There was no doubt about victory, and it only took ten minutes for the Japanese to be routed and fled.

After spending so much effort, how could they let the Japanese escape alive, the soldiers began a one-sided game of eating chicken.

It took about half an hour for the Ming army to gather back together, and all the fleeing Japanese were beheaded except for the sporadic ones.

"Thirteenth Master, this is a big victory!" Zhang Qianhu was full of joy.

Zhu Jinghong nodded and said: "Today's merits are all brave soldiers, and I will ask the saint for your merits!" ”

Look, this is the Thirteenth Master, as soon as he opens his mouth, he asks for merit from the saint.

These middle and lower-level officers, the merits of these middle and lower-level officers are reviewed by the capital department at most, and the hope of being learned by the military department is very slim, let alone known by the emperor.

"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!" All the people bowed down in unison.

Then the crowd began to put the finishing touches, the wounded soldiers needed to be rescued, and the battlefield needed to be cleaned......

Paying attention to the direction of Hou Jing's departure, Zhu Jinghong was still a little anxious in his heart, for fear that something would happen to Hou Jing and the others.

But normally speaking, as long as Hou Jing and them are better equipped and have a great advantage in numbers, they should be able to take down the thieves steadily.

"Thirteenth Master, they're back......"

After thinking about it, he heard the reminder, Zhu Jinghong looked up into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the smoke and dust had risen in the distance.

"It seems that they did not return in vain!" Zhu Jinghong smiled.

He had already seen that there were several horses carrying people, and they were supposed to be captured captives.

Before he got close, he could hear the cheers of Hou Jing and a few people, and it seemed that the results of this battle were good.

"Thirteenth Master, someone has caught it for you!"

Okamoto Zhengying and several entourages were tied up, first pulled off the horse by Hou Jing and smashed to the ground, and then dragged by Zhang Lin to Zhu Jinghong.

"Thirteenth master, this kid is the leader!"

"We chased after us just now, and everyone else stayed behind to break off, so he was on the run with two followers!"

Okamoto Masaoei is very young, no more than twenty years old, and at this moment he is constantly looking around, his expression full of fear.

How crazy he was just now, how cowardly he is now.

"What's your name?" Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice.

"Thirteenth Master, this guy is Japanese, he can't understand the language of our Celestial Empire, so he has to translate it by someone who understands their bird language!"

After saying this, Hou Jing pulled the other captive off his horse and kicked the man who was pretending to be dead to wake up.

"Didn't you say that you would be a wolf? Hurry up and translate! ”

"Yes, yes...... The villain does it, the villain does it! The man on the ground replied again and again.

"Who is he?" Zhu Jinghong asked directly to the "translator".

"General Hui, this person has only been here for a short time, and he should be a big man, but I don't know what his identity is......"

"General, I am also a good citizen, I only know some Japanese dialect when I run out with the caravan, and I am also a good person......

"Two days ago, I was also forced to ...... thief"

Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "I asked him, what is his identity!" ”

So this man conveyed Zhu Jinghong's words in Japanese.

Even at this moment, Okamoto Masatoshi is unwilling to give up on survival, and he has thought of many ways at this moment.

"My name is Okamoto Masaoei, and I am the son of General Okamoto of Japan, and this time I was coerced by my subordinates, and then I ......"

Okamoto Masaoei began to reply, and the man on the side translated directly, and an interrogation began.

At present, Japan is still a shogunate system, but the current shogun is not the Tokugawa family, but the so-called Okamoto family.

"We in Japan are very loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and my father also visits the west every day......"

"Our two countries are kings and ministers, and they are father and son who are related by blood, and now there are some misunderstandings...... It's all our fault! ”

In the mouth of Okamoto Zhengying, he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, but he was tied up by the Japanese to serve as a façade, so he ended up like this.

In a word, he has nothing to do with the Wakos, everything is a misunderstanding.

"I hope the general will forgive us, I will have a good reward when I return to Japan!"

At this time, Okamoto Zhengying pretended not to know Zhu Jinghong's identity, also to survive.

"Money, women, land...... I'll give you whatever you want! ”

"My family has some friends in Daming, some of them are still in the middle of the court, and the promotion of generals can also help!"

Hearing these words in Zhu Jinghong's ears, he felt a little funny.

After all, an hour ago, the girl of the Zhen family told him this.

At this moment, he already knew that the "young master" mentioned by the girl of the Zhen family was referring to this person.

wanted to come to the burning in the village in front of him, and this Okamoto son also handled it single-handedly.

"Thirteenth Master, this guy still doesn't know your identity, do you want to tell him?"

Zhu Jinghong did not answer, but asked the guards on the left and right: "You say, how should this person be handled?" ”

Most of the dragon ban guards will be generals in the future, and Zhu Jinghong wants to hear what they have to say.

Zhang Lin immediately spoke: "Thirteenth master, if you kill it with a knife, there are few words of truth in this guy's mouth!" ”

And Lu Yuxin on the side said: "After all, this person is the young master of Japan, so he killed him rashly...... I'm afraid it's not good, so it's better to leave it to the imperial court! ”

"Hou Jing, what do you think?"

"Thirteenth master, the minister also thinks that it is better to be cautious!"

Zhu Jinghong nodded slightly and said, "I understand, he is from Japan after all...... The young master, who is also a person with some status, really can't be dealt with rashly! ”

And their conversation was also told by the translator to Okamoto Masaoei, who immediately felt hopeful when he heard it.

As long as you don't die now, after being handed over to the Ming court, everything will have room to turn around.

Thinking of these, Okamoto Zhengying was overjoyed in his heart, and at the same time he had a contempt for Zhu Jinghong.

Of course, he had all these thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't see half of it on his face.

"After all, he is the young lord of Japan, if the law of the country is imposed...... Wouldn't it embarrass both countries? ”

"In my opinion, it's better to just let it go!"

Zhu Jinghong's words surprised everyone present.

Just now he was shouting and shouting to kill, and he was going to release people so soon? Just because the other party is the so-called "young master" of Japan?

You are the son of Emperor Ming, are you still afraid of such a thing?

Everyone was puzzled, and even Masaoshi Okamoto, who listened to the translation, thought that he had misheard.

"Thirteenth Master, this ...... I'm afraid it's not right! ”

Zhu Jinghong didn't want to say more, and immediately ordered: "It's decided, untie the rope on his body, and let him go......"

"Thirteenth Master ......" Hou Jing still wanted to persuade again.

"Let him go!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong's resolute attitude, Hou Jing and the others had no choice but to reluctantly untie the rope.

"Thank you, General, when I return to Japan, there will be a good reward!

After listening to the translation, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, I will let you go today and leave quickly...... Be a good person in the future! ”

Until now, Okamoto Masei still felt unrealistic, but under Zhu Jinghong's sincere gaze, he still turned around and ran away.

Every time he ran a few steps, this guy would look back and see Zhu Jinghong's smile.

After running thirty or forty meters, Okamoto Masaei finally put his mind at ease and ran away without looking back.

Seeing him running farther and farther, Zhu Jinghong said to the guards on the side: "Bring a bow to ......"

Yes?

Everyone was confused, and the guards next to them were full of doubts, and handed Zhu Jinghong's strong bow over.

Zhang bowed and arrows, Zhu Jinghong smiled and looked left and right, and asked, "What do you say...... Can this arrow be hit? ”

At this point, everyone knows that Zhu Jinghong did not intend to let go of Okamoto Zhengying.

"The Thirteenth Master Divine Shot, of course he can hit!" Hou Jing was the first to speak.

Zhu Jinghong laughed twice, and then the arrow roared away.

Okamoto had already run sixty or seventy meters, and just when he was happy in his heart, he felt a sharp pain in his thigh, so much so that he fell directly to the ground.

Who is going to kill themselves? Could it be that Zhu Shisan can't even control his subordinates?

Okamoto was puzzled, so he endured the pain and propped himself up, suppressed the fear and despair in his heart, and turned to see the situation.

However, the next moment, another arrow hit his shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground again.

He saw clearly that it was Zhu Jinghong who was pulling the bow, and the person who claimed to release himself was actually lying to himself......

Fear, fear, shame......

How hopeful Okamoto was just now, how desperate he is at this moment.

He really doesn't want to die, he still has a great life, he wants to live very, very much!

Summoning the last shred of courage, Okamoto Masatoshi propped himself up and wanted to continue to flee forward......

The third arrow, however, pierced his throat directly.

fell to the ground and "gurgled" a few times like Yamamoto Zhuo, and Okamoto Masaoei stopped moving.

killed Okamoto Zhengying, Zhu Jinghong was a little more angry, how could he let Okamoto go, this is Jinling!

These gangsters like to torture and kill the people the most, and today he also gave this guy three arrows, which can be regarded as treating them in the way of others.

Throwing the bow to the guards beside him, Zhu Jinghong said to the trembling interpreter: "I heard that there are still some remnants of Japanese pirates on the island, you go and tell them that the thirteenth master of the Ming Dynasty slaughtered their young master of Japan!" ”

"If they have a seed, come to me for revenge!"

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......" The translator kowtowed repeatedly.

He is a very life-loving person, so he naturally does not want to be like Okamoto Zhengying, who was tortured and killed by Zhu Jinghong.

"If you don't get out, I'll cut you right now!"

After being untied, the interpreter was forced to run desperately eastward, and he also came to a serpentine position.

Just when everyone thought that this person would also be shot, Zhu Jinghong did not move at all.

"Thirteenth master, if you really want to let this guy go, you will have to ride a horse to chase after you if you run again!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't care, and said: "If you run, you will run, just let him tell those widows at sea that daring to go ashore is a dead end!" ”

Is this really the case?

Definitely not so, shooting Okamoto Masaei and letting the Japanese know that Zhu Jinghong just wanted the news to reach Japan and see the reaction of the shogun.

No matter what the other side reacts, it will have a negative impact on the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and when the other party is not satisfied, they can beat them.

At the same time, acting like this once again proves that Zhu Jinghong acted recklessly, which is tantamount to causing trouble for the court and the emperor.

And Zhu Jinghong himself needs to make this mistake very much in order to neutralize the great contribution he wants to make next.

Otherwise, if he behaves too well, it is really easy to cause trouble, after all, Gao Shuyan has already taken precautions against him.

Therefore, he must maintain his reckless character in order to alleviate the suspicion of the crown prince and King Rui.

Although the thirteenth brother is popular and can fight, he is still a simple-minded and impulsive rammer......

If the crown prince and King Rui thought so, Zhu Jinghong would be thankful.

Of course, he believed that the shrewd old man could see his own brilliance.
