Chapter 125: The Art of Deception!
Lorne and the three high-class emissaries were enjoying the music and dancing in this brothel. They drank, ate, and chatted to pass the time. In the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.
As for the deeper level of research, Lorne was not particularly interested in such things. He did not have such a hobby.
Although the Fusang envoys had such thoughts, Lorne was still sitting opposite them. They did not look like they were planning to do anything else here. Therefore, the three of them ended their night there. It was almost time to go back, so they stood up together.
Lorne did the same trick again, playing hard to get.
He held down Inagumi that was about to go downstairs, then said with a smile on his face.
“Friends, please wait for a moment. I’ll be treating you to todays visit. Just treat it as me being the host.”
As soon as Lorne finished speaking, the three Fusang envoys immediately looked anxious.
The leader waved his hand.
“How is this possible? You told us the secret of expanding the population, and now you want to pay for this too?
“Isn’t that too much? We’re all friends, and if we really let you pay for it, would we still act like friends?
“If the emperor finds out about this, then we probably won’t be able to step foot on our land. That would be a shameful thing to do if we were to accept your money.”
Speaking of which, the three of them immediately got to work. The two vice ambassadors clamped Lorne on the left and right, the last one ran downstairs.
Lorne pretended to be very eager to pay the bill and struggled to break free. However, the two ambassadors were quite strong. In the end, Lorne could only helplessly give up the idea of paying the bill.
Not long after, Inagumi ran up like a gust of wind. Then, he beamed and beckoned everyone to go down.

Lorne even pretended to be obedient after having to sit back and watch them pay for the bill. He even sighed to prove his point.
“You guys are guests. As the host, it’s not a big deal for me to invite you guys out for a visit. Why do we have to fight for the bill?
“This makes me seem a little unenthusiastic as the host. It’s really not a good image of me.”
Santako was beside him and immediately said with a serious expression, “Sir Lorne, that’s not right.
“Although we came from Fusang and you are the host representing the Lolan Empire, we came here with the intention to learn.”
“Not only are you our friend, but you are also our good teacher. Is there any reason to ask our teacher to pay for us when all he does is teach us?
“Therefore, you won’t have to move an inch. We can still afford to pay with our money. Fusang is not so poor!”
The other two people immediately agreed with Santako’s words.
Lorne reluctantly nodded his head, and then the three envoys of Fusang expressed their satisfaction in winning.
Then, the group of four walked out of the brothel and quickly found carriages by the side.
Lorne was going back to his tavern. The other three naturally had to go to the posthouse that the imperial court had arranged for them.
After all, they had official identities. They were foreign envoys and ministers. It was impossible for them to not return to the designated location at night. That would inevitably cause some trouble.
After letting the two carriages wait by the side, Lorne whispered in the ears of the three people.
“The purpose of coming here today is to give you a taste of what it means to be truly open between men and women.
“If you feel that my suggestion is feasible and are prepared to report it to your emperor after returning to your country, then you might as well perfect your proposal.”
Inagumi was at a loss for a moment, but he still said respectfully, “Sir Lorne, your suggestion is excellent. We’ve already prepared to send someone back to Fusang and have the emperor begin the preparations.
“I just don’t know what you mean by a more perfect measure. If it’s possible, please let us know.”
Lorne immediately pulled the three people to the side and began to explain.
“This so-called measure is that while you guide the country’s men and women to open up, you can also use some methods like books, words, and pictures to promote it.
“You can even invite some people to specially interpret the relationship between men and women. This way, it will be effective at a faster speed for everyone to be more open-minded.
“Otherwise, even if your emperor gives the order, the change from top to bottom will take a long time. Therefore, you have to use many methods in order to implement this idea.”
The three Fusang envoys could not help but ponder over it. One by one, they held their chins and thought rapidly in their minds.
To be honest, this suggestion was a little too bold for them.
Not only did they need to use words and pictures for official publicity, they even needed to hire people to interpret it.
Was this not just letting the Fusang authorities have s*x? If this was in the past, it would have been a ridiculous plan. It would have been impossible to pass this proposal.
However, now, combining this population development strategy with the core idea of improving the culture of men and women in the country, made this method quite interesting.
Therefore, after thinking about it, they agreed that such a method was needed.
Inagumi said to Lorne, “Sir Lorne, we will definitely consider your suggestion properly. I will write a letter as soon as possible and get someone to send it back to the Emperor.
“I think the Emperor will definitely agree to such a matter that benefits the country and the people. Soon, you will be able to see the growth of our Fusang Empire.”
“When that time comes, you will be the distinguished guest of our entire Fusang Empire. We will definitely not forget your blessings!”
At this point, the three envoys of Fusang suddenly stood in a row and bowed to Lorne together. Their respect and worship were clearly expressed.
Lorne was stunned when he saw the three of them suddenly do this. However, he quickly straightened them up and put on a sincere expression.
“The two countries are neighbors. Fusang and my Lolan are considered good neighbors. It’s only reasonable for me to help you as a friend.”
The three of them bowed again and then, with a face full of gratitude and respect, got into the carriage.
Lorne watched the carriage leave and could not help but mutter in his heart. ‘What a fool.’
He had played such a trick. Was it because he had laid a solid foundation for the future of Fusang that made him gleam in joy? Perhaps Fusang would be able to produce a film about him in the future. He had to thank himself for this should it happen.
