Chapter 124: The Battle of the Two Shores
"What is a ninja?" Tang Xiyao asked.
Erqi frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It is said that he is a martial artist who has been cultivated in an extremely cruel way, and he is good at concealment and disguise. They do not pursue breakthroughs in martial arts, but exist for special purposes, such as probing and assassination. He pointed to the wooden door that fell to the ground with his hand, and said, "I heard that ninjas can shrink their bodies to a degree that ordinary people can't imagine, hide in a very small space, and don't eat or drink for days, just to wait for the best time to strike." ”
Ye Suiyun interjected: "Don't care about the ninja, what's going on here, things seem to be a little unusual." ”
There was a commotion from the depths of the camp, and it seemed that someone was shouting loudly. The three of them were startled and followed the noise to find them. When I walked to one place, I saw hundreds of samurai in maroon costumes running and talking, arguing, and I didn't know what was happening.
Ye Suiyun was about to ask, but Xuanzi Erqi stopped him with his eyes and whispered: "From now on, you are the Japanese envoy Prince An Ji, and you can't talk casually." Ye Suiyun immediately straightened up with his chest straight, and lowered the lacquer crown on his head to block his eyes.
At this time, among the samurai in the distance, someone found three uninvited guests here, drew their knives, pointed at this side and shouted. The rest of the many warriors were shouted by the man, and they also drew their swords in their hands, and they all rushed towards with a roar, seeing that the momentum was to dissect the three of them on the spot.
Erqi took a step forward and shouted at them, thinking that he was telling them to stop. Seeing the warriors rushing to his eyes, Tang Xiyao paused behind him and said, "What are you still standing stupidly for?" Hurry up. ”
Ye Suiyun reacted, his palms were wrong, and the 'blue waves churned' pierced and struck, and a cadre of warriors crackled and fell to the ground, moaning uncontrollably.
Erqi said a few words to the crowd, and one of the samurai, who seemed to be taking the lead, got up, rubbed his waist, and replied with a wrinkled face. The two talked for a while, Erqi said something, and took out the seal of Prince An Ji to show it to the other party, the warrior's face changed, he glanced at Ye Suiyun in surprise, and hurriedly yelled at the other warriors, everyone was immediately terrified, and they all came to Ye Suiyun and knelt on the ground, wah, wow, wow, wow, I don't know what to say.
Although Ye Suiyun didn't understand it at all, he remembered Erqi's instructions and only bowed his head slightly. As if they had been granted amnesty, the samurai retreated in an uproar.
At this time, Erqi approached and whispered: "It turns out that the camp was in chaos just now because an assassin entered the camp with the intention of assassinating the ghost red deer, so all the samurai ran to protect it." Just as we arrived, these people thought we were also among the Assassins, so they drew their swords against each other. I said you're Anji, and these guys are terrified. ”
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding, but it's not scary." Ye Suiyun said with a smile.
"Although it was a misunderstanding, according to the rules of Japan, if you offend Your Holiness, you must apologize, so you nodded just now, which is equivalent to pardoning them." Erqi said. Although Ye Suiyun wanted to ask what 'seppuku' was, he felt a little palpitating just by hearing the word, so he didn't ask again.
Tang Xiyao nodded and said, "It turned out that there was an assassin infiltrated, it seems that the ninja we met was in charge of breaking the back, guarding the gate and not letting the helpers enter." ”
At this time, there was another commotion, and I saw a dozen samurai carrying something like a large tent and came to their knees. Erqi said with the corner of his mouth: "Sit down." Ye Suiyun didn't dare to hesitate, and sat down as he said. Everyone stood up and walked towards the village, Tang Xiyao followed behind, and said that this big sedan chair was really interesting.
After entering a courtyard, I saw that the ground was full of kneeling people, and the leader was pale, with white gauze tied around his shoulders, and blood stains on it, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
Erqi was the first to speak, and asked in Japanese: "The following is the ghost horse of the Moe Department?" ”
The wounded warrior didn't dare to raise his head, and replied, "If you reply to the envoy, it's the young general." ”
Erqi nodded and said, "The prince has an order, let the subordinates retreat." ”
The ghost red deer also greeted, and except for Yiwu, the rest of the people bent down and retreated one after another. When the people were gone, Erqi asked what had happened.
Ghost Horse's face was angry, and he said, "If you reply to the envoy, this is all a good thing done by that kid in the ghost village." Fuck, I even instructed the upper part to secretly scheming against me. ”
Yi Wu said on the side: "In the past, we fought with the upper residence department in the past, but I didn't expect them to come to Yin this time and want to take the captain's life." If it hadn't been inadvertently blocked by Yasuo just now, Captain Shikaya would have died. Hey, it's a pity that Kang Fujun died. ”
Nichi probably understood that when Kamijihama's Onimura Kamiki sent some 'Upper Secret Shinobi' to assassinate him, he somehow happened to be blocked by a samurai named Yasuo with a fatal sword, so that the onima escaped and led the entire village over, and the assassin immediately fled when he saw the defeat.
Erqi returned to the big tent and told Ye Tang and the others about the matter, Tang Xiyao said: "These things have nothing to do with us, let's hurry up and leave when we go to the chart." These people have strange hairstyles that are uncomfortable to look at. ”
Erqi turned around and said, "The prince came to inspect Rilun Mountain City and Er and other departments on the orders of the Emperor this time, but he didn't expect it to be such a miasma. The prince was not very happy, and asked you to hand over the Tang Haitu as a punishment. ”
Ghost Horse and Yiwu looked at each other, threw themselves to the ground, and shouted: "My lord is wronged, we have been ordered to garrison this place, and we have always guarded ourselves, and we dare not fail to take responsibility." It's really ... It's really that guy from the ghost village, relying on Nomura Ichiro's support, not following the orders of the head city, provoking trouble several times and killing many of our brothers, which is really a big ill-intentioned. If the adults want to punish us, the small ones should be willing to accept it, but if the ghost village is allowed to go unpunished, then I will wait for death to turn a blind eye, and ask the adults to uphold justice. "The upper and lower charts have always been kept by the leaders of the two departments, which is actually equivalent to a symbol of status, and if it is confiscated, it is tantamount to dismissal, so the ghost red deer is also in such a great disaster.
Yi Wu also said to the side: "Captain Ghost Horse takes care of the overall situation and tries to be patient as much as possible, just looking forward to the day when the prince can come to preside over justice for us, my lord." A series of cries and shouts.
Erqi knew that he was purely talking nonsense, thought slightly, and turned into the account behind him. Tang Xiyao asked, "What are you doing outside, the ghost is crying wolf?" ”
Erqi said: "Pretend to be pitiful." It seems that the ghost horse means that unless we dispose of the ghost village first, he will never hand over the chart happily. This guy is treacherous, and although he doesn't know through us, he wants to use your status as a prince against his opponents. ”
"What then?" Ye Suiyun ran out of ideas.
Erqi said: "Now I have to go to Shangjubin to find the ghost village first, and when I get the lower part of the chart, I will come back to find the ghost horse to ask for the upper part, and then I will forgive him and dare not say a word." ”
"It's okay, sooner or later, it's okay to go, it's early or late." Ye Suiyun agreed.
Tang Xiyao said: "Without further ado, leave early if you get it early, I don't know if there will be anything extraneous after a long time." ”
The three of them agreed, and Erqi came out of the big tent and said: "The prince said, the territory of Rilun Mountain City is chaotic, and it is not your fault. Since the ghost village does not act according to the orders of the head city, and wantonly causes trouble, it is difficult to escape punishment. In order to show justice, the prince decided to take the lead in going to Shangjubin and recovering the lower part of the chart, can you be convinced? ”
Ghost Horse said: "Convincing, convincing, long live His Majesty the Emperor, Chitose Wangye." "Crawling on the ground and worshipping non-stop, thinking in my heart, 'Ghost village child, you also have today, even if Lao Tzu is not happy, I have to take you on my back first.'"
Subsequently, Oni Red Deer also sent several samurai to carry Ye Suiyun's tent sedan chair, led by Yiwu all the way to the east. After traveling a few miles, the gang turned north again. After walking for a while, I saw a suspension bridge in front of me, and when I looked at it from afar, the figure on the bridge was shaking, and it was the samurai of Kamiihama. Unlike the chestnut shirts worn by the Ryumohama people, the clothes on their bodies are all cyan.
These Tsing Yi warriors seemed to be in charge of guarding the drawbridge, and when they suddenly saw someone here, they shouted, "Who is it? Hold it. ”
Yiwu said loudly: "The Emperor's envoy, His Majesty Prince Azuki has arrived, why don't you hurry up to greet him?" ”
The warriors in Tsing Yi looked at each other and were at a loss. One of them was the first to react and said, "Please. Please later, I'll go back. With that, he ran back along the drawbridge, and the others followed suit.
Yi Wu said: "The prince is coming, these bastards don't dare to be presumptuous even if they are arrogant." Erqi nodded slightly, and said, "You are equal in number to Shangjubin, if you fight, which is better?" ”
Yi Wumian said angrily: "It was almost the same before, if you do it with real swords and guns, even if you don't win, you can't lose too much." But then I stayed in the cute sea, but I gradually fell behind. ”
Erqi asked, "Why is that?" ”
Yiwu said: "I don't know when they have a secret weapon, what is it called... What is it called, the rocket sent out is like thunder and lightning, and it explodes when it hits the ground, even if it is a rammed earth wall. Many of our brothers have died on this. ”
As soon as the words fell, they heard a whistle-like sound in the air, and before everyone could react, a beam of fire fell in front of the big tent, with a loud bang, flames splashed, and the first few Liumeng warriors had been blown up into the sky and lost their lives.
Ye Suiyun jumped out with a whizz, pulling Tang Xiyao to hide behind a big tree, and the others also dodged. Yiwu shouted to Erqi as he ran: "That's it, it's this, you see, how powerful it is." Erqi couldn't cry or laugh, and shouted: "Shut up, hide." ”
The rockets kept falling, the explosions were deafening, and even the big tent palanquin had been blown to pieces. Everyone shrank their necks and hid behind the big trees and boulders, not daring to probe. It took a while for the rocket's offensive to finally stop. It seems that the other party thinks that the people here are dead and want to check it out.
Yiwu still didn't dare to show his head, and shouted: "Tufei, the prince is here, you still can't stop?" ”
Someone on the other side replied, "Where did you come from, Your Majesty?" The treacherous people who stay in Mengbin love to deceive people the most, so I don't believe it. Keep attacking. "The speaker is the head of Kamiihama who is in charge of guarding the suspension bridge, Tohi Thirty-six.
Yiwu said angrily, "You are so bold。。。。。 The latter words have been drowned out by the sound of another explosion. Erqi shouted into Ye Suiyun's ear: "Shangjubin is going to blow us up." ”
Ye Suiyun looked around left and right, jumped out, and rushed towards the suspension bridge, but saw that the yellow smoke was billowing all over his eyes, and his vision was extremely unclear. Hearing the fire arrows flying around him, he concentrated on finding the right direction, and touched the bridge in three or two steps.
The two samurai who stayed on the bridge suddenly noticed someone rushing out of the smoke and hurriedly drew their swords. Ye Suiyun rushed up and grabbed the two, touched head to head, and immediately lost consciousness.
Ye Suiyun continued to rush forward, and when he reached the end of the bridge, he jumped up and jumped over the four samurai who were blocking there. In mid-air, he caught a glimpse of a dozen men with torches not far away, and in front of them were several strangely shaped carts, which were shooting flames side by side in the direction of the bridge. At the end, a big fat samurai was babbling something, knowing that this person must be the leader.
When the warriors saw that the enemy had arrived in front of them, they raised their swords to meet them, and Ye Suiyun pointed to the ground on tiptoe, jumped up again, and rushed straight to the fat man. He moved and dodged quickly, and the swords around him flashed, but he couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the fat man's eyes.
The fat man was frightened, reached out to draw the knife, but unexpectedly grabbed a hollow, looked down carefully, the scabbard was still there, but the long knife was already in the hands of the person in front of him like a Dapeng bird flying. Ye Suiyun put the tip of the knife against the fat man's throat, and the rest of the warriors didn't dare to act rashly.
Ye Suiyun suddenly made a difficulty, he didn't understand their language, and he didn't know what to say right now. I had to stalemate with a large group of samurai, all of whom were in place. Of course, the rocket car had also stopped firing, and suddenly the whole world was quiet again.
Fortunately, Erqi in the compartment over there was clever enough, and as soon as he heard that the momentum was gone, he knew that Ye Suiyun had succeeded. Immediately led the few remaining people and Tang Xiyao to run quickly across the suspension bridge, shouting: "You are so bold, you dare to attempt to murder the prince, don't you want to die?" As he spoke, he lit up the prince's seal.
The fat man was Tu Fei Thirty-six, who was restrained by Ye Suiyun with a knife at this moment, and did not dare to move a little, and said in fear: "It turns out... It turned out that it was really Prince Anji who arrived.,I.。。 I thought it was the people who stayed in the bay to deceive me.,That's it.。。。。 I hope your forgiveness. ”
Erqi pretended to be stern and said: "Even if it is not for the arrival of the prince, you are equal to the emperor's people, and they are both in the lower part of the Wheel Castle, can they attack and kill each other?" If the emperor learns about it, he will certainly be greatly punished. "Tu Fei Lian claims to be.
Although Ye Suiyun couldn't understand their conversation, he knew that the situation had been controlled, so he withdrew the knife, took a few steps back and stood tall, but the knife was still in his hand. Tu Fei trembled and said: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince is such a martial arts master, and the villain admires it." ”
Erqi said: "Don't talk nonsense, go and notify the ghost village and ask him to come out to greet him." Tu Fei nodded and took the order. When he walked away, Yiwu expressed to Erqi that he was unwilling to meet with the ghost village and others, and after confessing his guilt, he led the only remaining subordinates to carry a few people who were killed by the bombing, and returned to Liumengbin to make an errand, leaving Ye Suiyun and the three to continue waiting.
Erqi said: "I finally understand something. Ye Suiyun asked, "What?" Erqi said: "I understand why the above designated you to participate in this operation." ”
After a while, I saw a large group of people coming, led by a middle-aged samurai with a fierce expression, it seemed that it was the captain of Kamiihama Ghost Village Kamiki. Sure enough, the man came to the front and knelt down on one knee, "The villain ghost village is on the tree to greet the late, please atone for the prince's sins." Nearly 100 samurai in the back also knelt on the ground. What made Ye Suiyun's heart skip a beat was that he saw a warrior beside the ghost village, who was the one he had rescued from Duan Baosheng in Hujian Ridge.
Erqi raised his hand and said, "That's it." ”
Ye Suiyun opened the Seven Bone Fan, and Erqi knew that he had something to say to himself, so he leaned forward. Ye Suiyun covered his face with a fan and whispered: "The person next to the ghost village has seen us, and it is estimated that he has not recognized it yet." Look at this formation is getting bigger and bigger, who knows what other branches, it will inevitably show the horse's feet, let's quickly find a way to take the chart and walk. ”
Erqi nodded, walked in front of the ghost village, and said loudly: "This time, the prince came here on the secret order of the emperor, and along the way, he saw that the samurai under his rule were attacking each other, and there was no discipline. The prince was very angry, and now ordered that Er hand over the lower part of the Tang Haitu and accept the punishment. The prince will discuss the relevant matters of Shangjuhama and make a decision after discussing with the lord of the Rim Castle, what else do you have to say? ”
What is surprising is that Ghost Village Shangshu heard that he was dismissed, but he didn't show any resentment, and said: "The prince has an order, and the villain should respect himself, and he doesn't dare to disobey it." "Looks convincing. Erqi and Ye Suiyun glanced at each other, but they were a little surprised.
The ghost village said: "The chart is valuable, and the villain doesn't dare to carry it with him, so please move the prince to the camp to rest, and I will take the chart and present it." ”
Erqi thought about it and nodded in agreement. The ghost village was overjoyed and ordered someone to bring a new sedan chair. Ye Suiyun didn't know what was going on at all, only to see Erqi wink, nod slightly, and sit down.
When they came to the official residence of Kamijihama, the three of them were invited to the main hall. The ghost village called someone to serve tea, and said, "Please sit down for a while, and the villain will bring the chart now." After saying that, he retreated.
The three of them drank tea separately, and they didn't dare to talk casually, for fear that someone would eavesdrop on them, and the stuffing would be exposed.
After a long time like this, but no one came, and after listening carefully, there seemed to be no movement around, as if there were only three of them left in the huge official house, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but feel a little strange, and faintly uneasy.
