"Mr. Du, although we have been investigating the masked men who surrounded and killed the Chu State envoy at the border, we only know that they were sent by the Chu State."

"As for the people behind this..." Yin Cheng shook his head.

Miyakoji's intelligence in Daqian is certainly very good, but in Chu State, the places they can penetrate are very limited.

Li Yi frowned, "When they finally retreated, the target of the arrow they shot should be me."

"In the case of Chu State's scientific examination fraud, I killed many old and cunning people. I'm afraid he is thinking about me."

"The assassination was probably his secret order."

"Let's put it aside for now. I will settle this account with him when I return to Chu Kingdom."

"It has been almost half a month since King Xi's defeat. Where is the Grand Tutor now?"

"Du Gong, it's still early. I'm afraid we haven't even arrived in Zhongzhou. The speed of the carriage..." Yin Cheng shook his head, "What do you want to say to him? It's better for Fei Ge to send a letter to Du Qianwei over there as a successor. Bar."

"Du Gong, these are the portraits of envoys from various countries." A guard from the capital came in holding a basket of scrolls.

Li Yi nodded, and after the capital guards retreated, he walked outside the house, "Yin Cheng, let the people at the border pay more attention. If you find Sheng Yuanshi, you don't have to be polite, just arrest him."

"Let him experience how cruel the outside world is, so as not to give him a wrong understanding and habitually run away from home."

The corners of Li Yi's lips curled up, and his smile sounded malicious.

With just a few attendants by his side, he dared to run towards Daqian. The most important thing was that this boy was still running to save people.

As long as he and Si Jian are not the same person, Sheng Yuanshi will be a proper delivery person.

"Mr. Du, fortunately my eldest sister is married and my younger sister is still young." Yin Cheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Li Yi tilted his face.

Yin Cheng raised a smile, dodged to the side, and then quickly went down to do his work.

Du Gong's brother-in-law, so far, I haven't seen any one in a better condition.

Among the several young masters of the Tang family, as well as the current Sheng Yuanshi, no one should be subjected to repeated rubbing by Du Gong.

"Hey!"

Li Yi smiled, being able to be his uncle would be a blessing that one could never ask for!

It’s just Yin Cheng who has no vision.

Li Yi shook his head and went back to his room to look at his portrait.

Li Yi already knows the general situation of each person in the mission that came to Daqian this time.

But in order to prevent them from arranging people to impersonate him and secretly stir up trouble, Li Yi specifically asked Du Qianwei to get the portrait.

The Rong Kingdom sent to Da Gan were two princes and six envoys, as well as Da Zai's youngest daughter. It was said that she was extremely beautiful and could make the young men of the Rong Kingdom scream when she showed up.

This kind of collected portrait cannot be completely similar to the person, it is probably only six to seven points.

Unfolding the scroll, Li Yi crossed his arms. According to the portrait, the beauty is beautiful, but it is not up to the stunning level.

After looking at it for a few times, Li Yi put away the scroll and unfolded another one.

After reading the one from Rong Kingdom, Li Yi picked up the one from Qin Kingdom.

Qin State is quite mysterious, either there is no wind or waves, or it suddenly rises up.

Xuancheng, the capital of the country, is difficult for outsiders to sneak into. Every man there will have an eagle totem tattooed on the back of his neck as soon as he is born.

If you don't, from the moment you enter the city, your every move will be monitored by guards.

Those who worship martial arts to the extreme are like scholars. Not only do they have no chance of success, but they also have to worry about the day when the emperor becomes unhappy and burns books to embarrass scholars.

They are very polarized, men are either forceful or feminine.

This is why the masculine style of Qin State is so popular.

He casually opened the scroll, and when he caught a glimpse of the woman in the portrait, Li Yi frowned. How could she look so much like Qingyue!

The Qin State's envoy to Daqian this time has only one woman, and that is Princess Ning Xi of the Qin State.

Li Yiqing raised his eyes as his fingers crossed the portrait. He really should have taken this painting to Xiao Zhen and asked him if he had lost a sister back then.

Smiling lightly, Li Yi closed the portrait and picked up another scroll.

After unfolding it, Li Yi raised his eyebrows. Maybe he should ask Xiao Zhen what was going on. Siblings from other families could tell at a glance why he and Qing Yue looked like they were born to different parents.

After reading all the portraits, Li Yi picked up the charcoal and continued to write and draw on the paper.

Don't ask him why he doesn't use a brush. He's not very good at drawing pictures with that thing.

Especially one that pays great attention to details.

After finishing the painting, Li Yi took these days' drawings and secretly went to a house near the lake.

Among them, Li Yi asked the avant-garde to search for top talents from all over the country. There were blacksmiths, people who were proficient in mechanisms, and most importantly, people who had research on matchlock guns.

Like making firearms, professional matters should be left to professionals.

He is responsible for pointing the direction.

After staying in the house for half an hour, Li Yi explained to these people in detail his theoretical knowledge about guns and the specific shapes and sizes of the patterns drawn on the drawings, before Li Yi went out.

Gunpowder was used again and again. Although Chu State did not master it completely, its lethality was sufficient.

This also means that it is difficult to achieve a suppressive victory with gunpowder alone.

Once the distance is closed, using gunpowder to injure the enemy is to help you along.

Li Yi would never adopt the tactic of "die together" unless he was desperate.

Guns are much more flexible.

Easy to carry and powerful.

One shot and one little crispy one.

This stuff needs to be strictly controlled, it's too dangerous.

After looking at the time, Li Yi went to Zuixianfang.

Someone invited him to drink today. If it were an ordinary person, Li Yi might not accept the invitation.

But the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the face of my father-in-law, he dare not deny.

In a farm on the outskirts of Beijing, Princess Xiangyu took off her palace skirt and put on a neat riding outfit.

After tying her clothes, Princess Xiangyu curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "What kind of stuff are you bringing? How can you gallop like a horse in these clothes?"

"I can't even find a dagger."

Princess Xiangyu's usually expressionless face was full of annoyance.

From the jewelry, she picked out a sharp gold hairpin, stroked the tip with her jade fingers, and nodded with satisfaction, "Is this decent?"

Turning her eyes and looking outside, she hid the gold hairpin in her sleeves. Princess Xiangyu stepped out and the sharp look in her eyes disappeared in a flash.

In Zuixianfang, Li Yi poured wine for Tang Shangshu.

He wanted to call his father-in-law, but looking at Tang Shangshu's expression, it didn't look like he wanted to get close to him. Li Yi was honest and polite.

Don't fail to gain a favorable impression, and instead be scolded for being frivolous.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the two of them were quietly sipping wine, and no one spoke.

Li Yi didn't know if Tang Yimeng's father was testing his patience. He always made mistakes if he spoke too much, and silence is golden. Li Yi was very patient.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
