The duel between Tianji and Tianluo also came to an end quickly. This was the first time Xu Zizhen saw their true combat power after taking over Tianji. It can be said that their performance today gave him a surprise.
He knew that Luo Ji was extremely skilled, and Xu Qi Shi was also good, but he didn't expect that the others were not much different. In order to counter-round up Mo Jingxia this time, Xu Zizhen specially sent more people, in order to avoid any fish slipping through the net.
, it turned out that he was overly worried, and the ten Tianluotang members were captured without much resistance. According to what he said, one was crippled and the others were killed.
Xu Shiqi whistled, and everyone quickly disposed of the corpse. Then the others took the one who was still breathing back. Xu Shiqi lowered his hands and stood beside Xu Zizhen, and the forest became quiet again.
Mo Jingxia's body was still lying on the ground, with his head rolled to the side. This was Xu Zizhen's order.
Lin Chaoying glanced at him with disgust and asked, "Why don't you bury this man? Are you still useful?"
Xu Zizhen nodded and said solemnly: "I want to take this old bastard to pay homage to my brother."
This was the oath he swore in front of Lu Ying's grave. He would never break his promise to his brothers, and he would do it no matter how difficult it was.
Lin Chaoying stopped talking. She didn't ask, but she could see a deep sadness in Xu Zizhen's eyes.
Xu Zizhen took a deep breath to calm down, and glanced at Mo Jingxia with complicated eyes. Starting from Xixia last year, this old fox became his enemy. From the Xiao family to Prince Yun's Mansion, and then to Tianluo Hall, Mo Jingxia became a
In order to keep him alert at all times and improve his own strength, Xu Zizhen felt that he should respect this enemy from a certain perspective.
"Seventeen, bury his body and put his head in a box with lime."
Xu Shiqi responded, and first took out Mo Jingxia's arms out of habit. When he stretched out his hand, there was a bag in his palm. When he opened it, he saw dozens of thumb-sized projectiles inside. He looked at whether it was gray or not.
Black or not, I don’t know what it is.
Xu Zizhen suddenly became energetic. He was very familiar with this thing. The old fox relied on this to escape every time. He had forgotten it in sadness just now, so naturally he wanted to study it now.
The bullets were sealed with wax. Xu Zizhen pinched one in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he put a little force on his fingers, and then threw it out violently. A burst of smoke exploded. It was exactly the same as every time Mo Jingxia used it.
Xu Zizhen threw the whole bag to Luo Ji and said with a smile: "It's great that someone will give you a pillow when you are sleepy. Just take it. If there is any danger over there, you can use it to run away."
Luo Ji was shocked. He had never seen this thing before. According to the information he was in charge of Tianji, no one else in Tianluotang had this. This showed how precious this projectile was, but Xu Zizhen gave it to him without even thinking.
He didn't refuse, didn't say a word, he just put it away silently, but recorded the matter in his heart.
Xu Shiqi finished disposing of Mo Jingxia's body and took his head back first. Lin Chaoying stopped pretending to be a middle-aged man and drove to the agreed place. Not long after, he arrived at the Japanese envoy
Where the group ended up, Toba was already waiting there.
Xu Zizhen smiled and stepped forward: "Emperor Toba, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but there was an accident on the way and I was delayed. Please forgive me."
Toba didn't ask him what the accident was, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I know Mr. Xu is a trustworthy person and will definitely come."
Xu Zizhen also smiled and said: "Of course I believe in people, but Emperor Toba, do you believe in people?"
Toba was startled. There was something in Xu Zizhen's words. How could he not hear it? He looked solemn, raised his hands to the sky and said word for word: "I, Toba, hereby swear to Amaterasu that I will abide by my oath with Mr. Xu."
, if I have a treasonous heart, I will be struck by five thunders and I will not die a good death!"
"Hey, it's serious, it's serious. Toba-kun is too outrageous to say that." Xu Zizhen looked frightened, holding Toba's hand and said, "This brother of mine will definitely help you fulfill your wish, and he will never be involved.
It's up to you to let you successfully regain the throne that should be yours, but... Toba-kun, you must promise me that nothing will happen to my brother."
Toba felt happy when he heard that he had changed the name he called him. Xu Zizhen was showing his goodwill. This was a good start for the two of them to cooperate in the future. He was naturally talking about the safety of Luo Ji and him when they returned to Japan to do "big things".
Agreed, just kidding. Although he was suppressed by Emperor Shirakawa, he was still an emperor after all, so he still had strength.
Luo Ji followed Toyu and left. Xu Zizhen watched him go away until he could no longer see his figure, then turned around and got into the car: "Let's go home."
Lin Chaoying did not drive immediately, but hesitated and asked: "Xu Zizhen, why do you want Luo Ji to do such a dangerous thing? Besides, even if the throne of Japan changes, it won't be of much benefit to you, right?"
Xu Zizhen smiled with a meaningful smile: "Benefits? I never thought about getting any benefits from Japan. The so-called making a lot of money from trade in the future is just an excuse."
Lin Chaoying became more and more strange. If this was really the case, then Xu Zizhen's behavior was simply inexplicable.
"Then why did you do this?"
Xu Zizhen didn't answer. He just knew this kind of thing and didn't need to explain it to others. Why? His purpose was simple, because it was a wretched nation, a nation without moral integrity. He didn't know if he could participate in the counterattack to regain lost territory in the future.
Going to Jin Guozhong, whether you can even live well is still unknown, but you must make some preparations first.
Emperor Shirakawa has been in control of the government for so many years, and the world of Japan is under his control. If Luo Ji can succeed in assassinating him, it will inevitably cause a huge chaos in Japan. Shirakawa's confidants will never give up, and will definitely plot revenge secretly. When the time comes, Bird
Yu was busy quelling the chaos, and his life and throne could not be guaranteed at any time. How could he bother to cross the sea to take advantage during the battle between Song and Jin?
Of course, if Luo Ji had not succeeded in the assassination, the result would still be the same, because Xu Zizhen could see that Toba was not a fuel-efficient lamp either, and he might not be able to stop even if he was defeated.
Regardless of whether Zhao Gou will declare war on Jin in the future, it is always good to have peace on the eastern coast of the Song Dynasty for a while.
If Wu Dalang had not died, would he first find a way to deal with Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, or would he continue to sell cooking cakes to make money regardless of the risk to his life? The answer is obvious.
Xu Zizhen is very confident and satisfied with his decision. Besides, even if Toba comes to power and has evil thoughts about the Song Dynasty in the future, it will only take a matter of minutes to destroy him. Isn't it just a matter of crossing the sea?
Not that far.
Just when he thought of this, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.
Across the sea? Across the sea! Yes, how could I forget this!
Lin Chaoying saw that he ignored her and was just pondering there. After waiting for a while, she finally couldn't help but asked: "Hey, are you going home yet?"
Xu Zizhen came back to his senses and put on a strange smile: "Go home? No, take me to the government office. I have to discuss something with Master Qi."
