Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

At this moment, a middle-aged scholar beside Hua Yunhong stepped forward and rescued him.

"My apologies, Your Majesty. Our Highness has traveled a long way and is feeling unwell. Could you please find a place to rest first?"

He is one of Hua Yunhong's staff, named Mei Youcai.

Qin Ming got some information about him from Liu Yueli.

Seeing that the other party was so angry that he couldn't speak, he didn't insist, but just smiled and nodded and said:

"Of course, but the Second Prince will be the heir to the throne in the future, so you must take good care of your health."

Hua Yunhong was obviously angry with Qin Ming.

He just responded in a sullen tone, and then remained silent for a long time.

Song Dingsheng walked up to Qin Ming, exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Mei Youcai, and then led them into the palace.

Liu Yueli also arranged dozens of secret guards to keep a close watch along the way.

It was obvious that they were not prepared to treat them as distinguished guests.

It is no exaggeration to say that the treatment these envoys from the Shenmu Kingdom received when they came to Daqian was even worse than that received by the people from the Nanman tribes.

"It's simply too much!"

Hua Yunhong, who had seen many ups and downs, naturally saw Qin Ming's attitude early on.

As soon as he sat down in his residence in the palace, he slammed the table with anger on his face.

"Your Highness, Qin Ming is simply inexperienced. If we were to show him the strength of our Shenmu Kingdom, he wouldn't be so arrogant!"

The middle-aged scholar Mei Youcai hurried forward to comfort him.

The people of the Shenmu Kingdom are very confident in their mechanical skills.

They are also a kingdom whose main goal is to develop technology.

The national strength is much stronger than the surrounding dynasties.

It is precisely because of this that they have developed the habit of being arrogant over the years.

Even though he witnessed many of Qin Ming's methods and achievements along the way.

But in the eyes of Mei Youcai and Hua Yunhong, it still means nothing.

After all, the idea that the Shenmu Dynasty is the best in the world has long been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Everyone has thought so since childhood.

"Be careful. When we came here today, Qin Ming arranged a few spies."

Although he was very angry, Hua Yunhong still noticed Qin Ming's actions and spoke up to remind Mei Youcai.

He didn't want to be under Qin Ming's surveillance all the time.

"Don't worry, I've put my ears in the next few rooms. If you have any problems, you can notify them directly."

Mei Youcai nodded and took out several round wooden cups with holes on the bottom.

Then he took a thick cotton thread and passed it through the bottom of the wooden cup.

Then use a wooden cup to connect the ends.

One cup was taken to the next room, and the other was left in the room.

"Everything is arranged."

After doing all this, he hurried to Hua Yunhong.

Hua Yunhong picked up the cup and whispered to the surrounding rooms:

"Pay attention to the surroundings and investigate the location of the prison in the palace to see if you can rescue Urida."

"Yes!"

Everyone was just about to take action.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from the young eunuch in the distance.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Qin Ming seemed to have calculated correctly that they would definitely take action after entering the palace.

As soon as everyone settled down, he walked over and communicated with them.

Seeing Qin Ming, who was already superior to him when they first met, Hua Yunhong's face suddenly became a little unhappy, and he said without disguising:

"Your Majesty of Daqian, why are you here again?"

"Nothing, I just came to see you and prepare some food."

"No need, I'll ask them to go out of the palace and buy some later."

Knowing that Qin Ming looked down on him, and since both parties disliked each other, Hua Yunhong naturally didn't want to put his face in someone's cold butt.

He was also very cautious and unwilling to eat in the palace.

It would be bad if Qin Ming poisoned me.

As he spoke, he picked up the wooden cup in front of him and shouted into it:

"You guys, go out and buy some food."

"Yes!"

Soon, a responding sound came from the wooden cup, and the guards behind Qin Ming were all amazed.

Only Qin Ming couldn't help laughing.

As a modern man, he knew very well what Hua Yunhong was holding in his hand.

Isn’t this just a homemade telephone?

The technical content is not very high, but it is almost non-existent.

It can be done with two talking barrels and a cotton thread, but in the eyes of Hua Yunhong and others, it has become advanced technology.

The other party actually used this thing in front of him.

Is he deliberately trying to show off the technology of the Shenmu Kingdom?

If that's the case, then it's a bit of an exaggeration.

Qin Ming forced himself to suppress the smile on his face and prepared to please the other party once.

So he made the same surprised expression as the people around him and asked Hua Yunhong curiously:

"May I ask what this is?"

Seeing Qin Ming's naive look, Hua Yunhong and Mei Youcai looked at each other, and both of them were secretly delighted in their hearts.

The technology of the Shenmu Kingdom is the most impactful to these country bumpkins who have never seen the world.

Many small countries are willing to surrender just because they see their technology.

Thinking of this, even Hua Yunhong, who had just been targeted by Qin Ming, felt a little better.

He even took the initiative to introduce himself to Qin Ming.

"It's called a wall-penetrating ear. With it, you can talk to people in another room. We've tested its effective range, and under ideal conditions, it can even reach several hundred feet!"

"so smart?"

Qin Ming immediately clapped his hands and let them feel proud first.

Hua Yunhong and Mei Youcai really benefited from it.

Although he was very disdainful in his heart, he had to pretend to be generous in imparting his skills on the surface!

But suddenly, Qin Ming sighed.

"Although this technology is good, it is a bit regrettable."

"What's so regrettable?"

Hua Yunhong and Mei Youcai, who had always believed that the Shenmu Kingdom was the best in the world, immediately frowned when they heard this.

They never doubted their skills.

If he felt that the technology had flaws, it was only because Qin Ming's understanding of their technology was not comprehensive enough.

Qin Ming smiled shyly, then pointed at the cotton threads and said:

"This transmission distance is limited. If it were used on the battlefield, it would likely cause a lot of trouble in the process of transmitting intelligence. Do you have a solution?"

Hearing this, Hua Yunhong became even more excited and immediately showed off:

"Of course, we will bury some pipes underground. The outer walls of these pipes are very thick, which can help us isolate other sounds. If there is intelligence, we will transmit it inside these pipes."

"Oh? Won't there be any mistakes when transmitting over such a long distance?"

Qin Ming still looked curious and winked at Chang Baishan.

Chang Baishan had been almost unable to hold back his laughter, and when he saw Qin Ming's actions, he immediately understood what he meant.

He turned around and went outside to fiddle with the telegraph...
