In the face of Mehmed II's extremely rude words, Cao Jixiang did not retort, but took a roll of carpet from the hands of the two guards behind him, threw it on the ground, and said to Mehmed II: "The barbarian king is disrespectful? Hmph, it's good to do it yourself, don't say it's unpredictable! Then he left with two guards.

And when Mehmed II's men were about to throw the carpet away, their caliph called out: "Wait, bring it up and show me." Because the carpet was familiar to him, and when his men brought it to him, Muhammad II recognized it. Yes, this is the carpet he gave to the officers of the garrison of Brusa.

Even if Mehmed II was the lord of the Ottoman generation, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

What is this concept? This is Brusa has fallen into the hands of Ding Yi! The former capital of the Ottomans, the garrison officials who had been given important duties by Mehmed II, could not keep his carpet! And Ding Yineng sent someone to throw this carpet here, which shows that he knows what the meaning of this carpet contains - so it seems that the possibility of the garrison officer being captured is extremely high.

"Caliph, Poseidon begged to live for twelve more days......" said his generals with a mocking tone.

But before he could finish, "Smack! A resounding slap directly pulled out his subsequent words.

Mehmed II's face became ugly: "It's not that he wants to beg for twelve days, but that within twelve days, our messenger should be able to deliver the news to Paris!" "The land route is far less convenient than the sea route, especially the Mediterranean Sea has become the bathtub of the Western Ming Empire, and it is under the absolute control of the fleet under Ding Yi.

Ding Yi's meaning is obvious. That is, Brusa has already been captured, if Mehmed II does not believe it. Then in no more than twelve days, the messengers from within the Ottoman country will arrive. I'll report the situation to him! The subordinate who was slapped so that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he was also a favored minister, covering his mouth and saying in disbelief: "This, how is this possible? And even if Brusa falls, what does it have to do with the caliph slashing Poseidon? ”

"Smack!" Another slap in the face on the other side of him, this time Muhammad II was so angry that he directly slapped out one of his teeth, "He left Smyrna." His army can still capture Brusa, and he's showing me that he's chosen heir! Even if he falls in the dueling arena, the Ximing Empire will not collapse! Stupidity! You are more stupid than that unclean creature! If that's true, of course I can still kill him in the dueling ring, yes, he's going to die, he's a hero, his hero's blood. Teach him that he can't back down, that he's going to die in the dueling ring, but what's the point? ”

Mehmed II almost roared out of rage, because he was a male lord. Because he understands military affairs, he can see the stakes at a glance: "If the Western Ming Empire can still capture Brusa without Poseidon." Then when Poseidon died, in the name of revenge. They will attack the Ottomans even more frantically. Even the Ming Dynasty in the far east, after getting this news. It's hard to say whether they will send troops to support, you know, according to Shi Pu, in that huge empire, Poseidon is their military soul! ”

To be fair, Muhammad II was much more resolute and skilled than Ding Yi in many aspects of politics, such as the manipulation of power, the weighing of interests, and so on. He is more like a political character, and Ding Yi, as he said, is a hero, at least as he looks.

So Mehmed II quickly had a decision: "Send someone to the notary, Poseidon, and ask to postpone the second duel until twelve days later." Congratulate Poseidon on his first victory, and give him the manor near Paris. Whether he agreed or not, agreed to postpone the duel. "He used his own mind to figure out Ding Yi. Because he rejected Cao Jixiang just now, he felt that Ding Yi might regret it.

As for proposing to postpone the duel, will such a faceless thing damage your reputation?

Mehmed II did not think at all, a mature political figure, he only thought about the gains and losses of interests. He is not Ding Yi, as he said, there is not so much heroic blood. Moreover, in the opinion of Muhammad II, there is not much difference between killing Ding Yi now and killing Ding Yi twelve days later.

In fact, Ding Yi did not have as many changes or temporary changes as Muhammad II had expected, and he readily agreed to the request of the messenger sent by Mehmed II. And after this matter was announced by Cardinal Louis XI as a notary, everyone felt: "Poseidon has escaped for the time being!" "What a miracle, what made Mehmed II offer to postpone the duel?" Maybe only God Almighty can do it! "Yes, Poseidon is really a saint favored by God!" So much so that miracles were shown to him again and again! ”

"But what about twelve days from now?" The count, who had come from Sicily, asked the Holy Roman baron, who was still haunting him, "Unless there is another miracle, it will be irreversible for Poseidon to die by the sword of Mehmed II." So what's the point of these twelve days? ”

The baron frowned and said, "If it is shown again and again, is it still a miracle?" ”

"So you know that, too?" With a slight taunt, the Count bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I beg your pardon, I'm going to forgive." "As the duel dragged on, everyone began to leave, and it was evident that the Count from the Kingdom of Sicily had taken a certain noblewoman, and he was anxious to arrange for his wife to be sent back to the hotel, and then to the appointment of the beautie.

"No, I won't allow you to see Poseidon again." King Louis XI of France, sent someone to block Princess Anna back, "the duel has begun, and now there is an unexpected situation, and for some reason, Mehmed II offered to postpone the second duel." Unclear, the situation is very uncertain, our agreement with the Ottomans is nearing the end, as a quasi-ally, you, as the princess of France, should not release some signals at this time to make the situation even more confusing. ”

Princess Anna nodded, "As you wish, father." ”

She's not a little girl, she knows what she has on her shoulders; She's not a rebellious Isabella either, she's a much-admired lady of France. So at last she kept her church-like appearance, saluted Louis XI, and returned to her room.

The fact is that Ding Yi doesn't have time to see her now, no matter how he falls in love with her.

Because after the fleet landed, several groups of messengers came from the land, and no matter which one was pulled, Ding Yi had to meet and deal with it immediately. "Give me good news." After Ding Yi returned to the Duyin Hotel, he rubbed his temples and said to Cao Jixiang, the problem of the re-entry spring, as well as the death of Li Jiangtou, are very heavy blows to Ding Yi.

So he needed good news.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. In fact, in addition to the report, there was also a group of engineers from the Guinean side. Cao Jixiang thought for a moment and reported to Ding Yi, "Maybe you summoned me?" The leader is the widow of Chief Engineer Li. Because Ding Yi said that the future affairs of Craftsman Li had to be handled in a high-profile manner, Cao Jixiang would specifically mention it.

Ding narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Where are there so many rules?" The sister-in-law of the Li family is here, hurry up and invite her over! Back then, in Goldfish Hutong and Rongcheng, how many times did Li Jiangtou spray wildly, but sister-in-law Li ripped him away. Besides, a lot of mechanical things are hung with the name of Craftsman Li, in fact, I know, they are all sister-in-law Li's thoughts! ”

So Cao Jixiang hurriedly went to arrange, although Ding Yi talked about how it was back then, but after all, it was not that year.

If it weren't for Ding Yi's proposal, he would have to handle the affairs of Li Craftsman well, but I am afraid that these engineers from Guinea would not know when they would be able to see Ding Yi! Because the other few pulls, whether they come from or have affairs, they are much bigger than here.

When Sister-in-law Li saw Ding Yi, she didn't know how to salute, and she was a little at a loss. Because although Cao Jixiang told them etiquette, when she saw Ding Yi, Sister-in-law Li habitually squatted with her hands forked and said, "Sir." Then the tears flowed.

However, a few engineers on the side who were about to bow down according to Cao Jixiang's teachings were stunned.

Ding Yi went up to help Sister-in-law Li sit down, but asked the engineers, "From Rongcheng Academy?" You are the apprentice who followed Craftsman Li in Wang Gong's factory, right? What about you? Is it from Nanjing? I remember that when the fleet went for repairs ten years ago, Craftsman Li specifically mentioned to me that he wanted to transfer you; You're Big Brother Li's third son, right? Well, when I was a child, I hugged you and on me! Everyone sits, everyone sits, and the family is impermanent. ”

After a series of questions, these engineers couldn't help but burst into tears, they didn't expect that Ding Yi would even remember their origins one by one in his heart. This is Ding's habit, basically people who have intersected, he can roughly come up with a context.

"Sister-in-law, mourning, it's not good for me, too much work is piled up on Brother Li, and this is just the prime of life. Ding Yi, I'm sorry for you! As he spoke, Ding Yi threw himself to Sister-in-law Li.

Frightened, sister-in-law Li hurriedly helped Ding Yi up, she had always known how to advance and retreat, but it was just a momentary gaffe just now.

"Sir, no, Your Majesty, you can't do this, you can't afford it!"

Ding Yi didn't follow her, helped her to sit down, shook his head and said, "What's not to be afraid of?" Back then, it was good to let you and Brother Li call me by my name, but you didn't listen, and they always learned to call Mr. with Hu Shan. After so many years, I'm used to it, so don't change your words, sister-in-law, you also have wrinkles. ”

Unexpectedly, such a sentence led to many things in the industry. (To be continued......)
