We are ascending to the heavens!!
At the start, the emperor had been able to obediently sit in the flying boat, but as the flying boat slowly ascended into the sky, he could no longer remain seated. He stood up and walked to the window with his hands clasped behind his back. He looked out at the blue sky, the sea of white clouds, and the boundless earth.
All of this was our world!!
At this moment, the emperor was filled with lofty sentiments and wanted nothing more than to recite a poem to express his ambition. It was fortunate that he remembered that he was the emperor and that he had a group of guards and ministers behind him that he did not lose his composure.
"Minister Gu, this item is very good! This item is very good! "
Walking on the soft carpet, the emperor nodded in satisfaction as he looked out the window.
"We have decided that this item must be brought into the capital! It's useless no matter who objects! Oh, right, Minister Gu, who was it that objected to this item entering the capital?! "
The emperor had already made up his mind to make things difficult for that bastard. What was the meaning of this, refusing to give such a good item to His Majesty? Just what sort of intentions were these?! If we had this, would We have needed to travel all the way here on a flying boat?!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was … Prime Minister Liang."
"Hmph!"
The emperor's face darkened. In truth, he was well aware of Prime Minister Liang's influence in the court, but the emperor had never imagined that Prime Minister Liang would be so bold as to even dare to obstruct his item.
"Prime Minister Liang … In consideration of the fact that he is a veteran of three Emperors, We will not bicker with him, but this is too much! When We return, We will definitely ask him about it! "
The emperor was clearly not so angry because the item he had gifted to him had been obstructed. Rather, after personally taking the flying boat, he had quickly realized that it was of great use to the front lines. Just by riding on this flying boat, one could see the entire battlefield at a glance. Any plan or reaction of the enemy would not be able to escape the eyes of the general, and this was even more convenient for transporting people. He had just heard from Gu Zong that this flying boat could transport four to five hundred people at most and almost two ships of supplies.
It had to be said that before soldiers and horses moved, provisions and fodder came first. With this item, whether it was soldiers, horses, or provisions, the front lines would be the best choice. It could be said to be beneficial to the country and its people.
However, Liang Xiangguo actually refused to hand it over just because he suspected that it was created by a demon. This was tantamount to treason! If it weren't for the fact that the other party was an elder of three dynasties and had many students, if it were any other official, the emperor would have ordered for him to be dragged out and beheaded!
Thump thump …
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Upon hearing the knock, the Emperor coughed and hurriedly composed himself before returning to his seat. Gu Zong glanced at the Emperor before speaking.
"Come in."
Then, the door opened, and a young girl with a smile pushed a small cart in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the airship. May I know what you need? We will provide all kinds of Miaojiang beverages, snacks, and food for VIPs free of charge … "
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the Emperor's curiosity was piqued. Ever since he had boarded the flying ship, everything he had seen in the Imperial Palace was something he had never seen before. Could it be that there was something to this food?
"What do you have?"
"Beverages include cola, fruit juice, and plain water. Snacks include our Miaojiang's specialty sweet cakes and fruits of the four seasons."
"Oh? There's no alcohol? "
Hearing this, the Emperor was a little surprised, while the young girl smiled and shook her head.
"Sorry, alcohol is strictly prohibited on the airship, and guests are not allowed to bring alcohol."
"There are so many rules …"
Hearing this, the Emperor was somewhat unhappy. Although he did not like to drink, he would still drink a little. The young girl lowered her head again.
"I'm very sorry. Some guests will cause trouble after drinking, and the airship is in the sky. For the sake of our guests' safety, we do not recommend our guests to take the airship after drinking. If an accident happens, it will be difficult to deal with. "
"Hmm, that makes sense."
The Emperor was not stubborn. After thinking about it carefully, he understood that what the young girl said did make sense. After all, the airship flew in the sky, just like a ship sailing in the vast sea. If someone drank too much and went crazy, they would not even have a place to run.
"Then … do you have any recommendations?"
"If it's your first time taking the airship, I recommend you to try cola."
As she spoke, the young girl picked up a strange glass bottle from the small wooden cart. Not to mention its strange appearance, the most important thing was that the water inside was … black?!
"Wait, what's this?"
The Emperor's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the water in the glass bottle.
"Is this some kind of medicinal soup?"
"This is our Miaojiang's latest cola. You can also treat it as a sour plum soup or something to quench your thirst. The taste varies from person to person, but it won't be harmful."
"Hmm, then give each of us a bottle of cola."
Although the Emperor was also very interested in fruit juice, the strange black drink still piqued his interest.
"Give us some of those snacks and desserts too."
"Yes, Sir."
Hearing the Emperor's answer, the young girl nodded. She took out desserts and snacks from the cart and placed them on the table. The Emperor sized up the young lady before him with interest and asked.
"Judging from your posture, you don't look like an ordinary girl. Are you from a rich family? Where were you born? What's your name? "
It was no wonder the Emperor asked this question. The young girl's words and actions were very appropriate and graceful. She looked like she had received a good education. A girl like her was definitely not raised by an ordinary family. In the Emperor's opinion, she was most likely a girl from a rich official's family.
But a girl like her wouldn't normally show her face in public for such a job.
However, the girl shook her head in response to the Emperor's question.
"In reply to your question, I'm not a human. I'm a 500-year-old spirit fox that became a spirit. I was instructed by the immortal to come here to work."
"Oh?"
Hearing this answer, the Emperor was even more surprised. He had never seen someone who dared to call herself a monster in front of him.
"You're … a monster? But I … I don't look any different from an ordinary girl. "
The Emperor was still a little skeptical about the young girl's answer. After all, the young girl looked no different from an ordinary girl. She didn't look like a monster in his impression either. After all, in the hearts of ordinary people, monsters were all terrifying creatures with green faces and fangs. How could there be such a beautiful monster?
This time, the young girl didn't say anything else. She just smiled. Then, the Emperor saw a pair of big furry ears suddenly pop out from the young girl's head. Behind her, a big white tail appeared out of nowhere and kept swaying.
Seeing this scene, the Emperor stood up in surprise. The guards beside him also grabbed the hilts of their swords in fright.
"I'm very sorry to have startled you."
Seeing this scene, the young girl bowed again. Then, the ears on her head and the tail behind her went back with a swoosh.
"No, it's nothing. I … I just didn't expect you to really be a monster."
The Emperor became more and more interested.
"Come, why don't we have a good chat? It just so happens that I have something to ask you. "
The young girl didn't refuse the Emperor's invitation.
"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
