Li Sanxing opened his mouth, but said nothing. He couldn't possibly betray his second uncle, could he? Besides, he thought back, and Li Ziqiang didn't seem to have said anything; it was all just his guess…
"Since we are not fake, it means we are real. Since we are real, is your attitude an attempt to sabotage the cooperation between the Li family and Japan?"
Li Zhu directly turned the tables and questioned Li Sanxing, leaving him momentarily speechless. After all, he was still too young, hot-tempered, impulsive, and easily swayed by his emotions…
"It seems you don't have the final say on who we Japanese want to cooperate with..."
Just then, a Japanese man who didn't speak fluent Chinese appeared at the door and said in a very arrogant tone...
Looking at this Japanese man whose nose was practically pointing to the sky, Li Zhu realized how arrogant he truly was. He now understood why Xiao Baga thought everything was normal when he was acting so arrogantly!
"Uesugi-kun, there's no need to be angry. You're all family; speaking like that can easily damage the harmony..."
At this moment, Li Zimu, who was following behind Uesugi Kenshin, said with a smile, as if he was thinking of you guys!
Seeing this, Li Zhu naturally understood what had happened. They must have suspected his identity, so they brought the leader of the ronin from Taiyuan Prefecture to confirm it…
Facing Uesugi Kenshin, whom he didn't recognize at all, Li Zhu didn't take him seriously at all. Anyway, with the little bastard here, everything would be fine. However, the behavior of the Li family father and son was really unexpected. He felt that it would be necessary to teach them a lesson later...
"Who's family with them? He's just an ordinary Han Chinese, completely unworthy of being family with us Japanese ronin. He's only fit to be our slave..."
Uesugi Kenshin, still with an arrogant air, said that if you didn't see he had eyes, you'd think he was looking down his nose at people...
Li Zhu clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "Did they dig out his brains while digging for potatoes in Siberia? Where does this overconfidence come from?" Even Li Zimu behind him was looking at him like he'd eaten shit; it was utterly disgusting…
He glanced at the little dog beside him, as if to say, "I've released the dog, you'd better hurry up and get in..."
"Hi!"
Little Baka respectfully agreed, then stepped forward and said loudly.
"Uesugi-kun, Takeda Shingen has returned to report..."
Upon hearing Takeda Shingen's voice, Uesugi Kenshin lowered his head. Looking at Takeda Shingen standing behind Li Zhu, he couldn't help but reprimand him.
"Takeda-kun, what are you doing? What are you doing standing behind that liar? Come here right now..."
"Haha... What did I tell you? It really was a fake messenger of the gods. Now what do you have to say?"
Li Sanxing immediately jumped out and pointed at Li Zhu, questioning him fiercely!
"So it was all fake? I thought there really was a divine messenger."
"Exactly, they made us serve them so respectfully for so long..."
The servants started complaining, one after another…
"Uesugi-kun, what are you doing? Come and pay your respects to the divine messenger..."
Takeda Shingen gave Uesugi Kenshin a meaningful look, signaling him to hurry, but Uesugi Kenshin interpreted this as a threat…
"Takeda-kun, how did this despicable Chinese man threaten you? Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will definitely rescue you and make this Chinese man who humiliated you pay with his life..."
Li Zhu stopped the little rascal who wanted to continue explaining, and looked at Uesugi Kenshin with a calm and unhurried attitude, asking him in return.
"Are you so sure about Xiao... cough cough..."
Li Zhu almost blurted out "little bastard," but thankfully he realized his mistake, coughed twice to cover it up, and then continued...
"Are you so sure that Takeda-kun didn't do it voluntarily?"
"What a joke! I, a Japanese ronin, am of noble birth; how could I possibly submit to the Chinese..."
Uesugi Kenshin said with an arrogant expression!
"Uesugi-kun, the great god Yamata no Orochi said, 'Never be arrogant...'"
"Baka... What are you saying? Come here right now..."
Uesugi Kenshin roared angrily!
"Uesugi-kun, the Orochi-no-Mae (deity) said, 'You must not be enraged...'"
Uesugi Kenshin
"I…"
Li Zhu
"I…"
Both of them stared at the little bastard in shock. Uesugi Kenshin thought to himself, "This guy's drunk, hasn't he..."
Li Zhu was thinking that this guy was being a bit too devout. He had only said a few casual words, yet the other party remembered them and actually believed they were spoken by the Great God Orochi. How was he going to explain this? Remembering how Little Orochi had been kowtowing so enthusiastically earlier, he knew he probably couldn't explain it clearly…
"You're still so calm now; I have to admire your composure. I'm going to lock you up in the Li family's dungeon, so you'll never see the light of day again. Let's see if you're still so calm then..."
Li Sanxing pointed at Li Zhu and said fiercely!
His father, Li Zimu, was much calmer. He knew his father's thoughts, so he looked at Li Zhu and said calmly.
"Since you're here, you're a guest, so please don't be rude..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "Your son is pointing his finger at me and cursing me. This isn't just being rude, it's courting death..."
“This guest…”
Li Zimu turned to Li Zhu and greeted him with a smile, not even calling him "Divine Envoy." This annoyed Li Zhu, but he didn't immediately retort. He simply watched the other party's performance quietly...
Seeing that Li Zhu's attention was on him, Li Zimu continued...
"Our Li family is a prestigious family in Taiyuan. You should know the consequences of deceiving us like this. I won't make things difficult for you. Bring Qinglu here, and we'll pretend nothing happened. What do you say?"
Upon hearing Li Zimu's words, Li Zhu clapped his hands and then looked at him and said...
"You're considered one of the more polite ones among the many snobs, with a broad mind and a grand vision, but are you really so sure that I, this divine messenger, am a fake?"
"What a joke! I am the leader of the ronin, and I even met a divine messenger before coming to the Central Plains. Do you think such a lie can stand up to me, a mere ronin?"
Uesugi Kenshin retorted with a disdainful look!
"He still shows no remorse, Father. There's no need to be polite with this kind of person. Let me take some men and give him a beating, then we'll see if he still pretends to be a divine messenger..."
Li Sanxing said viciously!
"You'll regret treating me like this later..."
Li Zhu grinned and said!
"Regret? Whoever regrets it is a coward..."
Li Sanxing said with absolute certainty!
"I, Uesugi Kenshin, don't know what regret is..."
Uesugi Kenshin remained arrogant as he spoke!
"Don't you dare kneel down and beg me later..."
Li Zhu crossed his arms and looked around at the group of people. He noticed that they were all staring at him coldly, and some were even discussing how they were going to torture him later. This made Li Zhu feel somewhat helpless; he hadn't wanted to act tough...
