After several days of fierce fighting, the soldiers at the front captured several powerful shoguns. They were all arrogant and haughty, as if they had not been defeated. When Seto and Oshu saw these men, they could hardly contain their anger.
They were bound and sent directly to Yinzhen's side. From these people's private treasuries, Eshuo found quite a few good things for Qingyan.
Qingyan liked some of the local food, so Saito personally prepared a lot of ingredients to send back to the Qing Dynasty on the return journey.
"Little darling, you and your sister-in-law stay behind the screen while the children go. Those generals from the shogunate are being escorted over!" Yinzhen was very curious about these people. Saito and Eshuo were rarely angered by others, but today, they couldn't hold back their temper.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Qingyan looked at the surprise and gossip in Yinzhen's phoenix eyes and decided to find out first.
Seeing Qingyan's confused expression, Yinzhen directly mentioned Saito and Eshuo, which infuriated the generals of the shogunate.
"Fourth Brother, you're not serious, are you?" Qingyan's interest was piqued.
Saito and Eshuo are known for their good tempers, which are far too mild compared to Feiyangu's fiery temper.
"It's true, but we should inquire about it first!" Yinzhen also had his own thoughts.
The shoguns ruled Ryukyu for a long time, and if they wanted to control Ryukyu, they should have continued to use the shoguns to maintain control.
Yin Genjue Luo Shi and Qing Yan led the child behind the screen, and the door to the flower hall was pushed open. Qing Yan activated the video in the space and kept a close eye on the situation outside.
The group of people who came in were all men in their forties and fifties. They were dressed in black kimonos and had long beards.
Qingyan muttered directly, "It's really ugly!"
From where she was standing, she could see what those people looked like. Yin Genjue Luo shook her head helplessly. Qing Yan really wasn't childish.
Yinzhen, who was outside, heard the sound and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The generals, forced to kneel on the ground by Erlu and others, had a crazed look in their eyes. They hoped that Yinti and Yinzhen would spare the life of their youngest child. As long as one child was alive, he would surely bring great fortune to the Dahe people when he grew up.
“You are very calm. I think that’s how you become high-ranking officials who manage a region.” Yinti nodded with a smile.
Neither of the brothers missed the madness in the eyes of these generals. Their first thought was that the suggestion to leave the heir behind must have been leaked. This would make the generals more interested and give them a better way to find out what they were thinking.
"Fourth Prince, you are the son of the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, and you must have brothers. I don't ask you to spare all your sons, just leave the youngest child!" The generals had a plan in mind. They would just plant one or two advisors among the servants they left behind.
Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat. These generals already knew about the things they had just discussed last night.
"Impossible! You've been captured. Your offspring should have already been disposed of. Someone will take your children's place!" Yinti sneered.
Just now, Yinti suddenly thought of a way to switch identities, directly changing the identity of the heir apparent.
What?!
The generals exchanged glances in mid-air; the information they had gathered was not what they expected. Could it be that their bribed lackeys were relaying false information?
no!
A sense of fear rose in their hearts. If Yinti and Yinzhen were to kill all their offspring, they would truly be unable to restore the power and authority of the Shogun.
"Your Majesty, it's all taken care of!" Yinti's chief guard walked in. Yinti had anticipated this situation before the generals came in and had ordered someone to handle it secretly.
Upon hearing the chief of guards' report, the generals' eyes instantly turned bloodshot. They tried to threaten him with their broken Chinese, but found they had no leverage left.
"Enough. You lot are quite pitiful. For the sake of our descendants, let people have a complete burial." Yinzhen only wanted to see if the generals were as tough as the rumors suggested.
Reality was disappointing; not only did they lack backbone, they even compromised outright.
"Fourth brother, what's the point of wasting your breath on them? You won't get any information out of them. Several cities have been destroyed by cannons, and some places have been razed to the ground. And you still have to deal with these people!" Yinti disdained their words and waved his hand, ordering Erlu and the others to take everyone away.
After the generals were subdued, Qingyan quickly went around the screen and ran out with the twins.
“Father, is this what you call the Bushido spirit?” Iken’e was very disappointed.
Yinzhen shook his head. Those who truly possessed the spirit of Bushido had already committed seppuku after the city was breached; none of them had managed to survive by clinging to life.
Those arrested in front of me are mostly people who are used to a life of luxury. As shoguns of the shogunate, they are only good because of their privileged backgrounds.
“Yiken’e, these people are not real warriors. In a moment, Father will accompany you to see the real warriors.” In the interrogation room next to the flower hall, there were two captured warriors. These were the same warriors who had ambushed Saito and Eshuo, and were directly caught by the Ulanara clan’s secret guards.
"Fourth Brother, did you catch the samurai?" Qingyan asked, her eyes wide.
"They ambushed my two brothers-in-law, but they just detained them!" Yinzhen said casually.
"Ah Hun, you didn't even say anything!" Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned around to look at his two older brothers, and only after confirming that they were unharmed did he dare to relax.
Saito and Eshuo accepted Qingyan's care with natural expressions. Although they felt a little embarrassed, they were still very happy.
Since Qingyan cares so much about him, Yinzhen will definitely be grateful. Since following Yinzhen, the two brothers have rarely received their sister's care.
"Alright, you two go ahead and interrogate them. I'll stay here and Qingyan will listen in." Yinzhen directly assigned the two brothers to the task.
Qingyan smiled, while Saito looked exasperated. As expected, Yinzhen was still making excuses.
"Little darling, you'll come along later too!" Saito had a feeling that Qingyan's drugs would be needed to help with this interrogation.
Yinzhen glared at Saito, but did not refuse.
She enjoyed watching the spectacle, and she wouldn't accept any of the Ryukyuans' interrogations.
“I’ll go with them too!” Yin Genjue Luo glanced at Sai Tuo and decided to go with Qing Yan.
Saito nodded and said no more. After all, if the Yin Genjue Luo clan went there, it would be twice as effective with half the effort.
