After Sakai Hoshino's aunt and nephew left the courtyard one after another, the Japanese deputy envoy Taro Ishibashi walked up to his subordinates with an excited expression.
In his dazed look, Ishibashi Taro raised his hands, grabbed his arms and shook them vigorously a few times.
"Watanabe-kun, did you hear that? Did you hear what Miss Hoshino said to you just now?"
"Subordinate, I heard it."
"Watanabe-kun, I am afraid that I was dreaming just now. Please immediately repeat to me what Miss Hoshino said to you just now."
"Back to your lord, just now Miss Hoshino told your lord that His Majesty the Emperor of Dalong is going to summon him."
Taro Ishibashi immediately let go of Watanabe, put his hands on his cheeks and rubbed them vigorously, while laughing heartily.
"Hahaha, hahaha, in Dalong's words, this is another village where everything is bright and dark!
As long as Kim Tae-eun's little tricks reach the ears of His Majesty Emperor Dalong, then some of the factors that are unfavorable to us will be solved immediately.
In fact, Kim Tae-eun, an old fox, might lose his old life because of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's anger. "
Sakai Ga and Ishibashi Taro are indeed very smart. In just half a day, the two of them clearly analyzed all the pros and cons.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that without Liu Mingzhi's secret instructions.
How dare Dalong's Minister of War and Minister of Industry dare to agree to the visit of a country's envoy!
The two of them are indeed very smart.
However, Liu Mingzhi is even better.
Taro Ishibashi muttered to himself excitedly, and seemed to think of something again. He immediately took out a banknote from his sleeve and stuffed it into Watanabe's hand.
"Watanabe-kun, it's already time for dinner. There is a high probability that there is nothing to eat in the place where Miss Hoshino lives.
You should immediately go to the big restaurant on the street to buy some fine wine, delicacies, pastries, preserves and other food, and bring them back to His Majesty Emperor Dalong and his companions. "
"Sir, what if I don't need it?"
"Whether it can be used or not, we have to prepare in advance. After all, are we prepared?
At worst, we can eat it ourselves, since nothing is wasted anyway. "
"I understand, I will resign."
"Go back quickly."
"As commanded."
Sakai Hoshino's aunt and nephew did not know Taro Ishibashi's arrangements. At this time, they had already walked into the quiet courtyard where Sakai Hoshino lived.
"Auntie, didn't you just say that you had been chatting with His Majesty the Emperor for a long time?"
In front of Sakai Hoshino's eyes, the love and joy that happened between him and Liu Jun in the boudoir could not help but appear, and the shyness in his beautiful eyes flashed away.
However, it was naturally impossible for her to truly tell her nephew what happened between herself and Liu Mingzhi.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, while you were chatting, did His Majesty the Emperor reveal to you the reason why he suddenly wanted to summon the child?
The child is now over the excitement just now, and now he suddenly feels a little nervous. After all, I didn't have any mental preparation in advance. "
"When we were chatting, we didn't mention anything about you or our mission. Liu Jun suddenly proposed to summon you to see him."
Sakai Hoshino did not tell her nephew Liu Mingzhi about the reward of soldiers and equipment that she had said before. It was about to become clear. It was not that she wanted to hide anything from her nephew.
But until there is no concrete outcome of this matter, it is better not to tell him than to tell my nephew.
Even if I tell him, there will be no benefit except making him worry about gains and losses.
Sakai He sighed with regret, and immediately raised his hand to straighten his appearance.
"Yes, the child knows."
"He'er, don't be nervous. Just say whatever Liu Jun asks you later. You can say what you should say, but try not to mention what you shouldn't.
If something goes wrong in the middle, your aunt will find a way to help you make it right. "
"Hey, I understand, kid, now I have trouble to worry about."
"Silly boy, why are you being polite to your aunt?
Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go there quickly and don't keep Liu Jun waiting. "
"Yes, yes, aunt please."
When Sakai Hoshino and his nephew were walking towards the room, Young Master Liu's voice suddenly sounded from the pavilion in the small courtyard.
"Hoshino, Sakai Ga, I'm here."
Sakai Hoshino's aunt and nephew looked startled, and subconsciously looked towards the pavilion. When they saw Young Master Liu sitting in the pavilion holding melon seeds, they immediately hurried forward to greet him.
"Hoshino has met Mr. Liu."
"The Japanese envoy Sakai He went to see His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, long live long live long live."
"Everyone is free of charge."
"Thank you Mr. Liu."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
Liu Mingzhi crossed his legs and spat out the melon seed peels in his mouth as if carelessly.
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be too reserved. Stop standing and sit down."
"Hey, Hoshino knows."
"My ministers obey, thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at Sakai Hoshino's aunt and nephew sitting opposite him, and raised his hand to put a melon seed into his mouth.
Gently spitting out the melon seeds in his mouth, Liu Mingzhi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the tray on the table and placed them in front of the beauty.
"Hoshino, it's too boring just sitting around. Why don't you eat some melon seeds?"
Sakai Hoshino knew that Liu Mingzhi didn't like his too polite behavior with him, so he directly grabbed the melon seeds in his hand with a smile on his face, pinched out one and put it in his lips.
"Sakai Ga, do you want some too?"
Sakai He saw Liu Mingzhi signaling to him and waved his hand hurriedly.
His aunt dared to eat melon seeds without any scruples in front of Young Master Liu. That was the basis of their friendship. However, this did not mean that she could also have this honor.
If I were really naive enough to take Liu Mingzhi's kind words seriously.
That's really naive.
"No, no, no, Bongchen has been a little angry recently, so it's not advisable to eat melon seeds."
"That's a pity. You really have no luck."
"Yes, yes, the minister must pay attention to his physical condition in the future."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then continued to crack the melon seeds in his hand, and from time to time he raised his eyes and glanced at Sakai He who was sitting opposite and looked extremely uncomfortable.
The more Liu Mingzhi said nothing, the more nervous Sakai He became.
Can you not be nervous?
The man sitting opposite him is not only a man who can control his own life and death, but also a man who can control the life and death of the entire Japanese country.
Not only can he easily decide his own life and death, he can also decide the rise and fall of the Japanese country.
No matter how noble his status is in the Japanese country, no matter how prominent his position is.
But in front of him, after all, he was just a small envoy of a subordinate country.
Sakai He took a peek at Mr. Liu who was just cracking melon seeds silently without saying anything. A thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead at some point.
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.
In front of Liu Mingzhi, I was really nervous and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
It was like this when we met in the Royal Garden of Dalong Palace many years ago, and it is also like this today many years later.
Instead of getting better, it got worse.
Time passed by, and as time passed, my fear of Liu Mingzhi became stronger and stronger.
He couldn't say where he was afraid, but he could not help but feel afraid.
Sakai He took a vague glance at his aunt Sakai Hoshino, who was chewing melon seeds without any scruples like Liu Mingzhi. A feeling of envy suddenly surged in his heart.
He didn't expect to be like his aunt, who could be so unscrupulous in front of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.
He just hopes that he doesn't have to be as cautious as he is now.
Unfortunately, he found that he seemed unable to do this.
