"Lieutenant of the National Army Department, Li Zai——"

"Lieutenant of the Kun Department of the National Law Department, Duan Qingzhu——"

"Liu Cheng, Lieutenant of the State Finance Division Chen Department—"

Following the official's announcement, Han Dongwen suddenly pricked up his ears and sat upright.

The official positions of these three people are all subordinates. So based on the relationship between Li Zai and the Tantai family, can we think that the three people who are coming are the confidants of the Third Division?

It must be impossible for the three chief executives to follow him to West Asia. Thinking of this, Han Dongwen suddenly felt that his shoulders felt much lighter.

If he arrived in West Asia and had to worry between Jiang Ningyun and Tantai Fu every day, he really couldn't bear it.

Han Dongwen swallowed, opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of boarding the deck.

The first person is about in his early twenties, wearing black...

Oh, it's Li Zai. I'm very familiar with him. Next one.

"Your Majesty, Li Zai, has come to see His Highness. Under the orders of the Chief of the National Armed Forces, the National Armed Forces will go on this trip to protect the safety of Your Highness. We will definitely live up to our orders!"

Han Dongwen nodded as an agreement, and Li Zai clasped his hands and bowed before moving to the side. He still carries the forearm-long Poria thorn today, and will also serve as Han Dongwen's personal bodyguard in West Asia.

Han Dongwen raised his eyes and looked at the second person.

Department of National Law, Lieutenant of Kunbu Department, Duan Qingzhu.

This man is a short-haired man, not tall. He is wearing a dark blue short robe. It should be a very free and capable outfit, but it looks a bit uncoordinated on him.

He is too fat.

Although the short and fat Duan Qingzhu seemed to be trying his best to suck in his big belly, the fat on his belly was still bulging unsatisfactorily, making his belly look like a huge round ball.

Han Dongwen frowned, why did the dignified captain of the Law Department... have such a bad image?

Like a sweet potato!

Fortunately, this person seemed to have been in the court for many years and was not used to it at all. He just put his hands together and bowed with difficulty: "Your Highness, Duan Qingzhu, has been ordered by the Director-General of the National Law Department to escort the second officer of the Kun Department of the National Law Department during this trip.

The safety of the concubine and the Grand Supervisor of Taishu Pavilion will definitely be fulfilled!"

Mr. Pavilion Supervisor...

After hearing this, Han Dongwen couldn't help but smile bitterly. During this trip, Lao Wen Yongxing of Taishu Pavilion stayed in Simeng, and only Zhong Lilin came with him.

Zhong Lilin, the former Xiubu lieutenant, is now being protected like two weak princesses. He must feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

When Han Dongwen thought of this, he suddenly discovered a problem.

On the starship that day, Wen Yongxing said that during this trip, if the Principality of West Asia proposed conditions, a decision should be made after discussions between the Third Division and Taishu Pavilion.

But since the three general directors will not go to West Asia, how can we discuss this?

Zhong Lilin can represent Taishu Pavilion. He was originally Wen Yongxing's apprentice and was equal to Wen Yongxing in terms of status, but what about the Third Division?

Is it possible that for the Third Division, these three lieutenants are doing the work for them?

Han Dongwen glanced at Li Zai who was standing next to him. How close was his relationship with Tantai and his son? Can such a matter be left to him?

While he was thinking, he nodded towards Duan Qingzhu in front of him and motioned for him to step aside.

Taking a deep breath, Han Dongwen concentrated his attention.

The next person, Liu Cheng, is from the National Finance Department.

National Finance Division—one of the three divisions, but a strange power group that he has never had contact with since time travel.

According to Wen Yongxing's advice, in order to consolidate his power and suppress the two military departments who wanted to reform and admonish, the late Emperor Jingzong, the father of Lord Wen, did not hesitate to liaise with foreign countries to cut off cities and withdraw from the land.

In exchange for the pressure exerted by Taka and West Asia, the National Military Department and the National Law Department did not dare to act rashly.

After Jingzong's death, the National Financial Department, which had always supported him in such actions, was liquidated by the Second Department of Military Art, and should have been weakened to a certain extent in terms of power.

Fortunately, while cleaning up Jingzong's mess, the Department of National Defense and the Department of National Law also coveted the vacant peak of power. They targeted each other and gave the Department of National Finance some buffering time. Therefore, according to Wen Yongxing's judgment,

The National Finance Department should be recuperating now and will not and cannot stand up to put pressure on Han Dongwen.

Thinking of this, Han Dongwen's eyes became colder.

The National Finance Department is mostly the old department of Jingzong.

Although it was not a change of ownership or dynasty, based on Jingzong's actions alone, Han Dongwen did not think that this man would be a kind father, and it was certainly impossible for his subordinates to simply serve the blood of the old master.

It is still unclear what the attitude of this department towards itself is.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure stepped onto the deck. Han Dongwen raised his eyes and froze in place.

"Your Majesty, Liu Cheng, is here to see you. The Ministry of Finance, Si Chen, will be on your way to protect the satellite boat. We will certainly live up to our mission."

His words were shorter than the other two, but that wasn't what made Han Dongwen stunned.

Han Dongwen opened his mouth wide, and there was only one reason why he didn't come back to his senses for a long time——

This is a child!

Liu Cheng, the captain of the National Treasury Sichen Department, is actually a little black-haired boy who looks to be only eleven or twelve years old!

The clothes he wore were tailor-made, but he was wearing a white robe embroidered with gold.

The most eye-catching thing is the silver dragon mask he is holding in his arms. Naturally, he cannot hide his face when he pays homage to the Holy Lord, but when he steps down later, he must put on this silver dragon mask.

After Liu Cheng finished reporting in his immature voice that had not yet changed, he put down his silver dragon helmet, cupped his hands, and bent down to bow. He looked quite skilled, just like any other minister.

But for this little boy of eleven or twelve years old to perform this action, Han Dongwen really needed some time to digest it.

"……good."

Han Dongwen squeezed out a sound from his throat, Liu Chengna thanked him, knelt down on one knee, picked up the silver dragon mask, and walked towards Li Zai and Duan Qingzhu.

Han Dongwen's eyes also followed the little boy's figure. He noticed that no matter whether it was Li Zai, Duan Qingzhu, or any of the soldiers on the deck, they looked at Liu Cheng in a way that was neither funny nor scornful.

That is the most normal and reasonable look on your face when you see your colleagues and leaders.

That's the most normal look on an adult's face.

Han Dongwen leaned back into the chair in silence, feeling a little pain in his head.

Alright alright.

What's wrong with the child, Han Dongwen, treat him as a normal person! Don't be attracted to unnecessary attention, think, think!

What did he just say?

Liu Cheng only said that he was a captain of the Chen Department and wanted to guard the safety of the starship at his feet. What did he miss?

By order of the Director General of National Finance.

He didn't say these seven words.

Li Zai and Duan Qingzhu both mentioned it, but Liu Cheng didn't say...

A trace of doubt flashed across Han Dongwen's brows. What is the situation of the chief executive of the National Finance Department?

However, the person who can answer his questions is not on the star boat. Wen Yongxing wants to stay in Simeng and Xiao Hongdou on behalf of Taishu Pavilion and Sansi... I am afraid that this kind of thing will be really difficult for her.

Ask Jiang Keyin?

Or ask Zhong Lilin?

Han Dongwen thought about it, and many other servants had already passed by him, bowing and bowing. Most of them were the heads of officers and soldiers responsible for the operation of the star boat. Even the foreman of the imperial kitchen who boarded the boat this time also came to bow.
