The two of them had done enough foreplay and finally got down to business.
Yan Qi asked directly: "Did Mr. Mitsui take this risk specifically to discuss the South China Sea issue with me? If that is the case, you have made a mistake. You will be the one to take the blame."
Sanjingluo hurriedly started to talk: "The blame? Master Yan, please make it clear."
Yan Qi said straightforwardly: "The issue of the South China Sea is related to the interests of Dahua, Japan, and the fifteen countries in the South China Sea."
"Moreover, the situation is now certain. The Japanese country has been arrogant and domineering in the South China Sea for ten years. Now that it is defeated, naturally everyone is crying out for defeat."
"The leaders of the fifteen countries in the South China Sea are full of anger towards the Japanese country. But, who can you blame? Why don't you blame Tokugawa Taikang Li Ling for being stupid and audacious, and even thinking of kidnapping the leaders of the countries in the South China Sea to order the South China Sea?"
"Such despicable acts are so heinous and full of evil that it is difficult to describe them. They are the scum that makes people and gods in the fifteen countries of the South China Sea angry. Everyone spurns them, scolds them and beats them."
"But in this difficult situation, Mr. Mitsui went against the current, negotiated with Dahua and the fifteen countries of the South China Sea, and shouldered all responsibilities."
"Although I admire Mitsui-sama's courage, I also regret that Mitsui-sama's reputation has been ruined."
"If you negotiate well, the credit goes to Tokugawa Seihiko, because it was Tokugawa Seihihi who sent you."
"If you don't negotiate well, then the fault will be yours, and you will be Tokugawa Seihiko's scapegoat. What other good ending can there be besides death?"
As soon as these words came out, Mitsui Luo's heart skipped a beat.
He originally thought that since Yan Qi thought so highly of him, he would just have a good talk with Yan Qi, and maybe he could solve the South China Sea trade issue.
As long as this problem is solved, his contribution will be great.
Maybe, you can go to the next level.
From the second minister of the Grand Administration, he was promoted to the first minister.
But unexpectedly, Yan Qi's beautiful dream was extinguished by Yan Qi.
Because this matter is related to the interests of the fifteen countries in the South China Sea and to the interests of Dahua.
It is also full of hatred and disgust for the Japanese country.
Such a complicated and thorny matter, it's too late to shirk it, how can you take it upon yourself.
Silly.
Sanjingluo thought clearly about the seriousness of this, and quickly shook his head: "Master Yan misunderstood! I am not here to discuss the South China Sea issue."
"oh?"
Yan Qi was testing San Jingluo's tone.
Now that he knew that Mitsui-sama was really not here to negotiate, he continued to test: "Then why is Master Mitsui here?"
Mitsui said: "The British Lord attaches great importance to the South China Sea issue. He wants to rush to Temasek in person to discuss and resolve the South China Sea issue with Mr. Yan in an atmosphere of friendship and understanding."
Hearing this, Yan Qi knew what was going on.
As expected, Tokugawa Seuhiko wanted Mitsui Raku to be his lobbyist.
This old guy really doesn't want to die until he reaches the Yellow River.
I want to come and solve the problem in person, but I am afraid of being in trouble.
Therefore, I first sent Tokugawa Chenghiko to test his tone.
Quite calculated.
Little did he know that this was playing into Yan Qi's hands.
Yan Qi had actually expected this.
So, he decided to give Tokugawa Seihiko a chance to 'admit his mistake'.
Take this to squeeze out the last drop of oil from Tokugawa Seihiko.
Yan Qi raised his eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Mitsui is here to facilitate Tokugawa Chenghiko's personal negotiation with me. This matter sounds a bit fanciful."
When Sanjingluo heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Master Yan, the British Lord has personally come to apologize to Master Yan, lower his posture, and negotiate amicably on the South China Sea issue. Can you give me a chance?"
Yan Qi's mind raced and he snorted coldly: "Lower his posture? How low can he lower his posture? Can he kneel before the leaders of the fifteen kingdoms of the South China Sea and kowtow to beg for mercy? Can he let people die in this war? Are the Dahua soldiers coming back from the dead?"
"If he can do the above two things, then great, if he comes to the South China Sea, I will never ask for it; if he can't do these two things, go back to where he came from."
Mitsui Luo felt chilled when he heard this.
After all, Tokugawa Seuhiko was the British master of Japan, and his status and status were unparalleled.
No matter what, it was impossible for him to kneel before the heads of the fifteen kingdoms of the South China Sea and beg for mercy.
He also has no magic spell to bring those dead Dahua soldiers back to life.
And Yan Qi's request was so decisive.
Doesn't this mean that Tokugawa Seuhiko's Nanhai trip has completely failed.
Thinking of this, Mitsui Luo felt sad.
Yan Qi observed Mitsui's sad expression: "Master Mitsui, why are you so sad? The South China Sea issue is not a disaster caused by you, and I have not made things difficult for you. I just want the culprit, the Tokugawa Shogunate, to pay the due price and fight with you." It doesn’t matter, just go back and express my attitude to Tokugawa Seihiko. As long as he can do the two points I mentioned, just come to the South China Sea."
Mitsui Luo's scalp tightened when he heard this: "Master Yan is a bit...somewhat forcing others to do something difficult. Lord Ying is the leader of the Japanese country after all, how can he bow his knee to others?"
Yan Qi sneered: "If he can't kneel down, then he has no choice but to enjoy the pleasure of pressing the bull's head."
Mitsui Luo was upset when he heard this. Yan Qi was determined to punish Tokugawa Chenghiko.
He immediately became frustrated.
Because, if this task is not completed, Tokugawa Chenghiko will definitely kill himself in order to clarify his own responsibilities and show off to the Thirty-Six Zaibao of the four major islands.
Thinking of this, his expression was not only depressed, but his shoulders were shaking, and his whole face was a little distorted.
Yan Qi observed Mitsui Luo's expression carefully and saw that he was already showing fear, so he pretended to be concerned: "What's wrong, Master Mitsui? You suddenly became nervous. Could it be that you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Why don't you lie down?" Take a rest."
Plop!
Mitsui Luo's face turned pale. He bent his knees and knelt in front of Yan Qi with a plop.
Yan Qi pretended to be confused: "What are you doing, Mitsui-sama? He gave me a kneeling ceremony. Don't you understand? I want Tokugawa Seihiko to kneel down and kowtow, not you." Kneel down three times and kowtow to me."
Mitsuiru lamented pitifully: "Lord Yan, you don't know something. My trip was also forced by Tokugawa Seihiko. I was roasted by him on the fire."
"If my trip cannot lead to talks on the South China Sea, Tokugawa Masahiko will definitely kill me in order to get rid of his responsibilities in the South China Sea, and will also pin the problem and crime of the South China Sea on my head."
"At that time, not only will I die, our Mitsui family will also be completely defeated, and he will kill the nine clans."
Yan Qi stared in shock: "Is there such a thing? Hey, it's so hard for Mitsui-sama that he suffered an unreasonable disaster and became Tokugawa Seuhiko's scapegoat. Mitsui-sama, do you want me to respect you in advance? A glass of guillotine?"
Hearing these words, Mitsui was so frightened that he almost flew out of the sky.
