Under normal circumstances, a foreign envoy's visit generally involves the following procedures.
The first step is to send envoys to submit documents and make relevant negotiations, so that you can be qualified to be received.
Then, in accordance with the host's permission, follow the planned route and enter the city on time. As for the resting place, only the official Guanyi Station is available.
Looking at the Koreans again, they openly entered the city without any negotiation.
This shows what?
Is it...arrogant?
No!
On the contrary, this is a comprehensive manifestation of inferiority and timidity.
Let's listen to the details.
There is an old saying in China: raise your hand and don’t hit anyone with a smiling face.
People come all the way to show their goodwill with gifts and beautiful women. Even if you hate them, you are embarrassed to treat them with a blushing face.
If the two countries are at war, why not kill the envoys? How much more should the two countries have good-neighborly and friendly relations?
Therefore, in this form of attack, you can basically get away with your whole body.
However, there is one situation that is outside this scope.
That is, Qi Yu quietly assassinated him without anyone knowing the truth, without anyone noticing, so he had no moral concerns.
It was with this in mind that the Koreans chose to show off in a grand way.
The common people are watching over there, how can you, Mr. Qi, be so embarrassed to use violence for no reason?
I have to say, this trick really works.
Due to diplomatic constraints, Qi Yu was really embarrassed to massacre for no reason.
If we mess up our reputation, who will dare to establish relations with Nanyang in the future?
"Originally, I wanted to synchronize with Dafeng and issue a document to sever diplomatic relations. However, looking at it now, I have to make some appropriate adjustments."
"It's not difficult at all. Isn't it okay if your face and heart don't get along?"
While he was talking to himself, he suddenly heard a reminder from the attendant beside him: "Master Qi, the hotel is about to arrive."
Qi Yu came to his senses after hearing the sound, and immediately ordered: "Hand over the assassin for me, and tell me that I, Sun Dacai, have come to see me!"
After saying that, he changed into an arrogant look with his nostrils turned upward.
Judging from the charm alone, he really has a bit of the domineering style of his brother-in-law.
We don’t know each other anyway, so what’s the harm in pretending?
…
Less leaning!
In the guest room where they were staying temporarily, the Korean envoy met with a member of the "Sun Dacai" who made a sudden visit.
With the help of an interpreter, the two parties completed a series of pleasantries.
Qi Yu noticed that this envoy was flexible but lacked official authority. He did not look like a serious diplomat, but more like an auxiliary person who gave advice and suggestions.
This small detail immediately aroused his alertness.
Sure enough, he carefully discovered that whenever he asked a question, he would subconsciously cast a consulting look at an attendant beside him, and only after getting relevant hints did he dare to answer with confidence.
If your guess is correct, this humble follower is the real top figure. And the envoy in front of you is just a chess piece on the surface.
Well, who is this follower?
From the look of him, he seemed to be able to understand his own Chinese.
At this moment, a name that I had encountered before came to mind.
Golden Liufu!
According to Sun Dacai's previous introduction, this person is not only proficient in Chinese culture, but also a very sociable and smooth businessman.
Later, through Ahn Jang-geum's confession, it was learned that his true identity was a foreign minister of the King of Goryeo.
So could the person in front of me be him?
Based on the current situation analysis, this is indeed possible.
Qi Yu calmed down and suddenly shouted: "Jin Liufu?"
However, he saw that the follower's face changed slightly, as if he was a little surprised. However, after a few breaths of time, his demeanor returned to normal.
Obviously, he was silently expressing: You have the wrong person!
Humph, I actually learned how to be fake!
After Qi Yu glanced sideways at him, he pretended not to pay attention anymore.
In fact, the attendant was indeed impersonated by Jin Liufu.
However, he never expected that Sun Dacai would actually know him.
In his memory, although they had some slight acquaintance with each other, they had never actually met each other. In that case, how could they know each other?
But if he didn't know him, how could he call out his Chinese name?
How strange!
But it's pretty good, and the secret is not exposed after all.
After feeling relieved, he glanced at the 'envoy' on the surface.
After understanding the situation, the latter hurriedly asked through the interpreter: "Mr. Sun, I would like to ask you something and inquire about something else. In return, I am willing to give you five thousand taels of silver."
What?
Am I, ‘Sun Dacai’, the kind of person who loves money?
Uh... that's right!
Qi Yu immediately pretended to regard wealth as life, and said: "Since you are so sensible, how can Sun have the nerve to refuse? However, whether I can help you depends on your specific request.
.Well, let’s talk about it!”
The envoy hurriedly said: "You also know that our country, Goryeo, is located on a peninsula and lacks resources, so... I want to buy some shipbuilding wood in the Qiongzhou area, and I hope that the officials will work on it and try to make it happen. After that, I will
There will be another..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Yu refused clearly and said: "I'm very sorry, I really can't help in this matter. You must also know that the Chief Secretary of Qiongzhou has already issued a clear regulation.
The export of all wood is prohibited, and as the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, how can Sun know and break the law?"
Jin Liufu seemed not surprised at all by this answer.
He just showed a helpless smile and asked the envoy to stop asking.
"In that case, let me tell you about the thing I want to inquire about."
"Yes! Please speak!"
"Where is this girl An Changjin now?"
oh……
After working on it for a long time, it turns out that this is your real purpose.
He had never announced the matter of sending Fusang Girl to Wenxiang Pavilion, so very few people knew the inside story.
In addition, the woman is currently receiving special training from Huang Fei, so she has never appeared in public.
As far as outsiders are concerned, it is impossible to know the inner reasons. Whether she is in Qiongzhou or not is still an undetermined issue.
However, the Koreans have their own methods.
They learned from Qi Yuanzhen's mouth before he died that this girl was taken to Qiongzhou by Qi Yu.
So, they followed the clues and searched for them.
Due to the extremely tight public security in Qiongzhou, it was not suitable to conduct a detailed private investigation. After weighing the situation, they had no choice but to use a public show of goodwill to investigate here.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Jin Liufu decisively decided that the trip must be grand and ostentatious. Only in this way can Qi Yu be restrained from killing people randomly.
Let’s talk about the present first.
Qi Yu was just about to give a perfunctory answer, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately changed his mind.
You said, why not take advantage of the situation and cooperate with them in a performance?
Who knows, you may even get unexpected gains.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu smiled faintly and said: "For the sake of money, I will tell you a few things. According to the inside information I obtained through a special relationship, this woman is currently lurking in Wenxiang Pavilion."
The envoy was stunned and immediately asked: "What kind of place is this?"
"Haha, talented people have always fought for territory, and heroes have been gentle since ancient times!" After saying that, Qi Yu felt that this statement was not in line with Sun Dacai's shallow knowledge, so he changed his words: "To put it bluntly, it is the kind of fun that men like to play most.
Place, do you understand?"
But at this moment, Jin Liufu suddenly coughed, seemingly saying: Stop asking, I am very familiar with this place!
Well, that’s good to know!
Seeing that the envoy suddenly understood, Qi Yu put away the money with confidence.
Then, he said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he also kindly reminded: "The business of Wenxiang Pavilion has been very hot recently. If you want to get a place, you must go there as soon as possible. In addition, remember to bring more money, otherwise, you will be able to smile at Bomei
During the 'out' phase, you can only stare..."
"Oh...thank you, Mr. Sun, for reminding me."
"Okay, farewell!"
"..."
After Qi Yu left, Jin Liufu sat down and made an analysis.
So, should we go to Wenxiang Pavilion?
After thinking for a few seconds, he said decisively: "Take all the gold and silver we have and follow me to that place. No matter what, I want to have a private meeting with An Changjin to find out what is in the hands of the Fusang Kingdom."
