Chapter 139: 139 On the way to the capital
All four regions sent ambassadors to develop goodwill with the Empire. They began to realize the Yan Huang Great Continent had changed. The Empire was as mighty as the Seven Sects and was threatening them not far away. Therefore, all four of them must follow in the footsteps, developing the country to be on par with the Empire. Sending an ambassador this time is everyone's first step.
Emperor Li Lianzhong of Datang recalled his mistakes in the past. When he sent soldiers to help, the Second Prince of Great Dazhou intervened in internal affairs. At that moment, Li Xian, The black-armored cavalry general, is miserably defeated. Until Emperor Li Lianzhong was highly displeased, ordered to imprison him for life.
At this time, the emperor realized that everything Li Xian, the Black-armored Cavalry General, spoke is all truth.
Emperor Li Lianzhong pardoned Li Xian. Along with the Royal Command appointing to be the Empire's ambassador, Li Xian has several qualities. The royal family, who used to fight with the imperial army, have previous experience. Making him the chosen one this time.
The Datang Ceremonial Office presented a letter of intent to deliver the ambassador to the Empire. Of course, the Empire was very welcoming, sending three cars to meet Li Xian at the border.
At the border of the Empire and Datang, Foreign ministry officials came out to welcome the ambassador. Along with submitting identity documents explaining the various details
"According to the Shenzhou Declaration requirements, your diplomatic status will be protected in the imperial borders. Don't have to be punished for wrongdoing. But the judiciary will immediately expel them from the country. According to international law that has been signed," the official said.
"I understand." Li Xian received the documents and went up to the car that was arranged. Da Tang's ambassadors consisted of ten representatives from the ceremonial ministry, including Li Xian. In this mission, they needed to obtain technology from the Empire to return to their country.
A convoy escapes from the imperial border to the capital Shenzhou. Along the main road that was just under construction.
Soon, Li Xian felt he had been imprisoned for so long he couldn't keep up with the world. A year later, he discovered a new vehicle that did not require animal driving. Not only that, but the cars are also very comfortable.
"Fresh cool air It is also comfortable and not tired." Li Xian felt he liked the car.
The air conditioning inside the car sent out cool, refreshing air. Not only that, the soft leather seats almost made Li Qian fall asleep.
And when Li Qian realized that this car could go over a thousand kilometers in one day. He began to feel he had to own this thing.
"The car is amazing."
Li Xian was a former Black Horse General. He likes the feeling when he rides a warhorse, being free. But in comparison, a car is a thousand times better than a warhorse. A car is something that can instantly attract every man like magic.
Li Xian tried to keep an eye on the driver controlling the car. He found that controlling this was not very difficult; he can copy.
Looking out the window, Li Xian found this main road passed through many of the Empire's cities. Outside, 2-3 floors of commercial buildings have already been seen.
"The design of the Empire's building is very weird. The square building was devoid of art." At that time, Li Xian suddenly thought of something.
"Wait, when I came last time, there weren't any roads and buildings here. How many hundred thousand people have they had to recruit to build this fast?" Li Xian mumbled in suspicion. Look around the car. The entire road is spacious, paved with cement. Commercial buildings line both sides of the road. Looking together, I felt a sense of greatness. The driver, a foreign ministry official, smiled in contempt for Li Xian, who acts like people from ancient times.
"Wait for the ambassador to see the capital of Shenzhou first. You will find this place is nothing," said the driver. He looked forward to the expression when Li Xian saw the capital for the first time.
Li Xian listened, confused, unaware of the implication that the driver wanted to convey.
"Any city would be the same. It's not that different," Li Xian said proudly. He is the royal family, the Li family. Former great black-armored general, is there any civilization in the city that he has never seen before?
After eight hours of driving, Li Xian had just realized that traveling long distances could have been so comfortable. Compared to the past, where a long journey with war horses at this distance would take up to three full days to travel without rest. The body was exhausted, with no food to eat. Pain in the buttocks and waist until the body almost split apart. But on this journey, he fell asleep several times in the cool air. There was one time when he wanted to go to the toilet. The royal train of ambassadors stopped at a gas station on the side of the road.
At the gas station, Li Xian felt a truly clean toilet. He could take his head as a pledge that no such clean toilet like this, even if it was a royal palace. No smell and having a light bulb make a great impression on first-time visitors.
Clean white ceramic toilet without a spot, like a precious thing. Li Xian almost didn't dare to use it.
After taking care of his body need, just press the button on the top, then clean water flows out to clean the toilet.
There was also a washbasin with soap in the bathroom and, more surprisingly, a large clear glass installed in the bathroom. Can clearly see half the body, even pores and pimples on the face are clear.
"Which damn person dares to put such a precious item in the bathroom like this?" Li Xian said with regret. To him, even soap was a rare treasure. Although the price of soap in the market has returned to normal. But Li Xian still felt that just the bathroom was too extravagant.
"If the empire continued to be this extravagant, it would be bankrupt soon," Li Xian had predicted the future. If the Empire continues to do this example, it will soon be in a financial crisis.
"How beautiful the bathroom is. I really want to live here." Li Xian's followers in the ambassador group all had similar symptoms. Some people even had the crazy idea of wanting to sleep in the bathroom.
In the gas station, there were also convenience stores selling various products made in the Empire. There are a variety of products, including daily life goods. Snacks and sweets packed in suitable plastic bags and, on top of that, are also very cheap.
"Wow, this thing is cheaper than in Datang."
"You guys, look, there are also snacks for sale here."
The Ambassador of Datang acts like a child found a toy, shouting loudly at convenience stores. After that, they spent a lot on products. The Foreign Ministry officials saw this and shook his head lightly. This is just a gas station, and they are super excited. If they saw the capital in doubt, they would have had a heart attack.
Li Xian and the ambassador had fun shopping in a convenience store. As if visiting a foreign country.
The ambassador parade set off again. And after two hours, Li Xian suddenly started to feel strange that the car and the ground were lifting up.
"What's going on?" Li Xian and the ambassador procession began to panic. Because they found that the car was getting higher and higher.
"We are entering a special elevated road in Shenzhou. Welcome to the capital," said the officer with a smile while staring at their face.
The two sides of the road have changed. The car was on an elevated highway that was more than ten meters high. Can look down on the ground easily. Also, the windshield showed Li Xian and his companions to meet Shenzhou's capital, the pride of the Empire.
