Deyi Kangren could see that although Su Ruojin had brought some people with her this time, there were only twenty or thirty people in total. He had laid a net around the shogunate, and used nearly a thousand servants.
With only twenty or thirty people against a thousand, what chance did they have of winning?
Deyi Kangren looked at Su Ruojin with utter disdain.
An ant trying to shake a tree is overestimating its own strength.
"Deyi Kangren, hand over my sister and Prince Shen!" Su Ruojin was too lazy to waste words with him and said directly.
Deyi Kangren glanced at Su Ruojin sideways, "Your Highness, I was just inviting them to the manor as guests, why are you being so aggressive?"
"Oh, since you're here as a guest, I'll come and take my sister home now. Please bring her out."
"Your Highness, please don't be in such a hurry. We still have some matters to consult with the Princess. Why don't you two come into the manor together for tea? I will personally escort you out later, what do you say?"
Do you have something to ask Mu Yao?
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance and realized what was going on.
Deyi Kangren brought Mu Yao to the mansion not just to use her as a hostage to threaten them, but also because he valued Mu Yao's abilities. He really had a clever plan.
"Thank you for your kindness, General, but the princess hasn't been back for a long time and must be tired. I'll take her back first."
"If the general has anything else he needs to ask, he can send someone to our ship, and the princess will give him some proper guidance." Su Ruojin, of course, wasn't buying it.
"Your Highness, do you not believe me?"
"Yes, I don't believe you, Deyi Kangren. Stop talking nonsense and hand over the princess."
"If you dare to harm a single hair on my sister's head, I will make your entire shogunate pay with its life!" Su Ruojin was too lazy to say anything more.
"Su Ruojin, don't forget this is Yamato." Deyi Kangren was furious. No one in Yamato had ever dared to speak to him like this before.
"So what!" Su Ruojin looked directly at Deyi Kangren, without a trace of fear in her eyes.
"Guards!" Deyi Kangren waved his hand, and nearly a hundred warriors with long swords surrounded Su Ruojin and her group.
"Su Ruojin, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I will consider letting you go. Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between our two countries."
The next second, Deyi Kangren's vision blurred, and he received a slap across the face.
Then Xiao Yanchu gracefully sat back on his horse.
No one saw how he made his move.
Back on horseback, Xiao Yanchu took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and threw it away, clearly disgusted that he had just touched Deyi Kangren.
De Yi Kangren's eyes instantly turned red with rage. "Attack! Kill them all!"
Just then, a rumbling sound came from not far away, sounding like many horses galloping towards them.
Deyi Kangren narrowed his eyes. He did not mobilize any more people. Who was coming?
As the man approached, An Er jumped off his horse and knelt before Xiao Yanchu. "Your Highness, I am late. Please forgive me."
"It's alright, you've come at just the right time."
Deyi Kangren looked incredulous; all those who had come were from the Great Chu, numbering nearly a hundred at a glance.
The number of people wasn't the issue; what shocked Deyi Kangren was why each of these people had a horse, since he hadn't assigned Su Ruojin and the others so many horses.
Even in Japan, the breeding and sale of horses is strictly controlled. Even if they have money, it is impossible for them to acquire so many horses in such a short period of time.
Moreover, every single horse these people rode was a warhorse!
If you can't buy it, then there's only one possibility.
Tokugi Yasuhito was even angrier and shouted, "I never expected you to be so shameless as to steal my shogunate's warhorses! Kill them all!"
Without saying another word, Xiao Yanchu drew his sword and leaped towards Deyi Kangren.
Xiao Yanchu's sword strike was too fast, without any warning, and it was too late for Deyi Kangren to dodge.
His eyes showed fear, and he instinctively pulled a young woman next to him to shield him.
Pfft!
The sword pierced straight into the young man's chest, blood splattering everywhere, killing him instantly.
"Protect the general!" someone shouted in response.
