When Huhai sat down, Guo Peng and the Qin Emperor started talking about the same topic.
"It's different from our Central Plains. The West is a small country. A village can even become a king. A country with a population and territory comparable to a county is considered a big country.”
"If a City can be considered a Great Nation, then what kind of Nation is Great Qin?”
Huhai couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.
It was too funny!
There was actually such a ridiculous place in the world. A village was a country, and a county was a big country?
Wouldn't Great Qin be an invincible superpower?
Forgive his poor vocabulary for not knowing how to describe it.
"Back then, I once went to a place called Yelang. Because this country was the most powerful country in that area, the king was very conceited…" Guo Peng said with a smile.
He began to tell the story of his arrogance after he had changed it.
"At that time, the king pointed at the highest mountain in the Kingdom of Yelang and asked us,'You must have never seen such a high mountain, right? This is the tallest mountain in my Yelang Kingdom, and also the highest mountain in the world…At that time, we all held back our laughter. He couldn't just tell the king that the Yelang Kingdom was just like a county, right?”
After hearing Guo Peng's description, even Ying Zheng burst out laughing, mocking the ignorance of this king of a small country.
Guo Peng continued," After all, we're too far away. Those Westerners don't understand us at all. At most, some merchants can learn from the Hu that there's an extremely mysterious country in the distant East. But what does this country look like and how big is it? No one has been there before, and they have no way of knowing. They can only make some assumptions about us based on their own knowledge.”
"Right, I thought of a story that I heard in the west. The story was set in Great Qin, and of course, it was a Great Qin that the westerners had imagined.”
"Story? I love stories." Huhai clapped his hands happily.
"Since Hai 'er wants to hear it, why don't you tell me?”Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was actually very curious about what Great Qin looked like in the eyes of the westerners.
Hence, Guo Peng slowly told the story.
" In the far east, there was a country. This story happened in this very far country. A long, long time ago, there was a tailor called…"
Guo Peng started telling the story of Aladdin's Magic Lamp from One Thousand and One Nights.
The setting of this story was set in China. According to the setting, Aladdin was a Chinese, but he was just a Chinese imagined by the Arabs. Therefore, the naming of the characters and the customs of China in the story were actually the same as in the West.
The story of Aladdin's Magic Lamp was undoubtedly very attractive and very easy to immerse oneself in. It had been widely circulated around the world for so many years, and it was still enduring.
For example, Hu Hai.
As Guo Peng's story slowly got to the point, Huhai's eyes were filled with desire, and he could not help but fantasize in his heart.
If I can get the magic lamp…
Even a person like Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, could not help but wonder.
If they had the Magic Lamp, they could summon countless soldiers and rations in a minute, and Great Qin's Cavalry could sweep through the four universes as easily as taking something out of a pocket.
Of course, he knew that this was just a story. The magic lamp did not exist.
He could only follow Guo Peng's tone and find out what the protagonist, Aladdin, had done after obtaining the magic lamp.
When he heard that Aladdin's mother had taken some jewelry and shocked the emperor, he even wanted to marry off the princess.
The two of them were filled with disdain.
As expected of a small country, it had no knowledge at all.
A mere tailor's son wants to marry a princess?
Even a carriage full of jewels would be useless!
Although there were a lot of flaws, this story undoubtedly attracted them deeply. When the Feizhou mage ran out again and found that Aladdin was still alive and happy, wanting to take back the magic lamp, they also became nervous.
Very quickly, the ending was a happy ending.
Guo Peng did not follow the original ending and say that Aladdin later succeeded the throne as the emperor's son-in-law. After all, this was completely imaginary. It was not appropriate to say this in front of Qin Shihuang, so he directly changed it to Aladdin and the princess lived happily together and had many children.
Emperor Ying Zheng and Young Master Huhai were still not satisfied. Such a fantasy story was simply too interesting in this era where entertainment was scarce.
"Imperial Father, this magic lamp is really too good. I also want a magic lamp!”After listening to the story, Huhai acted like a child.
Ying Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only explain patiently,""Hai 'er, this is just a story. The magic lamp doesn't exist.”
Huhai was unhappy. He looked at Guo Peng and said,""Minister Guo, this story is so good. Is there another story like this? I want to hear one more."
"This, Young Master, I can't remember so much in a short period of time. Why don't I tell Young Master when I remember?”
At this moment, Guo Peng thought of the hundreds of millions of words of online novels he had saved on his phone.
Liking stories?
Of course, Guo Peng was not in a hurry to take them out. If he took out too many at once, Huhai would be tired of it, and it would lose its appeal to him.
Seeing that the sun had also gone south, Guo Peng found an excuse and left the Qin Palace under Huhai's reluctant gaze.
In Huhai's eyes, Minister Guo was good at telling stories and had a nice voice. He liked to stay with him.
Unfortunately, Guo Peng wanted to leave, so he couldn't say anything.
Sitting in the carriage, Guo Peng left Xianyang Palace and passed by the bustling streets.
Instead of going back to the mansion to eat, he parked the carriage in front of an inn in the most prosperous area of Xianyang City.
This inn was called The Inn.
