HLnovel Chapter 714
Chapter 714
When the two sides fought to the later stage, the Ming Dynasty found that it could not defeat the Japanese pirates at all, so it naturally chose to retreat.
At the same time, the shogunate would certainly be severely damaged after a great war, and that would be the opportunity for Shimazu Ujihisa to overthrow the Muromachi shogunate.
It’s a pity that everything has turned into nothing now. His Shimazu family no longer has a chance, but he still wants to live.
Therefore, even after being slapped, he did not give up, but continued to speak in Chinese:
"My dear warrior, I wonder if you are interested in wealth. I want to make a deal with you to buy my life."
"Although I don't know why you arrested me, but for a nobody like me, even if I'm arrested, it wouldn't be much credit, right?"
"I heard that the salaries of Ming officials are not very high. If you capture me, you can only get a small official promotion at best, but you won't make a fortune."
"In that case, why don't you think more about yourself and let me go? I can buy my life for a price that will satisfy you!"
After hearing what Shimazu Ujihisa said, Shen Lin immediately slowed down his pace, turned around and looked at him with a strange expression.
It’s not that Shen Lin was tempted by money, but mainly because there was something wrong with what Shimazu Ujihisa said.
It is not difficult to hear from Shimazu Ujihisa's words that this guy probably mistook himself for an officer or soldier, so the question arises.
I haven't said a word since we met, but why does this old guy have such a preconceived idea?
Even if Lao Ba had scolded him just now, it was just a normal sentence, not a word that represented his identity!
After pondering it for a while without making any expression, Shen Lin felt that it was necessary to give it a try, perhaps there would be other gains.
So, after Shimazu Ujihisa finished speaking, he pretended to hesitate and remained silent for a while before asking:
"We haven't revealed our identities, nor have we worn clothes that represent our identities. How did you know?"
When Shimazu Ujihisa heard the response from the strong man who was clearly the leader, he immediately felt relieved.
Although Shen Lin did not answer whether he wanted to trade or not, as long as he was willing to talk to him, it meant that he was interested and there was room for discussion.
So after Shen Lin finished speaking, Shimazu Ujihisa quickly responded:
"Although Osumi Province is far from Honshu Island, it is still under the Yoshino court after all, and it is aware of the Ming Dynasty's attack on Kii Province."
"Now that the war is at a stalemate, I believe the Ming Dynasty is preparing to change its goal and first take Jiuguo Island as a base before slowly making further advances."
"My Osumi Province is located at the southernmost part of Kyukoku Island, which happens to be the closest location to the Ming Dynasty. Now, you warriors have come to capture me."
"Plus, the warrior just now spoke Chinese, so there's no need to guess your identities. Is this answer satisfactory to you, warrior?"
Shen Lin didn't expect that a question he asked out of curiosity would bring such important news.
Lan Yuzhen landed with the navy from Honshu Island, and it seems that the current war situation is not going well.
Otherwise, Shimazu Ujihisa would not have described the war as a stalemate!
"We must hurry back and tell the young master this news!"
Thinking of this, Shen Lin was too lazy to pay attention to Shimazu Ujihisa anymore, and directly grabbed him and ran quickly towards Daimyo Prefecture.
Shimazu Ujihisa was still fantasizing that he could persuade Shen Lin to pay money to spare his life.
But who knew that before he even made an offer, the other party reached out and grabbed his collar.
Before I could react, I felt myself floating in mid-air, with the wind whistling in my ears.
Although he could speak, the current situation was obviously beyond his expectations, so he chose to keep his mouth shut cautiously.
It was not until Shen Lin took him back to Daming Mansion where he had lived before that he saw the handsome young man in Daming Mansion.
