Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C360 He Was a Wise Man



C360 He Was a Wise Man

1General Wan had a puzzled look on his face.    

    

He walked over and looked at the broken teacup.    

    

His expression wasn't too good.    

    

Even if you have money, even if your status is very high.    

    

But this is still my place.    

    

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a snake.    

    

He had to at least give himself some face, right?    

    

Falling a cup in his own house, wouldn't that be considered a slap to his face?    

    

He was just about to say something.    

    

Madam immediately walked over and grabbed him.    

    

She then stared at Xiao Yun and said in shock, "I heard that there are some top nobles in the capital who have never seen tea before! The tea they drink must be the best leaf. Removing the long stalk requires one to have no impurities at all! And these people's etiquette is... If they were given tea with tea stingers, it would be an extremely rude thing. It would be a sign of looking down on the other party, or even provoking him!"    

    

Madam's words.    

    

General Wan was shocked.    

    

A top power in the Sun Moon Country?    

    

Even he didn't dare to imagine that.    

    

As for his wife, her family background was actually different from General Wan's.    

    

Although she could not be considered to be in power now, she had once been many times more powerful. That was why his wife normally looked down on General Wan, and General Wan was also afraid of her.    

    

Otherwise, the two of them would not have been able to fight like that.    

    

He believed in Madam's words and agreed with her.    

    

He patted his own head.    

    

He hurriedly walked in front of Xiao Yun. He first cupped his hands and bowed, then said with a bitter face, "This... is a remote place. There is indeed no good tea to serve guests. I really do not have any intention of neglecting guests."    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment.    

    

Then, he looked left and right, and finally looked at his wife.    

    

His wife also walked over and explained this matter.    

    

Tea was originally an expensive item.    

    

General Wan himself did not like it, and the things he bought were not high quality goods.    

    

What he gave Xiao Yun was already the best.    

    

But compared to the expensive tea leaves in the capital, it was really a lot worse.    

    

Only then did Xiao Yun come to a realization.    

    

He smiled bitterly and said, "So that's how it is. Looks like it was a misunderstanding."    

    

He shook his head and continued, "This is my first time in business. I really don't know anything about the rules on the road. If it wasn't for everyone's reminder, it would have caused a great disaster. Sigh... It seemed like he should have walked more often. He should have locked himself up in the capital. Although my horizons are high, it's not broad enough."    

    

General Wan and his wife were stunned for a moment.    

    

They did not understand how it could cause such a huge disaster.    

    

It was just a cup of tea that fell, could this be considered a huge disaster?    

    

Then, the two of them glanced out of the corner of their eyes and accidentally saw the long saber at Badao's waist.    

    

The long blade was already half an inch out of the sheath, and it was silent!    

    

Because the long blade was sealed in the sheath, the opening would be very tight, and only then would it have a fixed effect, but it would also affect the speed at which it was pulled out.    

    

Half an inch out of the sheath would not leave any trace, and it would not be easy to be discovered. Moreover, the resistance was just right, and it was one of the most suitable starting positions to draw the blade.    

    

Could it be...    

    

General Wan broke out in cold sweat.    

    

Just now, the young master opposite him had thrown a teacup and was unhappy. The guards beside him were ready to kill someone?    

    

Kill who?    

    

Obviously, just killing a maid was not considered a "disaster."    

    

Could it be that he wanted to kill him?!    

    

In other words, this fellow had the ability to retreat unharmed even if he killed him?    

    

But since he had such an ability, why did he still want some sort of guide?    

    

Isn't it better to obtain an imperial edict from the capital than anything else?    

    

When General Wan thought of this, he was shocked by his own idea!    

    

That's right, why did it have to be so troublesome?    

    

Why is it so troublesome for the young master of an extremely high status family to do such a thing?    

    

It would be fine if he took the imperial edict from a big shot in the capital or came directly to look for me.    

    

Why did he have to find his wife first, then contact him through her?    

    

Wasn't he just finding trouble for no reason and causing trouble for a simple matter?    

    

So, he wasn't actually a member of a large family?    

    

But that was also impossible!    

    

Apart from those few families at the top of the world, who else had such spirit, wealth, and temper?    

    

There was a saying that was very well said.    

    

One. A person's temper would determine a person's height.    

    

It meant that it was very difficult for someone with a bad temper to climb to a high position.    

    

But in fact, it was the other way around.    

    

One. What if the height of a person determined his temper? That seemed to be right!    

    

People with high positions usually had bad tempers.    

    

Even in the outside world, when they were facing outsiders, they would appear amiable or gentle.    

    

However, in reality, each and every one of them was a character that could be easily provoked!    

    

Self-restraint?    

    

That was for outsiders to see.    

    

If he really went to his own land, just a single look would be enough to kill!    

    

Therefore, no matter how he thought about it, Xiao Yun was still a super big young master.    

    

But there was still something that he couldn't figure out.    

    

What exactly was going on?    

    

He thought of a possibility...    

    

It was what Xiao Yun had said earlier.    

    

This was the first time he had come out to do business!    

    

Was this his first mission?    

    

Then what was the purpose of letting his son carry out a mission? What was the most important thing?    

    

Of course, it was training and training!    

    

In other words, this young master's family probably didn't give him enough resources to allow him to explore the outside world by himself.    

    

With this thought, everything suddenly became clear.    

    

He took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Yun's expression. His expression became more and more friendly.    

    

"I am Wan Fushun. Greetings, young master."    

    

This was General Wan's home.    

    

At this moment, Xiao Yun was sitting there.    

    

General Wan, on the other hand, was standing there.    

    

He was still standing in front of him, cupping his hands.    

    

In the eyes of outsiders, this was simply unbelievable.    

    

They would even begin to doubt their own eyesight.    

    

Xiao Yun seemed to have realized something as well.    

    

He stood up and cupped his fists.    

    

He looked clumsy.    

    

However, this action caused the corners of General Wan's mouth to raise a little.    

    

"I really don't know. After passing a checkpoint, I still have to line up, wait, and check. Luckily, I have someone to guide me. Otherwise, I don't know how long this boring journey will take."    

    

Xiao Yun twitched his mouth and started to complain.    

    

General Wan hurriedly said, "Don't worry. Later, I will give you an exception and you will be able to pass this checkpoint."    

    

"Is that true?"    

    

"Of course."    

    

... "That is quite simple."    

    

"[This...] For others, this isn't simple."    

    

General Wan smiled bitterly in his heart.    

    

Isn't this because this young master of yours is really too rich?    

    

What's so difficult about others in front of you?    

    

Xiao Yun was extremely happy.    

    

He took out the small bag containing the gold notes.    

    

He opened it.    

    

Not a single point.    

    

Just as General Wan thought he could get more money...    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly flicked his wrist.    

    

The gold bills in his bag were all scattered on the ground.    

    

He was stunned for a moment and frowned as he looked at the gold bills on the ground.    

    

However, he did not have any intention of bending over and picking them up.    

    

Instead, he wrapped the small bag up again and stuffed it back into his chest.    

    

Then, he returned to his previous position and sat down.    

    

He wanted to continue drinking tea but found nothing.    

    

Only then did he remember that he had already smashed the teacup.    

    

Hostler's cousin was really quick-witted.    

    

A cup of tea was passed to Xiao Yun's hand just in time.    

    

There were only tea leaves inside, and there was no tea stalk.    

    

It was obvious that he had been carefully selected just now.    

    

Xiao Yun blew away the fine powder on the tea and took a sip.    

    

He no longer looked at the others and just sat there, as if he was lost in thought.    

    

In other people's eyes, it was like there was no one else!    

    

Very arrogant.    

    

General Wan frowned.    

    

He had no idea what Xiao Yun was doing.    

    

He looked at him, then at the golden notes on the floor.    

    

He was also stunned on the spot.    

    

"Eh? I understand now!"    

0

    

Madam suddenly exclaimed.    

    

She hurriedly walked forward and praised, "I understand now. Five hundred years ago, when the Martial Emperor was in power, he wanted to reward two useless officials, but the officials stopped him. The Martial Emperor directly threw the reward on the ground and ignored it. The two stupid officials reacted the fastest and picked up the treasures. They turned around and left. The others asked curiously, and only then did the two of them explain. The treasures were thrown by the Martial Monarch, and became ownerless. Whoever found it, it would belong to the person. Therefore, it was not a reward at all. It was a good thing that was picked up by luck! From then on, in the decades that followed, our Sun Moon Country has been popular with this kind of gift method. With this method, to commemorate the generosity of the Martial Emperor. This... This is simply the style of an ancient sage!"
