Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Liu Qidong beside Qin Shou, and said with a smile: "Lord Qin asked Master Liu to take over the affairs of Gutian County in charge of the affairs of the Gutian County, it seems that Lord Qin is very fond of Master Liu, but it is really the same as the hero, Guo also thinks that Master Liu is outstanding, and it is a bit condescending to be the master bookkeeper, so it is better to let him go to Luzon with the official!" ……”

Liu Qidong felt that something was wrong when Guo Zhiyuan swept his eyes to him, and when he heard Guo Zhiyuan say this, he was so frightened that he almost urinated, Guo Zhiyuan was really ruthless, if he really followed Guo Zhiyuan to Luzon, he would definitely die, you must know that Guo Zhiyuan's mission to Luzon this time was very dangerous, and those Spaniards killed more than 20,000 Chinese businessmen! I have done so many bad things against Guo Zhiyuan before, if Guo Zhiyuan throws him into the sea halfway and reports his death in the line of duty when he returns to China, where will he go to shout injustice? !

Thinking of this, Liu Qidong couldn't care about his face anymore, crawled in front of Guo Zhiyuan, hugged Guo Zhiyuan's thighs and cried: "Lord Guo, the lower official is wrong, the lower official should not be against the adult, my lord, you are magnanimous and spare the lower official!" Xia Guan would rather not be the master book, please don't let Xia Guan go to Luzon with you, Xia Guan is incompetent, if you miss the big thing of the adult, it will not be good! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan ignored Liu Qidong, and only shrugged his shoulders at Qin Shou and said: "Lord Qin, you see that the candidates you selected to preside over the official affairs of the Gutian County Ya are ready to resign, and there is no one to preside over the official affairs of the Gutian County Ya, if you don't have a more suitable candidate, then the official recommends Gutian County Cheng Baidu to temporarily preside over the official affairs of the Gutian County Ya on behalf of the official, I don't know what Lord Qin wants?" ……”

Qin Shou was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot, but he knew that no matter who he sent to replace Guo Zhiyuan to preside over the official affairs of Gutian County, Guo Zhiyuan would ask for the people he sent in the name of envoy Luzon, plus he was slapped in the face by Guo Zhiyuan just now, and his momentum had been completely suppressed by Guo Zhiyuan, so he had to smile awkwardly: "Lord Guo is most familiar with Gutian, and the candidate you recommended is naturally very suitable, and it is also in line with the practice to temporarily preside over the official affairs of the county government if the county is not in the county, and this official has no objection......

Guo Zhiyuan's goal had been achieved, and he didn't continue to embarrass Qin Shou anymore, after all, he didn't want to tear his face with the Donglin Party now, so he turned his head to look at Liu Qidong, who was still holding his thighs and pretending to be pitiful there, kicked him away with a shake of his legs in disgust, and said coldly to him: "Liu Qidong, remember, I don't want to see you in Gutian again, if I see you again, I won't let you go so easily!" Now! ……”

Liu Qidong escaped from death, where did he still care about face, and hurriedly ran away, Qin Shou was disgraced in front of Guo Zhiyuan today, and he didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he arched his hand at Guo Zhiyuan embarrassedly and said: "Lord Guo has the important task of envoy Luzon, there must be many things to prepare, and the official is still on official business, so I won't bother Lord Guo, and I will leave!" After saying that, he left with his entourage in a gloomy manner.

The people heard that Guo Zhiyuan was going to leave Gutian to envoy Luzon were very reluctant to surround and stay, many people even shed tears, Guo Zhiyuan was also very emotional, although he has only been in office in Gutian for a year, but he has already had a deep affection for this land, and he will never allow anyone to destroy the beautiful future he planned for Gutian, so just now he will strive to let Bai Du temporarily preside over the official affairs of Gutian County on his behalf, with Bai Du in Gutian, his influence on Gutian will not be weakened, and Gutian will become his most reliable base!

Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan waved to the people and said: "Fellow villagers, Gutian is Guo's second hometown, Guo will never forget Gutian, Guo is just leaving Gutian temporarily, Guo will come back, please rest assured, no matter whether Guo is in Gutian or not, no one will be allowed to destroy the development of Gutian!" Guo will definitely make the lives of the Gutian villagers richer and richer, and the days will get better and better......"

When the people heard that Guo Zhiyuan only left temporarily, they turned sad into joy, and they all cheered, Guo Zhiyuan also bowed his hand to the people with a smile on his face, but as soon as he left the people's sight, the smile on his face was put away, he was majestic in front of Qin Shou and others just now, but in fact he knew very well that this time as a diplomatic envoy to Luzon Island was by no means a beautiful difference, at this time Spain was in the strongest period of its national strength, the powerful Spanish fleet crisscrossed the seas, laying down one colony after another, rarely met opponents, Both the weapons and the technological level of the ships were much more advanced than the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the real competition in diplomatic negotiations was national strength, and it was almost impossible to persuade the Spaniards, who had military superiority, to apologize to the Ming Dynasty for this matter, and to release the surviving Chinese merchants they had imprisoned!

What's more, Guo Zhiyuan clearly knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to go to war with the Spaniards for this matter, which meant that Guo Zhiyuan could not get any military support from the imperial court, which was like playing cards and playing gold flowers, Guo Zhiyuan was holding the smallest deck of cards, and there were no hole cards, but the opponent was holding a straight flush, how to play?

Moreover, although Wanli asked the local officials in Fujian to give Guo Zhiyuan the necessary cooperation in the secret decree, with Guo Zhiyuan's current relationship with Xu Xueju, it is strange that Xu Xueyuan will cooperate with Guo Zhiyuan, and he will burn high incense without secretly making Guo Zhiyuan stumble. It can be said that the time, place, and people are not in Guo Zhiyuan's favor, not to mention that the Spaniards apologize to the Ming Dynasty for this matter and release the surviving Chinese businessmen who were imprisoned by them.

But Guo Zhiyuan can't help but go, on the one hand, it is because he can't resist the decree, which is also his only chance to make a comeback, but more importantly, as a son and daughter of China, Guo Zhiyuan can't be indifferent to such a tragedy that hurts and humiliates the country, and must seek justice from the Spaniards for the more than 20,000 compatriots who died, and rescue the imprisoned Chinese businessmen and people back to China!

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't just rely on the courage of a puppet to go to Luzon and send an envoy to Luzon, that was not to save people, but to send them to death, so after he returned to the county office, he immediately gathered the backbone of his team to discuss, and even Shen Junrong, who was training in the mountains with the New Army, was also called back.

Although the backbone of the team knew that Guo Zhiyuan's mission to Luzon was very dangerous and worried, they also knew that Guo Zhiyuan could not go, so no one dissuaded him, but took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany him to Luzon Island, the most excited thing is Bai Du, his grandfather Bai Santing was a hero on the sea, he naturally wanted to inherit his grandfather's last wish, and pleaded: "My lord, although Bai has no sailing experience, the notes left by his grandfather record a lot of his past sailing experience, which should be helpful to adults. Please take Bai to Luzon together, and let Mr. Xu stay and preside over the official affairs of the county government is enough! ……”

Xu Guangqi was not happy when he heard it, and hurriedly objected: "Then how can it be done?" I have no official position, my name is not right, how to preside over the official affairs of the county government, Xu has never been to the sea, and I want to go to sea to see it, the son must take me with him! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan thought about it, Bai Du's grandfather Bai Santing had a close relationship with the pirate king Wang Zhi, and there must be a lot of resources at sea, which was also one of the reasons why he took a fancy to Bai Du, but it was not easy to mobilize these resources for a while, and it was difficult to provide direct help to him in a short period of time for his mission to Luzon, and he had already said in front of Qin Shou that Bai Du would temporarily take over his official duties in Gutian County, if Bai Du went to Luzon with him, Qin Shou would be able to find a fork, so he patted Bai Du on the shoulder and said: "Brother Bai, don't worry, The promise I made to you at the beginning will definitely come true, and you will definitely have many opportunities to go to sea in the future, this time I will trouble you to stay and preside over the official affairs of the county government, Gutian is my foundation, and there is no room for loss! Bai Du also knew that what Guo Zhiyuan said was reasonable, so he could only nod a little disappointed.

As for Xu Guangqi, Guo Zhiyuan is even more unlikely to let him follow him to adventure, Xu Guangqi, as Guo Zhiyuan's number one think tank, is needless to say important to Guo Zhiyuan, but Xu Guangqi is not good at responding to opportunities, taking him to Luzon can not play a big role, this trip is so dangerous, if Xu Guangqi has an accident, where can Guo Zhiyuan find such a genius of the Kuang Dynasty who knows astronomy and geography to assist him?

So Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly turned to Xu Guangqi and said: "Mr. Xu, please also stay and preside over the official affairs of Gutian County with Brother Bai, only if both of you stay, I can go to Luzon without worries, Gutian is too important to me!" ......" Xu Guangxian also knew the severity, so he didn't insist anymore, nodded and didn't speak again.

After appeasing Xu Guangqi and Bai Du, Guo Zhiyuan turned his head to look at the other backbone members, and before he could speak, Chu Wan'er glared at him and said, "You don't have to look at me, I must go!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan has always had no way to take Chu Wan'er, knowing that even if he doesn't let Chu Wan'er go, she will secretly follow, and Chu Wan'er has good skills, so letting her go can play some role, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you count one!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Shen Junrong next to Chu Wan'er stood up and said in a tone that could not be refused: "Count me in too!" In fact, she didn't say it, Guo Zhiyuan also wanted to take her there, although he didn't want to have an armed conflict with the Spaniards when he sent Luzon this time, but he had to prepare for the worst, then Shen Junrong's outstanding military talent could play a role, so he nodded and said: "Okay, count you in, but this time I don't plan to bring the New Army, we can't go to a head-on conflict with the Spaniards, the New Army is more suitable for group operations, so I'm going to choose fifty of the best regimental training township soldiers, but the regimental training township soldiers are not familiar with naval warfare, I plan to borrow another fifty Sun Mansion family members from Sun Chuan, and I will hand over all these 100 people to you, which is also the biggest force guarantee for our trip, and whether we can return safely depends on you, Miss Shen! ”
