Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 492 Shameless

Seeing this, Lawrence realized that the gap between the Western world and Daqian was as huge as a child holding a wooden stick and a strong adult wearing armor holding a long knife.

Not only Lawrence, but other imperial emissaries also realized it.

This is exactly what Emperor Qianwu wanted.

After all, these people have no direct experience, everything is hearsay.

He believed that having these shocking things in front of them would cause more changes in their attitude towards Daqian.

Amid everyone's exclamations, the hot air balloon slowly descended.

Li Jianye stood up and said loudly: "Okay, now is the last item. If you are brave, I can take a hot air balloon tour and see the customs of Daqian."

After that, he walked towards the hot air balloon.

Jessica quickly translated, and everyone followed in a daze.

After a while, the hot air balloon took off and circled around the old city and the new city of Beijing.

After the tour, almost everyone's legs were shaking, but their faces were all flushed with excitement.

What they saw, heard and experienced today was enough for them to brag about for a long time after they returned home.

According to the original plan, the next step was the welcome banquet.

But at this moment, Li Changfeng's butler Feng Fenghuo rushed over and whispered a few words in Li Jianye's ear.

Then Li Jianye clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone! The welcome ceremony is over, and it is time to visit. Please come with me."

The first station.

Li Jianye took everyone to the train station, and everyone was shocked by the steel dragon in front of them.

Seeing the densely packed people and countless goods pulled on it, everyone was speechless in shock at its powerful loading capacity.

Such a scene is far more shocking than what Benjamin described.

The second stop.

Li Jianye took them to the weaving factory.

The last time Benjamin came to Daqian, the textile factory had not been built yet, so they naturally had no news at all.

When they saw a large number of looms working rapidly under the drive of motors, and cloth was produced at an astonishing speed, everyone was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them.

With their limited knowledge and knowledge, it was difficult for them to understand what they saw in front of them.

Apart from Omaika, they had no other words to express the huge shock to their souls.

At this time, it was almost dark.

They did not take them to visit motorcycle factories, automobile factories, bicycle factories, steel mills, cement factories, etc. Li Jianye just pointed at them from a distance and introduced them.

Even so, everyone was stunned by the tall buildings and the astonishing factory area.

By the time these introductions were finished, it was already dark.

After walking out of the factory and entering the new city, everyone was once again shocked by the bustling streets lit by electric lights and the bustling crowds. The various novelties sold on both sides of the street seemed to be doing very well.

They can see the whole thing at a glance. Just by seeing this, they know how well Daqian's economy is developing.

The smart people's minds immediately became active. Such a prosperous place was simply the best choice for doing business and making money.

They spent this day in shock.

They realized more intuitively and deeply that Daqian far surpassed their country in both military and economic terms.

The realization left them feeling a bit defeated.

But it was more of a burning desire.Next came the banquet. The dishes were all provided by Li Changfeng’s Diandude. The delicious food of Daqian certainly made everyone praise it.

Everyone was very satisfied with today's reception.

……

Early the next morning, Li Changfeng got up early.

He must be present at the court meeting today.

I arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall in a hurry. As soon as I came in and said hello to Feng Quji, Ye Qingcang and others, Emperor Qianwu came.

After the worship, Emperor Qianwu didn't waste any time and directly issued the decree.

"The messengers from the nations of the West."

Following the eunuch's call, the envoys entered the palace.

To Li Changfeng's surprise, these envoys actually performed three kowtows and nine bows according to Daqian etiquette.

Although the movements are a bit clumsy and not standard enough, they have everything they need.

What Li Changfeng didn't know was that they originally planned to meet according to Western etiquette. However, after the special welcome ceremony yesterday, everyone decided to use the highest etiquette of Daqian.

This is enough to express their respect for Emperor Daqian. After all, they came with a mission and must leave a good enough impression.

Another thing that surprised Li Changfeng was that Jessica also entered the palace.

However, she did not wear Western-specific clothing, and was dressed in an authentic female dress. This is enough to show that she intends to draw a clear line between herself and the Western world.

She appeared here, obviously to act as a translator.

Li Changfeng was very satisfied with this arrangement, so there was no need to trouble him.

After paying homage, Lawrence took a step forward, bowed respectfully and took the lead in introducing himself.

"Dear His Majesty the Emperor of Daqian, I am an envoy from the Western Holy See. With the goodwill of the Pope, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of Daqian good health. I hope that the friendship between Daqian and the Holy See will be indestructible."

Jessica translated quickly.

After hearing this, Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Changfeng and said expressionlessly: "I have not felt the Pope's kindness, but I have felt a lot of malice. As for friendship, there is no way to talk about it!"

At this point, Emperor Qianwu's face turned as cold as frost, and his voice suddenly became much louder: "Since you represent the Holy See today, I would like to ask you, why do you keep attacking my ninth prince Li Changfeng? Do you really think that I am doing it? The armored warships can't sail to the west, and my cannons can't blow up the city wall in the west? Do you really think that I have no temper?!"

As soon as these words came out, all the messengers' nerves became tense.

Lawrence lowered his waist lower and looked more respectful.

"Dear His Majesty Emperor Daqian, the Pope asked them to preach. They were eager to make meritorious service and wanted to develop His Highness into a believer, which is why they misunderstood. The Pope is very happy to know that His Highness the Ninth Prince helped us eradicate such heresy."

When Lawrence said these words, he felt as uncomfortable as eating a handful of flies.

But on the surface, he had to look sincere and make it sound like what he said was true.

The imperial envoys behind him looked confused.

They knew that the Holy See had suffered repeated setbacks in Daqian, and they also knew that Lawrence came with the purpose of mending relations.

But they never expected that Lawrence would be so humble, talking nonsense, calling some of the top figures in the Western world heretics, not caring about how many people Li Changfeng killed, and even expressing his gratitude.

Is this still the Holy See?
It's so shameless!

At this moment, the status of the Holy See in their hearts plummeted.

On the contrary, Daqian's image became taller in their minds.
