After learning about the imperial court's plan to resume voyages to the West, Qi Yu immediately put himself on high alert.
He sent his trusted informants to keep an eye on every move of the fleet, for fear that something untoward would happen.
However, this time, it was somewhat surprising that other information was observed.
According to reports, an unidentified steam engine gunboat is currently heading towards the north of Qiongzhou Island.
oh?
Could it be the government warship coming from Dawan?
Not really!
Because the flag hanging on it has no strings or numbers, only a dry yellow dot. How can this be the logo of the Qiong Army?
If not, what does this yellow dot mean?
I really don’t understand something!
Since you don’t understand, then continue monitoring.
Another day later, the mysterious battleship docked at Tianyi Wharf in Qiongzhou as expected.
According to reports from city officials, the visitor was Wu Wanrong from the imperial court.
what the hell!
I thought that the people on board that ship were some of the best in the world, but I never thought that they were actually Yakuza and his ilk.
Wu Wanrong:......
emperor:……
Back to business.
Since the visitor is a Yakuza, there is no need to greet him in person. Just send a few sensible people to deal with it, and that's pretty much it.
that is!
How can it be cool to stay in the Yamen on such a hot day?
Qi Yu smiled proudly, and then sat in the pavilion in the backyard of the Yamen and sipped tea.
Since there wasn't much going on today and the weather was extremely hot, Qi Dalang specially changed into a relatively casual outfit to enjoy wandering around.
Look!
A pair of rubber-soled slippers, plus a pair of knee-high trousers, and then paired with open short sleeves and sun-blocking toad sunglasses, it looks casual. This attitude is almost as good as that of Wang Sishuan in his previous life.
The only discordant thing was the live pistol slung in his waist.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like an upright local chief minister, but more like the boss of the underworld.
Qi Yu felt that since it was just leisure, why should we care about that?
Isn’t it enough to just feel comfortable?
It’s so easy to fall asleep in the hot weather, why not recuperate your energy?
Well, it works...
So, Qi Yu
He lay lazily on the rocking chair and dozed off.
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a very harsh coughing sound in my ears.
"Who the hell is this? Why are you so rude?"
"It's so loud that it prevents people from sleeping?"
Master Qi, who was unhappy, cursed and raised his head, looking completely reluctant.
However, when his vision gradually became clearer, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Why does the man in front of me look so much like His Majesty the Emperor?
Look!
His nose, mouth, shoulders and buttocks were all carved from the same mold...
Damn it!
Could this person be the emperor himself?
Qi Yu tried his best to hide the pounding in his heart and pretended to be calm: "Tsk tsk, Your Excellency has a handsome appearance, majestic aura, and an appearance that is overflowing with dust. It is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
After a pause, he sighed again: "Besides you, the only person in this world who can have such an appearance is our Holy Son of Heaven!"
Um?
As everyone knows, the current emperor is also stunned: Is this evil scoundrel in front of him really my Qi Aiqing?
Listen to this sound... isn't it!
Oh my dear, why are you acting like this?
He looked like a dog the last time we saw him, so how could he be reduced to half-clothed this time?
But the next second, the emperor immediately changed his view.
Look, the tea in his cup seems to be a bit more high-end than mine. Doesn't this look like he's getting unsatisfied? This tense is clearly a tendency towards laziness!
After figuring out the reason, the emperor couldn't help but darken his face and said angrily: "Qi Yu, open your eyes again and see who I am?"
Cough, spit!
You already call yourself 'I', do you still need me to identify you?
Although I think so in my heart, on the surface, I still have to pretend.
Qi Yu took off his sunglasses and said with an exaggerated shock: "Just now, I suddenly felt a vast force of air coming towards me, which made me almost suffocate and almost stop me from reaching the top of the mountain! But I never thought that it was me who was facing the mountain. The Holy Emperor has arrived! All the ministers are here to pay their respects to His Majesty!"
Wu Wanrong, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort when he heard this.
Everyone in the world says that he is good at flattering, but when we meet him today, why?
Do you think Qi Yu is the master in this way?
It seems that I have to continue to work hard!
As the saying goes, if you raise your hand, don't hit someone with a smiling face. This sentence also applies to the emperor.
Originally, he had been preparing a large number of words of admonishment, hoping to repair Qi Yu properly. However, after enjoying this comfortable dragon fart, the anger in my heart has dimmed.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat quickly!"
"Well...this is not a court, so you don't need to be polite."
"..."
After buttoning up his open shirt, Qi Yu poured tea and said, "It's so hot in southern Xinjiang, and His Majesty came here in the summer, so it's really hard work!"
As soon as his words changed, he added: "I wonder who will handle the political affairs in the DPRK after His Majesty's southern tour?"
After saying that, he did not forget to glare at Wu Wanrong.
Could it be that this guy secretly instigated this incident? Otherwise, how could the emperor come to Qiong rashly?
The emperor waved his hands in vain and said with a smile: "The affairs in the court are handled by the ministers of the cabinet, so what do I have to worry about?"
Qi Yu laughed and asked further: "Then why did your Majesty come to Qiong? Is it for inspection or something else?"
What? Want to test me?
It doesn’t matter, I’ll tell you clearly!
"There are rumors in the world that Qiongzhou Province is so prosperous and rich that it is the richest in the world. It can be said that in my Dafeng, there is only one red green in the world! Therefore, I couldn't help but be curious, so I came to take a look."
"Beyond Nanyangization, the barbarian capital may have some buildings, but it is by no means rich. What your Majesty heard is exaggerated."
Although he said this on his lips, Qi Yu understood it very well in his heart.
The emperor must have come here to find out the true details of Qiongzhou.
Faced with this level of in-depth investigation, it is impossible to hide things. The only way is to open up and wait for a way out.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu said calmly: "Your Majesty, you can rest for a while, and it will not be too late to inspect after you have regained your strength. Tonight, I will prepare a small amount of wine to welcome your Majesty's arrival."
After hearing this, the emperor touched the beak of the faint bird and said: "I won't hide it from you, the day and night drifting on the sea is indeed a waste of my appetite. In this case, it is better to obey Qi Aiqing. But , I have a restriction, this is a private visit incognito, and it must not be made public."
Qi Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I know what to do."
