Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 466. Beheading
"So according to what you said, you are the messenger of Yamatai, Shao Yanming?"

Feng Xi sat in the big tent in the army, watching the two people being brought into the tent by the guards. One of them looked like a brainless reckless man who couldn't even speak complete Chinese, and was obviously a guard. The young man next to him looked elegant and had what later generations called a weak temperament, but he spoke in Mandarin, and was obviously an envoy.

"That's right. I, the Lord Himiko of Yamatai, heard about the arrival of the heavenly soldiers from the upper kingdom, and sent me to greet you all. I wonder why you have come all the way from the Han Dynasty?"

Shao Yanming was not polite either. Although his words sounded extremely respectful, there was a sense of accountability in them.

"Haha, since you can speak Mandarin, you should also know that during the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the Wa Nu Kingdom sent envoys to pay a visit to Emperor Guangwu, right?"

Feng Xi smiled slightly and was about to start talking about the reasons for sending troops.

"I've heard of it."

Shao Yanming nodded. This matter was not a secret among the high-ranking officials of the Japanese island. Everyone was well aware of the existence of the big man.

"Since you know this, why did you rebel and dismember the Wa country?! We, the Han people, are here not for anything else but to seek justice for the Wa country and help it put order out of chaos!"

Feng Xi's expression suddenly became serious, and he began to denounce the Japanese island countries that were now scattered into pieces, as if he had really come here to fight against the treacherous villains.

Feng Xi's words made Shao Yanming silent for a while. Brother, you said you wanted to avenge the Wa country? The Wa country has been gone for almost a hundred years, do you dare to find a more recent excuse? Even if they didn't pay tribute, I would think it was justified. It's too ridiculous to eliminate the rebellion for the Wa country.

"General, as far as I know, your Han Dynasty was unified during the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The change of dynasties is a natural thing. Besides, the Wa Kingdom has been gone for a hundred years."

Shao Yanming thought about it and decided to use the example of the late Qin Dynasty when the Han Dynasty achieved great success, hoping that the Han army general in front of him could understand the truth of what he was saying.

However, there is a saying that goes, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. Could Feng Xi not know that his excuse was just a shirking of responsibility? But an excuse doesn't need to be useful, just having it is enough.

"How dare you! How dare you, a traitor, compare yourself to Emperor Gaozu! I think your envoy is just a flatterer, and you dare to challenge the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Come, take down the sacrificial flag for me!"

Feng Xi pretended to be irritated by Shao Yanming, and simply slammed the table and ordered his men to arrest him. After a few words with Shao Yanming, Feng Xi immediately found that Shao Yanming was definitely a powerful figure in the Japanese island. He could use the events of the late Qin Dynasty as arguments and quote classics, which was a thousand times better than those empty-headed Japanese people.

If we can kill him here, it will be like cutting off an arm of the enemy. As for why we don't capture him and torture him slowly? Feng Xi knows that this kind of person has a firm mind and it is definitely not possible to pry open his mouth with ordinary means. Why would we need him after a long time? I estimate that I have conquered the four countries.

Although Shikoku Island is not as chaotic as Kyushu, the level of the Island Slave Kingdom is not much different from those countries on Kyushu Island. If it weren't for the fact that Shikoku has a larger area and more hills, Feng Xi estimated that he could take over Shikoku Island in three to five days.

"Baga! Kounoya!"

Tenshou Rikio, who was standing by, saw that Feng Xi had a bad look on his face and slammed the table and shouted something. Although he didn't understand Chinese, his intuition told him that the other party was going to turn against him, so he immediately drew the long sword from his waist and began to threaten Feng Xi.

Feng Xi simply disdained Tenshou Rikiyo, because a master like Feng Xi had already seen through the opponent's steps, posture and movements since he entered the tent.

This person is at most a third-rate or second-rate person. He has some understanding of martial arts and may have created a school of his own. However, in Feng Xi's opinion, he is basically not good enough. Not to mention threatening Feng Xi, even if twenty ordinary Han soldiers were to find him, he would not be able to escape.

Now he couldn't tell the difference between the big and small kings, and dared to draw his sword in the tent. He had already been killed. "Well, you dared to draw your sword in front of me. It seems that you came here as envoys, but you really intended to assassinate me! Where is Bao Yi! Capture these two bold assassins!"

Shao Yanming had never seen such a shameless person before. Not only did he turn against him, but he also turned the tables and put the blame on himself.

"General, when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. Moreover, I, Yamatai, have no grudge against your army. Now my death is a minor matter. If your army offends me, Yamatai, I am afraid it will be difficult to move forward on the entire Japanese island..."

Shao Yanming still wanted to appeal to his feelings and reason, but he didn't know that Feng Xi was just like Liu Huaqiang who came to buy melons, and he didn't bother to listen to his explanation. Provoking, picking a fight? I came here specifically to pick a fight, how can I be afraid of you?

"Haha, then don't bother Mr. Shao Yanming to worry about me. Just worry about whether your body will be eaten by the vicious dogs in the mountains."

Feng Xi responded with a fake smile. Bao Yi and his guards had already entered the tent with swords in hand, staring at them eagerly. As long as Feng Xi gave the order, they would chop the two men into pieces.

"Tenshuriki, hold this general hostage!"

Seeing that Feng Xi was really going to break up with him, Shao Yanming pointed at Feng Xi and gave him an order in Japanese. Although Tenshu Rikiyo might not be able to defeat so many soldiers, in this small space, with the Han general on the opposite side less than ten meters away from him, it was not difficult to hold the opponent's main general hostage and leave with him as a hostage. Shao Yanming even thought of arrangements to hold the other party hostage to see Himiko.

"Hi!"

Tenshou Lixiong shouted loudly, and danced his long sword like a broadsword and rushed straight towards Feng Xi.

"Grand Governor!"

Although Bao Yi knew that the Grand Commander would probably be fine, he still couldn't help but shout loudly, causing Shao Yanming to mistakenly believe that he had guessed correctly. He did not pay any attention to the gloating eyes of the Han soldiers.

"Snapped!"

Feng Xi kicked the small wooden table in front of him and flew it towards Tenshu Rikiyo who was rushing towards him. Tenshu Rikiyo naturally didn't take this ordinary small wooden table seriously. With a swipe of his sword, he split the small wooden table in two.

However, when his vision was restored, Tenshou Rikio was shocked to find that the Han general who had just sat in front of him was nowhere to be seen. While he was still in shock, Shao Yanming behind him shouted, "Be careful!"

Before Tenshu Rikio could react, a long sword came directly at him from the left side. The sharp blade effortlessly split Tenshu Rikio's head and body into two.

"Varied……!"

Although Shao Yanming himself had no martial arts skills, he had seen Tenshu Rikio and Susano fight every day, so he had some knowledge. Tenshu Rikio could not see the actions of the Han general just now, but he saw them clearly.

The opponent was too fast. He kicked the table, stood up, drew his sword, and beheaded him, all in one go without any unnecessary movements.
