Li Shi Min led the army back to the capital.
Meanwhile, Zhangsun Shunde continued to lead the 300 guards towards Scumbag City.
The ministers looked at Zhangsun Shunde enviously, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy.
They had no choice. Since Li Shi Min had spoken, it was useless for them to struggle.
......
Zhangsun Shunde rushed to Slag City excitedly, and Meng Wei still had the female Charm Guardian bring him to his mansion.
However, this time, he could only serve them tea.
Although it was only a simple tea, it gave Zhangsun Shunde a different feeling.
He had never experienced the faint fragrance of tea before.
It was true that the Great Tang also had tea, but it was boiled tea with ginger, onions, garlic, mutton oil, and other warming ingredients.
Although this tea had top-notch health effects, the taste was too bad. It was like drinking a bowl of meat soup, and there was a greasy taste in his mouth.
It was not as fragrant as this tea.
Zhangsun Shunde immediately made a small plan, thinking that if he could send me to Zhejiang tea industry before leaving, then this trip would not be in vain.
After all, this kind of inferior craftsmanship was not available in the Great Tang.
"Not only the Great General, what is this so-called trip?”
Meng Wei said to Zhangsun Shunde as he sipped his tea.
The tea set they were drinking was a glass tea set that Meng Wei had purchased from the system store. Although it looked extremely luxurious, it only cost him 10 points.
Ever since Zhangsun Shunde held this glass teacup in his hand, he could not bear to part with it. This crystal-like thing was sparkling and translucent, pleasing to the eye.
However, in his mind, this kind of thing must be expensive.
"Oh right, I almost forgot. This time, I came with an imperial edict.”
Zhangsun Shunde said with a smile.
Then, he stood up and took out the imperial edict, preparing to read it.
However, he was still sitting on the main seat casually, sipping his tea, completely disregarding the imperial edict.
"Cough cough, City Lord Meng, seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty. You need to be respectful.”
Zhangsun Shunde reminded.
Meng Wei smiled and said,"If you don't want to read it, then take it back."”
This sentence made Zhangsun Shunde choke, and he was instantly speechless.
Helplessly, this city could not even be taken down by the Tibetan army of 200,000. Of course, they had the right to be arrogant.
He could only bite the bullet and read it.
" Servant: Meng Wei, the City Lord of Zha Zha City, has made great contributions in resisting the Tubo invasion. He is hereby conferred the title of Governor of Zha Zha City. He is also conferred the title of Third Grade General of Nanhuai, with a salary of 300 stones. Meng Wei is to be conferred the title in Chang 'an three days later. There must be no mistakes! Respect this!"
"Lord Meng, accept the decree!"
Zhangsun Shunde closed the imperial edict and handed it to Meng Wei.
Meng Wei gave him a look, and Chun Tian He immediately went over to borrow the imperial edict and placed it on Meng Wei's table.
Meng Wei's living room was designed in the style of the Great Tang. There were low tables on both sides of the main seat, and a cushion was placed in front of the main seat. The guests would kneel on it.
Seeing Meng Wei accept the edict in such a manner, Zhangsun Shunde was very angry. However, when he thought about how Li Shimin was trying to win Meng Wei over with a policy of appeasement, not to break off relations with him, Zhangsun Shunde suppressed his unhappiness.
"Lord Meng, will you accept the title?" he asked tentatively.”
The only thing he was worried about was Meng Wei's disdain to accept the title. If he did, no matter how good his plan was, he would not be able to start.
" I'm from the Great Tang," said Meng Wei." I consider myself a citizen of the Great Tang. I'll naturally go when His Majesty orders it. However, I'll decide when and when to go."”
"Lord Meng, don't blame me for not reminding you that disobeying the imperial edict is disrespectful!”
Zhangsun Shunde said in a threatening tone.
Meng Wei sneered and said casually,"Haha, you've accused me of quite a few crimes, haven't you? What is there to be afraid of when you want to add a crime? It doesn't matter if I'm guilty of one or two crimes."
Zhangsun Shunde smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. He sat down again and drank his tea.
Meng Wei agreeing to go to Chang 'an was already a good thing. What he feared the most was a direct rejection.
The current outcome was not very good, but it was not the worst either.
Furthermore, Zhangsun Shunde still hoped to be bestowed with some instant noodles, ham sausages, and other items. These things were really in high demand now.
Helplessly, Meng Wei just didn't say anything and continued drinking his tea, as if he had completely forgotten about Zhangsun Shunde's existence.
"Lord Meng, His Majesty and the ministers all liked the instant noodles and Spicy Strips from last time.”
Zhangsun Shunde said with a smile.
Meng Wei nodded and said,"General Zhangsun, if there's nothing else, please leave.”
Zhangsun Shunde was very shocked. He did not expect Meng Wei to directly ask him to leave.
He had wanted to deliberately lead the conversation back to the gift he had given him last time, and then hint at Meng Wei to give him more. He hadn't expected Meng Wei to not respond at all.
"Uh…"
"Sir Meng, do you still have the instant noodles, coke, ham, and other things that we had last time? I wonder if I can buy some?”
