Only after the carriage left did Zhang Yu turn around and leave.
While walking, Zhang Yu was thinking about what happened today.
This was his second contact with Song Xiang.
He was a little surprised. People like Song Xiang were really powerful and could penetrate any hole.
But think about it, if His Majesty didn't have this ability, he wouldn't let them do something like the Whale Swallowing Plan.
Thinking of Liao Daoyan, Zhang Yu felt helpless.
He was very optimistic about Liao Daoyan, so he had to do this. Now that he had the clues, it would be easier to handle.
Zhang Yu walked back and prepared to go find Zuo Guangdou.
When Zhang Yu returned to the Ministry of Revenue again, everyone was talking about it and their eyes couldn't help but drift towards Zhang Yu.
When Zuo Guangdou saw Zhang Yu, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon. I thought I had to wait a little longer."
"Lord Zuo, do you already know why I'm here?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"Sit down and tell me." Zuo Guangdou made an invitation gesture and sat down first. Then he said with a smile: "You are not someone who will give up so easily. You will definitely go and find out the news."
"What happened between me and Liao Daoyan isn't exactly a secret. With your abilities, it's easy to find out. It's not surprising that you'd come looking for me after hearing this news. The main thing is that I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"Someone helped me." Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come back for a while."
"Now that I know your intentions, I won't beat around the bush." Zuo Guangdou said with a smile, "I can give him to you for two reasons. One is that Liao Daoyan is indeed talented and can help you on this trip to North Korea."
Although Zuo Guangdou didn't know North Korea's specific plan this time, he also understood that this time it would definitely not be simple.
After all, he was the Minister of Revenue, and he was able to smell some clues. Knowing that this matter was difficult to handle, he was willing to send Liao Daoyan over.
"Thank you, Lord Zuo." Zhang Yu quickly stood up and said.
"An official's duty is to serve the country." Zuo Guangdou waved his hand and said, "You are a very good person among the younger generation. Letting Liao Daoyan follow you can also give him a future. This is the second reason."
"But you also have to understand, since you brought him out safely, you must return him to me safely. If anything happens to him, or if anything goes wrong, don't blame me for turning my back on him. Even if I go to His Majesty, I will make it clear to you."
"Don't worry, Lord Zuo, we will definitely send it back safely." Zhang Yu said quickly.
"Okay, that's it." Zuo Guangdou nodded and said, "I'll talk to Liao Daoyan, you don't have to worry about it. I'll ask him to come find you later."
"Thank you, sir." Zhang Yu quickly stood up and said.
After coming out of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Yu was in a good mood.
It was somewhat beyond his expectations that things went so smoothly.
He also realized another thing: intelligence can often play a very critical role, and his own personal experience this time is a good example.
Although I learned these things when I was in the Royal Academy, I really didn't have this kind of understanding without personal experience.
It seems that what Song Xiang said about cooperation does make sense.
Over the next few days, Zhang Yu found two more people. Their work went more smoothly than Liao Daoyan's.
He was busy, and the court was also busy. Finally, five days later, the delegation to Korea set off.
There were as many guards and etiquette as there were people. The long procession of carriages was extremely long, and many of them were carriages pulling gifts, and they marched out of Beijing in a mighty procession.
Prince Fu’s carriage is also inside, which looks very large and has a strong sense of ceremony.
On the tea table at the city gate, the Crown Prince of Joseon, Lee Seong-hee, was sitting there, holding the teacup with a gloomy face. However, he did not drink the tea, but played with it with his hands.
Beside him was a man in his thirties, his face full of caution.
"Prince, we've seen it all, it's time for us to go back." The man said slowly.
"Park Jung-hwan," Li Xi turned to look at the man, his face full of bitterness, and said, "Do you think I'll ever have the chance to return to North Korea in this lifetime?"
"Of course." Park Jung-hwan nodded and said, "The Ming Dynasty just wants to keep the Crown Prince for a while. Even if he is a hostage, he should be able to return after the war between the Ming Dynasty and Japan is over."
"After all, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of Joseon and will eventually return to inherit the throne."
