Chapter 330 The Plan to Capture the Chu Envoy Alive
The black man didn't say anything, but disappeared into the house in a few flashes.
A week later, several officials arrived at the house as scheduled.
"We greet Your Majesty!"
"Get up, everyone. Let's discuss this Chu Chen. How should I deal with him? Should I keep him or get rid of him?"
"Your Majesty, according to the news brought back by the Great Xia spies, Great Xia seems to be developing a very powerful weapon. Why not take this opportunity to capture Chu Chen and force the Great Xia Emperor to hand over the weapon's blueprints?"
An official spoke to Kato Yan with a serious expression.
"Oh, a very powerful weapon?"
"That's right. It's said that this weapon is extremely powerful, and whoever obtains it will rule the world!"
"Is there any specific information?" Kato Yan immediately became interested after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, as you know, our spies are all low-ranking officials, so..."
The official looked at Kato Kane and said with some difficulty.
Kato Yan waved his hand: "In that case, perhaps Chu Chen is an opportunity for us, but is this person really that important to Great Xia?"
After Kato finished speaking, another official stepped forward.
"Your Majesty may not know, but this man has created many miracles in Great Xia. Last time, when our Japanese warships were near the sea, it was this man who led the troops and annihilated our entire army. Moreover, this man is quite powerful in battle. Most importantly, he holds a high position."
"Oh, his status?"
“That’s right, Your Majesty. Although this man holds no official position, he is indeed the sworn brother of the Eighth Prince, and Zhou Shixun values and protects him greatly!”
Kato Kan listened while organizing the information.
Shortly after, he stood up and addressed the crowd.
"Alright, since that's the case, let this person stay in Japan until the princess arrives in Great Xia and receives a reply."
"Your Majesty, everyone knows that princess is just a fake. As for the Great Xia..."
"No need to worry, the people of Great Xia won't be able to tell!"
After saying that, he strode out of the room.
Chu Chen followed the maid into a room across the street. As soon as he entered, the maid spoke to him in the Great Xia language.
"Since you are tired, young master, please allow me to help you rest!"
After saying that, she pulled Chu Chen toward the bed in the room.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stopped him, saying, "No, you can go down first. I can do it myself."
"Young master, do you not find this servant displeasing?"
"Um, you're a good person, but we're just not a good match."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he pushed her out of the room before she could say anything more.
I thought to myself, what's going on? The mere ruler of Japan, you're testing me with this?
I'm here to take your jade, not your family!
If it's this kind of work, it's better to hand it over to a drunkard; he's much more professional.
As night fell, Chu Chen put the food brought by the Japanese maid into his spatial storage, ate a little himself, and then flashed into the space.
After drinking a large ladle of the spring water, he emerged again dressed in black.
In the dead of night, his figure could be seen wandering around the palace like a ghost.
Soon after, Chu Chen bypassed the guards and entered the room he had entered earlier that day.
He took the recorder out from under the mat, then went back the way he came and returned to his room.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, but little did they know that in the darkness, a Japanese man dressed in black and holding a long sword was watching everything Chu Chen did.
After returning to his room, Chu Chen entered the space without hesitation.
Then, I rummaged through a bunch of phones and found one with a translation app installed. I turned on the voice recorder and started taking notes in my notebook.
As the information appeared on the paper, Chu Chen's brows furrowed into a tight knot.
After a long while, Chu Chen revealed a cold smile.
"Hehe, Kato Yan, since you're full of bad intentions and pretend to be a princess, let me take a look at you."
"However, the Great Xia Imperial Palace is still poorly managed. Such important secrets could be leaked. It seems that after we return, we should remind Zhou Shixun to properly reorganize the internal affairs of Great Xia."
After saying that, Chu Chen poured himself another ladle of water and then quietly left the space.
At this moment, he was fully armed again.
Just as he left the space and returned to his room, in the depths of the palace, a room was still lit by candlelight.
Kato Yan looked at the man in black in front of her and said, "You mean, he stayed inside the house all day and didn't come out?"
"He went out once, to the room where the emperor met him, but stayed for only a few breaths before returning to the room."
Kato Yan couldn't understand why he went to that room.
"How skilled is this person in combat?"
"Your Majesty, their military strength is not weak, but this humble servant has made thorough preparations. Tomorrow's breakfast... With our full strength, we will surely succeed!"
"Alright, well done. You may leave now. Tomorrow, follow my orders!"
After saying that, Kato Kan headed towards the palace behind her...
After a night, Kato Yan dragged her tired body out of the palace, accompanied by a group of maids.
The maid knocked on Chu Chen's door.
"Young master, shall I help you get up?"
"No need, I can do it myself." Chu Chen said, getting out of bed, eating a few pieces of bread, and then opening the door to welcome the maid in.
Looking at the breakfast in her hand, Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, you eat!"
Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, a flicker of fear flashed in the maid's eyes.
"Young master, the emperor has instructed that you must try the unique food of our Japan."
Chu Chen stared at her, taking in all her expressions. He thought to himself, "This old bastard is up to no good. He's afraid he can't win me over, so he's tampered with this breakfast."
However, looking at the cold rice ball, I had no interest at all. But if it's an act, it has to be real.
So he said to the maid, "Then thank you, Your Majesty."
He then picked up a ball of cold rice and stuffed it into his mouth, but the cold rice ball disappeared into his mouth as soon as it entered.
The maid watched as Chu Chen stuffed all the cold rice balls into his mouth before happily leaving the room.
In the next room, a Japanese man dressed in black asked the maid, "Have you eaten?"
"Reporting to the General, I've eaten!"
"Good, well done. While I have some time, let me, the general, show you some pity."
After about ten breaths, the maid came out of the room, straightened her clothes, and headed towards Chu Chen's room.
"Young master, our emperor invites you!"
Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, pushed open the door, and followed the maid toward the main hall ahead.
On the way, Chu Chen followed behind the maid and quietly whispered some instructions to Chu Yi and Chu San through an earpiece.
Not long after, on the roof of a house outside the palace, two figures smiled at each other.
"Bro, can I play with your thing later?"
"Stop fooling around, or you'll ruin the young master's plans. You'll be the first one to be bombed!"
