Li You and the others stayed in Li Daozong's annex and tightly sealed the news, and Takahashi Kumiko sent a telegram at this time, which seemed to be a little inappropriate.

The white tiger and the magpie were a little worried, but this matter could not be said, and after discussing it, they decided to secretly strengthen the protection of the prince.

Kumamoto Castle, the royal palace.

Because Takahashi Kazuki wanted to meet and talk with Emperor Chugoku, the special envoy of Emperor Goku, according to the news transmitted by Takahashi Yujing, if he could reach an agreement with the middle eldest brother, he did not want Li You to send troops to the Japanese slave country.

After receiving a telegram from Takahashi Kumiko, he felt much more at ease, so he set off overnight and went to the Satohan Wharf in the north of Kyushu Island, preparing to go to sea to meet the eldest brother and prince.

Two days later, at midnight, in the sea near Horn Island in the north of Kyushu Island, Kazuki Takahashi met with the eldest brother, the prince.

The two first discussed the matter of jointly dealing with Su Ijinlu, and the two had no dispute about this matter, and soon reached an agreement.

Then, the eldest brother said, "After the matter is completed, Your Majesty will announce that the Monobe clan will be rehabilitated and its reputation restored, and you will be the consul's minister." ”

Takahashi Kazuki was satisfied, and he said: "You know, my grandson is the king of the Dongying Islands canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and once the Tang Dynasty army arrives, the entire Dongying Islands belong to our Monobe clan. ”

The eldest brother of the prince said with a smile: "I'm afraid what you said is not right, the Dongying Islands are not Sanhan, and the Tang Dynasty army may not be able to win." Even if the Tang Dynasty wins, the Dongying Islands are not from your monobe clan, but from the Tang Dynasty, and your grandson is named the king of the Dongying Islands, which is just a title, and your family's status is even lower, and it is even better to be the king of Kyushu Island. ”

Takahashi Kazuki was silent.

The eldest brother and prince said solemnly: "This is not the most important thing. The Tang Dynasty is immigrating to Goguryeo, which is not only to destroy the country of Goguryeo, but also to destroy the seed of Goguryeo. Once the Tang Dynasty occupied the Dongying Islands, the fate of this place was the same as that of Goguryeo.

The Monobe clan is also a descendant of Yamato, and when the entire nation is dying, I believe you will make the right choice. ”

Takahashi Kazuki also nodded solemnly and said: "You don't need to say this truth, I naturally understand, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to meet you today." The descendants of the Monobe clan are all patriots, and although Yamato is sorry for our Monobe clan, we will still make the right choice in the face of national righteousness. ”

The eldest brother of the middle prince saluted Takahashi Kazuki and said admiringly: "This kind of patriotism of yours is admirable, and my Yamato nation will not be defeated if there is a wise man like you."

The army of the Tang Dynasty is coming, and you need to come out to stop them at this moment, Her Majesty the Empress said that you can pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and then keep the country first, and then you will definitely have the opportunity to stand on your own in the future. ”

Takahashi Kazuki said: "I have temporarily prevented the Northwest King of the Tang Dynasty from going to the Kyushu Kingdom, and I will propose to him according to this opinion." ”

The eldest brother said: "You are doing the right thing, your son-in-law, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, is a key person, and it is best to be able to do his job." ”

Takahashi Kazuki said dissatisfiedly, "You sent that female assassin, right?" She almost killed my son-in-law. However, she failed and has already been arrested. This incident infuriated him, and it was much more difficult to do his job now. ”

The eldest brother prince was surprised and frustrated, and he said: "This heroine is my cousin, but she is also Su I's cousin, and he sent her. ”

Then, he said enviously: "The news that you can reach Chang'an so quickly, it seems that this is the legendary Shunfeng ear." "He's talking about the radio.

Takahashi Kazuki said: "If you want the Tang Dynasty to agree to keep the Yamato Kingdom, you must stop doing things against His Royal Highness the Northwest King, otherwise there will be no room for things to turn around." Also, if you have any actions in the future, please inform me in time. ”

The eldest brother said tentatively: "Can you provide me with one of your kind of radio stations, otherwise it will be difficult to get in touch with you in time." ”

Kazuki Takahashi said, "I've thought about this, and I'll find a way to get it for you." ”

The eldest brother and the prince were overjoyed and said, "That's great." ”

Then, he asked curiously: "You have this kind of radio station, and there are skilled craftsmen on the island of Kyushu, why don't you copy it?" ”

Kazuki Takahashi shook his head and said, "Not at all. "Looks like he's tried.

Next, they talked about some more details and then left.

The next morning, Kumamoto Castle, the Imperial Palace.

Takahashi Taro said to Ayumi Hamasaki, "My father left the palace last night and I don't know where he went. ”

Ayumi Hamasaki didn't speak, he knew Taro Takahashi's habits and knew that he would say it next, and sure enough, Taro Takahashi said: "I asked the telecommunications room, Jiumiko called last night and said that His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest could not come for the time being." ”

Ayumi Hamasaki said worriedly: "The Japanese slave country has recently shown signs of attacking Kyushu Island, and His Royal Highness the Northwest King can't come down, just relying on the strength of our Kyushu country, I'm afraid it won't be able to deal with the enemy." ”

At this time, a guard came to report, and he said, "Your Highness, the general of the Tang Dynasty has asked to see you." The Tang Dynasty general he was talking about was Niu Jinda, the general of the Tang Army, Zuo Xiaowei, and the Tang Army on Kyushu Island was currently under his command.

Takahashi said, "Please." ”

Soon, Niu Jinda walked in, and after the two sides saluted, he said, "Your Highness, where did Your Majesty go?" ”

Takahashi said, "I haven't seen Your Majesty either, but I heard that I went to visit the sick, and I was in a hurry. ”

Niu Jinda said: "Yesterday, I received a notice from the Ministry of War, saying that His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has left Chang'an, and he will go to Baekje first, and then he will come to Kyushu Island. ”

Takahashi Taro and Ayumi Hamasaki glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised, and said in their hearts: "His Royal Highness the Northwest King has temporarily stayed in Chang'an, it seems that Niu Jinda doesn't know, what is going on?" ”

Takahashi Taro said: "General Niu, I know, as soon as my father returns, I will report to him immediately." ”

A few days later, Chang'an City.

Kumiko Takahashi has been very uncomfortable these days, she has been taking medicine every day, not only to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, but also to secretly take poison, she doesn't know how long her father Kazuki Takahashi is going to make her delay, so she can't get better too quickly.

Although this poison is not fatal, it can make people dizzy, nauseous, and very uncomfortable after eating.

Li You accompanied her when he was fine, and when he saw that she was uncomfortable, he felt uncomfortable, so in order to relieve her mood, he told her the story of "The Story of the Stone" to pass the time.

Seeing that her powerful husband took care of herself so carefully, Takahashi Kumiko was very moved and a little worried, after all, she deceived him, and she always felt a little sorry for him.

On this day, Kumiko Takahashi finally waited for Takahashi Kazuki's telegram, but the contents of the telegram made her head hurt even more.
