Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

The horse walked slowly and walked for seven days before seeing the city wall of Seoul. Along the way, Shen Weijing was frothing, constantly bragging about how many high-ranking officials of the Land of the Rising Sun he had talked and laughed happily with.How well he understands the customs of the Land of the Rising Sun, and what kind of knowledge of the Land of the Rising Sun is he. It only took him an hour to figure out Yang Yizhi's temper, knowing that he would never get angry or hurt himself, so he started to act presumptuously.His big pipe began to spew black smoke at all times, his thin face was hidden in the black smoke, and he would stick out suddenly from time to time, blowing wildly at Yang Yizhi.

After walking for seven days, Yang Yizhi had already heard his heroic deeds seventeen or eight times.Every time is different. Any other person would have told Shen Weijing to shut up seventeen or eight times, but Yang Yizhi still smiled gently.Therefore, when he walked to Seoul, Shen Weijing was already arrogant, and really thought he was a hero. The guards in Seoul had already heard the news of their arrival, and the gates of the city were wide open, and they lined up to welcome them. The sound of the boundless horn sounded, dispelling the morning fog.Stepping on the sun, there are groups of soldiers in full armor, standing silently on both sides of the road.Their battle armor and weapons shone coldly against the sun, and their faces were serious.They are all elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, and they exude an invisible murderous aura.

The morning fog continued to recede, showing continuous figures on the road.At every step, two soldiers stood facing each other, heavily armored.The morning fog was misty, and the queue of soldiers could not see the end.The flags fluttered, and from a distance, the city of Seoul was lined up with soldiers. This place is still five miles away from Seoul.Obviously, the five miles of the road are full of soldiers. Shen Weijing's bragging stopped abruptly, his face gradually turned pale, and his body shook involuntarily.His flickering gaze began to wander around, looking for a possible direction to escape.He looked at Yang Yizhi, but saw that Yang Yizhi's face was still calm, his heart was a little more stable, and he drove his horse closer to Yang Yizhi: "Yang... President Yang, there are so many people."

Yang Yizhi smiled slightly: "That's not because of welcoming Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is a master of the Wa Kingdom, equivalent to half of their fellow villagers. Naturally, they really want to see him. Maybe they will keep Mr. Shen and not let him go back." Shen Weijing's face turned pale with fright: "Yang...Yang...Mr. Yang, don't joke..." Yang Yizhi wanted to scare him a few more words, but seeing that he was really scared, it was fine.However, even if he didn't scare him, Shen Weijing was already terrified.It doesn't look like he is riding a horse, he is simply riding a boat.Not only by boat, but also by seasickness.He leaned forward and backward, as if he was about to fall or vomit at any moment.

It took more than an hour to walk five miles.Shen Weijing seemed to have gone around in the 18th floor of hell, his body was already drenched in sweat.By the time he finally entered the gates of Seoul, fear had overwhelmed him and he had become numb.So much so that when he saw the army formation that was actually lined up to meet him, he didn't show a particularly frightened look. The place to entertain the envoys of the Ming Dynasty was chosen at Longshan Station.This is a huge military camp.President Xiaoxi led thirty daimyos to sit cross-legged in the large tent in the center, with more than 30,000 soldiers lined up neatly on both sides, and the atmosphere was severe.

The horn made of yaks blew, and the mountain wind blew down from the peak, making the flags flutter.There was no other sound in the barracks of 30,000 people. But it seems to be built on a volcano that may erupt at any time. When Shen Weijing walked past these murderous warriors, his legs trembled so much that he could hardly stand up.Mouth babbling, I don't know what to say.Yang Yizhi sighed, flicking the sleeves of his robe, supporting his body so that he would not fall down. They finally reached the big tent.Shen Weijing trembled, barely standing up straight.Looking at the stern faces of the daimyos in the room, he suddenly realized how stupid he was to come to such a dangerous place.These people are all demons who kill without blinking an eye!

He couldn't help but want to turn around and run out. At this time, Kato Kiyomasa slowly stood up and said, "Congratulations to the envoy of Ming Dynasty." The 30,000 people outside the tent slammed their spears on the ground at the same time, and said sharply, "Welcome the envoy of Ming Dynasty!" The shouts of 30,000 people joined together, neat and powerful, and rang in Shen Weijing's ears like thunder.Shen Weijing screamed in fright and sat down on the ground. All the great names of the Land of the Rising Sun were startled, and then burst out laughing.Just as Yang Yizhi was about to say something, he suddenly remembered Zhuo Wangsun's arrangement, so he kept silent.Smiling and looking at Shen Weijing and the other big names.

The daimyos of the Land of the Rising Sun listed so many soldiers just to humiliate the envoys of Ming Dynasty.Seeing that Shen Weijing was so wretched, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, thinking that the Ming Dynasty boasted that it was the heyday of cultural relics, but it was nothing more than that. They all had smiles on their faces, apparently thinking that the envoys of Ming Dynasty were too easy to deal with, and this negotiation would definitely make a lot of money.They all stood up with smiles, and asked the two to sit up. Shen Weijing sat up tremblingly.He also knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he tremblingly said, "Lu Hua... Lu Hua..."

After sitting down, Kato Kiyomasa said, "Mr. Shen, please take a look." Several soldiers in full armor brought up the peace treaty drafted by the Kingdom of the Rising Sun and placed it in front of Shen Weijing. The treaty is very simple, only the following: First, the two armies will cease fighting immediately.The Japanese army withdrew from Seoul, and the Ming army withdrew from Goryeo. Second, cede the area east of the Datong River to the Kingdom of the Rising Sun. Thirdly, take Prince Linhai of Koryo as a hostage to the Land of the Rising Sun, so that Japan and Korea can reconcile forever.

Seeing these three conditions, Shen Weijing couldn't help but gasped, and his chaotic head began to wake up.He pressed his hands on the tables, reading each word, trying to understand the meaning of each word, but he still couldn't concentrate on thinking. After a long time, he raised his head with a flattering smile on his face: "Is this... terms... negotiable..." Kato Kiyomasa sternly said, "Is there anything that can be negotiated or not? This clause is already very preferential!" He drew out his knife and said sharply, "If the Kingdom of the Sunrise hadn't restrained the army, Goryeo would have perished long ago! Don't you all appreciate the great kindness of the Kingdom of the Sunrise?"

He roared like a tiger, making a gesture to snap at Shen Weijing.Shen Weijing let out a scream, leaned back hard, and with a plop, he fell to the ground with his chair. Kato Kiyomasa and the thirty daimyo laughed together. Suddenly, with a ding, the sword in Kato Kiyomasa's hand broke in two. Kato Kiyomasa was startled, only to hear Yang Yizhi say indifferently: "I heard that the warriors of the Sunrise Kingdom regard swords as their lives. They have always believed that swords are with people, and swords are dead. Where is your sword?" Kato Kiyomasa was startled, and suddenly pulled out another knife from his waist. Ding.Yang Yizhi didn't even move, the knife broke in two again. Yang Yizhi looked at him coldly. "You, why don't you have a caesarean section?" These big names from the Land of the Rising Sun shamelessly humiliated Shen Weijing, which made Yang Yizhi feel a little annoyed.He was originally a person of clear wind and bright moon, but he was also ready to make a move at this time, to let these people know a little awe. Otherwise, this negotiation will definitely not have any good results. Kato Kiyoshi stared blankly at the two knives in his hand, then suddenly dropped the knives and jumped on them. The sword is the life of a samurai in the Land of the Rising Sun.The sword was broken, and the samurai suffered a great humiliation.This humiliation must be washed away with blood, either the enemy's blood or his own blood! Yang Yizhi sighed leisurely. Kato Kiyoshi's tiger-like body suddenly flew out and landed safely on his seat.As if he had never moved.There were two ding ding sounds, and two broken knives, one long and one short, fell on the table. Yang Yizhi's voice came faintly: "Where is the spirit of Bushido?" Kato Kiyomasa let out a tiger roar! Yang Yizhi stood with his hands behind his back, his moonlight-like figure remained unmoved at all. Thirty daimyo stood up together.Anger flashed in their eyes. No one dared to humiliate the warriors of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun like this! Yang Yizhi's face was pale, the shouts of 30,000 soldiers, and the anger of 30 daimyos were like Songfeng, they couldn't move him in the slightest. Kato Kiyomasa said sharply: "You are not allowed to insult Bushido!" He backhanded, pulled out the two severed knives in his hand, turned around and said to Xiao Xixing, "Please help me to decapitate me!" President Xiaoxi said word by word: "I will help you avenge!" Take the long knife in Kato Kiyomasa's hand. Kato Kiyomasa let out a mournful cry, and suddenly stabbed the dagger towards his lower abdomen. Suddenly, a voice came over faintly. "Toranosuke." Kato Kiyomasa stopped abruptly.Toranosuke was his nickname, and no one dared to call him that since he became the number one general in the Land of the Rising Sun.Except for one person. only one person. One word from this person can make him do anything. The broken knife had penetrated an inch into the skin, but Kato Kiyomasa immediately stopped moving. A person walked over slowly and took the broken knife in his hand. "Toranosuke, this is not your sword. You are the number one general in the Land of the Rising Sun, how can your sword be so humble? Your sword belongs to the 300,000 troops of the Land of the Rising Sun!" "If anyone breaks your knife, it will not be too late for you to have a laparotomy." With that said, he turned around and faced Yang Yizhi. He was wearing an extremely graceful and generous white robe, just like snow.When he faced Yang Yizhi, it was like a ball of snow facing a beam of moonlight. His face is clear and handsome, like snow, or like a white plum that has just trembled.His eyebrows are slender, like a distant mountain lying in the snow, scattered with laziness and clarity.There was a sakura-like splendor and sadness hidden in the faint eyes. He is like a poem in ancient times, ancient and melodious. Who is he? Yang Yizhi stared at him, and said slowly: "Lord Taige?" The man smiled: "I was just talking about Zen with the Zen master of Tianling Temple. I heard someone reported that Tiger's help was in trouble, so I came here in a hurry. I can see Leader Yang." "Toranosuke, come here to meet President Yang. He is an invincible man! In my opinion, the Elder Zongfeng of Iga Valley can't catch his move." After saying these words, the thirty daimyos of the Land of the Rising Sun could not help but be shocked.Elder Igatani Zongfeng commanded all the ninjas in the Land of the Rising Sun, known as the number one expert in the Land of the Rising Sun, and all the daimyos were proud to be his disciples.If even Elder Zongfeng couldn't catch his move, then it would not only be a disgrace, but also an honor to be defeated by Toranosuke. They will never doubt this man's words, because this man will never lie.If he said that Elder Zongfeng couldn't catch Yang Yi's move, then Elder Zongfeng would definitely not be able to catch it. Because this is their master. Because, he is Taige, the actual ruler of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, the peerless hero who unified the entire territory of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun for the first time and ended the Warring States Period.Hirao Hideyoshi-sama. Kato Kiyomasa's eyes were full of doubts. It's not that he didn't believe Hira Hideyoshi's words, but he just felt that Yang Yizhi was so young, no matter how strong his martial arts were, he wouldn't be able to reach this level.But he still knelt down in front of Yang Yizhi, and said respectfully: "See Lord Leader Yang." The warriors of the Land of the Rising Sun admire the strong most, and the martial arts that Yang Yizhi showed just now are almost like gods and demons.Kato Kiyomasa admired sincerely.Yang Yizhi helped him up, but didn't say anything. Yang Yizhi's heart was full of doubts.It's not that he hasn't seen Hira Hideyoshi, he has seen it in the abandoned temple.The domineering hero with red eyes and fire pupils left a deep impression on him.But the person he saw at this time had an ancient and elegant appearance, very similar to the legendary onmyoji Abe Seimei in the Heian era. It is absolutely impossible for him to be the same person as the man with red eyes and fire pupils, but precisely, they have the same temperament, no matter how you look at them, they should be the same person. what the hell is it? This question temporarily occupied his mind, so he didn't even pay much attention to Kato Kiyomasa's kneeling. Ping Hideyoshi smiled: "It's such a blessing to be able to meet the heroes of the world. Let's put aside business for today, and I will have a drink with a good guest." Shen Weijing also got up from the ground at this time, hugged the form in disgrace, and showed a usual flattering smile: "I will definitely take these terms back, discuss them with us adults, and give Lord Taige a satisfaction." of the reply." He was telling the truth. He really couldn't wait to escape back, and he didn't want to stay any longer. Ping Hideyoshi smiled again: "Mr. Shen must stay, because I have acquired a new strange person, and I must let the two of you see it." Having said that, there was a light of joy in his eyes.As if he is a hospitable host, he can't wait to take out the best things and share the rewards with the guests. Shen Weijing and Yang Yizhi were welcomed into a tea room. As soon as he stepped in, Shen Weijing couldn't help screaming as the cock was trampled on his throat.This is admiration, because he never thought that there is such a splendid tea room. A magnificent palace stands in the center of Seoul, and behind the palace is the seven-story castle tower.Although this palace is smaller in scale, it is no less elegant than the Forbidden City in terms of elegance.Being able to see such exquisite buildings in Korea made Yang Yizhi's eyes brighten. But Shen Weijing's gaze was completely attracted by that tea room. The palace is just the coat of the teahouse.The tea room was built in the very center of the palace. Compared with the tea room, the splendor of the palace immediately paled. This tea room is actually all made of gold. The entire piece of gold, polished into a brick shape, fit together piece by piece, building the prototype of this teahouse.The carved beams and painted buildings are all made of gold.The big beam in the middle of the single tea room is thick and thin, and more than three feet long, and the gold alone will cost a thousand catties. But these are only worldly riches and honors.The value of gold may be nothing compared to the decorations on the walls.These decorations are extremely quaint and simple, but Yang Yizhi's sharp eyes immediately noticed that each one is thousands of years old.Each of these decorations is priceless.This tea room made of gold is nothing more than a seat for enshrining them. Hira Hideyoshi smiled and greeted the guests, and walked in. The eyes of the two suddenly brightened.The space in the tea room seemed incomparably vast and dazzling, as if suddenly stepping into the starry sky.Shen Weijing rubbed his eyes in astonishment. After a long time, he finally realized that the walls of this tea room were covered with whole pieces of crystals.The crystals reflect each other and reflect layer by layer, creating the illusion of infinity. You know, even a small piece of crystal is extremely precious.I have never heard of such a huge crystal mirror! Perhaps, only in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, there are such rare treasures! Shen Weijing walked a few steps in surprise.His image was immediately reflected on the crystal mirrors on the four walls, as if there were thousands of Shen Weijing walking towards him at the same time.This scene was so strange that Shen Weijing opened his mouth wide in astonishment, unable to speak for a long time. Even if it is the fairy palace in the sky, it is nothing more than that. Shen Weijing sat down in a daze, his heart beating non-stop.Compared with such a grand and rare scene, the utensils actually used for tea drinking, although precious, are not so shocking. The gold screen is pasted with red spun gauze painted with fine chrysanthemum patterns.The surface of the tatami is bright red with a slight cyan, the edge is gold thread brocade with tender green onion flowers, and the middle is covered with thick Echizen cotton. The three-foot bamboo edge of the corridor is made of fine kudzu, and three cushions are placed on the bamboo edge.On the bed, a bouquet of flowers, with dew on the petals, was placed in a turnip vase.The table is made of gold, and on the gold table on the upper shelf is a Tianmu tea bowl, and next to it, a gold jujube bowl is placed in a gold square basin. On the lower shelf are gold tea stoves, tea pots, spoon handles, water lids, pitchers, lid sets, gold Ido tea bowls, and gold tea spoons. Only cylindrical bamboo brushes and tea towels are common items, and the charcoal bucket is a golden gourd. Tea is the flower of the pine flower teapot. A woman was kneeling and sitting quietly in the middle of the tatami. Seeing everyone coming in, the woman turned her head slowly. The water red on her body turned around together, turning into thousands of prosperity in the crystal mirror. Yang Yizhi's whole body was shocked.His shock was no less than that of Shen Weijing. That was lovesickness.
