"Hey! Isn't this Keijiro? I haven't seen him act like this in a few days?"
This sentence was the greeting that Sun Yixie said when he was taken to Sawara's prison and met Keijiro who was imprisoned in the same cell.
"Eh?" Keijiro didn't expect to meet him again in such a place, "Brother Sun... what are you..."
Before he finished speaking, Brother Sun, who was not far away, was pushed in from the cell door. Then the jailer who escorted Brother Sun closed the cell door again with a look of disgust and walked away.
To be honest, just in this scene alone... Sun Yixie's embarrassed look looks worse than Keijiro sitting in prison.
"Please leave me alone, how did you get locked up here?" But Sun Yixie didn't have any shameful expression on his face, and he asked in a very calm tone.
Keijiro had a bold personality, so he didn't mind. He just smiled and replied: "Ha... I traveled here a few days ago, and because of my weird appearance, I was arrested as a suspicious person."
"Oh~" Hearing this, Sun Yixie nodded, "You're similar to me. I was also arrested at the checkpoint outside the domain because I was questioned because I looked too tall and powerful."
Some people may feel strange when they see this - that's it for Keijiro. After all, there must be a bunch of soldiers standing guard at the checkpoint, as well as archers. It is indeed not difficult to capture him alive, but will Brother Sun be unable to escape if he wants to?
In addition, where did Huang Donglai go?
Yes, your suspicion is correct. Sun Yixie was arrested on purpose, and his purpose was to get along with Huang Donglai, so he didn't even have any luggage with him when he was arrested.
When he was interrogated previously, for fear that others would not arrest him, Brother Sun directly shouted: "I am here to find Kansuke Sahara!"
The guard guard must then ask: "What do you want from Mr. Kansuke?"
When Brother Sun heard this, he raised his voice a little higher and stood in front of the checkpoint and shouted: "Kansuke! I'll take you first!"
Hey guys, although the curse words in Japanese also contain a lot of sexual insults, at least among the common curse words, there are very few words that express a desire to have a relationship with the other person's ancestors.
Now, as soon as Sun Yixie said this, and then translated it through the "defeating the slander" technique applied to him by Huang Donglai, it fell into the ears of the surrounding soldiers, and they were in awe at that time; there were also some soldiers there
Whispering, discussing whether his words were in the future simple tense or the past perfect tense...
But no matter what, if someone like this is caught, we can ask him again.
So, Sun Yixie "came in" as he wished.
But Keijiro, who saw Brother Sun in jail, didn't know this, and he couldn't help but worry about Sun Yixie's situation.
Thinking from Keijiro's point of view, it doesn't really matter to him, because after all, he is still a descendant of a famous family, and he really has nothing wrong with him. He is just passing by here while traveling around. If it doesn't work, just report his identity.
There is a high probability that he will be let go, and he will live peacefully in prison for the next few days. In fact, it is a bit of a show-off, just to see if anyone in the Sahara family can see his "extraordinary measure."
However, Sun Yixie is from the Central Plains. His reputation and background in the Central Plains are basically useless here. Now he is a prisoner. If he is not careful, he may be killed at any time.
After thinking about it, Keijiro immediately said seriously: "Brother Sun, don't be too careless. Your situation is different from mine... Otherwise, I'll tell them and say that you are my friend, and you are also a friend."
A person with a strange name will have some weird words and deeds. As for you... just continue to use the fake name 'Kameda Kazuhide', maybe I can get them to let us go together."
When Sun Yixie heard this, he thought to himself that Keijiro was really loyal. If he cheated with him, it would not be impossible, but it might cause a lot of trouble in the future. So after thinking about it for a few seconds, Sun Yixie
He put away his playful smile and looked around. Seeing that the jailer was not there and that the prisoners in the other cells were busy with their own affairs, he lowered his voice and said to Keijiro: "Brother, actually... I was deliberately raped.
Caught."
When the words fell, Keijiro was stunned for a moment, but he quickly followed Brother Sun's train of thought: "So, Brother Huang is supporting you from outside?"
"That's right." Sun Yixie saw that the other party was quick in thinking and quickly realized the reason why Huang Donglai was not here. He was also quite happy, because this would make his subsequent explanation work easier, "And I might as well tell you... we
The real purpose of coming to Japan this time is to retrieve something, and this thing is now in this Sahara."
When Keijiro heard this, he was not very surprised. He just digested the information and then asked: "Could it be that... you are from the Imperial Court?"
It was normal for him to guess like this. People who could "go abroad" in that era, excluding forced exile, even those who were doing business, had a deep "official background", not to mention that they went abroad just for
"Retrieve something" is not a motive that can support a cross-border trip at all, but has an obvious "task" attribute.
"No." Sun Yixie paused, "But we are indeed handling this matter on behalf of the imperial court."
There are many possibilities behind these words. Who knows whether they came here due to coercion or inducement, or whether they are simply mercenaries.
But this did answer many of Keijiro's previous doubts. He seemed to understand why these two people were so sophisticated in their methods, but their words and deeds were full of charlatanism. He also understood why Shuanghe sometimes showed a chivalrous and casual side, and sometimes acted in a sly way.
Very utilitarian.
"Then I'll ask you one more question..." Keijiro thought for a while and then said, "Brother Sun told me all this, is it because he wants me to help?"
"That's not forced." Sun Yixie said this tactfully, "The main reason is that I think you are trustworthy, so it doesn't matter if I tell you this part of the information... Besides, letting you know this will also prevent you from being out of good intentions.
And do unnecessary things.”
"So what Brother Sun means is that if I want to help, you can tell me more details. If I don't want to, then there is no need to come to rescue you. It's more important to take care of your own life?" Keijiro concluded.
"That's right, it's up to you to decide what to do." Sun Yixie said.
At this time, Keijiro thought to himself: It seems that their "mission" has nothing to do with the struggle between the daimyo, and what kind of thing can make these two strange people travel thousands of miles to look for it?
?
Up to now, Keijiro's curiosity and his trust in the chivalrous actions of Shuangxi when he first met Shuangxue have undoubtedly prevailed. Anyway, he has determined that this matter is not a political struggle, so he has nothing to do with it.
He was mentally burdened. After he figured it out, he smiled and said, "Ha... it's interesting, let me get involved."
