Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

"Subordinates understand?" Hearing Wang Wenzuo's lesson, Cui Hongdu couldn't help sweating, and sighed: "I thought I had learned a lot about your skills, Sanlang, but I didn't expect it to be completely different when you use it. ah!"

"Master leads the door, practice is up to everyone!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "People like you and I should be open and honest on weekdays and treat scholars modestly, but we always need to use some tricks and tricks, but how much is used, how much?" When to use it, who to use it for, and how to use it can’t be summed up in a word, you can only think carefully and deduce it by yourself!”

"I understand!" Cui Hongdu nodded: "Then Sanlang, who do you plan to give the credentials to?"

"Of course it's for three people at the same time!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "As long as no one has become king yet!"

"What? Giving it to three people at the same time? Doesn't it seem appropriate?" Cui Hongdu was taken aback.

"What's inappropriate?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "The letter of credence didn't say who it must be given to, let alone who should be appointed as an official. These three people are all possible heirs. Why can't they be given to three people at the same time?"

"That's true!" Cui Hongdu gradually followed Wang Wenzuo's thinking at this time: "If I give it to one of them, I will offend the other two, and the person who has won the letter of credence may not be grateful to me. Why don't I just give it to me at the same time?" The three of them, in this way, the three of them will continue to fight among themselves, so we still have a chance!"

"Children can be taught!" Wang Wenzuo patted Cui Hongdu's shoulder with a smile. It turned out that when Wang Wenzuo left Chang'an, no one knew who the new Japanese king was, so it was not clearly written in the official letter of the imperial court. He simply wrote about the lord of the Japanese kingdom vaguely, which gave Wang Wenzuo a relatively large room for manipulation. After all, the future Japanese king must be selected from among the three princes, the prince of Zhongda, the prince of Hairen, and the prince of Saitama. It is definitely not wrong to hand over the credentials to three people at the same time.

"Then when do you plan to do it?"

"Don't worry about this, let's wait and see what happens!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "Hongdu, don't you feel that the atmosphere in the Japanese capital is a bit heavy, and it seems that something big is about to happen?"

"Really?" Cui Hongdu scratched the back of his head: "We were sent here as soon as we disembarked. The surroundings are very heavily guarded. I really don't know how the atmosphere in the capital is!"

"It's true that you can't see the capital of the Japanese people here, but you can still see some on the lake!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to the west: "In the past few days, I have seen ships coming frequently on the lake. many!"

"Is this normal?" Cui Hongdu smiled and said, "Although this place is not as good as Chang'an, there should be tens of thousands of households anyway. Is it strange that there are more ships transporting grain and other heavy cargo?"

"That's right, but which heavy cargo ship can use both sail and oar to run so fast?" Wang Wenzuo laughed.

Cui Hongdu's face changed slightly: "You mean the Japanese soldiers on board?"

"Well!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Of course, it is not surprising that troops are transferred from outside at this juncture, so let's wait and see what happens now!"

At dawn, Sha Zha Xiangru struggled to free his hands and feet from his soft limbs, climbed off the bed, slipped out the door, and bought two rice balls and a salted fish at a stall not far away to fill his stomach. After eating his belly, he walked towards Ampere's house.Today is the deadline for completing the task. After all, the barefoot man may spend the night in the city after taking the gold sand, and then go back. If he can’t return to the agreed place before dusk the next day, no matter how stupid his tribe is, he will know what happened. Misfortune happened.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and from time to time a team of patrolmen passed by, and Sha Zha Xiangru had to retreat to the side of the road to bow from time to time, which made him annoyed and humiliated. He is one of the eight surnames in Baekje One is that since his great-grandfather, he has held at least an official position like Ping Zuo, but now he has to make way for a group of Japanese miscellaneous soldiers who can't hold a spear well.At this time, he suddenly thought of Hei Chi Chang Zhi, what would happen if his good friend were in this situation?

"This bastard will definitely say that if he comes, he will be safe, and then bury his head lower! It's a pity that he is so big, no matter how he lowers his head, he will still be noticed!" Smiling, recalling the past is one of the few pleasures he has had since coming to Wa, especially that friend, sometimes he wonders what would happen if he fled back to Baekje: there is no doubt that Hei Chi Changzhi will definitely use his wealth I guarantee my life, plus what I did for the Tang people in the rebel army, it is definitely not a big problem to save the lives of the clansmen, but if this is the case, I don’t have to take the big risk to follow Fuyu Fengzhang to Japan Well, isn't he doing this just to sell this guy to the Tang people for a good price in the future as his own advancement?If I want to go back to Baekje, I must make a career and go back.

After spending more than three times the usual time, Sha Zha Xiangru finally arrived at Ampere House. Fortunately, this time he did not see any soldiers surrounding here. He walked to the checkpoint in front of the door, took out the token from his pocket, Pass it to the officer on duty: "I'm from Kyushu, and I want to see a man who keeps his word!"

The officer looked at the token of Sha Zha Xiangru, and looked at the man in front of him in surprise. If the token is true, it means that this person is under the orders of one of the most powerful members of the Ampere family. The token was returned to Sha Zha Xiangru: "Please come with me"

Sha Zha Xiangru nodded. Under the guidance of the officer, he walked through the trench and the surrounding wooden fence, and came to a wooden house that was obviously used for soldiers to live temporarily. Along the way, he could see many soldiers in armor and carrying bows and arrows. Soldiers, women, and old people are also busy making dry food, clean cloth for wounds, torches and other supplies needed for war. Obviously, I read it right last night, the cloud of war is covering the mansion.

"What's going on here? Is there going to be a war?"

"Please go inside and wait, I'll send someone to invite you right away!" The officer did not answer Sha Zha Xiangru's question, but made a gesture to invite him into the room.Sha Zhaxiangru didn't ask any further questions, and refusing to answer is sometimes an answer. This at least shows that the current situation is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Sha Zha Xiangru didn't wait too long. After about half a minute, a shrewd and capable middle-aged man came in at the door. Judging from his tall nose, deep eyes and bearded face, he should be from Ainu. Has Ainu blood.After he asked Sha Zha Xiangru to take out the token and check it again, his attitude became enthusiastic: "Miss, are you okay?"

"Okay, everything is fine!" Sha Zha Xiangru said with a smile: "I'm coming back this time as ordered by His Majesty to do an errand, and I need to borrow twenty experts from your house, please agree!"

When the visitor heard Sha Zha Xiangru say the word "Your Majesty", the corners of his mouth twisted, as if trying to suppress his smile, but he nodded anyway: "Twenty masters are enough?"

"That's enough, but you have to be strict with your mouth and hard-hearted, and you can do it to women and children!" Sha Zha Xiangru said: "By the way, I also need a guide who is familiar with the surrounding terrain!"

"Don't worry about that, I'll transfer twenty people who have just been transferred from the Eastern Territory. These people deal with the barbarians around all day long, and you can tell them to kill anyone!" The middle-aged man replied: "When do you want it? "

"The sooner the better!"

"That's good!" The middle-aged man walked to the door, gave some instructions to his companion, and then said to Sha Zha: "You wait here for a while, we will be there soon!"

"Thank you very much!" Sha Zha Xiangru said with a smile: "When I just came in from the outside, I saw that the mansion was heavily guarded and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere on the street. What's going on? Is there going to be a war? "

"Don't you know?" The middle-aged man laughed: "Several royal families who hope to compete for the throne have called soldiers. Although our Ampere family doesn't want to get involved, we still have to make preparations for self-protection!"

"So that's what happened!" Sha Zha Xiangru heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "These royal families are also real, can't we let everyone have a peaceful life for two days?"

This slightly out-of-the-box complaint won the favor of the middle-aged man. He smiled and shook his head: "Yes, but what can I do? By the way, you haven't eaten yet. I'll ask someone to bring some food." Come!"

"No need, I already ate on the way here!" Sha Zha Xiangru hurriedly replied.

"Then bring a few rice balls and pickled plums as dry food!" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The rice balls from An Pei's house in Kyoto can't be eaten anywhere!"

————————————————————————————

Kasuga Taisha, back mountain.

Sha Zhaxiangru leaned on a rock, gnawed on the rice balls, and looked for the "cave next to the cherry blossom forest" that the barefoot man said. The rice balls from Ampere's family tasted really good, except that they used white rice, and they were also mixed with plums. , Dried sea vegetables, fish, and scallops are salty and light after the entrance. Obviously, this is at least something that only the upper-class people in Fuchu can eat. I saw that the person had a lot of Ainu blood on him, so I said something on purpose Unexpectedly, the bad words of the Japanese royal family were tried correctly.

Suddenly, Sha Zha Xiangru put down the rice ball and moved his body closer. It turned out that a few women appeared beside the stream not far away with bamboo baskets full of clothes.

"Finally found it!" Sha Zhaxiangru breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around carefully, lowered his body, and made a gesture to the twenty Ampere family warriors behind him to spread out to the two wings and then surround them. Then the two Ten people spread out like well-trained hounds.Sha Zha looked at all this with satisfaction. The man did not lie to himself. These people are tough guys who came out of the wilderness. You just need to tell them what to do and point out the target. Sit down and wait for the good news.

About half an hour later, the leader of the warriors came back to report that everything was over. After confirming that there were no survivors, Sha Zha Xiangru ordered all the corpses to be thrown into the cave, and then poured oil on them, covered them with dead branches and burned them. After everything, he left contentedly.Now finally no one knows that he was involved in the attack.

In Asuka, you can see the house.

Seeing Chi Yu sitting cross-legged on the smooth floor of the corridor, the unstringed bow of love lay across his knees, and the floor next to him was strewn with bow strings, beeswax, sponges for waxing the bow, and jugs and wine glasses. In his spare time, he I like sitting here alone, basking in the sun, drinking a little wine, and waxing and maintaining my love bow.This always reminded him that when he was a child, his grandfather held him in his arms like this, waxing and maintaining his bow while drinking; The old jug in Grandpa's hand, wondering if he could secretly take a sip.Now that grandpa has already been buried in the ground, I see that Akira already has a grandson himself, but he still takes care of the bow and arrows in the yard like this, which makes him think about whether to send his grandson to Asuka when he is a little older. I can tell him the inheritance of the trace family just like my grandfather treated me.

Seeing that Chi Yu finished waxing the bow, and after stringing it, he tried to draw two full bows. After confirming that there was no problem, he took off the bowstring and was about to put it into the moisture-proof sealskin bow bag.But he saw his wife rushing in from the outside, and as soon as she saw the red pole, she said loudly: "Husband, husband, it's thanks to me this time!"

"Thanks to you? Thanks to you what?" Jijian Chizhu looked at his wife inexplicably.

Mrs. Ji Jian smiled, walked to the side of Chi Jian, picked up the wine glass, and poured the wine in it casually: "Husband, how much do you think this glass is worth?"

"Didn't you get this from the Tang people that day? How would I know how much it cost?" Chi Jian replied angrily, "Three ingots of silver? Or five buckskins?"

"Hey!" Mrs. Ji Jian said with a smile: "Who asked you how much I spent at the beginning, I am asking how much you are worth now?"

"Isn't this the same thing? What's the difference?" Chi Jian laughed and said, "Didn't all the envoys from the Tang Dynasty come to the capital? Could it be that they raised the price?"

"Price increase?" Mrs. Ji Jian laughed: "As soon as the envoys of the Tang Dynasty arrived in the capital, they were quarantined, and outsiders couldn't get in at all. The Tang products in our hands are the only ones in the capital right now. This wine glass originally had a Yes, I just sold one, what do you think is the price offered by Mrs. Su Wochi?"

"Brother Su and my wife? Surely it's not low? How much?"

"A bag of good Mutsu Sands, one catty!" Mrs. Ji Jian took out a buckskin bag from her bosom, and flaunted it to Chi Jian: "Just the three ingots of silver you said, how much did you turn over?" times?"

"It's so strange!" Seeing that Chi Yan weighed his pocket, but didn't open it: "Brother Su Wochi is the confidant of Brother Zhong and the prince, and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty can't be locked up forever. He can buy it directly from the Tang Dynasty after a few more days." , why spend so much gold dust from you?"

"People just like it, so I don't care how much it is. Besides, who knows if there is such a thing in the Tang Dynasty!" Mrs. Ji Jian wiped the wine glass of Chi Jian while talking, put it in her arms, and went out. Seeing this, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Ma'am, what are you doing? Keep my wine glass!"

"I bought a pair of this bag of gold sand. If you take the gold sand, the cup will naturally belong to him!" Mrs. Ji Jian replied as she walked out, and left the yard without looking back, leaving only a trace of Chi Jian. Helpless face.
