Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Demon Monk Returns

In the next two days, the things that made Shouzhou City feel very excited were still one after another-

Peng Shichou, the assassin of Chudi Xizhou, sent his eldest son Peng Shiyu to lead 3,000 Tujia soldiers to Shouzhou, and the last 4,000 elites of the chief of the Guiguan region also arrived, so far, all the reinforcements have reached 42,000 people! Lin Feng and the people of the three prefectures of Shouzhou were busy like ants on a hot pot, hurriedly arranging various things such as visits, accommodation, meals, weapons, and defense areas for the new troops.

At the same time, the support team of the Huang Zongwang family in Tanzhou also arrived, they took a boat down the Yangtze River waterway, transferred to Chaohu Lake in Xuanzhou, and then rented all the vehicles in Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui Province), and formed a mighty long line of 300 men and nearly 100 vehicles of all kinds to go straight to Shouzhou in the northeast.

When this long support team entered Shouzhou from the South City Gate, Li Congqian, Pan Long and other generals who were pulled over by Lin Feng to watch were stunned, and stared at the strong men who were very calm and even excited. Shouzhou is going to have a life-and-death battle with the north, and it is not a temple fair, why doesn't this person avoid it far away, but runs here?

Li Congqian really couldn't help it, and grabbed Lin Feng and asked again and again: "Don't these people know that Shouzhou is going to fight a big battle?" Why are you so happy? ”

Lin Feng pretended to reply mysteriously: "Don't worry, don't worry, there should be someone coming!" ”

It really made Lin Feng right, almost front and back, Quanzhou Manichaean Mo Hui led five hundred elite soldiers from the sect to arrive, and those Tibetan warriors who were dressed in black and covered with black cloth made Li Congqian and the people of Shouzhou open their mouths wider in surprise, and they could almost stuff a fist!

This was not enough, when the combined fleet of the Quanzhou Kang family and the Pei family rushed to the Shouzhou wharf, and a race of five hundred strong men lined up into the city, everyone's mouths were completely closed! This is because there are six black men in this support team who are wearing silk sashes and their whole bodies are as black as charcoal!

"Kunlun Nu!" Many people in the crowd of onlookers exclaimed in amazement.

In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City, which was already completely an international metropolis, was no surprise to people of all colors and appearances walking all over the streets. At that time, there was a saying "Kunlun slave, Silla maid", which means that the maidservants from northern Silla were professionally trained, all capable and well-behaved, just like today's Filipino maids; The Kunlun slaves from overseas are as strong as cattle and have a gentle temperament, both of which are "domestic service personnel" that the aristocratic and wealthy families in Chang'an City are vying for.

The biography of Tang Nanyi once recorded: "From the south of Linyi, they all have curly hair and black bodies, and their common name is Kunlun." According to modern research, the "Kunlun Nu" in Chinese history should be an Asian black Malay from present-day Saigon, Vietnam. Historically, Saigon was the largest slave market in Asia since the third century AD, selling slaves mainly to China, and this slave trade continued until the Ming Dynasty. Later generations have reasonably speculated that perhaps because the ancients mispronounced the pronunciation of "Chai Stick" as "Kunlun", which gave rise to the name "Kunlun".

Lin Feng was even more proud, and specially arranged for six accompanying special soldiers to compete with these black soldiers on the spot. The six sturdy blacks wielding nearly a meter long steel knives were on par with the special soldiers, and two particularly strong blacks also relied on their physical strength to force the opponent's special fighters to retreat several steps.

Just get the meaning! Lin Feng stepped forward to stop their fight, each of them rewarded the usual money, and took these men into the city with great power.

At noon on September 19, Li Zhensheng, the father of Li Yuanqing of the Northern Division, brought all the men of the whole clan over, and Lin Feng was shocked and was overjoyed again to bring 110 men of the Li family into the city and settle them down.

After having lunch together, Lin Feng was chatting with the patriarchs or leaders of the major families in the study, when Feng Jingyun walked in with a strange expression, leaned into Lin Feng's ear and whispered, "That Japanese monk is here again!" ”

Japanese monks? Lin Feng didn't react at first, and the image of Abe Qingming suddenly popped into his mind, making him bounce up and walk out quickly.

Outside the Thorn Shi Mansion, Abe Qingming, who was still wearing a white monk's robe, stood there, looked at Lin Feng with a surprised smile on his face, and said with his hands together: "Little monk see Lord Lin!" Behind Abe Harumi, there were six young men in tight black clothes, one race and one lean, their waists bulging, obviously all with weapons hidden.

Seeing Abe Qingming's unscabies look, Lin Feng would not show the doubts in his heart on his face, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Could it be that the master just came from Japan?" ”

Abe Harumi lowered his eyebrows and replied softly: "Exactly." The last time Shouzhou hurriedly stayed for 20 days, the little monk felt that he benefited a lot, and returned to Japan to report to our emperor and rushed to Shouzhou again, hoping to have the opportunity to learn from Lord Lin again. ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Lin Feng pointed at the six young people behind Abe helplessly, and asked curiously, "Who are?" ”

Abe Qingming retreated backwards, pointed at the man in black and said: "These six people are the guards arranged by our emperor for the little monk, and they are all familiar with ninjutsu, and they have similarities with the special soldiers to which Lord Lin belongs, and the little monk hopes that we can contribute our meager strength to the battle of Shouzhou." ”

Japanese ninjutsu masters? Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, this is a good opportunity to compete with the little devil's so-called national skills and steal his strengths!

Ninjutsu, also known as Hidden Arts, that is, stealth techniques, originated in the Iga region, and its initial form was the assassination technique in traditional Japanese martial arts, and then absorbed the Chinese concepts such as "The Art of War" and "Liutao", and integrated the relevant mental methods and secret techniques in Shinto and Buddhism, and finally developed into ninjutsu independently after long-term practice and hard training. The ninja family has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is difficult for the outside world to know in detail.

According to Lin Feng's impression of later generations, ancient Japanese ninjutsu was generally used for military purposes, and its training seemed to include camouflage, escape, hiding, fighting, and explosives, etc., which really had many similarities with special soldier training.

"Then I want to ask the master, are you really not afraid that once the city of Shouzhou is broken, a generation of masters will be scattered into mud among the ten thousand armies?" Lin Feng was not at all surprised that the demon monk could see through the future battle, and opened his mouth to laugh.

"Scattered into mud? Good humorous and chic statement. Abe Qingming still clasped his hands together, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he bent an unusually good-looking arc on his fair and smooth face, making him look more handsome and elegant, "The little monk has observed the celestial phenomena before he traveled, and this battle in Shouzhou is at least undefeated, where did the city come from?" ”

You are still watching the sky at night, you are not Zhuge Liang! Lin Feng secretly sighed in his heart, Lao Tzu didn't believe in this set at all in his life, if you have the ability, you will immediately give me the entire solar or lunar eclipse? !

Abe Qingming stretched out his hand to the six black-clothed men again, and said softly: "Lord Lin, from this moment on, the little monk and the six samurai are at the disposal of the adults, and there will be no complaints. ”

"Don't dare to drive! There is no shortage of manpower in Shouzhou now, and they are still important to protect the masters. Lin Feng dared to leave any ninjutsu master by his side at this time, and he glanced at the wind and clouds.

Feng Jingyun immediately stepped forward, played with the steel knife in his hand, hooked his fingers at the six black-clothed people with his left hand, and directly provoked: "Or, let's make two strokes?" ”

The six black-clothed men squeezed towards the middle, standing in a formation of one, two, three, and the Japanese in the lead said a word, all standing there with their chests crossed.

Abe Harumi explained embarrassedly: "Lord Lin, the leader Yanagi Shengjun is saying that what they learn is to kill the enemy, not to perform. ”

Lin Feng had a sneer on his face, and was about to speak out when two voices that seemed to be very familiar exploded in the distance:

"Stinky boy, I'm coming!"

"Lord Lin, the old man is here!"
