Liu Mingzhi breathed a silent sigh of relief, turned to look at the beauty, smiled and shook his head.
"Yun'er, don't worry, I'll be fine for my husband."
Qi Yun looked at Young Master Liu who had a smile on his face again, and held his wrist with her jade hand a little harder.
"Husband, please stop thinking nonsense.
I believe that this glorious history will give you a fair evaluation of your husband."
Young Master Liu listened to the beautiful lady's comforting words to him, patted the back of her hand gently, and turned slightly sideways to look at the huge map hanging on the wooden frame not far away.
He carefully scanned the positions of Tianzhu Kingdom and Dashi Kingdom on the map. When he saw that the word "big dragon" had been written on the territory of these two countries, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
meaning.
In just a few short years, the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Dashi and Tianzhu have been included in my dragon's bag.
With this, I, Liu Mingzhi, should be able to reduce my reputation a bit, right?
Liu Mingzhi looked deeply and sighed secretly in his heart, then looked back at Qi Yun and nodded with a smile.
"Hehehe, Yun'er, I hope so."
"Husband, I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it."
Qi Yun held her husband's wrist hard and said in a very firm tone.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the serious expression on the beauty's pretty face and nodded happily.
"My love, my dear wife, I will lend you a blessing as your husband."
"Oh, husband, what are the auspicious and unlucky words?
Even if I didn’t say these words, it would still be like this.”
"Yes, yes, it must be so.
The history of history is the most just. I will definitely have a fair evaluation of my merits and demerits in my life as a husband."
Hearing what her husband said, Qi Yun's pretty face immediately revealed a smile as charming as a flower.
"Husband, that's all you can think of."
While Mr. Liu and Qi Yun were talking in a low voice, Song Qing was the first to react from his deep thoughts.
Song Qing let out a silent breath and subconsciously turned his eyes towards Young Master Liu.
When he saw that Young Master Liu was whispering to Qi Yun, he frowned slightly and silently turned to look at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye who were sitting next to him.
Song Qing looked at the two Zhang Kuang people who were still deep in thought, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes involuntarily.
After some careful thinking, he now understood what his third brother meant by the words he said before.
After understanding the profound meaning contained in Mr. Liu's words, the previous thoughts came to his mind again.
My third brother's heart is getting really dirty!
Among Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Song Qing, Song Qing was the first to guess what Liu Dashao was thinking, not because he was smarter than Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye.
It's because he has stayed with Young Master Liu the longest, and compared to Zhang Kuang and the other two, he has also spent the longest time dealing with Young Master Liu.
The two brothers Song Qing and Liu Dashao have known each other for decades since childhood.
Therefore, he naturally has a very good understanding of his third brother's character and thoughts.
It was precisely because he had a better understanding of his third brother's character and thoughts that he was the first to guess the true meaning of Young Master Liu's words.
However, it was also because he understood Young Master Liu's thoughts better, so he hesitated.
After Song Qing hesitated for a moment, he quietly turned his eyes towards Young Master Liu.
At this moment, he was a little undecided, wondering whether he should raise this topic by himself.
After all, the establishment of the Joint Chamber of Commerce did not have much to do with me. The two uncles were solely responsible for it.
Regarding the matter of establishing the Joint Chamber of Commerce, compared to the two of them, Zhang Kuang, he was just an outsider.
Who knows whether the profound words that the third brother said before were meant for the three of him or specifically for his two uncles.
If I, an outsider, spoke rashly, would it affect some of the third brother's plans?
The more Song Qing thought about this, the more hesitant the expression on his face became.
Should I say it? Or should I not say it?
Qi Yun, who was chatting softly with Young Master Liu, seemed to have something, and instinctively glanced sideways at Song Qing.
When she saw the situation on Song Qing's side, she immediately tugged on Young Master Liu's sleeve with her fingers.
"Husband, look, brother, he has come back to his senses from his thoughts.
But, there seems to be something wrong with his expression."
Liu Mingzhi heard the beauty's reminder, turned his eyes and glanced at Song Qing, then twirled the jade ring on his thumb with a smile.
"Yun'er, don't worry about him, he is currently weighing some pros and cons in his mind.
After he thinks it over clearly, he will naturally take the initiative to talk to me, my husband."
"Ah? How about weighing the pros and cons? What kind of pros and cons are you measuring?"
"My good wife, it's not convenient to talk in detail now. I'll tell you when I'm free, husband."
"Hey, okay then."
Song Qing, who was still hesitating at this time, had no idea that his every move had already been caught in the eyes of Liu Dashao and his wife.
Just as Song Qing kept muttering, not knowing what to do, an arrogant and slightly excited voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Understood!"
This arrogant and soft cry that suddenly sounded without warning immediately frightened Song Qing.
At the same time, Nangong Ye also trembled slightly and instinctively came back from his thoughts.
After Nangong Ye calmed down, he blinked his eyes that looked cloudy but were actually shining brightly, and hurriedly turned around and looked at Zhang Kuang.
"Brother Zhang, have you figured it out?"
After Zhang Kuang glanced at Young Master Liu quietly, he raised his hand and stroked the gray beard on his chin, turned to look at Nangong Ye and nodded happily.
"Brother Nangong, yes, I understand, I want to understand."
Liu Mingzhi heard the conversation between Zhang Kuang and the other two, and after winking quickly at Qi Yun, he turned around and looked at Zhang Kuang and the others with a smile.
"Uncle, what do you want to understand?"
After hearing Mr. Liu's inquiry, Zhang Kuang slowly stood up from the chair and hit his lower back several times with his backhand.
Immediately afterwards, he gently opened the tobacco bag containing the tobacco and filled the tobacco pot with extremely skillful movements.
Seeing this situation, Song Qing immediately pulled the cigarette bag in his hand and moved towards Nangong Ye.
Then, while filling Nangong Ye's tobacco, he whispered in Nangong Ye's ear in a low voice.
Suddenly.
Following Song Qing's muttering, Nangong Ye suddenly flashed a look of surprise.
That's it, that's it.
I understand, I understand everything!
Nangong Ye raised his eyes covertly and glanced at Zhang Kuang, who was lighting a cigarette. He turned to look at Song Qing sitting next to him with a sad expression, and sighed softly.
"well."
“My great nephew, people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be.
After so much talk and so many riddles, we two old guys have to shoulder the blame."
Song Qing chuckled softly and skillfully lit a match.
"Uncle, I will eat your salary and share your worries for you!"
While Nangong Ye and Song Qing were whispering, Zhang Kuang dropped the match between his fingers and took a long puff of dry smoke.
"call!"
"Zhi'er."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and crossed his legs. He casually picked up the Wanli Jiangshan jade fan on the table and flicked it gently, then started shaking it.
"Uncle, this young master is listening. Just tell me."
Zhang Kuang took a deep look at Mr. Liu, then strode to the table with the tobacco bag in his hand, directly picked up the teacup on the table and drank the already cold tea in one go.
"call!"
After Zhang Kuang let out a long breath, he lowered his head and looked straight at Mr. Liu who was sitting on the chair.
"Zhi'er, I thought about it over and over again, and finally understood your true purpose.
In fact, you really wish that Crich would immediately tell the kings of the Western countries in private about your true intention of establishing the United Chamber of Commerce.
You and Brother Nangong have just discussed it very clearly. Once the kings of the Western countries learn about this from Krich, they will most likely unite together to resist your plan.
Even, as you said, when you feel a crisis that may destroy the country.
It is very possible for them, the kings, to put aside all their past grievances and immediately make some military arrangements.
If this happens, it will not affect the plans you have laid out in your heart.
On the contrary, it plays exactly into your heart.
Because the real plan in your heart is not to establish this joint chamber of commerce at all.
The so-called joint caravan is just a decision you made under helpless circumstances.
To put it bluntly, establishing this joint chamber of commerce is completely a bad idea."
After talking arrogantly and eloquently, he directly reached out and lifted the teapot on the table and served himself a cup of tea.
Immediately, he picked up his tea cup again, raised his head slightly and drank all the tea in the cup.
"call!"
Zhang Kuang exhaled vigorously, wiped the tea on his beard with his fingers, smiled and once again set his eyes on Young Master Liu.
"Hahaha, hahaha."
"Soldiers who, deception also."
"Zhi'er, from the beginning to the end, your real purpose was to convey your idea of continuing to march westward and use troops through Krich's mouth to the ears of the Western kings.
After the kings of the Western countries received such news, they would definitely be confused.
In order to protect their throne and their rights, even if they do not want to be enemies with our Great Dragon Kingdom, they still have to take precautions against our Great Dragon.
After all, many times, there are some things that cannot be decided by them.
Just in case, they don't want to be enemies with our dragon, and because of fear, they have no choice but to make some military arrangements.
As long as the kings of the Western countries unite together and make a military layout for our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.
At that time, you only need to find some random reasons and you can continue to march westward and use troops.
In this case, it no longer makes much sense whether this so-called joint chamber of commerce can be established.
For some future situations, Zhi'er, you may continue to establish a joint chamber of commerce.
After all, the establishment of the United Chamber of Commerce is a matter of great benefit and no harm to our Dalong Celestial Empire.
For the sake of our Dalong interests, there is no reason why you should not establish this so-called joint chamber of commerce.
However, by that time, the United Chamber of Commerce's role in our Dalong Dynasty's continued westward march and deployment of troops was already minimal.
In other words, it no longer plays a key role at all."
After Zhang Kuang talked for a long time, he looked at Mr. Liu with bright eyes, who was gently waving the carved jade fan in his hand with a smile on his face, and let out a long sigh with emotion on his face.
"well."
"Zhi'er, uncle, we old guys are already old.
In terms of thinking about problems, I am no longer as good as the younger generations like you."
As he spoke in an insolent manner, he suddenly chuckled a few times.
"Haha, hahaha.
It really is true to that saying, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old!
Now, it depends on what Kerridge will choose.
It would be best if he chose to inform the kings of the Western countries.
In this case, the kings of the Western countries will take the lead in making military arrangements.
Then, our Dalong Heavenly Dynasty’s continued westward march and use of troops will be well-known.”
As the words from Zhang Kuang's mouth fell, Young Master Liu paused slightly while shaking the Wanli Jiangshan carved jade fan in his hand.
Immediately, he gently closed the jade fan in his hand, and then turned to look at the cutie diagonally opposite, who was playing with his fingernails with a strange expression.
"Yue'er."
Hearing the sound, the little cutie hurriedly put down her delicate hands and raised her eyes to look at her father.
"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"
Liu Mingzhi casually threw his engraved jade fan on the table and rolled his eyes at the little cutie angrily.
"Smelly girl, didn't you see that my father's tea cup is empty? Why don't you hurry up and give me some tea as my husband?"
"Hey, okay, okay."
After the little cutie responded with a sweet voice, she quickly stood up and picked up the teapot to refill Young Master Liu's cup of tea.
"Daddy, you drink tea."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. While chewing the tea leaves gently, he cheerfully looked up at Zhang Kuang, who was puffing away at the tobacco bag.
"Hehehe, hehehe.
Uncle, I have to admit, young master, that the words you just said are very wonderful.
