21, God blesses the soul
The living room was brightly lit, and suddenly saw the angry Shimazu Yoshihisa coming back, Liu Erguan hurriedly got up and asked, "Lord Yoshihisa, have you ever confessed?" ”
Shimazu Yoshihisa said angrily: "The Ming Dynasty is really hateful! I've cut off the spy head. ”
"What? You cut off the head of a spy? Yoshihisa-sama, you are so reckless, the spy is not alone, they still have a group of people, they could have used this captured spy as bait to catch them all, but this is good, you actually killed him! ”
"Kill, kill, what do you want?"
In the face of the unreasonable Shimazu Yoshihisa, Liu Erguan did not have a temper, pondered for a moment, and said: "Lord Yoshihisa, it is not too late to make amends. As soon as the morning dawns, you will hang the head of this spy outside the outer city gate with a high pole, the more eye-catching the better, so that everyone can take a good look at the fate of being a spy! ”
"Okay, do as you say."
The next day, Britten's head was hung on the flagpole outside the city gate, and at this time, Wang Chong and others were still at a loss.
Due to the heavily guarded castle in Akimeura, there was no way to go to find out the news, let alone attack the castle.
The glow pierced through the haze of morning mist, the raging sea breeze brought chills, and the waves crashed endlessly against a large reef, on which sat Wang Chong and Guo Yi, who were snuggling up to each other.
Guo Yi rested his head on Wang Chong's shoulder, looking at the endless sea as far as the eye could see, and savoring the air mixed with the smell of the sea.
Xu Ling'er came back from inquiring about the news, and couldn't bear to disturb them, so she found a sheltered stone cliff to sit down and rest, and suddenly, she seemed to see Li Rusong, who was the champion of high school martial arts, was running towards her on a high-headed horse, and suddenly felt a little hot on her face......
After a while, Thunder and Gaidihu also came, woke up Xu Ling'er, and informed each other of the situation.
At this moment, the voice of the grass flying in the distance came: "There is news!" ”
Wang Chong and Guo Yi hurriedly stood up, only to see Xu Ling'er, Booming Thunder, Gaidihu, Caoshangfei and others all approaching.
"Have you ever found out about the whereabouts of Brother Briton?" Wang Chong hurriedly asked.
The panting grass wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied in a sad tone: "Brother Briton may have been killed!" ”
Everyone's eyes widened, and the thunder and the tiger stepped forward and grabbed the grass and flew.
Cao Shangfei hurriedly explained: "There are a few merchants in the village who have just returned from Kameyama City, they heard that the Daming Sailor is about to go on an expedition to Japan, and the spy sent by the first was caught by the Shimazu family. I'm not sure yet. ”
"How far is it from here to Kameyama Castle?" Wang Chong asked.
"Ride a fast horse for more than an hour." Ling'er replied.
"If it is really Briton's brother on the head of Kameyama Castle, then why did he fall into the hands of the Shimazu family? Why did the Shimazu family harm him? Who is it that rumors that the Great Ming Sailor is going to go on an expedition to Japan? Wang Chong seemed to be talking to himself.
"These Satsuma people have heads and brains, if it's really Brother Briton, I guess Shimazu Takahisa may have been fooled." Guo Yi replied.
Xu Ling'er agreed, and said: "Yes, the pirates of Akimeura are inseparable, and we will negotiate with the Shimazu family in the name of the imperial court to smash the piracy of the pirates." ”
Wang Chong asked, "How to negotiate in the name of the imperial court?" False proclamation of the Holy Decree is a crime of destruction. ”
"This is Japan, don't we represent the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Linger asked rhetorically.
Wang Chong immediately became serious and replied, "Ling'er, don't be presumptuous!" ”
Finding that Wang Chong was so rigid, Guo Yi was a little dissatisfied, and persuaded: "Chong'er, Miss Ling'er assisted the Qi family army to pacify Pinghaiwei and went to Jiangxi to arrest Luo Wenlong, made great merits, and was rewarded by the emperor, what if she has a token on behalf of the imperial court?" ”
This sentence reminded Xu Ling'er, and she immediately took out a jade pendant from her bosom and said: "This is a gift from the Holy God today. ”
Wang Chong took it and took a look, only to see that this piece of jade and yellow silk was framed, carved with a dragon, and the upper left was the seal of Emperor Jiajing, surrounded by sparkling gemstones.
So, holding this jade pendant in both hands, Wang Chong knelt on the ground and said seriously: "Wang Chong of the Thousand Households of the Flying Fish Camp obeys the holy order. ”
Xu Ling'er handed over the jade pendant to Wang Chong for safekeeping, and Guo Yi made a grimace at each other, and the two secretly had a good time.
Six horses galloped through the fields of Kagoshima, and in less than two hours, they arrived at Kameyama Castle, and looked at the flagpole outside the castle gate, and sure enough, the head of Briton was hanging.
Everyone's hearts were very sad, Xu Ling'er and Guo Yi hurriedly closed their eyes, the thunder and the tiger roared angrily, Wang Chong screamed miserably, and fell under the horse.
When Wang Chong got up from the ground, he saw that the grass had rushed to the flagpole and was crawling up......
Suddenly, a team of muskets rushed out of the city gates, and they all pointed their guns at the grass and flew up.
At this time, Cao Shangfei had already taken off Britton's head, and suddenly heard Xu Ling'er and Guo Yi shouting in unison: "Get down." ”
Before Grass Flying could react, a few gunshots rang out, and he fell in a pool of blood.
Wang Chong and the others came over and cut down the musketeers to the ground, so a large group of soldiers rushed out of the city gate and divided and surrounded the five of them.
"Ling'er, Guo Yi, you withdraw first, otherwise, none of you can escape." Wang Chong shouted loudly.
Thunder and Gaidi Tiger understood, the two of them fought together to get out of the encirclement and rescued Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, in front, Wang Chong fought his way out, and the three of them desperately covered the two of them to run out.
There were more and more soldiers killed in the city gate, and seeing that no one could escape, at this critical moment, two horses suddenly ran in the distance, and I heard Yajiro shout loudly: "Two living bodhisattvas, come and get on the horses." ”
Behind Yajiro was Lin Wenjing, no one expected that they would suddenly appear, Xu Linger and Guo Yi were surprised and delighted, and flew on the horses of the two of them.
In order to cover their escape, Wang Chong desperately resisted the attack of the Shimazu samurai, but the Thunderbolt and the Gaidi Tiger were finally outnumbered and captured.
At this time, Wang Chong also reached the limit, saw the opportunity, seized a war horse, escaped the pursuit of the Shimazu samurai, and disappeared into a hilly area.
Thunder and Gaidi Tiger were tied up and taken to Guishan City.
Master Tongtang quietly came to the front of the two warriors, repeated the old trick, and asked: "Two strong men, please rest assured, others can't understand what we say, and you don't have to be afraid, why did you come to the Satsuma Domain?" ”
"We are under the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to arrest the pirate Lin Yiguan, let me ask you, why did the Briton brothers die here?" Thunderbolt asked angrily.
Master Tong Tang did not answer this question, and continued to ask, "How many of you came?" When did you arrive at Kameyama Castle? ”
"We are a group of seven people, ordered to capture the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, here one does not disturb the people, the other does not provoke the officials, our brother who was killed did not provoke you, why did you kill our brother, and hang his head on the city gate, so humiliating him, how can this be true!" Gai Dihu replied.
Master Tongtang sighed and said, "The brother who was killed is really pitiful, I don't know why Shimazu Yoshihisa wanted to put him to death. To tell the truth, I am also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, if I can help, I will definitely help, but I am poor and I am alone overseas, I can't return to my roots, and I can't go back to my hometown to add soil and incense to the ancestral grave, who can help me! As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.
Faced with Master Tongtang's performance, Bang Tianlei replied coldly: "Hmph! If you still have relatives in your hometown in your heart, and you have not forgotten your ancestors and ancestors, even if you run away from the famine and ask for food, you can also go back! I'm just afraid that you are greedy for the glory and wealth here and don't want to leave. ”
Master Tong Tang seemed to be quite aggrieved, and asked mysteriously, "Who said I don't want to go?" I heard that the imperial court is about to send 200,000 sailors to Japan, and when our Ming Dynasty army arrives, I, Yang, am willing to be a guide, haven't you heard of it? ”
The news came as a surprise to the two warriors, who looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Thunder couldn't help but reply: "Nonsense! There is nothing at all, our Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and we will not invade Japan for no reason, and no one in the court has such ambitions. ”
Master Tong Tang hurriedly asked, "You really only came here to arrest Lin Yiguan?" ”
"That's right, Lin Yiguan colluded with the Yan clan to rebel in a vain attempt to rebel in the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't he be arrested?" Gai Dihu replied.
So, Master Tongtang ran out of the cell in a panic, and after a while, Shimazu Yoshihisa broke in angrily and shouted, "Bring me that damn Liu Erguan to confront me." ”
As soon as Liu Erguan entered the door, he saw the two warriors who were tied up by the five flowers, and hurriedly bowed to Shimazu Yoshihisa, and said with a smile: "Lord Yoshihisa has made outstanding achievements in battle, and he personally caught two spies, and he is worthy of being the governor of the Shimazu family, which is really gratifying!" ”
Shimazu Yoshihisa was in the mood to listen to this compliment, pointed at Liu Erguan, and said sharply: "You lied to me! ”
Liu Erguan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask Lord Guijiu, who do you mean is lying to you?" ”
"If anyone lies to me, I'll cut off his head and feed it to the dogs." The angry Shimazu Yoshihisa then asked, "Is there a Ming Dynasty 200,000 sailors to attack?" ”
"Yoshihisa-sama, these two are spies, can you believe their words?" Liu Erguan replied.
Shimazu Yoshihisa said to Master Tongtang: "If you come and tell them that if you want to prove that they are not lying, show courage and cut your stomach in front of me, and I will bury them according to the etiquette and enshrine them as gods, and I will also let the liars receive the most severe punishment, let them decide for themselves." ”
Master Tong Tang relayed what they had just said to Thunder and Gaidihu, and they knew that this guy who nodded his head was actually a pirate leader full of evil.
The two glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and Thunder asked, "We can prove that we are not lying, may I ask what to do with the person who lied?" ”
Hearing Master Tang's relay, Shimazu Yoshihisa laughed loudly and replied: "Chop off the head of the liar and feed it to the dogs!" ”
Gai Dihu smiled at the master and said: "As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you have to have a little conscience, and it is up to you next, please testify for us." ”
Someone loosened the tie to the thunderbolt and the Gaidi tiger, and at this moment, Liu Erguan was about to slip away, but was stopped by the guards at the door, and he was immediately frightened.
Facing the warriors of the Flying Fish Camp, Master Tongtang was very ashamed, and with tears in his eyes, he helped them change into new clothes, personally brought a basin of water, and scrubbed the two short knives brightly.
Sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, Thunder and Gaidi Tiger smiled and raised the short knife in their hands......
Hearing only two plops, Master Tongtang suddenly fainted in fright, and then, the family put the corpses of the two warriors into the coffin and set up a mourning hall.
From this point of view, the so-called Ming Dynasty army's conquest of Japan is a pure lie, so Shimazu Yoshihisa was relieved, and suddenly felt that he had fallen for Lin Yiguan, and almost appointed him as the governor of the water division.
