Chapter 236 Golden Mask, Zhao Family?

"By the way, Uncle, how do you know we are from the North?"

"I don't think I ever said I was from the north."

Princess Catalina and her maid were eating wontons when she suddenly remembered something. She curiously asked the stall owner why he was so sure that she was a northern barbarian.

"temperament."

"Although the people of the Northern Barbarians and other European countries all have blond hair and blue eyes, there is a clear difference in temperament between the Northern Barbarians and other European people."

“Look at that booth over there.”

"That mustache, he's obviously European at first glance."

"He smells like a landlord, and he's like a woman. He's obviously not experienced the world, but he's trying to act like he has."

"Eating a bun requires a knife and fork."

"I've lived for more than fifty years, and this is the first time I've seen such a strange thing."

"You northern barbarians are easy to tell apart."

"See those drunks in the corner of the restaurant?"

"I can tell at a glance that it's from you northern barbarians."

"The difference in temperament is so great, you don't have to guess."

The stall owner shook his head, looking speechless.

"Uh, well, a little bit."

Princess Catalina felt ashamed when she saw those drunkards from the northern barbarians.

Ugh.

I’m afraid they, the northern barbarians, will never be able to get rid of this label.

……

"Boss, a bowl of wontons, no cilantro."

Suddenly, a figure sat down at the table next to him.

It was a tall figure, wearing a white robe and a half mask that covered the upper half of his face, leaving only his mouth exposed. His specific appearance could not be seen, but his temperament showed that he was either rich or noble, and his figure was unrestrained, giving people the feeling that he was a handsome guy.

"Okay."

"Hey, golden mask, is the official a member of the Zhao family?"

When the old man saw Zhao Gongming’s mask, he immediately exclaimed.

This surprised Zhao Gongming a little.

Can you recognize his origin just by looking at a mask?

Isn’t this stall owner a bit too outrageous?
Amazingly well-informed.

"Official? How do you know I'm an official? And you think I'm from the Zhao family?"

Zhao Gongming lowered his voice and said.

"Hahaha, you are joking, sir. Anyone doing business in Chang'an knows that this golden mask is only worn by members of the Zhao family."

"That is the style that His Majesty once wore. It was made by the Zhao family and is one of a kind."

"In the entire Great Zhao Kingdom, only the Zhao family has this type of mask."

"Born in the Zhao family, he must be an official."

"We all know the character of our own emperor. He will never mistreat his brothers who have fought for him through thick and thin, let alone the Zhao family."

The stall owner did not recognize Zhao Gongming's identity, but he was sure of his background.

Because this mask is exclusive to the Zhao family.

Everyone in the Zhao family has one.

Only members of the Zhao family can wear this mask.

His guess would definitely not be wrong.

"Haha."

"really."

"I didn't expect the boss knew so much."

"Boss, you are not simple. Most people don't have this kind of eyes."

Zhao Gongming smiled.

"Well, when I was young, I also worked for Bai Xiaosheng, but later I got into trouble and retired. My ancestors had some skills, so they set up a stall to sell wontons."

Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person.

Bai Xiaosheng's people are well-known for being good at intelligence.

Since Bai Xiaosheng was recruited, all his subordinates were also recruited.

They were dispersed and joined various departments of the Great Zhao State.

Talented people in intelligence work can shine wherever they go.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

They can get hold of any strange information.

Even if it was in the enemy country's emperor's cat, they couldn't find it.

It's like turning on a map hack.

"Oh my god, Uncle, are you so awesome?"

Princess Catalina on the side said in surprise.

"Hahaha, a hero never brags about his past achievements."

The boss said modestly.

"Boss, do you have any thoughts on returning to the entertainment industry?"

Zhao Gongming took a bite of wonton and found it tasted really good. No wonder several palace maids recommended this wonton shop to him when he left the palace.

It's really delicious.

Emperor's certification.

"Oh, forget it. I've been out of society for nearly twenty years."

"My skills have become unfamiliar."

"And my grandchildren were born, triplets."

"My daughter-in-law and my wife take care of the baby every day, and my son has joined the army. If I leave, there will be no one at home."

"Forget it."

The boss smiled and shook his head.

"Oh, that's fine."

"It's nice to have family fun."

Zhao Gongming said with a smile.

Individuals have their own ideas.

Zhao Gongming did not force it.

He respects everyone's choice.

Some people think career is important, while others care more about family.

Everyone has their own pursuits.

"The boss pays."

"Five cents will do."

"Thank you."

Zhao Gongming counted a few coins, put them on the table, and left.

Princess Catalina looked at Zhao Gongming, then at her boss, took money out of her pocket to pay the bill, and caught up with Zhao Gongming.

"Hey, why are you following me?"

Zhao Gongming came to a noodle shop, turned around, looked at the three people following him, and asked curiously.

"Well, I heard from the boss that you are a member of the Zhao family."

"Hmm? Then what?"

Zhao Gongming looked at the northern barbarian girl in front of him with curiosity.

Judging from the markings on this girl, she should be Catalina, the Northern Barbarian princess who came to Beijing with the Northern Barbarian envoys a few months ago.

The younger sister of Empress Catherine.

It seems that he also has Chinese ancestry.

It's just that her mixed-race features are not obvious.

However, her Shenzhou bloodline is from Daqian, and has nothing to do with his Dazhao.

"Well, you should have also met the emperor of Da Zhao."

"I just want to ask why your court is unwilling to establish diplomatic relations with us northern barbarians."

“I think it’s good for both sides to establish diplomatic relations.”

“It can promote peace and reduce war conflicts.”

This was the first time Princess Catalina had the courage to speak like this.

In fact, the bottom line is that they, the Northern Barbarians, are too weak.

The Great Zhao State was too strong, so strong that it was terrifying.

She had stayed in the Great Zhao Kingdom for the past few months, and on the one hand, she had witnessed the prosperity of the Great Zhao Kingdom, which was much more prosperous than their northern barbarians and the European countries.

Besides this, she could feel the desire for war among the people of the Great Zhao State.

Especially those young people, most of them want to join the army of the Great Zhao Kingdom to expand the territory for the country.

Even disabled people have this idea.

What’s even more terrifying is that the Great Zhao Kingdom really has the ability to expand its territory. This is the most terrifying thing.

I am not afraid of other people's empty talk, what I am most afraid of is that other people really have the ability to kill you.

This is the most terrible.

"Okay? Okay?"

"is it necessary?"

"If two countries establish diplomatic relations, will there be peace?"

"This is not the first time that the Northern Barbarians have broken an agreement."

"Rather than signing a hypocritical contract for some useless toilet paper."

"It's better for both parties not to contact each other. You don't provoke me, and I won't beat you."

“I think that’s good.”

Who doesn't know what kind of personality the Northern Barbarians have?

Just ask the neighboring European countries.

The European countries are the victims, being beaten up by the northern barbarians.

They signed a peace treaty that lasted hundreds of years, and then tore it up at will.

It's even worse than toilet paper.

There is absolutely no need to establish diplomatic relations.
