Chen Wuguan and the others returned to the castle for reinforcements, and not long after they left the village, suddenly, a group of people rushed to their approach in the blink of an eye, and the leader was Takeda Katsuyori.

Finding out that they were not monks, Chen Wuguan couldn't figure out where the other party was coming from, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, when he heard Takeda Katsuyori ask, "Which one is Lin Yiguan?" Come on! ”

"Who's coming? So rude! As soon as Chen Wuguan heard that the comer was not good, he retreated a few steps back and prepared for battle.

"Kill me!"

With Takeda Katsuyori's order, these jackal-like warriors rushed into Chen Wuguan's team like a whirlwind......

At this time, Chen Wuguan was still judging who they were, and in the blink of an eye, Takeda Katsuyori swung his scimitar in front of him, killing him by surprise, and in less than three rounds, he was cut off the horse.

Although the main general was killed, the soldiers of Akimeura did not flinch, and in order to protect their homeland, they launched a fierce battle with the Takeda army, and almost all of them were killed.

The Takeda army also suffered heavy losses in this vicious battle, regrouped its troops and horses, brought more than fifty people, and now there were about a dozen left, so they rushed to the castle like crazy......

At this moment, the Akimeura Castle is full of flames, and there is no strength to resist.

Outside the big iron gate of the vault, the Wind Chasing Mage and the others were forcing Li Siguan to open the door, and Li Siguan was delaying time under the pretext that the key was in Lin Yiguan's hands.

At this time, Iwasari Youtong ran over with a sledgehammer and shouted, "Get out of the way for me, let me smash it open!" ”

Miyoshi Changyi laughed loudly: "God help me!" This wealth will help me achieve great things! ”

The three of them started together, and they came up and smashed wildly, and several large iron chains fell to the ground, Iwashi Youtong pushed open the iron door, and Miyoshi Changyi and Miyoshi Masaysu also followed, and they found that there was actually another one inside.

So, the gang smashed open two iron doors in succession, and then entered the vault, which was not small, and the only thing that could be of value was two wooden chests, except for some planks, sacks, and scraps of paper.

Yan Chengyou roared angrily, and suddenly found that Li Siguan, who was in charge of guarding the treasury, was missing, so he and Miyoshi Masaka searched everywhere with knives, and finally caught a soldier guarding the treasury, and he hurriedly asked: "Where is your gold and silver treasure?" ”

"Spare your life!" The soldier explained: "We don't know, usually, this warehouse has never opened the door, and no one knows what is inside, if it is empty, it must have been transferred by Lin Yiguan." ”

The enraged Miyoshi Masayasu killed the soldier with a single sword.

The entire castle had been turned upside down by the three of them, and they almost dug three feet into the ground, and finally found this vault, but it was still empty.

At this moment, Miyoshi Changyi was checking the contents of the wooden box, looked at the objects inside, and suddenly let out a wild laugh and sighed: "God help me!" It's enough to have these two boxes of stuff. With that, he put all the objects into a cloth bag.

After all, this trip was not in vain, Miyoshi Changyi guessed that it might be that Lin Yiguan was afraid that these things would become moldy if they were hidden elsewhere, so he didn't transport them away, so he walked out of the vault with his pockets on his back, only to find that Miyoshi Masayasu and Iwanari Youtong were sighing.

At this time, someone came to report to the three of Miyoshi, a group of reinforcements came from outside the castle, and Iwanari Yudo immediately prepared to go out to meet him, but was stopped by Miyoshi Nagayi, pointing to the cloth bag next to him and saying, "These good things are not something that can be bought with gold, silver and jewelry, but they are rare things for Ashikaga Yoshiteru, we can go,"

After making such a lot of effort, but not finding any gold, silver and jewelry, the angry Iwanari Tomoto gave Chaifeng a slap in the face and scolded: "Bastard! If there is anything in the future, come to us again when you inquire clearly. ”

Chasing Feng touched his face, felt a burst of heat, and said with a smile: "Lord Tax, there must be gold, silver and jewelry, either buried in the ground, or transferred by them, when I find out the whereabouts of Lin Yiguan, those wealth are still ours." ”

So, the three of them gathered a team to prepare to evacuate, counted the number of people, and there were only about a dozen people left in the team of nearly 100 people.

Taking advantage of the fact that Akimeura's reinforcements had not arrived, the three of Miyoshi came to the gate of the castle in a panic, and met Takeda Katsuyori and others head-on, blocking their way.

Takeda Katsuyori waved the saber in his hand and asked loudly, "Which one is Lin Yiguan?" Come and die! ”

After listening to Takeda Katsuyori's questioning, Miyoshi Nagayi knew that they were not reinforcements from Akimeura, so he hurriedly waved his hand behind him, and everyone stopped.

Chasing the wind didn't expect it to be Takeda Katsuyori, so he was taken aback and asked pretendedly: "I am the master of Honganji Temple, and I have come to crusade against these unscrupulous followers of the Zong Sect under the order of the Monk Masa, who are you?" ”

As soon as Takeda Katsuyori heard that this was a person sent by his uncle-in-law, with the help of a torch, he recognized the monk who had received him, and immediately stopped the procession, and in an instant, the ranks were neat and orderly, like a forest of trees.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that my uncle-in-law is like a 'wind forest volcano', and we are still late. Wind Chasing Mage, have you ever caught Lin Yiguan? Did you find any treasures that belonged to Ishiyama Honganji? Katsuyori Takeda asked.

"I really didn't expect it to be Katsuyori-sama, it's really admirable! Katsuyori-sama has just left Honganji Temple and returned to Kai Province, which is thousands of miles away from Kai Province, and in one day he arrived in Akimeura, and the 'Wind Forest Volcano' really lives up to its name! After saying some beautiful words, Chasing Feng sighed: "It's really a pity, I didn't expect Lin Yiguan to be extremely cunning, those gold and silver treasures are hidden by him somewhere, this is an empty city." ”

Takeda Katsuyori couldn't believe it, and hurriedly asked, "So, don't you get anything?" ”

"It's true that nothing has been found, we have to go back to Honganji Temple now, and when we catch Lin Yiguan, everything will be clear." Chasing Wind replied.

"Are you going to leave now?" Katsuyori Takeda asked.

"Yes, after I go back, please ask the Monk Zhengfa King to lay a net and arrest Lin Yiguan."

Seeing that they were really leaving, Takeda Katsuyori immediately issued an order, and the soldiers under his command instantly lined up on both sides and gave way to a road, their formation was like the solidity of a mountain, and their eyes were staring at Chaifeng and the others.

Seeing them leave "empty-handed", Katsuyori no longer doubted, and when they left, he rushed into the castle and harassed them, and finally returned with a feather.

Takeda Katsuyori and the others came out of the castle, the sky was already white, and they met a group of people and horses, and the two sides were just about to fight, Katsuyori recognized the origin of the other party, which turned out to be sent by his uncle-in-law Asakura Yoshikei.

At this time, the retainers of the Asakura clan also recognized Takeda Katsuyori, and the two sides stopped fighting, and just as they shook hands and talked, thousands of samurai sent by the Shimazu family came over in an overwhelming manner.

Since this was on the territory of the Shimazu family, they did not dare to fight, but fortunately, Asakura Yoshikei prepared a large ship at sea, so they panicked and avoided the pursuit of the Shimazu army and fled from the sea.

The three of Miyoshi fled to Chikuzen Pier overnight, tossed for a night, and were all tired and exhausted, so they found an inn to live in, and prepared to cross the sea to Nagato after dawn.

Lying on the tatami mat, Miyoshi Changyi put the bag of treasures by his side, cared for it with his hands at any time, and never dared to close his eyes until the sky was bright, so he relaxed his vigilance and closed his eyes in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, Miyoshi Changyi suddenly turned over, touched all the time on the tatami mat, but didn't touch anything, and suddenly woke up and shouted "There is a thief".

The Wind Chasing Mage ran in and asked, "Lord Hyuga-sama, where are the thieves?" ”

So, Miyoshi Masaysu and Iwanari Yutong and others rushed out of the guest room, and began to search inside and outside the inn, at this time, the sky was just bright, everything was silent, and the morning fog was everywhere, where could I see a figure?

Miyoshi Changyi roared angrily, stomped his feet and scolded, "Damn thief! This is all caused by the ignorant boy Ashikaga Yoshiteru, as a shogun, he does not have the character of a 'man of the world', causing 'chaos in the world' and thieves everywhere. Yihui Xiaoer, I originally wanted you to die with some dignity, but unfortunately, you didn't have this blessing. Let's go, and within three months, I'll take the head of that Yihui child. ”

On the fourth watch, bursts of cries rang out in the village of Akimoura, the sound became louder and louder, the women's grief was hoarse, and the children's howls were earth-shattering.

Lu Yunlong, Wen Tao and Xu Ling'er didn't know what was going on outside, so they came to the courtyard together, and suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Wen Tao asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”

A mournful voice shouted: "Brother Liuguan, it's over, it's all over......"

"Is it the fourth brother? What's going on out there? ”

"Sixth brother, two groups of people suddenly came last night, one from Honganji and the other from the Takeda family, and then a lot of people came, and I don't know where they came from, they killed all our brothers, burned down the castle, and I finally escaped back to the village."

At this time, it was drizzling in the sky, Wen Tao opened the door, and saw Li Siguan kneeling on the ground, with a short knife in his abdomen, and a pool of blood underground, washed into a river of blood by the rain......

"Sixth brother, the general trend has gone, I have 'no shame to see Jiangdong's fathers', I hope you can treat the elderly, women and children in the village well, and if you can go back to your hometown, let them go back."

Wen Tao, who was in tears, squatted down and hugged Li Siguan, crying: "Fourth brother, let's go!" I listen to you, don't worry. ”

Li Siguan glared, stretched out his hand forward, as if to grasp something, used his last bit of strength, and said intermittently: "One man's ambition has killed a group of lost lambs......"

Lu Yunlong and Wen Tao had just carried Li Siguan into the courtyard, and at this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro had already driven away Takeda Katsuyori and others and came to Akimeura Village.

With tears in his eyes, Fumihiro said, "Yoshihiro-sama, you're late, Ishiyama Honganji Temple and Takeda Shingen have already sacked the castle, most of our soldiers have died in battle, and all the gold and silver treasures have been plundered by them, and now, please Yoshihiro-sama be kind to these poor villagers." ”

Shimazu Yoshihiro laughed loudly, pointed a knife at Wen Tao and said, "You are still lying! The men who entered the castle last night didn't get anything, it was an empty city, and it was said that all the gold and silver treasures had been hidden by you. ”

As the rain began to fall heavier, the sky began to turn white, and the shrubs in the courtyard sprouted green shoots, and the stamens of the cherry trees were fluttering and hanging on the branches.

Wen Tao ignored Shimazu Yoshihiro, put on his robe, found a shovel, and went to a cherry tree and began to dig hard.

"What are you going to do?" Yoshihiro Shimazu asked.

Wen Tao replied without raising his head: "Dig out my gold and silver treasures." ”

Seeing this, Lu Yunlong also picked up a hoe and dug it up, Xu Ling'er also came over to help, the three of them dug for more than an hour, Wen Tao sat on the ground with his buttocks, sweating profusely, and almost collapsed.

Pointing to the big pit underground, Wen Tao said intermittently: "Lord Lu, here, about, there are three or four thousand taels of silver, as well as some gold leaves and ingots, which are all my property, take them and distribute them to the people of Qiumepu, they can leave if they want to go, and if they want to stay, they can stay." ”

Lu Yunlong's face couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and nodded heavily.

The words that Wen Tao just said were translated to Shimazu Yoshihiro through Xu Ling'er; Shimazu Yoshihiro jumped into the pit and looked at it, crawling out with a covered body of mud, he couldn't believe it, and questioned: "Impossible, you can't just have such a fortune!" ”

"What else is there to hide from the dying man." Wen Tao replied seriously.

"So, where are the treasures that Yan Shifan transported?" Yoshihiro Shimazu asked.

"If it wasn't in the vault in the castle, it must have been carried away by my brother, and no one would know about it except him." Wen Tao replied.

Shimazu Yoshihiro was still not reconciled, leaving a few samurai to spy on Wen Tao and the others, and the rest of the people all followed him back to the castle, perhaps inspired by him, he decided to dig the castle three feet into the ground.

For the next half a month, Lin Wentao, Lu Yunlong, Xu Ling'er and others were imprisoned in Akimepo, and under the surveillance of the Satsuma samurai, Wentao's property was distributed to the villagers, and the bereavement was given to the families of the fallen soldiers, and they were interviewed from house to house, persuading them to return to their hometowns as soon as possible until all the gold and silver were gone.

These days, the radius of Akimeura has been almost turned upside down by Shimazu Yoshihiro and others, and the whereabouts of the treasure have still not been found.

It rained for several days, and the cold rain knocked down the cherry blossoms that had just bloomed......

In the bitter wind and rain of Akimeura, the people did not dare to stay for long, most of them returned to their hometowns on merchant ships, and some fled to Iki Island. Only Wen Tao, Lu Yunlong, Xu Ling'er and Ah Ping are still under the care of Shimazu Yoshihiro in that courtyard......
