Chapter 110: The Storm Suddenly Changes
Li Yan suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the prince's arm and said, "Your Highness, let's go together!"
But who knew that Jingren shook his head: "No need, it's too late." β
Li Yan didn't know why: "It's late?"
"Yes, it's late. The prince sighed. "If you had taken me away immediately, a large piece of ice would have fallen from the top of the cave when we arrived at the entrance of the cave, just enough to block us. That way we would be able to sneak into the crevices of the mountains without being discovered by our pursuers. But now, it's too late. β
Li Yan was shocked: "Your Highness, our operation is extremely secretive, if there is no third person to know, how can there be pursuers?"
Prince Keihito stared at him and suddenly said, "Draw your sword." β
Li Yan was stunned again: "What?"
Jingren smiled bitterly: "It's late again." Li Remnant, Li Remnant, I Jingren originally wanted to be a loyal minister, but because you couldn't do it!"
Li Yanzheng was surprised, and suddenly felt a piece of talisman paper sticking to his neck. Suddenly drunk, drowsy, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Miyuki was shocked, went over to help Li Yan, turned her head to Nanase and said, "What are you doing here?"
Nanase didn't answer, looked at the prince and said, "You knew I would rebel, right?"
Jing Ren said: "If I have seen your future with the 'Eye of the Imperial Heavenly Venerable', I will naturally know. But alas, I didn't watch out for you. β
Miyuki muttered, "Nanase...... You're kidding, aren't you?"
Nanase suddenly shouted: "Don't pretend to be Miyuki! You pretend to be pitiful in front of others, I've had enough of you!"
Miyuki was stunned by her roar, tears rolling in her eyes.
"Ever since you were a child, you've acted like you're not fighting with me for anything. You always say, 'Nanase-sanata is better than me!' and put on an innocent face.
Yes, that's what it looks like now. Whoever sees you will think that I am a ruthless bad person, and that you are a good boy who has been wronged. But do they know how much I have to pay to be recognized? Why should people who work hard be ridiculed and mean, and good-for-nothing waste should be liked by everyone? This is not how the world should be!"
Miyuki was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. Prince Keihito said, "Nanase, I didn't expect your sisters' misunderstanding to be so deep......"
Nanase turned his head and said, "Shut up for me! My Nanase family is a nobleman." If it weren't for the defeat to the Zong family three hundred years ago, how could I have been reduced to being a servant for you today? Some people think it is an honor to serve you, but I feel that it is a shame! From the first moment I entered the door of your house, all I thought about day and night was how to wash away this shame!"
At this time, there was a noise outside the cave, flags flying under the mountain, and the shogunate army sealed the entire mountain in order to capture Prince Keihito.
A hoarse and cold voice said, "Well done, Nanase-sama." You have made great contributions to this matter, and His Royal Highness will definitely make you the chief priest. β
Nanase stepped back and said, "I have to help me say a few more kind words." β
Surrounded by more than a dozen warriors, one person walked slowly, it was Deng Mojun who occupied Yizang's body.
He proudly asked Prince Keihito, "Can Your Highness see my future?"
Jingren said coldly: "It's not good to die." β
Deng Mojun laughed, and the two warriors escorted the prince down like wolves.
Deng Mojun looked at Li Yan, who was asleep on the ground, and said to Mei Xue: "Little girl, can you take it this time?"
But Miyuki didn't hear it, and looked ahead with empty eyes.
Deng Mojun sneered: "Why don't you speak, are you stupid?" After that, he raised his hand and pressed it towards Miyuki's shoulder. But with a soft bang, Miyuki and Li Yan turned into two small pieces of paper, spun around twice in the air, and fell to the ground.
His face changed, and he hurriedly ran out of the cave and looked up, only to see a red paper crane carrying Miyuki and Li Yan, flying farther and farther in the sky.
Deng Mojun said hatefully: "Damn...... Let this little ghost run away again!"
At this time, Nanase behind him suddenly stood up and said, "Let me come." With that, he took off his longbow, snapped his two fingers, and flapped the strings in the air. I saw a blue flame fly out and shoot at the paper crane.
But I saw the paper crane dangling in the air a few times, and fell straight into the sea......
The news of Prince Keihito's arrest soon spread throughout Fuso, and the world was shaken. One wonders why this strategist who has no last resort can only see through his fate. The situation has also changed. The feudal states that had already made it clear that they supported the Shogunate Movement turned their heads and secretly communicated with the shogunate. Seeing the wind makes the helmsman's face visible.
Only Choshu and Satsuma resisted desperately. There was no room for compromise between them and the shogunate.
"Kojiro-kun!" Lin Junfu shouted anxiously, "You should think of a way! If the prince defects and turns to support the shogunate, our great cause will be finished!"
"Shunsuke, now is the time to act rashly! I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince must have his own arrangements. Besides, Li Jun and Miyuki haven't heard from them yet, so you must be patient!" Kojiro explained countless times, already a little impatient.
"Bear with me, I've already endured enough!" Lin Junfu threw the inkstone on the table to the ground, turned around and walked out. The staff officer on the side asked Kojiro, "Sir, Shunsuke doesn't matter, right?"
Kojiro was also angry, and said angrily: "Let him go, every time he makes trouble, what kind of system!"
However, it was said that Lin Junfu returned to the camp, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he secretly found Takasugi and asked, "Brother Takasugi, Senior Kido's battle plan is too conservative, would you like to be a hero with me? If this matter is successful, you and I can become famous in the world, how about it?"
Takasugi asked cautiously, "What are your plans?"
Two cold lights flashed in Lin Junfu's eyes: "Break into the enemy camp at night and assassinate Qingxi!"
Xingma immediately shook his head and said, "No." Tokugawa Yoshiki is the great general, and the camp must be heavily defended, so how easy is it to assassinate him? β
Lin Junfu said: "Do you think I am a puppet who dares to act without a little certainty?"
He spread out the map and pointed to it: "Fushimi Castle in the south of Kyoto is in a state of military weakness and morale. The younger brother has arranged the internal response, but the soldiers can take this place without blood.
After that, I dispatched a detachment of men and horses to pretend to rescue Prince Keihito, and then contacted the Satsuma Domain to feint and attack the Toba Battalion, which were suspected soldiers. And you and I will lead the elite division to raid the Chinese army on the side, and we will be able to capture it alive!"
Gao Sugi tortured the horse and said: "The plan is a good plan, but this kind of thing is a matter of capturing the enemy alive, how can it succeed without the courage of ten thousand people? It is better to wait for Li Yan to come back and then make a plan." β
Lin Junfu snorted coldly: "Gao Shanjun, it's too late for him to come back." If in the end, the greatest contribution to the founding of our Fusang people is actually a Han person, isn't this a joke? Brother Takasugi, I will consult you when you are a good man who dares to be a hero, but don't let me down!"
Xing Ma thought about it, Lin Junfu's words did have some truth. Besides, Fushimi Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you can take it, you will get a lot of words: "Okay, let's do this vote!"
Lin Junfu was overjoyed, and after returning to the camp, he secretly ordered troops and horses, and set off with Takasugi's troops.
At that time, Takasugi had a guard of 300 men under him, and the force was superior and unstoppable, and the people of the time called it the "Strange Soldier Team". This expedition is also impressively listed.
The army marched to Fushimi Castle in the night, and when they saw the torches on the castle tower swaying three times, they knew that they should succeed, so they waved their flags and shouted to kill them from the four gates.
The soldiers in the city were people of a small domain, and they had no intention of getting involved in the war at all, and they surrendered immediately when they saw the ChΕshΕ« army coming.
Lin Junfuzhi was full of pride, and laughed: "I took Fushimi City like a bag to get something, and I must have succeeded in assassinating Qingxi." "Then lead the army straight to Toba.
Halfway through, the spies came to report that the Satsuma army took the lead in attacking and robbing the camp, killing more than 200 shogunate troops. On the other hand, the rescue team has intercepted Prince Keihito's escort and is engaged in a fierce battle. The shogunate army was at a moment when the morale of the army was shaken.
Lin Junfu was overjoyed, and ordered the whole army to speed up for an hour, and then arrived at the military tent in the shogunate army. Looking from a distance, I saw the samurai in the camp walking in twos and threes, and the defense was not very tight. There is a person in the center of the seat in a magnificent large armor, and it seems that it is Tokugawa Yoshiki.
Lin Junfu thought to himself: "It seems that God intends to make me famous, why will I wait if I don't go at this time?"
The Choshu sergeant entered the camp like a tiger descending from the mountain, and in a moment he brought down all the guards, and the odd army even captured Tokugawa Yoshisheng alive.
Lin Junfu walked up to Qingxi proudly and said, "Can the general recognize me Lin Junfu?"
I didn't think about it, the man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know...... I'm just a woodcutter, not a general!"
Lin Junfu's face changed, and he grabbed the man's collar and shouted, "What did you say?"
The man cried: "The villain is indeed just a woodcutter near Kyoto, who was captured by His Royal Highness the General as a stand-in, and the rest really don't know anything!"
Lin Junfu looked carefully, this person had dark skin and dull eyes, he really didn't look like a pampered nobleman, and when he was about to ask carefully, his subordinates suddenly pointed to the distance: "Sir, look!"
Lin Junfu put his hand on the pergola and looked over, only to see flags waving two hundred steps away, and a general riding a white horse was patrolling left and right. Shunsuke said in a deep voice: "I must be really happy to come to that guy, and all the troops will kill with me!"
The Choshu army immediately turned around and attacked, relying on the courage of the strange soldiers, and with great difficulty, they dispersed the shogunate army with great difficulty, and surrounded the white horse general legion.
Lin Junfu laughed: "Tokugawa Qingxi, this time you have no way to escape, right?"
But as soon as the man spoke, everyone was stunned, and it turned out to be an authentic Choshu dialect: "Mr. Shunsuke, I am a Choshu soldier, and I was captured by the shogunate dog thieves." β
Lin Junfu wondered, "Then how are you here?"
The soldier said, "The shogunate tied me to a horse and pretended to be Tokugawa Yoshiki, in order to lure Mr. into the bait!"
When Lin Junfu heard this, he shouted, "It's not good, retreat!"
But suddenly, the shouts of killing on all sides shook the sky, arrows rained down, and the Changzhou army was killed and wounded countless. Takasugi rescued Lin Junfu and shouted: "Don't mess up, break through with me!"
