Chapter 141: Special Operations in the Seventeenth Century (1)
In the southeast corner of Hoshitori Villa, the pillar sits in the high corner watchtower, and a pair of eyes warily scans the open field illuminated by the sunset at the foot of the mountain. This is the number one post of the six secret posts in Hoshitori Villa, and it is the turn of the pillar to be on duty from now until 20 o'clock in the evening.
His Lu Mi gun was resting in the corner of the wall - not leaving the gun was Gongzi's requirement for the escort team, not to mention that after those Japanese people swaggered lightly and turned the entire villa upside down at noon today, the escort team held their breath up and down, feeling that they had not fulfilled their responsibilities as guards and let people break into the house, so everyone was even more vigilant.
In the afternoon, the escort team and even the guys received an order from Childe to postpone the day of sailing, and wait for the notice on which day.
Needless to say, it must be for Masuda Shiro, oh no, it should be Amakusa Shiro Shizhen's Japanese people, what other people think of the pillar I don't know, but he secretly gave a thumbs up to Childe's righteous act of saving people.
It is said that the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, it is up to this Shiro to follow Henk to do his best to heal their two wounded, and the pillar thinks that they should help Shiro to ambush - Chen Liuzi not to mention, the injury on this Doudou's face was also healed by Shiro, and people can't help but remember it!
However, Zhu Zi felt that since those ashigaru had been fooled away by Master Chen, even if the son saved Shiro's life, the favor would be over, so what was the matter with hiding him at home? Hurry up and let him go, our own business is important, hurry up and return home.
Just as the pillar was thinking wildly, there was a sound of talking in the front yard, and the pillar turned to the west to take a look, only to see Tsunazaburo Kato with a large entourage, walking through the front yard towards the gate with a blue face.
Chen Shangren leaned back slightly and followed him, and kept saying something, and he couldn't hear clearly from the far pillar, only hearing "...... Repeatedly emphasized the Kato family...... Don't give face...... Turning it into a mess...... these scattered words.
The reason why Chen Shangren sent Kato Tsunazaburo out was because Childe was not at home - as soon as the ashigaru front foot of the group of searchers left at noon, Childe and Liu Ergongzi went out on the back foot, taking Zhao Hai and Ling Ming, as well as that Nagasaki Tongfan Zhenglong. As for where to go to the pillar, I don't know, he dares to ask more about Childe's affairs?
When the dust raised by Tsunazaburo's convoy had settled, the early spring field was quiet again, so quiet that not even a bird could be heard.
Although the pillar's eyes were still fixed on the foot of the mountain, his mind was already in a mess and he didn't know where to go.
After a while, I thought about whether I should find a place in Dengzhou to buy thirty or fifty acres of good paddy fields, build a house, and marry a daughter-in-law; When I think of marrying a daughter-in-law, Xu Wanyun from Liaoyang is really good, just looking at it hurts; After a while, why do you want to buy land and build a house, looking at the skill of the son, I don't know how much silver I can earn in the future.
Thinking about it, he hit his chest like a sledgehammer - he thought of his father, his father who died on the beach, and his mother, the poor mother who died because she had no money to buy medicine, and the two words that his mother was still muttering before she died: revenge!
The pillar subconsciously looked at the Lu Mi Gong leaning against the wall, and a thought came out of his heart irrepressibly: Childe said that this is the best fire gun in the world, so what if he takes this best fire gun to fight with the Tartar?
You can kill a Tartar anyway! As long as he can kill one, even if he avenges his father, he will have the face to see his father under Jiuquan in the future!
Right! Avenge!
Just when the pillar's face was flushed with excitement, there was movement at the foot of the mountain, and he immediately put those distracting thoughts behind him and watched vigilantly.
Turning from the mountain was an ordinary Japanese farmer, dressed in a common robe, and carrying a small basket with some bamboo shoots and mushrooms on his back. The hat was so low that I couldn't see what he looked like, but judging from the slow pace, the farmer should be not young.
The farmer didn't seem to expect that someone would be staring at him in the quiet corner courtyard next to him, and he walked leisurely down the path to the corner courtyard wall, not daring to pass through the main entrance of Hoshitori Villa, but turned onto a dirt path facing the corner courtyard and continued down the mountain.
When he was halfway there, the farmer seemed to have his foot broken, sat down on the grass beside the path, rubbed his foot, and got up again for a long time.
The pillar could see clearly that he had hidden something under the rocks in the grass!
Then something that made the pillar even more astonishing happened, the farmer took off his hat and fanned the wind, and looked deeply at the pillar in the corner yard, and then looked at the place where he had just hidden, as if to say to the pillar, "Here is something for you!"
The pillar's eyes widened, and he seemed to be a little impressed by the face of the farmer who was about ten paces away!
Until the farmer's figure disappeared at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Zi still didn't remember where he had seen this gray-haired Japanese farmer.
However, he quickly came to his senses, and the other party obviously meant that he had something to hand over to him, but he couldn't come to the door directly.
After thinking about it, the pillar called Doudou from the front yard and asked him to go to the place where the farmer had just sat down and rubbed his feet to get something.
Thinking of the farmer's caution, the pillar specially asked Doudou to pretend to be out to play when he went out, and to retrieve the things in the most unobtrusive way.
Doudou answered, and after taking back what the farmer had left behind according to the method taught by the pillar, when the pillar opened it, his face changed suddenly—although there were still a few words he did not recognize, but the general meaning was clear.
After instructing Doudou to help him take the post, the pillar took the letter with only a few words and went down to the watchtower and headed towards the second gate.
Just as Zhu Zi was looking for Chen Shangren with the letter, about two miles away from Hoshitori Villa, a Western-style four-wheeled carriage was creaking towards the gate.
Two tall Western horses trotted forward unhurriedly, and it was Zhao Hai who sat in the driver's position and brandished a long whip - he was really an all-rounder the night before, and he would be able to catch a big car - Ling Ming sat next to him, his slender eyes dripping, and he seemed to be carefully observing his surroundings all the time.
In the wide carriage, Chu Fan and Liu Zhongwen sat opposite each other, and Fan Zhenglong sat next to Liu Zhongwen - this carriage was delivered with Xingtori Villa, and there were two other carriages of the same kind.
"Little Fu'er, your idea is crazy." Liu Zhongwen was silent for a long time and spoke.
"That's right! My thoughts are crazy," Chu Fan responded, with a mysterious smile on his face, "But have you thought about it?" Because everybody thinks it's incredible, we're more likely to succeed! ”
Liu Zhongwen's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, and he shook his head with a pout, "No, I still don't dare to imagine ......"
He said in a low voice.
"Just us twenty or thirty people, you want to rob the camp? …… Are you crazy?! ”
