Chapter 660 Send me a map?
The heavy palace door slowly closed behind him, isolating himself from the noise of the outside world but locking the even heavier pressure inside the palace.
The members of the delegation walked into the main hall of the temporary palace trembling with fear, and were instantly horrified by the scene in the hall!
A figure was casually reclining in a wide chair, with one leg crossed lazily.
What was even more terrifying was that in the shadow behind the young prince, there were two terrifying beasts lying.
A gorgeous tiger!
The huge head is resting on the front paws, and the posture seems lazy, but the half-closed amber vertical pupils make people feel cold all over.
He was chewing fragments of something unknown in his mouth, and white debris popped out from time to time, which looked a bit like... human bones!
The other one was even more bizarre, it was a giant snow-white bear!
There are bears in Japan, but they are definitely not this huge.
It is like a moving snow mountain, its hair glowing silver in the light, and its temperament is wild and sacred.
The giant bear was not as obviously agitated as the tiger, but just lay there quietly.
But that huge body, and the deep black eyes that occasionally appeared under the slightly raised eyelids, brought a more primitive sense of oppression!
The tongue sticking out from time to time makes people feel chilled.
However, when everyone's eyes fell on the young prince standing between the two beasts, with eyes as deep as a cold pool, their hearts trembled even more violently.
The look was calm and composed, with a kind of indifference and scrutiny as if looking down on an ant.
It was as if I was not looking at a group of living people, but evaluating a group of animals to be slaughtered.
Amaterasu!
When had everyone ever seen such a majestic beast, not to mention that this beast was now squatting obediently beside a human?
Could it be that this Feng Wang Li Che possesses supernatural powers?!
Empress Fujiwara was at the end of the crowd and was also shocked by the scene before her. Her heart was pounding and a chill instantly ran up her spine.
But unlike the pure fear of others, the morbid obsession with power deep in her heart was instantly ignited under this extreme pressure.
She suppressed the urge to scream and stared at the young figure in the hall.
There was a hint of almost twisted excitement mixed with the fear.
A man who can drive such a ferocious beast is also so handsome.
I don't know if I can be whipped and trained by His Highness like those two beasts.
Everyone resisted the urge to collapse, and, led by the leading envoy, fell to their knees with a thud.
The trembling Japanese language, mixed with the stiff Daqing Mandarin, sounded:
"The Japanese envoy pays homage to His Royal Highness, the King of Daqing. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
Li Che seemed not to hear the uneven shouts. His lazy eyes casually swept among the kneeling crowd, and finally landed accurately on Empress Fujiwara.
A playful smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Empress Fujiwara's heart suddenly tightened.
He...he recognized me?!
However, Li Che quickly retracted his gaze and said lazily, "What do you want from me?"
The mastermind who was pushed out mustered up his last bit of courage, tremblingly took out a carefully framed scroll from his arms and held it high above his head.
Then he knelt down on his knees and took a few steps forward, and said in a crying voice:
"Your Highness, I have the permission to report that Japan...Japan has absolutely no intention of offending the sacred majesty of the Celestial Empire."
"Today's disaster is the work of the traitor Kaibu Munemasa alone! This wicked and ambitious man has committed treason, stealing Japan's military power and provoking border conflicts, thus incurring the wrath of the Celestial Empire!"
"Our Emperor and the Queen Mother...are being held hostage by them and are suffering terribly!"
"I sincerely hope...I sincerely hope that the Celestial Empire, considering Japan's generations of obedience, will uphold justice for our nation, execute this traitor, and restore order!"
He was in tears and his performance was heartfelt.
If Li Che had not been familiar with the nature of this species, he would have been fooled by him and thought how wronged they were.
After saying this, the messenger bowed deeply and held the scroll high in his hand:
"Our emperor has no more soldiers at his disposal and is unable to assist the royal army. This is a map of the four islands of Japan, detailing the mountains, rivers, and cities. I present it to Your Highness!"
"I wish to lend a helping hand to your army. The people of Japan will forever be grateful to your majesty for saving our country!"
After saying that, the messenger kowtowed deeply, pressed his head firmly to the ground, and raised his butt high.
The hall was dead silent, with only the heavy breathing of the two beasts echoing.
The playful smile on Li Che's face deepened.
He tilted his head slightly, as if he had heard something extremely funny.
The sound was not loud, but it clearly pierced the eardrums of every Japanese envoy:
"Oh? You Japanese are asking for help with nothing but your mouth and a roll of tattered paper?"
"Maybe it's because our customs are different. In Daqing, even when we visit relatives, we won't just bring these things."
He leaned forward slightly, and everyone felt an invisible pressure suddenly increase:
"This king led an army of two hundred thousand men across the sea. Our soldiers fought bloody battles before setting foot on this Japanese island."
"Now, with just a few words, you expect me to rid you of this great threat and restore peace to your world?"
"I have come all this way, but if I don't accept any tangible benefits, how can I be worthy of the soldiers who risked their lives? How can I be worthy of the countless people in the rear who have worked so hard to protect us?!"
The Japanese people were almost suffocated by Li Che's momentum, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down their foreheads.
"This picture is..."
"Shut up."
Li Che interrupted indifferently, his voice still not loud, but it frightened the mastermind so much that he trembled all over.
"Forget about your crap. Giving a map to the king of Daqing?"
"You're so smart! Haven't you heard of the saying 'the dagger is revealed when the picture is revealed'?!"
Li Che was right. The world has changed since the Warring States Period, and Zulong has not appeared, so there was no Jing Ke assassinating Qin.
Otherwise, considering how much these Japanese admire Chinese culture, how could they not know that maps are not allowed to be given as gifts?
Li Che sneered and continued:
"Japan is a small nation, ignorant of the etiquette of the Celestial Empire. I am too lazy to argue with you about these trivial matters."
He raised his hand and pointed at the wall behind him:
"Please open your dog eyes and take a good look behind me."
Everyone was so intimidated by Li Che's power that they didn't dare to look up, let alone look behind Li Che.
Only after hearing Li Che's order did he look up tremblingly.
There was a huge map hanging on the wall behind Li Che.
The map was so large that it almost covered the entire wall.
On it, the outlines of the four islands of Japan are extremely clear, and the direction of mountains and rivers, river veins, plains and valleys, forests and swamps are all clearly visible.
What is even more puzzling is that cities, ports, passes, and even important villages and towns are all precisely marked with different symbols and colors.
Dense notes, paths, and even some secret paths and resource points known only to the top Japanese officials are all clearly visible.
The map was so finely crafted and contained so much comprehensive information that it surpassed the treasured map in their hands by a hundred times.
It was like the entire Japanese country was laid bare in front of Li Che!
“This…this…” a minister cried out in shock, his face pale as death. “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
