Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1111 Etiquette
"Huh? Shangluo, how did you die?" Lu Huaiyang realized something was wrong when he saw Shangluo. He looked at "Yi Ji" behind "Shangluo" and said, "Hey! Aren't you in the imperial prison? How did you get out?"

The information from both sides passed through my mind——

"Ah! So Shangluo, you wanted the dragon ball to transform. Who is this person who transformed into Shangluo?"

"???" Shang Luo was stunned for a moment, "Hey, Captain Lu, how did you sort out so many things in just one second?"

"I am a professional after all. If it were a stranger, I might not be able to tell, but I have seen both of you - you are not Otohime. This person is not Shangluo. Considering that you had someone take the dragon ball away from the imperial prison before, it makes sense that you turned into Otohime. But this person next to you..."

He looked Victoria up and down. He was sure that he didn't know this person. After all, if Shangluo could make someone look like him, it must be someone Shangluo trusted, but this person was not one of the people Lu Huaiyang knew - from the eyes, the demeanor, and all angles, this person was not familiar to him. Although he was a little familiar, as if he had met her once, he would definitely not recognize her if he didn't see her in person.

Lu Huaiyang thought for 2 seconds with the professional qualities of a professional detective, and asked Shangluo: "Is this something I can ask?"

"Okay, okay, this is my friend. I asked him to help me. Aren't we going to meet the King of Ryukyu later? I was afraid that I would lose my composure, so I found a professional to replace me."

"It's the same thing Cao Cao did, right? Tsk, my Lord Shang Tian, ​​don't tell the emperor about this. If he knew there was such a method, who knows who would ask to run errands for him."

"That's right, I know that. So before we start, I want to ask you, Lu Qianhu, is this in accordance with etiquette?"

"There's no mention of Transfiguration in the etiquette. But if it's convenient for you, could you please keep your voice down and tell me who this is?"

Shangluo and Victoria confirmed it with their eyes. After getting Victoria's permission, he took out his cell phone and sent Victoria's name to Lu Huaiyang in a private message.

"???" Lu Huaiyang was shocked at the moment - he knew exactly how important Victoria was. Once Victoria got into trouble here, or was captured by someone, Rome's bottom line would be exposed. Countless secrets would be leaked, and the whole of Rome might be physically blown up.

Lu Huaiyang didn't know about specific projects like "Shepherd Stephen" in Anatolia or "The Demon Who Can Perform Nuclear Fission without Exploding" in Chernobyl. These were all secrets of Rome.

But he knew that things in Rome could easily explode. If something really happened to Victoria, a big explosion would definitely happen.

He looked at Shangluo, then at Victoria, and finally focused his gaze on Shangluo again: "You know what you are doing, right?"

Shangluo nodded.

"Well. Actually, it's safest to be with you. After all, you are stronger than all of us. But there are more dangers around you, and we may not be able to deal with the dangers you face. So, Lord Shang Tian, ​​you really know about this, right?" Lu Huaiyang confirmed again and again.

"No problem, don't worry."

"Okay then. I'll pretend I didn't see anything about this. This is also part of my internal affairs. After all, I can't take care of everything. Otherwise, you'll be annoyed and it will affect your work. So, Your Excellency." He turned to Victoria:
"Take care of yourself too."

"Yeah, yeah." Victoria nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I usually don't come out. I will only come out when Shangluo needs to find me for something. So, don't worry, everything will be fine." "Why is there a 'not coming out'? You are usually hiding somewhere, right? That's good." Lu Huaiyang glanced at his diary, "Then the rest of the work will be easy. Just meet the King of Ryukyu. Only this requires consideration of face. You don't need to worry about the Imperial Guards, the Jinyiwei will be able to coordinate. Only the Grand Commander of Beiting must be met by Shangluo himself - please avoid this part."

Although everyone around him knew her, Lu Huaiyang still avoided mentioning Victoria's name directly under any circumstances, and only used "Your Excellency" as a substitute. This was the safest way.

"No problem." Victoria nodded.

"Who is that?" Shangluo asked, "Should I make any preparations?"

"No, he's one of us, just be casual. It's just that there are some confidential tasks that need to be handed over, and it's not good to let 'Your Excellency' know about it. But I can introduce this person first - Li Yinchang, a Jinshi in the 21st year of Taihe, the Grand Commander of Beiting and the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. His previous post was the Minister of War of Shuntian. After that, he did not enter the cabinet but went to Beiting. He is at the same level as the cabinet ministers, and it will be a horizontal transfer when he returns to the cabinet. In the past two years, there has been an intention to let him go to Beiting as a cabinet minister. Going to Beiting as a cabinet minister is a 'supervisor of the army', which is also a very high military position in the past dynasties. To be unlucky, only Yuan Chonghuan's functions can be compared with his."

"That's really unlucky. Is this person easy to talk to?"

"Very easy to talk to. For someone in his position, being easy to talk to is the most basic thing. Even if he is not easy to talk to, he won't let you see it. But in fact, he is your schoolmate, the highest-ranking graduate of the Imperial College besides senior ministers like Wen Ge Lao."

"He is a censor, so he is from the history department?"

"Except for Lord Wen, the high-ranking Imperial College graduates you see are basically from the History Department. After all, the censors, provincial governors, ambassadors, etc., all follow the separate Metropolitan Censorate sequence, and their official titles are promoted very quickly. However, even if they hold high positions, it is difficult for them to enter the cabinet, after all, the Metropolitan Censorate's main job is supervision."

"Then how did this person get into the cabinet? Has he done anything remarkable?"

"He fought a battle with Rome over the Wall."

"???"

"???"

Shangluo and Victoria were both stunned.

"Yes, his military achievement was earned by fighting against Rome, which was a border conflict. A few years ago, we were fighting with Rome to seize a meteorite that fell on the border. He decisively attacked with the two regiments at hand and defeated an unknown number of Roman border guards, and took back the meteorite."

“So there is such a thing?”

"After all, we haven't signed any kind of alliance treaty with Rome, so it's possible that there will be border conflicts - of course, it's unlikely now, after all, Rome is about to be destroyed. So I'm afraid his military achievement will be out of print in the future."
