After about a stick of incense, the ashigaru, who had gone to report it, finally returned with a man dressed in a hunting suit who looked like a civil official.

"Distinguished guests, please come with me, Lord Tokugawa is very pleased with your visit."

Everyone looked at each other, and then followed into the Higashi-Oteemon Gate of Nijo Castle.

Nijo Castle has beautiful scenery and luxurious architecture, and the eaves and cornice panels of the palace are inlaid with gold leaf as decorations, carved beams and painted buildings, and the patterns include flowers, birds, wind and moon, and the five senses of the four seasons.

Yi Feiyun and the others restrained their breath, mixed between the Buddha and the man, and tried their best to make their bodies and feet like ordinary people, pretending that they didn't know martial arts.

Before they reached the "Honmaru Gate" in the inner city, the group stopped again.

I saw a samurai standing on the left and right of the gate wearing Dongying armor and carrying a sword at his waist, judging from the fierce momentum they exuded, they were all first-class masters.

One of the samurai spoke, "Please choose a few representatives to go in and meet the Shogun, and the others will wait for Ninomaru." ”

This was expected by Yi Feiyun, there were dozens of people in their team, and naturally it was impossible for them all to be released.

And the other party is not a fool, and he must have a majority of people in the Franc machine to not be suspicious. Therefore, according to the previous arrangement, Yi Feiyun and Wei Junhao followed the four Franc people in.

The warrior said, "No weapons can be brought into the temple, please hand them over for us to keep for the time being." ”

Yi Feiyun handed over the long sword in his hand when he heard this, he had long expected that there might be this link, so he and Wei Junhao made preparations in advance, put their weapons in the black ring, and replaced them with ordinary swords.

After handing over their swords, the two warriors were still not at ease, and said that they would search their bodies to prevent their weapons from being hidden.

The two samurai groped around the six of them, checking them very carefully, as if they were afraid of missing some hidden weapons or something.

Suddenly, Yi Feiyun felt a fierce true qi invade his body.

He didn't expect that there would be such a move, and when his true qi was stimulated without defense, he immediately resisted on his own, not only expelling the true qi that had invaded his body, but also backlashing out.

Yi Feiyun was suddenly shocked in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

The warrior was shocked by the internal force, his body trembled, and he was also taken aback, and then asked with a fierce look: "How can you have such a deep internal force?" ”

Gamma hurriedly covered up: "Don't worry too much, my lord, he is the guard I hired, and you know, it has not been peaceful recently." ”

"Let's go inside!"

The warrior snorted coldly, but did not stop him.

You're so talkative...... Yifeiyun faintly felt a little strange, but still stepped through the door as planned.

After all, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, not to mention that he is well prepared, and with Wei Junhao with him, even if a Miyamoto Musashi suddenly pops out of it, he is sure that he will retreat.

Located in the center of Nijo Castle, the Honmaru Goden was the residence that Tokugawa Iemitsu had built for himself, and everyone had to take off their shoes at the entrance of the main hall when they entered.

Yi Feiyun was very disgusted by this, because it seemed to make the floor cleaner, but it was actually very unhygienic.

Do you think, without the barrier of shoes, what stinky sweat and germs...... Isn't it all on the floor?

As long as one person suffers from athlete's foot, the consequence is that everyone is infected with athlete's foot, and a thin layer of socks cannot stop the invasion of germs at all.

Entering the main hall, Yi Feiyun saw a young man wearing a hanging crown and wearing an ink-colored court robe kneeling on the first seat.

It was none other than the Tokugawa family's third shogun, the de facto ruler of Toei - Tokugawa Iemitsu.

He looked to be only twenty or thirty years old, fat and with a slight beard, young but imposing.

Two samurai knelt to their left and right, staring at them with expressionless expressions.

"Honorable General." Gamma bowed, "The fleets of our two countries have cooperated very happily and achieved major victories, and I believe that your lord will be able to enter the Central Plains in a few days." I am visiting the Shogun because I would like to talk to you about trade cooperation. ”

This was not the first time Gamma had seen Tokugawa Iemitsu, as Calver, the leader of the Franc fleet, had acted as his interpreter when he conspired with Tokugawa Iemitsu here.

"Hahahaha......"

The Tokugawa family burst out laughing.

"Really? Actually, your purpose is not trade at all, is it? ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu made a gesture, and the surrounding guards swarmed up and surrounded several people.

"Ah, why do you say that? We're really just here to negotiate trade. ”

Gamma's face changed dramatically, and he sat down on the ground with his legs limp, and he wanted to quibble.

"Do you still want to be hard-mouthed?" Tokugawa Iemitsu said with a calm face, "Gamma, you are a Franco, I want to believe that you were coerced, and I can spare your life if you confess honestly." ”

"This ......"

Gamma hesitated, and he was caught in a dilemma.

Explain, he has the poison of the 100-day pill in his body, and he has no confidence in Dongying's doctor. And if you don't confess, then you may have to confess here now.

In the face of this battle, Yi Feiyun was quite calm, he was wondering how the other party could see through it.

Could it be that the samurai who tried his internal strength informed Tokugawa Iemitsu?

Then why didn't you catch yourself on the spot, but put yourself in it and bring danger to your own master? Or is Tokugawa Iemitsu not sure about the real situation and is just acting to test it?

Wrong......

There were samurai and generals all around, and not a single civilian official was present, it was a trap laid in advance!

Good guys, it looks like things aren't easy.

Yi Feiyun originally wanted to say that he would dedicate a song to the general, and then took the opportunity to play Mozi's sorrowful silk, so that they were unknowingly sealed by the qi vein acupoint.

Unexpectedly, before the plan was implemented, it was declared bankrupt.

"Escort them to the dungeon, and General Ben will interrogate them himself." Tokugawa Iemitsu seems to have lost his patience.

It seems that it is necessary to do it......

"Wait!" Yi Feiyun said loudly, "General, I have something to say. ”

"Oh? What do you want to say? Tokugawa Iemitsu smiled.

He looked at the turtles in the urn with interest, to see how they would struggle, and the despair that would lie after their struggle.

Yi Feiyun smiled indifferently and said, "Let's not say that we are indeed here for commerce, even if the general really wants to blame us, we should not besiege with more bullying and less."

Could this be the spirit of bushido in Toei? Hehe, it's really better to see than to hear, anyway, we Central Plains warriors disdain to bully more and less. There is a kind of one-on-one heads-up, using a fair duel to divide the winner and lose! ”

Yi Feiyun's words made the Dongying warriors look at each other, deeply ashamed, and unconsciously retreated.

Seeing their reactions, Yi Feiyun knew that his agitation had worked.

He knew that the Toei samurai enshrined bushido as their motto, even if they sacrificed their lives for it, so he played this card to force them to go head-to-head and increase his chances of winning.
