C1670 Ito's Gift

The CIA was a very important intelligence agency to Xiao Letian, the support he gave was human and material, and Fu Sang, as the most important person for Xiao Letian to manage the forces in the Pacific, believed that he would not look down on them. With regards to the funds invested in the division of the ISI, Xiao Letian had never been stingy with his resources.

Of course, such an important institution had to be entrusted to the people who trusted and knew this place best. How could anyone know Fusang better than the people of Fusang? Therefore, this official position had to be filled by the people of the Fu Sang Country, and it was the most suitable position.

The one with the highest loyalty was obviously Sakamoto Ryoma, he had used his own blood to save Xiao Letian's life, and the two of them had the same opinion of the world's situation, so he was the best candidate to be the person in charge of the Fu Sang branch.

Since Xiao Letian did not have a suitable successor, coupled with the fact that a huge battle had already erupted, there was no time to think about such things. In the end, the daily work of CIA Fusang could only be entrusted to the deputy, Itou Hirobumi.

This Itou Hirobumi was also a talented person. She was a Reformist in the reformist and studied abroad, and later on she returned back to her country due to the four kingdoms' artillery attack, and later on she was released to the Osaka City because of the New Army.

With his talent and agility, coupled with the fact that Xiao Letian knew how powerful this person was, he was naturally not going to be polite and bring him into his own sect.

The period of time that Itou Hirobumi and Xiao Letian had to work together would also be spent in the evaluation period of loyalty, so it was natural that they would have the conditions to use this kind of person. If it wasn't for Mr. Ryoma being in a bad situation, then the authority to command this kind of person would not have fallen on him.

Actually, according to the system of CIA, Xiao Letian was not afraid that he would cause any trouble, because according to the rules that Xiao Letian had specified, a deputy chief for the time being was not allowed to wield a lot of power.

For example, the right to assassinate, the right to remove a top tier secret, or the right to transfer funds worth more than one million silver taels … That meant to say, Itou Hirobumi had to use her power inside the cage, it was still safe.

This was also one of the main reasons why Xiao Letian and Wang Huaiyuan could fight Haishenwai in peace.

However, Xiao Letian had truly underestimated the power of this Meiji official. He had never expected that Itou Hirobumi would actually set his sights on Hu Niu and her mother …

A month ago, when the war in the Amami Oshima entered a stalemate and the war in the Far East was in its height, Itou Hirobumi came to the Residence of Jun and met Hu Niu, who was about to give birth to the baby. As the person in charge of the CIA, Hu Niu's safety was her most important mission, so it was understandable that she would come here.

Using his own power, Hu Niu delivered countless gifts and increased his defensive strength by three times. On the left side of the Chieftain City, there were signs of Ninjas.

The burning charcoal pots drove the cold spring wind in Japan, the curtain in Heaven's Tower was tightly shut, not a single strand of cold air could enter. Under the protection of the four Japanese maids, Hu Niu puffed up her stomach, her entire body wrapped up like a cotton ball.

Facing Hu Niu was a push open wooden door, which looked like an active screen covered with thick wood carvings. On the white paper, there was a landscape painting drawn by Danqing, looking very pleasing to the eyes.

Itou Hirobumi knelt behind the screen door as Xiao Xing respectfully brought one gift after another into the room through the lacquer box. The servant was afraid that if he were to freeze Hu Niu, he would only open a small crack.

The western weave of Kyoto, the fan, the western music box of Bodo, the weave of Bodo, the raw medicine of Korea, the ginseng, the rice wine and snacks of Jiangnan … All kinds of gifts were sent in like flowing water.

All these years, he had accompanied Xiao Letian to eat countless of good things. Towards these gifts, she really did not mind, but as a subordinate, she had to express his thanks.

"Thank you, Lord Ito. I've spent a lot, but there's no need to buy these gifts. I've had everything before …"

"Ha …" Itou Hirobumi touched her forehead to the ground and said, "Yes, ma'am naturally doesn't think much of these little gifts, but it's still good to give them to the servants. This subordinate has worked hard, so I can't let Madame worry about such small matters …"

Brilliant, this flattery is really brilliant! Hu Niu laughed at her words, even the servant beside her twitched her brows. A smart person's words made people feel comfortable, and with a single sentence she fawned over everyone.

The Madam obviously wouldn't take notice of these gifts, as it praised Hu Niu's noble identity. After that, it gave Hu Niu a reason to have Madam leave these gifts to her servants, and gave him a reason to accept them, because Master shouldn't appear to be stingy, right?

Forget about the useless servants by Hu Niu's side, their occasional good words were enough to affect their master's judgement. Even if they didn't send any good words up, it would be worth it to spend some money to exchange them for something that wasn't bad.

After a few pleasantries, the meat show finally came. Itou Hirobumi smiled and said, "This subordinate came over from the capital to pay a visit to the Nielliang Tang Zhao Temple specially to request a peace talisman for Madam and the young master who is about to be born.

"Oh!" A woman is always the same. As long as you talk about her child, then it's natural for you to be more spirited. "" It's hard on you, open the screen, let me hear what you have to say …

The screen door which was painted with scenes was opened, revealing Itou Hirobumi who was kneeling down respectfully. "Reporting to Mistress, this is the safety amulet that I have requested for Young Master …" As she spoke, he pushed a delicate bag full of Buddhist runes onto the top of the tatami with his two hands.

There was actually a Bodhisattva statue carved from some unknown wood. It was extremely heavy, and it couldn't be said that this talisman was very expensive. Of course, it wasn't something that was easy to obtain.

Itou Hirobumi knew that Hu Niu looked down on these safety talismans, but the words that came later on were the real trump cards.

"Milady Matriarch, after hosting mother and young master's blessings in the Temple of Tang Zhao, I once said …"

"What did he say?" Hu Niu asked.

"The marshal said that the matriarch must have given birth to a young master, and a dragon amongst men!"

"Hiss …" The maidservants in the room were all shocked. They thought to themselves, "Truly flattering. Madam has been talking about her son's words in her dreams all this time. You sure know how to read them."

Hu Niu's heart felt as sweet as if she had drank honey. She laughed and said, "Hehe, no matter if it's true or not, you really know how to talk. I'm very happy, thank you very much … …"

Itou Hirobumi did not laugh, but instead straightened her waist and spoke with an abnormally serious tone, "Mistress! I do not have the slightest intention to lie to you. Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart, and I even brought a great gift for Young Master! "

Looking at Itou Hirobumi's serious expression, Hu Niu was shocked. "What do you mean …"
