chest, it can be changed to a bigger one. Xiao Lu said casually, as if she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the bandeau action just now.
Wang Tailan's heart quietly calmed down, and he sighed in his heart, is the folk customs of the Great Song Dynasty so open?
"Alright! You take off your clothes and get out! Xiao Lu said.
Wang Tailan was relieved, quickly changed her clothes and ran away.
Wang Tailan was shocked in her heart, and secretly comforted herself, she shouldn't be found out of the ordinary, right?
Xiao Lu went up to the deck, ready to report to Qu Ping, and the people on the deck said that the prince took the county lord to the kitchen to see the master pickles.
"These two have a wide range of interests!" Xiao Lu thought to herself, so she went to the kitchen to find Qu Ping.
The sea food is monotonous, and the occasional pickle goes well with rice, which is extremely good.
When the bean sprouts on the boat were ripe, the head chef came to ask Qu Ping if he wanted to take out some to make pickles.
Qu Ping let him watch it himself. When Han'er heard that she was going to make pickles, she shouted to see the chef make pickles.
The head chef saw that the prince and the county master personally observed the making of pickles, like beating chicken blood, and personally operated and demonstrated from beginning to end, explaining every step with a clear eye.
The chef put the bean sprouts into the jar that had been prepared long ago and said, "All right, put the bean sprouts in, seal the mouth of the jar, and then close the lid, and pour water on the neckline of the jar to isolate the inside from the outside." Wait a little time and you'll be done! ”
Han'er asked, "Isn't it impossible to see or smell like this?" ”
"yes, because it's sealed." The head chef replied with the kindest smile on his face.
Qu Ping suddenly remembered something - could the copper drum in the messenger's room in the new Koshari be like this jar, with something pickled in it?
