Chapter Fifty-Seven: The First Evil Ambushes

Sakagami Ryujiro felt Qu Ping's anger, and hurriedly said: "The general's wife must have the grace of the country, and King Chongde's people should be ready to set off for the return voyage at this moment, and we can go directly to the dock to intercept them." ”

Li Shen said: "General, if they want to set sail, they must wait until the tide rises tomorrow morning, and they can only go to sea from the Qiantang River with the help of the rising tide. We still have time, and the lower officials will immediately gather people and go to the past. ”

Qu Ping said: "Without further ado, Ben will go first. Lord Li gathered his men and horses to come quickly. Sakagami-kun, please lead the way! ”

"Hey!" Ryujiro Sakagami spoke Japanese to his subordinates, and with the four of his men, he said, "General, let's go!" ”

"That's all there is to you?" Qu Ping looked at his four short and capable subordinates and said.

Ryujiro Sakagami replied, "There are still fifty inns in the city. ”

Qu Ping took Wu Zhishen and twenty servants, Sakagami Ryujiro took his three retinues, and another went to the inn to call people, and a group of people hurried to the dock.

"Do you know where they are staying?" Qu Ping asked.

"Rest assured, generals, they have their own unique markings, which can be found by the contemptible people."

"How many of them are there?"

"Thirty or fifty."

Thirty or fifty people have gathered another large army, and there are twenty-four people here now.

Ryujiro Sakagami added, "They are all ronins and ninjas with high martial arts, and they are very difficult to deal with. ”

"Even if it's hard bones, General Ben will bite them to pieces and swallow them!" Qu Ping said.

RyΕ«jiro Sakagami felt Qu Ping's thick anger, stopped talking, quickened his pace, and carefully searched for the traces left by the Chongde people all the way, not letting go of the clues. In addition, marks were left along the way, so that Li Shen could bring people to help.

Outside the city, Ryujiro Sakagami lay on a piece of sand, carefully identified the shoe prints left behind, and said, "Yes, the contemptible people already know their direction." ”

Qu Ping didn't know how he saw it, and the top priority was to follow him and find Xiao Lu quickly.

In front of a small forest, Ryujiro Sakagami raised his hand to stop the group and whispered, "Just ahead, everyone quietly advances." ”

Qu Ping looked back at the officials behind him, they were so nervous that they clenched their knives and guns, and they didn't dare to come out. Qu Ping said to them: "The gangsters are strong in martial arts, and when they start fighting, you must hold on tightly, and don't fight separately and break them one by one." ”

Everyone slowly approached and saw a separate house, the room was lit up, it was estimated that it was forcibly occupied by Chongde, a bonfire was lit in front of the house, and more than a dozen people sang and danced around the fire.

Qu Ping instructed: "I will quietly go around to the private house with the master, and you will kill it depending on the situation." ”

Ryujiro Sakagami nodded knowingly and said, "Don't worry, I will command." ”

Qu Ping and Wu Zhishen went around to the back of the house and found that there were four ronins guarding the back of the house. The two quietly solved the sentry, Wu Zhishen stayed behind the house, Qu Ping gently opened the window, turned in, and saw Xiao Lu tied up and shrunk in the corner at a glance, and there were four other women who were arrested.

When the two warriors guarding the room saw Qu Ping enter through the window, they shouted "Baga", drew their swords and killed them.

Qu Ping expected that the people outside must have known about the movements inside the house, and they had to make a quick decision. He turned his back to Xiao Lu to protect her, and while drawing his sword to kill the person who came, he shouted: "Master, come in and fight quickly!" ”

Wu Zhishen took the knife of the dead Japanese on the ground, flew in, and joined the battle group.

Both of them are experienced masters, and they can deal with a few ronins easily, and before the outsiders can come in, they kill the two guards in a few rounds. Wu Zhishen pressed the table against the door, Qu Ping quickly cut the rope on Xiao Lu's body, pulled out the strip of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and Xiao Lu threw herself into Qu Ping's arms and cried.

Wu Zhishen hurriedly said: "General, hurry up, they are about to attack." ”

Outside, there was a lot of noise, and the Japanese people of Chongde banged the doors and windows. It is estimated that Ryujiro Sakagami also saw the opportunity to attack.

Qu Ping helped Xiao Lu up, went to save the other four girls, walked to the back of the room and slashed the window away, jumped out, and reached out to pick Xiao Lu and the four girls out. Qu Ping said to Xiao Lu: "You take them aside to hide first, and I will kill them all to vent your anger for you!" ”

Xiao Lu, as Mrs. Fuguo, should be responsible, she said: "Well, you have to be careful! ”

Wu Zhishen knocked over the oil lamp in the room and let the fire burn, then jumped out of the window, saw that Qu Ping was the only one outside, knew that the five victim women had already hidden, and asked, "General, are you leaving?" ”

Qu Ping shook the knife in his hand and said, "Kill!" ”

At this time, there happened to be a Japanese person who went around to the back of the house, and the two of them swung their knives to kill the Japanese people, and their hands rose and fell, and they were merciless. The Japanese who attacked the door head-on finally broke open the gate, but when they saw a sea of fire, they hurriedly retreated. Sakagami Ryujiro commanded more than 20 people to kill him, and after a while, Li Shen, who came over quickly, also joined the battle group with 500 soldiers. Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Japanese fought and retreated. The officers and soldiers fired a burst of bows and arrows, and left behind a number of big hedgehogs.

The two Japanese people took the lead in running wildly, and Sakagami Ryujiro shouted: "General, don't let them run, King Chongde's son Chongde Shunichi is there, and the higher one is him!" ”

Qu Ping took a look, what a tall man Chongde Junyi, but only one meter six and five, actually came to my Da Song to commit a crime, and you will not be spared.

Qu Ping and Wu Zhishen chased wildly, and Sakagami Ryujiro was not weak in kung fu, and he also chased hard.

Chongde Shunyi's only subordinate sacrificed himself to protect his master, and rushed behind him. Qu Ping raised the knife and threw it hard, and the Pu knife flew over his neck, and blood gushed out from the arteries. The man tried hard to hold on to the wound, but after a few futile moments, he threw himself to the ground. Qu Ping grabbed the knife and continued to chase forward.

The general of the auxiliary country took his wife out for his honeymoon, you little Japan doesn't know what to do, so you can only ask you to go and have no return.

As soon as Chongdejun saw that the people behind him were chasing closely, he ran by the Qiantang River, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the surging river. Qu Ping did not hesitate and jumped into the river. Wu Zhishen shouted "general" in the back, and before the word "army" could be spoken, Qu Ping had disappeared into the water, and Chongde Jun did not come out. Wu Zhi is not good in deep water, and he is so anxious to jump on the shore.

Ryujiro Sakagami chased after him and asked someone. Wu Zhishen said that the general chased the villain and jumped into the river, but unfortunately the poor monk did not know how to be water-based.

"Master, don't worry, the general is very courageous, and he must have a full grasp of his own water nature." Ryujiro Sakagami said.

Li Shen eliminated all the enemies, and came over with the troops and Xiao Lu and a few women, and learned that Qu Ping was chasing Chongdejun and jumped into the river, Xiao Lu lay on the bank and cried.

Li Shen said: "Madam, the general is auspicious, wise and brave, and he will definitely come back safely!" ”

Xiao Lu was still sobbing, she didn't know how Qu Ping's water nature was, in case he couldn't do it in water, he jumped into the river on impulse, and the Japanese people came across the sea, and the water nature must be good, how is this good. The four young girls knew that the wife of this life-saving benefactor was also anxious for her, helped Xiao Lu to sit down, and comforted her with kind words.

Li Shen sent people downstream to look for people, and asked how the four women were the daughters of that family and how they were captured by the Japanese people. The four of them told the truth, and Li Shen sent someone to call their respective families to pick them up.

After a stick of incense, the soldiers who went downstream to look for them came back to report that the general had caught the gangsters and returned.

When Xiao Lu heard this, she ran away with her skirt, her eyes were blinded by tears, and there was only one belief in her heart, Qu Ping would be fine as long as she was fine.

Seeing Xiao Lu crying and running, Qu Ping laughed, threw Chongde Junyi, who had drunk a full stomach of Qiantang River water, to the ground, caught Xiao Lu's hug, patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all my fault, I didn't protect you well." ”

Xiao Lu couldn't cry, and her small fist hammered Qu Ping's firm chest.

Everyone came over, and Li Shen said: "It's okay if the general is fine, the general is the pillar of the country, and the subordinate official is a parent official, and the control is not strict, and the crime deserves death." The lower officials will ask the emperor for guilt. ”

Qu Ping helped Xiao Lu away and said: "The thieves are treacherous, and you can't be blamed entirely, but in the future, we must strengthen the control of the coastal coast, and don't let some small fish and shrimp come in at will, spoiling a pond of good water." I will suggest to the emperor that customs should be set up at all ports, and that entry and exit should be checked and registered. ”

"Yes." Li Shen said.

Ryujiro Sakagami said, "Your Excellency, on behalf of the King of Japan, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you, and this kind of thing will definitely not happen in the future." The Heavenly King knew about this, and he would definitely punish the Chongde family heavily. "The Japanese have called themselves emperors in various places in the country, and when they reach the Celestial Empire, they are all changed to kings, which has shown respect.

Qu Ping said: "That's the best. You've already made it clear what happened, and Ben won't bother with it anymore. Lord Li, tomorrow at noon, at the entrance of the vegetable market, I will personally supervise this! ”

The next day, the officials beat gongs and drums throughout the city, attracting hundreds of people to gather at the entrance of the vegetable market. Li Shen stated the charges against the Chongde family, a small insidious force in Japan, and dozens of charges against sabotaging Sino-Japanese friendship, kidnapping official families, and snatching people's daughters. The four ladies also appeared to say, greatly restoring the truth of the case. The onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, bought tomatoes, eggs, cabbage, etc. from their homes and vegetable markets, and threw them on Chongdejun's head on the stage. Chongde Jun was talking in Japanese, and the people couldn't understand it, thinking that he was scolding back, and even threw things at him, and paid tribute to him for all kinds of national scoldings.

When the hour came, Qu Ping looked at the sky and said, "Motherland, your dignity cannot be desecrated!" The hour has come, let's go! ”

The executioner squirted a mouthful of liquor on the cleaver of the hundred people and slashed it down......

The blood and the sun ignited the blood of the people in winter.
