Chapter 469 470. Envoy
Gu Wenheng didn't expect that the envoys from the other island country would show up so soon. Looking at the people who came shouting, he curled his lips and said, "Is this an envoy? This is really impressive. Any official here would be more impressive than this."
Especially those old guys in Beijing, every house has some staff and guards.
"Were they like this before?" Gu Wenheng didn't care about the other party's gaze and turned his head to look at Xiao Yuling curiously.
Xiao Yuling, "Yes, these people always look arrogant every time they come here. It's obvious that they came here to rob us, but they act as if we owe them something.
Lord Liang had always wanted to keep things quiet and seek peace, and he always sent people away with kind words, but he never expected that these people would eventually take his life. "
If Xiao Yulin didn't feel hatred when looking at these people, it would be a lie.
His legs were limping when he ran now. On that day, the bandits rushed straight to the prefect's yard, giving them some time to save themselves. Now they couldn't stand here.
"Master Gu," the other party said in a clumsy official language, "I wonder where our Master Shan is now? You've kept him here for so long, isn't it time to let him go?"
"Master Shan?" Gu Wenheng looked at him in confusion. "Is there anyone from your country visiting me? I didn't receive the invitation."
“*#@…” The other party said a lot of nonsense, but Gu Wenheng turned a deaf ear to it. It was just a dog barking. It would be a loss of points if he tried to understand it.
The other party obviously realized that he had done something stupid. He took a deep breath and said to the people around him, "Ling San, didn't you see that Master Shan was taken away by them? Come and have a good talk with this Master Gu, so that he won't play dumb here."
Ling San, "Master Gu, according to the news we heard, you arrested many of us before the New Year. Please release them now."
Gu Wenheng walked to the main seat and sat down. "It is said that visitors are guests. It seems that you still haven't learned the etiquette of our Rong Dynasty. Shouldn't you introduce yourself now?"
At this point, Gu Wenheng shook his head and said to Ah Qi beside him, "I sympathize with your Lord. It must be very difficult for him to deal with these uncivilized people for such a long time!"
Ah Qi, "..."
"Master Gu," Ling San took a deep breath, "Let me introduce you to our Master Lang. This time he is representing our country and urging you to help us send Master Shan back."
Lord Lang raised his head and looked at Gu Wenheng with contempt.
Gu Wenheng took a sip of the tea that the maid had just brought over, and then said to Lord Lang, "Although you don't understand the complicated etiquette of our Rong Dynasty, after all, you are a guest, so please sit down!"
Lord Lang's face immediately turned red. He was just holding his breath just now, but he didn't expect that the two of them were in such a completely different situation now.
The other party was sitting leisurely in the main seat, while they were still standing there stupidly, feeling a head shorter than them.
He snorted, walked to Gu Wenheng's right and sat down, "Master Gu's hospitality has shown us."
Gu Wenheng smiled, "It depends on who I treat. When friends come, I have good wine and food. On the contrary, when enemies come, I will not close the door and let the dogs out. This already shows that I am well-educated."
"Governor Gu, please stop talking to us. Our Emperor will write a letter to the Emperor of your Rong Dynasty soon. If you don't release the person to us quickly, you will suffer."
"It's just a tiny place, but they have such a big temper." Gu Wenheng has a thorough understanding of these bandits. To Rong Dynasty, they are just a group of rabble.
They are just taking advantage of the fact that the people in the Rong Dynasty don't know their background, so they dare to speak nonsense here.
Feeling insulted, Lord Lang immediately stood up and said, "#*&..."
Gu Wenheng, "Keep your mouth shut. The louder you speak, the more guilty you appear.
Since it is rare for you to come to our court, I will not let you go back empty-handed. I happen to have something in my hand that may be of interest to your Majesty the Emperor."
Gu Wenheng raised his hand, and Jiang Shuiniu quickly took out a stack of papers from his arms and placed them respectfully in his palm.
Gu Wenheng flipped through it for a while and picked out a thin page of paper. "Come and take a look. Does this look familiar to you?"
Lord Lang's eyes widened, "You, how could you be so..."
"This is the topographic map of your country in this sea area, right?" Gu Wenheng smiled contemptuously, "Does it look particularly familiar to you? Maybe it's even more detailed than the one you have in your hands."
Lord Lang, "…where does this come from?"
He did not doubt Shan Lao and his men. They could not mark the map with just a few people.
"I guess you are not without confidence. It's just such a small place, no bigger than my two prefectures at most. Yet you dare to come here and act like the boss. It seems that ignorance is bliss." Gu Wenheng shook his head, although this dynasty space had never appeared in his own history.
However, there is not much difference in the distribution of many geographical locations. I was just testing it out, but I didn’t expect that they actually matched.
Seeing their faces becoming more and more solemn, Gu Wenheng laughed particularly happily, "Over the years, you have relied on the gap between us and come here to do things that are not allowed to be seen by others. This shows how miserable your situation is.
Unfortunately, all your previous plans have failed. I can tell you here that if you don’t want your tiny land to become our annexation, you’d better show your sincerity.”
Lord Lang straightened his back instantly. "So what if you know our terrain? With your people, you have to offer sacrifices to the sea god before you even go out to sea."
Even if they knew, it would be up to them to decide when to go ashore. The newly appointed prefect was just taking advantage of them verbally.
Gu Wenheng picked up another piece of drawing paper, but this time he didn't hand it to them. Instead, he waved it in front of them and said, "Don't be too confident. I didn't know the bottom line before, so I let you take advantage of me. But now it's not necessarily the case."
In order to scare these people first, Gu Wenheng drew a sci-fi battleship on paper. Unexpectedly, this action immediately made the other party panic.
Lord Lang wanted to take the drawing paper, but Prefect Gu threw it to the guard behind him. "How is it? Do you think you can still crack the water ghosts guarding the bottom of the water?"
Gu Wenheng admired the other person's constantly changing expressions, and even Xiao Yulin and others who were sitting next to him were stunned.
Lord Gu had not discussed these arrangements with them before, but it felt really good, and they all had to try hard to control themselves from laughing out loud.
