On that platform, there are tatami mats, which are soft and flexible to step on. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info proprietress led the crowd through the narrow corridor on the platform, and opened a sliding door on her right hand to reveal a spacious hospitality room. There were no tables or chairs in the room, but there were eight candlesticks that illuminated the room.

A few virgins somehow brought low table cushions and slipped into the room and took their places. Everyone walked to their places and sat down cross-legged.

The cushion was not big enough to cover the entire butt, and Li Tu sat on it, only feeling uncomfortable.

Xiao Xiangui said a few words to the proprietress, ordered wine and food, and decided the level of "Wandering Girl", and then returned to his position.

Soon, a girl brought food and drinks. The girl withdrew, and after a while the wandering girls came out through another door of the house.

By the standards of later generations, those wandering girls were not very tall, but they all wore half-foot-high geta. He wears a bright and gorgeous kimono, has a lot of exaggerated tall buns on his head, and has a thick foundation on his face. The wandering girls all drew thick eyebrows with pens, and they really couldn't see the beauty or ugliness at first glance.

Holding fans, the wandering girls begin to dance in the Japanese style at the front of the house. Sometimes dancing sleeves and wandering in circles, sometimes raising fans to convey affection, the dance is not very beautiful, but it is full of exotic flavors.

The men were excited at the sight of the women. The second helmsman, Xing Heyi, ran to the middle of everyone's position and jumped up and down with the wandering girls, causing everyone to laugh.

After the dance, the wandering girls went to everyone's side one by one to drink wine and food for the guests.

Wang Jian, the head shop, still looked like he was sitting upright, drinking wine by himself, and didn't pay much attention to the wandering girls around him. Xue Yiming, the chief manager, was the most flexible, sat next to Tongshi, and asked Tongshi to translate for him and talk and laugh with the wandering girl. Liu Huadian, who took the helm, and Younu, you and I drank one by one, although the language barrier, there seemed to be some spiritual communication. Xing Heyi, the second rudder, was the most excited, chirping and pointing to the east and west, using up his body language, hoping to communicate with the girls around him.

Xiao Xiangui had a smile on his face, but he seemed to be a little absent-minded, drinking wine and looking around.

After a while, Xiao Xiangui stood up and moved in front of Li Tu.

Taking out a piece of silver cake from his arms, Xiao Xiangui said with a smile: "Look, this is the silver given by the Satsuma Domain. ”

It was an oval-shaped silver biscuit, ten taels in weight, about the size of a compressed biscuit from later generations. Li Tu took the silver cake and looked at it, and saw that it was covered with various patterns and imprints, all of which were the logo of the shopkeeper or the family crest of the samurai. It's dense, and it's pretty good.

Taking back the silver cake from Li Tu's hand, Xiao Xiangui said with a smile:

"This is the silver of 'blowing the southern ruthenium', the silver of the Japanese country barefoot, and the lord of the Satsuma domain is a kind person."

"Thanks to you, I didn't escape this time, and I made a deal with the Satsuma Domain."

Xiao Xiangui took a breath, his eyes were a little out of focus, and he muttered:

"Then Chen Shengning must have ambushed me at the place where I must pass on my return journey. Such a good amount of silver, don't fall into Chen Shengning's pocket. ”

Li Tu didn't know what this Xiao Xiangui was going to say, so he took a sip of wine lightly and didn't speak.

Suddenly turning to the side, Xiao Xiangui said loudly: "I'm going to go to Hirado, find the old man of the Oriental ship, and buy the old flag of the old ship." ”

Li Tu put down his wine glass and asked puzzledly, "Oriental ship old?" ”

Xiao Xiangui nodded and said, "It's Li Dan, and the Oriental ship is always his number." This Li Dan is not ordinary, he is the leader of the 'Eighteen Zhi', the boss of the East Ocean, everyone obeys him and pushes him as the leader of the alliance. The things on the sea, he said a word, more effective than tomorrow. ”

Li Tu thought for a while and asked, "Can I buy his banner?" ”

Xiao Xiangui nodded, and said angrily: "On the surface of the East China Sea, the East Ocean Ship Elder has the greatest reputation. He had dozens of large ships, thousands of men and horses. In addition, there are more than a dozen independent maritime merchants that have developed from his disciples. If it was under the banner of Li Dan, the boat of Li Dan and his disciples would not be robbed. ”

"That Chen Shengning is one of the disciples developed by Li Dan's disciples! With Li Dan's flag, Chen Shengning won't rob me! ”

Stretching out three fingers, Xiao Xiangui's eyes widened and he said:

"Three thousand taels, one of Li Dan's flags sells for three thousand taels."

Seeing Xiao Xiangui waiting for his response, Li Tu sighed.

Putting the silver cake in his arms, Xiao Xiangui took a long breath and muttered: "If you buy Li Dan's flag, you don't have to be afraid of Chen Shengning!" ”

After saying this, Xiao Xiangui turned around and looked at Li Tu deadly, as if waiting for the other party to evaluate his idea.

Li Tu drank another glass of wine and said lightly:

"In that case, let's go buy a flag!"

Hearing Li Tu's words, Xiao Xiangui slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Okay! Then go buy flags. ”

#####

Three days later, Xiao Xiangui took Li Tu and twenty boatmen and sailors and went to Hirado by land.

Of the four islands in Japan, Kyushu Island is the westernmost island. The Wabozu of the Satsuma Domain was located in the southwesternmost corner of Kyushu Island, while the Hirado Domain was located in the northwesternmost corner of Kyushu Island, and the two were separated by land for 500 li. According to the footsteps of eighty miles a day, it will take seven days.

Whether or not you can buy Li Dan's flag on this trip is of great significance, but after all, there is still more than half a year to return to Zhangzhou, and there is plenty of time, so everyone is not in a hurry. Xiao Xiangui led the team to stop and go, admiring the customs along the way, and walking slowly. After four days of walking, I was only halfway there.

Although the island of Kyushu is not large, it is a place where feudal towns are divided, and there are countless large and small feudal towns. Each feudal town had its own independent military and administrative powers, and the method of governing the territory was also different, and when reflected in the land, it showed different characteristics. Some feudal towns are serious, some feudal towns are free, and some feudal towns are still a little chaotic.

On this day, after entering the Kumamoto Domain in the middle of Kyushu Island, everyone encountered bandits.

The group of fifteen bandits did not rob Li Tu and his party, but robbed a group of samurai. The group that was robbed was not all samurai, but two of them were samurai, carrying swords. There were also six ashigaru, that is, six infantrymen, holding spears. In the middle of the samurai and ashigaru, there stood a beautiful aristocratic lady.

The aristocratic lady wore a blue kimono and red clogs with her hair in a high bun. Long eyes, small mouth, although not powdered, but the face reflects a charming brightness.

And the bandits, all dressed in tatters, holding long knives and short guns. Probably coveting the beauty of the noble lady, these bandits howled incessantly around the samurai and ashigaru.

When Li Tu and his party came over, the two sides had been fighting each other for a long time. Seeing the arrival of Li Tu and his entourage, both sides of the confrontation were sensational.
