"They are all rare beauties. If His Majesty the Emperor had known about it, he might have asked them to come to the palace to serve. Xiyuan Temple Gongwang nodded with a smile and quipped.

"They are too young, and they don't understand the rules of the palace, if they enter the palace, they are afraid that Her Majesty the Queen and the Quan Dian's servants will work hard to teach, so that the palace will be uneasy." Ito Hirobumi said with a smile, "This is definitely not the duty of your subordinates!" ”

Listening to Ito Hirobumi's words, Saionji Gongwang couldn't help but laugh.

"Besides, if His Majesty the Emperor knew their true origins, I am afraid that they would never be allowed to enter the palace." Hirofumi Ito said with a smile while letting Shiori Kisaragi give him a wide coat.

Mr. Shunsuke laughed and portrayed us as if we were demons. Are we that scary? Kaori said angrily.

"Oh? Aren't they chaki girls (geisha)? Saionji Gongwang was keenly aware of what Ito Hirofumi said, and immediately asked.

"They're my pawns in Kagoshima." Ito Hirobumi smiled slightly and replied in a low voice.

"I see! ......" Saionji Gongwang understood, he seemed to understand the purpose of Ito Hirobumi bringing him here, and a bright color flashed in his eyes.

"And, this time, I have more important things for them to do." Ito Hirobumi looked at the two girls beside the two of them, who looked gentle and virtuous with low eyebrows, "Only they can do it." ”

"Shunsuke is saying, Lin Yiqing? ......," Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked tentatively.

"Those who know me, Tao Anye." Hirobumi Ito nodded.

After the two sat down, the two sisters brought the food and wine to the coffee table, Shiori Rutsuki sat next to Hirobumi Ito, and Kaori Rutsuki sat next to Kobo of Saionji.

Kaori Kisaragi picked up the "shamisen" and sang, her voice was delicate and tactful, and it was extremely moving, but at this time, Hirobumi Ito seemed to be deaf to this beautiful sound, and instead looked at Shiori Kiratsu beside her and asked.

"What news have you gotten these days?" Hirobumi Ito asked.

"That person named Lin Yiqing once secretly left Kagoshima and went to Qianguo." Shiori Kisaragi replied in a low voice, "During his departure from Kagoshima, he arranged for others to pretend to be himself. Leaving with him were Chiho Kirino, a student at the Naval Academy named Yusaku Uehara. ”

"How did you find out?" Hearing Shiori Kirizuki's answer, Ito Hirobumi's face changed slightly, and the expression of the prince of Saionji here also became focused.

"No matter how realistic the impostor is, after a long time, he will show his feet." Shiori Rutsuki skimmed over the technical details and said, "According to my estimates, he probably stayed in Qianguo for about a month. Because it was a month before the impostor disappeared. ”

"What will he do when he goes to Qianguo?" Ito's gaze instantly became sharp.

"I think we should go and buy Western guns for the Marine Academy." Shiori Ruyue said lightly.

"What?!" Ito Hirobumi and Saionji Gongwang's faces changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison, thanks to the singing voice of Kaori Kiratsuki, they did not alarm the people outside.

"How did you know for sure he went to buy guns for the Marine Academy?" Hirobumi Ito asked.

"During his absence, the Kagoshima prefectural government distributed all the old guns in the armory to various military schools for 'swordsmanship' training," Shiori Kiratsu replied with a calm face, "and shortly after his return, a merchant ship from the country of Qianguo came to Kagoshima and secretly unloaded the cargo at night, and no one knew what the cargo was, so I went to the docks to check it out and picked it up." ”

Shiori Kisaragi said, took a small wooden box, and presented it to Hirobumi Ito with both hands.

Ito carefully opened the lid of the box, revealing some scraps of paper and finely shredded lead, as well as some black powder, and a flattened brass case.

Ito Hirobumi was stunned at first when he saw these things, and then he picked up a little black powder with his fingers and sent it to his nose to smell it, and his face changed again.

That's the propellant of a bullet!

"It's a rifle bullet." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang had experienced the battle array, and recognized the contents of the box at a glance, which was a broken bullet.

"The cartridge casings have French letters on them, and they were transported by merchant ships from Qianguo, and many of Qianguo's muskets were purchased from France." Shiori Kisaragi continued.

"Not only that, but the gun factory under the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau in Qianguo can already produce French-style firearms." Ito Hirobumi picked up the copper bullet case and looked at it repeatedly, and when he saw the French letters on it, his face sank for a moment.

"This Lin Yiqing, like Lin Yizhe, is afraid that he will become the most dangerous enemy of the empire......" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said in a deep voice.

"We have to start taking action now." Hirobumi Ito put the copper shell back into the box and said thoughtfully.

"How are we going to take action?" The prince of Xiyuan Temple asked with some eagerness.

"Didn't I just say that? It's a task that only they can accomplish. A strange smile appeared on the corner of Ito's mouth, and his eyes immediately swept back and forth over the two sisters in front of him.

As if she didn't feel the slightest sense of Hirobumi Ito's strange gaze, Shiori Ruzuki lowered her head and gently filled the glasses of Hirobumi Ito and Konobo Saionji with sake, while Kaori Rutsuki still plucked the "shamisen" and sang a beautiful song.

"They...... May I? Xiyuan Temple Gongwang understood and asked again.

"This person should be the same as Lin Yizhe, the biggest weakness is women." Ito Hirobumi smiled and said, "His wife, the sister of the Minister of the Qianguo, is a rare beauty, but he doesn't seem to be satisfied, and he still wants to get the famous 'Satsuma no Hana', which shows that he likes beautiful women very much." ”

Xiyuan Temple Gongwang recalled the love in Lin Yiqing's eyes when he looked at Chiho Kirino at the wedding banquet, and couldn't help but nodded.

"Does Mr. Shunfu want us to get acquainted with that Qianguo man named Lin Yiqing?" Shiori Kisaragi heard what Hirobumi Ito wanted them to do, and asked in a low voice.

"You don't need to take the initiative to get acquainted with him, I will bring him and introduce you to him." Ito Hirobumi pondered for a moment and replied, "Your task is to attract him to you often, to charm him, and to extract useful information from his mouth. ”

"Is it just to get information?" Shiori Kisaragi slowly raised her head, looked directly at Hirobumi Ito and asked.

"Let's see how things develop!" Ito hesitated for a moment and clenched his fists sharply, "I need you to kill him if necessary!" No matter how it works! ”
