Chapter 118 The United States and Japan visit Saikyo
The United States and Japan are now in a deep predicament, with no way of knowing anything about each other, especially about their highly classified weapons development.
They had no idea whether these secret weapons had been successfully manufactured, what stage they were at, or how powerful they actually were. Faced with such a perplexing situation, neither country dared to act rashly, nor were they willing to simply wait indefinitely; they were truly anxious.
At this moment, a samurai from Japan couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to keep waiting like this indefinitely?"
The warrior was tall and imposing, with a dignified appearance. His hair was parted in two on the sides of his forehead, and the hair on the sides of his head was carefully tied into two buns, with the strands of hair hanging down from the buns pressed down on top of his head.
His attire was also very distinctive, with a belt around his waist. He usually wore a hunting robe paired with hakama as his everyday clothing. In addition, he wore various exquisite accessories such as a samurai hat, and his entire outfit perfectly showcased the style of a traditional samurai.
Upon hearing this, the American man standing to the side frowned deeply and replied helplessly, "At this point, besides waiting patiently, I really can't think of any other better way. The Crown Princess of Nanzhao is no ordinary person; her methods and schemes are unpredictable. Right now, our only option is to return first, truthfully report the situation here to the Emperor, and then make further plans." After speaking, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing deep worry and unease in each other's eyes.
The Japanese emperor's face was hideous, the muscles on his face twitching slightly with anger. He suddenly stood up and slammed his hands on the low table in front of him, making the tea set on the table clatter and make a crisp sound.
"Baka!" (I understand these two words, so I won't write them out!) His roar echoed through the empty palace, his voice filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Such an incompetent person has done something that has utterly disgraced Japan! And to lose twenty cities is an absolute disgrace!"
The American emperor sat to one side, his face equally gloomy. He tapped rhythmically on the armrest with his fingers, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
I originally thought this was just a simple diplomatic mission, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
He spoke coldly, his voice low and suppressed, "Your Majesty, we must re-examine the current situation. This Crown Princess of Nanzhao has become a huge obstacle to our plans."
The Japanese Emperor paced back and forth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. "We can't let this go. We must teach the Nanzhao Kingdom a lesson. Issue the order to summon the nation's most elite strategists and generals. I will devise a foolproof revenge plan to show them the consequences of provoking Japan!"
The American emperor nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "My country, the United States, will not let this go unpunished. We must now find a way to gather all the information about this Crown Princess, identify her weaknesses, and then defeat her in one fell swoop."
Just as they were frowning in worry, the American emperor's envoy also received the news and came to Japan together with the Japanese envoy.
The two messengers knelt on the ground, sweat pouring down their foreheads and their heads pressed to the ground.
"Yistrom, what exactly did you do? Not only did you fail to cause any trouble for the Nanzhao Kingdom, but you also needlessly lost twenty cities of our country! Why is this?" The American emperor roared in uncontrollable rage, his sharp, knife-like eyes glaring fiercely at Yistrom in front of him, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Faced with the enraged American emperor, Easton trembled and replied timidly, "Your Majesty, this matter is truly not my fault! Initially, our side was in a very favorable position, victory seemed imminent, but at the crucial moment, a crown princess from the Nanzhao Kingdom suddenly appeared. This woman is exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, truly no ordinary person! Not to mention her eloquent and eloquent writing, her fluency in various languages alone is astonishing. She even speaks our own language with ease."
At this point, Easton paused slightly, secretly glancing at the Emperor's expression, and saw that he did not react.
He then mustered his courage and continued, "Furthermore, the priceless piano that Your Majesty the American Emperor gifted to the Japanese Emperor can also be played with such grace and skill by this Crown Princess. The music she plays is truly heavenly; I have never heard such beautiful and melodious tunes in my entire life!"
At this moment, Qin Ji quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes! Lord Yistrom is absolutely right. That Crown Princess is truly exceptionally talented and keeps her abilities hidden! What's even more unexpected is that, according to the information we've gathered, the Nanzhao Kingdom seems to be secretly developing a new type of extremely powerful weapon. Unfortunately, before we could investigate further, our contact with our spies at the front was inexplicably severed." After saying this, Ga Yao Ji Zi shook her head helplessly.
This woman's musical skills are extraordinary; she is the top intelligence gatherer in the United States. She was sent there to suppress the Nanzhao Kingdom, but unexpected events have occurred.
Upon hearing the envoy's report, the American emperor's face grew increasingly grim, and he suddenly kicked over the low stool beside him.
The loud bang was particularly jarring in the silent palace.
"How could the Crown Princess of a mere Nanzhao Kingdom possess such abilities? What are you all good for!" The Empress's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with anger and resentment.
The Japanese Emperor was trembling with rage. He glared fiercely at the kneeling Princess Kayoko, "So many of you went, bringing so much advanced stuff, and you were completely fooled by a woman? She even said she could play the piano the American Emperor gave me. Isn't this an insult to both our countries?!"
The American Emperor and the Japanese Emperor exchanged a glance, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.
"No matter the cost, we must get our hands on this weapon's intelligence!" the American emperor said through gritted teeth.
The Japanese emperor nodded hastily, "At the same time, we should increase our infiltration into the areas surrounding the Nanzhao Kingdom, incite other forces to put pressure on the Nanzhao Kingdom, and divert their attention."
At the same time, the Japanese Emperor, standing to the side, was also furious. He glared at Himeko and roared, "Don't just stand there! Go and assist Istrang right now! If you mess this up again, don't blame me for being ruthless. It won't just be your problem; it will affect your whole family!"
Upon hearing this, Gayo Himeko trembled violently. Her already pale face turned even more bloodless. She knelt down with a thud, her body shaking uncontrollably, not daring to lift her head even once.
Meanwhile, in the Nanzhao Kingdom, Xiao Han appeared exceptionally relaxed and carefree.
He has nothing to worry about now, having everything from food to weapons. If we're talking about who's the richest, then it has to be Gu Liuli.
Her shops, hotels, hot pot restaurants, and beauty salons are always packed with customers, and her wealth is rolling in.
Returning to the Western Jing Kingdom, the sweet potato seeds brought back by the envoys sent out earlier have taken root and sprouted in this land, bearing abundant fruit.
The people happily planted these sweet potatoes, and after a period of careful tending, the first batch of sweet potatoes finally ripened.
Looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes, it goes without saying that the yield is extremely high, easily reaching tens of thousands of kilograms.
The people of Xijing were overjoyed, deeply grateful for the Emperor's benevolence, and filled with respect and love for him.
Just then, the soldiers guarding the palace outside the Western Jing Kingdom suddenly noticed several ornately decorated carriages slowly approaching from a distance.
