After Anda Taisheng's men left, Zhao Naruto couldn't help but say with a little mockery: "This guy's clothes are a little overdone. ”

Hu Yuelian blinked, in Hu Yuelian's opinion, that guy's clothes were not much different from the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty, and she really couldn't think of anything special worth caring about.

"That man is deserved with a jade pendant." Zhao Naruto replied.

Hu Yuelian didn't understand how to overstep the system with a jade pendant, which was a completely unimaginable rule in the Great Song Dynasty. But this is the Wa Kingdom, a magical land. Nothing that happened would surprise Hu Yuelian. So Hu Yuelian didn't respond to this topic at all, she said to Zhao Mingren: "Tomorrow we will go to Shiguo to see what the plans of the Japanese Navy are." ”

The next day, the mission was divided into two parts. Zhao Naruto led the Juban team to Shikoku to find the juniors of the Wa State Naval Army. Hu Yuelian and the others stayed in Kamakura for the time being to continue their diplomatic mission.

The steamer, which had been anchored deep enough in the water, had been signaled to start a fire. It didn't take long for the ship to head south. Kamakura is located a few dozen miles south of Tokyo in later times, at the southernmost point of the Kanto Plain of Wakoku. From here, it takes two or three days for ordinary ships to enter the Seto Inland Sea. The reason is simple, the Wa Kingdom did not establish a complete lighthouse system like the Great Song Dynasty. In the Great Song Dynasty, those brilliant navigators could sail the dark seas with complete reliance on the guidance of the lighthouse. In the Wa Kingdom, the dark sea could easily swallow up ships.

Comparing the Great Song Dynasty with the Wa Kingdom, Zhao Naruto was able to easily come up with dozens of huge gaps. However, Zhao Naruto found that he was already fifty years old, but he wanted to stay in the Wa Kingdom even more. Zhao Mingren's children are already Song people, and he also arranged for his children to study hard in the Great Song Dynasty and strive to be motivated. Usually, Zhao Naruto didn't even speak Wa Guo, but he was told by his children that his Chinese language was not good, and Zhao Naruto also insisted on speaking Chinese in the Great Song Dynasty. The reason for this is to make children feel that Da Song is their home.

Now facing his homeland, Zhao Ming has decided in his heart that he will die in the Wa Kingdom. There is no special reason, the mountains and rivers here, the sea and the sky here, are like magnets to attract Zhao Mingren to return to his hometown. And unwilling to leave.

It took a day for the steam ships of the Great Song Dynasty to reach the northeastern entrance of the Seto Inland Sea. It is the entrance between the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, and the Seto Inland Sea is a calm lake compared to the rough waves of the ocean. The steamship lowered the boats one by one, and let the members of the Juban team, who had originally come from the 'navy' of the Japanese country, disembark. When they returned to shore, they returned home.

These people also bear the responsibility of liaising with the local 'water army' and can also return to their hometowns to visit. All the returnees carried large bags and small bags, and some simply pulled small carts. There are all kinds of items that you can bring back to your family. Cotton, silk, toothbrush, sugar, brown sugar, rubber-soled shoes, towels, steel farm tools. Any daily necessities of the Great Song Dynasty can be brought back to the Wa Kingdom to make the family very fond of it.

Naruto Zhao is a native of Iyo on the island of Shikoku, and the Iyo Navy is the most powerful maritime force in the Wa Kingdom. Zhao Naruto took four retinues and landed on the land of his hometown. At the port, Zhao Mingren walked straight into a house that looked okay and swaggered straight into the main hall.

The young attendants of the house did not know what the origin of this old man was, so they saw that he was followed by four attendants, three of whom were ordinary Japanese people, and the other was a woman who was more than a head taller than the Japanese people, and the bridge of her nose was unusually tall.

Not long after, the owner of the house, a man of about thirty years old, walked quickly to the hall under the escort of a group of people, and after carefully identifying it for a while, the man shouted in surprise, "Is it Naruto-kun?" ”

"Qianyong, you've grown up too." Naruto said in the tone of an elder.

Although the two are acquaintances, there is no special intimacy when they meet. Naruto greeted him and said, "What about your father?" ”

"My father has died, and now I am the leader of the Murakami Water Army." Murakami replied loudly.

Zhao Naruto's eyes couldn't help but widen, he and the previous head of Murakami were the same as the peers, and later the two took different paths. Unexpectedly, this crusade against Sriwijaya will not be able to see each other again after a few years. This made Naruto very difficult to accept. His original plan was to discuss things with the previous head of the Murakami family.

It can be seen that Murakami Chiyong is very wary of Naruto. Zhao Naruto didn't think it was any strange. The Murakami family claimed that their ancestor was Genshibo, the son of Prince Gohei, the son of Emperor Murakami, while Naruto was a guy with no surname, who studied under the old 'water army' who was a great local water kung fu. However, ten years ago, Naruto was given the surname 'Zhao' by Zhao Jiaren of the Great Song Clan. This is a very valuable and certified origin. After Zhao Jiaren became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Mingren's worth doubled. The ancestors admitted by the Murakami family are not certified, and there is no direct connection between Murakami and Genji. Naruto's treatment was equivalent to one of the surnames 'Fujiwara, Tachibana, Taira, and Gen' given to Naruto by the king of Wa Province himself. The two are judged by superiority.

Perhaps because he didn't feel good about being so tense, Murakami asked, "I wonder what Naruto-kun came back for this time?" ”

Zhao Naruto calmly sat down on the tatami mat, and waited for Murakami Chiyong to sit down before saying, "Da Song wants to do some business on our side." I have been asked to do this to promote this. ”

"Is that what the Great Song Emperor meant?" Murakami Chiyong was a little stiff all over. To let Zhao Mingren come back in person, I think it may be an order from the Great Song Emperor.

"That's right. It was the order of the Zhao official family. Zhao Naruto said very confidently.

This conversation made the faces of those behind Murakami Chito change. Ever since they heard the legendary name of Zhao Naruto, the faces of these people had changed slightly. At present, the largest employer of the Seto Inland Sea Army was the Great Song Emperor, not the power of the Wa Kingdom. Through this organization, thousands of Japanese sailors found a low-fat, high-profit deal.

Murakami Chiyong's expression was even more nervous, and he hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Naruto-kun can talk about it." ”

Zhao Naruto smiled: "I haven't been back for a long time, I want to go to the Dogo Hot Spring to take a bath." I'll wait until I get back from Dogo Onsen. After saying that, he got up and left the village house with four attendants, and actually went to the Daohou Hot Spring.

Dogo Onsen is one of Japan's famous hot springs, located in a small town of Matsuyama in Iyo Province. Although it was early spring, the cold had not yet dissipated, and when I arrived at the hot spring, I could already feel the warmth of the hot steam. The boss in charge of the hot springs was still alive and well, and he quickly recognized Naruto when he saw him. After a moment of greeting, the boss gave Naruto a pool as he requested.

Naruto's waitress went in first under the guidance of the waitress here, and the boss grabbed Naruto and said, "Where did you find such a female ghost?" ”

Hearing such a question, Naruto laughed, "What a female ghost." This is the Europa, and the people over there are blonde and blue-eyed. ”

Although the boss didn't believe Naruto's words, he didn't dare to say anything more. A person who can get the surname of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, he is haunted by something that makes the people of the Japanese country feel very mysterious. Of course, this is also because the people of the Wa Kingdom do not know that the surname given by the Great Song Dynasty is completely different from the surname given by the Wa State. This kind of surname is rarely given to the Chinese themselves, and the barbarians who submit to it are very easy to receive such rewards.

Entering the hot spring bath with the maid, Naruto felt refreshed all over. This is a unique feeling of happiness in my hometown, and if I can stay in my hometown, I will probably be able to come here often to take a bath. I was thinking about it, but there was some commotion outside. Not long after, with the sound of clogs, someone walked in.

Seeing that the maid next to him didn't dodge, but just showed a surprised expression, Naruto turned his head and saw a woman in her thirties carrying a wooden knife straight towards the bath. Without waiting for the woman to make a move, Naruto sat back in the pool and said calmly, "Hinata, I just came back, can you bear to fight with me?" ”

Hinata stepped on Naruto's shoulder, the wooden knife resting on his neck, "Are you ordering me?" ”

"If you do this again, I'll forget where I put the gift for you." Naruto sighed.

"What!" Hinata was furious, she crouched down and grabbed Naruto's neck, the wooden knife rubbing against his head, "You still dare to threaten me with a gift?!" ”

However, after expressing his dissatisfaction and intimacy, Hinata let go of Naruto and sat down next to the pool, his feet in the pool, "Why don't you come to see me first when you come back." ”

"I thought Murakami was still alive." Naruto sighed.

Hinata is several years younger than Naruto, but she is of the same generation as Murakami. She couldn't help but sigh: "Murakami felt a little regretful when he was dying, and he said that it would be nice if he could also go overseas." ”

"Murakami always thinks more and does less." Naruto sighed as well.

"How long are you going to stay this time?" Hinata asked.

"I actually want to stay in my hometown." Naruto said with emotion: "Hinata, our Iyo country is also called Iyu country, and in ancient times it was called Yuzhou. Yuzhou is Henan, China, and Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is located in Yuzhou. This time I got the surname Zhao, it seems that there is a strange fate in the dark. ”

Hinata listened patiently, and then said impatiently: "I didn't expect you to go out for so long and come back after learning these incomprehensible things." I'm telling you, it's a very different place than it used to be. If you still feel that you can easily stay here, it doesn't seem easy. ”

With that, Hinata walked up to Naruto's maid and grabbed her by the hair so that she could raise her face. After looking at it carefully for a while, and touching the top of her head seriously, Hinata let go of her hand. dropped a sentence "I don't even have a corner, so I can use dim sum when I get a female ghost back!" Hinata took the wooden knife and left.

Looking at the back of his teenage playmate, Naruto had no choice but to sigh.

For the next few days, Naruto visited his friends every day and then went to the hot springs. After more than ten days like this, in the evening, Naruto was soaking in the hot springs when he suddenly heard footsteps outside. A moment later, four or five men with weapons rushed in, and as soon as they approached the bath, the maid had already picked up the bucket, grabbed a bucket and poured it at them. These people did not expect to be attacked like this, and for a moment they were blinded by water. At this moment, Naruto had already picked up his katana, jumped out of the pool naked, and slashed at the attacker with his sword.

As night fell, Murakami Chito was in the hall when someone suddenly ran in in a hurry. "It's a big deal, our door is blocked by the leader of the navy?"

"Are they going to make trouble!" Murakami said angrily.

As soon as the words fell, with a loud bang, the wall was blown open. Before the smoke cleared, many people with torches rushed in through the gap. They quickly surrounded the main hall, and under the light of the torches, Naruto put on a yukata and walked to the door of the main hall with a katana in hand. "Murakami, you didn't succeed in sending someone to kill me. Come and die. ”

After saying that, Naruto waved his hand, and several men with injuries were pushed to the side, and it was the guy who went to attack Naruto. Those guys were all Murakami's direct subordinates, and Murakami's face was as dead as ash when he saw them. He suddenly said angrily, "Naruto, why are you framing me? ”

"These are your men, how can I frame you?" Naruto replied coldly.

"I didn't send these people to kill you." Murakami said angrily.

"Is that why I sent them to kill me?" Naruto said mockingly.

This is also not appropriate. Murakami looked at the leaders of the navy around him, and he could see disbelief on their faces. But to be able to rally these people around Naruto means that Naruto has won these people over to his side. Now the purpose of these people is not to seek justice for Naruto, but to seize the dominance of the Iyo Navy on the grounds of seeking justice. The Murakami family is indeed the leader of the Iyo Water Army, but the Iyo Water Army is not the Murakami Water Army. Now the result of this kind of justice will inevitably be that the Murakami family will be settled together.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Murakami Chiyong shouted angrily at the people around him, "Do you really believe that I sent someone to kill Naruto!" What good is it for me if I kill him. ”

The leaders of the trolls did not answer. In addition to those leaders who have always stood on their own or are very close to Naruto, there are also many leaders who were originally under Murakami's banner. Looking at the silence of these people, Murakami felt extremely angry. What does loyalty really mean to these people?

"Young master. It was I who sent someone to assassinate Naruto. A shout rang out beside Murakami Chiyong. Everyone's eyes looked over, and Murakami Chiyong didn't have to turn his head to know that it was his most important retainer, the bookkeeper who had always been Murakami's father's closest partner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have sent them. Do not accuse the young master. If you want to kill, come and kill me. "The bookkeeper was almost fifty years old, and his hair was gray, and he looked as if it were all white in the light of the torches.

"Since it's you, you can come with us." Konohamaru behind Naruto stepped forward and said.

Murakami Chiyong also stepped forward to block in front of Mr. Ledger, and he shouted, "No one is allowed to take him away." If he takes him away, will not you decide what he says? ”u
