At 100 years old, he joined the army in place of his granddaughter, and became a national war god.

Faced with the king's wrath, Takenaka Ryosuke remained calm. He gazed calmly at Yu Linyuan on the throne, and after the king had calmed down for a moment, he continued:

"Your Majesty, I think you have misunderstood His Majesty the Emperor's meaning."

"The alliance formed by the Eastern Barbarians this time is not to drag the Liuyu Kingdom into it, but because they have always understood the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

"The Eastern Yi and Liuyu are both separated from the Great Qian by sea."

"At present, the Great Qian and the Eastern Yi are locked in a fierce battle, and the Great Qian has even declared that it will crush the Eastern Yi."

"This shows that the Emperor of Daqian has already revealed his ambition to annex our neighboring country and then dominate the world."

"If they really conquer Dongyi, then their next target will be Liuyu."

"Instead of being defeated one by one by the Great Qian, we should form an alliance, take the initiative to attack and conquer the Great Qian, and then annex its territory."

"Your Majesty, haven't you ever considered expanding the territory of the Kingdom of Liuyu?"

"Do you intend to remain confined to this tiny island forever?"

Takenaka Ryosuke's barrage of words echoed throughout the hall, clearly reaching the ears of all the ministers and King Yu Linyuan.

It can be described as "appealing to their emotions and moving them with reason".

Yu Linyuan was still deep in thought, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

However, he was clearly tempted.

As king, he was naturally not content to stay on the island forever; he also wanted to expand his territory and dominate the region.

The clever Ryosuke Takenaka is not only eloquent but also adept at reading people.

He had keenly noticed the slight fluctuation in Yu Linyuan's eyes just now.

So they continued to embellish their story.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Great Qian is called the Celestial Empire is not only because of its vast territory, but also because it is rich in resources and has beautiful scenery. It is a rare treasure in the world."

"In the Jiangnan region, gold and silver are everywhere, and beautiful women are as numerous as clouds, which is dazzling and makes people linger."

"At present, the generals of the Great Qian Dynasty are weak, the military strength has declined significantly, and corrupt officials are rampant in the court. The people are full of complaints, and there are already signs of the collapse of the dynasty."

"Our Dongyi and Liuyu have developed rapidly in recent years, and our naval forces are powerful. We are just worried about not having a place to use our strength. Why don't we go to Daqian and seize a better future?"

"My lords, don't you all wish for the Kingdom of Liuyu to leave this island and set foot on the vast and beautiful land?"

Ryosuke Takenaka's tone began to become agitated, attempting to stir up the emotions of the ministers.

Clearly, after that enticement, the greed in the ministers' hearts began to surface.

There were already whispers and murmurs among the crowd.

"Yes, our Liuyu Kingdom is now militarily strong and well-equipped, why can't we go out and expand our territory?"

"If we can really seize half of the Great Qian Kingdom, then the Liuyu Kingdom will be able to break free from the constraints of an island nation and develop on a large scale, expanding its population and strength."

"Yes, and we are all in the same boat. I'm afraid that if the Great Qian really takes over the Eastern Yi, their next target will be our Liuyu Kingdom."

Amidst the discussions of the ministers, Prime Minister Yun Lanzhi kept a close eye on the king's changing expressions; in truth, he had long been tempted.

He had visited the Jiangnan region of the Great Qian Dynasty in his earlier years, so he knew very well that the golden beauty that Takenaka Ryosuke spoke of was not an exaggeration.

"Your Majesty, what the envoy said is not mere conjecture." After thinking for a long time, Yun Lanzhi finally spoke first. "If one country attacks, it is hard to say whether it can invade Daqian, but if the two countries join forces, this matter will surely succeed."

At this moment, General Hemingway stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to pledge here that if an alliance is formed, we will surely take over the Jiangnan region of the Great Qian Dynasty."

"If I fail, I will offer my head as a reward!"

Yu Linyuan straightened up, staring at the Prime Minister and the General. Seeing his two right-hand men so confident, his own ambition suddenly erupted.

Then he stood up and said loudly, "Very well, since the ministers have all agreed to form an alliance, then I agree to join forces and conquer the Great Qian."

Upon hearing this, Takenaka Ryosuke was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. Forging an alliance will rewrite the history of the Eastern Barbarians and the Ryukyu Kingdom, writing a new chapter."

"On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I thank Your Majesty for your generous alliance."

Hahaha!

At this moment, Yu Linyuan burst into loud laughter.

"Mr. Takenaka, please go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor that since an alliance has been formed, the specific terms of the treaty must be agreed upon."

"We can't break the rules."

Ryosuke Takenaka knew that the rules Tamaki Rin-yuen mentioned referred to how the two countries would share the fruits of victory in the future.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter properly after I return, and then I will come to Liuyu Kingdom to sign a treaty with Your Majesty."

"Excellent!" Yu Linyuan stood up and shouted his approval. "I hope the Eastern Barbarians will not disappoint the fervent enthusiasm of my Liuyu Kingdom!"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Takenaka Ryosuke's lips curled up into a smile, and he also let out a deep sigh, thinking that he had finally fulfilled his mission.

However, his plan was not yet complete; he was still one step away from finishing.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor has a gift for you."

"A gift?" Upon hearing the word "gift," Na Yu and Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, they demanded, "What is it? Present it immediately!"

At that moment, Takenaka Ryosuke took out a copper box from his sleeve. When the lid was opened, two gold ingots of excellent quality lay inside.

He didn't speak, but simply placed the gold ingot in his palm and slowly closed his five fingers.

A faint cracking sound came from between his palms, and in a moment the gold ingot was crushed into powder.

As he opened his palm, golden powder slowly leaked from between his fingers and fell to the ground.

The moment the powder hit the ground, it seemed to be pulled by something and began to move.

They spread outwards close to the ground, spreading out across the ground and gradually converging into a vague human-shaped outline.

All the ministers and Yu Linyuan looked at the human figure on the ground with curiosity.

I was extremely surprised.

Everyone is wondering what Ryosuke Takenaka is trying to achieve with this move.

puff!

A soft golden light shone from the gold dust, and a woman appeared out of thin air within the golden light.

"people?"

"This gold dust actually transformed into a person?"

The ministers standing nearby exclaimed in surprise.

The woman had fair skin and a beautiful face, with a slender figure. She wore a thin gauze dress, which revealed the lines of her waist, which rose and fell slightly with her breath.

The moment Yu Linyuan saw the beauty, his eyes widened in disbelief.

He stood up and stared intently at the figure.

At this moment, the woman raised her arms and began to dance gracefully.

Her graceful dance moves, slender figure, and alluring eyes captivated Yu Linyuan's heart with every gesture.

Looking at Yu Linyuan's expression, Takenaka Ryosuke knew that Yu Linyuan liked the gift very much.

As Yu Linyuan watched the woman dance intently, his throat grew hot.

After it was over, he clapped his hands vigorously: "Great, the beauty danced so beautifully."

"I had long heard that the Dongyi singers and dancers were unparalleled in the world, and seeing them today, I can confirm that their reputation is well-deserved."

"Mr. Takenaka, is this the gift you said you would give me?"

Ryosuke Takenaka nodded and respectfully replied, "Indeed, this songstress is the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Barbarian lands, proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing musical instruments, and singing."

"I hope Your Majesty will accept this."

Hahaha!

Yu Linyuan laughed heartily, his face beaming with joy.

"Alright, thank the Emperor of Dongyi for me. Go back and tell your Emperor that this alliance between the two countries will surely be able to conquer Daqian."

"The army of Liuyu Kingdom is ready at any time!"

Ryosuke Takenaka nodded in satisfaction, then cupped his hands and said, "I will return now to inform His Majesty the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, farewell!"

After saying that, he turned and left the main hall.

"My beloved ministers, court is adjourned." Yu Linyuan waved his hand, signaling the end of the morning court session.

After saying that, he couldn't wait to go to the beauty's side, put his arm around her waist, and left the main hall.

……

On the other side, in the sea area outside the Daqian Town Customs.

Nine Daqian Youlong warships are ready; the East China Sea military exercise is about to begin!
