Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 262 Firecrackers to Exorcise Ghosts and Evil

"Hahaha, Aiqing is free of courtesy." Wang Yan helped Qin Shihuang get off the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw the three big gilt characters of Qifengju.

"Aiqing, your handwriting is very good." Qin Shihuang's calligraphy skills are quite high, and he can tell at a glance that the three characters of Qifengju are very well written.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Xiao Hong bowed and said, in fact, these three characters were not written by Xiao Hong, but by the system.

After Qin Shihuang got out of the car, a group of ministers and concubines also got out of the car and stood behind Qin Shihuang.

"Ming Su set off firecrackers" Under Xiao Hong's signal, Ming Su took two servants and bowed to salute, then took out two hanging firecrackers, lit them in his hands, and threw them in the open space far away.

"Pili bala..." Accompanied by a deafening sound, the things thrown on the ground actually started to explode, and at the same time, a puff of blue smoke rose into the air, and many fragments of firecrackers flew into the crowd of onlookers .

This sudden noise immediately scared the crowd around and fled in all directions. Many people screamed, and the scene became completely chaotic for a while.

"Protect Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Wang Yan pulled out Qin Jian from his waist and shouted loudly.

A group of Xuanwu guards also pulled out the Qin swords from their waists to protect Qin Shihuang and a group of concubines behind them. Their eyes kept scanning the surroundings, apparently as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Everyone, don't panic. These are firecrackers, which are used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. They won't hurt you," Xiao Hong said loudly when he saw this.

Following Xiao Hong's words, the panicked crowd gradually quieted down, but everyone still looked at the debris on the ground with horror.

In fact, the firecrackers that Xiao Hong took out were not many, only two, at most no more than a thousand rings, and they were blown up in just tens of seconds, and because of the craftsmanship, many firecrackers actually did not ring.

"Your Majesty, this is a firecracker invented by me. It is specially used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Your Majesty and the empresses have been frightened. Please forgive me." Xiao Hong saw the frightened concubines and knew that this was a bit ridiculous, so he immediately bowed Shen explained.

"Scatter them all." Qin Shihuang retreated from the Xuanwu Guard, picked up an unexploded firecracker on the ground, and said, "Aiqing, are these made of gunpowder?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is made of gunpowder. It is called firecrackers. After being lit, it can be used to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and its power is extremely low, so it will not cause harm to people." Xiao Hong bowed and said.

"I didn't expect gunpowder to have the ability to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits." In fact, when Qin Shihuang saw Xiao Hong's servants lighting firecrackers with fire, he guessed that they should be made of gunpowder, so he didn't panic too much.

"I respectfully invite Your Majesty to enter Qifengju." As Qin Shihuang and his party followed Xiao Hong and Ying Shiman into Qifengju, this time all the guests invited by Xiao Hong were present.

"Wang Chen, take back all the firecrackers that didn't explode." Xiao Hong ordered, and led Qin Shihuang and others into Qifengju.

After everyone entered the Qifeng Residence, the two vermilion wooden doors were slowly closed, and the Xuanwu Guard left 20 people guarding the entrance of the Qifeng Residence.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed slowly after Qifengju closed the gate, but almost everyone picked up some scraps of firecrackers and went home.

This is something that Wu Anjun, a disciple of the Immortal Family, said can drive away ghosts and evil spirits. It may be safe to keep at home. Everyone will fight to sweep away the debris.

Qin Shihuang and his party, plus the ministers of the six ministries of the three provinces, a group of military generals in the rank of marquis and their respective families, totaled nearly 150 people.

Xiao Hong arranged Qin Shihuang's concubines, various ministers and the wives of the noble generals together, and Ying Shiman was in charge of entertaining them. At this time, Ying Shiman represented Lord Wu An, so no one was inferior in status. It is most appropriate to entertain these women.

The generals, Xiao Hong, arranged them in another large private room. After all, the generals have been fighting outside all year round, so they will inevitably be infected with gangsters. Together, it will inevitably affect his mood.

Qin Shihuang and a group of civil servants were arranged in the largest private room in Qifengju, which was also the most luxurious room in the entire Qifengju.

All the tables and chairs in the private room are made of Hainan huanghuali, while the wood used for the walls on all sides is golden nanmu. The windows on the walls are made of high-quality double-layer soundproof and bulletproof glass that Xiao Hong exchanged through the system. And the floor bunk is also the best silk and satin, just this private room cost Xiao Hong hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As for the sons and princesses of Fusu, they were randomly arranged in a private room, after all, the best three private rooms have already been used.

But Fusu and the others had no complaints. Lord Wu An had given them great face by sending them invitations. If they were asking for this or that, then they really didn't know how to flatter them.

"Your Majesty, please" Xiao Hong bowed and invited Qin Shihuang to enter the private room named Yunqi Longxiang Pavilion. Of course, this private room was not available to ordinary people except Qin Shihuang and a group of dignitaries.

"Your Majesty, please enjoy the cross talk first, and I will go and see how the meals are prepared."

"Aiqing, let's go, I haven't listened to cross talk for a long time." Qin Shihuang signaled Xiao Hong to leave them alone.

And Xiao Hong wanted to see the cross talk in all four private rooms, so he placed the cross talk in the middle of the four private rooms, as long as he opened the door of the private room, he could see the cross talk outside.

After Xiao Hong saw Qin Shihuang and the others started listening to cross talk, he slowly exited the private room and headed for the kitchen.

At this time, the kitchen of Qifengju was filled with Shaofu officials and a large number of internal officials (eunuchs). They were strictly inspecting every item of food, and all prepared food must be inspected by Shaofu officials and internal officials. It is a very troublesome and cumbersome thing to test the poison, and it can only be served to Qin Shihuang after it is confirmed to be correct.

In fact, Xiao Hong didn't want to invite Qin Shihuang at the beginning, but you have invited the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and a kind of noble general, which will definitely make Qin Shihuang feel vigilant. Once Lord Wu An conspires with these ministers to discuss some bad topics, then Qin Shihuang's country may be unstable.

So in the end Xiao Hong invited Qin Shihuang, the big deal was that the food production was a little more troublesome, anyway, Xiao Hong didn't need to do it himself.

When Xiao Hong came to the kitchen of Qifengju, a group of cooks were busy under the supervision of the Shaofu officials and internal officials.

"See Lord Wu An" A group of people saw Lord Wu An coming, they all put down their work and bowed to salute.

"Get up, how is the food preparation?" Xiao Hong looked at the crowded kitchen and sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't need to invite Qin Shihuang to dinner again.

"Report to Your Majesty, everything will be ready soon," the head chef in charge of the kitchen bowed and replied.

"Okay, remember not to make any mistakes." Xiao Hong nodded and looked around without finding any problems, then turned and left the kitchen.
