Just when Ma Liangbi visited Chen Ping, Mark and Louise came to Chen Shen's house, Guo Yi and Xu Linger have been non-stop for several days, deploying the decisive battle to encircle and suppress Ma Liangbi, and now they finally have a moment of leisure to listen to them talk about the situation in Luzon. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

When Mark and Louise arrived in Manila, it was just when the Dutch guerrillas were on a killing spree, so they were almost arrested and executed by the authorities, so they hurriedly took out a letter to Archbishop Perez, as well as the two merchant shipping tickets from Fuzhou City, and sent them to the governor's yamen.

In order to send the Manila galleon to the Moon Harbor, the governor of Lavizares had tried his best to obtain a merchant ship quotation, and could only trade with private merchants in the periphery, but now he got two at once, not to mention the joy, and after reading this letter, he was convinced of what it said, and immediately summoned Mark and Louise, and asked them for their intentions, and then released Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi and others.

Recently, the Dutch guerrillas have not taken advantage of the battle against the Lin Feng group, but have caused the uneasiness of the colonial authorities, and the governor of Lavizares has realized that normal trade with the Ming Dynasty is about to begin, not to mention that in daily life, it is indeed inseparable from the Chinese and overseas Chinese, and is ready to wait until they are both defeated, and turn their guns against the Dutch.

After Ma Wu and Lin Shaoqi were released, they began to ask for their ships and goods, but Mark did not help them anymore because he had something on his mind, and took Louise to meet Archbishop Perez, and since Father Simon Almeida returned to Sakai Town, no one asked him to pay for the goods, so he returned the merchant ship to the Jesuits first.

Knowing that the authorities, under the persuasion of Father Simon Almeida, were preparing to send an envoy to the Ryukyus to encircle and suppress Lin Feng, Mark realized that there must be a reason for this, and with the consent of Governor Lavizares, he immediately took Louis and accompanied the envoy back to Ryukyu.

According to the current situation in Luzon, everyone unanimously judged that Lin Feng would go underground in order to wait for the return of Rhonzo Nishi, and help him buy the ronin to go to support, but unfortunately Father Simon Almeida was still in the dark, still secretly helping Oda Nobunaga, completely unaware of the ambitions of pirates and pirates.

In order to smash Lin Feng's Y conspiracy to collude with the Japanese Invaders, they tried their best to subdue Ma Liangbi and won the position of the vanguard officer of the expeditionary force for Zhang Gou'er, and now the expedition is imminent, but Zhang Gou'er was placed under house arrest by Ma Liangbi in the teaching military field, in order to pass on the news to him, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er decided to visit Chen Ping overnight.

At this moment, Chen Ping is summoning Wang Qi at home, according to the task assigned to Wang Qi by Ma Liangbi, combined with the roadmap and time point of tomorrow's escort, Chen Ping guessed that Ma Liangbi is going to break the kettle this time, preparing to completely eradicate the potential power of the prince in one fell swoop, and the concubine Niangniang is in a catastrophe.

While they were discussing how to deal with Ma Liangbi, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er arrived.

The two sides met with courtesy, and Chen Ping asked straight to the point: "May I ask Guo Qianhu, Ma Xiangguo sent General Wang to dig graves outside Shuri City tomorrow, do you have a good plan to deal with it?" ”

"That's why I'm here." Guo Yi replied with a smile, "Please rest assured, there is nothing to accompany the tomb in the tomb, and the identity of the tomb owner cannot be confirmed at all." ”

Wang Qi was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "But, listening to the words of Lord Xiangguo, that is the tomb of the pirate Xu Hai, what is the reason for this?" ”

This is the news he got from the stirrups and saddle brothers, and it has been verified by General Zhang Fan, so he has such confidence. At that time, in order to let the prince get rid of Shang Kangbo, Queen Ma agreed that King Yong Chitose would marry the adopted daughter of Lord Zheng's family, so she must understand why the Ma brothers were added to the rank and knighthood, and she should also have some doubts about the life experience of Concubine Zheng, as long as it is proved that the owner of this tomb is a pirate, then Concubine Zheng Niangniang and Lord Zheng will not be able to escape from it. Guo Yi replied.

"Since there is no burial in the tomb, and the corpse has long been turned into white bones, I am relieved." At this point, Wang Qi sighed deeply and said with self-reproach: "However, the Double Ninth Festival is originally the day to worship ancestors, and it is not a good thing for me to dig up other people's graves for no reason." ”

"To tell the truth, according to the Taiwanese side, there is indeed a mother of the concubine in the grave, but the male protagonist is not his father, this is because during the war, he was mistaken, and he took this opportunity to bury the two of them, and the concubine must be grateful to the general." Guo Yi replied.

At this time, Xu Ling'er said: "The wise man has a thousand thoughts, or there is a mistake, please General Wang must not be careless, even if there is no burial thing in the tomb that can prove the identity, it is not ruled out that the Ma family will be framed, so tomorrow we will send stirrups and saddle brothers to assist the general in the name of worshipping ancestors. ”

Finding that they were so well arranged, Chen Ping and Wang Qi glanced at each other and nodded silently to each other.

Then, Guo Yi took out two letters, one of which was given to Wang Qi, asking him to help transfer it to Zhang Fan, and the other letter was given to Chen Ping, asking him to quietly hand it over to Concubine Niangniang on the way to escort him tomorrow.

In the letter to Zhang Fan, he told him to inquire about the whereabouts of Xiao Xi Longzuo after arriving in Luzon, and to be sure to cut off the connection between Lin Feng and the Japanese Kou, and then try to catch Lin Feng, and never let him fall into the hands of the Westerners.

At this time, Chen Pingzhi gave Wang Qi a look, intending to urge him to go first, and when he just got together, he suddenly heard Guo Yi ask: "General Wang, where are you from?" ”

"The last general's ancestral home is the Zhoushan Islands, and he moved to the Ryukyus to my generation, and he is already the third generation." Wang Qi replied.

"We are grateful for the help provided by the general, and we have asked for something, I wonder if the general can appreciate his face?" Guo Yi then asked.

Wang Qi replied without hesitation: "Lord Qianhu is serious, as long as it is for the benefit of the country and the people, Wang will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

"Good! Please return to the military field, worship Zhang Fan as a brother of the opposite sex, and work together to calm the world in the future, I don't know what the general wants? ”

"Thank you Guo Qianhu for your lift, I can't ask for it." Wang Qi said, hugged his fists at everyone, turned around and left the living room.

After a moment of silence, Guo Yi said: "Lord Sidai, there is no suspense about recalling Ma Liangbi tomorrow, and I can't do anything to nominate my lord to serve as the minister of state......"

Chen Ping hurriedly interrupted Guo Yi with a wave of his hand, with a look of anger on his face, as if he was reproaching them for being too lenient, shaking his head and replying: "This is the national government of the Ryukyus, so you don't need to bother. ”

Guo Yi didn't think too much about it, and asked, "It seems that Lord Chen can't trust us?" ”

"There are more ministers with higher positions than the old man, and the old man will not be able to take his turn anyway." Chen Ping replied.

At this time, Xu Ling'er smiled and said: "The matter is man-made, the lord has made miraculous contributions to the court, and saved face for Queen Ma, and the concubine is also grateful to you. ”

Of course, Chen Ping couldn't ask for it, and replied quite modestly: "To be honest, the old man didn't dare to have such extravagant hopes. ”

Guo Yi then asked: "After your lord becomes the minister of state, who do you think will serve as the deputy of Shuri?" ”

"What ...... this" Chen Ping naturally had a suitable candidate in his mind, but he replied insincerely: "Of course, it is determined by Queen Niangniang and Yongwang Chitose." ”

"May I ask if General Wang Qi is suitable?" Guo Yi continued* asked.

Chen Ping felt more and more that they were meddling, and replied quite angrily: "Don't forget to discuss national affairs. ”

However, Guo Yi was well aware of the complexity of the situation in the Ryukyus, and there were many people who secretly colluded with the Japanese invaders, and he was very uneasy about the key position of Shuri's director, and he said unrelentingly: "My lord, Lian is not old, and the future is terrifying. In the face of major rights and wrongs, Lord Chen never compromises, and he is very admired for his humble position, and I am afraid that he needs to be cautious in employing people. ”

"General Wang is about to go to Luzon, but the position of Shuri's deputy cannot be vacant for a day." The more Chen Ping spoke, the more angry he became, and directly issued an eviction order: "The two thousand households are tired, today is over, the old man will have to escort him tomorrow." ”

"Please don't misunderstand, there is no need for General Wang to go on the expedition, Zhang Fan can pacify the Lin Feng Group." Xu Ling'er stood up and said confidently: "Tomorrow we will meet Queen Ma, if we don't prepare in advance, when the queen asks about this matter, we can't answer casually." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ping was secretly surprised, he was still very worried, if he couldn't surrender Ma Liangbi, he would set himself on fire, so for tomorrow's action, he still had some foresight, the first rat at both ends, when Wang Qi was digging the grave, who should he talk to, in fact, he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, and was ready to act when the time came.

I remember that when Guo Yi went to Ryukyu on an errand as a brocade guard, his attitude was extremely arrogant, if he had known that she was here again, maybe Chen Ping would have teased them, but she came back this time, under her nose, quietly did so many things, it seems that these two are by no means idle people, and they must not be underestimated.

But as the supreme governor of Shuri Castle, the royal capital, over the years, Chen Ping has tasted enough sweetness, he thought that he would work in this position until he was old, but he never thought that he could go to the next level, and in his heart, he was very reluctant to take his current position.

After holding back for a long time, Chen Ping couldn't help but sneer, shook his head and sighed: "Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" Hehe, it's not that the old man loves power, it's really because the position of the director is very important, so let the old man take it over. ”

After settling Chen Ping, who might be shaken, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er went to the post house to meet Governor Konishi, and at this moment, the news that the expeditionary force was about to leave for Luzon had reached their ears.

As soon as he saw Guo Yi and the others coming, Governor Konishi asked angrily: "Didn't you say that you could remove Ma Liangbi?" Seeing that they are about to send a large army to Luzon, what face do they have to come to see me now? Wait for the punishment. ”

Xu Ling'er replied unceremoniously: "Your Excellency Xiaoxi, please be clear, we have nothing to do with the monkeys, we are just helping each other, if you will only follow us to make trouble, get out now!" ”

Governor Konishi really wanted to pack his luggage and go home immediately, and said angrily: "If Ma Liangbi is allowed to take command of the expedition, whether they can catch His Excellency Lin Feng will not say for the time being, once they activate the expeditionary force to escort and open up the arms route from Manila to Ise Bay, Lord Hashiba Chikuzen will lose its value in front of Lord Oda, so what is the use of you stationed in the Ryukyus?" ”

Guo Yi knew that Ishikawa Goemon and others were plotting to murder Oda Nobunaga, so he asked disdainfully: "Do you think that fool in Owari still has a future?" ”

Konishi replied proudly, "After Nagashino defeated Takeda Katsuyori in battle, Nobunaga has been appointed Minister of the Right Konoe and has built Azuchi Castle on the shores of Lake Biwa......"

Hearing this, Guo Yi was furious and immediately interrupted him: "Enough! Governor Konishi, I warn you, in the future, you must not mention the word Oda in front of us, and let me hear it again, and ask for your head first! ”

But Konishi Yukicho didn't care about it, and had to finish his words: "Under his command is the Maeda Toshiya Owari ** regiment, the Hokliku side has the Shibata Katsuya Army, the Kanto side has Oda Nobutada-samashi and Takigawa Ichiki Army, the Gyeonggi Province deploys the Akechi Mitsuhide Army, the Shikoku side has Niwa Nagahide and Oda Nobutaka Army, to deal with the group of bald donkeys in Ishiyama Honganji, there is the Sakuma Nobumori Army, the suppression of Tokaido, there is the Tokugawa Ieyasu-sama Army, and on the Chinese side, it is the army of Lord Yushiba Chikumae Mamoru who replaces the Muromachi Shogunate within reach, The world is armed, and overseas expeditions are just around the corner......"

Xu Ling'er shook her head slightly, interrupted him again, and persuaded: "Your Excellency Xiaoxi, in that case, what do you father and son have to do with the monkey?" Why don't you take refuge in Ma Liangbi now, let him help your father and son say a few kind words in front of fools, maybe you will soon be able to realize your dream of being a samurai, our cooperation ends here, how about sending you to see Ma Liangbi now? ”

President Konishi suddenly opened his mouth, showing some shame, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

So, Xu Ling'er continued: "Among the retainers of the monkeys, your father and son are considered to be descendants, and you should have heard of the legend about the Divine Mirror. ”

Not many people know about this legend, and in the moment of hesitation, Governor Konishi overheard Guo Yi say sharply: "It won't be too long for that madman who defied the sky and destroyed the Buddha to die without a place to be buried!" ”

Although Konishi Yukicho is a Christian, when he heard the words "Destroying the Buddha against the sky", he still thought it was true, and couldn't help nodding secretly, maybe Oda Nobunaga will soon be retributed, then, it will definitely cause a scuffle between his retainers, with the current strength of Hashiba Hideyoshi, it would be good to be able to protect himself, thinking of this, I suddenly felt a shudder.

When he came to his senses, Xu Ling'er said seriously: "Your Excellency Xiaoxi, I didn't come to you today for anything else, we will let Ma Liangbi lose his official position and be exiled tomorrow, you can go back to hand over the errand, let the monkey not forget his promise to us, and help us in Kyoto as soon as possible." ”

"Really?" Konishi was skeptical.

"Of course, we'll see tomorrow." Xu Ling'er replied lightly.

"If this can be done, Yakuro will only believe in Miss Yi's horse head in the future!"
