Chapter 1007: Impact Chapter 1007: Impact Editor: Atlas Studios As soon as the Portuguese envoy entered, he heard blood-curdling screams coming from the two viscountsâ courtyard.
Startled, he asked, âWhat happened?â The servant hurriedly ran over and replied, âA few young masters from the Princeâs estate are treating the viscount.â Was this treatment or murder?
The Portuguese envoy had just returned from the government office with a stomach full of anger.
When he heard this, he headed to the small courtyard without thinking.
Little An and Little Lion were kneeling on the bed and rubbing the medicinal wine on Joaoâs body with all their might.
At first, he could still scream, but now, he no longer had any strength left and could only snort.
Little Lion even asked as he rubbed him, âDoes it hurt?
Does it hurt?â Joao was in so much pain that he didnât have the strength to answer.
He could only look at him with a twisted face.
Little Lion said regretfully, âIt doesnât hurt?
Itâs okay.
Iâll exert more strength then.
If it doesnât hurt, it wonât dissipate.â He continued to press down hard.
Joaoâs eyes rolled back and he was about to faint when Little An pressed down hard as well.
Feeling the sharp stab of pain, Joao woke up from the pain before he could faint from the pain.
Tiger Head and Qi Wensu, on the other hand, stood below the bed while enthusiastically giving them guidance.
Jose was pacing around anxiously at the side, and Tiger Head even took the time to comfort him.
âYour big brother will be fine.
We often rub medicinal wine like this when we get injured from practicing martial arts.â Jose was suspicious.
âDoes it hurt that much?â Tiger Head nodded.
âOf course.
I cried the first time medicine was applied on my body.â Jose could only look at his big brother sympathetically.
âLetâs not fight in the future, okay?
It hurts too much to fight with you guys.â Tiger Head pursed his lips.
âYou guys started it.â Jose was unconvinced.
âClearly, you were the one who hit me first.â âYou were the one who pointed at my Brother Little An first.
You pointed at Brother Little Anâs nose with your finger, and I canât hit you for that?â Jose was confused.
âWhy canât I point my finger at Little Anâs nose?â Tiger Head said with contempt, âYouâre so dumb.
Donât you know that pointing at people with your fingers is an insult?
Our sages said that a scholar can be killed but not humiliated.
My Brother Little An is going to be the top scholar in the future, the top of the top.
If he doesnât even react when you point your finger in his face, how can he be the top scholar in the future?â Jose still didnât understand, but he knew that the fight seemed to have been caused by him pointing at Little An.
Tiger Head continued, âI only bent your fingers to make you remember this lesson.
Who knew that your big brother would hit my second brother and Brother Little An?â Tiger Head curled his lips and said, âYour big brother is shameless.
Fancy bullying two five or six-year-old children at the age of 13.
In Great Qi, one can already get a wife at the age of 13.
Meanwhile, weâre still children.â In Portugal, a 13-year-old could also already get married.
Jose suddenly felt that what he said made sense and could not refute it for a moment.
Seeing that he couldnât refute, Tiger Head became happy.
In the past, he had always relied on his fists to speak, but this was the first time he had defeated the other party with words.
His smugness made him become more talkative.
âActually, you guys do deserve a beating.
Who asked you to be bad people?
You actually invaded Luzon, causing the children there to lose their parents, go without food, and have no clothes to wear.
How pitiful.
My big brother and Brother Little Treasure even took our pocket money and wanted to buy clothes and food to support them.
If you didnât invade Luzon, that wouldnât have happened.
With that money, we couldâve bought a lot of delicious food and have funĂąâŹÂŠâ Jose opened his mouth and only managed to speak after a long time.
âTheyâre explorers.
Theyâre here to expand our territory for our great Emperor.â This was what he had been taught since he was young.
However, Tiger Head curled his lips in disdain.
âThatâs not some unoccupied wilderness waiting for you to expand your territory to.
Thatâs Luzon, and they already have their own Emperor.
You rushed to someone elseâs house and killed their parents and brothers.
Then, you told your king that this is the territory you opened up.
Even worse, you expect the survivors to be grateful that you gave them a household registration and let them work for you.
How shameless.â âNonsense!â The Portuguese envoy rushed in angrily and glared at Tiger Head with red eyes.
âThis is slander.
This is slander against Portugal.
Please take back such words.â When Little An and Little Lion saw the envoy rush in, they jumped down from the bed nimbly and blocked Tiger Head and the Second Prince from the left and right.
They glared at him.
âWhat are you trying to do?
How dare you bully my younger brother?
Do you believe that Iâll beat you up and make you look for your teeth all over the ground?â After taking a deep breath, the envoy suppressed the anger on his face.
He looked at the four children deeply for a while before squeezing out a stiff smile and saying, âYoung Masters, you have a huge prejudice against my country.
Luzon is still of the tribal model.
The natives there donât even know the basic farming techniques.
Our explorers will bring them advanced farming techniques and technology, as well as huge wealth.
We are helping them, not invading their land.
Our explorers have always been friendly.â The four children didnât understand, but they firmly believed that Mu Yangling was right.
Since Mu Yangling had said that Portugal had invaded Luzon, that must be it.
Tiger Head was just quoting a metaphor that Mu Yangling had made when teaching them this.
Because the image was vivid, even Tiger Head remembered it.
Because of this, the four children, who didnât understand profound words, firmly thought that the envoy was just defending himself.
While Little Lion, Tiger Head, and Qi Wensu didnât know how to refute him, Little An grasped the crux of the issue and only asked, âYou kill their families and you call that âfriendlyâ?
You can force them to submit to you just because you think itâs âfor their own goodâ?â The envoy said righteously, âThis is a last resort and weâre doing this for their own good.
When they come to understand this in the future, theyâll thank us.â The four childrenâs eyes flickered.
Little An said in surprise, âHuh.
So will your family thank us if we kill you now?â Tiger Head added seriously, âWeâre doing this for your own good.â Little Lion chuckled.
âIâll send you to see Buddha in advance.
Amitabha!â Qi Wensu stuck his head out from behind and said with sparkling eyes, âThen letâs do more good deeds and kill them all.
Their families will be grateful to us, right?â Seeing that the envoy was so livid that his face turned purple but couldnât do anything to them, the four children made faces and ran out.
As Little An walked out, he even instigated Joao and Jose.
âStop hanging out with them.
Theyâre so stupid that theyâll make you stupid too.â Joao and Jose lowered their heads and did not speak.
After all, the two of them were a few years older.
In the past few days, their outlook on life, worldview, and values had been greatly impacted.
They were not like the four children who were still muddle-headed and were purely refuting with words.
They already vaguely realized that the envoyâs words were just an excuse on the surface.
The true essence was that they needed the land, the laborers, and the port of Luzon.
That could bring them benefits.
Joao thought more deeply.
Did the envoy and the adults know this?
They knew that they were bad people, but they still did those things that made them bad people anyway.
Were they really expanding their territory for their Emperor?
Or was it for the title of nobility after the expansion of the territory, for their future status and wealth?
Was he going to be one of them?
Joao was in a daze, while Jose was simply sad at the realization that he truly was the bad person Tiger Head had mentioned.
He was a bad person!
But he clearly wanted to be a good person.
The child, who was only ten-odd years old, looked at his brother helplessly with tears in his eyes.
However, the envoy did not understand the conflict in the brothersâ hearts.
He only said hatefully, âDonât let them come here again in the future.
The people of Great Qi are very unfriendly to us.
The two viscounts should just recuperate in the courtyard.â
