The sky was as black as ink, and the violent wind swept up the rain in the air, lashing the city in front of us like a long whip from the sky. Debris was swept up into the sky at any time, and people with broken windows were panicking. scream.
The sea roared in the distance, and huge waves more than four meters high slapped on the breakwater with white smoke. The merchant ships hiding in the port swayed like origami boats in the hands of children.
This is a common typhoon weather in Ryukyu in summer. The warm and cold air masses in the Pacific are entangled together to form a violent swirling force, which rushes towards the cities where humans gather with the fury of heaven and earth.
Although Xiao Letian's Prime Minister's Palace still looks like a typical Chinese-style palace building with brackets from the outside, it has begun to use the latest reinforced concrete technology inside, so it has no pressure to resist such Taiwanese forces.
Sitting in the study with the doors and windows closed, drinking sweet freshly squeezed juice and looking at the rainy scene of the entire city outside the window is really a unique feeling. Plus, there are two big girls Qingwen and Ping'er beside them who are cleaning the house. Xiao Letian felt very comfortable chatting with each other.
"No wonder the ancients created the word "an", which is the daughter of a treasure capped above and a woman below. It turns out that she has a big house of her own, and there is her own woman in the house... This is the greatest peace of mind!"
Qingwen rolled her eyes at him and spat softly, "Bah... A woman is called An. You have a group of women under the cover of a treasure. What is that called? You tell me..."
Xiao Letian's face turned slightly red due to the aggressive Qing Wen, "Haha... Hahaha! Don't be afraid if there are too many women. I have plenty of houses, I can accommodate them all, I can accommodate them all!"
Listening to the howling wind and rain outside the window, Ping'er was obviously a little scared and turned pale. Especially when she saw half a coconut tree tumbling in the air and flying past the mountainside, she covered her mouth in fear.
The Prime Minister's Mansion of Ryukyu was built on the basis of the original Rigen Mansion in Kayama Mountain. The terrain is higher than Shuri Castle, and Xiao Letian's study was built in the place with the widest view. From here, he can completely overlook the entire city.
Layers upon layers of blocks are densely packed like a chessboard. The urban area begins to undulate along the mountains, directly connected with the pier. Standing here and looking at the scenery is really refreshing.
However, this feeling of overlooking the country is a bit uncomfortable for Ping'er. Xiaojiabiyu was born in Xiaojiabiyu and has accepted the idea of never leaving the front door or stepping outside the second door since she was a child. She lives a normal life in a small courtyard and looks at the four directions above her head every day. sky. She was completely unaccustomed to the feeling of seeing everything at once, which made her very insecure.
"The second madam went to Japan for fun, but she hasn't come back for more than a month. I'm so weirded out! The eldest madam is covered in eczema, and she also went back to Tanggu, leaving us alone...how lonely!" Ping'er said aggrievedly.
Xiao Letian's two daughters-in-law separated last month. For some reason, Huniu insisted on going to Japan to soak in hot springs. She also said she would go to Mount Fuji to see the snow scenery this winter. Xiao Letian is a man who spoils his wife. Although Huniu's request is very embarrassing to the old shopkeeper, how can there be such a crazy wife in the world? It would be a joke if word spread about it.
But Xiao Letian doesn't care. In later generations, who is a rich lady from a wealthy family who doesn't go abroad to play and run around every day? What's more, he is the prime minister of Ryukyu, so there is no problem in giving his wife this privilege.
The CIA provided a security team of more than fifty people, and the Tokugawa shogunate provided two hundred elite warriors. The shogunate also sent an official document to the national daimyo Kuaima, requiring all local daimyo to prepare for the reception.
Huniu went to Japan by boat in a show of glory, and Fuhui also had a problem. Since she had been accustomed to the northern climate all her life, she was very unaccustomed to the hot and humid climate in Ryukyu during the six months. When summer came, Ryukyu entered the hottest period. After the season, Fuhui developed a lot of eczema all over her body.
Xiao Letian felt so sorry for his daughter-in-law that he took medicine, scraped, cupped, and cooked therapeutic soup...all kinds of methods were used, but the eczema still didn't get better. In the end, he could only follow the doctor's advice and send him back to the north. , returning to her familiar climate environment.
The two daughters-in-law took away most of the women, and now Xiao Letian was left with Qingwen and Heping'er. At first, the two women secretly rejoiced that they could finally have the master all to themselves, but as time went by, they became bored. stand up.
Xiao Letian was really too busy. He had to deal with various official documents until late at night every day. It was pitiful to look at him with two pandas on his back. Even if the two girls wanted to sleep with him, they felt sorry for his body and refused one by one. The master’s unreasonable thoughts.
Fortunately, the typhoon came today, which brought the communication between Ryukyu and the outside world to a standstill. The volume of telegrams also dropped by two-thirds. Xiao Letian finally had time to spend some time with them.
Pulling Ping'er into his arms, Xiao Letian pinched her chin and teased, "Are you lonely? Don't be afraid that being with me will make you lonely? There's nothing to do in the wind and rain, so why not...hehehe!"
Xiao Letian suddenly smiled lewdly, and Ping'er blushed so much that he was almost bleeding, but he wanted to hide but didn't dare and was reluctant to hide. Qingwen next to him gave them both a look of disdain.
"Oh? You dare to blame me, Master? Do you dislike me... Do you think so..." Xiao Letian hugged Qingwen into his arms.
"Come on, come on, sir, can I play a game with you... The name is called sleeping with a big quilt, promulgating adultery in the daytime..." The little pepper Qingwen couldn't stand the shameless words, and pinched her hard. Xiao Letian felt a soft flesh on his waist, which made him cry out in pain.
Just when Xiao Letian was holding his little wife in his arms and getting ready to relax, suddenly there was a sound of treading water outside the study room. He looked quickly and saw that someone was running all the way.
"Report to the Prime Minister! Urgent call from Europe..." A roar caused all the heat in Xiao Letian's body to dissipate like a tide. Upon hearing this, the two women quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, and fastened the unbuttoned buttons.
Xiao Letian opened the door and went out to greet him. He saw that it was Wang Huaiyuan. Being able to use the top intelligence chief in East Asia to send a telegram despite a typhoon showed the urgency of the situation.
"Go to the small flower hall to talk..." After passing through the wind-proof verandah, the two people walked quickly towards the small flower hall on the rockery. The guards around them wanted to follow but were stopped by Xiao Letian. "You guys wait under the rockery. Don't follow me..."
The small flower hall on the rockery is actually an improved Chinese pavilion, surrounded by thick floor-to-ceiling glass, which blocks wind and rain but does not affect the view. It is the best place to enjoy the rain scene in Ryukyu.
Wang Huaiyuan turned around and closed the door, and said anxiously, "What can we do? The bombardment of Dakar has destroyed the entire city, why can't France go crazy? Prepare for war! Ryukyu must prepare for war in an all-round way now, and the French will not give up. !”
Xiao Letian was also stunned by this shocking news. The translated message was sent in duplicate in Africa by the Prussian intelligence officer after he separated from the Zhiyuan.
In other words, what Xiao Letian sees now is exactly the same as the first telegram Hamburg received. It only briefly introduces the entire process of the conflict. There are no specific circumstances at all, not even the details of the battle.
Xiao Letian's face also turned cold. "Am I a little too indulgent towards these children? It's just a sneak attack on a few merchant ships in the Atlantic, but I dare to bombard the French colonies? It's really adding to the chaos..."
