Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 143 Internal infighting! Go negotiate!
This sudden 'order' was actually like telling Zhang Chonghui directly - just go and die.

There is no difference.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Sigong was the first to hold down Zhang Jianxiu, fearing that this bad-tempered ancestor would rush up and beat Shen Weijing in front of so many Koreans out of anger.

Qin Liangyu also clenched her palms slightly. She looked at Zhang Chonghui, only to find that he was still very calm and even had the time to look at the surrounding scenery.

Liu Chenglong and the other North Korean officials on the side did not have much reaction, because he knew that this trip was just a meat bun beating a dog. If the young deputy envoy really went to Pyongyang, he would definitely not be able to come back.

At the same time, Zhang Chonghui turned his eyes that were originally looking around to Shen Weijing and asked lightly:

"I'm going to Pyongyang, so what are you going to do?"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone present smelled an invisible smell of gunpowder, but only 'two people' quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The only two people left were Zhang Jianxiu and Qin Liangyu. They were all relieved that Zhang Chonghui had 'rejected' and 'sent himself to death' in Pyongyang City.

Zhang Chonghui's question was very subtle. He seemed to be questioning Shen Weijing, but he asked in the calmest tone.

Inside the tent.

Zhang Jianxiu's anger hasn't been vented yet, but after yelling for a long time without getting any 'feedback', he really couldn't stop scolding him. He just waited for his eldest nephew to answer the question before fighting again!
"Are you done?" Zhang Chonghui looked at Zhang Jianxiu with a calm tone.

As soon as he arrived at the arranged residence, Zhang Jianxiu anxiously came to Zhang Chonghui's camp and firmly opposed the 'ridiculous decision' made by Zhang Chonghui in front of everyone:
"It's clear that there is no return for meat buns and dogs! Are you stupid enough to go? Or go alone? No! I don't agree with anything about this! You are the only bloodline of my eldest brother! I can say anything. I don’t agree with you to go!”

Zhang Jianxiu's fists were clenched, and he was secretly thinking that when he got to a place where no one was around, he would have to give this old guy a good beating to vent his anger on his nephew!
At the same time, Liu Chenglong was even more shocked and despaired when he learned that Zhang Chonghui was only 'fourteen years old'!

Co-author Is this still a doll?
Liu Chenglong originally thought that Zhang Chonghui just looked younger. Looking at his posture and temperament, he must be in his twenties no matter what, but he didn't expect that he was only fourteen years old?

"Of course, this is my duty as deputy envoy." Zhang Chonghui nodded and then added strangely: "Is it possible that you still expect Ambassador Shen to go in person to discuss affairs?"

"Fourth Uncle, you know me. I have my own decisions about everything. I hate it when others use morality to kidnap me. If you want to talk about these useless nonsense again, don't blame me for killing your relatives for the sake of justice."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Weijing said to Zhang Chonghui: "Deputy Ambassador Zhang, you are serious. I just asked for your opinion. If you are afraid of going, just say so. I won't force you to do it, right? How about this, tomorrow I will go to Pyongyang in person, and you can stay here, after all, you are still young."

The Ming Dynasty actually sent a 'baby' as an envoy? What about teasing them?
So much bad news came one after another, and Liu Chenglong's heart was gradually dying amidst the deafening complaints.

Faced with Zhang Jianxiu's violent opposition, Zhang Chonghui did not answer directly. He only waved his hands and said, "I want to take a bath first and then take a bath for a while. You can go out first."

"Ah?" Liu Chenglong was really surprised this time: "No... Deputy Ambassador Zhang, are you really going?"

However, Zhang Jianxiu, who heard this plain threat, suddenly changed from his previous violent and angry attitude, and instead became stunned.

At worst, our uncle and nephew will die together in this foreign country! It’s better than going back and facing your mother without face! your dad! Your grandfather’s spirit in heaven! "

What? Only fourteen?

Zhang Chonghui ignored the other party's weird reaction and just said it again.

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Chonghui would 'naturally' refuse such a 'death' request, something unexpected happened.

Even though he had opinions in his heart, Shen Weijing was still Shen Weijing after all. Even though he reacted very quickly, he laughed loudly, put his arm around Zhang Chonghui's shoulders, and said to Liu Chenglong:
"I hope the leader will not laugh when discussing politics. My deputy envoy is still young. He has to go through such a big trial at the age of fourteen. It is normal for him to complain."

At this point, Liu Chenglong can almost conclude that the so-called Great Tomorrow will not 'really' extend a helping hand to North Korea...

At this moment, the image of a timid young man who was only fourteen years old and had a small belly was instantly established by Shen Weijing.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Chenglong couldn't help but feel embarrassed...

Faced with such a 'deliberate' question, Shen Weijing just smiled and said, "Of course I have my own things to do."

Liu Chenglong no longer cares who goes. Anyway, it's the same no matter who goes. Whoever goes will just die in vain. Whoever goes...his country will perish...

At this point, Liu Chenglong has almost concluded that the country's subjugation is inevitable...

"Are you crazy? Do you want to go alone?"

……

Everything happened so suddenly and quickly that Liu Chenglong almost didn't react. He was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly answered:
"I'm sorry. I've already arranged my accommodation. I'm rude. It's because of the country's hatred and family hatred. I hope the messenger from heaven won't blame me."

Shen Weijing's strange words not only revealed the fact that Zhang Chonghui was only fourteen years old, but also "derogated" him.

Zhang Chonghui seemed to be just talking about 'normal' things like eating and drinking water, and he accepted this life-threatening request lightly. At the end, he did not forget to say to Liu Chenglong:
"In charge of political affairs, we have been traveling for several days and come from afar. It's time for you to arrange a place for us to rest, right?"

"Understandable." Zhang Chonghui nodded and arranged: "In addition, please ask the leader to prepare the horses and luggage so that I can rush to Pyongyang tomorrow."

I only know roughly that the one who finally went to Pyongyang to 'negotiate' seemed to be the young deputy envoy who was only fourteen years old.

Such an answer is no different than no answer.

"go out."

"Oh, it's getting late today. I'll go to Pyongyang tomorrow morning."

"Not finished!" Zhang Jianxiu accepted the words in anger, but just when he was about to continue 'outputting', something he never imagined happened happened!

Zhang Chonghui took out a thin wooden stick from somewhere. While weighing it in his hand, his expression suddenly turned cold.

But what about him? Where is his family? And what about the millions of North Korean people?
What should they do...

It was just a very ordinary threat. If it were another elder who was threatened like this by a junior, it is no surprise that he would have been served by the 'filial fist' at this moment.

When he thought that his country would die like this, at the hands of the Japanese, his king would be able to take his family across the river and take refuge in Liaodong.

"I'm almost dead! Why don't you wash your ass!" Zhang Jianxiu was still very angry and shouted loudly:
"I finally know why you asked me to come to North Korea! You asked me to collect your body!"
I tell you! It’s impossible to collect the body! If you insist on going to die! Then I will never go back alive!

Shen Weijing never expected that Zhang Chonghui would openly challenge him in front of so many North Korean 'outsiders'!
The family scandal should not be made public, this boy is too ignorant!

With the country's demise imminent, Liu Chenglong was desperate, so desperate that even what Shen Weijing and Zhang Chonghui said next, he didn't quite listen.

……

Outside the tent.

"Sizhe, Zhang Sizhe? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhang Jianxiu walking out of the tent like a godless man, Luo Sigong, who had been waiting outside for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

However, no matter how he asked, Zhang Jianxiu didn't answer. He only shook his head and nodded dullly, and muttered something in a low voice.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Luo Sigong was so surprised that he blurted out: "Have you seen a ghost?"

"Ghost?" Zhang Jianxiu finally looked at Luo Sigong. His dull eyes turned into panic at this moment.

Seeing Zhang Jianxiu's evil look, Luo Sigong asked in panic: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Is your evil nephew bullying you? I'll teach him a lesson for you! Damn it, I'm sorry. Just see how unhappy he is!"

With that said, Luo Sigong rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush into the camp and beat up Zhang Chonghui! "Wait!" Zhang Jianxiu hurriedly stopped Luo Sigong. The panic on his face had disappeared, and was replaced by calmness and even fear.

In the end, Zhang Jianxiu said helplessly: "That's it, if he wants to go, just let him go..."

Those who were supposed to leave were left behind by him.

How can we keep him if he shouldn't leave?

……

The next day, it was dark.

Liu Chenglong got up very early because he couldn't sleep.

After all, the country and the family are gone. Who can sleep well at this time?

Looking at the dark sky outside the camp, the current 'prime minister' of North Korea sighed and prepared to stand up.

With a limited humanitarian spirit, Liu Chenglong decided to personally send off the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty who was going to Pyongyang to "die" today.

……

"What? Deputy Ambassador Zhang has left? Or did he leave alone?"

Liu Chenglong was shocked when he received such news. He originally thought that he had gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chonghui got up even earlier than him!
After decades of living, Liu Chenglong met someone like Zhang Chonghui who was so eager to die for the first time!

"Alas..." Liu Chenglong couldn't help but sigh: "I want to ask a few more people to send him off so that he can collect his body..."

……

at the same time.

Shen Weijing also woke up. It was one thing not to be able to sleep because he was old, but the most important thing was that he was not used to being in a strange environment.

"What? Deputy Ambassador Zhang has already set off?"

After receiving the news, Shen Weijing was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled knowingly.

The reason why Shen Weijing laughed was because he had already guessed that Zhang Chonghui's trip to Pyongyang was not actually a 'really' trip to Pyongyang.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Chonghui insist on going to Pyongyang 'alone'?

Aren’t you afraid that if someone follows you, your secret will be exposed?
And the most important thing is that the "sealed official document" symbolizing the "Ming Dynasty" is still hidden in Shen Weijing's hand. Without such an "important" thing, how could the Japanese slaves believe that Zhang Chonghui is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty?
Just based on that silly diplomatic token? Or the dog-like diplomat uniform?

These are not enough!
Shen Weijing has known Zhang Chonghui for more than half a year. For this not-so-simple fourteen-year-old boy, he 'thinks' he understands him quite well.

Shen Weijing even guessed that Zhang Chonghui's 'so-called' trip to Pyongyang this time was probably just to go out for a walk, run a horse race, and then come back to make up some nonsense.

After all, who would die in vain?
But who can't make up lies?
Shen Weijing actually wanted to randomly assign a "bodyguard" to deliver official documents to Pyongyang City, and then go to Pyongyang himself after receiving a response from the Japanese army.

As expected, a so-called deputy envoy named Zhang Chonghui suddenly appeared on the way.

It's better to let a "silly young man" go to the front to "make a fool of himself"! Such a 'comparison between the two'! It even more shows the vastness of Shen Weijing's magical powers!
By then, not only the King of North Korea will be impressed by him! Song Jinglue, Shi Shangshu, and even His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Everyone can see Shen Weijing's 'real ability'!
A reward of ten thousand taels of silver? Hereditary earl?
He Shen Weijing wants more than this!

"The sword buries injustice, and the loyal soul surrounds the white clouds."

Shen Weijing couldn't help but feel sad and bitter when he recalled the 'that person' who had been kind to him, but who ended up committing suicide in an unjust prison.

"Hu Butang...I will definitely not let you down!"

……

the other side.

Zhang Chonghui, who had only set out ten miles away, was quickly overtaken by someone coming from behind.

"Zhensu? Why are you here?"

Zhang Chonghui was a little surprised. He had even expected that Zhang Jianxiu would come after him, but he did not expect that Qin Liangyu would come after him.

"I will go with you!"

Qin Liangyu pulled the reins and smiled broadly. She expected that Zhang Chonghui would persuade her to go back, so she said in advance:
"You don't have to persuade me, I want to do it myself!"

"But just in case..."

"So what if? I want to give it a try! Didn't you say so! So what if it fails? How will you know if you don't try? Damn the whole world!"

On the horizon, the sun slowly rises.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines feebly on the barren land of North Korea, looking a little melancholy. However, it is the girl who is smiling radiantly, showing her heroic figure, confident and flamboyant.

Zhang Chonghui didn't say anything more, he just turned around, whipped his horse, and headed towards Pyongyang City.

Silence was better than sound, Qin Liangyu immediately rode up to follow.

……

More than ten miles outside Pyongyang.

Looking at the collapsed and burned houses around him and the broken corpses everywhere, Zhang Chonghui stopped his horse.

"There should be Japanese slaves around here."

Zhang Chonghui took out the map as he spoke, looking at it while analyzing the specific location here.

Qin Liangyu also stopped her horse when she heard this, and the panic in her eyes was clear. Even though she had practiced swords and guns since she was a child, and had seen wars with her own eyes, most of them were just small fights in the village.

It was the first time she had seen such large swathes of dead people, strewn about in a horrifying mess...

It was already afternoon, and after being exposed to the scorching sun at noon, the air was exuding an unspeakable stench!
This is the smell of death! This is the smell of war!
"vomit……"

A gust of hot wind carried a very strong stench, which happened to be breathed in by Qin Liangyu. She couldn't help but retched.

It is no exaggeration to say that compared with the smell of the battlefield, the latrine smells delicious.

"Don't you think it stinks?" Qin Liangyu couldn't help but admire Zhang Chonghui's nose. In such a stinky environment, the other party's expression was extremely calm, as if he couldn't smell anything.

"My nose is not very good." After Zhang Chonghui finished his perfunctory explanation, he put away the map and pointed in a direction: "That is the north gate of Pyongyang City, which is the closest to us. Let's go there."

After Zhang Chonghui finished speaking, he rode forward.

However, after taking only a few steps, he stopped again.

Because not far ahead, Japanese pirates appeared!
