"this……"

Wu Liang's decision to turn his back on the guest made Qili Tong speechless.

But Wu Liang just looked at this guy quietly. He didn't believe Qilitong, or that the Yamatai Congress came to China to find Xu Fu's whereabouts without any preparation.

He had even guessed before that the Japanese might have sneaked into the Celestial Dynasty very early. However, after carefully checking several places where Xu Fu might have lived in seclusion that were not secret, he found nothing, so he had to send envoys to visit the Han court.

In the name of the Han Dynasty, I wanted to get more information from the Han Dynasty.

After all, the Han Dynasty was the official state, and the truly valuable secrets were usually firmly grasped by the official government and would not appear in history books and folklore that anyone could learn.

But this time.

Whether it was the performance of Emperor Xian Liu Xie or Wu Liang's current attitude, Qili Tong felt speechless.

Emperor Xian and the officials almost didn't know anything about it, and they didn't tell any valuable information at all.

At this moment, Wu Liang's attitude was more direct and he was trying to deceive others, just like a corrupt official who was doing nothing and waiting to die. He felt that there was no hope at all.

But now people are under the eaves and have to lower their heads.

Even though there was a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, Qili Tong could only say patiently: "I have inquired about the news about Xu Jun of Qin along the way. Some said that his ancestral home was Langya, while others said that he went to Laoshan in Donglai County before going to sea.

lived and left descendants in Laoshan, these two locations may be the main directions for finding the whereabouts of Lord Xu of Qin."

"I have heard of the two places you mentioned."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, but then said, "But for so many years, the Han Dynasty has never heard the news of Xu Fu's departure and return. It can be seen that even if Xu Fu really came back, he must have hidden his whereabouts. In order to deceive others, he may even have

Relatives and friends have never met each other, or they have simply changed their identities and lived in seclusion... Moreover, this matter has been hundreds of years ago, and there was no news when he came back. Now we have no definite clues, but only before.

If you go to visit, I'm afraid 90% of the time you will come back in vain."

"Even if there is only 10% hope, I must not give up lightly. Otherwise, I will betray Queen Beimiyu's trust in me, and I will never be able to face the people of our country from now on!"

Qili Tong immediately expressed his stance firmly.

"I am moved by Dr. Qilitong's decision. If a big man had ministers like Dr. Qilitong, how could he be like this?"

Wu Liang looked down at the little doctor in front of him with bright eyes, and said with approval, "For this reason, I will feel very sorry if I don't do anything anymore. Otherwise, I would like to prepare a batch of food and salary for Doctor Qilitong.

I will also give you two extra horses and a copy of Qingzhou and Xuzhou coastal maps. I will personally send Dr. Qilitong out of the city to investigate Langya and Laoshan first. You can rest assured that Qingzhou and Xuzhou are now under the control of the general.

Doctor Qilitong only needs to hold the general's handwriting and he will be able to travel unimpeded along the way, how about that?"

"ah?"

Qilitong couldn't help but be stunned.

What the hell?

Are you planning to send me away directly, leave me alone, and ask me to investigate on my own?

"In addition, I will also prepare a few flying slaves for you. You may not know what a flying slave is, right? It is a kind of flying bird that delivers messages. If you find out any important information and need my help, just send the information to

Write it on a small piece of silk cloth, then tie the silk cloth to the bird's leg and let it fly, and the flying slave will quickly convey the message to me, and it will not be too late for me to lead people to help."

Wu Liang then said again quite generously.

He was not worried that the Japanese would learn to use homing pigeons in advance. Pigeons are one thing, but the method of domestication is another. Even if Qilitong personally used flying slaves, he could only appreciate the convenience of this method of communication and lamented that the Celestial Empire

The greatness and terror, it is absolutely impossible to master the method of taming flying slaves.

"..."

Qili Tong had a look of surprise on his face. The "flying slave" Wu Liang mentioned really surprised him, but he knew better that now was not a good time to focus on the "flying slave".

After hesitating for a moment, Qilitong did not agree to Wu Liang's arrangement. Instead, he gave a compromise and said: "Thank you Taishi Wu for your support, but I have another unkind request."

"Doctor Qilitong, please speak."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Since Wu Taishi is the Taishi Order, I must have some doctors who are familiar with history and have profound knowledge. Could you please Wu Taishi to appoint a doctor to accompany me on this trip? In this way, if anything is discovered along the way, I can always ask for advice. This trip can also get twice the result with half the effort.

"

Qilitong lowered his eyes and said.

"I do have a doctor, but today the Han Dynasty is in chaos. Your Majesty has just established himself in Chenliu. It is a time when everything is waiting to be done, so it may not be convenient."

Wu Liang was still smiling.

"..."

Qilitong was speechless again.

I'm sorry that your Emperor's order is nonsense to you. He asked you to provide assistance to me, but in the end you didn't go here or that. What's the use of you?

"Then the matter is settled. Later I will ask people to prepare it for Master Qilitong, and I will send you off personally in three days. I wish you success immediately."

When Wu Liang saw that he was silent, he acted as if he had acquiesced and spoke on his own initiative.

Anyway, he doesn't let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit.

If Qilitong doesn't show some sincerity first to prove his worth, he and the Hu army will never help easily.

And if Qilitong or Yamatai were not as Wu Liang thought, they had indeed not made any small moves before, and indeed there were no preparations that Wu Liang was unaware of.

Wu Liang didn't mind actually sending Qilitong away, and even refused to let him use the flying slave.

Because if that were the case, Qilitong and others would be a burden. Not only would they have to take care of them along the way, they would also have to guard against these aliens.

Instead of going with them.

It would be better to just get rid of them and lead the Hu army to investigate in person. There are only a few places anyway, and Qili Tong can't provide them with more help. Wu Liang will be more worry-free if he acts on his own.

If you find out anything, you don't need to worry about Qilitong and Yamatai, just put all the proceeds into your pocket.

"Wu Taishi, please wait!"

Seeing that Wu Liang was already thinking of seeing off the guests, Qili Tong finally became a little anxious and said quickly, "Actually, the search for the whereabouts of Lord Xu of Qin this time is not as futile as Wu Taishi thought, and I am not completely clueless either.

Unprepared.”

"Oh? Tell me."

Wu Liang was pleasantly surprised, but his face remained bored.

Qili Tong is indeed hiding something!

At the same time, Wu Liang had to begin to suspect that Qilitong might not just need a guide or advisor when he came to seek help from the Han court.

Because if they just need guides and advisors, they only need to pay some money to find them in Qingzhou or Xuzhou. There is no need to alert Emperor Xian at all. After all, the most indispensable thing in this world is the nobles of poor families. The ancestors of these poor families once

They have all entered the court, and their cultural background may not be worse than those of today's famous families, and they need money to survive.

And this amount of money is still not worth mentioning to a country, even if it is a small sea country that is in war and unable to survive, and is far less valuable than a ship they use to cross the ocean.

Therefore, Wu Liang has reason to further doubt.

Qili Tong may have other intentions towards Emperor Xian or the Han Dynasty, but they have not been exposed yet.

"Hu is our biggest support during this trip."

Qili Tong raised his hand and pointed at the young girl who had been following him but was not very talkative. He introduced with a solemn expression, "I have said before that before returning home that year, Lord Xu of Qin had appointed a

The maid who inherited his true heritage serves the shrine he left behind, so that the shrine can continue to protect the Japanese country. This maid is also regarded as a shrine maiden by our country. A shrine maiden cannot marry in her life and can only adopt a girl as her inheritance, and she is the shrine's

The eleventh generation of miko.”

"So, this girl should be the person who knows Xu Fu best in your country right now?"

Wu Liang looked the girl up and down.

Her appearance is considered to be excellent, but it is not enough to amaze Wu Liang. After all, Wu Liang has just acquired a legendary beauty like Zhen Mi. He is also used to eating big fish and meat, and his freshness is not yet complete.

In the past, I was quite immune to the call of such beautiful women.

However, this confirmed Wu Liang's previous guess: this girl's identity is indeed not simple.

"Exactly."

Qili Tong nodded, "The witch is not only the person who knows the best about Xu Jun of Qin in the Japanese country, she also inherited a magatama jade left by Xu Jun of Qin. There are two of these jade, and the other one is from Qin Zhi.

Xu Jun carried it with him. It is said that when Xu Jun of Qin was still in the Japanese country, this magatama always remained warm. But after Xu Jun of Qin went to sea and left, this magatama began to become cold. Legend has it that

This is because these two jade maggots are a pair and have been worn by Xu Jun of Qin for a long time. They have been contaminated with some spiritual energy. If we can come near Xu Jun of Qin, this jade jade will become warm again.

If it's hot, it proves that we've found the right place."

Wu Liang did not express his opinion after hearing these words, but directly passed Qilitong and asked the witch named "Hu": "So as the person who knows Xu Fu best in the Japanese country, where do you think we should go to find him?"

whereabouts?"

"You can go to Langya and Laoshan first."

Hu Dao was no longer as afraid of strangers as he was when they first met, and said nonsense to Wu Liang quite calmly.

Wu Liang no longer pursued this question, but looked at the red rope on Hudai's slender, snow-white neck, and then asked: "Is that magatama on your body now?"

It was obviously a pendant, but the body of the pendant was currently hidden under his clothes.

"Exactly."
