Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Shuang'er noticed that her husband had changed since Wei Xiaobao started making bread, and she is even more convinced of this today, but she can't find the reason. Maybe he died once and got gold in the palace of the King of Hell, or maybe he was struck by lightning and got enlightenment from God!

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Shuang'er shook her head and simply stopped thinking about it.

……

The next day, in the meeting hall

The four hall masters accepted the work-related knowledge given by Wei Xiaobao yesterday, and went to carry out their work with full confidence early this morning.

Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er were the only ones left in the hall, sitting there.

"Shuang'er, there are only two of us in such a big house. Do you think we should do something?" Wei Xiaobao stared at Shuang'er and said with a smile.

When Shuang'er heard this, her face flushed.

Ever since Wei Xiaobao climbed out of the coffin, Shuang'er knew that her husband was exhausted. No matter how Xiaobao provoked her, she refused to get close to him and they slept in separate beds at night. Shuang'er was worried that Xiaobao would become exhausted again if he did that thing.

"My husband, it's broad daylight, how can you do that?" Shuang'er evaded.

"I thought about it all night last night. That thing really needs to be done, and time is tight. I have to do it!" Wei Xiaobao said seriously.

It's over. It seems that my husband has been driven mad for the past month. Shuang'er doesn't know whether treating him like this is good for his health, but seeing that Xiaobao rarely acts seriously, she can't help but feel uneasy.

"Then... then my husband, if you really want to do that, Shuang'er won't stop you, but... if just in case... if you can't do it, don't be impulsive, come out early!" Shuang'er lowered her head and said stutteringly.

Wei Xiaobao was happy when he heard this. Shuang'er really understood me. If I told Mao Shiba and the others, they might deny it immediately and even put me under house arrest.

As long as Shuang'er agrees, that thing can be accomplished!

Wei Xiaobao was so happy that he went forward and hugged Shuang'er.

"Shuang'er is still obedient and does what people want!"

Shuang'er didn't avoid Wei Xiaobao's hug this time, and whispered, "Husband, the door is still open. Shuang'er will go and close it."

"Why close the door? Let's set off immediately and go to Shuri Castle to find out the situation!" Wei Xiaobao said.

When Shuang'er heard this, she was shocked. Didn't her husband want to do that? Her red cheeks immediately turned pale again.

"Husband, are you going into Shuri Castle? It has just been occupied by Japanese pirates, and they might be massacring the city!" Shuang'er said, shaking her head.

"Don't be afraid. I have your martial arts and my agility. If I run into trouble, I will fight if I can win. If I can't, can't I run away?" Wei Xiaobao said.

"Okay, Shuang'er will listen to my husband." In the original novel, Wei Shuang'er had been to many dangerous places with Wei Xiaobao, so going to Shuri Castle to find out the situation was not a very risky thing for Wei Shuang'er.

The two men left the meeting hall and went straight out of the village gate toward the foot of the mountain. When the soldiers guarding the gate saw that it was Master Wei who could even survive the thunderbolt, they were so scared that they dared not even fart and respectfully escorted the two men out of the village gate.

Shuri Castle North Gate

Seven or eight Japanese soldiers and ronin were standing at the gate, and a row of musketeers was also standing on the city wall.

People entering and leaving the city gate were scattered and were inspected by the Japanese.

"These damn Japanese devils have taken over this place." Wei Xiaobao said indignantly while standing far away from the city gate.

"Husband, the city gate is being inspected. Do we need to hide the Biqing Sword outside?" Shuang'er asked.

"No need, just watch how my husband handles these little devils!"

The two walked towards the city gate, and a ronin at the gate shouted in Chinese: "Stop, what are you doing?"

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he swung his arm and slapped the ronin in the face without saying a word.

"Damn it!" the ronin yelled angrily, and reached for the knife at his waist. The surrounding Japanese soldiers all surrounded him.

"Pa!" Wei Xiaobao slapped him again, and then cursed in pure Japanese pirate language, "Basterds, your whole family is a bastard!"

When the Japanese soldiers saw that Wei Xiaobao was wearing silk and looked very dignified and noble, they all thought that he was the son of some noble family and didn't know what to do for a moment.

In Japan, not only is the samurai hierarchy strict, but the nobles are also sacred and inviolable.

The ronin who received the second slap saw that the Japanese soldiers who surrounded him didn't dare to take action, and he felt that something was wrong, so he stood there in a daze.

Less than ten seconds later, the sergeant leading the group of Japanese soldiers timidly asked, "Sir, who are you?"

"I'm from the Hachijo family in Tokyo, and my name is Hachijo Hakubiao." Wei Xiaobao answered seriously in Japanese.

The Hachijo family?

Although this sergeant was a lowly inferior, he still knew the surnames of the nobles. In Japan, it was irresponsible for a noble to kill an inferior. The nobles were daimyo with titles, and daimyo were like the princes in Chinese history. They were all warlords with real power, territories, and armies.

The Hachijo family was a hereditary duke, and also the daimyo of Tokyo, a close minister to the emperor.

It was the Tokugawa family that attacked Shuri. All Japanese people know that the current emperor is under house arrest by the Tokugawa family in the Tokugawa shogunate. This is using the emperor to control the princes.

But no matter what, the noble family of Hachijo in front of him was not someone that a lowly person like the Japanese soldiers could afford to offend. If he could curry favor with the Hachijo family, he would definitely get promoted and make a fortune.

Thinking of this, the little leader took the lead and knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Xiaobao. When the others saw this, they also knelt down immediately.

"Greetings, Lord Hachijo! I am Goubi no Kami Satoshi of the Ryukyu Expeditionary Army," said the sergeant.

When Shuang'er saw the Japanese soldiers and ronin kneeling down to Wei Xiaobao, and saw her husband speaking Japanese, question marks piled up in her head.

"Yo, nice to meet you, I want to go to the city to have a look." Wei Xiaobao said.

"Sir, the city is still a bit chaotic, and there are anti-Japanese elements active. For your safety, I am willing to follow and protect you." Gou Bi said flatteringly.

Having a Japanese sergeant leading the way would indeed save a lot of trouble. Under the personal leadership of this bastard, Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er successfully entered Shuri Castle.

Shuri Castle was in a mess, with many dead bodies on the streets. The doors and windows of the shops facing the street were all destroyed, and there was nothing left inside.

Apart from the Japanese soldiers and ronin who were still looting and smashing, and the Ryukyu people who were being escorted to collect the bodies, there were basically no people on the streets. Occasionally, two people would show up, and they were all traitors who led the Japanese.

The Japanese changed their temper this time. Although they killed many people, they did not massacre the city or burn down the houses. Maybe they planned to occupy the city for a long time.

As they walked, Wei Xiaobao asked Goubi, "Who is the general of Shuri Castle now?"

"Sir, it's General Tokugawa Sakai of the Tokugawa family." Sergeant Goubi replied.

Tokugawa Rijia was the remnant of the Japanese army stationed outside Shuri Castle, and it was this force that attacked the city.

"Did the Japanese army suffer heavy losses during the siege?" Wei Xiaobao asked tentatively.
