The next day, Shen Weijing and his entourage set out from Kaesong, preparing to rush to Wangjing to negotiate peace with the Japanese people. The DPRK side held a grand farewell ceremony for Shen Weijing.

"On the mission, the two princes will ask you, and I hope you will take a lot of trouble and be sure to persuade the Japanese people to release them." Faced with the loss of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and the two cowardly and incompetent princes, King Lee of Joseon valued the safety of the two princes more than ever.

"Rest assured, rest assured. It's all on me. Please come back. Shen Weijing was a little bored with the Korean king in front of him, who had some mother-in-law and mother-in-law, he turned over and stepped on the war horse and spurred the horse away.

A few days later, Shen Weijing and his entourage arrived at the Ming army camp located on the North Oval Mountain on the north side of Wangjing City.

Although Shen Weijing is setting foot in officialdom for the first time, he is still very clear about the importance of the task of this peace talks. From the moment he set foot on the land of North Korea, he knew very well that there were two heavyweights of the Ming Dynasty who had to meet before the peace talks.

These two heavyweights are Li Rusong, the commander of the Ming army who is currently in the camp of the Ming army, and Luo Shiyin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. Not only are the two much higher than Shen Weijing in terms of official rank, but more importantly, they know a lot about all aspects of the situation in North Korea.

Therefore, the shrewd Shen Weijing will never forget the importance of these two important figures to this peace talks.

As far as Li Rusong, who advocated the use of force to settle the Korean war, he was deeply opposed to the imperial court's decision to negotiate peace talks. It's just that the holy order is difficult to disobey, and Li Rusong has to reserve his opinion. Based on this mentality, Li Rusong was extremely indifferent to the visit of Shen Weijing, the envoy of the peace talks, and after a few simple greetings, the meeting between the two ended with Shen Weijing's embarrassing withdrawal.

The meeting between Shen Weijing and Luo Shiyin was relatively harmonious compared to the meeting with Li Rusong.

Regarding Shen Weijing's background information, the domestic Jinyiwei has already passed it to Luo Shiyin through his own channels. He had his own understanding of why the Holy Lord appointed such a market scoundrel who knew a few words of Chinese as the envoy of this peace meeting:

Although the Japanese people offered to beg for peace, they did not indicate the conditions for their peace. If an important figure in the imperial court was directly sent to Wangjing to negotiate peace with the Japanese people at this time, it was very likely that he would encounter many unexpected difficulties and troubles without knowing the conditions of the other party in advance.

Therefore, in Luo Shiyin's view, the group of envoys sent by the imperial court to North Korea this time are not at all peace envoys in the true sense. At best, at most, they were a group of pioneers who came to test the truth and falsehood of the Japanese people in the name of the peace envoys.

Based on this, Luo Shiyin did not take Shen Weijing, the guerrilla general of the Shenji Battalion, who came to meet him, too seriously. However, because of the signboard of the other party's peace talks, Luo Shiyin still decided to meet the other party, anyway, for this holy hand-appointed peace envoy, Luo Shiyin felt that it was reasonable to do it from the big picture.

"Shen Wei, the guerrilla general of the Shenji Battalion, respectfully meets the commander!" Entering Luo Shiyin's tent, Shen Weijing knelt on one leg and bowed to Luo Shiyin, who was sitting behind the wooden table.

"Shen Guerrilla, please get up." Luo Shiyin bowed and raised his hand to signal to Shen Weijing.

"Thank you, sir!" Shen Weijing stood up.

"Shi Lang, please sit down, Lord Shen." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang, who was standing aside.

"Lord Shen, please be seated." Shi Lang pointed to a chair on the side and said to Shen Weijing.

"Thank you, Lord for your seat." Shen Wei respects the great

Step over to the chair and sit down.

Shi Lang sat on the chair opposite Shen Weijing.

"Lord Shen has traveled a long way, and it has been hard." Only then did Luo Shiyin raise his head and carefully look at the so-called "market scoundrel" in front of him.

What surprised Luo Shiyin was that the Shen Weijing in front of him was not as obscene and humble as he imagined, on the contrary, at first glance, this Shen Weijing gave people a feeling of neither being humble nor arrogant, and the greeting language just now was also decent. Luo Shiyin had a good impression of Shen Weijing.

"The lower officials are blessed with holy grace, and when they came to Korea to negotiate peace, they should be in the spirit of fighting for twelve points, and they dare not slack off in the slightest. It's not hard. Shen Weijing's eyes were blazing, and he replied as he looked at Luo Shiyin.

"I heard that Lord Shen used to do business in the Wa Kingdom in his early years, and he knows a lot about all strata of the Wa Kingdom, especially the upper-class figures." Luo Shiyin said to Shen Weijing.

"I don't know very much, but I just know a little. It was precisely on the basis of this point of the subordinate officials that the military department Shangshu Shi recommended me to the Holy Lord to serve as the chief envoy of this peace talks. With that unpleasant meeting with Li Rusong, Shen Weijing learned a lesson, and in a timely manner, he moved out of the military department in front of Luo Shiyin, whose official rank was much higher than himself, to cheer himself up.

"Shen Da's population is like a river, and it is a talent. Lord Shi is really discerning. Seeing Shen Weijing launch the military department book, Luo Shiyin naturally wanted to praise the other party.

"Thank you for the compliment. The lower officials came this time, first, to pay a special visit to the commander; The second is to implore the commander to give some advice to the subordinate officials on this trip to Wang Jing. ”

"I can't point to it. Lord Shen knows more about the Japanese people than we do. Since the Holy Lord has appointed you as the chief envoy of peace, Lord Shen will do his best to do it, even if he displays his talents. When the time comes, I will send this Shi Qianhu with you, and he will take full responsibility for your security. ”

Shi Lang has not been pardoned for his crimes, and he has not been reinstated, but Luo Shiyin still introduced Shi Lang to Shen Weijing as the official leader of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households.

"Thank you for your concern." Shen Weijing first thanked Luo Shiyin, and then turned to Shi Lang, who was sitting opposite him, and arched his hand.

Shi Lang didn't speak, but just bowed to Shen Wei in return.

"Is there anything else Lord Shen needs me to do with you?" Seeing that what should be said had been said, Luo Shiyin issued an eviction order.

"Ouch, the words of the commander have tormented me. I only bow down to the commander and obey the command, how dare I have you, Lord Lao. The commander keeps the adults busy with official business, and the subordinates no longer bother. Retire here. Shen Weijing hurriedly stood up from the chair and said to Luo Shiyin in fear.

"Shi Lang, you send Master Shen off." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang.

"No, no. I'll just walk on my own. Shen Wei said politely.

"Lord Shen, please walk slowly." Shi Lang stood up and sent Shen Weijing outside the door.

"My lord, when my subordinates enter the king's capital with the envoys, will there be any opinions from Lord Fang?" Shi Lang, who returned to the camp, opened his mouth to express his concerns to Luo Shiyin.

It stands to reason that he is the best candidate, but now that Wangjingcheng is occupied by the Japanese people, as Jinyiwei knows about North Korea, he still has to lead Jinyiwei in Wangjingcheng to fight with the enemy, so it is inconvenient to show his face.

"This time, I have arranged for you to go to Wang Jing with the envoys, and I believe that he can understand my good intentions. So, don't have any worries, just go to Beijing. As soon as you arrive in Wangjing, get in touch with Fang Shan, and let him cooperate with your actions. If there is any important information, send it to me through him immediately. ”

"Yes. My lord. That ...... to this Lord Shen"

"It is unrealistic to expect him to perform brilliantly on such an important occasion. As long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary to lose his power and humiliate the country, don't interfere with his actions and let him make trouble. Just keep an eye on him. ”

"My subordinates understand."

"When the time comes, I will ask Xie Yuan to go with you. He was responsible for the translation of the peace conference. The Holy One must control all the details and contents of the negotiations between the enemy and us in the course of this peace meeting. ”

"The subordinates understand. If there is nothing else, the subordinates will go and prepare. Lord Shen, they will leave soon. ”

"Good. Go ahead. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Lang and Xie Yuan set off from the Ming army camp with Shen Weijing and his entourage and set off for Wangjing.

At midnight, the delegation arrived at the Bihu Pavilion, which was located fifteen miles north of Wangjing City. Bihoikan is a poorly equipped post station located on a small hill, and it is the last post station to travel from Kaesong to Wangjing.

"Your Excellency. We're not here for a night's rest. An accompanying official asked Shen Weijing, who was riding on a horse.

"How far is this place from Wangjing City?" Shen Weijing asked.

"There's still about fifteen kilometers to go." The North Korean civilian official, who had been arranged by the North Korean side to lead the way, replied.

"Lord Shi. You see...... "With Jinyiwei accompanying him, Shen Weijing no longer dares to act so casually as before." Along the way, he showed great respect to Shi Lang and Xie Yuan.

"After a day's journey, Lord Shen must be tired. Then rest for the night. Let's try to rush to Wangjing tomorrow. Shi Lang said.

"Let's go into the inn and rest." Shen Weijing pointed to the Blue Hoof Pavilion in front of him and shouted.

"The accompanying guards, ten people and one post, each team for one hour, take turns to stand guard and be responsible for guards." Shi Lang ordered to the accompanying guards.

Although the post house is a little simple, there is no problem in sheltering from the cold wind at night, and what is commendable is that the facilities in the post house are basically not damaged in the war, and the rest room, stables and other facilities are readily available.

Shen Weijing and the other accompanying envoys rested in a lounge. Shi Lang and Xie Yuan lived in the lounge next door.

The fatigue of the journey caused Xie Yuan to fall asleep on the wooden bed as soon as he entered the lounge.

Shi Lang didn't dare to sleep, he quietly closed the door and came to the outside of the post house to check the situation of the sentry station.

At night, the Blue Hoof Pavilion is lonely in the mountains. The cool night breeze blew from the direction of Wangjing City, blowing the thick black locust tree in front of the Bihu Pavilion to shake the branches, adding some vitality to the lonely building built on the top of the mountain. Looking up, the night sky was filled with dense stars. A meteor dragged its long tail across the northwest night sky and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Seeing Shi Lang coming, the guards in charge of standing guard greeted him one after another. Shi Lang instructed them to pay close attention to the wind and grass around the post house, and report to him as soon as they found anything abnormal.

After checking the post, Shi Lang returned to the post house.

In the stables located in the southeast corner of the inn, several horses were competing for the hay in the manger and kept snorting.

Shi Lang was a little tired, he returned to the room, leaned on Xie Yuan, and slept in his clothes.

Just after the end of the day, Shi Lang, who was sleepy, was suddenly woken up by a loud shout of killing from outside the post house, he was excited, jumped up from the bed, grabbed the embroidered spring knife hanging on the wall next to the bed and rushed out of the door.
