Part 4 Maritime Silk Road 42, fighting wits and courage

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a sly gaze, and he carefully looked at the person in front of him, he had a sense of déjà vu, and he suddenly realized that this person was not necessarily sent by Bee Suka, but was most likely Zhang Gou'er's subordinate!

At this moment, Zhu Hui was also staring at Lin Feng intently, and both sides were guessing the opponent's thoughts......

Lin Feng thought that if he was sent by Zhang Gou'er, it meant that he had already understood the intentions of all parties, and the Spaniards had already become suspicious of Bee Suka, and if they attacked the barracks in advance and wiped out the Japanese reinforcements, the uprising would be stillborn; If Beesuka had acted in advance and they had captured Manila overnight, and their forces were too scattered and the Ryukyu troops were small, then Luzon would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. [No pop-ups. 】

Of course, there is another possibility, Lin Feng knew that the "personal representative" of Fujian Governor Pang Shangpeng arrived in Manila, accompanied by a Jinyiwei, who had received a flying pigeon from Bee Suga, this Jinyi Wei was Zhu Hui, the son of Qiu Mu Pu's husband, Zhu Hui, could it be that Zhang Gou'er and Zhu Hui were in collusion, they joined forces to kill Bee Suga, so that they immediately set off a riot, they took the opportunity to attract the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty sent officials to control Manila, and then rule the Nanyang Islands.

For Lin Feng, he is no stranger to Zhu Hui, he was in charge of taking care of his wife and children in Nanjing, and from the perspective of conscience, he did not let his wife and children suffer the slightest grievance, he should be grateful to Zhu Hui; But after all, Zhu Hui and Zhang Gou'er became the "eagle dogs" of the imperial court, and from this point of view, these two are their enemies!

Lin Feng treats Zhang Gou'er as if he were his own son, but now, his identity has become the commander of the expeditionary force of the Ming Dynasty's vassal state, it is difficult to say that he can get this position, it is not Zhu Hui who won it for him, even if Zhang Gou'er has the heart to help himself, but his P shares are already sitting on the side of the government. In the past two months, he has not kept in touch with Zhang Gou'er, and he has some regrets at the moment.

The two sides looked at each other for a quarter of an hour, and Zhu Hui suddenly noticed that there were some subtle changes in Lin Feng's face, and he suspected that he had recognized himself, and his heart couldn't help but thump......

At this time, I only heard Lin Feng sigh: "It's a pity! Zhang Gou'er no longer obeys my command, please go back and tell General Bee Suka to act when he has the opportunity, and he doesn't have to have any scruples. ”

Zhu Hui judged that maybe Lin Feng thought that he was sent by Zhang Gou'er, and he had to show the persistence of the Japanese and continue to be stubborn in order to let Lin Feng fall into the trap, so he suddenly took a step forward on the tatami mat, lowered his head very seriously, and said seriously: "Please Lin Daao, don't see death and don't save him, if the uprising can't be advanced, please think of a way to contain Zhang Fan, don't miss our big thing!" ”

Lin Feng spread his hands out, indicating that he couldn't do anything, and at the moment when he relaxed his vigilance, Zhu Hui reached out and pulled out the saber on his body with lightning speed, which frightened him so much that he hurriedly moved a few steps back, almost falling off the tatami mat.

So, Zhu Hui pointed a scimitar at his abdomen and said fiercely: "Lord Lin, if I humiliate my mission, I should apologize in front of you!" ”

Lin Feng suddenly calmed down a lot, waved his hand and replied, "The big battle is imminent, how can a real warrior be as brave as a horseman?" There is really no need for this, so let's do it, I will write a letter to Zhang Fan and Bee Suga, please take it away, I believe that Zhang Fan will not embarrass you again. ”

At this moment, Zhu Hui had already untied his clothes and was ready to cut his stomach at any time, and after hearing this, he shook his head and replied: "I stole out of the barracks to deliver a letter to Lord Lin Daao this time, it is already a helpless move, where can I go back?" Since the uprising cannot be carried out in advance, once the matter is not secret, or General Zhang Fan is the J of the Ming army, then more than 2,000 of us will be poisoned, please consider it carefully. ”

"So what can you let me do? Do you want me to go into the barracks to find Zhang Gou'er? Lin Feng asked helplessly.

Zhu Hui knew that their military action was already on the line, and Lin Feng would never sit idly by. So, he quietly said, "It doesn't have to be! If you have a misunderstanding with Zhang Fan, then there is someone you and General Zhang Fan who can help clear up the misunderstanding between you, or she can help you give Zhang Fan an order, please guess who this person is? ”

At this time, Lin Feng's eyes were rolling around, and the first thing he thought of was Zhu Hui, and he asked tentatively, "Is it for me to contact the son of the husband?" ”

Zhu Hui immediately shook his head and replied, "This is a channel. ”

Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with surprise, he stretched his head forward, showing great interest, and hurriedly asked, "Other than that, who else can take on this role?" ”

Feeling that Lin Feng was about to enter the set, Zhu Hui tied his coat belt, returned the saber to Lin Feng, and drank a few sips of water unhurriedly, before asking: "Lord Lin Daao, please think about it, why did you ask you to be in Pasig Village?" ”

"It used to be Zhang Gou'er's camp, is there anyone else left there?" Lin Feng asked.

"Yes, there are people, but not the officers and soldiers of the Ryukyu Kingdom, nor your former subordinates, I hope you can think about it seriously and help us make a judgment to see if this person can help?" Zhu Hui continued to sell Guanzi.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng remembered the kind missionary Mark and the Chinese priest in Hawksbill Harbor, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be someone from the church?" ”

"That's right, it's not right!" Zhu Hui replied.

Could it be that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, the two who don't know how to die, are here again, and they will have such a good heart to save themselves? Lin Feng was really vague, if it was the two of them, the person in front of him must be sent by Zhang Gou'er, then this also shows that the imperial court is trying to get involved in Luzon!

Thinking of this, Lin Feng smiled secretly, shook his head and sighed: "I, Lin, have been wandering the world for many years, and I have always been moral, and I have made countless friends with heroes in the world, and in this time of crisis, there are not a few people who want to help me, since you know who this person is and where he is, take my letter to him." ”

Zhu Hui shook his head and replied, "If you ask this person for help, you have to go out yourself!" ”

To be honest, Lin Feng looks down on the Japanese ronin very much, and so far, he hasn't even asked who the other party's surname is? At this moment, he suddenly felt that the person in front of him was by no means simple, pulled out his saber and pointed at the other party, and asked sharply, "May I ask who your Excellency is?" ”

Zhu Hui didn't want to expose himself too early, and continued to stare at Lin Feng without the slightest panic, waved his hand at him, and straightened his lips and stopped answering.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a long time, Lin Feng looked haggard, and continued to ask, "What is the purpose of your trip?" ”

"We have already tested Zhang Fan, he only obeys your command, and the carrier pigeons have been killed, therefore, there must be someone you both trust to keep in touch with us, I have to venture here this time, I really have to send it!"

At this moment, Lin Feng was extremely impatient, and asked angrily, "So, who is this person?" ”

"This person is a lady from the Sakai Town Council, and she helped deliver a letter to you in Manila."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes widened, the muscles of his face shook a few times, and he threw the saber on the tatami mat, and suddenly became silent.

Half an hour passed, the sky was already white, after half a night of wits and courage, Lin Feng felt very tired, he rubbed his eyes, and actually shed a few tears.

"Lord Lin, please don't disappoint Miss Louise, she is still waiting to become the Governor's Wife!" Zhu Hui persuaded at the right time.

Of course, Lin Feng knew that it was Louise who was so infatuated with him, and in order to return to the Tortoiseshell Harbor to have a tryst with him, he did not personally hand over the letter to a trusted person, but hid it in the Manila Cathedral and fell into the hands of Archbishop Perez, which eventually led to the destruction of the Tortoiseshell Harbor.

Lin Feng did not blame Louise for this incident, he heard that Louise and Mark had also come to Manila and rescued his brother-in-law Ma Wu, which showed that they were still deeply trusted by the Manila authorities, and also showed that the two were still helping themselves......

In recent months, Lin Feng led his troops to hibernation, because he was busy planning riots in various places, he did not know much about Louise's situation, and heard that she lived in Zhang Gou'er's camp, indicating that there must be a close connection between them, and it was really good to ask her to be the liaison and let Zhang Gou'er obey his command.

After weighing all the pros and cons, Lin Feng's heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and finally made up his mind to see Louise, but he didn't want to say anything more to the person in front of him.

The two sides were silent for a long time, it was almost dawn, Lin Feng stood up and clapped his hands, the door opened, and a servant walked in.

"Master, what are your orders?" The servant asked.

"Please entertain this strong man, I'm going out to do something soon." Lin Feng said, and got off the tatami mat.

At this time, Zhu Hui said: "Please don't act rashly, you don't know where Miss Louise is." ”

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Didn't you say that she was in the church in Pasig Village?" ”

"It's a church in a neighboring village, make no mistake." Zhu Hui replied.

"Which church the hell?" Lin Feng asked extremely impatiently.

"Take me with you to find out which church it is."

Lin Feng began to hesitate again, in order to keep the secret of the stronghold, he wanted to trap him here, but now he found that this person was extremely cunning, if he didn't take him with him, he might not really be able to find Louise.

In order to ensure the success of the uprising, it was necessary to let Zhang Gou'er obey the command, and after thinking for a long time, Lin Feng ordered someone to put a hood on Zhu Hui again, tied his hands, and then took him to board a small boat.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the village, some people desperately ran out of the village, a group of mad dogs tore at the villagers who were fleeing for their lives, and the cries of men, women and children resounded in the sky......

Lin Feng and the others, who had just boarded the ship, were all taken aback, and someone put a knife on Zhu Hui's neck.

"This hateful J thin, kill him!" Lin Feng ordered.

As soon as Lin Feng's words fell, a vicious dog jumped up from the shore, instantly rushed to the boat, and was about to bite Zhu Hui, the strong man who was about to kill was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged and fell into the river with a thud.

Zhu Hui also jumped into the river and splashed in the water for a while, and suddenly found that someone was cutting the rope that bound him and taking off his hood.

The big wolf dog was like crazy, catching and biting anyone on the boat, and Lin Feng and the others had to jump into the river, and at this time, the Spanish soldiers also rushed to the shore.

Ma Zhishan pulled Zhu Hui with one hand and Lin Feng with the other, and they went down the river and swam forward desperately......

Lin Feng was not surprised by Ma Zhishan's sudden appearance, swam to his side, and asked with a smile: "The ninth brother finally invited the old gentleman again, how many of you came this time?" How did you find it here? ”

Before Ma Zhishan could reply, the Spanish soldiers began to shoot into the river, and Lin Feng's subordinates were really loyal, they climbed ashore and fought with the Spanish soldiers......

At this time, Zhu Hui suddenly woke up, no wonder the vicious dog bit him, and no wonder General Fernando ignored this operation, it seems that they were not idle at all, and they couldn't help but worry about everyone's fate.

Zhu Hui, who originally wanted to resist the enemy in the back, found that there were no Spaniards to chase him, so he desperately swam to Ma Zhishan's side and asked, "Old man, are you ready?" ”

"Childe, don't worry, it's all ready." Ma Zhishan replied.

Zhu Hui was still speaking pure Japanese just now, but at this time, he found that he was quite familiar with Ma Zhishan, and Lin Feng knew that he was sent by Zhang Gou'er, so he swam to their side and pretended to be angry and scolded: "Dog, this stinky boy!" Since we know that the foreign devils have discovered our stronghold, they didn't report to me earlier, and they actually played such a hand for Lao Tzu, and if we were one step later, we would all become ghosts under the guns of foreign devils! ”

Zhu Hui turned around to look, only to see that the whole village was on fire, the cries of men, women and children were endless, and all the strong men under Lin Feng were sacrificed, and the Westerners were able to board the fishing boat and chase them along the river......

So, why is Ma Zhishan here?

In fact, he had already understood the intention of the vicious dog to bite Zhu Hui, and for more than a day, he had been secretly observing the actions of the general's yamen alone, until someone ran out with the vicious dog, and he followed them......

In order to confuse Zhu Hui, Lin Feng's subordinates took him to swim in the sea and river for a long time, in fact, they had been circling outside Manila, and changed vehicles several times along the way, so that the vicious dog spent a night of hard work, until dawn, he could find Lin Feng's stronghold.

Ma Zhishan had been hiding in this small river for a long time, and he found that the dog had been wandering around the village, and he wanted to go to ventilate the news, but he was afraid of startling the snake, and when Lin Feng escorted Zhu Hui out of the village, the Spanish soldiers began to attack the village.

Lin Feng and the others got on the boat, Ma Zhishan judged that Zhu Hui had succeeded, and at this time, he didn't want to provoke Lin Feng suddenly, so he lurked in another small boat, but he didn't expect that before their boat left, the vicious dog pounced......

At the same time, Shen Qi spent a lot of money to hire a merchant ship, which had already docked in the sea outside Pasig Village, and the fourteen strong men led by Chen Zhi were ready in the church, just waiting for Zhu Hui to get Lin Feng and immediately send him, Louise, Mark and others to the mainland.

Plans often can't catch up with the change, behind them, the Spanish soldiers drove the boat in hot pursuit, at this critical juncture, in order to cover Ma Zhishan and Lin Feng, Zhu Hui stepped forward again, swam towards the boat in reverse, and suddenly climbed onto their boat.

The Spanish soldiers were all startled, and immediately threw him down in the cabin, several long knives pointed at his back.

Zhu Hui turned around, wiped the river water on his face, pointed at the Spanish commander on the boat and scolded: "Stupid pig! Bad for me and General Fernando! ”

The Spanish commander recognized Zhu Hui and was immediately taken aback, and found a soldier who knew Chinese from a nearby ship, and then asked, "Where did the pirate leader Lin Feng go?" ”

Zhu Hui pushed away the long knife in front of him, stood up from the deck, slapped the commander fiercely, and scolded angrily: "You stupid pig! The pirate leader Lin Feng has already fallen for me, because of your sudden appearance, now let him run, see how you go back and explain to General Fernando? ”

The commander touched his hot face, did not dare to compete with this intelligence officer of the Ming Dynasty, looked up, and saw a few empty boats swaying in the water, how could there be half a figure......
