Qi Xiaotong remembers very clearly that when his father was still the prefect of Qiongzhou, he received a favor from the then Queen Su Liu.
And that thing is surprisingly just an ordinary glass mirror.
Speaking of this, there is still some humor in it.
At that time, glass mirrors were still a scarce item, so naturally, they became more valuable when they were rare. Wu Wanrong, who was good at flattery, followed the fashion and collected some to pay tribute to the palace.
What the Empress Dowager gave at that time was one of those tributes.
It can be seen that the early version of the glass mirror did exist in the imperial palace, but it did not exist in Goryeo.
Looking at it now, isn't it incredible that that version of things has appeared here?
Could it be said that Li Hongyu brought it here?
If we look into it carefully, this possibility does exist.
Su Liu is Li Hongyu's biological mother, and it is reasonable for her mother to give her son something. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that this is something left behind today.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaotong couldn't help but trembled in her heart: Could it be that that was where the emperor was imprisoned?
To confirm whether this is true or not, further investigation is required.
However, before exploring, you should first understand its surrounding geographical environment.
Naturally, the Shi brothers held nothing back and tried their best to describe it as vividly as possible.
Qi Xiaotong took out a pen and paper and sketched while listening. Soon, he drew a very close topographic map.
She has been practicing painting with Qi Yu since she was a child. Although she is not up to everyone else's level, her basic skills are pretty solid. Therefore, her painting is quite good.
From the "bird's eye view" of the map, it is easy to see that this place is indeed extremely dangerous.
Especially the 'only passage' is a realistic representation of 'one man can block it and ten thousand men can't open it'.
The conclusion is: if you want to take action here, it will be extremely difficult.
Even if it’s difficult, you have to do it because you have no choice.
Next, it’s a matter of how to conduct the test.
"I plan to invite the King of Korea to go hunting in the countryside, and the location will be around this place. If he readily agrees, it means that this place is an ordinary granary or a defensive military outpost. However, if he declines,
Or changed the place, which means there is something hidden here that he doesn't want us to see. Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with Li Hongyu."
"The advantage of doing this is that we can get what we want without alerting the enemy." Junquge
In the senses of the Shi brothers, Qi Xiaotong was definitely a god-like existence, and he had absolutely no second thoughts other than obeying his advice.
However, this strategy is indeed very convincing.
People can always get the information they urgently need inadvertently. For this alone, I don’t know how many times I have to outsmart myself.
After the discussion was over, Xiaotong immediately began to write a letter and prepare to pay homage to the King of Goryeo again.
However, just as he started writing, he heard a guard coming to report that Jin Liufu, the imperial master of Korea, wanted to see him.
Huh? Why is he here?
Qi Xiaotong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then walked out to greet him.
When I left the apartment, I saw that the other party came with a gift this time.
Oh, why has your attitude changed?
In any case, the visitor is a guest, so we should first serve him tea and then wait.
Therefore, after exchanging a few words, Xiaotong immediately let him into the living room.
Unexpectedly, Jin Liufu actually took the initiative to sit in the lower corner.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the president's style is even better than before. Although the beauty doesn't wear pink or flowers, she is a thousand times better than Chang'e in the Moon Palace."
"The Great Imperial Master is over-reputed. My little sister, I am vulgar and pretty, and I have the beauty of a plum blossom or a willow tree. How can I compare to the charming Chang'e?"
Today, you not only come to deliver gifts, but your mouth has also become much sweeter.
These phenomena are not ordinary abnormalities!
In the past, although they treated each other with courtesy, it was a false politeness from business to business. From beginning to end, there was never any personal contact. This time, it was unprecedented.
Nine times out of ten, the other party is asking for something, otherwise, there would never be such a big change.
Therefore, Xiaotong asked with vigilance but displeasure: "I wonder what the Imperial Master has to say when he comes here."
"I don't take advice seriously. This is just an ordinary visit."
As soon as this statement came out, Jin Liufu seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so he changed his explanation and said: "I came here today firstly because I want to give a return gift to President Qi, and secondly, I want to talk about some personal matters by the way."
Qi Xiaotong was shocked when he heard this and asked: "What kind of gift did you get in return? What was the discussion about?"
Jin Liufu laughed and said one by one: "Previously, your envoy Mr. Huang met with me on your behalf. The etiquette he brought was quite expensive, which made me deeply uneasy. From the perspective of courtesy,
You must respond appropriately, otherwise, it will be rude."
"It's just a local specialty, but it makes the great master laugh. The return gift is too much, and I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it." Qi Xiaotong replied seemingly unconcerned.
"However, absolutely! We, Goryeo, are a country of etiquette and respect for Confucianism. How can we do something impolite?" Jin Liufu quickly made a 'correction'.
Qi Xiaotong nodded and smiled and said: "In that case, the little lady would be disrespectful." After saying that, she then asked: "I wonder what the private matter that the great master said is?"
Hearing this, Jin Liufu couldn't help but smile.
However, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out a Huazi brand cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself skillfully.
After he blew out a big smoke ring, he said with a comfortable expression: "To be honest, President Qi, Jin and I have been particularly obsessed with cigarettes made in Qiongzhou recently. If I don't smoke for one day, I feel uncomfortable all over my body."
.So, I have a gracious request, and I would like to ask you to help me collect some. The so-called private matters, nothing more!"
Um??
Looking at his appearance, could it be...
Tsk tsk, the flowers planted with intention will not bloom, but willows will provide shade without intention.
I had deliberately planned to let the King of Korea fall in love with this good thing, but I never thought that I would accidentally fall on Jin Liufu.
It’s true that plans don’t change quickly!
However, this unexpected change also provided another feasible idea for Qi Xiaotong's next layout.
It can be regarded as a good breakthrough point.
If you 'control' Jinliufu, it is equivalent to controlling half of the king of Goryeo. No matter what you do, it will become much easier.
Yes, let's use him as a breakthrough point and make a detailed plan around it.
Who knows, there will be unexpected surprises.
Didn't he want to collect cigarettes?
This is a good trading chip and must be used. This chapter has been completed!
