"You dare to fool me!" Zhou Ming was furious.

Kikuchi Fengya rushed over like a whirlwind, and slapped his face with a palm, Zhou Ming was beaten a few times and rolled on the ground. He covered his hot face and looked at Kikuchi Fengya in horror.

The gentle eyes disappeared in Kikuchi Fengya's eyes. His vicious eyes and cold smiles, the 'Thousand-faced Moon God' showed her other side, and his voice was like a female demon from hell, "What are you? How dare you attack me?"

Kikuchi Fengya squatted down, grabbed his collar like a chicken, and said viciously: "I kill you like a chicken, but for a slutty man like you, I'm afraid that you will dirty my hands, so get out of here!"

Zhou Ming was thrown out of the room like a pile of garbage and fell heavily to the ground. He felt so painful that his whole body seemed to be disbanded, regretting and hating, staring at this devilish woman with a close eye, wishing to kill her with one knife.

"Do you want to kill me?" Kikuchi Fengya slowly walked to him, a knife appeared in his hand, and a cruel look appeared in his eyes.

"No! No!" Zhou Ming retreated back in horror, "I dare not."

"You are such a coward." Kikuchi Fengya lifted his chin with a knife, stared at him for a long time, and shook his head regretfully and said, "I look good, but unfortunately I don't have the slightest masculine spirit, and I'm as stupid as a pig. If you have the slightest bit of Li Weizheng, maybe I will really give you my body."

The ferociousness in Kikuchi Fengya's eyes gradually disappeared, her eyes became lost and desolate. She sighed, stood up and said, "Put on the clothes and go!"

Zhou Ming went back to the room and put on his clothes. From time to time, he looked at Kikuchi Fengya who was standing in silence in front of the window. Her back was so lonely and lonely. He gradually understood that this was the real side of Kikuchi Fengya. She would only reveal it when Li Weizheng was mentioned.

Zhou Ming suddenly felt a deep jealousy in his heart. When he passed by her, he finally couldn't help saying, "What's the point of he has to do with you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped out of the door by Fengya Kikuchi with a backhand. After a slight dizziness, Zhou Ming only heard Fengya Kikuchi's cold voice, "You don't deserve to carry his shoes!"

At this moment, a melodious bell came from afar. Zhou Ming was shocked. He remembered that it had been a long time since he left the banquet. He didn't care about the pain on his face, so he got up and ran towards the lobby. While running, he was anxious to think about the solution to explain.

As soon as he ran to the lobby, he suddenly stopped. He saw Li Wei and other Ming entourages in front of him looking at him coldly. Lu Siyuan sneered and said, "You have been in the cottage for too long. The banquet has ended. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Siyuan walked up to him and suddenly pointed at his face in surprise and said, "What's wrong with your face? Why are you blue and swollen?"

At this time, Li Wei was looking at him calmly and said, "Tell me! Give me a reason."

"I, I..." Zhou Ming whispered with the reason he had just thought of: "I got lost after going to the cottage. I saw a drunk young woman lying on a chair in the garden. I was drunk and got her... As a result, her husband ran into me and chased me all the way. I hid until now before daring to come out."

"You are so fucking embarrassing Daming!" Several thousand husbands couldn't help but curse.

Zhou Ming suddenly knelt down and covered his face and started crying, "I am not a human, I am a beast, please punish me hard!"

Li Weizheng turned around with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said lightly: "Zhou Ming, as a translator, you have indeed played a great role in this trip to Japan. I will not erase your contributions, but you are not suitable to be my aide. After returning, I will give you some money to support your father and strive to get an imperial examination as soon as possible. At that time, I will recommend you to be an official."

Zhou Ming seemed to have stepped on the air, and hope was cut off from his future. He suddenly collapsed on the ground and really started to cry.

Li Wei glanced at him and said to several Chiho: "Take him with you and we will return to Osaka Pier overnight."

Li Weizheng and his group left, but the story of Kikuchi Mansion did not end. In a secret room, Prince Ryosena, Kikuchi Takeru and Kikuchi Fengya sat solemnly and formally discussed the matter of the Chosun Kingdom's accession to the Southern Dynasties. This is the result of Kikuchi Takeru's secret meeting with Kikuchi Fengya, and it is also the reason why Kikuchi Fengya rushed back to Nara.

The Southern Dynasties needed a springboard to march into Kyushu, and the Nagato Kingdom was undoubtedly the best choice. Kikuchi Fengma was alone and independent, and she also needed a backstage. Due to the family, she did not choose the Northern Dynasties Ashikaga Yoshiman, but considered the Southern Dynasties. In this way, the two sides gradually got together under the guidance of common interests.

But getting together does not mean that they have to make a decision. They still have to take the last step, that is the conditions, and this is the key to the problem. Just as there is income and cost matching, the most important thing is to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. Both of them plan this way.

Like Prince Liangcheng, Kikuchi Fengya is also a practical person. The title of official title has no meaning to her. What she wants is real things, silver, grain and other materials. However, in Japan, some things cannot be done with money and food. For example, although the military supplies sent by the Ming Dynasty were used to be abandoned by the Ming army, many of them are still not available in Japan. This is why Fengya Kikuchi tried every means to get the material list. She wanted to choose what she needed most, and Prince Liangcheng would not give her the items she wanted.

She smiled quietly and said, "Your Highness the Prince has gotten a lot of good things from the Ming Dynasty this time!"

Prince Liangcheng also knew that she had come from Nagato, and perhaps she had any other requirements. Just now Kikuchi Wu told him that Kikuchi Fengya had the last condition, so he was silent and waiting for Kikuchi Fengya's proposal. Now that the conditions have come out, it is actually the batch of goods from the Ming Dynasty. Prince Liangcheng's eyelids thumped twice. The woman's eyes were indeed vicious, and she even had the idea of ​​that batch of goods.

Prince Liangcheng smiled bitterly. Since Fengya Kikuchi had already proposed it, it would be impossible not to produce some blood. He thought about it and smiled helplessly: "It's just some swords, armor, tents, etc., which are actually very ordinary things, but they can save us a lot of manufacturing time. If Miss Kikuchi doesn't dislike me, I will give you the five thousand most valuable sets of armor inside. How about it? I'm enough of my sincerity!"

If Kikuchi Fenga had not received the list, she might have really thought that armor was the best thing, but she knew there was something better. She shook her head gently, indicating that she would not accept armor.

"What? Kikuchi Fengya doesn't even want the best things?" Prince Liangcheng asked with a smile.

"I want something inside, maybe His Highness the Prince thinks it is not the best, but I need it."

"What is it?" Prince Liangcheng was already uneasy.

Kikuchi Fengya smiled gracefully, and her fair fingers drew a long cylinder in the air, "I want it, those three thousand copper muskets, and five hundred boxes of gunpowder and how to use muskets. This is my last condition."

Prince Liangcheng felt a whine in his heart. How could she know there were three thousand muskets? Those muskets were the biggest highlight of this batch of goods, and the fundamental reason why he paid 300,000 taels of silver with ease. In fact, he wanted to make muskets very early. He also got several latest muskets from the Ming Dynasty through Japanese pirates. However, Japan's casting level could not make such copper tubes, nor could it be equipped with suitable gunpowder. He had to sigh. This time, the Ming Dynasty sold him three thousand muskets at once. Although they were old goods, they were enough to arm a sharp army of firearms. Now, Kikuchi Fengya also fell in love with these muskets.

It is impossible not to admit it. Since the other party even knew the number of gunpowder boxes, it means that she had obtained the exact information. Prince Liangcheng pondered for a while and said, "I also valued those fire guns, otherwise we will get half of each of them. In addition, I will give you another 2,500 sets of armor."

"No, I want two thousand muskets and two thousand armors." Kikuchi Fengya spoke firmly without any tone of discussion.

Prince Liangseki stared at her. After a while, he finally nodded, "Okay, let's make a deal, I hope you will defeat Hiroyoshi Ouchi as soon as possible."

Ten days later, 300,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of rice from the Southern Dynasties arrived at Osaka Port. Li Weizheng also ordered the cargo ship to dock and unload the goods. In the following three days, the two sides carried out nervous delivery of money and goods. Zhou Ming was under house arrest and did not allow him to have any contact with the Japanese side. Li Yaoji served as the temporary translator and finally completed the transaction.

On the bow of the treasure ship, Li Wei was watching the last box of silver onto the big ship. It was finally time to leave. At this time, Lu Siyuan slowly walked to Li Weizheng's side. He said with emotion: "Although there were some twists and turns on the road, the final transaction was quite smooth."

Li Weizheng smiled slightly and said, "I think Japan has gained little. Taking over Danluo Island is the biggest gain of my trip."

When talking about Danluo Island, a trace of worry flashed in Lu Siyuan's eyes. He was very worried about Li Weizheng's proposition this time. With the emperor's character, can he tolerate Li Weizheng fighting without reporting?

"Sir, I will write the report on this trip to Goryeo and Japan for you! I will think about how to connect Danra Island, Busan and Nagasaki so that the emperor feels that we are following the trend."

Li Weijing nodded, "Okay! Please give this to Mr. Lu."

"Sir, it's all over, and the tamsui has been replenished. The wind is going east and you can set off at any time." A hundred household shouted loudly in the boat.

"Okay! I'll send the fleet to set sail and return home." Li Weizheng issued an order to set sail.

The sails rose, and the iron anchor was slowly pulled onto the big ship. The Ming ships anchored on the Osaka sea began to set sail one after another, heading towards the vast blue sea. Li Wei was waving his hand to say goodbye to Hosokawa, Kazuo and Kenji Kondo, who were coming to see him off on the shore.

"Sir, have you really not thought about fighting Yoshihiro Ouchi from Kyushu?" Lu Siyuan suddenly asked curiously.

Li Wei was staring at the sea. After a long time, he murmured to himself in a low voice that he could only hear: "Maybe! Maybe there will be that day."

The treasure ship moved. With the sound of the sail turning of "squeak!", it slowly turned its head, as if a giant beast raised its head and cut the waves towards the Ming Dynasty. In a wooden house at the dock, Kikuchi Fengya watched the Ming fleet leave, getting farther and farther away, and finally became a few small black spots. Her eyes showed an indescribable complex expression.

On the fifth day of April 24, Hongwu, the Ming fleet successfully completed the mission of a trip to Japan and finally embarked on the road to return home.

In the capital, the gate of Ye’s mansion was lively. More than a dozen carriages were filled with various items. More than fifty families were riding horses and waiting to set off. Today is auspicious day, everything is right, and it is also the day of Ye’s mansion. Ye Zitong wanted to take her two precious daughters to Shandong to reunite with her husband. However, Old Mrs. Ye also felt that the capital was bored. She suggested that while her legs and feet could still move, she would also go to Penglai to see the fairy island and fulfill her wish when she was young. Ye Tianming and his wife were ineffective in their admonition, so they had to let her go with her. Old Mrs. Ye said that she had no one to take care of her on the road, so she dragged her most beloved granddaughter Su Tong with her. In this way, Zitong was originally a husband, but in the end she became a huge trip for four generations of the Ye family’s grandparents and grandchildren, which delayed Zitong’s departure time again and again, and it was delayed for half a month before she finally got her way.

Today is the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, and it coincides with the day of the holiday. Ye Tianming and his wife got up from the fourth lunar month and made a busy confirmation before their final departure. Mrs. Ye went to the inner house to help organize the children's personal belongings, while Ye Tianming came to the carriage and told the old housekeeper who was with the carriage to pay attention to some things on the road.

Compared with the beginning of the year, Ye Tianming obviously became much thinner, which was inseparable from his daily hard work after serving as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Every day, he was always the first to arrive at the Ministry of Revenue and the last one left. He was too busy to breathe, and he had no time to consider how to increase his fiscal revenue. Especially after the drought broke out in Shandong, the Left Minister Bao Zhao was ordered to go to Shandong to inspect the disaster. Almost all the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue were pressed on him. It was common to stay asleep all night in the government office. Although the court pressure was extremely high, Ye Tianming still worked diligently and did not make a mistake since the beginning of the year. Even a typo was not found in his memorials, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied with him.

Next to Ye Tianming is his eldest son Ye Rutang. Ye Rutang ranked eighth in the last palace examination in February and was awarded the title of Jinshi, realizing the story of father and son being both Jinshi. Zhu Yuanzhang personally appointed him as the county magistrate of Tianbao County. He was only 25 years old and was the youngest county magistrate among the two counties in the capital since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Coincidentally, Zhan Yuanzhi, the son of Zhan Hui, also succeeded in the palace examination. He was 56 in the third and was awarded the title of Jinshi. Because of his father, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Jiangning County, echoing Ye Rutang. For a time, the two became the most dazzling official star in the capital and were known as the two heroes of the north and south.

Today, my grandmother was going to Shandong, and Ye Rutang was also helping, but he was a little dissatisfied with his second sister Su Tong. The second sister had not yet terminated the engagement with Li Weizheng, but his grandmother insisted on taking her there. Isn’t the intention just to the lice on the monk’s head? Isn’t it obvious? Although he also knew that Zhan Hui had secretly framed his father and knew that his sister and Zhan Yuanzhi had no hope, he did not change his prejudice against Li Weizheng because of this.

This prejudice has been around for a long time. He is only half a year older than Li Weizheng. They have grown up together since childhood, but they never get along. He likes to study, Li Weizheng likes to dance with guns and sticks; he is old and Li Weizheng is stubborn and difficult to tame; he is well-educated, but Li Weizheng is bold and reckless. One of them is water and the other is fire, and water and fire are hard tolerant. However, Li Wei is unable to move his shadow in his family and becomes his eldest brother-in-law. Even the relationship between his younger sister and him is ambiguous.

Now that my grandmother is about to take Su Tong to Shandong, Ye Rutang can no longer suppress her dissatisfaction and whispered behind her father: "Which grandmother still has to run out at such an old age, but it's just that our family is different from others."

"Shut up!"

Ye Tianming heard his complaint and couldn't help but turn around and angrily scolded: "Is this what a grandchild said?"

Ye Rutang lowered his head angrily and did not dare to say anything. Ye Tianming glared at him fiercely and reminded the housekeeper again: "You should try to walk as slowly as possible along the way, not only to consider the old lady, but also to consider the two little ladies. Set out in the morning and late in the afternoon and stay in the morning and breakfast. You should choose the inn, especially not to take any shortcuts. You should walk along the official road. You would rather be slower, do you know?"

"Don't worry, sir! I must pay attention."

Ye Tianming nodded, and he came to Li Weizheng's personal soldiers and bowed to Shisanlang: "You are the most skilled in martial arts among them, and I will leave the safety of their grandparents and grandchildren to you."

Shisanlang nodded quickly, "Sir, please rest assured, we will protect ourselves with all our hearts."

After explaining what was going on the road, Ye Tianming was about to go back to the house and urge them to go on the road. At this time, Ye Rutang suddenly found a carriage parked across the street, and more than a dozen people who looked like palace guards were guarding each other. He immediately whispered to his father: "Father, Your Highness the Emperor Changsun is here again."

Ye Tianming was shocked. He saw that there was indeed a young man sitting in the carriage. He hurriedly sorted out his clothes and ran across the road. In the past few months, he heard that the eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen had been waiting outside his mansion several times, but because of his busy court, he had never encountered him before. He specifically instructed his family to invite the little prince into the house, but his family told him that the little prince refused to enter the mansion and they had no choice.

Ye Tianming sighed secretly, and he also heard from his wife that the emperor Changsun was coming to find Li Weizheng's girl, Miss Qianqian. It seemed that he liked Miss Qianqian very much, but Miss Qianqian never wanted to see him. Ye Tianming had never heard of such an incredible thing, but it happened in front of his mansion. It seemed that the emperor didn't know about it yet. What if he knew it? This would implicate him.

Ye Tianming ran to the carriage and bowed, "I met His Highness the Emperor Changsun."

Zhu Yunwen only heard that Qianqian had returned to Beijing a month ago. He immediately sent someone to inquire and finally learned that Qianqian lived in Ye Mansion. This was the fifth time he had come to see Qianqian in a month, once every five or six days on average, but Qianqian never refused to come out to see him. Zhu Yunwen is an extremely stubborn person. He believes that sincerity can be achieved, and gold and stone will be opened. As long as he perseveres to the end, Qianqian will definitely be moved by his sincerity. For this reason, he always comes silently, walks silently, and does not come to find anyone. Even his personal bodyguards are unfair for him. It is recommended that the emperor summon Qianqian into the palace directly. Zhu Yunwen was furious and beat the guards hard. What he wants is Qianqian's heart, so what's the use of not getting her heart?

He was very sad today. Judging from the situation in front of the Ye family, he knew that Qianqian was leaving. He was so immersed in sorrow that Ye Tianming came to greet him, but he didn't hear it.

Ye Tianming saluted, but could not wait for the reply from the little prince for a long time. A eunuch called out twice, but Zhu Yunwen still did not answer. The eunuch could no longer help but spread his hands to Ye Tianming, saying that they had no choice but to make Ye Tianming very embarrassed. It was neither right to stand in front of the carriage nor stay.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen in the carriage suddenly exclaimed, "She is out!"

When Ye Tianming turned around, he saw that his family members were all out. Zitong and Su Tong each held a little baby, Qianqian and his wife supported the old lady from left to right, followed by more than a dozen maids and mothers.

Seeing that they were about to get on the carriage, Ye Tianming hurriedly ran to the old lady to support her, "Mother, please be careful!"

The old lady nodded. Seeing her son's thin face, she also instructed with some distress: "Tianming, you must pay attention to your health and don't let your mother worry about you."

The old lady turned around and told her daughter-in-law: "I am not by my side, and you don't have to worry about your children. Just serve your husband well. Look at how he has been like this in the past few months, I'll ask you for this matter."

"Mom, don't worry!"

Everyone brought the old lady into the carriage, and the two maids who were serving followed in. Ye Tianming whispered to Qianqian: "Miss Qianqian, can you give me some face? Go and say goodbye to the little prince."

Mrs. Ye understood her husband's thoughts, and she also advised her: "Qianqian, just say goodbye! Even if it's out of politeness, she should say hello, after all, she has been here five times."

Qianqian was very embarrassed. She knew that as long as she went to say hello, the infatuated little prince would immediately be imaginative and even more difficult to extricate himself. However, Uncle Ye and Mrs. Ye both advised her, and she had to give her face. When she was in a dilemma, Su Tong came over and said with a smile: "Qianqian, why don't I go with you!"

Qianqian nodded gratefully, secretly admired Su Tong's cleverness. She could not hear Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye's words, but guessed her own predicament. Su Tong handed the sister in her arms to her mother and said to Qianqian: "Let's go! I'll accompany you, and I always say hello."

Looking at the two of them walking across the road, Ye Tianming couldn't help but shake his head. The eldest grandson of the emperor was a love species. His Royal Highness sneaked out of the palace without any self-control. How can he succeed to the throne in the future? However, Ye Tianming also hopes that Qianqian can agree. If that is the case, he will immediately accept Qianqian as his adopted daughter and pave a way for himself.

In the carriage, Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up. Qianqian finally came. His heart was so nervous that he was about to jump out, but he was a little disappointed. Qianqian was not here alone, so she still didn't give herself a chance.

"Little Prince, I'm going back to Shandong today. I'll say goodbye to you." Qianqian said calmly.

Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly, and he said with concern: "I heard that Shandong has a great disaster, and the people cannot even have enough food. You will suffer."

Qianqian smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern. I am not afraid of suffering. But the little prince is the eldest grandson of the emperor and has his shoulders to the people of the world. I hope the little prince can put down his love for his children, focus on governing the country, and become a wise king who will be famous throughout the ages in the future."

Speaking of this, Qianqian gave him a gift, "It's getting late, I'm going to set off and say goodbye."

She pulled Su Tong and turned away. Zhu Yunwen looked at her back and couldn't help but sighed, closed his eyes in pain. After a long time, when he opened his eyes, Qianqian's carriage was gone. An old eunuch stepped forward and laughed in a low voice: "I see that the other woman next to me is more beautiful. Why not ask for the little prince?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head gently and said to himself: "Those who do not hear the singer suffer, but those who are hurt by the soulmate."
Chapter completed!
