408 Assassination targets

"Widows?"

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Shen Cha and Jin Jing's faces instantly turned pale, and their eyes stared directly at the shopkeeper, with a strong sense of oppression, the shopkeeper almost knelt down for them.

"Back to the general, that's what the guards sent back by Childe said."

The shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cautiously looked at the faces of the two people, he could understand why they heard the "Japanese people" react this way, the sea realm of Great Xia has been infested by the Japanese people all year round, even if the sailors of Great Xia are extremely strong and have never let the Japanese people succeed, but there is always such a disaster on his own border, which is also very annoying. Moreover, the Japanese are barbaric, burning, killing and plundering everywhere they go, and they do everything they can. Not only did Great Xia have a strong hatred for them, but even the Liao and Jin, who were far away in the north, were also very disgusted with the Japanese people, and longed for them to disappear from this world immediately.

"General, military advisor, the little one has something unclear, please ask the two to solve your doubts." Waiting for Shen Cha and Jin Jing to sit down, under their instructions, they also moved a small bench to sit next to them, "This Japanese people live on an island outside the southern part of Great Xia all the year round, and we here, it can be said that they live in the north and south of the world. They...... Why did you suddenly come here to move? Either way, it's not very suitable for them to survive. ”

"Your doubts are exactly what I am confused about." Shen Cha and Jin Jing glanced at each other and nodded slightly, "We also think it's strange about this. According to common sense, what they have been thinking about for a long time has been how to occupy Great Xia, in their opinion, Great Xia is a vast land, the life of the people is very rich, and the most important thing is that there are not so many natural disasters, they can live in peace and stability, and they don't have to worry about it all day long, worrying that they will be taken back by God in their sleep. ”

"General, is this what they said?"

"Hmm!" Shen Cha sighed, "Two years ago in Xijing, I had the opportunity to see the confessions of the captured Japanese people, and almost all of them had the same idea. The confession also mentioned that the reason why they didn't care about Liao and Jin was because they felt that people from other countries except for Great Xia were living as miserable as them. ”

"This ...... This ......" the shopkeeper couldn't laugh or cry, "our life is much better than theirs, where is like them, even such a simple thing as food and clothing can't be done!" ”

"The words of the frog at the bottom of the well don't have to be taken to heart. It's just ......" Jin Jing waved her hand, touched her chin, and groaned, "It's only been less than two years now, and there are traces of Japanese people in the northern hinterland, it's really incredible." Could it be that they changed their minds? ”

"It's not incomprehensible." Shen Cha stretched out three fingers, "What I can think of now, there are three possibilities." ”

"Three?" Jin Jing and the shopkeeper looked at each other, "Tell me, which three?" ”

"The first possibility is that the Japanese found that they did not have the ability to capture Great Xia and felt that this goal was out of reach, so they changed their purpose and turned the target of the attack to Liao and Jin. The discovered Japanese people are the eyeliner they arranged in Liao and Jin, so that they can slowly integrate into the life here, gradually become the people here, slowly plan it, wait for the right time, and replace the Yelu family and the Wanyan family. In this way, even if they could not occupy Great Xia, they would be able to achieve the goal of moving from the island to the flat land. ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, they don't have the brain." As soon as Shen Cha's words were finished, the shopkeeper's head shook like a rattle, "The appearance, clothing, and living habits of the Japanese people are different from ours, and they are also different from those from the Western Regions, so I feel ...... Felt ......"

"It feels like a savage, nothing but ferocity." Jin Jing agreed with the shopkeeper's words, "The Japanese ...... As long as you show up, you will be targeted, and there is no possibility of hiding and spending it in peace. ”

"That's right, I think so too, they're special and easy to get noticed." Shen Cha put away a finger, "Actually, the essence of the second guess and the third guess are the same. Either the group of envoys who came to mourn were secretly brought in, or they were secretly raised by the princes and nobles of Linhuang Mansion and the important ministers of the court, but by chance, they were discovered by Nan Gongzi. Now that I think about it, these are the two most reliable. What do you think? ”

"This ......" Jin Jing thought for a while, tilted her head and looked at the shopkeeper, "Are there a lot of widows in Linhuang Mansion on weekdays?" Is it common? ”

"There are very few special ones, almost none." The shopkeeper also racked his brains and recalled, "Well, the little one agrees with the general's second guess, it should be brought in by the envoys of a certain country." As far as I know, several countries that deal with us, namely Jin, Tubo, and Duan, have had dealings with the Japanese people, and they get along quite well. ”

"Come to think of it, I've heard such rumors before, but rumors are rumors, whether they are true or not, it remains to be confirmed." Shen Cha took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "By the way, is the Japanese people related to the matter of the prison?" ”

"This ......"

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he heard two slight "whooshing" sounds, looked up, and two black-clothed people came in through the window, rushed to Shen Cha, and knelt down on one knee to salute her.

Shen Cha looked at it and recognized that they were the guards who had been following Yelu Nan's side, acting like the shadows around her, in addition to protecting the master, they were also responsible for delivering news and assassinating the enemy generals.

"Two of you, please." Shen Cha reached out to help them up, "Have you got a result?" ”

"Yes!" The slightly shorter guard said, "Childe has just finished interrogating the Japanese people, and I am afraid that the general will be worried, so I specially asked the humble to come back and report it." ”

"Say it!"

"The matter of the prison has nothing to do with the Japanese people, and it is a pure coincidence that they can be found. Originally, the lowly people were ordered to arrest the family members of the prisoners, but they didn't expect that there were ten widows hiding next door to the prison family. When they heard the movement outside, they were thieves and mistakenly thought that the lowly people were there to arrest them, so they clashed with the lowly ones in order to flee for their lives. In the process of fighting, the Japanese were injured and killed three times, and none of them ran away. Now that those who are alive have been heavily guarded by Gongzi's personal entourage, the general can rest assured. ”

"Nan Gongzi is doing things properly, this general, this general believes. It's just ......" Shen Cha tapped lightly on the table, "How did the Japanese people get in?" Who placed it in that yard? How long have you been living in that yard? ”

"The Japanese have just confessed that they entered the Linhuang Mansion with the Jin State Mission, and in the past two years, they have been doing some business with the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, and they hope that with the help of the Jin people's strength, they can achieve the goal of occupying Great Xia. Hearing that this time they were condoling for the first king, they asked the Jin people to bring them with them, and after paying a great price, the Jin agreed. ”

"Impossible." Shen Cha shook his head, "They lie, no matter which mission, you are strictly inspected, especially the Jin Kingdom, you will definitely not show any of their entourage." ”

"General, this is indeed our oversight." Both guards were a little embarrassed, "The Jin man put them in the cage with him......

"Cage?" Shen Cha was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sneer, "Heh, it's really scheming and scheming, they have already calculated it, even if they need to check it when they enter the city, they also check the identities of the entourage, and it is absolutely impossible to turn over the belongings of the envoys, otherwise it will be too rude." It is precisely because of this that they are so bold to send people in. ”

"Yes, as the general said, after they were sent to the Linhuang Mansion, they were not placed in the post house, and the cages containing them were transported directly to the small courtyard. It was only when they entered the small courtyard that they came out of the cage. They also said that the person in charge of transporting them had repeatedly told them not to go out at will or to move at will, otherwise they would be responsible for the consequences if anything went wrong. The two guards looked at each other, "The general, they still say......"

"Say what?"

"The purpose of their coming to the Huang Mansion this time is to assassinate my king, and ......" They looked at Shen Cha, "Great Xia envoy!" ”
