Seeing their piercing gazes, Li Zhu felt helpless. He had only wanted to quietly be a divine messenger, but some people insisted on forcing him to show off. This day was just too tiring…
If people knew what Li Zhu was thinking, they would definitely scold him: "Enough! You can't even stop showing off during your monologue, that's too much..."
"Uesugi Kenshin, you should know the symbol of a divine messenger, right..."
Li Zhu calmly looked at Uesugi Kenshin and asked!
"Hmph! I am from Japan, a devout follower of the Yamata no Okami (or Orochi), how could I not know the symbolic identity of a divine messenger..."
Uesugi Kenshin replied with a look of disdain, thinking to himself, "This guy is really strange. Isn't asking such a question an insult to his intelligence?"
"Why waste words with someone like that, Father? Let me take some men and beat him up first..."
Li Sanxing said, looking impatient!
bass!
Uesugi Kenshin drew his katana, equally eager to try it out, and said...
"I'm willing to join forces with the young master to teach this bastard who dared to humiliate me a lesson..."
Li Zhu smiled faintly, as if to say, "Let him be forceful, the breeze still blows across the mountain..."
"I'm not very good with eyes, can you tell me what this is?"
Li Zhu took out the Xuan Tian Token and asked Uesugi Kenshin!
Uesugi Kenshin instinctively wanted to retort to Li Zhu, "I don't care who you are," but the next moment he swallowed his words back, looking quite comical. Everyone around was dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened...
To everyone's even greater shock, the next moment Uesugi Kenshin suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, stammering...
"Greetings...Greetings...Divine Messenger...Your Excellency..."
"Oh my, isn't this Lord Uesugi Kenshin? Why are you kneeling?"
Li Zhu looked at him sarcastically and asked…
Little Baka couldn't help but click his tongue, thinking to himself, "You deserve it, I'll teach you to trust me..."
Li Zimu and Li Sanxing were also stunned, especially Li Sanxing, who urged them on.
"Uesugi-kun, what are you doing? You're already kneeling before the fight even starts. If you're not up to it, I'll protect you. You can just lend a hand from the sidelines..."
Uesugi Kenshin said, "I don't need your protection! Can't you see I'm about to pee my pants? Can you please stop digging holes in my life? If you do, I won't be able to climb out!"
"Why is Uesugi-kun acting this way?"
Li Zimu realized something was wrong; he might have inadvertently offended someone he shouldn't have…
"God... Lord God Envoy..."
Uesugi Kenshin stammered out those words, but Li Zimu looked completely bewildered. He glanced at the flustered Uesugi Kenshin, then at Li Zhu who was putting away the token, and a thought flashed through his mind...
"It really is...it really is a divine messenger..."
Li Zimu muttered to himself, he never expected it to turn out this way...
"Your name is Uesugi Kenshin, right?"
Li Zhu raised his head, looking down at the other person and asked in a completely nonchalant tone...
Under normal circumstances, if anyone dared to speak to him like this, he would have drawn his sword long ago. But at this moment, he could only kneel there, his body trembling uncontrollably. Although he didn't know where this unfamiliar divine messenger had come from, the token was undeniably genuine. No matter how powerful he was, he dared not betray the Yamata no Orochi, or he would immediately become deserted by everyone.
"My lord... my divine messenger... I am none other than Uesugi Kenshin..."
Li Zhu nodded, then looked at the little bastard and asked...
Didn't you tell him I was a messenger of the gods?
Little Baka immediately knelt down and respectfully replied.
"My lord, I've already told him, but he doesn't believe me..."
Uesugi Kenshin, standing nearby, really wanted to say, "If this happened to you, would you believe it? You go out and bring back just anyone and call them a divine messenger. What's the difference between that and a joke?"
Couldn't you have explained the situation clearly? Now look what's happened! Not only have I lost face, but I've also offended the Divine Messenger, who probably wants to chop that little bastard to pieces...
"If you can't even trust your own subordinates, you're a complete failure as a leader..."
Li Zhu stroked his chin and said that he was considering whether to make the little bastard the leader of the ronin, so that he would have another force to command. It was obvious that Sugi Kenshin would not truly obey him...
"Your Excellency, please forgive me. I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness..."
Uesugi Kenshin kowtowed and apologized, his attitude extremely sincere!
"Let's call it a day and go..."
After Li Zhu finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Li Zimu, who was standing next to him, could not let Li Zhu leave. If the Japanese envoy left halfway through his visit, the Japanese ronin would definitely think that he had driven the envoy out. Regardless of whether this was the truth, for the ronin, humiliating the envoy was more unacceptable than humiliating them. He had essentially offended all the ronin. How could they cooperate in the future?
"My lord, what is this all about? Has our Li family failed to provide adequate hospitality in any way?"
Li Zimu quickly put on a smiling face and said!
Li Zhu thought to himself, "Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?" Bringing people to verify his identity was humiliating enough, and trying to detain him without any concrete evidence was beyond his tolerance...
"No, I'm just worried that someone might get too agitated and beat me up. For my own safety, I'd better leave the Li residence..."
As for the Li family's lavish hospitality, I can only say thank you. I'm a rather timid person, and I'm afraid someone might try to detain me at the slightest provocation..."
Li Zimu's expression suddenly became quite interesting. He slapped Li Sanxing across the face and angrily rebuked him.
"Hurry up and apologize to the Divine Messenger..."
Li Sanxing was stunned by the beating. He covered his head and looked blankly at his father, thinking, "You were the one who wanted to imprison the divine messenger, what does this have to do with me..."
"Hurry up... what are you dawdling for?"
Seeing that Li Sanxing was still unconvinced, he went up and kicked him, causing Li Sanxing to stagger and kneel down in front of Li Zhu...
"My... Divine Envoy... I... I was wrong. I was blind and shouldn't have acted rashly and made things difficult for you. Please, my lord, be magnanimous and don't hold it against someone as junior as me..."
At first, Li Sanxing stammered in his apology, but his words became more and more fluent. Since he had already embarrassed himself, he might as well be more sincere...
"I'm not angry... so you don't need to apologize. My intention was to leave after the banquet, but you insisted that I stay at the Li residence to rest. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I really should go back..."
Li Zhu spoke sincerely, but Li Zimu could hear the anger in his voice, which made him even more anxious. After all, if news of offending the divine envoy reached his father, he would definitely be accused of incompetence.
"You unfilial son, how dare you humiliate the divine messenger today! I'll beat you to death!"
As Li Zimu spoke, he snatched the wooden stick from the servant's hand and swung it straight at Li Sanxing...
