Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 418 Fox Fur Vest
"What else can it be for?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "For Your Majesty, what greater joy is there than defeating the traitor and returning to the capital?"

"Defeat the traitor and return to the capital?" Saitama's expression became serious: "Neifu, do you think we can still defeat Katsuragi?"

"Of course!" Wang Wenzuo replied without hesitation: "There are five important things in soldiers: fight if you can fight, defend if you can't fight, and leave if you can't fight. The other two things are surrender and death. Naturally, I will not surrender and die. I won’t leave either, the rest is nothing more than fighting and defending, I have selected the elite a few days ago, and after the training is finished, I can break the thief!”

"You mean the shooting ceremony a few days ago?" Saitama asked.

"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo nodded: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the burning of the boat master. The only benefit that Brother Zhong can get is to transport food by water, and nothing else. The boat can't get up when the battle is over. It works!"

"That's right!" Saitama nodded: "Then can we win? After all, our army has only a little more than [-] people, and Katsuragi is probably three times as strong as me, right?"

"When we were in Baekje back then, the entire army of the Tang Dynasty was no more than [-] people!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Guishi Fuxin and Daochen each had tens of thousands of soldiers, and there were more than [-] Japanese soldiers sent by Brother Zhong to Baekje." , Who is the winner in the end? If the side with more people wins, and the side with fewer people loses, then there is no need to be too big. Both sides will bring out their own troops and count them, won’t it be enough?”

"I'm not good at eloquence in the inner palace!" Qiyu said with a smile, "It's just on the battlefield, not just by talking!"

"If I had only relied on my tongue, I would have died in Baekje!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Your Majesty can wait patiently to break the thief!"

Asuka, the mansion of Iwasho, Sakagobu.

"Husband, it's windy outside, why don't you add another coat!" asked the wife.

"Oh!" Sakahebu Panchao responded. In order to participate in the banquet tonight for the new king to celebrate his victory, he specially changed into a yellow silk burqa, which looked more festive, although the current Yamato But there was nothing festive about it.

The wife brought the clothes to be added, and Ban Hebu opened his arms. While dressing him, his wife nagged, "Hey, I fight every day, and I don't know when it will be. Even the gods and Buddhas bless you." The capital city was set on fire, and no ship carrying grain arrived for many days. There was no grain at all in the market, but there were a lot of stolen goods and slaves. Corpses killed by thieves could be seen on the streets every day. Could this be the end of the world that is said in the Buddhist scriptures?"

"Don't say these things in the future! Don't cause trouble!" Sakahebu Panyu said in a deep voice. His wife is a continuation, and everything is good, but she talks too much, but the current situation is chaotic, and the new king's men are all They are barbarians, it would be bad if their words are careless and cause death.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say any more!" The wife pushed the Sakahebu Pansho to the bronze mirror: "Look, how does this fox fur vest match the color of your burqa? At the banquet of the new king It must be the most conspicuous!"

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Banchao Sakahebu trembled slightly. The fox fur on his body was obtained by his beloved eldest son, Yuya Sakabe, on his first hunting trip. Sakahebu Yuya sent troops to Baekje soon after, and never came back. This fox fur vest was also put at the bottom of the box by Sakahebu Panchao, and was never taken out again.

"Where did you find this vest?" asked Iwasho Sakaabe.

"From the bottom of the wooden box at the back of the side room!" The wife didn't feel the strangeness of Sakahebu Pansho: "I only discovered it when I asked the maid to tidy up the room. Such a good leather is stuffed in the box, and it is not often Take it out to dry, it will become moldy after a long time!"

Sakahebu Pansho let out a long breath, yes!It was five years ago that Sakahebu Yuya went hunting, and his wife passed away only after the eldest son went out to fight. How could her stepmother know the origin of this fox fur vest that was pressed at the bottom of the box?Perhaps the eldest son has long been buried in a corner that no one knows, and the trees on the grave are as tall as a person?Thinking of this, Sakahebu Iwasho's eyes couldn't help but sore for a while, and tears slid down.

"Hey!" The wife finally noticed the strangeness of Sakahebe's rock spade: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

"It's nothing!" Sakahebu Panchao hurriedly turned his head and wiped away his tears: "I accidentally got sand in my eyes just now!"

"Then do you want to blow it?"

"No need!" Sakahebu Pansho laughed and said, "The sand has already come out! It's getting late, I'm leaving!"

"En!" The wife nodded, and she looked her husband up and down: "Okay, let's go! Let the new king see the demeanor of the head of the Sakahebu!"

Iwasho Sakago went to the door, kissed his wife, then got on his horse and walked across the street surrounded by guards.Ever since Brother Zhong’s army entered Asuka, the streets of the capital at night have been very unsettled. Well, in fact, it’s not safe to go anywhere during the day. There are often soldiers who are drunk with snatched women and speak with an Omi accent. Crossing the market, no one dares to control them.Everyone knows that Brother Zhongda relied on the support of these people to ascend to the throne. The common people and businessmen shook their heads and sighed when they compared the randomness under Brother Zhongda's rule with the distribution of food under Saitama's short-term rule.

And there is an even more creepy rumor circulating in the upper class of Kyoto - if Brother Naka cannot defeat Saitama in a short time, then he will indulge his subordinates to loot the entire Asuka capital and kill his opponents , and then took the rest of the people over the Kasagi Mountains, and moved the capital to Omi.When this is mentioned, there is no one who does not tremble—the royal family, priests, and tribal leaders have operated in the Nara Basin for hundreds of years, and they have intricate forces. No matter who ascends to the big position, they must satisfy their interests .And if they were pulled to Jinjiang, not to mention the suffering on the way, they would be potted plants after they arrived in Jinjiang country, and they were allowed to be manipulated by Brother Zhong at will.

Just as Sakahebu Iwasho was thinking hard on his horse, two masked men rushed out from the front of the team, and the accompanying guards hurriedly drew their swords—this was not a trivial matter.But the two uninvited guests did not act hostilely. The leader raised his hands high, showing that he was unarmed, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, we are not thieves, I just want to meet your master, just to meet!"

The guards cursed angrily. In Japan at that time, it was considered rude for a person of low status to ask for a nobleman like Iwasho Sakaabe on the street.But the leading masked guest was not afraid: "Your master is Iwasa Sakaabe! I am his old friend, please let me meet him!"

Hearing the voice of the masked guest, Sakahebu Panzhao frowned. If he had been driven away by his subordinates in normal times, he finally decided to agree to the request of the other party. He rode his horse to the two In front of him: "You said you were my old friend, why did you cover your face so that I wouldn't see it?"

The leader was about to answer, another masked guest who had been silent all this time said in a low voice: "My lord, I know that you have a small hole in the right armpit of the fox fur vest on your body!"

"You, how do you know?" Sakahebu Panchao swayed on the horse's back and almost fell off. It turned out that Sakahebu Yuya shot the fox with a bow and arrow, and there was naturally a spot on the fox fur. The arrow hole, in order to avoid being seen by others, when Fa's wife made this vest, she put the part with the hole in the right armpit, so that others can't see it. Only the three of them in the family know about it, and no one else knows about it. Now, Sakahebu Panchao's wife has long since passed away, and the only people in the world who know about it are their father and son. This makes Sakahebu Panchao not surprised.

Sakahebu Panchao took the initiative to ask questions, but the two of them stopped talking. Sakahebu Panchao calmed down and immediately made a decision: "Okay, you two will follow me back home now!"

"Master!" The guard on the side reminded: "Then what about the king's celebration banquet tonight?"

"You go and take a leave of absence for me, saying that I have caught a cold and can't afford to go out to dinner!"

————————————————————

Sakahebu Panchao returned to the mansion, and immediately asked the two of them to be taken to a side room in the backyard. After asking him not to disturb him, he walked towards the backyard.After entering the door, he saw that the two men were still covered with black veils, and coughed: "Why don't you two take off the veils?"

"There are many people in Beijing who have miscellaneous eyes, and they are afraid of causing disaster!" One person replied.

Sakahebu Panchao nodded, and asked the accompanying guards to exit the door: "Don't come in without my call!"

"Yes, Master!"

When the guards exited the door, Sakahebu Panchao asked, "How do you know about my fox fur vest?"

A masked guest took off his veil, and Sakahebu Pansho widened his eyes and exclaimed, "It's you? Bodhisattva bless you, you didn't die in Baekje. Come, come quickly, and let my father see that you have lost weight." No!"

It turned out that the masked guest was actually Sakahebu Yuya, and the father and son embraced each other and wept, and after a while, Sakahebu Iwazai stopped crying, and said to the remaining human: "I made you laugh at the gaffe. I originally thought that this child would never come back. I felt that life was no longer interesting. I often regretted why I didn’t go to Baekje together. At least the father and son could die together. It’s a great joy to be reunited today. !"

"It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, a child is the treasure of the parents, let alone the eldest son who has been carefully cultivated and inherited the family business! It is a joy to find it again!" the masked guest laughed.

"You said it was my old friend, but who is it?" Sakahebe Iwasho was very happy at this time, and his tone became more humble.

The masked guest took off his veil, revealing a smiling and silent face, it was Shoujun Dashi.Ban Hebu's expression changed slightly: "Shoujun Dashi, is that you?"

Yuya Sakahebu interjected: "Father, after I was captured by the Tang people, thanks to Uncle Oishi's care. He picked me out of the labor force, gave me food and clothes, and arranged for me to live. If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have done it." I know how to get over it!"

"Yumiya, don't talk!" Sakahebu Bansho's tone turned cold, and he looked at the guardian Dashi: "I learned from the people who escaped from Baekje that you and Monobe Renxiong were in Baicunjiang back then. Turning against the Tang people, cutting off the army's retreat route, which led to our army's defeat, is this true?"

"Of course not!" Shoujun Dashi laughed.

"Oh? You didn't turn against Tang Jun? Then why can you take care of my child while everyone is a prisoner?"

"Monobe Renxiong and I did turn against the Tang army. This is a fact!" Shoujun Oishi laughed: "But at that time the situation of the battle was clear and the outcome was decided. Our army was completely defeated, and Monobe Renxiong and I would fight to the end. It can't change the situation!"

"Coward, sophistry!" Sakahebu Panchao said angrily: "You are clearly greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are talking nonsense here!"

"Yumiya Sakaabe was in the Chinese army at the time, and he experienced the battle himself!" Shoujun Oishi pointed at Yuya Sakaabe and said, "You don't believe me, you should trust your own son, right? You can ask him What's the situation? Am I quibbling!"

Sakaabe Iwasho turned his gaze to his son, and Sakaabe Yuya nodded with difficulty: "Father, you didn't see the situation at that time. The people of Tang do possess the power of ghosts and gods, and they cannot be resisted by human beings. Everyone Fighting to the death, but in the end he was defeated. At that time, Uncle Dashi was in the rear, and the river was already full of our ships that were set on fire, so even if he wanted to go up and fight, he couldn't get through!"

"Okay, even if you can't beat the Tang people, then there's no need to turn against you?" Sakahebu Panchao said angrily, "How about saving a few more people and escaping?"

"Escape back?" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "You should know what happened before I went to Baekje, right? If I and Monobe Renxiong escaped like this, what do you think Katsuragi will do with us? Will everything be thrown away? All the blame is placed on us? Execute us?"

"This——" Sakaabu Iwasho's anger was like a deflated balloon. He knew in his heart that Shoujun Oishi was right. It was because of Prince Jian's affairs that he was imprisoned, and was kicked to Baekje as a reinforcement later. If the army is gone, and the two of them come back, they will most likely become Brother Zhong's scapegoat.

"Sakahebu Iwachi, in fact, Mononobe Renkuma and I just opposed Katsuragi, and it did no harm to the Yamato Kingdom!" Shoujun Oishi said, "If we had fought to the end, we would have lost thousands of lives. It doesn’t help the overall situation. After we took refuge in the Tang people, we not only saved thousands of lives, but also benefited the country!”

"Great benefits?" Sakahebu Pansho snorted coldly: "Don't put gold on your face, I admit that you took care of Gongshi and were very kind to me. You did have difficulties at that time, nothing else Choice, but to say defection can still be good for the country, do you think I am a fool?"

"Listen to me!" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "We have been in Baekje for a long time, but we have saved more than one of your sons. Let me ask you, if you lead troops to win the battle, how will you treat the enemy? captive?"

"How to treat the enemy's captives? If you can pay the ransom, then you can exchange it for the ransom. If you can't, then you will be reduced to a slave!"
