On the morning of the 30th, President Konishi woke up early and put on the most gorgeous clothes he had brought to Korea. Influenced by him, the leaders of the Japanese pirates in the city also changed into the most gorgeous Japanese costumes. Everyone held flowers in their hands and beat gongs and drums, ready to welcome the envoys of the Celestial Empire. Everything was ready.
Shen Weijing and Luo Shangzhi set off under the gaze of Xiao Ruxun. The 500-person "guard of honor" and "escort team" carried the hopes of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. Whether Luo Shangzhi could successfully enter the West Gate or not was very important to the Daming.
Xiao Ruxun observed silently not far away.
When President Konishi got the news that the envoys of the Daming were about to arrive, he was overjoyed. He quickly went to the Fengyue Tower on the city wall and looked west. He saw a team approaching Pyongyang from afar. Looking at the guard of honor in the team, it should be the envoys of the Emperor that Shen Weijing mentioned. When he got closer, he saw his old acquaintance, Shen Weijing, was also among them. He was dressed in a gorgeous costume and next to him was a Daming official in a blue official robe and a general. There were also more than 20 large carriages with big boxes tied up.
President Konishi was overjoyed and was ready to go downstairs to welcome them.
Although a team of 500 people was a bit large, it was probably to show the grandeur. The more people, the grander it was. Yes, that was it!
It could be seen how important acting skills were to a person.
President Konishi ordered the city gate to be opened. At the same time, he gathered the leaders of the Japanese Army in the city. They were dressed and holding flowers. Their faces were full of joy. They lined up and opened the city gate.
A group of soldiers in solemn clothes with weapons in their hands were first divided into two groups. They lined up and formed a human wall. One group was Ashigaru, and the other group was Iron Gunners. President Konishi was the leader, followed by the diplomatic monk Xuansu. More than 30 leaders slowly walked toward Shen Weijing and others who were not far away.
If they wanted to put on a show, they had to make the Japanese completely let down their guard. When the army took action, they would be at a loss.
Shen Weijing, as an important figure who could reduce the Japanese army's vigilance to the greatest extent, showed a kind smile from a distance. A few dozen paces away, the leaders of the Ming army dismounted together. Then, with Shen Weijing in the lead, they walked towards Director Little Nishi.
"How have you been, Brother Xiaoxi?"
Shen Weijing walked forward and cupped his fists. President Little Xi and the others quickly bowed in return.
"Shen Youji, I've waited a long time for you!"
Shen Weijing laughed, then pointed to He Hao behind him: "This is Admiral Xiao Ruxun's special envoy, Special Envoy He who is here to bestow the title."
"Oh! Then, President Xi greets the Special Envoy! "
The Country R people did not understand Chinese etiquette very well. They saluted the way President Xiaoxi saluted. Some people were already staring at the more than 20 big boxes on the Ming Army's vehicles, wondering what treasures were inside.
"Inspector Xiao is not coming?"
President Konishi asked.
Shen Weijing replied, "Admiral Xiao is the honorable admiral and the person in charge of the peace talks. Why would he personally come here? He is currently accompanying the King of Korea in Gyeongju and waiting for us to finish our discussion here. Then, he will accompany the King of Korea back to Pyongyang. Our three countries will meet together, and Admiral Xiao will be our witness. We can reduce the disaster of war and rebuild the friendship between the three countries. What do you think? "
President Little Xi was overjoyed. "Actually, I have long wanted to stop fighting. I'm really scared and homesick. I just wish I could grow wings and fly back to Japan. If the Celestial Empire is willing to bestow the title to us, we can withdraw our troops with peace of mind."
"Brother Xiaoxi, I have settled everything here. What about you?" Shen Weijing looked at President Little Xi with respect and asked, "When can the two princes be released?"
President Little Xi's face froze, and he said timidly, "Actually, I have always felt sorry for Brother Shen. Brother Shen has already settled everything, but I still can't take the two princes from Kato Kiyomasa. Wang Jing's reply is in agreement, but that bastard Kato Kiyomasa, he … he refuses to let them go. He will only let them go after he gets the title. No matter what I say, he won't listen to me. This …"
Shen Weijing's expression turned ugly.
"Little Xi, it's not that I want to criticize you, but I'm already 60 years old. I've traveled thousands of miles in the wind and rain, and my old bones are about to fall apart to help you get this done. Is this how you repay me? How am I supposed to explain this to the imperial court and Commander Xiao? Whether I can keep my head or not depends entirely on you! And this is how you repay me? "
President Little Xi closed his eyes and gave a 90-degree bow. "Brother Shen! Please enter the city and rest. We will settle everything and hand over everything. Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the army to take you to Kato Kiyomasa's military camp. Even if we have to rob them, I will help you get the two princes back! That bastard has really gone too far! "
When the time was right, Shen Weijing gave Luo Shangzhi a look. Luo Shangzhi nodded and waved his hand. A few Ming soldiers unloaded a large box and carried it to the Japanese officers. When they opened it, the box was filled with gold and silver ingots. The poor people's eyes widened.
President Little Xi swallowed his saliva and felt his heart pounding.
The Great Ming Empire is naturally generous, but generosity cannot be given casually. 70% of these are for your commander-in-chief, and the remaining 30% are for you as a thank you for releasing the two princes. Now, I don't know whether to give them to you or to Kato Seimasa. Xiaoxi, don't disappoint your elder brother's good intentions! "" That's right! "Hearing that, the Great Ming Empire's Great Ming Empire was generous, but generosity can't be given casually.
Shen Weijing's calm demeanor completely crushed President Xiaoxi's guard.
"Brother Shen, I will gather the troops immediately. You and I will go to Kato Kiyomasa's military camp. No matter what, I will definitely hand over the two princes to you in one piece! If Kato Kiyomasa dares to stop me again, I will break his legs! "
President Little Xi fiercely clenched his fists and made a fierce oath. He waved his hand and was about to order the troops to prepare for war. Seeing that he was about to fight with Kato Kiyomasa, Shen Weijing hurriedly stopped him. "Okay, okay, I have seen your kindness. I will go back and have an explanation. Let's go into the city first. The special envoy still has to read the imperial edict. We will discuss the rest after the imperial edict is read. By the way, are the incense burner and offerings ready?"
President Little Xi hurriedly pushed Monk Xuan Su. Monk Xuan Su hurriedly said, "According to your instructions and the etiquette of the Daming Kingdom, everything is ready."
Shen Weijing nodded. He walked to the back and winked at He Hao and Luo Shangzhi. Then he bowed and said, "Special envoy, let's go in!"
He Hao looked as usual and nodded. "Well, let's go!"
Luo Shangzhi also waved to the soldiers behind him. "Enter the city!"
President Little Xi stepped aside and invited the envoy of the Daming Kingdom to enter the city first. He wanted to follow behind to show his respect to the envoy of the Daming Kingdom. Shen Weijing generously said, "You are the master here. You lead the way, and we will follow you." President Little Xi smiled and led the way.
After a few steps, Mr. Xiaoxi suddenly felt a kick in his leg. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground. While he was in a daze, a hand pulled open his mouth, and the other hand suddenly popped up. Something unknown went down his throat. Being stimulated, Mr. Xiaoxi involuntarily swallowed, and the unknown thing went down his esophagus.
Then, he felt a cold touch on his neck, and a strange feeling made President Konishi's body and heart turn cold.
He should have been cold.
Miserable howls sounded behind him. The soldiers in front of him panicked and were covered by a rain of arrows. All of them died in the battle. They didn't even have time to shoot. The soldiers on the city wall were also caught off guard by the rain of arrows. Many of them directly fell from the city wall and fell to the ground. At the same time, a cold voice sounded in his ears. "Little Xi, don't blame your old brother.
"Xiao Xi, don't blame your big brother, I was forced to do this. We are all trying to survive. Who asked us to live in this man-eating world? Your big brother has been lying to you from the beginning. I'm sorry, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for coming to North Korea. From now on, as long as your big brother is still alive, he will burn some joss paper for you during the Qingming Festival every year. Your big brother will remember this in his heart. I'm sorry …" Xiao Xi said.
President Little Xi's consciousness became more and more blurred. He couldn't even feel the anger that a person who was deceived should have. His eyelids became heavier and heavier. His last trace of consciousness disappeared when he saw a tall general rushing into the city.
