Seeing that Nami was silent for a long time, Xia Shang was not in a hurry and gave Nami enough time to think about it.
After half an hour, Xia Shang broke the silence: "It's getting late, Miss Nami has to give me an answer. If Miss Nami doesn't take the initiative to follow me, your mission will definitely not let me go. Neither will the prince."
If you come by force, you can only delay and procrastinate. Now that Zero Four and your prince are not here, I am confident that I can take the girl away safely."
Xia Shang saw Nami's little hands clenched tightly together, as if she was having an ideological struggle.
"Girl, you are an excellent chess player. I knew that when I played chess with you. How can a chess player be willing to become a chess piece? Let alone a chess piece destined to die?"
As soon as these words came out, Nami's hand loosened, and a handful of sweat-soaked chess pieces were scattered on the chessboard. The chess game was in chaos. Nami stood up decisively: "I'll go with you!"
Xia Shang was overjoyed and quickly stood up, looked around the hall, pointed to the farthest window: "Go out the window."
…
At the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion, the Prince's team and the Japanese delegation had been confronting each other for a long time.
Li Xiangyang hesitated to leave and spoke very firmly: "In just a few days, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been threatened many times. You Japanese people have no ability to protect the safety of your own princess. Leave it to me, the prince, for my personal protection."
, so that the princess will be safe."
The prince of Japan said angrily: "Do you people in Dahua know etiquette? You are engaged in marriage and the wedding date has not been determined, how can you enter the house first? Besides, it involves the dignity of the two countries, how can I follow your wishes?"
"Is the princess's life more important or the so-called dignity? You Japanese people only care about dignity and don't care about the princess at all. Naturally, you will be negligent in protecting her in the future. This makes me even more worried."
Previously, it was the Japanese prince who negotiated with Li Xiangyang, while Ling Si listened.
It was just that the long wait made Ling Si a little impatient, and he whispered in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, you are worried about the ability of our mission. How about this, each of us sends a representative to see
Let’s see who is more capable of protecting the princess.”
After saying that, Ling Si drew his samurai sword directly, stood in front of the prince's carriage, and glanced coldly at Li Xiangyang in the car: "If the prince's men can't defeat the sword in my hand, the prince will protect the princess."
Don’t mention it again.”
As Zero Four's words fell, a murderous intent enveloped the entire place. Everyone in Li Xiangyang's team changed their expressions, and even the horse pulling the cart took a few steps back uneasily.
Li Xiangyang felt a chill on his back. He was here to delay the time, so as not to conflict with these Japanese people. However, as a prince, he had never been threatened in person like this. At that moment, he was a little angry in his heart.
I want to see how powerful the swords of Japanese samurai are.
Li Xiangyang sneered, turned around and said to the accompanying woman: "How about trying the Japanese sword?"
Jian Ruo walked forward slowly, with a serious expression, staring at Zero Four: "The Yin and Yang of the Seven Absolute Sect, Jian Ruo."
After saying that, he drew out the long and short swords at his waist and took a stance.
Lingsi didn't say anything, but suddenly the person flashed, and only a silver light lit up.
Jian Ruo's expression changed drastically. As a veteran grandmaster, she had participated in the battle at Xiantao Mountain. Her experience and strength were impeccable, but she couldn't see her opponent's movements clearly at this moment!
Jian Ruo instinctively circulated her Qi, and her long and short swords were also blocked in front of her.
As soon as she made a defensive stance, the katana had already arrived, and she heard two crisp "dang-dang" sounds.
The two swords in the Grandmaster's hand instantly turned into fragments and scattered around. The blades sliced through the crowd. In an instant, some guards who had no time to react died on the spot.
There was also a blade that directly stabbed Li Xiangyang's horse. The horse neighed in pain and shook the carriage violently, almost knocking Li Xiangyang off the carriage.
Fortunately, there was more than one master around Li Xiangyang. One of them held down the carriage and took a deep breath to control the carriage.
The chaos around them was beyond the concern of the two combatants.
The blade instantly broke through the yin and yang. The blade didn't pause at all and stabbed directly towards Jian Ruo's heart. He didn't care whether it was a woman or not.
Jian Ruo had never encountered such a powerful swordsman in his life, and he never thought that his swords were so vulnerable.
But she was also a master after all, and she reacted quickly and grabbed a guard over.
The samurai sword pierced the guard's body before stopping. Zero Four's figure appeared, and she sheathed the sword instantly without looking at the body on the ground. She glanced at Jian Ruo and looked back at Li Xiangyang: "Do you want to try again?"
Li Xiangyang was in shock and his face turned red. Others would have exploded long ago.
But the other party is Japanese
Chinese people cannot let the conflict escalate. Moreover, if a conflict breaks out at this time, Li Xiangyang cannot guarantee whether he can leave alive.
Li Xiangyang didn't speak, and the scene was a bit dull.
No one knows what will happen next, everything depends on the attitude of the Prince of China.
At this moment, a Japanese man ran out of the house and whispered something in Ling Si's ear.
Ling Si's expression changed after hearing this, and regardless of Li Xiangyang's response, he disappeared in front of everyone.
Seeing Ling Si's expression, Li Xiangyang felt half relieved, thinking that this boy Xia Shang should have succeeded.
"let's go!"
The man who helped Li Xiangyang stabilize the carriage was a little dissatisfied: "Your Highness, do you just admit it like this?"
"The days are long, and sooner or later this account will be settled with them."
…
Xia Shang had already left the Second Prince's Mansion with Nami.
The main reason why it went so smoothly was that Li Xiangyang attracted all the attention of the Japanese mission.
There were no obstacles along the way.
Before Li Xiangyang returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xia Shang had already arrived with Nami.
Preparations have been made in the Prince's Mansion, led by the woman he saw last night, who quickly settled down Her Royal Highness the Princess, blocked all news, and asked Xia Shang to stay for a while, waiting for the Prince to come back and discuss matters.
It happened very quickly, less than half an hour.
Nami was still nervous, looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, her palms were sweating.
This is a bamboo house hidden in the private garden of the Prince's Mansion. The snow around the bamboo house is like a snowy landscape.
The bamboo house was not big and could accommodate one or two people. Nami was still a little uncomfortable sitting on the hard bamboo chair, and her whole body was tense.
"Don't be so nervous. There will naturally be no danger when you come to the Prince's Mansion. If you can leave with me, you understand a major premise. We Dahua don't want any problems in this marriage. Naturally, your safety is the premise of everything.
.”
"But I'm just a substitute." Nami was still tense.
"You know, I've met Yoshiko, and I know how similar you two are. At this point, it doesn't matter who is the substitute and who is the real person. What's important is that you have to cooperate with me well in the future."
