Chapter 570 Slap in the face
After hearing this, Emperor Tang asked:
"Then how much do you think you should withdraw?"
"At least ten feet."
Lin Xiaofan answered truthfully.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty frowned. He was now ten feet away. If he retreated another ten feet, he might not even be able to see clearly the appearance of Lei Zhenzi. How could he still see the power of that weapon?
There were rumors that it could move mountains and reclaim seas, but he didn't believe in God and thought that was an exaggeration. Xiao Tiansheng also described it yesterday, but the battlefield situation was urgent at that time, and the other party might not be able to see it clearly. In short, he didn't want to believe in such weapons.
"Messenger Daqian, you are exaggerating too much. If you step back ten feet, you will not be able to see clearly."
"As an envoy, you don't have to pretend to be a ghost, or you won't have much power later and make people laugh."
Dongfang Yun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Wei Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, spoke one after another.
Dongfang Yun is a member of the Dongfang family and has nothing to do with Lin Xiaofan. Wei Yuan is Dongfang Yun's immediate boss, and he is willing to help Dongfang Yun and win people's hearts.
They had never found a chance to speak before, but now that they saw the emperor frowning, they all started to speak instead.
"Then if something happens, will you be responsible?"
Lin Xiaofan also heard the thorniness in a few people's words and asked rhetorically.
Upon hearing this, they suddenly became silent. If he agrees, the emperor has three advantages and two disadvantages, then not only his life will be in danger, but the three clans will also not be able to save it.
But just being criticized by Lin Xiaofan made them feel uncomfortable, so they changed the topic:
"Messenger Daqian, it's winter right now and the cold wind is howling. It's inappropriate for you to ask the emperor to move outside the palace. It takes so long to prepare. Could it be that you want to frame the emperor?"
Lin Xiaofan naturally would not accept such a big hat. Just when he was about to refute, Xiao Tiansheng spoke first:
"Brother Lin was so eager to present the treasure that he asked the emperor to move outside the palace. How come you have framed the emperor? I think you want to sow discord between Da Qian and Da Tang."
"Your Majesty, I think about your dragon body and have no intention of harming the relationship between the two countries."
Dongfang Yun bowed and saluted, then looked at Xiao Tiansheng and sneered:
"General Xiao, you are always talking to the envoy of Daqian. Could it be that..."
He stopped mid-sentence, but anyone could hear the implication.
"I'm just telling the truth, so why am I going to be the envoy of Daqian? Could it be that I'm not even telling the truth?"
The two sides started arguing as they talked.
At first there were only Xiao Tiansheng, Dongfang Yun and others, but later more and more civilian officials and military generals entered the venue.
Lin Xiaofan touched his nose and felt a little guilty. He didn't expect that his casual words would have such a big impact.
He looked up at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He couldn't see his expression, but he obviously had no intention of stopping him. It looked like... watching a show.
After a long time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty frowned slightly, and the eunuch on the side quickly reacted, and a sharp voice sounded:
"quiet!"
Everyone seemed to have found a step and all stopped arguing.
The military generals were already unable to compete with the civil servants, and they were already showing signs of decline. Most civil servants are weak and if they continue to make such noise, they will freeze to death here.
"Step back five feet."
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty spoke, but Lin Xiaofan no longer insisted.
Everyone retreated back, and many palace guards came in to form a circle to prevent the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the officials from being injured by weapons later.
Lin Xiaofan took the Lei Zhenzi, lit it with the flint, and then ran outside quickly, leaping outside the circle surrounded by the guards.
Since the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was present, in line with the concept of caution, he set the lead to be very long. Looking from a distance, I could see a little spark moving.
"Your Majesty, ministers, please cover your ears."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Mysterious."
Dongfang Yun snorted coldly, and many civil servants also expressed disdain.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still looked calm and calm, with no expression on his face, but he stretched out his hands to cover his ears. Seeing this, all the officials had no choice but to do the same.
There was silence on the field. I don't know how long it had been, but everyone was getting a little impatient with the waiting. Dongfang Yun said:
"Messenger Daqian, General Xiao, is this the powerful weapon you said? With just a few sparks, I can destroy them with just one step. Your Majesty, these two people are exaggerating, and I hope they will be convicted of deceiving the emperor. !”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiaofan and Xiao Tiansheng proudly. What he didn't expect was that the two of them didn't panic at all. Instead, they looked indifferent and didn't even refute him.
This actually made him feel a little guilty.
The next moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded from nearby. Dongfang Yun happened to make a salute gesture and did not cover his ears. He only felt that his eardrum was hit hard.
Everyone saw sparks scattered, and countless small iron pieces hit the shield, making a clanging sound. A shock wave came, and several elderly ministers took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the palace guards were not vegetarians, and they did not lose their formation in the face of the impact.
After the shock wave passed, a large crater was left on the ground, with sparks everywhere, but most people were fine.
Only Dongfang Yun, whose old face was full of fear at this time, patted his ears from time to time and said to the ministers around him:
"Can you hear me? Why can't I hear anything."
This funny look made everyone want to laugh, but he deserved it. He had to make a few sarcastic remarks when he clearly should have covered his ears.
After a while, his ears finally stopped ringing and he could barely hear something, and he breathed a sigh of relief. With a look of joy on his face, he said to his good boss, Wei Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry:
"I can hear it! I..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt that Wei Yuan was looking at him as if he were a fool. Look at the people around you, the same is true.
He looked at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty with some fear, his face was still expressionless, but there seemed to be a black line on his face.
In front of the Daqian envoy, his behavior just now was indeed inappropriate.
"This... Minister of Industry, how are you? Are you injured?"
Lin Xiaofan suddenly took a few steps forward and looked at Dongfang Yun with a panicked face, as if he was worried about the other party's injury.
"Oh, this is all my fault. When you said that you could crush my Lei Zhenzi with one kick, I thought you were superb in martial arts and not afraid of Lei Zhenzi, so I didn't remind you to cover your ears."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yun's mouth twitched. He did say so before that.
But at that time, Lei Zhenzi kept throwing sparks, and it must be said that he was quite tenacious and could not be extinguished no matter how the cold wind blew. He thought that this was just the power, so he spoke arrogantly.
Who would have thought that this thing could really crack mountains and crack rocks!
For a moment, even though he was as thick-skinned as a city wall, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he apologized first:
"Your Majesty, I was rude just now. I deserve death for my crime. I hope your Majesty will punish you!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed several times.
"Deduction of one month's salary."
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said, "Although Dongfang Yun was rude, it was not a big mistake. If he used this to treat serious crimes, it would be difficult to convince the public."
However, this person is extremely stupid and cannot be kept. In the future, he can find any reason to destroy him. There are still many people who want to take the position of Minister of Industry.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
Dongfang Yun said hurriedly.
