When Sakai Hoshino saw Liu Mingzhi knocking out the ashes from the smoke pot, he stood up slightly and stretched out his arms in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"Mr. Liu, these are the melon seeds that Hoshino peeled just now when you were chatting with He'er. Do you want to eat some to get rid of the smell of smoke in your mouth?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, put down the tobacco bag in his hand, and took a small handful of melon seeds from the beautiful lady with a smile.
"I have a heart, I have a heart."
"It's okay. Hoshino is just sitting, as long as Mr. Liu likes it."
After taking the melon seeds, Liu Mingzhi was about to pick up the tea and rinse his mouth when a voice suddenly sounded in the pavilion.
"The envoy from the state pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live,"
"Subordinate, please see Miss Hoshino, please see your lord."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea and subconsciously turned to look at the arch in the courtyard.
Sakai He felt something in his heart, and he recognized that the voice of the person coming was that of his subordinate Watanabe.
"Watanabe-kun, what's the matter with you?"
"Back to your lord, Lord Ishibashi was worried that Miss Hoshino would not treat His Majesty the Emperor well because there was not much food here, so he asked his subordinates to go to the street and buy some fine wines and delicacies, as well as cakes and fruit plates and other food."
Sakai He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned around and saluted Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, what do you think?"
Liu Mingzhi caressed his waist intentionally or unintentionally. He had been exercising with Sakai Hoshino for so long not long ago, and he was really feeling a little hungry.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the beautiful lady whose pretty face was slightly blushing after seeing him caressing her waist, and nodded with a smile.
"I've been chatting with Hoshino for a long time, and I'm really hungry. Let's ask him to bring us some food and drinks."
"Yes, yes, your majesty, please wait a moment, and I will go and get it in person."
After Sakai He stood up, he trotted directly towards Watanabe who was standing in the arch.
Seeing that his nephew had left the pavilion, Sakai Hoshino clenched his fist with a cute face and lightly punched Mr. Liu on the arm.
"Bad Mr. Liu, could you please stop touching your waist in front of He'er? What if he finds out something is wrong?"
Young Master Liu blinked at the beautiful lady in a disgraceful manner, and suddenly reached out his hand and patted her buttocks without any warning.
"I can't help it. Aren't you tired from Hoshino?"
"Yeah! You, please be serious."
Sakai Hoshino exhaled softly in a soft voice, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his nephew returning with a tray.
The beauty immediately scolded Young Master Liu in a sweet voice, adjusted her skirt in a subtle manner, and her pretty face turned into a look of nonchalance.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the ministers are back."
"Okay, let's put the food and wine on the table."
"yes."
Sakai Ga first placed the six meat and vegetable dishes one by one in an orderly manner, and then placed the pastries, fruits, and a jar of fine wine.
Sakai He put the tray aside, and placed the dishes in front of Liu Dashao and Liu with a respectful expression.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have the guts to act impolitely."
Liu Mingzhi raised his brows, with a look of doubt in his eyes. He didn't realize what Sakai He meant by his words for a moment.
Sakai Hoshino also looked at his nephew in confusion. Just when she was about to speak, Sakai He picked up a pair of chopsticks and pinched the food and wine on the table.
Liu Mingzhi immediately understood what Sakai He meant. He wanted to test the poison on himself, so that he could rest assured that there was nothing wrong with the food and wine.
Seeing this, Sakai Hoshino vaguely understood what his nephew meant.
She smiled sweetly, stood up, picked up the wine jar on the side and gently removed the sealing mud on it, and then poured a glass of wine into the wine glass in front of her nephew.
After Sakaihe tasted the food on the left and right sides of the stone table one by one, he picked up the drink in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.
Wiping the corners of his mouth casually, Sakai He nodded to Young Master Liu with an indifferent expression.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, you can eat now. If the leeks don't suit your taste, I will replace them immediately."
"Sakai Ga, you are interested."
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is all the responsibility of the ministers."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a slight smile, picked up a piece of soy beef and put it directly into his mouth.
"Hoshino, you eat too."
"Hey, Hoshino knows."
Liu Mingzhi tasted each dish carefully, glancing sideways at Sakai He's face from time to time.
Although I don't have a good sense of Sakai He, there is one thing I have to admit, that is, his ability to deal with people is quite good.
If he were not from Japan, he might have prospered in Dalong's court.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as "if" in the world.
His identity has already determined that he will not stay here with Dalong.
While Liu Mingzhi was thinking secretly, Sakai He was also thinking rapidly.
He was thinking about how to properly inform Liu Mingzhi and Kim Tae-eun of the little tricks that the old fox was doing in private.
If what he said was too straightforward, of course it wouldn't work. Liu Mingzhi would definitely be able to see his purpose of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
If it is too obscure, Liu Mingzhi will not be able to understand what he means, but he will not be able to achieve his purpose.
Alas, what to do? How to do it?
How should I speak so that His Majesty the Emperor can know about this matter without being able to see my intentions?
Why don't you open your mouth to test His Majesty the Emperor's mood in a small way first, and then continue to talk about the rest of the matter.
Anyway, my aunt had just told me that if anything went wrong in the process, she would help him make it right.
With her aunt to help her with the details, even if she makes His Majesty the Emperor unhappy, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Yes, just do it like this, no matter what, you have to give it a try before talking about it.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sakai He's expression that sometimes frowned and sometimes struggled, and he chuckled and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Sakai Ga."
"Ah? The ministers are here, Your Majesty the Emperor, please tell me."
"Since your Japanese delegation came to Beijing to see me, you have asked me more than once to reward you with a batch of sophisticated military equipment, right?"
All the thoughts in Sakai He's mind about how to plot against Goguryeo's envoy Jin Taien disappeared instantly. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind.
His Majesty the Emperor actually took the initiative to mention to himself the matter of rewarding troops?
His Majesty the Emperor actually took the initiative to mention to himself the matter of rewarding troops?
Are you not dreaming?
Sakai He twisted his thigh hard, and the intense pain made him realize that he was not dreaming now.
Liu Mingzhi really mentioned the reward to himself just now.
Sakai He took a deep breath and kept reminding himself that no matter what, he must seize this opportunity.
Damn it, how can you plot against this old fox, Kim Tae-eun.
The only real goal is to find ways to obtain Dalong's sophisticated military equipment and bring the Japanese mainland into the hands of the family master.
Sakai He forcibly controlled the excitement in his heart, but no matter how he controlled it, he could not suppress the obvious excitement on his face.
He immediately stood up, straightened his appearance, and bowed respectfully to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, it is true."
