Chapter six hundred and twenty second ritual exchanges
Liu Mingzhi was in front, and Sakai Hoshino was slightly behind. The two of them chatted softly about insignificant topics, and walked out of the gate of Honglu Temple Yamen one after another.
Liu Mingzhi looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Sakai Hoshino who was following him silently and waved his hand with a faint smile: "Hoshino, it's getting late. You should go back early and prepare to rest. I'll go back first.
.”
Sakai Hoshino looked at Young Master Liu with complicated eyes as he waved goodbye to him with a faint smile, and bowed to Young Master Liu with a forced smile.
"Mr. Liu, I'll leave it to you to take care of Hoshino. I will stay at Honglu Temple and wait for your answer, Mr. Liu."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded: "Don't worry, Hoshino, I will definitely give you a reply as soon as possible. See you later."
Sakai Hoshino looked at Mr. Liu's back with a melancholy expression on his pretty face, sighed, and bowed gracefully again.
"Liu Jun, go slowly, I won't send you far."
"You're welcome, let's go back."
After Liu Mingzhi and Sakai Hoshino said goodbye softly, he turned around with his baggage and walked towards the prosperous long street, which was already lit up with lights. His eyes glanced at some pedestrians who seemed to be wandering on the street intentionally or unintentionally, and an elusive expression appeared at the corner of his mouth.
smile.
[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it is available on both Android and Apple.]
However, when Sakai Hoshino turned around and was about to go back, Liu Mingzhi, who had just walked about ten or twenty steps, suddenly turned back.
"Hoshino, please wait a moment."
When Sakai Hoshino heard Young Master Liu's voice, he immediately looked towards him excitedly. Seeing Young Master Liu walking towards him quickly, Sakai Hoshino trotted forward to meet him.
"Liu Jun, have you thought of other ways?"
Liu Mingzhi saw the obvious excitement on Sakai Hoshino's pretty face, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you Hoshino. The reason why I stopped you is not because of military preparations, but because of a small matter?"
The hope in Sakai Hoshino's beautiful eyes dimmed again, and he continued to look at Liu Mingzhi with a forced smile and asked softly: "Liu-kun, please speak, Hoshino is listening."
Liu Mingzhi reached into his arms and groped for a few times, then took out a rather exquisite small brocade box and handed it to Sakai Hoshino. The contents of the brocade box were exactly the hairpin that he bought for Sakai Hoshino during the day.
I originally wanted to give this small gift to Sakai Hoshino when I arrived at Koroji Temple, but because of the events that happened one after another, I forgot about this small gift.
Just now, when he was looking at the people on the street, he accidentally saw the owner of a jewelry stall closing his stall and getting ready to go home, and then he suddenly remembered this incident.
It happened that he hadn't gone far yet, and Sakai Hoshino hadn't gone back, so he turned back again.
Sakai Hoshino looked at the small brocade box handed over by Young Master Liu, and doubts appeared in his beautiful eyes: "Mr. Liu, what are you doing?"
"This is the hairpin you fell in love with at that stall during the day. I bought it after you went to Penglai Restaurant.
I gave it to you, it’s not something expensive, just treat it as a small gift for us to meet again after a long separation.”
After Sakai Hoshino heard Mr. Liu's words, he waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no, Hoshino can't ask for your gift from Mr. Liu, it's inappropriate."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and stuffed the brocade box directly into Sakai Hoshino's palm, then took off the baggage on his shoulder and held it in his hand to signal her.
"I have accepted all the gifts you gave me, so how can you not accept the gifts I gave you?
As a courtesy, just accept it, I hope you like it."
Sakai Hoshino nodded with a slightly hesitant expression, and gave Young Master Liu another blessing with a faint smile.
"Then Hoshino is welcome. Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your gift. Hoshino likes it very much."
"The gift has been delivered, so I'll take my leave. See you later."
Sakai Hoshino nodded slightly, held up the small brocade box in his hand and waved: "See you later, Mr. Liu, go slowly."
Sakai Hoshino watched as Liu Mingzhi's back carrying the baggage went further and further away on the long street with the lights on, until the figure disappeared around the corner of the street.
After Liu Mingzhi's figure disappeared, a figure suddenly walked out from behind the gate of Honglu Temple and trotted towards Sakai Hoshino.
"Aunt Hoshino."
The person who came was Sakai Ga, the nephew of Sakai Hoshino, the chief envoy of Japan.
Sakai Hoshino put the brocade box in his hand into his sleeve and looked up at his nephew who trotted up to his side.
"He'er, why did you come out?"
Sakai He looked back at the government officials on both sides of the gate, then looked around at the pedestrians walking on the street, and leaned towards Sakai Hoshino.
"Aunt Hoshino, I went to deliver food to you just now and found that you and Emperor Dalong were no longer in the room, so I thought that you might have come out of Honglu Temple.
Auntie, has His Majesty the Emperor Dalong left?"
Sakai Hoshino's pretty face sighed with a complicated expression, and pursed her red lips towards the street where Mr. Liu disappeared.
"Liu Jun, he just left Zhancha Kungfu."
"Auntie, has His Majesty the Emperor agreed to our request?"
Sakai Hoshino gave Sakai He a silent look, turned around and walked directly towards Honglu Temple.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Okay, kid, I understand."
A moment later, Sakai Hoshino's aunt and nephew appeared in the room where Sakai Hoshino stayed.
"Auntie, how is the matter about military equipment? Has His Majesty the Emperor Dalong agreed to reward us with military equipment?"
Sakai Hoshino looked at the dishes on the table that were full of color, flavor, and taste, and sighed with no appetite. He looked up at Sakai He who was sitting opposite and looked anxious and shook his head silently.
"I haven't agreed. I have tried my best, but I still can't get Mr. Liu to agree to reward us with Dalong weapons."
Sakai He frowned, clenched his right hand into a fist and beat it on the table moderately.
"How could this happen? Auntie, did you not tell His Majesty the Emperor the critical situation he is facing now?"
Sakai Hoshino raised his fingers and kneaded the acupuncture points on both sides of his forehead a few times, sighed and shook his head.
"I have told Jun Liu what should be said about the situation that my brother told me before, and I have also told Jun Liu what should not be said.
I've tried my best, but Jun Liu won't spit, what can I do?
Mr. Liu is the Emperor of the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty. You can't let me force Mr. Liu to agree to our mission's request, right?
Don't tell me aunt, I don't have such thoughts at all. Even if I dare to have such thoughts, do you think I can succeed?
This is Dalong Capital, if my aunt really acts like that, it’s only because she feels that she has had enough."
"No, no, no, aunt, please don't be angry. This is not what I mean."
"He'er, your third uncle is my biological brother. Now he is encountering difficulties. I am more anxious than you and I hope more to help him overcome this difficulty.
But Mr. Liu doesn’t agree to our request, so what can I do now that I’m dying of anxiety?”
