In just three days, Shuri Castle was in complete chaos.

The Kume samurai, who once held great power, began to liquidate the Ryukyu princes and nobles without any hesitation.

No matter whether you are a prince, an official, a pro-Fang, or a pro-Yun, you will be labeled a pro-Japanese element and taken away to be placed under house arrest.

Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a suspect in the "Naha Massacre" and arrested violently.

Anyone who dares to resist will be regarded as treason and will be killed without mercy!

What a tragic scene with chaos and wailing in every household...

~~

The cries of the ladies could be heard in the palace of the great king.

"Woo woo, Maharaja, you have to make the decision for us!"

"Yes, Maharaja, you are the only one who can stop the atrocities of those people!"

"Eight people in my family were taken away, and we don't know whether they are dead or alive..."

"If anything happens to them, we will die too!"

I heard that the prince was dizzy because of the noise made by these women, and I really regretted that I had let them in.

"Isn't there still a regent? If Zheng's party acts recklessly, will he agree?" Mei Nan finally got the chance to ask.

"He's been dragged away by Zheng!" A noblewoman named Huang Bo said in a hateful voice, "I don't know what benefit Zheng promised him, but he enjoys arresting people even more than Zheng!"

"Yes, at first my master and several other judges went to his house to plead for mercy, and he readily agreed and asked my master to make a list of his own people." Another noblewoman also cried and said, "In the end, that damned man gave the list to Zheng that night. The next day, he arrested people according to the list!"

"Ah..." Mei Nan was stunned. He didn't expect that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Brother Seven, would also betray him.

She finally agreed to take care of the matter, then asked them to go back first and then ordered someone to invite Shang Zongxian to find out the truth.

Shang Zongxian arrived soon, and he was very frank in response to Prince Wende's questioning.

"I'm going to put my cards on the table. I'm actually a staunch pro-Ming faction." Shang Zongxian said righteously, "I've long been fed up with those double-dealers who sing praises to the Ming Dynasty on the one hand, and secretly deal with the Japanese on the other. I'm taking this opportunity to cleanse the evil atmosphere and restore peace to Zhongshan!"

Mei Nan was disgusted by what he said, thinking to himself, "I'll give you a Duanwu." He had no choice but to patiently say, "My brother said last time that we can't start a big prison."

"After thinking about it, I realized I was wrong." Shang Zongxian said without blushing, "This is not a dinner party. This is a turning point that concerns the future destiny of Zhongshan State. In order to give our country a better future, we must correct the wrongs!"

After saying that, he added in a low voice: "Didn't the Maharaja also say that we have no choice?"

"But I didn't expect you to be so serious!" Mei Nan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

“Alas, sister…” Shang Zongxian suddenly changed his address, and said with a long sigh: “Don’t you even understand that I am doing this for our Zhongshan royal family and Ryukyu Shintoism!”

"What do you mean?" Mei Nan asked puzzled.

"The king has been captured and the royal family is in danger. If we don't actively show obedience at this time and still resist stubbornly, I'm afraid that what awaits our Shang family will be a catastrophic disaster!" Shang Zongxian said with a serious face.

"No way! We are the vassal states appointed by the Celestial Empire. That devil named Zhao wouldn't dare to really touch us, right?" Mei Nan was shocked.

"How did our great-grandfather get the throne?" Shang Zongxian shook his head and sighed, "They just follow suit, and it won't alarm the Celestial Empire at all!"

Mei Nan certainly knew that her great-grandfather had pretended to be the prince's younger brother, obtained the title, and established the Second Shang Dynasty. If there was a Third Shang Dynasty, how would she face her ancestors?

"Then what about my Ryukyu Shinto?" She jumped to the next question unconsciously.

"Many people in Tsume Village have said that our Ryukyu Shintoism is too influenced by Japanese Shintoism. Even if it is not banned, it should be cleansed and all the torii gates and the like should be demolished..." Shang Zongxian said alarmistly.

"How dare they!" Menan was furious when he heard this: "We Ryukyu Shinto are servants of God, and God has sent a messenger..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that the envoy of God had told her not to reveal her... oh no, his background. The prince was so frightened that he stopped talking immediately.

"Don't get angry, sister. It's not that far yet. I will do my best to prevent these things from happening." Shang Zongxian didn't understand what she meant, so he said righteously, "If they dare to touch these two bottom lines, I will fight them with all my strength!"

"Alas, brother Wang, you should protect yourself." Mei Nan sighed.

"It doesn't matter. For the sake of Zhongshan Kingdom, it's not a pity for me to die. But sister, you have to understand me, believe me, and support me!" Shang Zongxian said as he kowtowed heavily.

"Hmm..." Wende Dajun nodded slowly.

"Then I'll take my leave." Shang Zongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the king of this generation was ignorant of worldly affairs. If the king of the previous generation was still alive, he would definitely not have passed the test.

"Okay." Mei Nan nodded again.

Shang Zongxian retreated to the door, and when he stood up, he suddenly saw that the senior nun beside Wen De Dajun had changed. She was no longer the gloomy old lady, but a young, beautiful and heroic woman, but she was unfamiliar.

Until he left the palace, he still couldn't remember who that was.

~~

In the palace, watching Shang Zongxian leave, the prince turned around and respectfully asked the woman standing behind him, "God's messenger, what do you think?"

When she said this, she stole a glance at Lin Feng. She had been doing this intentionally or unintentionally these days. Because he or she was too beautiful, the kind of beauty that was noble and heroic, so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether it was male or female, and so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter.

"Your Majesty, please call me Ah Feng." Even his voice became that of a woman.

What was even more amazing was that the snow-white ridges and deep ravines were revealed in the cross collar of the snow-white gauze wedding gown. Menan felt ashamed of himself and could not help but sigh that the goddess Amamiku was worthy of being the mother goddess who created the Ryukyu people and could actually turn a man into a real woman.

Lin Feng felt a little helpless when being looked at, she was of course a real woman.

Otherwise, how could those old women let her live in the palace? Those old women had already looked her over thoroughly in the name of serving her bathing. After they were sure that she was a genuine girl, they believed that miracles really existed and no longer stopped Wen De Dajun from keeping Lin Feng by his side.

In fact, this was a trick played by Lin Feng. Nonsense, how could a man become a woman? She was originally a girl, right?

But she grew up in a pirate family, and she followed the teacher hired by her eldest brother to practice martial arts and dressed like a man. Later, when Lin Daoqian was defeated in Taiwan and her family was surrounded by government troops, she stood up and led the whole family to fight their way out and escape to the sea. Then she actually grew stronger.

When Lin Daoquan returned from Taiwan, she had already gathered a team of thousands of people. Old Lin took advantage of the situation and was able to make a comeback so quickly.

At that time, Lin Feng's reputation was already very loud, and it was rumored that she was a man. She simply kept using the name of a man, and worked with her eldest brother, one in the open and one in the dark, to develop to this day.

Previously in Xiawei City, Lin Feng saw that her big brother, whom she had always regarded as her idol, was beaten up by a boy who hadn't even grown all his hair. He even said something like "this is the master's task", which made people blush. This aroused her strong desire to win, and she decided to have a good fight with the boy surnamed Zhao to break the demon in her big brother's heart.

But Lin Feng was invincible, but she never relied on hard fighting. She relied on knowing herself and the enemy, and she was full of tricks. She never fought a battle without preparation and without a chance of winning. So she planned to go to Chaozhou first to observe secretly.

Lin Daoqian told her that Zhao Hao had gone to Ryukyu to seek bad luck. This was a good opportunity to observe the opponent closely, to see what weaknesses could be exploited, and what strengths could be learned.

Lin Feng took his personal soldiers and rushed to Ryukyu by boat.

In fact, she had arrived near Oshima before the Battle of Amami Bay began. However, the Coast Guard fleet was very alert, and the speedboats cruising outside the bay formed a tight protective net to drive away all approaching ships. Moreover, their artillery fire was very accurate, and after sinking several pirate ships that tried to join in the fun and take advantage, those ships of unknown origin dispersed.

Lin Feng had no choice but to give up her plan to watch the battle, but she had her own plans. She knew that based on the combat effectiveness of these speedboats, the weak Ryukyu army would definitely lose. And the kid named Zhao would definitely march to Naha Port to grab the spoils after he defeated the Ryukyu army.

She asked the girls to row south, rush to Shuri first, lie in wait in Naha Port, and wait for the show. However, the Coast Guard Fleet did not go south immediately, but sent the news of the capture of the Ryukyu King back to Shuri Castle. At this time, Lin Feng had learned about the power structure of Ryukyu through various inquiries, so she came up with a plan, sneaked into the Saifaka Utake, left a letter in Sankuli, and asked the prince to meet on the island to see if she could take advantage of her desperate attempt to get some benefits from Ryukyu. Even if an offensive and defensive alliance could not be made, it would be good to lay a hidden chess piece for the future.

In fact, Lin Feng did not expect that the Lord Wen would believe in her identity as a messenger of God. She just felt uncomfortable if Douaisi did not play tricks on him. However, she did not expect that this highest priest actually believed in the God he served and did not even doubt her own lies.

So Lin Feng acted decisively and changed his plan. He used his original identity to perform a beautiful "male to female" trick, completely confirming his identity as a divine messenger, and returned to the palace with Lord Wende.

In her opinion, Zhongshan State, which had lost its king, knew that the princess was the queen, and she would definitely be able to gain extraordinary benefits by exerting influence on her.

Who knew this girl was such a loser. She has been in office for almost ten years and has never issued a proper decree. She is simply a decoration.

~~

Seeing Lin Feng remained silent, Mei Nan was frightened and quickly leaned forward to apologize: "Mei Nan has brought shame to the Mother Goddess. Please punish me severely. Let's find someone else."

"Get up, get up. That's not what I meant. The higher-ups have made the decision on you. How can I have the power to change it?" Lin Feng calmed himself down and shook his head in a pretentious manner.

"Then what the envoy meant is..." Menan frowned and thought hard for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Let me keep silent and act according to circumstances, right?"

"Uh... I guess so..." Lin Feng nodded, touched her head, and showed a teachable expression.
