Xia Shang looked at the sky and saw that the third watch was approaching.
Looking back at the joy on Ling Si's face, I thought it was rare to see him with such an expression.
However, the doubts that he just thought about have been lingering in Xia Shang's mind. Just as he was about to tell him what he was thinking, suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, so he changed the topic and asked: "What is the captured wizard going to do?"
Disposal?"
"Let's see if we can get some useful information from him first. Once there is no more value, we will naturally kill him."
Xia Shang nodded, then frowned and asked: "As you said, voodoo spells are a very dangerous curse. That woman was caught without any threat. What are her methods like? Can we guarantee that there will be no problems?
?”
"Don't worry, we have done some research on wizards. When any wizard casts a curse, he needs some sacrificial rituals and some artifacts of the cursed person. This process is relatively long. As long as people are watching day and night, the wizard will
There won’t be any problems.”
Xia Shang's expression became the opposite of before. He frowned first, and then nodded: "In this case, there is really nothing to worry about."
"Now that the safety here has been guaranteed, then Miss..."
"You mean to ask when will Yoshiko be sent back?"
Zero Four nodded seriously.
"It will be sooner or later to send Yoshiko back, but obviously it shouldn't be at this time."
"Why?"
"You have just carried out a big operation and caused a lot of commotion in the capital. Now our Dahua court is still busy wiping your butts. If you send Jizi back at this time, you may not be discovered by others.
The current Japanese princess is just a substitute, and others will also know that you lost the princess. If things go wrong, the fact that Yoshiko and I are old acquaintances will be exposed, and I don’t want to make so much noise. Anyway, Yoshiko is here
You are absolutely safe under my protection."
Zero Four frowned slightly: "I can bring the young lady back without anyone noticing."
"It's better not to cause trouble. Don't you believe me?" Xia Shang asked back.
Zero Four's brows relaxed and he smiled: "That's not true."
Xia Shang patted Ling Si on the shoulder: "Anyway, I still said what I said at the beginning, the less people know about Yoshiko's whereabouts, the better."
Zero Four didn't answer anymore and turned around and left.
Seeing that Ling Si left, Xia Shang didn't go back to the house to sleep.
Prepare to leave the Second Prince's Mansion alone.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, the Japanese guards stopped him and asked.
Xia Shang replied that he had received the prince's order and wanted to go to the prince's mansion.
The Japanese people didn't know whether it was true or not, but Xia Shang gave his reasons and didn't stop him.
But it seemed strange that Xia Shang left suddenly so late.
This matter soon reached the ears of the Japanese prince.
At the fourth watch, Xia Shang stood at the door of the Prince's Mansion and looked back at the closed door of his courtyard.
Xia Shang visited the Prince's Mansion only a handful of times, but he still had some memories. The guards in front of the door had all been replaced, making the whole palace seem a lot stranger.
"Who is it? Do you know where this place is?"
"The receptionist Xia Shang asked to see the prince."
"Receiving a minister? What receiving a minister? It's so late, no matter what important matters, the prince will not see him."
Xia Shang smiled: "Do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very important marriage recently?"
The guard replied: "I know clearly that it is a marriage with a Japanese princess."
"I am the reception minister who receives the Japanese princess."
After hearing Xia Shang's name, the guard straightened his face and saluted Xia Shang.
"Even if you are hosting the minister, if you have anything else, please wait until tomorrow."
"It is related to the marriage of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince once told me that any movement from the Japanese princess must be reported immediately. Since I am here, it is of course something important. Don't let me know."
See the prince, if something goes wrong because of this, who will bear the blame? You should also know that His Highness the prince attaches great importance to this marriage."
After saying this, the guard at the door became hesitant: "This..."
"It's better to be careful about this matter. Even if the prince is missing, you'd better go in and announce that he's here to receive Minister Xia Shang's request. In this way, if something goes wrong, you won't be blamed, right?"
The two guards glanced at each other and bowed their hands to Xia Shang: "Your Excellency, you are still thoughtful. Please wait until I come in to inform you."
Xia Shang waited at the door for a quarter of an hour. The guard came out and became more respectful to Xia Shang: "The prince, please go to the front hall to talk."
Then, Xia Shang entered the Prince's Mansion and was taken to the unnamed palace in the northeast corner of the hospital to wait.
It’s really that Xia Shang came too late. In the prince’s mansion,
The servants who were waiting in front of him were all depressed, and they looked very unhappy when they saw Xia Shang.
After waiting for another period of time, Li Xiangyang entered the hall wearing a golden nightgown, followed by a very elegant woman in plain clothes, but there was no trace of tiredness on her face.
Li Xiangyang, on the other hand, kept rubbing his eyes and his demeanor was very disheveled. He felt no stranger to Xia Shang after meeting him. He pointed at Xia Shang and said, "If you don't come to me, I will go to you! If you say a word, I will
Seventy-eight capable men were lost! However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate suffered no damage. I, the Crown Prince, wonder if you deliberately set this trap?"
Li Xiangyang was talking about today's raid. The men sent by Li Xiangyang were guarding the alley. Xia Shang didn't know the situation there. After hearing what Li Xiangyang said, he knew that there was a lot of damage behind it.
"No one expected such a result. However, everyone's position is the same, as long as we can get rid of the Japanese pirates lurking in the capital."
Li Xiangyang glared at Xia Shang, said nothing, frowned and waved his hands: "Okay, I won't argue with you, but what do you mean by coming to the door in person so late? Do you really think that I will treat you as a human being?"
Are there guests here?"
"I just came here to ask, what are His Majesty's expectations for this marriage?"
Li Xiangyang frowned, not understanding what Xia Shang meant.
Xia Shang continued: "If the prince cares about the Japanese princess, I have a suggestion."
"What proposal?"
"How about we take Her Royal Highness to the Prince's residence first?"
"What?!" Li Xiangyang asked in surprise, "What kind of behavior is this?"
"Does the Crown Prince not care at all about the safety of His Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Aren't they protected by people from the Japanese mission? The prince knows a lot about those people, and there are many experts among them."
"Why does the prince believe that the Japanese mission will definitely protect the princess?"
"What do you mean?"
Xia Shang said in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is not safe in the Japanese mission. I don't trust the people in the Japanese mission."
Li Xiangyang looked at Xia Shang and knew that this young man was not an alarmist, and he also had reasons to care about the princess' safety.
A person who can go to Xuzhou to fight against foreign enemies obviously does not want to see what happens to this marriage.
Li Xiangyang didn't want any problems with this marriage. After all, the mysterious Japanese princess would be his woman, so why not care?
