Chapter 327: Transaction
"Since Liu Zongdao has not made any moves for the time being, you don't need to continue to move him, as long as he keeps to himself, the old man doesn't want to embarrass him for the time being!" Now Liu Jin's primary enemies are the civil official group and the Xungui group in the capital, this Liu Zongdao involves Liu Jian, and Liu Jin doesn't want to continue to provoke him for the time being.
"Muzi obeys Liu Gong's order!" Shangshan Muzi bowed down and answered.
"Well, Ashikaga General, the weapons delivered this time should be about to arrive, right?" Liu Jin picked up the tea, took a sip, and said.
"Back to Liu Gong's words! The general has already sent three warships and thousands of warriors to the sea to listen to my orders! At that time, Liu Gong needs to harass the coastal areas, as well as weapons and equipment, will be there!"
After Shangshan Muzi answered, his tone changed and he asked, "It's just that this sinner we need to find, I don't know if Liu Gongke has any news?"
"This old man has instructed the three factories and one guard, and tried his best to find it in the world! Listening to Jinyiwei's report a few days ago, that Ashikaga Yoshisai did come to our Central Plains! But then this person disappeared inexplicably, and now we are still continuing to pursue, please Miss Kamizen and Ashikaga General wait a little, we will definitely be able to find that person, as long as that person is still on the land of the Central Plains!" Liu Jin listened to Shanmuzi's words, and immediately said.
In fact, the alliance between Shangshan Muzi and Liu Jin is just to take what they need! At this point, Shangshan Muzi did not deceive Zilong!
In the sixth year of the reign of Ming Hongzhi, Ashikaga Yoshisai, the Japanese general of the Shoi, was overthrown as a general by Hosokawa Masamoto and Tomiko Hino in Japan because of his father. The current shogun, Ashikaga Yoshisumi, was replaced.
After Ashikaga Yoshisai lost his position as a general, he was afraid of the persecution of Hosokawa Masamoto and Hino Tomiko, so he crossed the ocean with his henchmen samurai and servants and came to the Central Plains. Ashikaga Yoshisumi was not in the right position, and he was afraid that Ashikaga Yoshisai would come back to regain the throne, so with the support of Hosokawa Masamoto, he sent an envoy led by Kamizen Kiko, and in the name of Shanggong Daming, he came to the Central Plains to find Ashikaga Yoshisai, and waited for the opportunity to kill Ashikaga Yoshisai to get rid of future troubles.
This is the basis for the cooperation between Shangshan Muzi and Liu Jin! After Liu Jin knew the mission of Shangshan Muzi, because of his own ambition, he agreed to Shangshan Muzi's request for cooperation. But at the same time, he conspired to control an army of his own, so he reached an agreement with the Ashikaga shogunate to send weapons to the Central Plains from time to time to trade to Liu Jin, and then Liu Jin came to help the Ashikaga shogunate, find Ashikaga Yoshika, and kill this person.
At this time, it has been almost a year since Shangzen Muzi came to the Central Plains, so Liu Jin also had to tell Shangzen Muzi some news that he knew in advance, in order to stabilize Shangzen Muzi and the Ashikaga Shogunate behind her, so that he could continue to get enough benefits from the Ashikaga Shogunate.
After hearing such innocuous news, although Shangshan Muzi was quite disappointed in his heart, he still cheered up and asked, "Oh, since Jinyiwei knows the whereabouts of the sinner, I don't know where the sinner's first stop was when he arrived in the Central Plains?"
The news that Ashikaga Yoshisai came to the Central Plains, the Ashikaga shogunate has long been able to confirm it!
Therefore, Liu Jin's last sentence that Ashikaga Yoshisai had been to the Central Plains really didn't make much sense! Not to mention that Ashikaga Yoshisai left Japan in the sixth year of Hongji, but now it is the fourth year of Zhengde, a difference of at least 16 years!
Sixteen years have passed, and he has become a middle-aged man who is not confused! At this time, Ashikaga Yoshisai is afraid that not only his appearance has changed greatly, but even his personality is very different! What is the point of finding such a person who is so different and only knows that he has been to the Central Plains?
"Ashamed, ashamed!" Liu Jin shook his head and smiled, and said, "According to the official record of Jinyiwei, the first time Ashikaga Yoshisai was discovered by our Ming Dynasty was in Baoding!"
"Huh?" The little hope that Shangshan Muzi had originally ignited couldn't help but be a little extinguished. Baoding belongs to the North Zhili, belongs to the inland area, and the sea is far away, since it is the Ashikaga Yoshisai found here, I am afraid that the traces of Ashikaga Yoshisai have not been intercepted by the Jinyi Guard at all!
"Please also ask Miss Kamizen and General Ashikaga to be patient!" Liu Jin was not embarrassed at all, and only listened to him say, "The first time Ashikaga Yoshisai was discovered was in the eighth year of Hongji! At that time, I was just a small eunuch, not to mention holding power, even my life was in danger! Now that the old man is in charge, the three factories and one guard are all under the command of the old man, and his eyes and ears are all over the country! As long as the old man is given time, he will definitely give Miss Kamizen and the Ashikaga General a satisfactory explanation!"
Liu Jin's words, to a certain extent, are not wrong! For example, the most well-informed person today is not the emperor, but he, the minister of the inner court, deserves to be the first person in the government and the opposition!
So as long as he looks for it carefully, don't say it's a person, even if it's just an item, he can find it for him.
It's just that Liu Jin is very selfish!
Although he made an agreement with Kamizen Kiko and the Japanese Ashikaga shogunate behind her to seek cooperation, he wanted to use the Japanese slaves to achieve his own private goals!
This point, not only the smart man Shangshan Muzi, but even the pure martial artist Bian Cheng Kazuo, can be clearly seen.
But even if Shangshan Muzi discovered Liu Jin's selfishness, he was helpless!
Japan's current national strength is not comparable to that of the Central Plains, and Ashikaga Yoshisai disappeared in the Central Plains! To eradicate the troubles of the Ashikaga shogunate and kill Ashikaga Yoshisai, then we can only rely on the local strength of the Central Plains.
No matter how dissatisfied Shangshan Muzi is, he can only choose to continue to cooperate with Liu Jin, and by the way, cultivate his own power in the Central Plains, and strive to find Ashikaga Yoshisai as soon as possible and complete the mission!
"Liu Gong's words, Mu Zi is naturally convinced!" Shangshan Mu Zi said insincerely.
Liu Jin is also a smart person, so he naturally knows that if he doesn't give these Japanese slaves any sweetness, he is afraid that sooner or later he will fall out with the Japanese slaves. He cooperated with the Japanese slaves, and the use of their force was secondary, and the key was that the unaware and unwitting acquisition of ordnance and weapons was what he needed most.
It's just that Liu Jin came this time, he was originally very prepared, and at that moment he smiled lightly and said: "Miss Shangshan, since you went to Mount Tai last night, you should know the battle of Mount Tai and the final result!"
"I'm ashamed to say it, although the little woman went to Mount Tai with Bian Chengjun, but the masters of the Tianyin Sect are endless, and we are also lucky to get out, this specific battle situation, there is really no way to know, I don't know that the Aolai faction and the Tianhengzi Dao Chief, now are well?"
Shangshan Muzi actually didn't know much about the battle of Mount Tai, after all, although she saw the fierce battle of Mount Tai, but she didn't have time to scatter her manpower, she successively encountered the righteous people led by Wukong and Qingfeng, and the main force of the Tianyin Sect led by Ye Wuyan.
After being defeated by Ye Wuyan, she fled in a hurry, and finally let her go back to the island because Zilong cared about her life-saving grace!
"It's okay!" Liu Jin smiled indifferently and said, "Last night, not only the two factions of Aolai and the Jade Emperor, but even the martial artists of the entire Taishan sect were all wiped out, and now in the Shandong area, the Taishan faction, which was originally faintly the leader, has completely disappeared!"
"Huh?" Shangshan Muzi pretended to be sorry and said, in fact, this result had long been in Shangshan Muzi's guess, after all, she also deliberately caused such a result, but if this idea was discovered by Liu Jin, I was afraid that the cooperation with Liu Jin would have to be terminated.
"Please don't go to your heart!" Shangshan Muzi gently comforted, and said, "It's all because Muzi is not good, he failed to rescue in time, and he was so tired that Tianhengzi Dao Chang died tragically!"
"Don't do Miss Shangshan's business!" Liu Jin actually suspected that Shangshan Muzi did this deliberately, so that Taishan could not affect the entire Shandong martial arts, but first, he had no evidence, and secondly, the role of the Japanese slaves surpassed the Taishan faction and even Shandong Wulin for him, so he did not turn his face, but smiled and said, "It's okay if this Taishan is gone! And the old man personally took people to Taishan, and it was not all for nothing!"
"Oh! I would like to hear about it!" Shangshan Muzi naturally knew that this Liu Jin, as the first person in the Central Plains at the moment, not to mention the daily management of all opportunities, is also busy with mundane affairs, where may he have time to wander around his own island. Originally, she had been thinking about what Liu Jin wanted to do here. Now that Liu Jin opened her mouth like this, she immediately understood that Liu Jin was ready for a showdown, so she bowed down to listen to what Liu Jin said.
"Last night, the Demon Sect attacked Mount Tai in a big way, I was a little negligent beforehand, and when it was too late, I couldn't notify the people and horses under the old man's command, and I couldn't inform you! In desperation, I took the old man's personal subordinates, a total of more than 100 masters, ready to go to Mount Tai to rescue! It's just that the Demon Sect is too cunning, and even set up a block outside the mountain, and the old man observed that he couldn't break the siege in a short time, so he could only take two masters and climb the Aolai Peak from the cliff!" Liu Jin sighed and was proud, but in the end, he was complacent, obviously the cliff to the top was a challenge for him!
"Ahh As the head of the five mountains, Mount Tai has introduced a lot.
Therefore, when Shangshan Muzi was a child, he always longed for the Central Plains and Mount Tai.
After coming to the Central Plains, although she was entangled in affairs, she also took the opportunity to contact Tianhengzi several times, and went to Mount Tai to appreciate it, the eighteen plates of Mount Tai, the sunrise of the Jade Emperor, and the peak of Aolai, she all traveled one by one.
Although the cliff of Aolai is not extremely steep, it is also the only one seen in Shangshan Muzi's life!
She thought to herself that the vast majority of the masters in Japan could not reach the top with just light skills! Even if she was beside her, Kazuo Borderong, who was known as Japan's No. 1 swordsman!
"Hey, hey, just cheat, just cheat!" In fact, climbing to the top of Aolai, it is also the first time that Liu Jin realizes how strong his light skills are, and now enjoying the admiring gaze of Shangshan Muzi, he is also intoxicated, and said happily, "The old man and the two masters, after reaching the top of Aolai, happened to meet the left and right protectors of the Demon Sect, and under the fierce battle, they severely injured the left protector Gu Xiaotian, even if it was the right protector Long Mo, he was also injured not lightly! It can be regarded as avenging the destruction of the Aolai faction under the old man's command! Haha......"
