"Whatever the princess wants to know, I will tell you the truth as long as I know it," Yokoyama said politely.
“Listen to that, are those people speaking your Japanese language?” Xingxing pointed to the distant mountain.
Yokoyama's eyes flashed, and he listened carefully. After a long while, he confirmed, "They're not from the East. They sound like they're from another small country not far from the East. Hmm, could it be that our island has been moved to a place closer to the East?"
Yokoyama Chiyo belatedly realized what was happening, and her expression instantly became subtle.
Xingxing sensed something was off about the other person's expression, as if he was about to cause trouble at any moment. So she tightly grasped the boy's hand, leaned close to him, and whispered, "Yokoyama is going to pull something again. You can tell from her expression."
"No, don't misunderstand. I have no dealings with these small countries and am not familiar with them. Even the Japanese imperial family doesn't like me. I was just wondering what they were doing. Perhaps we can cooperate to wipe out these Japanese pirates and then seize their resources," Yokoyama suggested earnestly.
"Don't mention cooperation again. Give up. We don't want anything to do with you." Zhu Lin refused without even thinking.
Before Yokoyama could say anything more, Hoshino firmly replied, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I will not cooperate with a Japanese pirate."
“I’ve already told you I’m not Japanese,” Yokoyama said, choking back a sob at Hoshino’s distrustful look. “Forget it, I can’t explain it to you. If you don’t want to cooperate, fine. I’ll just go it alone.”
"If you dare to play any tricks, I'll kill you," Xingxing threatened, brandishing her fist.
Yokoyama looked at her small fists and almost laughed. Just her?
“That’s right, I’ll kill you.” As if to support Xingxing, Zhu Lin added.
Yokoyama was speechless. Frustrated, he turned and left, quickly heading towards the other side of the mountain.
"Brother Lin, should we wait until she's finished fighting before we go over? That way we can save some energy." Xingxing wanted Hengshan to fight those Japanese pirates to the death, while she and Zhu Lin would wait in the wings.
Zhu Lin chuckled and said, "Hyoyama isn't that stupid. She'll definitely use strategy. She won't risk her life alone. We'll play it by ear."
"We'll seize their ships, then head back to the Great Jin Dynasty. On our way out, we'll kill Hengshan to prevent her from harming the people of the Great Jin Dynasty again," Xingxing said angrily.
“Alright, we’ll kill her when we leave.” Zhu Lin nodded in agreement. This female Japanese pirate was difficult to deal with; it would be easier to kill her.
Yokoyama was lying in the grass, looking at a cave in the distance. There were four people guarding the entrance to the cave. It was dark inside and he couldn't see what was going on. Not far from the cave was a rather large house, from which came the sound of clanging and hammering.
It sounds like she's forging iron. The scene is similar to her mine. She needs to make cannons and forge weapons, which requires a lot of iron and silver. There are mines and blacksmith shops.
According to the original owner's memories, if she was not mistaken, these people should be Koreans from not far from the East. Considering that there were quite a few silver mines in Korea in history.
If we can snatch it, we'll make a fortune. However, there's a princess from the Great Jin Dynasty and a highly skilled young man behind her, which makes things a bit tricky.
Chiyo Yokoyama pulled out the only two fire-breathing weapons she had, her eyes darkening. If she were alone, she could actually try to subdue everyone on the island. She was 70% confident, not only because of her martial prowess, but also because of these two fire-breathing weapons.
She realized that it was impossible to split the silver mine with the other party, and a deadly battle was inevitable in the end. She couldn't beat Zhu Lin, but with the help of these two fire-breathing weapons, she could put up a fight.
As night fell, the people in the mine continued to work tirelessly. No one had left; they had simply changed shifts. This was infuriating. Yokoyama thought that it was already perverted enough that she had brought the 996 work culture from later generations to ancient times.
I never imagined that the ancients could be so ruthless. They even knew to implement two shifts. Later generations had electric lights, but in ancient times, they only had torches and lanterns for lighting. Working in the mines was dark and dangerous. The King of Goryeo was utterly inhuman.
When the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) arrived, Hengshan could no longer contain herself and quickly approached the mine under the cover of night. She was wondering whether she should seal off the mine so that everyone inside would die. After eliminating the people in the mine, she could then deal with the people down the mountain.
"Look what Hengshan is doing. It looks like she's poisoning the mine. She's trying to kill everyone in the mine. Tsk, her methods are really ruthless." Xingxing was conflicted, wondering whether she should go over and stop her.
After thinking about it, I realized that everyone in the mine was a Japanese pirate. When the Japanese pirates came to the Great Jin Dynasty, they used extremely cruel methods to harm the people, so there was nothing to sympathize with.
"Never mind this place, let Hengshan do what he wants, let's go down the mountain." Zhu Lin grabbed Xingxing and quickly flew down the mountain.
Yokoyama glanced back at his son, then threw some more poison into the mine before following him down the mountain.
Xingxing sensed someone chasing her and turned around to see Hengshan. "Brother Lin, she's caught up with us. This person is also carrying poison. It hasn't worked before. If she suddenly poisons me, I'm afraid I'll be poisoned to death."
“She wouldn’t dare.” Zhu Lin had stopped and was standing on a large rock, waiting for Hengshan to come down.
"What are you planning to do?" Yokoyama asked as soon as he arrived.
“Leave. We’re not planning to do anything right now,” Xingxing replied.
"This sea area is very chaotic. People from several neighboring countries are robbing people at sea. It's very dangerous to steal a boat and go out to sea unprepared," Yokoyama warned.
"Are we going to have to go back to the island again, then take a detour to the other side to leave? There doesn't seem to be anyone there, let alone any boats. It's not necessarily safer than this side," Xingxing said truthfully.
“There are only a few hundred people on this island. We can poison them. This island is quite far from Korea and not close to Japan either. Even if these people die, it won’t be discovered so quickly. We can go all the way.” Yokoyama continued to persuade him earnestly.
