Not only did the Chu State have a heated discussion, but even the Zhou State envoy also had a heated discussion.
Many Zhou envoys present also began to discuss this issue.
"Is it appropriate for officials from the DPRK and China to work in the palace?"
"Let's not talk about whether it is suitable or not. If a person carries eight hundred barrels of water, won't he be exhausted to death? Don't the eunuchs in the palace care about picking it?"
"Yes, why is this question so unreasonable?"
Seeing that no one in his mission could solve the problem, the deputy envoy of Zhou State stood up and looked at the Emperor of Chu in the high position. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I protest! How can someone add water while another person releases it? Chao
How can the central government officials carry the water themselves? This question is really nonsense!"
Xu Qing on the side retorted: "Is it reasonable for the general to go and drink the horses by himself when he has nothing to do? Your Majesty, I think there is no problem with your question."
The deputy envoy of Zhou State said harshly: "Isn't it okay that the general cherishes his own horses and goes to drink the horses himself? Is it because the emperor of your country also cherishes his ministers that he lets his ministers carry water for the palace?"
Xu Qing: "So your country's general's tent is set up dozens of miles away from the military camp. When inspecting the tent, it is appropriate to ride over there on horseback?"
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou suddenly widened his eyes: "It's unreasonable! You are using strong words to make excuses!"
Xu Qing looked at Deputy Envoy Zhou: "Are you in a hurry?"
Deputy envoy of Zhou State: "..."
Where did this person come from? Why is he so annoying?!
[In the previous chapter, the deputy envoy of Zhou State should be called Sister Zhou State Queen instead of aunt. I accidentally made a typo.]
When the Emperor of Chu saw this scene, he admired Xu Qing even more in his heart. He was worthy of being the Anding county uncle of Da Chu. He just gave me Da Chu a face!
It's a pity that he doesn't have a princess of the right age by his side, otherwise he would definitely want this boy to be his son-in-law.
The sixth prince Li Xun on the side felt relieved for a while when he saw this scene. This man had repeatedly made things difficult for him along the way, and he never expected that today would happen.
Even Princess Mingyue on the side couldn't help covering her mouth and secretly laughing a few times.
Although the two of them are said to be the sons of Emperor Zhou, their understanding of the Kingdom of Zhou is limited to the palace, and they have no feelings. Not only do they have no feelings, they can even be said to be emotionally disgusted with the Kingdom of Zhou.
At this time, seeing that the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou, who had been targeting the two of them at every turn along the way, was defeated, the two brothers and sisters naturally felt much more relaxed.
As for Zhou, a country that has lost face?
Does the survival of Zhou Guo's face have anything to do with them?
Xu Qing glanced at the deputy envoy of Zhou State for the last time: "Everyone says that Zhou State is the best in calculating Taoism in the Central Plains, but today it seems that it is no more than this. I should think about this question myself."
The deputy envoy of Zhou State clenched his fists on the table, and many words were stuck in his throat and could not be spoken.
After Xu Qing successfully disgusted the deputy envoy of Zhou State, he sat back to his seat.
Even if Zhou Guo's deputy envoy answered this question, Xu Qing had other questions as backup: the carriage driver of the Anding Prefecture who drove at a constant speed and was never late, the Emperor of Chu and the wise king who had a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding of cooperation, but had to go out early tomorrow morning.
The tsundere Xiao Ruxue slowed down her pace to let Xiao Ye catch up with her.
After mastering these major problems, I won't be afraid of becoming the deputy envoy of the Zhou Dynasty.
If that doesn't work, there's still solid geometry.
So you don’t have to prepare too many questions!
A thousand taels a piece!
…
Soon after returning to the seats, the Chu State's personal show began, and a military commander danced a sword to add to the fun. Come on, let's go outside and play archery.
Do you think you are the only one in the Zhou Dynasty who has hands and mouths who can keep talking?
As a result, the envoys of Zhou State failed everywhere in this project of military strength.
Xu Qing finished his performance in the first half, but Xiao Ye had a lot of fun in the second half. He competed in swordsmanship and archery at the banquet. If it weren't for close combat, Xiao Ye would probably be able to defeat the deputy envoy of the Zhou Dynasty.
Hit the head off and use it as a ball.
Xiao Ye put down the bow in his hand and sat back, looking at Xu Qing and asking expectantly: "How is it? Is your archery skills okay?"
Xu Qing said truthfully: "Brother Xiao's archery skills are probably unmatched by anyone in the younger generation."
Xiao Ye's face suddenly became so happy that he almost couldn't hold back: "It's a reward, it's a reward."
He felt that he had finally found a place where he was better than Brother Xu. His father always used Brother Xu to suppress him at home. Now that he was better, he could not compare with Brother Xu in poetry, but he could beat him in martial arts and archery!
In the future, if his father compares Brother Xu with him again, he will tell this matter and he will definitely make his father speechless. Well, that's it!
In the end, this dust-washing banquet turned the envoys of Zhou State into gray-headed and disgraced faces. It would be better not to wash them at all.
After this, not only did the Chu State not lose any face, but because the Anding County Bo of Da Chu solved the problem effortlessly and randomly asked a question, he was able to silence the entire Zhou State envoy.
And his reputation has greatly increased.
Who said I, Da Chu, can’t do anything?
Find someone to come over and compete with me, Bo Bibi, from Anding County, Dachu!
After the banquet was over, Xu Qing said goodbye to Xiao Ye and planned to go back.
Xiao Ye went back in the carriage. Xu Qing didn't plan to go back in the carriage. There was a lantern festival not far away. It was very lively, so he just took this opportunity to take a walk.
At the end of the banquet, Xu Qing originally wanted to invite Xiao Ye to have a look, but who knew that this guy's heart was not at all about the lantern festival, he just wanted to take advantage of the few things that were better than him and show them off to the Xian Wang.
.
Poor baby, he will probably be scolded by the wise king tonight. His IQ is up, but his emotional intelligence is really a flaw for Xiao Ye!
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Uncle Anding County."
Xu Qing turned around and saw Li Xun and Princess Mingyue.
Xu Qing cupped her hands and said, "It turns out that it's the Sixth Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess. Are you asking to stay here for something?"
Li Xun said: "My sister has been good at arithmetic since she was a child. However, Ning'er was very interested in the question asked by County Count Anding just now, but was puzzled about it. Please don't take offense by asking Count Anding for advice."
"Ning'er?" Xu Qing asked doubtfully, "Who is Ning'er?"
Li Mingyue said with a slight smile: "Li Mingyue met the Anding County uncle. I wanted to ask the Anding County uncle for advice. However, due to the differences between men and women, I had to ask my brother to ask."
Xu Qing was even more confused. Is her name Li Mingyue or Ning'er?
Li Xun said: "That's right, Ning'er is the nickname my mother gave to my sister. She was used to being called her at home since she was a child, and she hasn't changed it since she grew up."
When Xu Qing heard this explanation, he suddenly realized that it turned out to be a nickname. I think he also had this thing at the beginning, but...
Look at Princess Mingyue, her nickname is Ning'er!
How nice it sounds and how cute it is.
What about me? What did my mother call me when I was a child? She called me Stinker!
One Ning'er, the other smelly.
Such a comparison makes a judgment call!
Couldn’t my mother give herself a nicer baby name?!
Thinking of this, Xu Qing was suddenly curious, what is his wife's nickname?
Xu Qing decided to ask his father-in-law another day.
If I call my wife by her nickname in the future, I wonder how she will react. I am really looking forward to it.??
