Chapter 61: The Imperial City Zhen Guowei-61
Wu patiently silently calculated the expenses of the past few days.
The five hundred taels of silver allocated by His Majesty the Emperor were used up to appease the envoys. The follow-up entertainment of Edward Walker to eat, drink and have fun was spent, and about two hundred and sixty taels were spent, of which the first meal of Mochizuki Pavilion was spent the most, but the effect was also the most obvious. 、
At present, there are still more than two hundred taels of spare money available, compared to the fifty taels I originally planned, which is really enough.
Wu Nai felt that he could get to the point.
"Alas!" Wu Yan sighed, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
When Edward, who was still silently drinking tea, heard this, he hurriedly asked his friend Daxuan with concern, "What's the matter?" Why did Mr. Wu Nai suddenly sigh?"
Wu Nai waved his hand with a difficult face and said, "Alas, there is one thing, I have to hide it from Mr. Edward. However, I think it's very bad to hide something from my friends, because this matter is somewhat aimed at Mr. Edward. So right now, I'm in a lot of pain. ”
When Edward heard this, he became alert, and he quickly asked, "What is it about me?"
Wu Nai sighed again, then shook his head.
Edward was a little anxious, and then asked, "Mr. Wu Nai, you really can't tell me?"
Wu Nai pretended to be very helpless, and then nodded lightly.
Wu Nai only mentioned that there was one thing that he didn't say after targeting himself, and he didn't make it clear whether it was good or bad. But looking at Wu Nai's difficult face, he could feel that it was not a good thing. Edward pondered and pondered for no avail, but instead made himself as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
However, Edward understood that Wu Nai brought it up because he deliberately wanted to say it to him. It can be seen that Wu Nai is afraid that he will leak some news, so he hopes that he can show some sincerity.
So Edward said to Wu Nai, "If Mr. Wu Nai trusts me, you can tell me what happened, and I swear in the name of the Holy Lord that I will never tell you what you mentioned today." ”
Edward showed his sincerity, took out a pendant in the shape of a "P" from his chest, touched his forehead, closed his eyes, and said reverently: "If I break my oath, may the Lord grant me the most cruel death!"
Wu Nai looked at Edward who swore and only felt funny in his heart. No matter how much you believe in your God and how much you pray before me, don't want me to believe in you completely. However, I naturally have my own way of telling you to be honest.
Wu Nai looked moved and said to Edward: "Mr. Edward, you don't have to be like this, we are friends, of course I believe in you." ”
Edward carefully withdrew the pendant and returned, "I'm just doing this to show you my sincerity. Mr. Wu Nai, can you talk about it now?"
Wu Nai was deliberately silent for a moment before he said to Edward with a solemn face: "Mr. Edward, do you know? Our Imperial Majesty actually has something that has always been dissatisfied with you. ”
Edward recalled that he had not yet made any rude acts since he came to Daxuan, so he hurriedly asked, "Why is His Majesty the Emperor dissatisfied with me?"
Wu only felt funny in patience, how much face did your beard make His Majesty the Emperor lose so much, will you not understand?
So Wu Nai deliberately asked, "How could Mr. Edward not know?"
Edward was asked this, so he recalled again that he had never dared to forget the great rituals taught to him by the chief envoy John, so he still did not find any problems. So Edward replied with a look of confusion: "This ...... I really don't know why, but I didn't do anything that violated your etiquette......"
Wu Nai shook his head, this bearded man really didn't know that he had hurt the face of the Great Xuan Tianzi, so he mentioned to Edward: "Mr. Edward, think about it carefully, and recall the angry look on the face of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Edward thought about it for a while, he really had this impression, but what made the emperor of Daxuan angry?
Edward thought suddenly, and then said loudly, "It's those duels!"
Wu Nai replied affirmatively: "Exactly. ”
Edward was in trouble, and he asked Wu Nai, "Mr. Wu Nai, why is this? I am obviously just acting according to the orders of His Majesty the Emperor and John, and the duel is very fair, and there should be no problems." ”
Wu Nai laughed: "Hahaha...... Mr. Edward, this is a matter of diplomatic prestige between the two countries. Think about it, how can your Emperor have lost three of us in a row, how can His Majesty the Emperor have a face on it?"
Edward shook his head and returned, "That's your Emperor's problem, he raised a bunch of useless waste, and he didn't lose at all. “
Wu Nai replied: "But Daxuan lost his national prestige because of the problem of martial arts, isn't this the same as telling the world, isn't our Daxuan not as powerful as Diuman? You must know that in our Daxuan Empire, whether it is the emperor or the commoners, we must pay attention to face." “
Wu patiently understood that in the past few years, the Great Xuan Empire has been in dire straits, and the territory outside the customs has been constantly lost, and His Majesty the Emperor also wants to maintain a little bit of national prestige.
Edward shook his head negatively, and said to Wu Nai: "In this way, Mr. Wu Nai, I will tell you a little secret. ”
Wu Nai nodded and listened carefully.
Edward continued, "A mysterious man broke into your Imperial City that night, and that man knew about our Diuman Inquisition. He provoked us and had a fair one-on-one duel with me. You know what? That man was as strong as a monster, and I was completely defeated by him. ”
Wu patiently laughed patiently, I really thought that your bearded man was going to give me some kind of fierce news, but this is the case? I really want to tell you proudly, I arranged it!
Of course, it was enough to be secretly refreshed, so Wu Nai pretended to be surprised and said, "What?
Edward nodded earnestly: "Unfortunately, it is true...... I actually want to fight that person a few more times, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again...... The most important thing is that that person made me understand one thing, that is, I learned about the true swordsmanship of your Great Xuan Empire. I want to say that your Daxuan's martial arts are really not weak at all, but the few guards raised by His Majesty the Emperor are not good. ”
Wu Nai almost couldn't hide his smug smile, how is it bearded? Do you dare to say that Daxuan people should learn swordsmanship from you?
However, Wu Nai also understands that Edward Walker is really very strong, and his personal skills, even if he competes with the heads of the Seven Major Sects, it is difficult to determine the outcome of the victory. It's a pity that he met Daxuan's swordsmanship genius, Bai Yu, known as "Nanchu Yijian", this young talent in the entire Daxuan Empire, I am afraid that only Jiang Ruzhen, who is known as the "Beishan Sword Immortal", can really fight with him.
Seeing that Wu Nai was silent again, Edward couldn't help but ask Wu Nai anymore: "Mr. Wu Nai, after saying so much, you told me what happened." Is it that your Imperial Majesty is not convinced, and you want to take some revenge on me?"
When the fire came, a fleeting smile appeared at the corner of Wu Nai's mouth, and he returned: "Mr. Edward, then I'll tell you about it." ”
