"General Takamura, can I take a look at Yueyi Gege before leaving?" A boy asked.

"Nope." A man in a tight nightwalk replied firmly.

"Just take a look, just take a look, and I'll go with you, okay? General Takamura? The boy pleaded.

"Your Royal Highness, the situation is urgent now, let alone take a look, even if you stay here for a while." General Takamura refused without hesitation.

Naruhito looked at Takamura resentfully, and said in his heart: If you don't let me see it, I'll just want to see it!

Takamura got off his horse, jumped onto Naruhito's horse, and said, "Your Royal Highness, don't think about running away. The Emperor and the Queen Mother miss you very much. ”

Naruhito was dizzy, and said to himself, "Does he know what I'm thinking?"

But as soon as Naruhito heard the Queen Mother, he didn't have the same strong desire as before and wanted to take a look at Yueyi Gege before leaving, after all, they were the closest people to him, how could they let them worry about themselves? Leaving without a sound, this is already a very perverse thing, and it is not easy to be rescued by his own people, if he is arrested again because he wants to take a look at the moon Yi Gege, it will be a big trouble. If you can't say it, you will be implicated in these samurai, and even let the two countries go to war.

"Well, I'll listen to you." Naruhito said discouragedly, hanging his head.

Takamura smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, when you go back, you can ask the Emperor to come forward and propose to the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty." I think with our current relationship with the Qing Dynasty, they have no reason to refuse, not to mention that His Royal Highness the prince really loves that Yueyi Gege. ”

"What you said is true?" Naruhito turned his head and looked at Takamura as if he had picked up a gold ingot.

Takamura didn't answer, just nodded.

"Great, I don't think Yueyi would have known I was going to do this. This can be regarded as a surprise for me to her, haha...... "The child's state of mind is like this, as soon as there is something happy, he forgets all the unpleasant things before."

"Your Royal Highness, don't be so happy so early. We are now with the Qing Dynasty, although we are allies, but at this moment it is different, if what we are doing is known by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, you should know what the consequences will be, right? Takamura asked in Naruhito's ear as he spurred his horse on.

Naruhito thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that he will separate me from Yueyi?" ”

Gao Cun shouted categorically: "A manly man, how can you think about the love between men and women all day long? If this matter is discovered by the Qing Emperor, not only will the matter between you and Yueyi Gege not succeed, but even the matter of our alliance may be in vain! ”

Naruhito only felt a fever on his face, like someone had slapped him hard in the face!

"Who was that woman who was with you before? Will she betray you? Takamura asked.

"You mean Sister Fei'er?" Naruhito asked rhetorically.

"It should be her." Takamura was a little impatient, because he had to talk to Naruhito and ride a horse at the same time, and he had to be wary that Naruhito would not fall off his horse.

"Sister Fei'er, she is very good, since our fleet was held hostage by the people of Wushanju, she has always taken care of me, and she treats me like a brother. She would never betray me. Naruhito said with certainty.

"My brother? Your Royal Highness, please forgive me, you only have one elder brother to the Emperor, and you can only be the younger brother of the Emperor. Takamura Yoshimasa said rhetorically.

Naruhito replied, "I'm just making an analogy." ”

"No, it's not allowed." Takamura said as if he wanted to teach his son a lesson.

Naruhito got bored, so he stopped talking to Takamura along the way, lest he would make irresponsible remarks about him again.

The sky was bright, the fog by the river was still very strong, and occasionally a few water ducks made a "cooing" sound, but the surroundings seemed more silent. /.

Takamura jumped off his horse and said a few words to the other samurai, who quickly left.

Takamura paced over and said to Naruhito, "Your Royal Highness, please dismount." ”

Naruhito looked at himself so high above the ground, and felt a little frightened, besides, after sitting on the horse for so long, his thighs were already a little paralyzed, and it seemed that he had no longer obeyed the call. And Gao Cun let himself get off the horse at this time, isn't this going to be difficult with himself? Naruhito raised his head and said, "You carried me up, you should carry me down." ”

"Your Royal Highness, this is not something I should do, I am a samurai, and a samurai has the dignity of a samurai, and I will not do such a humble thing. Even if you were the Emperor, I would say that. Takamura haughtily refused Naruhito's order.

Naruhito felt that his face was very unbearable, and he said in his heart: When I go back, I must let my brother punish you well! Just wait for me to see! See who can have the last laugh!

Naruhito propped himself up with his hands, and his other leg was about to step over the horse's back very mechanically, but the horse moved violently. He did not grasp the reins, and with a loud cry, fell from his high horse, looking very embarrassed.

He slammed his fist to the ground in anger, tears of humiliation slid down the corners of his eyes, and there was a strong belief in his heart: I must become stronger! I must become the strongest person in the world and will not let others bully me again!

At this time, a hand reached out, and it was from Takamura. Naruhito blocked his hand away with a "snap", gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll get up myself!" You don't have to pretend! ”

Naruhito staggered to his feet, took a deep breath, and looked at the riverside, at the sea that would appear after crossing the river, at his hometown on the other side of the sea, and burst into tears.

"Report to the general, the ship is ready." A few samurai who had just left came back and said.

"Very good, you must be careful to escort the prince back to China, there must be no mistakes!" Takamura issued the final order.

"Yes!" Several samurai said in unison.

Takamura confessed a few other things, and gave a secret letter to his cronies, and then took the two samurai and disappeared into the mist on horseback.

The wind by the river was very strong, like countless silver needles piercing every crevice of clothing. Naruhito tucked his clothes together, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's go." ”

Naruhito was accompanied by four samurai, although they were all close associates of Takamura, but this time it was the prince who was escorting, and they did not dare to take it lightly, if they were not well protected, they might be implicated along with their families in Toei. However, if they were able to safely escort the prince home, then they would become heroes, and they would be revered by all people, and their families would be bathed in glory.

The five of them braved the river wind and walked to the shore.

"The girl in the drunken smoke building is energetic, one is more than a wave, haha......"

"This time it's all thanks to Brother Hu, your Hongfu, otherwise how could we see such a scene?"

"Uh, haha...... I told you, as long as you follow my brother Tiger in the future, I guarantee that you will have that once or twice a month...... Go to the kiln, haha......"

"But, Brother Hu, the money was originally meant to honor the official, and you spent all the money, how can you explain it to him?"

"Brother, let me tell you, this money can't be spent, haha......"

A group of already drunken servants staggered towards Naruhito.

"Brother Tiger, look, there seem to be a few people over there." One of the officials was not too drunk, and when he saw Naruhito by the river, they said.

Brother Hu wiped his eyes and laughed: "Haha...... What I just said, this money can't be spent! Look, didn't these people just bring us silver? Ha ha...... Brothers, follow me! ”

Although these people are all servants, do tolerance, and eat imperial grain, there are people who deceive good and fear evil in this world. When they ran out of money, they remembered that it was not good to explain to the county official, so they thought that those few were just soft persimmons, so they thought about extorting a sum of money in the past.

Several samurai saw them coming with bad intentions and were about to pull out their swords, but Naruhito glared back at them.

"What do you guys do?" Brother Tiger asked in his broken voice.

Naruhito stepped forward and said, "We are businessmen and want to cross the river to do some small business. ”

"Businessman?" Brother Hu seemed to smell the money, so he said, "Do you know that if you want to cross the river here, you have to pay a fee?" ”

"Yes, yes." Naruhito smiled and threw a look at the people around him, and the samurai took out a dozen taels of silver and handed it over.

Brother Hu weighed the silver in his hand, and his mind gradually cleared up a little, and he said in his heart: There has never been a businessman here who has paid any fees, how could they agree so quickly?

"Brother Tiger, they are businessmen." When a servant next to him saw that Naruhito and the others were so obedient to offer the silver, he became greedy and deliberately accented the words "businessman" when talking to Brother Hu.

They are all old partners who have worked together for several years, how can they not know what he means? Brother Hu hurriedly said: "Since you are businessmen, is this money enough?" ”

Naruhito didn't want to cause any trouble, and although he knew that he was going to extort money by saying this, he asked another samurai to give him a gold ingot.

As soon as Brother Hu saw the gold ingots in excellent color, he drooled excitedly and said, "You can go, you can go, hehe." ”

Naruhito thought that he could pass the test in this way, and just wanted to leave, but he heard another official say: "Brother Hu, you see that several of them are wearing night clothes, aren't they thieves?" ”

At that moment, several samurai reflexively pounced, and eliminated the drunks with three strokes and five divisions.

One of the officers, lying in a pool of blood, not yet dead, muttered, "Don't kill me, don't kill me......"

Step by step, the samurai approached the officer, the dagger in his hand glowing cold, and the bright red blood droplets on the tip of the blade still hung on it.

"No...... Don't ......" the official swayed weakly with his big open hands, his face full of fear and despair.

"Stop."

The samurai abruptly retracted the dagger he was about to insert, and when he looked back, it turned out that Naruhito had ordered him to spare the poor servant.

The samurai wiped the dagger on his clothes and said, "Your Royal Highness, we can't let go of this person. ”

Naruhito was puzzled: "Why? Aren't you killing enough people? ”

The samurai straightened his proud back and said, "Your Royal Highness, we didn't want to kill anyone, but if they don't die, our whereabouts will be exposed, and once our whereabouts are exposed, the alliance agreement between our country and the Qing Dynasty will also end." And we can't guarantee your safety. Forgive me for not being able to listen to your orders, but General Takamura told you to return safely when he was leaving. ”

"But he's dying." Naruhito excused the dying servant.

"Since he is about to die, it is better to give him a happy one, so that he will not suffer any more." As he spoke, the merciless dagger plunged into the heart of the servant, and in an instant he pulled the dagger out again, and the hot blood gushed away with a trace of heat. The officer's pupils began to dilate, and he wordlessly slammed his large hand to the ground, dead.

"You!" Naruhito was furious.

The samurai knelt on the ground with a puff, raised his dagger above his head, and said, "Please punish the prince." ”

Naruhito was already terrified when he saw this bloody scene with his own eyes, and besides, they only made this decision to protect their own safety, so how could he bear to kill them?

Naruhito waved his hand helplessly and said, "You guys clean them up, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”

A few samurai threw the servants into the river and sank with the current.

Naruhito and the others got on the boat they had prepared, rowed across the river, and came to the Toei ship docked at the seashore. Before this, Takamura had already prepared two large ships, just to prevent accidents. One of the leader-like samurai spoke to the guards of the ship, and then invited Naruhito to board one of the large ships.

At this time, the sun has already shown half of its head from the east, and the morning light shines on the river, shining with bursts of golden light, which is dazzling. Naruhito listened to the sound of the big ship churning the sea, and looked at the ferry farther and farther away, and sighed in his heart.

It's been almost a year since I left my hometown, but I still write nostalgia when I'm about to leave this land. Why is that? Is it because of the beautiful views, or because of the unforgettable people? Or is it because of the officials who were slaughtered by the river before? Those people did not die by their own hands, but they died because of themselves.

Naruhito suddenly smelled a fishy smell, and when he looked down, he saw that the back of his hand was still stained with a little blood, which was probably stained on the samurai when he pulled out the dagger just now. He smelled a few traces of blood and had an indescribable feeling in his heart, was it guilt, or fanatical excitement?

Gradually, the ferry turned into a black dot and disappeared on the horizon, while the ship headed for another horizon.

"Your Royal Highness, the wind is strong on the deck, you better go in and rest." A servant came out and put a cloak on Naruhito's shoulder.

Naruhito nodded, turned and went into the cabin.

The ship was already huge, and it had everything in its hold. The first time Naruhito went abroad with the flotilla of his family, he was on a similar ship.

Naruhito took off his cloak, handed it to the servant, and said, "I want to bathe." ”

The servant said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, your bathing water has already been prepared, and it is in the compartment over there. ”

Naruhito was very satisfied with what he had done, nodded appreciatively at him, and said to himself: It has been a long time since he has enjoyed such treatment. Although I didn't suffer much when I was with Sister Fei'er, I basically had to do everything by myself, just take the bath, which was to fetch water, boil water, and wash clothes by myself.

Naruhito turned into the cell, which was already filled with heat, and he smelled the familiar smell of bath water, the smell of his usual herbs. These herbs were only available in his country, and as soon as he smelled them, he remembered his homeland and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Naruhito took off his clothes one by one, put his hand in the barrel and tested the temperature of the water, and when it was just right, he lifted his somewhat numb legs and stepped in.

He scrubbed the blood from the back of his hand until the skin on the back of his hand was broken, but the thought of the desperate eyes of the servant, the thought of the blood that had been washed out of the bath water, and the thought that the blood would stain his entire body in the middle of it, Naruhito could not help but weep bitterly again—he could not go back to his carefree days.

Naruhito put on the clothes that the servants had already prepared, which were not the clothes worn before, nor the clothes worn by the Han and Manchu people in general, but the kimono unique to their Dongying people.

After more than half a year, when he put on the kimono again, Naruhito felt that he had grown a lot. He suddenly felt that there were still many things waiting for him to do. In my mind, Yueyi Gege's cute little dimples, Sister Fei'er's soft fingers like a mother......
