Chapter 137 is going crazy, buy it.
"Really? Just these... two black lumps?"
Lord Wei held the two black lumps in his hand in disbelief. He immediately waved to the soldiers outside, "Go and invite Deputy General Ma over."
"Yes, sir!" The soldier at the supermarket entrance immediately went outside and fetched a military officer. He was a typical rough-looking man with a deep voice, but his attitude was friendly. "What business does Lord Wei have summoned me for?"
Lord Wei handed him one of the walkie-talkies and explained the situation and his request. Gu Xixi then helped turn on both walkie-talkies.
Subsequently, Lord Wei and Deputy General Ma heard their own voices and the other's voices through the prize-matching machine.
It was as if another version of myself was parroting me, but louder and clearer.
Lord Wei:! ! !
Lieutenant General Ma: !!!
"Are there really people in the world who can hear and speak with a silver tongue?" Deputy General Ma silently loosened his grip on the walkie-talkie, afraid of breaking it.
"Deputy General Ma, do you think that having such weapons during marches and battles would make things twice as effective? I would like to trouble you to test it with me. Deputy General Ma, you can then hurry back to the Prince's camp from here, which is about 60 li away, just right."
Lord Wei quickly urged him on, and Deputy General Ma nodded and immediately went out with his walkie-talkie.
Less than a minute later, the people in the supermarket heard the sound of horses neighing and galloping away. When they looked outside, they saw that Vice General Ma had already ridden across the river.
The walkie-talkie in Lord Wei's hand crackled to life with Deputy General Ma's clear voice: "Lord Wei, can you hear me?"
[Deputy General Ma, I can hear you!] Lord Wei chuckled. He dared not imagine the shock the prince would feel when Deputy General Ma returned to the prince's tent with such a divine artifact.
How much more impressive it should be to him!
Time passed by, and Lord Wei and Deputy General Ma would ask each other a question every 100 meters they increased the distance. After half an hour, perhaps they were tired, so they decided to ask each other a question every kilometer.
When they reached the last three miles, they would ask a question, and Lord Wei would simply grunt in response, thus ending the conversation.
An hour later (at 2 PM), Gu Xixi got hungry; her stomach was growling. Shen Qingyan immediately turned around and went upstairs. "Xixi, I'll make something to eat. What would you like to eat?"
Lord Wei silently looked up: ?
Why not ask him if he doesn't deserve a bite of lunch?
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Shen Qingyan turned his head again and said, "Lord Wei, please join us for dinner."
"Very good, very good, then thank you very much, Lord Shen and Miss Gu." Lord Wei never thought of refusing, since Miss Gu has so many good things here, the food must be good too.
"Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes will be fine, Lord Wei?" Gu Xixi was still very considerate of Lord Wei's feelings, after all, he might be Shen Qingyan's colleague in the future, and having more friends meant having more options.
"In the current Great Huang Dynasty, food is scarce. Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes are already a very sumptuous meal. Miss, please don't be modest. I will shamelessly join you for a meal."
Lord Wei waved his hand, saying that he usually only eats one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
Shen Qingyan stopped talking, nodded, and went up to prepare. Lord Wei looked at Shen Qingyan's back, then smiled at Gu Xixi, "Lord Shen is more than just a good official."
"Lord Wei, Lord Wei, can you hear me?!" Deputy General Ma's voice was hoarse as he shouted from the other side, interrupting Lord Wei's words and startling him.
Lord Wei: This kid really knows how to pick his timing.
Gu Xixi sat at the cashier and was amused. She covered her mouth and laughed, pretending to look at the scenery outside.
"I can hear you, I can hear you. Where are you now?" Lord Wei immediately regained his composure. Judging from the time and Vice General Ma's pace, even if he stopped to talk to him along the way, he should have arrived by now.
[Haha, I've already arrived at the gate of the military camp. It feels like we were just talking yesterday. Please wait a moment, I'll go in and see the Prince now.]
Lieutenant General Ma laughed heartily, then jumped off his horse at the main gate of the military camp and handed the horse to a soldier standing nearby.
After he walked away, the soldiers on guard at the gate took the opportunity of changing shifts to approach and ask each other, "Who was Vice General Ma talking to just now?"
Then both of them shook their heads, their faces bearing the same thought: Deputy General Ma is probably going crazy!
Before Vice General Ma even reached the King of Zhen's tent, news of his "madness" reached inside. As soon as he entered, the King of Zhen put down the armor he was wiping and asked, "What are you muttering to yourself about again?"
"Your Highness, I am not talking to myself. I am talking to Lord Wei, who is far away at the Fa Da Cai Supermarket."
Deputy General Ma respectfully handed over the walkie-talkie with both hands and called out into it, "Lord Wei, please speak."
The King of Zhen was completely bewildered by his words. How could he, holding such a black box, be able to speak with Wei Ying, who was sixty miles away?
But the next second, Lord Wei's voice came clearly from the walkie-talkie in his hand, "This humble official greets Your Highness. Your Highness, this is Wei Ying. I am now..."
King of the Town: !!!
"Then buy a pair of all-seeing eyes and all-hearing ears and bring them back to the camp." Since Lord Wei wasn't the only one who could hear him on the other end of the walkie-talkie, the King of Zhen only said this much before falling silent.
Observing the situation, Deputy General Ma immediately went over to help turn off the walkie-talkie. "Your Highness, as long as you press here, the other side won't be able to hear us. Moreover, our military camp is only sixty li away from the Fa Da Cai Supermarket. That Miss Gu said that the maximum effective distance can be as long as a hundred li."
It stretches for hundreds of miles!!!
The King of Zhen was even more shocked. The transmission of military intelligence was a key factor in determining the victory of a battle. Others needed five hours to travel by fast horse, but they only needed to turn on a switch... the distance of a single sentence...
Haha, if we could buy such divine weapons, what battles would we be afraid of not winning?
"Go and escort Wei Ying back now. We'll make arrangements after we've seen the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear." The King of Zhen couldn't hide his excitement. After giving the order, he sat down and laughed.
Shen Qingyan had such a miraculous encounter, meeting such a reclusive master, yet he only thought about disaster relief and the well-being of the people, and they still wanted to kill him.
madness!
Extremely stupid!
Meanwhile, inside the Dahuangchao Fadacai Supermarket.
Lord Wei set up a small table and stools in the courtyard outside the gate, and Shen Qingyan brought down the food: a dish of braised pork trotters with soybeans, a dish of Dongpo pork, a dish of Mapo tofu, and a dish of tomato and egg.
The food was hot, fragrant, and delicious. Lord Wei had never seen such a meal before, and some of the ingredients were even unfamiliar to him. He immediately sat down and started eating as soon as Gu Xixi said a few polite words.
He tasted a bite of each dish, and then couldn't hide his surprise, "Miss Gu, the food here is so unique, it's really delicious."
He resisted the urge to continue eating heartily, and before the two had even touched their chopsticks, he darted around and changed the subject, "I wonder how much Miss Gu is asking for for her clairvoyance and clairaudience?"
