~~~~~~

Seeing that his precious son had finally regained consciousness, Chen Yougen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Yuanqing with some shame: "Li Shuai, this matter...hey. Look, I, Lao Chen, will serve you a drink to apologize tonight."

Poor parents in the world!

But with Li Yuanqing's identity, how could he care about a child like Chen Zihua who has not yet fully grown his hair?

He smiled and patted Chen Yougen on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Chen, my family doesn't speak the same language. It's almost time. Let's have some lunch and go over for lunch!"

Chen Yougen hurriedly handed over his hands respectfully: "It all depends on Li Shuai."

Li Yuanqing smiled and called his soldiers to go to the back kitchen to get some side dishes for them to eat first to fill their stomachs.

This kind of luncheon is almost almost two o'clock. It is obviously not a real meal, and everyone knows it well.

Soon, the fire soldiers brought some side dishes, and Li Yuanqing was not polite. He greeted Chen Yougen and his son, and started eating.

Chen Yougen was really hungry, and he ate quite deliciously.

Chen Zihua, on the other hand, always remained respectful enough, lowered his head, and only dared to eat the food on the plate next to him, never daring to covet anyone else.

By this time, Chen Zihua had fully understood that there seemed to be a small age difference between him and Li Yuanqing, but~~, whether it was status, skill, scheming, or strength, there was no comparison at all!

Even the Chen family may be nothing more than ants in Li Yuanqing's eyes.

Although Chen Zihua is "pedantic" or he is not deeply involved in the world, after all, he has been familiar with history books since he was a child and has his own world view.

When he learned about Li Yuanqing's life, he also understood that he might never be able to climb a mountain like Li Yuanqing's in his lifetime!

After a brief lunch, Li Yuanqing went upstairs to change clothes, while Chen Yougen and Chen Zihua and his son took a temporary rest in the living room on the first floor.

But Chen Yougen has been keeping his eyes closed and concentrating, ignoring the words of his precious son next to him.

Chen Zihua had completely woken up at this time and hurriedly whispered to Chen Yougen: "Dad, my child, my child knows that I was wrong."

Chen Yougen still ignored him, without any movement or expression. He was already extremely disappointed with his son.

Chen Zihua's eyes were also a little desperate. Looking at the soldiers who were busy around him, he certainly understood what was going to happen in the next banquet.

"Dad, my child, my child knows that I was wrong. My child is going to kowtow to Li Shuai and apologize." Chen Zihua said almost through gritted teeth.

Chen Yougen suddenly looked at his precious son coldly, "Apologise? Li Shuai doesn't care about your apology? If it weren't for you and me, I still have a thin face in front of Li Shuai, do you think you can still be here now?"

"father……"

Chen Zihua was speechless for a moment, "My child, my child doesn't want this! If you want to blame, I can only blame the man named Ma for being too insidious! He is completely misleading my child!"

Chen Yougen did not expect that at this time, his precious son would not even dare to take responsibility, and would also want to pass the responsibility to Master Ma, who was already a dead dog.

For a moment, he shook his head feebly, "Wait a minute, go out, you can find a place to rest by yourself! I want to have lunch with Li Shuai. In the evening, I will send someone to look for you."

"Ah? Dad, don't you plan to take your child to this lunch?"

Chen Zihua couldn't help but be shocked.

At today's luncheon, I am afraid that the most powerful people in Nanyang will be present, including his old Mr. Taishan from Jakarta, and his fiancée.

If he doesn't go, then...

"Dad! You, please be merciful! My child must go to this luncheon! Don't worry, my child will never cause trouble for you again! Father..."

Chen Yougen waved his hands irritably, "If you want to go, you can go alone! Don't come with me!"

"Ah? Dad, this..."

Only then did Chen Zihua realize that his father had probably given up on him completely.

But if he didn’t go with his father, Chen Yougen, let alone go to this luncheon, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even be able to get in!

this……

While he was struggling, Li Yuanqing, dressed in a bright red first-grade official robe and a white jade belt around his waist, strode upstairs and down.

Chen Yougen stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Li Shuai. It's getting late, let's go there early."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Master Chen, please."

"Li Shuai please."

The two exchanged a few words of humility, but Chen Yougen dared to walk in front of Li Yuanqing, so he respectfully let Li Yuanqing go first.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing and Chen Yougen were about to leave, Chen Zihua didn't care about anything else and shouted hurriedly: "Li Shuai, dad, I, I'm going too!"

Li Yuanqing was stunned and couldn't help but turn around and glance at Chen Zihua.

Chen You was so filled with hatred that he said coldly: "No one said not to let you go! But you'd better shut your bad mouth!"

Chen Zihua covered his mouth instinctively and followed behind Li Yuanqing and Chen Yougen without daring to say another word.

After walking out of the door, the carriage was ready. Li Yuanqing and Chen Yougen were riding in the same carriage. Chen Zihua thought for a while and finally carefully got into the carriage behind.

The Imperial Concubine Building is not far from Li Yuanqing's stronghold, less than two miles away, and can be reached in no time.

In the carriage, Li Yuanqing looked at Chen Yougen with a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, your son is not bad in nature, so I don't blame him so harshly."

Chen Yougen let out a long sigh, "Li Shuai, hey! I, Old Chen, am sorry for you! In order to save this evil obstacle, the soldiers suffered more than a hundred casualties!"

Li Yuanqing also sighed slowly: "Mr. Chen, people always die in wars! I will take the remains of these sons and daughters back to Changsheng Island for burial!"

Chen Yougen nodded heavily, "Li Shuai, our Chen family will definitely fulfill our responsibilities in this matter."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said nothing more.

The carriage quickly arrived at the Royal Concubine Building. At this time, there was already a busy traffic outside the door of the Royal Concubine Building.

Looking around, the originally wide street was full of people. There were probably more than a thousand horse-drawn carriages, including white people, natives, Chinese, black men, and all kinds of slaves.

It also makes people understand more clearly that those who come to the banquet on this trip are definitely either rich or noble!

Li Yuanqing's fleet returned to Brunei at noon, probably around 1 noon. At this time, although he had just nodded, the fact that the Ming army had smoothly encircled and suppressed Jack the Executioner had already been passed through various channels.

, spread in Brunei city.

At this juncture, there is a lot of noise, but naturally no one who has some energy dares to fall behind even half a step!

Regardless of whether they have received the invitation or not, anyone who has received the news must rush over first. Even if they force their way in, they must get inside and inquire and listen to what happened at the closest distance.

At this time, although the rain in the sky had stopped long ago, everyone knew that Brunei, and even the whole of Southeast Asia, was going to change!

Li Yuanqing got off the carriage, and Niu Gensheng led more than 300 soldiers and quickly rushed to the front to clear a path for Li Yuanqing.

Originally, this place was very crowded, but no one was blind. As soon as they saw Li Yuanqing's soldiers wearing bright red mandarin duck jackets, they instinctively moved out of the way respectfully.

"Li Shuai is lucky!"

"Li Shuai!"

"Li Shuai..."

Seeing Li Yuanqing get off the carriage, everyone greeted Li Yuanqing enthusiastically, whether he knew them or not, and even if they called Li Yuanqing, they all felt that they were being honored.

Li Yuanqing didn't show off, he smiled and handed over to everyone one by one, and strode inside.

Chen Yougen and his son followed Li Yuanqing.

Among the people, there were not a few who knew Chen Yougen and his son. As soon as they saw the appearance of Chen Yougen and his son, everyone understood that the news this morning was definitely true!

"Master Chen!"

"Master Chen, what exactly is going on? Can you tell us first?"

"Master Chen..."

But Chen Yougen had no intention of talking to them at this time. He held his hands up and rushed into the imperial concubine building.

Everyone started shouting Chen Zihua's name again, hoping that Chen Zihua would come out and explain a few words.

Originally, Chen Zihua enjoyed the feeling of being a star among the crowd, but he suddenly remembered his father's attitude just now and did not dare to say any more, so he hurriedly followed behind Chen Yougen.

When everyone outside saw the rightful owner coming, they tried their best to get in and join in the fun.

But at this time, the hall inside the Imperial Concubine Building was almost overcrowded.

There are whites, natives, and Chinese, especially Chinese, who make up the vast majority.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already gone up the stairs and arrived at the terrace on the second floor, where the main table was today.

At this time, at the main table, Manila's 'representative' Morientes, closely 'accompanied' by Jin Huizi, was already greeting the guests.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Morientes stood up quickly, came to Li Yuanqing with a charming smile, and introduced Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Li Shuai, this is the Portuguese special envoy to Malacca, Mr. Francisco. This is

This is the Dutch envoy to Jakarta, Mr. Peter. This is the representative of the East India Company in Jakarta, Mr. William Lee."

Morientes introduced several important guests at the table to Li Yuanqing in turn.

Finally, he whispered in Li Yuanqing's ear and added: "General, they are all Nanyang experts and all speak Chinese. You can communicate with them directly in Chinese."

Li Yuanqing smiled, patted Morientes' shoulder affectionately, and said to everyone at the table with a smile: "Gentlemen, special envoys, I am very happy to meet you! I am your new friend, from the great Ming Empire.

Li Yuanqing! He is also the owner of Pan Pacific Trading Company!"

Although Francisco, Peter, and William Li had known for a long time that Li Yuanqing must be a strong person, they did not expect that Li Yuanqing could be so strong with a simple self-introduction. Are you trying to challenge them?

After a moment, Francisco, the representative of the Portuguese, said in his somewhat stiff Chinese: "Honorable General Li, you are really a humorous person!"
