Li You asked: "What is Takahashi Kyumiko's prestige among pirates? What are the attitudes of the pirates towards her? Also, what are her attitudes usually when she encounters difficulties?"

Wang Huairen was originally a soldier and had not served as Sima of Dengzhou for a long time and had insufficient experience. He said: This minister has not yet understood it carefully."

Li You said, "Let's do it, you can go and interrogate the pirates now, and learn about what I just said, and try to report to me before breakfast."

"Yes, Your Highness, Prince." Wang Huairen and Zhou Qing left.

During breakfast, Li You and Cheng Yaojin sat at the dining table and were listening to the introduction of the Dengzhou specialty breakfast they developed by the owner of the Qi Palace.

Gao Zhiming pointed to a dish on the table and said, "Prince, Duke Su Guo, this is a salted fish cake. The pike is marinated in advance and then dried naturally, and then fried into golden color. The cake is millet noodles, soybean noodles and a small amount of rice noodles and stirred with seasonings, and then stir-fried, and then made into the size of a child's fist, and baked with oil on the pancake. Please try it."

Li You picked up a piece of salted fish with chopsticks, held the cake in his hand, and said after a few bites: "The salted fish is crispy and crumbly, but it is still a bit tough. Not bad, the cake is OK, but it is also fine, but unfortunately there is a lack of a raw material called corn. When Lu Tong and the others come back, they planted corn, baked cakes with corn as raw materials, and then served with salted fish, that is the real salted fish cake."

Cheng Yaojin was not as picky as Li You. He ate very well and said, "No, this tastes very good."

Li You smiled and said, "Duke Su Guo, food is the most important thing for people. I only have such a hobby. I never tire of eating. What I pay attention to is the characteristics."

Cheng Yaojin said, "Your Highness, I will follow you so kind of food every day, and I will hold my mouth in my mouth. When I return to Chang'an, my wife will say it is hard to serve me." Cheng Yaojin's wife is a lady from the Cui family in Hedong. She is as beautiful as a flower. It is safe to deal with Cheng Yaojin.

Li You smiled and said, "When you return to Chang'an, you will send a chef to our house to study to ensure that your wife is satisfied."

At this time, Wang Huairen and Zhou Qing came. "I have seen Your Highness, Prince."

Li You smiled and said, "It's very fast, come and sit down and eat together, and talk while eating."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Huairen and Zhou Qing thanked each other and sat down.

Wang Huairen said: "Your Highness, that Takahashi Kyumiko is noble in her status, and the pirates respect her very much. This woman is not simple. She is not only proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has good martial arts. She can charge herself in battle and treat her subordinates well. The pirates admire her very much. This woman is quite wise, bold in doing things, and has the spirit of not giving up until she achieves her goal."

Li You smiled and said, "That's right, it's almost the same as what I guess. Think about it, the large number of pirates have been removed, but it's not easy for her to stay in Dengzhou, but a woman from a noble family can stay in Dengzhou. It's good that it's not difficult to find her."

Wang Huairen said with a puzzled look: "Your Highness, although Dengzhou City is not big, it has tens of thousands of people. It is not easy to find a hidden person. Besides, I can't guarantee that he is in Dengzhou City."

Li You smiled and said, "You said it's not easy for us to find her, so let her come to us."

Cheng Yaojin, Wang Huairen, Zhou Qing and others are all smart people. They guessed Li You’s thoughts, but they were still not sure.

Li You said: "Our Eastern Expedition Army is going to the Eastern Expedition Kingdom of the Unu Kingdom. To be precise, it is going to conquer their Takahashi family. What would she do with the character of Takahashi Kumiko? She will definitely try to stop us. What are the ways to stop us?

The first is to burn our fleet, which cannot be achieved with their existing strength.

The second is to destroy the command center of our Eastern Expedition Army, to be precise, to destroy me, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army. In this way, the Eastern Expedition Army will definitely be in chaos and the Eastern Expedition will be temporarily stopped.

How about it, do you think it’s easy to find her?”

"This? Your Highness, do you want to use yourself as bait to catch Takahashi Kumiko? This is too dangerous. No, I don't agree." Cheng Yaojin said worriedly.

Baihu, Wang Huairen and Zhou Qing also expressed their opposition.

Li You said: "We are going to set off tomorrow morning, and there is only one day left today. Apart from this method, is there any other way to catch Kumiko Takahashi?"

Zhou Qing said: "Prince, is this Takahashi Kumiko that important? So what if you don't catch her?"

Baihu said, "That's right, prince, there's no need to take risks for her."

Li You said: "This Takahashi Kyumiko is really important. We have been caught by pirates, and Takahashi Kumiko is a good bargaining chip for exchanging hostages. Not only that, behind Takahashi Kumiko is the Takahashi family. Although I don't know how to use them for a while, she must be worth it."

"But, there is no need to let you take risks in person." Everyone disagreed.

Li You said decisively: "This matter is settled. Wang Huairen."

"I am here." Wang Huairen stood up and said.

"I order you to spread the news immediately, saying that as the governor of Dengzhou, I invite people from all walks of life in Dengzhou to participate in the oath meeting of the Eastern Expedition Army to fight against the Japanese nu Kingdom this afternoon. I would like to specifically state that the Eastern Expedition Army will leave Dengzhou tomorrow morning."

"I obey the order." Wang Huairen said.

Li You smiled and said, "We only have one day. For Kumiko Takahashi, she only has one day to stop our Eastern Expedition Army. It's time to expire, haha."

Not long after, the entire Dengzhou City spread all over the city. The Eastern Expedition Army left Dengzhou City tomorrow morning and held a sworn meeting at the Dabei Street School Review Site at 2:00 this afternoon. His Highness King Qi and the Governor of Dengzhou, the Governor of Dengzhou and the Commander of the Eastern Expedition Army Li You attended the meeting in person.

Yesterday, Takahashi Kumiko and others left the Silla Trading Company and went to find another Silla trader recommended by Sato for them. This person had some contact with officials in the Dengzhou Governor's Office. Takahashi Kumiko wanted to inquire about the news about King Li You of Qi from him, but the man agreed to them and asked them to wait for a reply.

When they returned to the Silla Trading Company, they found that there were suspicious people nearby, which aroused their alertness. After careful observation, they found more suspicious people. They knew that the place had been exposed. They originally wanted to try to notify the people inside, but Ayuki Kawasaki believed that even if they were notified, they would not escape. In order to protect Kumiko Takahashi, Ayuki Kawasaki insisted on letting her leave here. Kumiko Takahashi and others were in a very awkward situation and temporarily hid in an abandoned and dilapidated temple.

That night, Ayuki Kawasaki came to the vicinity of Shira Trading Company and found that someone had been found to have been found and everyone inside had been arrested.

Ayuki Kawasaki returned to the dilapidated temple, reported the situation to Takahashi Kumiko and said, "Miss, something happened to our people. The people of the Tang Dynasty must be searching for us everywhere, and the Governor's Office will definitely strengthen their prevention. In this case, it is impossible for us to assassinate the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I suggest that for your safety, let's leave Dengzhou City."

The other two samurai also persuaded Takahashi Kyumiko to leave Dengzhou.

Takahashi Kyumiko said firmly: "No, I can't watch the people of the Tang Dynasty invade our hometown. We must complete the assassination mission."
Chapter completed!
