The smile on Wan Qishen's face was a little more helpless.

"Lord Chu, Lord Qi, I'm afraid they won't be able to come."

Lord Qi was the person in charge of the last batch of envoys.

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why? ”

Chu Ze is here to represent the face of Daming. Master Qi and they arrived first, and it stands to reason that even if they are too sick to get out of bed, they should send someone to greet them, and inform Chu Ze by the way.

But they didn't come themselves, and they didn't send anyone.

Instead, let people from other countries deliver messages for them.

This is already rude.

Lord Qi is an old minister left over from the previous dynasty, and he knows the etiquette very well, how could he do such a thing that does not know the etiquette on such an occasion.

Unless someone doesn't let them come.

Chu Ze looked at Wan Qianshen with a smile, and he had already scolded in his heart.

These people are really looking for death, and as soon as he came to the island, he wanted to give him a horse.

Sure enough, the king of the Ryukyus didn't have a good heart when he came to him.

Li Xing was also a little worried.

It was inconvenient for him to speak at this time, so he could only gently pinch Chu Ze's arm, suggesting that he be careful.

Wan Qianshen's face was still the same, and he said with some self-reproach: "It's also our negligence, Lord Qi and the others are Ming people, and they can't get used to eating food on our island." Although we have tried our best to make some food for the adults, but I didn't expect that a few adults are not old, and as a result, tomorrow night I had a bad stomach, and when we went to pick up a few adults this morning, several adults have collapsed to the point that they can't even get out of bed. ”

Chu Ze gritted his teeth secretly when he heard this.

Who is not old-hearted, according to Chu Ze, it is their deliberate hands and feet.

not only deliberately lost his face, but also pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, saying that their Ming people did not know what to do.

Chu Ze had a calm face, looking at Wan Qianshen, he sneered, and said, "It's not good to have a small abdomen, it's not good to drag on all night?" When we came, we specially brought a few doctors in order to refuse to accept the waterproof soil. Later, when I returned to the post house, I asked them to prescribe a prescription for Lord Qi to ensure that the medicine was cured. But Lord Wan Qi, your imperial doctor in the Ryukyus is very bad, and he can't even cure diarrhea, and a person like this kind of corpse vegetarian meal can simply be killed. What do you think? ”

Wan Qishen's smile froze.

Don't think he didn't hear it, Chu Ze was scolding the imperial doctor for being incompetent on the surface, but he was actually beating him.

Wan Qian pretended not to hear anything, and smiled as much as just now: "The person brought by Lord Chu must be extraordinary." When Lord Chu first came to Ryukyu, he must not have known my Ryukyu customs. Whenever a guest arrives, we bring out the freshest food for each other to taste. With that, Wan Qishen clapped his hands a few times, and immediately someone walked over with a tray and stopped in front of Chu Ze.

Chu Ze lowered his eyes and saw a beautiful glass cup on the tray, with a carved lid of the same color on it.

I don't know what's inside.

By the way, is there such a custom here?

Chu Ze seemed to look at Li Xing inadvertently.

The latter nodded imperceptibly.

It seems that there is.

Chu Ze thought that this was the other party's deliberate trouble, but it seemed that he had wronged others.

As soon as this idea came to mind, he saw a flash of light in Wan Qishen's eyes.

Chu Ze's heart sank.

Good guy, this is still going to make trouble.

Let's see what he's up to.

Then Chu Ze saw that Wan Qianshen would open the carved lid, revealing the lively and active one underneath - the big octopus.

Like a pile of rotten meat, struggling and wriggling in a glass bowl.

Vomit!

Zhao Si covered his mouth and almost didn't vomit.

The faces of the other entourages changed to a greater or lesser extent.

Wan Qi looked at Chu Ze with a deep smile, and said very sincerely: "Lord Chu, according to our custom here, the things on the welcome ceremony must be eaten before the guests are sincere and can be sincerely entertained by us." ”

Chu Ze looked at the pile of live octopuses with an expressionless face.

Li Xing also frowned, and pinched Chu Ze lightly: We have this kind of welcome gift here, and we can also use octopus, but it is not eaten alive.

Even among their locals, few of them can eat it alive.

Wan Qianshen is deliberately embarrassed.

"Lord Chu, please." Wan Qian pointed to the glass bowl and motioned to his subordinates to cut off the octopus's foot.

Looking at the energetic soft foot, Li Xing's face changed, and he glanced at Chu Ze worriedly.

Zhao Si next to him turned blue.

"Lord Wan Qi, you are clearly embarrassed, who eats octopus raw?!" Zhao Si glared at Wan Qianshen, his face full of anger.

His voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear it clearly.

But so what?

Wan Qishen had already emptied the port by welcoming the envoy.

The people who can stand here, in addition to their own people, are Chu Ze's people.

No matter how loud Zhao Si yells, no one will complain for them.

And Chu Ze also saw that this was clearly arranged by Wan Qianshen, just to make them lose face.

Although the Ming Dynasty also has seafood, but in this era, the technology of preservation is not good, coupled with the transportation problem, people in the inland can rarely eat seafood, especially alive, and it has to be eaten raw.

Chu Ze glanced at the vibrant octopus foot with contempt.

"Lord Qi, when they went to the island, they also ate?" Chu Ze asked.

Wan Qian nodded deeply, with a slight sneer in his eyes: "I've eaten it, and I've finished it." ”

"Then it looks like we're going to have to finish it." Chu Ze stretched out his hand, picked up his chopsticks and flicked the octopus foot.

Wan Qian looked at Chu Ze's calm face, and a sense of unusualness rose in his heart.

Isn't this man afraid?

The previous envoys were all so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies.

Although some people tried to eat it, they vomited as soon as they entered the mouth, and the world was turned upside down, making them see a lot of jokes.

From deliberately drugged, causing Lord Qi and the others to be unable to get out of bed, so that they could not come to greet Chu Ze, to now eating octopus alive, they are all arrogant who want to kill Chu Ze.

As long as Chu Ze loses face today and sees them in the future, Chu Ze will automatically wait for one person lower.

It's hard to get tough when you talk about things in the future.

But he didn't expect that the first plan didn't work.

This second plan, how can it be done, right?

Don't worry, it may be that this person is more pretentious.

When Wan Qianshen thought about it, his heart suddenly settled.

He looked at Chu Ze with a smile and raised his hand to signal: "Lord Chu, please, don't be reluctant if you can't finish eating." We in the Ryukyus are the most hospitable, and we will continue to treat adults with the highest courtesy. Wan Qianshen said so, but the ridicule in his eyes and calculation were no longer hidden.

Chu Zeyan was picky, and even picky: "Isn't it just an octopus, no seasoning?" You don't even prepare dipping sauces because you don't eat too much? What's the difference between that and going to the sea and gnawing on it. ”

After speaking, Chu Ze picked up a small piece of octopus foot in disgust, put it in his mouth without hurrying in everyone's surprised or mocking eyes, and chewed it without changing his face.

Except for a slight frown, his expression was no different from eating ordinary food. (End of chapter)
