The letter was already on fire. Seeing the woman reaching out quickly, Xia Shang simply let go of her hand.
When the flaming paper fell, the woman's hand did not flinch. She gently pinched the two slender fingers in the air and accurately held the end that was not on fire.
A trace of pride flashed in the woman's eyes, and she flicked it in the air to extinguish the flames. However, when she saw Xia Shang's nonchalant expression, she couldn't help but frown.
The letter paper was somewhat missing, and the content of the letter was also incomplete. In addition, the Japanese woman didn't know much about Chinese writing, so naturally she couldn't read much information.
I opened the letter and glanced at it before throwing it aside.
"Why not hide?"
"It's not something too important to begin with. Since you're so persistent, I'll just give it to you."
This woman was just a little dissatisfied and wanted to get some benefits from Xia Shang. Unexpectedly, Xia Shang refused to fight at all. It was like a punch on cotton, which made people feel depressed.
The woman felt that there was no point in staying here anymore, so she turned to leave the room.
"You just came in and are leaving now?"
The woman looked back at Xia Shang, ignored him, and continued to open the door and leave.
Xia Shang continued: "You are not an ordinary subordinate, right?"
These words made the woman pause for a moment, then looked back at Xia Shang: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I mean your status is unusual. Although you are a woman, you should have some status in the Japanese mission."
The woman raised her eyebrows: "How do you know?"
"It's very simple, because the elite personnel within the Japanese mission should be controlled by Ling Si. Your prince also sent people to monitor me before, but they were all useless trash. This time I found someone who is somewhat capable.
However, it was a woman who came over, which proved that there was no one available around the prince at all.
Moreover, after Lingsi heard about your purpose just now, he did not stop you from taking action, nor did he show any dissatisfaction. This should not be the behavior of a leader."
The woman turned around and took off the mask directly, revealing a delicate face with no flaw to be found.
"You still have some thoughts, just think you are right. But what is the purpose of saying this?"
Looking at the delicate face of the woman, there is no killer at all
The traces left behind, on the contrary, this face reveals more of pampering.
Although she is not as good as Yoshiko in terms of appearance, she is still different from ordinary Japanese women.
"Isn't your Japanese prince having a hard time? Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a woman here. It shouldn't be called Pai, I think it should be called Ying. You should have some kind of relationship with your prince, right?"
"so what?"
"I have some issues with your prince. It's just that I haven't been able to figure it out. According to your prince's temperament, if you really hate me, you should send someone to assassinate me. Why do you just send someone to follow and monitor me every time?"
.And your prince keeps yelling every time he appears in front of me, but doesn't take any substantive action?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and lowered her voice a bit: "His Royal Highness said that you are a smart person, and it is true. I didn't expect that you can see so many things just from the appearance. Since you have already discovered some of them,
Doubtful, then guess why the prince did this?"
"I guess you want to pretend to be my enemy so that you can send someone to contact me later. I think the person sent by the Japanese prince to contact me should be you, right?"
At this time, the woman finally gave up her plan to leave, closed the open window of the house, and sat down solemnly in front of Xia Shang.
"I didn't expect to reveal my purpose in such a hurry. Since you have already seen it, let's make it clear. His Royal Highness wants to seek protection through your power in Dahua."
"Asking me to protect him? This is looking down too much on me."
"Although most of the people in the Japanese mission are controlled by Lingsi, the prince is still a prince, so he naturally has channels to go beyond Lingsi to learn about Dahua. Judging from the news the prince has received, it seems that you are the capital of Dahua.
A very representative figure."
"I am a receptionist..."
"But he was also the former head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the mastermind behind the riot in the capital before that. This shouldn't be wrong, right?"
Xia Shang's expression remained unchanged. It was not surprising that the other party found out his information after investigating. He replied calmly: "Now that you all know it, I will also make it clear that no matter what your prince's purpose is or what happens to him, you want me to protect him."
This is obviously impossible."
"Why?"
"Your prince's reputation after entering the capital was not very good. I hate people like him. I was showing mercy by not killing him, and now he still wants me to help him? Is this possible?"
"But this prince is the only one in the entire Japanese kingdom who insists on peaceful coexistence with Dahua!"
Xia Shang raised his head slightly. This sentence aroused his curiosity: "What does this mean?"
"Judging from the current situation of Dahua, you definitely hope that the two countries will maintain peace. But within our Japanese country, your Dahua has always been the fat we covet. No matter how it develops now, one day, the Japanese army will still be there.
will come back. But this prince can promise that as long as he lives and can one day take control of the Japanese government, he will never invade Dahua in his life."
Xia Shang thought for a while: "Not to mention how illusory this promise is, and from what I have seen, this prince will definitely be difficult to achieve in the future. Besides, your Donghuang has clearly shown that he wants to resolve it with us.
Hatred, should I trust a useless prince or the Eastern Emperor who holds the power of Japan?"
"Ha..." the woman in front of him sneered, "Sir, you don't really think that His Excellency Donghuang is sincerely allying with Dahua, do you? It's just that there are some things that have to be dealt with and you can't worry about other things. When he takes his hand,
The war will begin in full force."
Xia Shang frowned.
If he didn't know that Jizi had a substitute, Xia Shang would not believe him.
But in this marriage, the Japanese mission included a woman who looked very similar to the princess. If the original intention of the Japanese mission was to use a fake princess to marry Dahua, then there would be no scruples in invading Dahua in the future. From this look
It's quite consistent with what this woman said.
But if this is the case, Ji Zi does not need to follow the Japanese mission to Dahua, so no one will know that the princess is fake.
There must be some inside story that Xia Shang doesn't know about.
Looking at Xia Shang's expression, the woman opposite knew that his heart was beginning to waver, so she stepped up her explanation: "Although the prince in front of you does not have any power, he is the most timid and the most content with pleasure among the royal family.
At most, he can do nothing but misbehave with a few women in Hualou. How can he compare to his brother who talks about benevolence, justice and morality, but has the ambition to conquer the world. It's okay for adults not to like him, but he is really a threat to Dahua.
