Li Wuyou didn't move.
He still stood there quietly and stared calmly at the other side.
The Prime Minister had made an inviting gesture.
"Superintendent …"
The Prime Minister's ghostly face stiffened, and he didn't know what to say.
"Prime Minister, is Dongying still a vassal of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Li Wuyou asked in a dark voice.
"This … of course."
The Prime Minister swallowed his saliva and replied stiffly.
"Dongying has been on good terms with the Great Zhou Dynasty for generations and is protected by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, they will always submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Very good."
Li Wuyou nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued.
"Then please answer me, Prime Minister. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the Prime Minister welcomes me, what kind of etiquette should the Prime Minister show?"
The Prime Minister's face became even more embarrassed.
His body stiffened.
He understood what Li Wuyou meant.
Of course, he knew that he should kneel.
However, he was the Prime Minister of Dongying after all.
He didn't want to bow and scrape in front of a eunuch of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, he deliberately didn't kneel.
He felt that the Great Zhou Dynasty was in internal strife, and there were some troubles in the East Sea. They should need Dongying's help to solve these problems.
Therefore, he thought that even if he didn't kneel, the other party wouldn't say anything.
He wanted to take advantage of a loophole.
However, what he didn't expect was that Li Wuyou would be so direct with him.
He was very embarrassed.
He didn't dare to say that Dongying wasn't a vassal of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Because if he said so, the Great Zhou Dynasty's Qinzhou Navy would come and wash the land of Dongying with blood.
Back then, a long time ago, the tribes of Dongying and the islands of the East Sea had formed a team.
They tried to compete with the Qinzhou Navy.
They tried to fight for opportunities for the tribes of the East Sea.
However, they were almost completely wiped out in front of the huge firepower of the Qinzhou Navy.
No one was left.
That naval battle was still a nightmare for the entire East Sea.
The Prime Minister didn't dare to start another dispute.
"It's my negligence."
After hesitating for a moment, the Prime Minister of Dongying had already made a decision.
Since he didn't dare to take the risk, he could only submit.
The so-called face was not that important.
He turned around and arranged his clothes according to the standard etiquette. Then, he knelt before Li Wuyou's feet.
He kowtowed and said.
"On behalf of the Japanese Shrine, this humble subject welcomes the Superintendent."
"Get up."
Li Wuyou waved his hand.
The little maid who had been serving the Prime Minister of Japan helped him up.
"Thank you, Superintendent."
At this time, the Prime Minister no longer dared to be negligent.
He bowed respectfully to Li Wuyou.
It was a sign of respect.
Then.
The Prime Minister led Li Wuyou and the others into the harbor.
They didn't walk for long.
Then, they saw a house that was barely in good condition.
The area was not small.
It looked like the temples of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Two unknown beasts stood at the door, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They looked like lions, but they were somewhat different from lions.
It had sharp horns on its head.
His eyes were also triangular in shape.
It looked a little strange.
And at the door, there was a tall plaque with the words "Shrine" written on it.
This was the Shrine of Japan.
The entire Dongying Continent was gathered together by the shrine.
The main Shrine, and then there were some sub-shrines and small Shrines below.
All the Shrines were connected by a huge network of relationships, and they were managed by the Prime Minister of the main Shrine.
Only the Envelope and the Sun God could receive the protection of the shrine.
It was similar to a religious act.
Even the plaque with the two words' Shrine 'written on it was painted with a red round sun.
It represented the God of Sun.
"Oh God of Sun, please protect Japan."
This Prime Minister, according to the usual practice, had to perform a simple prayer when he entered the Shrine.
He knelt in front of the entrance of the Shrine with a pious expression.
His attitude was respectful.
Almost all the people of the Shrine and the officials behind the Prime Minister also knelt in front of the entrance.
This was their custom.
"Superintendent."
The little maid beside Li Wuyou reminded him in a low voice.
"This is the rule of the Shrine. In the past, when you came, you also knelt."
In the past, when Mei Changxiu came to Japan.
He also respected the customs of Japan.
He knelt here.
After all, at that time, Japan was still obediently working for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Mei Changxiu didn't want to cause trouble between them because of a small etiquette.
So he knelt.
But now, Li Wuyou didn't think so.
He turned his head to look at the little maid and said in a low voice,
"It's different now."
"Japan didn't do what they should do. They didn't fulfill their obligations. We don't need to worship their God."
The countries of the East Sea.
Today, they frequently harassed the southeastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this matter, other than Gojoseon Zhennan's instigation, Japan must have connived.
The Great Zhou Dynasty.
In order to ensure the stability of the islands in the East Sea, they would give Japan a certain amount of support every year to ensure that they were the strongest existence in the East Sea.
This way, they could help them keep the East Sea countries in check.
All these years, the support of the Great Zhou Dynasty had never been lacking.
However, Japan did things badly.
They watched as the East Sea countries harassed the Great Zhou Dynasty, but did nothing?
Then why did they still respect him?
Not to mention Li Wuyou, even if the real Mei Changxiu came, he would definitely not kneel.
"Superintendent …"
The Shrine Prime Minister seemed to have noticed Li Wuyou's strange behavior. He hesitated and turned his head.
His expression was a little ugly.
First, at the port, he questioned him and forced him to kneel.
Now, at the entrance of the Shrine of Japan, he stood there indifferently.
This was already very disrespectful to Japan.
Moreover, this was a great disrespect to the Sun God.
"Now, I only kneel to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Li Wuyou lowered his head and glanced at the Shrine Prime Minister. His voice was cold.
"Superintendent, this is a great disrespect to the Sun God."
"The Sun God will punish you."
The Shrine Prime Minister frowned, and his voice became a little more solemn.
There was also a hint of anger that could not be hidden.
The Sun God was the god that all of Japan believed in. It was their faith.
It was also their everything.
Li Wuyou actually had such an attitude?
He could not accept it.
"Is that so?"
Li Wuyou smiled and did not say anything else. Instead, he got up and walked into the shrine.
"I'd like to see how he will punish me."
"You …"
When the Shrine Prime Minister saw this scene, his expression became even more unsightly.
As for the officials of the Shinto Shrine, they all revealed looks of anger and righteous indignation.
Roar!
At this moment, Li Wuyou walked to the entrance of the shrine. Just as he stepped on the steps, a low and angry roar suddenly came from the shrine.
Roar!
Like a tornado, the sound directly penetrated the walls of the shrine and appeared above Li Wuyou's head.
The pressure instantly descended.
Heaven and Earth seemed to have dimmed.
