Chapter 118: Wind and Rain
Today's second update, ask for collections, ask for recommendations.
————————————————
On the morning of July 22, the ninth year of astronomy. Before I knew it, it had been two days since I arrived in Hakata, and the first batch of supplies for the Kamiya family (50 sets of simple and sufficient, 100 bows and a large number of arrows) had been raised, and even the 50 bows and 50 standard spears sent by Kamiya Shaoce were also sent to the Luo family's merchant ship, guarded by several cloaks.
Just as Masaro was about to leave Hakata, heavy rain fell on July 22, and Masara, who had not been surprised, had to stay in Shofukuji Temple temporarily. In the past two days, the situation seems to have deteriorated in vain, as Sagara Takeren said. The ninja in charge of covert protection has already reported several times, and several suspicious characters have appeared outside the Shofukuji Temple. If there is no accident, these are the people sent by the Harada family, and they didn't expect the other party to find the door so quickly. What's even more strange is that Shengfukuji, as the landlord, unbelievably allowed these spies to monitor outside and was indifferent, which made Zhengliang smell of conspiracy.
"Your Highness" Just as Masashi was considering whether to withdraw from the Shofukuji Temple immediately, a cloaked man hurriedly walked in and reported, "A waiter from the Kamiya family asked to see him. ”
"Oh?" When this sensitive moment comes, what does the Kamiya family mean, "Let him in." ”
As the order was given, soon a young surname about 13 years old walked in, the other party obviously came in the heavy rain, and when he walked in, his whole body was still dripping with rain. Masara looked at the person carefully, it was a waiter of the Kamiya family who came with the Kamiya Shaoce the day before yesterday.
The waiter saluted respectfully to Masahiro, then tore his shirt, took out a somewhat damp letter from it and respectfully handed it to Masahiro, "My lord, this is a secret letter that the head of the family asked the villain to bring to you, please burn it immediately after reading it." ”
Hearing this, Masahiro immediately spread out the letter, the words on the letter were already a little blurred, but he could still make out the content, and he saw a line of words written on it, "The Harada family's forces are gathering, and the Shengfuji Temple is afraid that there is fraud in the secret, so leave quickly." ”
After reading the secret letter, Masato was like being slapped on the head, and he was scared into a cold sweat, and after calming down a little, he immediately said to Kizo Shigetuda and Yinuo who were waiting on the side, "Gather people immediately, and we will evacuate immediately." ”
When the two heard this, they also knew that the situation was serious, and they immediately took the order and left. In a few moments, all the people were assembled.
"My lord, please come with me. The head of my family said that after the adults read the secret letter, the villain will be responsible for leading the way, and now it is time to leave here while it is raining heavily. There is a path that can be detoured from the side gate of Seifukuji Temple to the port," said the waiter of the Kamiya family.
"Okay, you lead the way," Masarashi said in a deep voice.
I still don't know what role the Shengfu Temple plays in this, once the other party doesn't let everyone go out through the side door, then Masahiro will become someone else's urn.
Under the guidance of the attendants, the group soon came to the side gate of Shengfu Temple, and unexpectedly, several monks guarding the door opened the side door very happily. This made Masarashi wonder if the other party had another trick. But the matter has come to this point, and there is no need for Zhengliang to hesitate, with Zhengliang's order, everyone hugged Zhengliang out of the side door, and then threw himself into the drifting rain.
Half an hour later.
"Your Highness" was in a mountain road far away from Shofukuji Temple, and the team temporarily rested in the rain, and the ninja Ichiruka, who went to inquire about the news, also came back at this time to report, "The Ashigaru of the Harada family, who originally guarded this mountain road, has been evacuated due to the rain, and the front is safe for the time being." ”
"Okay, everybody, hurry up," Masarashi ordered. It seems that the Harada family is bound to win it, so let's brave the rain to move forward, once the rain stops, I don't know what will happen to the road, and if it falls into the encirclement of the enemy, it will be troublesome. …,
After a difficult trek in the rain for more than half an hour, Zhengliang and his party finally came to the port where the Luo family's merchant ship was located, and everyone on the ship, who had already been notified in advance, immediately welcomed Zhengliang into the cabin.
"Your Highness, someone from the Harada family came to the port this morning to investigate, but fortunately we were prepared according to His Highness's instructions, and we were able to avoid the other party's investigation," a cloaked man who was in charge of guarding the ship left behind reported.
"I didn't expect the other party to disregard his identity and fight for a trivial matter," Zheng Liang thought in his heart, he still underestimated the measurement of these guys, and he really couldn't compare with the people of the Ming Kingdom. Looking at the embarrassed appearance of everyone, Masara asked, "How is it, are all the people here?" When we're ready, we'll set sail as soon as we're ready. ”
"Huh? Your Highness, no," Yinuo immediately admonished, "Sailing in the wind and rain is very dangerous, please think twice, Your Highness." Everyone nodded in agreement. After braving the wind and rain for an hour, everyone was a little tired.
"Hmph, I will personally stand on the bow of the boat and pray to the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman, with the blessing of the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman, even if it is a big storm, you will definitely be able to be safe and sound, are you not even as good as me?" Masato said confidently.
After seeing Masayo's performance, the people who were originally a little demoralized immediately became in high spirits and began to take action. Soon, with the efforts of everyone, the merchant ship of the Luo family slowly moved in the wind and rain. Following the Luo family's merchant ships at the same time, there are also two merchant ships of the Shenwu family, and the two merchant ships in charge of these two merchant ships are a group of "police solids" who have been cooperating with the Shenwu family, many of these "police guards" were originally pirates, and they often come and go in the wind and rain, and they have long been accustomed to sailing in stormy weather.
Masara stood on the bow of the ship against the wind and rain, letting the rain hit his body, looking at the port of Hakata that was getting farther and farther away, and silently thought in his heart: Hakata, I will come back; Harada family, I will definitely repay this revenge......
At the same time, in a meditation room in Shengfu Temple, a little monk hurriedly reported, "Master, everyone from the Luo family has fled through the side door of the main house, and I am afraid that this matter cannot be explained to the Harada family." ”
Master Chan Rong sat on the futon, staring at the heavy rain outside the door with fixed eyes, and did not respond immediately, before he said, "Kongru, you were worshiped as a master when you were 6 years old, right?" ”
"Yes, Master. When the disciple was 6 years old, he was begging on the streets and happened to meet the master. If it weren't for the master's acceptance, the disciple would have become a pile of loess on the side of the road," although he was surprised by Master Chan Rong's question, the little monk still replied respectfully.
"Well, it's been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and I still remember when you first entered the temple, but you were very unstable," Master Chan Rong said with a blank face.
"Yes, Master. When the disciple first entered the door, every time the master assigned a task, he always did this task, and then he remembered another task, and he was always unable to complete the master's task in time," the little monk replied a little embarrassed.
After saying that, the little monk looked at Master Chan Rong again, expecting further instructions from the master, but this time the master seemed to be lost in thought, and still did not say anything.
Time passed slowly like this, but soon the little monk seemed to think of something, his whole body trembled, and he suddenly kowtowed desperately to Master Chan Rong and admitted his mistake, "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong, please Master don't drive the disciple out of the mountain gate." ”
"What's wrong?" , Master Chan Rong still said blankly.
"Disciples should not fornicate with the Harada family and leak the information in the temple to the temple," the little monk kowtowed and said with a crying voice, "Please be merciful, Master, and don't expel the disciple from the mountain gate." ”…,
"Hey, I thought that you didn't make a big mistake this time, so I will spare you from death, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, and you don't need to be responsible for the gate, so go to the firewood room in the future to obey orders." Master Chan Rong sighed and said in the end.
"Yes, the disciple is commanded. Thank you Master for your kindness, the disciple must have thought about it" After hearing Master Chan Rong's most disposition, the little monk immediately kowtowed and thanked him as if he had been amnestied.
Master Chan Rong waved his hand and motioned for the little monk to leave, then looked up at the sky and said to himself, "Old friend, I can only help here this time, as for the strange lord you are talking about, whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on his creation." ”……
In a private house in Hakata Town, at this time, an angry roar suddenly came out, "What, people have already left Seifukuji Temple?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, the news from the Shofukuji Temple is that the head of the Luo family has left the Shofukuji Temple half an hour ago, and the exact whereabouts cannot be ascertained for the time being, but we have already checked the places near Hakata Town and found nothing," a samurai reported on his knees.
"Rice buckets, all rice buckets" Harada, who was in his 20s, was furious. In fact, when he heard his uncle's report that he was in trouble the day before yesterday, Harada thought that it was his uncle who was out in trouble, but when he saw the information sent by his uncle, he immediately changed his mind and ignored it, because from the information he saw the three words Higashi Matsuura. All along, the Harada family has tried to extend the power to Hizen Higashimatsuura County on the other side of the mountain range, and now the opportunity has come, as long as this little Haoqiang is forced to surrender or imprison this little Haoqiang, he can indirectly gain a foothold in Higashimatsuura, which is conducive to the Harada family gradually encroaching on Higashimatsuura, so he turned a blind attitude and took the initiative to plan a conspiracy to capture the head of the Luo family alive. Now the plan that had been planned for two days was aborted, and I couldn't help but be furious.
"Since you can't find anyone on land, it's probably on the water. Quick, immediately send someone to forcibly search the ships in the harbor, and you must find this person," Harada roared solemnly. In fact, the Harada family's intelligence ability is also limited, if it weren't for the little monk in the Shengfu Temple who happened to be in charge of the tea party of the three of them that day, and overheard the conversation of everyone, there would be absolutely no one else who knew the true identity of Masayo Michi, so he leaked this important news and almost put Masara in danger.
The samurai who had been pardoned immediately took the order and left. For a time, the port of Hakata was in chaos, and the reckless behavior of the Harada family instantly offended a large number of heroes. And Masashi, who was far above the sea, didn't know what to do, and his decision to sail in the rain saved everyone from disaster.
