The two brothers looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while. What this hateful guy means is that the Ouchi family will either split or perish, and either one is unacceptable to the two brothers.

Suddenly, Chongwen felt a slight shock under his buttocks, he leaned forward, pressed his hand on a writing knife in front of him, and barely raised his head, the Ouchi brothers all opened their mouths widely, and their faces were whiter than paper.

At this moment, the entire second hall swayed violently, and a large amount of dust fell and filled the surroundings. Everyone shook and staggered, Chongwen couldn't sit still, and leaned on the floor. The door posts of the second hall are tilting, the paper door is broken, the wooden floor is bulging and collapsing, breaking the shackles of the mortise and tenon joints, the thick bucket arch is crumbling under the huge torque, and the beams are about to collapse.

The whole courtyard was boiling and screaming, I don't know what sound waves rumbled against Chongwen's eardrums, he felt that his ears were about to explode, he couldn't hear anything, and his vision was blurred.

The head of the head of the city shouted, "It's the earth moving, get out, the house is going to collapse!"

In the violent trembling, Chongwen leaned on the floor and couldn't stand up at all. At a loss, suddenly a big hand lifted his belt and dragged him forward crookedly, and it was Ouchi who saved him.

He was half off the ground, a little out of breath. Looking to the side and back, Ouchi Zhisheng was struggling to climb out of the hall, and a big pillar fell down and was smashing on the waist of the little surname, and he couldn't see that he was alive.

Finally escaped from the second hall and came to the court, Ouchi Chiyo also let go and threw Chongwen to the ground. The violent ground movement suddenly stopped, Chongwen sat up, and looked at each other with Ouchi Zhishi panting, the two escaped death, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Looking at the second hall, seven or eight paper doors have been broken, a few supporting columns have fallen, the floor is tattered, and the beams have also fallen, but the building is really strong, and it has not completely collapsed. If they hadn't rushed out of the second hall, the crooked trees in the hall would probably have killed these people.

The aftershocks did not subside, and there were retainers, servants, and maids running around everywhere, Chongwen saw the majestic body of the rich cow, but did not see Xu Hai. was anxious, only to see Hirai Yanta stumbling towards this side, shouting: "Young master, are you injured?"

Ouchi shouted, "I'm not hurt, go see if there's a fire... ”

Before the words fell, another violent tremor came, and the court suddenly fell again, and cries and cries rang out. A huge crack in the ground spread into the courtyard, and the trees, flowers, roads, stone lamps, houses, and creatures along the way collapsed into the crack, like a wild python devouring its prey. Before he could react, the earth dragon had already extended to his eyes, and the manpower had no time to dodge.

Ouchi screamed and fell into the depths of the earth dragon, and Chongwen reached out like lightning and grabbed one of his sleeves. Ouchi was very stout, and he slid down to the abyss with Chongwen, Chongwen swiped with his left hand, touched a clump of roots, and pulled it stiffly, temporarily stopping the momentum of the fall.

It was a red pine that had been shaken down, the tree had fallen over, and the roots were bare, but it was very vain, and it could bear the weight of two people. The partial Ochinachi motoshi struggled desperately underneath, exacerbating the danger of breaking the roots of the tree.

Chongwen was lying on the ground with big characters on his back, his right hand was like dragging a shaking mountain, gradually weakening, and the skin of the bone joints was a little white. He struggled to turn his head, and was horrified to see that the roots in his left hand were coming out of the dirt little by little, and if the roots could not withstand the weight of the two of them, they would both slide into the abyss.

At this moment, he felt the call of death, but he couldn't let go, he didn't know why. At this moment, he would rather die with an unrelated person ... No, it's not irrelevant, he's Nohime's brother.

Chongwen's consciousness was a little vague, he had never felt that time was so slow and so long.

Suddenly, a shadow enveloped his body, and a strong surge came from his left arm, dragging him and Ouchi away from the abyss together. He felt his whole body loosen, lying limply on the ground, waiting for his beating heart to slowly calm down. It took him a while to regain his ability to think, and the joy of life poured into every pore of his body, and he burst out laughing.

Turning over and sitting up, Lai Cainiu was looking at him with a pair of bull's eyes in confusion. On the other side, Ouchi Zhishi was soft into a puddle of mud, and he was frozen on the ground, and there was no movement for half a day.

Chongwen looked at the Lai Cai Niu with a smile, handed it to him, and the Black Tower Giant held his hand and pulled it gently, and Chongwen jumped up. He walked to Ouchi Zhishi's side, pulled him up, and the young master of the Ouchi family, who was covered in soil, was stunned, and looked at Chongwen blankly.

The earth shook violently again, and in front of everyone's eyes, the three-foot-wide crack in the ground was solemnly closed together with a bang. Everything that fell into the abyss was buried alive, as if the terrifying earth dragon had never appeared.

Ouchi Zhisheng and a group of retainers gathered around, greeted Ouchi Zhishi, and looked at Chongwen's eyes with a little more eagerness. Many people saw the thrilling scene at that time, in the face of life and death, Longwang Island showed great courage, these retainers asked themselves, if they were at sea at that time, is it possible to die rather than let go? I am afraid that few people dare to face this problem head-on.

There was a trace of blood on Ouchi's pale face, and it took a long time to say a sentence in a trembling voice: "It's you... Saved me. ”

Chongwen smiled: "You also saved me." ”

Xu Hai suddenly didn't know where to come from, and said inappropriately: "Those who enter the mother are brothers with the dead and dead." ”

A flash of brilliance flashed in Ouchi Zhishi's eyes, and he said hurriedly: "Yes, the same life and death are brothers." I'm going to join the Tokai Merchant Troupe.,Your cannons can always be aimed at the shogunate.。。。 Please. He bowed.

Chongwen looked at Ouchi Zhishi, shook his head slightly, and said: "No, I don't want you to become a merchant group, I want you to become the governor of Ouchi, and then become a shogunate deacon." ”

It is a country of earthquakes, and such a major earthquake is not unusual. Many houses collapsed in Yamaguchi Castle, and the property damage was great, and the casualties were not light. However, the servants reacted quickly, rescued the wounded and property, put out the fire, and did not panic excessively, nor did they need to visit the government to appease the people, which is also what the servants have experienced since childhood.

The same is true inside Zhou's visit to the national mansion, where the servants and servants clean up the ruins in an orderly manner, and even the children do not cry hysterically. Most of it had already been cleaned up by the time the lantern was held, and there were still a few retainers in the court holding lanterns and digging up the saber that Ouchi had left in the world.

The carpenter of the house has renovated a reception room, and the Ouchi brothers have a banquet here. Xu Hai was worried that the ship would be lost, so he went to the river port despite the darkness, and Hirai Iwata accompanied Laicai Niu to drink in the police beepping room.

The life-and-death rescue during the day has shortened the distance between the two sides, the strong vigilance is gone, and there is no need for psychological warfare to suppress each other. The three of them took a bath, changed into dry clothes, and Ouchi Zhishi no longer sat on the throne, sitting opposite Chongwen, and Zhisheng was accompanied by the prime minister, and was responsible for the wine.

The three of them talked and laughed while drinking, they were all good men who were born and died, and the panic passed quickly, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed.

Ouchi asked sincerely: "Why doesn't the East China Sea merchant group accept my Ouchi clan, can't you trust me when you go to sea?"

Chongwen shook his head and said: "Father and son are not the same, I can't trust Ling Zun, it's not that I can't trust you." It's just... You only know that half of the East China Sea merchant group is a brother, and the dead and dead are brothers, but you don't know that there is another sentence in the back, those who carry brothers will be punished.

If you serve as a shogunate deacon in the future, you will definitely negotiate the future of the country with my Tokai merchant group, so will you be on the side of the shogunate or on the side of the merchant group?

If you are on the side of the merchants, you will betray the interests of the shogunate, which is disloyal to the Kakune clan. If you are on the side of the shogunate, the merchant group will think that you have betrayed your brother, and countless killers will kill you in every possible way. That's not what you and I meant to have a heartfelt relationship, I don't want to embarrass my friend, you can only choose between the two. ”

Ouchi thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you think of making me a shogunate deacon?" If I didn't know who you are, I would have thought it was a big joke. ”

Chongwen smiled slightly and said, "Because I trust you." He raised the wine cup and took a sip of wine, placing it on the dining table, and Ouchi held the wine bottle and gave it to him himself.

Chongwen thanked him before he said, "I hope that in the future it will be an open and rich country, a country that can cooperate with our East China Sea merchant group." But I look at the magnates of the country, they are all selfish, greedy, short-sighted, they are the moths of the country, they can only make the country more and more poor, which is not in the interests of the merchant group... The magnates of the country are the enemies of our merchant group.

The Tokai merchant group could defeat the shogunate army and even overthrow the shogunate, but it was impossible for the merchant group to rule over the tens of millions of people in the country.

I have been agonizing over this matter, and this is also the reason why the merchant group and the General Administration of the country cannot make up their minds to go to war, we can destroy the country, but we are unable to clean up the mess after the war.

But today I met you, a person who still cares about others in the moment of life and death, must be trustworthy. It was at that moment that I found the future ruler of the country, a person who was willing to cooperate with the East China Sea merchant group, a person who could lead the country to prosperity on his behalf.

No, you are not your father, and you may not be as talented as him, but you have one thing that Ling Zun will never have, and that is a benevolent heart. I think your mother must be great, raising you and His Highness Nohime, can I meet him?"

Ouchi shook his head painfully and said, "It's been 6 years since my mother passed away, and there are few women in the country who live long. ”

Chongwen sighed: "That's a pity. ”
