"Your Majesty, the wine should be swallowed slowly in the mouth, so that the taste of the wine fills the entire mouth, so that there will be a fragrant charm on the teeth and cheeks......"

Li Shun once again demonstrated the correct way to drink wine.

"Whew~~~~"

Under Li Shun's teaching, as a sip of wine slowly poured into his stomach, Antioch finally let out a long breath, with great surprise and intoxication on his face, and slightly closed his eyes to take another sip and taste it slowly.

"The queen please, the two ladies please~" Li Shun raised his glass and motioned to Antioch's three beautiful wives to raise a glass to taste Qinghe wine together.

The three women also couldn't wait to carefully hold the wine glasses with their hands.

There was still a glass of wine left in the golden wine plate, and the remaining officials of the mission and a group of palace maids around them all looked at it with their eyes in amazement, and Antioch, who had his eyes half-closed, seemed to feel so many greedy eyes, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he put the wine glass in front of him.

"Damn, shameless!"

A group of mission officials all muttered in their hearts, and then swallowed their saliva and forcibly looked away.

For them, even a steamed bun in their hometown is enough for them to can't suppress the urge to salivate, and the taste of their hometown is so nostalgic when they go out.

A small half glass of wine is no more than two taels, which is a matter of a few sips.

After Antioch and his three wives finished drinking, their expressions were relatively unified, holding the wine glass in both hands in a daze, and finally their eyes fell on the bottle of Qinghe wine.

"Your Majesty, how? Is this grape wine worth the money? Li Shun also drank the wine in his hand and opened his mouth unsatisfied.

"It is indeed the most beautiful wine in the world, I apologize for Fang Cai's words, compared to this kind of wine, camel milk wine is indeed about the same as urine, this bet is considered to be lost, and when you set off, I will arrange for officials to send three thousand gold coins to the hotel!" After the translation was transmitted, Antioch came back to his senses and spoke with a lonely expression.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty really kept your promise, but unfortunately it is inconvenient for us to carry it with us this time, but if Your Majesty is willing to communicate with our Great Qin Friendly Trade Envoys, this kind of wine will inevitably be transported to rest in a steady stream in the future, and Your Majesty and the Queen will be able to enjoy it to the fullest!" Li Shunshun grinned quickly, and the little tongue in his throat was shaking desperately in excitement.

"Your Majesty, Daqin not only has porcelain, glass and silk, but also such an evocative wine, you must send envoys to Daqin, we need more Daqin items!" The queen reluctantly put down her glass and said.

"You're right, we really can't give up this opportunity, after I drink this delicious wine, I'm afraid that I won't taste anything in the future, tomorrow I will convene the ministers to discuss the matter of sending envoys to the Qin State!" Antiochus III nodded, and the thick eyebrows on his young face were all wrinkled into a line.

Li Shun and a group of members of the mission all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and a knowing and relaxed smile appeared on each other's faces.

In addition to promoting the prosperity and wealth of Great Qin, the important purpose of the envoys to the Western countries was to promote friendly trade and exchanges.

This is the request of the Marquis of Qinghe.

War expansion is never the preferred means, and business contacts are the best way to promote mutual understanding and integration.

And along the way, Li Shun and others deeply understood Chen Xu's meaning, that is, it was too far from Daqin to here, so far that the army could not supply from the mainland, and if the back road was cut off by someone, the lone army would go tens of thousands of miles into the west to fight, and the consequences would not be easy to predict.

What's more, even if you conquer it, how to manage it is a very headache.

Whether it is a feudal or a county, in the face of such a long distance, the imperial court is a little beyond the reach of the whip.

After drinking grape wine, Antiochus III instantly did not have much desire in the face of the table full of dishes and camel milk wine, and Li Shun and the others were almost full, so they proposed to teach Antiochus III and his three wives to make tea and drink.

This way to the west, in addition to teaching mahjong, in fact, teaching the kings and nobles of various countries to make tea is also a traditional program that is retained.

After all, drinking tea is an extremely mysterious thing for Westerners, Chinese after drinking for hundreds of years until the late Ming Dynasty, Westerners learned to drink tea, and then promoted it as a etiquette that nobles must learn...... Well, the people without porcelain.

Now, Chen Xu wants to advance the habit of teaching Westerners to drink tea by more than ten centuries, and when the time comes, he will continue to use tea to earn a lot of gold and silver treasures from the West.

Compared with luxury goods such as porcelain and silk, tea is the lowest cost and the most profitable commodity, that is, a little leaf consumes some labor, and in this wild era, the cost is simply negligible.

The exchange of the most worthless leaves for gold and silver treasures from the West is akin to a plunder of wealth.

This is a victory of cultural export, and it is also one of China's few victories in the face of the West, and it is this victory that causes Western countries to surging like sharks that smell blood, China is not psychologically prepared, and the decaying empire has begun to decline, and there is no consciousness to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dominate the world, resulting in China being pressed into the water and ravaged after a few times in the tide of globalization. A great country that has stood thousands of years in the history of human civilization has been humiliated to the point of paying billions of taels of silver.

But in this time and space, looking at the globe on his desk, there is an Eastern emperor who has been staring at this globe for several years at someone's instigation, and shouting a few times when no one is around.

"Forehead drop, forehead drop, ha is forehead drop~~"

……

In the gardens of the Palace of Antiochus III on a bright spring day, all the banquets on the table have been removed, leaving only a set of exquisite tea sets.

Li Shun personally demonstrated the tea cooking skills from Daqin.

Use a knife to scrape the fish glue and wax sealed on the outside of the bamboo tube, use a small bamboo clip inside to pick out a small amount of tea leaves and put them into the teapot, and then slowly pour the boiling hot water into the teapot.

As a strong vapor mist emanated, a peculiar fragrance of long-lost tea filled the garden.

After soaking slightly for about a minute, Li Shun lifted the lid of the teapot and took a look, then lifted the teapot and began to pour tea.

Watching a stream of pale green tea pour from the spout into the exquisite porcelain cup, accompanied by steaming heat, an instantly throbbing fragrance floated and dispersed in the warm wind, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and birds, Antioch couldn't help but shrug his Adam's apple.

"Your Majesty, the tea should be tasted while it is hot, not only refreshing your mind, but also being healthy and long-lived if you drink it often, please~"

Li Shun held the teacup with both hands, sniffed it slightly, took a sip, and then began to taste the aftertaste with his half-closed eyes full of comfort.

In the past two years, I have been sent to various countries, almost not have a good rest, there is no tea to drink on weekdays, all the way to the mountains and roads are rugged and difficult, the inaccessible wilderness wolves, insects, tigers and leopards emerge in endlessly, it is lucky to be able to live well to rest in peace, most of the time to have a mouthful of hot water and a mouthful of cooked food are considered happy, so since leaving Xianyang, the prosperity of Xianyang and the endless food and delicious wine and tea have all been left behind, can not think, think about the whole person is not good.

And today, they can sit in the palace of the Rest Empire and accompany their emperors to eat meat, drink wine, chat and drink tea, and only then did Antiochus III personally say that he would convene ministers to discuss the matter of envoying to Qin, then the envoy to the Western countries this time is considered completed, and the rest is to return to Great Qin safely.

Thinking of the first time Chen Xu fooled him into sending an envoy to the Yue Clan, Li Shun suddenly realized that perhaps being an envoy was the best way to realize the meaning of his life.

If it weren't for Qinghehou, he would never have known that this world was so wonderful and vast.

Although there are many dangers and hardships along the way, there are also various wonderful scenery along the way, such as the layers of snow-capped peaks that cannot be looked up, the thousands of galloping bison and camels, the fierce and burly lions, the peacock that seems to be a legendary bird, the Dawan BMW of the snow-capped mountain plateau, etc., the exotic scenery of one scene after another is like a flowing cloud of smoke and clouds, accompanied by the curling fragrance of tea from Li Shun's eyes.

Especially the little ladies who came to various countries along the way, or savage or docile, or shy or elven eccentric, Wen Cun has enjoyed not a hundred but eighty, and the delicate faces that are immature or mature emerge from their minds like a marquee, and a seductive body and delicate moans are still echoing in their minds.

"Wow~"

Antioch imitated the sound of Li Shun drinking tea and pulled Li Shun back from his imagination, and the little lady with white flowers in her head instantly turned into hot air in front of her eyes, only the young and beautiful concubine in a snow-white dress sitting on Antioch's left was holding the teacup, looking at him without blinking.

A pair of big sapphire eyes full of infinite indulgence and temptation.

In an instant, Li Shun felt that his throat was a little dry, his heart and liver trembled slightly, and he quickly withdrew his eyes and lowered his head to drink tea, and strangled an idea that suddenly rose in his mind and suppressed it with the Liangyi gossip array.

The wife of the emperor, who is 20,000 miles away from Great Qin, is afraid that if she can't escape from Great Qin with ten lives, she will be cut to pieces.

It's no wonder that Li Shun has this terrible idea, but since he started drinking wine, this woman's eyes have been seducing him nakedly, as if she was full of all kinds of intentions towards him.

I don't know if Emperor Antiochus has noticed this very abnormal look between his concubine and the envoys of Great Qin, but if he continues like this, Li Shun does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to walk out of the palace alive today, and maybe he will soon be broken by Antioch and buried under the apple tree in the garden.

If this result happens, I am afraid that the entire mission will be buried in this distant western country, and I want to wait until Daqin comes to avenge himself.

"Perhaps, you really shouldn't drink the Qinghe wine sent by Hou Ye today, it's unlucky!"

Thinking of Chen Xu's expression full of expectations and worries when he gave this bottle of wine, as well as the tone of voice when he said those words, Li Shun felt that he seemed to have done something wrong at this time, and it seemed that he should not take out this bottle of Qinghe wine to show off.

So after a cup of tea, Lee got up to bid farewell to Antiochus III as if he were on pins and needles, and then hurried out of the palace with a group of accompanying mission officials and a few interpreters like dogs.

And it seems that he can still feel that there are a pair of big sapphire-clear eyes behind him that have been falling on him, like a divine soul possessing a body.

Who the hell is she? ()
