Gu Yunting ignored him and drew his knife, scaring Li Mingzhu so much that he ran away with his head in his hands.
He pretended to chase after him and showed his strength to Song Shoujie.
Song Shoujie understood what he meant and stepped forward to hold Gu Yunting back: "Hey, General, don't be angry. Why bother with these barbarians? They are cowardly and mean. There is no need to get angry and ruin your health because of them."
Li Ming was not convinced, but he did not dare to offend Gu Yunting again, so he had to run off the boat.
Seeing that they had run away, Gu Yunting casually put the knife on the ground and said, "It's nothing! Arguing is like fighting cocks. If they really start fighting, they will run faster than rabbits."
Song Shoujie smacked his lips: "Do you want to fight or not?"
Gu Yunting rolled his eyes at him: "Shouldn't we test their strength first? I want to eat a lot of fat in one go, but I'm afraid that if I throw all these 10,000 people here, I won't be able to go back to Kyoto with shame."
Song Shoujie shook his head repeatedly: "Not really, really not. From what I see, Gao Li is only empty, not real, even more empty than a 60-year-old man."
"Wait a minute." Gu Yuting was puzzled. "What do you think Wang Jian was thinking? I was almost riding on his face to attack him, why didn't he move like a mountain? If it were my mother, she would slap him a few times and kick him out."
"He is a Goryeo king after all, and he destroyed the generals of Silla. Why is he so cowardly?"
Song Shoujie picked up the knife on the ground and put it back into the sheath: "Why else? He's old. How can he not be afraid and worried when he has more than 20 adult sons?"
Gu Yunting was almost depressed to death. The other party seemed to be very stubborn, but he did not have the strength and backbone.
Gu Yuting hoped that Gao Li could stand up so that he could give them a good beating, but unfortunately, the other party only dared to use some underhanded tactics.
For example, sending robbers to steal artillery.
This is...
Gu Yunting was woken up in the middle of the night. Looking at the robber who was pinned to the ground, he was completely speechless.
“Do they still think they’re so smart?”
Are you crazy? This is Licheng Port! There are so many ships coming and going.
How could there be a robbery group of hundreds of people nearby?! Are they trying to kill themselves?!
The sea is covered with green water, white sails are dotted around, and seagulls are flying overhead.
The sun was about to set, and the western sky was still burning with an orange-red sunset glow.
Gu Yunting had been on the sea for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly got off the boat. When he walked, it felt like he was walking on clouds, light and airy.
He looked at the robbers who were pinned to the ground. The leader was wearing an eyepatch and was staring at him viciously.
"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll dig out your other eyeball!"
The soldier brought a chair to Gu Yunting, and Gu Yunting sat on it carelessly. The soldier did not interrogate him at all and directly convicted him.
"You are from Goryeo, right? You are so brave! You destroyed ten of our cannons and twenty ships, which cost a total of 20.5 million strings of cash. I am kind-hearted and will give you 20 million strings of cash. You can use minerals, silver, or gold as collateral. Come on, sign the pledge for them!"
Gu Yunting didn't care whether they could understand Dayun's words or not. Even if they understood, they had to sign anyway.
Obviously, the leader can understand.
He twisted his body wildly, refusing to sign the large IOU: "Everyone has his own responsibility! We are robbers. Why do you put this debt on our royal family?"
Gu Yunting waved his fan and said, "I'm not blind. You are the soldiers of Goryeo."
It has to be.
The leading man wanted to say something, but the annoyed soldier pulled off his belt, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he pulled his thumb and pressed it heavily on the IOU, leaving a thumbprint.
After finishing this matter, Gu Yunting sent a team of soldiers to Kaijing to tell Wang Jian about it and collect some interest.
Song Shoujie suddenly wanted to drink, so he bought a jar of local rice wine from a roadside shop, poured it into a bowl, and took a drink. His face suddenly changed and he vomited.
What is this? It's sour and smelly.
Come on, Yunzhou’s wine is still better.
Song Shoujie kept saying "Pooh, Pooh" all the way: "I don't think they can admit this."
"It doesn't matter whether they admit it or not, we just have to acknowledge the debt. If someone who owes you money wants to cheat and act like a big shot, that's simply going against the grain! Only people can cheat money from me, but they can never owe me money." Gu Yunting walked around with a swagger like a crab.
Song Shoujie clicked his tongue twice, and said with a complicated expression: "After going out to sea, you seem to have become a different person. If you go back, you have to testify for me that it was not me who led you astray."
The second prince, who was a good boy, behaved like a gangster. Your Majesty would not think that bad company would corrupt people, right?
Judging from the Second Prince's skillful performance, it was obvious that he was evil to the core.
…
Even though Goryeo is such a small place, Yunzhou alone is bigger than it.
If there weren't so many mountains, the team ordered to collect the debts could have arrived a few days earlier.
They have inherited Gu Yunting's true skills, their nostrils are almost pointing to the sky, and they walk in a haphazard manner, looking extremely arrogant.
The Goryeo nobles disliked them, but they dared to hide and did not dare to come up and cause trouble.
The messengers first stated Gu Yunting's four demands, and then mentioned the matter of the IOU again.
This made Wang Jian and the Goryeo ministers so angry that they started cursing.
"Dayun is so arrogant, is he bullying me, Goryeo, because I have no one?"
"We Gaoli would rather be slaves of a conquered nation than dogs of Dayun. You Dayun are simply barbarians, far inferior to Dazhou."
"We are a vassal state of the Great Zhou. The Emperor of the Great Zhou has a close personal relationship with our King. You are bullying us like this. We just don't take the Great Zhou seriously!"
"Your Majesty!" A gray-haired Korean minister knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, almost crying to death.
"Your Majesty, we cannot tolerate Dayun's arrogance any longer. If we continue to tolerate it, we will have no place to stand! I beg Your Majesty to immediately order the army to march west!"
After saying this, he looked at the messengers fiercely, trying to see fear and hesitation on their faces.
Unexpectedly, these messengers were not afraid at all. Instead, their mouths curled up and their faces were filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Hit, hit quickly, if you don't hit, you are not a human being!"
I knock.
The Goryeo minister cursed inwardly, "You think you are so great just because you have firearms? You can bully others just because you have firearms? We Goryeo are not vegetarians either. Have you forgotten how you Han people suffered a great loss on Goryeo's land?"
Wang Jian did not say whether to start a war, but drove the messenger out of the palace: "Go tell your second prince, if he comes as a friend, we will entertain him with fine wine. If he comes as a robber, we in Goryeo are not afraid of him, we will take up our own weapons and drive the robber out." (End of this chapter)
