Chapter 831: But it's disrespectful
The yurt where the mission lived was surrounded by dozens of tents in a circle, and the 300 forbidden troops had already eaten and drunk enough, and were divided into several teams to take turns guarding the camp, so that the defense of the mission's camp could not be blocked.
"Haha, it's really a bun of dirt buns that have never been seen on the market!"
In the largest yurt room in the center, several slightly drunk officials sat around Li Shun drinking tea and chatting.
"This is natural, Qinghe wine is only produced hundreds of bottles every year, just the wine bottle in Xianyang has to be sold for thousands of dollars, and this crystal wine glass is also worth a thousand dollars, and ordinary rich businessmen can't buy it even if they have money, if it weren't for the opportunity of this mission, you and I wouldn't be able to drink it on weekdays, all the things of these Yueshi people are vulgar, how can they not be shocked?"
"Hehe, this is still thanks to Lord Li's blessing, otherwise it will all be given to the King of the Yue Clan in vain!"
"Master Li, there are still a few days to come, and those two boxes of Qinghe wine ......" an official licked his lips.
"Don't think about those two boxes, there is still a cart of red wine left to make friends and bribe the Yue nobles' Paradigm Winery, but you can leave some of our own to enjoy slowly, rest early today, I'm afraid there will be a lot of Yue Clan nobles to visit tomorrow, you all have to observe and inquire, don't miss the big things of Your Majesty and the Hou Ye!" Li Shun said lazily.
Although he had been tired all the way before, and his attitude towards the Yue's people was also entangled, judging from the performance of today's Yue's king, there was no great danger in this mission, and the rest was to inquire about the news, and then wait for Mao Dun to arrive before he could go home.
Thinking that he might be awarded the title of a fourth-grade official after going back, Li Shun's heart instantly became hot, three years ago he was just a poor and sour man who couldn't eat enough to eat, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to become an important minister of Daqin in the court, Li Shun felt that he still had a feeling of dreaming.
"My lord, King Zuoping is visiting outside!"
Just as a group of people were about to disperse to rest, the captain of the forbidden army came in to report.
"Well, please!"
Li Shun and several officials hurriedly sorted out their clothes and stood up to greet them, and soon Zuo Pingwang, who was over fifty years old, and Wen Bupo, the translator, walked in with a group of Yueshi girls wearing short clothes and short skirts.
"King Zuoping, this is ......," Li Shun and several officials were confused.
"The envoy has traveled a long way, and the king has specially arranged for some girls in the clan to come to serve and sleep, and the envoy can rest assured, they are all noble daughters, and they are not married, and a few can enjoy them at will!"
Wen Bupo translated King Zuoping's words, and the interpreter also nodded and said, "Lord Li, the king of the Yue clan specially arranged for these little ladies of the Yue clan to come to sleep with them!" ”
"Haha, then it's disrespectful for me to wait, and I ask King Zuoping to convey our gratitude to the King of the Yue Clan!" A group of officials were all overjoyed, and Li Shun also laughed happily.
After wandering around the desert and bitter cold for more than two months, I don't say that I am a young woman on weekdays, and I don't see a few mares, and every night I set up camp until there are groups of she-wolves who keep howling at the camp and are excited.
And for the officials of Daqin, who are accustomed to visiting the garden and drinking their sisters on weekdays, sleeping without a woman is simply a torture, especially a young man like Li Shun, who is twenty years old.
"Then don't disturb the rest of your envoys, and retire!" King Zuoping came and went as fast as he could, leaving a group of girls and preparing to leave.
"Hey, King Zuoping wait, come and don't be rude!"
Li Guiyi grabbed King Zuoping and instructed the two officials to bring over two bottles of red wine from Fan's Winery, two cylinders of tea from Shui's Tea House, as well as two silk horses and two sets of teapots and teacups, and put them in two linen handbags with the words "Special for Envoys" and handed them to King Zuoping and Wen Bupo.
"What does the messenger mean by this......" Although King Zuo Ping was surprised, he was still a little uneasy.
"Today's banquet to drink Qinghe wine is the Great Qin Emperor specially given to the king of the Yueshi, so the envoy can not be the master, but these are also valuable Central Plains specialties, respectively, red wine, porcelain, tea and silk, although the red wine is not as valuable as Qinghe wine, but it is also a very rare wine, tea has the effect of removing the fishy and digesting the spirit, for you to eat beef and mutton and mare's milk caused by the bloating has a good dissolving effect, long-term drinking can also prolong life and, porcelain is used to make tea, Take a small amount of tea leaves and put them in the teapot each time, and then brew them with boiling water, by the way, we are just drinking tea, Zuo Ping Wang and Mr. Wen might as well sit down and have a cup and feel it......"
Li Shun pulled Zuo Ping Wang to sit down, and after re-brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Zuo Ping Wang and Wen Bupo, smelling the special fragrance of the tea, both of them were excited, it seems that this must be another valuable drink similar to grape wine.
Blowing lightly a few times like Li Shun, sniffing a few times with his nose, and then taking a sip of hot tea, the moment the tea was entered, a slight bitterness followed by a sweet aftertaste, and the whole person's soul seemed to be activated at once.
"Curious tea, bitter and sweet, not only refreshing and moisturizing, but also full of a strange fragrance, really a taste that has never been tasted before......"
Wen Bupo, who was wearing a cloth shirt, couldn't help but praise repeatedly, not only fluent in the Central Plains, but also very precise in his words, obviously having a deep insight into the Central Plains culture.
"It's really weird, and after drinking it, I feel very warm and refreshing!" King Zuo Ping also nodded again and again, and quickly drank a cup of tea one after another, and an official next to him poured him a full cup again.
"Tea is also a specialty of my Central Plains, made by secret methods, but this time I came in a hurry, and the road is far away and I don't carry much, if King Zuoping likes it, next time I have the opportunity to go to the Central Plains, it doesn't hurt to send you a few catties!" Li Shun said with a smile.
"Then the king will thank the messenger in advance!" King Zuo Ping was very excited and thanked him.
When the two were talking, Wen Bupo and the interpreter kept translating to each other, and there was no obstacle to communication.
"Although Mr. Wen is from the Yue Clan, he seems to be very familiar with my Central Plains, have you been to the Central Plains before?" Li Shun asked curiously, Wen Bupo.
Wen Bupo was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Wen has traveled to the Central Plains before, and stayed in Zhao for several years, worshipping a sage in Handan as a teacher to learn the Central Plains culture, familiar with many Central Plains sage classics, and also very admiring the Central Plains culture, this envoy's arrival made Wen very surprised, so I also hope that after the envoy goes back, he can convey my Yue's attitude towards Daqin, whether it is the king of the Yue's family or the king of Zuoping and many tribal leaders, in fact, they all hope that the Yue's and Daqin are friendly for generations......"
"That's just right, the purpose of this envoy's visit this time is to bring Mao Dun back, and secondly, he also wants to understand the attitude of the Yue Clan King and the leaders towards my Great Qin. My Central Plains is a ceremonial state, not like to fight and kill, the Xiongnu and Donghu have repeatedly invaded our Central Plains countries for hundreds of years, burning and looting at the border, the emperor annexed the six countries before the Hun Hu was exterminated with thunder, as long as the Yueshi is willing to get along with my Daqin, and allow caravans to communicate back and forth, these tea, porcelain, wine and silk can be transported to Yueshi in the future, Yue's leather and jade and various native products can also be transported to my Daqin for sale, so that both sides have their own needs......"
"The envoy's words are very reasonable, and I will definitely bring the envoy's words to the king as they are, and I think the king must be very happy!"
While drinking tea, Li Shun and Zuo Ping Wang also communicated, and after a few cups of tea, Zuo Ping Wang and Wen Bupo each carried a special gift bag to say goodbye and leave, leaving a few timid Yueshi girls.
"Master Li, I'll wait for the sleepy to rest!" Several accompanying officials threw away the teacups and couldn't wait to stand up, and each carried the two-month girl back to their tent and went happily.
Soon only Li Shun and the two girls were left in the yurt, Li Shun suddenly couldn't help it, three times five divided by two took off their clothes, the two girls also timidly began to undress, and soon there were moans and wheezing from the tent.
"Brother Wang went to investigate, did he find out their tone?"
In the king's tent, the king of the Yue clan was slightly drunk and lying on the soft couch covered with sheepskin, and several Yue's beauties with fair skin and red hair and shawls were helping him beat his legs and back.
King Zuo Ping and Wen Bupo came back with two bags of gifts, and sat down after saluting respectfully.
"Brother Wang, just exchanged a few words with the envoy, seeing that the Great Qin Emperor did not want to attack us, he wanted to return to Maodun just by the way, the most important thing is to find out our attitude towards Great Qin, and also want to strengthen the caravan's exchanges......"
King Zuoping told what Li Shun said almost as it was.
"Brother Wang, the envoy also gave us some gifts from the Central Plains, in addition to the silk we had seen before, there were also two bottles of fine wine, a strange thing called tea and utensils and cups for making tea, you can take a look at ......"
As he spoke, King Zuo Ping took out all the four things in his pocket and placed them on the desk.
The king of the Yue clan sat up and looked at these things, although the silk was valuable, but the king of the Yue clan had seen it, after all, as long as this thing was spent enough money, it could still be obtained from the Central Plains, but tea and teapots and cups were similar to wine to them, they were all new things, Mo said that he had seen them, and he had never heard of them.
"Brother Wang, the taste of this tea is very peculiar after soaking in water, it is bitter and sweet to drink, and it is particularly refreshing, according to the messenger, this thing can also resolve the disease of food flatulence, and even drink it for a long time to prolong life......"
"What? Can it also prolong life? King Yue's face trembled, and he looked up at King Zuo Ping.
"That's how the envoy described it, Brother Wang just drank a few cups in the envoy's yurt, and he really felt extremely warm, and I don't think he would lie!" King Zuo Ping nodded seriously with a serious face.
"King, I heard that the Emperor of the Central Plains has been looking for the elixir of immortality, this thing is probably also developed by those Fang Dao warlocks in the Central Plains, even if the effect is not strong, but it must still have some effect of strengthening the body, long-term drinking must be good for the body, and seeing that this bamboo tube is so exquisite and luxurious, it must be worth a lot of money, and it is estimated that it is comparable to the grape wine I have drunk today......" Wen Bupo also explained beside him.
"It just so happens that this king ate too much meat at night, so I will arrange for someone to brew some and taste it!" The king of the Yueshi family picked up the bamboo tube containing the tea leaves and opened it, and suddenly a strange fragrance came to his face, making people have a throbbing effect.
"Yes, Brother Wang, this will be arranged!" King Zuoping quickly asked several maids in the king's tent to boil water and make tea.
Waiting for the time to boil water to make tea, King Yueshi and King Zuoping took out the two sets of teapots and teacups sent by Li Shun to play with them carefully, and felt very incredible how the Central Plains people made this kind of porcelain with almost the same size, style, specifications and even patterns.
"The people of the Central Plains are indeed smart and intelligent, these utensils are simply unimaginable, they are more smooth and lubricated than jade, and the sound of the buckle is clear and pleasant......," Zuo Ping Wang tapped the teacup with his fingers as he spoke, and sighed as he listened to the tinkling sound.
"These are luxurious things, and there is nothing unusual, the Central Plains people have always had a deep study of these exquisite utensils, those huge copper tripods and exquisite jade are very common, think that these items are made of the same process as pottery, but they are more exquisite than a hundred times, in fact, the Central Plains is more terrible is their population and countless powerful craftsmen, especially saddles and stirrups, these two are the sharp weapons of the Central Plains War, even if we can learn how to make them, but it is absolutely impossible to configure a large number of them in a short period of time, As for the sophisticated bows and crossbows and sharp weapons, even if they are given to us for another hundred years, they can't be made, if my Yue clan and Daqin have a conflict, I will inevitably fall into the same fate as the Xiongnu, so the king must be careful, his subordinates think that good trade with Daqin is the best way......" Wen Bupo said to the king of the Yue clan in a low voice.
"What Mr. said is right, this king naturally knows the strength of Daqin, otherwise he would not have endured that kind of humiliation yesterday, but my Yue clan is not the same as Daqin, there are many tribes and different minds, once it is not well controlled, it will cause the disaster of extermination, especially the king of Tunan, this king is getting older, and his disobedience is becoming more and more obvious, and he continues to collude with some tribes secretly......" The king of the Yue clan said with a worried face.
"King Tunan is already a wolf, and the king must be careful to prevent him from sabotaging this visit by the Great Qin envoy!" King Zuo Ping nodded in agreement.
"Naturally, be careful, early tomorrow morning, you will arrange for someone to go to Mingsha Mountain to bring Mao Dun back, don't give him a chance to sabotage secretly!"
"Yes, my brother will arrange it early tomorrow morning!"
