The sun gathered up the scorching domineering, showing a golden red light, spreading on the vast surface of the South China Sea, pieces of colorful clouds spread, dyeing the sea and the sky into orange-red, Daifuku ship rolled up layers of waves, like glittering broken gold, in the sparkling waves with a charming luster......

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the Daifuku ship sailed towards the mainland, it was the beginning of August, a round of crescent moon hung in the sky early, Luo Amin, Guo Yi and Xu Linger and others stood on the side of the ship, looking at the vast sea, all silent. [No pop-ups. 】

Zhang Gou'er came over with Lin Aying, and while Luo Amin was talking to his daughter, he came to Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, and asked in a low voice: "Two sisters, do you really want Louise to be the second lady of the big o?" Or let her go back to Sakaicho? What are you going to do with her? ”

"Brother Dog, follow Lady Luo to Ryukyu, we need your help." Xu Linger did not answer positively.

"It's your duty! I just don't know what to do with this Louise? Zhang Gou'er continued to ask questions with an anxious look on his face.

"Hehe, Brother Dog is worthy of being the disciple of Elder Moon Sky, with a compassionate feeling." Guo Yi praised.

By this time, Luo Amin had heard what they were saying, perhaps because she didn't want to be jealous with Louise, or maybe she didn't want her emotions to affect them, so she took her daughter's hand and quietly left the deck.

So, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er told Zhang Gou'er in detail about the current situation of Elder Moon Sky and others, as well as the reason why they came to Tortoiseshell Harbor.

Zhang Gou'er sighed when he heard this, and sighed: "Two sisters, this monkey Hideyoshi has a lot of ambitions, and his scheming is so deep, you must be more careful when dealing with him." ”

"There are all kinds of signs that sooner or later the monkey will replace the fool, maybe only in this way can the fool's madness be stopped, and the plan of 'the world's martial arts' will be stillborn." When Guo Yi didn't mention Oda Nobunaga, he didn't want to call him by his name, but replaced him with a fool.

"Doesn't monkeys have the ambition of fools?" Zhang Gou'er asked.

Guo Yi nodded and replied: "I heard that this monkey is a devout Buddhist, at least a thousand times better than that fool." ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er reminded: "Not necessarily, Uncle Guo sent Wen Tao to travel all over the world, secretly visiting people with high moral standing and benevolent hearts, hoping to support this person to replace him after the official fall of the Muromachi shogunate, as far as I know, this monkey is not included in their list of candidates." ”

"But no matter what, we can't underestimate this monkey, not to mention that we still have to deal with him." Guo Yi replied.

Zhang Gou'er pondered for a moment, and then said cautiously: "The two sisters are reasonable, since Louise is a person sent by the monkey, we might as well make good use of it. ”

"How's Louise doing?" Xu Ling'er asked.

In order to ensure her safety, Mr. Mark arranged for her to rest in the captain's room. Let's go, I'll take you to meet her. ”

At this moment, Louise, who was exhausted, was lying on the bed sleeping, suddenly felt the light, exclaimed, and hurriedly sat up......

Finding that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were coming, their expressions were a little calmer, and they couldn't help but cover the wound on their arms with their hands, and seemed to bow their heads in shame.

So, Xu Linger took out the herbs she was carrying, took the opportunity to take Zhang Gou'er, and with the help of Guo Yi, cleaned her wounds all over her body before applying the medicine to her, and Louise expressed her gratitude for this.

"You're welcome, you're all friends with Mr. Ronzo Konishi." Xu Ling'er said, showing a charming smile.

Louise was taken aback, turned to look at Guo Yi, and found that she nodded seriously, and suddenly felt like falling into the clouds......

At this time, Xu Ling'er continued: "Miss Louise, the elders of the congregation have entrusted you to find Mr. Mark, and Mr. Xiao Xi Longzuo secretly asked you to contact Lin Feng, and now that there is so much trouble, where will you go?" ”

Louise's mission to Luzon was to find Mark, and now she knew that the munitions ship had actually been intercepted by the Taiwanese guards, and that the two Ming officials in front of her were involved; Suddenly hearing that these two Ming Dynasty officials were "friends" of Xiao Nishilongzuo, although they did not understand what they meant, they still replied with confidence: "Although I have experienced many twists and turns, in fact, my task has been completed." ”

"Oda Nobunaga and the Sakai Town Federation reached a musket trade agreement, and Konishi Takuza wanted to participate, but Oda Nobunaga turned him away, and asked Mr. Mark to go to Ise Bay to deliver to Niwa Nagahide, presumably for the sake of this, you should know very well." When Xu Ling'er said this, she deliberately bought a pass, paused for a moment, and then continued: "The object of Xiao Xi Longzuo's allegiance is Yu Chai Zhu Maemo, Miss Louise, please think about it carefully, is there any task that has not been completed?" ”

Louise pondered for a moment, then replied decisively, "I've already done everything I need to do, what else can I do?" As for the wax pill letter that Lin Feng sent me to deliver, I don't know what it was about at all......"

Before she could finish speaking, Guo Yi shouted: "Enough, then Lin Feng promised you to be the governor's wife, how should you explain?" ”

This hit her in the soft underbelly, and when Louise heard this, the spirit shuddered and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Miss Louise, after leaving Luzon, may I ask if you should go to Ryukyu and find a man named Suhachi in Naha Port......

Hearing this, Louise was startled, and immediately interrupted Xu Ling'er, staring at her with big eyes and exclaiming: "It turns out, it turns out that you are the ...... sent to Ryukyu by Yuchai Chikumamamo."

At this time, Guo Yi's cold gaze went straight to Louise, showed his sword, and pressed it against her chest, which frightened her and quickly shut her mouth.

"You don't have to be afraid, the person Mr. Konishi Ryonzo asked you to find in the Ryukyus is actually us, there is nothing to hide." Xu Ling'er said calmly.

"But, but you are all officials of the Ming Dynasty, how is this—how is this possible?" Louise stammered.

Xu Ling'er replied with a smile: "Our identity is very complicated, I can't explain it in one or two sentences, you were originally going to Ryukyu to find us, since we meet now, let's finish what needs to be done, we are all women, and we can discuss anything." ”

Louise felt really incredible, and replied with a gloomy expression: "Now that Lin Tai O's main army has defeated Tortoiseshell Harbor, it is meaningless to say this......"

"Do you dare to go back to Sakai again?" Guo Yi immediately interrupted her again.

"I didn't find you at Naha Port, but I finally met with you, and now that my mission has been completed, since we are all friends, please try to send me back to Sakai Town." Louise replied.

After hearing these heartless words, Guo Yi suddenly aimed his sword at Louise again, and asked very sternly: "What did Xiao Nishironzo ask you to do in Naha Port?" Tell the truth, if there is half a lie, I will kill you immediately. ”

So, Louise cast a distressed glance at Xu Ling'er and found that she had no intention of stopping Guo Yi, so she replied tremblingly: "No, didn't let me do anything." ”

"Hmph, don't you say that we also know that it was for you to take Lin Feng's people to Ryukyu and take over our warehouse, that's how it was arranged, right?" Guo Yi asked.

"Yes, yes, I put the wax pill letter into the cathedral and returned to the hawksbill port to pick up people, Lord Lin Daao is not at ease with his subordinates, and he wants to test those candidates, and before the final selection is made, you suddenly arrived at the hawksbill port. But I didn't know who you were at the time. Louise replied.

Listening to Louise's words, everything was not what Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er expected, and verified the purpose of the monkey Hideyoshi to entrust them to Ryukyu, glanced at each other, and let out a knowing smile.

So, Guo Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, suddenly gritted his teeth, and began to curse his enemy Oda Nobunaga in his heart......

This expression startled Louise, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Konishi Ronzo asked me to tell Lin Feng that the people sent to Ryukyu can't hurt you, he said, ......"

"What did he say?" Guo Yi asked impatiently.

"Miss Xinyi will be of great use in the future."

Guo Yi was suddenly furious, grabbed her hair, and asked coldly: "To tell you the truth, whether I am a monkey or a fool, they are all my enemies!" Now that you understand, do you still think you can go back to Sakaimachi? ”

"And what do you want to do with me?" Louise asked in horror.

"My sister is right, whether it's the Sakai Town Federation or the Manila authorities, I'm afraid that wherever you go now, you will be hunted down." Xu Ling'er then comforted: "Please don't be afraid, we can ensure that you have no worries." ”

In fact, Louise was well aware of her predicament, and was immediately moved to tears, and couldn't help shouting: "Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva......"

Xu Ling'er said with a smile: "For you, now the Bodhisattva is more useful than the heavens. ”

Louise, who was very excited, hurriedly asked, "What can I do for you?" ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er glanced at each other, made eye contact with each other, and immediately understood what each other meant.

So, Xu Ling'er said: "We have a caravan trapped in Qiumepo, please rest assured, we are not engaged in arms trading, mainly from the Ming Dynasty to purchase silk, tea and porcelain and other goods, sell to all over the world, accumulate funds to sail to the New World in the future, promote our Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture, and compete with your Jesuits." ”

Louise asked, confused, "In this case, we are competitors, how can we cooperate?" ”

"Please don't be embarrassed, if you can accept our culture, it's your own business to change your faith, even if you are a Christian, it doesn't prevent us from doing business, like Mr. Mark, wouldn't it be good?" Xu Ling'er replied.

"As a servant of God, I shouldn't do this, not to mention that I haven't dealt with the people of the Ming Dynasty, let alone been to the Ming Dynasty Continent, which is really a bit difficult." Louise began to hesitate again.

Guo Yi sneered and asked, "Lin Feng is from the Ming Dynasty, you even want to be her wife, how can you say that you haven't dealt with her?" ”

"This, this is different." Louise argued: "This is a world where the weak eat the strong, if it weren't for the Hawksbill Harbor accident, maybe Mr. Lin Feng would have been able to conquer the Philippines, and I, a woman's family, would have only had this point of interest." ”

"It seems that if it weren't for the incident at Hawksbill Harbor, would you have stayed there and not left?" Xu Ling'er asked.

Louise, who looked flustered, nodded hurriedly.

"As you know for sure, Madame Roche can't tolerate you living in Hawksbill Harbor." Guo Yi glared at him as he spoke, and asked sharply, "Now let me ask you, what else have you done in Manila?" ”

"I, I bought a trading terminal in Manila, and according to the instructions of Mr. Lonzo Konishi, I was going to hand it over to the owner of Lin Taiao, but before I could do it, something happened to the tortoiseshell port." Louise replied.

Suddenly, the door of the captain's room was pushed open, and Luo Amin broke in angrily, pushed Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er to the side, raised his hand and gave Louise a big slap, and scolded: "You stinky and shameless person, you are still thinking about Lin Feng when you are dying, and if you dare to step into Manila City half a step in the future, the Jesuits will crucify you." ”

"Madam, I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Louise covered her face and lowered her head, not daring to look at Luo Amin.

Xu Ling'er persuaded: "Please calm your anger, Madame, we have persuaded Louise to join the merchant group of Elder Moon Sky." Now that the Hawksbill Harbor is gone, perhaps her trading depot in Manila will be able to help us a lot in the future. ”

"That warehouse is used by the Wakou to contact Lin Feng." Luo Amin replied.

If you want to completely sever the connection between Louise and Ronzo Konishi, Lin Feng, in addition to throwing an olive branch, you must have enough chips.

So, Xu Linger nodded silently at Guo Yi, took out a bag from his body, took out two yellow papers, and gave them to Louise.

"What is this?" Louise asked, puzzled.

"These are two quotation tickets from the city department, Louise, as long as you cooperate with us, with these two merchant shipping quotation tickets, you can knock on the door of the royal city of Manila again, do you understand?"

Although she couldn't understand what was written on them, Louise knew that these two pieces of paper were worth a lot of money, and asked cautiously, "In this way, as long as you join the merchant group of Elder Moon Sky, you can continue to do business in Manila?" ”

Guo Yi nodded and replied: "Of course, although we will not interfere with your faith, we will never allow you to continue to associate with Xiao Xi Longzuo, Lin Feng and others, once discovered, you will definitely die without a place to be buried!" ”
