Chapter 574: A Respite and a New World

Regaining freedom is more precious than resurrecting from the dead, this is what Li Mi really thinks at this moment.

It's no wonder that he was able to see the dock outside from the window, because this was a transit island, Sima Hui had obviously found out a long time ago, so he didn't let the prisoners out.

There were many islands in the Wakoku country, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi became Sekihaku, and after the unification of Japan, it hurt the interests of the big lords, who lost their land, and could only continue to occupy the islands to supplement their strength.

Therefore, the desert islands around the main island have become fragrant and sweet, and the samurai have poured out of their nests and constantly invaded these desert islands.

Of course, there are also many islands that are not desert islands, and there are aborigines on them, but they will not end well, either slaughtered by the samurai, or they can only become slaves.

Manpower is the greatest resource and the primary productive force, so only those who are unwilling to give in will be slaughtered, and most of them will eventually become slaves.

This transit island was a subsidiary of the Satsuma Domain, not conquered later, and had been developed for many years, and merchant ships liked to rest here, and when the port on the Satsuma Domain's side was busy, it would also drop off their goods here.

Of course, there are not many shady transactions, and it is impossible to trade on the Satsuma Domain, and they will choose to complete the transaction on this transit island, so this has become a paradise for islands and black merchants, where everything can be clearly priced, and slaves are not as valuable as livestock!

At this time, everyone's condition is very bad, if you break out of the black prison and enter such an environment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go too far.

After all the slaves in the black prison were killed, Sima Hui asked everyone to occupy the black prison and take out the materials from the treasury to recuperate and recover their bodies.

There are a lot of good things in the black prison storehouse, and all the masters in this black prison have their own abilities, and in less than three or five days, they will be able to have the power of a battle!

Of course, Sima Hui is also worried that the black prison has an early warning mechanism that he has no way of knowing, such as whether it will regularly report news and the like, and now that all the Japanese slaves are dead, will it trigger the early warning and attract danger.

But so far, it seems that the situation is not bad, and no one has come to disturb their rest.

The people here are all people who use knives against the judge's heart to beg for a few more years, and Sima Hui and the tall and thin man are the ones who handed them the knives, in order to survive, as long as they still have the strength to breathe, they will not give up.

They stripped all the Japanese slaves, changed them into their clothes, and threw them into the black prison, where they lived in a black prison for five or six days.

Li Mi finally waited for the opportunity, pointed to the tall and thin man, and asked Sima Hui, "Can you introduce it now?" ”

As if hearing Li Mi's words, the man also came over, and at this time everyone shaved off their beards, of course, everyone could not accept the Mediterranean hair of the Japanese slaves, but cut the hair short, and then wrapped it in a scarf.

This person is also in his early forties, very thin, what impressed Li Mi the most was his eyes, I don't know if he stayed in the black prison for a long time, or if he was born like this, his pupils turned out to be yellow, and under the refraction of the sun, they were like topaz cat's eyes!

In fact, the pupils of ordinary people will turn yellow, even if they are yellow people with black eyes, the eyes of babies are the blackest and brightest, but as they get older, the color of their pupils will become more and more yellow.

But this person's pupils are not the kind of regressive yellow, but bright and pure!

"The old man is a person from the Taiping Dao, if you ask carefully, you will lose your life." This man spoke in a deep and deep voice, as if he could lull a child to sleep by reciting a proper Analect.

Li Mi was also speechless, so he could only reply to him-for-tat: "You murder me and I have an egg, how many people do Lao Tzu of Taiping Dao know?" All the people I know are dead in my hands......"

The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and the yellow cat's eyes seemed to shoot a deadly light, just staring at Li Mi.

Sima Hui walked to the middle and said to the two: "Okay, stop it, you haven't got out of the crisis yet, why bother talking fast." ”

Li Mi is not a troublemaker, but he faked his death in exchange for a chance to escape, but among the more than thirty prisoners, no one thought of him, and everyone only recognized the person who opened the prison door for them.

"He is Zuo Ci, who was originally an elder of my Tianji Society, who sneaked into Taiping Road as a meticulous work, and let Zhang Jiao see through it, before he was imprisoned, and he has been in this black prison for ten years......"

"Zuo Ci? That Zuo Ci? ”

"Well, that's ...... Zuo Ci"

Li Mi looked at the cat-eyed man, then at Sima Hui, and then said to them seriously.

"You must already know that there is only one Shu camp left in the Qunying Society at the moment, and Zhou Yu has already begun to call himself his real name and surname, so why are you playing with this set of things?"

Sima Hui also smiled bitterly, and explained to Li Mi: "This set of regulations is the foundation of my Heroes Association, if it is changed, the Heroes Association will completely die, many people actually know what is going on later, especially after the age of thirty or forty, they will understand, but this awakening will not only not let them leave the Heroes Association, but will make them more loyal, you are not cultivated by the Heroes Association since childhood, you will not understand this feeling." ”

Sima Hui and Li Mi are friends in distress, and when it comes to this point, it can be regarded as a heart-to-heart.

"The old man's real name is Zhao Sima, he learned art at the age of three, and instilled hundreds of schools, Mr. Shuijing and Zuo Ci Yuji and other immortal figures, you don't know how much manpower and material resources are invested."

"Zuo Ci, this old boy's real name is Zuo Di, I was in my twenties, I have entered the house, walking the rivers and lakes, he was called in, after all, illusion is too difficult, so he brought art into the door, better than all of us know this set of rules, but he still insists on this identity, you can ask him why he did this."

Li Mi looked at Zuo Ci, and then sneered: "If it was ten years earlier, I would naturally ask him, but now that he has been in a black prison for ten years, whether he is Zuo Di or Zuo Ci, what is the answer, and what is the meaning?" ”

Li Mi raised his arms, touched the horizontal carvings on his arms, and said to himself: "I only defended it for three years before I understood this truth, how could he not understand?" ”

Sima Hui looked at Li Mi with a little surprise, but at this time Zuo Di muttered to himself: "...... alive"

Sima Hui was also silent, yes, except for life, everything is empty, but Li Mi added a sentence later.

"That's right, live, but not reluctantly, if you don't have faith in your heart, you can't live at all, and even if you survive, it's no different from a beast."

Zuo Di was also a little surprised, looked at Li Mi and asked: "You are neither from the Heroes Association, nor from the Taiping Dao, there is an eagle dog in the officialdom, do you know what faith is?" And what do you believe? ”

Li Mi smiled and didn't speak, he was a unique existence in this era, and in the more than three years of black prison, he couldn't have thought more clearly.

It's just that faith is something that never comes to the lips, but to the heart.

Seeing that Li Mi didn't answer, Zuo Di didn't mention it anymore, but he was more vigilant about Li Mi.

At night, the prisoners took out a few corpses and reported to Zhao Sima and Zuo Di: "These people want to attack them. ”

Zuo Di frowned a little: "You should stay alive." ”

The prisoner at the head replied to Zuo Di: "The leader wants to stay alive, but he just wants to hear the news, don't worry, I will wait for the torture to be clear before killing the person." ”

"This is the Guhe Island in the southeast sea of the Satsuma Domain, also called Gua He Island, it was originally the nest of the Wako Shingen Mitsui Division, and later the retainer of the Shimazu family, Xu Yihou, admonished and suppressed this place, and it became a transshipment port, and the island is full of people on the underworld, most of them are Wako, and the past merchant ships are unsightly."

"Later, the Shimazu family also lost control, and it became a completely extralegal place, and the major Japanese leaders fought often in order to fight for the sovereignty of the island, after all, there were too many ships passing here, and trade was frequent, just to collect taxes, which was a flowing income, not to mention that there were other livelihoods on the island, wine, food, women, clothes, weapons and equipment, supplies at sea, etc., which were simply treasures everywhere."

When the prisoner at the head said this, his emotions did not fluctuate, and it seemed that he had been locked up in the black prison for a long time, and he had already looked down on these, so it was no wonder that he was so meticulous.

"Right now, it's the people of Taiping Dao who control this island?" Zhao Sima is to the point, the environmental background is secondary, and it is serious to figure out the main enemy.

"Exactly, Zhang Jiao controls the Shenlu Palace and the Ise Jingu, and is now preparing military funds for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, using all the things of the red-haired ghosts, some people have cannons, they are all new things, and I don't know how much money I have accumulated in the past three years, and I am estimated that I am about to send troops......"

"Send troops to North Korea?"

"No, I heard that this time the Ming Kingdom will be sent directly to ...... country."

Zhao Sima shook his head: "Even if there is Taiping Dao to help, looking for red-haired ghosts to buy people and cannons, they don't dare to directly attack the Ming Kingdom." ”

The prisoner also nodded: "I don't believe it either, it's just that these Japanese slaves are very clear-sighted, saying that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is seriously ill all the year round and can't be governed, and the Fu King is powerful, competing with the prince, the court is divided into two factions, fighting for the head and blood, now is the best time!" ”

When Li Mi heard this, he was also embarrassed, things have come to this point, three years is enough for a young man to grow up, not to mention that there are so many powerful ministers to assist, Zhu Changluo is growing, but Zhu Changxun is the same!

At the moment, they should all be fifteen or sixteen years old, this age is the most rebellious, and the most fierce, no wonder they have to fight.

Zhu Yijun was already suffering from foot disease, and after so many serious illnesses and accidents, it was reasonable that his physical condition had deteriorated, if he could have left Li Mi in the capital and let Suo Changsheng treat him, he was afraid that he would not have come to this point.

It's useless to say more about this, Li Mi knows very well that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a person, if these Japanese Japanese slaves are allowed to find the right time, it will inevitably bring disaster to the people of the Ming Dynasty!

"Where are they going to transport the military supplies?" Li Mi asked the prisoner, but the man shook his head.

"These black prison guards are just slaves of Taiping Dao, and all they can know are well-known things, not secrets, and they can't know where the military funds will go."

When Zhao Sima heard this, he inevitably asked Li Mi: "The Ming court treats you like this, you have no resentment?" ”

Zhu Yijun asked Li Mi to hunt down Zhou Yu, he really wanted to get rid of Li Mi, he didn't want Li Mi to control the government, and he still wanted to give Zhu Changxun a chance, which he never concealed from Li Mi.

"It is not the court that has left me today, but Wang Zuo, even if the court abandons me, I believe that in the past three years, my brothers have never stopped looking for me......"

Li Mi was very calm and objective, and then asked Zhao Sima, "Where do you think the military funds will go?" ”

Zhao Sima thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know, but someone will definitely know." ”

"Zhang Liang!"
