In the era of King Shogen of the Ryukyus, the prince was trusted and reused, in order to support the eldest son of the concubine Shang Kangbo to succeed to the throne, the family of Queen Ma was extremely suppressed, after the death of King Motose Chitose, because of the dispute over the succession, he and Queen Ma started a battle, and finally the son of Queen Ma King Shang Yong ascended the throne, and the power of the Ryukyus fell into the hands of the Ma family. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

As one of the four major scholar clans in Shuri, the power of the Ma family is not small, just because Ma Liangbi has been in the opposition for many years, he has not been able to cultivate a dead party in the officialdom, although he is now the minister of state, in fact, there is no one available under him.

At that time, the prince relied on the financial support of the shochu shop to secretly bribe officials large and small, from the wilderness of the rivers and lakes to the height of the temple, there were his eyes and ears everywhere, and because of this, he resolutely did not let the children of the Lin family step into the Ryukyus.

Back then, when Wang Chong and Guo Yi came to arrest "Lin Yiguan", Ma Liangbi was still a flat-headed commoner, and the reason why he deliberately let Lin Feng go was to wait for him to come back, in the name of catching pirates, seize this "cash cow", and take the opportunity to completely kill Wang Gonggong; And now, his nephew has inherited the throne and is in the midst of great power, which is no longer what it used to be.

Because Lin Feng did not return to Ryukyu, Ma Liangbi's Y plan could not be carried out, but he found another way, trying to use the relationship between his son and the concubine Niangniang to take all the "eyes and ears" of the prince into his own possession, so he tried his best to win over the stirrup and saddle brothers, and as soon as the prince died, he sent the two brothers to raid the Lin family's shochu shop.

Now, Ma Liangbi believes that his biggest mistake is the wrong use of stirrups and saddle brothers, and he trusts Concubine Niangniang too much, so that the handle falls into the hands of Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er......

However, Ma Liangbi got the coveted generalissimo letter of appointment, recognized the manufacturable material Zhang Fan as a righteous son, and immediately began to attack the Ma brothers, summoning them several times in a row, but the two brothers didn't seem to be fooled, and when they were trying to find excuses, they sent them to the door.

Hearing that the stirrups were coming, Ma Liangbi sat up and immediately asked the servants to call them in.

For the time being, let President Konishi wait in the living room, and the terrup who was sincerely frightened just entered the study, only to hear Ma Liangbi, who was full of anger, scolded: "Please can't come, your shelf is really not small, why are you free to come today?" ”

The stirrup hurriedly bowed down and replied in a low voice, "Lord Qiyu, Mr. Konishi Yukicho is here to visit." ”

Ma Liangbi knew that his precious son was hunting for treasure with this Mr. Konishi, and he was immediately furious, got up and slapped the stirrup twice, and scolded: "Damn it, what are you bringing him here for?" ”

"Lord Keiki Aikoku, this Mr. Konishi is not a retainer of Matsuura Takanobu of the Hirado Domain, but, but, ......"

"And what, Ben Shuai doesn't care who he is, let him get out immediately!"

So, the stirrup took a step forward and whispered: "Lord Xiangguo, don't hide it, Guo Qianhu once arranged to kill Konishi Yukicho and others, but when we were about to start, we suddenly heard that they were ......."

I remember that when he was imprisoned in the Lin family's soju shop, Guo Yi went out late at night to find the Ma brothers and asked them to kill the ronin who assisted Ma Feng in the treasure hunt, at that time, Ma Liangbi didn't care too much, anyway, his son took away the treasure map, and killed these liar ronins, but now it seems that this matter is not so simple.

"Who the hell are they? Say it! Ma Liangbi asked angrily.

Only then did the stirrup reply: "It turns out that they are the subordinates of Oda Nobunaga, the Minister of the Guards, and they were specially sent to monitor Guo Qianhu and others. ”

"Bastard, in that case, what are you still bringing him into the Prime Minister's Mansion for?" At this moment, Ma Liangbi's anger reached the extreme.

"Please calm your anger, General Guo sent us to assassinate Governor Konishi, and they found out because of their lack of secrecy, so Mr. Konishi was very annoyed and decided to ask Lord Xiangguo to come forward and strictly restrain those two girls." The stirrup replied.

When he was in the Lin family's shochu shop, Ma Liangbi remembered that Xu Linger had said that Konishi Yukinaga and others were the retainers of the generals under Oda Nobunaga and were planning to murder Oda Nobunaga.

Considering that Guo Yi and others have the support of Oda Nobunaga and have inherited the mantle of the prince, therefore, the behavior of the Ma brothers is extremely suspicious, could it be that they want to borrow a knife to kill people?

In the face of layers of fog, everything is plausible, and now the net has been laid out, but he doesn't know it, and unconsciously, Ma Liangbi broke out in a cold sweat......

"Sangkoku-sama, sanguk-sama." The stirrup shouted twice, and found that he looked like he was out of his mind, and asked directly: "Mr. Konishi is waiting in the living room, do you want to ......?"

At this time, Ma Liangbi, who was furious, stood up, slapped him twice, and scolded: "Bastard thing, the old man came to ask you, did you transport two coffins from Taiwan?" ”

It's a script that's already ready, and even if he doesn't ask, the stirrups will bring it up.

At this time, finding that Ma Liangbi, who was embarrassed and angry, had almost lost his rationality, the stirrup immediately knelt on the ground and replied quite aggrievedly: "Could it be that this is not the task you arranged through the prince?" ”

Ma Liangbi's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked puzzledly, "When did Ben Shuai find you through the prince?" ”

"Our brothers spent so much effort and spent a lot of money to choose a feng shui treasure, and the dojo alone was held for several days, isn't it just for our Ma ancestors?"

At this moment, Ma Liangbi was almost fainted by anger, raised his leg is kick, and scolded: "Bastard, how does the old man know who is in the coffin?" This matter has nothing to do with the Ma family, let me tell you, hurry up and level this tomb for me, and then sprinkle the blood of the black dog to suppress the evil spirit. I said why are you so unlucky recently, it turns out that it is all your brothers who are making trouble, get out quickly, if you know each other, you two brothers will resign tomorrow, roll out of the Ryukyus, roll as far as you can, and let the old man see you, you will have to divide the corpse. ”

It seems that Ma Liangbi is about to be mad, but the stirrup is still not impatient, bowed his head and replied: "Thank you for the grace of Xiangye, when our brothers have done a few things, we will never come back." However, as a junior of the family, I persuaded the prime minister that Mr. Konishi Yukicho could not be offended. ”

Ma Liangbi suddenly remembered one thing, Su Ba arranged for President Konishi and others to secretly contact Ma Feng in the name of treasure hunting, in fact, it was to monitor himself, although he had never seen Su Ba, I believe that this person must also be Guo Yi's subordinate, so everything is logical: in order to make room for Guo Yi and others, let them let go of their hands and feet, unscrupulously "clean up" themselves, and force themselves to accept the control of Guo Yi and others, so they deceived President Konishi and others, who were in charge of monitoring everyone, so it seems that Su Ba is the worst!

After blowing away the stirrup, Ma Liangbi rested for a while, and decided to summon Konishi Yukicho immediately to see what he wanted to do?

At this moment, President Konishi didn't know what had happened, and this time he came mainly to find out the bottom of it, so as to give Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er specific tasks, and at the same time, he also wanted to know, why did Ma Liangbi have to go on an expedition to Luzon?

Yukicho Konishi was led into the study and said reservedly: "From the retainer Konishi Yukicho, a minister of the second rank of Konoe, Lord Oda, to meet Soma-sama of the Ryukyu Kingdom!" As he spoke, he bowed his head and bowed deeply.

"No rudeness!" Ma Liangbi sat on the Taishi's chair and did not move at all.

"May I ask Lord Xiangguo, why do you want to recruit a large army to go on an expedition to Luzon?" Yukinaga Konishi asked straight to the point.

Ma Liangbi thought to himself, you are too lenient, right? But he still replied disapprerovingly: "The South Sea to the East Ocean is thousands of miles away, and there are many thieves in the vast sea, and they are always facing the investigation of the Ming army. ”

Konishi Yukichang nodded, confirming the collusion between Oda Nobunaga and Ma Liangbi, not chasing the wind and shadows, secretly admiring Hideyoshi is really very clever, if you don't get rid of this Ryukyu magnate and let "Oda Shini" control the Ryukyu court, in the future, when "the world is clothed", Hideyoshi wants to be the general of the expeditionary force to borrow the Ryukyus, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky!

Thinking of this, Governor Konishi smiled slightly and praised: "Lord Xiangguo, when I go back next, I will definitely show you merit in front of Lord Oda." ”

This innocuous sentence made Ma Liangbi quite disdainful, and he was also very disgusted with these sneaky ronins, and wanted to take the opportunity to let Konishi Yukichang destroy Guo Yi and others, but he couldn't say it directly, so he pretended to be very angry and asked: "Since you chose to cooperate with the old man, why did you send those two women to make trouble?" ”

Hearing this, Governor Konishi panicked, and hurriedly waved his hands and replied, "Lord Xiangguo has misunderstood, we have no intention of doing so." ”

Ma Liangbi, who did not know what was going on, said reservedly: "I warn you to remove those two women as soon as possible, otherwise, the cooperation with Nobunaga will end here." ”

"Good, good! We told Lord Oda to evacuate them quickly. Konishi replied with a sincere fear.

"And what are you doing here?" Finding that this kid didn't understand what he meant, Ma Liangbi slapped the table and shouted: "The old man doesn't want to see those two women again for a day, understand?" ”

At this moment, finding that President Konishi was stammering when asked, Ma Liangbi felt that this kid was not in tune at all, so he shouted, "Send off!" ”

Seeing that the gruntled Konishi Yukicho walked out, the stirrup could imagine what treatment he had just received, so he quickly pulled him away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When he arrived at a secluded place, the stirrup complained: "I won't let you come, you have to come, what do you catch?" ”

"It's a big gain, at least it proves that Nobunaga and Ma Liangbi have cooperated." The frightened Konishi Yukicho replied.

"So what? Can you still stop Nobunaga? Stirrups asked rhetorically.

"If you can't stop Nobunaga, you have to kill Ma Liangbi." Governor Konishi replied viciously.

"Who are you? Run to our Ryukyu to assassinate the high-ranking officials, and see that Lao Tzu will take you down now. The stirrup said, and immediately flashed his sword.

The reckless Konishi Yukicho was dumbfounded for a moment and took on a posture of dueling with the stirrups......

The two sides confronted each other for a moment, and the stirrup smiled and put away his sword, pointing and scolding: "You widows, you are really a tendon, you only think about your own little things in your heart, and tell you the truth, if I am more serious with you, I will kill you now." ”

"Then why didn't you kill me?" Governor Konishi asked in a daze.

The stirrup patted him on the shoulder and said, "Because I am Miss Shinyi's person, you understand now?" ”

"In that case, why did you let me go to see Ma Liangbi, what kind of heart do you have? Aren't you afraid of exposing Lord Yushiba Chikuzen? Konishi Yukicho threatened: "If anything happens, we will immediately send troops to raze Akimeura." ”

"Your Excellency Konishi, you are making a fuss about seeing Ma Liangbi yourself, right? Actually, we can understand your feelings, and I heard from Miss Yi that Ling Zun is currently in Luzon to contact Lin Feng. To tell you the truth, the Westerners may not be able to deal with pirates, and when our Ryukyu army arrives, we will definitely be able to take the head of the Kou Shou Lin Feng, I am afraid that Lord Ling Zun is more than lucky, as for Your Excellency's samurai dream, this is the end of it. If you can't get along in the future, you can come to me in Naha Port, just like that beggar Suhachi, and give you a way to live without any problems. ”

These words came from the mouth of Naha City's Boji, and Konishi Yukicho felt a little dazzled, it seems that Miss Shini really has no less work, but he didn't expect that the situation in the Ryukyus would be so complicated, which is an enemy and which is a friend, it is difficult to distinguish clearly, therefore, he regrets going to see Ma Liangbi very much, and he was humiliated and did not say anything, and he may even expose Hideyoshi's secret operations.

At this time, fearing that Ma Liangbi would immediately send an expeditionary force, Konishi Yukinaga asked, "Do you know when the army will leave for Luzon?" ”

"When he's going to go, how do we know? You idiot, since you went to see Ma Liangbi, why don't you ask in person? ”

Recalling what happened just now, President Konishi lowered his head in shame, suddenly remembered something, and then asked, "I heard Ma Liangbi say that Miss Nobuyi was also sent by Nobunaga, what is the reason for this?" Could it be that there is collusion between Miss Xinyi and Ma Liangbi? ”

"Isn't this all for Yu Chai to build a front guard, don't you even understand this?" Then, the stirrup soothed: "As for when Ma Liangbi will send a large army to conquer Luzon, please don't panic Mr. Konishi, in fact, Miss Xinyi has already had a way to deal with it." ”

"What can she do?" Konishi couldn't believe it.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Miss Xinyi."

The two came to a restaurant in Shuri Castle, where Guo Yi, Xu Ling'er and Zhang Fan were waiting in a private room.

Seeing that Governor Konishi came in, Guo Yi smiled and asked, "Your Excellency Konishi went to Hirado here, but did you find the treasure of the pirates?" ”

"The beggar Su Ba is a liar, he tried his best to trick us into going back to Pinghu on the pretext of helping Ma Feng Gongzi to hunt for treasures, and the next day, this bastard disappeared without a trace, causing us to look for him non-stop for several days, only to come back and find that Ma Gongzi was also gone, is this you making trouble behind your back?" Yukihiro Konishi asked rather angrily.

Guo Yi understood the purpose of their contact with Ma Feng, so he didn't answer his words, and then asked, "I heard that you saw Ma Liangbi go, what did you gain?" ”

"Yes, Ma Liangbi asked me to go back quickly and let Nobunaga get you away, he mistakenly thought that you were also sent by Nobunaga." Yukicho Konishi replied.

"Yes, in order to gain a chance for Yushiba Chikuzen Mamoru and to get the arquebus into your hands, I have to make this decision......"

Before Guo Yi finished speaking, Konishi Yukicho said angrily: "Enough, if you let Nobunaga know about your existence, you will definitely think that Yu Chai Chikuzen is guarding behind the back to make ghosts, and it has really come to this point, so that you will die without a place to be buried." ”

Finding that Governor Konishi was playing a scoundrel, Xu Ling'er asked, "So, did Ma Liangbi tell you that he was about to send a large army to conquer Luzon?" ”

"You should know that the conquest of Luzon is precisely to capture Lin Feng, a friend of Yuchai Zhuqianshou." Considering that Konishi Lonzo was in Luzon at this time and did not know when to leave, Governor Konishi was very worried and asked anxiously, "Do you have a way to stop this operation?" ”

Guo Yi nodded seriously and replied decisively: "We have our own way." ”

"How to deal with it?" Konishi was curious.

At this time, Zhang Fan stood up and replied with a smile: "The pioneer officer of the front part of the expedition is me!" ”

Yukicho Konishi's eyes widened suddenly: "It's unbelievable!" ”

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the military field to see me." Zhang Fan nodded and replied.

Governor Konishi said viciously: "Because of your cooperation with Ma Liangbi, it is very likely that you will expose Yushiba Chikuzen, so you must kill him as soon as possible, lest he write a letter to Nobunaga and give you a deadline, if you fail to complete this task before the Double Ninth Festival, you will be left dead on the streets." ”
