This time the dinner lasted for five hours.
A full five hours.
Of course, no one will spend five hours to have a meal, but taking turns to chat with Li Zhen, chat with Xun Shifei, and then each look for the emperors of other countries to chat, this is the theme.
Standing for five hours is too much for even an iron man to bear.
Xun Shifei had sweat on his forehead, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart.
Not to mention Li Zhen, who has always been in poor health, turned pale. There is no chance to sit, because everyone comes standing, and others cannot stand. You sit, right
And it is not suitable to set up a sofa for both parties to sit and chat, then there will be no relaxing atmosphere like a dinner party. Only standing.
I have to stand for five hours and have to use convoluted words to chat with others. While not making mistakes, I also have to analyze the subtext of other people's words word for word. It consumes physical strength and even more mentally.
Finally chatting with all the emperors, Li Zhen and Xun Shifei looked at each other, and they both saw the bitter smile in each other's eyes.
Xun Shifei whispered: "Junior, can your body bear it?"
Li Zhen shook his head: "I can't stand it anymore."
"Me too, I can't hold on any longer. It's already two o'clock in the morning."
"Why don't you clean it up, make a summary, and disperse?"
Xun Shifei nodded: "I think so too." As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead calmly.
Li Zhen cleared his throat and was about to speak at the end of the meeting.
At this time, the emperor of the White Robe Kingdom didn't know whether he was drunk or chatting, and suddenly shouted: "I heard that a new type of transportation has appeared in New Kyushu, called a train. I heard from our country's envoy , that’s really top-notch luxury.”
As soon as this statement came out, it was translated by a group of translators.
Suddenly the venue was filled with noisy cheers.
"I heard that too."
"I have already seen it when I was in the sky, the long special steel track. And the large series of iron cars one by one. To be honest, I have been thinking about it."
"There are still many days to go. If you have time, don't miss this test ride experience."
"Oh, but I'm worried about this safety issue. I brought a lot of people with me when I came here, and I heard that one carriage can't fit in all the passengers."
"Safety is indeed an issue. This time we are here to talk about business. It seems we will have to wait until we have the opportunity next time."
"Oh, what a shame."
“…”
Hearing the discussion, Li Zhen and Xun Shifei, who were about to speak, looked at each other and smiled bitterly again.
Li Zhen sighed deeply, dragged his tired body, and drank the remaining wine in the glass.
He looked up again, with his signature sunny smile on his face again, and the tired look on his face was no longer visible. There was no trace of fatigue at all.
Li Zhen cleared his throat and shouted angrily: "Everyone..."
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Zhen with a kind smile. Wait for him to speak.
Li Zhen said energetically: "That's right. I heard that everyone wants to experience New Kyushu's special means of transportation, the train. And we, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, and the New Kyushu Government also want to try to promote this new type of means of transportation. Go out. Solve the problem of transportation convenience in more countries. So, if you are interested, why not take advantage of tonight and let’s go to Quancheng County? "
As soon as this statement came out.
Many people became energetic.
"OK!"
"This is really great."
"If you want to experience it by yourself in batches, why not let's go together tonight. This will save some trouble and save some resources for the security forces of New Kyushu."
"The person who knows my heart is Dean Li."
"It's really great. I'm looking forward to it now."
"Then when are you going?"
"I've wanted to take the train for a long time."
“…”
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Xun Shifei and Li Zhen showed deep exhaustion in their eyes, but Li Zhen still smiled enthusiastically: "Then everyone, let's get ready."
Xun Shifei also said: "That's right. All the staff, entourage, and security team will all take the carriage at the back. We will take the translators and take the first-class carriage. In this way, we can all fit in."
"Not bad."
"That's how it should be."
"That's great, do you want to leave now?"
“…”
Li Zhen was about to cry. He really wanted to say bad words. Why did these grandchildren have so much energy? After working hard for so long, are you not tired at all? Foreigners are not used to sleeping at night
well.
Xun Shifei's mouth turned bitter as he thought about having to face all kinds of questions on the train later, having to be a guide along the way, and having to constantly explain to others. Both legs are weak. It seems that I won't be able to sleep today.
But seeing the eagerness of the emperors of various countries to give it a try, they could only grit their teeth and hold on. I was secretly worried that I couldn't hold it anymore. Can a junior like me, who is thin and has always been in poor health, be able to resist
From a human perspective, Xun Shifei wanted to say something, otherwise Li Zhen would not go.
But he also knew that both he and Li Zhen had to go. No one can go, but he and Li Zhen must not be absent. As long as these emperors are around, both of them are indispensable.
Xun Shifei cleared his throat: "That... Secretary Min."
A beautiful woman suppressed the feeling of yawning and walked up to Xun Shifei with a sullen face: "The Emperor."
"Go and make arrangements, um... adjust a train and board the train at Dafengtai in about forty minutes. If there are other trains, please stop it first."
"Yes, Emperor."
"Also. Send a report to the Quancheng County Internal Guard. Prepare for security."
"Yes, Emperor."
Xun Shifei thought for a while and felt that this was still not safe enough. He added: "Send a report to all the stations along the railway station. Security forces should be posted and controlled at each station and along the railway to prevent accidents on the way. Also, send a report to the Eastern Air Force. Send a telegram and send fifty airships to follow from the sky to complete reconnaissance and deal with emergency matters. In addition, send ten Peng-style patrols to ensure safety."
"Yes, Emperor."
Secretary Min wrote down all the orders.
The emperor of one country smiled bitterly and said: 'We are just experiencing the train. There is no need to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this. It almost alarmed the military power of the entire East Continent, and also alarmed the air force. '
Xun Shifei proudly raised his chest: "No, no. This is just Dongzhou's security force, and the military force will not be used internally. Hahaha."
In one sentence, the person who said it was frightened. The atmosphere in the venue was quite silent. And this was Xun Shifei's deliberate attempt to show off his national strength.
Immediately afterwards, Xun Shifei said: "The reason why we mobilize so many troops is because you are all our distinguished guests in New Kyushu. To be honest, I usually only take a guard group with me when I travel. But your lives are far more dangerous than I'm a lot more important. You can't be careless, let alone mobilize the security force, even if you mobilize the entire country's military force, you will not hesitate to do so."
A few words, a sap and a sweet date made everyone dizzy, and they actually felt complacent.
Laughter came.
The atmosphere relaxed again.
