Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and looked at the beauty's light eyes that were once again full of expectation, changed into a comfortable posture and leaned on the chair.
"Xingye, today is the day of the imperial court. Before I came to you, I just came out of the palace.
Not only did I feel the respect that your Japanese mission showed to me and to Dalong, but all the civil and military officials in the court also felt it.
It can be said that I, as well as all the civil and military officials, have a very good impression of your Japanese mission.
Regarding the matter of rewarding your Japanese mission with well-equipped troops, I had discussed it in detail with several important officials in the court before leaving the palace."
Sakai Hoshino sat on the chair next to Liu Mingzhi, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his eyes a little excited, but also vaguely uneasy.
"Hmm, what's the result? What's the result?"
After talking for so long, Liu Mingzhi felt that his mouth and tongue were a little dry, so he moved his shoulders and reached out to pick up the tea on the table.
"Hoshino, didn't this tea stay overnight?"
Sakai Hoshino quickly waved his hand, stood up and walked to Liu Mingzhi.
"I didn't stay overnight, I didn't stay overnight, this is the tea Hoshino prepared just in the morning.
It’s just that Hoshino has already drank this cup of tea, so Hoshino will pour you another cup.”
As the beauty spoke, she stretched out her hand to take the tea cup from Liu Mingzhi's hand.
Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi cleverly avoided the beauty's movements, took the opportunity to hold the beauty's waist that could only be grasped, and gently held her on his lap.
"It's okay. You just drank it. I can still despise you. It's not like someone else drank it..."
Liu Mingzhi replied nonchalantly, put the tea directly into his mouth, and then put the teacup back on the table.
Sakai Hoshino saw that Liu Mingzhi had drank all the tea and said nothing more.
She lowered her head and glanced at Liu Mingzhi's hands tightly holding her waist. She leaned sideways and silently nestled on Liu Mingzhi's shoulders, and a pair of slender arms naturally wrapped around his neck.
"Liu Jun, please continue."
"Actually, there is nothing that needs to be stated one by one, but since you are looking forward to it so much, Hoshino, I will give you some reassurance.
Before leaving the palace, I have ordered several important officials in the court to give you a final answer in three days."
The beauty straightened her waist, and the uneasiness deep in her eyes slowly disappeared, and her face suddenly became full of smiles.
"Three days? Just wait three more days?"
"Yes, just wait three more days.
After three days, the court will give you a final result."
Sakai Hoshino couldn't help but let go of the slender jade fingers holding Liu Dashao's neck, patted him hard, and smiled gratefully at Liu Mingzhi with his pretty face.
"Great, great. He'er and Mr. Shiqiao finally don't have to wait aimlessly anymore."
Liu Mingzhi saw the joyful and excited look on the beauty's pretty face, and he picked up the cloud gauze ribbon around her waist and played with it gently.
"Hoshino."
"Hey~, Mr. Liu, tell me."
The business of Dalong's mission this time is about to be settled, and the heavy burden in the beauty's heart has finally been lifted.
When he heard Young Master Liu calling his name, his answering voice was much lighter and more delicate.
"I can indeed give you an accurate answer in three days. However, aren't you afraid that the final result will not be the one you want?"
The beauty's face was slightly filled with joy, she pursed her red lips and was silent for a moment, then nodded to Young Master Liu with a calm expression.
"Scared! Very scared!"
"Since you are scared, why are you still so happy? Aren't you worried that you will be extremely happy and sad in the future?"
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino told you a few days ago that if the result is not satisfactory, at least He'er and Mr. Ishibashi still have time to think of another solution.
In addition to the way you rewarded our mission with military equipment, Mr. Liu, maybe the two of them can find other ways to help their brother in crisis.
As long as it doesn't fall completely into despair, it means there is still hope for everything."
Sakai Hoshino breathed in the fragrance gently, sat up straight in Liu Mingzhi's arms, and looked at him quietly with a solemn expression.
"Jun Liu, no matter what the outcome is in three days, I will face it bravely.
Even if it is not the result Hoshino wants, I will accept it.
It is better to have results than to continue waiting aimlessly.
Hoshino, to be honest with you, Hoshino is very afraid that the final result will not be what I want.
I'm afraid, Mr. Liu, that if you deny our mission's request, the family will be precarious due to the combination of the royal army and the Goguryeo army because it does not have the support of sophisticated military equipment.
He was afraid that his brother would be defeated step by step under the attack of the enemy, and in the end he would be in danger because he was waiting for no help.
I am even more afraid that my brother will lose his ancestral inheritance and be unable to think about it for a while, and his life will be in danger.
I am also afraid of losing my home and becoming homeless.
However, no matter how scared you are, you still have to face it after all.”
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty's pretty face that was both happy and slightly sad. He frowned slightly and let out a breath, and cursed Kazuko Sakai in his heart.
If Kazuko Sakai, a bastard, hadn't told Hoshino the truth, why would Hoshino be here worrying about him.
For a moment, Liu Mingzhi almost couldn't help but tell the stupid woman in his arms the truth about Sakai Kazuko's current situation.
Let her know what the situation of her brother, whom she has been worried about, is going on at this moment.
This will make her less worried and more happy.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Mingzhi finally held it back.
If Kazuko Sakai knew that she had known his true situation, the things he planned later might also be affected.
In this case, we might as well let him continue to expand.
I have been coveting those silver mountains in Japan for a long time.
No, it should be said that it is not just the silver mountains of the Japanese country, but the entire territory of the Japanese country.
In other words, all the territories in the world are within his own expectations.
The ambition in one’s own heart.
It has never been just the so-called Heavenly Kingdom, and all nations come to the Kingdom.
Now that things have reached this stage, no matter how entangled I am, I have to hold it back.
No matter what, don't lose big for small things.
"Hoshino."
The beautiful woman suppressed her melancholy, cheered up, and continued to look at Liu Mingzhi with a smile.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"How about I tell you some good news?"
"Huh? What's the good news?"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and moved towards the beauty's delicate red lips with a smile.
"I'm going to tell you some good news, Hoshino, won't you express your gratitude?"
When Sakai Hoshino saw Mr. Liu's movements, he subconsciously dodged back.
Even though she had already married as a woman and became someone else's wife.
Even though she has reached the age that Dalong custom considers a mature lady, and has passed the age of first love.
Even though she had had skin-to-skin contact with Liu Jun several times, she still couldn't help but feel her heart tremble and her face turn red when faced with such an intimate teasing from him.
This kind of feeling is what I want, but it is something I cannot face calmly.
"No, Mr. Liu, you are so bad, you only know how to bully me."
"If you really don't mean it, then I won't say it."
"Are you sure? Is this really good news?"
"If you don't believe it, forget it. I'll save myself wasting my breath."
