"Brother Shi Lang, it should be them." When the greeting team turned a corner and walked away, the woman who recited auspicious words called Hanako said to the tall man named Hanako next to her.

Yes, this woman named Hanako is dressed up by Ye Ruliu.

According to Luo Shiyin's arrangement, Ye Ruliu, Shi Lang, Xie Yuan and a brocade guard used the disguise technique to disguise themselves and pretend to be Huazi to wait here, and once a suspicious person passed by from here, they immediately stepped forward to test it. The task of the four of them is to determine if the suspicious person is the Japanese ninja who is transporting the treasure.

"You can't be wrong, you look at those two ox carts, they don't look like they are filled with silk and satin at all. The two cows were dying of exhaustion. Shi Lang agreed with Ye Ruliu's judgment.

"Although they also used disguise techniques, I can already see that the woman holding the red satin is Mieko Kato, and the other is supposed to be her sister Michiko Kato. The man in the sedan chair was probably the ninja leader we had seen in the black pine forest outside Yi Sunsin's barracks. Ye Ruliu said in a firm tone.

"The elder in front should be Governor Konishi." Xie Yuan next to him said.

"Don't hesitate to send a signal so that the commander can prepare them early." Shi Lang said to Ye Ruliu.

"Okay." Ye Ruliu responded, and then used an exaggerated movement to make a "V" shape with his hands in the air.

On a high slope in the south of the valley in the distance, Bau was holding clairvoyance in his hand, and together with Jumping, he was lying behind a rock, looking this way, and seeing Ye Ruliu signaling, he immediately ran from behind the rock to the Imjin River with Jumping, and went to report to Luo Shiyin.

"Brother, you painted my sister a little ugly this time." After sending the signal, Ye Ruliu touched his face and said to Xie Yuan.

"Sister, with your outstanding demeanor, if you don't paint ugly, it's easy to be discovered." Xie Yuan put on a helpless look.

"If my sister can't get married, be careful that I settle accounts with you." Ye Ruliu made an expression of asking Xie Yuan for his guilt.

"How can you! You don't have to marry this one. Xie Yuan pointed at Shi Lang and said to Ye Ruliu.

"Okay, you two don't make trouble, let's hurry to the riverside and join the commander." Shi Lang urged.

"Okay." Another brocade guard answered the promise, and together with Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Xie Yuan, they rushed to the Imjin River ferry.

The mountains on the outskirts of Kaesong are rich in all kinds of mushrooms and game, and the local mountain people like to take their mountain goods to Wangjing City to buy them at a good price. Especially all kinds of leather goods, in this kind of cold days, are still very popular with the dignitaries and nobles in the royal capital.

This Imjin Gangbuk ferry crossing is a necessary place to go from Kaesong to Wangjing. The whole ferry port spreads out into the river in the shape of a triangle, and at the top of the triangle is a small stone pier, which is not large, and can only accommodate two ships at the same time.

To the north of the ferry, near the valley, there are a number of uneven mud houses, which were used as warehouses, inns, wine shops, and restaurants.

The simple liquor shops and restaurants are filled with the sound of fists, shouts, and laughter from passing merchants. The air was filled with smoke, alcohol, and an indescribable stench.

In an abandoned warehouse, Luo Shiyin led more than 20 Jinyi Guard warriors, including Fang Handle and Shi Tianji, who were attentively observing every move outside. At this time, they all wore disguised faces, dressed up as mountain people, small merchants and hawkers.

While Luo Shiyin and the others were observing the movement outside, Bau came to the abandoned warehouse.

"My lord, the ninjas of the Wa Kingdom who are carrying treasures have been found in the valley, they are pretending to be a welcoming procession, a sedan chair, two ox carts, and there are about twenty people, and they are rushing to this side." Bau put a disguise mask on his face as he reported to Luo Shiyin.

"When they arrive at the ferry, don't act rashly without my order!" After listening to Bau's report, Luo Shiyin whispered to the surrounding Jinyi guards.

Under the winter sun, on the wide river, boats come and go.

The dock was full of anxiously waiting people, carrying various packages on their shoulders, looking at the river, hoping to board the boat and cross the river sooner.

"Ouch, guest officer, great joy! It seems that this is to the south to marry the bride. Let's sit down at the shop, you see that the ferry has not yet anchored. ”

"Come and sit down in our wine shop, we have stewed pheasant with hazelnut mushrooms just out of the pot, and it tastes fragrant!"

“……”

With a burst of shouting and soliciting customers from the restaurant and the restaurant in front of the restaurant, the welcoming team led by President Konishi finally entered the field of vision of Luo Shiyin, Fang Shan, and other brocade guards. Everyone waited patiently and waited for the moment when Luo Shiyin issued the order to act.

Ignoring the shouting shopkeepers in front of him, Governor Konishi motioned for everyone to stop, and then stood in place, keenly scanning the entire dock.

The people waiting to cross the river on the pier were immediately attracted by this huge welcoming procession and cast curious glances.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Konishi Yuki waved his hand and motioned for the team to move towards the pier.

"My lord, what plan do we take?" Seeing that the welcoming team was already close to the dock, Fang Shank couldn't bear to ask Luo Shiyin.

"Wait and see." Luo Shiyin said calmly.

"Don't let the Japanese people run away, kill—"

As soon as Luo Shiyin's words fell, he saw a group of people rushing out from two dilapidated earthen houses not far away, all of them carrying arrows and holding long knives, shouting and rushing towards the welcoming procession.

Luo Shiyin signaled everyone not to act rashly. He made a rough estimate that the team that rushed out was close to a hundred. Judging by the weapons they used, the team was supposed to be a regular North Korean army.

"Thief, leave our treasure, and then disarm and surrender before you will not die. If you resist, you won't be killed! ”k

The team of nearly 100 people had surrounded Governor Konishi and the others in the middle in an instant, and one of them, who looked like a general, shouted loudly.

The Korean soldiers all bent their bows and arrows, pointing their arrows at the Japanese people who were surrounded in the middle.

Seeing this situation, the people around them were all frightened and hid.

"Yoshino-kun, what should I do?" Faced with the dense array of sharp arrows around him, Konishi Yukichang was a little flustered, and he had to whisper to the people in the sedan chair.

Sitting in the sedan chair was Yoshino, a ninja of the Japanese Kingdom, who was assigned by Ichiro Sugitani, to lead the Michiko Kato sisters and more than 20 ninjas to help Yukicho Konishi transport the treasures.

After listening to Konishi's questioning, Yoshino did not speak, he opened the sedan curtain without hurry and got out of the sedan chair.

"Ahh Yoshino stretched comfortably and blinked his eyes a few times, as if he was a little uncomfortable with the light outside the car.

While stretching his waist, Yoshino raised his hands in the air and made an inconspicuous movement, and the Japanese ninjas at the scene immediately understood and prepared for battle.

"Hurry up and surrender, or you will release the arrows!" The general among the North Korean soldiers was enraged by Yoshino's behavior and shouted a loud reprimand.

"This ...... What's going on? We are good people! We are going to Wang Jing to welcome our relatives. Yoshino looked shocked.

"Don't pretend, we've already got the information that you're ninjas from the Wa Kingdom, and you've come to smuggle our treasure. I say it one last time, disarm and surrender, otherwise, you will be killed by random arrows! The North Korean general raised his right hand and issued an ultimatum.

"Action!"

With Yoshino's order, I saw that Sister Michiko Kato threw the brocade in her hand vigorously at the same time with lightning speed. Two colored brocades drew two graceful arcs in the air, and with two whistling sounds, they swept towards the arrow-wielding North Korean soldiers in all directions.

"Shoot the arrows!" As soon as the North Korean general saw that something was wrong, he immediately gave a loud order.

But before the soldiers could shoot the arrows in their hands, they saw two colorful brocades whistling towards them, sweeping their bows and arrows to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, more than 20 Japanese ninjas at the scene all jumped into the air. Before the North Korean soldiers could react, dozens of ninja shurikens had already flown in.

"Ahh......h

With a scream, dozens of North Korean soldiers fell to the ground and died.

"Rush over and kill them all!" Yoshino commanded in a somber voice.

"Brothers, the Japanese must not be allowed to take their treasures away. Kill! The Korean general raised the long knife in his hand and led his men to rush towards the Ninja.

For a while, there was a sound of killing at the scene, and the two sides scuffled together.

Luo Shiyin, who had been silently watching the battle, was thinking quickly in his heart at this time. In view of the possible situation of this operation, he discussed several sets of plans with the team members and Fang Shan, but no matter which plan, it required more than 20 Daming brocade guards led by him to directly confront the Japanese ninjas who had almost the same number of people.

For the combat effectiveness of the Japanese ninjas, Luo Shiyin is clear. If you really want to face to face, the twenty or so brocade guards he led really don't have a 100% chance of winning. Even if he can win, I am afraid that he will have to pay a heavy price, which he does not want to see.

The appearance of nearly 100 North Korean soldiers in front of him disrupted Jinyiwei's plan, but it provided a rare and excellent opportunity to intercept the treasure at a relatively small cost.

Judging from the strength of both sides, even if the Japanese ninjas on the scene killed all the North Korean soldiers, I am afraid that more than half of them themselves would have been killed or wounded. At that time, it shouldn't take much effort to lead his subordinates to cover up the past and eliminate them.

Luo Shiyin looked intently at the two sides fighting outside the window, and secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Of course, there will be another outcome in the current battle, that is, the Korean soldiers defeat the Japanese ninjas and successfully recapture the treasure that should belong to them. If this is the case, Luo Shiyin will lead his troops to leave quietly.

Although Luo Shiyin very much hoped to get this batch of treasures, he would definitely not make a move if the North Koreans were the first to get their hands on it, because he knew very well in his heart that if he did that, it would affect the good relations between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and he might get into a lot of trouble because of it.

"My lord, should we help our Korean friends?" Fang Shan's question interrupted Luo Shiyin's thoughts.

"Let's wait and see." Although the suggestion of the square handle was an option worth considering, the strong desire for this treasure made Luo Shiyin decide to sit back and watch the snipe and clam fight.

Luo Shiyin was watching the battle situation outside the window, and Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan and other four people rushed over.

"My lord, what's going on outside?" Shi Lang didn't know what was happening outside, so he came to Luo Shiyin's side and asked in a whisper.

"It was the North Korean soldiers who took the lead." Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang.

From the quiet observation of the Jinyi guard at the scene, Shi Lang immediately understood Luo Shiyin's inner thoughts, he didn't ask any more, stood beside Luo Shiyin, and waited for the order.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the battle situation on the dock gradually became clear. Although the North Korean soldiers have an absolute advantage in numbers, their combat effectiveness is really not flattering, plus they are facing specially trained and super combat effectiveness of the Japanese ninjas, and after a few rounds, the scene is already full of the corpses of the North Korean soldiers. If it weren't for the North Korean general's desperate supervision, I'm afraid the remaining North Korean soldiers would have fled.

"Those who run away without permission will be beheaded by the whole family! If you snatch back the treasure, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold per person! The North Korean general held his wounded abdomen with his left hand and brandished a long knife with his right hand, urging his subordinates.

Faced with the temptation of the general's bloody long knives and heavy rewards, the remaining 40 or so North Korean soldiers at the scene regrouped their spirits and killed the Japanese ninjas.
