Chapter 679 Discovered
After Sun Ren introduced Feng Quji, he immediately introduced Li Si, but was corrected by Li Si before he said that Li Si was the Prime Minister Zuo.
Sun Ren was just stunned for a moment, but introduced Li Siwei without any hesitation.
After the seven envoys learned about the relationship between Li Si and Feng Quji, they all reported their names.
When Li Si and Feng Quji heard this, they were a little speechless about their long names. This must have been counterproductive for Ying Zheng to remember, so they directly gave them the name of Da Qin.
However, for convenience, Li Si still called them the envoys of such and such country.
After introducing each other, Li Si and Feng Quji were a little shocked that these envoys could actually speak the words of their Great Qin. Although it was very lame, they could still hear them clearly.
So there was no need for translation, it was all thanks to the people in the caravan teaching them.
Although they have only studied for more than half a year, they already basically know simplified Chinese characters and Mandarin.
Feng Quji stepped forward and said: "Emissaries, today I am here to entertain the various countries on the orders of His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin. At the same time, I want to know the demands of the envoys from various countries and resolve everyone's doubts."
The envoy from Wusun State was the first to speak: "Dear Prime Minister, I am the envoy from Wusun State. On behalf of my king, Wusun State, I want to form a state of friendship with Great Qin."
"The same goes for our Yuezhi Kingdom."
"And my country, Dawan."
"And my country of Parthia."
All of a sudden, all the kingdom envoys stood up to express their intentions.
Feng Quji smiled and said: "I will tell the First Emperor your demands, but I don't see any sincerity in your request to become an ally with Great Qin. Therefore, can I understand that you have no use for this idea?"
"No, no, no..." said the Yuezhi Kingdom envoy, "Prime Minister, you misunderstood. I, the Yuezhi King, ordered me to bring a gift to His Majesty, the First Emperor of Qin, as well as a letter of credence.
Our country, the Yuezhi, is willing to become a vassal to the Great Qin and hopes that the Great Qin can protect our country, the Yuezhi. "
"I, the King of Wusun, also hope that His Majesty, the First Emperor of Qin, can protect the Wusun Kingdom. In this regard, our Wusun Kingdom is willing to surrender to His Majesty the First Emperor."
"And my country of Parthia..."
Soon, the seven envoys spoke again, but this time they changed from friends to ministers.
Feng Quji smiled at this and did not explain too much. The two parties were located in different places and had just learned the language of Da Qin. It was normal for them to say some words incorrectly.
"Okay, I will tell His Majesty everything you said.
but. I am very curious about your country. You might as well introduce it to me so that I can inform Your Majesty when I get back. In addition, I have prepared Daqin delicacies for you.
We ate and talked. "
"Thank you, Prime Minister." The envoys from various countries said.
In the reception hall, Gan Mao and the other two people, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't sit still. The time was too long. They drank a lot of tea and ate a lot of cakes, but they hadn't seen anyone yet.
Bai Siqi was the first to speak: "I can't wait any longer. I really don't want to wait any longer. Whichever of you two likes to wait, just wait. I can't wait any longer."
Meng Xifan said: "I don't want to wait anymore. It's not an option to wait like this. None of us know whether His Majesty will stay with them and come back after dinner."
"Are you sure you want to leave?" Gan Mao asked, "I've been waiting for so long and I don't insist anymore."
"I don't insist anymore." Bai Siqi said, "I'm leaving. I asked my servants to stay here. As soon as Feng Quji comes back, he will notify me. I will come back in a hurry."
"Good idea." Meng Xifan said, "Just send your servants to wait here."
"Since you don't want to wait, I won't force you. If it's too late to inform you, don't blame me.
Let me explain this in advance. Gan Mao said.
"Lao Gan, what you said is wrong." Meng Xifan said, "Can't you wait for us?"
"I want to wait, Feng Quji won't let me
Wait, if possible, Feng Quji will send them directly to see His Majesty. "Gan Mao replied.
Bai Siqi suddenly became displeased and said, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Your Majesty wants to see them, who among us dares to stop him?"
"This is why we are here." Gan Mao explained, "The main purpose of our coming here is to confirm whether there is an envoy from the Western Regions.
If there is, no matter who sees it, we just need to follow him. Even if we go to see His Majesty, we can follow him together.
However, if you are not here, I will not be able to inform you if I go to see His Majesty. "
Meng Xifan nodded and said, "What Lao Gan said makes sense, no matter who sees the group of envoys first, we can all see them together as long as we are here.
If we weren't here, we would be late. "
"But I'm hungry now and want to eat." Bai Siqi said.
"Isn't there some pastry?" Gan Mao said.
Bai Siqi said displeased again: "I, the majestic head of the Bai family, the naval marshal of the Qin Dynasty, do you want me to eat cakes to satisfy my hunger?"
"What's wrong with eating pastry?" Meng Xifan said, then picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, "Aren't we eating it too?"
"That's you, not me." Bai Siqi said, then stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "You can continue eating, I will go to the kitchen and let someone cook a bowl of noodles."
"Wait, I want it too." Upon hearing this, Meng Xifan threw away the cake in his hand and followed him out.
Gan Mao touched his belly, looked at the pastries on the plate, and finally sighed: "The pastries are indeed not as delicious as the noodles."
Immediately, Gan Mao also walked out, and under the guidance of Feng Mansion's servants, the three of them came to the kitchen.
"It smells so good," Bai Siqi said.
"Isn't it normal for the smell of vegetables to smell in the kitchen?" Gan Mao said.
"No." Bai Siqi waved his hand and said, "This is the smell of freshly cooked dishes."
Then he grabbed a chef's lapel and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, who did you cook for?"
Gan Mao and Meng Xifan also reacted and asked the chef at the same time: "Tell me, who did you cook for?"
The chef suddenly felt the pressure brought by the three heads of the family, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead, and he stammered: "The... master... ordered... the little man... to do... what he did."
"What?" Gan Mao and the other three were shocked at the same time. Feng Quji was back.
"You bastard, Feng Quji didn't come to see us even after he came back?" Bai Siqi said angrily.
"He doesn't take us all seriously at all." Meng Xifan said with a gloomy face.
Gan Mao said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this old fox deliberately avoided us and went to meet those people from the Western Regions first. This further proves that these people from the Western Regions are probably envoys from various countries."
"Then why are we standing still? Let's go find Feng Quji." Bai Siqi said.
"Let's go." Gan Mao made up his mind.
Then the three of them started looking for Feng Quji.
