Ivan, the envoy of the Naros Kingdom, is very calm now.

This is natural. Zhu Houzhao's impulsive actions were like giving them a big gift. Now that he takes the initiative to deal with Ivan, he naturally doesn't have to worry. He even couldn't help but feel complacent because he thought of achieving their goals.

However, Yifan was obviously a little surprised at Ye Chunqiu's sudden visit. With a little surprise, he personally went to the Honglu Temple to welcome the "adult".

There is also a general translation with him. This general translation is obviously a Mongolian, and he can also speak Chinese and communicate with Ivan at the same time.

Although this was not the first time Ivan saw Ye Chunqiu, it was the first time that he had carefully looked at this young man named Zhenguo Duke.

In a sense, Ivan was quite curious about this, which could be said to be the largest powerful minister of the Eastern dynasty, because in the Kingdom of Ross, this "grand duke" was much more famous than their emperor and was the object of praise from many merchants.

On the contrary, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince, seemed much more inconspicuous.

But what's interesting is that the crown prince was like a follower behind Ye Chunqiu, because he couldn't help but look at Ye Chunqiu, as if he needed to gain courage from Ye Chunqiu.

This is obviously a kind of dependence on children on their parents. No, they are not father and son, so... if this great prince is in Western terms, he should be the godfather of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After a few greetings, he then entered the Honglu Temple. Everyone sat down with guests and hosts. Although Zhu Zaiyao was just a child, his identity was naturally in the first place. Ye Chunqiu and Yifan sat down on the left and right.

Ivan said in a simplified translation: "I heard you have a saying that you will not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. I don't know what the Duke of Zhenguo came here?"

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips and then said simply and loudly: "Dull."

This general translation was a little surprised, but it quickly conveyed Ye Chunqiu's meaning to Ivan.

When Ivan heard the translation, he was slightly stunned.

He frowned and asked who was going to duel.

Ye Chunqiu's answer was: "It's right."

The general translation looks incredible, and I thought I had heard it wrong. After repeated confirmation, I conveyed this meaning to Ivan.

Zhu Zaiyao, who was sitting aside, was also shocked. He finally understood what Ya's father had just said to him in the palace.

I’m afraid that from the very beginning, Ye Chunqiu had made up his mind, otherwise how could the literati and officials be shameless? Is it a national humiliation?

This clearly cursed all the civil and military officials, thinking that they were not responsible. When they were promoted and made money, everyone rushed to the front. When they faced responsibility, they suddenly became sophisticated.

Zhu Zaiyao opened his mouth and wanted to say no, but Ye Chunqiu was calm and calm, and he finally swallowed this sentence back.

Many times, Zhu Zaiyao is quietly imitating Ye Chunqiu, because Ye Chunqiu casts a lot of shock in his little heart. Today, Yafu's words and deeds make him a little scared and excited.

Ivan's face became even more exciting. First, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in trouble, but in the blink of an eye, the Duke of Zhenguo actually became in trouble?

Ivan couldn't help but think that just a while ago, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty found himself and hoped to reconcile in private, which made Ivan look down on these "civil and military officials" deep in his heart.

But now, Ye Chunqiu actually wants to duel. Is this an act of loyalty to their emperor?

Ivan couldn't help but think about it carefully. In his opinion, most orientals were very cunning, let alone the Duke of Zhenguo who was admired by those cunning merchants.

Ye Chunqiu's move did not give Yifan any admiration, and he even felt suspicious. This time, maybe it was just a bluff, while reconciling privately and challenging with great fanfare, but... it was this Duke Zhenguo who wanted to invite favor in front of their emperor.

Ivan calmed down for a moment before saying, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has made an appointment with us. Now our strong men need to rest and accumulate energy, so I am afraid I can't agree to your request. I'm really sorry."

After hearing the translation, Ye Chunqiu frowned, but was not angry, but said, "If you agree to duel with me, you will win, and you will get six thousand guns, three hundred cannons, and five hundred thousand taels of silver."

This bet was almost twice as much as that of Ivan and others who tried to blackmail the court.

When Ivan heard this, he was slightly shocked, obviously a little moved, but he has always been cautious and can get rewards for nothing now, so why do you need to make trouble?

Ivan said: "I'm afraid we need to consider this matter. Besides, if Duke Zhenguo wants to figure it out, you have another saying that you are "no-foot" and "no-foot" and "no-foot" at that time, if Duke Zhenguo is like the Duke Guangfeng Hou, no one will blame others.

In two days, the bet with Your Majesty will begin. How can Ye Chunqiu wait?

Moreover, there is a threat in this sentence. It basically means that you, Ye Chunqiu, will not be the opponent of the strongman. Once you lose, the strongman will not leave any affection. At that time, you will either die or be injured.

The translation conveyed the message, and Zhu Zaiyao was already frowning deeply, with worries on his face. The little guy was already worried.

Ye Chunqiu had already grown up, but he just smiled and said, "The sword has no eyes, and everything can be made in advance. If I die, it is naturally no wonder that others will be able to make a letter. However... I have a small request... I not only have to challenge your strong men, but also all your entourages. I heard that you brought more than thirty people, more than 20 of them were strong men. This is great. Let them go together. What skills do the strong men of Ross have? Even if they use them, I will say first. If you lose, don't blame me for hurting you. Life and death are destined, wealth and honor are in heaven. If you want to fight, tomorrow will begin. At that time, I will wait in the Confucian Temple."

Ivan's face changed instantly.

The previous sentence is fine, but the next sentence is unreasonable. The Duke Zhenguo's tone is so arrogant that he actually wants to challenge all their strong men? You know, even a strong man is enough to rampant the entire Ming Dynasty capital, let alone more than twenty?

This is no longer a challenge, it is clearly a provocation. The country of Ross advocates force, and no strongman can tolerate such "humiliation".

But Ye Chunqiu was completely speaking, and finally bowed to Ivan leisurely and said, "For tomorrow's appointment, I hope that the envoys and the strong men will arrive early. Chunqiu is waiting for the big carriage and say goodbye first."
