005 Teach you how to make bombs
At noon the next day, Meng Qi was discussing with Xiangguo the plan to vigorously develop agriculture and select 12 special forces.
Meng Qi raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: "The other party got the news that someone from the Pingtian Kingdom had ascended the throne so quickly, it seems that there is an eyeliner, or even a mole." ’
Pingtian is poor, Quyu is strong, and it is normal for a traitor to be a traitor.
"Follow me to the reception." Meng Qi said.
Meng Qi and his entourage came to the main hall, and then they saw Qu Yuguo's envoy, who was an obscene-looking uncle.
Can't an envoy be a good-looking person?' It's hard to figure out the purpose of this mission. Meng Qi muttered in his heart.
Meng Qi walked into the main hall, and Xiangguo next to him coughed deliberately, reminding the envoy, His Majesty the King is here, you should get up.
But the envoy just raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Qi, sitting crookedly in his chair, without any intention of getting up.
Meng Qi didn't care, he walked up to the envoy and said with a smile: "This, what do you call it?" ”
The envoy didn't seem to hear Meng Qi's words, he picked up the cup next to him, took a sip of tea, and then looked up at Meng Qi and said, "You are the new king of Hirata Kingdom." ”
"Yes, I am, my name is Meng..."
"Don't tell me, I'm hungry, get me something to eat first." The envoy brutally interrupted Meng Qi's words.
Meng Qi smiled awkwardly and instructed his subordinates: "Prepare to eat." ”
'It seems true that a weak country has no diplomacy, but it won't be so miserable, right, being bullied like this by a small envoy? Meng Qi was a little depressed.
After the meal was prepared, several people went to the table to eat, and the envoy unceremoniously sat directly in the seat of the main seat, Xiang Guo was so angry that his eyebrows straightened up, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Meng Qi.
"It's fine." Meng Qi sat next to the envoy.
At this time, the envoy saw that several maids serving dishes were beautiful, and their eyes were straight, and when a maid came to pour wine, he actually reached into the maid's skirt and touched it in front of everyone.
"Ahh The maid exclaimed, her face was flushed but she didn't dare to speak, so she could only endure the humiliation and pour the wine before daring to dodge.
The envoy withdrew his hand, put it under his nose and sniffed it, looking like he couldn't get enough of it.
Xiang Guo frowned, but didn't say anything, Meng Qi glanced at it, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
At the dinner table, the envoy didn't mean to get down to business, and Meng Qi didn't ask, he ate by himself, because he wanted to replenish his satiety, so Meng Qi ate and drank without scruples, which caused the envoy next to him to be disdainful.
"You Hirata Country was also a big country back then, even if it is reduced now, but you will not be so casually elected as the emperor." The envoy said, glancing at Meng Qi.
Meng Qi wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "The envoy said this, is it because I can't be the king of Pingtian Country?" ”
The envoy glanced at Meng Qi with some surprise, thinking that Meng Qi, who had been showing weakness, would only pretend not to hear, but this would make Meng Qi's direct question make him not know how to reply for a while, especially Meng Qi's calm eyes made him uncomfortable.
The envoy had no choice but to take a sip of his wine glass, pretending not to hear Meng Qi's words.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the envoy finally explained his intentions.
"I came here to convey the meaning of the king of Qu Yuguo, you Pingtian Kingdom did not pay tribute on time in the first three years, and now that a new monarch has taken office, the tribute for the previous three years needs to be made up in full."
Meng Qi nodded and smiled, "It should be." ”
"In addition, from this year onwards, each type of tribute will increase by 50 percent." The envoy continued.
"Can the tribute in the first three years give us some time to prepare, and besides, is it a little inappropriate to suddenly rise so much?" Meng Qi put down his chopsticks and said lightly.
"This is the intention of the king of Quyu Kingdom, if you can't pay tribute on time this year, then when our king sends troops to get it, it will not be a simple tribute." The envoy sneered.
"Oh? Are you threatening me? Meng Qi said with a strange face.
The envoy turned his head to stare at Meng Qi's eyes, and said without fear: "Sort of." ”
Meng Qi said calmly: "If I remember correctly, this is a capital crime. ”
"I am not a subject of your country."
"When you come to my place, you are considered my subject."
"How can there be such a reason, I am an envoy!"
Xiangguo next to him also hurriedly said: "The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed." ”
Seeing Xiangguo say this, the envoy was relieved, he smiled and picked up the cup and drank the tea comfortably.
As everyone knows, the sword behind him slashed, and the next moment he felt a cold neck and blood splashed.
"You..." The envoy turned his head and stared at Meng Qi with a long sword, he wanted to say something but couldn't, the wine glass in his hand shattered to the ground, and then his body collapsed to the ground.
Meng Qi put away the long sword, sat down again, picked up the chopsticks again and began to eat.
"Your Majesty, you're in trouble!" Sangkook's face twitched, and his body trembled with excitement.
"Come, Liu Neng, eat more vegetables, don't eat a few dishes that are stained with blood over there, it's unhygienic." Meng Qi talked and laughed freely.
Xiangguo was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Meng Qi's appearance, he felt a little strange.
This is my return gift to you, please take it. Meng Qi looked at Xiangguo, everything was silent.
In this way, Xiang Guo sat next to him until Meng Qi was full, during which his face changed several times, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Alright, you're full, you guys clean up here." Meng Qi beckoned.
"Liu Neng, let's go out and talk about things." Meng Qi took Xiangguo and left the place where he was eating.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty's move has brought a catastrophe to Hirata Country." Xiangguo is still a little excited to speak.
"You mean, the Qu Yu Kingdom is coming to attack us?" Meng Qi said while picking his teeth, his expression was normal, without a trace of worry.
"Killing the envoy is the biggest insult to other countries, even a small country will devote all its strength to crusade, let alone a big country like Qu Yuguo."
"Really? What is the strength of Qu Yuguo? ”
"Extremely rich, with about 500,000 troops, in recent years, Qu Yuguo is fighting against other countries' disturbances on the northeast border and local rebellions in the internal areas, so Qu Yuguo will urgently let us make up for the tributes of previous years, and add tributes to make up for the shortage of military supplies."
"In that case, we have nothing to worry about, they're in a hurry."
"Even so, according to the old age, they still have more than 100,000 troops available for deployment."
"One hundred thousand, little meaning." Meng Qi scratched his head.
Xiangguo didn't look like Meng Qi was laughing, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this immortal emperor had any tricks?
"Call General Zhang Dagen and go to the arsenal." Meng Qi said, walking towards the west by himself.
"Yes." Xiangguo received the order.
After a while, Xiangguo Liu Neng, the general Zhang Dagen and several retinues appeared in the armory together.
"See Your Majesty!" Zhang Dagen knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Meng Qi nodded, this would make him feel that this Dagen's attitude towards him seemed to have become convincing, maybe it was Meng Qi's killing of Qu Yuguo's envoy that was known by this Dagen.
The great general Zhang Dagen has always been an iron-blooded man, and he despises the cowardice and incompetence of the former monarch, so when he knows Meng Qi's methods, he vows to follow the young emperor forever.
"Today I'm going to teach you a powerful thing called a bomb!" Meng Qi had already prepared things, iron sheets, gunpowder, letters, glycerin, etc.
