Chapter 125: The Day and Night Feast
Ye Suiyun felt that something was unusual, and was just about to open his mouth to remind the two of them to be careful, when he heard someone running briskly outside, he had no choice but to close his mouth and swallow back what he wanted to say.
The people who came were in a hurry, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry. The hall was violently pushed open, and it was the person who was rescued by Ye Suiyun in Hujian Ridge who came in.
The man said to Ye Suiyun, "You're not Prince Anji, are you?" "It's Central Plains Chinese, but the accent is weird.
Ye Suiyun was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. The man said: "As soon as I saw you, I recognized you, you are the Tang people who helped me on the side of the road a few days ago, how can you be Prince Anji?" β
Ye Suiyun knew that it would be useless to hide it anymore, so he nodded. Tang Xiyao asked, "Now that you recognize him, do you want to go to the informant?" β
The man shook his head and said, "You saved me, how can I be ungrateful?" I'm here to tell you to get out of here. β
Tang Xiyao said: "What does this mean?" β
"The ghost village is mobilizing all the thunderbolts to come and raze this place to the ground, and you will not be allowed to leave alive." That's humane.
The three of them were shocked, and Erqi said: "Did he find out that we were pretending?" β
"No, on the contrary, he thinks you are real envoys of the Prince. Otherwise, why do you think we attacked the Dongli Village last time, just because the ghost village received a secret report that the prince was on that ship. "That's human.
Ye Suiyun and the three of them heard what he said, just as they had guessed before, knowing that this person was not lying, and they immediately believed it in their hearts. The man said, "Escape first, please come with me." "Currently leading the way. The three of them glanced at each other and followed.
Ye Suiyun asked as he walked, "Friend, what's your name?" β
The man said, "I'm Genzo Sato, Ueihama Gomebe Ashigaru." "The three of them knew that 'Ashigaru' was the title of a low-ranking samurai. Tang Xiyao said: "Your Chinese language is good." β
Sato said: "It is not uncommon for a samurai who lives in the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth all year round to speak Chinese. After taking two steps, he asked, "May I ask if Prince Anji is dead?" β
Ye Suiyun did not answer directly, but asked, "Why did you kill Prince An Ji?" β
Sato said: "It's just because there is a secret report from Japan, saying that Prince Azumi is here with a secret order to kill the deputy city lord Nomura Ichiro." β
Tang Xiyao said: "You are so bold, do you think that if you kill the prince, the world will be peaceful?" I believe that if the emperor of your country learns about it, he will be even more furious, and you will not all be finished by then. Sato said: "The Fujiwara suzerain is about to raise troops, and I believe that it will not be long before he will seize the ruling power of Japan, and then everything will be worry-free." However, before that, he could not openly disobey the emperor's orders, so he could only secretly kill the envoy, which could be delayed for a while. The three of them suddenly realized that Fujiwara Hirotsugu, who was in Japan, intended to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, no wonder Ichiro Onimura had no fear and dared to send someone to intercept and kill Prince Azumi.
Ye Suiyun asked: "Sato, which side are you on, if you are from the ghost village, why do you want to help us?" β
"I'm just a footlight, and I listen to whatever the chief says. But I have the dignity of a samurai, and I will never do anything ungrateful. I saved you because you saved me. Genzo Sato said.
As he spoke, he had already left the official residence, and it seemed to be a back door, and there was no one to guard it. Sato said: "They are now deployed in front of the camp, and you can leave from here to the south." He bowed and was about to leave.
"Please stay." Xuanzi Erqi stretched out his hand and asked, "Sato-kun, where is the lower part of the chart?" β
Sato nodded and said, "Onimura Kamiki is cautious and suspicious by nature, so he always carries the charts with him for safekeeping. After speaking, he glanced at everyone and left in a hurry.
Ye Suiyun said: "Now that we know where the things are, it's easy to do, let's go around behind the ghost village and catch him off guard." Tang Xiyao clapped his hands and applauded. The three of them walked through the woods towards the north side of the official residence.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard the familiar sound of an explosion, rumbling non-stop, it seems that the ghost village has begun to attack. The three of them ran in the direction of the black smoke rising, and when they saw that the camp they had just rested in had become a ruin at this moment, they couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thinking that the power of this thunderbolt was really terrifying, and if they hadn't escaped just now, the three of them would probably have died now.
Seeing the rows of thunderbolts in front of him constantly firing rockets, Tufei Thirty-six stood triumphantly beside the ghost village, and occasionally gave orders: "Keep igniting, don't stop." β
Ye Suiyun came behind him with an arrow step, patted the shoulders of the two with both hands, and said with a smile: "What a big handful of fireworks, it looks so tight." β
The shuangwu looked back at the person who came, dumbfounded. The next moment he came back to his senses, and Tu Fei Thirty-six drew his sword and slashed. Ye Suiyun hated the two of them, and he didn't want to be merciful, he grabbed the soil fertilizer and threw it out, and the fat body of the soil crossed the thunderbolt, and before it landed, it was hit by a burst of flames, and there was no corpse.
Ghost Village Shangshu was quick-witted and reacted quickly, and when Ye Suiyun was dealing with soil fertilizer, he took a knife in his hand and swooped at Tang Xiyao, intending to coerce her as a hostage, but Ye Suiyun turned around and chased back still half a beat slower. Unexpectedly, the Xuanzi Erqi beside Tang Xiyao had already been on guard, and poked a half wooden peg in his hand that he had found at some point to the ground, and the other end was pointed at the ghost village.
The ghost village was in mid-air, there was no way to avoid it, and this pounce was done with all his might, the momentum was extremely fierce, and with a snort, he was pierced in the chest by the wooden peg, and he was killed immediately.
The two leaders were killed in the blink of an eye, and the samurai were so stunned that they didn't know what to do. Erqi knew that he could not lose the opportunity, if he waited for these people to come back to his senses, he would have to cut the three of them into meat sauce, and shouted: "All the samurai don't need to panic, the prince was ordered by the emperor to kill the rebel ghost Murakami and the bandits thirty-six, and the rest of the people are not accountable." β
Genzo Sato was also among them, he didn't expect these three people to come back and kill the two leaders, at this moment, when he heard Erqi's shouting, he hurriedly took the lead and said: "Since it is an order from His Majesty the Emperor, we should respect it." This took the lead, and the remaining more than 100 samurai also responded, they were the same as Sato, after all, they were loyal to the supreme leader, but they didn't expect that the dignified emperor would have the leisure to send someone to kill a captain and a vice captain.
Erqi squatted down, flipped over the ghost village, and sure enough, he found the lower half of the chart, and he was overjoyed, and said, "I found it." He was about to stand up, but he found that there was still something in the bag of the ghost village, and he reached out and took it out, it was a blue cloth bag, and the word 'treasure' was embroidered on it. The strange thing is that the cloth bag has no mouth, and all four sides are sewn with thread.
Ye Suiyun looked at it in his eyes, and then thought that this was not exactly what Yang Bao was looking for? He reached out and took it, and his palm touched it, and it seemed to be a boxy hard box inside. Tang Xiyao said: "This thing is completely sewn into a cloth bag, I don't know what it is so mysterious, don't you open it and take a look?" β
Ye Suiyun shook his head with a smile and said, "Since he keeps it like this, he just doesn't want people to see it, why do we have to open it." This Yang Bao is like a child, I guess, maybe it's the household stuff he uses to play. β
At this time, Genzo Sato came over and said, "You guys go quickly, while the news of the death of the ghost village has not spread, run for your life quickly." Ye Suiyun and the three of them didn't understand the meaning of his words, and they were all a little dazed.
Sato said: "More than 100 people here are specially responsible for operating the thunderbolt car, although you have been temporarily frightened, but there are more than 3,000 samurai in the entire Kamiihama area, and they will arrive in a blink of an eye, if you don't leave, you may not be able to get out safely at that time." β
Only then did the three of them understand that since the chart had arrived, of course, they could go as fast as they could. After Xuanzi Erqi pretended to explain a few more words, he hurriedly left Shangjubin with Ye Tang and the others.
After walking across the suspension bridge, they found that there was no one chasing behind them, and the three of them were a little relieved. Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "When I came, I carried a sedan chair, but when I came back, it was so desolate. β
Tang Xiyao sneered: "Brother Ye, you are not bad, you have even sat in a sedan chair, but I have been walking behind non-stop." β
When he returned to Liumengbin, he saw from a distance that the ghost red deer had also led everyone to wait at the entrance of the department, he was overjoyed when he saw Ye Suiyun and the three of them returning, bowed to the ground, held a scroll high in both hands, and said: "The villain has been waiting for the prince for a long time, this is the upper part of the Tang Dynasty chart, please accept it." The three of them were puzzled, for the ghost horse, handing over the chart was like a resignation, I don't know why he seemed to have no worries, but a little happy.
Erqi took the lead in recovering his spirit, took the chart, nodded and said: "Ghost Horse Jun, you have meritorious assistance this time, and when the prince is given to His Majesty the Emperor tomorrow, you should be rewarded." β
Ghost Red Deer also said: "Yes, thank you envoy." β
Erqi couldn't help but ask, "What happened to make you so happy?" β
Ghost Horse said: "Back to the envoy, because the young general just got the news, the prince is fair, not only took the nautical chart of the bastard thing in the ghost village, but even took his little life, we admire the prince very much." "It turned out that I was happy like this because of the death of the ghost village, and these guys are quick to news. Erqi nodded and said, "Your merits have been recorded, then go back to the camp, the prince has other affairs, so I won't leave much." After speaking, Chong Ye Suiyun and Tang Xiyao made a look, it was time to slip away.
The two of them understood and were about to leave, when the ghost horse asked puzzledly: "Dare to ask the envoy, where are you going?" β
Erqi said with a presence: "The prince's whereabouts are cautious, you don't need to know." β
"Yes" The ghost horse was frightened: "But isn't it time for the prince to set off for Rilun Mountain City?" β
Erqi was startled, and pretended to be calm and said, "Hmm... Well.. That's a natural way to go, but there's no need to rush. β
Ghost Maqi said: "It turns out that the envoy has not received the news yet, and the city lord knows that the prince has arrived, so he specially sent someone to greet him, and he has been waiting for a long time." As he spoke, he pointed behind him with his hand, and saw more than 20 samurai, carrying a large sedan chair, waiting there. The palanquin was more imposing and magnificent than the previous tent.
Ye Suiyun didn't know what they were talking about, but when he saw Erqi's complexion change suddenly, he unfolded the Seven Bone Fan again. Erqi heard the sound and approached quickly, Ye Suiyun asked, "What's the matter?" β
Erqi said in a low voice: "It's bad, it's bad, it's not good, I don't know which person sent a message, Yuan Mingya, the lord of Rilun City, actually sent someone to pick us up into the city, if we meet, it won't be exposed immediately." β
Ye Suiyun was also anxious: "What should I do?" Why don't you break out now? Just rush to Chang Qiaozi. β
Tang Xiyao obstructed: "No, there are too many of them, even if you can get out, Erqi and I won't be able to get out." She glanced into the distance and said, "At the moment, there is no other way but to take one step at a time, just follow them to Rilun Mountain City, and then wait for the opportunity to slip away." Ye Suiyun had no choice but to do so, and secretly thought that if he encountered danger, he would definitely restrain Yuan Mingya as quickly as possible, so that he would have a chance to escape.
Erqi turned around and pretended to say: "In this case, then let's set off, the prince has also seen the city lord earlier." β
Ghost Horse said: "Yes." Turning around and saying hello a few times, waiting for a cadre of people who had been behind for a long time to carry the sedan chair forward, Ye Suiyun was helpless and stepped forward to sit up. The ghost red deer and others knelt respectfully on both sides of the road to send the team away.
The group moved forward silently. The sky gradually darkened, Ye Suiyun sat in the sedan chair, he couldn't see the situation outside, he felt that the terrain was getting higher and higher, and he seemed to be going up the mountain. He thought that the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, Tang Xiyao didn't know what to do, he must have complained in his heart, blaming himself for taking a sedan chair while she had to hike. After walking for a while, the sedan car stopped, and only someone spoke, and then someone on his side replied, all in Japanese that he didn't understand. Ye Suiyun thought that he must have arrived in the mountain city, and was being checked by the guards.
The team continued to move forward, and through the gauze tent, Ye Suiyun saw clusters of firelight passing by from time to time outside. Along the way, he was stopped and questioned several times, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, thinking that this place was so tightly guarded, it would not be easy to leave.
Finally, after a long wait, the sedan car landed. Erqi lifted the curtain of the gauze tent, Ye Suiyun walked out, and in front of him was a wide wooden door, and there were two tall gatehouses on the left and right sides of the door, which was very imposing.
A samurai leading the way shouted something to the top, and the wooden door slowly opened, and the samurai made a gesture to invite in, and led the way. At this time, there was already no advance or retreat, Ye Suiyun looked at Tang Xiyao, who was also nervous beside him, and had to walk in.
After walking more than ten zhang, I stepped on a section of bluestone stairs. When you go up to the top, you will see a large carpet spread on the floor, and two small tables full of food and wine are placed on the left and right of the carpet, making a total of four tables. Except for the direction that Ye followed the clouds to enter, the other three sides of the entire site were covered by delicate screens. Illuminated by dozens of white lanterns, it was daylight. Ye Suiyun knew that this must be the Sun Wheel City Lord in order to welcome his banquet, and he was even more secretly vigilant in his heart.
As far as I looked, I saw a person sitting behind the first table in his left hand, with a black face, a gloomy expression, and a samurai's hair bun braided on his head. At the second table was an old man with a slight beard, about fifty years of age, sitting upright, with an extraordinary bearing.
The first table on the right was empty, and I thought it was a seat for myself. At the second table was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a black beard that stood out. This is nothing, what surprised Ye Suiyun the most was that there was no name standing behind this person. Ye Suiyun remembered that he had told himself that he had led all his juniors and disciples here to protect an important person named Li Chongmao, and it seemed that it was him. Behind the nameless stood the sixteen swordsmen.
At the end of the carpet was a separate table, and a person sat peacefully in the middle, Ye Suiyun knew that it must be the seat of the master of this room, the Lord of the Sun Wheel City. It's just that it's still far away, and I can't really see what the person looks like.
At this moment, the samurai who led the way stopped, shouted a loud word, and then bowed and retreated. When the chairman heard this, he stood up and said, "Uncle An Ji Huang has crossed the ocean and worked hard all the way, please take a seat." What was surprising was that he spoke in Central Plains Chinese, and his voice was childish.
Ye Suiyun finally saw the person who spoke clearly, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The famous Rilun City Lord in front of him was thin and small, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was wearing a loose blue and white hunting suit. It turned out to be the weird little boy he met when he attacked Saltless Island at night.
