Chapter 204: All Nations Come to Dynasty Sixteen
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, I have asked the Tang Dynasty to be able to compete with me, the Japanese sumo wrestling, I don't know if His Majesty the Heavenly Khan is interested in letting the samurai of the Tang Dynasty compete with me, the Japanese sumo?" Apricot said with a smile.
The small country of Japan asked how powerful the warriors of the Tang Dynasty were, and they were disdainful, so they wanted to take advantage of this to establish their authority in front of various countries, not so much to the rest of the small countries, but to warn the Tang Dynasty, these were also discussed by the Japanese king and Apricot in advance.
When Li Shimin heard this, a trace of unhappiness immediately rose in his heart, the small Japanese country, the land of projectiles is brave here, is this country not strong enough to rely on my Tang Dynasty's maritime military?
But on the face, Li Shimin did not have any fluctuations, he smiled: "My Tang warriors are all practicing killing techniques, there is no way to compare, if the Japanese envoy is willing, I can transfer a few guards to play with you?" ”
This is Li Shimin's silent threat, as soon as this remark came out, the apricot's expression was obviously suffocated, and then returned to normal, and said: "His Majesty Khan misunderstood, what I said about the competition is not a competition of force, and there will be no injuries, it is completely ornamental, my Japanese sumo wrestler has no other, and his strength is very large, so I want to show off my strength in front of you!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhang Gongjin on the side became interested, comparing strength, he Zhang Gongjin recognized the first in Datang, and absolutely no one dared to admit the second.
"Hehe, interesting, can you tell me how to compare?" After Zhang Gongjin received Li Shimin's instructions, he said to the Japanese envoy with a smile.
"It's a good place to be a Xuanwu, isn't it?" Apricot pointed to the basalt statue in the center.
"But it's that Miss Apricot is very particular about my Tang culture!" Xu Ziling, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, said with a smile.
"Xu Shaoqing's praise!" After Apricot finished speaking, she said to a very fat sumo wrestler behind her, "Carry it and take a few steps!" ”
She said this, not only the envoys of various countries, but even Xu Ziling was stunned, he knew how heavy this basalt was, and it was a bit laborious for two people to carry it, so she actually let the sumo wrestler carry it up and walk a few steps?
Xu Ziling took the opportunity to sneak a glance at Zhang Gongjin, this guy's face was not very good, and he was obviously not very confident in carrying this thing.
I saw the sumo wrestler slowly walked out, Xu Ziling, a talented person, didn't notice the special of this sumo wrestler, at this moment, he was not tall, but it was not long vertically, but it was very long horizontally, and he walked up, only feeling that the ground was shaking.
The man looked at the crowd, glanced at the apricot, and then roared, and the basalt statue was slowly carried by him.
Xu Ziling paid attention to it, and when the sumo wrestler was carrying the basalt, his face turned red, as if he had used all his strength, and when he raised the basalt over his head, his arms kept shaking.
Being able to carry such a large basalt stone is enough to show that this sumo wrestler has a lot of strength, and then looking at Zhang Gongjin's almost demented appearance, Xu Ziling became more and more determined, this is a very difficult move to complete.
Even so, the sumo wrestler still took four steps tremblingly, and these four steps made everyone present hold their breath, for fear that making a little noise would distract the sumo wrestler.
When the sumo wrestler was about to take the fifth step, the thick leg he raised shook so much that he almost didn't stand still and fell, and everyone present sweated for it, and the sumo wrestler seemed to know that he couldn't do it, so he put the basalt down with difficulty.
His face was flushed, his hands were shaking, and he was gasping for air.
Xu Ziling saw that Li Shimin and Zhang Gongjin's faces were not very good, he knew what these people were worried about, wasn't he afraid that he would not be able to do it and lose face!
Xu Ziling has long known the purpose of Japan, and this sumo wrestler must not be able to find a few in the whole country, it seems that in order to deter the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries, this Japanese country has also made a lot of efforts.
In fact, when the wrestler was performing, Xu Ziling had already muttered a few words in Lai Xianren's ear, and then he hastily drew something on paper and handed it to Lai Xianren.
He smiled and bowed his hand, and slowly came to the edge of the basalt.
Everyone was extremely inexplicable by Xu Ziling's actions, what is this guy going to do? Don't you also want to learn from the Japanese sumo wrestler who carried this stone statue with his bare hands?
Looking at Xu Ziling's figure, everyone couldn't help but look at him with all kinds of doubts, Xu Ziling looked at everyone's hot eyes, and a feeling of being worshipped suddenly appeared.
He arched his hand to the crowd, then patted the sumo wrestler in Japan on the shoulder and said, "Young man, are you tired?" ”
Burst...... Some of the people were drinking, and they couldn't help but vomit, thinking that this guy was going to perform in person, this is ...... In comfort?
"No...... Work without getting tired! The Japanese sumo wrestler gasped.
"Or are you fighting again? I didn't see it clearly! Xu Ziling suggested embarrassedly.
"This ......" The sumo wrestler's face was not very good, and his legs were still shaking.
"Xu Shaoqing said and laughed, I don't know if there is a Erlang in Datang who can take four steps?" Apricot's bland words made the envoys from all over the world look at Li Shimin unconsciously.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Gongjin hurriedly wanted to express his position, even if he was tired to death, he couldn't let Datang lose this person, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Ziling spoke first.
He still had a smile on his face, and he saw that not far away, Xianren had already made several wheel-like iron tools in the iron shop according to his instructions, and he still held a lot of coarse hemp rope in his hands.
The appearance of the iron is very strange, the dark round flat cylindrical Tito, if you look carefully, there is actually a ravine inside the Tito, if a later generation sees it, you can blurt out, pulley!
I saw Xu Ziling say: "What's so difficult about this, not only my Tang Dynasty man, but even my Tang Dynasty maid can pull this thing up!" ”
Xu Ziling's words were not shocking, as soon as he said this, everyone was full of doubts, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, he would have asked the guards to pull this fool out.
Nonsense, isn't that a joke? Are you blatantly treating the envoys of all the countries present, plus Li Shimin, for fools? Men are still tired like this, not to mention women, even if there are one or two strange people, it is not impossible to say, but you say the handmaid of the Tang Dynasty? It's not nonsense.
"Xu Shaoqing is so funny, this kind of joke doesn't seem suitable for now!" Apricot smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, no kidding!" Xu Ziling's face changed, and he said impressively: "I am a great Tang Dynasty, a majestic and prosperous era, strong soldiers and strong horses, and outstanding people, isn't it just to get this basalt?" I promise I can get everyone in the room to pull this thing up! ”
