Brocade tears

President Xiaoxi met the legendary Wang Daoming, the traitor of the Ming court in Jinyiwei's mouth, and the former governor of Jinyiwei Nanzhen Fusi.This man looked tall, with dark skin and a black mustache around his lips. His facial features were handsome, and his eyes were deep, which appeared dim in the dim light of the lantern.In the situation of being taken hostage and completely coerced, he did not feel depressed or flustered.On the contrary, after meeting President Xiaoxi, he complimented him in fluent Japanese:

"General Xiaoxi, it is an honor for me to see a heroic and mighty general who takes the lead. Under the command of His Highness Taige, you are the most brave and fearless. sharp knife."

This series of gorgeous compliments directly made Xiaoxi dizzy. He never thought that a Ming Dynasty person could use the gorgeous Japanese rhetoric that he didn't know how to use very much. It sounded like the nobles around the emperor. Full-fledged public speaking in person.Xiao Xi came from a humble businessman background, and was too far away from the nobles of the public family. The impression of the public family in his mind is that they are all immortals in the sky.Since joining the army, he has been surrounded by more rough soldiers, and he has never had the opportunity to meet the royal family around the emperor. It is just that the awe of the emperor's family from the bone marrow has never dissipated, because for ordinary Japanese people, The Emperor is a god, the most sacred symbol. Although he has no power in the secular world, everyone knows that the real rulers are those generals.Therefore, when facing Wang Daoming, he was a little confused for a while, and the humble memory in his bones was mobilized. After a short period of daze, he couldn't help feeling a little awe and a sense of distance towards Wang Daoming.Not only Xiaoxi, but also Zong Yizhi, who had a more family background than Xiaoxi, couldn't help being very surprised, let alone those generals under Xiaoxi who had made their way up from the bottom by virtue of their military exploits.

This person is really not simple.

Beside Wang Daoming, a warrior with a sword threatened him to come forward to pay respects: "General, under the guard of Shimo Hosokawa Shibei, he will serve as the guard of the head of the Shimadzu family. This time, he will escort the Wang family from the Ming Dynasty."

The generals Xiaoxi greeted him, and then turned their attention to the female ninja holding a bird gun.The female ninja said lightly:

"Next, the ninja Yazu Yasuke." Compared with Hosokawa, Yazu Yasuhui's self-introduction was extremely brief.

"You two have worked hard, please come in with me." Xiao Xi said, and immediately, the generals around him surrounded the three of them, and half-threateningly led the three of them into the robbery hall.

"I heard that you all went through a struggle to come to Pyongyang?" While walking, Xiaoxi asked without looking back.

Hosokawa Shihei glanced at Yazu Yasuke, and replied: "The head of the Shimadzu family is a little hesitant about the hostage exchange, and it is always difficult to make a judgment. What's more, Mrs. Wang is indeed a very useful talent. Shimadzu It is very difficult for the head of the family to part with one another, and difficult decisions must be made."

"Hehehe, I thought that the head of the Shimadzu family is a hero, and he can give up his relatives when he achieves a big event. I didn't expect that he would pay attention to brotherhood, and finally chose to exchange his younger brother." Xiaoxi said sarcastically.

Hosokawa Shihei smiled lightly, and replied: "After all, he is a Ming, and he was a traitor, how can he be more trustworthy than his own brother?"

The words are high-sounding, but the filth in it is difficult for outsiders to understand.In fact, as early as a few months ago, Yoshihiro Shimadzu received the news that his third brother Shimadzu Tokihisa had fallen into the hands of Akito, and that he was planning to use Ming to counterattack Toyotomi Hideyoshi. conspiracy.At that time, in order to preserve the family's status and power in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ruling group and safeguard the overall interests of the family, he had already chosen to cut off his righteousness with the third brother.It's a big joke to talk about brotherly love now.

The reason why Wang Daoming was able to appear here is inseparable from Hosokawa Shihei's strong recommendation and Yazu Yasuhui's preemptive strike.Because the two knew Yoshihiro Shimadzu's possible attitude on this matter, in order to prevent accidents, Mizu Yasuhiro kidnapped Wang Daoming and hid him in the hidden place.Afterwards, Hosokawa Shihei and Shimadzu Yoshihiro met in secret, trying to show off all kinds of strengths, which finally led to Shimadzu Yoshihiro's very reluctant response.In fact, Shimadzu Yoshihiro is not stupid, he knows that as long as his younger brother is in the hands of Ming, he will have a thorn in his back, and he will have no peace for a day.Only by finding his younger brother early and bringing him to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to plead guilty, can the hidden danger be eradicated.For this reason, it is not a bad idea to exchange someone who became attached to him because of the Ming Dynasty's rebellion.It's just that he doesn't want President Xiaonishi to intervene here, so that he can also get a share of the pie. What he worries most is that Xiaoxi will not only control Shimadzu Suijiu so that he cannot return, but also hold Wang Daoming, Wouldn't it be a big loss for Shimadzu to let Wang serve him, and he would be coerced by Xiaoxi from now on?

But in this situation, he has no choice. Shimadzu Yoshihiro was extremely annoyed by Mitsu Yasuke's killing first and then playing. He threatened to chop up the Mizu sisters, but he had no choice but to gamble.

However, these things are currently only clear to Yazu Yasuke and Hosokawa Shihei, Wang Daoming is not clear, and Shimadzu, in order to ensure the confidentiality of this matter and prevent more forces from intervening, they also It will not be announced loudly to the outside world, and only a very few confidantes know about it.

The reason why Hosokawa Shihei helped Yazu Yasuke was because he originally served in the Takeda family. As a low-ranking samurai, he developed a close relationship with Yazu Yasuke in the Yazu family of Takeda Shingen's senior retainer. He was expelled as a ronin because of a private love affair that did not meet his status, and was later incorporated by the Shimadzu family.This is also the reason why Yazu Yasuke fled to serve Shimadzu after the Mizu family was wiped out by the Oda army. She wanted to reconnect with Hosokawa.It's just that the two of them are still not married, and have always been just lovers, but the two of them have already made a private decision for life.

President Xiaoxi led Wang Daoming to the high seat in the interrogation hall of the burglary hall, where his subordinates had prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones. He pointed to the pens and papers on the table and said to Wang Daoming:

"Mr. Wang, please write a letter of confession, explaining that you are currently in Pyongyang, leave reliable written evidence, and it would be best to have a token. Then I will send your autographed letter and token to Ming Dynasty." In front of the military outpost, let them send Shimadzu Suihisa to the city immediately."

Xiaoxi obviously didn't intend to discuss this matter with Wang Daoming, but ordered him to do so, although his words were very polite.Wang Daoming was not in a hurry to write obediently, but asked:

"General Konishi, I would like to ask you for advice. Please answer me sincerely. After my exchange with Shimadzu Suihisa, how will the general deal with me?"

"How about disposing of the two words, Mr. Wang is a wise man, he can help me. People from the Ming Dynasty should not be afraid." Xiao Xixing smiled on his long face.

Wang Daoming stared at this smile. He really believed Xiaoxi's meaning. Xiaoxi had no intention of handing himself back to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for a peaceful withdrawal from Pyongyang.So he laughed and said:

"Since the general wants to make use of the wisdom of my subordinates, if I am not talented, I will first present a strategy to the general as a vote of honor. How about the general pay close attention to the entry and exit of ordinary gates and strengthen the defense. At the same time, send troops to screen and search in the city. The detailed work of the Ming Dynasty. I can be sure that at this time, eight or nine out of ten people from the Ming Dynasty have already mixed into the city. As for the documents sent to the Ming Dynasty people, there is no rush. It's not too late to exchange. Also, I guess the general has imprisoned the Ming Dynasty mission and his party in the prison of the robbery hall. You'd better check to see if these people are still staying there honestly in prison."

After that, he glanced at Mitsu Yasuke.Mizu Anhui's eyes gradually turned cold, and she had murderous intent towards Wang Daoming. At this moment, her heart trembled. Wang Daoming roughly figured out the strategy of her and her sister based on some guesswork.The suggestion he gave to President Xiaoxi was fatal, this person deserves to die!

Xiaoxi couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and immediately asked the tall Japanese general to take people to the prison to confirm the situation, and sent another small general to stop the Japanese army in the city from starting to investigate carefully.

"Sir is talented, I admire it. Sir, wait here with me, and wait for my people to find out the results of the situation report."

"It's okay, I'll write slowly, you check slowly, we have plenty of time to spend with the people of the Ming Dynasty." Wang Daoming smiled, sat on the high seat, and began to write the confession.

……

Meng Kuang left in Mijin Annan. After the jailer came down to check, he quietly opened the padlocks of the three cells where everyone was detained with the lock pick, but still hung the chain on the door, pretending that the door was still locked.At the same time, she sat on the edge of the haystack, covered the Teng Dao with the hay, and kept her hand on the edge of the handle of the Teng Dao, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

Mizu Annan told them to wait for her signal to break through, but since Wang Daoming is likely to arrive tonight, variables may happen at any time.Everyone was tense and focused on catching the slightest movement outside the cell.

At that time, Li Laosan was in the side door in the northwest corner of the robbery hall. He grabbed a Japanese soldier guarding here, covered his mouth, and wrung his neck silently.There are actually two people guarding this side door, and the other person was attracted away by the movement made by Li Laosan with stones.After quickly killing the Japanese soldier, Li Laosan put his body down, then took a few steps forward quickly and silently, and caught up with the Japanese soldier who was checking the situation not far away. Its strangled.

He then hid the corpses of two Japanese soldiers in the shadow of a building next to the side door, stripped off one of them's clothing, replaced it with his own, and equipped the opponent's weapon.He put on the Japanese bamboo hat, pressed down to cover his face, and then went to the arresting hall to investigate in a natural way.

He groped along the west wall to the south, and after a while he heard the cry of night owl from outside, and immediately recognized that it was Zhu Yan outside who gave him a signal again, he immediately stopped and looked around cautiously , while the same mockingbird called the response.Not long after, there were several night owls of different lengths and regular pitches, and Li Laosan read out the meaning:

[The target has appeared. 】

The target... is that Wang Daoming has already appeared, and he immediately understood what Zhu Yan meant. The secret is not good, this Wang Daoming came too early, they must step up their actions, otherwise they may fall short.

He immediately went to the prison of the arresting and robbery hall, because he seriously suspected that Guo Dayou and others were being held there immediately.

……

The tall Japanese general under Xiaonishi Xingchang led a team of Japanese soldiers down to the prison of Pyongyang Mansion in the Capture and Pirate Hall, and greeted the jailer guarding outside. The jailer immediately opened the front of the Japanese general. Iron gate, Japanese will lead people to enter.

He walked straight along the aisle of the cell until he reached the three cells where Meng Kuang and others were held. Their sudden arrival made Meng Kuang and others' spirits tense to the extreme.It was too late to re-lock the lock at this time, if they found that the lock had been opened, it was time to do it.

Meng Kuang didn't move, and lowered his head and eyebrows, looking as if he was discouraged, but his hand was already clenched on the handle of the scissor knife hidden in the straw pile.And Sui'er had already wrapped the child with high fever in Meng Kuang's clothes tightly, and hugged her in her arms, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

As soon as the general of the Japanese army walked in, he saw that the situation in the prison seemed to be normal, but he was not so easy to fool. President Xiaoxi sent him down to check, but he was not perfunctory, and immediately ordered the Japanese prison guards who followed him to open the door. The door of the cell, he was going to go in and search to see if the Ming Dynasty people were doing something wrong.

The jailer immediately took the key and was about to open the prison door.At this time, the situation was extremely critical, because the general of the Japanese army led a team of ten people to block the door of the cell, and everyone was blocked in the cell, the place was narrow, and everyone had no weapons in their hands, only Meng Kuang held a pistol. Can't use it at all.These Japanese soldiers all had firecrackers in their hands, and the lethality of the two sides was completely incomparable. Once the Ming Dynasty envoys attacked violently, and the opponents fired collectively, it would cause irreparable damage to everyone in the prison.Even a super expert like Meng Kuang couldn't get out of the dense artillery fire, not to mention that weak people like Sui'er and Xiao Shunzhen were also in prison at this time.

The risk of doing it is too great, but if they allow the Japanese army to find out that the cell door is open, it will inevitably expose the fact that they have internal support in the city.At that time, they don't know what kind of difficulties they will encounter from President Xiaoxi, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Out of the corner of Meng Kuang's eyes, he saw Guo Dayou secretly gesturing to him in the opposite cell, asking her to be calm and not to use force.

Just when the jailer was about to grab the lock, suddenly an old voice sounded from the entrance of the cell corridor:

"Hey, aren't you going to arrest Ming Dynasty people? Ming Dynasty people are here!"

In the darkness, a scarred face was looming, everyone's hearts were in their throats, and the general of the Japanese army and the ten-man team were also caught in a brief moment of horror and sluggishness.After a while, they finally came to their senses, and the Japanese general immediately shouted an order:

"Catch him for me!"

"Bang", the Japanese army's iron cannon was fired in the cell, and an unparalleled melee officially began.
