King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

The outcome has already been determined.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi was quick and decisive and did not waste time on this matter.

He did not explain himself or make any excuses.

There is no way to report it!

Things have come to this, there is no meaning anymore.

Liu Fang is a pawn and spy planted by the Ming Dynasty in Japan.

Moreover, this chess piece has an endless blood feud with their Japanese country.

Given Liu Fang's status in Japan, it can be said that there are few things in the entire country that Liu Fang doesn't know.

Liu Fang knew this, and he had a deep hatred for the Japanese.

How could the Ming Dynasty not know?
Realistic?
There is almost no possibility!
The entire Japanese nation is like a person without clothes in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Given the temper of the Ming Dynasty, it goes without saying that unless something unexpected happens, almost everyone on the Japanese mainland will be doomed.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi was also imprisoned by the Ming Dynasty earlier, and his life or death was unknown.

to this end.

What can he do?
Nothing can be done!
And what he knew, Liu Fang also knew almost the same thing.

What's the point of hiding it?

It is better to tell the truth and make others feel better, as well as yourself.

There is no need to suffer for this.

at the same time.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi was resentful and angry about Zhu Gaoxu's strategy, but he also admired him very much.

Choose a person who has some blood feud with Japan and make him a spy to infiltrate the country.

This spy will definitely do his best and work meticulously to obtain the information that the Ming Dynasty wants. The most important thing is that there is no need to worry about the spy being turned against and becoming a knife in the hands of others.

After hearing this.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshimochi wilting in an instant, he looked like an eggplant hit by frost.

Zhu Gaoxu was too lazy to talk to him, and waved to the Jinyiwei beside him:
"What are you still doing?"

"Take him down and put him in prison."

"Let him tell you everything he knows!"

"If you are dishonest..."

The rest of the words were not finished.

But we are all smart people, so how could we not understand the threat behind his words?

"promise!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"I know what to do."

After saying this, the captain of the Jinyiwei who agreed to the order, without any hesitation, led the way and strode towards Ashikaga Yoshimochi who had already given up resistance, and captured him directly. He was then escorted to the Jinyiwei prison along with all the members of the Japanese delegation who were not arrested.

Wait until you finish everything in front of you.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his gaze to Liu Fang, who was crying with his face covered, and reached out to pat his shoulder gently, saying comfortingly:

"rest assured!"

"This king knows about the experience and feels extremely sympathetic."

"But things have already passed, and we have to look forward."

"As for those Japanese bandits who have committed so many evil things, you can just put your heart in my stomach."

"The day when these bastards will be destroyed is not far away."

"The imperial court is already preparing for the expedition to Japan."

"The generals have already been selected, and it is Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui who will go to the battle."

"If nothing unexpected happens, King Zhao will return to Yingtianfu City in the next two days."

"But in the meantime, I have to inconvenience you a little."

"Let's go to the Imperial Prison with the Royal Guards!"

"Stay in there for this long..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fang subconsciously raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with confusion and fear, not quite understanding what he meant.

Let him go to the Jinyiwei prison?

No?

Just kidding?
What do you want?
Examine him, or don't believe him?

Or are you ready to get rid of it?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Fang's mind, and his face became gloomy at this moment.

For this reason, he opened his mouth to say something, wanting to ask why.

Without waiting for him to speak.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing nearby, also noticed the change in Liu Fang's expression in an instant. He instantly guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but laugh. He scolded:
"No, Lao Liu..."

"What the hell are you thinking about, you bastard?"

"Don't worry, this arrangement doesn't mean I don't trust you."

"This is indeed the arrangement, and it is also for your safety and to prepare for the court's subsequent deployment."

"Yesterday, the Jinyiwei learned this from the interrogation of the captured Japanese bandit, Ashikaga Yoshimochi's confidant Nakata."

"This time, Ashikaga Yoshimochi came to Ming Dynasty to do two things."

"The first one was the one we cracked in one fell swoop, stealing the advanced weapons manufacturing techniques and methods from our Ming weapons workshop."

"The second is that Ashikaga Yoshimochi has never told anyone about his attempt to assassinate that bastard Zhu Zhanji."

"It would be best if it succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't."

"The purpose is to use this as a trigger."

"It is intended to intensify the conflict between me and the boss and plunge the entire Ming Dynasty into a cloud of suspicion."

"As for what benefits Japan is planning in China, we still don't know for the time being."

"The result of this incident can only be known after interrogating Ashikaga Yoshimochi."

"The Jinyiwei have not yet found the location of those Japanese bandits responsible for the assassination."

"so……"

"It's only temporary, I'll inconvenience you for a while."

At this point, Zhu Gaoxu burst into laughter and joked:

"Don't worry, it's a single room."

“There will be no shortage of delicious food and drinks.”

"No one will torture you."

"Just stay here."

"After everything is settled, we will find the Japanese bandits who are still hiding in the dark."

"You can do whatever you want. No one will restrict your freedom."

The cause of the matter is clear.

Liu Fang, who had been worried, finally put his mind at ease at this moment.

Dele.

Love affairs are not what he thought!
so far so good.

You know, when he didn't know the reason just now, he was really scared.

Then, Liu Fang agreed without any hesitation:
"I obey my orders."

"Everything is subject to the prince's arrangements."

Then, Zhu Gaoxu nodded again to the person next to him.

After arranging everything, he didn't stay here for too long. He turned around and strode out the door.

Outside the envoy's post station.

Because it caused such a big fuss.

The Envoy's Station attracted the attention of the original residents and the Ming people who had already taken to the streets to find work. They stood in the distance with curiosity on their faces and looked towards this place from time to time, wanting to see what was happening.

The scene was extremely lively.

Hidden in the crowd, a thin man wearing a straw hat couldn't help but tremble when he saw clearly the figures being escorted out by the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. His expression couldn't help but change, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to squeeze forward.

However, just as he took a step, the person next to him reached out and pulled him.

Feeling the pulling force coming from beside him, the man with the straw hat turned around and looked over, only to see an old man in his fifties with a wrinkled face who shook his head slightly at him with a serious expression, and then glanced around vaguely.

After seeing the face of the person in front of him clearly, Straw Hat's expression became serious and he opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.

He was met with the old man's unquestionable restraining gaze, forcing him to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Then, the slightly hoarse voice of the old man came to my ears:

"This is not the place to talk."

"Come with me…"

After saying this, the old man did not linger for a moment, turned around and dodged through the crowd, quickly leaving and walking in the other direction of the street.

See this situation.

The man in the straw hat followed his pace without any hesitation.

……

Not long after.

In a secluded house.

The old man picked up the kettle and filled the two empty teacups in front of him. Then he looked at the closed door, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a rapid knock on the closed door.

The old man's half-closed eyes suddenly opened and he responded to the outside of the door:
"come in!"

"The door is unlocked."

then.

Fang saw that the man in the straw hat slowly opened the door and walked in, then quickly closed the door.

Wait until everything is done.

He quickly approached the old man, saluted him with an extremely respectful look and said:

"Greetings from the bottom of the well, Lord Ueno."

"I didn't know Lord Ueno had arrived. I hope you will forgive me for not coming to see you in time."

The man called Ueno was none other than the main person in charge of the assassination.

And the person in the well is a member of the assassination team.

but……

Although Ueno was the person in charge of the assassination, he did not enter Yingtian City with the assassination team.

Instead, he went alone, separated from the team.

This is also true.

That's why he was so surprised when he saw Ueno in the well just now.

Ueno smiled noncommittally, pointed at the hot tea on the table, and said softly:
"No problem..."

"Have some tea to moisten your throat first!"

Looking at the steaming tea in front of him, the man's expression changed involuntarily. A trace of panic and fear flashed across his face. Without the slightest hesitation, he knelt down and said:
"My lord, forgive me and spare my life!!"

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate..."

After hearing this.

Seeing this, Ueno remained calm and pointed at the steaming tea in front of him. He spoke calmly as if chatting with friends, and said:
"Drink...tea!"

"Can't you hear me?"

"Or...I can't order you?"

The voice just fell.

In the originally quiet courtyard, several figures suddenly appeared and surrounded the well in the shape of a "品" (a character), as if they were ready to attack if they disagreed.

In an instant.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard became extremely solemn, and a bone-chilling murderous intent permeated the air.

He knelt on the ground in the well, stood up tremblingly, and tremblingly picked up the teacup on the edge of the wooden table. He felt the mist rising from the tea in the cup, his face filled with endless fear. Although he was reluctant, he had to bite the bullet and pour the tea in the cup into his mouth.

Entrance.

In an instant, a stream of scalding heat burned his mouth so much that it became numb and he lost all feeling.

Then, follow the throat and then to the stomach.

Not one escaped, it was as if they were burned by fire.

After his mouth became numb, he could clearly feel bubbles popping out of his mouth from time to time, and his skin was burned off in many places.

At this moment underground, his face looked hideous and uncomfortable, as if he was wearing a mask of pain. He kept rubbing his throat with his hands and couldn't stop retching.

See if it’s almost cooked.

Ueno waved his hand, and then a man in tights came up quickly from behind, holding a can of cold water in both hands and placed it in front of the man at the bottom of the well.

Feeling the coolness of the cold water, he crawled forward in the well, snatched the cold water from the man's hand, and drank it frantically, with a hint of relief on his face.

Ueno glanced at him indifferently and asked:

"Under the well!"

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Jingxia, who had come to his senses, was shocked for a moment, nodded solemnly, and replied in a hoarse voice:
"Subordinate..."

"know."

"The tasks are different, so each of you should take care of your own business."

"No matter what happens, their tasks cannot be overlapped."

Get a definite answer.

Ueno half-closed his eyes and nodded with satisfaction:

"Do you remember?"

"I thought you had forgotten everything."

Having said this, he paused, then suddenly changed the subject and continued:
"You know, if you squeezed in just now."

"Do you know how many Jinyiwei in plain clothes are there in the crowd?"

"Once you are discovered by the Royal Guards, you will be captured."

"Are you sure you can resist the Jinyiwei's tactics?"

"If we can't handle it, do you know that our mission will be in vain?"

The man in the well shook his head frantically, then nodded quickly, saying "I dare not, I dare not."

As he spoke, Jingxia seemed to have thought of something, his expression tightened, and there was a hint of unwillingness on his face:

"Can……"

"Master Ueno."

"That's Ashikaga Yoshimochi-sama, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu-sama's biological son, and the heir to the shogunate!"

"Lord Ashikaga Yoshimochi has fallen into the hands of the Jinyiwei..."

"Let's go back and explain to Lord Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!"

"grown ups……"

The words have not yet fallen.

"Shut up!"

Ueno's angry roar and rebuke sounded, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, his face looked solemn, and he rebuked:
"I'm not blind."

"I saw."

"Do what you are supposed to do."

"It's not our business to ask about this, so it's best not to ask about it!"

"Ashikaga Yoshimochi..."

"Who is to blame for his fate?"

"You should pay for your own incompetence."

"He has no right to drag all of us to be buried with him."

"And given the current situation, what can we do?"

"Can we save them if we take action?"

"This is not something you should worry about!"

Having said this, he paused, looked around, and suddenly changed the subject, continuing:
"I came to Ming Dynasty on orders."

"Lord Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has given instructions."

"We and Lord Ashikaga Yoshimochi are two lines that do not intersect."

“Just do your part.”

"No matter who gets in trouble, don't take any risks."

"This is Lord Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's death order!"

"so……"

"Don't think too much, just go down and have a good rest."

"Give me enough rest and wait for everything to be arranged."

"Just complete our mission!"
