When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 663 King Yi: You should have said it earlier! If you had said it earlier, I would have knelt down earlier!

"Angel, come forward. Our king is ahead."

The islanders uttered words that were completely different from Chinese, and used their hands and feet.

Ma Liang nodded to show that he understood what the islanders meant.

Everyone looked in the direction the islander pointed, and saw a burly man sitting in a house made of rammed earth.

The men's clothing was not much different from that of other islanders, except for some minor differences. They wore coarse cloth inside and animal skin outside, with a necklace made of animal teeth hanging around their necks. In their hands, they held a pen made of charcoal and wrote and drew on the stone slab.

An indescribable feeling intertwined together, constantly impacting everyone's eyes.

When Ma Liang, Kou Feng, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others looked at the man, the man also looked at them. The man narrowed his eyes and had a cunning look in his eyes.

Ma Liang sighed in his heart: In terms of civilization, Yi Island is far superior to Wo Island. If I am not mistaken, there should be words on the stone slab. This house is built by tamping the loess with wooden sticks to make it dense and hard. It is said that people lived in such houses during the ancient Shang Dynasty. In addition, they actually mastered the weaving technology?
Although Ma Liang was surprised, fortunately he had been training for a long time in the crew, and it was easier for him to control his facial expressions than to eat or drink. As long as he wanted to stay calm, he would not frown even if the blade was close to his neck.

As military generals, Kou Feng, Sun Ce, and Lu Meng looked down on what King Yi showed them. What kind of broken copper and rotten iron? Isn't this like showing off a big axe in front of Lu Ban? Ridiculous, ridiculous.

Zhou Yu noticed a clue. He didn't expect that the Yi people were more civilized than the ordinary barbarians.

Of course he also saw through Ma Liang's intention, so he pretended to be indifferent.

King Yi was very surprised. He saw everyone's reactions. He thought that they would be more or less surprised. He never expected that they would be completely dismissive of his magnificent house, beautiful clothes, and elegant articles.

This aroused King Yi's great curiosity. Could it be that those monsters emitting white smoke and floating on the sea were really as they said, that they were driving the monsters, rather than the monsters driving them?

King Yi clapped his hands, and three or five islanders came out of the house carrying pottery jars.

Sun Ce attacked Lu Meng and several of his personal guards as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They instantly tensed their muscles and looked around vigilantly. If there was anything wrong, they would protect Ma Liang behind them.

King Yi smiled at everyone, pointed at the islanders' pottery jars, then pointed at his own mouth, and then shook his head.

"Huh? What is this barbarian doing?" Sun Ce frowned and asked in confusion.

Ma Liang saw most of it and said calmly, "Wine, this guy said there was wine in the jar."

"Wine? Barbarians have wine?" Sun Ce picked up the pottery jar in front of him, brought it to his nose, and sniffed it hard. "Wine, it really is wine."

Lu Meng said worriedly, "Is it poisonous?"

Perhaps King Yi guessed what Lu Meng said. He ordered the islanders to bring the pottery jar in front of everyone, and asked the islanders to pour him a glass of wine. He picked up the pottery bowl and drank it all.

After drinking, he shook the empty ceramic bowl in front of everyone.

Ma Liang attacked Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other in bewilderment, as this was to prove that there was no poison.

Everyone took the ceramic bowls, and the islanders filled them with wine. Everyone looked at the wine in the ceramic bowls with subtle expressions. It looked like wine brewed from corn, but it was hard to describe its appearance.

Everyone gritted their teeth and forced the wine down their throats. The bitter feeling immediately rushed out of their throats. It was too hard to drink!

Even Sun Ce, who loved wine, had a constipated expression. King Yi was stunned. He didn't understand whether the Han people couldn't appreciate fine wine or their wine was just too bad.
Just as King Yi was stunned, Ma Liang made a move. He opened his mouth and uttered a stumbling island accent, "Your Majesty, you have treated me with fine wine, so naturally we should return the gift with fine wine."

Ah? Wine? Return gift?
Ma Liang clapped his hands, and a soldier brought out a porcelain bottle. The moment the porcelain bottle appeared, it attracted the islanders, including the King of Yi.

They stared at the porcelain vase with their eyes wide open, muttering to themselves, "Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful!"

What made them feel even more incredible was what happened next. When the seal of the porcelain bottle was opened, the mellow aroma of wine wafted out. Just smelling this aroma, the islanders' desire for wine was instantly aroused, and drooling from the corners of their mouths.

King Yi gritted his teeth and kept telling himself in his heart, it's just wine, it's just wine.
As a king, how could he lose his composure like this?
I'm not interested in wine! Not interested! Really!
The porcelain bowl filled with wine was pushed in front of King Yi. King Yi looked down and saw that the wine in the bowl was translucent, like morning dew reflecting the light of the morning sun, which was dazzling.

He picked up the porcelain bowl tremblingly and swallowed mouthful of saliva.

"Smells, it smells so good!"

At this moment King Yi finally couldn't help it. He brought the porcelain bowl to his lips, took a sip first, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he started drinking in big gulps.

After finishing the drink, he glanced at Ma Liang in front of him with a guilty conscience, and saw that Ma Liang had a gentle expression and did not laugh at him. He could not help but feel a little ashamed. If it were him, he would definitely not be able to hold back.
Only then did he understand Sun Ce's expression just now. It turned out that what they had drunk before was horse urine!

Then wasn't his previous behavior no different from that of a monkey?
King Yi's face turned red, and he coughed a few times pretending to be calm, "Angel, let's talk business."

"Okay." Ma Liang put away his smile and began to explain the purpose of his visit.

King Yi had to admit that Ma Liang was the smartest and most eloquent person he had ever met. Ma Liang spoke the island language haltingly, but in an orderly manner, which did not arouse any disgust.

Ma Liang first described in vivid detail the Han people across the sea, a country much larger in area than this island, whose supreme ruler was the emperor.

The Ma Liang in front of him was only the emperor's envoy. The number of Han people was so large that it had to be described in tens of millions. Just calculating this number made King Yi sweat profusely.

What surprised him even more was that every Han Chinese could eat well, starting with two meals a day, sometimes three! There were vegetables and meat every day, children could read and write, and the older they got, the rarer they were in the court. When they reached a certain age, they would be given rice, oil, and meat! If they were sick, someone would treat them, and when they traveled, there would be white smoke monsters! Although alcohol was not cheap, if they worked hard, they could drink two or three times a day! Clothes were available in all colors, and they were so cheap that they could be hung all over the house!
Damn, how come this sounds more comfortable than being the king on the island? !
Compared with the Han people, they are simply savages!
King Yi was yearning for it but also a little worried. Would the Han people really accept them?

King Yi asked this question indirectly.

Ma Liang smiled and said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has ever heard of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms?"

"Six Kingdoms survivors?"

"Yes, a few hundred years ago, during the Warring States Period, a tribe from one of the six nations built a ship and fled to the sea to avoid the war. We followed the trail of this tribe and found this island. Does Your Majesty know the whereabouts of this tribe? We want to tell this tribe that the war is over and they can return to China."

King Yi's hands were shaking with excitement. How could he not understand what Ma Liang meant? This was to give him a suitable title. Even if they were not the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, they must now be the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!

Thinking of this, tears welled up in King Yi's eyes. He knelt down in front of Ma Liang with a plop. He choked up and said, "Yes, we are the survivors of the Six Kingdoms! We have waited so long for you to finally come!"

Sun Ce scratched his head and knelt down? Just like that? So fast?

If King Yi knew what Sun Ce was thinking, he would definitely say, "How fast is that? If you had said it earlier, I could have knelt even faster!"
