Handua made his way back to the Golden Horse City trembling all the way, he didn't know what awaited him, but he knew that he had not fulfilled His Majesty's mission.

He failed.

Just one sentence of Liu Yong's verbal commitment is not enough.

When the king saw Handua's decaying look, he guessed the seriousness of the problem.

"Did you give Lion City Island to Liu Yong for nothing? Isn't it? His Majesty asked.

Handuya stood in the middle, on both sides were ministers, and the ministers were watching jokes, negotiating the jokes of Ambassador Handuya. Let you be reckless, let you be sassy. Haha, this time I saw the coffin, right? Ha ha.

Faced with His Majesty's questioning, Handua had no choice but to nod.

Then His Majesty nodded his head, but let out a long sigh.

"Hey! What a world of impermanence! The king sighed, and asked Handua again, "Then Liu Yong must have signed the contract?" ”

Handua's face became even more ugly, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

The king immediately understood that this guy probably didn't even have a contract. He suddenly became angry and shouted: "You are dumb, what do I ask you?" ”

The frightened Handua hit a big spirit.

"Speak...... the king shouted, standing up.

Han Tuya had no choice but to nod.

"I didn't ask you to nod, I let you speak......" The king continued to shout angrily.

Han Duya fell to his knees and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I can't help it, you haven't seen the power of Liu Yong's artillery!" One shot can flatten a mountain. Just our Golden Horse City, we only need three guns to solve the problem. What do you think I can do? ”

After hearing Handua's words, the king's body sank and he sat down on the futon.

Handua continued: "But please rest assured, Your Majesty, that Liu Yong has verbally promised that he will not come to attack us. He also said that they had another sentence in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse. ”

Hearing this, the king suddenly raised his head and asked, "Does the Great Song really have this sentence?" What does that mean? ”

At this time, a minister got up and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty does have such a saying, which means that as long as you are a gentleman, what you say counts." Even four horses can't pull it. ”

After listening to the minister's explanation, the king felt a little relieved.

However, when he thought of the artillery in Liu Yong's hand, he was afraid. This little bit of his army can't resist no matter what.

Thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "Then is Liu Yong a gentleman?" ”

The ministers who asked only one sentence were blindfolded. All thought: Yes, is Liu Yong a gentleman?

Then the ministers began to discuss, and there was not a single idea;

Han Duya said: "Your Majesty, I think Liu Yong is a gentleman. ”

"Tell me about it." At this moment, the king is most concerned about this issue, if Liu Yong is a gentleman, then he doesn't have to worry too much, if not, then he will worry every day.

"I think Liu Yong is not a gentleman, because this person looks above board!" Handua said.

The king couldn't be happy when he heard Han Duya's words, so he asked, "Han Duya, Liu Yongdu used force to intimidate us to get an island for nothing, and you still say that he is above board?" ”

It is, it is. There was a discussion among the ministers below.

Han Duya said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, Liu Yongke first proposed to buy it with gold, but we didn't sell him so we had to make this decision. To put it this way, it's us who did the wrong thing! And Liu Yong also said that we will be close neighbors in the future, and we will get along very well! ”

After hearing this, the king frowned and nodded, whether Liu Yong is a righteous man or not, only God knows.

Then I heard Handua continue: "Your Majesty, since Liu Yong said that we are close neighbors and we want to get along well, then why don't we get along with him very well?" On the day when Liu Yongluo sits on Lion City Island, can we also go and send congratulatory gifts? It would be better if His Majesty the King could come out in person. ”

The king listened to Han Duya's words and felt that it was still very reasonable, but he was the king of a dignified country, and Liu Yong was just an island owner, with a huge difference in status and status, so he didn't say that he could bend to go?

It's not right, it's absolutely not right.

When the king thought this, another minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what Handua said makes sense, and on the day when Liu Yong sits down on the island, His Majesty the King can personally go and send congratulatory gifts, so that we can be regarded as close neighbors." Moreover, it is not for nothing that Liu Yong got the Lion City Island, didn't he give His Majesty the King a thousand taels of gold. ”

Hearing this, the king nodded and said, "Well, there is some truth in what you said, even if that Lion City Island sells for a thousand taels of gold, it will not be a loss, anyway, the annual tribute of that small island is not much." ”

"Ahem! Your Majesty, it's not much, it's just a disgrace. I, Handua, manage the finances, and I know best how much money is paid on the island of Lion City. It's less than a hundred taels of gold a year. The 1,000 taels of gold given by Liu Yong is the annual payment of more than ten years on Lion City Island. In this way, His Majesty the King still earns it. ”

Handua said with a grin, because he knew that he would not be punished again.

In any case, what the king was thinking about now was how to get on good terms with Liu Yong, so that he would not bombard himself with cannons.

……

Twenty days passed, and Liu Yong took 2,000 soldiers and 20 artillery pieces and landed on Lion City Island.

Standing in the tower of the city hall, Liu Yong was ecstatic, the Lion City of the future generations is now my Liu Yong's. I want to build this place and make it a permanent place for me and my descendants.

Su Erniang and Yun'er were also very happy, because this was their home. But they still like Lin'an. However, it can be used as a place for holiday travel, which is also good.

Liu Yong immediately arranged for the 2,000 soldiers to be stationed on Shicheng Island, but this was temporary, and he had to return to the Great Song Dynasty to transfer another 5,000 men and horses to completely defend the entire island. He also had to set up forts on all sides of the island so that he would be safe.

Most of the inhabitants of the island have migrated to Malay Island, but some are reluctant to leave their homes, especially some fishermen, who look like about three or four hundred people, and when they learned that Liu Yong had set foot on the island, they immediately came to worship the new owner, and Liu Yong also accepted them and let them continue with their previous lives. And let them not have to pay taxes for the time being, and make these people happy.

Liu Yong spent three days looking at the entire Lion City Island. Set against the backdrop of Malay Island and facing the sea, this is definitely a treasure trove of feng shui.
