"What should we do now, Miss Heng?" The burly pirate glanced at the person on the ground and asked for instructions.
Chiyo Yokoyama stared expressionlessly at the man who was clearly breathing more out than in, closed her eyes briefly, and whispered, "Save him. After all, he's my own brother, and he's quite skilled. If he's saved, he might still be of some use."
Although he can no longer impersonate Prince Cheng, he can still kill people. Yokoyama Ichiro is not good at anything else, but he is bloodthirsty and his mind is filled with nothing but harming and killing people. No wonder the Eastern King looks down on him and even banished him.
After thinking for a moment, Yokoyama Chiyo quickly returned to the island and led a few people to a cave on the mountain. Several pirates were guarding outside the cave. When they saw her coming, they bowed respectfully and stepped back.
The pirate following behind Yokoyama Chiyo lit a torch and led the way for her. The cave was man-made and very deep; it took them fifteen minutes to reach the bottom.
The innermost space was quite large, divided into two rooms. The real Prince Cheng was imprisoned here, with his hands and feet shackled and an iron mask on his head. The iron mask was a bit smaller than his head and it took quite a bit of effort to put it on.
Prince Cheng still has scratches on his head from when he wore the iron mask, and no one has treated the wounds for him; it looks quite gruesome.
It's hard to imagine how much pain he endured at that time.
"Your double's identity was exposed, and he was almost killed. Your princess sister has many skilled fighters around her, making her quite difficult to deal with. If you had been willing to cooperate with me in the first place, I wouldn't have had to be so ruthless towards you. You refused to listen to reason and refused to listen to reason."
You brought this situation upon yourself. You're neither human nor ghost now. Even if someone rescues you, you won't survive. I won't kill you; you should end it yourself.
Yokoyama Chiyo, thinking she had done something good, threw a dagger in front of Prince Sei and then left the cave with her men.
After leaving the cave, she said to the burly men guarding it, "Throw him into the deep mountains and let him fend for himself. Don't remove his shackles. How can you let a disobedient person die too easily?"
Indeed, she didn't initially intend to replace Prince Cheng with a new face for Yokoyama Ichiro. She first approached Prince Cheng, wanting him to cooperate with her. She would fight for the throne for him and promise him a city after he sat on the dragon throne.
Prince Cheng was indeed interested at first, but when he heard that she was Japanese, he refused to accept it. He not only drove her away, but also threatened to kill all the Japanese pirates.
"Even if I were stupid, I would never cooperate with Japanese pirates. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You'd be a fool to genuinely help me. I won't fall for your tricks. How dare a female Japanese pirate like you come to me to discuss cooperation? Believe me or not, I'll kill you."
Prince Cheng couldn't kill her; if he could, there wouldn't have been a body double.
