Li Chengyuan snorted, "Master Shen has a good plan. If I give Sean to you now...
Then once we get to the capital, won't I be at your mercy?
By then, you can find any excuse to delay and not return it to Yan Bingyun.
And if something unexpected happens to Yan Bingyun, how will I explain this to His Majesty?"
Shen Zhong's face was a little stiff.
He didn't expect Li Chengyuan to be so difficult.
Logically speaking, since the envoys from Qing State have come to Qi State, they should follow the host's wishes.
You came here on your own initiative to exchange hostages, so it is only right that you return the hostages first.
But Li Chengyuan just doesn't play by the rules!
He insisted that both parties release the person!
But Qi couldn't find any fault with this, after all, this was what was agreed upon in the contract between the two countries.
Coupled with Li Chengyuan's identity, Shen Zhong didn't dare to say even a harsh word.
Otherwise, if Li Chengyuan was upset, it would be a serious diplomatic incident, and Shen Zhong could not bear this responsibility.
So after hesitating for a moment, Shen Zhong could only say, "Your Highness, are you saying that you will only give Sean to us if we hand Yan Bingyun over to you?"
"Of course!" Li Chengyuan said, "Does Lord Shen disagree with my opinion?"
"No, no! Everything will be done as Your Highness says!" Shen Zhong said hurriedly.
There was no other way. At this point, Shen Zhong had to let Li Chengyuan take it, unless he tried to snatch it away by force.
Of course, I also thought that the Qi State didn't value Sean at all.
Shen Zhong asked for Sean to torture him.
Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Tang does not want to hand over the person immediately, let them watch for now.
Anyway, Sean will be replaced sooner or later.
Don't rush this!
After the matter was discussed, Shen Zhong was about to lead Li Chengyuan into the pass.
However, just after the two of them took a few steps forward, several elderly maids suddenly came over.
No one knows the identities of these old ladies, and each of them has eyes on the back of their heads.
As soon as he came over, he didn't even greet me and asked questions directly.
"Where's Miss Si?"
Li Chengyuan glanced at the old lady, then looked at Shen Zhong with an unhappy expression.
Shen Zhong's face stiffened again, and he cursed inwardly, then hurriedly smiled and said, "Mammy, this is His Royal Highness the Tang King of Qing. Please don't be rude!"
However, the old nanny ignored all this and continued with a cold face, "What about the King of Tang or not? Our Qi Kingdom is a great country, how can these Qing people compare? I only recognize our Prince of Qi, not any Prince of Qing!"
Li Chengyuan's expression immediately turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "Sir Shen, is this a show of force from Qi?"
Shen Zhong quickly apologized, "I dare not! Your Highness, please forgive me. This is an old man in our palace. He is a little ignorant of etiquette and has offended Your Highness. Please don't blame me!"
Li Chengyuan snorted coldly and said, "Since Lord Shen said so, I can give you a favor."
But please give me an explanation, Lord Shen.
This is the first time in my life that someone has looked down upon me like this!
I have to say, your hospitality is truly eye-opening for me!"
As soon as Li Chengyuan said this, before Shen Zhong could say anything, the Minister of Rites over there could no longer sit still!
Who is Li Chengyuan?
He is a literary saint who could write such a great work as "The Great Learning"!
Although the title of "Sage of Literature" has not yet been recognized by the literary circles of Qing Kingdom.
However, Li Chengyuan's status in ritual studies was indeed recognized by the Ministry of Rites of Qi and Qing.
It is no exaggeration to say that every word and action of Li Chengyuan now can influence the study of etiquette.
If Li Chengyuan is not satisfied with Qi's hospitality today, and the news gets out, their Qi Ministry of Rites will be disgraced.
So the Minister of Rites could no longer sit still and ran over, saying to Shen Zhong with a dark face:
"Master Shen, what's wrong with you? Why don't you drive these crazy women away quickly?
If you offend His Majesty the King of Tang and cause our Qi State to lose its courtesy, can you bear the responsibility?"
In fact, Shen Zhong had long been impatient with these old maids.
But he didn't dare to do anything to them because of the Empress Dowager's reputation.
Now that someone has stepped forward to take the blame, he naturally won't be polite anymore.
"Come here!" Shen Zhong waved his hand, and several soldiers came over immediately.
"Drag these people away and lock them up. Do not let them out without my order!"
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately dragged several maids away.
The leading nanny had never suffered such an injustice before, and she immediately started cursing.
"Shen Zhong, if you dare to detain us, I will make us file a complaint against you in front of the Queen Mother!"
"Also, it was the Queen Mother who personally ordered us to take Miss Si back.
If you lock us up, and something happens to Miss Si, can you bear the responsibility?"
The leading nanny walked and shouted, but no one paid any attention to her.
Several soldiers dragged him away.
The scene was finally quiet!
However, after several maids (Noma Zhao) were dragged away, Shen Zhong couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Your Highness, is Miss Si in your carriage?"
"What, Miss Si?" Li Chengyuan asked calmly, "Is there such a clause in the documents between the two countries?"
"No, no!" Shen Zhong said hurriedly, "It's just that our Queen Mother said that you have a Miss Si here who needs us to take back!"
Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Then you can ask your queen mother, it has nothing to do with me!
Anyway, I don’t know what Miss Si is! "
Shen Zhong's expression changed from gloomy to bright when he heard this.
Sean can't be brought back!
Miss Si can’t be taken back either!
Doesn't that mean he hasn't completed his mission this time?
Shen Zhong was in an extremely bad mood. He had realized that His Royal Highness the King of Tang had come on this mission with bad intentions!
Shen Zhong was thinking about how to fight for it again.
However, Li Chengyuan didn't give him time and asked directly, "Why? Lord Shen still wants to search my carriage? Is this also the way you treat guests in Qi?"
"Sir Shen!" Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites of Qi State became anxious again and asked loudly again: "What are you doing? What are you talking about Miss Si or not? This is an exchange between two countries, a major national event. How can it be mixed with personal feelings?"
If you continue to lose sight of the distinction between public and private matters and harm the reputation of Qi, don't blame me for reporting you to the Queen Mother!"
Shen Zhong: “….”
Shen Zhong was so angry that he wanted to pinch his Ren Zhong!
What a bunch of pig teammates!
How can we talk about Yi?
There's no way to talk about it!
Shen Zhong sighed in his heart and could only give up temporarily.
He didn't dare to hesitate any longer and directly extended his hand and said, "It is your humble servant who is rude. Your Highness, please enter the customs!"
Li Chengyuan nodded lightly, then smiled at the Minister of Rites and stepped into the pass.
When the Minister of Rites saw this, his face suddenly became as bright as a chrysanthemum!
did you see!
The sage of etiquette is smiling at me!!!
Shen Zhong: “….”
Chapter 189 Si Lili's life experience! Farewell conversation with Si Lili!
After entering the territory of Qi, the delegation still faced a long journey.
However, this time the number of people was doubled.
But for Li Chengyuan, traveling in Qi was far less comfortable than traveling in Qing.
While traveling in the territory of Qing Kingdom, he did whatever he wanted.
No one dares to control him.
So even if Li Chengyuan stayed in the carriage all day, no one dared to say anything.
But it doesn’t work in Qi.
No one here can control him though.
But once Li Chengyuan entered Qi, he would represent the reputation of Qing.
So we have to do enough superficial work on many things.
He needed to ride in his own carriage, and only the blue bird could accompany him in the carriage.
During the break, he also had to have dinner with the Qi delegation.
Because the Qi delegation wanted to treat him well to show their respect for him.
This made Li Chengyuan feel uncomfortable.
