Chapter 45: When the Road Narrows the Road
When Akiko's younger brother Mingji was there to discuss hotly, Akiko shed tears in the back, she was first for her father's illness, and secondly for the brothers who were about to kill each other.
Those people were discussing there, and Mingzi quietly told Zhu Houzhao what they said,
Akiko said: "They discussed, after returning home, they would first lurk in Kyoto, and then my younger brother Mingji would first visit the Shogun's Palace, and then arrange an assassination in Kyoto while my other brother Nobumu was not guarded, kill Nobubu, and then they forced my father to hand over power on the sickbed." ”
"It's really a big conspiracy, exactly the same as when we were in the Qin Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, life is full of conspiracies, and I'm tired of watching it for a long time." Akiko said,
"Well, your brother Xinwu shouldn't be a vegetarian either, I feel like it, otherwise your brother wouldn't be like a great enemy." Zhu Houzhao smiled,
"Brother Xinwu is not stupid, he has practiced swords since he was a child, his kung fu is very good, but he can get his father's love, or from some small things, this brother, is very filial to his father, every time his father is sick, he will go to the temple to go on a hunger strike to pray for blessings, the general minor illness, he hunger strike for two or three days his father can be cured, generally heavier, he will go on a hunger strike for three days and then eat for one day, and then go on a hunger strike for three days, he will always stay in the temple to pray for his father, at first his father did not know, and then it was the temple in the temple that the Mingxin Master told his father, His father was very fond of him ever since. Akiko said,
"What about you, have you gone on a hunger strike to pray for your father's recovery?" Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, I'm going to go, it's just that Xinwu is very powerful, and he can focus for a long time." Akiko said,
"Since you believe that Brother Wu is the heir to the general's position, there must be a lot of guards." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Well, it is said that he has a lot of people, and there are also many masters of martial arts, but do you know that open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, I don't think these people in the Ming Temple are not bad, I don't know if Brother Xinwu can dodge." Akiko said,
"Since they are all your elder brothers, if this brother of Mingsi becomes a general, isn't it the same for you." Zhu Houzhao said,
"It's still different, Brother Xinwu and cherish the people, he always likes to go to the people, he knows the suffering of the ordinary people, so many people love him very much, this Brother Xinwu doesn't like pleasure very much, he is different from Brother Mingsi, Mingsi just likes pleasure and likes women, and the biggest problem in Mingsi is that he is very brutal, the reason why he was driven away by his father was because he killed people for no reason after drinking." Akiko said,
"Gratuitous killing." Zhu Houzhao asked,
"Yes, he was drunk and drove a car, a farmer on the road with a cow blocked his way, saw his car, the farmer wanted to avoid it, but the more he wanted to avoid the cow, the more disobedient, the Ming Temple was on fire, he stepped forward and pulled out a knife and killed the cow, the farmer cried there, and then he had to lose money, and the Ming Temple killed the farmer with another knife." Akiko said,
"Ah, the character of this Ming Temple is brutal enough, and it is said that if such a thing happens to the son of a general, he should be strictly disciplined." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, my father was furious, and immediately relegated him to a very small place in Hokkaido, in fact, he had heard of his bad deeds from time to time, but it did not have such a great impact, and this time the whole family of the peasant gathered outside the general's palace to seek justice," said Akiko.
"They may want to be fair." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Yes, I think they thought so, my father must have been very angry, and reprimanded Ming Temple on the spot, and then made a few hundred big sticks on the spot, and then demoted to Hokkaido, and also compensated the peasant family a lot of money on the spot, and they went back." Akiko said,
"It seems that he still hasn't learned his lesson this time, since he dares to come back, he is determined to fight to the death, and the net will be broken." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Well, it's up to him to make it to himself, but if he doesn't succeed, he probably won't survive." Akiko sighed and said,
"Don't be sad, the path he chose for himself is beyond the reach of others." Zhu Houzhao said,
Because of the reason that he has seen too much, Zhu Houzhao has long been accustomed to these battles, anyway, when these people launch an operation, they themselves will not care about the life and death of themselves and their families, everything will be as ordered.
At this time, the people outside were quiet, it was estimated that the discussion was over, and they had rested enough, they all went out of the temple gate and rode on horses, and galloped in the direction of Kyoto.
Zhu Houzhao and Mingzi walked out of the back, Mingzi looked at the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and couldn't help but kneel again, Zhu Houzhao stood aside, silent,
"Let's go too, hurry up, we are in Kyoto, I have to inform Brother Nobutake first, and then go to visit my father." Akiko said,
They went out of the temple gate, came to the back mountain and led the horses out, and they leaped on the horses.
"There's going to be something waiting for us in Kyoto, Akiko." Zhu Houzhao said to her,
"We're going to be together anyway, no matter what happens." Akiko said,
Zhu Houzhao suddenly became very warm, he smiled and nodded: "I hope we can finish our things as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains." ”
"Well, I'll go back with you, but you are not allowed to bully me." Akiko said,
"Haha, it depends on what kind of bullying it is." Zhu Houzhao smiled,
"Pervert." Mingzi pinched Zhu Houzhao,
Zhu Houzhao smiled even happier,
It's just a short time of happiness that can't make Mingzi completely happy, after all, her father is critically ill, and her brothers are killing each other, Zhu Hou looked at her, and remembered Timuxin, I don't know what Timuxin's situation is at the moment,
Akiko saw that he fell silent, "Don't worry about me, everything will be fine, you have a lot of things on your mind, but everything is fate, don't worry too much." Akiko said,
"Thank you, you are so understanding, and you know to comfort me at this time." Zhu Houzhao said,
"People just comfort each other and get on with it, don't they, otherwise how can we live this life?" Akiko sighed,
"Well, yes." Zhu Houzhao said,
The horses galloped all the way, and they knew that they couldn't be in too much of a hurry, because the people of the Ming Temple were in front, and they would rest after walking for a while.
In a parting place, Mingzi took Zhu Houzhao onto another road,
"I guess they won't go this way, let's go this way, and then we just go faster and try to get to Kyoto before them." Akiko said,
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao said,
"You wait for me." Akiko said that she took out a black mask and covered her face,
"It's better to be careful just in case." Akiko said,
"Yes, if we do, we'll get rid of them quickly." Zhu Houzhao said,
They hurried to Kyoto,
But the road was narrow, and when they approached Kyoto, they saw a group of people in front of them.
Mingzi and Zhu Houzhao saw that it was the team of people from the Ming Temple, and there were probably dozens of them.
"I was wrong, I only thought of this road being secluded, and I didn't expect them to think the same way." Akiko was a little nervous,
At this time, the people in front of them had already seen them,
"Slow down." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Okay." Akiko said,
They are slowly speeding forward at a pace that is neither fast nor slow,
The people of the Ming Temple all stopped at the moment, because they were still Mercedes people in such a night, and they were very curious about each other.
When Zhu Houzhao and Mingzi rushed past the Ming Temple and their side, Mingzi just turned his head slightly and pretended to look at the Ming Temple, and Zhu Houzhao swept them seriously.
Zhu Houzhao saw that they were all masked with masks,
He wanted to laugh, he wanted to be glad he wasn't masked, otherwise the other party would be even more suspicious.
At this time, the horse moved forward, and soon passed the people in the Ming Temple,
After walking away, Zhu Houzhao said to Mingzi, "Speed up, the sooner the better." ”
"yes, okay." Akiko replied, of course, at this moment, the farther away from each other, the better,
