People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

"Brother, are you serious?"

Brother Qin's words immediately made Qin Hui and others look incredulous. You know, they have known the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

From the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Dali, one of the borders between the Ming and Song Dynasties, even the shortest distance is more than 5,000 miles. Even if you gallop, it will take at least half a month, but Brother Qin said that it only takes five or six days by train.

"Why would I lie to you? It just so happens that the railway between the Ming Dynasty and Dali has been connected since May last year. When the time comes, you can ask more merchants from Dali and you will know."

Faced with their doubts, Brother Qin was not angry. If he had not heard several merchants he had received talk about it, he would not believe it.

"Don't get me wrong, little brother. We don't disbelieve you. We just find it a little unbelievable."

Of course, although he apologized, in fact, whether it was Qin Hui or others, they were shocked by the other party's words. If what the other party said was true, then this kind of thing would be too terrible. If such a railway was used in war...

Thinking of this, Qin Hui shuddered, and he didn't think that the problem that he could think of would not be thought of by the Emperor Ming and the civil and military officials of the court.

He even began to suspect that the purpose of the Emperor Ming's original construction of these railways was to invest in war.

And according to Brother Qin, there are more than one such railway, there are more than a dozen, and the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the entire Ming Dynasty have such railways.

"Sister Ruoqiong, do you think what he said is true?"

Brother Qin's words naturally attracted the attention of Zhao Fujin and the two girls in the carriage, and they were also shocked by the terrible speed.

"It should be true, and didn't this young man Qin say that such things can be known by asking a few more merchants from the two countries!"

"Then sister Ruoqiong, if such a railway is also built to our Song Dynasty's Tokyo, can it be reached in a few days?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Not to mention that Zhao Fujin's words really shocked Li Qingzhao.

You should know that the distance between their Song Dynasty's Tokyo and Ming Dynasty's Beijing is about the same as that of Dali. Since it only takes five or six days from Beijing to Dali, is it the same from Beijing to Tokyo? Then what is the point of their living in the wind and rain for several months? Did they suffer in vain?

And if Ming Dynasty wants to use these railways to invade their Song Dynasty one day...

In an instant, Li Qingzhao, the most talented woman in Song Dynasty, couldn't help but think of the same thing as Qin Hui, the most treacherous minister in Song Dynasty.

"We're here, this is Honglu Temple!"

Qin Hui and others, who were still in shock, suddenly heard the voice of young man Qin.

Qin Hui and others came back to their senses after hearing this and looked at the Honglu Temple in front of them, which was specially used by the Ming Dynasty to receive foreign envoys.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother!"

"You're welcome. You can come to me if you have such a thing in the future. The price remains the same."

Waving his hand, Brother Qin turned around and left after saying this.

"You are the prime minister of our Song Dynasty. Why should you be so polite to a Ming citizen!"

After Brother Qin's figure completely disappeared, Liu Ping'an, who was the person in charge of escorting the envoys, looked puzzled.

It was okay to face those people in the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Camp before, after all, they controlled whether they could enter the city, and the fate of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty envoys happened under their noses.

But this guest master surnamed Qin was just a commoner of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't even have an official position. Why should their prime minister be so polite?

In fact, it was not only Deputy Envoy Liu who was puzzled. Even Zhao Fujin and Li Qingzhao, who were sitting in the carriage, and a group of guards were puzzled.

"Do you think that it is a disgrace for the Song Dynasty to be so polite to a citizen of another country?"

Hearing Deputy Envoy Liu's words and seeing the attitudes of Zhao Fujin's two daughters and a group of soldiers, Qin Hui knew what they were thinking.

"Please give me some advice, sir!"

Don't mention it, they really wanted to hear what the prime minister of the Song Dynasty could say.

You know, as an envoy of a country, they often represent the face of their country, and Qin Hui's actions clearly lowered the face of their Song Dynasty to the extreme.

Seeing that Liu and his people were listening attentively, Qin Hui did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think is the purpose of our visit this time?"

"Of course it's for marriage!"

Isn't this obvious? As one of the deputy envoys of the Imperial City Department, Deputy Envoy Liu naturally knew their purpose this time.

But Qin Hui shook his head, "No, you are wrong. We are here to ask for help. We are here to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help us drive away the Mongols."

What marriage? What alliance? It's all bullshit! Others don't know. Does Qin Hui alsoDon't you know that the so-called marriage is just an excuse for the Ming Dynasty to send troops?

"Ask for help?"

Qin Hui's words stunned everyone, and they couldn't figure it out for a while. Li Qingzhao, who was always quick-witted, seemed to have thought of something but was not sure.

"Yes, it's asking for help. Ask the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help us drive away the Mongols and recover the lost land!

So if you ask for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help. Otherwise, as the one asking for help, who will care about you if you put on a high-handed attitude? People are not cheap!"

"But even so, you don't need to be so polite to a guest who has no official status, right?"

Although Qin Hui's words were right, Deputy Envoy Liu still felt that Qin Hui was so polite to a Ming commoner who had no official status, which was simply a loss of dignity for their Song Dynasty.

"Oh, do you really think that young man Qin is just an ordinary receptionist?"

Qin Hui glanced at Deputy Envoy Liu, and seemed a little disappointed that the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department had not noticed the problem until now.

"What!"

Qin Hui's words startled Deputy Envoy Liu, and even the other two women were a little confused.

"Sir, do you mean that the man just now..."

"What do you mean? I don't mean anything!"

Deputy Envoy Liu was interrupted before he finished speaking. Perhaps Qin Hui didn't know much about other things, but he was absolutely first-class in judging people.

At least in the entire Song Dynasty, if he dared to call himself the second, no one would dare to call himself the first. Otherwise, how could he become the prime minister of a country? Was it really just flattery?

"Sir..."

Looking at Qin Hui's back as he turned and walked towards the gate of the Honglu Temple, Liu Ping'an, the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department, was a little at a loss for a moment.

Who is Qin Hui? He was a treacherous villain who relied on flattery to rise to power and killed General Yue. Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew this.

At least that's what Liu Ping'an thought, or everyone in the world thought so.

But now it seems that my understanding of this prime minister is a little too one-sided?
