Chapter 942: Iwami Silver Mine

At night, the sound of the waves gradually stops, the waves are violent during the day, and the night is as docile as the Mianyang, and the moon hangs in the air, reflecting on the sea, there is a quiet beauty.

Ikyu and Toshibei sat opposite each other.

On the beach in front of the two of them, there was some food. There are three cups of pouring from Bashang Distillery, beef jerky produced by Cheng Fu, and snacks specially prepared by Liu Sanspoon for Li Mu and made of whale meat...... It's not a big meal, but for Toibei, it's already like a fairyland on earth.

Ikyu looked at the wolf-gobbling Rib Guard, and all he thought about was the scene when he was only a few years old, Ribyo Guard took him to run for his life, desperately protecting him. At the beginning, he was a very sturdy samurai, but now, he is like an old man, skinny and gray.

After being silent for a long time, Yixiu said: "In the past two years, I have benefited a lot and learned a lot. The Central Plains is vast, which is unimaginable to the people of our country. I don't want to stay in the country for the rest of my life, I want to live in a wider world, and after rescuing my father, I will take him to the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Libingwei, you can go with us. ”

Ribei was silent, just chewing silently. Ikkyu, who was familiar with his character, knew that this was Ribei's way of expressing his objections.

"I don't want to be the emperor." Ikyu said firmly: "Uncle Libingwei, when I arrived in Datang, I knew what the frog at the bottom of the well was. Our country is the bottom of the well, and we are all toads at the bottom of the well. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast, just one province is bigger than the entire country of our country. The whole country, I'm afraid it has to be dozens of times the size of the Japanese country. But isn't it ridiculous that those who rule such a vast territory only call themselves the Son of Heavenβ€”but in our Wa Kingdom, they call themselves emperors without taking their own measure? ”

The guard was silent, but his snort was already heavy. He was a patriot and a die-hard loyal to the Japanese state. How can he get used to listening to Ikyu, the future heir, and arranging his homeland? If it weren't for the loyalty to his father and son, it would have exploded a long time ago.

"The outstanding people of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is culture, technology, or etiquette, are far beyond the ...... of the Japanese Kingdom"

Li Bingwei finally couldn't help but want to speak, but was interrupted by Yixiu: "Uncle Li Bingwei, don't think that I am raising other people's morale to destroy my own prestige, this is the case!" Look at our country, what is not a scholar? We can't catch up! I can't deny it! ”

"Also," Yixiu looked at Li Mu by the bonfire not far away, lowered his voice, and said; "My mentor was born to know. I pride myself on being smart, but in front of my teacher, there is no secret, what I think and do, he can expect it, and there is nothing that I can surpass him-"

"How is this possible?" Li Bingwei watched Ikyu grow up and saw all kinds of miracles in Ikyu, he thought that Ikyu, the child, must be the smartest person in the world in the future, but Ikyu told him that there are people in this world who are born to know, is he an immortal?

Ikkyu nodded heavily and said, "I will follow the path of my mentor and go all the way until I die." ”

Ribei was silent for a long time, sighed, and took another sip of wine. He knew how tenacious Ikyu's willpower was, and since he said so, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to change his mind.

Ikyu continued: "Uncle Ribei, don't you love my country as a me? You know what? Before going to sea this time, I asked my mentor if he wanted to conquer the Japanese kingdom, and guess what he said? ”

Li Bingwei sneered and said, "Of course he lied to you in a high-sounding way?" Isn't it? ”

Ichiyu smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, it's okay." This is how the teacher replied to me, the country of Wa is like a chicken rib. ”

"Chicken ribs?" Li Bingwei didn't read much and couldn't understand this kind of parable, so Yixiu had to explain, saying: "The so-called chicken ribs are tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to abandon them." He never put the Wa Kingdom in his eyes, and in his heart, the Wa Kingdom may not even be as good as Silla and Baekje. ”

Ribei was furious: "How can he compare us to Silla Baekje? Baekje is better, but Silla is weak, how can it be our opponent? ”

Ikyu smiled and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Ribei, look, you also know that the Wa Kingdom can only be compared with countries like Silla and Baekje. He pointed to the fleet on the sea and said to the Libei: "If nothing else, look at this fleet, whether it is the Wa Kingdom or Baekje, which country is its opponent?" ”

Li Bingwei was silent, although he didn't understand naval warfare, but he could see that a Chang'an was enough to wipe out the naval army of the Japanese State, if it could be called a naval army.

"We don't even have the qualifications to be the enemies of the Tang Dynasty."

Every word of Ikyu pierced the heart of the guard. It's not that he doesn't know, but he hasn't dared to face it.

"Tomorrow, we will set off for the north, and the meaning of the teacher is to find a vein on the island of Honshu."

"Vein?" Li Bingwei's footprints are all over the Wa Kingdom, but he doesn't know where there are ore veins in the Wa Kingdom. The country has always been a resource-poor place, and even if there is, no matter how willing Su I Ezo is, most of them will fight.

Ikyu laughed; "Su I Ezo is also rampant and domineering in our country, in the face of my teacher, he is not enough to see this way, if he is smarter, it is better to hide and not come out, if he comes out, the teacher will clean him up by the way." Li Bingwei finally found out where the strange place was in Yixiu, he had an almost blind admiration for Li Mu, and he didn't care about this matter at all, whether it would work or not.

Ribei decided not to persuade anymore, he knew that it was useless to persuade him. Let's stay with Ikyu first, see how things will play out, and wait for the opportunity.

"Life is too short, so short that even if you spend your whole life, I am afraid that you will not be able to see the whole picture of the whole world, so you have to race against time. Fame and fortune are all fleeting, and the most important thing is to really leave something for future generations. ”

Li Bingwei was confused when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Yixiu, what do you want to leave for future generations?" ”

Ikyu smiled, pointed to his head, and said, "Science, you don't understand it." I have already told my teacher that when he leaves tomorrow, he will take all the people from the island with him, but when he gets to the next supply point, he will have to disembark. ”

Sharp Guard said gratefully: "This is already good, it is already good to be able to go ashore." ”

Although they went ashore, everyone was likely to die. But at least it's better than being trapped on the island and starving, okay? Besides, this is the fleet of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no obligation to save them at all.

……

Li Mu asked the stonemason overnight to prepare the slate, and buried the carved slate in a secret place. When this was done, all that was left was the supply of fresh water.

In fact, there is nothing to do without supplies, and the fresh water reserved by the fleet is enough for what is needed. Just in case, it is better to prepare more, and it is also convenient for the empty ship to not have enough gravity at sea to withstand the waves.

Li Mu couldn't afford to delay, he had more important things to do. The guard was silent, but his snort was already heavy. He was a patriot and a die-hard loyal to the Japanese state. How can he get used to listening to Ikyu, the future heir, and arranging his homeland? If it weren't for the loyalty to his father and son, it would have exploded a long time ago.
