Chapter 375: Ransom

"Oh, that's right."

Iwasaki Yuka lowered her head and wrung her fingers, she felt Lin Yiqing's gaze fall on her, staring at her, as if to see through her heart.

"Then why did Iwasaki-sama want me to release him?" Lin Yiqing asked again, "You also know that the purpose of the Qin Wangjun has always been to treat prisoners preferentially, and all the captured officers have been treated well, and there is no danger to their lives, nor has they been subjected to any ill-treatment, which can be proved by foreign journalists who have visited the prisoner of war camp." And after he returns home, he is likely to be forced by the traitors who control the government to rejoin the army and become an enemy of King Qin's army. What should I do if we meet again on the battlefield? ”

"I promise, he won......'t," Iwasaki replied with emotion, her answer seemed weak, and she wouldn't believe such a promise herself.

"Miss Iwasaki, I wonder if your father sent you a letter asking you to save him?" Lin Yiqing seemed to have guessed something, and asked with a smile.

Iwasaki's body trembled like an electric shock, and she instinctively wanted to argue, but she couldn't say a word, so she could only hang her head lower.

Lin Yiqing noticed her embarrassment, saw her trembling, and couldn't bear to scare her anymore, so he pulled the bell, and a guard warrior walked in quickly.

"What does the general command?" The samurai asked.

Lin Yiqingqing took a piece of paper and wrote on it with a quill pen, and after writing, he took his private seal and stamped it, and signed his name on the side.

"Take my warrant and take a few people to the prisoner of war camp where the enemy's naval officers and men are held, and bring this man named 'Eiya Iwasaki' here." Lin Yiqing ordered.

"Hello!" The samurai took the warrant and saluted and left. Iwasaki Yuka watched the back of the samurai leaving. Tears began to roll in his eyes.

"Miss Iwasaki. I can release him, but according to the public law of the nations, I need him to sign a pledge that he will never take part in the military campaign against the Qin Wangshi. Lin Yiqing looked at Youjia Iwasaki, felt pity in his heart, and said with a pleasant face, "For the officers and soldiers who have signed the guarantee, we will pay the travel fee to let them return home safely." That's what we've always done. So you don't have to worry. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency General...... Iwasaki Yujia felt the tenderness in Lin Yiqing's gaze looking at her, she knew that Lin Yiqing gave her what she wanted, and now, it was time for her to give him something back.

"Your Excellency, can you ...... Come with me there? Iwasaki Yujia stood up and gently pointed to the door of the lounge behind Lin Yiqing with his hand, "I have ...... Very important thing to give you ......"

Lin Yiqing looked at her a little strangely for a while, while Iwasaki Yujia avoided his gaze. Slowly walk towards the door of the lounge.

Lin Yiqing behind her frowned, years of fighting instinct had made him develop the habit of staying alert anytime and anywhere. However, he took a look at Iwasaki's weak back and made sure that she didn't pose a threat to him, and followed her into the lounge.

Iwasaki Yujia heard Lin Yiqing close the door casually, and somehow his heart suddenly calmed down.

"Alright, now it's just the two of us here, Miss Iwasaki has something important to take out." Lin Yiqing said behind her.

Iwasaki Yujia slowly turned around, looked at Lin Yiqing, and gently unbuttoned his chest. Lin Yiqing saw her movements and immediately understood.

Lin Yiqing knew that she was dedicating herself to saving her cousin, and she was very unbearable, but seeing her jerky movements, he was pranky again, so he didn't speak, but looked at her quietly.

It may be that there are too many buttons and straps in the dress, but Iwasaki Yuka easily took off her coat, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing from her forehead.

Lin Yiqing saw her wearing a white silk openwork undershirt, and for a while there was a feeling of time and space disorder.

Iwasaki Youjia could feel Lin Yiqing's surprised gaze, and in addition to the shyness in his heart, there was also a hint of pride.

Since she bought this "Lin's underwear", she has worn it more than once and lingered in front of the mirror.

She had never imagined that she would look so beautiful after wearing this embarrassing dress.

Lin Yiqing saw the underwear worn by Youjia Iwasaki, which combines the advantages of a traditional belly pocket and a modern bra, and while he was amazed, he couldn't help but sigh at Lin Yizhe's creativity.

Unexpectedly, this psychological counselor who traveled from later generations turned out to be a very tasteful underwear designer!

He already recognized that Iwasaki Yujia was wearing a new type of underwear produced by the famous "Lin Company" in this era! It is said that the first piece of the latest underwear designed by this company is to be given to the famous Queen Victoria!

Lin Yiqing knows that if someone asks which part of a woman's body to pay attention to at first glance, many people will say that it is the face, the chest, the buttocks, and the legs, but few people pay attention to the woman's neck, shoulders, and back at the beginning. In fact, these are the parts that cannot be ignored. It is often said that some women are attractive, but at first glance they are nothing, and the more they look, the more beautiful they become; Some women are impatient, stunning at first sight, and tired of watching it for a long time. The neck, shoulders, and back are the kind of attractive parts, which are neither eye-catching nor alarming, and belong to the role of "connotation **" in terms of sexiness: subtle, quiet, and rich aftertaste. The traditional belly pocket decorates these attractive parts with a unique style, a thin thread holds the neck, two ribbons tie the thin waist, and a small belly pocket, allowing young girls to show their beautiful youth, especially the white neck, shoulders, and back make people envious. The style of the belly pocket makes people feel that the aftertaste is long, such a simple thing, all at once, the feminine feminine, sexy and other characteristics are displayed in a suitable way, with a unique flavor, showing the elegance and mystery of oriental women.

Although the belly pocket is beautiful, the shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, it cannot play the role of supporting the chest, and the protective role of maintaining the curve is not obvious. And this "Lin's underwear" combines a modern bra with an ancient traditional belly pocket, which can be said to be unique.

And the Iwasaki Youjia in front of him not only looks extremely beautiful, but also has a very slim figure, wearing this dress. It can be said that her beauty is completely revealed.

If someone else is here. See her like this. There was no one who didn't want to come forward and hug her.

But in front of her was Lin Yiqing.

After admiring her wonderful figure for a while, Lin Yiqing retracted her gaze, fixed her mind, and asked Iwasaki Yujia with a smile: "Is this the important thing that Miss Iwasaki wants to show me?" ”

Iwasaki Yujia made Lin Yiqing's question suffocated, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"If not, Iwasaki-sama wants to recommend a pillow to me?" Lin Yiqing couldn't bear to make her feel too embarrassed, and stepped forward with a smile. Standing very close in front of her, he asked softly.

As he spoke, he deliberately placed his lips close to her forehead to make her feel his breath.

"I ...... I want to repay you......" Iwasaki Yuka hung her head, bit her lip, and whispered a little flustered.

Lin Yiqing gently put her hands on her shoulders, she felt those slightly rough hands touching her skin, and her heart was immediately filled with fear.

She closed her eyes and stood there motionless, like a lamb to the slaughter.

But the hands weren't as she thought they were. Undo her shoulder straps and take off her beautiful garment.

The hands slowly went up. Gently stroked her neck and held her face.

"You don't have to." The handsome face looked at her, and said sincerely like a brother.

"If you want something, you have to pay for it." Iwasaki Yuka looked at him, and suddenly there was no fear from the bottom of his heart.

"But I don't like to force people." Lin Yiqing smiled slightly and gently withdrew her hand from her face.

Somehow, when his hand left her, she felt a sense of loss that she had never felt before.

"You didn't force me, I did it voluntarily." She said.

"No, you say it's voluntary, but in your heart, it's reluctant." Lin Yiqing shook his head, "Now you just want to use your body as a commodity to exchange with me, but I don't want to make such an exchange." ”

"I'm stupid, am I?" Iwasaki Yuka held back her tears and said softly, "You all look down on me, I will always be a dispensable woman in the eyes of you men......"

"Please don't say anything like that, Ms. Iwasaki." Lin Yiqing stepped forward and grabbed her hands, "You are an amazing good girl, what you do, put it on others, they will never have such courage." I respect you and cherish you, so I didn't treat you the way you wanted, please understand my painstaking efforts. ”

Lin Yiqing's words were like a ray of sunshine shining into the darkest depths of her heart, she looked at him fixedly, and tears flowed down instantly.

"You are beautiful, kind, strong, brave, and dare to sacrifice everything for the sake of your loved ones, and the best qualities of a Japanese woman are reflected in you." Lin Yiqing said word by word, "You have to cherish all this about yourself, Miss Iwasaki, I like you very, very much, and I want to be with you, but I don't want to watch you hand over yourself like this, and then sink into the darkness forever, do you understand?" ”

Iwasaki Yujia hugged Lin Yiqing violently, buried his face in his arms, and cried loudly.

Her resentment and sorrow for many days were all vented at Lin Yiqing at this moment.

It was easy to wait for her to cry enough, Lin Yiqing leaned down, picked up the clothes she threw on the ground, draped them on her body, and helped her put them on.

"Wipe your tears and calm down, your cousin is coming in a moment, and you'd better not let him see the way you cried." Lin Yiqing took the handkerchief and handed it to Iwasaki Youjia.

"Thank you......" Yuka Iwasaki took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

Lin Yiqing took her out of the lounge, came to the desk and sat down again, in order to help her adjust her mood as soon as possible, Lin Yiqing chatted with her about family life, and asked her about the situation at home by the way, and Iwasaki Yujia answered them one by one. Lin Yiqing then knew that although Iwasaki Yuka was the youngest daughter of Yataro Iwasaki, she was a concubine - her mother was a geisha named Maiko in Osaka Castle, because her status in the family was not high, and the reason why her father gave her a good education and cultivated her talents was actually to use her as a tool for family marriage.

The two chatted for a while, and Iwasaki's mood gradually brightened. She only found out now that Lin Yiqing in front of her was really like Sanae said. A very nice person.

"General. Second Lieutenant Iwasaki I brought. The voice of the samurai guard came from the door.

"Come in." Lin Yiqing said.

The door opened. Two guards walked in with a young government naval officer.

The young man in front of him looked haggard and staggered as he walked, and although he didn't seem to be injured, he seemed to have gone through a lot of hardships.

"Are you Second Lieutenant Eiya Iwasaki?" Lin Yiqing asked.

"Yes." Iwasaki Hideya faced Lin Yiqing's inquiry, and seemed to want to show some unyielding spirit, but when he saw Lin Yiqing's majestic gaze, he was depressed and couldn't help but lower his head.

"Miss Iwasaki. Look, is this person in front of you your cousin? Lin Yiqing turned to Iwasaki Yujia and asked.

"Yes." Iwasaki Yuka had already recognized Iwasaki Eiya, and she forcibly suppressed the surprise in her heart and nodded.

Lin Yiqing was about to tell Iwasaki Eiya about preparing to release him, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Iwasaki Eiya's words.

"You Jia, why are you here?" Iwasaki Eiya looked at his cousin in front of him and asked with a gloomy face.

"I ......" Facing her cousin's sudden questioning, Iwasaki Yujia didn't know how to answer for a while, she instinctively turned her head to look at Lin Yiqing.

I saw my cousin's gaze looking at Lin Yiqing. There was a hint of disdain in Iwasaki's eyes.

"Youjia, you shouldn't be here. Your father will not be happy when he finds out. ”

The cousin's words pierced his heart like a poisonous arrow, and Iwasaki's face suddenly turned pale.

"It seems that the men of the Iwasaki family don't know how to respect women." Lin Yiqing certainly understood what Iwasaki Hideya's words meant, and couldn't help but sneer.

Iwasaki Hideya wanted to fight back, but as soon as his gaze met Lin Yiqing's eyes, he immediately shrank back, and what he wanted to say couldn't be spoken.

"Iwasaki-san, I would like to know how much ransom your father, Mr. Yataro Iwasaki, would pay for him if I let him go?" Lin Yiqing looked at Iwasaki Eiya coldly and asked Iwasaki Yujia.

"Ransom? ......" Iwasaki Yuka didn't react for a while, and was stunned.

"Since Mr. Yataro Iwasaki didn't make a bid, then I'll make a price!" Lin Yiqing looked at Iwasaki Hideya and said with a sneer, "I think that one hundred thousand silver dollars should be more appropriate, although Ensign Iwasaki is worthless in my eyes." ”

Hearing Lin Yiqing say that he was worthless, Iwasaki Hideya was furious, but he didn't dare to say anything, just glanced at Iwasaki Youjia with resentment.

Lin Yiqing noticed Iwasaki Hideya's gaze, and he wanted to teach this unknown second lieutenant a lesson, so he got up from his chair and walked in front of Iwasaki Hideya.

"Ms. Iwasaki told Mr. Yataro the price, and Mr. Yataro will pay the full amount." Lin Yiqing said to Iwasaki Yujia, "Miss Iwasaki also has to tell Mr. Yataro that the ransom must be paid as soon as possible within ten days, and if the deadline is exceeded, then Second Lieutenant Iwasaki will not be alive." ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's words, Iwasaki Hideya couldn't help but change his complexion.

"In order to convince Mr. Yataro that I am doing what I say, I will take something from Ensign Iwasaki and entrust Miss Iwasaki to give it to Mr. Yataro so that Mr. Yataro can pay the ransom as soon as possible." Lin Yiqing said and nodded to the two samurai, who immediately stepped forward, twisted Iwasaki Eiya's shoulder, and kicked him in the knee again, forcing him to kneel.

Lin Yiqing looked at Iwasaki Eiya like a pig waiting to be slaughtered for a moment, and then he noticed a black mole on Iwasaki's right ear.

"Mr. Yataro takes such a fancy to Ensign Iwasaki, he should know about Ensign Iwasaki's physical characteristics, right?" Lin Yiqing smiled and said, "Then I'll cut off Second Lieutenant Iwasaki's right ear and give it to Mr. Yataro!" ”

Lin Yiqing said, reaching out and pulling out a snowy short knife from the waist of a warrior.

"Don't! - Iwasaki Yuka was startled and hissed.

Lin Yiqing turned a deaf ear to her screams, he sneered and leaned over, and gently patted Hideya Iwasaki's face with the blade.

"Nope! …… Help me! Help...... Iwasaki Eiya was so frightened that he grunted in his throat, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

Iwasaki Yujia thought that Lin Yiqing really wanted to cut off his cousin's ear, so he desperately pounced and wanted to snatch the knife from Lin Yiqing's hand, but Lin Yiqing easily grabbed it with one hand.

"I'm scared to faint, what a weak fellow!" Lin Yiqing smiled and squeezed his eyes at Iwasaki Yujia, and inserted the short knife back into the samurai's waist sheath.

Only then did Iwasaki Yujia understand that Lin Yiqing was deliberately scaring Iwasaki Eiya just now in order to give himself a breath, and he couldn't help but feel grateful and funny in his heart.

"Put him in a cell alone, and give him only one meal a day. Until the ransom is paid, then let him out. Lin Yiqing ordered.

The two samurai laughed and took the order, and dragged the fainted Iwasaki Eiya out like a dead dog, and only Lin Yiqing and Iwasaki Yujia were left in the office.

"Miss Iwasaki, don't worry, I won't hurt him, as soon as the ransom comes, I will release him immediately." Lin Yiqing said to Iwasaki Yujia, "Regarding the ransom, please also ask Miss Iwasaki to inform Mr. Yataro as soon as possible." ”

"Okay." Iwasaki Yuka was full of disgust for this cousin who she had almost given everything to save at this time, and when she heard Lin Yiqing say that she wanted her to inform her father of the amount of the ransom as soon as possible, there was a faint sense of revenge in her heart.
