Si Shao hurriedly said: "What plan do you have, come quickly." ”

Ba Zhidao: "I want to marry Mu Ming to Zhang Si to tie his heart, Zhang Si will be desperate for my use, and he will definitely help me unify Ryukyu." ”

Si Shao smiled when he heard this: "Ba Zhi, do you want to learn from Sun Quan to marry your sister?" For my father, I'm afraid that you will lose your wife and lose your soldiers. ”

Ba Zhi smiled: "Father, my family Mu Ming is not young, since she returned from studying in Daming, I told him a few family affairs, she was not satisfied, I feel that she went to Daming after her eyes were broadened, and she couldn't look down on our Ryukyu ordinary division." Zhang Si is a native of Daming, according to my observation, he should have a good position in Daming before, and he is worthy of our family Muming, isn't this just a matter of killing two birds with one stone. ”

Si Shao said: "Then you try it, don't be reluctant, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat." ”

Ba Zhi smiled: "Father, don't worry, my little sister will definitely be willing." ”

So Ba Zhi came to the backyard wing, supported the servant, and said to his sister Mu Ming: "Little sister, do you know what my brother's greatest wish is? ”

Mu Ming blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "I know that the eldest brother wants to unify Ryukyu in his lifetime, end the situation of the dispute between the Three Kingdoms, and return the people to a peaceful world." ”

Ba Zhi patted Mu Ming's shoulder with relief and said, "The little sister who knows me is also." That's why I sent you to Daming to learn the Confucian etiquette classics, so that I could lay the foundation for my Ryukyu culture and education in the future. Now there is one thing, brother, I need your help, if you are willing, the unification of the Ryukyus is just around the corner. ”

Mu Ming said excitedly: "Brother, what do you need me to do?" As long as I can, I will do it. ”

Ba Zhi looked at his sister, held her shoulders, and said affectionately: "Little sister, you can definitely do it." I want you to marry Zhang Si. ”

Mu Ming was startled when he heard this, broke free from Ba Zhi, turned around, and remained silent.

Ba Zhi turned to Mu Ming and asked softly, "Why little sister, don't you want to?" ”

Mu Ming said in a low voice: "Why does my brother want me to marry that Zhang Si, I don't know anything about his temperament, knowledge, hobbies and habits, and I will be able to live in harmony in the future." Besides, what kind of ability does he have, and how can he help our family to dominate the Ryukyus. ”

Ba Zhi smiled: "Little sister, you don't know anything about this. This Zhang Si once saved my life, so I asked him to be the head of our soldiers and horses in Zuoshiki City, training my military horses, and now he has trained this rabble under my command into an elite army, with Zhang Si, I will definitely be able to level the Three Kingdoms and unify the Ryukyus. But Zhang Si will return to Daming after a while, in order to keep him here and help your brother and me, I want to marry you to him, and we will become a family in the future, and he will definitely help me. Besides, since you came back from Daming, you have always admired the demeanor of Daming, so you changed your name to Mu Ming, I will find a Ming hero to make a good match for you, are you still not satisfied? ”

Mu Ming snorted and said: "Ming hero Zhang Si, I don't know his details, just marry him in such a rash manner, I'm afraid his name is fake." ”

Ba Zhi said a little anxiously: "I don't care if his name is Zhang San Zhang Si, and I don't care who he was before, as long as he can be used by me, I must leave him behind, no matter what method is used." Little sister, think about it carefully. With that, he brushed his sleeves away.

Mu Ming stood for a long time, then went out, walked to the small courtyard where Zhu Yunwen and others lived, knocked lightly on the courtyard door, and after a while, someone inside came out to open the door, it was Huang Zhan who was pseudonymous as Kongyin.

When Mu Ming saw Huang Zhan, his face showed a look of joy and sadness, and he said to him, "Master Empty Seal, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Huang Zhan was a little strange, and he was not good at disobedience, so he nodded, took the courtyard gate, and Mu Ming and the two of them walked along the alley to a cliff by the sea, facing the turbulent waves, the oncoming sea breeze, and the empty seal monk of the Yushu standing beside him, Mu Ming couldn't help but shed sad tears.

Huang Zhan was a little puzzled, and asked softly: "Mu Ming, what is sad in your heart, can you tell me about it?" ”

Mu Ming suddenly turned around and threw himself into his arms, crying sadly: "Master Kongyin, my brother is going to marry your junior brother Zhang Si. ”

Huang Zhan was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't bear to push her away, so he had to stand up straight and let her hug her, hearing her say this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Isn't this a good thing, why are you crying?" ”

Mu Ming cried even harder, hugged Huang Zhan tighter, and said intermittently: "Master Empty Seal, but I like you." Don't you know? ”

When Huang Zhan heard this, his face turned red, and he hurriedly pushed her away, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, sin, sin." I am a monk, how can I marry a wife and have children, isn't this a transgression? ”

Mu Ming pursed his lips and said, "Who said that in our Ryukyu, monks can also marry wives and have children." ”

Huang Zhan said embarrassedly: "After Buddhism spread to Japan and the Ryukyus, it was divided into many sects, and some temples married wives and had children in order for the abbot to pass on from generation to generation. We don't have this rule in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Mu Ming raised his face and said expectantly: "Then can't you stay here for me, I will ask my brother to build a temple for you, you will be the abbot, I will make a fire for you to cook, take care of the housework, in our spare time, we will chant poems and paint, have a bunch of sons, inherit the family temple, and pass it on from generation to generation, wouldn't it be good?" ”

Huang Zhan saw that she was a little stupid when she said it, and she didn't feel a little moved, and suddenly the tragic appearance of her wife and daughter jumping into the river flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but turn her heart sideways, and said to Mu Ming: "I'm sorry, Miss Mu Ming, I have a wife and a daughter." ”

Mu Ming was shocked when he heard this: "You have a wife and daughter, so why do you want to become a monk?" ”

Huang Zhan said sadly: "They were killed by traitors, so I worship under the door of Master Kongwen, shave my will, do not take revenge, and never return the vulgar." So please Miss Mu Ming died of this heart and find another good match. ”

Mu Ming said with a sad expression: "I know." You must be the remnants of Emperor Jianwen and have taken refuge here. I don't know if that Zhang Si also has a wife? ”

Huang Zhan said: "Miss Mu Ming, you have to ask him about this, I don't want to say more." Why did your brother marry you to my brother? ”

Mu Ming looked like his heart was like ashes, and said lazily: "He wants to unify Ryukyu and use me to win people's hearts." ”

Huang Zhan was shocked when he heard this, and secretly said that this Ba Zhi's ambition is not small.

The two gossiped again, Huang Zhan had seen it for a long time, and he was afraid of causing others to misunderstand, so he sent Mu Ming back, Mu Ming was listless along the way, and a freshly lit girl's love fire was ruthlessly extinguished.

Zhang Shixing ended a day's training life, returned to the small courtyard from the barracks, as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw a few servants standing in the courtyard, and the baskets around him were full of various gifts, including gold and silver, food and clothing, etc., he felt a little strange, so he stepped into the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that Liang Rui, the chief of the division's house, was sitting in the house, gossiping with Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zhan stood aside, and when he came in, everyone looked up and looked at him with a smile.

He was a little puzzled, and asked Liang Rui: "Liang Changshi, I have been taken care of by you on weekdays, why did you give so many gifts today for no reason?" ”

Liang Rui hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Zhang Jiaotou, congratulations to Zhang Jiaotou." ”

Zhang Shixing didn't know why, some of the second monks were confused, and asked, "Liang Changshi, I like to come?" ”

Liang Rui said: "My family is grateful to Simeng Zhang Jiaotou for saving his life, and I see that Zhang Jiaotou is strong in martial arts and heroic, so I want to marry my little sister Miss Mu Ming to Zhang Jiaotou as his wife, isn't this a great joy?" ”

Zhang Shixing waved his hand again and again: "Liang Changshi, this is absolutely unacceptable, I already have a wife in Daming, how can I stop my wife and remarry, besides, we will return to Daming in the near future, and we don't plan to live here for a long time, how can we marry a wife, isn't it delaying Miss Muming's life?" ”

Liang Rui said: "Daming and Ryukyu belong to two countries, you have a wife room in Daming, and marry another room in Ryukyu, not counting stopping and remarrying, we Fujian people have more than 36 rooms, and we have a wife room in Daming, and don't they all marry another room in Ryukyu." I guess you have taken refuge in the Ryukyus, so you might as well wait a few more years and go back when the situation settles down. During this period, how to spend the long night, it is better to marry a wife and have children here, depending on the situation, you can advance or retreat. Besides, your master has already agreed to this family business, how can you, as an apprentice, disobey the master's decree? ”

Zhang Shixing looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise, Zhu Yunwen smiled at him, and then said to Liang Rui: "Liang Changshi, please come back, this matter is on me, I will talk to my disciples, he must be willing." ”

After Liang Rui heard this, he took his leave.

Zhang Shixing hurriedly stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Master, how can you promise them? ”

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Huang Zhan and said, "The teacher thinks that what your senior brother said is reasonable, so you can be wronged." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly said: "Master, what is called a grievance, you don't discuss it with you in advance. ”

Huang Zhan said: "Senior brother, don't blame Master for this matter, I made it happen, because this matter is related to the success or failure of our great cause of restoration." ”

As soon as Zhang Shixing heard that this matter was very important, he gradually calmed down and said to Huang Zhan: "Senior brother, you said that this matter is related to the success or failure of our restoration cause, please tell me carefully, if what you say is reasonable, I am willing to marry her even if she is a sow." ”

Huang Zhan said with a smile: "Senior brother is serious, that Miss Muming, knowledgeable and beautiful, you are lucky to marry her." ”

Zhang Shixing waved his hand and said, "Senior brother, don't laugh at me, if you have any reason, tell me quickly." ”

Huang Zhan asked him unhurriedly, "Senior brother, do you know why Na Bazhi must marry his sister to you?" ”

Zhang Shixing was puzzled: "How do I know this, you go and ask him?" ”

Huang Zhan Zhengse said: "I Guan Naba Zhiqi is not small, he wants to dominate the Ryukyus. ”

Zhang Shixing was even more puzzled: "What does this have to do with our great cause of restoration, this is Ryukyu, and we always have to return to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Huang Zhan said: "Senior brother, why did we lose that great country, it is because we are upright and can't be surprised, we only know how to follow the straight path, and don't understand the tricks. ”

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and said to Huang Zhan: "The empty seal has finally enlightened." ”

Huang Zhan continued: "Senior brother, if Na Ba Zhi wants to marry his sister to you, he has taken a fancy to your talent as a commander and wants to use your ability to unify Ryukyu for him. ”

Zhang Shixing said in disgust: "Then why should I be at his mercy? ”

Huang Zhan said: "He wants to use you, and we can also use him in turn." ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he was surprised and asked, "How can you use him in turn?" ”

Huang Zhan said: "You first promise to marry him, he will naturally trust you, hand over the military power to you, after you master the military power, with the help of his power to unify the Ryukyus, and then abolish him, help the master to ascend to the throne, and use this place as a base for the revival of the great cause, and then contact the Mu family in Yunnan, raise the banner of righteousness, cross the sea to the west, and attack twice, so that the restoration is expected and the great cause can be accomplished." ”

Zhang Shixing couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard him say this.
