Chapter 265: Prince Huailiang wants to kill the Ming envoy as a sacrifice, Chixing Wuguan advises him to seek peace
Prince Huailiang's servants rushed towards the group of Ming Dynasty envoys like hungry tigers, and quickly picked out one of them.

Poor unfortunate messenger, he didn't have time to react.

He was pinned to the ground by this group of ferocious servants and had completely lost the power to resist.

Seeing that a brutal massacre was about to take place, Yang Zai and Wu Wenhua, another envoy who had luckily escaped the disaster, were both furious and filled with grief and indignation.

Although their hearts were filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, they were so helpless at this moment.

The two could only watch helplessly as their companions were murdered.

At this critical moment, suddenly a low but extremely firm voice exploded like thunder.

The bloody atrocity that was about to happen was abruptly interrupted.

Although the voice was not loud and exciting, the powerful momentum contained in it was enough to make people shudder.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elderly but dignified aide slowly walking out.

Prince Huailiang turned his head suddenly and stared at the person who was speaking with sharp eyes.

When he saw who was coming, a hint of surprise and relief flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that the person who spoke up for advice was actually one of Prince Huailiang's most trusted and relied-upon think tanks - Akaboshi Takekuni!
At this moment, Akahoshi Takeuchi was bending down deeply and saluting respectfully to Prince Huailiang.

His deep and firm voice was filled with endless sincerity and convincing rational analysis.

"Your Highness, please think twice before you act!"

Then Akahoshi Takekuni continued, "Ming is an extremely powerful country in the West, and their strength is definitely not something we can underestimate.

If we rashly execute the envoys they sent today, it will undoubtedly arouse anger from the Ming Dynasty.

This led to an all-out war of unprecedented scale between the two countries.

There is no benefit for us in doing this.

It is even very likely that our entire country will be dragged into an irreparable abyss of disaster!"

Hearing this, Prince Huailiang couldn't help but frown, with a painful and conflicted expression on his face.

Although he knew very well in his heart that every word that Akahoshi Takekuni said was the absolute truth.

However, when he thought of the various threats and provocations that the Ming Dynasty had posed to his country, he could not suppress the rage burning in his heart.

Finally, Prince Huailiang could no longer hold back and roared, "Are you going to show weakness to the Ming Dynasty like this?
Wouldn't that only make them more arrogant and domineering? "

He stared at Akahoshi Takenori closely, with a gleam of unyielding determination in his eyes, and his voice was filled with reluctance.

Akahoshi Takekuni said sincerely, "Your Highness, please listen to me.

Showing weakness does not mean being cowardly or incompetent in the true sense.

On the contrary, it is a way of dealing with the world that is full of wisdom and strategy.

First of all, we might as well send a sincere letter to the Ming Kingdom.

It expressed that the country attached great importance to the troublesome problem of Japanese pirates, and solemnly promised to go all out to thoroughly investigate the matter.

At the same time, this is also an excellent opportunity for us to strengthen exchanges and interactions with the Northern Dynasties.

We should work hard to promote the unification of the North and the South, which will certainly greatly enhance our country's overall strength and diplomatic status.

When the time is ripe, we will launch a more in-depth and comprehensive negotiation with the Ming Dynasty.

Try your best to obtain conditions that are more favorable and beneficial to us..." However, what was unexpected was that Prince Huailiang listened to Akahoshi Takekuni's earnest advice.

Not only did it fail to calm the raging anger in his heart, but it further strengthened Prince Huailiang's original beliefs and decisions.

He suddenly swung his wide sleeves vigorously, abruptly interrupting Akaboshi Takekuni's words before they were finished.

There was an incomparably firm and resolute light emanating from those eyes.

Prince Huailiang shouted word by word in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Shut up!
As the upright Prince Huailiang, how could I endure such a great humiliation?
How can we allow others to make arbitrary comments and point fingers at our country? "

The sound was as loud as a bell, as if it would shake the entire magnificent palace.

The originally calm and peaceful atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense and solemn.

Prince Huailiang was furious and shouted righteously: "If the Ming Dynasty dares to send troops, I will use all the strength of the country.

Summon all the brave and fearless warriors to annihilate the invading enemies in one fell swoop.

We must let them know who is the master of this vast sea!"

Seeing this situation, Chixing Wuguan couldn't help but frown, his face full of worry.

However, he knew Prince Huailiang's temper very well.

At this moment, Prince Huailiang was in a dilemma, and no amount of persuasion would change his mind.

Helpless, Akahoshi Takekumi could only sigh heavily and slowly stepped aside.

At the same time, he secretly prayed in his heart that the situation would not develop out of control.

"Someone is coming!"

All that was heard was Prince Huailiang shouting loudly, shaking the house.

Then a group of fully armed warriors rushed into the hall like a gust of wind and stood in a row in an orderly manner.

Prince Huailiang waved his hand and said sternly: "Immediately escort all these Ming Dynasty envoys to the dungeon and keep them under strict guard!

When the time comes, we will chop off his head and use it as a sacrifice. No mistakes will be allowed!"

After saying this, Prince Huailiang stared ahead with a firm gaze and continued, "I swear here today - if the Ming Dynasty really sends troops to invade, I will personally lead the mighty army to meet them on the shore of the vast ocean.

If we are ultimately defeated, I am willing to draw my sword and commit suicide right there in front of the army, to apologize to my people!"

Prince Huailiang's solemn oath was like thunder, echoing for a long time in the spacious hall.

His sparkling eyes revealed a determination to fight to the bitter end, and also flashed with an almost insane light.

It seems that Prince Huailiang had already made up his mind to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty.

As the low but majestic orders were issued, the Japanese warriors took action at an astonishing speed like ghosts!
Their sturdy, muscular arms were like hard iron clamps, tightly clamping the bodies of the Ming envoys.

These warriors had no mercy at all and dragged several poor Ming Dynasty envoys out of the hall in a very brutal manner!

The messengers twisted their bodies desperately to break free from the restraints, but all their struggles were in vain.

The stone pavement they were stepping on made sharp and piercing friction sounds due to their fierce struggle.

This sound kept echoing in the empty and lonely palace, as if it was going to pierce the eardrums, making people feel creepy and chilled.
