Steel Dynasty - Chapter 617

[Chapter 616 The Road to the Emperor]

“Attack Goryeo?”

Xiao Ming and Yue Yun looked at each other. During this time, both the secret guards and Yue Yun were aware of some developments in the Japanese country. They had a vague feeling that the Japanese country was going to use troops against Goryeo, but they were not sure what would happen. When to attack Goryeo and how to attack Goryeo?

“When are you Japanese going to attack Goryeo?” Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. He had to say that Yamada Nobunaga’s decision was a wise one under the current circumstances, and he ultimately chose to occupy Goryeo first.

Sakai lowered his head, and there was something strange in his eyes. He said, “I have the plan and road map to attack Goryeo. Please let me present it to His Highness.”

Xiao Ming nodded after hearing this.

After getting the answer, Sakai put his hand out of his arms, and when he took it out, it was clearly a dagger with a scabbard.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming was shocked and pale. At this moment, Sakai, who was kneeling in front of them, suddenly rose up and stabbed Xiao Ming. His eyes were replaced by fanaticism and violence, and there was no trace of humility and kneeling.

“Be careful, Your Highness!” Yue Yun and Liu Chen were horrified, and they immediately rushed towards Sakai.

But just when Sakai was still fifty centimeters away from Xiao Ming, a gunshot suddenly rang out. Sakai’s body froze for a moment, and then he fell down with a “thud”.

At this time, Xiao Ming held a short-barreled musket in his hand, and it was he who shot Sakai in the head at the critical moment.

Sakai was lying on the ground when he was hit. Yue Yun and Liu Chen also rushed over at this time. Yue Yun turned Sakai’s body over and saw a round bullet hole on Sakai’s forehead. At this time, he was going out. Bleeding.

“Your Highness, the general deserves to die.” Liu Chen’s face turned pale, and they knelt down in front of Xiao Ming.

Frowning, Xiao Ming said, “You are too negligent. Why didn’t you search the whole body of these villains?”

“Your Highness, the general was so eager to take credit that he forgot about this matter. All the blame belongs to the general.” Liu Chen’s forehead was sweating. Sakai and Hu Hai were so embarrassed when they were fished out that he ignored the incident.

“Fifty big boards, half a year’s salary!”

Xiao Ming snorted. He always made clear rewards and punishments. He gave Liu Chen and Yue Yun heavy rewards for winning the Three Mountain Kingdoms, but it would be difficult to enforce military discipline without punishment for such negligence.

Yue Yun still has lingering fears. If something happens to Xiao Ming here, he will definitely die and bear the blame.

He said: “Liu Chen, Your Highness is already showing mercy to you. If you have a better memory in the future, I will see if you dare to be so careless in the future.”

Liu Chen was ashamed. He naturally knew that Xiao Ming gave him a lighter punishment. He said: “General, please remember His Highness’s teachings.”

Xiao Ming also knew Liu Chen’s character from Yue Yun. Maybe because he was a fisherman, he was a bit casual in doing things. However, every general has shortcomings and advantages, and Liu Chen was still good at fighting. Be a master.

This time he taught Liu Chen a lesson so that he, like Lu Fei, could always remember the seriousness of the mistakes he made.

“These Japanese pirates are indeed vicious, and I almost believed his lies.” Xiao Ming said solemnly: “Throw his body into the sea to feed the fish, and all the captured Japanese pirates will be put into hard labor.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Yue Yun and Liu Chen said bitterly, and Liu Chen wanted to kill all the Japanese pirates in the sea.

Then Xiao Ming looked at Hu Hai, and Hu Hai’s body suddenly trembled.

“Your Highness, the untouchables didn’t know that Sakai wanted to assassinate His Highness, Your Highness, please spare your life, Your Highness, please spare your life!” Hu Hai kowtowed like garlic.

A chill flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Ming felt that he was still a little merciful. It had been more than four years since he came to this world, and some modern people’s thinking was still constraining his behavior.

However, this time Sakai’s assassination completely awakened him. Although technological civilization has been born in the West, barbarism is still the main theme of this world.

“Kill him.”

Xiao Ming said coldly. From now on, everything he does must weigh the pros and cons. Obviously, it is better for Hu Hai to die than to live.

Upon hearing this, Yue Yun signaled to two soldiers, who immediately dragged Hu Hai out and executed him.

At this time, the King of Three Mountains also arrived. He was overjoyed to see Hu Hai, who had once flaunted his power in front of him, been caught.

His people have told him the result of this naval battle. Both Hu Hai and the Japanese warships were defeated.

“His Royal Highness King Qi, can you hand Hu Hai over to Xiao Wang for personal disposal?” King Sanshan made no secret of his hatred for Hu Hai at this time.

“Of course.”

Xiao Ming said. The current Three Mountain Kingdom needs three mountain kings to maintain its rule. It is also appropriate to give a small favor.

Hu Hai knew he was going to die, so he stopped struggling. King Sanshan grabbed a long sword from a soldier and stabbed it into Hu Hai’s chest.

With a scream, Hu Hai opened his eyes wide and slowly fell into a pool of blood.

“Thank you, Your Highness. Xiao Wang’s revenge has finally been avenged.” King Sanshan burst into tears with gratitude.

Xiao Ming said calmly: “Hu Hai is dead, and the Japanese pirates have also been severely damaged. From now on, the Sanshan Kingdom will be safe. I hope the Sanshan King will remember his responsibilities as a foreign country.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” said the Sanshan King.

Xiao Ming came to Sanshan Kingdom this time just to inspect the place. Qingzhou had a lot of government affairs, and he didn’t want to stay here longer. After two days of rest, he returned to Dengzhou with the Qingzhou battleship.

On the flagship, Yue Yun looked at the disappearing dock and suddenly asked: “Why didn’t His Highness agree to Sanshan King’s request for marriage and bring Sanshan King’s daughter into the harem? Now that His Highness is a nine-five-year-old man, this ordinary official is still With three wives and six concubines, wouldn’t it be beautiful to have one more beauty in the harem? “

“Hahaha… You still haven’t seen through the drama played by the Three Mountain Kings. I ask you, since all his sons were killed by Hu Hai? , if he had such a good-looking daughter, how could Hu Hai let her go?”

Yue Yun was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, “This King of Three Mountains dared to deceive His Highness. He really needs to be dealt with.”

“That’s all, that’s all. When the Chongqing Kingdom and the barbarians got married, they didn’t choose a princess. This kind of formal marriage It’s just a show, I’ve given him enough face by choosing a prince.” Xiao Ming said.

“What His Highness said is true. The general almost believed it.” Yue Yun said with a bitter smile.

The ship drifted at sea for four days, and on the fifth day the warship arrived at Dengzhou Pier.

Compared with a year ago, Dengzhou is obviously much more prosperous now. Many merchants are coming in and out of the city and busy with maritime trade. However, this time Xiao Ming did not stay at sea longer, but took a day’s rest and went directly back to Qingzhou.

Now that the King of Wei is dead, Wei and Qi are connected, he really has no idea how the other three vassal kings will react. It is for this reason that he is anxious to go back.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Qingzhou, Pang Yukun found him immediately.

“Envoys from His Highness, King Zhao, King Liang, and King Yan arrived in Qingzhou a few days ago and denounced His Highness for betraying his promise and violating the truce contract. They said that if His Highness does not return the occupied city, they will jointly raise an army to attack His Highness. .”
