Chapter 624: Seeking Skin from a Tiger

Yingning smiled and said, "Don't accuse Eunuch Chen unfairly."

She knew this only because she had more memories of those years in her previous life.

It’s not easy to ask Chen Hong to take the blame.

After waiting boredly for a moment, the sound of horses kicking came from the front.

Jiu Jin tensed up instantly and stayed by Ying Ning's side.

Ding Chunfang also put away her playful smile and looked ahead with a stern face.

A Japanese pirate on horseback came slowly.

He actually came alone.

Ding Chunfang's eyes turned red instantly. She held the handle of the knife and whispered: "This is General Takeda. He had the courage to come alone without killing him. I am sorry for the dead Daxuan soldiers!"

Yingning said calmly: "If you want the people of Linghai to be buried with him, then do it."

Ding Chunfang was slightly startled, and slowly loosened her clenched fists.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with sinister features. His appearance was no different from that of a Daxuan man, except for his peculiar hairstyle, which allowed people to identify him as a Japanese at a glance.

After he saw Yingning's carriage, he stopped not far away and said, "Who is Li Yingning?"

It's actually standard Daxuan mandarin.

Ying Ning and Ding Chunfang were shocked.

"I didn't expect General Takeda's Chinese speaking to be so authentic, I admire him." Ying Ning said.

Takeda's eyes fell on Ying Ning and said slowly: "I didn't expect that there are such beauties in China."

"I didn't expect that General Takeda would dare to come alone."

"If you hadn't thought about it, you wouldn't have written that letter." Takeda's eyes were like poisonous snakes, slowly scanning Ying Ning and the people around him.

Thinking of the tragic death of the soldiers and civilians, and the great hatred at hand, Ding Chunfang's eyes were red, and she could hardly resist the urge to rush forward and fight for her life.

Yingning said: "Since General Takeda's Chinese is so good, it is convenient. First of all, I want to reveal my identity. I am the Xinhua Princess of Daxuan Kingdom, Li Yingning."

Takeda said: "If I remember correctly, your royal family name is Gu."

"Not only those born into the royal family can be princesses."

Takeda pulled his lips: "I like this sentence. So, Princess of China, what deal do you want to make with me?"

"I want to use her in exchange for General Tang."

Ying Ning pointed at Zhang Qiaoqiao who stuck her head out of the carriage.

She was wrapped in a scarf, with only her eyes exposed.

Zhang Qiaoqiao seemed to have expected this, she just smiled coldly and said nothing.

Takeda smiled and said: "Is a woman worthy of being compared with a general?"

"That's because you don't know her identity yet."

"Appreciate further details."

Hearing these four words, Ying Ning was even more shocked.

It is not unusual for a Japanese pirate to be able to speak Chinese, but the fact that he can use idioms so skillfully shows that he is very familiar with Daxuan.

It's difficult to deceive him.

Ying Ning said: "Her name is Zhang Qiaoqiao, the former Princess Anqing of Daxuan. Of course, you may not know this. But if I reveal her other identity..."

"She is Zhang Gaoqiu's daughter." Takeda suddenly said.

Ying Ning was surprised.

Even Zhang's pretty eyes showed shock.

Takeda smiled and said: "I have been dealing with Zhang Gaoqiu for more than ten years, and I know him and his family very well. I can even tell the names and ages of Zhang Gaoqiu's wives and concubines."

Zhang Qiaoqiao felt chills running down her back as she listened.

This is a terrible enemy.

She whispered to Ying Ning: "When you make a deal with him, you are seeking skin from a tiger. Be careful that you die without a burial place!"
