Someone explained that this is called a gun salute, which is the highest form of etiquette. This ceremony is only used when greeting distinguished guests.
Yeah?
Yes, that's what Mr. Qi said.
On the surface, this view seems to make sense, but it also feels like something is not quite right.
Since it is a welcome gift, it is important to show kindness, but why fire live ammunition?
Bang bang bang...
First and last, the seven salutes were fired one after another, and Tan Junyan announced: The ceremony is over!
At this moment, Magistrate Qi took out two dirty cotton balls from his arms and stuffed them into the nostrils of Mr. Wu who was squatting on the ground and shivering.
Wu Wanrong was originally a pampered official in the capital and a deacon in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He had never seen such a military battle. The sudden blasts of cannons shook his liver and gallbladder to pieces.
On the other hand, Qi Yu was not only calm and calm, but also waved the folding fan in his hand calmly and without any fear. This was the courage he had developed in the smoke of the beacon fire, which was unparalleled by others.
As far as the reaction of the two people at the moment is concerned, in terms of courage, the judgment is high or low.
But at this moment, he suddenly smelled a strange smell. Qi Yu lowered his head and looked: Damn it, this kid was so scared that he peed?
The effect is good, very satisfied.
One word: Feeling comfortable all over!
Well, keep going!
"Next, enter the gun salute!"
"yes!"
"Fire!"
"Roar!"
After giving the order, Qi Yu took the lead in pulling out the musket on his waist and fired a shot close to Lord Wu's ear.
boom!
"ah!"
Little did Wu Wanrong know that the gun salute was originally a mourning ceremony used at military funerals and could not be used to welcome guests from afar.
However, now that he was frightened, his eyes were staring, and his crotch was cold, how could he still be in the mood to learn about etiquette?
In fact, fear of firearms is a normal reaction and not an isolated phenomenon. Anyone who sees the power of firearms for the first time can't help but be frightened for a few times, not to mention that it is such a deliberate scare.
However, Master Qi's men did not think so.
Gentlemen, you can’t be afraid. He’s still a Beijing official. How dare he have this much?
Cough, spit!
It was just a bear, but he was so scared that he peed his pants!
In response to this, the cadres and servants all responded with contemptuous smiles, pointing at Master Wu, and their tone of voice was not only disdain, but also disdain.
"Just a coward..."
"You're from the damn capital, why are you so useless..."
"..."
After a long time, Wu Wanrong finally came to his senses with an "ah" sound.
Then, he hurriedly covered his crotch.
At this moment, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. It was so embarrassing.
However, he slowly suppressed his embarrassment and began to think calmly. Did Qi Yu deliberately cause what happened today?
Probably not.
Let's put it this way, he heard with his own ears the eunuch Ma Da who returned from his voyage to the West. There is indeed a cannon salute overseas that is only used when greeting distinguished guests. This is not something Qi Yu made up out of thin air or deliberately made up.
Also, there were so many people present, but I was the only one who was so scared that I wet my pants. It seemed that I was too brave.
Taken together, this should not have much to do with Qi Yu.
After thinking about this problem, Wu Wanrong felt relieved, and slowly straightened up his guilty conscience, and said: "Now that the welcome ceremony is over, where should we go next?"
Qi Yu smiled heartily and said: "I have ordered my subordinates to prepare a small amount of wine in the wine shop to help you, Mr. Wu."
"Uh... don't be in a hurry to eat!" Wu Wanrong called for a pause, and then concealed his embarrassment and said: "I have been traveling south all the way, and I am tired of traveling and traveling. I want to take a short rest at your hotel to recuperate.
How about attending this banquet after you feel refreshed?"
This is pure nonsense.
What he really meant was that he wanted to quickly find a place to change his clothes and tidy up his appearance. How could he behave like this when his crotch was wet?
Furthermore, eating with this smell makes the taste too strong.
Qi Yu not only did not embarrass him, but smiled very understandingly and said: "Of course! Mr. Wu is the guest and Qi is the host. How can the host not obey the guest's words?" After that, he turned around again.
He turned around and told Tan Junyan: "Guangling, take Mr. Wu to the post for a short rest. I will send a carriage to pick you up in an hour."
"yes!"
"Also, you must remember to 'serve' guests from afar with all your heart, and don't neglect them." Qi Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and asked with deep meaning.
Tan Junyan nodded understandingly and replied: "Sir, please rest assured, my subordinates will never be ambiguous when doing things."
"Hehe,~~"
…
Half an hour later.
In a dilapidated house in Qiongzhou Fuchengguanyi.
After a long journey, Wu Wanrong finally arrived.
"I said, don't you have a decent wing in your Qiongzhou Pavilion?"
"As far as Mr. Wu is concerned, this room is already the best!"
"What? Just this... or is it the best?" Wu Wanrong looked at the square table with missing corners and the lame bench in the room, and couldn't help but take a breath.
People often say that Qiongzhou is the most remote and barren place in the world, but I didn't expect it to be so.
However, in fact, the utility room used for washing was just tidied up last night, and it was specially prepared by Qi Yu for Wu Wanrong.
This is truly a special treatment.
Seeing that Tan Junyan looked sincere and didn't seem to be lying, Wu Wanrong reluctantly believed him.
"Well, I would like to ask Mr. Tan to stay away for a while while Wu changes his clothes and ties his hair. After that, he will go to the banquet with you, so that Mr. Qi will not be impatient with the waiting."
"In this case, Tan will temporarily resign!"
"Please!"
"..."
After closing the door and exiting, Tan Junyan secretly lowered the latch on the outside of the door. Then, he ordered someone to open the door of the apartment and brought in the "extra performers", waiting to watch what was going to happen next.
play.
Then, what kind of good show is it?
Dear readers, Mo Jiao, let’s not make random guesses first, let’s take a look at what Wu Wanrong is doing?
Maybe someone said, is this even necessary? If someone peed their pants, they must be changing their clothes.
wrong!
He did take off his clothes, but he didn't change them.
What happened?
Look...
Wu Wanrong in the room was like a white chicken, holding a big wooden pillar with his bare buttocks and rubbing it vigorously. Oh no, the wording of this sentence is a bit inappropriate. It should be said that he was shivering while holding the wooden pillar.
Why is this so?
In fact, Wu Wanrong himself didn't understand what was going on.
He had just taken off his clothes when he saw three mountain winds suddenly coming out from under the bed. The thickest one was almost as big as a big stick.
Who is not afraid of this thing?
That is, they are just like the incarnation of the demon Medusa, making people feel fearful and creepy just by looking at them.
"Oh my God!"
When Wu Wanrong reacted, he felt that all the hair on his body stood upside down as if struck by lightning.
Then, he jumped to the side with a scratching sound, and subconsciously hugged the wooden pillar that seemed to be able to seek self-comfort.
At the same time, he was still cursing secretly in his heart: They say that Qiongzhou is full of poisonous insects, but I didn't expect it to be so rampant. Yes, just changing your clothes can attract the peeping insects.
Wu Wanrong suppressed the fear in his heart, made a prompt decision, and rushed towards the door like an arrow. However, the door was locked by the outer latch, and no matter how hard he swayed, he could not open it.
This... what should we do!
Hey, there you have it!
Get out of the window!
So he dragged his fat body, rolled and crawled, endured the pain of the nails on the window, and gritted his teeth to climb out.
Haha, it’s finally safe.
Unexpectedly, just after getting out of the danger of poisonous insects, embarrassing situations followed one after another.
At some point, a group of people who looked like ordinary people suddenly gathered in the courtyard. They all pointed at their 'short' guys with teasing smiles.
Um?
Where am I short?
Following their line of sight, Wu Wanrong looked down and couldn't help but be shocked: Come on, why am I naked?
