The Imperial Forest Army led by Cai Mao dared to stop the people and low-level officials, but when they encountered a high-ranking official like Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, these soldiers could not do anything, because Jin Changsen was higher than Cai Mao in terms of age, seniority and rank.

At the outer cordon of the picnic party, Jin Changsen saw his housekeeper, and whispered a few words in the butler's ear while no one was prepared, and soon Jin Changsen returned to the banquet with the palace attendants.

"Your Majesty, this is the twenty-year-old champion red I bought from the merchants of the Qing Kingdom, these years of war in the south of the Qing Kingdom, these high-end Jiangnan goods are getting more and more expensive, and the quantity is still small, it is really not easy for the minister to sell this altar......

Just as Jin Changsen was boasting about the drinks he brought, his butler had already left the cordon and secretly approached in the direction of the foggy imp playing the flute.

"Hurry up and tell Lord Huashan, this banquet is very strange, and King Shangtai is very abnormal. Now you immediately go and find out where the group of invitees is, if you can't find Xiao Letian, there is a chance that you will meet with King Shangtai at the banquet, this Qing country is very dangerous, and it is very likely to bring great harm to Japan......"

When the foggy imp heard this, his whole heart fell to the bottom, because since Xiao Lotian went out this morning, all the ninjas in Naha Port have lost Xiao Lotian's trace. Xiang Shaolong and the Central Plains martial arts masters under him are so powerful that even a ninja with the strength of the Misty Hidden Imp can't get close.

Now the Japanese can only rely on a rough estimate to know that Xiao Lotian should be in the business district very close to Shuri Castle, but in the end, in that house, they can't lock it down at all.

"There's no way, I'm going to meet Lord Kayama, now we can only rely on adults to forcibly break through, and with our identity, we can't even break through the blockade line......" Perhaps to prove the judgment of the Fog Hidden Imp, at this time, a ninja disguised as a dock stevedore stumbled from a distance with his chest clutched.

As soon as he stood in front of everyone, the ninja began to vomit blood, which was black in color and had a lot of clots inside. "The Qing people secretly sealed off the entire commercial area...... It was the personal command of the surname, and they were so ruthless......" After saying that, it was another mouthful of blood.

The misty imp ripped open the clothes on his chest, only to see a purple-black and purple-black palm print protruding from the skin. "Shhh...... What a domineering Chinese kung fu ......"

Without further ado, the Fog Hidden Imp arranged the task a little, and then rushed towards the Birch Mountain Mansion.

As the clock ticked by, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the banquet on the edge of the cliff was at its hottest. Just when some pro-Japanese officials wanted to step forward to support His Majesty, the pro-China faction represented by Lin Yuanmiao, the head of the household department, hurriedly stepped forward to toast and chatted to stabilize these people.

It was not until this time that Jin Changsen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, realized that his guess was ninety percent accurate, and the obscure information that flowed out of the dark line in the palace before could finally be determined, and the person who came to offer the treasure in early summer was Xiao Letian's messenger, and today must be the day of Xiao Letian's secret meeting with King Shangtai.

Jin Changsen's palms are now full of sweat, and he is the highest-ranking spy planted by the Shimazu family in the imperial court, if this dereliction of duty is known by the Shimazu family governor? Jin Changsen really didn't dare to think about it, he not only fought a cold war.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has also drunk too much, can you let your subordinates serve Your Majesty......" Just as Jin Changsen stood up and was about to follow, Cai Mao, the general of the Royal Forest Army, stretched out his hand to stop him, "Lord Jin is joking, who doesn't know that you are massive, come to you and I will drink three glasses......"

How can a civilian official be the opponent of a military general, let Cai Mao take hands and return to his seat. At this time, King Shangtai had bypassed the curtain and disappeared surrounded by his chamberlains.

King Shangtai, who was out of everyone's sight, disappeared with a blink of an eye, and he bypassed the cover of the most loyal chamberlain where Degong was located, and went straight to the warehouse of the cargo station where Xiao Lotian was.

At this time, under Shuri Castle, in a warehouse full of rice, Xiao Lotian was quietly waiting for the arrival of King Shangtai under the protection of Luo Huo and other musketeers. Xiao Lotian didn't have the slightest impatience, he just quietly tasted the delicious dried seafood of the island country, and a large bottle of Japanese rice wine was kept at hand, and he only drank a little bit for more than an hour.

Air-dried crab feet, small cuttlefish, bamboo shrimp...... All kinds of snacks are delicious, but Xiao Letian in contemplation is not in the mood to pay attention to these foods, and the casual chewing is just to cooperate with his thinking.

At this moment, Xiao Hexin suddenly walked in, "Military advisor, King Shangtai has already arrived...... After a while, a young man with a cloak and a head walked into the cargo station under the protection of two chamberlains.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Xiao Lotian bowed Westernly, but King Shangtai did not return the salute. After being silent for a while, when Xiao Lotian looked up in confusion, he found that the young King Shangtai had tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Shangguo, Xiao Wang begs Mr. for advice...... "King Shangtai bowed and saluted after speaking, and his waist was much bent than Xiao Letian.

Okay, well, it seems that two hundred and fifty years of suppression have made King Shang Tai very clear about his position, and this sane young man knows that it is easy to bow his head and know that humility is easy to do, so that the negotiation will be much smoother.

Xiao Lotian held the hand of King Shangtai and invited him to sit on the straw bale, and said straight to the point, "The population of the Ryukyu Kingdom is only one million, the land is less than a thousand miles, and the resources trapped in the ocean are scarce, so this is not a good place in the first place. His Majesty is proficient in Sinology, and he knows that the Central Plains continent is a million miles long, and its wealth is not only incomparable to Ryukyu, but even a hundred times that of Japan......"

Xiao Lotian first compared the strength of Ryukyu and China with each other, which seemed to be a bit of a shame for King Shangtai, but when he turned around, he was ecstatic.

"It is precisely because of China's vast land and abundant resources that we will never covet the wealth and power of the Ryukyu Kingdom, you must know that the rules of a county in China are far beyond the Ryukyus......" Xiao Letian This is not bragging, Zhili ruled a plain county, the population is no less dense than that of Jiangnan, more than one million people abound, and the wealth of creating zào is not something that a Ryukyu can imagine.

"It's not that I, Xiao, boast about it, although my foreign bank in the Qing Dynasty was only created this year, but my financial resources may have exceeded the Ryukyu treasury...... Therefore, there is no need to worry about what I Xiao will think of the Ryukyu Kingdom, please remember this......"

Ugly words should still be said in the front, and it is better to hide a knot in your heart before the expected cooperation, so it is better to untie him in advance. When King Sangtai heard this, his face turned red and he stood up and bowed deeply.

"What are these words, sir, if Mr. can save Xiao Wang from fire and water, and can save the millions of people in the Ryukyus. I...... I, Mr. Yu, are in this country......"

Xiao Letian was so hung that he was choked to death by the drink, and this is not how to become a king side by side? This young man is too unbearable. But after thinking about it, even if you really give a word side by side king, what can you do, although Ryukyu is a country, but it is too small, and it is just a county on the mainland, and the power of King Shangtai is not as good as a high-class county order on the mainland.

Xiao Letian sincerely helped up King Shangtai, "Your Majesty is in trouble, I only came to Ryukyu to ask for an identity, I don't want His Majesty to pay a tael of silver, on the contrary, I want to give His Majesty a million dollars every year......"

Xiao Lotian simply told King Shangtai about his plan one by one, and the idea of using the excellent location of Naha Port and the countries to do business was very attractive, and King Shangtai was stunned.

In Xiao Letian's plan, King Shang Tai used land, preferential policies and taxes as share capital to participate in Xiao Letian's Lotte Foreign Company, and when the time came, he would form a maritime trade fleet like foreigners and make the business go to the edge of the sky.

"Your Majesty, you think, when the time comes, the foreign bank will give you dividends every year, and can the Japanese share this kind of dividend? If they dare to do it, I will cut off his hands! When we have money, we can form the latest navy and army, and even every soldier of His Majesty's Imperial Forest Army can carry a world-famous gun like Spencer......

Xiao Letian is like a demagogic devil, he pried open the psychological defense line of King Shangtai little by little, and the young foreign worship of China is strong, how can Xiao Letian be so foolish.

King Shangtai gritted his teeth, directly untied his bright yellow belt and handed it over, "Mr. Xiao, this is the edict of the cloth belt, it is written by Xiao Wang with blood, from now on you are the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom......"

Xiao Letian was stunned, this is how many times he has watched the Three Kingdoms, and he really took it as a real trick. You must know that the Ryukyu court followed the official system of the Ming Dynasty, and there was never the position of prime minister, which was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and now in order to highlight the importance of Xiao Letian, King Shangtai actually changed the ancestral system.

"陛xià...... This, this, this...... This official position is so important, how can it be possible in the court?"

King Shangtai said with a sad and indignant face, "The imperial court, does the Ryukyu Kingdom still have a court? Half of them are lackeys of the Shimazu family, and all this king can do is give Aiqing a name, and I can't even provide military protection for Aiqing......" Speaking of this, King Shangtai turned his head and covered his face and cried bitterly.

These are the tears that have been suppressed for two hundred and fifty years, and the Shang Dynasty has been holding back long enough. At this moment, Sima Yun, who was leading the people of the green forest to guard the periphery, suddenly rushed in, "Mr. Xiao, Your Majesty must return to the palace immediately, Huashan Liyuan has already come, it seems that he is going to break into Shuri Castle......"

At this time, on the official road leading to Shuri Castle, Kayama Kurigen was dressed in full costume and led his two civil and military subordinates, blocking the palace gate and trying to break in.

A palace attendant sweated like a pulp, knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Kayama, please wait, please let us report ......" Before he finished speaking, Yamamoto Kiyoshi's big fan-like hand pulled him aside.

"What else do you want to report? We, the Japan and the Ryukyus, have been friendly for hundreds of years, so are we not qualified to participate in this grand event? Look back, we came with gifts, don't you want our goodwill......

Kiyoshi Yamamoto looked around, his contemptuous gaze falling on each Ryukyu soldier. The faces of these Ryukyu soldiers turned white with fright, and their fear of the Japanese had been stored for hundreds of years, and it had long been seared into the bone marrow.

Just when Yamamoto Kiyoshi took the lead and wanted to break in, suddenly a big man rushed up quickly, grabbed his wrist and suppressed him.

"Yamamoto Kiyoshi! This is Shuri Castle, the imperial city of our Ryukyu Kingdom, not you Japan! If you dare to be presumptuous, I will fight with you......" It was Cai Mao who rushed over, this military general with the same name as the commander of the Jingzhou Navy in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is completely different from Cai Mao in the novel, his personality is extremely tenacious, and he is absolutely loyal to the royal family.

When Huashan Liyuan saw that Cai Mao actually jumped out, he secretly scolded in his heart, "Baga! Another pro-China faction has been exposed, and after this incident subsides, the first person to kill is you...... K."
