Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the study room.

Hu Weiyong was sitting on a chair, looking down at something and reading something. He held a cup of hot tea in his hand and took a sip occasionally.

At this moment, there was the sound of rapid footsteps, and the housekeeper Qin Hai quickly appeared at the door of the study.

"Master, I just received news that the young master, along with the Jin Yiwei people and the Ministry of Rites, left the capital and went to Kyoto Guard to greet the Japanese delegation."

Qin Hai walked into the study room in a panic and said loudly.

"What?!"

After hearing Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong's face changed drastically. He couldn't help but exclaimed, raised his head suddenly, and accidentally spilled the tea in the cup.

"what happened?!"

"Didn't I tell him to stay away from the mission? Why did he bring people to greet him personally?"

"Stop him quickly!"

Hu Weiyong stared at Qin Hai with a puzzled look on his face, and a trace of worry between his brows.

"I heard that I followed His Majesty's order. I have already left the city now. I'm afraid it's too late."

Qin Hai frowned and replied.

"Your Majesty's will?!"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have understood something, but his brows became tighter and tighter.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Qin Hai asked hesitantly.

"Since it is His Majesty's will, this is the only way. I can't stop it."

"Pay close attention to the young master. When the young master returns to Beijing, immediately notify him to come see me!"

Hu Weiyong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Qin Hai nodded in agreement and slowly retreated, his face also a little solemn.

Hu Weiyong sat on the chair, frowning slightly, and looked at the time, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

...

Kyoto Guardian.

When Hu Fei and his party arrived at Kyoto Guard, Kyoto Guard guard Xie Bi had already lined up to greet them.

"The Kyoto Guards have finished their work and I have seen the Commander-in-Chief."

"I have met Zhou Shangshu."

After thanking him, he bowed respectfully and said loudly.

Hu Fei sat on the horse, nodded slightly, looked around, and found that there was no shadow of the Japanese delegation around.

At this time, Zhou Tong, the Minister of Rites, slowly walked out of the carriage next to him with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, sir. Where is the mission? How is everything going?"

Zhou Tong got off the carriage, looked at Xie Bi, and asked with a smile.

"Back to Zhou Shangshu, everything is fine, but they seem to be eager to enter the capital."

Xie Bi nodded, then glanced behind him and lowered his voice.

"Thank you, sir. We are here to welcome them into the capital. By the way, where are they?"

Zhou Tong smiled, glanced around and asked.

"It's right inside."

Xie Bi pointed to the inside of the guardhouse and replied hurriedly.

"What a big show. I personally came to greet them, but none of them showed up. What's wrong? Are you still waiting for me to greet them?!"

Hu Fei snorted coldly and said disdainfully, his face gloomy.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Zhou Tong and Xie Bi were shocked at the same time, with a trace of panic flashing on their faces.

"The commander has misunderstood. If they knew that you were here in person, they would definitely come out to welcome you."

Xie Bi cupped his hands and explained with a serious face.

"Yes, sir, the envoy is a guest after all. You don't remember the faults of villains, so please forgive them this time."

Zhou Tong also hurriedly echoed, but the two of them unconsciously lowered their voices when speaking, as if they were afraid of being heard by the people in the mission.

"Aren't you still an official of my Ming Dynasty?! Why do you sound like you are talking to outsiders?!"

Hu Fei looked at the two of them expressionlessly and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhou Tong and Xie Bi were stunned again and hurriedly bowed their heads to find excuses for themselves.

But Hu Fei ignored him, got off his horse, and walked straight to the guardhouse.

He knew what his mission was, so from the moment he arrived at Kyoto Guard, everything had officially begun.

Zhu Yuanzhang's will was exactly what he wanted.

Soon, Hu Fei led people into the guardhouse and went directly to the backyard.

"Where are the people?!"

Hu Fei glanced around and asked in a deep voice.

"It's right inside."

Xie Bi hurriedly stepped forward, pointed to the main hall in the backyard, and answered cautiously.

Hu Fei glanced at it, said nothing, and walked straight to the main hall.

But before he could take a few steps, seven or eight young men in strange clothes suddenly appeared in the courtyard, carrying Japanese swords at their waists, blocking his way. They all glared at him coldly.

Seeing this scene, Pei Jie and Ye Qing didn't say anything, but directly stood in front of Hu Fei, looking at the seven or eight Japanese swordsmen coldly, and were about to take action.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xie Bi hurried over and cupped his hands at both parties.

"Misunderstanding!"

"Everyone, everyone, this is the Commander of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty. He is here to welcome the envoys to Beijing. Don't be impulsive. Please let me know."

"Lord Commander, they are the bodyguards of the mission and do not mean any harm. Please forgive me and please wait a moment."

While Xie Bi introduced Hu Fei to the swordsmen, he explained to Hu Fei in a panic, with sweat already visible on his forehead.

Seeing Xie Bi's submissive look, Hu Fei felt disgusted, ignored him and walked straight to the main hall.

"This is Ming Dynasty's territory, let me see who dares to stop me!"

Hu Fei said coldly while walking.

Seeing that Hu Fei was about to force his way in, seven or eight Japanese swordsmen actually pulled out the swords from their waists and prepared to take action.

But as soon as they made a move, dozens of Jinyi guards rushed into the backyard, surrounded several swordsmen, and aimed their powerful crossbows at several of them! The two sides immediately became tense!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong and Xie Bi turned pale at the same time. They looked at Hu Fei who had already reached the entrance of the main hall and hurriedly followed him.

In the hall, several Japanese envoys were kneeling on the ground drinking tea, while seven or eight swordsmen in the same attire were guarding the main hall.

Seeing Hu Fei suddenly barging in, several swordsmen also drew their swords and quickly approached Hu Fei.

Ye Qing gave a sharp shout and led the Golden Cavalry Guards directly to meet them, blocking several swordsmen.

Hu Fei looked at the people kneeling on the ground coldly, his eyes were cold, and his right hand was already on Jiu Qianhan at his waist.

If his gloomy face just now was just an act, it has become real now, because he finally understood the arrogance of the Japanese mission described by Hu Weiyong.

Even if we look at the entire capital, there will never be another person who dares to be so rude to him and fight with swords!

"Master Kuroda, there is a misunderstanding!"

"This person is here to take you to the capital. I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Fei, the Marquis of Jiu'an!"

Seeing this scene, Xie Bi hurriedly rushed into the main hall, cupped his hands towards a middle-aged man sitting in the hall, and explained in a panic.

At the same time, Zhou Tong, the Minister of Rites, also walked in quickly and saluted the middle-aged man.

"My official name is Zhou Tong, the Minister of Rites, and you must be Lord Yoshitaka Kuroda, the Prime Minister of the Japanese Administrative Department, right?"

Zhou Tong asked respectfully while saluting.

The middle-aged man had a stern look on his face, looked at Hu Fei, then looked at Zhou Tong and Xie Bi, and gently waved his hand, signaling all the guards to put away their swords and retreat.

Yoshitaka Kuroda?

It smells like something inside!

Hu Fei was also looking at the middle-aged man known as the Prime Minister of the Zhibu Province, his face also showed no expression.
