In my impression, Mrs. Huang is an authentic country woman. Although she has gained some knowledge in recent years, she still has a biting and petty attitude in her heart, and lacks tact in her words and deeds.
It is conceivable that a person with her temperament can still collect any good tea leaves?
Therefore, Qi Yu put a big question mark on this.
Sure enough, Qi Dalang just touched his lips lightly and tasted the poor quality of the tea.
Very, very bad tasting.
Seeing this, Liu Quan said helplessly and amusedly: "She is really a stupid woman. She just doesn't know how to do big things. She can even do small things like buying tea. She is really useless.
of wood!”
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "Actually, there are not many people who understand tea in reality, so it is common to not be able to buy the real thing, so why should we worry about it? In my opinion, no matter it is good tea or bad tea,
, these are all people’s thoughts, and you should be grateful.”
"You said it was her intention? Oh, no!" Liu Quan shook his head and corrected: "In fact, she sent the tea because she felt a little guilty."
Guilt?
how do I say this?
Liu Quan didn't hide anything, and directly told Liu Jincheng in detail about the gold paintings and jade clothes with gold threads.
Finally, she emphasized that Huang did not follow her brother's instructions before leaving, so she felt a little guilty. Her purpose of sending these tea leaves was to show her good will, and she begged Qi Yu not to dig into it, so as not to affect him.
to Liu Jincheng’s official career.
In terms of what Huang did, he was almost a clown. Even Liu Quan couldn't help but smile when he recounted it, but when Qi Yu heard it, he was shocked.
"not good!"
"What's wrong?"
"Harry, this guy deliberately stole the map. He must be hiding some unknown secret."
"..."
Due to the emergency, Qi Yu was no longer in the mood to drink tea. What's more, the tea didn't taste good at all.
He hurriedly sent someone out to summon Huang Fei and asked him to come over to his house to discuss matters.
Don't lean too much, the latter will rush to you.
"I wonder why you called me?"
"Sit down first and listen to me. As for me, I want you to go to Java and Sarawak to check if Harry and his party are there." Qi Yu got straight to the point and said straightforwardly.
"Since the Lord has given the order, Huang is naturally obligated. However, the sea is so vast, why does the Lord choose to inspect these two places alone?" Huang Fei nodded first, and then asked curiously.
"Don't worry, just listen to my explanation."
"Sir, please speak."
Qi Yu straightened his expression and said solemnly: "I know Harry's ability and character quite well. Although he is good at teachings, he does not understand business. Therefore, his purpose of going to sea is not to make money, but to go abroad.
Expand his missionary cause. Over the years, his ideals and beliefs have never changed, I am very sure of this."
As the saying goes, there is a specialization in skills. This old saying is applicable to both China and foreign countries, and Harry, who is a foreigner, is no exception.
The motive for his departure was most likely what Qi Yu said was missionary.
In fact, it is true that except for his excellent brainwashing skills, he is mediocre in other aspects. Even if you give him a business for free, he will not be able to expand the business.
After a pause, Qi Yu said again: "Compared to before, Harry is getting more and more cunning now. You see, he took advantage of my attack on Luzon to buy merchant ships. It was obvious that he was avoiding me on purpose. From this, he took advantage of me to attack Luzon to buy merchant ships.
, I can basically conclude that after he got the boat, he would definitely choose to leave immediately to avoid my interrogation and exploration; otherwise, he would not have deliberately sought out the navigation map."
Well, the analysis makes sense!
Huang Fei nodded and asked again: "My lord, I haven't explained yet why you are only investigating Java and Sarawak."
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Originally, I had no clue about the investigation of this matter, let alone where to start, but a strange thing that happened before reminded me."
"What's weird?"
"At the end of the fierce battle between Duan Zicheng and Fuxi, a mysterious ship suddenly docked in Luzon, and then rescued the defeated Fuxi. Do you think this is strange? Before that, I
I often think hard to figure out who the owner is behind this big ship. Now that I heard that Harry spent a lot of money to buy a ship, I can't help but connect the two."
Huang Fei was startled when he heard this and asked: "Master Qi, do you mean that it was Harry who rescued Fuxi?"
"That's right! Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else." Qi Yu replied with certainty.
"Um……"
"Although this land in Nanyang is large, its geography is not complicated. Let's list them one by one and analyze them first. Let's talk about Luzon first. This is my jurisdiction. Harry will never go there. Then only the neighboring Sarawak is left.
, and the country of Java further west. I think Lao Ha will be very fond of these two places."
Huang Fei disagreed with this. He said, "Your Majesty, are you too confident in what you say? Maybe, Harry has already gone to South America according to the route to the East Ocean on the map..."
"South America? This is impossible!"
Qi Yu laughed and explained in detail: "The ships used by Qiongzhou to go to the East Ocean before were huge treasure ships built by the imperial court. After they were fully loaded with supplies, they could last for three years. This was a necessary condition for going on ocean voyages.
One; and the ship Harry purchased was a medium-sized merchant ship. Although it could also sail in deep seas, it was far from the level of a cross-ocean trek. Therefore, his destination could never be distant South America. On the other hand, it was not very clear.
As far away as Java and Sarawak, it is quite possible."
oh……
I see!
Huang Fei received his order and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Qi Yu calling him, "Brother Huang, wait a moment, I have something else to ask you."
"Sir, please speak!"
"Brother Huang, if you encounter Harry here, you must not harm his life; but if you encounter Fuxi, you must kill him at all costs. This man is a politician in exile. He will not be eliminated for one day, and he will make a comeback."
Hidden worries cannot be eliminated." Qi Yu warned with a serious face.
"got it!"
"..."
After the explanation, Huang Fei took the order and left.
However, before leaving for a long journey, he specially took out a whole night to study archery skills in the newly opened 'Wenxiang Pavilion'.
It is said that this is an arrangement that Master Qi asked Tan Junyan to make secretly, saying that the brothel would give him face and give back to new and old customers, ten times for free, and so on.
Is this...a bribe of some kind?
Pretty much the same!
Just imagine, shouldn't Huang Fei turn a blind eye after receiving favors from Master Qi?
As the saying goes, eating someone else's mouth is short, taking someone else's hand is short, but what about sleeping with someone else?
Ahem...
…
The next day, as dawn broke, Qi Yu hurried to the government office and summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.
Today’s topic is none other than discussing the expedition to Dawan.
Originally, this matter should have been discussed immediately after returning yesterday, but who would have thought that the rhythm was disrupted by Andre's visit, so it was delayed for a day.
Back to business.
Qi Dalang first explained the military information obtained for everyone's reference.
According to the information obtained, Qiongzhou's current strength has surpassed that of the opponent. If they concentrate their firepower and launch an attack, there will be no problem in taking over Dawan.
However, Qi Yu did not dare to go out in full force.
why?
What if, I mean what if, Annan took advantage of the vacancy after his troops were sent out to attack suddenly, wouldn't his own backyard be on fire?
Therefore, we must retain some of our strength to suppress the rear and beware of unexpected events.
In addition to the slight shortage in military strength, there are also some shortcomings in talent.
According to the original plan, Gao Zhongde was going to Luzon County to train the army there. As a result, the only military talent under his command was Fu Xian.
In other words, in this expedition, either he will go out personally, or Fu Xian will carry the flag. No matter which one is chosen, one person must be left to guard Qiongzhou.
