Although Yan Ruwei couldn't get more flintlock pistols from Tang Ming in the end, he could complete the task with 1,000 guns, and by the way, he got rid of 30,000 guys who ate rice, and in the final analysis, he and the king were still very satisfied. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to being happy, the king set up a banquet in the harem to entertain Tang Ming, which was a friendly banquet, Tang Ming could not shirk it, and returned to his place early to wash, changed into a Hanfu and went to the banquet.

This time it was a private banquet, so no ministers were called to accompany them, only the king and Yan Ruwei, and the three of them drank freely in the pavilion in the back garden.

The king didn't know if it was because of excitement or what, after a few glasses of wine, he began to blush, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang is now unofficial and light, I don't know what to do in the future, you and I are also acquainted, what are the benefits, don't forget my big brother!" ”

This is half joking and half serious, and I don't know the true intentions of the king under the ambiguity, so I can only say haha: "The king is too elevated Tang, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty still doesn't know how to deal with me, and there is still a big battle in front of me, whether it is life or death is not known, and it is a bit exaggerated to talk about development." ”

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, the king just laughed after hearing this, and said after a while: "Others don't know about this king, but Brother Tang is the dragon and phoenix among people, and now he can make a great difference without the binding of the identity of the Marquis of Daming." It's not that the king is praising you, these are the king's heartfelt words. ”

Tang Ming quickly glanced at the king, falling into deep thought, at this moment he was not very clear about his future, as for how to go Tang Ming did not have a clear goal. But he knew that in the near future, the sea would be lively, and more and more ships from the Western countries would arrive, and then there would be another battle for hegemony in the world.

And Tang Ming had to expand his strength enough to protect himself before the advent of the Great Voyage. In the past, he was still Zhu Di's courtier, and his strength on the surface could not be expanded, at least he had to let Zhu Di know that he Tang Ming could not threaten his country. Therefore, he had to let the navy stay still, but now it was different, not only could he expand his navy with great fanfare, but he also had to be equipped with some fire gas that had been researched, such as mines and real grenades.

These have already begun to be produced in large quantities on Jeju Island, and if Zhu Di really dares to send a large army to encircle and suppress him, then Tang Ming will let Zhu Di return with his wings again. The newly developed mines can definitely be attacked head-on without the knowledge of Zhu Di's army.

These are the secrets that Tang Ming must keep now, and he naturally can't talk about it to the king in front of him, although this guy is currying favor with himself at the moment. But Tang Ming didn't really regard him as his own, and besides, the location of Luzon was destined to be the first target of the Western powers when they colonized in the future, which means that he was likely to be the king in his lifetime.

For a person who doesn't have any future, Tang Ming will definitely not waste his feelings too much on him. Moreover, Luzon must also fall, and only if Luzon is colonized by the Western powers will he have a chance to snatch it from them. It would be better to have these 30,000 young men who were his shipwrights, and then he would be able to take them back their own country with them.

The king was obviously very optimistic about Tang Ming, and seeing that he was noncommittal about his praise, he suddenly changed the topic and said, "I don't know what Brother Tang's impression of his sister is?" ”

Speaking of this, even Yan Ruwei, who had been smiling with him, rarely became serious, although he still pretended to be very casual on the surface, his gaze stayed on Tang Ming's body, paying attention to even the slightest change in expression on his face.

Tang Ming was really confused by the king, and when he talked about his trouble-making sister, although he didn't understand what he meant, he couldn't tell the truth in front of his own brother! So Tang Ming could only deal with it casually: "My sister is smart and smart, and she is a rare good woman, and it is a great pleasure for the king to have this sister!" ”

"Then I don't know if this king has promised a virtuous sister to you, what does Brother Tang think?" The king didn't give Tang Ming time to think about it at all, and casually threw out the bomb.

Tang Ming was only slightly stunned, and then hurriedly refused: "Thanks to the king, I can afford Tang, but now there are two tigresses in the family." I'm not afraid of the king's jokes, I actually still have a little bit of fear, so you see, I'm colored, but not colored, the king's kindness Tang Ming understands, let's not talk about this matter again. ”

Tang Ming claimed that he was afraid of guilt, which the king would not believe in anyway, but Tang Ming refused without even thinking about it. Yan Ruwei also saw the embarrassment of the king, and immediately said: "Why should the brother refuse in a hurry, the king is really optimistic about you so that he is willing to marry you." I'm not afraid that my brother will know, this is actually the princess is interesting to you, the last time you left, the princess has been pestering the king to ask everything about you, obviously she has love for you. This talented woman is just a good match, and it's not too late for the younger brother to wait until he goes back and think about it seriously before replying to the king. ”

Regardless of how sincere Yan Ruwei's words were, Tang Ming understood that they were going to form an alliance with him or use relatives to tie himself up. But growing up under the red flag, he always thinks that he still has to feel for love, like the princess's tricky character, Tang Ming really doesn't dare to compliment.

Lao Yan had already given him the steps to go down with the king, so naturally he couldn't categorically refuse to go down, so Tang Ming had to agree to go back and think about it. The expression on the king's face only relaxed at this time, and Lao Yan also secretly pinched his sweat, to be honest, if Tang Ming didn't agree, he wouldn't have any way.

Fortunately, Tang Ming didn't do anything wrong, and the dull atmosphere just now was also eased, and the three of them returned to drinking. No one mentioned anything that spoiled the atmosphere, and the banquet did not disperse until late at night.

Tang Ming took Lao Yan's carriage back to the post house where he stayed, and he was relatively silent along the way, and Lao Yan didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake, in short, the old guy fell asleep as soon as he got into the carriage. Regardless of whether Lao Yan was pretending or real, Tang Ming saw that he didn't bother himself, and he didn't bother to look for trouble, so he simply closed his eyes and rested.

The carriage stopped at the post house for a while, Tang Ming got out of the carriage and hurriedly met the post house and fell asleep, and when he just got off the carriage, the old eyes that had been snoring and sleeping soundly suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Tang Ming's back for a while, and then ordered the groom to rush back to his house.
