The weather in the middle of summer is as moody as a third-rate TV series, one moment with a breeze and a bright moon, and the next moment it is already a violent storm. In the night, a thousand-stone boat rode the southwest wind and turned its oars, constantly breaking through the deep and turbulent sea.

In the cabin, the leader of Jing Zhen and Fang Cai's raid on Meibaoguan was kneeling in front of Honggao's couch.

Half an hour ago, Hongtaka fainted from an arrow, but immediately woke up, and stopped his subordinates' frenzy in time to kill Jingzhen and the two together, and set a plan for all the people to board the ship and march to Wakasa Province, so he couldn't support it and fainted again.

After boarding the ship for a long time, Honggao finally woke up again, but seeing that his face was like gold paper, his breathing was dying, and the wound on his chest was constantly gushing blood, and the moon-white monk's robe had already been soaked in sauce.

Honggao coughed twice, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and after waving his hand to stop Jingzhen from reaching out to wipe it, he said intermittently:

"Child, you have always been very intelligent, and in three years, the poor monk has been unteachable in military strategy, politics and martial arts. Although today's performance is not perfect, it can also be a teacher. ”

Jingzhen cried sadly, "Jingzhen is obviously stupid, and I still need the master to teach for ten, twenty, or one hundred years, how can the master bear to abandon me!" ”

"I have seen mountains and seas in my life, I have had everything and I have lost everything. I have never let go of the burden of my life, and only the last three years of teaching you are the only happy time in adulthood. ”

"When I first met you, I only made up my mind to give you three months before I left in a hurry and continued to do what I had planned. But March after March, and finally until three years, the teacher was shaken again and again, and finally came up with the idea that it would be better to go on like this. Although I have failed Kubei and Takeaki so easily," Hirotaka said this, glancing apologetically at the samurai and ninja next to him, and continued, "But I seem to let go of my heart and feel relaxed. In this sense, the teacher should thank you well and teach the teacher to let go. ”

Later, the pursuit of being a teacher became to show what he had learned all his life and cultivate a good apprentice. Let him soar freely, control his own destiny, and don't follow the old path of being a teacher. Therefore, I am really sorry that the teacher is always too strict with you, does not care about your feelings, and makes you mistakenly think of yourself as a tool of the teacher. ”

Hearing this, Jing Zhen had already burst into tears, and whimpered: "Master, I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Please don't leave me, okay! ”

Honggao smiled helplessly, then touched the wound and coughed violently, and only stopped for a long time:

"Idiot, I'm angry again. Seek without suffering yourself, let it be natural. This is still a lesson learned from you, don't you understand it yourself? ”

"Gu Yun, a man is about to die, and his words are also good. Today, we should also start and finish well, starting with a question about the cause of this master-apprentice, and ending it with a question. ”

"Last time, I asked what was 'the world', and this time I asked what is 'life'?"

Three years of practice and today's impact and repeated collisions have already shattered Jingzhen's ability to think, he tried to say something to satisfy Honggao, leave without regrets, but he couldn't think of anything, couldn't say anything, and finally only boiled down to one sentence

"Jing Zhen doesn't know!"

Hearing this clumsy answer, Honggao laughed happily, completely ignoring the increasing amount of blood gushing out of his mouth, nose and ears:

"In the end, the question and answer is for the teacher to stump the little ghost, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy. His Royal Highness is a master of everything, and often makes his teachers believe in the theory of divine blessing and wisdom. But no matter the family background, wisdom, or martial arts, everything is too smooth and easy, so that the teacher feels that you always have the intention of playing life. In other words, facing everything is like cooperating in a Noh play, and although it takes a lot of effort and hard training, I feel absent-minded. ”

Jing Zhen was shocked when she heard this, and her lips squirmed a few times, but in the end, she didn't say anything to refute it. It's very different from the usual eloquent posture.

Honggao continued: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles. Although he doesn't know where your fate will end up, the poor monk believes that his ambition will shake the world, and he will not be limited to the Izumo domain. Therefore, only by going out and seeing the outside world can we understand how big our dreams can be. I believe that when that time comes, I will be able to answer the last question of being a teacher, and this is the last lesson left for the teacher! ”

"Okay, you can go, let the teacher leave some time for the two old friends."

With that, close your eyes and say no more.

Jing Zhen walked out of the cabin in a daze, letting the rain hit her face and tears mixed together. After a while, the suppressed wails in the cabin suddenly amplified, and Jingzhen hurriedly crashed into the cabin, but still did not catch up with Honggao's last face.

Picking up a piece of bloodstained silk book in front of him, the flowing font seemed to fly out of the paper, it was:

"Fifty-one years of sleep, a glass of wine."

……

At this moment, in front of Kiyomizuji Temple, ten miles east of Gassan Tomita Castle. Dressed in big armor and with a grim face, Nizi Kunijiu led the people of the new palace towards Jinggang, and suddenly a group of people and horses appeared in his sight to block the way.

After seeing the person who made the head, Nizi Kunijiu squinted his eyes and stopped his subordinates, and said to Nizi Jiu in front of him

"Matsuda reported that everyone who was in trouble tonight had traveled from the United States. On the orders of his father, Kunihisa rushed to Jinggang to intercept it, and brought all the relevant personnel back to his home for investigation and processing. Now my uncle is halfway to block it, I don't know what it means? ”

Nizi Jiuxing was also wearing a dark armor, and when he heard this, he just raised his eyebrows and said flatly:

"The family is unfortunate, I heard that the younger generation caused a big disaster, and a certain person came to take it back from the lock at the first time, and it was rude to suddenly not ask my brother for an order. Since Shiro (Note 1) has been ordered by his brother, he will automatically cooperate with you. ”

In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and the subordinates marched all the way to the point where they were sleepy and tired, so they could only rest and eat for the time being, and could not march. Please also ask Shiro to be calm. ”

Nizi Guojiu heard this, but instead of being angry, he said happily: "Uncle does great righteousness and does not avoid relatives, and I really admire the public heart of a fist, and we will work together to solve this chaos." In addition, I was running around for a long time in the middle of the night, and my subordinates were already exhausted, so I was planning to stop and replenish them, just to be your companion. After that, he also turned back and ordered his subordinates to rest in place and enter the rice water.

After everything was arranged, the deputy general beside him was puzzled, and still asked in private, "Your Highness, I am waiting for the order of the main hall to calm down this chaos, and now I have indicated that I am the one who protects his family with Lord Yezhou Shou, will the main hall be punished afterwards?" ”

Nizi Kunijiu laughed, "Do you really think that we are raising people today?" From top to bottom, it is clear that I want to go through the motions and end this matter perfunctorily, can I wait for a good scene, and I have to suddenly rise up and cause resentment? ”

"Let me ask you, Kanjiu is the grandson raised by his father personally, Jingzhen is the only heir of His Royal Highness Nosu Mamoru, and the Senjia and Kitajima families are the Izumo Taisha Shrine countries, and they are the forces that my father wants to vigorously woo, and several parties are in conflict and game, can the second generation of my small family swagger and take people?"

"You also know that in the three years since Dr. Zuo Jing's death, my family has been fighting hard day by day, and now they are about to use soldiers, and they even turn a blind eye to any changes on San Lang's side. Therefore, my father did not personally come forward to settle the matter, nor did he send other senior family elders, but asked my junior to come out, which fully demonstrated his attitude of wanting to smooth out the matter as soon as possible. ”

"First, the nature of the matter should be tacitly regarded as a junior conflict rather than a family strife, so as not to provoke further riots or over-interpretation."

"Second, for the sake of family stability, I will suffer this dumb loss by default. After all, losing an arm is not losing a life, if you don't delay eating, drinking, and Lasa, you can't also punish Jingzhen, a little ghost, with a life or an arm, so that His Royal Highness Yezhou Shou is guilty, that is really a self-cutting arm. ”

"Third, under the pretext of meddling in the internal affairs of the family, punish the Thousand Families and the North Island Family, and slightly weaken their tail. Although the two of them had a deep influence as a national holder, and the family had to rely on Xinzhong, it was still a taboo to meddle in the family inheritance. This internal friction can also make them sober and honest. ”

Therefore, it is his own creation to let Jingzhen, the little ghost, die or flee in the chaos. If he dies at the hands of the rebels, and there is an explanation from his side, His Royal Highness Yezhou Shou can only swallow the bitter fruit by himself, and the resentment in his heart will only target the Qianjia and Beidao families, and will not affect the unity of the family. If he escapes smoothly, then his father can expose this matter by facing His Royal Highness Yezhou Shou in the territory, and he has nothing to say if he is unwilling to do so, so he can't sit down and punish a heavy minister because of the conflict between children. ”

"Therefore, I did this not only to understand my father's arrangement, but also to give my uncle a favor. As for Quanjiu's dissatisfaction and resentment, naturally he will only blame my uncle for this obstruction, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

The adjutant general was greatly impressed after hearing this, and he rested without doubt.

After two cups of tea, the sky was already white, and the troops of the two sides who had finished eating marched to Jing Harbor together. After cruising around the sea, there was no gain, so I had to turn back to Gassan Tomita Castle.

At this point, Nizi Quanjiu lost an arm but his life was unhindered, Nizi ran away in the chastity chaos and disappeared, Nizi Jiuxing and Qianjia and Kitajima were punished lightly and severely, and this farce of the Nizi family ended in a hurry. Time has no memory. As the conflict between the Nizi family and the Ouchi family became more and more prominent, the Chinese region was surging, and all kinds of rumors about this turmoil gradually disappeared after half a month.

Note 1: Shiro, Niko Kunihisa's name is Sun Shiro, so he is called so, but he is actually the second son of Niko Jingjiu. Saburo refers to Shioji Kohisa, who is the third son of Niko.
