On the 19th day of the third month of the first year of Zhengde, Japanese envoys Ōuchi Yoshihide and Hosokawa Seimei were ordered by King Yongzheng to pay homage to the Emperor of Ming Destiny.
The sun rose from the east and the envoys stood solemnly in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Chariots, chariots, dragon pavilions, elephants and horses were displayed inside and outside the Meridian Gate. In the courtyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, flags fluttered in the wind, swords and spears stood in great numbers and the generals of the Great Han stood proudly.
After Liu Daxia's resignation, Liu Yu, as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, was temporarily acting as the Minister of Defense. He was in the process of changing the defenses of the capital army and the border army. In a few days, the commanders of the four towns of Datong, Xuanfu, Yansui, and Liaodong would be leading their troops to the capital to defend the capital. Yang Ling was now the Dragon-Tiger General of the Pillar of the Nation, the commander of the four towns, and the Mighty Marquis. Naturally, he had the right to enter the golden palace to discuss politics.
Therefore, he came to the palace in a neat robe and a jade belt. The Six Ministries and Nine Ministers stood in the front row. Hangul stood in the middle with a gloomy expression. When he heard about the unforeseen event in the capital from the northern border, he rushed back to the capital, flustered and exasperated. But by that time, the general situation was already over. The six ministries and nine ministers in the capital, other than him, either belonged to Liu Jin's faction or Yang Ling's faction. With his strength alone, it would be difficult for him to make a ruckus.
At three o 'clock in the morning, two drums sounded. The civil and military officials entered the Forbidden City from the east and west gates of the Meridian Gate. They stood solemnly in the courtyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony according to their status, rank and yamen.
The whip was cracked three times, the drums were beaten once, and the 'Song of the Flying Dragon' was played. Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a royal crown, rode on an elephant carriage, with tigers and leopards leading the way. Under the guidance of the guides, he entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and ascended to the throne.
At such a solemn moment, Emperor Zhengde was still smiling, without the slightest sign of solemnity, but between his brows there was a high-spirited and vigorous air, he had a rather heroic air. He slowly sat down and called out, "Everyone, please rise!"
The civil and military officials stood up and stood on the left and right. Liu Jin held a horsetail whisk and stood on the side of the table. He raised his voice and said, "Summon the emissaries of the Japanese to the Celestial Dynasty, Ōuchi Yoshi and Hosokawa Seimei!"
The arrogance of Uchiha Uchiha and Nishikawa Seimei had long since disappeared. They had walked all the way from the Meridian Gate, and when they saw the majestic and majestic aura of the royal family, they felt even more respect. One of them was holding a watch, while the other was holding a book of etiquette. They entered the main hall under the guidance of a ceremonial official. They stopped at their pre-arranged seats and respectfully knelt down according to the etiquette of the Great Ming Dynasty officials.
Ōuchi Yoshiyama unfolded the table and read aloud in Chinese, "Japan's King, Minister Katsuhito, respectfully to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Zhengde: Heaven and Earth, return to the Chinese wind; sweet dew and auspicious clouds, strive to offer the song of auspicious wheat. Therefore, the Heavenly Revelation is great and bright, and all nations are illuminated. The sea is calm, and China occupies peace and tranquility. As long as one is in Shuibing, there is no one who is unreliable.
Only His Majesty is a saint and a god, only in literature and only in martial arts, shining upon the Yao and Shun Classics, surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties. Spread Ming Ming Destiny to the world, far and wide; hope for Chang An to the side of the sun, always a section. The special envoy of the Imperial Household courageously bowed to the Imperial Court, looking up to the Holy Mercy, examining his heart, expressing his sincere concern. This subject, Sheng Ren, is filled with reverence and trepidation, and will respectfully speak. "
Once the Great Minister of the Interior Righteousness and Courage had finished reading, Hosokawa Seiaki raised the ceremonial book and read, "Minister Katsuhito respectfully writes to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming: Ever since the founding of Japan, there has never been a place without enlistment to the Great Ming. The righteousness of the country is blessed, and there is no need to worry about the sea. In accordance with the rules of the past, the emissary, Hosokawa Seihime, came to an agreement.
Offerings: Two broadswords with loose gold scabbard handles, one hundred broadswords with black lacquer scabbard handles, one hundred spears, one hundred long sabers, ten swords at the waist, one collar of armor, one collar of copper pellets, ten thousand catties of sulphur, twenty agate sized pieces, three sets of gold-plated screens, one inkstone and box, one Tongwen table. Sheng Ren is filled with reverence and trepidation, and will respectfully speak. "
Hearing this, Emperor Zhengde secretly calculated in his heart. Although he did not think much of these gifts, the scale of these gifts was a lot more valuable than the gifts presented by Emperor Yong Le in the past. It seemed like what Yang Qing said was true, this Japanese King really put in a lot of effort, emptying out the royal family's meager resources.
Zhengde was delighted, with a beaming face he said, "Emissaries, please rise. Liu Jin receives the letter of credence from Japan, Wang Hua announces Zhen's reply."
Liu Jin busily directed two of Xiao Huang's underlings to receive the two emissaries' letter of credence and present them in front of Zhengde.
Wang Hua stepped forward slowly, first he bowed to Zhengde, and then he turned to the crowd of ministers and announced, "Obeying the will of the Heaven, the Emperor, the Imperial Edict says: Those who pay tribute, work hard, understand etiquette, reach the monarch and his ministers, father and son, will be called China. And outside of China, there are kings who can come because of righteousness, it is not impossible to enter. The King of Japan, Sheng Ren, with the heart of the royal family, with the sincerity of love for the monarch, crossed the waves and sent emissaries to the court, I am very pleased … "
In the past, Ming Destiny's gifts to the tributes of various countries had always been several times or even more than ten times. He was extremely generous. Yang Ling thought that the tribute system, which only suffered losses but did not benefit from it, would soon cease to exist in name, and would be changed to civilian trade, so this time he did not have to be too stingy.
In addition, when Emperor Zhengde heard from Yang Ling that the King of Japan even relied on selling calligraphy and paintings to maintain the royal family's expenses, he felt that it was too pitiful for the ruler of a country to be in such a situation, so the gifts were very generous, silk, calligraphy and paintings, and even 100,000 copper coins. He also officially announced the lifting of the sea ban, and free trade with other countries.
Yang Ling stood in the hall, and after hearing the announcement of the decree, he let out a long breath from his chest. Looking at the ray of sunlight outside the hall, his heart was very excited: the most important thing was finally completed!
Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the peasant emperor who was talented and bold, but knew nothing about the sea, made the unprecedented move to ban the sea for the first time, this intermittent national policy that affected the entire history of the Han people finally came to an end.
I don't have the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, nor do I have the philosophy of the present, but I have completed this big thing, like pouring a clear stream into a pool of stagnant water that gradually began to solidify and stink. I believe that the people of China, who have created the greatest and longest history of civilization, can make the right choice in the future …

Young-niang was doing needlework, Lian'er and Gao Wenxin also knew how to do needlework, but they were not very proficient, so they sat beside her and chatted with her, sometimes passing needlework and cloth. The three of them did not know what they were talking about, but from time to time, they would giggle.
Yutang Chun, Sheridan, and Tang Yixian were in the hall on the other side of the hollowed out window, sitting on the bed, fiddling with the zither and flute, light and elegant music sounded from time to time.
"The trade in the north of the Great Wall has already started, the army has bought a large number of good Mongolian horses, and the people are trading frequently, the momentum is good. What I mean is … when the people have a lot of money, there will be more people willing to do business in the north, and even settle down there.
Think about it again, because of this, taverns, restaurants, gambling houses, brothels, inns, ticket shops, and horse and carriage shops all need people, we can hire Mongolians and Jurchens, of course, there will also be a large number of Han people who will be attracted by the profits. In addition, we will send people to raise horses, and teach the Mongolians and Jurchens how to farm …
The three Duoyan Guards and the three Jurchens do not have many people, and the internal tribes are very messy, so a simple marriage can often cause the two tribes to merge. In this way, I think it will only take ten years to assimilate the entire Liaodong region without a drop of blood. "
"Yes!" Yang Ling half reclined on the bamboo chair in the study, nodded slightly and said, "I have already spoken to the Ministry of Punishments, in the future, no more criminals will be sent to Qinghai, Guizhou, or Yunnan, all to Liaodong.
Farming and doing business can be done, except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, they will be punished in place of punishment, and settle down to reduce their crimes. In this way, their families can also be brought over, and every year, the number of people can reach tens of thousands. The trade department will use the local taxes that are legally withheld to lend them some seeds, cattle, and provide some convenience, so they can settle down there and put down their roots. "
Cheng Qiyun smiled sweetly and said, "Although daren's plan is slow, it is a long-term plan. After all, that is the place where the foreign tribes live. If we forcibly occupy it, unless we slaughter their entire tribe, we will not be able to force the hearts of the foreign tribes to submit.
Under this kind of imperceptible influence, when they wear Han clothes, speak Han, and even eat and sleep like the Han, when they open their eyes and see that most of the people around them are Han people, they will not realize it, but they have already been conquered by the Han people. Haha, daren's plan of not using weapons is actually more lethal than a million troops. "
Yang Ling nervously opened his eyes and said, "Don't say it, please don't say it. A few days ago, you praised me for not using weapons, but a person was stewed at the market entrance. I carefully thought about it, it is quite strange. Every time we do something big, a few people will die. I hope nothing happens to Liaodong, otherwise …"
Cheng Qiyun giggled, covered her mouth and said, "Daren also has something to be afraid of? I really did not see that daren is so refined, but his methods are actually so ruthless. A living person was slowly stewed just like that. Ai, such ruthless methods are actually praised by the people of the capital as a Buddha. "
Cheng Qiyun wore a light purple embroidered jacket, a fish belly white crepe shirt, white muslin pants, and a lily-embroidered skirt. She wore a pair of embroidered shoes, her black hair was tied up in a goose gourd bun, her face like a hibiscus, and her skin like snow. Not only was her appearance bright and beautiful, but in front of Yang Ling, her every frown and every smile unknowingly became more and more delicate and cute, really like a girl who was a few years younger than him.
Yang Ling said, "This is nothing. If this was done five hundred years later, I'm afraid it would not only be the people of the capital who would be jumping in joy."
"What?" Cheng Qiyun's bright eyes turned and she asked doubtfully.
Yang Ling suddenly laughed, "The flowers are blooming in this season, the sea ban is also open, I think the future will be different. Hehe, if this is the case, then the people five hundred years later will not have this kind of hatred."
Cheng Qiyun did not know what he was talking about, but her cleverness was that if the man she wanted to please wanted to feign ignorance, she would not get to the bottom of it. Cheng Qiyun took the initiative to change the topic, "How is the situation on Bayan's side?"
Yang Ling said, "As we expected, Huo Xi has already formed an alliance with Wala and is beginning to stir. The tribes they control have already provoked Bayan Khan's tribe twice, but Bayan is not stupid. He actually endured it and prevented the situation from escalating. But it is unavoidable that his prestige has been greatly affected, and there are already many dissatisfaction among the tribes. It is only because he is a direct descendant of the Huang Jin family and is the rightful Khan that no one dares to openly rebel against him even though he has suffered a great defeat."
Cheng Qiyun's eyes twinkled, and she laughed in spite of herself, "The internal guards are not to be trifled with, right? I think they are creating all kinds of rumors, when will the Manduhai Empress come in handy? "
Yang Ling laughed, "I can't hide it from you. I want them to skillfully ruin Bayan's reputation, but now is not the time. If the war starts now, the newly opened market trade and the full penetration into Liaodong will be affected. Moreover, I have evaluated the strength of Huo Xi and Wala, and they are still not Bayan's match.
Sometimes, patience is also a kind of ability. I want to wait until Bayan is internally divided, and when all the tribes have the intention to leave, then I will hand Manduhai to Huo Xi, giving him an excuse to crusade against Bayan. "
Cheng Qiyun sat on the brocade stool beside the reclining chair and raised her head slightly. She gazed at Yang Ling's leisurely and contented expression, her eyes faintly revealing admiration and admiration, "Now the soldiers from the four towns are being transferred back to the capital, is Milord preparing to train the new army?"
"Not me, but the Emperor. Remember, you can't be wrong on this point, it is His Majesty the Emperor who wants to train the new army." Yang Ling corrected.
The two were less than three feet apart. As soon as he looked up, he saw Cheng Qiyun's beautiful face. On her white jade-like face, her watery eyes contained infinite affection. Yang Ling couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Cheng Qiyun smiled knowingly and said, "The guns of Jacob and the other missionaries have made great progress. The range of the guns has reached six hundred feet, the firing speed is several times faster than traditional guns, and the accuracy has improved. It is not afraid of rainy weather. Milord, are you preparing to fully equip the new army?"
Yang Ling shook his head and said, "No, it has to be used in conjunction with the cavalry, archers, and so on. Currently, it seems that it is more useful to use it to defend a city. Even though there has been great progress, such guns can't fight against a large group of cavalry alone, and it takes a long time to make them.
If we can make a large number of portable cannons with amazing destructive power, then it will be a sharp weapon. Think about it, if we encounter an enemy, we first have to concentrate fire, then the heavy cavalry will charge, and finally the infantry and chariots will work together to cover the enemy. Only then will we have a guarantee of victory against the Mongolian cavalry.
It is a pity … now that we have a guaranteed source of horses, it will not be a problem to train chariots, infantry, and cavalry. However, the current cannons are not only cumbersome, but also have an extremely slow firing speed. It is difficult to use them to attack and can't be used to chase after the Mongolian cavalry. I still have to pay attention to the training of the traditional army. "
He was quiet for a while and suddenly said, "As far as I know, the Western cannons have their own strengths. It would be good if we can imitate them and use them as a reference. I have asked people to check the files of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites. In the 16th year of Hongzhi, there was a Western pirate ship that ran aground in Guangxi. The cannons on the ship were different from the cannons of the Central Plains, but no one paid attention to it. Now, even the scattered parts of the cannons can't be found. I have ordered attention. If there are any more Western pirates, we must find a way to get a cannon."
Cheng Qiyun said softly, "Tianjin, Ningbo, and Quanzhou have opened the sea and lifted the ban. They have set up shipping departments and customs offices respectively. Among the three, the one with the largest scale and the most trade with the various countries is Ningbo Port. Gu Daeyong has been ordered to head south to take charge of the matter. The four naval divisions are also being built on the foundation of the original naval division. The crops are also growing well … Your Excellency's wishes have almost all been fulfilled.
It is a cause for celebration. "Yang Ling was quiet for a while before he said softly," Many of these things have relied on you to help me plan and plan, or else I would not have been able to do it alone. I really have to thank you. These deeds will be passed down for generations to come. When I am old, I will definitely write a book and write it down so that the future generations will remember how much effort a woman has put in and how much she has contributed to this. "
Cheng Qiyun's heart ached. "Your wishes have all been fulfilled. Are you willing to help me fulfill my wish? I am a woman, why would I want my name to go down in history? Why would I want the future generations to remember me? I don't care, I just want you to remember me in your heart. "
But just as she was about to say it, she suddenly felt an extreme sense of inferiority. The higher Yang Ling's status was, the more she felt that the distance between them was unreachable. All she could hope for now was to stay by his side, to be able to see him every day, and that would be enough.
But … what did Daren mean by summoning her alone today?
Yang Ling had invested a great deal in the early stages of the trade plan that had begun in the north and south at the same time. The court had just experienced the construction of the imperial mausoleum and the Great Harmony War and could not afford such a large expenditure. Whether it was the effects of the improved crops or the trade, it would not be effective until this time next year. Thus, if they wanted to raise money, they had to think of other ways.
They had to form an ocean-going fleet and rope in the aristocratic families of Jiangnan to join. From there, they could form an enormous body of interest to solidify the results of the trade in Jiangnan and Ming Destiny. They could also use their enormous wealth and connections to reduce the burden on the court. Shipbuilding, trade, and naval operations could be carried out using people's power. This would prevent the plan from failing due to the heavy burden on the treasury. This was something that Yang Ling placed great importance on right now. Was he going to send her back to Jiangnan?
Cheng Qiyun panicked inside. Her eyelids drooped. She said probingly, "As long as Daren's wish is fulfilled, it is fine. This lowly officer wants to know … how does Daren plan to arrange Miss Lian 'er, and … will this lowly officer stay in the inner factory or go back to Jiangnan?"
Yang Ling thought and then said, "Return to Jiangnan."
Cheng Qiyun had expected this, but hearing Yang Ling speak so heartlessly without any intentions of keeping her, she couldn't help but feel a wave of bitterness. She lowered her head and said, "Yes … this lowly officer will listen to Daren's arrangements."
"I've asked Elder Jiao in private. Loyalty and filial piety. Men serving in the imperial court can still pay attention to loyalty and filial piety. But if they don't, they can't take away their official duties. The period of filial piety is not over yet, and if people find out that I'm being impeached daily for not being filial, and the late Emperor was very particular about filial piety, I will be in a very passive position.
Jiangnan is too important, and I can't stop worrying about Gu Daeyong. In the future, I will have to frequently travel between the two capitals. In any case, Lian 'er will have to show her face in front of the villagers every once in a while, and I can't stop worrying about the matters of Jiangnan other than you. So it is better to return to Jiangnan. "
So Yang Ling was also going to frequently travel to Jiangnan. Then … wouldn't it be more convenient for her to interact with him alone? Cheng Qiyun was overjoyed. A sweet smile bloomed on her face.

Zhang Yong valiantly stood in front of Zhengde, his fists tightly clenched, his face red, his chest rising and falling. Seeing this, Zhengde wanted to laugh. He hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, I'll call him over and ask. You are my left and right arms, what kind of trouble is this?"
Zhang Yong was seething with anger and said in an aggrieved tone, "Liu Jin is becoming more and more of a scoundrel. Ever since the Emperor decided to move the soldiers of the four towns into the capital and the stipends would be paid by the Inner Works, Liu Jin has played the fool and twisted the Emperor's will. He has cut off my capital's stipend and wants me to go find Sir Yang to ask for money. If this can be tolerated, how can it not be tolerated?"
Zhengde thought for a moment and guessed that if these words were really said by Liu Jin, they were also words of anger. The original soldiers of the capital were moved to the border. The stipend was still from the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War transferred it to the Department of Rites and then to the capital camp. In other words, these people were still under Zhang Yong's control. It was just that the station had been moved.
When the four towns' soldiers moved to the capital, other than the administration still attached to the Commander-In-Chief of the Five Armies, they were actually equivalent to the Emperor's private soldiers. They were not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War or the Commander-In-Chief of the Five Armies. Instead, they served the Emperor directly and were commanded by Yang Ling. So the Inner Works decided that the stipend of these people would be paid by the Inner Works. This strengthened the relationship between the four towns' soldiers and the Emperor. Zhengde was naturally happy. He didn't expect Liu Jin to see that he couldn't interfere and was under the control of the four towns' soldiers. He actually became jealous.
Zhengde chuckled. "Old Liu probably said it in a moment of anger. If the Department of Rites doesn't allocate the money, who will? What's more, the Department of Taxation has been handed back to him and the Ministry of Revenue. Old Liu is still very serious about his work … "
As he said this, Liu Jin had already rushed over excitedly. Although he was now jointly in charge of the Department of Taxation with the Ministry of Revenue, he still felt that his backbone was strong. He was enjoying his time as the Prime Minister of the internal court.
Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng had left, and a large power gap had appeared in the capital. Many of the officials who were subordinate to them were hesitant and hesitant, not knowing who they should join. If they chose the wrong side, their careers would be greatly affected. Liu Jin's trusted aide, the scholar of Song Jiang, Zhang Wenmian, saw that his plan to raise Liu Jin into the cauldron and roast him with fire had not seen any results. He decided to change his strategy. He would move steadily and surely, then consolidate Liu Jin's power and suppress Yang Ling. At this time, the most important thing was to keep the power of the various factions in the capital in the hands of Liu Jin as much as possible.
But with Yang Ling in the capital, as long as there was the slightest movement here, how could his capable advisors not pay attention? What's more, there were also people like Zhang Cai and Liu Yu, who were sitting on the fence, wavering between Yang Ling and Liu Jin. There was no guarantee that none of them would leak information to Yang Ling. Thus, Zhang Wenmian imitated Yang Ling and prepared to lure the tiger away from the mountain, using a stratagem to move Yang Ling away from the capital.
He revealed this idea to Liu Jin. Liu Jin also thought it was a good idea, but he couldn't think of a way to move the most favored person in front of the Emperor, the Marquis of Wei Wu, and the Great General out of the capital. Thus, he secretly ordered his trusted aide to start gathering important information from all over the capital to see if there was a chance.
Liu Jin was happily discussing at home, as if a great blueprint had been laid out in front of him. Thus, when he heard that the Emperor was looking for him, he happily rushed over. When he arrived outside the hall, he just happened to hear the praise of 'Old Liu is quite serious in handling matters'. He was very happy and excitedly rushed in, smiling, "Old Slave pays his respects to Your Majesty. When I heard Your Majesty summon me, I immediately came over. You …"
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yong saw him enter and screamed, "Ah!". With a 'Da Peng Spreads Its Wings', he jumped up a foot high and fiercely punched, hitting Liu Jin's cheek with a 'Peng Peng Peng'. Liu Jin fell on his buttocks, a bruise on his face. As soon as he saw that it was Zhang Yong who had hit him and was glaring at him angrily, he immediately counterattacked with a 'Monkey Plucks the Peach'.
Two eunuchs wearing official robes and jade belts, with overwhelming power and influence, started to fight in front of Zhengde. Zhang Yong knew martial arts and seized the opportunity to beat Liu Jin up. Seeing this, Zhengde was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Stop! All of you stop! What kind of propriety is this? "
Although most of the time Zhengde himself did not pay attention to propriety, as an official and a servant, he could not ignore it. As soon as he saw Zhengde was really angry, Zhang Yong used his knee to hit Liu Jin's lower abdomen heavily, and then crawled up.
Liu Jin squinted his red and swollen eyes and grabbed, 'rip!' a piece of his gown was torn. Seeing his official robe was torn, Zhang Yong felt a bit distressed; he kicked Liu Jin's thigh again. Zhengde angrily said, "Stop, Zhang Yong, you are not allowed to hit him anymore."
Zhang Yong turned his head around and said in a very aggrieved manner, "Your Majesty, the Old Slave has not finished speaking. The Old Slave went to find him to reason with, but he unexpectedly posted a notice in the inner court, informing all the guards in the Imperial Palace that from now on, the Old Slave is not allowed to enter the Palace. The Old Slave is the commander of the Capital Barracks, protecting Your Majesty's safety, but unexpectedly he was humiliated like this in the Forbidden City. The Old Slave has lost all his face."
Zhengde saw that Liu Jin was speaking in an agitated manner, slapping his own cheeks as he spoke. He also felt that Liu Jin had gone a bit too far. He could not help glaring at Liu Jin and shouted, "Both of you, get up, don't fight anymore. You are already so old, fighting all day over such a small matter, are you afraid people will laugh at you?"
Zhengde called the two of them up and consoled them. The two of them were angry, but in front of Zhengde, they did not dare to show it. They only stared at each other with their eyes wide open, like two fighting roosters.
Zhengde watched helplessly. Suddenly he remembered that ever since the Japanese envoy paid tribute and the announcement of the opening of the sea ban, these past few days the Six Ministries constantly went to the Leopard Room to ask for instructions on all kinds of related matters. For a moment he could not get away; he really missed Tang Yixian. Taking advantage of today's free time, there was no harm in letting Yang Ling take her to the Leopard Room and accompany her to see the tigers and leopards.
As for these two living treasures … Zhengde looked at the two of them and said, "You are my close people, wholeheartedly working for me. How can you let your emotions affect your decision and harm our friendship because of a small quarrel? How about this, since you are already here, don't leave. I'll call Yang over and we'll prepare a banquet. You can meet each other and forget about your grudges. "
Liu Jin and Zhang Yong each glanced at each other with a pair of panda eyes. Then, they suddenly turned their heads away, opened their lips, and let out a soft "Bah".
"His Majesty wants to summon Miss Tang to the Leopard Room?" Jieyu asked anxiously.
"Yes, it seems that His Majesty cares a lot about her. He personally ordered everyone in the Leopard Room not to reveal his identity. He said that he wants to accompany Miss Tang to see the tigers and leopards," Shyflower said indifferently.
Jieyu rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, this is an opportunity. We'll act according to the situation and think of a way to separate them. We'll get information from Miss Tang and find out who she really is."
At this point, she frowned and said, "However, the Mind-manipulating Spell has been used and she will remember it. It will be difficult to explain when the time comes."
Shyflower smiled confidently, "What's so difficult about that? We're here to perform in the martial world. We'll just show off our Mind-manipulating Spell. If there's no doubt about her identity and her words are harmless, we won't mind. But if her identity is indeed suspicious, humph! "
Shyflower sneered, "Since she's also eyeing His Majesty, would she dare to make it public? When the time comes, we can spread the news to the imperial court. That will be a great merit! "
