Chapter 1097: Matters of the Heart
Hexiang Ji bowed down and smiled: "The general is falsely praised!" Xiao Daogu still looked confused, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "This governor will go first to see what the situation is!" After that, Zhang Zhijie drifted down the mountain.
It wasn't until Zhang Zhijie walked away that Xiao Daogu looked at Hexiang Ji in a bit of confusion and said, "What Xiangzhuang is dancing the sword?" What kind of dumb riddle are you playing? β
Hexiang Ji said with a smile: "The reason why the general set off after ten days and half a month is that he wants the snipe and mussels to compete for the fisherman's profit, of course, this is Hexiang's own guess!" β
Xiao Daogu is not stupid, she just didn't expect it, and exclaimed when she heard this: "What? Two dogs strive for a bone and a third runs away with it? Did Zhang Zhijie want to occupy Luzon? β
Hearing this, Hexiang Ji smiled and said, "This is just Hexiang's speculation, otherwise why wouldn't the general be in a hurry to send troops?" The general's army is so powerful that it is not impossible to occupy Luzon? β
Xiao Daogu then thought of Zhang Zhijie's attitude, it was indeed a look of not being in a hurry and not getting angry, and what he said in front of the ministers of Luzon was very good, but he still looked leisurely.
But that's a good thing! Well, although it is not a good thing for the king of Luzon, but for Xiao Daogu, there is no need to worry about separating so soon.
Thinking of this, Xiao Daogu's mood began to fall again, although she knew that Zhang Zhijie would leave sooner or later, but when she really knew the date of leaving, her mood was still very low.
Xiaodaogu looked at Zhang Zhijie's back as he descended the mountain in a daze, and her eyes were full of reluctance. Hexiang Ji stood beside him, looking at the back of the descending mountain in the same daze.
When Hexiang Ji left the inner city, she had imagined a lot, a fat-headed, big-eared general, a rude and tyrannical demeanor, or a wrinkled and gray-haired nobleman.
But she never imagined that she would meet a personable son, a gentle general, and at that moment she believed that Apayasu still favored her.
The person she wants to follow all her life is worth following! It's just a pity that she didn't get the favor of the general, but the Zhixue City Lord and the general around her had an inexplicable affection, but to her surprise, the Zhixue City Lord did not have a husband and wife with the general.
This made Hexiangji a little surprised, there was obviously affection between the two, and Hexiangji also knew that the original city lord's wife of the Zhixue City Lord was a fake at all, and now the general gave Zhixue the city lord a mountain city, why did the two still have feelings but couldn't go further?
He Xiangji finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister Zhixue, the general is about to send troops, this time to send troops to Luzon, and then it is time to return to Daming, right?" The fleet will still come to Hakata Bay next year, but what about the general? β
Xiao Daogu's eyes darkened when she heard this, Zhang Zhijie is a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is already difficult to leave the Ming Dynasty this time, how can he go to sea again next year?
Hexiang Ji said softly: "Sister Zhixue, I can see that the general likes you, why you?" β
Xiao Daogu thought about it after hearing this, and said abruptly: "Actually, I am not from the Japanese country, I am from the Ming Dynastyγγγγγγ β
As Xiaodao Gu narrated, a twisted story was presented in front of her, and Hexiang Ji realized that there were such big twists and turns.
Hexiang Ji sighed: "I see! However, honestly speaking, there is nothing wrong with the general here, all this can only be regarded as providence! β
Xiao Daogu: "I know, otherwise, I won't live with him!" β
He Xiangji smiled: "Since we have all coexisted, the knot should also be untied!" β
Xiao Daogu was silent when she heard this, but she didn't know how to take this step, and after a long time, Hexiang Ji said abruptly: "We women are really the most unfortunate in the world, and all the suffering is borne by us!" β
"Actually, when my brother sent me out of the city, I knew that the war between Tachibanayama Castle and Funai Castle was not over, it was just the beginning!"
"Sooner or later, Tachibanayama Castle will be breached again by the Otomo clan, or the Otomo clan will disappear! I came here, and I felt that it would be Otomo after all, and it would be gone! β
"My uncle, brother, the elders of the Otomo clan, and the retainers will all die at the hands of the shogun in the end!"
He Xiangji looked into the distance and said silently, Xiao Daogu looked at her with a shocked face, and said with a complicated expression: "You, youγγγγγγ β
Hexiang Ji turned around and smiled bitterly: "I can't change anything, I can only bear it!" In this chaotic world, such things often happen, one moment the daughter of the family is married to the daimyo of the neighboring country, and the next moment, maybe they will attack each other! β
"Either her man is killed, or her father and brother are killed! What can a woman, do? can only bear it silently! β
Looking at the little Dao Gu with complicated eyes, Hexiang Ji smiled bitterly: "It's far away, actually, Sister Zhixue, I just want to persuade you to cherish the present and don't take the past to heart." β
After Zhang Zhijie descended the mountain, he called in the hundred households stationed on Luzon Island and asked about the details.
It turned out that the foreigners did not arrive in Luzon first, but reached the other side of Luzon Island, and after landing on the island, they began to massacre and conquer the natives, which was greatly resisted by the local natives.
But how could those backward natives compete with the Westerners who were armed to the teeth, they could only be slaughtered and driven away, and the Luzon country on Luzon naturally received the news of those tribes, so they began to mobilize troops to defend against the foreigners.
Then they directly suffered a big loss, at this time they were also sure that those people were foreigners, although I don't know if those foreigners were Spaniards, but obviously the force was very strong, and they used arquebuses.
In the face of hundreds of foreigners, hundreds of households are only a hundred people, and they can't compete with foreigners, plus the admiral has a military order first. So the hundred households planned to leave Luzon and go to Hakata Bay to report the news.
At this time, the king of Luzon found the garrison Baihu and asked Baihu to lead the warriors of the Ming Dynasty to meet the invaders, but Baihu naturally refused, claiming that he was preparing to report the news of Luzon's attack to the Admiral.
The king of Luzon was frightened by the foreigners, and it was really useless to ask for hundreds of households to send troops, after all, the Ming Dynasty only garrisoned a hundred people! Now he regretted very much why he didn't ask the admiral to stay in the garrison in the first place. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to be beaten like this by foreigners!
Now that he suddenly heard Baihu say this, the king of Luzon was like grasping the last straw! With so many elite soldiers under the command of the Admiral of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be able to keep Luzon safe!
