Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, changed to a comfortable position and leaned on the chair, and casually opened the booklet with only a few thin pages in his hand.

Seeing this, Suzaku squeezed Liu Mingzhi's shoulders again.

Liu Mingzhi carefully read each line of the document silently, frowning from time to time and thinking thoughtfully for a moment, and then continued to read the rest of the content silently.

After a while, Liu Mingzhi had carefully read all the contents on the page.

When he turned the page and saw the content on it, he frowned slightly and looked up at the beauty standing behind him, squeezing his shoulders.

"The second page records the information about Goguryeo. Is the information about Japan only one page?"

"Yes, there is only this page of information for now."

Liu Mingzhi sighed with regret, reached out and took off the tobacco bag from his waist and handed it to the beautiful woman behind him.

"It's a bit lacking. There is almost no useful information from the above content."

When Suzaku saw the dry tobacco bag that the young master handed to him, he immediately took it in his hand and filled it with shredded tobacco.

"Young Master, there is nothing we can do about this. Lord Lu, the young minister of Honglu Temple, is only a civil servant after all. He cannot use Qinggong to hide his whereabouts as easily as his brothers.

In the past few days, the brothers have had too many inconveniences when they led Mr. Lu to monitor the envoys from various countries.

During the day, because traces cannot be hidden, it is inconvenient to monitor. At night, there is only a certain amount of time available.

Young Master, you also know that the principal and deputy envoys of various countries’ missions cannot stay together all day long to discuss important matters.

Under all kinds of inconvenient circumstances, it is quite good that Mr. Lu was able to sort out so much content.

Master, the tobacco is ready. "

"Um."

Liu Mingzhi replied with a nasal sound, raised his hand to take the dry tobacco bag handed by the beauty, and lit the tobacco directly with a fire stick.

After gently taking a puff of smoke, half of Liu Mingzhi's face was directly enveloped in the dissipating smoke.

"Try to hide it from aunt as much as possible, and don't let aunt know about it."

"Sir, do you think the eldest lady can really help us?"

"No matter what the situation is, we can only do our best. I hope that this trip to Dalong will not disappoint the family head."

"Sir, the old guy from the Goguryeo Mission went to see the boss of Honglu Temple again. Should we also go to Mr. Wang's place for a walk?"

"Ishibashi-kun, have you found out any useful information?"

"Well, my aunt understands His Majesty the Emperor's character better than we do. Now we can only listen to her for the time being and wait for the good news."

"Shiqiao, do you think it is possible that His Majesty the Emperor will reward us with military equipment after the outcome of the civil and military collaboration between the Emperor and Dalong?"

Liu Mingzhi murmured again in his mind the content on the paper that was worth thinking about, raised his head and silently exhaled a puff of light smoke.

You can guess a lot about what follows, but what do you mean by those words?

Try to hide it from your aunt as much as possible, and don't let her find out.

The aunt mentioned by Sakai Kaguya is Sakai Hoshino.

What are they trying to hide from Hoshino? There is nothing that Hoshino should know about.

"Hu~ Que'er."

"Master, tell me."

"Have you noticed anyone acting suspiciously around our house these days?"

When Zhuque heard the young master's inquiry, he shook his head without hesitation: "Master, Que'er has not received the report from the brothers."

Liu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and was silent for a while, holding the cigarette rod and reading the content on the second page of paper.

After reading all the remaining content in succession, Liu Mingzhi closed the thin booklet and threw it on the table. He leaned over the brazier and knocked the ashes in the pot.

After filling up another pot of tobacco, Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes and carefully reviewed everything he saw in his mind.

"Sir, when are we going to go to His Majesty the Emperor and ask him to reward us with a batch of troops?"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Our top priority now is to find ways to stumbling upon the Japanese mission. Only when we are sure that they cannot obtain the sophisticated military equipment of the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty can we make the next step."

"But according to reports from our spies, the charming lady named Sakai Hoshino in the Japanese mission is now very close to His Majesty the Emperor.

The subordinate is very worried about what unpredictable changes will happen to her existence.

By then, if His Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor is obsessed with her beauty and becomes sympathized with the reward, then the situation will not be good for us!

Not only Sakai Hoshino, it is said that her daughter Hana Qizakura is also very close to several of the great dragon princesses.

Just in case, do you think we should prepare something in advance? "

"Apart from this, is there anything else?"

"It's gone for the time being. The Japanese mission seems to have noticed that we are monitoring them. We have been very careful during this period.

Sir, what do you think of His Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor?

Sakai He first presented so many annual offerings, and then in the evening presented such a priceless night pearl.

But what's the result? Not to mention agreeing to the request of the Japanese mission, His Majesty the Emperor even postponed some of the most basic rewards for Sakai He.

Whether or not a reward is really needed in the end is still a matter of debate.

Sir, tell me, does His Majesty the Emperor have any objections to the Japanese mission? Or maybe someone in the Japanese mission accidentally offended him? "

"There is an old saying that the emperor's heart is unpredictable. His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts are not something we can figure out.

No matter what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking, at least the current situation is beneficial to us.

I think the people in the Japanese mission should be more anxious to get angry than us.

The matter has come to this, as long as the reward issue has not been finalized, we will wait and see what happens. "

"I understand, but I suggest that we do something."

"Hmm! You go and prepare some gifts. I'll go sit down with Mr. Wang and see if he can help us introduce two ministers from Dalong's Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry."

"Yes, I understand. I will come back as soon as I go."

As for the content discussed between the envoys and deputy envoys of other countries, it was much simpler. In addition to making more money in the market, it was how to buy enough Dalong specialties to bring back to the homeland.

Liu Mingzhi opened his eyes silently, and took a long breath with a half-smile.

Good guy, life is really like a play, it all depends on your acting skills!

At that time, I didn't notice at all that besides Sakai He, Goguryeo's envoy Jin Taien actually wanted to be rewarded with a group of excellent military equipment.

It seems that Sakai Kazuko's coalition forces, the Japanese royal family and the reinforcements from Goguryeo are really on a par with each other.

Unfortunately, the contents recorded on the paper are a bit too one-sided after all, and it is difficult for me to analyze any useful information from them.

"Quieer."

"Hey, Master?"

"What do you want to say about the contents of the document?"

"Well, I won't go into details about the source of the conflict between the Japanese mission and the Goguryeo mission.

Que'er thinks that if we want to get more information, we might as well do something about the conflicts between them. "

"Good Que'er, I want you and the young master to go together. Then let's add some fire to them and make the fire between them more intense."

"Add fuel to the fire?"

"The one who knows me is Que'er."

Liu Mingzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked up towards the study door.

"Someone is coming."

"My slave is here."

"Ask Liu Song to come to the study to see me immediately."

"As commanded, I will leave this servant."

The footsteps outside the study gradually faded away. Liu Mingzhi picked up two pieces of rice paper and spread them on the desk. He dipped his pen in ink at the desk and started writing.

About halfway through the tea time, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, the younger one is here."

"come in."

"yes."

Liu Song pushed open the door and walked directly to Liu Mingzhi's desk and stopped.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Liu Song stood opposite Young Master Liu with his head lowered and his eyebrows lowered, as if he didn't see Suzaku standing behind him.

Liu Mingzhi casually picked up the two letters on the table and handed them directly to Liu Song.

"Send someone to deliver these two letters to the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry."

"Yes, Master, do you have anything else to do?"

"No, let's go get busy."

"Yes, please excuse me."

After Liu Song left, Liu Mingzhi stood up from the chair and moved his waist.

"Quieer."

"Master?"

"Is there anything important from Suzaku Division that you need to deal with?"

Suzaku's pretty face was stunned, and she seemed to understand something. She looked at Young Master Liu with charming eyes and shook her head without hesitation.

"No."

Young Master Liu raised his brows, lifted the beautiful lady up in his arms, and walked towards Ruantan not far away with a cheerful expression on his face.

"Then let's talk about life."

"Master, eh~"

When autumn is high and the air is crisp, the spring breeze blows over Yumen.
