“This…” Deacon Li of the White Tiger Hall hesitated.
At the end of the day, it was still the Astorokis on the Thousand Islands. There were already rumors of the shipwreck, but a few days later, another ship miraculously returned. However, this was not the end. Later, it was said that smuggled goods were seized on this ship, causing a major change in society. In short, it was a period of chaos.
Guili Fang had always maintained a non-interfering attitude towards foreign countries. In addition, it was almost the day when the Emperor would come out of seclusion for a hundred years. Guili was extremely busy internally and did not have the time to care about foreign countries.
However, the problem now was that Zhao Yu-er’s father, who had been missing overseas for many years, was on the Astorokis. Now that the ship had returned safely, it meant that Zhao Yu-er’s father was very likely not dead.
At this moment, even Deacon Li did not know how to speak to the girl in the cheongsam in front of him.
First, he finally found out that he had lost contact with his loved ones. Then, he found out that the news was about his death. However, in the end, the news turned out to be a false report.
After so many twists and turns, it was no wonder that Zhao Yu-er had applied so many times. It was no longer the initial application for a diplomatic investigation, but she wanted to mobilize the fleet and make a trip to the Thousand Islands personally!
“Lord Zhao, I understand how you feel, but…” Deacon Li could only bite the bullet and say.
“If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of so many foreigners, we should have been able to approve your application. But now, at the critical moment when the Emperor is about to wake up, such a major abnormal incident has occurred. Firstly, almost half of our soldiers are now used to manage and quarantine those foreigners. Secondly, regarding the foreigners, we can’t miss you, Lord Zhao. Therefore, no matter what, Lord Zhao, you have to stay in Guili. ”
Zhao Yuer was speechless.
Sigh.
The girl in the cheongsam sighed.
“Is that so? I understand now.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Lord Zhao. I’ll take my leave first. “The deacon of the White Tiger Hall cupped his hands at Zhao Yu ‘er and was about to leave the tea room.
However, at the door of the tea room, Deacon Li’s eyebrows twitched. As if he could not help but glance at the screen at the innermost side of the tea room from the corner of his eye, he still left a sentence before he left.
“Now that all the five elements are focused on the Outlander Shrine, the inspectors in many places are much weaker, especially Glass Port. They even let in many shady people.
He seemed to be mumbling to himself, but he received Zhao Yu ‘er’s gratitude.
“Thank you, Lord Li.”
“Don’t, I was just saying casually. I’m really leaving this time. “Waving his hand, the man’s figure disappeared into the distance.
After Deacon Li left the tea room, a new heroic female voice with a valiant style sounded in the tea room.
“Xiao Yu, what did that guy mean by his last sentence?”
The source of the sound was from the screen at the innermost side of the tea room.
A woman in casual clothes with a pirate-like blindfold on her right eye strode out from behind the screen. From the looks of it, she had been hiding in the tea room all along.
“What Lord Li meant was that as long as I didn’t leave Guili and didn’t borrow Guili’s soldiers, he would turn a blind eye to me and allow me to send a private fleet from Glass Harbor to Thousand Islands.
The girl in the cheongsam took out a new tea set from under the tea table and made tea while patiently explaining to the one-eyed woman who had just appeared behind her.
“What? Did he say that just now?” The one-eyed woman was obviously surprised.
But he quickly reacted.
“No! Xiao Yu, since when did you have a private fleet? Wait a minute, could it be that the sun suddenly rose from the west and you called me all the way here to reminisce about the past just to…”
“Come, have some tea.”
Zhao Yu-er pushed the warm tea she had just brewed in front of the one-eyed woman, who was looking unhappy.
Humph!
Although her words were very unfriendly and she snorted coldly, the one-eyed woman still took the tea and drank it in one gulp.
“As expected of the famous Qilin Pavilion Master’s treasured tea. The taste is different from the coarse tea I drank with my brothers on the ship.
“That’s not true. No matter how good the tea is, it can’t compare to having a good person to drink it. “The woman in the cheongsam shook her head.
“Humph, so many years have passed, but Xiao Yu, your mouth is still so powerful.
“But I still don’t understand. Since you’ve already planned to let me lead the fleet, why did you make such an application to Five Elements and deliberately let me hide in the tea room? You should have noticed that the guy from White
Tiger Hall has obviously discovered me.”
In the end, Deacon Li’s glance at the one-eyed woman’s hiding place could not be any more obvious.
Facing the question, Zhao Yuer smiled and said,
“When you feel that the room is too hot and want to open the windows, if you directly mention it, you might still be rejected. However, if you propose to lift the roof first and are rejected, then propose to open the windows, then they will definitely be very happy to accept it.
“I asked you to hide there to show Lord Li my attitude. Some things can be said in the open, but some can only be said in the dark. Fortunately, Lord Li is also a smart person. He understood my meaning, so he said those last words..
