Chapter 295: The International Liar (I)
The seawall was quiet, and there were waves crashing on the shore, making a rhythmic rattling sound.
Chen Ke and Liu Yue'e walked side by side on the soft sand, it was not right to say that they were side by side, Xu was a matter of habit, Xu was unwilling to get too close to him, Liu Yue'e was always a little behind Chen Ke.
These days, the two are almost inseparable. Most of the time, Liu Yue'e was like a shadow, silently following behind Chen Ke, vigilantly watching every move around her. She almost never took the initiative to speak, and only when Chen Ke made her anxious, she would threaten him 'viciously'.
"Can I make a small request for such a beautiful night?" Chen Ke held a small silver wine jug in his hand, which contained his self-brewed peach kernel wine, which was slightly bitter, with a light bitter aroma of peach kernels, but it smelled bitter but very light.
This wine is most suitable for strolling in the cool night breeze, holding a pot, making people forget their worries: "Yue'e, you should return to women's clothes." I don't want to be misunderstood, thinking that we have a good sleeve. ”
"Who has a good ...... with you" Liu Yue'e was still a little moved when she heard the first half of his sentence, and as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, she was depressed, and said that the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and as soon as he opens his mouth, any atmosphere can be destroyed......
"Hehe...... Chen Ke knew that he would be beaten if he went too far, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "When I was talking to Old Man Wang, I saw that you were flattering to me, but I had something to say to me." ”
"Who flattered ......" Liu Yue'e said depressedly: "I'm reminding you." Beware of people dying for money and birds dying for food. ”
"Where do you start?" Chen Ke said in surprise: "I'm a notoriously notoriously don't love money, don't you know, Yue'e?" ”
"Then why do you still want to contract Qinzhou Port?" Liu Yue'e sneered: "I bet that you will definitely not be kind enough to benefit the Guangxi government, and the big head will definitely let you earn it!" ”
"You see through this?" Chen Ke's eyes widened and said, "Don't I have no secrets?" ”
"Speak seriously,......" Liu Yue'e raised her pink fist and gestured to fight.
"Yue, do you know?" Chen Ke said with a straight face: "Your action is becoming less and less deterrent, but it seems to be coquettish...... Oops, you're really fighting...... Spare your life. I'm good to say it'......"
"To put it bluntly, it's not mysterious at all." Chen Ke covered his buttocks that was almost kicked, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I partner with someone." A business engaged in maritime trade was opened. To this end, we allocated 100,000 taels of silver and sent the most capable men to broaden our horizons. But who knows. The maritime merchants there joined hands to squeeze out us, and the city department also made difficulties everywhere, so the progress was not smooth. ”
"So you want to move the business to Qinzhou?" Liu Yue'e stared at a pair of dark eyes and said, "Doing business by yourself and collecting taxes by yourself, isn't this a prison guard stealing?" ”
"What's that?" Chen Ke scolded with a smile: "The tax that should be paid is a lot of money, I just want to give the business a good growth environment......
"Oh......" Liu Yue'e responded, and said in silence for a while: "I still think that you don't need to cause this trouble." You're not short of money. Besides, if you become a big official in the future, you can't spend millions of dollars of income every year, so why bother to provoke Han Xianggong? ”
"It's not about the money." Chen Ke shook his head and sighed lightly.
"What's that?"
"A hope."
"What hope?"
"You're still young. You'll know when you grow up. Chen Kewei laughed, and before Liu Yue'e had a seizure, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Yue'e, are you concerned about me?" ”
"Who cares about you......" Liu Yue'e was flustered for a while, but fortunately, under the moonlight, she couldn't see her pretty face clearly.
The two stopped talking. Walking quietly like this, unconsciously, walking on the trestle bridge, I heard a faint sound of silk music.
Liu Yue'e was enjoying such an elegant and pleasant night, when she suddenly heard this beautiful sound, looked closely, and found that it was from the big sea-eating ship anchored on the shore. The high cabin was brightly lit, and the people above were clearly having fun.
…,
"Let's go back." She frowned in displeasure and stopped her feet.
"You go back first." Chen Ke said with interest: "I'll go over and take a look." ”
"Lust ......," Liu Yue'e snorted softly. Whenever Chen Ke has something that he doesn't want her to get involved in...... It's usually fun-seeking...... will tear her apart. Normally, Liu Yue'e doesn't ask, she turns around and leaves, but this time she is a little worried: "These people say that they are envoys, but their origin is unknown, especially those samurai, they look very dangerous." ”
"Don't worry, there are Chen Yi and them." Chen Ke said with a smile. Chen Yi They are a group of personal guards carefully selected by Chen Ke from the bald army, they belong to the best treatment, the most thorough brainwashing, and the highest martial arts, even if Chen Ke wants to rebel, they will not hesitate to draw their swords and follow them. Naturally, their Han family names were all given by Chen Ke.
In this era, as a fan, it is a great thing to have a Han family name, and I feel like I have become a Han person, Chen Yi and others are grateful, and they are naturally more loyal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But today, Liu Yue'e didn't leave, she was worried that Chen Ke was in danger, so she insisted on following the boat: "Don't worry, I didn't see anything......"
As soon as I got close to the ship, I heard a vigilant whisper, and although I couldn't understand what was being said, the warning was still very clear.
Chen Yi and the others hurriedly surrounded Chen Ke in the middle, they still couldn't speak Chinese, Liu Yue'e revealed her stuffing as soon as she opened her mouth, so she had to be done by Chen Ke: "Tell your master, there is a guest who comes to the door." ”
After a while, several torches were lit. During the day, the young man of different races who could speak Chinese said bluntly: "My master has already slept, so you should come back tomorrow." ”
"Hahaha......" Chen Ke laughed loudly: "You won't see me tomorrow, don't regret it then." ”
"Regret, why regret?" The young man did not answer.
"I still have a few Seljuk friends," Chen Ke smiled faintly, "Don't you want to meet your old friends in a foreign country?" ”
"Seljuk ......" the young man's face changed and he dropped a sentence. You wait a minute. And he went into the cabin.
Soon. The boat board was lowered, and the young man showed his head with a smile on his face and said, "Please come up......
"My lord, beware of fraud." Chen Yi before joining the army. A seasoned hunter, he smelled danger.
"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded and strode onto the Arabian Sea ship.
Under the cold gaze of those alien warriors. Chen Ke calmly entered the cabin. The music in the cabin had stopped, and several graceful slave girls in light veils were curled up in a corner with musical instruments. The bearded man named Jabbar sat cross-legged on the Arabic-style soft couch and looked at Chen Ke with an expressionless face. The floor was covered with soft Persian carpets, and all were barefoot.
Chen Ke smiled disapprerovingly: "Is this the hospitality of the big cannibals?" ”
"When a distinguished guest comes, there is good wine, and when the enemy comes, there is a sharp edge." The Persian youth followed, and said coldly, "First of all, you must distinguish whether it is a guest or an enemy. ”
"Idiot." Chen Ke sneered: "If it was really an enemy, I would have sent troops to exterminate you guys a long time ago!" ”
The air in the cabin seemed to freeze.
Chen Ke happily clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the bearded man opposite him kept silent. The guards on both sides were tense.
"Hahahaha......" After a long silence, the bearded man burst out laughing, and when he finished laughing, his face became extremely enthusiastic. Wow, wow, wow, say a few words.
"Please sit down ......," the young man translated.
The slave girl stepped forward, prostrate on the ground to remove Chen Ke's boots, and led him to sit on another soft couch and serve sumptuous wine and food. It's just that these drinks and foods are very similar to those that Chen Ke ate at Wang Han's. Because this was originally sent by Wang Han's order...... Lord Wang really takes care of them as envoys of the Great Eat!
The music resumed, and an Arab slave girl stood up. It swirls in the small open space in the cabin. She wears a fat tube skirt underneath, but her upper body is very exposed. The silk bodice, which only covered a pair of towering tombs, exposed a snow-white belly and round shoulders. On her lotus-like arm, there was also a string of silver bells, dancing with her, shaking one after another. In the Arabic music there, it is particularly fascinating.
…,
Chen Ke enjoyed this exotic dance comfortably, the song and dance of the Song Dynasty was beautiful and elegant, unparalleled in the world, but too plain. Or is this more appetizing...... But it made Liu Yue'e despise it a lot, is this the purpose of you getting on the boat?
The young interpreter interrupted indifferently: "How can adults know the Seljuks? ”
"Hehe," Chen Ke held the tin wine glass and said with a casual smile: "I came to the court from the Great Song Dynasty, and the Seljuks came to pay tribute like you, so the official naturally knew him." ”
"Oh, when did you meet?" The young interpreter asked with concern.
"Not so long ago." Chen Ke replied lightly, his eyes glanced at the bearded man sitting on the top, and saw that his face was tight, and he knew that this guy would definitely be able to understand Chinese: "That is, last month, with you before and after." ”
"Where are they now?" The young man asked.
"Naturally, I have already gone to Beijing to worship." Chen Ke smiled: "You should also hurry up and get on the road, maybe you can have a companion when you go home." ”
"Huh." The young man smiled dryly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......"
There was silence again, but the Arab dancer was still circling there.
After a while, the bearded man said a few words to Chen Ke, and the young man translated: "My master asked, can you talk alone?" ”
Chen Ke nodded, and the two sides retreated left and right, leaving only the young man with the beard, and Chen Ke only leaving Liu Yue'e by his side-
