But Murphy's law -- that if things go wrong, no matter how small the chances are, it will happen -- hit the delegation hard.The next morning, as soon as Yan woke up, he heard a horrifying news: Hashirama had left Fire City, and before leaving, he transferred all responsibilities to Li.

Although one of the two heroes of the ninja world made it clear that he didn't care about the dispute, the timing was too coincidental to cause an uproar.Fortunately, thanks to his long-term cooperative relationship with Madara, no one believed that they would break up, so this turmoil did not lead to a catastrophe after all.

It's just that when Hashirama left, all the tasks that originally belonged to him were placed on Li.And the sad Yan Yi had to face the fact that he had to change his schedule overnight again...

Greeting Zhu Jian a few words in his heart, Yan Yi buried himself with documents again, and embarked on a long journey.And a rumor that appeared and disappeared quickly in the market made him catch something: Hashirama seemed to be taken away by Zhizheng.

"Mr. Chang Yan, are you there?" The voice outside the door brought Yan Yi back to reality, and he raised his voice, "Please come in."

A ninja pushed the door open and said, "Good day. Changyan-san, there is a kiosk staff outside, here to deliver the pastries Mr. Li ordered a few days ago."

Close to ordering pastries?Yan turned his mind, and quickly picked out a person named April from his memory.So he nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you. Where is he now?"

"In the hall."

"I'll go right now."

After sending the ninja away, Yanyi immediately got up and went downstairs to meet the "kiosk worker" who appeared to be a courier but actually worked in the intelligence department.

The first time Yan Yi saw this person, he decided that he would be a qualified intelligence worker—the unpretentious public face, the innocent temperament of the boy next door, and the words and deeds of the people are enough to make most people think of "secret" "When these two words are used, he is automatically ignored.

——and at this time he was standing in the hall with a box of pastries, with just the right amount of curiosity and nervousness on his face.

Yan Yi walked over to him and asked, "Good day. Are you here to deliver cakes?"

"Yes." He handed the box to Yanyi, with a pun in a shy voice, "I'm Yoshikawa. Changyan-san, please give me your advice in the future."

As soon as Yan took the box, his expression didn't move at all: "Please take care of me in the future."

After a few short conversations, Yoshikawa left the hall.He's definitely trained because once you're in a crowd, it's hard to find or keep your eyes on him.Yan Yi stood in the hall with a pastry box in his hand, feeling that the item in his hand was no different from a bomb.

For this reason, he decided to hand over the "bomb" to Li immediately.

As soon as he turned around, the guard who overheard the conversation just now because he was standing relatively close said casually: "Chang Yansang, are you going to find Master Li? She just went out with Master Madara."

Date Madara?Yan, who has been influenced by magazines for a long time, subconsciously distorts this normal sentence into an act full of...But in the next second, he remembered that one of the subjects was his own boss, so he restored the semantics to the original state without hesitation.

"Thank you."

"do not mind."

To no avail, Yan Yi took the box back to his room.Speaking of which, as soon as Hashirama left, all the dealings with Madara were piled up on Li.

******

About half an hour later, Li's figure reappeared in the suite.Seeing the pastry box that Yan Yi received, she opened it to have a look, then closed the lid and handed it to Yan Yi: "I heard that you have been staying up all night recently, take it to the small meeting room."

"Yes." Yan Yi took the box, "If you have nothing else to do, I won't bother you."

According to Li's personality, at this time she would simply allow her assistant to leave or directly explain the next thing.But this time, she frowned slightly, looked at a certain place in the room, and remained silent for a while.

After Yan Yi had started to think about all kinds of possible situations, she spoke very slowly: "The law and order in the Fire City is not good recently." Then, after some consideration, "Prince Nei's side is fine, if It's something else... it's better to be cautious."

There was no beginning or end to this sentence, but Yan Yi understood it all at once.He immediately said: "Yes, I understand."

"Well, let's go."

Walking out of the room, Yan Yi sighed inwardly.How long will it be over to deal with the upper level of the Fire Nation?

As soon as he raised his head, he immediately understood the precision of one of the Chinese proverbs - Zhizheng, one of the upper strata, was standing in front of him expressionlessly.

Yan Yi hurriedly prepared to salute, but was interrupted before his knees bent: "Where is Qianshouli?"

"In the room, big..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhizheng bypassed him and walked straight to Li's suite, he seemed to know which room he was going to.Seeing his unhesitating actions, Yan Yi's heart sank.

——Who is his eyes in the delegation?

Watching Zhizheng walk into the room, Yan Yi knew that it was useless to stand here, so he planned to distribute the cakes to several assistants first.Before going downstairs, he took a special look at the hall and the gate - Zhizheng didn't bring any entourage.

The famous son did not stay long.After signing a few words in the small conference room, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Yan Yi saw that Li had sent Zhizheng to the door.Just like when he was entertaining Wanning, Li had a gentle and polite smile on his face; like Wanning at that time, Zhizheng's expression was not happy.

After saying a few more words at the door, Zhizheng turned around and left—it has to be said that in the royal family, which is extremely particular about etiquette, this is already considered a disrespectful behavior.

He left, but Li's smile did not fade away.After watching the other party leave, she suddenly turned around and walked to the rear right—at some point, Madara was already standing there.After talking for a few more words, the two walked into the gate side by side.

Yan pursed her lips, seeing Cai Zhizheng's expression, it seemed that this meeting was not very pleasant.And from ending the conversation in such a short period of time, it was simply chasing people away instead of talking, Madara seemed to be paying attention to the situation...

A thought suddenly flashed in Yan Yi's mind, but he immediately denied it.It is unreasonable to speculate without evidence to back it up.he said to himself.

Just when he got rid of his thoughts and was about to continue working on the documents, a message from Li brought him back to the suite he left not long ago.

Pushing open the door, he found that Li's face was solemn, and the sneer on Daddy's lips hadn't come off.Yan Yi knew very early on that Li's self-cultivation is very good, even if he encounters the most rude people or things, he seldom expresses his thoughts directly on his face.It doesn't matter whether she has a city or is considerate, in short, when she puts the expression on her face clearly, what happens will not be a trivial matter.

"Sit down." Hearing the sound of the door, Li adjusted his expression and signaled.

Yan took a look at Madara standing by the window, saluted before sitting down.

"Zhizheng Hall came over just now, you should have seen it too?"

"Yes." Yan Yi slightly lowered his head, looking at several pen holders on the desk.

"Changyan, you have been in the Zhibu Hall for a while, whether it is in fact or in the eyes of outsiders, you are a member of the Zhibu Hall." She said softly, "Actually, I didn't want you to know so much. If you know too much, it will inevitably make you worry. But now, there are some things that must be told to you. They didn't get any benefit from us, and they may start with you next."

Yan Yi was not surprised - he had vaguely expected this kind of thing since April's appearance.

"The political arena in the Land of Fire is not very stable now. There are two people vying for the right to inherit the title of daimyo, and there are still many people watching with cold eyes, or ready to move," Li said in a calm tone. She did not specify the identity of the other party, but she was present. Everyone can understand, "Because of historical reasons, we have a better relationship with one person, but this undoubtedly gave other people an illusion, and some people even tried to force the village to cooperate with him; in order to achieve his goal, Master Hashirama has been taken away by him Yes. The meeting is still four days away, but we have confirmed that we will return early in three days. Therefore, these three days are also the most important." She looked at Yan Yi, "You have always been smart."

"Yes." Yan Yi also understood what it means to force several leaders to return to the village early, "I know what to do."

"That's good..." As soon as Li's voice fell, Madara's cold voice came out: "From now on, if people from April come over, say that Li can't be here."

Yan glanced at Li and said, "Yes."

Closing his eyes, he rubbed his temples.Seeing her movements, Madara suddenly sneered and said, "Those people are probably relying on their own identities. They are intriguing all day long, if you really want them to be serious, I'm afraid they can only..."

"...Okay, Madara..." Li Qianqian sighed, "The next three days..."

"...whatever you want." Madara changed his tone, "April leaves the Fire City the day after tomorrow, and before that, I won't be able to cause much trouble with my little ability."

Yan Yi leaned slightly, and asked: "Master Li, has the news of leaving the day after tomorrow been announced?" Before, no matter whether it was the early return trip or Zhu Jian's departure, there was no news from the outside world.

"No," Li said without hesitation, "There is no need to announce it."

The boss is the boss after all.Yan Yi thought in his heart.

Madara walked to Li's side and said, "I want to say something to the other people."

"That's right, it's impossible not to tell everyone about Mr. Hashirama." Li's face returned to his usual gentle smile, "Let's go together. Chang Yan, you go back first and come to me at night."

"Yes."

"Then, let's not keep them waiting."

"Ah."

Yan Yi stood in the office, looking at the backs of Li and Madara walking away hand in hand.A war that belongs to them is about to start soon.
