There was a hint of helplessness in the smile on Wan Qishen's face.

"Master Chu, Master Qi and the others may not be able to come."

Mr. Qi was the person in charge of the previous batch of envoys.

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

Chu Ze's coming here represents the face of Ming Dynasty.Master Qi and the others arrived first. Logically speaking, even if they were too sick to get out of bed, they should send someone to greet them and notify Chu Ze by the way.

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

Instead, they asked people from other countries to deliver messages for them.

This is already very disrespectful.

Mr. Qi is a veteran left over from the previous dynasty and knows etiquette very well. How could he do something so ignorant of etiquette on such an occasion?

Unless someone doesn't let them come.

Chu Ze looked at Wan Qishen with a half-smile but was already cursing in his heart.

These people were really looking for death. As soon as he landed on the island, they wanted to give him a blow.

Sure enough, the King of Ryukyu came to him with ill intentions.

Li Xing was also a little worried.

He couldn't speak at this time, so he could only gently pinch Chu Ze's arm to hint that he should be careful.

Wan Qishen's face remained the same, and he said with some self-blame: "It was also our negligence. Mr. Qi and others are from the Ming Dynasty and are not used to the food on our island. Although we have tried our best to make some Ming Dynasty food for you, we did not expect that Some adults are old-hearted, and as a result, they will have diarrhea all night tomorrow night. When we went to pick them up this morning, they were so exhausted that they couldn't even get out of bed."

Chu Ze secretly gritted his teeth after hearing this.

What kind of people are old-hearted? According to Chu Ze, it was because they deliberately acted.

Not only did he deliberately lose face, but he also criticized Sang and Huai, saying that the people of Ming Dynasty did not know good and evil.

Chu Ze looked at Wan Qishen with a sullen face. He sneered and said, "It's a small diarrhea that has been delayed all night and it's still not good? Just when we came, we brought a few doctors because we couldn't bear the weather. Wait a minute. Go back to the inn and ask them to prescribe a prescription for Mr. Qi to ensure that the disease is cured. But Mr. Wanqi, your Ryukyu imperial doctors are very bad. They can't even cure diarrhea. People like this have a vegetarian diet. We might as well kill him. What do you think, Master Wanqi?"

Wan Qishen's smile froze.

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

Wan Qishen pretended not to hear anything, and smiled as before: "The people Mr. Chu brought here must be extraordinary. Mr. Chu came to Ryukyu for the first time, so he must not know the customs of Ryukyu. Whenever a distinguished guest arrives, When the time comes, we will bring out the freshest food for each other to taste." After saying that, Wan Qishen clapped his hands a few times, and immediately someone came over with a tray and stopped in front of Chu Ze.

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

I don't know what's inside.

By the way, is there such a custom here?

Chu Ze glanced at Li Xing seemingly casually.

The latter nodded imperceptibly.

It seems that there are.

Chu Ze just thought that the other party was deliberately causing trouble, but it seemed that he had wronged him.

As soon as the idea came up, Chuangsheng saw a flash of light in Wan Qishen's eyes.

Chu Ze's heart trembled.

Good guy, this is going to cause trouble again.

Let's see what he's going to do.

Then Chu Ze saw that Wan Qishen was about to open the carved cover, revealing a lively and active giant octopus underneath.

Like a big pile of rotten meat, struggling and squirming in the glass bowl.vomit!
Zhao Si covered his mouth and almost vomited.

The expressions of other people accompanying him changed more or less.

Wan Qi looked at Chu Ze with a deep smile and said with great sincerity: "Mr. Chu, according to our custom here, the things given in the welcome ceremony must be eaten before you can show the sincerity of the visitor and get our sincere hospitality."

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

Li Xing also frowned and pinched Chu Ze gently: We have this kind of welcome gift here. You can also use octopus, but you can't eat it alive.

Even among their locals, few can eat them alive.

Wan Qishen is deliberately making things difficult.

"Master Chu, please." Wan Qi pointed deeply at the glass cup and motioned to his subordinates to cut off one of the octopus' legs.

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

Zhao Si next to him turned blue.

"Master Wan Qi, you are clearly making things difficult for me. Who will eat the octopus alive?!" Zhao Si stared at Wan Qi Shen with anger on his face.

His voice was quite loud, and everyone around him could hear it clearly.

But so what?
Wan Qishen cleared the port early to welcome the distinguished envoy.

The people who can stand here, apart from their own people, are Chu Ze's people.

No matter how loud Zhao Si shouted, no one would complain on their behalf.

And Chu Ze also saw that this was clearly arranged by Wan Qishen, just to embarrass them.

Although seafood was also available in the Ming Dynasty, in this era, the preservation technology is not good, coupled with transportation problems, people in the inland can rarely eat seafood, especially if it is alive, it must be eaten raw.

Chu Ze glanced at the vibrant octopus feet contemptuously.

"Master Qi, did they also eat when they went to the island?" Chu Ze asked.

Wan Qi nodded deeply, with a slight sneer in his eyes: "I have eaten, and I have finished it."

"Then it seems we have to finish our meal." Chu Ze reached out and picked up the chopsticks to poke at the octopus's feet.

Wan Qishen looked at Chu Ze's calm face and felt an unusual feeling in his heart.

Isn't this person afraid?
The previous groups of envoys were all frightened out of their wits.

Although some people tried to eat it, they vomited it as soon as they entered the mouth, which turned everything upside down and made them laugh a lot.

From deliberately drugging Mr. Qi and others so that they could not get out of bed and preventing them from coming to greet Chu Ze, to now eating octopuses alive, they all wanted to kill Chu Ze.

As long as Chu Ze loses face today and sees them in the future, Chu Ze will automatically be inferior to them.

It will be difficult to be tough when talking about things in the future.

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

This second plan should work, right?
Don't worry, maybe this person is better at putting on airs.

When Wan Qishen thought about this, he suddenly felt at ease.

He looked at Chu Ze with a smile and raised his hand to signal: "Master Chu, please invite me. If you can't finish the meal, don't force it. We in Ryukyu are the best at hospitality, and we will still receive you with the highest etiquette." Wan Zhi Shen said this, but the ridicule and calculation in his eyes were no longer concealed.

Chu Zexun even got picky about him: "Isn't it just an octopus? It has no seasoning? You guys eat it too carelessly and don't even prepare dipping sauce? What's the difference between that and eating it raw in the sea?"

After saying that, Chu Ze picked up a small piece of octopus foot in disgust, put it into his mouth unhurriedly, and chewed it without changing his expression.

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