My wife is number one in the world

"What? It's been so long, and no one has received Jiang He's reply yet?"

After hearing Zhang Kuang's answer, Liu Mingzhi's eyes suddenly became a little surprised and asked back.

Zhang Kuang looked at Young Master Liu's eyes which suddenly became somewhat surprised, raised his hand and gently took a puff of his pipe, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face as he nodded.

"Your Majesty, that is exactly the case.

From the day the golden eagle's message was sent out until today, no one, whether it is the spy brothers hiding in the dark or the generals brothers in the cities across the country, has received a reply from Marquis Haining.

During this period, the old minister sent orders more than once to the brothers hiding in the coastal towns of various countries, asking them to secretly and closely search for the whereabouts of Haininghou and his group.

Unfortunately, the brothers searched secretly again and again, but in the end they still found nothing.

This old minister speculates that Marquis Haining and all the officers and soldiers of our Dalongbao fleet should still be drifting aimlessly on the vast ocean!
Otherwise, with so many of our spy brothers, we wouldn't have failed to discover the whereabouts of Haininghou and his treasure fleet!

Your Majesty, you know very well how huge the scale of our Dalongbao fleet is.

As long as the spies from various departments have good eyesight, they will be able to find even the slightest clue about the whereabouts of the treasure fleet.

One person, ten people, or even dozens of people may not be able to find it. This may be a problem of location and time difference.

However, when no one could find the whereabouts of Haininghou's fleet and could not find even the slightest clue, there was only one possibility.

This possibility is the kind of speculation that the old minister just mentioned. The Haining Marquis and his men are still drifting on the vast ocean! "

After listening to Zhang Kuang's well-reasoned and logical analysis, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes, nodded, and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

Then, he gently chewed the tea leaves between his lips and teeth, while muttering to himself with a frown on his face.

"I didn't even find any trace of him, what's going on?

Could it be that when this young master and I arrived at the Kingdom of Daqin, Jiang He happened to be leading all the officers and soldiers of the treasure fleet to set sail and return to our Great Dragon Empire?
If this is the case, isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Duan Dingbang and the others were standing in different positions and at a different distance. In addition, Young Master Liu did not try to suppress his voice. Therefore, the slightly doubtful words that Young Master Liu had just muttered to himself were naturally heard by Song Qing and the others without missing a word.

After hearing what Young Master Liu was talking to himself, Zhang Kuang immediately stopped smoking his pipe and bowed to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Marquis of Haining has most likely not yet set sail to return to our Great Dragon Empire!"

Hearing what Zhang Kuang said, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"Oh? Lord Protector of the Country, why is this?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I and others had an agreement with Marquis Haining and his generals.

At that time, we agreed with each other that if any important event happened between either of us, we would immediately send someone or send a letter to inform the other party.

Setting sail to return our great Dragon Empire is no small matter.

We have an agreement in advance that if Marquis Haining really wants to lead the entire treasure fleet to return to our Great Dragon Dynasty, he will definitely send someone or send a letter to inform the old ministers and others.

Therefore, I think that the Marquis of Haining has not returned to our Great Dragon Dynasty yet!" After listening to Zhang Kuang's explanation, Young Master Liu nodded with a clear expression.

"So that's how it is, I understand now.

Since Jiang He and his men are still in the territories of the Western countries, why is there no news yet? "

Zhang Kuang was silent for a while with a frown on his face. He looked at Young Master Liu with a depressed look and shook his head slightly.

“This! This! This!

Your Majesty, I have not received any letter from Marquis Haining, and I know nothing about these situations!"

Zhang Kuang stroked the tea lid in his hand and pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up.

"By the way, Lord Protector of the Country, I vaguely remember you mentioned to me once before that the golden eagle's letter had been delivered to Jiang He.

If I remember correctly, this is what happened, right?"

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case.

At that time, the golden eagle that the old minister sent to deliver a letter to Marquis Haining returned safely, and the letter in the bamboo tube on the golden eagle's leg was gone.

Therefore, the old minister subconsciously thought that Marquis Haining had received the letter from the old minister!
At that time, I thought that Marquis Haining did not write a reply in the bamboo tube on the golden eagle's leg because he would soon lead a team of personal soldiers to the royal city of the Arab Empire to meet Your Majesty!
Now it seems that I took it for granted!"

Looking at the depressed look on Zhang Kuang's old face, Young Master Liu nodded slightly, drank the tea in one gulp, then leaned forward and casually placed the teacup on the table next to him.

"If what you said is true, Jiang He should have received your golden eagle message.

But, since he has already received your golden eagle letter, why hasn't he written back and there has been no news from you for a long time?
What's going on with that kid Jiang He?

How strange, how strange! How strange indeed! "

After Zhang Kuang silently took a long puff of his pipe, he leaned over and knocked out the ashes from the pipe bowl at his feet.

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, should I continue to stay in the position that Marquis Haining was in before, and send someone to deliver a letter to him again to ask why he has not replied to the letter and why he has not come to the royal city yet?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a while as if thinking about something. Then he looked at Zhang Kuang and gently waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, there's no need to send another letter.

As a young master, I know Jiang He's character very well. He is definitely not the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.

He clearly knew that I, his elder brother, had arrived at the capital of the Arab Empire, but he neither wrote a reply nor sent anyone to the capital to report the situation.

If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability that something more important has happened to Jiang He than what he is doing.

As the saying goes, when a general is away from the court, he is not bound by the orders of his sovereign.

What's more, the golden eagle letter that I asked you to pass on to him was not a special order from the emperor!
Wait a moment, wait a moment longer." (End of this chapter)
