1229 Intentional arrangement
"From today onwards, the Wa Kingdom is a vassal state of China, paying tribute every year, waiting for dispatch, and never betraying." Himiko immediately made a solemn promise.
Good! Wang Baoyu patted Himihu's thick shoulder appreciatively, Himihu didn't dodge, but leaned towards Wang Baoyu's side, looking from a distance, it looked more like a fat child standing next to Wang Baoyu.
"This Himiko seems to have bad intentions, huh?"
Ma Yunlu on the side couldn't help muttering, Zhang Qiying smiled and gave her a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Now even my sister can read other people's minds!" β
"If you can't see, unless you're blind!" Ma Yunlu said disdainfully.
Himiko's personality is very cheerful, and he has told a lot of interesting things that happened in the Wa Kingdom, and he is not lonely along the way. Xu Shu met You Heng, and his words were very polite, but You Heng had a posture of nostrils facing the sky, and he didn't take Xu Shu in his eyes at all, and he said very little.
This is not surprising, in You Heng's limited memory, Xu Shu is not a big man at all, when he was treated as a guest by Cao Cao and others, Xu Shu was still a young man who was worried about filling his stomach.
Himiko was deeply impressed by Youheng's piano skills, and although Youheng never looked at her squarely, she always had to hear the end of the song every night before she went back to rest.
A week later, the ocean ship arrived on the island of Kyushu, and Himiko graciously invited everyone to visit the island for a few days, and then it was not too late to visit the Thousand Illusion Islands.
Wang Baoyu nodded and agreed, after walking at sea for so long, he really needed to rest and replenish some supplies.
Everyone got off the Ocean Voyage, and the accompanying soldiers rested on the shore, which was arranged by Ma Yunlu to prevent the Japanese from turning their faces.
Ma Yunlu himself never left Wang Baoyu's left and right, responsible for men's safety work, but Zhang Qiying hummed a little song easily, disapproving, she found out some of Himihu's thoughts, and she would definitely not harm Wang Baoyu.
Hearing that the queen had returned, the important ministers of the Wa Kingdom came to greet them, and hundreds of people were quite large-scale, including Yin Taro, who was arrested by Wang Baoyu, and the official position of the leader of the soldiers and horses, which was equivalent to the captain.
Don't look at Himiko being respectful in front of Wang Baoyu, in front of his officials, but he is very majestic, and he is completely cold and high-minded.
The officials bowed their heads and kissed Himihu's shoes, their faces were full of sneer, and Himihu asked them to come over and kiss Wang Baoyu's shoes, but Wang Baoyu resolutely refused, thinking about these dirty saliva is disgusting enough.
Afterwards, Wang Baoyu and Himi got into a carriage and went to a nearby palace in front of each other.
"Hehe, what method did you use to make these big men so docile?" Wang Baoyu asked with a smile.
"If anyone dares to disobey, kill him immediately, and in time they will be afraid." A hint of cruelty flashed in Himiko's eyes.
"Will it kill innocents indiscriminately?"
"I know them all out, when the mother cat gives birth, how many vegetables she grows, who she owes a debt to, and how ......smart her children are," Himiko said confidently.
Wang Baoyu's head was sweating a little, this humble mouth was too strong, and the spy organization under him must be very large.
It's winter now, there is not much scenery on the island, but I see a lot of Japanese people, dressed very plainly, men are basically blue-gray robes, women's clothes are more colorful, but they are also black, white and gray, at most some dark green, bright colors.
"The people here don't seem to be short." Ma Yunlu discussed with Zhang Qiying in a low voice as he walked.
"Maybe it's just humble and short." Zhang Qiying echoed in a low voice.
Wang Baoyu also discovered this phenomenon, especially women, who are taller than Himihu, and they all say that they are the generals of the Tsuki, and they are used here in Himihu, which is probably the opposite. It may be because the Wa Kingdom attaches great importance to the inside and does not pay attention to the appearance, Wang Baoyu came to the Himiko Palace after analyzing it like this.
The scale is not large, it is equivalent to the mansion of a high-ranking official in the mainland, of course, the luxury Cheng dΓΉ can't even catch up with the mansion of a third-grade official. Wang Baoyu walked in with Himihu, Ma Yunlu and Zhang Qiying naturally refused to leave half a step, and Xu Shu and You Heng were arranged to rest in the so-called post house.
There are also some rockeries, bridges, and flowing water in the palace, which are obviously influenced by the Han people. There is a big house in the middle, and there is a hut in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and the location is relatively regular, probably designed by learning the five elements of Taoism.
When the queen returned, there were distinguished guests, and the servants in the palace hurriedly bowed down and ran out. As soon as he saw these people, Ma Yunlu couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, no wonder there were no dwarves all the way, they were all here! Ma Yunlu looked around carefully and felt that these people should not be in any danger, and they were not enough to kick them, so he was relieved.
Wang Baoyu was also very surprised that the servants who served Himiko in the palace, both men and women, were even shorter than Himiko, as if they had entered Lilliputia.
Wang Baoyu couldn't cry or laugh, obviously this phenomenon was deliberately arranged by Himiko, in order to highlight his status. Wang Baoyu, who is of medium height, has a bit of a powerful posture, and his self-confidence is there, but his aesthetics are poor, and he feels very strange.
Subsequently, Wang Baoyu and his entourage followed Himihu into the big house, the furnishings inside are not luxurious, mostly some fired exquisite porcelain, there are not too many feminine characteristics, but it is very clean, spotless, the whole house is covered with floors, take off your shoes and walk on it, warm, it can be seen that there should be a fire below, this design is very advanced.
The good wine and food were soon put on the table, and a man and three women sat cross-legged on the ground, with a table in front of each of them, and ate their meals separately.
Ma Yunlu tasted Wang Baoyu's food very responsibly, for fear that it would be poisonous, which made Wang Baoyu very moved.
Himiko was very disdainful of this, and felt that it was rude, and even if he wanted to taste it, he should eat it instead of stirring it on a plate. Because of Wang Baoyu's face, he still pretended to smile, obviously, if Ma Yunlu was not brought by Wang Baoyu, he would definitely be killed by her order at this time.
The food is still delicious, and the taste of the wine is much lighter than what Wang Baoyu usually drinks, and only after heating will it exude some aroma. After eating and drinking, Himiko said, "There is a hot spring at the back of this house, can the king take a bath?" β
Wang Baoyu hasn't taken a bath for a few days, the main reason is to save water, after all, the fresh water on the ship is limited, as soon as he heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Great, my body is full of wrinkles." β
Ma Yunlu and Zhang Qiying are also very excited, they really haven't been in a hot spring for a long time, and it's not worth the trip. So Himiko led the three of them to the back of the house, where there were several cubicles, and when one was pushed open, there was a large steaming pool inside.
