After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao's face turned black.

Then Princess Lingzhao said:

"I don't know where you got the emperor's nickname from, but since you dare to call the emperor by his name, you are definitely not from Japan, so you must be a Chinese.

You are also a capable Chinese person since you were able to rescue me from the military camp.

I am very grateful to you for rescuing me, but I hope you can take me to the Ryukyu Kingdom, find the commander of the Chinese army, and ask him to send troops to Japan."

"What good will that do me?" Wei Xiaobao said with an obsessive thought.

"After you succeed, you can ask me to give you gold, silver, high positions, generous salaries, beauties and land."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao said, "Those are just empty promises. What benefits can you give me?"

Although Princess Lingzhao didn't understand what Wei Xiaobao meant by the blank check, she also understood that the other party was asking for a benefit from her.

None of the children who grew up in the political circle are stupid.

"I understand what you mean, but I must offer my body to the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army. Otherwise, I am penniless now and can only use my own body to ask for reinforcements!" Princess Lingzhao said helplessly, and then she lowered her head sadly.

After a while, Princess Lingzhao calmed down and said:

"I really can't give you anything good right now. I only have four maids left. They are still in the Oda military camp in Naha. Since you are good at stealing people in the middle of the night, go and steal them all out. I will give them to you."

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, his eyes rolled up and he was speechless. Was he praising himself or mocking himself for stealing people? And he wanted to help her steal 4 more people.

Stealing someone now is the same as seeking death.

.........

At this time there was a knock on the door outside.

Shuang'er came in from outside. After taking a look at Princess Lingzhao who was still tied to the chair, she said to Wei Xiaobao:

"Sir, the military camps in Okinawa Bay are the same as those in Naha, divided into left and right camps.

The left camp belongs to the Hojo family, with 20,000 soldiers, and the right camp belongs to the Uesugi family, with 30,000 soldiers.

Just like Naha, all the soldiers were made up of the old, weak, sick and disabled civilians."

"Are you a scout of the Chinese army? Are you trying to find out the situation of the Japanese army?" Princess Lingzhao stared at Wei Xiaobao and said.

"Do you understand Chinese?" Wei Xiaobao asked doubtfully.

Princess Lingzhao changed her Japanese language and said in pure Chinese: "Of course I can speak Chinese. There are teachers in the palace who teach Chinese since I was a child."

It seems that the Japanese have been stealing from China since ancient times, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself.

When Shuang'er heard that Princess Lingzhao could speak Chinese, she said coldly, "Since you can speak Chinese, you are not allowed to speak Japanese in front of us."

In Shuang'er's eyes, this girl is still her captive.

"Shuang'er, let me introduce you. This is the elder sister of the Emperor of Japan, Princess Ling Zhao."

"Humph, it's not like I haven't seen a princess before." Shuang'er turned her face to the side and muttered softly.

Wei Xiaobao then said to Princess Lingzhao: "This is my wife, Shuang'er."

When Shuang'er heard her husband introduce himself as Madam to another woman, she immediately turned around and said to Princess Lingzhao with a smile, "Just call me Madam Wei."

"Hello, Mrs. Wei"

"Yeah," Shuang'er responded.

Women's intuition is sensitive, and Princess Lingzhao sensed the hostility from Madam Wei.

Princess Lingzhao thought that if she wanted the Chinese military couple to take her to the Ryukyu Kingdom, she had to eliminate Madam Wei’s hostility, so she said:

"Just call me Sister Ling Zhao!"

"Well then, Shuang'er, quickly release Sister Lingzhao's hands and untie the rope. Don't hurt Sister Lingzhao."

Shuang'er rolled her eyes at Wei Xiaobao and said, "You call me sister so sweetly." But her hands obeyed the order and untied the rope for Princess Lingzhao.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wei." Zhao Ling said as he stretched his arms and legs after being untied.

"We are about to set off, what are you going to do?" Wei Xiaobao asked Princess Lingzhao.

"I'll follow you. I'll go wherever you go. You promised to take me to the Ryukyu Kingdom." Ling Zhao said.

"I didn't promise you. I still have to spy on military intelligence." Wei Xiaobao said.

"What military intelligence do you want? I'll tell you everything I know." Princess Lingzhao is also a smart person, so she'll start with what you like.

"I'm going to go to those scattered and small daming coalition forces to gather information on the military situation," said Wei Xiaobao.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. As long as you take me to see the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, I will make them surrender." Princess Lingzhao said confidently.

"What? That's a coalition force of 50,000. It is said that it is composed of nearly a hundred local daimyos and tribes. Do you have such great ability?" Wei Xiaobao said in disbelief.

"Whether you have such great ability or not, you will know when you arrive in Ryukyu Kingdom and meet the commander of the Chinese army." Princess Lingzhao still answered confidently.

How could a princess like you conquer an army of 50,000? This made Wei Xiaobao so curious that she would not give up until the cat was killed.

"If you don't tell me, I won't take you to the Ryukyu Kingdom." Wei Xiaobao was getting angry.

"If you don't take me to Ryukyu Kingdom, I will never tell you." Princess Lingzhao also started to argue.

When Shuang'er saw her husband and the princess staring at each other, she had the intuition that she was a woman who had let a wolf into the house.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Wei Xiaobao compromised first and said, "Can you reveal a little bit?"

"cannot"

"Can't you even reveal a little bit?"

"no"

"Then you win, let's go back to Ryukyu Shuri Castle." Wei Xiaobao said helplessly.

In fact, Wei Xiaobao knew that military situation could change at any time.

Taking advantage of the internal strife among the five super daimyo, they first took down the first and second lines of defense. The first and second lines of defense are the largest outlets to the sea in the Zhongshan Islands and have always been strategic locations.

After occupying Naha and Okinawa Bay, the Yamanaka Islands (now Okinawa Island) were basically under control, and two of the three major archipelagos of the Ryukyu Kingdom were under control.

The remaining time was devoted to dealing with the 50,000-strong coalition forces in the Yamakita Islands and the 50,000-strong garrison of the Tokugawa family.

When Princess Lingzhao heard Wei Xiaobao say that he was going back to Ryukyu right away, she was so happy that she gave Wei Xiaobao a hug.

Shuang'er had a very unhappy face. She couldn't lose her temper in front of outsiders. Shuang'er was so tired!

Princess Lingzhao hugged Wei Xiaobao and suddenly remembered that she was going to marry the Chinese scout's immediate superior. How could she hug him so casually?

His face turned red and he pushed hard.

Wei Xiaobao staggered and almost fell.

Shuang'er quickly reached out to help him, but silently said in her heart: "Serves you right!"

Princess Lingzhao smiled awkwardly and said, "I still don't know your benefactor's name."

"Wei Xiaobao!" Wei Xiaobao said unhappily.

"Brother Xiaobao!" Princess Lingzhao called out in a flattering manner.

When Shuang'er heard this, she was shocked. How could she call him by the same name as Princess Jianning?

After a while, the three men and two riders set off.

Of course, Wei Xiaobao rode one horse, and Shuang'er and Princess Lingzhao shared one.

We rushed all the way to Shuri Castle.
