Louise signed the three letters and gratefully called out "Bodhisattva." [Full text reading. 】

"These three letters are kept with me for the time being, and when it is time to send them to whomever it is time to send them, we will naturally send them out for you." Guo Yi said, snatching the letter from Louise's hand.

Xu Ling'er then asked, "May I ask Miss Louise, do you have any questions?" ”

Louise understood that her fate was in their hands, so she forced a smile and shook her head, but asked unwillingly, "When can I go back to Japan?" ”

"You'll have to follow us to Ryukyu, and it's hard to know when we'll let you go. Rest assured, though, we'll keep you safe. Xu Linger replied.

"Will Mr. Mark go?" Louise then asked.

Guo Yi replied, "Mr. Mark will go." ”

When they left Louise's room, it was still dark, and Mark never came back to prove that he was Megumi Yanagishita.

Except for the patrolling soldiers, everyone was still in a dream, and the whole barracks were quiet, when the first rays of light from the east poured into the bay, and a galleon docked at the North Harbor Pier.

Pang Shangpeng sent a ship to pick up the families of Tortoiseshell Harbor, and when the news spread, the barracks immediately exploded......

The sailors carried Li Chenghuai on a stretcher to the door of the tent, and hundreds of women and children fell to their knees crying and screaming, at this time, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er walked over together.

"Guo Qianhu, Xu Qianhu, save us!"

"Will Pang Shangpeng kill us? Or exile us? ”

"We are originally Taiwanese, and we are not going anywhere to ......"

"Where's Madame? We're going to follow Mrs. Roche in the future! ”

……

Faced with this scene, Guo Yi and Xu Linger didn't know how to answer, and with an embarrassed smile, they walked through the crowd and came to Li Chenghuai's approach.

"May I ask the two Thousand Household Lords, what will Pang Shangpeng do with us?" Li Chenghuai sat up and asked.

Finding that his injuries were still very serious, Xu Ling'er motioned for him to lie down closely, and at this time, Luo Amin's mother and daughter also came, and the cries of men, women and children suddenly resounded in the sky.

After a while, Feng An arrived with the guards, and he was also sad to see this scene.

Li Chenghuai sat up again and arched his hand and said, "General Feng, I'm causing you trouble." ”

Feng An waved his hand at him, and when he got close to Guo Yi, he asked in a low voice, "Sister, what if they all refuse to leave?" ”

Finding that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were very embarrassed, Luo Amin replied: "How about I go and persuade everyone to let them follow us to Ryukyu?" The Lin family shochu shop is in charge of their lives, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

"The huge people may not agree, if all these people go to the Ryukyus, I am afraid that Lin Feng will be even more unscrupulous to disturb the coast." Feng An replied helplessly.

If you really want to do this, I am afraid that Feng An will not be able to explain to the imperial court in the future, so Xu Ling'er said: "It seems that we still have to go to Fuzhou to meet the huge people in person, and hope that the government can show extrajudicial favors to these people." ”

At this moment, Guo Yi remembered the agreement with Governor Konishi, and replied in a hurry: "Sister, August 15 is almost here, and I am so anxious that I can't wait to fly to Naha Port immediately." ”

At this time, Li Chenghuai said: "If I can apologize for my sins with death in exchange for everyone's peace, I am willing to go to Fuzhou to see a huge number of people to receive their sins and die." With that, he turned his gaze to the sailors beside him.

These people understood Li Chenghuai's intentions, knelt down together, and shouted: "We are all willing to apologize with death." ”

So, under Feng An's arrangement, Li Chenghuai and dozens of sailors were sent to Fuzhou first, and Guo Yi and Xu Linger offered to go with them.

"These days, the two of you have been tired all day, there is really no need to make such a trip, and I have confidence that the huge people will properly accommodate these people." Feng An persuaded.

Li Chenghuai also persuaded: "Two Thousand Households, what General Feng said is that if you two follow, the huge people may see in your face and forgive me for the time being, and after you leave, it will not be beautiful to settle accounts after the autumn, so let General Feng send officers and soldiers to escort us, and there will be no complaints if you want to kill or kill us; If the huge people can forgive me, I, the most heinous pirate leader, can come back safely, and it will not be too late to lead everyone back to Fuzhou. ”

Guo Yi replied helplessly: "It's okay, we won't go back to Ryukyu for the time being, and we'll wait here for you to come back and pick up people." ”

In this way, Feng An sent people to tie up Li Chenghuai and dozens of sailors, sent them to the warship, and asked them to go to Fuzhou to meet Pang Shangpeng, and the families of all the Tortoiseshell Harbor soldiers were temporarily placed in Beigang to wait for their news.

After dealing with these things, it was noon again, when Mark came to Vonne and insisted on rearranging his housing, and he was determined not to live with Louis.

"Where did you run last night?" Guo Yi asked.

Mark pointed to the mosquito bag and replied with emotion: "I stayed under the big banyan tree for a night, and I was about to be bitten to death." ”

"Sure enough, it's Megumi Yanagishita!" Guo Yi smiled and praised loudly.

At this time, Feng An smiled slightly, and then said: "I'm afraid Mr. Mark doesn't know that the reason why Yanagishita Hui is respected is because he holds a beautiful woman in his arms, and he will not have any indecent behavior towards this woman, let alone any inappropriate thoughts, which is probably not something ordinary people can do......"

"Could it be that if you want to learn from Megumi Yanagishita, you have to hold a beautiful woman? However, since he didn't have any wrong thoughts, why did he hold this beautiful woman? Mark asked, puzzled.

"Your understanding is very correct, if you want to be Yanagishita Megumi, you have to really experience sitting still, Mr. Mark, do you want to give it a try?"

Finding that Guo Yi was about to make fun of Mark again, Xu Linger hurriedly stopped: "Let's go eat quickly." ”

On the way to the dining room, Mark wasted no time in continuing to confess to Xu Ling'er: "I, I have given up my missionary position, I, I want to be like Mr. Yanagishita Megumi, a responsible husband in the future, a father who loves his children deeply......"

Xu Ling'er's face suddenly turned crimson, and she hurriedly lowered her head and hid behind Guo Yi.

At this time, Guo Yi took out two letters to the Manila authorities and the Sakai Town Council, and said: "This is written by Louise, we can't read the Western, you can help us see, what did she write?" ”

Mark took the letter and looked at it twice, and asked in amazement, "W-Is this really Miss Louise's writing?" ”

Guo Yi nodded seriously and replied with a smile: "Miss Louise is a rare talented woman. ”

"What do you mean by Wai Xiu Huizhong?" A stunned Mark then asked.

"When you're done eating, you've finished reading it, come to me again, and I'll tell you what Waixiu Huizhong is." Guo Yi replied.

After lunch, Mark invited Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er to a big banyan tree, and said with emotion: "Thanks to these two letters from Miss Louise, otherwise, I don't know how to face Father Simon Almeida and Archbishop Perez in the future. ”

Mark did not dispute the contents of the letter, so they were relieved to judge that Louise was not playing tricks in the letter.

Returning the letter to Guo Yi, Mark asked, "I know that the 3,000 arquebuses were confiscated by General Feng An, but I wonder if she will give me some compensation?" And will the merchant ship of the Congregation be returned to me? ”

"The ship should be returned to you, but don't think about the silver." Guo Yi replied.

Mark, who looked flustered, waved his hand and said, "But if Father Simon Almeida asks me to compensate in the future, I can't afford it." ”

Guo Yi suddenly became serious and asked, "Could it be that you don't want to join the Elder Moon Sky Business Group, and you will continue to work for the Crowd Alliance?" ”

"Since Elder Moon Sky is also in business, it will be impossible not to deal with the Crowd and the Manila authorities in the future, this, how can I face them, maybe Father Simon Almeida will sue me in the court in Manila, if I can't afford to compensate, I, I may be convicted by the court." Mark stammered back.

"If such a thing really happens in the future, please believe that Elder Moon Sky will definitely help you." Guo Yi comforted.

Judging from Xu Linger's attitude towards Mark, it is impossible to agree to him easily, and for the sake of Xu Linger to even give up his faith, in order not to make him sad, it is a good idea to let him associate with Louise more.

Mr. Mark is kind-hearted and very honest, and he is fascinated by Chinese civilization, and what he promised will not be easily changed, and he is more reliable than Louise, so if Louise can be obedient and dependent on him, things will be much easier in the future......

So, Guo Yi asked with a smile: "Do you want to know about the meaning of Wai Xiu Huizhong?" ”

Mark nodded earnestly.

"Hehe, like Miss Louise, it's Wai Xiu Huizhong, understand?" Guo Yi then said: "Look, Miss Louise looks like a fairy, this is called Waixiu, and then you look at the two letters written by others, it is really called a wonderful pen, and the responsibility of the two of you is clean, not only there is no fault, but also meritorious, this is called Huizhong." ”

Mark nodded earnestly again, and asked with some confusion: "So, what is a wonderful pen?" ”

If such a question continues to be entangled, it may be endless, Guo Yi smiled and replied mysteriously: "The letters written by the wonderful pen must be kept strictly confidential, please remember it." ”

"Miss Louise is amazing!" Mark raised his thumb as he spoke, but turned his eyes to Xu Ling'er, he wanted to see Xu Ling'er's crimson face, and even expected her to show jealous eyes and expressions......

At this time, Louise found that they were gathered to chat and came over to say hello, Guo Yi quickly pushed her and Mark together, and the two looked at each other and seemed quite embarrassed.

So, Guo Yi said: "Mr. Mark, you now have the opportunity to really experience Megumi Yanagishita's feelings, and see if you can really sit still." ”

"Okay, today I'm going to really experience Megumi Yanagishita." With that, Mark was taken away by Louise.

That night, the two of them lived together, this time Mark stopped meditating, he and Louise came to the bed hand in hand, only to see Louise shaking her long eyelashes, a pair of charming eyes flying, out of instinct, Mark's heart suddenly rippled, and he couldn't help but tremble, but his heart was still chanting: I am Yanagishita Megumi, I am Yanagishita Megumi......

Finding that Mark was still indifferent, Louise opened her arms to him, and a panicked Mark hurriedly flashed to the side.

"Come on, my dear, we'll have to work together in the future." Louise said, and lay down beside Mark, looking sleepy-eyed.

At this time, Mark suddenly remembered Guo Yi's words: Mr. Yanagishita Hui was holding a beauty in his arms, and he would not be rude to her, let alone messing with his mind, so he took the beauty into his arms and continued to chant in his heart: I am Yanashita Hui......

The two hugged for a while, and Louise began to tear Mark's clothes, but he hugged him tighter, and it was even difficult to breathe, and she hurriedly broke free, only to find Mark with his eyes closed and words still in his mouth......

So Louise brushed her hair, put her face on Mark's shoulder, and was silent for a long time, and whispered: "My dear, I know that as a priest you cannot marry a wife and have children, but I also know that your master, Mr. Simon Almeida, has many, many lovers......

Finding that Mark was like a puppet, Louise then exhorted: "Honey, you should know that Martin of the Holy Roman Empire (Germany). Mr. Luther founded a Protestant denomination, and in the future, Protestant pastors can marry and have children, so let's convert to Protestantism together. ”

Finding that Mark was still unmoved, Louise's patience reached the limit, and her heart began to be irritable, scolding Mark in her heart, but her mouth said, "You are really a qualified priest......

In this way, the two spent a difficult night together, and as soon as the day dawned, the refreshed Mark got up from Louise's side and shouted excitedly: "Great, I really experienced a sitting still, I am Yanagishita Megumi ......"

Off topic

Martin. Martin Luther (1483~1546), born in Germany in November 1483 (known as the birthplace of the Reformation), was an advocate of the European Reformation in the 16th century and the founder of Protestant Lutheranism.

In Europe under the feudal system at that time, the crisis of faith and social contradictions were increasingly intensified, both the nobility and the burghers were generally extremely dissatisfied with the status quo, and the suffering of the lower classes was even deeper.

In college, Martin. Luther delved into theology and philosophical theories in the monastery, and carefully explored the "true meaning" of human faith, but to no avail. At this time, in order to relieve his "spiritual pain", he began to look for the way of "being saved by God's forgiveness of sins", and realized that the traditional church requires human beings to be demanding, and the rituals and divine skills performed by him do not help people relieve their inner anguish, and scholastic theology can only lead people's hearts to a dead end, and these doubts led to the suppression of the church and even excommunication from his church.

Therefore, with the support of the people at the bottom, Luther wrote the "Encyclical Against the Antichrist", and burned the Pope's Encyclical and some canons, setting off a vigorous Reformation movement, which played a very subtle but important role in the development of European culture and culture.

Before 1517 A.D., those who did not profess Roman Catholicism were branded as hereticals, and this atmosphere was certainly not conducive to independence of thought, and after the Reformation, two denominations were changed, and the result of a long struggle was the Renaissance, and later the liberal thought of French in the eighteenth century, and the principle of capitalism of freedom of thought.

Since then, the modern West has entered the era of "liberalism", and no investigation, consideration, or judgment of any thought has greatly stimulated the innovative vitality of human beings.

The difference between priests and pastors: When we translate the different missionary lines and factions of Christianity, we generally treat different denominations differently. A priest is a Roman Catholic or Catholic priest; A priest is an Orthodox priest; The priest refers to Martin Luther's holy character of Protestantism after the Reformation. The Roman Catholic Church stipulates that priests are divided into those who serve the diocese and those who belong to the religious order, and can only be men, and they cannot marry for life. Priests can get married, women can become priests, and in the Protestant three-tier hierarchy, priests are bishops and lower priests.
