"Xuan~ The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom comes to see you!"
After receiving the advice from the officials of the Huitong Pavilion, Hosokawa Mokiyuki gave Chen Di a generous gift. Chen Di quickly found an opportunity to remind Zhu Biao that the Japanese envoy had learned the etiquette and was ready to meet him.
Only then did Zhu Biao remember the incident of the Japanese envoy, and quickly arranged to summon the Japanese envoy at the court meeting the next day.
When Hosokawa Mochiichi stepped into the Fengtian Hall, he was shocked by the supreme power center of the Ming Dynasty, but he had no time to take a closer look. While keeping the etiquette requirements in mind, his eyes quickly swept among the ministers, trying to find Jeolla.
The Taoist Xu Chengfei.
At this time, all the ministers turned around to see what the Japanese envoy who had refused to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for many years looked like.
But at this glance, all the ministers frowned and felt deeply disappointed. Originally, everyone thought that the Japanese country had the confidence to refuse to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the envoys sent must be so impressive.
yes.
But the messenger in front of him was short in stature, hunched over, and looked like a villain with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes.
When everyone was disappointed, Hosokawa Mokiyuki did not find the person he was looking for, and there was a look of disappointment in his eyes. Even when he met with the Ming Emperor, he was a little absent-minded, and just followed the instructions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
"What? You said there is no such person?"
Today was the day when Hosokawa Mochiyuki had an audience with the Ming Emperor, and it was also the time to really see who Xu Chengfei was. As a result, Komatsu Reiko waited expectantly for a long time in the Huitong Hall, and unexpectedly waited for this news.
Hosokawa Noriyuki nodded with an ugly expression. After a pause, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Master, is it possible that that person is a liar? He is not a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty at all?"
Komatsu Lingzi looked heavy, glanced at him, and said in a cold tone, "You mean I misjudged you? I slept in vain?"
"I don't dare!" Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Only then did Komatsu Reiko look away from him and let him go for the time being. Then he stood up and paced around the room, "That man has a noble spirit, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. The so-called living Qi nourishes the moving body.
How can an ordinary person have such dignified nobility?"
Komatsu Reiko was unwilling to admit defeat, and neither was she. If she admitted that she had misjudged the person, wouldn't it be just like what she said, and her rich body was wasted by someone? This is because of caution.
The arrogant Komatsu Reiko would not accept it no matter what.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki did not dare to continue arguing with his master on this matter, so he asked, "Master, there is no such person among the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty. How can we find him?"<

Komatsu Reiko was silent. At this point, she had no idea.
Seeing that she looked embarrassed and didn't speak, Hosokawa Mokiyuki quickly bowed and bowed wisely, "Master, I must be tired after waiting all day. I will leave now."
Komatsu Reiko looked at his back, and did not call out to him until Hosokawa Mokiyuki went out and closed the door. After the door was closed, Komatsu Reiko suddenly punched the table with a pink fist, perhaps because of the violent force on her hand.
The pain caused her face to become extremely distorted.
The Japanese country not only came to surrender, but also paid tribute, which made Zhu Biao very happy. Not only did he return a large amount of property, he also gave Hosokawa Mochiyuki two months with a wave of his hand so that they could fully appreciate the Ming Dynasty.
of natural treasures.
Because she didn't find anyone, Komatsu Reiko was so angry that she didn't go out for several days. Of course, she didn't give up her search for Xu Chengfei, but she couldn't even find him in the court. If she wanted to find someone in a capital city with a population of millions, then and
Finding a needle in a haystack makes no difference.
No matter how hard I searched, I found nothing.
However, during this period, Komatsu Reiko was not idle. After all, her main purpose of coming to the Ming Dynasty was to speak for the Japanese country, so that the Ming Dynasty could uphold justice and stop the war between the north and the south of the Japanese country.
Therefore, Hosokawa Mokiyuki used Chen Di as a breakthrough point to lobby many officials in a short period of time. And Komatsu Reiko, as Hosokawa Mokiyuki's younger sister, got to know many ministers of the DPRK and China.
Seafood restaurant.
On this day, Komatsu Reiko followed Hosokawa Mokiyuki and came here again to entertain several court ministers.
This is the fifth time that Chen Di has introduced ministers to them, and both of them attach great importance to it. The reason why Chen Di is so active is of course because Hosokawa Mochiyuki gives him more generous gifts every time.
"Come on, come on, I would like to introduce you to you." Chen Di walked in and saw the two of them waiting in the private room for a long time. He not only nodded slightly, but felt very satisfied.
So he didn't beat around the bush and stepped aside to reveal the person behind him.
"This is Mr. Qi Taiqi, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Mr. Qi is the Minister of the Ministry of War. What you want to ask for is just a matter of words to Mr. Qi."
"The foreign minister pays his respects to Mr. Qi." Hosokawa Noriyuki and Komatsu Reiko hurriedly bowed down.
The reason why Qi Tai condescended to condescend to others was naturally for a purpose. When he saw the little
The moment he saw Song Lingzi, two gleams of light could not help but appear in his old eyes, and he kept looking up and down at Xiao Song Lingzi.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.
Komatsu Reiko already has the appearance of the character, and because she is a Japanese, she is born with a small and exquisite temperament that makes me feel pity for her.
It is this temperament that has great appeal to Qitai.
Xiaosong Lingzi was keenly aware that Qi Tai's eyes were lingering on her chest and waist, and she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. With such determination, the important minister of the Ming Dynasty was simply useless, even compared with the original Xu Chengfei.
They were all too far apart. At least, Xu Chengfei was just stunned when he saw her, and then he didn't pay much attention to her. How could Qi Tai, at such an old age, still look like a lustful ghost?
.
No, it’s an old man who is a pervert!
However, after learning that Qi Tai was the Minister of War, Komatsu Reiko not only did not show the slightest disgust, but instead gave Qi Tai a flirtatious look, deliberately luring him to take the bait.
When Qi Tai saw that such a stunning beauty took the initiative to tease him, he was immediately elated. He seemed to be thirty or forty years younger, returning to the time when he was young.
He quickly said, "Hahaha, your envoy is really a talented person. Even your sister is so bright, charming and lovable!"
Chen Di remained calm on the sidelines. He had just learned that Qi Tai had this hobby. He did not invite Qi Tai, but Qi Tai came to him and asked him to introduce the Japanese envoy.
The more Chen Di introduced important ministers to the Japanese envoys, the more benefits he would get from them. Since Qi Tai took the initiative to ask for help, he naturally would not refuse, so today's banquet took place.
"Your Excellency, I have given you too much praise. I am very grateful to you for being able to honor me today. Your Excellency, please take a seat!"
"Easy to say, easy to say." Qitai's eyes never left Xiaosong Lingzi, looking impatient.
Although Komatsu Reiko knew the importance of Qitai, she was still a young woman after all. Faced with such an aggressive gaze, she still felt a little uncomfortable after a long time and couldn't help but tilt her head to one side.
Unexpectedly, just like this, she saw Xu Chengfei, who had been thinking about it all night, walking up the stairs step by step.
Komatsu Lingzi suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Chengfei carefully, but due to the position, she could only see his side face, so she was still not sure.
Qitai's claws, which were like withered tree bark, silently moved toward Xiaosong Lingzi's shoulder.
"Ah!"
The moment Komatsu Reiko was touched, she stood up in shock.
Qitai's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became sharp.
But before he could speak, Komatsu Lingzi asked without noticing, "Master Qi, who is that person?"
Qitai glanced out the door subconsciously, and happened to see Han Du walking up the stairs. His face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he had no intention of taking advantage of Xiaosong Lingzi.
He snorted coldly, "That's Han Du, the Duke of Daming Town, my mortal enemy."
After hearing his master's words, Noriyuki Hosokawa looked outside subconsciously, and saw a familiar figure. A huge surprise suddenly appeared in his heart, and he turned around to talk to his master, but was stopped by Reiko Komatsu's look.
.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki suddenly realized that this was not the place to discuss this matter at all, and quickly lowered his head to avoid being seen with an abnormal look on his face.
Komatsu Reiko smiled slightly, sat back, and said with blinking eyes, "Since he is your lord's mortal enemy, wouldn't he come here on purpose knowing that your lord is here?"
Qi Tai chuckled, thinking that the woman wanted to take advantage of him. He shook his head and said, "This seafood restaurant is his property, why can't he come? If he wanted to find me, he came in directly, why did he go to the opposite side?"
"
"That's it. Thank you for clarifying your doubts. I'd like to give you a drink, little girl." Xiaosong Lingzi has experienced too much. Even though she just made Qi Tai a little unhappy, she gave Qi Tai a compliment with words of admiration.
The coaxing is comfortable.
In the subsequent conversation, Komatsu Lingzi never asked anything about Han Du, which made Qitai and Chen Di mistakenly think that she was just acting on a whim.
After seeing off Chen Di and Qitai, Komatsu Reiko took Hosokawa Mokiyuki back to the Huitongkan.
"Master, it turns out that he used a false name, and his real name is Han Du." Hosokawa Noriyuki was very happy to be able to find Han Du.
The same is true for Komatsu Lingzi. Her smile is like a flower, and her eyes reveal a meaningless look, "The Duke of Daming Town, what a great name!"
"Master, would you like my subordinates to come to your door right now? Since he is the Lord of the Kingdom, his role will be even greater." Hosokawa Noriyuki didn't even think about it, and couldn't help but rub his hands a few times in excitement.
"No." Komatsu Lingzi shook his head firmly, "Since he is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, it is very likely that he planned the bloody battles between the north and the south that the Ming Dynasty provoked. If we ask him to mediate, it will be counterproductive.
