Chapter 635: Yang Mingzhi, who doesn't want to stay longer
Yang Mingzhi looked at the waiter with a question mark on his face and said, "Did you hear clearly? I asked where the bathroom is?"
The waiter bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please hear me clearly. Fifty-two men will take you there..."
Yang Mingzhi: "A trip to the restroom in your teahouse costs fifty taels?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "No, sir, you misunderstood. What I mean is that the tea and snacks in your Accord are fifty taels in total."
Yang Mingzhi's expression suddenly became complicated: "Didn't those two who just left pay their bills?"
The waiter said: "Returning to the guest officer, there is no..."
Yang Mingzhi said: "They said they were treating us."
The waiter continued to smile apologetically and said, "Sir, you also know that treating guests and paying for them are actually two different things."
Yang Mingzhi wanted to continue to argue, but after drinking too much tea, his bladder no longer allowed him to argue too much. He took out a banknote and handed it over: "Here you go, a fifty-tael banknote. Take me quickly."
past,"
After taking the banknote, the waiter continued to maintain a polite smile and said, "Sir, do you have a banknote issued by a bank or counter in Chu State? Yours belongs to Zhou State and cannot be redeemed in Chu State.
open."
Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Are you annoyed? Wouldn't it be enough if you just have a banknote?"
The waiter continued politely: "Sir, let's be reasonable. Our teahouse can't handle your business. After that, we have to rush to Zhou State, right? Moreover, we are familiar with Zhou State's banknote system and the identification of authenticity.
I’m not familiar with it, so if I receive a fake banknote, I can’t immediately go to the bank to verify it, don’t you think so?”
Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth, then loosened his fists and took off a jade pendant from his waist, saying, "Is this worth fifty taels? Pawn it here first, and take me to the bathroom quickly!"
The waiter took the fine mutton-fat jade pendant and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, sir, please come with me."
After saying that, the waiter opened the door of the Accord and walked in. Only then did Yang Mingzhi discover that there was a small room in the Accord with a toilet that was fully equipped with aromatherapy (this toilet was not the current toilet).
Yang Mingzhi's face turned dark when he saw it.
If he had known it was here, why would he have been arguing with this waiter for so long?
Damn Chu country, I never want to come again!
…
There was heavy snow falling outside, and the pedestrians on the street were scattered. This heavy snow fell for almost half of the winter.
After talking about the matter, Xu Qing held an umbrella and walked home from the courtyard in the capital.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue beside him and tilted the umbrella towards her.
The two of them were under the same umbrella.
It's impossible to ride a carriage in this damn weather. If the wheels slip, it won't be fun. Fortunately, the capital is not very far from the Anding Marquis Mansion. Even if you don't take a carriage, there will be no problem. At most, it will be slower.
At this moment, Xu Qing saw a middle-aged man coming towards him. The man was bathing in the heavy snow and came towards him with his collar curled up.
Xu Qing stopped and looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, "Envoy Yang Zheng, did you come back after tea?"
One was holding an umbrella, and the other was not. Yang Mingzhi did not want to continue arguing with the president of the National Business Academy, and just said: "I will report to your Majesty as soon as possible and start peace talks as soon as possible."
Xu Qing said doubtfully: "It's snowing now. Even if the peace talks are over, the carriage can't go to the official road. Why should envoy Yang be in a hurry? Isn't it good to talk about it after the year? It will be difficult to return to Zhou in this kind of weather.
There was an accident.”
Yang Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "There is no need to worry about Dean Xu. The Yang family has a big plan to go back and implement. Naturally, the sooner we return, the better. No matter how dangerous it is, can the Yang family be in the same danger now?"
Xu Qing looked at Yang Mingzhi's empty waist and asked, "Where has Messenger Yang's jade pendant gone?"
Yang Mingzhi snorted and walked forward without looking back. He didn't want to stay in Chu country for another day!
Xu Qing looked at Yang Mingzhi's appearance and wondered: "A relative is here?"
Xiao Ruxue asked curiously: "What relative?"
Xu Qing said: "Nothing, let's go home first. What do you want to eat today?"
Xiao Ruxue rubbed her hands and said, "How about hot pot?"
Xu Qing said: "Okay."
Xu Qing had no objection to Yang Mingzhi's decision to advance the peace talks. Although the slippery roads in the snow were not conducive to horse-drawn carriages, he was not the one who needed to take the carriage back a long way. Why should he worry about the life and safety of Envoy Yang?
It's none of your business, just hang high and go on your way.
Fortunately, Ambassador Yang proposed it today to advance the peace talks. If he had mentioned it earlier, it would not have been possible because the Chu State had not yet decided how much money they would have to pay.
During this time, Xu Qing also heard that King Ming was doing quite prosperously in the Zhao Kingdom, and that he had not been wiped out yet, but his power was getting bigger and bigger, so he really looked down upon him.
The State of Zhao also sent envoys to the State of Chu to ask for help in the middle of winter. For the sake of past contracts, they would provide some support to suppress the rebellion.
Naturally, Chu State refused without mercy.
We will definitely take care of any invasion by an enemy country, but this is an internal conflict within the country. We, the State of Chu, do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
This made the Zhao State envoy shout in his heart: "mmp!"
When we first made the contract, you helped me with this and that, but now you start to add conditions to me?
Is it now time to start not interfering in other countries’ internal affairs?
Why didn't you write it clearly in the contract when you couldn't take on these jobs?
What did you do early?
However, the State of Chu ignored these and handed over a contract, which clearly stated that if an enemy country invaded, the State of Chu would repel the invading enemy for the State of Zhao free of charge.
As long as King Ming does not establish a state within the territory of Zhao State, your State of Zhao will still be in civil strife.
This sentence made the Zhao State envoy feel uncomfortable but could not find any fault.
The grasslands are also unsettled, and they have repeatedly gone south to grab food. Fortunately, the new weapon Zhentianlei debuted on the northern battlefield, which scared them a lot, and they also ate the broken iron and pottery shards that flew out indiscriminately.
A big loss.
Nowadays, Chu State's Sky Thunder technology is getting better and better. They even figured out how to mark the scale on the bomb-dropping vehicle, and also made a simple version of the shooting chart.
What distance should be used to adjust the intensity, what angle should be used, and how to consider the influence of the surrounding environment.
It takes a few breaths to create the airburst effect of Zhentian Lei.
These are what Chu bombardiers must learn now.
Xu Qing sincerely admired the wisdom of these soldiers. After playing with Zhentian Lei for a few months, he was able to figure out a simple version of the bomb release table by himself.
Especially air blasts can cause fragments of iron to pour down from the air at extremely fast speeds, causing maximum damage to the enemy.
The flying iron shavings were more powerful than the arrows in terms of speed and impact. They were impossible to guard against. Some of the shards could even penetrate the general's armor.
Such a killer weapon made the Chu army have a lot of fun, and they all looked at the Firearms Department, eagerly waiting for them to produce newer firearms.
