Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 380 Why Are You Soft?
When the laughter of Zhuge Yan and Wei Xian faded away, Xu Qing signaled to the soldiers on guard, and the soldiers on the door pulled up the gate.Now Xu Qing has a tacit understanding with the soldiers. The soldiers knew that Xu Qing wanted to finish listening outside, so they didn't call him or open the door.

The rich door opened with a creak, and Xu Qing walked up to the mansion, but seeing Ambassador Mo pacing outside, it seemed that he didn't even enter the house.As soon as Xu Qing appeared, Ambassador Mo also saw it, snorted and said in a strange tone: "Master Xu is really busy, why, do you have time now?"

Xu Qing pretended not to know and sized him up, then scolded: "What are you?"

Ambassador Mo was furious when he heard this, and replied: "Master Xu, I am not a thing. I am an official in the same dynasty as you. How dare you insult me?"

Xu Qing sneered and shouted: "Come here, throw this nonsense thing out! Who put him in!" Immediately, two soldiers stood up from nowhere and went up to arrest Ambassador Mo.

Ambassador Mo panicked, and he also knew that what he said was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "Xu Qing, I have always known that you are eloquent and eloquent, so don't play tricks and word games with me. Today I am talking about business with you. of!"

The soldier immediately stared and scolded: "What are you, you dare to call my lord by his name when you see my lord!"

"Uh..." Ambassador Mo felt guilty. Being overly polite is a serious crime. He knelt down unwillingly and said, "I'm impolite. I'm sorry, Ambassador Cangcang. Please see Mr. Xu."

Xu Qing let out a groan, pretending to be enlightened and said: "Oh, so it's Ambassador Cang. I don't know why you came to my Xuanwu Sect?"

Ambassador Mo got up and said, "The lower official has been here since yesterday afternoon, and has been waiting for Mr. Xu to stamp his seal."

"I went to see the emperor yesterday, and I have been dealing with things. I just came back now. I kept the ambassador waiting for a long time." Xu Qing said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of seal the ambassador wants me to stamp?"

"My lord Xu, the charcoal was delivered to you the day before yesterday. You haven't put a deposit on it yet. I can't wait to explain it." Ambassador Mo took out an official document and a signature. The official document was similar to an application form submitted by Xu Qing. The thing, a sign, is a sign that Xu Qing should stamp when they transport the charcoal.

Xu Qing took it over and looked at it, and suddenly said: "Isn't this the charcoal we want? No, I don't know when it was delivered."

Ambassador Mo resisted the urge to scold others and said to Xu Qing: "Master Xu is a busy person, maybe when it was delivered, Master Xu was not there..."

"Well, no, I wasn't busy a few days ago, and I was here at the Xuanwu Gate all the time, so I couldn't miss it." Xu Qing feigned anger and said, "How dare you deceive me?"

Ambassador Mo felt bitter, and he said unfairly: "Master Xu, I also have a shipment account in my warehouse. Don't think that if you don't accept the account, you can get a fortune for nothing. If you can get it like this, people in other places will have already paid for it. used."

Xu Qing snorted and said, "Ambassador, are you talking about those carts of charcoal?"

"Yes, yes, it's charcoal," Ambassador Cang replied, "Could it be that charcoal is what your lord wants?"

Wei Xian told Xu Qing before that the court law said that charcoal should not be used for grilling and cooking, and the letter has already stated that it is used for grilling and cooking. Therefore, although there is only one word charcoal, it is not clear whether it is wood or not. Stones, but they are useful, and the fact that they sent the wrong charcoal fire is beyond debate.

Xu Qing told Ambassador Mo what he had said, and he said with an unchanging expression, "Master Xu, it's the fault of the lower officials. Please return the charcoal to Mr. Xu, and the lower officials will send someone to bring over some more charcoal."

Xu Qing was surprised, why did this person soften so quickly, wasn't he very tough before.Could it be that the people behind him have withdrawn their capital?Xu Qing still said cautiously: "Then you have to bring the charcoal before I can return the charcoal to you."

Ambassador Namo walked away without knowing why.Now, Xu Qing was even more surprised, why did the ambassador suddenly become a different person?Xu Qing shook his head, smiled puzzled, went back inside, and saw Zhuge Yan and Wei Xian reading inside.Before Zhuge Yan said that he didn’t invite the teacher, he was also reading and practicing calligraphy by himself, and he also said that it didn’t suit anyone. Xu Qing looked at him and saw that it sounded right.

Seeing Xu Qing coming, both of them got up, Xu Qing said a little bit about the doubts in his heart just now.After hearing this, the two of them thought hard. That day they went to the warehouse in Chang'an to ask for charcoal, but the ambassador in that warehouse was not what he is now.Then, Wei Xian sized up Xu Qing, and said in shock, "Master Xu, where did the sword in your hand come from?"

"Huh?" Xu Qing asked suspiciously: "Didn't you see it the day before yesterday? I made this myself."

"No, no, no..." Wei Xian picked up Xu Qing's Qinghong sword and glanced at it: "Master Xu, this scabbard was given by the emperor, right?"

Xu Qing was also stunned at this time: "You mean, when Ambassador Cang saw the scabbard, he was so frightened that he gave in?"

Wei Xian nodded and said: "Master Xu's words are correct. From my point of view, if Ambassador Cang could deliver the charcoal today, he would be really resigned. If he didn't, well...tomorrow is the grand court's day." Days, it should stir up people like Yu Shi to deal with Master Xu."

There was a sneer at the corner of Xu Qing's mouth, Yushi is dealing with me?A lesson learned from the past, now there is still that desperate Yushi who dares to deal with my young master?Xu Qing shook his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, Zhuge Yan, go and pull out all the soldiers from the battalion to see the training effect of these few days!"

Zhuge Yan took the lead, maybe it was because Xu Qing played a few small games last time, or it was because he practiced running.This time the pawns came very quickly.In less than a stick of incense, they were already standing neatly outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Not moving like a mountain.

Xu Qing deliberately stood in the dark and watched for a long time, only to see that the people on the field were all motionless, showing no signs of impatience.

Xu Qing said in his heart that this army seems to be usable, although it may not necessarily win the battle, but it should not retreat.After they had stood there for half an hour, Xu Qing went out to take a look and said, "Ahem, today's competition will continue as usual... The old rules, if you can meet the requirements, I have prepared a hundred coins here."

At this time, Zhuge Yan swung his sword, stepped forward and said, "General, the last general requests to compete with the soldiers!"

"Take the lead, General Zhuge is doing well," Xu Qing said slowly, "However, General Zhuge probably doesn't know how to do push-ups and sit-ups, right?"

Zhuge Yan looked like you don't look down upon him, and said to Xu Qing: "I saw them practicing on weekdays. That's why I learned one and a half moves..."

Xu Qing laughed loudly and said: "Well, since General Zhuge can do it, then we will not compare with that today."

"puff!"

If you learn it, you may not know it, but if you know it, you don't take the test. Zhuge Yan almost vomited three liters of blood.I saw Xu Qing squatting down, like a frog, jumped a few times, got up and said: "Today we are competing in this, and those who can jump [-] feet according to the rules will get one cent for a hundred cents."
