Early the next morning, Li Rusong led the horse and waited outside the inn, Xu Linger packed up and went out of the inn accompanied by Rong'er and Su'er, Li Chengliang led the whole family to send them out of Chaoyangmen.

Xu Ling'er and Li Rusong got on their horses and walked side by side, the two of them were full of tears, and sometimes turned around and waved goodbye to the people who saw them off.

Walking along the post road on the bank of the canal, silent along the way, he came to the boundary of Tongzhou in the blink of an eye, at this time, Xu Ling'er got off the horse and said: "Brother Rusong, send off thousands of miles, there will be a farewell, please go back." ”

Li Rusong turned over and dismounted, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said emotionally: "Ling'er, how can I bear to let you go to Japan alone, then am I still a man?" As he spoke, he also shed tears.

"It's about to start martial arts, Brother Rusong, you must be the champion of high school martial arts, I'll go back quickly, you can rest assured."

"Ling'er, as long as we can be together forever, what is the fame?"

"Silly brother, in case I can't come back, you have to be kind to yourself......" Speaking of the sad part, Xu Linger couldn't help crying.

"Don't say stupid things, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth in this life."

Xu Ling'er closed her eyes, rested her chin on his shoulder, and the two stayed quietly for a while, and she slowly left Li Rusong's embrace.

Li Rusong cupped her face, helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, held her hand tightly, and said firmly: "Ling'er, let's go, even if we die, we will die together." ”

Xu Ling'er looked at him affectionately and persuaded: "Brother Rusong, don't miss the fame, don't worry, I will definitely be able to come back." With that, he flew on his horse.

"Don't say any more. Rusong is also a dignified seven-foot man, how can I let you go on an adventure alone, if I can't accompany you, heaven and earth will not allow it! Don't talk about it, let's go. With that, Li Rusong also stepped on the horse and continued to accompany her on the road.

Xu Ling'er was anxious, reined in the horse's reins, and continued to persuade: "Brother Rusong, there will be a farewell, you better go back quickly." ”

"Ling'er, it's not early, we still have to hurry, don't make any more trouble." Li Rusong said, whipping Xu Ling'er's horse.

Just as the two of them hurried forward, they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "On the orders of Lord Lu Yunlong, Li Rusong, the captain of the Flying Fish Battalion, listens to the order." ”

Li Rusong restrained his horse, turned around and asked, "Who are you, and what are Lord Lu's orders?" ”

"Order Li Rusong to go back with me immediately to see Lord Lu, report to the Flying Fish Camp today, and participate in the suppression of bandits in western Beijing, without hesitation."

"Forgiveness is difficult to obey, you can go back." Li Rusong said that, quickly caught up with Xu Ling'er, and shouted: "Let's leave quickly, leave him alone." ”

And Xu Ling'er stopped holding the reins of the horse, and persuaded loudly: "Brother Rusong, you must not disobey!" ”

Suddenly, three more people in front of him stopped Li Rusong, and a brocade-clothed guard dragged him off his horse and shouted: "Bold fanatics, dare to disobey!" Immediately afterward, two wrestlers came up and controlled him without saying anything.

At this time, Xu Ling'er whipped the horse a few times, and the horse seemed to be crazy, and suddenly its four hooves were windy, and the wind was like lightning, and it soon crossed Li Rusong.

"Brother Rusong, you have to wait for me to come back."

"Ling'er, you wait for me at the inn in front, we'll see you and leave......"

Li Rusong, who was tied up by Jinyiwei, looked at Xu Ling'er's distant back, his heart was like a knife, he knew that Ling'er would not wait for him at the inn in front of him, so he prayed silently in his heart......

It wasn't until Xu Ling'er's back disappeared that the four brocade guards escorted Li Rusong back to the capital.

Xu Ling'er turned around with tears in her eyes, Li Rusong was no longer visible, and she was very disappointed......

Enduring his grief, he hurried along the way, went to Liaodong through Shanhaiguan, crossed the Yalu River, and came to Korea, crossed the sea by merchant ship from the port of Busan, and went straight to Kyushu Island, Japan.

According to Luo Wenlong's confession, they sent Xu Yihou to Akimeura in Kawabe County in southern Kyushu, Japan, and handed it over to a group of Ming pirates entrenched here.

Xu Ling'er grew up in Japan since childhood, and has a relatively good understanding of the situation in this place, legend has it that the Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen Master prepared for 12 years, went through a lot of hardships, and in the case of blindness, the sixth eastward crossing successfully landed in Akimepo, and introduced the precepts of the "Nanshan Sect" into Japan, therefore, Master Jianzhen is the founder of the "Law Sect", and was named "Master of the Lantern Transmission" by the Japanese Emperor, there are many relics and legends about him, but now, it is the stronghold of the pirate leader Lin Yiguan.

The Satsuma people of Kyushu are known for their fierceness, and since the Muromachi shogunate, the Shimazu clan has served as the guardian of the three kingdoms of Satsuma, Osumi and Hinata, and today, the lord of the Satsuma clan is called Shimazu Takahisa.

The pirate leader Hayashi Ichikan, who was entrenched in Akimeura, wanted to revive the prestige of the Satsuma Hui king, and Shimazu Takahisa, the lord of the Satsuma domain, tolerated and nurtured the traitors, maintaining a high degree of vigilance against them and wanting to use them.

Because Xu Yihou had practiced medicine in Kyushu for many years, the merits accumulated by hanging pots to help the world made it famous, so after Xu Ling'er arrived in Chuanbian County, she inquired about her father's whereabouts without much effort.

The village of Akimeura was mostly settled by fishermen along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, and the castle of the pirate Lin Yiguan was built on a hill not far away.

After Xu Yi was sent by Luo Wenlong, many people were very sympathetic to his plight, even the pirate leader Lin Yiguan did not embarrass him, let him live in Qiumupu Village, and someone took him out to sea every day, looking for the immortal or hermit everywhere, so as to get the dragon ball in the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, which was used to treat Yan Shifan's eye disease.

Standing in the cold wind, Xu Ling'er shivered from the cold, looking at the dark brown sea from afar, her expression was extremely solemn, I don't know where my father was taken at this time?

Bursts of cold currents swept across the sea, like thousands of lions roaring, and the swells like small mountains struck, coming from the sky one after another, splashing waves several feet high.

In the evening, a galleon returned from the sea, Xu Yi got off the ship with the sailors, and Xu Ling'er, who was hiding behind the rocks, finally found the gray-haired old father.

"Xu Langzhong, let's risk our lives to wander the sea, can we find the old immortal?" A sailor asked.

"It's really not the right time, maybe when the spring flowers bloom next year, the old fairy won't come out." Xu Yihou replied with a smile.

I heard someone say: "I heard that the old Xiaoge can't wait, if you can't find the old immortal Weng again, I'm afraid that the first official can't afford it, and something big will happen to Akimeura." ”

Xu Yi made up his mind that he could delay it for a day, even if he died here, he would never be committed to the traitor, so he stopped talking and returned to the village silently.

After carefully scouting Qiumepu Village, Xu Ling'er found that because pirates usually practiced in the castle, there seemed to be no vigilance here, and the villagers living here were very simple.

A full moon shone on this quiet fishing village, and the whistling cold wind blew the cabin behind Xu Yi, and a voice asked, "Brother Xu, haven't slept yet?" ”

Xu Yihou opened the door and replied, "Lao Zhu, it's too cold outside, let's go into the house and sit for a while, let's chat." ”

"I'm on duty tonight, and if the village patrol knows I'm lazy, they won't kill me." Saying that, Lao Zhu, who played the watch, walked away.

In the second half of the night, a dark shadow entered the wooden house, Xu Yihou was sleeping, and suddenly realized that someone had broken in, rubbing his confused eyes, and just wanted to ask, but was gagged by a hand.

"Dad, I've saved you."

Xu Yihou, who was like a dream, hurriedly sat up and asked in horror, "Child, why did you run here?" ”

"Daddy doesn't know, Yan Song's father and son have already surrendered to the law, and the child is already the captain of the Jinyi Guard."

"Hehe, the evil Yan father and son have fallen. Now that my son has become an official, it is really gratifying! ”

Seeing that the old father was ecstatic, Xu Linger hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Daddy, let's leave while it's dark." ”

Zhu Junwang, who was called Lao Zhu, was on duty tonight, and when Xu Linger took his father to the entrance of the village, he found that he was wrapped in cotton clothes and was sitting in the corner of the village entrance to avoid the wind.

Hearing Zhu Junwang cough twice, Xu Ling'er said, "Daddy, wait for me to kill him!" ”

Seeing that her daughter was about to make a move, Xu Yihou hurriedly stopped her and said, "Ling'er, this is your Uncle Zhu, we are fellow villagers, let's take him with us." ”

At this time, Zhu Junwang ran over and asked in a low voice, "Lao Xu, who is this?" Why are you going? ”

Xu Yi replied: "Lao Zhu, come back to your hometown with us."

Zhu Junwang was overjoyed and hurriedly replied: "Okay, you go to the mountain bag over there first and hide for a while, and I'll take my son with me." ”

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Junwang brought a teenage child, and the four of them quietly left the village and disappeared into the vast night......

In the early morning of the next day, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar came to the cabin where Xu Yihou lived, and the entourage behind him shouted: "Lao Xu, you have gone to sea, Lao Xu, haven't you woken up yet?" ”

After screaming a few times, he opened the door after seeing Xu Yi, and the middle-aged man kicked the door open, only to see that the room was empty, so he asked, "Who was on duty last night?" ”

"Zhu Junwang." Someone replied.

"Then why don't you find Zhu Junwang and ask!"

A quarter of an hour later, someone came back and reported: "Lord Yiguan, Zhu Junwang and his son are also missing. ”

This middle-aged man is the pirate leader Lin Yiguan, when he heard that Xu Yihou and the Zhu family's father and son had escaped, he was immediately furious, and ordered: "Take my token and send it to the islands, within three days, you must see people alive, and you must see corpses when you die, otherwise, Luo Wenlong will come to me and ask for someone, how can I explain?" ”

When Lin Yiguan was giving orders to the islands, Xu Ling'er had already taken his father and the Zhu family father and son to Chikuzen, and they were ready to cross the sea to Hirado.

Chikuzen is located in the northernmost part of the Saikaido on the island of Kyushu, across the sea from Nagato.

In winter, the fields stretch as far as the eye can see, piles of straw are scattered around the village, wisps of cooking smoke drift out of the dotted villages, and the sound of firecrackers sometimes rings out as the New Year approaches.

Not long after Xu Ling'er and the others passed through the village, two ronins climbed onto a straw stack outside the village, and a short, short-bodied ronin with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks lay on it, and asked in a sharp voice, "Little Liu, what is my official name now?" ”

The fat man on the haystack couldn't help laughing when he heard the monkey's question, and replied, "Fujiyoshiro, you don't have an official title yet." ”

The monkey looked up at the Hirosawa Plain, where the Toga River was nurtured, and sighed, "What a great place!" In the future, I must ask Lord Oda to make me the guardian of the building. ”

After that, the monkey lay on the straw stack and basked in the sun, puffing out his sharp mouth and blowing a little song, looking leisurely and content.

At this time, I heard Xiao Liu ask under the haystack, "Who are you?" ”

The monkey looked down and saw a beautiful girl in black, who was panting and sitting down against the straw stack, and hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see a group of wild warriors running and screaming, apparently they were looking for this woman.

The two rolled down from the haystack, the monkey gave Xiaoliu a look, they dug a hole under the straw stack, and now the girl had nowhere to escape, understood what they meant, and immediately got in, so the monkey and Xiaoliu hurriedly sealed the hole with straw.

When the group of wild warriors were about to chase after him, the monkey gave the little six big mouths, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up, so the two fought together, screaming while fighting, and the scene was very lively.

"Have you seen a woman?" A wild samurai asked.

The monkey ignored the wild samurai, and immediately pounced, suppressed Xiao Liu's fat beating, and hurt him like a ghost crying wolf.

Seeing that the wild warriors were wielding scimitars and surrounding them, the monkey angrily asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Have you seen a woman?"

The monkey got up from Little Liu, pointed to the woods in the distance, and said, "It seems that a woman has run there." After that, he began to attack Xiao Liu again.

The wild warriors glanced at each other, and one threatened, "Don't lie to us!" If you dare to lie, I will kill you. ”

Xiaoliu attacked the monkey again, and the two continued to fight, and as a result, the monkey's face was scratched.

So, the monkey wiped the blood from his face, and the samurai yelled: "Why should I lie to you! ”

Feeling that they were not lying, the wild warriors chased in the direction of the woods, and when the group ran away, the monkey and Xiaoliu were also tired, leaning on the haystack and gasping for breath.

After a moment's respite, the monkey opened the hole and called softly, "Girl, girl, come out quickly?" "I saw that the haystack was empty, and there was no trace of the girl?

At this time, Xiao Liu leaned back with a smile and persuaded: "Don't think about it anymore, Mrs. Ning Ning is still waiting for you to go home, not to mention, if Lord Oda knows that you sneak out to play, hehe, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity to be a Chikuzen guard." ”

The indignant monkey stamped his feet, roared in anger, glanced unwillingly at the entrance of the cave, and left the place in a huff.
