The moon is dark and the wind is high, the clouds are thick and the stars are hidden, and the house is pitch black, this is the night of murder.

After Ji Yan realized that there were other people in the house, he immediately thought of Mei Yuning?

Tonight it was his turn to be vigilant, was he awake at the moment, or asleep, or ......

Ji Yan didn't think about it further.

He tried not to make any noise now, held his breath and listened, trying to tell how many people there were.

Carefully distinguishing the slight snort, Ji Yan estimated that there should be three or five people who had already sneaked into the house, and at present, they should have been frightened by Ji Yan's sudden sitting up from the bed, so they could feel that they were all standing in place, staying still.

Ji Yan had already calculated clearly in his heart at this time.

He clasped his right hand and struck the bed twice with the joints of his index and middle fingers.

"Boom! Boom! "Two sounds, because this bed board is wooden, so these two knocks are not small.

It was too late, and then it was too fast, and a cold light appeared, only to hear the sharp sword unsheathed, cutting through the dark silence.

What is reflected in the edge is Mei Yuning's murderous eyes and handsome face.

Ji Yan jumped up from the bed at this time and shouted:

"Where did the thief come from! Look at your grandfather's sledgehammer! ”

In the blink of an eye, there was a loud noise.

Ji Yan lit the fire that had been hidden long ago, and under the firelight, four dull faces were illuminated, and at this moment they were standing in the middle of the house, still holding a short knife in their hands, but the knife was not unsheathed.

The four of them were looking at Ji Yan nervously, worried about the "big hammer of your grandfather" that might be smashed at any time.

The sledgehammer didn't come.

A large pot of sticky and thick glutinous rice porridge came.

The porridge smells quite good.

It's a little cooler, but it's stickier.

With this plan, he had already hidden the fire fold and a large pot of glutinous rice porridge on the bed, and it seemed that he had already expected that it would not be peaceful tonight.

Between the lightning and flint, these four people didn't react to what was going on at all, and they were all confused.

They screamed at the burning, wiping the porridge on their faces with their hands and sleeves.

But this glutinous rice porridge has been boiled for a long time, so even if the glutinous rice is wiped off, there is still a layer of paste-like things in their eyes, ears, mouths and noses.

Mei Yuning walked like a fly, and at this moment, he also came to the four of them from another corner of the room, and he shot hard, knocking out the weapons in the hands of the four of them in three or two clicks.

At this time, Lin Anhe also broke into the door with five or six sturdy young men roaring, holding sacks of goods in their hands, and they couldn't help but say, one person took a sack and put these four paste people on it.

Seeing that the four sacks had been packed, Ji Yan immediately ran to the bedside, opened the window, and shook it twice with the fire fold.

I saw that the paper on the window had already been painted black by the ink, so the room was so dark.

Outside the house, around the house that planned to be watched every day, Ruan Zhong, who had already been ambushed at this moment, and his brothers, as well as the invited officers and soldiers of the Shanbei Kingdom, killed them together.

As mentioned above, although this Shanbei country was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, it has been colluding with Japan for a long time, and it has also turned a blind eye to a group of Japanese pirates who used other countries as a base.

But this is a different time.

Zheng He's huge fleet had been sailing away from Ningbo for several days, and was now on the East China Sea, and the purpose of their trip was already known to the world, to sweep away the plague of the Japanese invaders.

So Ji Yan arranged for Ruan Zhong to meet the king in the afternoon, which was kind words and threats, so that the king of Shanbei also made up his mind to help them exterminate this gang of bandits.

Mei Yuning and Ji Yan saw that the four gangsters in the house had been completely controlled, so they handed them over to Lin An and his men, and ran downstairs in the direction of the house.

Although the distance was very close, when the two of them arrived, the battle was over, and all the rooms were searched, although they did not find the young man who deceived Ruan Zhong and the others at that time, but the batch of glass was still there, only a few small things were missing, it seems that this group did not expect this result at all.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

In the courtyard, the lights were bright, and at this moment, Ruan Zhong and a dozen other people were holding weapons in their hands, and they had surrounded six or seven men dressed in Japanese costumes, and those six or seven people knew that it was useless to resist at this moment, so they had given up and threw their katana swords on the ground, all of them crying and mourning.

Although the officers and soldiers of Shanbei Kingdom were much larger, they only surrounded the family, and the two children had also been awakened at this time, and were hiding in their mother's arms in terror.

Ji Yan couldn't bear to look at the two children, walked up to Ruan Zhong and whispered, and then walked in front of the person who looked like the leader of the officers and soldiers.

Ji Yan said: "Thank you for your help, when the lower officials and Lord Zheng He's fleet converge, I will definitely tell Lord Zheng that our Shanbei country, the king is obedient, and the subjects are filial, and we are a model among the subject countries." ”

The leader had a sad look on his face and said:

"I'll let you go tonight, I can't explain it, or else, you will stay here tonight, and tomorrow morning, when the king gets up and makes a decision, what do you think?"

Although he was a question, he didn't look like he was discussing with Ji Yan and them.

Ji Yan and the others were only afraid of long nights and dreams, this was a Japanese residential area, and it would be difficult for them to deal with it tomorrow morning, if the king repented or the people gathered, so they insisted on boarding the ship and going to sea now.

The officer and Ji Yan were still grinding, and no one could convince anyone for a while.

After a while, I saw Mei Yuning striding forward, and before the officer could react to what was going on, he rushed to his neck to cool down, and a short sword was already across his shoulder.

Mei Yuning said: "Without further ado, we need to make a decision immediately. Now let this dog officer take us to the docks! ”

Ji Yan and Ruan Zhong glanced at each other, and decided to push the boat down the river, led by the dog officer, and the group escorted the widow and the family to the dock.

Lin Anhe was on the second floor of the inn, and he had already seen everything that happened in the courtyard, so he watched Ji Yan and the others set off, and also took his people and four sacks of goods downstairs to meet Ji Yan and the others.

Under the leadership of the Shanbei State officer, the group successfully arrived at the dock, where Ruan Zhong and Lin Anhe's boat was already waiting quietly, and everyone escorted the prisoners onto Ruan Zhong's ship.

When the ship anchored together, Mei Yuning turned around and walked behind the officer, collected the sword, and kicked him in the ass, and the officer fell into the water with a dog shit, but fortunately, the water at the dock was shallow, and they basically knew how to water, so they quickly floated up, and in the water, they scolded Mei Yuning for not knowing what to do, and scolded them for being ungrateful.

And no one paid any attention to him, so everyone went about their own things.

Ji Yan first made a gesture to Ruan Zhong and Lin Anhe, he apologized and said:

"This act tonight, especially when I kidnapped the leader of this officer and soldier later, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for the two brothers to come to Shanbei to do business in the future."

The two of them laughed and said, "What's this, we didn't do business with Shanbei Country originally, we continue to trade with Zhongshan Kingdom, and it won't get in the way at all." ”

Ruan Zhong, in particular, felt even more pain for these Japanese robbers, and laughed loudly:

"My brothers have all said that if you can follow Master Ji to wipe out all these robbers, even if it is half less business in the future, it will be worth it! What's more, our batch of glass was lost and recovered, which made up for a lot of our losses. ”

While everyone was talking and laughing, the two merchant ships had already left the dock and slowly set off for Japan in this calm night.

What they didn't know at this time was that not long after, more than 20 years, the Zhongshan Kingdom, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, annexed the Shanbei Kingdom and the Shannan Kingdom by force, ending the history of the Ryukyu Islands being divided into three countries, and after that, there was no Shanbei Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Shannan Kingdom, and there was only a unified Ming vassal state, the Ryukyu Kingdom.
