At this point, Eiko Yokoyama suddenly became excited, clutching the item tightly and refusing to give it back. "Sister, can you give this to me? I tried it out today, and it's really powerful, but my technique wasn't accurate enough, so I couldn't hit anyone."
"You used it to hit someone? Who gave you permission to act recklessly?" Yokoyama Chiyo's face was cold and her tone was icy. She stared at the other person with a sinister look.
"Didn't I tell you it's only for hunting birds and beasts, or for playing with in secluded places? Why did you expose it like this? Don't you have a brain? Did you even listen to what I said?"
Eiko Yokoyama shuddered involuntarily. She had never been so afraid of this older sister before, but ever since her father drove her and her three children out of Japan, they had been able to survive on this older sister.
Starting three years ago, my sister seemed to have suddenly become a different person. Not only did her kung fu become the best in the East, but she also became much more ruthless than before. Before, my sister was just a puppet assassin, a knife in my father's hand, and she listened to my father in everything.
Unfortunately, no matter how obedient she was, she was not good at martial arts and her mother failed in the palace intrigue, so she was directly abandoned by her father and almost executed along with her. At that time, her sister could not even speak a word of defense. She was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, a person who could not utter a word even if you hit her three times.
Later, she suddenly erupted in prison, not only killing the jailer but also rescuing her mother, herself, and her brother. She then challenged all the Japanese samurai, and none of them could defeat her.
Unfortunately, their father, influenced by his favorite concubine's instigation, still couldn't tolerate the four of them and wanted to expel them. However, considering that his sister was the number one warrior, their father gave them a large ship and put a lot of food on it so that they wouldn't starve to death.
Before leaving, looking at the Eastern Island, Yokoyama Chiyo sneered and murmured, "One day I will return here, and all those who have wronged me will die. I will make you pay a heavy price. Just you wait and see."
During the more than six months they drifted at sea, whenever Yokoyama Eiko and Yokoyama Ichiro dared to disobey, Yokoyama Chiyo would beat them up severely and even threaten to throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.
She wouldn't even listen to Guiguxi, who was the original owner's mother, a woman who was not very bright but ambitious.
In short, during the six months at sea, the family of three was completely subservient to Yokoyama Chiyoharu and dared not disobey her. When she said she wanted to change Yokoyama Ichiro's face so that he could impersonate Prince Cheng of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yokoyama Ichiro swallowed his anger and let her operate on his face.
When Yokoyama Chiyo said she wanted to develop some kind of cannon or fire-breathing gun, he cooperated with her to capture people to do work. This is why Yokoyama Ichiro went around burning, killing, and looting.
Although Yokoyama Chiyo only said to recruit strong laborers and did not ask him to kill or rob, Yokoyama Ichiro harbored resentment. He was controlled by someone else and had to listen to a woman in everything. Now that he had become a prince, even if it was an imposter, he held all the power in the palace.
He was in a bad mood, and besides, he had always been cruel. The reason he acted so quiet and obedient in front of Yokoyama Chiyo was because he couldn't beat her and had to let her do whatever she wanted to save his life.
But when she couldn't see him, he could do whatever he wanted. She forbade him to kill the fishermen, but he insisted on doing so, regardless of whether it would alert the enemy or ruin his grand plan to dominate the world.
No matter how much he snatches, it will eventually fall into that woman's hands. If he doesn't take advantage of her before she becomes absolutely powerful, he may never have another chance.
Every time I see the Yokoyama Chiyo siblings, my feelings are extremely complicated. I both resent and fear her, but for the time being, I am helpless against her.
"Those two people were trying to harm my brother. I didn't have time to think before I opened fire. I really didn't think much at the time..." Yokoyama Eiko lowered her head, shrinking herself into a quail, hoping that Yokoyama Chiyo wouldn't take it too seriously, otherwise she would definitely suffer a lot again.
After staring at the top of her head for a moment, Yokoyama Chiyo said expressionlessly, "Did anyone come to search the place at the time? I mean, were there any government officials?"
“My brother is a prince. Even if government officials come, no one will dare to enter the mansion to search it.”
That's true. Since this matter hasn't affected her, she can let it go for now. Getting her cheap brother's face fixed is more important right now.
"You help him out and fix his face first. We'll talk about it later."
She was busy until almost dawn, and Yokoyama Chiyo told her brother to leave the forest immediately and return to the palace so as not to get in her way.
Leaving Yokoyama Eiko alone, she said, "The people we sent out have found out the details of that Great Jin princess. She was kidnapped as a child and ended up in the south, living for two years in a small village in Nanyang Prefecture, where her adoptive parents lived."
Pack your things immediately and go with your mother tomorrow. For now, do nothing but keep an eye on the princess's foster parents.
"Just my mother and I going?" Yokoyama Eiko asked somewhat uneasily.
Chiyo Yokoyama glanced at her sideways. "You're a Japanese samurai, and your skills are not weak. Your mother is not an unsophisticated woman either. What's there to be afraid of?"
"We don't have enough money on us." Yokoyama Eiko glanced up at her quickly, then immediately lowered her head again.
"Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it. Just listen to me and get things done." After giving these instructions, Yokoyama Chiyo sent the man away.
Well, she was exhausted after a whole night of fussing and had no mood to operate on anyone's face anymore. The real Prince Cheng was lucky to escape this ordeal and save his own face.
As dawn broke, Zhu Qiuyu, Zhu Xichen, and Zhu Yueran returned from outside. The three of them were dressed in black outfits and wearing bamboo hats, but even so, they were still covered in dew.
