The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"Mr. Du, although we have been investigating the masked men who surrounded and killed the Chu State envoy at the border, we only know that they were sent by the Chu State."

"As for the people behind this..." Yin Cheng shook his head.

Miyakoji's intelligence in Daqian is certainly very good, but in Chu State, the places they can penetrate are very limited.

Li Yi frowned, "When they finally retreated, the target of the arrow they shot should be me."

"In the case of Chu State's scientific examination fraud, I killed many old and cunning people. I'm afraid he is thinking about me."

"The assassination was probably his secret order."

"Let's put it on hold for now. I will settle this account with him when I return to Chu."

"It has been almost half a month since King Xi's defeat. Where is Taifu now?"

"Du Gong, it's still early. I'm afraid we haven't even arrived in Zhongzhou. The speed of the carriage..." Yin Cheng shook his head, "What do you want to say to him? It's better for Fei Ge to send a letter to Du Qianwei over there as a successor. Bar."

"Du Gong, these are the portraits of envoys from various countries." A avant-garde from the capital came in holding a basket of scrolls.

Li Yi nodded, and after the capital guards retreated, he walked outside the house, "Yin Cheng, let the people at the border pay more attention. If you find Sheng Yuanshi, you are welcome to arrest him directly."

"Let him experience how cruel the outside world is, so as not to give him a wrong perception and habitually run away from home."

The corners of Li Yi's lips curled up, and his smile sounded malicious.

With just a few attendants by his side, he dared to run towards Daqian. The most important thing was that this boy was still running to save people.

As long as he and Si Jian are not the same person, Sheng Yuanshi will be the one to deliver the food properly.

"Mr. Du, fortunately my eldest sister is married and my younger sister is still young." Yin Cheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Li Yi tilted him.

Yin Cheng raised a smile, dodged to the side, and then quickly went down to do his work.

Du Gong's brother-in-law, so far, I haven't seen any of them have a good life.

From the several young masters of the Tang family to the current Sheng Yuanshi, no one should be subjected to repeated rubbing by Du Gong.

"Hey!"

Li Yi smiled, being his uncle would be a blessing that could not be asked for!

It's just Yin Cheng who has no vision.

Shaking his head, Li Yi went back to the house to look at his portrait.

Li Yi already knows the general situation of each person in the mission that came to Daqian this time.

But in order to prevent them from arranging people to impersonate him and stir up trouble secretly, Li Yi specifically asked Du Qianwei to get the portrait.

The Rong Kingdom sent to Da Gan were two princes and six envoys, as well as Da Zai's youngest daughter. It was said that she was extremely beautiful and could make the young men of the Rong Kingdom scream as soon as she appeared.

This kind of collected portraits cannot be completely similar to the person, and they are probably only sixty-seven points.

Unfolding the scroll, Li Yi crossed his arms. According to the portrait, the beauty is beautiful, but it is not stunning.

After looking at it for a few times, Li Yi put away the scroll and unfolded another one.

After reading the one from Rong Kingdom, Li Yi picked up the one from Qin Kingdom.

Qin State is quite mysterious, either there is no wind or waves, or it suddenly rises up.

Xuancheng, the capital of the country, is difficult for outsiders to sneak into. Every man there will have an eagle totem tattooed on the back of his neck as soon as he is born.

If you don't have one, your every move will be monitored by guards from the moment you enter the city.

Those who worship martial arts to the extreme are like scholars. Not only do they have no chance of success, but they also have to worry about the emperor becoming unhappy one day and burning books to embarrass scholars.

Very polarized, men are either strong or feminine.

This is why the masculine style of Qin State is so popular.

He casually opened the scroll, and when he caught a glimpse of the woman in the portrait, Li Yi frowned. How could she look so much like Qingyue!

The Qin State's envoy to Daqian has only one woman, and that is Princess Ning Xi of the Qin State.

Li Yiqing raised his eyes as he traced his finger across the portrait. He really should have taken this painting to Xiao Zhen and asked him if he had lost a sister back then.

With a chuckle, Li Yi closed the portrait and picked up another scroll.

After unfolding it, Li Yi raised his eyebrows. Perhaps he should ask Xiao Zhen what was going on. Siblings from other families could tell at a glance why he and Qingyue seemed to be born to different parents.

After reading all the portraits, Li Yi picked up the charcoal and continued to write and draw on the paper.

Don't ask him why he doesn't use a brush. He's not very good at drawing pictures with that thing.

Especially one that pays great attention to details.

After finishing the painting, Li Yi secretly went to a house near the lake with these days' drawings.

Among them are the top talents Li Yi asked the avant-garde to search for from all over the country, including blacksmiths, those who are proficient in mechanisms, and most importantly, those who have research on matchlock guns.

Like firearms making, professional matters should be left to professionals.

He is responsible for pointing the direction.

After staying in the house for half an hour, Li Yi explained his theoretical knowledge about guns and the specific shapes and sizes of the patterns drawn on the drawings to these people in detail before Li Yi went out.

Gunpowder was used again and again. Although Chu State did not master it completely, its lethality was sufficient.

This also means that it is difficult to achieve a suppressive victory with gunpowder alone.

Once the distance is closed, using gunpowder to injure the enemy is to take advantage of yourself.

Li Yi would never adopt the tactic of "die together" unless he was desperate.

Guns are much more flexible.

Easy to carry and powerful.

One shot and one little crispy skin.

This stuff needs to be strictly controlled, it's too dangerous.

After looking at the time, Li Yi went to Zuixianfang.

Someone invited him to have a drink today. If it were an ordinary person, Li Yi might not respond.

But the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the face of his father-in-law, he dare not deny.

In a farm on the outskirts of Beijing, Princess Xiangyu took off her palace skirt and put on a neat riding outfit.

After tying her clothes, Princess Xiangyu curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "What kind of things are you bringing? How can you gallop around with these clothes on?"

"I can't even find a dagger."

Princess Xiangyu's usually expressionless face was full of annoyance.

From the jewelry, she picked out a sharp gold hairpin, stroked the tip with her jade fingers, and nodded with satisfaction, "Is this decent?"

Turning her eyes and looking outside, she hid the gold hairpin in her sleeves. Princess Xiangyu stepped out, the sharp look in her eyes disappearing in a flash.

In Zuixianfang, Li Yi poured wine for Tang Shangshu.

He wanted to call his father-in-law, but looking at Tang Shangshu's expression, it didn't look like he wanted to get close to him. Li Yi was honest and polite.

Don't fail to gain a favorable impression, and instead be scolded for being frivolous.

A quarter of an hour passed, both of them sipping their drinks quietly, with no one speaking.

Li Yi didn't know if Tang Yimeng's father was testing his patience. He always said that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, and silence was golden. Li Yi was very patient.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Then he saw Tang Shangshu's eyes becoming more and more dissatisfied, "Is this how you usually get along with Xiaoyi?"
