Chapter 76 Japanese Secret Envoy
The young master was partial to her and the senior sister was provocative, which made Wen Caiting so angry that she gritted her teeth, snorted, stamped her feet, turned around and walked out.
Seeing Zhu Yuyan's increasingly charming and graceful figure, Kanan became a little unhappy and began to reflect on herself:
"Did I play hard to get too much these days and make him unhappy?"
In the days after the retreat, when she was on duty serving Ni Kun, she often used some tricks to play hard to get.
For example, when tying his hair, I would deliberately touch his arm with my chest; when eating with him, I would deliberately sit close to him and rub against him; and sometimes I would take the initiative to hold his hand...
Anyway, there are a lot of tricks, but he never gets any real benefits.
Several times she keenly noticed that Ni Kun had suppressed fire in his eyes, and looked like he wanted to eat someone, but he finally endured it.
Sometimes she thought that she was also going too far, while Ni Kun was really well-mannered.
With his supernatural powers, if he wants to use force on me, wouldn't it be easy for him to capture me?
But he was able to hold back and didn't want to ruin his own practice.
This occasionally made the demon girl feel a little touched, but she just couldn't control her urge to play with fire, and she even enjoyed it.
How many women in the world would dare to flirt with the immortal immortal?
However, today, when Ni Kun called out Zhu Yuyan in front of her and Wen Caiting, Kankan still felt a little sense of crisis and felt that she could no longer be as willful as before.
"Even if I can't be as good as Master... I should still use some of his unconventional skills!"
He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then went to Wen Caiting to ask for advice on the secret techniques of Yin Gui.
…
The tenth day of the first lunar month in the thirteenth year of Daye.
Ni Kun did not use the Chinese New Year as an excuse to let himself go and stop practicing.
Since the Spring Festival, he still practices external skills and light skills diligently every day, and maintains the rhythm of offering sacrifices to the flying sword every two days.
This morning.
He finished the sword sacrifice and came out of the secret room, and saw Zhu Yuyan waiting outside the secret room with a serious expression.
"What happened?"
Seeing her serious expression, Ni Kun couldn't help but ask curiously.
"News from Liaodong."
Zhu Yuyan pursed her lips and whispered:
"Half a month ago, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Japanese army attacked Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. Master Shi Cailin of Yijian was killed, and all members of the Yijian clan died in the battle. Pyongyang fell, and the royal family failed to break out, and were all captured. Goguryeo is about to be destroyed."
"What?"
Ni Kun was slightly startled:
"How could this be possible? How could a small country like Japan destroy Goguryeo?"
Goguryeo was a powerful country in Liaodong. Yang Guang launched three expeditions to Goguryeo, losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but failed to defeat it. Instead, it shook the foundation of the country, leading to turmoil in the whole country and the rise of rebel armies.
According to official history, Li Shimin and his son Li Zhi also relied on the national strength of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and it took two generations of hard work to defeat Goguryeo.
How could such a powerful country be conquered by Japan in this era, with even Fu Cailin dead?
Could it be that some extraordinary figure really came from Japan?
Just as I was surprised, I heard Zhu Yuyan slowly say:
"After Japan destroyed Goguryeo, it sent a team of secret envoys to contact our Yingui Sect. They wanted to form an alliance with our Yingui Sect, cooperate internally and externally, and plot against the Central Plains."
Ni Kun frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me more about it."
Zhu Yuyan said:
"The battle of the capital where Fu Cailin died took place half a month ago. Such a short period of time was not enough for the news from Liaodong to reach West Shu.
“The reason why I was able to know this is because the secret envoy team that set out on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month ventured out to sea from Goguryeo, took advantage of the north wind and the southward ocean current in winter, and arrived in Jiangdu on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and contacted my senior brother Wei Lianxiang.
"My senior brother then sent out a communication eagle to contact me. The communication eagle arrived in Chengdu . Only then did I learn about Fu Cailin's death and the fall of the capital Pyongyang.
"As for the specific events, due to the limited capacity of the communication eagle, the secret letter can only give a brief summary. The details of the battle will be known after meeting with the Japanese secret envoy."
After listening to this, Ni Kun was surprised:
"I remember you once told me in a casual chat that your senior brother Wei Lianxiang entered the palace as a eunuch in his early years. He served two emperors, Yang Jian and Yang Guang, and his identity has never been exposed.
"Even your Yingui Sect's old enemy, Cihang Jingzhai, may not know his identity. How could the Japanese secret envoy know him and contact him directly?"
Zhu Yuyan's eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes flickered, and she seemed to be unable to speak.
But soon, she whispered:
"Because before attacking Xiandao, Japan first seized Ryukyu and wiped out the Dongming Sect, which was based in Ryukyu. The leader of the Dongming Sect, Shan Meixian, and her daughter Shan Wanjing were both captured by Japan.
"The Japanese secret envoys who came to contact our Yin Gui Sect this time are led by Shan Wanjing on the surface."
“…”
Ni Kun suddenly realized, but he didn't show any strange expression, just nodded calmly:
“That makes sense.
"Well, since Japan can conquer Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo, and even kill Fu Cailin and Yijian, it will be easy for them to capture Ryukyu Island, which is so close to them, and annex the Dongming Sect."
As for why he could go directly to Wei Lianxiang...
The leader of Dongming Sect, Shan Meixian, is Zhu Yuyan's biological daughter.
Given Shan Meixian's background, what secrets of the Yingui Sect could be hidden from her?
No matter how secret Wei Lianxiang's identity is, it cannot be hidden from Shan Meixian, who grew up in the Yingui Sect and was once trained by Zhu Yuyan as the successor of the Yingui Sect.
Since Shan Wanjing led the team to contact the Yingui Sect, Shan Meixian would naturally tell her who would be more suitable to find - the whereabouts of the Yingui Sect's monsters were secretive, and even if Shan Meixian knew them all, it would be difficult to find them all at once.
The only person who was easiest to find was the eunuch Wei Lianxiang who was lurking beside Yang Guang. Wherever Yang Guang was, there was Wei Lianxiang.
Moreover, Wei Lianxiang is Zhu Yuyan's senior brother. Not only is he qualified to participate in the discussion of such an important matter as the alliance, he can also contact Zhu Yuyan directly. This is much more convenient than just finding a small cadre of the Yingui Sect and then passing the message through layers of people.
"Shan Wanjing personally led the Japanese secret envoys to the Central Plains to contact your Yingui faction to form an alliance with Japan... Does this mean that the Dongming faction has completely surrendered to Japan?"
When saying this, Ni Kun narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was deep and unfathomable.
Hearing his light tone, Zhu Yuyan, who had an extremely close relationship with him and had some understanding of his thoughts, felt her heart skip a beat and had a vague feeling of uneasiness.
"No!" Zhu Yuyan said firmly:
“The Dongming Sect and Shan Wanjing were only coerced.
"In the secret letter sent by my senior brother Wei Lianxiang, it the other four deputy envoys in the secret envoy group had the intention of monitoring Shan Wanjing.
"Considering this important alliance, Shan Meixian did not show up, but only sent Shan Wanjing to represent her. This may indicate that Shan Meixian is under the control of Japan. Shan Wanjing had to lead the delegation against her will for the sake of her mother's safety."
"Really?" Ni Kun glanced at Zhu Yuyan and said lightly:
"What about you, Yuyan? What do you think about forming an alliance with Japan and plotting against the Central Plains?"
Zhu Yuyan said decisively: "I will obey your orders, sir."
"Your answer is a bit cunning." Ni Kun snorted and said lightly:
"The world is in chaos, the future is uncertain, I have no interest in worldly matters, and I have no interest in fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains. As for Japan...
"Oh, there are cute girls in Japan too, and I like those cute girls, but the Japanese pirates...
"This young master is only interested in killing the Japanese pirates, and I am very interested in it!"
Zhu Yuyan bowed and said:
"I am willing to follow you and kill the Japanese pirates."
"Very good." Ni Kun said calmly:
"In that case, let's go to Jiangdu first and meet with the so-called Japanese envoys. We can then take a boat to Goguryeo and see if the Japanese army is capable of destroying Goguryeo!"
Ni Kun has been staying at this villa for nearly three months. He has made some progress in his cultivation recently. He has been thinking about going out for a walk to see if there is a chance to find rare treasures like the "Origin of the Tree Demon" that can prolong his life - he can't expect the boss who drops good treasures to refresh near him every time, right?
The reason I came to Shuzhong was because I heard the news about the Leshan Giant Buddha, so I came all the way here.
This time it happened that Japan came to contact the Yingui Sect without knowing whether to live or die, so Ni Kun went with the flow and prepared to go to Jiangdu first, then to Liaodong, to meet the Japanese pirates and try to find opportunities along the way.
He has become more and more proficient in cultivating his flying sword these days. During his journey to Goguryeo, he has plenty of time to continue cultivating his flying sword. When he arrives in Goguryeo, he will be able to test his sword on the Japanese pirates.
It's also a good opportunity to take a look at what kind of people have "traveled" from Japan.
As for Shi Zhixuan, he might be hiding in Jiangdu...
Shi Zhixuan didn't know that I was the last remnant of the Moon Worshipers, and that the Evil King had different pursuits now. I took the girls from the Yingui Sect to kill the devils, so he probably wouldn't bother to pay attention to me.
Besides, we have a good friend named Dongfang Bai in Jiangdu.
Even if there was a conflict with the Evil King's forces by accident, Dongfang Bai, as a capable general under the Evil King, could mediate.
At worst, I will release a fusion funeral, even if it is just an air explosion, and the Evil King will have to think carefully about whether to provoke me.
Ni Kun obtained the tree demon's essence to extend his life by a thousand days, which made him more confident.
