A high-end guild hall specially used by Qian Kingdom to receive foreign envoys.
The three parties met and sat in the courtyard, all holding a golden invitation in their hands. Li Muqing was the youngest, only in his early twenties, but he was the highest in terms of status.
Unlike Liu Hanlong, a collateral prince, he was a direct bloodline of the Zhou Kingdom and qualified to inherit the throne of the Zhou Dynasty.
The Kingdom of Zhou was the most powerful among the four kingdoms, so both the female general Ye Hongxue and the prince of Qi, Liu Hanlong, treated him very politely along the way.
Third His Highness Li Muqing looked at the invitation in his hand, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Noble Hall? It's really interesting. There are so-called nobility in a small Qian Kingdom."
Liu Hanlong smiled and pointed at the signature on the invitation: "Your Highness, the name of Prince Ning of Qian Kingdom is written on it. Since it was made by a descendant of the royal family, it might be eye-catching."
The only woman among the three, Ye Hongxue, the female general of the Jing Kingdom, said: "It is said that Ning Prince Xiao Feiyu has never been involved in political affairs and stayed away from the power center of the Qian Kingdom. He should not have been sent by the empress to test us."
The female general took off her mask at this moment, and her appearance was very good. She was not as soft and beautiful as ordinary women, but she looked very heroic, with long hair like a waterfall, and the color of her hair was extremely green.
Li Muqing looked at Ye Hongxue with a somewhat obsessed look. Along the way, he had long thought of bringing this female general of Jing Kingdom into the harem. After all, she was a rare and rare woman in the world, just like the empress of Qian Kingdom.
"Then you are invited to go?" Liu Hanlong said with a smile.
It would take two days for me and others to go to see the empress, so since I caught up with the excitement, I might as well go and have a look.
An old man with white beard and hair wearing a Confucian shirt walked out of the room. When the three of them saw this, even Li Muqing stood up and saluted: "Mr. Zhang."
"Your Highness." The old man known as Mr. Zhang performed the courtesy of a courtier.
Ye Hongxue's voice slowed down: "After running around for days, why doesn't Mr. Zhang take a break?"
Liu Hanlong also said: "Could it be that the environment is not good? Why don't you let them change it?"
It is hard to imagine that the two of them, a prince of Qi and a general of Jingguo, would have such respect for an old man from Zhou Dynasty.
Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and General Ye. I am just used to riding in carriages during this period of time, and I go out to do some activities. Otherwise, my old bones will become rusty."
"Mr. Zhang maintains his health with awe-inspiring aura, and his body is strong and strong. According to Mu Qing, it is not difficult to live for another fifty years." Li Muqing also complimented.
This old man must serve him well, after all, it depends on him whether he can kick Qian Guo out of carving up the Yunshan Iron Mine this time.
Mr. Zhang laughed: "Your Highness, please stop joking. What did you say before?"
Li Muqing handed over the invitation: "Xiao Feiyu, Prince Ning of the Qian Kingdom, sent an invitation, saying that a noble hall is opening tonight, and invited us to go together. Sir, why don't you come with us?"
"It's okay to walk around. It's a rare trip to Qianguo. It's nice to see the environment here." It seemed that he was really bored along the way, and Mr. Zhang did not refuse.
Liu Hanlong stood up and said with a smile: "It happens to be early, let's go out for a walk?"
No one refused, and each group of foreign envoys took two guards with them and left the state guesthouse.
Walking on the street and looking at the people passing by, Mr. Zhang was very interested: "I never expected that a small country like Qian could be so prosperous."
"After all, it is the imperial capital. I heard that Jiangzhou of the Qian Kingdom was hit by floods some time ago. The fertile fields were destroyed and no grain could be harvested. Maybe the name is no longer in existence." Liu Hanlong was obviously gloating about his misfortune.
Mr. Zhang: "After all, there is nothing much to see in the inner city next to the imperial city. Let's go to the outer city to have a look."
He spoke, and the other three people were happy to play with the old man. The group came to the outer city. They didn't pay much attention to it in the carriage before, but now they noticed the difference while walking.
Ye Hongxue raised her eyebrows, looked at the clean and tidy street and said in surprise: "The street is so clean and tidy! There are no beggars begging."
"Really, you can't even see the filth. Does the Qian Kingdom pay so much attention to urban sanitation?" Li Muqing was also a little surprised.
You must know that even in our imperial capital of the Zhou Dynasty, some places are extremely dirty and messy, which is incomparable to the scene in front of us.
Liu Hanlong had already stopped a pedestrian. He did not show off his princely airs, but looked kindly: "Brother, why don't you see any beggars begging?"
The passerby was stunned and gave Liu Hanlong a strange look: "Are you an idiot? Isn't it better if there are no beggars? How much does the smell of beggars pollute the environment?"
Liu Hanlong's face froze. It's amazing that a prince of Qi was scolded by a common man.
Ye Hongxue came out to save the situation and said, "Brother, we are outsiders. We are just a little surprised. Please don't be offended."
Facing the beautiful woman, the passerby was obviously more talkative, and waved his hand quickly: "No, no, this lady is serious. All the beggars in our imperial capital have been accepted by the Military and Horse Division, so there are no beggars left."
"Has the Bingma Division taken it in?"
Mr. Zhang couldn't believe it and became interested: "Could it be that beggars have been incorporated into the army?"
If this is the case, it shows that the empress of Qian Kingdom has great ambitions.
The passerby shook his head and exclaimed: "What kind of soldiers can a group of beggars be? Our Military and Horse Department has added a new health team to recruit all the beggars in the city."
"Health team?"
Pedestrians nodded: "Yes, we catch those who do not respect hygiene on the street every day."
Just as he was talking, Liu Hanlong's guard coughed and spit on the ground. As a result, seven or eight people in the distance gathered around him aggressively.
But the guard was startled, and he immediately pulled out the knife: "What are you going to do!"
The leader calmly took out a red armband from his waist and belted it with the words "Health Team" written in yellow, and stretched out his hand: "Spitting will be fined ten cents."
The pedestrian who was stopped by Liu Hanlong gloated: "No, they are from the health team."
The spitting guard was startled: "A fine?"
"right."
Guard: "Why! If you spit, you will be fined ten cents. Why don't you grab it?"
I also vomited in Zhou State, why didn't I see anyone fined me?
"Stop talking nonsense, I have a system, and I will not do anything illegal or disciplinary. Pay the fine quickly, or I will send you to the Military and Horse Department!"
The guard wanted to say something else, but Liu Hanlong stopped him and threw a silver bean over.
The people from the health team took it, weighed it and actually gave Liu Hanlong change! This operation stunned the group. Are all Chinese people so high-profile?
"Remember, don't spit next time, otherwise the penalty will be double the second time." After saying this, the health team members dispersed.
Li Muqing's eyes were strange: "It's really strange, what is it? A public toilet? The words on the wall are quite interesting, talk about civilization and establish new trends?"
"Go over and take a look." Mr. Zhang said.
When everyone walked over, Mr. Zhang looked at the people next to the public toilet and pointed at the public toilet and asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"
