Chapter 831 Disrespectful

There were dozens of tents surrounding the yurt where the regiment lived, and the 300 imperial guards had already eaten and drank enough to form several teams to guard the mission, which was inconsistent with the defense of the regiment's camp.

"Haha, it's really a group of local buns that I've never seen before on the market!"

In the largest yurt in the center, several slightly drunk officials sat around Li Shun to drink tea and chat.

"This is naturally. Qinghe wine produces only hundreds of bottles every year. The wine bottle alone will be sold for thousands of dollars in Xianyang. This crystal wine glass is worth thousands of dollars. And ordinary wealthy businessmen can't buy it even if they have money. If it weren't for this opportunity to go on a mission, you and I wouldn't be able to drink it on weekdays. All the things of these Yuezhi people are vulgar. How could they not be so shocked?"

"Hehe, this is my blessing from Lord Li, otherwise it would be given to King Yuezhi for nothing!"

"Mr. Li, there are still a few days left before, those two boxes of Qinghe wine..." An official licked his lips.

"Don't think about those two boxes. There is still a car of red wine used to make friends with the paradigm winery to bribe the Yuezhi nobles. We can leave some of the red wines we can enjoy slowly by ourselves. Let's rest early today. I'm afraid that many Yuezhi nobles will come to visit tomorrow. You all have to observe and inquire. Don't miss the big affairs of Your Majesty and the Marquis!" Li Shun said lazily.

Although I was tired all the way and was also worried about the attitude of the Yuezhi people, judging from the performance of the Yuezhi King today, this mission is not too dangerous. The rest is to inquire about the news, and then wait for Maodun to arrive before he can return home. This difficult errand has been considered to have completely completed the task, so naturally he will not be able to escape the emperor's rewards and rewards when he returns.

When Li Shun thought of being named the fourth-rank official after returning, he became excited. Three years ago, he was still a poor and poor man who could not even have enough food to eat. But in a blink of an eye, he was going to be the important minister of the Qin Dynasty. Li Shun felt that he was still dreaming.

"Sir, the King Zuo Ping is visiting!"

Just as the group was about to disperse and rest, the Imperial Army Captain came in to report.

"Yeah, please!"

Li Shun and several officials quickly packed their clothes and stood up to greet them. Soon, Wang Ping, who was over 50 years old, walked in with a group of Yuezhi girls wearing short clothes and short skirts.

"Zuo Ping King is..." Li Shun and several officials were all confused.

"The envoy is tired from afar. The king specially arranged some girls in the clan to serve and sleep. The envoy rest assured that they are all noble daughters and are not married yet. You can enjoy them at will!"

Wen Bupo translated the words of King Zuo Ping, and the general translator also nodded and said, "Mr. Li, King Yuezhi specially arranged these little girls to come to sleep with him!"

"Haha, then I'll be disrespectful. Please ask King Zuo Ping to convey our gratitude to King Yuezhi!" A group of officials were all overjoyed, and Li Shun laughed happily.

After wandering around in the desert and cold land for more than two months, I usually don’t see a few mares, and every night, there are groups of female wolves who keep howling at the camp and excited.

For the Qin officials who are used to visiting gardens and drinking, sleeping without women is simply a torture, especially for young men like Li Shun who are 20 years old.

"Then I won't disturb the messengers to rest and take a break!" King Zuo Ping came and went quickly, leaving a group of girls behind and was about to leave.

"Hey, King Zuo Ping waits for a moment, it is unreasonable to come but not come!"

Li Gui grabbed King Zuo Ping and ordered the two officials to bring two bottles of red wine from Fan's Winery, two tubes of tea from Shui's Tea House, two silks and two sets of teapots and tea cups. He packed them in two linen handbags written with the envoy's special linen and handed them to King Zuo Ping and Wen Bubo.

"What does the messenger mean..." Although Zuo Pingwang was surprised, he was still a little uneasy.

"The Qinghe wines we drank today were specially given to the Yuezhi King by the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, so we were unable to make a decision without authorization, but these are also valuable Central Plains specialties, namely red wine, porcelain, tea and silk. Although red wine is not as expensive as Qinghe wine, it is also a very rare wine. Tea has the effect of removing fishy smell and digesting food and refreshing the spirit. It has a good effect on the accumulation of abdominal distension caused by eating beef, mutton and horse milk. Long-term drinking can also prolong life and live. Porcelain is used to make tea. Take a small amount of tea every time and place it in a teapot, and then brew it with boiling water. By the way, we are just drinking tea. King Zuo Ping and Mr. Wen might as well sit down and drink a cup to experience..."

Li Shun pulled Zuo Pingwang to sit down, brewed the tea again, poured a cup for Zuo Pingwang and Wen Bupo. Smelling the special fragrance of the tea, both of them were excited. It seemed that this must be another precious drink similar to grape wine.

I blew it gently a few times as Li Shun, smelled it gently with my nose, and then sipped a bit of hot hot tea. The moment the tea was in my mouth, a slight bitterness followed by a sweet aftertaste, and my whole soul seemed to be activated.

"The curious tea tastes bitter and sweet, not only refreshing and moistening the viscera, but also has a strange fragrance all over your mouth. It's a taste I've never tasted before..."

Wen Bupo, wearing a common man, couldn't help but exclaim. Not only did he speak fluently in Zhongyuan's words, but he also used very precise words, which obviously had a deep understanding of Zhongyuan culture.

"It's really strange. After drinking it, I feel extremely warm all over my body, which is very refreshing!" Zuo Pingwang also nodded repeatedly, and soon finished a cup of tea. An official next to him once more poured him a cup.

"Tea is also a specialty of my Central Plains. It is made by secret methods. It's just that I came in a hurry this time, and the journey is long and I don't carry much. If King Zuo Ping likes it next time, if I have the chance to go to Central Plains, I will give you a few kilograms!" Li Shun said with a smile.

"Then I will thank the messenger in advance!" King Zuo Ping bowed his hand and thanked him very excitedly.

While the two were talking, Wen Bupo and Tong Ling kept translating each other and there was no obstacle to communication.

"Although Mr. Wen is from the Yuezhi, he seems to be very familiar with me in the Central Plains. Have you been to the Central Plains before?" Li Shun asked Wen Bupo curiously.

Wen Bupo was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Wen had traveled to the Central Plains before and stayed in Zhao for several years. He was a wise man from Handan to learn about the Central Plains culture. He had read many classics of the Central Plains, and admired the Central Plains culture very much. This visit of the envoy surprised Wen. Therefore, he also hoped that the envoy could convey my Yuezhi's attitude towards the Qin Dynasty after he returned. Whether it was the Yuezhi King, Zuoping King, and many tribal leaders, they actually hope that the Yuezhi and the Qin Dynasty would be very friendly to each other for generations..."

"That's right. The purpose of this mission is to bring Maodun back, and the second is to understand the attitude of the King of Yuezhi and the leaders towards our Great Qin. Our Central Plains is a country of etiquette, and we do not like to fight and kill. The Huns and Donghu have repeatedly invaded our Central Plains for hundreds of years, burned, killed and looted on the border. After the emperor merged the six kingdoms, he wiped out the Huns and Hu with thunder. As long as the Yuezhi is willing to get along with our Great Qin and allow caravans to communicate, these tea, porcelain, wine, silk and satin can be transported to the Yuezhi. Yuezhi's fur, jade and various local specialties can also be transported to our Great Qin for sale, so that both sides will get their own needs..."

"The envoy's words are very reasonable. I will definitely bring the envoy's words to the king intact. I think the king must be very happy!"

While drinking tea, Li Shun and Zuo Pingwang also communicated. After drinking a few cups of tea, Zuo Pingwang and Wen Bupo said goodbye with each other, leaving behind a few timid Yuezhi girls.

"Mr. Li, we're going to rest in bed!" Several accompanying officials threw the teacup and couldn't wait to stand up, each hugging the two Yuezhi girls back to their tents and went there happily.

Soon only Li Shun and two Yuezhi girls were left in the yurt. Li Shun couldn't help it. He took off his clothes in a few seconds. The two girls also began to take off their clothes timidly. Soon, moans and gasps came from the tent.

"Brother Wang went to find out, but could he find out their voice?"

In the king's tent, the Yuezhi King was slightly drunk and lay on the soft couch covered with sheepskin. Several Yuezhi beauties with fair skin and red hair were helping him beat his legs and back.

Zuo Ping Wang and Wen Bupo came back with two bags of gifts and saluted respectfully before sitting down.

"Brother Wang, I just communicated with the envoy. Depending on the situation, the Emperor of Daqin did not intend to attack us. He wanted to go back to Maodun just by the way. The most important thing is to find out our attitude towards Daqin, and to strengthen the caravan's contacts..."

King Zuo Ping said what Li Shun said almost intact.

"Brother Wang, the messenger also gave us some gifts of Central Plains. In addition to the silk we had seen before, there were two bottles of fine wine, a strange thing called tea, utensils and cups for making tea. Look..."

When King Zuo Ping spoke, he took out all four things in his pocket and placed them on the table.

King Yuezhi sat up and looked through these things. Although silk was valuable, King Yuezhi had seen it. After all, it could still be obtained from the Central Plains with enough money. However, tea leaves and teapots and cups were similar to wine to them. They were new things. Not to mention seeing them, they had never heard of them.

"Brother Wang, this tea tastes very strange after soaking in water. It is bitter and sweet when you drink it, and it is particularly refreshing. According to the messenger, this thing can also resolve the symptoms of food accumulation and bloating, and even long-term drinking can prolong life..."

"What? Can it prolong life?" King Yuezhi shook his face and looked up at King Zuo Ping.

"The messenger is described in this way. Brother Wang just drank a few cups in the messenger's yurt. He really felt extremely warm all over. I think he would not lie!" Zuo Pingwang nodded seriously.

"King, I heard that the Emperor of the Central Plains has been looking for immortality medicine. This thing is probably something developed by those magicians in the Central Plains. Even if the effect is not strong, it must still be of some strength to strengthen the body. Long-term drinking will definitely be good for the body. Moreover, seeing that this bamboo tube is so exquisite and expensive, it must be of great value, which is probably comparable to the grape wine I drank today..." Wen Bupo also explained from the side.

"It just so happened that I ate too much meat in the evening, so I'll arrange for someone to brew some and taste it!" The Yuezhi King picked up the bamboo tube containing tea and opened it, and a strange fragrance suddenly came to his face, giving people a throbbing effect.

"Yes, Brother Wang will make arrangements!" King Zuo Ping quickly asked several maids in the king's tent to boil water and cook tea.

Waiting for the time to boil water and make tea, King Yuezhi and King Zuo Ping took out the two sets of teapots and tea cups given by Li Shun and carefully appreciated them. They were very incredible about how the people of the Central Plains made porcelain with almost the same size, style, specifications and even patterns.

"The people of the Central Plains are indeed smart and intelligent. These objects are simply unimaginable. They are smoother and smoother than jade. The sound of the button is clear and pleasant..." King Zuo Ping lightly buckles the teacup with his fingers while speaking, and sighing as he heard the jingling sound.

"These are all luxury items, and they are not unusual. The people of the Central Plains have always had a deep study of these exquisite objects. The huge copper tripods and exquisite jade objects are very common. I think these objects are made with the same craftsmanship as pottery, but they are a hundred times more exquisite. In fact, what is even more terrifying about the Central Plains is their population and countless powerful craftsmanship, especially saddles and stirrups. These two are the weapons of the Central Plains War. Even if we can learn how to make them, it is absolutely impossible to configure them in a short time. As for the excellent crossbows and sharp weapons, they cannot be made even if we give them another hundred years. If the Yuezhi and the Qin Dynasty have a conflict, they will inevitably end up like the Huns. Therefore, the king must be careful. His subordinates believe that good trade with the Qin Dynasty is the best way..." Wen Bupo said to the Yuezhi King in a low voice.

"Mr. I'm right. I naturally know the power of the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, I would not have endured that humiliation yesterday. But my Yuezhi is different from the Qin Dynasty. There are many tribes and different minds. Once I'm not well controlled, it will lead to a disaster of extermination. Especially King Toonan. I am getting older and his dissatisfaction becomes more and more obvious. I keep colluding with some tribes in secret..." King Yuezhi said with a worried look on his face.

"King Toonan is already ambition, so the king must be careful to prevent him from destroying this visit by the envoy of the Great Qin!" Zuo Ping nodded and agreed.

"Of course you have to be careful. You will arrange for someone to go to Mingsha Mountain to bring Maodun back tomorrow morning. Don't give him the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy it in secret!"
