My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 18 How many steps does it take to change from a dog to a sheep?

"Master Liu, this... this seems to be our boat."

On the highest attic in the center of the wharf, an officer dressed in a Ming dynasty looked at the roaring port with his eyes wide open, and stammered a low cry.

"Nonsense, what about our ship, our Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can it be possible to do pirates."

An old man standing in front of him, his eyelids twitched a few times when he heard Baihu's words, he turned around and scolded loudly.

Bai Hu, who had been scolded for no reason, scratched his head in doubt.

I didn't say anything, why is Lord Liu so excited?
Also, although the pier was thick with gunpowder smoke, his eyesight would never make a mistake.

It was indeed Daming's warship, and the largest one in the middle seemed to be the vehicle of His Highness the King of Yue.

Mr. Liu stared and denied it flatly, this shit can't be justified.

"Why are you still standing here in a daze, hurry up and do something."

"Uh... what are you doing?"

Master Liu stared at him speechlessly, "What else can I do, I told you to fight pirates, will you go?"

Baihu glanced at the roaring port and shrank his neck.

With such intensive bombardment, with only a hundred or so of his subordinates, it is estimated that they would not even be able to find a whole body.

"My lord, stop joking."

"You know it's a joke, so why don't you hurry up and get out, order to go down and close the door, and no one is allowed to go out until the matter is over."

Looking angrily at the leaving Baihu, Mr. Liu sighed as he heard the rumble of cannons.

"These great people, I really don't know what to think."

"The front feet were fine like a family, but the back feet started fighting."

"If you say you want to fight, hit me. Anyway, let me know in advance. I won't let you know until the door comes. Even if Zhuge Liang is reborn, I can't handle it."

"Deng deng deng..."

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded from the stairs, and the sad Master Liu quickly withdrew his thoughts and straightened his face.

"My lord, the king of Manraga has come."

Baihu, who had just come down, ran up profusely, looked around and said in a low voice, "I have a bad temper, and I will ask you to blame as soon as I come up, saying why did we suddenly start a war with them?"

Hearing this, Mr. Liu wiped his face vigorously, and said indignantly: "How the hell would I know, he asked me, who should I ask?"

Pushing Baihu away, Master Liu walked down the stairs like thunder.

"Master Liu, please tell Xiao Wang, what's going on, why did you, Ming Ming, start a war against us?"

As soon as Master Liu came downstairs, a middle-aged man who was full of jewels strode forward and grabbed Master Liu's hand, and asked loudly.

Mr. Liu, who understood the other party's special hobbies, felt disgusted, pulled back his hand forcefully, wiped his back unobtrusively, and said indifferently: "Why did King Manlajia say that? When did our Ming Dynasty start a war with you? Why don't I know."

Seeing the other party's appearance like this, King Manajia was furious in his heart.

What a fucking bastard, the cannons of your Ming warships are all on my forehead. As the head of the Ming Dynasty Chamber of Commerce in Manga, you don’t know, you’re lying.

Wanting to get mad, but considering his own situation and the power represented by the other party, King Manaja clenched his teeth and said:

"Since there is no war, can you explain to me where the warships attacking our country come from?"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help the aggrieved sarcasm in his heart:

"Don't tell me that you don't know those warships."

"As far as I know, you Ming Dynasty is the only country that can equip artillery on such a large scale."

Lord Liu raised his eyebrows, ignoring the sarcasm of King Manjaga, "I repeat, my Ming Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and I will not go to war with other countries for no reason, let alone launch such shameless sneak attacks."

Speaking of this, Master Liu straightened his back: "Besides, so what if there is a war, do we need a reason for Daming to fight you?"

"Everything in your country was given by us, Daming. If we want to take back our own things, what right do you have to ask questions?"

"In addition, let me tell you again, the world is big, and I'm not the only country, Daming. Don't put shit on our Daming's head when you see ships and artillery. Be careful that you will offend His Majesty, and you won't be able to eat well."

Master Liu's words made King Manaja freeze in place.

He didn't expect that Daming, who was always easy to talk and had always been taken advantage of in his eyes, would be so strong.

Is this really the Daming in his impression?

Seeing the slightly disdainful eyes of the other party, King Manajia became angry from embarrassment, wanted to say something cruel, turned around and left with his sleeves.

Considering the threats on the pier and the country's poor defense capabilities, he could only grit his teeth and swallow them with a humble expression on his face.

"I also ask Mr. Liu to forgive me. Just now Xiao Wang was in a panic and said something wrong. Don't blame Mr. Liu."

"Humph!"

Master Liu snorted softly, picked up the tea brought by the servant next to him, stared at the other party and said nothing.

Bring tea to guests!

This is an easy-to-understand rule in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

But this King Manlajia doesn't know much about Ming's culture.

Seeing Master Liu holding up the teacup, he thought it was an invitation to drink tea.

Although he was in a hurry, but now he had something to ask for, he could only resist the urgency in his heart, picked up the teacup, saluted Lord Liu, and smiled.

Master Liu: "..."

That's right, if you flirt with blind people, they don't understand at all.

"Is there anything else your majesty wants?"

People don't understand, Master Liu didn't bother to pretend, and directly pointed out the problem.

The meaning in the words is beyond the meaning, remind the other party, if you have nothing to do, get out as soon as possible.

"Yes... yes... yes..."

Hearing Mr. Liu asked if he had anything else to do, King Manajia was overjoyed, thinking that his sincerity had touched the other party, and the other party was willing to help, so he said quickly:

"Xiao Wang hopes that Your Excellency can represent Daming and talk to that faction on the pier."

"As long as they are willing to leave and stop attacking the pier, we can consider what is required of us in Malaga."

King Manjaka had made up his mind.

The fleet on his pier came from Daming, and the reason why he attacked without even saying hello was probably to avenge the fact that the Han coolies were driven out of Manlajia.

He still needs to rely on Daming now, and the two sides can't get too rigid.

Offending Da Ming, without Da Ming's protection, the greedy wolves around him would pounce on him without hesitation and eat him alive.

Alas, for the sake of his position and the grand goal in his heart, King Manjaga chose to endure temporarily and decided to spend money to settle the matter.

Based on his understanding of Daming, as long as he admits his mistakes sincerely and provides corresponding compensation, this crisis can be passed safely.

On the opposite side, Master Liu paused for a moment with his hand holding the teacup, and looked at the opposite King Manga, with sympathy in his eyes.

In his eyes, the other party is no longer a person, but a fat sheep that has been roasted by himself and sprinkled with spices!
For this kind of fat sheep delivered to the door, Mr. Liu suspected that when he saw the other party again, he would probably have been gnawed to the bone.
