C3596 universal kowtow (1/2)
The smile on Xiao Letian's face froze, he felt a strange atmosphere around him, as though there was something in the darkness that had suddenly appeared.
He knew very well that this was the belief that the imperial power had quietly surrounded him for thousands of years. This was the belief of every single Chinese.
Xiao Hexin's face turned pale. He immediately asked the officials who organized the welcoming ceremony about it, but the answer they got made him rub his hands even more.
”The Führer... It wasn't arranged by our officials. Please believe me, there really isn't any Chinese official who would arrange such a scene … It's all due to the spontaneous actions of the citizens! ”
Xiao Letian quickly raised his hand to stop him from talking. His meaning was very clear, he would talk about this later!
With a forced smile on his face, Xiao Letian walked down the bridge and stepped on the soft red carpet under his feet. Somehow, Xiao Letian suddenly recalled the feeling when he was stepping on the battlefield full of corpses.
Why does it feel like I'm stepping on a red carpet made out of pure wool? Why does it feel like I'm stepping on the soft belly of an enemy corpse?
Shaking his head with all his might, only then did Xiao Letian forget about the brutal battle before.
Changing into the standard professional smile, revealing all eight snow-white teeth, Xiao Letian did not shake hands with Governor of England first, but instead directly extended his hand and supported a Chinese elder who was in his seventies.
”Ouch …” Ah, old sir, I can't take it, I can't take it... Kowtow to me! This is giving me a lifespan loss! ”
The old man had white hair and was wearing a black brocade robe. His legs were trembling so badly because of the support of Xiao Letian, ”No …” Dang De … Dang De … The leader is the Son of Heaven, the True Dragon.
”You are Zhu Yuanzhang, the one who chased away the Menghuang Tarantula. You are the Han Gao Zu who overthrew the Violent Qin Empire! It's a blessing for us to kowtow to you … ”
Xiao Letian frowned slightly, ”Old sir, don't say that. I am not a True Dragon, nor am I the Son of Heaven … I am also an ordinary person. If there are merits, it is all because of those hot-blooded soldiers. It is also because of the achievements of those builders who have been working day and night! ”
”Without a million Chinese citizens, what am I? He's just a poor scholar who doesn't even have enough to eat! ”
”Everyone get up! Get up! What did my Chinese Statute Book stipulate? Other than the great ceremony of honoring the heavens' ancestors, kneeling down and bowing has been completely abolished! ”
”The ancestors of heaven and earth and all the heroic elites of the past generations, we can kneel, even our family's parents and parents have to kneel …” As for others, they definitely cannot kneel! ”
”Especially the Chinese officials. Anyone who accepts the worship of a commoner has to remember it once … Fellow villagers, do you want the Chinese Grand Council to impeach me? Give me, Xiao Letian's memory... ”Hahaha …”
Xiao Letian's teasing attracted the laughter of all the people present. Only at this time did the soldiers of Expeditionary forces begin to pick up the people who were kneeling down one by one.
Governor of England was dumbfounded. When had he ever seen such a close relative of the military and the people? He had worked in Asia for so many years, so he was very clear about these feudal and ancient countries.
In these nations, especially with the Great Qing as the leader, the citizens were afraid of the soldiers. As the saying went, if a soldier passed through, it would be like water passing through the bones, and the army would be like a merciless flood that would rush over and plunder all the property of the citizens.
The soldier couldn't dodge in time, how could there be such an intimate scene!
