Although he was blindfolded, he was not afraid, and his speed seemed to slow down as the carriage shook. When the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was leaving, the prime minister's profound gaze and solemn entrustment seemed to be still floating in his ears and eyes.

"At present, our huge neighbor to the south has fallen into a great crisis, it is a crisis for the people of the Tang River, but it is a great opportunity for us Kamans, you must take advantage of the opportunity on this trip, and do everything possible to reach a deal with the other party, what I said earlier is our bottom line, you must try to achieve the goal above this bottom line. The prime minister's short and fat figure and flat face were always full of hope that aroused people to strive upward.

"But Prime Minister, are the conditions we gave them too generous, but we don't have much benefit?" he couldn't help but ask, relying on his own Prime Minister's henchmen.

"Take a long-term view, now that we have the thick shield of Gerok in front of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do much until we solve this problem. The reason why we put forward such generous conditions this time is that we want to let them hold back the forces in the north of the Tang River, so that they have no time to take care of the Gerok, and if necessary, we can even support them to make their momentum bigger, as long as we take the Gerok ''''''" There was a sly light in his eyes, but his voice was stunned.

"But my lord, I think that these people alone want to achieve great things, will we have too much hope, we were not ''''''like this a few years ago" The Prime Minister seemed to remember something, of course he didn't know that the Prime Minister remembered his colleague who was on another mission to the Northwest County, but he still felt that his heart was not so steady.

"No, don't underestimate these people now, their level of organization and the scope of their influence are by no means comparable to those stupid peasants of the past, and as far as I know, you will be surprised by the time they have been preparing and what they are hiding behind them, not to mention that it is not us who want to fish in troubled waters, and the Poole seem to be very interested. The flat face looked a little funny when he smiled, but he didn't dare to disrespect the teacher in his heart, and it was only when he heard this sentence that he felt more stable in his heart.

The carriage slowed down more and more, and finally stopped, pulling his thoughts back, and it seemed that he had reached his destination, when a hurried voice sounded in his ears, "Sir, offended, please get off, it's here." ”

The negotiation fell into a long-term stalemate, looking at the brown-clothed man in front of him, he really couldn't figure out what the other party thought, he had turned all the hole cards out, such generous conditions, in his opinion, even if the other party had much strength, he should accept his proposal, but this brown-clothed man was always nitpicky, like a tricky and mean little woman, he really didn't understand how the other party had such a leader.

He got up and said goodbye with some regret, since he couldn't reach an agreement on the bottom line, he himself had nothing to say, but it was a little difficult to explain to the prime minister when he went back.

Looking at the disappearing figure of the other party, the corner of the brown-clothed man's mouth showed a faint smile, and he unhurriedly picked up the "Historical Records" on the case again and tasted it carefully.

The man beside him, who had been silent during the negotiation, finally couldn't hold back, bowed deeply, and asked in an extremely respectful tone: "Senior Young Master, my subordinates really don't understand, so I take the liberty of asking, why don't you agree to the other party's conditions? The conditions they put forward are exactly what we need most now!"

Slowly putting down the book, the man in brown raised his head, a pair of bright eyes dancing with a flame of wisdom in the not-so-bright candlelight, "Well, then why do you say I don't agree to them?"

Scratching his head, although the man standing next to him regarded the brown-clothed man in front of him as a celestial man in his heart, the conditions proposed by that person should be extremely beneficial to his own side no matter how he looked at it, and he really couldn't figure out why the always shrewd young master would refuse the other party's conditions. He shook his head suspiciously, indicating that he couldn't guess the other party's thoughts, and returned his gaze to the face of the man in front of him, hoping that he could solve the confusion in his heart for himself.

"The Kamans have a great appetite, and they are desperate to get our support, no, it should be helped, so that they can operate in Gerok or other parts of the empire, which may be a good thing at first, and will help us attract a lot of attention, but eventually they will also become our enemies, and a rather dangerous enemy, so we must think carefully. Of course, you are right, the conditions they put forward are indeed very tempting and very helpful for us at the moment, but we should not only focus on short-term interests, but also look at the long-term. The brown-clad man's words were full of confidence.

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if their conditions are better, we can't consider it, all conditions are changing anytime and anywhere, I believe they will still come to contact us, and it will bring more favorable conditions." And they are not the only ones we can choose from, and I believe that as long as we make this start, there will inevitably be other partners who will come to the door. ”

After listening to the words of the man in brown, the man standing next to him suddenly opened up in his chest, his vision was so narrow, only limited to the present, but the eldest young master had already thought about the development of the future and even a few years later, and his heart couldn't help but feel happy and convinced.

Silently bowed, quietly withdrew, only the man in brown was left in the huge room, the room was extraordinarily quiet, the candlelight on the desk was blown by the wind that came in from the crack in the room, but the man in brown gently put down the scroll that had been holding in his hand, staring at the fluttering candlelight, a faint melancholy slowly appeared on his face, lingering, "Before the wolf and the tiger, this situation is really out of control, it seems that I have to ask the master for instructions." ”

Lu Wenfu has been a little annoyed recently, looking at the leaves shivering in the cold wind outside the window, he feels even more restless in his heart. It's not just that Li Wufeng's problem, if it's just this problem, maybe he won't be so bothered, after all, Li Wufeng is very capable, but he is still in Yanjing, as long as he is not allowed to return to his own sphere of influence, he will never be able to make much waves.

What's more, according to the information he has in his possession, many heavyweight ministers in the DPRK and China have already launched the "Reverse Li Movement", although Li Wufeng took the initiative to retreat into advance at the court meeting two days ago and expressed his willingness to recuperate for a long time and stay in Yanjing, but Lu Wenfu believes that this will not shake His Majesty the Emperor, who has become suspicious. Because once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and eventually grow into a towering tree, and as the Minister of the Interior, he knows this psychology better than anyone else. And a few days ago, the news He Zhiqiu brought to him was like giving him a reassuring pill, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

But it seems that he intends to go against his rare good mood, and the problem he sent someone to secretly investigate finally has a certain harvest, but this gain makes him feel even more anxious. The thin pages of material in his hand had been read so well that even when he closed his eyes, he could recall every detail of the material, and the harsh facts even kept him awake at night, and several times he wanted to grit his teeth and risk playing His Majesty the Emperor, but he finally gave up on this plan.

In addition to the reason that the Spring Festival is about to be ushered in, the most important factor is that although the special investigation team sent by itself has obtained some important clues, due to the haste of the incident, there are not many valuable things at first, but most of them are things that are well known to everyone on the table, and the whereabouts of these people are secretive, and the geography and personnel involved are too wide and too large, and they have not grasped much definite and reliable evidence in just two or three months。

Rubbing his cheeks a little annoyed, Lu Wenfu paced in his study. This so-called Taiping Holy Sect can attract so many foolish people to participate and donate money and food for it, which shows the great confusion of the surname, but it is a pity that many local governments are insensitive and turn a blind eye, and some even support it, is this really the other party hiding so that people do not find the handle, or is there someone with ulterior motives who deliberately conceal it?

In the latter case, it would be even more terrifying, and who would be the people involved? These people would never be of a low level, and it would not be easy to conceal the pervasive internal affairs departments at all levels of the empire, and there would be only a handful of people to be screened. Thinking of this, Lu Wenfu, who has experienced countless ups and downs over the decades, couldn't help but shudder.

At the same time as receiving the Wufeng special urgent letter to report safety, the 1st Division of the Northwest Reading Force was also officially formed, and when more than 20,000 cavalry rode through the big arena in Qingyang City, the military and political leaders of the Northwest County standing on the high viewing platform did not seem to pay much attention to it. On both sides of the viewing platform were mostly the famous gentry of the entire Northwest County, all of them smiling, the invitation of the political axe made them proud, and the cavalry warriors made them feel more secure about their possessions.

From ear to ear, all kinds of news are also circulating with each other, among which the news that Li Wufeng officially concurrently served as the governor of the empire's North Luzon region made the gentry and celebrities present celebrate, and the industrial and commercial people among them smelled the rolling business tide behind the news, the huge market in North Luzon seems to be about to open to everyone, and the huge resources it has are enough to make the merchants fall asleep and be able to wake up with a smile. I don't know how many millionaires can be created by these two businesses, and in an instant, the businessmen miss Li Wufeng even more in Yanjing, and perhaps he is the only one who makes the businessmen feel very down-to-earth.

And several core people sitting in the middle of the viewing platform were having a headache for the secret letter sent back by Wu Feng.

"In this way, the adults can't come back in a short time?" Ling Tianfang's face turned gloomy and blue.

And Xiao Tang, who was in the middle, was also very sad, and said with a long sigh: "It seems that there must be trouble, maybe we were too optimistic in our prediction before, but from the letter, it seems that the adults are not worried, but the internal situation of the empire mentioned in the letter is becoming more and more complicated, and the variables have also increased greatly, and I am worried that there will be big changes this year, will it mean the problem of the Taiping Sect? Or is it the physical problem of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"It's hard to say, there are too many questions in the middle, and the adult's letter is vague and difficult to judge. Su Qin, who was sitting on the left flank, had already returned from the Western Regions, and it was just a piece of cake for him to destroy the military alliance plan of the five countries in the Western Regions, military intimidation plus coercion and temptation, coupled with the inherent gap in strength between the two sides, made it easy for him to succeed, at this moment he was holding the letter handed to him by Xiao Tang and carefully chewing and analyzing the hidden information between the lines.
