The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 498
"I intend to appoint you to go to Seoul as the 'Negotiator for Peace' to negotiate peace with the Japanese." Looking at the man in front of him, Mo Xiaobai said, "You should also know the reason why Master Shi asked you to go with the army. You shouldn't be cold-hearted, right? .”

Peace envoy?

Shen Weijing's eyes flickered slightly, a little unexpected but recovered quickly.

What kind of material he is, he knows better than anyone else.

It is impossible to fight, and it is useless to be an official, but the ability to talk and read words can barely be called a master.

Letting myself negotiate a peace means trying to fool the Japanese?
"I don't know what your lord intends?"

"Hehe~ My brain is turning quickly. It is true that you are asked to negotiate a peace, and the conditions are very simple. As long as the Japanese get out of their hometown now and give up Tsushima Island, I will not hold them accountable for leading the army to commit crimes." Something happened."

Mo Xiaobai rubbed his wrists, with a smile on his eyes: "You talk with this bargaining chip. It's best for the Japanese to agree. If you don't agree, forgive them and dare not do anything to you."

To withdraw troops, but also to give up Tsushima Island?

Shen Weijing is not one of those little bastards who have never been out of the Central Plains in his life, he has opened his eyes, and when he heard Mo Xiaobai's 'condition', he was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

The admiral spoke so loudly, how could the Japanese agree?

If it is for this condition to go on a mission, Shen Weijing believes that even if he talks about it, it is impossible to gain anything.

But he just thought about it in his head, and soon came back to his senses.

Would the admiral not know something that even a little guy like himself knew?

Since it was an impossible condition and he had to go to Seoul by himself, then the real intention of the admiral was definitely not to really ask the Japanese to withdraw their troops.

"The villain understands that he should try his best to deal with it, and if he fails to achieve his goal, he will not return it to Pyongyang."

"En." Hearing Shen Weijing's answer, Mo Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction.

To use another word to explain it is 'delay'.

This old guy has a really good brain.

After confirming the person in charge of Yihe, Mo Xiaobai has to provide him with a complete set of 'outfit'.Given that this guy has the "guts" to dare to deceive the emperor and Shangguan, it is impossible for Mo Xiaobai to let him go alone, and he must send his subordinates to "supervise".

The candidate was also arranged long ago, and it was Liu Ye.

A day later, a 300-member troop dressed up as a Shangyihe mission, led by He Chun and Liu Ye, followed Shen Weijing from the South Gate of Pyongyang to Seoul, which was still occupied by the Japanese.

In order to keep a low profile, He Chun and Liu Ye dressed as ordinary schoolboys and counselors, but Shen Weijing was well-dressed and looked like a court minister.

Cross the Daedong River and enter Hwanghae-do, then enter Kaesong, and at the same time submit credentials again to Seoul in the south.

After only three to five days of travel, Shen Weijing came to the city of Seoul in a big way.

Outside the North City Gate, Kobayakawa Takakage of the Sixth Army, who was in charge of receiving the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, was a bad old man in his sixties.

'Bad old man' was Shen Weijing's first impression when he saw him, but in fact Kobayakawa Takakage's status in Japan is not low. Seeing the arrival of the Ming envoy, he immediately stepped forward and said:
"Presumably, Your Excellency is Mr. Shen."

"I'm Shen Weijing, who are you?"

"Old Takakage Kobayakawa, the acting general will come out of the city to welcome your Excellency into the city."

"Ah."

Different from the restraint and humility when meeting Mo Xiaobai, Shen Weijing now showed arrogance: "Lead the way ahead, first take me and the mission to the city to stay, and I will call on your general tomorrow."

"Please." Kobayakawa Longjing glanced at the sky just after noon, and swallowed back what he was about to say.

Seeing that the old Japanese man was very interesting, Shen Weijing hecked twice, shook his robe and immediately stepped into Seoul.

As a person who has been in merchants, markets, and places of the three religions and nine streams all year round, observing words and demeanor is an essential skill, and he has a little mind to assess the situation. Of course he understands that no matter how he pretends now, the Japanese will have to bear it.

Just because Konishiyuki's head was completely wiped out in Pyongyang!
These Japanese daimyos are intriguing all day long, they will not feel grief and indignation for the death of Chief Konishi, they will only be shocked by the mighty military front of the Celestial Dynasty.

Knowing this, Shen Weijing led his orders to go south.

Entering Seoul along Chengmen Street, Shen Weijing was quickly welcomed into a well-prepared post.There is no dilapidation or war atmosphere inside, and even the servants are specially selected young Korean women.

"Shu Tan!"

The stove in the room had already been prepared, Shen Weijing took off his snow-stained robe, sat down on the big chair, and couldn't help admiring.

"Master Shen, are you satisfied with this residence?"

"It's still a job, as long as it's comfortable."

Anyway, bragging is not a crime, Shen Weijing of course said it happily: "Get some delicious food and drink to entertain my mission. You have to understand that I came to the peace talks with sincerity."

"This is necessary, you must rest assured."

"Okay, you go down, I'll take a break first, let's talk about business tomorrow morning."

Shooing Kobayakawa away like driving away his servants, Shen Weijing rubbed his hands, and immediately poured three cups of hot tea: "My lords, please."

He Chun and Liu Ye watched him perform the whole time, and after looking at each other and nodding, they also took their teacups.

"It's not that I'm avoiding work because I'm not talking directly today. First, we just arrived, so we can't be too enthusiastic. Second, we don't know what's going on in the city, so it's not good to negotiate rashly."

Shen Weijing could show embarrassment to the Japanese, but he didn't dare to put on airs to Mo Xiaobai's civil and martial arts, and explained: "In order for the peace talks to go smoothly tomorrow, I still need some support from the two adults."

"Before we leave, my lord, you are in charge of the peace talks. You just say, we will handle it." Of course Liu Ye understood these principles, and immediately answered.

"Well, I'm not going to be polite. I'm here to put it bluntly, to be careful, so I want to know how many Japanese soldiers and horses there are in the city, and it's best to find out their food situation."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Liu Ye didn't refuse, he understood the meaning of the Lord's sending him here.Not only 'supervision', but also to spy on the military situation.

There are some things that Shen Weijing doesn't say, but he still wants to do.

"What about me?" He Chun asked immediately after listening to the conversation between Shen and Liu.

Shen Weijing thought for a while and asked, "Maybe you drink, my lord?"

"My lord, is there anyone who doesn't drink wine and meat?"

He Chun was straight-minded, and quickly replied, but when Shen Weijing said the next sentence, his entire face darkened.

That night, Daming Yi and the guerrilla general who accompanied the mission got drunk, so that they had a great time.

It wasn't until the second day when the sun came out and Shen Weijing was going to see Ukita Hideo's house that he walked out of the house with a drunken look.

This matter spread ten or ten times, and it didn't take an hour for the whole city to know about it.

After receiving the news, some of the famous names in the Wa country breathed a sigh of relief, some showed disdain, and more of them put on smiles.

It seems that Daming is satisfied with sending such a peace negotiation mission, and has no intention of making progress.
