"Who?"

When Youlan was running forward panting with the sick child on her back, a stiff cheer suddenly came from the front, and a group of ronins in Japanese clothes blocked their way.

It turned out that Yulan led everyone all the way, and unconsciously entered the territory of Onizuka Musashi, and in front of him was the mansion of Onizuka Musashi.

The residence of Onitsuka Musashi is different from that of Liu Dahai and Shi Hu and others, who are both houses with several entrances and exits, while Onitsuka Musashi's residence is more like a bunker, a blockhouse made of rocks, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the Wa Kingdom, these bunkers were basically the residences of daimyo from all over the world, and one of them was called "Castle Tower".

In fact, the castle tower was the centerpiece of the castle, not only as a strong military defense, but also as a symbol of the political power and status of the local daimyo or lord of the castle.

According to historical records, the name of the castle tower first appeared in the early 16th century, and the Warring States period was the most prosperous period for the castle tower exhibition.

There are many theories as to why it is called "castle tower", but some people believe that it symbolizes the meaning of "Brahma" in Christianity and Buddhism, which means that the lord of the castle or daimyo rules on behalf of the heavens.

The origin of the castle tower naturally went through a long exhibition process, and the combination of an observation tower, a material storage room, and a military defense showed the strength of the castle lord.

Onizuka Musashi put a lot of effort into this castle tower in Chicken Coop Port, and the castle tower is two stories and there are three observation decks on top of it, making a total of five floors.

Among them, the edge of the top floor of the castle tower is received into the outer wall, the outer wall is painted with white stucco, and the windows are turned into sliding doors, which is particularly eye-catching among the Chinese buildings in Jilonggang.

It is worth mentioning that the castle tower is the most famous because it is made of thousands of pounds of large rocks, which is very majestic and difficult to break through in the era of cold weapons.

When Onizuka Musashi built the castle tower, he first transported the granite of the Wa Kingdom to the Chicken Coop Port by boat, and then went to six places to transport it using Shura carts and log rolling, which was a huge amount of work.

In order to make the castle tower beautiful, craftsmen first had to grind the stone with an awl and then lay it out, which was very time-consuming, and it took three years to complete the castle tower.

In order to defend against human attacks, the castle tower was usually equipped with arrow windows, gun windows, and moats, and the walls at the corners of the buildings protruded, and the stones fell from them when the covers were placed, and the shots were taken.

The underground cellar was equipped with weapons, rice, salt, etc., wells, and corridors and double doors for samurai to run around each floor.

"We are private school people, and now that the situation in Chicken Coop Port is chaotic, I want to ask Mr. Musashi to take these children in, they are innocent."

Youlan glanced at the castle tower, handed over the child on her back to Liu Bihua on the side, and said to the leading ronin with an anxious expression: "Please pass on Mr. Musashi, Liu Dahai's righteous daughter to come and pay a visit, and implore Mr. Musashi to help the children." ”

"Wait a minute!"

The leading ronin looked a little stupid for a while after seeing Youlan's face, he had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and when he heard Youlan's words, he immediately understood that the young woman in front of him was the true face of the first beauty in Xiaoliuqiu, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly turned back to report.

Youlan stretched out her sleeve to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, the sprint just now had made her sweat drip, she had never been so tired as she was now.

"Xin'er, will Onizuka Musashi take in the children?" Li Bihua stepped forward and asked softly, looking extremely anxious, if Onizuka Musashi refused, then the children would have to move to the mountain behind, God knows what terrible things would happen halfway.

"It's an opportunity, and we have to fight for it."

Yuran didn't know if Onizuka Musashi would let the children of the private school take refuge, so she glanced at the children who were gathered around her and looked a little frightened, and said with a resolute expression.

Li Bihua's face couldn't help but flash a look of helplessness, looking at the chicken coop port, I am afraid that only Onizuka Musashi is the safest here now, even if Wang Ren wants to be unfavorable to Onizuka Musashi, he will not be able to capture this solid castle tower.

Compared with those children, Youlan was now more worried about Li Hongyu, who was covering behind the palace, so she looked at the direction she came from with a worried face, and secretly prayed for Li Hongyu.

"Look, sir, they're coming?" It didn't take long for a few figures to appear on the street in the distance, rushing towards this side, Li Bihua stretched out his hand and said to Youlan in surprise.

Youlan also saw those figures, and her expression suddenly became nervous, but because the sky was dark and the distance was too far, she couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, and she didn't know if Li Hongyu was inside.

Finally, Youlan saw the appearance of the figures who were getting closer and closer, and the leading one was Li Hongyu, and she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Hongyu was safe and sound.

"Onizuka Musashi, will you let us in?" Li Hongyu saw that Youlan and the others were blocked on the street outside the castle tower, Li Hongyu's heart couldn't help but sink, and he asked eagerly before and after coming to Youlan.

"There's no news from there yet." Youlan shook her head, and then looked at Li Hongyu with concern, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, comforted Youlan softly, and then turned to look in the direction of the road from which he came, the pursuers had already appeared on the street at this time, and they were getting closer and closer to here.

Seeing those pursuers appear, a stout ronin waved his hand, and the ronins gathered around swarmed to meet him, blocking the path of those pursuers.

"We are the people of Clear Water Port, those people are the enemies we want to capture, we will leave as soon as we give them to us."

The big man who was the leader of the chasing soldiers knew that this was the realm of Onizuka Musashi, and he didn't want to conflict with it, so he bowed his hand to those ronins, and then pointed at Li Hongyu and the others and said loudly.

"These people can't give it to you until Musashi-sama has nothing to say." The stout ronin who was in charge of the command before stepped forward when he heard this, and said to the leading man with an expressionless face.

"That's a bit out of order!" Hearing this, the leading big man frowned suddenly, and said to the stout ronin with a sneer, "Does Mr. Musashi want to intervene in this incident?" ”

"This is your rule, not ours, and no one will want to take anyone away without Musashi-sama's willingness!" The stout ronin was not afraid of the threat of the leading man, and said with a somewhat indifferent expression, his attitude was extremely tough.

"Big brother, we are here to arrest people, it is not appropriate to fall out with them, in this case, it will help Haiye's people." At this time, a big man came to the side of the leader and reminded him softly, for fear that the leader and the stout ronin would fight if they didn't agree with each other.

"Humph!"

When the leading man heard this, he felt reasonable, so he sneered and said to the stout ronin, "You tell Mr. Musashi that except for Liu Dahai's righteous daughter, everyone else can give it to him!" ”

Hearing this, the stout ronin couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Youlan standing beside Li Hongyu, it turned out that these pursuers were here for the first beauty in Xiaoliuqiu.

Youlan also heard the words of the leading man, and her face suddenly changed slightly, she didn't expect the other party to arrest her by name.

"Sir, since their target is me, then I will lure them away first, and you can take the opportunity to settle the children."

After biting her lip, Youlan said to Li Hongyu with a resolute expression, if she could exchange her for Li Hongyu and those children, she was willing to do so.

In Youlan's view, Li Hongyu's life is much more important than her and her children, so there must be no accident, otherwise not only will the Ming Dynasty lose a mainstay of the important minister, but it will also bring ruin to Xiaoliuqiu Jilong Port, and the imperial court will definitely exterminate all forces in Jilong Port, and even the common people will suffer.

"We're here together, we're going to go together, we're going to stay together!" Li Hongyu naturally knew Youlan's thoughts, so he looked at her solemnly and said, "I will never let them take you away!" ”

Youlan's heart suddenly warmed when she heard this, Li Hongyu's words moved her quite a lot, she knew that Li Hongyu would not let her go, so she nodded vigorously, and her eyes were red.

"Musashi-sama has an order, children can stay, but adults must leave!" At this time, the ronin who had gone to report before came over, glanced at Youlan with some regret, and then said in a loud voice.

With a bang, the subordinates and children in the private school suddenly became chaotic, and no one thought that everyone would be separated, because the people who worked in the private school were the parents of the children who went to school in it, so some of the children couldn't help crying when they heard that they couldn't be with their parents.

Li Hongyu's face became extremely serious, it seems that Onizuka Musashi is unwilling to get involved in tonight's incident, so he only takes in children and not adults.

The leading big man had a smug look on his face, he had already guessed that Onizuka Musashi would choose neutrality, which was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

"Quick, let the kids in!" Although he was disappointed, Li Hongyu knew that this was the only chance for those schoolchildren to live, so he didn't care about it much, and ordered the adults in the private school on the spot.

Hearing this, the adults pushed the children around them in the direction of the castle tower, trying to let them enter the castle tower.

But how can the children be willing to let go of the adults who get along with each other day and night, so the scene was full of crying for a while, and many children hugged the legs of the adults or dragged the hands of the adults, crying and unwilling to enter the castle tower just like that.

"One day as a teacher and a father for life, you don't listen to the words of the teacher as disrespectful and unfilial, is this what I teach you on weekdays?"

Li Hongyu saw that the situation in front of him had become chaotic, so he sank his face and shouted at the crying children.

"Sir, we don't want to leave, we want to be with you." A schoolboy couldn't help crying when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu.

"If possible, of course we would like to join you, but now that the situation is critical, everyone has finally sent you here, but you have to live up to our painstaking efforts, it is really chilling!"

When Li Hongyu heard this, a warm current suddenly appeared in his heart, and then he said to the schoolchild with a straight face, "Besides, if we bring you with us, we will be unable to move, how can we escape?" ”

"Sir......" the schoolboy cried and tried to defend something.

"Listen up, now line up!" Li Hongyu knew that he was reluctant to leave, but this was a last resort, so he interrupted the schoolchild's words in a deep voice and shouted loudly.

Li Hongyu has a very high reputation in the private school, and when Li Hongyu spoke, the children at the scene cried and stood in line.

"Now go into the city at once, and if you don't listen to your husband, then you will be expelled from the private school." Li Hongyu then stretched out his hand and pointed to the entrance of the castle tower and said in a loud voice.

When the children heard this, they immediately cried even more sadly, and cried to the castle tower amid the hot urging on the side, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed quite dull and depressing.

Youlan and Liu Bihua's eyes were red, and the two of them could see that these children had a deep relationship with Li Hongyu, and it seemed that Li Hongyu didn't hurt them in vain on weekdays.

"Disciple rules, sage training: filial piety, the second sincere faith, pan love for all, and kindness, if you have spare strength, you will learn the ......"

After walking a few steps, the schoolboy who answered Li Hongyu wiped his tears and recited aloud the "Disciple Rules" taught by Li Hongyu in a childish voice, which was very popular with the children.

"Parents call, should not delay, parents order, do not be lazy, parents teach, must listen, parents responsible, must obey ......"

The rest of the children also wiped away their tears when they heard this, and recited in unison as they walked, and an invisible momentum arose.

This made the scene silent, both those ronins and pursuers were stunned by the scene in front of them, who would have thought that such a young child would be so sensible.

Youlan and Liu Bihua are women after all, and they are at the age of sentimentality, they couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands and shed tears when they saw this, they knew that the children were bidding farewell to Li Hongyu and the adults in the private school in this way.

Li Hongyu felt a burst of relief in his heart, it seemed that his previous efforts were not in vain, and the children had very deep feelings for him.

When they walked to the entrance of the castle tower, the children in the march couldn't help but listen, and then turned around in unison, kneeling down to Li Hongyu and others while reciting the "Disciple Rules" and bowing goodbye to their masters.

"Big brother, I heard that the children in this private school are free of charge, originally I thought it was just for show, but now it seems that those children are doing well inside."

At this time, a chasing soldier came to the side of the leading man, looked at the children who knelt down and saluted, and said with envy, "If I could have met such a good gentleman back then, then I would not have fallen to this!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the pursuers who followed the leader showed gloomy expressions, if it weren't for the poor family, how could they become pirates, if they could read and write like the children in the private school, their fate would undoubtedly be changed.

"For the sake of a gentleman who is dedicated to teaching, wait for us to only catch the people who the boss wants, and let the rest go, which can be regarded as our good deeds for future generations!"

The leading man was also from a poor family, and he didn't know a single big character, although he had become ruthless now, he was still touched by the words of the chasing soldier.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have a lot of good feelings towards Li Hongyu, he thought about it and said that if he killed someone like Li Hongyu, his only conscience would be disturbed, and he would also be blamed and spurned by the world.

Of course, the leading man didn't know that Li Hongyu, who seemed to him to be weak, was the mysterious archer who shot many of them with a bow and arrow, otherwise he would definitely be surprised.

At the same time, no one noticed that there was a figure standing in front of the window on the third floor of the castle tower, looking at the scene in front of them with great interest, not expecting such a change in the situation.
