The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 177 The Northern Yuan Envoy Has Also Arrived
Wang Yuemin didn't care about these things. Back in Dadu, he had seen many envoys from various dynasties, even more than the current Ming Dynasty.

So in his view, there was nothing strange about it.

King Zhu Shuang of Qin felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

"That's right, I was the one who was confused!"

"Although it's a good thing that the delegation came to pay tribute, there might still be danger this time!"

"I've heard that quite a few people have come to pay tribute this time, and even the Great Yuan Dynasty in the north has sent people!"

Wang Yuemin was extremely shocked when she heard the news.

The Yuan and Ming dynasties have always been hostile forces, and they should never have anything to do with each other. Why did they send envoys this time?
Something was definitely wrong. At that moment, he suddenly realized that because the scouts had been removed from the military command, news from the Ming Dynasty could no longer be transmitted.

Could it be that this is also the reason for sending an envoy this time?
Upon thinking of this place, he became uneasy. If he stayed in the Prince of Qin's mansion, even if people came from the north, they probably wouldn't know his whereabouts.

"Your Highness, I have never seen such strangely dressed people before. Why don't you take me to broaden my horizons?"

Upon hearing this, King Zhu Shuang of Qin's eyes flickered with doubt. Wasn't he unwilling just a moment ago? How could he suddenly change his mind so quickly?

However, Wang Yuemin's willingness to go with him was good news, so how could he refuse? He nodded frantically.

News of the envoy's arrival in the Ming Dynasty spread quickly, a joyous occasion for all the people of Yingtian Prefecture.

It was as if everyone shared in the glory.

Especially recently, many strange people have been coming to Yingtian Prefecture.

The International Pavilion and the Four-Sided Pavilion were both packed with people.

On this day, several short people with braids on their heads and extremely ugly appearances appeared on the streets of Yingtian City.

People on the street were talking about these people, as they were quite a novel sight.

These people were envoys from Japan.

The leader was Koizumi Kameshiro.

Koizumi Kameshiro arrived in Yingtian Prefecture with a group of envoys. He was very unhappy to see people pointing and whispering about him.

For some reason, I always have the feeling of being looked at like a monkey.

The deputy envoy, Kameda Higo, standing to the side was extremely dissatisfied.

"These Ming Dynasty people are so rude! How dare they look at us like that? We are here on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, from the Land of the Rising Sun!"

"How dare these lowly Ming people look at us like that?"

Koizumi Kameshiro snorted coldly.

"When I see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely denounce them in front of him. These lowly commoners deserve to be ruled by the Yuan people in the north!"

The thing these Japanese pirates were most proud of was that when Kublai Khan, the Yuan emperor, conquered Japan, he annihilated their entire army in several campaigns.

They were simultaneously conquered by most powerful nations, including the Central Plains, which had been their teacher for thousands of years.

Meanwhile, their country of Japan remained peaceful, leading them to believe that they were protected by the Yamata no Oota (the Great God of the Eight-Headed Serpent).

They believe that Japan is no longer a small country at sea, but should be the most powerful and noble country in the world.

The fact that they were able to plunder the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty many times and still escape unscathed shows that the Ming Dynasty's strength is now much weaker than theirs.

This time, we might be able to gain even more benefits from the Ming Dynasty.

An old man was passing by carrying a load of firewood on his back.

Perhaps the ropes weren't tied properly; the ropes binding the firewood came loose, and the firewood scattered all over the ground, blocking the path of these Japanese envoys.

Enraged by this situation, Kameda Higo kicked out. "You lowly commoners, you are an inferior race! How dare you block our path! I am a distinguished guest invited by your Great Ming Dynasty. If I am late, even if you chop off your entire family, it won't be enough to compensate for my trouble!"

The old man was very old; he couldn't possibly withstand such a thing.

The old man coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground groaning.

People on the street were shocked by what they saw.

These barbarian people from foreign lands dared to harm people when they came to the land of the Great Ming.

A group of people surrounded them.

The messengers were somewhat frightened when they saw so many people there.

"What are you troublemakers trying to do?"

"We are envoys from the Great Japanese Empire, honored guests of your Ming Dynasty. What are you trying to do? Do you intend to rebel?"

"If you don't dare to move, the Emperor of Great Xia will hold you accountable for even the smallest thing!"

Soon, the soldiers from the Five Cities Garrison arrived at the scene. The leader, seeing so many people gathered together, immediately surrounded the area.

"What happened? Why are you all gathered in one place?"

Everyone was excited when they saw the officials arrive.

"Soldiers, you've finally arrived! These barbarians dared to commit violence in the street; we saw it all!"

"Yes, that's right, we must catch them, we can't let them get away!"

The centurion, seeing that the conflict was between several envoys, frowned deeply.

Although many people from various countries have come during this period, this is the first time such a blatant act of causing trouble has occurred.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Under these circumstances, punishing them would be detrimental to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but if he pretended not to see it, he would probably be criticized behind his back.

Just then, a dozen or so officials from the Ministry of Rites ran over.

This happened so suddenly that many of them were unprepared.

After learning what had happened, an official from the Ministry of Rites said.

"Both sides have done this, so I think the deceased should just pay some compensation and let the matter drop!"

"Our envoys are guests, so how can we, as the hosts, be so petty?"

The surrounding people were furious when they heard this, never expecting that they would be the ones to react.

How could a government official speak like that?

The Japanese envoy was extremely pleased to hear this, as expected these people dared not offend him.

"Haha, you lowly commoners dare to offend me? This is not our fault. If you insist on making us pay, we will have no choice but to tell your Minister of Rites or your Emperor. Then you will all be in deep trouble!"

The officials in charge of the Ministry of Rites were terrified upon hearing this.

If this matter were to be told to the Emperor or the Minister, their future would be ruined.

Upon realizing this place, a struggle flashed in the eyes of these officials.

Then he spoke to the old man.

“The messenger is right. If you hadn’t been lying here, things wouldn’t have come to this!”
