"How could...how could this happen?" The girl who is also a female, Miyin, burst into tears instantly. I don't know whether she was scared or sad.
Xia Shang frowned. From this distance, he couldn't see the details of the floating corpse, but he could tell that it was a young female corpse, face down, and the visible skin had turned into a terrifying black-blue color.
At this time, not only Xia Shang and others saw the floating corpse, but also several Japanese people who were fishing for koi in the south. From a distance, they could hear them communicating in bird language, and then they used a net to fish it out.
Coincidentally, a maid who seemed to be sent by the palace brought snacks to everyone under the pavilion. She seemed to have caught a glimpse of the situation on the lake. Her face turned pale for a moment, and the plate of snacks she held moved violently with her hands.
started to tremble.
In the crowd, Mo Bai grabbed the palace maid's wrist and said seriously: "What on earth is going on?"
"Young master... this slave... this slave doesn't know anything."
"You must know!" Mo Bai shouted.
"Master, please don't embarrass me..."
"Quick! The past few people stopped the Japanese people below. We want to see the body!"
The people present were all smart people. After seeing the expression from the palace maid, everyone had a rough guess in their minds.
Although the guards of the Affinity Pavilion have all been replaced by Japanese people, there are still many maids serving here. The corpse is probably one of the maids.
This matter must be closely related to the Japanese people.
Others might not care so much about the life and death of a palace maid, but the people here are all well-known talents in Dahua. These talents are used to seeing glamour, but they rarely see similar dark sides, and they all harbor a jealous heart.
Heart, how can you watch a woman die inexplicably and pretend not to know? Moreover, the death of this palace maid is most likely related to the Japanese people here.
In the current general context, the relationship between the two countries is very delicate. When such a situation occurs, the first reaction of any Chinese citizen is to be extremely angry.
Sure enough, when Mo Bai shouted, the young masters under the pavilion immediately understood. Yang Shang took the lead, followed by three others and ran towards the south lake.
Xia Shang was quite satisfied with their reaction, but he felt a little impulsive.
he
We are all literati and have no strength to restrain a chicken. If we rush over like this, we are afraid that we will have a conflict with those Japanese warriors. If something goes wrong and we start a fight, won't these people be killed instantly?
Xia Shang made a quick decision and followed them towards the scene of the incident.
"Xia Chunqiu, wait!" When Lin Qingzhu saw Xia Shang running away, she also ran away, but she didn't care about Sister Ke, who she usually had a good relationship with.
The scene immediately became chaotic.
As soon as the female body was dragged to the shore, Yang Shang, the Bai brothers and Chang Xin arrived in front of three Japanese warriors.
Three Japanese warriors, one of whom was salvaging, two stepped forward to stop Yang Shang and others.
The other party did not speak to them, and the warrior behind was ready to take the female body away directly.
Bai Song's eyes widened when he saw it. He ignored the hand of the warrior in front of him on the handle of the sword and rushed over.
Yang Shang shouted: "We are Dahua representatives participating in the cultural conference between the two countries. You should try to use the knife!"
"Click..." Two times, the light of the sword flashed in front of several literati. Bai Song, who was rushing in front, didn't even see the opponent's movements clearly. There was a sharp pain on the left side of his neck, and he screamed and squatted down.
On the ground.
Everyone was stunned because they all saw the shadow of the knife falling on Bai Song's neck, and the blade of the other knife was already pointed at Yang Shang's chest.
Fortunately for Yang Shang, the other party did not take action, but Bai Song was in dire straits!
It is said that the Japanese samurai swords are as sharp as clay, and they are extremely sharp. Bai Song, who has thin skin and tender flesh, would be killed if he hit it on the neck like this?
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Looking at Bai Song squatting on the ground, he was just holding his neck and struggling, but no blood was seen.
It turns out that in that moment, the Japanese warrior used the back of the sword.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are so brave!" Yang Shang looked at the blade on his chest, but there was no fear on his face.
However, he could only say that and did not dare to move forward.
"What should we do? They don't seem to understand what we are saying..." Bai Gei looked a little anxious.
Yang Shang turned around and saw Xia Shang, and suddenly thought that he had fought against a Japanese warrior in the teahouse. That time was really majestic.
"Brother Xia! This matter depends on
You! We must not let these Japanese people take the body away, and then we will have to let them have their say."
The incident happened so suddenly that Xia Shang had no time to think about it. Seeing that the person behind him was about to leave with the body, Xia Shang stepped in front of the two Japanese warriors.
Xia Shang didn't stop and moved directly towards the two people in front of him.
The warrior who had just slashed Bai Song with the back of his sword thought Xia Shang was a helpless scholar, so he slashed Xia Shang in the same way.
Xia Shang did not forcefully accept it. The last time he mobilized his zhenqi made him feel very uncomfortable. Naturally, he would not deliberately show off his authority this time.
The shadow of the knife that was as fast as the wind in others' eyes seemed much slower in Xia Shang's eyes. He turned sideways, and the shadow of the knife wiped his clothes and fell into the air.
The Japanese warrior's face changed drastically, knowing that he had met a master.
But it was too late for him to change his tactics now. Xia Shang grabbed the hem of his clothes and gently swung it towards the lake. With a stir under his feet, the Japanese warrior instantly fell straight into the water like a stone.
Things developed so fast that the young masters behind him were all dumbfounded. Who would have thought that this handsome Mr. Xia was so quick with his hands and feet?
Indeed, in the eyes of a bunch of young masters who didn't understand anything, what Xia Shang just showed was just a quick move.
However, another Japanese pirate warrior already knew the difference between Xia and Shang, and could easily avoid the samurai sword. The whole of Dahua was like a phoenix.
The blade aimed at Yang Shang instantly turned to Xia Shang, but Xia Shang ignored him at all and took two steps to reach the Japanese pirate dragging the female corpse.
The blade behind him was half a minute slower. Xia Shang grabbed the wrist of the last Japanese warrior and squeezed it hard. Although there was no sound of bones breaking, the Japanese warrior let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
Compared with Bai Song's just now, this scream was even worse.
"What's wrong!" A cold female voice came from behind Xia Shang, even as she stopped the stabbing of the blade behind him.
Seeing that the threat behind him was gone, Xia Shang quietly stopped his right hand that was about to use the concealed weapon. However, his left hand did not let go. He still grabbed the Japanese warrior who was howling on the ground and looked back slowly.
I saw the Nami girl I met at the teahouse last time put on a gorgeous pink kimono and was looking at me with a frown: "Mr. Xia, we meet again."
