In the third year of Jiaqing, in the second half of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Guangzhou Mansion has already entered the scorching summer, and when it is close to noon, there are few pedestrians on the street, whether it is the powerful and rich, or ordinary people, most of them hide at home, and do not want to be exposed to the scorching sun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Guangzhou City at this time, how can it be a hot word? The city is baked by high temperatures, like a boiler, and if you take out an iron pot and put it on the ground, you can make an omelette without any firewood.

With the arrival of the opportunity, this undercurrent will be placed in front of people, completely erupt, detonate the entire Guangzhou Prefecture, and even Guangdong Province, and cause chaos in the entire land of China, ushering in a great change in heaven and earth, and the change of dynasties.

On this day, in the tooth line, Yang Lin and Shang Wei'er sat in the hall of the back office, taking advantage of the cold, enjoying the freshness brought by the fan invented by Yang Lin, and the gusts of breeze filled the hall, blowing the two people below so uncomfortable, especially eating cold watermelon, it was really cold, in this summer, is there anything more comfortable than this?

"Hey, Wei'er, I remember that your tribute from the Ryukyu Kingdom is once every two years, so far, why haven't you seen your tribute mission arrive? In the past, according to the practice of previous years, wasn't it already here? ”

"Brother Yang, I don't know, logically speaking, yes, it should be time."

Speaking of this, it seemed that she had thought of something, Shang Wei'er's expression suddenly darkened, and it became very difficult to look at, seeing this situation, Yang Lin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Wei'er, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Hearing this, Shang Wei'er looked embarrassed and hesitated, and finally gritted her silver teeth and said in a deep voice without answering a rhetorical question: "Brother Yang, do you know why I came here?" ”

frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful look, secretly guessing, in the end, Yang Lin couldn't guess the reason, so he could only shake his head in confusion, and said suspiciously: "I don't know, but I have never understood that no matter which vassal country came to pay tribute, I have never seen the princess accompanying me, and you are the first one I have seen." ”

"Brother Yang, don't you know, if it were a normal time, under normal circumstances, there would indeed be no princess accompanying the tribute mission, and the reason why I appeared in the mission is because there has been an accident in our Ryukyu Kingdom, and something has happened that is beyond people's control."

Yang Lin's heart froze, a bad feeling arose, and he suddenly thought of an event, but he couldn't be sure, Shang Weier's next words just confirmed what Yang Lin thought in his heart, memories of history.

"Just before I came, our Ryukyus were already under Japanese control. Fearing the strength of the Qing court and the might of the Manchu army, Japan has not dared to annex us openly, but has only secretly controlled us by force, forcing us to pay tribute to them in the Ryukyus. Shang Weier's expression was very indignant.

"In that case, why did your country pay tribute to the Qing court? In other words, in the face of Japan's armed suppression and invasion, why didn't you ask for help from the Qing court, the suzerain? Yang Lin just understood, and asked suspiciously.

As if there were a thousand helplessness, all kinds of emotion, Shang Weier said faintly: "No way, my imperial brother was held hostage in Tokyo, and the Japanese army was stationed in the Ryukyus mainland, all of which made my father dare not ask for help from the suzerain, so he could only swallow his anger and be eroded by the Japanese little by little. ”

"And the reason why I came here and hid in the embassy was really helpless, my father didn't want me to suffer and become a victim of politics."

Hiding in desperation, Yang Lin was very sensitive to these six words, and immediately realized something, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and when he was about to ask, Shang Weier's voice sounded again.

"Those Japanese people want to completely control the Ryukyus, not only forcing the royal brother to marry a Japanese woman as a wife, as a princess, but also want me to marry into Japan, as their crown prince's concubine, so that the royal blood of the Ryukyu Kingdom is all mixed with the blood of the Japanese, so as to dilute our national consciousness and completely surrender to them."

As a former 21st century indignant youth, I still know a lot about some humiliating history in modern times, especially about the historical facts of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Yang Lin remembered that before 1840, Japan had actually controlled the Ryukyu Kingdom, but it was only a secret due to the power of the Qing Dynasty.

Weak countries have no diplomacy, nothing more. What's more, because the Ryukyu Kingdom at that time was completely subservient to the Qing court, in order to show loyalty and sincerity, there was basically no army to speak of, and there was no choice but to be slaughtered by others for the Japanese invasion and invasion.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin clenched his fists, and a trace of essence burst out of his eyes, it was a kind of determination, in the future, he would definitely conquer that country of projectiles!

looked at Shang Weier, who was filled with tears in the corners of her eyes, and felt love and pity. What's more, this princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom is already her own woman, and she gives her most precious things to herself, how can he, Yang Lin, sit idly by?

However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, Yang Lin must be patient and wait for an opportunity, all he can do now is to take Shang Weier into his arms, comfort her with a strong chest, and give her a sense of security, and Yang Lin did that.

Suddenly, the hall was quiet, only the whirring sound of the fan, the sound of the air, Shang Weier snuggled in Yang Lin's arms, as if sad, and worried, her face exuded a strong sense of homesickness and nostalgia.

However, it didn't take long for a rush of footsteps to sound outside, and soon a figure appeared in the hall, it was the master Liu Boqi, sweating profusely, with a nervous face, just ran into the hall, and before he could stand, he quickly said while wiping the sweat on his forehead: "Lord Yang, it's not good, there is a large group of government soldiers outside, it's almost here~"

The moment they heard the footsteps, Yang Lin and Shang Wei'er immediately separated and sat there. Yang Lin's expression was normal, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but Shang Weier was not so calm, she sat up straight in a panic, a trace of embarrassment flashed, her cheeks were slightly red, and then she returned to normal.

Hearing Master Liu's words, looking at his panting performance, especially the nervous look on his face, it was more like he was at a loss. Although he was not interested in Master Liu, Yang Lin still rarely saw him like this, and couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked suspiciously: "Master Liu, what's wrong?" What's going on? Which yamen's official was the one who broke in? ”

Master Liu was still panting and sweating, and he was a little weak for Yang Lin's question, and stammered: "The big one, the little one doesn't know, just now, the little one was dealing with some official documents, and suddenly heard a riot in the courtyard of the front office, and as soon as I got out of the house, I saw a group of government officials rushing in, and they were temporarily blocked by our people." Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurried to the back office and reported it to you. ”

As the body stopped, Master Liu's words became clearer and smoother, Yang Lin heard clearly and understood, knowing that someone was unscrupulously breaking into the tooth shop, although he realized that the situation was not good, but Yang Lin was still calm and calm, without the slightest panic, just frowned slightly, fleeting, and stretched out again.

Whether it is getting along for nearly three years, or looking at the face of Zhai Dakun and Qu Kun, there is not the slightest doubt about Master Liu's words and intentions. At this moment, Yang Lin did not go out immediately in a hurry to see what was going on, but still sat there and thought about it.

In a moment, Yang Lin couldn't think about it, there were bursts of footsteps outside, it was very noisy, getting closer and closer, Yang Lin couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, and stood up, just about to ask, a proud faint voice came.

"Yang Lin, don't come to harm, the road is narrow, I see that you are in a catastrophe this time, how can you fight me?" (To be continued.) )
