"Have the people we sent out completed the investigation?"
"Master, no one we sent to investigate returned."
What?
No one returns?
After hearing this news, everyone's faces became very ugly.
Since Wanbao Pavilion started, they have also arranged manpower to learn about it personally.
Nai He sent people to follow and investigate them, originally thinking that the matter could be arranged airtight.
However, after investigation, all failed without exception, and none of them came back. It seems that if none of them came back, it would be a disaster!
"Everyone, why do I feel that these people from the Western Regions are not so capable?
Why do you think the person standing behind you looks like someone from my court?"
Could it be that he is really the emperor?
But you shouldn't think twice about it, just like the weapon that could cut off Kingo Guard's sword that day.
If it were really the emperor who was conducting the auction, the entire Jinwu Guard's weapons would have been updated long ago, and they would not be used in this way.
After all, if this method spreads, the risk is too high and it is not conducive to the stability of the court.
So-called drinks, no matter how profitable they are, are not as satisfying as weapons.
By the way, have you sent someone to answer the words written on the weapon?
"Go home, Lord, we have secretly arranged for many people from the Western Regions to show them this text for review.
But none of them have seen this writing, except the people from the Western Regions.
The Turks in the north, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and even Fusang in the northeast, and the Baiyue people in the south.
Even the people in various places in the Tang Dynasty have never seen this text!"
As they spoke, everyone took the weapon over again. This weapon, which was as sharp as iron and was as sharp as clay, was probably not produced in the Western Regions.
Is it really like what they say to give birth to a country even further away than the Western Regions?
I remember that at that time, His Majesty summoned merchants from all over the world to search for something called corn, which was said to be in North America.
Is it possible that this weapon was also produced in North America?
Everyone copied the above words from the paper.
fuck.
What do these 4 words mean?
Everyone thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't understand it no matter how hard they looked.
He also said yes, could it be that this is just a pattern and not a word at all?
Now it seems that there is only one conjecture, which is very consistent with the situation at this time.
Since it was just a pattern, everyone no longer had to worry about anything.
"Did the blacksmith make a copy?"
"Master, our blacksmith has already made a copy of this weapon, just, just."
"Just what?"
"Just the head of the family, the weapons we imitate can only reach the highest level of the Tang Dynasty, which are the weapons made by my court.
Compared with this weapon, we still can't reach it."
Then he asked someone to bring over the imitation weapon, and even the pattern in the middle, the four letters, were carved lifelike.
It was exactly the same. He raised the knife and slashed with it, and the weapon he imitated broke into two pieces with a click.
On the other hand, the weapons they auctioned were still intact and still standing strong.
Seeing this scene, everyone shouted, this weapon is indeed powerful.
This thing must not have been invented by the Chaotang, if it had been invented by the Chaotang.
With this weapon, people have already been sent to build it on a large scale and it will not be auctioned.
"Pass my order to the blacksmith and continue to imitate it. We must create it at all costs."
"It's the head of the family."
This Wanbao Pavilion is really getting more and more interesting.
Yesterday, my people went to buy drinks and saw that Wanbao Pavilion was selling ice cubes.
Selling ice cubes?
It's just that this time, no one said anything else. It's not a big deal for their group of merchants to sell ice cubes.
At most, in winter, the land dug is larger, so more ice cubes are stored.
And their number of merchants is relatively small, so they want to take advantage of this summer to make a lot of money.
Unlike a large family like theirs, there is so much ice stored in the cellar that they may not be able to use it all in one summer.
In the winter, storage will be carried out. This group of businessmen are really unprofitable and can make any money.
But that’s right, this is true for all businessmen!
"Master, today's drinks have been bought.
Their Wanbao Pavilion has launched ice wine again, and we also bought some.”
Ice wine, what is ice wine?
The servant explained about the ice wine.
Everyone once again lamented that this group of businessmen really knew how to make money by changing their tricks. However, this time, they did not investigate the drinking incident, and everyone was still impatient.
Is there someone behind them in the Western Region who is acting as a backer, killing everyone they investigated, or something else happened? After thinking for a moment, I sent someone to investigate again. This time, I must investigate!
…
"Guanyin Maid!"
"I have met His Majesty!"
"Hahahaha, okay, Maid Guanyin, I have finished my work at the Tai Chi Hall.
I'm coming here this time to bring you something delicious, come on."
The personal officer on the side walked forward and took the glass. In the glass, you could see a few small ice cubes and some things that he had never seen before.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Hahahaha, maidservant Guanyin, this thing is called lemonade, I got it from my dear brother.
Soak it in water and add some honey, it will be sweet and sour, full of deliciousness, it is a must-have to relieve the heat in summer.
The cup was brought over, and Li Er took it upon himself to pour it into the cup.
"Your Majesty, let me do it."
"Hahahaha, okay, Maid Guanyin, just sit there. This time I will pour you some water myself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When I took the cup handed over by His Majesty, I saw that there was still a little bit of fruit pulp floating there.
"Guanyin, please drink."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After taking the first sip, I felt a surge of sweetness and sourness rushing into my body.
Along with a hint of coolness, my whole body felt an indescribable feeling of comfort.
"Guanyin maid, how do you like this lemonade?"
"Your Majesty, this lemonade is very delicious. Your Majesty, please drink it too."
After saying that, he also picked up the cup and poured a cup for His Majesty.
The two of them drank lemonade and chatted animatedly.
"Your Majesty, this lemonade is really delicious. Where is it from the Emperor?"
Nowadays, the relationship between His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor is becoming more and more harmonious.
"Father, I sent someone to get him some more drinks and brought them over to him."
Speaking of drinks, I also gave the bottle of Erguotou that I took last time under the guise of celebrating my father’s birthday.
Of course, the last auction was a long time away from the Emperor's birthday.
"Your Majesty, although last time it was still early for the Emperor's birthday.
But this time, the Emperor’s birthday is very close at hand, and in half a month, it will be the Emperor’s birthday.”
What's half a month left?
After hearing what Guanyin Maid said, Li Er thought about it in his mind.
I was too busy before and really didn't pay attention to it, but don't tell me, time really flies so fast.
It's just that this year's Emperor's birthday, if you want to celebrate it as before, it really doesn't make sense.
Li Er thought for a moment and had his own idea in his mind.
Daming Palace.
"Come on, come on, let me ask you if you can control it, can you control it?"
"Your Majesty, your cards are too good, we can't control them!"
"Hahahaha, then there is no other way. I can only take the first step and give the money. Give the money quickly."
Several people dug around, took out the copper plates on the side, and handed them to the Supreme Emperor.
"Hahahaha, interesting, interesting!"
Summer is hot, but their Daming Palace can be said to be completely cool.
The corners of the east, west, north and south were all filled with ice, causing the temperature of the entire Daming Palace to plummet.
Everyone was playing cards together and drinking the newly brought wine. This wine was very strong and even more delicious than the wine they drank before. Li Yuan was very satisfied!
"Old slave
I’ve met the Supreme Emperor!”
While several other ministers were shuffling the cards, Wang De rushed in with a group of people.
"Well, it's you,
My son sent you here this time, what good things did you bring me?"
"Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty sent this old slave here to bring you something to drink. Your Majesty, please take a look."
An oversized glass cup was brought over. Looking at the glass cup, Li Yuan was stunned.
"What's this?"
"Reply to the Supreme Emperor,
This glass cup contains lemonade secretly brewed by His Majesty.
Although this lemonade is not as strong as alcohol, it is sweet and sour and is a must-have for relieving the heat in summer.
Your Majesty knows that the Supreme Emperor must be gathering with other adults to play cards.
So I specially arranged for the old slave to brew some more and send them over, come on!"
After a while, several glasses of lemonade were brought to the table and handed to them one by one.
Li Yuan smelled it with his nose, and a sour and sweet smell hit his nostrils.
"Well, not bad, it smells okay, but I don't know how it tastes?
Come and have a taste, you all, have a taste!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A few people took a sip and felt it was wonderful.
"Well, this lemonade is good. Send me an order to have my son deliver a bucket of it every day."
"It's the old slave of the Supreme Emperor who takes the order!"
After Wang De left, they started playing cards again. While playing, they talked about the recent events in Chang'an City. This chapter has been completed!
