Sakai Hoshino pursed his red lips and pondered for a moment, seeming to be sorting out his thoughts.
After the tea time passed, Sakai Hoshino took a sip of his own tea and looked up at Young Master Liu with a deep sense of longing in his watery eyes.
"Mr. Liu, the reason why Hoshino is anxious to see you as soon as possible is because he hopes that Mr. Liu can reward us, the Japanese country, with some of the military equipment of your Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty."
Young Master Liu suddenly paused in shaking the jade fan, and looked thoughtfully at Sakai Hoshino, whose face was full of pleading.
"What? I didn't hear clearly, Hoshino, can you say it again?"
Although Sakai Hoshino didn't know whether Liu Mingzhi really didn't hear clearly or pretended not to hear clearly, he still repeated what he just said.
"Mr. Liu, Xingye is anxious to see you. He hopes that Mr. Liu can reward us with some dragon weapons."
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a moment, and did not immediately agree to Sakai Hoshino's request, nor did he reject her request decisively. Instead, he asked softly: "Hoshino, I think you should understand that military preparation is not a trivial matter.
!Can you tell me why you want me to reward you with Japanese military equipment?"
When Sakai Hoshino heard Young Master Liu's inquiry, he nodded without hesitation: "Mr. Liu, my brother Kazuko Sakai is in big trouble now and is in urgent need of a group of sophisticated soldiers to tide over this difficulty.
Although Hoshino doesn't know much about military preparations, he also knows that Dalong's military preparations are the most powerful and the most general of all countries in the world.
When Hoshino was still in Japan, his brother told me more than once that Dalong's military equipment was the best he had ever seen.
Mr. Liu, brother Hoshino is facing a situation that is full of crises. He was forced to send a mission to Dalong Celestial Dynasty for help.
When my brother was about to send Sakai Ga as an envoy to Dalong to seek help, Hoshino overheard the incident outside the door when he was going to bring them tea.
My brother said that if there was anyone in the world who could help him get through this difficult time, it would be none other than the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, and none other than Liu Jun, your Majesty the Great Dragon Emperor.
Hoshino was just a teacher who taught Japanese people the culture and knowledge of Dalong. After learning about the crisis his brother was facing, even though he wanted to help him, he was powerless.
The last time Sakai He came back from the Dalong Mission, he told Hoshino about meeting Mr. Liu in Dalong during his spare time.
It was at that time that Hoshino realized that after so many years, Mr. Liu, you had become the Emperor of the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty.
Hoshino knew about his brother's critical situation, but was unable to help him solve anything, so Hoshino thought of you, Mr. Liu.
After Hoshino waited until his retainers had left, he took the initiative to ask Ying to propose to his brother that he would follow the Japanese delegation to come to Dalong Celestial Dynasty for help.
After careful consideration, my brother had no other choice but to agree to Hoshino's request.
Mr. Liu, brother, he really needs the excellent military equipment of Dalong to tide over the difficulties. I hope Jun Liu will reward our Japanese country with some military equipment of Dalong out of the kindness of our friends."
As Sakai Hoshino spoke, two lines of clear tears suddenly fell from his beautiful eyes, dripping down his cheeks and onto the table in front of him.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino really has no choice, Hoshino begs you.
Please help Hoshino, please help Hoshino’s brother.”
Sakai Hoshino's sudden appearance of tears made Liu Mingzhi instinctively frown slightly. Seeing her somewhat helpless expression, Liu Mingzhi closed his folding fan and sighed softly.
However, even if this happened, Liu Mingzhi still did not immediately agree to Sakai Hoshino's marriage proposal.
I have lived for more than half my life, and I have seen too many things where women burst into tears and looked delicate and helpless in front of me.
The scene where Sakai Hoshino suddenly burst into tears and burst into tears did not make him lose his ability to think.
Military preparation is no small matter. If you just see a woman crying with a sad expression and saying some pleading words, you will become soft-hearted.
Then, I am not worthy of sitting on the chair that rules the world.
What's more, this woman is from the Japanese country.
Liu Mingzhi admitted that he was not particularly disgusted with the woman Sakai Hoshino, and he could not even say that he had any disgust at all. However, this did not mean that he would have any favorable impression of Japan.
In my opinion, Sakai Hoshino cannot represent Japan, and Japan cannot represent Sakai Hoshino either.
When the two were not conflated, he could talk to her in a good-natured way about the past and the little friendship he had inadvertently forged back then. However, once the two were conflated, he had no choice but to discuss the matter.
I have never been the kind of person to be emotional when it comes to big issues of right and wrong.
This is not because I am really that kind of heartless person, but because I know better what is meant by
Something to do and something not to do.
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea, took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into Sakai Hoshino's hand.
"Hoshino, don't cry yet. You should at least tell me what kind of difficulties your elder brother has encountered, right?"
Sakai Hoshino picked up Young Master Liu's handkerchief and wiped the tears on his cheeks, holding back the tears from falling further: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your handkerchief. Hoshino knows that Mr. Liu, you are the best."
"You're welcome, please tell me about your elder brother first."
"Mr. Liu, since our Sakai family received the help of Dalong, our family's power in the Japanese country has become more and more powerful over the years.
Hoshino's eldest brother himself is a man of great talent, and with the help of the Dalong Celestial Dynasty, the eldest brother has gradually annexed many families in the Japanese mainland over the years.
As our family's power gradually expanded, it gradually infringed upon the interests of our Japanese royal family.
Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, the royal family began to suppress our Sakai family."
"etc."
"Huh? Mr. Liu, what's wrong?"
"Hoshino, about the last time we met in the 27th year of Xuande's reign, I remember your eldest brother Sakai Kazuko once told me that you two brothers and sisters have become guests of the Japanese royal family since you returned to Japan from Dalong.
Since you have become guests of the Japanese royal family, you should have a good relationship with your royal family.
In this case, how could your Sakai family end up at odds with the Japanese royal family?
I remember a few years ago when your nephew Sakai He led your Japanese delegation to Dalong to make annual offerings, at the same time your Japanese royal family also sent a delegation.
Although they behaved very calmly in front of me, I can see that the conflict between them is not that big!
At that time, I was a little confused, what happened between your Sakai family and the royal family, and why did they become so incompatible?"
When Sakai Hoshino heard Young Master Liu's curious question, his white teeth clenched tightly.
"Because the royal family is too greedy and does not give my brother and Hoshino a way to survive, our Sakai family and the royal family have gradually embarked on a path of disunity.
As long as the royal family talks a little bit of truth, things will not end up like this."
