Chapter 864: Difficulty
Hongyi noticed that something was wrong at this time, turned his head to look, and saw that Yuan Fang and the two strangers were looking at him, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and made a fierce appearance and said, "I didn't participate in the war, I just watched from the side." ”
Yuan Fang smiled, pointed to Han Ji and Luo Feng on the opposite side, and said, "They are General Han Ji, the commander of the Gulfstream Empire's Storm Fleet, and Adjutant Luo Feng, and what you just said is their fleet that has no power to fight back." Hongyi was embarrassed for a while when she heard this, and made a grimace and pulled Yu Jingqiu to run to the back room.
Yuan Fang shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Where did we talk just now?" Oh, by the way, what's going on with your prince? ”
Han Ji sighed and said, "Here's the thing, some time ago, the Liusang Empire sent someone to us, saying that our Royal Highness the Prince was detained by your country, so we came after receiving the order, as for what other things are there, um. Han Ji hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the truth.
Seeing this, Luo Feng hurriedly said: "Yes, that's it, it was told to us by the Liusang people." ”
Yuan Fang could see that Han Ji and Luo Feng's words were not true, his face became a little ugly, and he reminded again: "Two, I have already said just now, I respect the soldiers, so I give you the respect you deserve, but don't take my friendliness as weakness and bully, I will ask one last time, I just want to hear the truth, otherwise, I will have to hand over the two to the military police, they have many ways to make you tell the truth, I don't know if you want to see their means." ”
Han Ji took a deep breath and looked at Yuan Fang: "Thank you Lord Yuan for your care, I, Han Ji, have fought all my life, and I have never been defeated, and I am convinced by the defeat to Your Excellency today, since Lord Yuan asked so, then I will tell Lord Yuan what I know, but I have a request, I hope Lord Yuan can agree, otherwise even if the old man dies, he will not say half a word." ”
Yuan Fang frowned: "What requirements?" ”
Han Ji pondered for a moment and said: "If my guess is correct, Lord Yuan should be in charge here, I hope Lord Yuan can treat the soldiers under my command well, they have no grudges with your country, just like Lord Yuan said, they are all soldiers, just soldiers." ”
After waiting for a while, Han Ji didn't speak again, and Yuan Fang asked tentatively, "Gone?" That's it? ”
Han Ji nodded, his expression was serious, and he looked at Yuan Fang without squinting, waiting for his answer. Yuan Fang then asked: "What about you, you don't have anything to ask for yourself?" Like letting you go back or something? ”
Han Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Those are not needed, Han Ji has already died in battle, and there will be no Han Ji in the future." ”
Luo Feng looked at Han Ji in amazement: "General, you." ”
Han Ji waved his hand and said: "Actually, I should have retreated bravely, but I still couldn't escape the temptation of fame and fortune, I lost today, I finally saw through, living, and being able to do what I like is the real life, I'm tired of the days when you are adrift on the sea all day long." ”
Han Ji looked at Yuan Fang: "If possible, I hope Lord Yuan can help me fulfill my wish to raise flowers and grass." ”
Yuan Fang nodded slightly with interest and said, "You can talk about it first." ”
Yuan Fang cunningly did not agree and did not refuse, Han Ji smiled faintly, knowing that it was time for him to express his sincerity, and said categorically: "The whole thing is a conspiracy, a big conspiracy, but our Royal Highness the Prince has indeed been detained by your country, I am sure of this, of course, it is also possible that His Royal Highness the Prince has died in the war." ”
Yuan Fang asked, "Are you so sure?" Didn't you just say that you listened to the people of the Liusang Empire, so you weren't afraid that they would lie to you? ”
Han Ji waved his hand: "Listen to me, our Liusang Empire has reached an agreement with the Liusang Empire, the Yuanhe Empire and the Wishing Empire to jointly send troops to carve up your territory. ”
Yuqing sneered and said, "Hmph, finally tell the truth, I know that you are not well-intentioned." ”
Han Ji was not annoyed, and continued: "And my Wanliu Empire sent troops to invade your country, and there always needs to be a reason to hide people's eyes and ears, so His Royal Highness the Prince has become this reason. Lord Yuan, you should have an impression of a pirate leader named Cai Ning, right? ”
Yuan Fang thought for a while: "Cai Ning? Who is Cai Ning? Yuqing, have we dealt with pirates? ”
Yuqing glared at Yuan Fang, hating him for being heartless, it was only a few days, and he forgot about Cai Ning, and at first glance, he never took these things seriously, in front of outsiders, Yuqing naturally had to save some face for Yuan Fang, and he didn't care, and reminded in a low voice: "It's the leader of the pirates who occupied Long Roundabout." ”
Being reminded by Yuqing like this, Yuan Fang suddenly remembered Cai Ning, slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "I'll just say, this name is a little familiar, you see my memory, hey, I also pretended to be his little minion at the beginning." General Han, you mentioned this person, does he have anything to do with the prince of your empire? ”
Han Ji saw that Yuan Fang was as casual as idle talk, unpretentious, and looked a little funny, but he liked this atmosphere very much, and said with a smile: "Cai Ning, it is His Royal Highness the Prince of our empire. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Fang, Yuqing, Sang Rou and Yuyue, as well as Yu Jingqiu and others were all stunned, everyone couldn't believe it, a pirate with bad personal morality, bad conduct and forgetting profit and righteousness was actually the prince of the Wanliu Empire. Yuan Fang was stunned and said, "General Han, I don't read much, don't lie to me." ”
Han Ji was stunned, he really couldn't understand what to do with being deceived by reading less, and he was a little uncomfortable with Yuan Fang's way of thinking.
Luo Feng saw that the matter had come to this, and there was nothing to hide, rather than letting Han Ji explain the facts and betray the empire, it was better to bear this notoriety by himself: "Lord Yuan, this is exactly the case, Cai Ning is our Royal Highness of the Wanliu Empire, and he is the younger brother of His Majesty of our country, and I can guarantee this with my life." ”
Yuan Fang asked suspiciously: "But why do I hear that you don't seem to be a little respectful of his name?" ”
Luo Feng waved his hand to interrupt Han Ji and said, "General, let's talk about it." Han Ji understood Luo Feng and knew his intention to do this, so he smiled gratefully, nodded and said no more.
Luo Feng replied: "Because after the death of the first emperor, His Majesty and several princes had a very unpleasant quarrel, and even met with swords, and then His Majesty triumphantly ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, most of the other princes were nowhere to be found, and I heard that they were all secretly executed by His Majesty, only this Cai Ning, who escaped from the empire first, escaped with his life, and then His Majesty sent people to search for it in many ways, and finally found that Cai Ning was a pirate in the eastern seas, and also gathered a fairly good force." Later, somehow, the relationship between His Majesty and Cai Ning eased, Cai Ning promised never to return to the Wanliu Empire, and His Majesty did not embarrass him anymore, but just placed some eyes and ears around him, monitored at any time, and sometimes, gave Cai Ning some help, and Cai Ning's strength grew stronger and stronger, helping the empire to do some unsavory things. ”
