Qi Xiaotong remembers very clearly that when his father was still the prefect of Qiongzhou, he received a favor from the then Queen Su Liu.
And that thing is just an ordinary glass mirror.
Speaking of this, there is still some humor in it.
At that time, glass mirrors were still a scarce item, so naturally, they became more valuable when they were rare. Wu Wanrong, who was good at flattery, followed the fashion and collected some to pay tribute to the palace.
What the Empress Dowager gave at that time was one of those tributes.
It can be seen that early versions of glass mirrors did exist in the palace, but they did not exist in Goryeo.
Looking at it now, isn't it incredible that that version of things appears here?
Could it be said that Li Hongyu brought it here?
If you look into it carefully, this possibility really exists.
Su Liu is Li Hongyu's biological mother, and it is reasonable for her mother to give her son something. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that this is something left behind today.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaotong couldn't help but trembled in her heart: Could it be that that was where the emperor was imprisoned?
To confirm whether this is true or not, further investigation is required.
However, before exploring, you should first understand its surrounding geographical environment.
Naturally, the Shi brothers held nothing back and tried to describe it as vividly as possible.
Qi Xiaotong took out a pen and paper and sketched while listening. Soon, he drew a very close topographic map.
She has been practicing painting with Qi Yu since she was a child. Although she is not up to everyone else's level, her basic skills are pretty solid. Therefore, this one of hers is pretty good.
It is not difficult to see from the 'bird's eye view' of the map that this place is indeed extremely dangerous.
Especially the 'only channel' is a realistic representation of 'one man can block it and ten thousand men can't open it'.
The conclusion is: it is extremely difficult to take action here.
Even if it’s difficult, you have to do it because you have no choice.
Next, it’s a matter of how to conduct the test.
"I plan to invite the King of Korea to go hunting in the countryside, and the location will be around this place. If he readily agrees, it means that this place is an ordinary granary or a defensive military outpost. However, if he declines, Or changed the place, which means there is something hidden here that he doesn’t want us to see. Nine times out of ten, it is related to Li Hongyu."
"The advantage of this is that we can get what we want without alerting the enemy."
In the senses of the Shi brothers, Qi Xiaotong was definitely a god-like existence. He had absolutely no second thoughts other than obeying his words.
However, this strategy is indeed very convincing.
People can always get the information they need inadvertently. For this alone, I don’t know how many times I have to outsmart myself.
After the discussion was over, Xiaotong immediately began to write a letter and prepare to pay homage to the King of Goryeo again.
However, just as he started writing, he heard a guard coming to report that Jin Liufu, the imperial master of Goryeo, wanted to see him.
Huh? Why is he here?
Qi Xiaotong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then walked out to greet him.
After leaving the apartment, I saw that the other party came with a gift this time.
Oh, why has your attitude changed?
In any case, the visitor is a guest, so he should be served with tea first.
Therefore, after a few words of greeting, Xiaotong immediately let him into the living room.
Unexpectedly, Jin Liufu actually took the initiative to sit in the lower corner.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the president's style is even better than before. Although the beauty doesn't wear makeup or flowers, she is a thousand times better than Chang'e in the Moon Palace."
"The Great Imperial Master is over-reputed. My little sister, I am vulgar and pretty, and I have the beauty of a willow tree. How can I be compared with the charming Chang'e?"
Today, you not only come to deliver gifts, but your mouth is also much sweeter.
These phenomena are not ordinary abnormalities!
Although they had treated each other with courtesy before, it was a false politeness from business to business. From beginning to end, there had never been any personal contact. This time, it was unprecedented.
Nine times out of ten, the other party is asking for something, otherwise, such a big change would never be possible.
Therefore, Xiaotong asked with vigilance but displeasure: "I wonder what the Imperial Master has to say when he comes here."
"I don't take advice seriously. This is just an ordinary visit."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Liufu seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so he changed his explanation and said: "I came here today firstly to give a return gift to President Qi, and secondly, I want to talk about some personal matters by the way." Qi Xiaotong was shocked when he heard this and asked: "What kind of gift did you get in return? What was the discussion about?"
Jin Liufu laughed and said one by one: "Previously, your envoy Mr. Huang met with me on your behalf. The etiquette he brought was quite expensive, which made me deeply uneasy. From the perspective of courtesy, You must respond appropriately, otherwise, it will be rude."
"It's just a local specialty, but it makes the great master laugh. The return gift is too much, and I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it." Qi Xiaotong replied seemingly unconcerned.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"However, absolutely! We, Goryeo, are a country of etiquette and Confucianism. How can we do impolite things?" Jin Liufu quickly made a 'correction'.
Qi Xiaotong nodded and smiled and said: "In that case, the little lady would be disrespectful." After saying that, she then asked: "I wonder what the private matter that the great master said is?"
Hearing this, Jin Liufu couldn't help but smile.
However, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a Huazi brand cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself skillfully.
After he blew out a big smoke ring, he said with a comfortable look on his face: "To be honest, President Qi, I have been particularly obsessed with cigarettes made in Qiongzhou recently. If I don't smoke for one day, I feel uncomfortable all over my body." .So, I have a gracious request, and I would like to ask you to help me collect some. The so-called private matters, nothing more!"
Um? ?
Looking at his appearance, could it be...
Tsk tsk, if you plant flowers intentionally, they won’t bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
I had deliberately planned to let the King of Korea fall in love with this good thing, but I never thought that I would accidentally fall on Jin Liufu.
It’s true that plans don’t change quickly!
However, this unexpected change also provided another feasible idea for Qi Xiaotong's next layout.
It can be regarded as a good breakthrough point.
If you 'control' Jin Liufu, it is equivalent to controlling half of the king of Goryeo. No matter what you do, it will become much easier.
Yes, use him as a breakthrough point and make a detailed plan around it.
Who knows, there will be unexpected surprises.
Didn't he want to collect cigarettes?
This is a good trading chip and must be used.
