Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

In addition to the team from the Honglu Temple, there was also a team from the Chen family, a team from the Shaofu, a team from the Ministry of Works, and a team from the Ministry of Justice - the last four were all going to Longmen, so the emperor simply let Qiao Yelan lead them all.

"What is the Master looking at?"

The Second Prime Minister glanced at the huge team and then returned his gaze to his book.

"Look at the leader again."

"Qiao Yelan?"

"Yes... He came to the capital alone, and in one month he captured the Prime Minister of Great Yan and his followers. He was promoted from a commoner to a powerful third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Now he is about to visit neighboring countries as the emperor's special envoy and the face of Great Yan."

The second phase blinked.

No, isn't it so explosive?

He was looking for an opportunity before, planning to use himself as a chess piece to help Qiao Yelan expand the territory so that he could have a good fight with the Grand Tutor - you seem to be making it all the same whether I'm there or not.

"This person's [human chess skills] are at the pinnacle - I wonder if you are confident that you can beat him?"

The Master sipped his tea leisurely.

You're holding a big thing in your hand, trying to intimidate me, right?

The second phase sneered in his heart - no, it was already a wild laugh.

You old man, you probably don’t know that the other party has already agreed to play this game of chess for me, right?

As long as I am content to be a pawn, I won't be afraid of being used by others.

Still want to use this guy to scare me?

The Grand Tutor was also very satisfied when he saw the tense expression of the Second Prime Minister.

Damn it, I can’t beat you. If I find a guy of the same nature as you, I still can’t beat you?

As long as I'm content to be a pawn, I can find someone more outrageous to beat you up.

Do you think I'm trying to scare you with this person?

You are wrong. He has already said that he will come up and play with you in person.

——I really want to see the expression on this guy’s face when he finds out that Qiao Yelan is playing chess with him*2

---------------------------------------------------------

The Governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu, was taking his men out of the city to welcome the Minister of Honglu Temple, Qiao Yelan, who came from the capital of Dayan.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Duke Wei is still so radiant."

Damn it, a month ago I was drinking with you late at night.

Wei Yanwu gave a dignified yet polite smile.

"That's true. When we met, I never thought that Mr. Qiao would become a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites, and be loved by His Majesty and visit various countries. Things have really changed."

Adams' eyes look at the nose and the nose looks at the heart.

It's none of my business. I'm just a representative, representing the wealthy gentry to welcome the imperial envoy.

"Duke Wei, let's stop here for the pleasantries - it's time to receive the emperor's order."

Wei Yanwu quickly knelt down, and the people behind him followed immediately.

After Qiao Yelan finished reading it in a rhythmic manner, Wei Yanwu took the imperial edict steadily.

"My sister has been unwell these past few days and has been staying at home. Your Majesty's granting of marriage is a great joy. As her brother, I will thank Your Majesty for your grace on her behalf. I will send someone to the capital to submit a letter of thanks soon."

"Your health is the most important thing, but the Chen family's wedding party has already arrived, so it's better for the princess to meet them."

Qiao Yelan reminded that this meeting was necessary to clarify that Wei Yanwu's sister was not pregnant and the child was born after marriage.

"Of course, it will be arranged in the next two days."

Wei Yanwu also gave a guarantee.

Qiao Yelan helped to buy enough time in the capital. Wei Yanwu's sister has already given birth, and with some makeup, there will be no problem with her appearance.

At the dinner party before entering the city, everyone was talking and laughing, and both the guests and hosts were having a great time.

The secret room in Wei Yanwu’s mansion.

"From now on, I won't be in charge of Longmen and Dayan. Once you've figured out what to do about the child, notify Kal'tsit. She will represent me and stay in Longmen for the time being. She won't take the initiative to help you with anything. You make requests and we'll provide services."

"understood."

Wei Yanwu didn't say much. What Qiao Yelan had done was like feeding the food into his mouth. If he refused to even chew it, he deserved to starve to death.

"Where are you going next?"

"Rutland."

"Rutland? Not Victoria?"

"On the way."

Seeing that Qiao Yelan didn't want to say more, Wei Yanwu didn't ask any more questions.

"The matter of Longmen Coin..."

"You do your best, and I will be responsible for anything outside of Longmen."

Qiao Yelan sat in a wheelchair, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

"You have to remember, as long as the Longmen Coin is alive, you can live. If you mess up, I will start to doubt whether you are qualified to be used, Duke Wei."

"--I see."

Chapter 102: The Painter Who Did Not Fail

"Your Excellency, the vanguard has discovered a town 20 kilometers ahead."

"Hmm? Hasn't the map always shown the area west of Longmen as just a wasteland? How come there is suddenly a town here? Has the vanguard team explored it?"

Qiao Yelan frowned slightly as he looked at the Yulin Guards who came back to report.

"We've checked it out, and we haven't found anything wrong yet. Most of the people in the town are from the Sarkaz tribe, but there are also people of other races. It's probably a gathering of refugees. There's a simple dirt road outside the town, and you can tell there are vehicles coming in and out. There are also obvious signs of farming on the farmland, and the population is probably under a few thousand. It doesn't look like this was built by bandits on the spur of the moment."

"Okay, let them investigate again. If nothing serious happens, we can camp in the town ahead tonight. But we still need to be cautious and not let our guard down. My predecessor died on this road, so it's never too cautious."

"Yes."

The Yulin Guards left in a hurry.

The other members of the team couldn't help but reveal a hint of relief on their faces. After running around in the wilderness, if they could find a town to rest, it would really help them relax greatly.

"If we're lucky, we can camp in the town tonight. But no one is allowed to go out. This is a town in the wilderness after all. We will be considered safe only when we reach a city in Leitania."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, the vanguard sent another safe signal, and the convoy headed towards the town.

When they entered the town, many Sarkaz people around looked at the convoy with more curiosity than vigilance, but the Yulin Guards did not relax their vigilance at all.

"There's actually an inn. Well, it should be called a hotel. It seems that this is indeed an ordinary town. It has developed to this scale. The name Kazdel Wasteland is a bit unworthy of its name."

Qiao Yelan looked at the hotel sign in front of him, a little surprised.

"That's true. I think it's because Longmen is a prosperous place with many merchants coming and going. The terrain here is flat and there is water, so it has attracted so many people."

A junior official from the Honglu Temple took over.

"If we're lucky, we might come across a town like this next time. If that happens, our journey will be much easier."

Qiao Yelan smiled and walked to the front of the team.

"Excuse me, are you the owner of the hotel?"

"Yes, sir—Excuse me, sir, are you going to stay at the inn?"

The woman named Feilin, who had a cold expression and was dressed in light green and whose age could not be identified, asked.

"Yes, can we accommodate so many of us?"

"If you count as a guard, I'm afraid there won't be enough room for you. But there's a flat area outside the town for caravans to park their vehicles, and we can rent tents for you. Food is no problem, or you can go to the market to buy it yourself. We accept Great Yan silver notes here."

"That's it. The Yulin Guards will be stationed outside the town to protect the vehicles and cargo. Ace, you take a few people to stay behind to take charge of security. The convoy logistics department will go to the town to buy some supplies and replace drinking water."

Qiao Yelan arranged everything, and everyone in the delegation moved into their own rooms.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

The innkeeper's wife came in carrying a kettle of hot water.

"The attitude you gave me just now wasn't enthusiastic enough, not like an innkeeper's wife. This is a big deal, you have to be more cheerful."

"...You want me to be responsible for your own bad taste?"

Kal'tsit narrowed her eyes and took out a USB drive.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. You have to go over to Longmen to help look after him. This year is a critical period, and someone must look after Wei Yanwu. I don't trust anyone else except you."

"I see, but I'm not good at this kind of thing."

"It's okay. I've already talked to Wei Yanwu. He will only make some requests, and you just need to try your best to meet them. If you encounter something that you are not sure about, you can ask PRTS to help you. If you are really unsure, you can also contact me directly."

Qiao Yelan warned.

“I understand—then should we let Kazdel go completely for now?”

"Let it go. When the Dragon Gate coins are first rolled out, try to make sure that all traces of the Tower of Babel disappear. Anyway, most of them have already been transferred to Theresa, right? Now is the time to hand them all over to Theresa and let her hand them over to her brother."

"Ok."

Kelsey nodded.

"Has there been any accidents here during this period?"

"No, it's very peaceful, but the leader of the Pardoners seems a little uneasy. In addition to the two black and white Sarkaz, he created a new one, and seems to be planning to use it as his new vessel."

"Don't worry about it. He's the kind of guy who can abandon Chimera technology and come back to pick up scraps. Unless he gets back on track, we just need to monitor him."

Qiao Yelan waved his hand.

"Try to see if you can plant a backdoor, or encourage his 'experimental product' to flee. After all, the Leitania twins proved that the souls of androids can give rise to emotions. Whether it's the two Sarkaz or the new container, just find a way to make things difficult for him."

"Ok."

"Has the request for a diplomatic note been sent to Lateran?"

"It has been sent. Evangelista XI welcomes you and hopes to have another secret meeting."

Kal'tsit explained each file in the USB flash drive to Qiao Yelan, and in the end, Qiao Yelan handled all these matters personally.

When it came to an end, Qiao Yelan stretched out his hand and fumbled around subconsciously, and a glass of water appeared exactly where it should be.

He glanced at Kal'tsit. The heater in the room was very hot, so her face was slightly red and even had a few drops of sweat on it.

"...Come to think of it, don't you really want to learn how to deal with these things?"

"With you here and PRTS, there's no need for me to do anything - besides, I'm not good at these things anyway, so being your secretary is more suitable for me."

"What if I'm gone? I can't really rely on PRTS alone."

"You always tell me what I should do before you fall asleep. Otherwise, I won't do it, and things won't get worse - because you will handle it when you wake up."

Kal'tsit's voice was soft but firm.

"Well, I'm a hard worker."

Qiao Yelan shrugged helplessly.

"Then I'll go first."

Kal'tsit opened the door and took a glance at Ace and the others who were chatting excitedly outside. She immediately stood straight beside them, not looking away.

what's the situation.

Kal'tsit was a little confused, but she knew she should pretend not to know him, so she didn't ask any more questions and went downstairs and left.
