Li Jinglong paced left and right, and his mind was already a battle between heaven and man. On the one hand, thinking that this tribe is so close to the place where the port was built, it is better to kill the chickens and monkeys and kill them directly first, so as to ensure the peace of this port in the future.

On the other hand, they felt that the massacre was too indiscriminate and might arouse the resentment of the tribes on the island. Moreover, with his ability to lead the army, even these natives are no match for him......

After thinking about it, remembering that the fifth uncle Zhu Su once praised himself for his long sleeves and good dancing, Li Jinglong finally made up his mind: "Come on, let me pick a few rare treasures." ”

"This little grandfather personally went on a trip to find the indigenous tribes in the mountains to visit."

"This ...... Little grandfather, never! "Around him, those businessmen and the generals and guards from the Cao Guo Mansion all changed their faces in an instant." The natives were illiterate and unfaithful. How can the little grandfather's daughter risk his life? ”

"Yes, little grandfather, how noble you are, those natives are people who are outsiders, and the entire Ryukyu Island is added to one place, and there is no little grandfather and you are not valuable...... No, absolutely not! ”

"In the past, when my Daming Foundation was created, even Your Majesty once braved the rain of arrows to charge. What can I count as a prince who hasn't yet taken the knighthood? ”

Li Jinglong watched these people continue to dissuade him, knowing that they actually still regarded themselves as straw bales, and couldn't help but burst out of thin air. He angrily shook off those who were grabbing the sleeves of his robe and were about to stop him, and said loudly: "My father is not weak in his year, so he will chase after His Majesty to the north. In the first battle of Lingbei, he took the lead in charging among the ten thousand armies with the respect of the national prince, and suffered dozens of wounds, especially did not retreat. ”

"Now I'm just going to a tribe to pay a visit, and you want to stop you...... Do you want to tarnish the name of the brave martyrs of my Cao Guo Mansion? ”

Li Jinglong had a sudden attack, and those attendants and businessmen were stunned. For a long time, this little grandfather has given people the impression of a noble son who is kind to others, even if he treats the people in the house, he has never blushed. Seeing him suddenly attack this time, it was really a bit of a compelling momentum.

It was rare for Li Jinglong to make his own decisions, and he suddenly had a happy feeling in his heart. Taking advantage of this momentum, he simply brought only ten personal guards, did not wear armor, wore a moon-white robe and a folding fan, and led two boxes of gifts to the east mountain.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw several figures coming out of the shadows of the trees in the depths of the lush mountain forest. An indigenous man with a green dye on his face shouted to them, "Stop, Han Chinese. This is the territory of the Gaoshan Clan, and you outsiders will not be allowed to enter. ”

"They can speak Chinese!" Li Jinglong was taken aback, although the tone of these people was not standard, but it was undoubtedly the Chinese dialect of the Fujian accent.

Then Li Jinglong became happy and could speak Chinese, which showed that these people were not as barbaric as he originally expected, and there was a lot of room for communication.

"This eldest brother is invited, I am Li Jinglong, the prince of the Duke of Cao Guo of the Ming Dynasty, I heard that a few days ago, my subordinates accidentally disturbed the brothers of your department."

"Therefore, I have come to give you some gifts to apologize to the brothers of the Takayama Division."

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, when Li Jinglong was in Beijing, he was an eight-sided courtesan, and at this time, in the face of these ragged and dark-faced natives, he could also achieve a sincere smile on his face, and he didn't see a little disdain at all.

But the attendants behind him, in the face of these filthy natives, the vigilance and hostility on their faces were about to overflow.

Those natives are obviously used to being hostile, but this is the first time they have seen the noble sons of the Han family, who make people feel like a spring breeze as soon as they come up.

Several people muttered a few words to each other, but they really didn't dare to continue to expel Li Jinglong. Whether it is looking at clothing or temperament, the Han person in front of him must be a noble person among the Han people. Even on this island, their mountain tribe is only a small tribe. How can you afford to mess with tens of thousands of Han nobles?

Immediately, one of the natives hurried back to report to the leader of the tribe, while the others remained guarding the place. Although he was still reluctant to let Li Jinglong and the others go up the mountain, he did not expel them, nor did he continue to show hostility towards them.

Li Jinglong also went with the situation and waited patiently at the foot of this mountain. Those natives were worried that he would be exposed to the heat, and even sent some melons and fruits to Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong didn't shirk either, he wiped the hem of his clothes casually, put it in his mouth and bit it down. This kind of style has gained the favor of these aborigines.

A short time later, the native who had gone to report the news returned. And brought a message from the tribal chief: "Noble Han people, our chief invites you to talk to the tribe. ”

"Please."

As his words fell, the few Gaoshan people who had been guarding the road also moved out of the way. One of his own led Li Jinglong and the guards carrying the gifts into the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, Li Jinglong was wearing a long robe, and he was quickly cut into tatters by the branches, and the guards who carried things were also walking crookedly on the mountain road. On the contrary, the natives who led the way were a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to reach out to help Li Jinglong a few times in the rugged place, and even wanted to help carry those bulky cages.

After walking like this for a long time, Li Jinglong finally saw the mountain tribe hidden in the deep mountains on a mountain col. Only to enter the tribe only to find that this tribe does not seem to be as backward and barbaric as imagined, among the tribes, many women wear cloth that is obviously traded from the Ming Dynasty, and among the warriors who protect the tribe, there are also many people holding knives and guns that are obviously produced in the Ming Dynasty.

When he saw that the leader of the tribe, although his face was dark, he was wearing clothes that were obviously made of fine cloth, and Li Jinglong said in his heart that this high mountain tribe was indeed very close to the Han land, and it was not comparable to ordinary foreign tribes.

"The prince of Cao Guo of the Ming Dynasty, why did you come to my land of Great Ryukyu?" This dark-faced leader of the Alpine tribe opened his mouth, which turned out to be the standard official language of the Ming Dynasty. "We're just an alien race, and we don't want to have anything to do with the Celestial Empire."

"If there is nothing to do, please go back. I don't welcome Han Chinese to move to Ryukyu Island......"

Although this leader's Chinese language is standard, he rejects people thousands of miles away when he opens his mouth. But how cheeky is Li Jinglong? Hearing this, instead of being disgusted, he said with a smile: "Does the Gao Shan Department even know about my Cao Guo Mansion?" I came from thousands of miles to pay a visit, so naturally I wanted to see him. ”

"I have built a port in Shanxi facing the sea now...... If you are next to you, you will be your neighbor in the future. ”

"I am a state of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, since I am a newcomer, I should come to visit one or two, some gifts, to give to my neighbors, not to pay respect......"

Li Jinglong said, beckoned outside, and asked people to bring in the generous gifts that had been prepared for a long time.
