Chapter 597: 'Setting Up a Bureau' (Part II)
Under the gentle gaze of the fat 'Roman' Viscount, Zhang Lisheng made a gesture of rearranging his thoughts, took a few deep breaths and said, "Lord Viscount."
When I was in college, I had a good relationship with the counselor who was in charge of the life and discipline of our class, and that counselor later became a lecturer at our university, and then transferred to a big man as a secretary with an economic analysis report, which is now very much used.
That big man has a bit of a problem with Director Guo's father in folk rumors, and although his status seems to have lost now, he still represents a lot of power.
If you can show enough sincerity, in fact, to prepare more metals and ores than 'Siloria', I think it is impossible for Hua to abandon the alliance with 'Siloria', but at the same time it is possible to form an alliance with 'Tateto'. β
Hearing the words of the black-haired man, although the nobles of Tatdu in the stone hall did not know much about some words, they could understand the general meaning, and after pondering for a while, Master Etefago spoke first: "Guest, we hope that your country will at least treat 'Tatdu' and 'Siloria' with an equal attitude, and you happen to have the means to do it, isn't this qiΔ too much of a coincidence?"
"Master Etefargo, don't forget, the alliance between the Western Lorians and the Chinese Kingdom also originated from a coincidence.
There is a proverb in my world that says that history is made up of coincidences. Zhang Lisheng said sincerely: "I can't prove that I am telling the truth;
I don't think you can verify if I'm lying, but take 10,000 steps back. Even if I lied to you, what would you have to lose?
The biggest loss was to send a team of samurai out of the forest to escape in vain.
As I said, I hate the Silorians now, too, and to be honest, it's an opportunity for me to be recognized, a chance to be appreciated by the big guys.
We Chinese people also have a proverb, 'Misfortune and fortune rely on it, and fortune and misfortune lie in waiting', I believe that disaster and luck can be transformed into each other. β
There was silence in the stone hall again, this time it was the Lord of Tate who broke the silence, "Guest." You say you're a scholar. But now it's not like it at all. β
"Your words are really too strange, Lord Viscount, as long as you are a human being, you will crave fame, wealth, and status, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a scholar or not. Zhang Lisheng said in a dry voice.
The viscount thought for a moment and nodded approvingly. "I was really wrong about that.
But though, like you said. Deceived by you. The biggest loss is to send a team of samurai back to your own world for nothing, but as a nobleman of Roman's domain, I can't tolerate being fooled like a fool.
Teacher Etefago. Do you have 'honest powder' on you?"
"Of course, Viscount, I always carry this kind of thing with me. The old man on the side said as he took out an animal skin bag from his expressionless sleeve.
"Then please make a glass of 'Promise Wine' that suits our guests. Viscount Tattdu commanded with a smile.
"As you wish, Lord Viscount. The old man replied, carefully looking at the man not far away, estimating his weight, opening the leather bag, and picking out a speck of scarlet powder with his fingernails.
At this time, the servants who had been waiting close to the wall had already brought a full cup of sweet fruit wine, dipped the red powder on their nails into the wine and stirred it, the old man stood up, stretched out his thin arm without a trace of fat, put the wine glass in front of the man from the other world, and said bluntly: "Drink it, whether your plan succeeds or not, find a way to come back here in six months at the latest, otherwise you will die."
You can try detoxification, but the result is likely to be vomiting blood and dying right away. β
"I, I, I can't be bound by yours forever in order to go home, and I'd rather be now, and have my head cut off right now. Zhang Lisheng looked down at the blood-red liquor in the wine glass, his face was red and white for a while, and his lips trembled and said.
"Guest, you have misunderstood, the people of Tattdu believe in faith and fairness," Viscount Tattdu explained quietly, "as long as you do what you promised, whether you succeed or not, we will release the shackles of the 'Wine of Promise' on you."
Also, I think maybe some treasure will increase your chances of success, according to the spies, the gold and gems of 'Roman' are equally precious in your 'world', and I will have some for you when you leave. β
Hearing these words, Zhang Lisheng's face gradually became a little better, and finally showed a resolute intention, picked up the wine glass with trembling hands, and drank it all violently.
After drinking the poisoned wine, he calmed down, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly asked Etfargo, "Master Etfargo, why do you have poison with you?"
"Guest, when domesticating the most ferocious and cunning beasts, the 'Honest Powder' is the best weapon. Etfargo smiled for the first time and said grimly.
"Use poison to tame beasts, do those birds and beasts still know how to be threatened..."Zhang Lisheng shook his head, but then he didn't want to listen to Etfargo's explanation, turned his head to look at Viscount Tattdu and said: "Lord Viscount, I have encountered too many things today, and now I am really exhausted, can you arrange for me to take a hot bath and rest quickly?"
"Of course, guest, you are now our real guest. Lord Tattdu smiled and nodded, and commanded, "Dolma, take our distinguished guests to the castle's bedroom to rest, bring the hot spring pool, and serve the freshest fruit and mellow milk wine." β
"Yes, sir. The tall but feminine Roman maid who was waiting on one side said respectfully.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount. At this time, Zhang Lisheng had already stood up and finally asked: "Half a year is not a long time, but it is not short, and I cherish every day very much."
I want to go back to my own world as soon as I'm rested, can I do that, Lord Viscount?"
"Of course, guest, I will order someone to arrange a qiΔ. Viscount Tattdu touched his fat chin, nodded, and watched the black-haired man stagger out of the stone hall, and instructed his chief and the military general of the territory: "Hedland prepares ten gold bricks, five of the most thorough black gems, and five rubies.
Howden, select a group of the most elite warriors to stand by, and when our guests wake up, let him go home with the treasure. β
"Yes, sir. Wymande and Hedland showed a surprised expression on their faces because of the lord's generosity, and looked at each other with a look at each other, before they answered at the same time, as soon as their words fell, the herdsman official, who had not said a word from beginning to end during the discussion on the side, suddenly looked at Viscount Roman and said: "My lord, the gold veins of Mount Xilei have been mined very smoothly this year, and it is nothing to waste ten gold bricks."
But the five most thorough black gems and rubies can be exchanged for at least three hundred 'giant blackbirds' in commercial cities..."
"Mangal, do you think it's too expensive to gamble with ten cherished gems for an alliance with another worldly nation?"
"Yes, my lord, the otherworldly allies of the Silorians are not directly involved in our war, and the resources exchanged with them are only some strange food..."Under the strange gaze of the lord, the herdsman said without dodging and expressionless.
"But when we attacked the Silorians who were exploring the Otherworldly jungle with our allies, the mighty Otherworldly warrior showed his strength.
And the fact that the resource exchanged now is food, does not mean that it will always be in the future. Tate interrupted his herdsman again, his voice cold, "Don't skimp on a little gem, Mangel.
If you take a long-term view, it may be too expensive to pay now, but in the future it may be exchanged for the lives of thousands of valiant Tattour warriors.
Okay, I'm tired, let's end this meeting.
For the damned Silorian sneak attack, Mr. Etefargo, I'll leave it to you and Haugend. β
After finishing speaking, the Roman lord did not wait for others to answer, so he held on to the armrest of the stone chair with his hand, and strengthened his body, and immediately a servant on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to help, and at this time, Zhang Lisheng had already come to a spacious room on the second floor of the Tatdu People's Political Hall.
Although the dΓ©cor and furnishings are still in the rough and simple style of 'Tatto', it is very comfortable to look at.
On the right side of the room, the smoky hot spring pool and the bedroom are not separated, but a stone bed with a soft, smooth fur cushion made of tanned soft and smooth fur cushions is placed on the stone platform on the left side, which is slightly higher and rises in three steps.
"This spa is really nice. After entering the bedroom, when the maid bowed silently and left, Zhang Lisheng immediately took off his clothes, jumped into the hot spring, and muttered comfortably.
In the mist, he indifferently spit out the poisonous wine he had just drunk from his stomach, condensed into a crystal red water balloon and pinched it in his hand, and carefully observed, "The poison that will only occur in half a year, I really can't imagine that the earth civilization can't invent it, only the poison is stored in the Chinese martial arts book, but these barbaric 'big men' can study it."
Or is this simply a threat...",
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lisheng suddenly heard the stone door of the room being pushed open again, and hurriedly threw the red ball in his hand into the hot spring.
The red ball was originally a liquid, but after entering the water, it did not disperse, but sank directly to the bottom of the pool.
"Who, who's coming?" After covering up the flaws, Zhang Lisheng turned his head to look at the stone gate, obviously recognizing who was walking towards him, but he still pretended to be in the mist and asked, as soon as his words fell, a tame and pleasant voice came from seven or eight steps away, "It's me Zhuoma."
Honorable guest, I have brought you fresh fruit and nourishing milk wine. (To be continued......)
