"Merchant?"

The empress frowned slightly, with some thoughts flashing in her eyes.

When those merchants followed Lin Luo to Luozhou, she felt something was fishy.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Dong sent Yao Rui over.

However, the feedback from Yao Rui does not seem to reflect the true role of these merchants.

Thinking of this, the empress looked at Yang Dong in front of her.

I saw this guy looking at me with a smile.

etc!

She suddenly thought of a possibility, and her eyes lit up slightly.

"You mean, since Lin Luo hasn't given benefits to those merchants yet, then we have a chance to operate from it."

"The dispatcher, Yao Qi, brought a work-for-relief plan when he went this time. If we can attract those businessmen to participate, the disaster situation in Luozhou can be quickly alleviated."

"It's just that... Yao Qi took office alone, and Lin Luo joined forces with Ji Zhong. If he wants to make any achievements, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Yang Dong also looked troubled and nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, this is the purpose of my late night visit."

"The current situation in Dazhou is severe. If the victims of the disaster in Luozhou cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that Houjin may really take risks."

"That's right, let me think about it."

The empress closed her phoenix eyes slightly, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her majestic cheeks.

But within a moment, she opened her eyes again. The hesitation in her eyes was gone, replaced by determination.

"Xiao Dongzi, I have a secret edict, do you have any way to send it to Luozhou?"

Yang Dong frowned slightly when he heard this.

Since it is a secret order, confidentiality is naturally extremely important.

However, although the group of crooked melons and cracked jujubes under his hands have made great progress, they may not be qualified for such an important task.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head.

The empress sighed softly and was about to speak when the cold voice of a blue bird suddenly came from outside the door.

"Why is Your Majesty so confused? Isn't the best person to secretly deliver the secret decree standing in front of you?"

As soon as these words came out, the empress' phoenix eyes lit up slightly.

She looked at Yang Dong and suddenly said in surprise:

"Xiao Dongzi, when did you enter the fourth-level martial arts realm?"

"The progress is so rapid, are you a martial arts wizard?"

However, Yang Dong was completely in no mood to answer the empress' question at this moment.

Because Qingniao's words just now had completely thrown him into panic.

Damn it, why did the blue bird suddenly wake up?

Then does she already know what happened just now...

Will she suddenly rush in and stab him through the heart?

No, she probably doesn't know what happened just now.

Otherwise, where would the young master have a chance to speak?

Yang Dong thought this and felt slightly relieved.

But the next moment, he realized that he seemed to be in another crisis.

Going to Luozhou to deliver a secret edict?

How could I go on such a fatal errand?

Life in the palace is already so terrible. If we go to Luozhou again...

So, Yang Dong shook his head firmly.

"Your Majesty, I am not a martial arts genius, I just have some adventures."

"As for sending the secret message to Luozhou, I don't think I'm up to the task. After all..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qingniao's cold voice sounded again.

"Manager Yang is joking. With your current level of cultivation, even if you are placed in the martial arts world, you are still considered a second-rate master."

"Besides, Your Majesty just asked you to send a secret message, and there is no need to fight or kill."

"Besides, didn't you personally promise to His Majesty before that you would serve His Majesty even if you risk your life?"

Blue Bird, are you poisonous?

The corner of Yang Dong's mouth twitched and he glanced sadly at the blue bird standing outside the door.

I just want to live a good life, why are you doing this?

But he knew that he had to show his loyalty to the Empress at this moment. Otherwise, if he aroused the Empress' suspicion, his future might be difficult.

So Yang Dong bowed deeply to the empress and said seriously:

"Serving His Majesty, I, Yang Dong, will die without regrets."

"However, Luozhou is thousands of miles away, and I can't give you any advice. Besides, the border is now covered with clouds. If I were to go to Luozhou at this time, I'm afraid..."

When the empress heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

It is true that Xiao Dongzi is the best choice to send the secret message to Luozhou.

But the situation in Luozhou is complicated, so Xiaodongzi... with his talent for managing the world, there is no need to worry.

As for the border war, even if Qin attacked at this moment, Zhou would still have time to respond.

Moreover, Xiaodongzi herself has the cultivation level of a fourth-grade martial artist. Even if the mission fails, the probability of escaping unscathed is very high.

So, the empress made up her mind.

"General Manager Yang Dong accepted the order..."

"I am worried about the floods in Luozhou. Therefore, I have appointed Yang Dong, the chief internal affairs officer, to inspect the disaster situation in Luozhou on my behalf."

"I appointed Yang Dong, the general manager of the palace, as acting envoy, and gave me a token as if I were here in person. If the matter is urgent, you can kill him first and report later."

"Xiao Dongzi, take the order!"

The empress looked majestic on her face and looked at Yang Dong in front of her.

At this moment, Yang Dong's whole body was numb.

No, Yourong, are you really willing to let me go to Luozhou?

So love disappears, right?

Damn Blue Bird, why did you deliberately go against me?

If I had known this, I would have pinched it a few more times no matter what I said.

Yang Dong sighed softly and cast a pitiful look at the empress without giving up.

"Your Majesty, can I not accept the order? I still want to stay with you..."

"What do you think?"

The empress' face darkened, and her jade hand unconsciously touched the Xiushui sword at her side.

Yang Dong's face changed slightly, and then he forced a smile.

"Your Majesty, I was just joking, ha... ha!"

"His Majesty asked me to deliver the secret edict because of his trust in me, Yang Dong. Am I, Yang Dong, the kind of person who cannot distinguish between good and bad?"

"Isn't it just to send a sealed edict? I'll come back as soon as I go..."

"Why do you want to go and come back?"

The empress frowned slightly, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Since you have gone to Luozhou, I have given you a token. Why don't you inspect various places in Luozhou for me?"

"Besides, the work-for-relief policy was originally your idea. You went here this time to do it yourself."

"Xiao Dongzi, don't let me down!"

"I……"

Yang Dong opened his mouth, feeling as if he had been tricked.

Yourong seems to be determined to make a difference in Luozhou.

Otherwise, it may be difficult to return to Beijing!
