Ding Yi's Struggle (l6)
Venice was not the only city at this time, Verona had been loyal to Venice decades earlier, and Padua was under its control. Fighting against Ding Yi's Aegean Fleet was the Venetian galleon, and if you count the small ships, it is said that Venice had a fleet of 3,300 ships [but less than 40,000 men].
But at this time, in the face of Qian Chujiu's request full of squirrel, the blue tendons on the forehead of the Governor of Venice burst out, he was like an angry bull, his nostrils were panting, and his fists were even more pinched to the point that the joints were white. No father is willing to give away his daughter like this.
"If you try to hit me, I'll cry." Qian Chujiu shook off the folding fan, fanned it in this late autumn, took the fruit on the table and threw it into his mouth casually, casually as if it was in his own home, not the Venetian governor's palace, "Yes, I really cry, I'm not strong, you know?" β
"Because the people who are sent to Venice don't need to be strong or so on, good qualities. Otherwise, it wouldn't be me, I'm a good-for-nothing kid, and if my only merit is to confess enough. Qian Chujiu commented on himself without shame.
The Doge of Venice slowly calmed down in his words, at least he relaxed his clenched fists, and his face was not as distorted as before: "Your Excellency, I am not disrespectful, if you don't mind, I will prepare for you a few beautiful maidens, they are all virgins, and ......"
He didn't say any more, because Qian Chujiu stood up and walked in front of him. With that folding fan, he gently slapped the face of the Doge of Venice: "I am a waste." That's right, but I'm the most favored student of His Majesty. The only student of the British Commonwealth of the Ming Dynasty. β
"His Majesty asked Mehmed II to hand over a hand, and he returned to Osman, and Mehmed II chose to draw his sword."
"What is the result, I think the envoy you sent to Paris to watch the ceremony, maybe you didn't come back when you sent the fleet, and should have rushed back now?"
"I don't want to hear a refusal when I make a request, do you understand, Your Excellency?"
The guards of the Doge of Venice rushed forward. Cao Jixiang smiled and didn't mean to do anything at all, and Qian Chujiu, who was holding a paper fan and slapping the face of the governor of Venice, also turned a blind eye to such angry King Kong guards and the swords in their hands.
The Doge of Venice hastily stretched out his hand to stop the guards. If he had the courage to make a move against Qian Chujiu, if he had the courage to burn jade, he should have attacked as soon as the envoy of the Western Ming Dynasty came ashore, and then met the cannon fire that destroyed him. It's obvious. He didn't have it from the beginning.
"I'm such a gentleman, do I need to come to you and ask for a beautiful woman? Your Excellency, are you trying to draw your sword on me? Just as Mehmed II drew his sword to His Majesty? What kind of ending are you looking forward to? I'm threatening you, understand? I'm threatening you. Please recognize this, it's rude. β
Then Qian Chujiu turned around and sat down again. As this qiΔ did not happen.
It's just that the face of the Doge of Venice was photographed with a red mark by a folding fan. It hasn't subsided yet, witnessing a scene that just happened.
"Please wait. Excellency. The Doge of Venice almost squeezed a sentence from between his teeth, and hurried away.
Cao Jixiang looked at Qian Chujiu's eyes, unconsciously, but he paid a little more attention, he didn't expect Qian Chujiu to be able to do this, at this time he couldn't help but sigh: "Even if it's just a gentleman, it's always His Majesty's apprentice!" β
"Come here." Qian Chujiu did put a lot of effort into foreign languages for his plan to soak up the world's beauties, he beckoned to one of the guards and motioned for him to come over, "You were angry just now?" I feel like you're trying to kill me, you know? It scared me, and if I was scared, I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. As he spoke, he touched his double chin, "If you don't sleep well, your skin will deteriorate." β
In every country, there are cowardly people, and there are also warriors who are not afraid of death, at least this guardian is the latter.
"I'm going to ...... you," he said, dropping his gloves.
"Wait a minute." Qian Chujiu smiled and asked him, "If my words make you angry, I can apologize." β
"But it's best if you make sure you have any siblings? Parents? Wife? Lover? Child? Well, if anything, before we start the duel, I promise to get them all there, I mean their heads. Do you know I can do it, or your governor, or duke? You don't have to hold back his anger so much, do you? Well, if you want, you can throw down your gloves and issue an invitation to a duel. β
"You're so mean!" The guard cursed angrily, but he couldn't throw the glove down anyway.
"Listen to me, you've scared me, and you've got to make amends. No, no, I don't like men, you don't have to worry about that, I need an attendant, um, full of blood and courage, yes, just like you, understand? Be my squire, and I can forgive you for the question of staring at me and making me frightened. β
"Don't rush to refuse, if you agree. I can promise to make your wife ...... You don't have a wife? Well, your lover, well, your lover can also become a citizen of the Ximing Empire, then, you will no longer be threatened like this, and no one can provoke the Ximing Empire without punishment. That's it. β
The guard was stunned for a moment, was silent for a long time, and said, "What if I refuse?" β
"Then kill yourself, friend, I think it's the best ending for you and the people you care about. By the way, please poke yourself in the eyes before committing suicide, thank you. Qian Chujiu smiled and patted the other party's shoulder armor with a folding fan, and then sat down.
"I accept." The guard did not hesitate for long, because he simply had no choice.
Qian Chujiu signaled to Cao Jixiang, and the latter asked the guard to take his fiancΓ©e to the port: "Wait a minute, let's follow the Ninth Young Master to the boat." You're a lucky man, boy, and I'm serious, think about it. The guard had obviously not yet turned his mind, but many of his colleagues had congratulated him when he had asked someone to take his fiancΓ©e to the port, for not everyone was as dead and brave as he was.
The Governor returned, with a crying, red-eyed maiden, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
As the governor of Venice as his father, if his eyes could kill, Qian Chujiu would have been delayed.
"Your Excellency, as you wish." The governor dragged his daughter to Qian Chujiu, then sat down in a chair and buried his face in his knees. He couldn't even protect his own daughter, yes, and he had to, or the other nobles would kill him before Simin's artillery fire flooded Venice.
"Giuseppe." Qian Chujiu called the name of the guard who had just become his attendant, pointed to the girl in front of him and asked, "It's time to test your loyalty." Sue me, is this the most beautiful daughter of the Governor? You have to think clearly before you answer, I'm a piece of crap, I can't stand any blows, especially deception, you have to understand that. β
The guard standing behind Qian Chujiu hesitated for a moment, and finally gave an answer: "No, her sister is more beautiful than her, but she is already married." β
"Am I here to ask for a kiss? What does it matter if you get married? β
"Your Excellency the Governor, my request to you is to ask your beautiful daughter to be your guide, not a little girl who has red eyes and has not yet grown." Qian Chujiu's round face still had that hateful smile.
Maybe after giving in the first time, the second time becomes easier.
The Governor's daughter, who had been married, was soon brought to the council chamber, and then she approached Qian Chujiu with a smile on her face.
She led Qian Chujiu and his new attendant Giuseppe, as well as Cao Jixiang, to the gondola, which was a Venetian boat.
Qian Chujiu was quite polite during the tour, and afterwards the governor's daughter commented on him: "He is a gentleman, please stop slandering that kind man." "Yes, he was courteous and gentlemanly as he could, and tried to avoid mentioning the defeat of Venice so as not to embarrass the guide.
About two hours later, Qian Chujiu offered to end the tour. When they returned directly to the council chamber, the Governor looked at his daughter in astonishment, and nothing of the ugliness he had expected had happened. And his expression made Qian Chujiu find a chance to have a seizure: "What do you think I want to do?" I just need a guide, because I'm a gentleman, so I want this guide to be pretty. Qian Chujiu looked at the Doge of Venice in surprise, and pointed at him with the folding fan in his hand, "Why do you have such an expression?" What kind of people do you imagine the Ximing Empire to be? Ridiculous! β
"Listen, for the sake of this beautiful lady, the indemnity can be reduced to seven million silver." Qian Chujiu said matter-of-factly.
And this was the second piece of news that made the Doge of Venice and the nobles in the council chamber overjoyed. Some nobles could not help but ask: "Your Excellency, can Venice have the pleasure of visiting for a few more days?" "One million taels of silver in two hours! Let this fat boy tour until tomorrow, will Venice be able to save this money?
At this time, not to mention the other nobles, even the Doge of Venice, holding his daughter's hand, was also so excited that he couldn't speak.
Cao Jixiang felt that he must have a different vision of the Ninth Young Master.
Because he could see what Qian Chujiu was doing.
He wanted to make the Venetian nobles accustomed to obedience and to receiving rewards.
Maybe he is a gentleman, but he is the son of Ding Yi, he does not tame dogs, he tame the governor of the enemy country. (To be continued......)
