Chapter 50: See the Assassins Again
"Yaga!" A low voice came from the small courtyard of the farmhouse outside the city of Chaozhou, and in the faint light of the fire, more than a dozen black-clothed masked men were being scolded by a farmer, but the farmer's language was not any dialect of the Great Song Dynasty. The sheriff's atmosphere finally dissipated, and after the last voice of the farmer, all the men in black came together: "Hi~!" ”
At this time, a figure appeared in front of the door of the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and the knocking sound reached the ears of the man in black and the farmer in the house. The farmer immediately waved his hand, and the black-clothed people disappeared into the house with a "whoosh". The farmer immediately looked very tired after the black-clothed people disappeared, and came to the gate of the small courtyard with his waist and asked in authentic Chinese: "Who is it so late~!" ”
"Oh! Chen Xiaoer, I'll talk to you about buying your three acres of rice field tomorrow. Asked calmly outside the door.
The farmer rolled his eyes and immediately said, "Oh! It's so late, you can come tomorrow. ”
Outside the door hurriedly said: "No, I will go out early tomorrow morning, and only my daughter-in-law is at home." She can't be a woman, so you still open the door, and we'll discuss it tonight. ”
"Hey! Don't let people sleep in the middle of the night, really. Well, you wait, I'll open the door right away. With that, the farmer slowly opened the latch and opened the new door.
As soon as the people outside the door saw the farmer, they immediately made a look, and the farmer realized: "Please come in, and discuss it quickly." I've got something to do tomorrow and I'll leave when I get the money. After saying this, the farmer let the people outside the door into the house, and without looking at the door, he directly "Bang Dong ~ Bang!" "Close the door and keep it on a leash.
When he came to the house, the person who came in from outside the door looked around carefully, and the farmer's expression at this time was not at all the tired appearance just now, and he stared at the person in front of him with shrewd eyes and said, "All right! If you have something to say, it's very safe here. ”
The person who came sat down on the chair and said, "Brother Shanye, I have brought a new order, and the above wants you to cut the grass and eradicate the roots as soon as possible." So saying, the visitor took a sip of the cup on the table, who did not know.
"Yaga! We Dongying warriors don't need your weak Song people to dictate us, we will find a suitable time to get rid of the person you want to kill. The farmer said politely.
The person who came didn't care about his arrogance, and said indifferently: "You have to remember that your operation funds have been responsible for the past few years, if you are disobedient, hum!" Be careful that your head can't be saved. ”
As soon as the visitor said this, two people dressed in black and holding sharp blades suddenly appeared beside him, and directly compared the sharp knife to the neck of the visitor. The hand shook slightly, and a drop of tea from the cup spilled on the old table.
The farmer then said, "Hey, hey! We Toei samurai will not be dictated by others, we have our own principles. Don't deal with us like your weak Song people, it should be you who are really careful of your heads! With that, the farmer motioned for the two men in black to put down their weapons.
After the two black-clothed men disappeared, the man suddenly let go of the cup in his hand, pointed at the farmer and said, "Okay, you mountain boar head, now your wings are hard, and you are going to spread your wings and fly high?" Hum! I'm going to see how you do things beautifully. With that, someone slammed the door and walked out.
When the people left, a man in black flashed out and asked the boar head of the mountain wild boar: "Captain Shanye, please allow me to kill this arrogant and rude Song man and maintain the face of our Dongying warriors." ”
"Yaga!" The farmer cursed, turned around and smiled at the man in black and said in Chinese: "Don't be in a hurry now, when our great Oda Nobunaga dominates these four islands, he will come with the heroic warriors of Toei to slaughter the weak Song people, and then it will be the day when our mission will be completed." Now, don't worry. ”
It was dawn, and in these days when the Marquis Mansion was unreasonable, the four girls all felt uncomfortable. Only the young little prince is now playing beside them carefree, these girls have been staying at home for three days after listening to Liren's words, and they really can't stand it, and then the county lord began to speak: "Sisters, let's go to Chaozhou City for a walk." ”
Yang Feng applauded directly when he heard the county lord's suggestion, but Li Yuan on the side shook his head and said, "Sister, have you forgotten what happened to Liren some time ago?" Now when he leaves, he must be told that this matter is not over. Let's not go out. ”
"Yes, sisters, I don't think we're going to go out. The risk for us outside is too great, if anyone has any mistakes, how can you let me and Li Yuan's sister explain to Liren. Yang Lian was also discouraged.
When the county lord heard the two sisters say this, he immediately thought that Rihito almost died while protecting himself. Immediately, she nodded and bit her lip and said, "Thank you two sisters for your love, you blame me for being too willful." ”
Yang Lian chuckled and hugged the county lord and said, "In this case, no one blames you. We also really wanted to go out and have a good time on the streets. ”
Yang Feng raised her eyebrows at this time and cursed loudly: "These thieves who kill a thousand knives make our sisters confined at home, and they don't even dare to go out of the door, if they let their aunts and grandmothers catch them, they will definitely give them a thousand knives." ”
At this time, the young prince asked in a child's voice ignorantly: "Sister Feng, what is a thief?" What is a thousand cuts? What else is an aunt and grandmother, and can an aunt and grandmother eat it? ”
"You little villain." Yang Feng pinched the little prince's nose and said, "Grandma can't eat it, she can eat you." After speaking, Yang Feng and the little prince began to play and play, and the depression and anger of the room were swept away by the two children, one big and one young.
The little prince giggled and ran out of the door, teasing Yang Feng and saying, "Sister Feng can't catch me." Yang Feng said with a smile: "The little villain will see if I can catch it." The man immediately chased him out.
The two went from inside the house to outside the house, and gradually Yang Lian and Li Yuan also joined this happy group. The entire courtyard was suddenly filled with laughter, and the maids and servants passing by looked at the five sisters and brothers in the courtyard with smiling faces.
At this time, Liren was drinking tea with Lixin and Li Hai in the hut on his island to discuss Lixin's trip to Taiwan, and Liren said, "Lixin, what do you think of Taiwan's position?" ”
"When it comes to Taiwan, I really haven't thought much about it, but after I went to Taiwan this time, I knew that we must include it in our sphere of influence, and it is possible that Taiwan will be our best base." Rational thought and spoke.
Lehi was really a good observer, and he had been quietly listening to the discussion between Liren and Lixin. At this time, Li Ren said: "Yes, we must include Taiwan in our own sphere of influence, and we must use it as quickly as possible. ”
Li thought for a while and asked, "Big brother, it's good to use the fastest speed, but our population is simply not enough. What should I do? It can't be alive. ”
When Lehi saw that both of them had fallen into silence, his heart lit up and he suddenly said, "My lord, if you want me to say, you might as well find more beggars, they are a very good population." ”
"That's right!" Rihito and Lixin suddenly looked at each other, and their eyes lit up, and Rihito said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." Beggars are the best population resource, and now that there is a war going on both sides, how many children and young adults have become beggars, if we can gather them all, we will definitely be able to solve more than half of our population. ”
Rational echoed: "Yes, beggars, beggars! ”
"Hmmm! Are you going to form a gang of beggars? When Rihito heard Lixin say this, his eyes suddenly widened and he asked.
Lehi heard it all the way to the side, and now he said, "Beggar gang? Is there a gang surrounded by beggars? How come I don't know, lord? ”
"Hehe, don't listen to reasoned nonsense, how can there be a gang of beggars, if there is, I don't think I will be able to accept you talents." Rihito smiled and glared at Rijin. Then he said, "But we can now use our religion to unite these beggars and bring them all under our invisible rule." What do you think? ”
"It's very good for me to say that they all become beggars without any support or possessions, and if anyone gives birth to hands to receive them now, they will be very grateful, just like we felt when we met my lord." Lehi gave an example of how small it was.
Li Xin thought for a long time and agreed with what Li Hai said, but he put forward another opinion: "Big brother, I have no objection to you taking in these beggars, this can increase our population very quickly." But now you have a problem that you have to face. That's food, how can you take in so many people if you don't have enough food? Do you take them in and let them beg? ”
Li Ren frowned and said, "Yes, this is a problem, we have to bear their current food and drink." Now we have to build cities and develop firearms, and we can't wait. Grain! That's a problem. ”
At this time, Zhang Yue walked in from outside, and after saluting Li Ren and the others, he opened his mouth and said, "Could it be that the lord is very short of food now?" ”
"That's right! Is there a way for Mr. Zhang? Rihito looked up and asked.
"Huh! Lord's grace! Zhang Yue saluted Li Ren again, and Li Ren hurriedly let him into his seat and asked, "Please teach me, sir!" ”
"My lord, in the west there is the city of Champa, which produces rice, and it grows twice a year. The lord can take into account the occupation of the city to transport grain. Zhang Yue didn't sell Guan Zi at all, and directly said his thoughts.
Li Ren patted his head and laughed and said: "That's right, how did I forget such a good way as trade, what a mistake, hehe~ a mistake!" ”
"I didn't think of that?" Rational said depressedly on the side.
"Haha! The lord and the second island lord praised it falsely, but Zhang just knew a little. Zhang Yue said modestly.
Liren directly gave Zhang Yue a big hat: "Mr. Zhenai is the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, please accept my worship." After speaking, Liren bowed to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue hurriedly stood up and helped Liren and said ashamedly: "Lord! Not so, not so. ”
At this time, Li Xin said disdainfully to the two of them: "These two are really rotten Confucians." ”
Li Ren and Zhang Yue immediately looked at each other and smiled when they heard it.
The scene of laughter in the Marquis of Chaozhou's mansion did not last for a while, but it was interrupted by four people rushing out of the servants who injured Li Yuan. At this time, I saw that in the field, Li Yuan and the other four girls formed a protective circle, tightly protecting the little prince Zhao Dan. They all looked at the four family members who were very familiar with each other angrily, and Li Yuan scolded loudly: "Why are you doing this, we don't treat you badly on weekdays, right?" ”
"Ha~! Ha~! Ha~! Flower girl's, it's really funny. We haven't been here on weekdays, Houfu! What about your mistreatment? A servant laughed maniacally in an unfamiliar Chinese dialect.
Li Yuan immediately understood, and immediately said to the sisters: "Sisters and sisters! It's not the servant we see on weekdays, so you must be careful! ”
"Hmmm! Sister Li Yuan, don't worry! ”
"Sister Li Yuan, you have to be careful yourself."
"Sister Li Yuan, don't worry, these little thieves are not taken seriously by this girl."
In an instant, everyone was ready, and one of the four servants who spoke suddenly ordered: "Attack, arrest all these flower girls." ”
The assassins dressed as three servants rushed towards the four girls with the sharp blades in their hands, dang~! While~! While~! The two sides engaged in close combat, and in an instant they retreated to their original positions. The assassin who had just spoken immediately smacked his lips and conjured a knife out of nowhere. Immediately, along with the other three assassins, they rushed towards the girls who were surrounded. At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly was scratched by something, and she immediately thought of the air man she met when she was holding her arm, and she immediately reminded several sisters: "Sisters, pay attention, the air man appeared again." ”
Suddenly, the three girls' eyes swept around, trying to find out where those people were hiding. But no matter how much they looked, the air was still air.
"Ha~! Ha~! Ha~! It's been a long time since I've seen such a strange thing happen today, and someone actually came to the world with such a lame hiding technique. Hahaha!! ~~ Cripple, do you see that? ”
"Old drunkard, I'm not blind, how can I not see. Those who are not human beings in front of them will only have these lame ways to hide. Boring~~! ”
"Cripple, how do you know that I can't see blindly, your grandmother's, to be honest, you can't see as clearly as I can. If you don't believe me, ask Black Impermanence. ”
"I'm catching you~!"
"Damn, black impermanence, who are you caught? If I ask you again, do you hear me? ”
"You're here too~!"
"White impermanence~! What kind of fun are you making, I'll ask people about the impermanence of darkness again. ”
"Hey~! Hey~! Hey~! Hey~! Forgotten Soul Bridge, Forgotten Soul Soup. Who's going to take a sip ~ hey ~! Hey~! Hey~! Hey~! ”
"who called this old woman out, blind, do you know?"
Hearing these nonsensical conversations, the four disguised servants immediately looked around, but there was no one around, only the sound of the wind. At this moment, "Ah~! With a scream, a man in black fell out of the air. The four pretended servants took a look at it, and their hearts suddenly became cold.
