Xie Daoxun looked at Zhao Hao, and a strange color appeared in his dark, gem-like eyes.
Immediately, he said softly, "Mr. Zhao is truly extraordinary. I did not expect you to welcome me in this way."
Zhao Hao laughed and said, "At the banquet last night, I saw that the Prime Minister was always serious, so I wanted to make a joke!"
"Your Excellency, Mr. Zhao Hao has prepared the best private room. Please follow me, Your Excellency."
Xie Daoxun nodded slightly and followed Zhao Hao upstairs.
Xie Daoxun asked softly, "Did Mr. Zhao guess that I was coming?"
Zhao Hao said casually: "Of course, isn't this certain? Right now, the most talked-about thing in the entire Imperial Capital is my cooking on the First Floor."
"Since you are new here, how can you not come and taste it?"
"And yesterday at the banquet, I even made a point of showing off in front of the Prime Minister."
"I think the Prime Minister will definitely come today."
"To be honest, I have been waiting for the whole morning, looking forward to the Prime Minister's arrival."
Entering the private room, Xie Daoxun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why does Mr. Zhao want me to come so much?"
Today, Xie Daoxun wore casual clothes, and after meeting him, he did not act like a prime minister.
He did not call himself prime minister either.
When addressing Zhao Hao, he called him "Prince".
They acted like friends.
But Zhao Hao didn't.
Zhao Hao grinned: "The reason is very simple, I have to open the first floor to other places."
"If we have the endorsement of the Prime Minister, wouldn't it be like a fish in water, and achieve twice the result with half the effort?"
Xie Daoxun asked, "Why did Master Zhao do this? It's definitely not for the sake of making money, right?"
Zhao Hao quickly said, "The Prime Minister is right. It's all because of money."
Zhao Hao said helplessly: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister may not know that I will be engaged to Princess Yongning in a little while."
"We'll probably get married next year."
"Think about it, Prime Minister. If I don't make more money, how can I support His Majesty the Grandmaster?"
"So, I can only set my sights on the restaurant."
"I'm forced to do nothing."
Zhao Hao clicked his lips.
Xie Daoxun nodded: "Indeed, after all, it is to marry a princess, so it must be different from others."
Zhao Hao said, "Yes, so after today, please let the Prime Minister know about this."
"Maybe in the future, I will open the First Floor in the capital of Wu State."
Xie Daoxun smiled softly and said, "This is something that I am looking forward to."
After a pause, she looked at Zhao Hao seriously and asked, "Mr. Zhao, you already know that our delegation came here for the Thunderbolt."
"And Mr. Zhao is the inventor of the thunder bomb."
"I have something I want to ask you, sir. Is that okay?"
Zhao Hao said directly: "Prime Minister, please feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know."
"Of course, but don't ask me how that thing is made."
As he spoke, Zhao Hao did not lean forward, and lowered his voice and said, "I haven't lived enough."
Xie Daoxun smiled again and said, "Of course not. I have never seen a thunderbolt before. I have only heard about its terrifying extent from hearsay."
"It is said that the thunderbolt has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."
"As long as one of them explodes, dozens of soldiers on the battlefield will be killed in an instant, and even blood and flesh will fly everywhere."
"To be honest, I never believed that there would be such a terrible killing weapon in this world."
"Mr. Zhao, could you help me clear up some of my doubts?"
Zhao Hao said: "So that's what happened. That's easy to explain. To say that a bomb can kill dozens of people is a bit exaggerated."
"If it can cause injury, it's still possible."
"Those with minor injuries still have some fighting power, but if they are seriously injured, they will have no fighting power at all."
Xie Daoxun's eyes flashed, and he immediately took a breath of cold air: "Really?"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Of course it's real. I invented it myself, so how could it be fake?"
Xie Daoxun lowered his head, seemingly pondering something.
After a long while, she looked at Zhao Hao with some embarrassment and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have an unreasonable request..."
Seeing this, Zhao Hao quickly raised his hand and interrupted, "No, please don't, Prime Minister, please don't say it out loud."
"I know that when someone says 'unwelcome request', it means they are definitely asking for something too much."
"And the request related to the thunder bomb is very excessive. You want me to die."
"We just met by chance and we don't have much of a relationship. So far, this is only the second time we've met."
"Let's just forget about the unreasonable request."
"What do you think?"
Hearing this, Xie Daoxun seemed not to be disappointed at all, and he immediately put away his pleading look.
He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao is right. It was I who was rude."
Zhao Hao snorted in his heart.
Are you rude?
You obviously did it on purpose.
I'd like to give it a try and see if I, my buddy, will agree to a request from a world-famous prime minister like you just because I'm young.
Even if you don't agree, you can still get a glimpse of your buddy's character and behavior from it.
Do you think my buddy doesn't know?
Soon, the prepared wine and food were served, and then Zhao Hao saw a very difficult to describe scene.
While talking and chatting, the lady was obviously very dignified and calm, but after picking up her chopsticks, she instantly showed an aura of sweeping away everything.
Zhao Hao was so scared that he was stunned.
At first, he thought the food was so delicious that the other party wanted to taste it all at once...
He soon discovered.
Not really.
This is clearly a habit.
It is not a habit that is formed in a day or two and is difficult to change.
It has the color of a long military career.
Sure enough, after realizing that Zhao Hao had not moved and was staring at him, Xie Daoxun swallowed the food in his mouth, straightened up a little and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Zhao."
"This is a habit I developed when I was still in Yuxianzhou."
"This was also ridiculed by my colleagues in Wu State."
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "What the Prime Minister has done in Yuxianzhou is admired by the world. It's just a military habit."
"In my opinion, not only is there nothing to laugh at, but it is actually an honor."
"I never thought that the Wu court would use this to make fun of the Prime Minister. They are so ignorant."
"Mr. Prime Minister, why don't we just do it together?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dagan is determined to make progress. With the talent of the Prime Minister, once you come to Dagan, you will definitely be valued more than the State of Wu."
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister will have the opportunity to show your skills."
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister may wish to consider this."
Xie Daoxun smiled and said, "I will seriously consider it."
Having said that, he continued to sweep away everything in his path.
