Chapter Ninety-Three: Tangled in the Chart to Make a Deal
Since Li Mi decided to come to ask Zhou Yu for help, he had already been mentally prepared, even if Zhou Yu was sneering, he could only endure it silently.
In fact, Li Mi himself has already noticed that although there are occasional recklessness in Pingsuli, Li Mi is quite calm, even if his temper explodes, it is within a controllable range, and he has a solid prediction of the follow-up development and results.
But after meeting this Zhou Yu, Li Mi was often provoked by him, and always made some actions that did not conform to his own personality and style, obviously he already knew that this was Zhou Yu's trick, but many times he just couldn't bear it.
This may also be Zhou Yu's cleverness, whether it is reasonable or unexpected, he can always control the initiative unconsciously.
Knowledge can be stored, skills can be learned, but this kind of means is talent, and you can't learn anything.
Perhaps it is precisely because of such a natural ability and temperament that it is difficult to distinguish between Zhou Yu's truth and falsehood.
Li Mi has never given up, and when the matter of the widow is settled, sooner or later, he will definitely find out the details of Zhou Yu!
It's just that right now, Li Mi has a request for him, and he can only endure it.
Zhou Yu is such a high-ranking person, how can he try to be quick for a while, if it were someone else, he would not be like this, but this person is just Li Mi.
Zhou Yu actually has the same feelings about Li Mi, others are in his eyes, but he knows too many secrets about the dolls at will, he has insight into people's hearts, he can play with these people between applause, but not for Li Mi.
This little catcher has a big secret on his body, and he seems to have a black halo on his body, which makes him unpredictable.
If it weren't for Li Mi's shot, which thwarted his plan, the tragedy of the massacre would have been staged again in the Juyi Hall of Po Longqi, and this time the target was the feudal officials and many civil and military officials!
These people are all fox spirits, all of them are treacherous and treacherous, if you talk about the Taoism in the officialdom, they are definitely several floors higher than Li Mi.
Such a person can only manipulate and play with others, how can he play with others?
It is precisely because of this that playing these people around will bring him Zhou Yu a great sense of satisfaction and achievement.
However, all of this was ruined by Li Mi.
Zhou Yu is really strong, but Li Mi still maintains his determination, and sooner or later he will investigate his details, but Zhou Yu doesn't even have the confidence to investigate Li Mi's details!
It is said that the two are also "of unknown origin", and they are also homeless, and they can't even find out their serious origins.
But Li Mi's conversation with him that night, a world a thousand years ago, and a world a thousand years later, collided with each other, Zhou Yu was completely defeated!
In the world thousands of years ago, there were history books and legends, but in a thousand years later, who knows what the world will be like?
He Zhou Yu gave Li Mi a shocking puzzle, but Li Mi also threw back a puzzle that is unique in the world!
Perhaps it is precisely this reason that makes him feel uneasy while controlling Li Mi's mood, and he will also be affected by Li Mi.
As Li Mi thought, he Zhou Yu is not a boring person, and the things that take advantage of him are just a momentary pleasure.
After the taunt, Zhou Yu pushed the chair with his feet, and Li Mi sat down unceremoniously, took out the chart of the black stone clams from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhou Yu.
"What do you get in exchange?"
Talking to smart people is easy and pleasant, Zhou Yu obviously knows the whole thing well, and he knows Li Mi's intentions even better!
Li Mi has already considered this problem, Zhou Yu does not deal with him, so it is naturally impossible to help for free, even if he also hates the Japanese Kou, but he will definitely take the opportunity to knock Li Mi a hand.
It's just that what else is worth exchanging on Li Mi?
Now Li Mi has to say that it is valuable, the fetal knife of Shenlu Palace is the same, the smoking gun is the same, the antique musket is the same, and Qi Yin's saber is the same, in addition, Li Mi really can't think of other valuable things.
Besides, how could a god like Zhou Yu look at these mundane things?
Of course, not only physical objects are valuable, but also human resources or brain knowledge have value, but it is not easy to estimate.
Zhou Yu was refreshing and straightforward, and Li Mi also went straight to him, and replied to him: "Just say what you want." ”
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Refreshing! ”
As soon as he said this, he leaned forward and pressed towards Li Mi, and then stared at Li Mi, almost saying word by word.
"I want those shoes under your feet!"
Li Mi was stunned for a moment, but soon became uneasy!
This pair of leather shoes is the only thing left by Li Mi in later generations, and he doesn't feel that he was backward in ancient times, and leather shoes have been there for a long time, but the shape and workmanship are different from later generations.
After so many bumps and treks, these leather shoes were covered with dust and frost, and from the outside, there was almost nothing unusual to see.
However, Li Mi knew very well that these leather shoes were raw rubber soles, and the number of yards was printed on the inside of the upper, which was Arabic numerals!
In addition to that, it is printed in simplified Chinese and English, as well as things like logos!
In fact, the Ming Dynasty had frequent foreign exchanges, and foreign missionaries such as Matteo Ricci and Guo Jujing had become famous, and the number of Catholics gradually increased, and they even wanted to build a Western-style Church of the Immaculate Conception in Nanjing, which is a Catholic church!
Therefore, English should not be a strange thing for some open Ming literati.
Of course, in addition to these foreign missionaries, there were also seafaring adventurers, yearning for the golden world of the East, who came to the Ming Dynasty to trade.
The people of the Ming Dynasty didn't know much about these red-haired ghosts, whether it was Italian or Portuguese, many of them were mistakenly called Franco.
Under the current environment, in fact, these foreigners in the Ming Dynasty, prefer to use Latin, and Latin is also a script that Western religious missionaries must master, proficient in Latin, once the standard configuration of Western aristocracy, those ancient Western families, often need to learn Latin from an early age, Latin has also become the common language and script of the West.
Li Mi didn't know much about this, but he also knew that in this Wanli year, the official of the Ming Rites Department named Xu Guangqi estimated that he had already begun to translate some scientific books in the West.
As for Arabic numerals, in fact, they have been introduced to China in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but I am a talent in China, and I prefer to use a full range of calculations, and only a few people know Arabic numerals.
But it is not surprising that a person as knowledgeable as Zhou Yu has seen Arabic numerals and English, and what really worries Li Mi is the printing technology of these words on the upper, as well as those simplified characters!
These things are too advanced for this era, and it is impossible for Zhou Yu not to see them!
Although Li Mi is just a fast catcher, there are indeed not many good things on his body, not to mention anything else, it is Qi Yin's Qi family knife, which even slashes the Heavenly Sword, which shows that it is a rare knife in the world!
Since the loss of the Tang sword, the ancient Chinese sword casting technology began to decline, and it is rolling downhill, that is, the Qi family knife, and there is also a suspicion of borrowing from the Japanese sword.
Under such circumstances, the knife on Li Mi's body is definitely a rare treasure knife!
Daming musket technology has led the world, but the Shenji Battalion is still equipped with arquebuses, and the flintlock pistol in Li Mi's hand is definitely a rare treasure!
But Zhou Yu only wants Li Mi's broken shoes on his feet, so how can Li Mi feel at ease?
As said before, Li Mi always wanted to find out Zhou Yu's true identity and origin, and Zhou Yu didn't have the same idea?
Li Mi also mocked at this time: "The taste of the Metropolitan Governor is really different, and ordinary people can't reach it, so it's just a pair of broken shoes, and I'm happy to do it, but these shoes are dirty and smelly, and when I wash them, I'll send them to you immediately." ”
Zhou Yu also smiled gloomily and said to Li Mi: "No need to wash it, take it off now." ”
Seeing this, Li Mi thought that the life and death of the coastal people were important, and he could only compromise.
He thought that Zhou Yu would get to the bottom of it, he had already thought of countermeasures, if he asked about these details, Li Mi had to let those missionaries carry the black cauldron, after all, Li Mi had claimed to be a good citizen of the Ryukyus earlier, and he had drifted from the sea.
However, Li Mi miscalculated again.
Because Zhou Yu didn't ask at all, but asked Qi Changkong to put away his shoes, and said to Li Mi.
"Alright, now let's talk about the charts."
If he asked, Li Mi would be relieved, but if he didn't ask, Li Mi was worried, but he couldn't take the initiative to mention it, so he was suspected of wanting to cover up.
Although Zhou Yu has agreed to help, Li Mi is not happy at all, which is why Li Mi does not like to deal with Zhou Yu, this person can always easily affect your mood, shatter your psychological defense, and make you unable to cope.
However, Li Mi's biggest secret is not so easy to understand, even if Li Mi says that he is a person a thousand years later, others will only regard him as a madman, or just those prophets of the cult.
Zhou Yu is not very human, in order to confuse him, Li Mi once mentioned to him the scene of the afterlife, and at this time, he swept away the distracting thoughts in his heart and concentrated his energy on the matter of the chart.
Zhou Yu saw Li Mi's expectant face, so he said to Qi Changkong: "Changkong, go and invite all the adults over, and if you want to talk horizontally and vertically, it is better to finish it at once, so as to save yourself from asking many questions one by one, it is really annoying." ”
Qi Changkong nodded, looked at Li Mi, picked up the shoe box, and was about to leave, Zhou Yu instructed again: "By the way, by the way, let them prepare a ping of Go and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
After Qi Changkong left, Li Mi and Zhou Yu were left, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward.
However, Zhou Yu's actions surprised Li Mi again, because he took out the tobacco from the cigarette pouch, and then took out a piece of rice paper, and actually rolled up the cigarette!
When he was smoking a cigarette with taste, Li Mi's eyes were a little dull, but Zhou Yu just gently wiped off the tobacco foam in his mouth, and then shook his head and said, "Your gold wire is too inferior..."
Li Mi saw that he exhaled the smoke gently, and then inhaled it through his nostrils, it was clearly an old smoking gun, and he asked if there was anything else he didn't know!
