"Mr. Chalforth, are you going to Daliang for tourism or business?"
"I'm...going to do business..."
A Dutch businessman explained laboriously in broken Chinese.
"Have you brought the list of goods you sold and the inspection procedures? Let me take a look..."
"Yes, yes, they are all here..."
…………
From entering the lobby to the corridor, the three people took a quick glance and then followed Chiguo's footsteps to the second floor.
"Your Majesty! Someone from Daliang is coming——!!"
Although the King of Chu had told Zhiguo countless times that you only need to knock on the door, Zhiguo stubbornly believed that this was against the rules and insisted on using the notification method...
“Let them in—!!”
"yes!!"
Chiguo then slowly pressed the door handle, pushed the door open and walked in...
"Small!!"
"Grass people!!"
"Meet the King of Chu——!!"
It was obvious that both the middle-aged man, the soldier and the translator were a little nervous...
King Chu smiled slightly. He had almost forgotten that he was a prince after staying here for more than four years...
"Stop being so polite, get up and sit down..."
King Chu said and pointed to the sofa beside him, and the three of them turned their faces to look at Chi Guo.
Chiguo was stunned for a moment, then shouted in a loud voice: "Look what I am doing!? Just sit down if the prince asks you to sit down!!"
"Oh! Yes!"
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!!"
The three people carefully found a seat and sat down one after another. As soon as King Chu raised his hand to take the teacup, the three people immediately stood up again with bows...
"You don't have to be so reserved. Since Qihua can arrange for you to come to see me, it means that there are no outsiders here. The purpose of your trip and Qihua's arrangements have been explained..."
The three of them nodded, slowly sat back down, and then all looked at Chi Guo...
"Are you three mentally ill?! Can I still be an outsider!??"
"Yes, you don't have to look at him. He and I are brothers and sisters, so there is no need to avoid it."
"Your Majesty..."
Chiguo, who was shouting everywhere with a broken voice just now, immediately had red eyes when he heard these words...
"You hold it back! I have to talk about business now!"
"Hey, hey, yes!"
King Chu sighed slowly, looked at the three of them again, and said with a smile: "Speak."
"yes!"
The soldiers were obviously much crisper. As soon as the King of Chu gave the order, he immediately put the suitcase in his hand on the coffee table, opened the suitcase, and gently pushed it to the King of Chu.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the commander specially asked me to bring this to you. It's called a telegraph machine... and from now on I will be with His Highness the King of Chu, because only a small person can operate and translate this telegraph machine.
, of course...if His Highness has a capable person by his side, the younger one can also teach him."
King Chu nodded calmly and asked softly: "So... what is this thing for?"
"The telegraph machine! It's... it's used to deliver messages! The message sent by me can be received by the coach in Daliang immediately, and the instructions and messages sent by the coach can also be received by the coach at any time.
I learned..."
"Oh~~~" King Chu suddenly realized, and then looked at the soldiers with a serious face...
"Did you drink today? How much did you drink?"
"Drinking?" The soldier was stunned when he was asked directly. He turned around and looked around, and replied with an affirmative look on his face: "Young man, you didn't drink today..."
"Then you...have a fever? Or hysteria!?"
"None of them..."
"Hiss..." King Chu took a breath of cold air and even frowned...
"Then why are you talking nonsense?"
"Young kid, you're not talking nonsense..."
Before the soldier could explain clearly, Chiguo walked up to him in two steps and picked up the soldier's collar! He shouted loudly: "Say! Who sent you here!!!"
"Ah???" The soldier was so frightened that he looked back and forth between the King of Chu and Chi Guo with a look of panic, and whispered with trembling lips: "Master, the commander sent me here! Her Royal Highness Princess Kaiyuan of Daliang
, Prince Yan!”
"Nonsense! There has been no truth in your mouth from the beginning! Now you are still talking nonsense to me! I don't think you will shed tears until you see the coffin!!"
With a burst of anger, Chi Guo suddenly raised his right arm and was about to throw their big mouths away, but was stopped by the King of Chu who was still meditating on the side...
"Zhiguo, wait a minute... I have something else to ask him!"
"Still asking? Is there any need to ask? He's already talking nonsense! If you don't give him a beating first, how can you tell the truth..."
As Chiguo spoke, he was preparing to fight. King Chu had to raise his voice and his tone became a bit colder...
"Zhiguo...don't you listen to what I say..."
The soldier's face was almost green with fear. He closed his eyes and prepared to be beaten, but suddenly he felt his collar loosen and his feet fell to the ground again...
"Your Majesty, forgive me! Chiguo realized that he was wrong!!"
When the soldier opened his eyes again, Chiguo had already offered his hand, bent down, and slowly backed away from the corner of the room. A seven-foot-old man actually had a look of grievance on his face, which made the soldier gasp...
"Do you know who made this thing you're talking about?"
King Chu slowly narrowed his eyes. He wanted to judge the authenticity of the matter based on the soldier's answer. After all, what he said just now... was simply unbelievable to him! But if it was made by Qihua himself, then it would be different.
Never mind...
"The coach built this together with hundreds of craftsmen from the Jinan manufacturing plant! First, the battery was made from manganese ore and sulfuric acid, and then a hand-cranked generator was installed, as well as the transmitting button and spring, Morse code...
"
"Stop..." King Chu slowly raised his right hand, interrupting the soldier's narration, and continued to ask with a suspicious look on his face: "Although I don't understand what you said, but if it was made by Qihua
, and the explanation makes sense, but... you are a little soldier... but why do you know so much? Can you give a reasonable explanation..."
"Oh!!" The soldier suddenly understood and quickly explained: "Your Majesty Shengming, each of our soldiers responsible for sending the message has undergone two months of training in Jinan. The coach requires us to understand every component and principle of the transmitter.
So that if there are some glitches we can fix them ourselves!”
"Hmm... so to say... it is indeed reasonable," King Chu nodded slightly, thought for a moment, then raised his head and pointed at the transmitter and said: "Then you can send a letter to Qihua on my behalf now, just ask
...Do you still remember Mei Niang’s birthday?”
This is a typical temptation...
After all, Mei Niang was adopted by the old King of Chu. Not to mention Yan Bing, even the King of Chu himself didn’t know. It mainly depends on how the other party responds!
Unexpectedly, when the soldiers heard this, they immediately hesitated...
"This...this can't be done...your lord!"
"Why can't you send it? Didn't you just say that the distance of ten thousand miles is about to come in an instant? Why did you change your mind again?"
