Liu Pei said: "The sooner the better. It would be best to make a deal with the Shimazu family before the news of their defeat spreads. I'm afraid that something will change later! ”

Liu Dahai pondered for a moment and said, "I'm simple here, and I can set off today." It's just that when will the ship be ready? ”

Liu Pei said: "The boat will be ready in the afternoon. The Jiyuan is in the open sea, you take him. However, the channel of the bay is not yet open, and the few of you will have to climb the mountains to the seashore and take a small boat to get on the boat. And when you arrive in the Wa Kingdom, you have to remember one thing, that is, be bold and careful! I think the Shimazu family will definitely send someone to intimidate you! Maybe you'll put the knife on your neck, and will you pee your pants when you pour it down? ”

Liu Dahai smiled bitterly and said, "Owner, will they really do this?" ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Believe me, they will definitely do this!" If you're scared, ask the sailors to put a few knives around your neck while you're on the boat to feel it. ”

Liu Dahai's hair stood up when he listened! But at this moment, the arrow has to be sent. I had to agree to it. Later, Liu Pei specially analyzed with him one by one what he might encounter when he went to Shimazu's house, as well as the problems that might be mentioned. Then let Liu Dahai hurry up and prepare.

Then Liu Pei called Aso. As soon as Aso Zhi entered the door, Liu Pei bowed and said, "My lord, I don't know what you called me to do?" ”

Liu Pei said: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just telling you, I've prepared the boat back to Shimazu's house for you. In the afternoon, you will be able to bring the ashes of Hisataka Kashiyama on board. ”

Aso was not very happy after hearing this, but he still paid homage to Liu Pei. said, "Thank you, sir." I'm sorry for the adult. ”

Liu Pei looked at Aso's watch and knew what he was thinking. After all, it's not pleasant to know that your death is near. But considering that this person revealed a lot of the Shimazu family's situation to himself, and the use of the next step, Liu Pei still said: "Aso, if you don't want to go back to the Shimazu family, you can stay with me." ”

Aso bowed again and said, "Thank you for your attention." It's just that my family is still in my house, and I have to go back. ”

Liu Pei was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, I respect your choice." I'll tell you a few more things. That is, a messenger will go back with you in the same boat. I really wanted to reach an armistice with the Shimazu family, so I sent him to talk about it. So when you are on the road, I hope you can give him more guidance on the living habits of the Japanese country. ”

Aso said, "Understood. I will definitely do my best under it. ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Then please leave it to you." There's another thing for you. ”

After talking about Liu Pei

Pick up a tiny little pocket from the table and hand it to him. Aso took the small pocket and opened it in surprise, and found that there were seven or eight small gold ingots inside. The hemp rope system looked up at Liu Pei in surprise and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu Pei said slowly: "Although the two of us have not been in contact for a long time, it can be seen that you are a brave and honest person. This time, the two of us are fighting, but it has affected you. When you go back, I'm afraid you won't be dead soon. The money in it can be regarded as leaving a way out for your family! ”

Aso Zhi knelt down with an excited "plop". You can't blame Aso for being excited, in a situation like him, the head of the family died in battle, and he is alive. Even if you go back, you won't get good fruit to eat. If he still wants to keep the honor of a samurai and prevent his children from being ridiculed after he returns, the only way to do this is seppuku.

But it doesn't matter if he dies, but his family will definitely be expelled from the Lord's house. As a samurai, he and his family had to be attached to the main family in order to survive. Once he dies and his family is expelled, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, he will be reduced to become a civilian. So the money Liu Pei gave him was life-saving money, so he couldn't help but be excited!

Liu Pei saw him kneeling down and hurriedly went to help him, but Aso refused to get up. He threw his head on the ground and said, "My lord, there is one thing to ask for below, and if you don't agree, you will never get up below." ”

Liu Pei didn't pull him up a few times, so he was a little angry. I feel that Aso is blackmailing himself. However, Liu Pei still controlled Xu and said: "Then tell me, let me hear what is going on?" ”

Aso straightened up and said with a solemn face: "My lord, I hope that when the messenger of the lord returns, he can bring back my wife and children and let them live under the command of the adult." My son's name is Koichi Aso, he is 20 years old this year, and he is already a great samurai! He also had the experience of winning a duel with someone! I hope that the adults will accept him as a retainer to serve the adults. ”

Liu Hui lost her anger when she heard Aso Zhi say this, and suddenly she also had the talent to make people worship! However, Liu Pei did not faint and immediately agreed, and only after reining in his thoughts did he carefully look at Ashengzhi.

Liu Pei has always hated the Japanese people, so he has never looked at Aso carefully. At this time, I looked at Aso and found that this person was probably forty or fifty years old. A square face with a Chinese character and heavy eyebrows. but was born with a good looks.

Liu Pei said, "Why did you make this arrangement? Is it bad to live in Wakoku? ”

Aso sighed and said, "My lord." This time the head of the family died. As a retainer, if I don't cut my stomach, I will forever be saddled with the infamy of a coward for the rest of my life and my children. However, as a samurai, my whole life has been dedicated to the main family. And after years of fighting, I didn't leave any savings for my family. So I

After they die, once they are expelled from the master's house, and they have no livelihood skills, I am afraid that life will be extremely embarrassing! That's why I made this request to adults, please be sure to agree! ”

Liu Pei said strangely: "But, you have also contributed to the main family." Moreover, if you have a seppuku, it is also a clear crime, in which case, will the Lord still expel your family? ”

Aso said with a wry smile: "If I hadn't worried about this before. But the head of the family died too suddenly, and he left no arrangements for the affairs of the family. Therefore, the eldest prince will definitely inherit the position of the head of the family. And my eldest son was too strict with him when he was young, so he had a bad impression of me! So I'm closer to the little boy. When I go back this time, I am afraid that as soon as I die, the eldest prince will be angry with my family and expel them from the Huashan family. ”

Liu Pei understood, this is standing in the wrong line, worried about being settled by others. But when he thought about it, Liu Pei was happy. Originally, he was not kind-hearted to show favor to Aso, but hoped that Asoji would take more care of Liu Dahai when he was on the road, and give him more instructions on what he should pay attention to, so as to improve the probability of Liu Dahai coming back alive. But I didn't expect a small gesture of favor to have an unexpected gain.

If things really go the way Aso says, he will have a loyal subordinate. The best thing is that this man is still a mature samurai, and this samurai is still full of hatred for the Shimazu family and the Kayama family, so even better! He will become a sharp knife in Liu Pei's hands!

Thinking of this, Liu Pei said: "I promised you, you get up." ”

Aso immediately bowed again. Said: "Thank you so much! ”

Liu Pei stretched out his hand and picked up Aso's Zhi and said, "I have another suggestion, it's up to you to listen to it or not." If things are as you say, I will accept your family. But if you can not die, it is better not to die. I also welcome you. ”

Aso said with a wry smile, "Thank you for your kindness!" But I'm afraid I won't be able to come back alive! I'm sure my son will do better than me, though! Originally, the lord had already intended to pass on the throne to the little son, but the lord felt that the little son was still young and he could last a few more years, so he did not make arrangements in advance. But I didn't expect the head of the family to die in battle this time! He probably thought that only an adult eldest son could hold up the family at this time, so he didn't leave a last word. ”

Liu Pei also sighed and said: "War is like this!" Everyone has seen the greatness of achieving hegemony, and how many people have seen the white bones in the dust? Forget it, don't say more, just remember my words! ”

Aso bowed and said, "Thank you, sir! Then I'll go back and prepare. ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Go!" I'll send someone to call you out. ”
