It was already dark, but the rain from last night continued.
Outside a room, Bai Song opened the window and let the second prince look at Xiaokui inside.
"The pirates you brought last time seemed to be in the same situation as her. Now I need to know what is the reason for this?"
Bai Song had high expectations for the second prince and felt that he should be able to get information of concern from him.
The result was that Bai Song was disappointed. After reading it, the other party understood what Bai Song meant, but he failed to give a definite answer.
"Envoy, I don't know much about this situation."
"You don't understand either? Where did those pirates come from?"
"Those people are some scapegoats that my father found temporarily in order to give you a quick explanation. As for why they became like this, I don't know."
Bai Song frowned and gently closed the window.
After a night, Xiaokui's symptoms were not relieved at all. Her breathing was steady and she was relaxed. She didn't seem to have any symptoms, but her reaction was slow. She seemed to be in a state of absence. When asked, she didn't know anything, or she was in extreme discomfort. in thinking.
Although Xiaokui is from Japan, the other person along the way was one of the few Japanese people in the Bai Song Dynasty who deserved attention.
Therefore, Bai Song has always been concerned about Xiaokui's safety.
At the same time, this is also a warning not to be ignorant of such symptoms.
Xiaokui was the one who got tricked today, who can guarantee who it will be next time? What if you become a more important person around you? Or is it Bai Song himself?
The second prince's answer disappointed Bai Song.
Bai Song turned around and went to the eaves, looked at the rain curtain outside, was silent for a while and then asked: "What other information do you know?"
The second prince thought for a while: "Although I don't know why those people became like this, I know their true identities."
"what is the difference?"
"They are indeed pirates."
"so what?"
"They were the prisoners who were captured by my father before. Because they burned, killed, and looted, they caused a lot of public outrage, so my father sent out people to arrest them. Those people were originally extremely violent people who took pleasure in killing people. But after they were imprisoned for a period of time, everyone became like that. I once asked my father, but he did not elaborate. He only said that they had reformed in prison and had a new life. "
Bai Song frowned even more tightly, this situation became more and more like some neurotoxin.
Bai Song guessed that these people must have been poisoned, perhaps by some kind of toxin that he didn't understand and that wasn't even discovered by modern science.
The effect may be to paralyze people's nerves and make all their actions slow.
Although bold guesses can be made, it is impossible to find a complete cure.
However, the second prince gave another piece of information. The people he met last time were real pirates. Since they were pirates, then Tohka must know a lot about them.
There is no other way but to find out the origin of those pirates as much as possible.
"Where are those pirates?"
"The last time I handed it over to the envoy, the envoy asked our royal family to handle it on our own. After being sent back, I was executed by my father soon after. Now my father is also dead, and there is no way to get more information."
Bai Song didn't ask again, but turned around and went to Shixiang's room.
It was already dawn, Shixiang went out early in the morning, and happened to bump into Bai Song.
These days, Shixiang is a little depressed. Although she has her own purpose, she doesn't see what Bai Song wants to do after that, and she feels a little worried.
Seeing Bai Song coming to see him, he knew that he had something to do, which gave him a rare energy.
"Which of your pirates were captured by the royal family? Do you know?"
"of course."
"I need to know now how many pirates may be controlled by the royal family or Donghuang Pavilion."
Bai Song's idea was simple. Since the previous group of pirates had died, there should be other pirates who had been captured.
As long as we find ways to find more pirates, we may be able to get newer clues.
Shixiang understood what Bai Song meant and immediately went to investigate and verify.
There are many pirates, and they have always been against the royal family, and people are often caught.
Tohka's men may not have the courage to go against Donghuang Pavilion, but if they are asked to save their brothers, there is still no excuse.
During this gap, Bai Song needed to rearrange the arrangements for the second prince.
The second prince also needed some protection. Without Bai Song's arrangements, he would not even dare to leave the villa of the Tang Dynasty Mission.
Bai Song thought about it for a long time, and finally wrote a false document, calling the Second Highness of Japan, Yamada Chengmitsu, to be the consort of the Tang Dynasty, to marry Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty.
With this marriage certificate, the second prince is the prospective son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the fact that all forces in Japan dare not take action against Bieyuan, both the royal family and the Donghuang Pavilion need to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, with the news of the marriage, it can be regarded as an attitude to the royal family. The second prince will no longer compete for the throne, so that the situation will not be so tense.
The second prince felt relieved as he took the marriage certificate, and the news soon spread in Kyoto.
The people in Kyoto are peaceful. People all think that marrying the Tang Dynasty is a great joy. No one talks about the killing last night.
Because of a marriage certificate, all the tensions were restrained.
On the same day, the eldest prince took over the throne of Japan without any accidents and received the support and rectification of his name from the Donghuang Pavilion.
Everything seemed to have returned to peace.
But behind this layer of calm, Jiumei encountered a crisis of her own.
The Ninja Sect, which takes mission as its absolute core, will never tolerate anyone affecting the mission because of personal relationships.
As a ninja, it is impossible to have any unnecessary emotions.
Although Kumi was careful enough, she still couldn't avoid the observation of her own people.
That night, Jiumei and the people from the Tang Dynasty had an affair, which may have led to the failure of the mission.
Although Bai Song's last dark crossbow showed that the relationship between the two was not as harmonious as imagined, Jiumei must be responsible for this matter.
In the past, if there was such a failure, and there was no need for the Ninja sect to hold him accountable, Kumi would simply choose to commit suicide.
But her several years of life in the Tang Dynasty had quietly changed her inner persistence.
After experiencing countless lives and deaths, I feel the importance of life even more.
Want her to die? That's simply impossible!
Jiumei learned the news in advance and left the Ninja Sect alone, but was soon chased by the Ninja Sect.
There are many Ninja masters, and Kumi is just an insignificant one among them.
On the wall of the villa, Jiumei stopped with an injury. Did she want to ask for help from the people inside? But this ridiculous idea was quickly dismissed.
Thinking about that person's ruthless methods, why should you beg him now?
Jiumei still harbors a sense of resentment in her heart. As a ninja, she has some feelings for Bai Song, but the other person is more ruthless than a ninja. For his purpose, he kills her without hesitation!
