"..."

Yan Huaishi, who had been listening attentively, staggered when he heard the last sentence, and Helianzheng just got up and fell down again.

The people in the South China Sea all let out a "ha" sound, and a whirlwind caused by air currents rolled over the pier again.

The Nanhai officials raised their heads and were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the Chief Envoy in the center who could no longer sit still and had a pale face.

I wanted to give people a warning and wait until the imperial envoy was in the most embarrassing situation before I came out and laughed. I didn't want people to be threatened. I put them into an embarrassing situation with just a few words and didn't even get off the ship when it was sinking. Whatever you pick up, you still have to use it to cook food. It’s just cooking food, but you also need Mr. Zhou to light the fire!

You still have to burn it - His Highness has already laid out chopsticks, so what does it mean to burn it?

What's more, for such a high-sounding reason, you can't even try to make things difficult. Tens of thousands of people are watching. They can cherish food for the people, but you can't even light a fire? Why don't you go and light a fire in that sinking ship? You don’t love the people!

The powerful position that Mr. Zhou has held in the hearts of the people for more than ten years will also be gone.

Cruel! So cruel!

Zhou Xizhong's face was livid. He never expected that the imperial envoy would come up with such a move. It was really upsetting. Now he was the one who was forced to go to Liangshan. He broke the ship, and now he had to board the broken ship and sink him. He was also in embarrassment, and the chief envoy who burned fire will follow him for the rest of his life.

These princes in the imperial capital and the officials in the feudal territories all know something about Ning Yi. Zhou Xizhong only knows about the affairs of the King of Chu. Ning Yi has not directly come to the stage for the events that have happened in the court over the past few years. The inside story is from Zhou Xizhong who is far away in the South China Sea. He didn't know clearly, but Wei Zhi, in his view, was just a jester who rose to prominence in vain. It was precisely because he took the two of them lightly that he dared to privately incite the people to petition and cause trouble, and he didn't want to suffer the consequences directly. .

Gu Nanyi sent out the invitation on the big ship and did not give Zhou Xizhong time to think about it. He pointed accurately in his direction from a distance and said: "His Highness said, if Mr. Zhou finished reading the "Overseas Kingdoms" , please quickly get on board and light the fire."

Zhou Xizhong subconsciously threw the book on the chair, and his staff hurriedly removed the book and the chair parasol.

"Go and call the ship repair team." Zhou Xizhong told the counselors with a cold face, "The ship will sink in half a quarter of an hour. Ask them to send everyone into the water and repair the ship within half a quarter of an hour. No matter what method is used, , at least give me an hour to ensure that the ship cannot sink. If anyone lets me fall into the water, I will let anyone fall!"

"Yes!"

With a sneer, Zhou Xizhong straightened his clothes and raised his voice: "Nanhai Chief Envoy Zhou Xizhong, led by the Nanhai officials, respectfully greets His Majesty the King of Chu!"

The people of Nanhai moved out of the way. Zhou Xizhong took the lead in the center of the crowd. Nanhai officials all knelt down and bowed down to the big ship from a distance.

Yan Huaishi stepped aside and let out a long sigh of relief. For a moment, he almost burst into tears - he thought that today he would either be beaten by the crowd or sink into the water. He didn't want this to happen. Zhou Bawang, who dominates the South China Sea and is uncompromising, finally finally Bow down.

Ning Yi stood far away on the bow of the ship, holding his hands on the side of the ship, his expression as usual. His moon-white brocade robe was as elegant as bamboo, and the golden mandala on his dark black cloak was flamboyant and coquettish. It was dancing like waves in the wind. He was so indifferent. Looking over, even though they were so far away, everyone felt that his heavy and cold gaze was covering them.

"Your Majesty, I received some teachings from Your Highness, and I was terrified." Zhou Xizhong continued, "I know that I have committed a lot of sins, so I ask Your Majesty to allow me to lead the officials of the fourth rank and above in the South China Sea to set fire to Shangguan's ship."

Feng Zhiwei, who had been choosing dishes on the deck, raised his eyebrows.

It would be too embarrassing for one person to get on the boat and light a fire in front of everyone. It would not be obvious to light a fire together. It would also appear that the government is united in turning an embarrassing incident into a harmonious officialdom show. It is a good idea.

Bringing so many people here, the majority will bully the minority? Feng Zhi smiled.

No one answered him. Ning Yi turned around calmly. Only Master Gu stood on the side of the ship and waved firewood to Zhou Xizhong - Come and light the fire!

Someone put down a few sampans, and the splendid officials of Nankai Road got on the boats and rowed over. The students of Qingming Academy lined up in two rows, expressing their infinite pride and respect for Nankai with their eyes. Official humiliation.

Many people on the shore have left, but there are still many people who are still looking around, not knowing what they are waiting for.

The officials boarded the boat, and Ning Cheng waited at the hatch, each of them handed out a handful of firewood.

"His Royal Highness said that the ceremony will be waived." Ning Cheng said, "The dried fish is not steamed enough, so please hurry up."

Zhou Xizhong grabbed the handful of firewood, knowing that Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei were deliberately humiliating him but had to accept it. His dark face turned purple. Some subordinates who were accustomed to his usual majesty looked at him sideways and wanted to laugh. I didn’t dare to laugh, it was so hard to hold it in.

Yan Huaishi took them to the ship's kitchen. This ship was a refitted official ship funded by the Yan family. It didn't look unusual on the outside, but it was exquisite and complete on the inside. There were a long series of large stoves, with thick mud on the bottom and double layers. The metal plate was not afraid of damaging the deck. Yan Huaishi bowed to Zhou Xizhong with some joy, pointed at the stove mouth, and said with a smile: "Please."

Zhou Xizhong looked at the bare stove mouth and said, holding back his anger: "Why isn't there even a chair?"

"My lord, what you said is wrong." Feng Zhiwei walked over holding a crab and said with a smile, "I heard that your lord also comes from a poor family. Although a gentleman is far away from the kitchen and is now pampered, he should also know that sitting on a chair There is no way to light a fire."

"Sir Wei." A counselor bowed to her, "Can you find a horse for us? The rest of us can just squat."

Feng Zhiwei said seriously: "After the boat was hit just now, all the mats were used to plug the holes. I'm really sorry."

The Nanhai officials were speechless with grief and indignation. After a while, Zhou Xizhong angrily lifted his robe and squatted down to light the fire. A large number of people squatted behind his buttocks.

The fire was still burning after squatting down for a long time. The firewood given by Master Gu was half wet. Thick smoke was everywhere, choking the officials and coughing, and their faces were all black.

The fire was finally lit, and Ning Cheng kept running to remind her: "The chopsticks are ready...is the fish steamed?"

"The bowl cloth is ready...the crabs aren't served yet?"
