When Josephine Joffre returned to the mansion, the first thing she faced was the stinky face of her old housekeeper.

"Miss, may I take the liberty of asking where you went after leaving the guards?"

Josephine responded without changing her expression: "My fiancé is strong enough to ensure my safety, and I don't like to have other people around when I'm chirping."

"Miss……"

Seeing the old housekeeper's preaching look, Josephine added decisively: "Besides, I just went to visit the Tesla Cannon today. You can't expect Mr. Lin Youde to have no reservations about my escort, can you?"

When he heard that the young lady had visited the Tesla Cannon, the old housekeeper's eyes immediately flashed. How could Josephine not notice this? In fact, she had long suspected that all her followers were members of the French intelligence agency, but she didn't.

Just confirm the method - Josephine didn't bother to confirm this.

"You went to visit that top-secret weapon?"

"Well, at a very close distance." Josephine nodded, "That's really amazing."

Even if she married Lin Youde, Josephine did not intend to break her vow. After getting engaged to Lin Youde, she had been worrying about how to balance her loyalty to the motherland and her loyalty to her friends. The kiss she had just had with Lin Youde made her

The loyalty of friends began to evolve into loyalty to their partners, which should have troubled Josephine even more. But in fact, it was just the opposite. On the carriage returning from the power distribution station, Josephine figured it out.

Making full use of his position to mediate the relationship between the Nanyang Army and France, who are ambitious to unify China, and seeking benefits for France on the premise of recognizing the future Lin Empire, this is the task of Josephine Joffre. In this world

Under the premise, a certain degree of flexibility is allowed.

For example, now, Josephine will never lie to her motherland. This is the oath she made when she became a knight, and she has never thought of breaking this oath.

Although the difference between the two completely different statements "Tesla Cannon is an amazing hoax" and "Tesla Cannon is an amazing weapon" is huge, they are the same in terms of "shocking".

Josephine Joffre did not lie to her motherland. If the old housekeeper continued to ask, "Is it amazing because it is so powerful or because it is nothing at all?", then Josephine was prepared to answer truthfully.

It's a pity that the old housekeeper didn't ask.

In this way, Josephine shifted the responsibility to the old butler, and she still abided by the oath of chivalry perfectly. If it were any other person, this behavior would only be characterized as rogue and cunning, but when it comes to Josephine, it can only be

It makes people shake their heads and lament that this girl's character is so horribly contradictory.

After getting rid of the thoughts that had been troubling her for the past few days, the pure white knight lady was obviously in a very comfortable mood. She did not even look at the complicated-looking butler, but smiled unconsciously, stretched out her body, and gave casual orders.

Said: "I want to take a bath. Today's bath water will use violet essence. Let's make dinner a little richer."

**

On the other hand, Lin Youde was also in a pretty good mood.

A man will also feel happy when he hugs a beautiful woman. It turns out that Lin Youde's golden fingers have side effects on talented and powerful girls, and Josephine is the best example. It is said that the two of them have experienced many romantic scenes in the past few years.

They were young, they admired each other closely, and the girl was a passionate Spanish-French person. According to the performance of various girls in French literature of this era, something should have happened a long time ago. But Josephine bluntly challenged

Ming she felt that the relationship between the two was just that of a lover above Youda, but Lin Youde was actually quite discouraged at that time, and asking Johnnie To to send out the official marriage proposal was indeed a bit venting in it.

Now that the barrier caused by the plug-in has been breached, how could Lin Youde be unhappy?…

Strangely enough, when he was with Josephine, Lin Youde didn't have any special thoughts. Now that they were separated, Lin Youde couldn't help but fantasize about pushing Josephine down in the future. Those breasts, that small waist,

Those beautiful legs, even Lin Youde, who has already achieved the goal of killing a thousand people in this world, can't help but feel in awe.

More importantly, from various aspects of her performance, it is inferred that Josephine was still a virgin, and perhaps she had never even tried masturbating on her own.

The more he thought like this, the more restless Lin Youde became. Lin Ji's big shopkeeper, the spiritual leader and great mentor of the Nanyang Army was now just a prisoner of hormones.

Fortunately, Lin Youde's embarrassing state did not last long. Only he and God were aware of it. When Lin Youde stepped into the door of the study, he was the shrewd, capable and far-sighted shopkeeper Lin again.

As soon as Lin Youde sat down in the study, Ba came in with documents.

"This is the work report sent by each department."

Just like what Lin Youde said to Josephine, the reports submitted by Lin Ji's various departments, when they finally reached Lin Youde's hands, all that was left was this kind of work log-like running report, which only recorded the investigation conclusions and solutions to the problems.

As a result, the more detailed matters were all handled by specific functional personnel and would not be reported to Lin Youde.

Of course, Lin Youde will still read these logs carefully and mark items that he thinks need to be reviewed personally, and then more detailed files will be sent to him.

Needless to say, Balai is responsible for these secretarial tasks, but now Balai is also responsible for managing the Japanese overseas in Horanggabo. The number of leftists exiled from Japan is increasing every month, and they all bring their families with them. The resettlement of new immigrants

, the expansion of the expatriate community and other issues basically have to be coordinated by Ba to coordinate with Lin Ji's various departments. Ba's ability is indeed not mentioned, but she is unable to do all the work - in Lin Youde's view, she feels a bit too busy.

Especially now, some radical young people among the Japanese overseas, stimulated by Tesla's cannons, have begun to demand the establishment of a Nanyang Army and a national restoration detachment, and to use force to defeat the military dogs who murdered Emperor Ji and stole the country. Corresponding to the young people, a group of

The elders of the Aizu clan clamored to kill all the reform pigs and restore Yamato orthodoxy.

The young people imitated the Nanyang Army, wearing gray uniforms, while the old men and uncles all wore light green Shinsengumi uniforms. The sight of them walking together on the street even made Lin Youde ache.

Previously, Lin Youde was only interested in the skills brought by these immigrants. There were not too many doctors and craftsmen in Lin Youde, so he drew an area for them to live in. Who knew that more and more people were coming over?

They are all raising families. Now it seems that it is time to seriously sort out and integrate this group of people.

The best person to do this is undoubtedly Lin Youde's confidant Yukiyoba - the former Miyazaki Tonzou. At this moment, even she may have almost forgotten her real name.

Lin Youde was thinking in his mind that when Josephine officially joined Lin Youde's small book and became a staff member - it was probably a matter of time - then he would let his fiancée replace Ba as his confidential secretary and bodyguard, and then use Ba as his

Core establishes a department dedicated to immigration issues.

At this moment, Lin Youde suddenly remembered the conversation he had just had with Josephine on the carriage.

So he raised his head and looked at Ba, who was quietly waiting for Lin Youde to review the documents.

"Hey, Ba," Lin Youde thought about it for a moment, "you have been wronged about this marriage."

"Why did you say that?"

When Ba spoke, his voice trembled slightly.

It's a pity that Lin Youde didn't notice this subtle change. Originally, he would say this just because of a conversation with Josephine. He didn't think it was necessary, or in other words, he believed too much in the relationship he and Ba had established over the years.

There is a tacit understanding...

In short, Lin Youde still said in a normal tone: "Originally, the title of head wife belonged to you, but now I can only take you in as a concubine."

As soon as these words came out, even Lin Youde finally noticed Ba's wavering.

"You mean...this...Miss Xiafei, don't you mind?"

Lin Youde looked at Ba's face, which was obviously in a state of confusion, and he was stunned for a long time with his mouth wide open before he said: "Just now, didn't you think that what I was going to say was, 'From now on, we are just masters and slaves' or something like that."

?”

Tomoe took a deep breath, and then she straightened up her expression at an astonishing speed. Yamato Nadeshiko had to remain calm and remain calm, intelligent and considerate at all times. It was obvious that Tomoe's cultivation was not yet complete.

"Isn't this a matter of course? Don't Christian countries practice monogamy?"

"Yes, but as the saying goes, when you are in the country, do as the Romans do." Lin Youde stood up as he spoke, stretched out his hand to pull Bala into his arms, and blocked the girl's "but" with the next words, "Besides, this topic is about an appointment.

Sephen mentioned it first. She had already noticed that we were in love, so she asked me what I was going to do. I told her directly that I was planning to marry you as my wife, but now I have to take you in as my concubine. Then you

Guess what, the girl persuaded me to tell you my decision as soon as I came back. She also said, "It's definitely better to let her cry in front of you than to hide and cry secretly by herself." Then I said, when you are not so fragile,

She still glared at me, I really couldn’t understand what she was thinking...Ba?"

After hearing the sniffling sound, Lin Youde stopped talking and wanted to distance himself a little from the girl to check her expression. Unexpectedly, the girl used the power of Shen Ji to stick to Lin Youde, and her whole face was buried in Lin Youde.

His chest was motionless.

However, the moist feeling coming through her thin top still betrayed her.

Lin Youde gently stroked Ba's back, sighed, and muttered: "You... If you do this, I doubt whether I will be able to be cruel enough to send you to the battlefield when the war breaks out."

**

All in all, Lin Youde's first step on the road to independence was taken without any danger.

Originally, Lin Youde thought that with this momentum, at least there would be more harmony and love between the two of them. But he soon discovered that he was wrong.

"Miss Josephine, these are Japanese snacks, please be sure to try them." After Ba finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Youde.

Lin Youde obediently translated her words to Josephine - before, as long as Josephine was present, she would never speak unless necessary, but now she suddenly spoke more, and they were all directed to Josephine, and

All are in Japanese.

"Well, thank you. I like this magical taste very much."

After Josephine finished speaking, she looked at Lin Youde, so Lin Youde obediently translated her words into Japanese.

Lin Youde is so depressed. Even if he is regarded as a translator, why does he look at me like a demonstration every time he finishes speaking? Damn it! Isn’t it super embarrassing to be sandwiched between you two?

At this time, the door of the tea room opened with a clang. When Sophie saw Lin Youde, her eyes lit up and she stepped in. But as soon as she opened her mouth, her whole movements stopped as if frozen.

The little girl stared at the three people in the room suspiciously for a millisecond, then decisively took back her foot that had entered the room, closed the door and left.

After being abandoned by his daughter, Lin Youde sighed and accepted his fate.
