Chapter 170: Masanao Kinoshita
"Huh? There's an ambush ahead?" At this time, the pirates who fled behind finally caught up, and because the distance was still a little far, they only saw someone fighting in front of them in the blur, and the screams continued. Seeing this, the pirates stopped and fled.
"Quick, swim back to the boat." At this time, someone in the fleeing crowd shouted. As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately awakened, and all of them immediately changed the direction of their escape, threw down their weapons and even took off their rudimentary armor and jumped into the sea one after another, and then swam hard to the direction of the ship on the sea. The pirates at sea are basically knowledgeable about water, which is basically a way for these pirates to escape.
But this problem was already expected by Masara, so these pirates were doomed to disappointment.
"Ah, what's going on with those ships?" One of the people who were struggling to swim towards the boats in the bay raised their heads to the surface, only to notice that the boats had begun to move slowly towards the distant sea, and immediately shouted.
"Huh? No, what are they doing, are they going to sail and escape alone?"
"Huh?" Bursts of exclamations were heard on the sea. Some people even shouted in an attempt to stop the boat. These voices just revealed their positions, and the troops of the Luo family, who had already caught up, rushed arrows into the water that made the sound.
"Very good" Masato on the beach also found that the fires on the boats on the sea were gradually moving away from the shore, and Zhilu Dao should have succeeded in the sneak attack of his family's water ghosts.
"Don't waste arrows," Masara ordered, "line up along the coast, just wait for them to come ashore."
These pirates have nowhere to escape, unless their water skills can support them to swim hundreds of meters in the water and go ashore from outside the monitoring range of the Luo family's troops, they can only soak in the water and constantly consume their physical strength. Besides, after a big battle, how much physical strength can these pirates have? Once you don't have enough energy, you have to sink to the bottom of the sea. Otherwise, you can only go ashore and surrender.
All Masato has to do now is to stay on the shore and wait for the prey to come ashore.
Half an hour later.
"Your Highness, the seriously wounded pirates have been mended by us. and they shall be spared the pain of wounds; In addition to these seriously injured pirates, a total of twenty-three pirates have been captured this time, and Your Majesty does not know how to deal with these pirates, please make it clear to Your Highness." The leader of the ninja army, Black Hawk, reported to the authorities.
"Bring them back into the army of slaves in the realm. Now the territory is building a road for marching, and these pirates just came in handy", and with a wave of his hand, Masayo decided the fate of these captured pirates.
It's been nearly half an hour since the first battle. The pirates hiding in the water came ashore one after another to surrender and became prisoners of the Luo family. It's been so long, and the remaining pirates who haven't come up have either fed the fish or swam to a safe place to escape. The two groups of pirates entrenched near the mouth of the Okagawa River disappeared silently. And this place has officially become the territory of the Luo family.
At this moment, Masahiro was sitting by a fire. On the seaside in the autumn night, the chill is still very strong. Masahiro was warming up. While listening to Yiruo's report.
"There is a signal from the ships on the sea, and a total of eight Xiaozao have been controlled by us," Ichiruka continued to report.
"Well, let them stay on the surface of the sea for the time being, and don't have to dock," Masato commanded. Venture to the shore in the dark, it is easy to hit the rocks.
"At the bottom of the cliff, more than a dozen people were found who had been captured by the pirates, all but one of them was a young man who had been beaten and bruised. []”
"Let's settle down nearby for the night. Tomorrow let them decide for themselves whether they want to stay or stay, and they are willing to stay and settle in their own territory. Let's send them to Nodaka-cho," Masaro said. …,
"Yes, Your Highness" has no experience in dealing with these matters. Anyway, as long as these people are handed over to Togo Heiji, who came from Ming Rì, according to Zhengliang's request, it will be fine, and Dongxiang Heiji will naturally arrange it at that time.
At this time, a cloaked man came over and whispered softly in Yiruo's ear, as if to report something unexpected. After listening to this, Yiruo glanced at the rescued crowd on the other side of the cliff, and then nodded to the cloaked people who reported it, indicating that he understood.
"Your Highness, the wounded young man who was rescued just now asks to see you," he reported.
"Oh?" Masara felt strange. This young man knows the way, he can resist dozens of whips without giving in, and now he can even insist on walking, as if he is a man who has nothing to do, and he is really a man.
"Just let him come over," Masarashi said later. Such a tough guy, it would be good if he could become a warrior of the Luo family. Masato had already made up the other party's mind at this time.
Soon, two young men around 18 or 19 years old walked slowly over with the injured "man" in their arms.
"Kinoshita Masago paid a straight visit to His Highness and thanked His Highness for saving his life", although he was injured, the words of this "man" still seemed full of anger.
"Higo Mingfeng Fujizaburo Hidemasa is visiting His Highness," said the young man who was holding Kinoshita Masanao to the right.
"Shigemasa Yoshida meets His Highness," said the last young man.
What the? After hearing that the three of them reported to their homes, Masahiro was startled. Kinoshita Masanoah, that's one of the four heavenly kings of the Rì Houlongzao Temple politicians. And that Yoshida Shigemasa is the founder of Yoshida Yuryu after rì. Even that Mingfeng Xiuzheng seems to be a martial arts practitioner. Unexpectedly, he met three fierce generals here at once, and Masahiro was overwhelmed by happiness all of a sudden.
What we have to do now is to confirm whether the three of them are really the people they know about the Dao, and then try to turn them on the Luo family's warship. Thinking of this, Masarashi straightened his body, tried his best to hide the excitement in the Lord's heart, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Masanao is a Kyoto clan?"
"It's... How did you find out, my lord?" Kinoshita Masanao didn't expect that the adult on the other side, who seemed to be about the same age as himself, would suddenly tell his birthplace, and he was very surprised.
Masarashi smiled slightly, did not return immediately, but turned to look at Yoshida Shigemasa and said, "Your Excellency's father is Lord Shigegen?"
"Huh?" This time, not only Yoshida Shigemasa exclaimed, but even the other two exclaimed. The three of them traveled together, and they knew a little about each other.
"Your Highness, I beg your pardon for saying that this... It's incredible," Shigemasa Yoshida said bluntly.
"Hehehe, I know a little bit about numerology," Zhenghao pretended to be a magic stick without being shy.
"Numerology?" The three of them looked at each other.
"Hmph, the head of the family is the envoy of the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman, and the way you came naturally was guided by the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman" Seeing the doubts on the faces of these three guys, the retainers on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he thought it was rude to his head of the family, so he immediately spoke.
"Hachiman Bodhisattva?" The three of them suddenly felt a shock in their hearts, and then immediately bowed to Masashi and apologized, even the injured Kinoshita Masanao was no exception. Judging by their level of respect, it is as if they regard Masayo as the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman. It can be seen that Shinto is really undecipherable, and it becomes sacred when you just dip it on the edges.
"The three of them are impressed, I wonder if Lu Dao intends to be in his own family?" Seeing that the atmosphere was almost created, Masahiro decided to get straight to the point and express his intention to solicit.
"This..."The three of them were taken aback by Masaliang's sudden solicitation. Their original intention was to express their gratitude to this lord for saving his life.
"Hmph" Seeing the expressions of the three people, Yiruo was dissatisfied again, and directly scolded, "What do you mean by this?" The head of this family is the famous 'Eagle of Higashi Matsuura', isn't it worth your life?"
"The Eagle of Higashi Matsuura?" Ming Fengxiu, who hadn't spoken much, exclaimed. He is a native of Kyushu, and he knows the situation and news here best.
"Your Highness, you are the Eagle of Higashi Matsuura who shone in the Battle of Imari Bay, His Royal Highness Luo Zhengliang?" Ming Fengxiu said in surprise.
"It's under it" Masahiro didn't expect his reputation to be so big, and he was also shocked in his heart. In fact, what Zhengliang doesn't know is that there is a lack of entertainment in this era, so oral stories and the deeds of famous generals have naturally become people's entertainment after tea and dinner. And as the narrator of these stories and deeds, in order to attract the attention of the audience, he naturally embellished the details of the story, so the deeds of Masara in the Battle of Imari Bay have long been blown to the sky, and it seems to be miraculous.
