Everyone returned to Guishan City and found an inn to live in, Shimazu Yoshihiro wanted to take Lin Liuguan away, but was stopped by Guo Guoqiang.

"Why are you sheltering this pirate?" Yoshihiro Shimazu asked.

Guo Guoqiang hurriedly bowed down and persuaded: "Lord Yoshihiro, just leave him here, you see, he has lost too much blood now, and the knife wound on his back is inflamed, if you continue to torture him, I'm afraid he won't survive tomorrow." ”

Yoshihiro Shimazu glared at him and asked, "What if he runs away?" ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Yoshihiro, I will vouch for him, if he runs away, please ask me." Guo Guoqiang replied.

In Japan at that time, no matter how big a merchant was, it was even more difficult to become a samurai than to ascend to the sky!

Because Shimazu Yoshihiro had promised Guo Guoqiang to let him go to Satsuma to become a samurai, I believe that this Sakai businessman would not dare to joke with his future.

Seeing that Lin Liuguan was sick like this, Shimazu Yoshihiro had no choice but to reply: "Okay, if you run away from Lin Liuguan, I'll ask you." ”

Guo Guoqiang said: "Lord Yoshihiro, as the saying goes, it is the best policy to surrender without a fight, please go back and report to the family governor, while Lin Yiguan is not in Qiumupu, if you can use Lin Liuguan to persuade the pirates of Qiumupu to surrender and recapture the treasures seized by the pirates, except for some gold and silver distributed to you, the rest of the property should be returned to the Ming court, so as to be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's favor to you." ”

"The two Chincha lords stayed at Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and they didn't say how much gold and silver they could give us, and what should we do now?" Yoshihiro Shimazu asked.

At this time, Xu Ling'er translated their conversation to Lu Yunlong.

Lu Yunlong smiled slightly, and said: "Tell him that the gold and silver will be divided into one percent, and we must take the rest of the property." ”

Xu Linger relayed it to Shimazu Yoshihiro, but he was furious, but he didn't dare to provoke Lu Yunlong easily, and Xu Linger's father was his father's savior, so he was full of anger on Guo Guoqiang's head.

So, Shimazu Yoshihiro roared at Guo Guoqiang and asked loudly: "When am I a fool?" Do you still want to be a samurai? It's really annoying me, I, I'm going to kill you right now! ”

Xu Ling'er said politely: "Lord Yoshihiro, don't forget the grace of His Majesty the Ming Emperor to the Shimazu family, and when the Ming Dynasty lifts the sea ban in the future, the tributary trade will inevitably treat your Shimazu family first. ”

After hearing these words, Shimazu Yoshihiro's mood calmed down.

Guo Guoqiang struck with hot iron, and then said: "Lord Yoshihiro, have you forgotten the past of the 'Battle for Tribute'? Back then, how much trouble did Japan's left and right Jing Zhaoyin cause in order to compete for the qualification of tribute? As a result, the Ming court closed the maritime trade with Japan; Now, the Ming coastal has been settled, the reopening of the customs is just around the corner, and the Ming Dynasty to do trade, Satsuma is blessed, Tsufang Town can be directly connected to Ningbo Port, in today's Japan, the shogun's power is falling, the princes around the country, if the Shimazu family can get the grace of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, take the opportunity to monopolize the tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, will be rich on the one side, who in the world can compete with the Shimazu clan? Please Yoshihiro-sama don't lose a big one because of a small one. ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro woke up like a dream, no longer arguing about how much silver to share, and dragged Guo Guoqiang to speak: "You, come with me, tell my brother about these big things, I'm afraid I can't express myself clearly." ”

Guo Guoqiang smiled slightly and asked, "You take me away, aren't you afraid that Lin Liuguan will run away?" ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro looked at Lin Liuguan lying on the tatami mat and said with a smile: "Look at him now, even if he is allowed to escape, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape, so you can go with me." ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro left the inn with Guo Guoqiang, Lin Wenjing began to apply medicine to the wounds of the six senses, Xu Linger touched his forehead, and suddenly became nervous.

"How is he now?" Lu Yunlong asked.

Xu Ling'er, who looked serious, shook her head and replied: "The inflammation of the trauma will soon heal, you see that his forehead is hot now, sweating profusely, and trembling all over, this is an internal cold, and he must be treated quickly, if only my father was here." ”

As she spoke, she took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, opened the prescription, and said: "Wen Jing, hurry up and grab some medicine, it's really strange that I only knew how to read all day before, and I didn't learn art from my father, alas, try to take these few doses of decoction first." ”

So, Wen Jing took the prescription and went out to grab the medicine.

Lin Liuguan opened his red eyes, his lips were full of blood blisters, and he said in a weak voice: "When I was a child, my mother and I were in our hometown in Guangdong, so poor that we couldn't afford to wear clothes or eat rice and noodles, and my brother followed my third uncle to Nanyang to do business, and later, they moved to Ryukyu Shuri together, so I asked my fellow villagers to take me and my mother over, and I was only six years old that year. ”

"Later, under the bewitchment of Rowan Long, our family went from Ryukyu to Japan, and only one of my uncle stayed in Shuri Castle, and after arriving in Satsuma, my brother could not resist the temptation of wealth and power, and he did not listen to the dissuasion of the third uncle, and built a castle in Akimeura, and became a pirate leader, so the third uncle went to Sakai Town alone to do business. My mother was also very sad, took me to the third uncle, she was afraid of my brother every day, and soon became seriously ill, when she was dying, my mother said to me, you are still young, maybe one day you will also be a pirate, child, you have to remember the words of the mother, if there is such a day, the mother will go to the underworld to ask Mazu Bodhisattva to rescue you, and when you see Mazu Bodhisattva, that is, my mother sees you coming......"

Speaking of this, Wen Tao was already silent, at this time, Xu Ling'er poured him a cup of hot water, and Lu Yunlong helped him up and gave him a drink.

Lin Liuguan's tears spilled into the bowl, he gasped for a few breaths, and then said: "After my mother died, my uncle was very kind to me, teaching me to be a man and teach me to do business, but I still didn't stand the temptation of money and power, I thought it was too slow to make money with him, when I was fourteen years old, I went to Akimeura, although I was the sixth, but I was the de facto second-in-command, with my own power, I also wanted to marry Luo Amin in the future, and I would do a proper business, but Luo Amin followed my brother, until, until on the way to Honganji, I, I saw Mazu Bodhisattva, and she rode past me......"

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Xu Ling'er, and Xu Ling'er's face suddenly turned red.

"The Bodhisattva has finally appeared, and I know that my mother has begged Mazu Bodhisattva for me in the underworld." After that, Lin Liuguan fell on the tatami mat again.

Lu Yunlong sighed and asked, "Liuguan, what is your real name?" ”

"Wen Tao."

"I can forgive your sins, how about you join the Jinyi Guard?"

"Thank you for your kindness! No, no, my brother also has the waist card of Jinyiwei, and joining Jinyiwei does not mean that he is a good person, and now, I have promised to become a monk in Honganji Temple, and follow the Bodhisattva in my heart in this life, and there are people with good intentions in Akimeura, and when they return to China, I hope that the imperial court will not kill them again. ”

Lu Yunlong's eyes were also a little moist, and he nodded seriously and said: "It's rare that you have such a kind heart, when I go back, I will definitely show the court and treat those who know their mistakes and can change them." ”

At this time, Wen Jing grabbed the herbs, and Xu Ling'er went to the inn to help decoct the herbs.

"Wen Jing, how old are you?" Lu Yunlong asked.

"Fourteen."

"Hehe, do you know, when your sister Ling'er was eight years old, she burned the pirates' Hachiman Bodhisattva ship in the Zhoushan Islands to force them to obey the government's placement.

The delicate-looking Wen Jing showed a blank face, opened her mouth, but did not answer.

Lu Yunlong felt that the child was still a little tender, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Wen Jing, you go to Omijiang alone and bring Uncle Xu and the Zhu family's father and son to Satsuma, okay?" ”

Wen Jing was still speechless, and looked at Lu Yunlong stupidly.

At this time, the sixth official Wen Tao said: "Wen Jing, when I was as old as you, I had already led a team of dozens of people to patrol, although this is not a glorious thing, good men have to take some responsibility, now this adult has given you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and in the future, you will return to Daming, so that this adult can ask for merit for you." ”

Wen Jing shook her head and replied, "I don't dare to go anywhere again, I just want to be with you now." ”

Wen Tao sighed and said helplessly: "It's true that everyone has their own lives, Wen Jing, I see that you have a cowardly personality and a person who can't withstand temptation, you should take me as a warning." ”

After that, Wen Tao staggered down the tatami mat, moved his muscles and bones, poured himself a cup of hot water and drank it all, seemed to have a little spirit, and couldn't wait to speak: "I can't wait, while my brother is away, I will persuade everyone to accept Zhao'an and return Yan Shifan's stolen money to the imperial court, and it can't fall into the hands of the Japanese, so we must return to Qiumepo today." ”

Lu Yunlong was worried that he would not be able to stand steadily, so he helped him to the tatami mat and comforted: "Wen Tao, you should take care of your illness first, and then go when you are well." ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er brought the decoction of the medicine, he took two doses of the decoction, and fell asleep.

About two hours later, Wen Tao opened his eyes, felt a lot clearer, and found that they were still guarding himself, and his heart was very moved, quite regrettably, until now he didn't know who the surname of this big man was, so he got off the tatami mat again, bowed to Lu Yunlong, and asked, "May I ask this adult's surname?" ”

"Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division's Zhenfu Lu Yunlong."

"Lord Lu is above, and the sinner Lin Wentao worships."

"Don't mention your guilt again, how do you feel now?" As he spoke, Lu Yunlong wanted to help him onto the tatami mat again.

Wen Tao smiled and waved his hand, and replied, "I'm fine, while it's still dark, I'll go to Akimeura immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Although Lu Yunlong repeatedly dissuaded him, Wen Tao insisted on leaving, so Xu Linger went to Guo Guoqiang to discuss.

At this time, after being recommended by Shimazu Yoshihiro, also in order to save face for Qincha, Shimazu Yoshihisa had already promised Guo Guoqiang that he would become a samurai when he had made military achievements.

In order to fight with the Hyuga country Ito family, the Shimazu brothers temporarily could not take care of Akimeura, after Guo Guoqiang asked the family governor Shimazu Yoshihisa for instructions, he saw that Xu Ling'er was the daughter of his benefactor, so he did not embarrass them anymore, agreed that Lin Liuguan and others would go back to save people first, and asked to leave Lin Wenjing in Guishan City as a hostage, and send Guo Guoqiang to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions.
