Chapter 721: Robbing the Emperor on a Rainy Night
Ouchi Yoshiyuki, who was far away in Kyoto, was very sad, and he found himself like a beast in a trap, no matter how much he struggled, it would be useless, but he would fall deeper and deeper.
The Hosokawa family doesn't have this ability.,Ouchi Yoshixing looked at the whole of Japan.,Didn't find enough people to challenge him.,Hosokawa Gaogong can't do it.,Other people can't do it.,The only thing to worry about is to come to Japan.,But the mysterious Ming who stayed in Fangjin Port didn't leave.。
Ouchi Yoshixing still doesn't know who the envoy of the Great Ming is, but there should be nothing wrong with the other party and Hosokawa Gaogong joining forces to Yin him, if there is no support from the Great Ming, Hosokawa Gaogong will only dare to make a small fight at most, how dare he launch an attack of this magnitude against the Ouchi clan?
Thinking of Daming, new hatred and old hatred surged up from Ouchi Yixing's heart, Daming has been favoring the Hosokawa clan for several years, and now it has become even more intensified, and even sent the Jinyi Wei musketeers to help the Hosokawa clan fight the civil war, and that Daming envoy even if it is not his mortal enemy Duan Fei, at least he has a close relationship with him.
Ouchi Yixing thought of the past when Duan Fei insulted his subordinates a few years ago, and thought of the grievances that had been full of grievances in the past few years, his heart was on fire, and he suddenly threw the jade in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Come on, spread the devil!" ”
Almost at the same time, Hosokawa Gaogong was also wandering at home, worried in his heart, and now the situation has tilted towards him Hosokawa clan, but Hosokawa Gaogong couldn't be happy, and the unknown Ming Weiguo Gong was a thorn in Hosokawa Gaogong's heart.
Although the fleet of more than 100 large ships accounts for the majority of merchant ships, but those five heavily armed treasure ships alone are not something that any of the daimyo in Japan can contend with at present, no, even if the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan join forces, they may not be able to win, not to mention that there are more than a dozen frigates next to the five large ships, and they themselves are enough to sweep the waters near Japan and find opponents.
"Is it like before, can only hope for the will of heaven?" Hosokawa Gaogong smiled bitterly, Song Suqing kept sending back the news, Duan Fei, the Duke of Weiguo, was playing chess with him all day long, and only asked one or two casually about the news from the front every day, and he didn't even seem to care too much about the life and death of his own people.
The performance of the musketeers on the front line is also very confusing, as long as the musketeers participate in the battle, there is no battle that cannot be won, and the power of the muskets can be seen, but since the last batch of musketeers disappeared inexplicably, this group of musketeers of the new faction of the Patriotic Gong has many more restrictions, what rainy days do not go to the battlefield, the situation is not clear and do not go to the battlefield, etc., there are not many opportunities to work these ancestors along the way, so that the Hosokawa clan has not been able to win a complete victory.
As time passed, the conspiracy of Lord Wei Guo gradually surfaced, thinking of this conspiracy of Wei Guo Gong, Hosokawa Gaogong couldn't help but sweat, if he was defenseless and wiped out the Ouchi clan, then the confusion would be over, I am afraid that he would be a big idiot.
Hosokawa Gaogong carefully weighed the strength in his hands now, as well as the strength that the Ming Mission had already shown, and the Hosokawa clan could only win in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the right time and place and a sudden attack.
Thinking of this, Hosokawa Gaogong shook his head, even if he had to turn his face with this Wei Guo Gong in the end, but now was not the time, and he had to wait until the Ouchi clan was completely defeated......
It should be almost the same to take Kyoto, right? Hosokawa Takagong pondered it carefully, and suddenly shouted: "Someone, pass Kinoshita Awa!" ”
……
Duan Fei, who was writing at Fangjin Port, sneezed violently, he stopped his pen and looked up, only to see the candle flame shaking and a gust of wind blowing in.
"It's windy again...... I hope it's not a typhoon......" Duan Fei said.
Although the warships were all parked in the sheltered harbors, they should not be afraid of ordinary typhoons, but the passage of the typhoon would certainly cause torrential rain, strong winds, and southward roads, and there would be many more variables for the plan to be launched within two days, and the plan to withdraw from the sea in the face of the storm would not work.
Duan Fei looked out the window for a while, but he didn't see anything unusual, he closed the window and continued to write at the desk, if Ouchi Yoshixing and Hosokawa Gaogong saw what he wrote, they were afraid that they would be even more confused, thinking that he was playing tricks.
The situation in Japan continued to deteriorate, and it was strange and abnormal, and even if the Hosokawa clan troops came to the castle of Kyoto, it did not make the situation a little clearer.
Kyoto Imperial Palace, Emperor Hou Nara couldn't sleep late at night, since he handed over the letter of help to the Ming secret agent who secretly contacted him, he suffered from gains and losses and then difficult to sleep peacefully, Ouchi and Hosokawa invariably concealed to him the news that the Ming envoys had come to Japan, and now the Hosokawa soldiers are in the city, and the Emperor Nara is even more restless and restless.
In the middle of the night, it rained, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a bleak rain, just like the mood of Emperor Go-Nara, which was depressing.
A rush of footsteps sounded in the distance and quickly approached, and Emperor Go-Nara knew that the moment had come to decide his fate, he took a deep breath, pushed open the door of the temple, stood tall in the wind and rain, and looked coldly at the oncoming group of soldiers.
The retainer of the Ouchi clan, who had been ordered to pick up the emperor, was surprised to see the emperor staring at them like an unpredictable prophet, and he led the crowd to the emperor, bowed down to the emperor on one knee and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, now that the situation in Kyoto is severe, the head of the family, Sakyo Zhaoyi Ouchi Yoshiko, sent his retainer Oniko to take His Majesty the Emperor's family and leave Kyoto, and ask the emperor, the empress, and the crown prince to pack up their things and leave as soon as possible." ”
Emperor Hou Nara snorted and said, "Hosokawa Takagong is so powerful? Ouchi Yoshiko can't even hold Kyoto, if you want to go, you can go by yourself, I will never leave Kyoto, I have had enough days of hiding in Tibet like a lost dog, and I will never let my wife and children repeat my mistakes. ”
The devil knelt on the ground and said awe-inspiringly: "The head of the family never wants to see His Majesty the Emperor fall into the hands of the Hosokawa family, if necessary, you can use any means, please don't embarrass us who are subordinates." ”
Emperor Go-Nara was just a gesture just now, he had no soldiers and no power, how could he be able to resist the soldiers who were personally trained by these daimyo and had no respect for the emperor?
In a semi-forced, semi-obedient situation, the emperor and the empress, the crown prince packed up two packages and boarded the carriage sent by the Ouchi clan, the situation was indeed a little urgent, the emperor just sat down, the carriage began to move, and the Emperor Nara gently lifted the curtains, looked at the grass and trees in the palace nostalgically, and let out a heavy sigh.
The sound of sighs was still lingering in my ears, and the sound of powerful arrows breaking through the air suddenly came from outside the carriage, followed by several cries of pain beside the carriage, and the guards of the Ouchi clan shouted: "There are assassins! Protect His Majesty the Emperor! ”
The devil brushed and split two powerful arrows flying towards him, and shouted: "Don't stop, take the emperor away!" ”
The reaction and judgment of the devil were undoubtedly sharp and accurate, but the coachman had been shot to death, and before the carriage had started again, many black-clothed people had rushed out of the surroundings, and they rushed towards the devil and the others without saying a word.
The battle broke out in an instant, the two sides fought fiercely, some battles ended quickly, the victor continued to look for the next target, the battle between the victor and the victor became more intense, the devil was intercepted by one enemy after killing two enemies, both saw a strong killing intent in each other's eyes, and realized that the other party was an enemy who could compete with him.
Later, there were more black-clothed people, but in Kyoto, the power of the Ouchi clan was superior, when one of the subordinates of the devil Zi Xu lit the fireworks that soared into the sky, and the later black men knew that there was not much time, and they all tried their best to show a powerful killer, and even the devil was cut in the lower abdomen by the enemy's sudden knife in an instant, if he hadn't retreated quickly, he would have almost been disemboweled.
"You're Awa Kinoshita, one of Iga's three great ninjas, right? The sword technique is really magical, but I want to snatch the emperor from my devil's hands, but I'm afraid it's not qualified enough! With a flash of anger in his eyes, the devil pounced again, intercepting the enemy who had turned around and rushed towards the emperor's carriage from behind.
Both sides are desperate, the casualties are very heavy, fighting and fighting, the devil is secretly anxious in his heart, the fireworks have been set off for so long, why hasn't the support arrived yet? Could it be that someone else in the Hosokawa family is outside the palace to intercept those who have come to support?
In order to compete for the emperor, Hosokawa Takagong has mobilized the power hidden in Kyoto and attacked the Ouchi clan.
Although Ouchi Yoshixing was prepared, he was still caught off guard, and he couldn't get close to the palace to support the devil in the short term.
Hosokawa Gaogong sent many masters to rob the emperor, the devil was difficult to support alone, seeing that his men had been almost killed by the enemy who won with many, the devil shouted angrily, waved his long knife, forced back the enemy besieging him, threw several smoke bombs, exploded the smoke, in the smoke the devil injured two people in a row, and even Kinoshita Awa had to turn to attack and defend.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the devil broke through the air and broke away from the battle group, and in mid-air he shot a string of silver stars with his hand back and flew towards the emperor's car.
In order to defeat these hidden weapons, Kinoshita Apo can only watch the devil leave.
However, the emperor is Kinoshita's real target, and seeing that the devil is defeated, Kinoshita Awa quickly retracts his regretful gaze and walks towards the emperor's car.
"Your Majesty the Emperor......" Kinoshita Awa had just knelt down, and suddenly heard a short scream in the direction of the devil's escape, Kinoshita Awa's heart sank, as one of the strongest ninjas in the world, he heard a lot of information from that short scream.
The scream was undoubtedly made by the devil, with the ability of the devil, he was attacked in an instant, and was killed without any resistance, the voice of the devil before he died was frightened and frightened, not dead without turning a blind eye, which shows that the person who killed the devil is very powerful.
Kinoshita Awa didn't talk nonsense anymore, he interrupted: "You guys quickly take the emperor and leave as originally planned!" Others stay to intercept the enemy! ”
Kinoshita Awa's two black-clothed men lifted the door curtain of the carriage and looked inside, when suddenly the bodies of the two stiffened, and their bodies fell backwards from the carriage.
'Amitabha'
'Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable'
After two chanting, the sword light flashed a few times, Kinoshita Apo suddenly did not move, his eyes showed a strange look, and at the same time that his subordinates screamed and fell to the ground one after another, he also fell to the ground, and his body was instantly broken into five.
Jiang Yue looked at the scene in front of him in shock, these ten masters sent by Wei Guogong were really ridiculously strong, I saw Guan Xiaohan, who was dressed in a purple Luo shirt, carrying a bloody sword floating in without a point, and shouted softly: "There is a large group of people and horses coming here, quickly take the emperor and his wife and children, and go to the port to evacuate as planned. ”
Jiang Yue and the others knew how powerful Guan Xiaohan was, and without hesitation, they took away the three members of the emperor's family who had already fainted along with their packages, Guan Xiaohan quickly sprinkled some corpse powder on the corpse, and floated away before the subordinates of the Ouchi clan rushed to the palace, leaving only the remnants of the Great Uchi clan after the war, not even a corpse left......
