Knowing that Ah Ping had been picked up by Zhang Sanguan, Wen Tao thought that she would return to Ah Min's side, and her sister would take care of her, but he was relieved.

Wen Tao, who was lying on the hospital bed, cursed Xianru every day, after the castle in Qiumupu was ransacked, Lu Yunlong judged that the few national treasures that the emperor was looking for should still be in the hands of Lin Yiguan, and he was ready to wait for Wen Tao's illness to recover, and asked him to help arrest Lin Yiguan, Wen Tao agreed without hesitation.

Xu Ling'er and Lu Yunlong are still investigating Lin Yiguan's whereabouts, as long as they go out, the warriors of the Shimazu family will not leave him.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of March, and the villagers were almost gone, and there was still no news from Lin Yiguan, and it seemed that he might not return to Akimeura, and at this time, the samurai of the Shimazu family gradually relaxed their vigilance.

The spring rain continued to fall, and just as they managed to evade surveillance and prepare to leave Akimeura, Guo Guoqiang, dressed as a samurai, suddenly returned.

Not long ago, a naval battle broke out between the Shimazu clan and the Hinata Ito family, Guo Guoqiang made great achievements, Shimazu Yoshihiro fulfilled his promise and made him an ashigaru samurai, because he did not have his own territory, Shimazu Yoshihisa sent him to Akimeura, Kawabe County, in order to find this treasure, to be responsible for the robbery.

After Guo Guoqiang came back, he told everyone in detail what he had learned, and at the same time told them that the two treasures that the court was looking for might have fallen into the hands of three good people.

Wen Tao, who had not recovered from a serious illness, knew that he was wrong to blame Xianru, and persuaded Lu Yunlong and Xu Ling'er to return to Shishan Honganji Temple as soon as possible, find Xianru's help, and claim back the two national treasures.

Guo Guoqiang stayed in Qiumepu to continue to hunt for treasures, and at the same time he was able to take care of Wen Tao, Xu Linger and Lu Yunlong were relieved, and the next day, the two of them went to Shishan Honganji Temple.

As soon as he entered the mountain gate of Shishan Honganji Temple, Xianru greeted him, folded his hands, bowed his head and said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, my sister is not harmed!" ”

Xu Ling'er replied politely: "Brother Fawang, I'm here to trouble you again." ”

So, Xianru invited them into the Lay Forest, offered tea to the two of them, sat opposite them, and said with a red face: "Sister, and this Lord Qincha, there is a traitor in our Honganji Temple, and the poor monk is sorry for you and has caused you trouble, I am really ashamed. ”

They already knew all these things, and they didn't say anything more in the face of Xianru's sincere apology.

After chatting a few words, it was obvious that Wen Tao's illness was asked, and Xu Ling'er judged that it might take a few days for him to recover, and after he recovered, he would come to Honganji Temple to become a monk.

Xianru closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, the six senses have their own good karma, and I have already given him his Dharma name." ”

Xu Ling'er smiled slightly and asked, "Really?" Please tell me about it. ”

"Drifting paradise, misty journey, I wish the sky and the sea, sent to the Buddha."

"So, it's called Master Tianhai?"

"Amitabha, the heavenly machine cannot be revealed, most of the previous disciples' Dharma names have the word 'wind', like the wind, the wind, the wind, etc., and now there is a traitor of 'chasing the wind', so I don't use the word 'wind'."

Then, Xu Linger asked Xianru to help and find the three good people to ask for the national treasure.

Xianru said that this matter should not be rushed, he had inquired clearly, what the three of them wanted to do when they stole these treasures, so he asked the two of them to stay in Honganji Temple first, waiting for his news.

In this way, the two lived in Shishan Honganji for more than a month, during which Wen Tao did not come to Honganji to become a monk, and Wang Chong and Guo Yi, who searched for Lin Yiguan in Owari Province, did not have any news, which inevitably made everyone wait a little anxious.

In early May, the Sanko and Matsunaga Shu led the samurai of Settsu Province to Kamiro in the name of congratulating the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru on his birthday and presented the treasures to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Xianru was very confident, and immediately wrote a letter to Ashikaga Yoshiki and handed it to Xu Ling'er, with this letter, he should be able to get those two national treasures back from Yoshiki's hands.

In order to avoid the investigation of Matsunaga Xiu, Xianru sent more than a dozen monks and soldiers to escort Lu Yunlong and Xu Ling'er to Kyoto.

Kyoto has a long history, called "Heiankyo" in ancient times, influenced by Chinese civilization, modeled after the pattern of the Chinese imperial capital, divided into east and west two parts, the west side of the right capital imitation Chang'an, the east side of the left capital imitation Luoyang, only because the right capital "Chang'an" is mostly swampland, in fact, Kyoto's only left capital "Luoyang", therefore, to go to Beijing called "Shangluo".

When Xu Ling'er and others arrived at "Luoyang," it was already the evening of 18 May.

When the group arrived at the Imperial Palace of the Shogunate of Nijo Castle in Kyoto, Xu Ling'er took out the letter of Xianru, and under the leadership of the guards, entered Yoshiki's mansion.

The shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, was also in his thirties, about the same age as Lu Yunlong, and he had just finished practicing his sword in the palace and was preparing for a meal in good spirits.

A guard came over and presented the letter to Ashikaga Yoshiki, who read it and said in surprise, "What a blessing from the Buddha!" Quan Seng is sending timely news that Jiuxiu Xiaoer dares to rebel! Arrange a banquet to entertain the reinforcements of Honganji. ”

Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru personally entertained the "reinforcements" of Honganji Temple, and expressed his gratitude at the banquet; Xu Ling'er also represented Honganji Temple and expressed his loyalty to the shogun.

After the banquet, Xu Ling'er said: "Lord General, this time Matsunaga Xiu and the three of Miyoshi came in the name of congratulating their birthdays, I am afraid that they will have bad intentions, Honganji will always be loyal to the general, if Jiuxiu Xiao'er is rude, I will definitely take it down, but among the gifts they brought, a bronze mirror and a Buddhist shrine are the treasures of Honganji Temple, and I hope that the general will return it to the Dharma King Monk Zhengda." ”

"Of course, all of them will be sent to Honganji, and I will not accept any gifts from the traitors." Ashikaga Yoshiteru replied.

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly noticed that Lu Yunlong, who was carrying a sword, never said a word, so he asked, "This swordsman, may I ask which swordsmanship you practice?" ”

Xu Ling'er knew that he didn't understand, so he hurriedly explained: "The peerless master invited by the Dharma King Quan Monk Zheng from Daming came to escort the general. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki listened, looked very excited, only to see him smile reservedly, and said: "I studied under the new Yin school of immortal sword saint Mr. Shangquan Shingang, Mr. Shingang can be described as 'looking for the past and looking for the present invincible, the first person to reach the kendo', but unfortunately Yoshiki is dull, the art is not exquisite, I have always wanted to understand the master of the Ming Dynasty, today is a rare opportunity, please do not shirk." ”

When Xu Ling'er translated these words, Lu Yunlong didn't expect that this powerful shogun general was actually a martial arts master, so he stood up and said, "Since Your Excellency the General is interested, it is a great honor to be here, please give the general advice." ”

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki and Lu Yunlong laughed loudly at the same time, and the two held hands together, quite sympathetic.

So, they competed in the martial arts arena, and Yihui really had superb swordsmanship and amazing strength, especially the sword in his hand, which could be called a divine object, and actually cut off Lu Yunlong's sword.

Ashikaga Yoshiki hurriedly withdrew his hand, handed the sword in his hand to Lu Yunlong, and said: "The Chinese chivalrous warrior is really extraordinary, and I am willing to give you this blade." ”

Lu Yunlong didn't take the sword, and replied: "Thank you for the mercy of the general's subordinates, and they don't dare to take away people's love." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki said with a smile: "In this case, then you can't go without a sword for a day, tomorrow you will go to my study and arsenal, all the swords are at your disposal, you are tired all the way to the saddle horse, let's rest early." ”

On May 19, the eighth year of Eiroku, when the east had just turned white, Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi led more than 300 people, not at all, and directly besieged the residence of the shogun of Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

Ashikaga Yoshiki had just gotten up and was washing up when he suddenly heard shouts of killing outside, and was about to ask what was going on, when a guard ran in in a panic and reported the situation outside.

Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru bowed his head and muttered for a moment, knowing that there would be a fierce battle today, and that even if there were a dozen or so reinforcements from Honganji, it might not be able to defeat Matsunaga Shu, he picked up the wine glass and came to his wife, and said with tears in his eyes:

The May rain is like tears,

May I be a cuckoo flying with wings,

Soaring into the clouds,

And send my name to the immortal

The general's wife was full of tears, drank wine in a cup with her husband, and hurriedly ran to the study, picked up a pen and wrote down Yihui's poems, and then took out more than 20 swords and placed them in front of him.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru laughed heartily and said affectionately, "Madame, take care! Then he led more than 30 guards to rush out.

At this time, the rebel team had already entered the palace gate, Ashikaga Yoshiteru let out a roar of rage, and threw a sword in his hand towards the rebels, Matsunaga Shu hurriedly dodged, stabbed the soldiers behind him, only to hear him scream and fall in a pool of blood.

Matsunaga waved the scimitar in his hand and shouted, "Start shooting!" ”

So, the musketeers in the front row pointed their guns at Ashikaga Yoshiteru and prepared to light the arquebus......

At this critical moment, the courtiers of the Shogun's Mansion rushed from the left and right, hugging each other with their guns, and these loyal men still stood tall and stood in front of Ashikaga Yoshiki.

The gunshots alarmed the guests living in the backyard, and Xu Ling'er, Lu Yunlong, and a dozen monks and soldiers from Ishiyama Honganji Temple walked out of the guest rooms and asked what was going on in the house?

Listening to the introduction of the servants in the house, Xu Ling'er said in surprise: "It seems that Songyongxiu, a chaotic minister and thief, did not come to pay homage to his birthday, but led troops to kill him, could it be that the news of Xianru is wrong?" ”

Lu Yunlong hated the rebellious ministers and thieves the most in his life, and without saying a word, he snatched a scimitar from the monks of Honganji Temple, and was about to go to help.

Xu Ling'er judged that since the three of Sanhao and Matsu Yongxiu had rebelled, they definitely didn't send any gifts, so they wanted to stop Lu Yunlong, but he had already led the monks and soldiers into the front yard.

When Xu Ling'er chased after him, he saw dozens of retainers standing in front of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who had already been beaten with muskets and covered in blood, and the scene was terrible.

At this time, I suddenly heard Ashikaga Yoshiki shouting loudly: "Jiuxiu Xiaoer, don't be complacent, the warrior swears to kill Er and other rebellious people!" ”

Taking advantage of the change of musketeers, Ashikaga Yoshiki waved the sword in his hand, and Lu Yunlong followed closely behind, killing the rebel team......

Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly found that Xu Ling'er was protecting his wife and preparing to evacuate, so he shouted to Lu Yunlong, who was participating in the war: "Chivalry doesn't have to be in love, my wife will please you." ”

Knowing that Lu Yunlong didn't understand, Xu Ling'er shouted loudly: "Lord Lu, in order to protect the general's wife, we broke through the backyard. ”

Seeing that Lu Yunlong and Xu Ling'er rescued his wife, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru used all his life to display the Sanin, Moon Shadow, float, Ming Body and other means of the New Yin School.

The entourage kept handing the new sword to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, only to see him move forward bravely and kill dozens of rebels, but the rebels came like a tide, and he lost more than ten swords in a row, and gradually exhausted his strength......

The shogunate guards and monks all fell under the sword of the rebels, Ashikaga Yoshiki knew that the limit had come, and fought and retreated, and suddenly found that Xu Ling'er and Lu Yunlong and others were back, and they knew that the backyard had been blocked, so he and Lu Yunlong rushed into the rebel team again, and the two of them slashed the rebels who came like a tide, and cut the sword in their hands.

At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki threw the last sword to Lu Yunlong and said: "I promise you, give you a good sword, catch it, this sword is like my life, I have never used it before, it can protect you from breaking out of the encirclement, you go." ”

Lu Yunlong fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed a good sword!

At this moment, Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled slightly, used the short knife in his hand as a mirror, straightened his clothes, and glared angrily at Matsunaga Shu and Miyoshi.

Seeing that the shogun was at the end of his rope, Matsunaga Hideki ordered the rebels to stop attacking. At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiki pointed to Lu Yunlong and the others, and said loudly: "Jiuxiu Xiaoer, don't kill innocents indiscriminately, please let them go." ”

Matsunaga Hidehide found that Ashikaga Yoshiteru had been targeting him, and at this time, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the hands of the three of Miyoshi, and because he didn't want to fall behind the infamy of forcing the general to death and killing innocents, he waved his hand, and the rebels gave way.

Lu Yunlong and Xu Ling'er were protecting the general's wife, and when they were about to walk out of the palace, Matsunaga Xiu suddenly remembered the interception in Dongcheng County, and he almost died at the hands of these two people, and he was immediately furious.

At this time, I suddenly heard Sanhao Changyi shouting loudly: "Yihui Xiaoer, your end has come!" ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru waited for Lu Yunlong and the others to go away, picked off his shirt, took a short knife with his navel as the center, cut in all directions, turned into a sunset cut pattern, and fell in a pool of blood......

The three of Miyoshi laughed loudly and carried away the body of Ashikaga Yoshiki together, but at this moment, Matsunaga Shu ordered his soldiers to turn their guns and chase them out.

Suddenly, Lu Yunlong found that there were chasing soldiers behind him, and said to Xu Ling'er: "You guys hurry up and leave, I'll break the queen." ”

Xu Ling'er looked behind her and found that there were more and more chasing soldiers, and she had the intention to help Lu Yunlong kill the enemy together, but she was dragged by the general's wife and couldn't get out.

"Ling'er, if you don't leave quickly, none of us can leave, don't worry about me, I'll try this good sword of the shogun." As he spoke, Lu Yunlong held a sword in his hand and killed the rebels......

The general's wife and Xu Ling'er stopped to watch, only to see Lu Yunlong as he was a pass, invincible, waving this sword, and beheading dozens of rebels in a row......

"It's a good sword! Kill all the rebels and thieves in the world! ”

At this time, several shogunate ministers came and took Xu Ling'er and the general's wife away, and just as Lu Yunlong was about to evacuate, the red-eyed Matsunaga Xiu shouted loudly: "Musketeer, shoot!" ”

So, a platoon of musketeers rushed forward and pointed their guns at Lu Yunlong......

Lu Yunlong knew that there was no way out, and said to the sky: "The sky is above!" Yunlong hates the world's rebels and thieves the most! I am afraid that I will never be able to serve the country again in the future, may God bless my China, bless my father, my mother, bless my wife and children, bless my compatriots, and all return to my homeland safely......"

After thinking about it, Lu Yunlong closed his eyes, and the sword slashed through his neck, splashing a stream of blood, and scattering it on the land of "Luoyang, Kyoto......
