Sakai Kawasaki was writing something seriously at his desk when suddenly there was a knock on the door and the slightly anxious voice of deputy envoy Taro Ishibashi.
Sakaiga did not blame Ishibashi Taro for interrupting his thoughts, because he could hear the anxiety in Ishibashi Taro's tone.
"Ishibashi-kun, come in quickly."
"yes."
Taro Ishibashi responded, pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Ga Sakai who was sitting behind the desk and walked up in a hurry.
"I'm here to see you, sir."
Sakai He nodded lightly, picked up a piece of paper and put it on top of the piece of paper on which he had already written half of the content.
"No courtesy, please sit down."
"Thank you, sir."
Sakai Hetipot poured a cup of herbal tea for Taro Ishibashi, who was sitting opposite him, and glanced at him with some confusion.
"what happened?"
"Sir, according to reports from brothers, that old guy Jin Tae-eun went to Mr. Wang to flatter him again."
"What? We just went there yesterday and we went again today?"
"Yes, it's only half a cup of tea away from now."
Sakai He frowned and took a sip of tea, with a clearly gloomy look in his eyes.
"Is this old fox so impatient?
By the way, does Kim Tae-eun still bring a gift box today just like yesterday?"
Taro Ishibashi also frowned and nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief.
"I brought it. I heard from my brother that he brought several gift boxes of different sizes. I don't know what's inside."
As soon as Ishibashi Taro's indignant words finished, there was another knock on the door.
"Report."
"Come in."
"As commanded."
"I see you two adults."
"No gifts."
"Thank you two adults."
Sakai He leaned on the chair and looked at his subordinate standing in front of the desk with a slightly frowning brow.
"Watanabe, what's going on?"
"Back to my lord, just now Lord Wang from Daeryong Honglu Temple and Kim Tae-eun from Goguryeo went out together. The two of them were talking and laughing, and they seemed to get along very well.
Moreover, the subordinates and brothers vaguely heard that the two of them seemed to mention some titles such as Lord Song and Lord Yang when they were talking.
Because the distance is too far, my subordinates and brothers cannot hear the specific content clearly."
A look of doubt flashed in Sakai He's eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Deputy Ambassador Taro Ishibashi who was sitting opposite him.
"Master Song, Master Yang? Does Master Wang want to introduce other Dalong officials to the old fox Jin Taien?
Mr. Shiqiao, what do you think about this matter?"
Taro Ishibashi straightened his waist, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Sakai He.
"Sir, Lord Wang is an important minister of the Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, and the officials he wants to recommend to Jin Taien must be at least equal to him in terms of rank.
Mr. Song? Mr. Yang?
Could the two people they were talking about be Song Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War of Dalong, and Yang Tao, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
Sir, if it is really these two adults, we will be in big trouble.
One of them is in charge of the forging of weapons, and the other is in charge of military preparation and defense. The weight in the heart of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is not small.
If Kim Tae-eun really wins the favor of the two of them, and they help Kim Tae-eun to say a few nice words in front of His Majesty Emperor Dae Ryong, then there is a high probability that Dae Ryong's sophisticated military equipment will be given to the Goguryeo mission.
Got there first!
Your Excellency, I suggest you find a way quickly to ruin the meeting between Kim Tae-eun and Dalong, the Minister of War and the Minister of Works.
Otherwise, the head of the family will really face a critical situation."
After listening to Taro Ishibashi's analysis, Sakai Ga's eyes became darker again.
After taking a few deep breaths, Sakai He slapped his hand hard on the table.
"This old fox actually played a trick on us by pulling out the firewood from under the cauldron.
His Majesty the Emperor Dalong has clearly warned us to wait patiently for a reply from him or the court, but how dare this old fox Kim Tae-eun, how dare he!"
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"What should I do? I don't know what to do.
This old guy, Kim Tae-eun, has now hooked up with Mr. Wang. If we go to cause damage at this time, it would be good if we succeed.
However, if we fail, not only will it not destroy the good deeds of this bastard Kim Tae-eun, but it will actually cause Mr. Wang to be dissatisfied with us.
Mr. Wang is the chief minister of Honglu Temple. As envoys of the mission, if we offend him, we may not end up well."
Ishibashi Taro's body trembled, he frowned and thought for a moment, then placed the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table.
"This old fox is really insidious.
Now that the deal is done, there is really no way we can continue to sabotage it.
Sir, how about we do the same as Kim Tae-eun and secretly donate some gold, silver, jewelry and the like to Sir Wang in private?"
"It's too late."
"late?"
"Yes, it's too late.
Since Mr. Wang has accepted Jin Taien's gift and helped him build a bridge, he introduced two adults, Dalong, the Minister of War and the Ministry of Industry.
It shows that Kim Tae-eun has left a good impression in Mr. Wang's mind.
If we try to interfere now, we will not get any desired results except wasting a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."
"What should we do now?"
"Ishiqiao-kun, I'm really hungry, and I don't know what to do now.
The actions of this old fox, Kim Tae-eun, were too insidious and caught us all off guard.
I never imagined that this old fox, Jin Tae-eun, would dare to go against the wishes of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and secretly engage in such shameful little tricks.
It’s too late to regret, it’s too late to regret!”
Taro Ishibashi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal to Sakai He.
"Sir, wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Sakai He looked at Taro Ishibashi with bright eyes, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Well, what I said is that it's too late to regret, it's too late to regret!"
"No, say it again."
"One more sentence? Another sentence, I said that I never imagined that this old fox, Jin Taien, would dare to go against the wishes of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor and secretly engage in such shameful little tricks."
Taro Ishibashi slapped his hands violently and looked towards Sakai He with a cheerful expression on his face.
"Yes, that's it, that's it."
"Huh? What's wrong with this sentence?"
"Sir, even if this sentence is not enough to kill Kim Tae-eun and the Goguryeo delegation, it is still enough to give them a good drink."
"Don't be so pretentious, just tell me what good idea you have thought of."
"Sir, His Majesty Emperor Dalong has clearly told us to wait for him or the Dalong court's reply, but the Goguryeo Kingdom has gone against his will and secretly carried out some evil tricks.
Sir, if this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty Emperor Dalong, what will happen to the Goguryeo mission?
