Chapter 450: There Is No Free Lunch in the World

Yan Ruwei, the first minister of Luzon, was waiting at the wharf early this morning, and just an hour ago he suddenly received the news of Weihaihou's personal visit, which made him have to pay attention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The grass mustard family in the island country was wiped out, even if those difficult to deal with were beaten by Tang Ming, and now for most of the year, he has not seen the Japanese appear in the waters of Luzon.

Tang Ming's strength shocked him and the king again, the last time Tang Ming fought with the grass mustard family, fortunately, at the end, the king wisely said a few words for Tang Ming, and also chose to stand on his side. I thought that Tang Ming would come to form an alliance with them after killing the Caojiao family, but he had no news for most of the year, which made Yan Ruwei and the king very worried, and they didn't know what Tang Ming was thinking in his heart.

After Yan Ruwei suddenly heard the news of Tang Ming's arrival this morning, he immediately entered the palace and discussed with the king a little, and then decided to use the most solemn etiquette to officially meet Tang Ming. The king attaches so much importance to the relationship with Tang Ming, this is because of his flintlock pistols, the Watanabe family, the largest family in the island country, bought ten flintlock pistols from Tang Ming, I heard that this is regarded as a treasure, so that they have really stabilized their status as the largest family in the country.

The King of the Fusiliers and Yan Ruwei had also seen it with their own eyes, and Tang Ming's deeds of taking down the Cao Ke family in one fell swoop with only a hundred people holding flintlock pistols had already been brought to every country they arrived in by the ships of the maritime merchants. If it were just a rumor, the king might not have believed it, but it was his spies who told him that convinced him.

The flintlock pistol is a good thing, and this thing is unique to Tang Ming alone, so in order to achieve the goal, the king and Yan Ruwei naturally want to give Tang Ming, the master, the highest courtesy.

Yan Ruwei, who was anxiously waiting at the dock, finally saw the huge hull of the treasure ship as far as his eyes could see, and waited for a while for the treasure ship that Tang Ming was riding before slowly approaching the shore under his gaze.

Yan Ruwei tried his best to squeeze out the most enthusiastic smile on his face, and when he was confirmed, he greeted Tang Ming, who was coming off the boat, with the rising sun: "Hahaha, the arrival of the Hou Ye made my Luzon Kingdom shine, the last time I said goodbye was half a year, and now I can see the majesty of the Hou Ye again, this is a great joy!" ”

Tang Ming pouted directly, this old face is not a person who can pat on the back at first glance, the old guy just said that, and the smile on his face is too fake. I believe that as long as you are not a fool or blind, you can know that he is hypocritical. No matter how dissatisfied he is with Lao Yan, he can't show it on his face.

The corners of Tang Ming's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled and said: "Okay old face, you and I are old acquaintances, you don't know what kind of virtue I am, I can avoid these vanities." How can we come here so freely, this superficial effort can be avoided. ”

"Uh......."

Yan Ruwei never expected it to be so direct, he was very embarrassed by him, although he was stingy in his heart, he couldn't get angry, he could only stand in place and smirk awkwardly.

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "Don't stand stupidly, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I came here this time to borrow troops from your king." If it's convenient, we'll find a place to talk now. ”

Yan Ruwei was stunned again, but this time he quickly reacted, led Tang Ming into the carriage, and let the pick-up team go directly to the palace and get into the carriage. Before the person could sit down, he hurriedly asked Tang Ming, "Brother, is there any trouble here?" With your strength at sea, you still need to borrow troops from us Luzon, which makes me confused! ”

There was a thick blanket in the carriage, Tang Ming changed his comfortable posture, and then said lazily: "This matter is a long story, and I will explain it to you when I meet the king in the palace." Of course, in addition to borrowing troops from you this time, there are some business matters that can be resolved by the way, after all, we have not yet reached a real trading partner, and if it goes well, I would like to take this opportunity to solve them together. ”

Tang Ming's straightforwardness made Yan Ruwei very puzzled, but Tang Ming had already said that he would inform him when he arrived at the palace, and he couldn't ask again, so he could only put away his doubts and chat with Tang Ming about some common things. Tang was obviously very bored in this regard, and responded to Yan Ruwei without a match, and slowly the two of them fell silent.

Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was not slow, and at this time, he also arrived at the palace, and under the leadership of Yan Ruwei, Tang Ming soon saw the king who had already prepared wine and food waiting for him. stepped forward to hug his fists and laughed: "King Youlao looks up to Tang so much, and he greets me with such courtesy, it's really embarrassing!" ”

The king still has the same young face, he has not seen him for most of the year, and he still maintains the same appearance as before, and almost nothing has changed. The king politely asked Tang Ming to sit at the table, and then he smiled and said: "It's rare that the Hou Ye can come here, and you are our distinguished guest of Luzon, so naturally the etiquette should be a little more thoughtful!" ”

Tang Ming waved his hand at the king and said: "The king still doesn't call Tang the marquis, this high hat was just taken off by the emperor not long ago, and now I have nothing to do." ”

"Oh!"

The king was very surprised that he was interested in Tang Ming's words, and hurriedly asked: "What actually made Brother Tang lose the identity of the marquis, I don't know if I can tell you one or two." ”

With such an obvious gossip face, Tang Ming suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, but after all, it was he who had a request for others, so he said very simply: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, I believe that it will not be long before the maritime merchants of Daming will spread my news to every corner where they arrive." ”

If you want to say something disgraceful about yourself, it really takes a little courage, Tang Ming also hesitated for a moment before he said: "Because I was plotted by someone, I was framed and charged with rebellion, so I had to quit Daming and return to my comfort zone." It's a pity that the Emperor Ming doesn't seem to be at ease with me, and he will definitely send someone to besiege my Ryukyu Island in the near future. ”

Now it was the king's turn to hesitate, and after looking at Yan Ruwei, the two seemed to have reached a consensus, and the king said: "Brother Tang is in trouble, this king can't sit idly by, and he can mention as much as he needs within his ability." But you also see that there are a lot of difficulties for my brother, the last time I saw my brother's flintlock pistol, I feel extremely powerful, I wonder if my brother can give my brother a few, it is easy to solve my curiosity.
