Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

“A squad of Han soldiers is missing?”

This sudden event caused many Japanese people in the main hall to frown slightly, but they did not realize the seriousness of the problem for a while, and thought that the Han soldiers were just lost because they were unfamiliar with the area.

However, Luo Bin's face sank, and he seemed to suppress his anger as he spoke.

“Queen Himiko, our Han soldiers have strict military discipline and would never go out without permission. Furthermore, if one or two soldiers went out without permission and lost their way, there might be some possibility, but a whole squad of soldiers is missing. Could there be another conspiracy?”

“Please, Queen Himiko, quickly send people to search for them to ensure the safety of that squad of soldiers, otherwise, I will report Yamatai's attitude to my superiors.”

This implied threat made Himiko feel angry, but she did not dare to lose her temper, so she could only immediately order people to search everywhere.

The disappearance of a squad of Han soldiers was undoubtedly a major event. While Himiko sent more people to search everywhere, she also intentionally said some words to ease the atmosphere.

The Great Han is, after all, a behemoth standing in the Central Plains.

However, the disappearance of a squad of Han soldiers made Luo Bin keep a straight face and remain silent. This made Himiko speak twice in a row without response, and she could only give up and wait quietly for the result in the main hall.

Now, the capital of Yamatai is not large, and coupled with the obvious differences in height and dress between the Japanese and the Han people, Himiko believes that it will not take much effort to find that squad of Han soldiers.

It just so happens that this can be used to show that Yamatai also values and respects the Great Han, so as to build a bridge for dialogue with the Great Han's envoys and avoid Gou奴country completely winning over the Great Han.

However, time passed moment by moment.

No news of finding that squad of Han soldiers came, which not only made Luo Bin's face, as an envoy, even more ugly, but even the Japanese people in the main hall were agitated. Under Himiko's instruction, they repeatedly entered and exited the hall to personally urge and confirm the situation.

Until dusk approached.

Luo Bin slowly stood up, his face solemn and gloomy, and said, “May I ask, Queen Himiko, is there a result?”

This tone full of questioning made Himiko's expression not very good, but she could only patiently say.

“Please wait a moment, Envoy.”

“In my opinion, it seems that there is no need for that, right?”

Luo Bin waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice.

“Yingzhou is just a small place, and the mere Yamatai country is even smaller, only a square inch. This so-called capital is even sparsely populated. A whole squad of my Han soldiers disappeared and could not be found after searching for half a day. If it wasn't for you, Queen Himiko, secretly instructing them to be taken away, could there be any other possibility?”

“Queen, could it be that you want to threaten me with the lives of that squad of Han soldiers, threatening the Great Han? Could it be…”

Luo Bin looked around, pointed at Himiko behind the pearl curtain, and said loudly.

“Does the Queen think that my Great Han's sword is not sharp enough?”

As soon as this was said, it was undoubtedly pointing at Himiko's nose in front of many Japanese people, scolding, questioning, and threatening!

This made Himiko feel particularly aggrieved, and a burst of anger rose up. Thinking of the rumored weakness of the Great Han, thinking of Luo Bin's intentional or unintentional support for Gou奴country, and thinking that she, as the queen of a country, could not allow such a Han person to clamor in front of her.

Moreover, as a woman, Himiko can control the entire Yamatai country because she relies on the theory of gods and ghosts to maintain her own dignity, so that the Japanese people up and down Yamatai believe that Himiko can communicate with gods and ghosts.

If she humbly shows weakness in front of Luo Bin, it will also shake the foundation of Himiko's rule over Yamatai.

Immediately, driven by a surge of anger, Himiko, hidden behind the pearl curtain, retorted.

“Even if the Great Han's sword is sharp, can it still be swung to Yingzhou?”

“You…”

Hearing this, Luo Bin wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Himiko, who was feeling a burst of pleasure in her heart at the moment.

“The real envoy sent by General Protector of the Japanese should be the Han Chinese Li Ji, right? You are just a small official under Li Ji's command. This queen has nothing to say to you. As for the matter of that squad of Han soldiers, you should go back and let the envoy Li Ji come here in person, and this queen will give Li Ji an explanation.”

Luo Bin laughed angrily, and said repeatedly.

“Good, good, good, I will report the Queen's words to my superiors without missing a word, but as for whether my Great Han's sword is sharp or not, don't say that I didn't warn you.”

After saying that, Luo Bin glanced around with a look of disdain, let out a sneer, waved his sleeves, and left directly as if he regarded the Japanese people in the main hall as nothing.

However, before Luo Bin could leave the main hall, the Japanese soldiers guarding the main hall blocked Luo Bin's path with their weapons.

A military officer who seemed to be of extremely high status within the Yamatai country stood up and said a lot in Japanese.

Luo Bin looked back coldly, without a trace of fear, but the Goguryeo people following Luo Bin translated tremblingly.

“The Han people are so rude in front of the Queen, do they still want to leave like this? Do you think that the swords of our Yamatai country cannot cut off the heads of the Han people?”

Luo Bin's face remained unchanged, he raised his chin, and said coldly.

“You mere Japanese people, dare to kill me? My neck is here, if you have the ability, cut off my head. The Han people are not afraid of death, as long as you Japanese dare to bear the name of killing the Han envoy, you can draw your swords.”

As the Goguryeo people translated this sentence in a humble tone, the faces of the Japanese people in the entire main hall changed, but no one dared to speak.

The disappearance of a squad of Han soldiers was already a big problem.

But once Luo Bin lost his life in Yamatai, there would be no room for maneuver at all.

Luo Bin, however, did not wait for those Japanese people who were hesitant to make a decision. He laughed loudly three times, and strode towards the weapons blocking his way.

The two Japanese soldiers who were originally holding weapons and blocking Luo Bin instinctively retracted their weapons and watched Luo Bin leave with his hands behind his back, entering and leaving the Yamatai Palace as if he were in no man's land.

After Luo Bin left, the Japanese people in the main hall looked at each other, feeling aggrieved and angry, but they did not dare to take the initiative to keep Luo Bin.

Himiko, sitting behind the pearl curtain, could not help but feel a little hesitant and worried in addition to the pleasure in her heart, and then stepped up the dispatch of people to search for the missing Han soldiers.

There was one thing that Luo Bin did not say wrong.

With the obvious recognition of the Han soldiers, it is impossible for them to disappear for no reason and not be found.

Either it was done by someone in power in Yamatai, or it was…

At least, quite a few people knew the truth. Besides Li Ji and Jia Xu, Luo Bin, who went to Yamatai, and many of his entourage were also in the know.

Moreover, Jia Xu noticed that Li Ji seemed to be particularly merciful towards his own people. Apart from ordering Luo Bin and his entourage not to spread the word, he didn't make any special arrangements.

In Jia Xu's view, this was undoubtedly a weakness.
