In the tent of the commander of the Xuanji camp, Shi Xin was dressed in thin armor and stood with his hands in his hands. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info tent on one side of the screen, the screen is very elegant, behind the burning of a furnace of ambergris, incense accompanied by the light fragrance of the cold wine curling out, set off the screen behind the people are very dignified.

Under the tent, Liu Qi was holding his fists and bowing his body, with a solemn expression.

"Is that true?" Shi Xin asked in a deep voice, with a rare hint of worry in his tone.

"There is no doubt that I followed for a long time in the afternoon, and Wei Qi did go to Mu Yun's camp!" Liu Qi replied.

"Well, that's what he deliberately lured you through." Shi Xin sighed at this time and said, "Although he has lost his kung fu at the moment, he has not lost his eyesight, you can keep up, I think he didn't deliberately avoid you...... Can you remember exactly when he entered Mu Yun's account? ”

Liu Qi straightened up, thought slightly, and replied, "It's just now, at the beginning of the unitary time." ”

Shi Xin nodded, repelled Liu Qi, turned his head to look at the screen, and said, "An Shi, what do you think?" ”

"Well, this happened when I came back...... Although he is my apprentice, I feel more and more unable to see through him at the moment. Behind the screen, a graceful and elegant voice sounded, he claimed to be Wei Qi's master, that was Murong Yuan was undoubted, just listen to him continue: "But I watched this child grow up, his intentions, I still believe it." ”

When Shi Xin heard this, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak.

But at this time, Murong Yuan in the screen said eloquently: "Wu Hui, who was punished by His Majesty in public in today's account, is an old minister in the court, and he is a fellow villager with Liu Gelao, and I heard that he has been quite close to King Qin recently, and he can be regarded as a member of the Shence Party. This time, His Majesty humiliated him in public, firstly, to establish his authority in front of the army, and secondly, to show the King of Qin in the court. Although Mu Manzi was relied on by His Majesty, he had been holding on to Shanhaiguan for nearly two months, and His Majesty was now doubting Mu Manzi's intentions. ”

Shi Xin nodded when he heard this: "Lao Qi has checked, and after Wu Hui arrived in Linyu, the first person he looked for was Wei Huan." ”

Murong Yuan continued: "That's a good explanation, King Qin already knew that Wu Hui would be punished this time, and instructed him to deal with Gonggong Wei, just to make His Majesty have a grudge against Gonggong Wei and Liu Ge." But after that, Gonggong Wei made an appointment to meet Ah Qi, and there must be an article in it. After a pause, he seemed to think for a long time, and said: "What Ah Qi has experienced in the edict prison, it is difficult for you and me to know, and he is wearing the brand of a giant gate at the moment, which is an excellent stand-in, and King Qin will definitely not despise it...... Alas, at that time, when I first heard the news of Black Eagle's death and the whereabouts of Zhaoming's orphan, I thought about his subordinates, and I mistakenly thought that King Qin was also beating those children. Now that I think about it, the main purpose of the assassination of Qin at that time was to pull Liu Gelao, Mu Manzi and you into the game at the same time, making it difficult for the Northern Expedition to take place, and Ah Qi was just an unexpected thing for King Qin to be involved. ”

Shi Xin also frowned and said: "It is difficult to carry out the Northern Expedition, there will be no generals in the DPRK and China at that time, and the border trouble is imminent." King Qin is the only remaining general trusted by His Majesty in Xuandu, and he can lead the army to the Northern Expedition, but His Majesty is limited to the chaos of the court, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only sit in Xuandu. At that time, the king of Qin will have the power of the army, and the situation will be difficult to say. And at this time, the king of Qin happened to arrest your apprentice......"

Murong Yuan knew what Shi Xin was referring to, sighed, and continued: "Ah Qi is not a disciple of the Obscure Ming Pavilion, so the King of Qin will plan and use Ah Qi as a stand-in for the "Giant Gate", and at this time, Ah Qi is alive to the King of Qin. First of all, if Ah Qi is alive, you and I will inevitably be saved, and at this time, the king of Qin can use this as a basis to be excluded from the three major battalions; Secondly, the message that the messenger of the giant gate of the Bright God Sect assassinated the King of Qin spread, and the King of Qin was able to get rid of the Bright God Sect; Finally, it is also the deepest part of King Qin's intentions. When Murong Yuan said this, he took a deep breath of ambergris and said, "King Qin already knows that His Majesty is suspicious of him, so he is so self-defiled, and letting His Majesty go out with the "Giant Gate" can make His Majesty feel at ease. ”

At this time, Murong Yuan suddenly coughed loudly behind the screen, Shi Xin's face was worried, but he couldn't solve it, so he had to wait for him to finish coughing. At the time of tea, Murong Yuan took a break, slowly crossed the tea, and said, "Alas, I still don't worry about Ah Qi......"

Shi Xin was puzzled: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Murong Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled: "Although King Qin doesn't want to kill him, but he ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shi Xin sighed, changed the subject, and asked, "Huaizhou is going to Goryeo, everything is in order?" ”

Murong Yuan also seemed to be worried, and after a while, he replied: "The big stick went with him, if something happens, they can also take care of each other......

At this time, a general suddenly rushed in in the big tent, and saw that the man had a tiger's back and a big beard on his face, but it was Hu Yue, I saw that he was sweating profusely, looking panicked, and gasped: "No...... No...... Oh no! ”

Shi Xin frowned slightly, waved his hand to Murong Yuan behind the screen, and asked, "Sixth, what's wrong?" Take your time. ”

Hu Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Xiang You'er, they secretly went out of the customs, and the eighth child followed......

Speaking of this, Shi Xin suddenly interrupted: "This old seven has already reported to him. There is Ah Li over there, Xiang You'er and they shouldn't suffer. ”

Hu Yue's head shook desperately at this time: "No, no, it's Harrier's sister, she's ...... She ...... last night At night, I also sneaked out of the pass! ”

There was a sudden "crackle" in the tent, and the sandalwood case in front of Shi Xin had already been crushed by him.

"Nonsense!" Shi Xin's face turned black and he scolded loudly.

He knew in his heart that as a general, it was impossible for him to go out of the customs to find it easily, and at this time, the two armies were facing each other, and the danger outside the customs was especially great......

Alas, my son, in case you have three long and two short, for the father, for the father......

At this time, behind the screen, a long sigh came out......

――――――――――――

Jiaoshan is 100 miles to the east, Shanhaiguan is 200 miles to the north, it is the small city of Ningyuan, Ningyuan City enters the sea 100 miles to the east again, there is an island name called Juehua Island, and the locals also call it Peach Blossom Island.

At this time, there are more than ten huge cargo three-masted ships moored on Juehua Island, and there are several earthen cannons on the hull, which seem to be not ordinary merchant ships, and the word "10,000" fluttering on the flag on the ship.

On the side of the dock, an officer in Fuso costume had a shameful face, bowed to another tall thin man in his forties, in Fuso costume, and with a round glass piece inlaid with gold trim on the left side of his sideburns, and reported loudly: "The last general, President Ono, report to Chief Oda, the last general has insulted his mission and failed to fulfill the instructions of Lord Sekihaku." ”

The Fuso chief named Oda Takatora ignored Ono, just looked at a white-skinned and bearded strong Western man standing next to him and smiled, his eyes seemed to be quite helpless, and he said a few words to the strong man in Western words. The strong man seemed to understand, forsythia thumbs up, laughed loudly, and then took out a Franc machine gun from his waist, pulled the trigger, and handed it to Oda Takatora. Oda Takatora took it, played with it carefully for a while, and suddenly handed the musket to Ono, his eyes turned cold, and he said in Fuso's words: "I, the Fuso samurai, have never had a living humiliated person, so you use this spear, and the jade will be broken." ”

Ono caught the musket handed over with both hands, and he didn't feel a little trembling, he knew that this Franc machine firearm was fierce, and it was better than the bird gun of the Qi Dynasty, and under one shot, he would definitely die. He was captured in the General's Mansion that day, and was released only half a month later, and then fled all the way, and finally escaped to Juehua Island, where he met Oda Takatora, the admiral of the Navy under the White Tent of Fujiwara Seki, who came to escort and supervise the grain transportation ships. He thought he would be saved, but unexpectedly, Oda Takatora made him commit suicide. He was trained in bushido since he was a child, and he felt that his escape was really humiliating, so he slowly moved the muzzle of the gun to his chest with both hands.

When the cold mouth pressed against his chest, the will to survive in Xiao Ye's heart suddenly rose, and he couldn't help but tremble violently with his hands. He thought of his wife and children, his "Travels", and the treasures he had collected...... Although the Oda Takatora in front of him has a higher rank, he is only half a block higher than himself, and he has no need to ...... He opened his mouth and shouted: "Fujiwara Sekihaku won't want me to die, and Mr. Shen won't ...... either" but suddenly heard a loud noise, Ono looked down in confusion, but saw that the smoke on his chest was rising, and a huge smoking hole had been blasted out of his chest and abdomen. Before the hole, although his hands were still holding the gun, it was a slender finger of Oda Takatora who pulled the trigger. In an instant, feelings of horror, panic, sorrow, doubt, and other feelings poured into his mind at the same time, and Ono's body suddenly fell obliquely.

In this compartment, Oda Gaohu took out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood-stained musket, as if he was very helpless, and muttered at the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, Mr. Shen......." After he had wiped it clean, he turned his head and explained to the strong Western man in Western dialect: "Captain Jack, in our Fuso, if the heart of the broken jade person has a relapse, the person who is wrong will help him to calm his mind. As he spoke, he crouched down and shoved the handkerchief that had wiped the blood from the chamber of the gun into the chest cavity of Ono's corpse.

The captain Jack frowned and was disgusted when he looked at it next to him, he had long heard that this Haidao general was cruel and abnormal, and today he saw him kill his own people so calmly, and he was also jealous in his heart, but he said haha, "Among the prey this time, there is a boatload full of girls from Jiangzhou Jiankang, eight hundred, well, it is what you call "jiankangslimhorse", and the Qi family you named, and a lot of grain was wasted when it was transported, you all have to count it!" ”

When Oda Takatora heard this, his thin eyes suddenly rolled up, and the cold lightning in his eyes soared, and in just a moment, he retracted his gaze. Turning his head, he called the deputy Funamoto Kiyomasa who was beside him, and ordered: "Kiyomasa, I will go to Jianchang to negotiate a contract with Prince Youyan for more than this month, you are responsible for negotiating with Jack, and he will give him all the money he wants, and wait for me to come back." Speaking of this, he looked up at the frozen sea and said, "Now that there is ice between Juehua Island and the shore, let those thin horses cross the sea with grain and grass, and the money will be counted if they don't freeze to death." ”

After the order, Oda Takatora was expressionless, and he didn't care about Jack, his cane was a little, he limped, and left on his own.

Jack saw that Oda Takatora was gone by himself, and he didn't explain to him, so he was furious, and then the interpreter next to him came up and interpreted Oda Takatora's words, and only then did he press down the anger of this bear-like Captain Jack.

In the winter of the eighth year of Daye, the area between Juehua Island and Ningyuan was frozen, and the sea was frosty enough for chariots and horses to cross, and even the men in heavy furs felt particularly cold. On the frosty ice, eight hundred poor women called "Jiankang Thin Horses" who had been captured by pirates, dressed only in single clothes, were chained by long chains, whipped and supervised by escorts, and constantly transported grain and grass to the shore. Of the 800 people, only half survived. And this is only the beginning of their tragic life.

Among them, there was Qi Xiangjun in the later "Qin Huai Liuyan". At that time, Qi Xiangjun was only a fourteen-year-old girl.
