Taiken Miyamoto stood respectfully and said with a solemn expression: "Reporting to the general, the spies reported back that Emperor Komei took Noda Yoo and others to Li Zhen's barracks. Emperor Komei was stationed at Li Zhen's barracks. It didn’t take long before he brought his people back. According to people close to Emperor Xiaomei, Emperor Xiaomei brought people to visit Li Zhen in order to prove his innocence and to calm down Li Zhen’s anger. He didn’t want Li Zhen to make his gaffe worse.”
Miyamoto Yoshihiko asked: "What was the final result?"
Taiken Miyamoto shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the result."
Miyamoto Yoshihiko was silent for a moment, laughed, and said: "We are making trouble, and Emperor Takamei goes to wipe his butt. This is a good thing, and it is just right."
Taiken Miyamoto said: "I'm worried that Li Zhen will doubt us."
"So what if he is suspicious? Could it be that he wants to kill me? There is no evidence now. Everyone is suspicious. Even if Emperor Komei goes to prove his innocence, there is still suspicion." Miyamoto Yoshihiko smiled coldly and said: "Li If Zhen can't get evidence, he won't dare to do anything to me. Now it's confirmed that all the people who assassinated the commanders of the five countries are dead, and the clues have been taken away. It's absolutely impossible for us to be exposed. Under such circumstances, why should Li Zhen arrest us. "
After a pause, Miyamoto Yoshihiko said coldly: "If Li Zhen wants to use force, he has to consider the consequences of losing everything. I am sure that Li Zhen will not use force. It is absolutely foolproof. The whole thing is under my control." , there is no need to worry, what you have to do is to prepare for the marriage as soon as possible and wait for June 28 to marry Princess Hegong."
"As commanded."
Taiken Miyamoto's persuasion was ineffective and he sighed helplessly.
Miyamoto Yoshihiko couldn't listen to his suggestions, which made Miyamoto Taiken even more frustrated. Based on Miyamoto Taiken's understanding after coming into contact with Li Zhen, Li Zhen was a ruthless person, especially when dealing with enemies. There will be no mercy at all. The role he played has always been Li Zhen's subordinate, even Li Zhen's lackey in Japan. Now because of Miyamoto Yoshihiko, he has become opposed to Li Zhen and is no longer in the same camp as Li Zhen. People, it is very likely that we will fight with swords next.
Miyamoto Yoshihiko was walking a tightrope. He was worried, thinking about what he would do if the incident came to light. Miyamoto Taiken was worried but could not find a solution and could not change the situation. He reluctantly left the hall and prepared to get married. things.
…
The armies of the five countries entered Kyoto Prefecture and soon arrived outside Li Zhen's military camp.
The foreign soldiers stopped outside the camp. Everyone looked at Li Zhen's military camp. Training was taking place in the camp. The slogans were loud and loud, resounding through the sky, showing an invincible momentum. Allied Commander Michaels listened. Hearing the neat slogans and rhythmic songs coming from the military camp, his expressions changed slightly. The same was true for Cartel, Van Nilon and others, including soldiers from various countries.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is believing. Now that they saw the situation of Li Zhen Military Camp with their own eyes, their feelings were really different. Standing outside the camp, they had the feeling of facing a fortified city.
Max ordered: "Someone, go and inform Li Zhen that we are here."
"Yes." A soldier who could speak Chinese walked up and conveyed the words to the soldiers standing guard.
After the soldiers on guard reported back, a group of people soon came out.
The leader is clearly Li Zhen.
Li Zhen did not wear the Qing Dynasty court uniform or official hat. He appeared as a high-spirited and confident soldier. He was neatly dressed in military uniform, with a military cap and military boots. He strode out with his head held high and his chest straight. There was a faint smile on his strong cheeks, calm and calm, giving people a feeling of confidence. The people following Li Zhen were Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zhao Liewen and other civil and military generals, all striding away Come and show your unique military style.
Yang Jianhou has been following Li Zhen to protect Li Zhen's safety.
The team is neat and powerful, which is eye-catching.
With this appearance, Michaels, Cartel, Van Nilon and others were all overshadowed and became supporting roles.
Carter whispered: "It's well-deserved."
Max opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue, but he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, because he had to admit that the people on his side were even inferior, whether it was the spirit displayed by the soldiers or the uniforms worn by the soldiers. The military uniforms on my body are even worse.
Invisibly, they have already lost a piece of the puzzle.
Michaels is worthy of being a battle-hardened man with rich experience and excellent psychological quality. He recovered quickly. He took the initiative to greet me with a smile, stretched out his hand first and said in English: "Li, I'm glad to see you. "
Li Zhen shook hands with Michaels and replied in English: "Your Excellency, Michaels, welcome to your arrival."
Max smiled slightly and said: "Li, you are very young and handsome. If you come to England, you will definitely be a man who charms thousands of girls." Because of the assassination, Max actually had a grudge in his heart, but He didn't show it.
Li Zhen laughed and said: "Thank you, thank you."
Immediately, Carter reached out his hand and said: "I am Commander Carter of the US Army. Nice to meet you, Prince Li."
Li Zhen shook hands with Carter, and then shook hands with Van Nilon and others one by one, welcoming everyone. Li Zhen's fluent English really surprised the people present. It was Michaels, Carter. Er, Van Nilon and others knew that Li Zhen could speak English, but now they were surprised to hear it with their own ears.
Similarly, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others were also extremely surprised.
This was the first time they heard Li Zhen speak English. They only listened to Li Zhen talking to a group of people. They were confused and could only listen to the translator slowly relaying it. They could not follow Li Zhen's thinking because they could not understand Li Zhen. Zhen Zhen welcomed everyone into the army, and after settling the troops of the five countries, he led Max and his party to the conference room.
On both sides of the conference table, Li Zhen sat down in the left center of the conference table. On the left side was Zuo Zongtang. On the right side were Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zhao Liewen, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan and others. They sat down in sequence, one on the left and one on the right of the conference table. The position on the right is where the commanders of the five countries sit. Among them, Michaels sits in the middle opposite Li Zhen. On the left is Van Nilon, and on the right is the commander of the U.S. Army Carter. The rest of the people are also sitting one on the left and one on the right. Sit down, everyone is in place.
Li Zhen took the lead and said: "I would like to express my gratitude to the five of you who came from Nagasaki to Kyoto Prefecture to chat with me. At the same time, I would like to apologize for the fact that you were attacked on the way this time. I didn't expect that anyone would do it for you." I hope you will forgive me for trying to sow discord between us."
As soon as Li Zhen opened his mouth, he cut and beat him to reduce the seriousness of the matter.
Max raised his eyebrows, feeling that Li Zhen was difficult to deal with, because after Li Zhen's words came out, he could no longer force Li Zhen aggressively. Max took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then took something out of his pocket. Li took out a letter that was originally found on the black warrior, placed it in front of Li Zhen, and said: "Li, look at this letter, this is evidence."
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "It can't be me."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen pushed the letter aside without intending to open the envelope and read it.
