As soon as Qin Yining finished speaking, Gao Delai translated her words into Japanese. The hall fell silent, and only the sound of Ishikawa Fusei's heavy breathing could be heard.
No one said a word. They all looked at Ishikawa Fusei, waiting for his reaction.
In Water Swamp Country, it was possible to refuse a duel, but if one refused, it would be seen as a sign of weakness. Not to mention the fact that the one making the request was a delicate woman. If the daimyo didn't even dare to accept a woman's challenge, he would be looked down upon.
Hearing Qin Yining's taunt, Adachi Totsuka drew his sword in anger. "You cunning woman! You deceived me, and now you're insulting the daimyo! I'll kill you! "
"You told me that the people of Water Swamp Country would listen to you and help me sell silk and goods. I promised you 40% of the profits, and you agreed to bring me to see the daimyo. It was a fair trade. Why are you calling me cunning now?"
Ishikawa Fusei looked at Adachi Totsuka suspiciously and angrily.
Adachi Totsuka's heart skipped a beat. He knew how suspicious the daimyo was.
In the past, he had told the daimyo how famous Sakurai Hideaki was in the outside world and how he was respected. He also said that his ninjutsu was unparalleled, and that he could assassinate anyone if he wanted to. The daimyo had taken note of this and found a way to banish Sakurai!
Now that this woman had said this in front of the daimyo, wouldn't the daimyo believe her immediately? Even if he didn't punish her immediately, the seed of suspicion had already been planted in the daimyo's heart!
As expected, Ishikawa Fusei looked at Adachi Totsuka with anger and blame. He was already convinced of his betrayal.
Qin Yining said, "Ishikawa daimyo, if you don't even dare to accept this woman's challenge, you'll become the laughingstock of the world. As the daimyo of a country, do you really not have the courage to accept this challenge? "
Looking at the expressions of the nobles and samurai present, Ishikawa Fusei knew that he couldn't run away anymore. If he didn't even dare to accept this woman's challenge, where would he put his face in the future?
Suppressing his anger, Ishikawa Fusei snorted. "Fine! I accept your challenge! When I win, I will definitely kill you and hang your beautiful head on the flagpole. I will let everyone see what the consequences of going against the great name are! "
"Kill! Kill! "Everyone roared. It was as if he had already killed the person.
Qin Yining was not afraid at all. After hearing Gao Delai's explanation, he immediately said, "Okay! Then I'll immediately go back and gather my men. We'll fight at the docks in the evening! I'll bring my men, and you bring your soldiers. Let's settle this once and for all! If you don't dare to come, then you are a coward! "
Ishikawa Fusheng thought back to his subordinate's report, saying that there were only a few dozen people on the ship. They were definitely not a match for his two hundred soldiers.
Knowing what to do, he smiled proudly. "Good! At that time, everyone would go to the docks to watch the battle. Everyone would be witnesses to who won and who lost! He must cut off this arrogant woman's head! Make her regret her rudeness now! "
Everyone roared at the same time, and their momentum was extremely shocking.
Qin Yining had no intention of staying any longer. He turned around and walked out. Ji Yun and Gao Delai stood in front of her to protect her, while Jing Zhe and Xiao Xue walked behind them. They swaggered out of the hall and went straight out of the mansion.
The banquet ended before it even started. Everyone in the hall was still enthusiastic, but Ishikawa Fusei's expression suddenly changed. He viciously kicked Adachi Manba's shoulder.
"You traitor! Idiot! "
Adachi Manba was kicked and rolled on the ground. His face was red with shame and anger. After kneeling, he bowed his head and said, "Please listen to my explanation. That woman is too cunning. She deceived me!"
"Is that so?"
Ishikawa Fusei turned around and asked, "Did Adachi Manba help that woman sell her goods?"
Hiragana, who had been hiding in the shadows, took a step forward and bowed her head. "Yes. Yesterday, I saw Adachi Manba go out with that woman with my own eyes. Everyone on the street can testify. "
"What else do you have to say?"
"Daimyo! I was deceived! "Adachi Manba was so anxious that sweat appeared on his forehead. Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would turn into a poisonous snake in the blink of an eye?
"Deceived? Do you think I'm as stupid as you!? "
Ishikawa Fusei was not only suspicious of Adachi Manba, but he was also provoked by Qin Yining's words, "The people of Water Swamp Country listen to him." Adachi Manba was very sly. He already had his own connections among the nobles, merchants, and the common people. Now that he was not sure if he was colluding with the nobles of Da Zhou, he could not let him go!
Ishikawa Fusei turned around and pulled out a slender sword.
Adachi Manba's eyes were filled with fear. He quickly said, "Daimyo, I did not collude with outsiders! Daimyo! "
"Go to hell!" Ishikawa Fusei did not want to listen to his explanation. He seized this opportunity and swung his sword.
Adachi Manba was so scared that he rolled and crawled to avoid the attack.
As a daimyo, if he wanted to kill his subordinate samurai, the samurai would not be able to avoid it.
Adachi Manba's action immediately proved that he had betrayed the daimyo.
All the samurai and nobles present rushed forward and killed this traitor for the daimyo.
Hiratsuki stood behind Ishikawa Fusei. Seeing one of the people who harmed Sakurai die so easily, he even regretted that he did not directly take action all these years and insisted on a face-to-face duel. He knew that this person was a coward and would never agree to a duel with him, but he still kept asking for a duel. How much time did he waste? How stupid was he!
He should learn from Sakurai's master and achieve his goal as soon as possible!
At this time, Hiratsuki suddenly realized something.
Ishikawa Fusei watched as Adachi Manba's body was dragged away. He turned around and ordered, "Men, get all the samurai ready and line up at the dock! I want to see what a little woman can do! "
When they heard about war, the women retreated to the back timidly and did not dare to say anything. The men shouted in unison. Their roars shook the sky and were full of vigor.
Ishikawa Fusei led his men and quickly prepared.
At this time, Qin Yining had already returned to the dock.
Thanks to Adachi Manba's order to the guards at the dock, all her actions were not stopped.
As soon as she boarded the ship, Qin Yining asked, "Has the signal been sent out?"
"The leader sent it out when he went out."
"Good." Qin Yining took off the hairpin on her head and smiled, "I think Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu are waiting anxiously."
Several people laughed heartily.
Especially Ji Yun. "Just now, the princess said that beside the daimyo, I think that lecher's life is in danger."
Qin Yining said carelessly, "He used this method to harm Sakurai back then. Now that he's retribution, it's what he deserves."
Knowing that Qin Yining had returned safely, everyone on the ship heaved a sigh of relief and began to prepare under her command.
