In the city of Wangjing. Toyi Hall.

Ichiro Sugitani, the president of the Koga Concentric Association, is arranging the next task for his three subordinates for this peace with the Ming Dynasty.

"A few days ago, we have successfully controlled the Ming Dynasty and Shen Weijing. Now, the peace envoy group led by him has arrived in Wangjing. In the next step, on the basis of consolidating the existing results, we must closely monitor the every move of the Ming envoys. Especially this Shen Weijing, we must control any action he takes in Wang Jingcheng. This is still the responsibility of Michiko. Ichiro Sugitani said to Michiko Kato, who was standing between Yoshino and Mieko Kato.

"Yes, President." Michiko Kato held up her chest and promised.

"With regard to this peace, we can now tell you about the conditions we have proposed. so that it may guide your actions. There are four conditions for the peace proposed by Lord Taiko (Toyotomi Hideyoshi): first, the Ming Dynasty must marry a princess to the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom as a concubine; Second, the Ming State opened the market to trade with the Japanese State; Third, Korea ceded the four southern provinces to the Japanese state; Fourth, Korea sent a prince and a minister to the Wa Kingdom as hostages. Sugitani Ichiro took out the secret letter from his cuff and looked at it a few times, then said to the three subordinates.

"President, is it a little wrong for us to put such an important task on a small guerrilla general? Should I look for someone else? After listening to Ichiro Sugitani's four conditions for negotiating peace, Michiko Kato's face was solemn.

The reason why Michiko Kato raised such a question is actually because of her own considerations. It is undeniable that after some time of contact with Shen Weijing some time ago, deep down in her heart, she has begun to like this middle-aged man who looks like her late father.

After hearing Ichiro Sugitani's peace conditions, Michiko Kato instantly became worried about Shen Weijing. Ordinary people can see that these four conditions are undoubtedly an unstable clause for the Ming Dynasty to lose power and humiliate the country.

Think about it, how could a small guerrilla general persuade the arrogant Ming Emperor to agree to the unequal treaty proposed by the Japanese people? Once Shen Weijing can't meet the requirements of the Japanese people, how can the Japanese people let him go?

Michiko Kato didn't want any accidents to happen to Shen Weijing, she was doing her best to try to free Shen Weijing from the predicament she was about to face.

What Michiko Kato thought in his heart was naturally difficult to escape the spicy old Sugitani Ichiro, and after listening to Michiko Kato's words, he stared at Michiko Kato's eyes motionlessly with a cold gaze.

"President...... Did I say that...... Isn't that right? Michiko Kato was a little flustered by Ichiro Sugitani's gaze that almost saw through herself.

"Michiko, I have to remind you that as we Koga ninjas, you can't touch your true feelings at any time, because this thing will hurt you. Remember, in order for us ninjas to complete our mission, we ninjas must put our emotions aside and not be swayed by them. Ichiro Sugitani said as he stared at Michiko Kato.

"Yes, President. I take your teachings to heart. Michiko Kato replied.

Ichiro Sugitani walked up to Michiko Kato, gently patted Michiko Kato's shoulder, and said, "However, your question just now is not unreasonable. At first glance, it seems a bit inappropriate for us to bet all our bets on a guerrilla general.

"However, don't forget, this guerrilla general of his was won for him by the dignified Ming Military Department, which means that Shen Weijing is a small person, but there is a big man standing behind him.

"As long as we firmly control Shen Weijing, a seemingly inconspicuous little person, we will affect him through him

The big guy after that. Don't forget, this big man is a pivotal role in the Ming court.

"According to our information, this big man has tried his best to persuade the Ming Emperor to negotiate peace with us, which is enough to show that he has great energy.

"There are different opinions within the Ming court about peace, which should be beneficial to us. If you think about it, this big man is in favor of peace, and his opponents will definitely hope that the peace talks will end in failure.

In this way, this big man is desperate to negotiate this peace, otherwise, he may lose everything.

"Therefore, the above-mentioned seemingly harsh four peace conditions put forward by Lord Taige perfectly reflect Lord Taiko's far-sighted strategic thinking and keen observation."

"President, I see. I will definitely follow your instructions and firmly control Shen Weijing and let him serve us. Michiko Kato said.

"President, what are we supposed to do?" Yoshino asked.

"Mieko is specifically responsible for accompanying our representatives to participate in the peace with the Ming Dynasty. Lord Taiko should have a comprehensive understanding and control of the entire process of this peace negotiation. Remember, don't let go of any details about the peace talks, including: the specific content of the peace talks between the two sides, what all the participants on both sides said and did, and so on. Report back to me immediately after each peace meeting. ”

"Yes. President. Keiko understood. ”

"At the time of the talks, we can treat these Ming envoys and envoys at the right time, and kill their prestige. However, Mieko, you must grasp the timing and heat to do this, and don't mess around. ”

"Yes. Keiko understood. ”

"As for Yoshino, you are fully responsible for the monitoring of this peace conference, specifically, to comprehensively monitor the every move of all the people who came to Beijing this time, especially the movements of the accompanying Ming brocade guard."

"Yes. Yoshino understood. ”

"Good. Let's do it. ”

After the Ming Dynasty and the envoys arrived in Wangjing, they were arranged to live in the Nanbetsu Palace.

After settling down in his accommodation, Shi Lang immediately arranged the dozens of guards accompanying him one by one in important positions in the Nanbetsu Palace, and ordered them to stand guard around the clock without the slightest slackness.

Subsequently, Shi Lang got in touch with Fang Handle in Wang Jingcheng through Jinyiwei's unique contact channel, and the two negotiated a way to transmit information to each other in the shortest possible time.

That night, Michiko Kato sent Shen Weijing the antidote as scheduled and informed him of the four conditions proposed by the Japanese side.

Shen Weijing was stunned when he heard the peace conditions negotiated by the Japanese state. In Shen Weijing's view, for his current status, meeting these four conditions is something that cannot be done at all.

"If you want me to see, you still have to kill me." After being surprised, Shen Weijing simply broke the jar and played a scoundrel.

"Don't be discouraged. Don't forget, there's a huge backer behind you. Just put your ingenuity to good use and you will definitely do it. Michiko Kato sat next to Shen Weijing and comforted and encouraged.

"But your conditions are too harsh, what is this peace? It's clearly blackmail! ”

"Is it peace? Is it blackmail? Why do you care so much? As long as you try to do what we ask you to do, you will definitely have a good result.

"Besides, there will always be a process of peacemaking. You don't want to do it overnight. Of course, we will not force others to ask you to agree to our terms all at once.

"We are well aware of your position and situation. Don't be in a hurry, take it one step at a time and you will always succeed. Michiko Kato put her arm around Shen Weijing's shoulders and continued to cheer him on.

"Alas! If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place! Shen Weijing sighed and collapsed on the bed.

"Okay, tomorrow there will be peace talks. Rest early. I'm sure you'll be able to cope with the difficulties ahead. Michiko Kato leaned down and kissed Shen Weijing lightly on the face.

"Don't go, I've missed you somewhere." Shen Weijing hugged Michiko Kato.

"No, this is in Wangjing City. It's full of you and our people inside and out. Once discovered, you and I can't explain it. Michiko Kato broke free from Shen Weijing's embrace and tidied up the clothes that were messed up by Shen Weijing.

"But people miss you." Shen Weijing sat up and said sensibly.

"Be obedient, I'll come to you when I get the chance." Michiko Kato touched Shen Weijing's deliberately aggrieved face, stood up, and walked to the window.

"Stay safe." Shen Weijing knew that Shi Lang had already arranged a sentry in the courtyard, and he was afraid that Michiko Kato's visit would be discovered by Shi Lang.

"Don't worry." Michiko Kato turned around and smiled at Shen Weijing, and disappeared into the night outside the window in an instant.

Although Michiko Kato opened the window and flashed out with extremely subtle movements, it still alarmed Shi Lang, who lived next door to Shen Weijing. Hearing the movement, Shi Lang blew out the candle at great speed, opened the window, and jumped onto the roof.

Shi Lang found that a dexterous figure was jumping on the southernmost roof of Nanbetsu Palace in the dark night. Obviously, judging from the distance of the other party's fierce line, the black shadow should have started from where it was.

Shi Lang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately raised his body and chased towards the black shadow.

After about ten minutes of chasing, Shi Lang found that the other party had jumped into a courtyard and disappeared.

Shi Lang hid behind the ridge of the roof and looked down.

The silence in the courtyard where the black shadow disappeared was incomparable. Shi Lang faintly felt that behind this silence, there seemed to be an indescribable murderous intent. Every flower, tree, and corner ornament in the courtyard all give people a strange and strange feeling.

Shi Lang didn't dare to rush into the courtyard.

At this moment, the moon, which had just been obscured by thick clouds, suddenly emerged from behind the clouds. A faint moonlight shone on the courtyard below.

With the help of the moonlight, Shi Lang finally discovered that the so-called flowers and ornaments in the courtyard were actually Japanese ninjas who shrunk and hid in the courtyard.

Shi Lang heard Ye Ruliu introduce that the Japanese ninjas have a stealth technique called quail contraction, and the Japanese ninjas who use this stealth technique will shrink their bodies into a ball like quails, hold their breath, and hide under the cover.

"Fortunately, I didn't rush in." Seeing the scene in the courtyard, Shi Lang couldn't help but gasp, he looked around, and suddenly found that the words "Dongyi Pavilion" were written on the gate of the courtyard.

Shi Lang immediately understood the identity of the black shadow.

"Dongyi Pavilion" is the lair of the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom in Wangjing City, which Shi Lang knows.

"It seems that the black shadow is a Japanese ninja. Since the black shadow returned directly to his lair, it means that the black shadow should not have noticed that he was following him. Tonight's incident shows that the ninjas of the Japanese Kingdom in the city have set their sights on the Ming Dynasty and the envoys. You should be careful. Thinking of this, Shi Lang immediately raised his body and returned in the direction of Nanbie Palace.
