Jukai Nakatsu arranged for the three of them to dine in a living room, and the dinner was sea bream, delicate kimchi and Kishu miso soup, which looked very inviting under the warm yellow light.

Chongwen grabbed the old monk and said with a smile: "Master Juehai, I heard that monks are not taboo in meat and wine, that... Is it to send some wine, this day the bird faded out of the mouth. ”

Jekai Nakatsu smiled, "That's nature. ”

After a while, the three waiters came up with wine plates, serving wine and food, and the old monk of the sea bowed and retreated. A waiter was the one who had served Chongwen in the bath, and sat in front of this Dakang warrior with a smile, holding the wine jug and pouring wine diligently.

The catfish baby ate sweetly, and said while eating: "These servants are really weird, the lord gave his subordinates to death actually seppuku, or a decent death." It's better for me to be well-off, so I might as well leave a whole corpse. ”

Chongwen said: "The kraken has seen it all, this is also a rarity? Dakang is also a hundred miles away, let alone thousands of miles overseas." ”

Lai Cainiu suddenly said vaguely: "Yes... Go home... ”

Chongwen drank a glass of wine, shook his head and said, "No, I can't go back to Dragon King Island yet, and I can't imagine that the birdmen of the country are so difficult, and I'm afraid the island will be bitter for a while." ”

The catfish boy said, "Then where will we go after we leave the city?"

Chongwen said: "Go to Hirado, the shogunate is about to start a war with the Kang people and the Matsuura party there, and we can't sit idly by and watch the Kang people suffer. ”

Catfish Boy said with some puzzlement: "They control the old route, it is the trouble of Dragon King Island, wouldn't it be good to let the shogunate get rid of it for us." ”

Chongwen threw his chopsticks and scolded: "Bastard! No matter how you are a native of Dakang and a member of Emperor Gao, how can you let the barbarians bully you, are Longwang Island all such unrighteous people who have entered the mother!" Seeing Chongwen's sudden attack, several frightened maids hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the birds kept whispering in their mouths.

Chongwen waved his hand and said, "That's it, our brothers have a dispute, it has nothing to do with you, let's get up." Seeing Chongwen's gentle voice, Zhong Ji probably understood what he meant, so they sat down beside the three of them and continued to serve tremblingly.

The catfish boy said curtly: "Could it be that those guys in Hirado are still useful?"

Chongwen sighed: "Of course it's useful, we only have a few people and a few boats on Longwang Island, even if we add those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of Huashan Shijiu and Nine Ghost Takara, it is not enough to pry the country, we can't even entrap the Kang people in Hirado, who else can we count on?"

If we don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that we are smuggling Kang goods, where can we get the source of goods? Those Hirado Kang merchants are so powerful that they ignore the sea ban and can even be trafficked into the Chinese treasure "Four Words Poems", why don't we cooperate with them? As long as they take a new route and trade with the Ouchi clan's fleet on Ryuo Island, Ryuo Island will truly become Treasure Island. ”

The catfish boy said: "I understand, in this way, we will not only monopolize the Kang goods, but also the Nanban goods, and the gold and silver of the Qi Kingdom will be moved to our Dragon King Island sooner or later." ”

Chongwen shook his head and said: "To be precise, it is the Kang people and Kang merchants who will monopolize Kang goods and Nanban goods, and the lifeblood of the country is in the hands of Dakang." But this alone is not enough, if we want to prevent the country from colluding with Yongji, we also need to do a bigger business. ”

The catfish boy's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "What kind of business is it, do you want to grab the city in your hands?"

Chongwen smiled and said, "You, you, can't you set your sights bigger?"

The catfish boy scratched the back of his head, and he really couldn't think of any bigger business. However, he knew that it must be a shocking thing to lead them to do when they went to sea, which made the pirate boy who was a little fisherman half a year ago very excited, and he couldn't wait to fight now, as for who to kill, it doesn't matter what the hell you do.

Laicai Niu suddenly put down the wine cup, pushed the concubine on his body aside, and said vigilantly: "No." ”

Chongwen looked into the court, and everything was as usual.

This is an independent courtyard, the hospitality place of the Bamboo Forest Garden, small and elegant. The courtyard was dimly lit, and under a boulder sat two guards of the Ouchi family, right in the dark shadows of the lights. There are a few plum trees and a peach tree in the courtyard, and it is precisely in winter that the grass and trees are withering, and it is impossible to hide people.

Beyond the dark shadow of the courtyard wall, you can see the pavilion on the bamboo mountain in the distance, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the main building swaying in the breeze. The catfish strode out of the living room and looked at the sides of the cloister, where there were two guards and one at each corner. A total of 6 horses protected them, all of them did not squint, apparently not feeling the danger.

The catfish boy retreated to the living room and said with a smile: "This big stupid cow thinks he is a cannon Li Qiqian, don't be surprised, there is no movement outside." ”

The head of the rich bull shook like a rattle, and said stubbornly: "I... Listen... Footsteps, a lot. ”

At this time, even Chongwen became nervous, Lai Cainiu would not say this for no reason, in such a treacherous political climate in this country, anything could happen, he stood up and strode to the corridor.

In the court, the voice of the samurai shouting and questioning was heard, and he turned his head to look at the courtyard gate, where a petite figure was talking loudly to the captain of the guard. It's dark and I can't see clearly, and the voice seems to be Hanako, and the captain of the guard is dutiful and blocks Hanako from entering the door. Chongwen shouted, "Hanako!" and strode to the moon gate.

Sure enough, it's Nonghime's personal maid Hanako, the little girl's Mandarin is not good, she says something loudly, and she can vaguely understand a few words, but she can't connect the sentences with clear meaning. Seeing that Chongwen didn't understand, the little girl handed over a knife to relieve her head, which was the same knife that Chongwen gave to Nongji on the boat for self-defense.

Chongwen took the knife in his hand, but he was a little dazed, what did Nonghime mean by suddenly returning the knife he gave her? He took the knife and checked it repeatedly, there was no entrainment, no note, what did Nonghime want to tell himself? He turned his gaze to Hanako again, the little girl was already in tears, and he finally understood a crucial word: Run...

He suddenly remembered what happened at the beginning, and when he left Ryuno Island, he gave this knife to Nohime. At that time, what he said was that if it reached the point where Nonghime also took a knife into battle, it would be that all the people on Dragon King Island were dead, and if he took this knife and killed it, he could run as far as he could!

Chongwen immediately made a decision, stood in the court and shouted: "Catfish boy, come to Cainiu, copy the guy, and prepare to kill with me!"

In the living room, the two pirates kicked over the paper door without saying a word, and removed the door frame as a weapon. The catfish boy is too long to carry the wooden square, and the Cainiu hands are forceful, pouting the small half, and the catfish boy waving twice, the length is just right, and the Cainiu stretches out his thumb.

The three maids screamed and hugged each other and shrank in the corner, and the catfish boy and the fortune cow didn't look at the three maids, and the hormones stimulated by the battle made the two only want to fight.

The guards of the Ouchi family in the court were at a loss, and these Kang people suddenly went crazy and turned into experts in demolition, what is this going on. The captain of the guard said something to Chongwen sternly, Chongwen couldn't understand a word, he pointed outside and shouted: "Enter your mother! Are you blind, or deaf, don't you hear a noise outside?"

Hanako shouted loudly at a few guards, and at this time everyone felt the ground under their feet shake slightly, and in the darkness in the distance, there was a faint shouting of horses. Catfish Boy and Laicai Niu ran to Chongwen with sticks, and the captain of the guard also understood, and shouted loudly to order the guards in the court to move closer to him, blocking Chongwen and the three behind him.

Chongwen pinned the sword to Hanako's belt, pulled out the short knife, let her hold the hilt, grabbed her small hand tightly with his big hand, and said softly, "Understand? Fighting... Follow me... Hanako nodded emphatically.

Chongwen pulled Hanako behind him and shouted to the captain: "Idiot, do you want to meet the enemy here? The enemy has not 1,000 but 800, and here is the mother waiting for death... If you want to live, go out with your grandfather, if it's dark today, rush out of the Four Heavenly Kings Temple, and there will be a way to live in the city. . . Understood?"

He pulled out the knife at his waist, pushed away a few guards, and strode out.

The captain of the guard didn't understand what Chongwen meant, but he was quite loyal and brave, and walked forward with the rest of the guards and blocked Chongwen, who had to follow behind the captain. The Bamboo Forest Garden is very luxurious, even the paths in the garden are lit up, and the stone lanterns illuminate the courtyard as beautiful as heaven. Chongwen sighed slightly, this Ouchi Yoshihiro doesn't look like a stupid person, how can he not know to extinguish the lights when he encounters an attack, isn't this equivalent to being exposed to the enemy.

The situation was critical, Chongwen didn't think much about it, and the captain of the guard led a group of people to stride through the Bamboo Forest Garden, running past the screaming figures from time to time, but there was not a single warrior on duty. Walking in front of the main building, there was a black light in front of me, and there were men and women running away everywhere, but there was no one to defend them.

The captain of the guard couldn't find the lord Ouchi Yoshihiro, couldn't find the other retainers, and didn't know what was going on, so he looked at Chongwen blankly and didn't know what to do. Chongwen only remembered a west courtyard gate when he came, and he couldn't understand the language, and he couldn't ask if there were other side doors, so he had to point to the direction of the west gate with a big knife. The captain of the guard nodded yes in a panic, and several people walked west again.

rushed to the west gate, and as soon as they appeared, arrows flew in, and Chongwen and the others had to retreat into the courtyard.

Looking outside, I saw that the huge temple was full of torches, like a burning jungle. The jungle was divided into two parts, one was the more than 300 monks of Shitennoji Temple, and the big sword and bow pointed at the other wave of people. On the other side, there were shogunate soldiers with helmets and armor, with their bows and swords out of their sheaths, as many as 7 or 8 hundred, but they were all facing the bamboo forest, and they seemed to have no intention of attacking the monks of the temple.

In front of the gate of the courtyard, there were several corpses of men and women, and their bodies were full of arrows, and they were killed by random arrows in front of the door.

Someone in the shogunate army shouted loudly in Mandarin, which was not very proficient: "Listen to the Dakang pirates in the courtyard, Lord Akamatsu Yoshinori is ordered by the shogun to arrest the Dakang murderers, and no one is allowed to move without anyone else." Listen, all the healthy people, those who abandon their weapons will not die!"

Laicai Niu rose up with divine strength, knocked down the boulder in the courtyard, and blocked it in front of the door. Chongwen was motionless in the dark, he couldn't figure it out, there were hundreds of monks and soldiers in the Four Heavenly Temple, and Yoshihiro Ouchi also had more than 200 elite Ma Huizhong, why didn't there be any movement, and suddenly let the shogunate army kill in front of him? Not to mention that so many soldiers with blades entered the city, how did the congregation let them in?

He didn't think much about it, the shogunate army was obviously coming at him, and now he was blocked in the bamboo forest, as long as the shogunate army rushed into the courtyard, his party would definitely die, no matter how heavy the stone was, it couldn't stop thousands of troops, how to escape, how to escape...

Suddenly, I felt someone tugging on my sleeves, and when I turned around, I saw that it was Hanako. The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the courtyard and said something, Chongwen didn't understand, but the captain of the guard showed surprise and said something loudly to Chongwen.

Chongwen didn't understand either, but he reacted very quickly, and the big knife pointed in the direction indicated by Hanako, and everyone ran to the southeast again. After half a cup of tea in the dark, I came to the southeast corner of the Bamboo Forest Garden. It turned out that there was a big banyan tree here, and several people hugged each other, and part of the huge canopy was already deep outside the courtyard wall.

Chongwen is overjoyed, God help me!
